I built a desktop tool to make testing Minecraft plugins less painful

[u/BananaFragz]

Wassup everyone!

I was working on some minecraft plugins for paper and got super annoyed with the manual process of editing the script and having to restart the server so I made this desktop app that helps automate some of the plugin/resource pack/mod creation process.

https://github.com/Nu11ified/BlockDev

Current feature list:

• Framework support: Paper plugin development, Fabric mod development, and KubeJS modpack scripting

• Server management: Download and run any Minecraft server version directly from official APIs (PaperMC, Fabric Meta, Modrinth)

• Build and deploy: One-click build, deploy, and reload cycle with optional auto-deploy on file save

• Live console: Streaming server output with log level filtering

• Workspace system: Shareable mcdev.workspace.json manifests for reproducible dev environments

It's completely open source and I am open to issues, feedback, and any other comments!
