Getting started
Introduction
What Modloom builds, who it is for, and what it does not do.
Modloom is an AI agent that writes, compiles and packages Minecraft server plugins from a plain-language brief. You describe what your server needs, the agent works on real project files, and you download a finished .jar for Paper, Purpur or Spigot.
What you get#
Every project is a normal Maven project, not a black box.
- Real source code. Java files, a
plugin.ymland apom.xmlyou can read, edit and keep. - A compiled plugin. The agent builds the project in an isolated sandbox and hands you
plugin.jar. - A visible history. The thread shows every step the agent took, and each run lists exactly which files changed.
Who it is for#
- Server owners who know what they want their server to do but do not write Java.
- Plugin developers who want a working first draft to refine by hand.
- Teams on a deadline who would rather review a diff than start from an empty folder.
How a plugin gets made#
- You write a brief: commands, abilities, events, settings.
- The agent plans, writes the project files and compiles them.
- You review the changes and the build log, then download the jar.
- You ask for changes, or edit the code yourself, and build again.
What Modloom is not#
Modloom is deliberately narrow, and it is better to know the edges up front.
- It does not host servers. You run the plugin on your own server.
- It does not run your plugin in Minecraft yet. A passing build means the code compiles. See Known limitations.
- It is Minecraft only. Other games and mod loaders such as Forge and Fabric are not supported.
- It builds with Maven. Projects are Maven projects.
Note
A successful build is not proof the plugin behaves exactly as you pictured. Try it on a test server, then ask Modloom to adjust anything that is off.
