You’ll need to get more specific as to what you’re trying to do. You could make spigot plugins if you want to provide support for spigot, or you could just use Paper API and not worry about spigot support. Other than that we’ll need more specifics as to what you’re trying to do (I’m not the best to help but this will narrow it down for others)
is it harder to make a spigot supported plugin then just a paper compatible plugin or what is the difference
and what is kotlin?
I think i just want my plugins to be compatible with purpur so paper. Then i dont have to worry about spigot support right?
a spigot plugin will 99.999% of the time work fine on paper
but if you use even a single thing from paper api it wont work on spigot
so its a tradeoff of support for spigot vs having access to paper api additions
afaik paper api has some cool modern implementations that you would need depending on what you're trying to do
kotlin is just another programming language
should i start with kotlin or java
and since im not really planning on using my plugins on a spigot server im fine with using paper api right?
doesn’t matter which one
and yeah, paper api is fine
spigot is a dead platform
* unless you want to list your plugin on spigotmc
which is not a dead plugin website so
keep that in mind
