## Description<\/p>\n
This is an essential plugin suite for Spigot\/Paper\/Folia\/Mohist servers,
\nincluding more than 90 modules that provides countless features for servers of any scale!
\nThis plugin also includes several performance enhancements and fixes.
\nFrom management to display,game features to security,
\nthese contents will improve your server from every aspect.<\/p>\n
### Possible Usages<\/p>\n
– create a SMP server.
\n– create a CMP server with WorldEdit and CoreProtect.
\n– create a Lobby server with Citizens and sign-in plugins.<\/p>\n
All the features are independently and composable.
\nyou can customize its function by enable or disable modules,
\nadd or remove extension packs,
\nor even make your own pack through sdk pack.<\/p>\n
### Goal and reason of this<\/p>\n
We are not likely to focus on those massive contents or doing things to extreme on single function.
\nWhat we are doing is to create a liquid that fills the unmodified details on the server.
\nSo please do not expect we will do something as a mod\u2014\u2014at least not in primary packages.
\nStarlight only provide a basic and usable implementation, so if you find dedicated plugin to replace part of function
\nprovided, just use them without doubts\u2014\u2014They are 100% better.<\/p>\n
### Core Features<\/p>\n
– MultiPlatform support: supports basically every Bukkit-Implemented Server(see below)
\n– Fast: initialize on less than 600ms, support command-line hot reload.
\n– Modularized: all features are separately toggleable.<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
### 1. Download the bundler pack from page.<\/p>\n
### 2. install them.<\/p>\n
– Stop server or type `\/starlight reload prepare`
\n– Throw them into your jar.<\/p>\n
### 3. reload.<\/p>\n
– Start your server or type `\/starlight reload action`
\n– Wait.<\/p>\n
### 4. Stuck on library download?<\/p>\n
For better performance and smaller jars, starlight will use OTA mode
\nto download all libraries needed.<\/p>\n
You can change maven mirror if you got stuck on library loading in config.yml:<\/p>\n
“`yaml
\nconfig:
\n #…
\n dependency:
\n maven-repo: ALICLOUD
\n # accept any maven repo URLS, or:
\n # – ‘ALICLOUD’ (AliCloud maven central)
\n # – ‘HUAWEI’ (Huawei maven repo)
\n # – ‘TENCENT’ (TencentCloud maven repo)
\n # – ‘TSINGHUA’ (Tsinghua University maven repository)
\n # – ‘CENTRAL’ (Maven Central repo, Capable for non-China users.)
\n“`<\/p>\n
## Contents<\/p>\n
> **Basic concepts**
\n> – Module: The minimum unit of functions this artifact provides.
\n> – Package: The smallest group of modules, share value configurations and i18n files.
\n > A package or module can be enabled or disable by commands.
\n > A jar will contain multiple modules.<\/p>\n

What can I say? see **Installation** section \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n ### Why it is renamed?<\/p>\n This project is originally name `quark-plugin`. To avoid being collided with that mod\u2014\u2014which everybody loves it, I But the reason is not only for this. This project actully starts from long long long long ago, from a small plugin. The So now, when this plugin is getting more appreciation, start off from the blank and refactor the WHOLE archtecture to ### What will happen since this project is a continuation?<\/p>\n Unfortunately, to wholly frick the architecture away, I HAVE to sacrifice A lot, especially, compatibility. As soon as the refactor done, the auto-migaration code will be added, to allow you to upgrade **Player Data and module ### Help us test<\/p>\n Alpha stage goes with inconsistentcy, so it’s now for you to offer help. Please submit any bugs or feature requests to ### Working with quark-plugin<\/p>\n The new starlight kernal now register things in a different namespace, but feature conflicts still exists. You have to ### Upgrading and migration<\/p>\n Unfortunately, since most of ids and values are changed, it’s not possible to move or migrate legacy language or config After core version 25.3.10, we provide data migration. You could use command:<\/p>\n “` to migrate data u would like to in legacy quark-plugin.<\/p>\n Currently, we support waypoint data, music files and mute data. For any other request, leave it in issue.<\/p>\n ### Why I can’t disable some module?<\/p>\n Some modules(mostly in `starlight-core`) provides basic features or relied by other systems. ### Why I can’t see some of the features after downloading this?<\/p>\n There are two possibilities.<\/p>\n #### 1. Some features are not automatically enabled.<\/p>\n This is manually defined, since we won’t expect them to load after we install the WHOLE bundler. #### 2. Some features require certain platform.<\/p>\n Bukkit-based server has multiple branches, and most of them are technically different. #### Starlight -\u300c\u661f\u8fb0\u300d<\/p>\n A open project by GrassBlock2022, owning by @ATCraftMC 2020-2024\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A plugin containing everything you need \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":148196,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"starlight-plugin","_minecraft_project_id":"lqGAjgaL","_minecraft_author":"GrassBlock2022","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":715,"_minecraft_follows":4,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"starlight-plugin.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":47907561,"_minecraft_version_count":19,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T09:35:55.148169Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-10-01T03:56:24.043013Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-05-10T13:10:02.921892Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/starlight-plugin","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":148196,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-08T21:34:40+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"f2f3543fb4b964fc1a79d4aa18eaaad8","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[124,125,89,873,126,127,128,867,129,91,92,985],"mod_loader":[130,131,132,133,134,986],"minecraft_version":[438,50,53,36,37,41,38],"class_list":["post-148195","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-bukkit","mod_category-folia","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-library","mod_category-management","mod_category-paper","mod_category-purpur","mod_category-social","mod_category-spigot","mod_category-storage","mod_category-utility","mod_category-velocity","mod_loader-bukkit","mod_loader-folia","mod_loader-paper","mod_loader-purpur","mod_loader-spigot","mod_loader-velocity","minecraft_version-1-13","minecraft_version-1-17-1","minecraft_version-1-18-2","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-4"],"yoast_head":"\n

\nStarlight mod has a totally different function from this artifact.It rewrites light engine and simply provide optimizes.<\/p>\n
\ndecide to change its name.<\/p>\n
\nmost bad thing is that when I started this project, I actually have **NO**
\nunderstandings to java.<\/p>\n
\nensure extandability is important.<\/p>\n
\nfrom the following version, This project will enter alpha stages.The plugin will use a completely different namespace
\nand ID.<\/p>\n
\ndata** from old plugin data folder, and the new starlight plugin can work with the old one together.<\/p>\n
\ngithub link above, thank you sooooo much.<\/p>\n
\nmanually disable modules that has duplicated feature with starlight in your older plugin.<\/p>\n
\nfile, so please re-configure them once it’s ready.<\/p>\n
\n\/starlight upgrade-data [category]
\n“`<\/p>\n
\nEnable them will not cost any resources.<\/p>\n
\nFor example, the log color patching module work fine on some server, but crash on others.
\nIt’s hard to say why since it works like injecting, and there is no evidence points to platform api issue.
\nTo resolve this, after you KNOW what will happen, filter the correct module ID and enable it manually.<\/p>\n
\nFor example, Folia based server does NOT have scoreboard API(currently),
\nand a MIXED server(combine forge\/fabric with bukkit) has a horrible(not bad) class loading design.
\nWe just can’t expect some features to work when our platform is missing needed API.<\/p>\n
