# LuaCord<\/p>\n
LuaCord is a modern plugin framework that lets you create Minecraft plugins using Lua scripting with full Spigot API access. Now with JAR support for easy distribution!<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
* Full Spigot API – Access to commands, events, permissions, and more
\n* JAR Support – Package plugins as .jar files for CurseForge\/Modrinth
\n* Web JAR Generator – Convert .lkt to .jar at luacordmc.github.io\/generator.html
\n* Paper Compatible – Works flawlessly on modern Paper servers
\n* Easy to Learn – Lua is much simpler than Java
\n* Hot Reload – Test changes instantly in dev mode
\n* Backwards Compatible – All Lukkit plugins work without changes<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
1. Download LuaCord and place in `\/plugins\/`
\n2. Add your `.lkt` or `.jar` plugins to `\/plugins\/`
\n3. Restart your server<\/p>\n
## Creating Plugins<\/p>\n
Plugins can be:
\n* `.lkt` files (ZIP archives) – for development
\n* `.jar` files (JAR wrappers) – for distribution on CurseForge\/Modrinth
\n* Folders – for quick testing<\/p>\n
Each plugin contains:
\n* `main.lua` – Your plugin code
\n* `plugin.yml` – Plugin metadata
\n* `config.yml` – Optional configuration<\/p>\n
### Example plugin:<\/p>\n
“`lua
\nplugin:onEnable(function()
\n logger:info(“Plugin enabled!”)
\nend)<\/p>\n
plugin:addCommand({
\n name = “heal”,
\n description = “Heal yourself”
\n}, function(event)
\n local player = event:getSender()
\n player:setHealth(20)
\n player:sendMessage(“Healed!”)
\nend)<\/p>\n
plugin:registerEvent(“PlayerJoinEvent”, function(event)
\n local player = event:getPlayer()
\n player:sendMessage(“Welcome!”)
\nend)
\n“`<\/p>\n
### plugin.yml:<\/p>\n
“`yaml
\nname: MyPlugin
\nversion: 1.0
\nmain: main.lua
\nauthor: YourName
\ndescription: My awesome plugin
\n“`<\/p>\n
## JAR Distribution<\/p>\n
Want to share your plugin on CurseForge or Modrinth?<\/p>\n
1. Create your `.lkt` plugin
\n2. Go to https:\/\/luacordmc.github.io\/generator.html
\n3. Upload your `.lkt` and fill in metadata
\n4. Download the generated `.jar`
\n5. Upload to CurseForge\/Modrinth!<\/p>\n
The JAR generator runs entirely in your browser – your files never leave your computer.<\/p>\n
