Minecraft plugin Plan

🔌 About the plugin Plan

Plan — is a plugin for Minecraft servers that provides player and server analytics via a built‑in web dashboard and data collection. Plan collects activity data and visualizes player activity, online patterns and server statistics to help server staff understand usage and trends.

🎯 Purpose

Plan addresses the need for a maintained, open analytics solution for Minecraft servers. It solves: tracking player activity over time, visualizing online patterns, and offering a self‑hosted web interface for staff to inspect player behaviour and server metrics. Plan targets server administrators and staff who want historical and live analytics without using third‑party hosted services. ()

⚙ Main features

• Built‑in web dashboard for player and server analytics (visual charts, tables, player timelines). ()
• Multi‑platform support: one jar for Spigot, Paper, BungeeCord, Velocity, Sponge, Fabric derivatives and other supported platforms. ()
• Data storage options (project topics include sqlite and mysql). ()
• Open‑source codebase with releases and public repository. ()

🧩 Who it's for

• Server owners and admins who need player metrics and historical data.
• Moderation teams who want quick access to player session history and activity.
• Networks using proxies (Bungee/Velocity) that need cross‑server analytics. ()

🏗 Usage examples

⚙ Installation

📥 Installation

• Download the Plan .jar from the official release (GitHub Releases / Spigot / CurseForge). ()
• Place the .jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
• Fully restart the server (do not rely on /reload).
• After startup, the plugin creates its data/config folders and starts the built‑in webserver. ()

📦 Dependencies

• No mandatory external dependencies were listed in the main repository overview. Plan is distributed as one jar supporting multiple platforms. If any optional integrations are required (for specific modules), those are documented in the plugin docs. ()

🧾 Configuration

• Plan generates its configuration and data folders on first run and exposes configuration options for storage and webserver behavior. ()
• Storage: repository topics and docs reference both SQLite and MySQL support. Check config for enabling external DB. ()

🧠 Additional information

Known conflicts

• No formal incompatibilities were listed in the main repository overview. Because Plan collects activity and hooks into server events, test on a staging environment if you use many custom event‑modifying plugins. ()

Limitations

• Plan runs an embedded webserver — you may need to open/configure a port or reverse proxy to access the dashboard externally. Confirm network and firewall settings before exposing the dashboard. ()
• Some platform‑specific features depend on supported plugins/modules per the project's documentation. ()
