Minecraft plugin Plan

🔌 About Plan | Player Analytics

Plan is a Minecraft plugin that collects and visualizes server and player activity. It runs a built-in webserver that presents metrics such as online activity, playerbase statistics and historical trends to help administrators monitor server usage.

🎯 Purpose

Plan's core purpose is to provide self-hosted analytics for Minecraft servers: tracking player presence, activity over time, and server-wide metrics through a web dashboard and API. It is intended for server owners and administrators who need visibility into player behaviour and server performance trends.

⚙️ Features

• Built-in web dashboard for viewing player and server statistics.
• Data collection of online activity and playerbase metrics with historical views.
• One JAR that supports multiple server platforms (single distribution for supported platforms).
• API and Javadocs available for integrations and extensions.
• Storage/backends mentioned include MySQL and SQLite support (used for data storage).
• Official releases and developer (DEV) build artifacts are published and maintained.

🧩 Who It Is For

• Server owners and administrators who want a self-hosted analytics solution.
• Small to large servers that need historical player activity tracking and web-based reporting.
• Operators who want an API or integration points to export or process analytics data.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• Inspect daily and monthly player online trends to evaluate server activity.
• Look up individual player activity history (playtime and session patterns) via the dashboard.
• Integrate Plan's API or Javadocs into external tools to automate reports.

⚙️ Installation

📥 Setup

• Download the official plugin JAR for your platform and place it into the server plugins/ directory.
• Restart the server and check server console/logs to confirm Plan loaded correctly and started its webserver.
• Access the web dashboard on the configured host/port (configured in Plan's settings after first start).

📦 Dependencies

• No mandatory external plugin dependencies are required by default. (Specific optional integrations or adapters are listed in the project's documentation.)

🧠 Technical Notes

• Official sources state Plan supports multiple server platforms (including Spigot and Paper, Fabric, Sponge, BungeeCord, Velocity and Folia) via a single distribution approach.
• The project provides API documentation and Javadocs for integration.
• Licensed under the LGPL-3.0 family of licenses.
• Releases are published regularly; developer builds are available for testing and CI artifacts.

🤝 When This Plugin Is Useful

If you need a self-hosted, web-accessible overview of player activity and server metrics with an available API for integrations, Plan provides a cross-platform analytics solution suitable for administrators and technical users.
