Minecraft plugin Multiverse-Core

🔌 About Multiverse-Core

Multiverse-Core is a Minecraft plugin for server world management. It provides core functionality to create, load, and manage multiple worlds within a single server instance and integrates with several Multiverse sub-modules to extend behavior.

🎯 Purpose

Multiverse-Core's purpose is to let server administrators run more than one world on the same server process while keeping world-specific settings and behavior separate. It addresses the need for separate game modes, spawn locations, and world-specific rules without requiring multiple server instances.

⚙️ Features

• World creation and loading at runtime (create, load, unload worlds).
• Per-world properties and configuration (world-specific settings and behavior via the plugin's world properties system).
• Teleportation and destination management between worlds.
• Extensible with Multiverse sub-modules (examples: Inventories, Portals, NetherPortals, SignPortals) to add per-world inventories, custom portals, and related features.
• Developer API and documentation for integration with other plugins.

🧩 Who It Is For

• Server owners and administrators who need multiple distinct worlds (SMP, minigame hubs, creative plots).
• Moderation-heavy or administration-focused setups that require separate world rules and spawns.
• Developers building integrations that need programmatic world management.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• Run a Survival world and a separate Creative world on the same server with different spawn rules and game modes.
• Create a hub world with portals linking to separate minigame worlds using Multiverse-Portals.
• Keep player inventories separate per world using Multiverse-Inventories.

⚙️ Installation

📥 Setup

• Download the official Multiverse-Core .jar and place it into your server's plugins/ directory for a Bukkit/Spigot-compatible server.
• Restart the server and check console logs to confirm the plugin loaded successfully.

📦 Dependencies

• No required external dependencies are listed here. Multiverse has optional sub-modules (Inventories, Portals, NetherPortals, SignPortals) that provide additional features when installed alongside Core.

🧠 Technical Notes

• Multiverse-Core is distributed under the BSD-3-Clause license.
• The project provides official documentation and a wiki describing configuration, commands, and permissions, plus a public source repository and issue tracker for bug reports and contributions.
• The plugin is designed for Bukkit/Spigot-compatible server implementations and is commonly used with the Multiverse sub-modules to extend functionality.

🤝 When This Plugin Is Useful

If you need to host multiple distinct worlds on a single server process with separate settings, spawns, and behaviors, Multiverse-Core centralizes world creation and management and integrates with additional modules to handle inventories, portals, and per-world features.
