This is a package manager for minecraft Spigot servers and its forks (e.g. PaperMC).
This is a standalone program written in python.
The program works with a locally installed server or with a remote host through SFTP/FTP, when configured in the config.
It uses the Spiget API to download and compare plugin versions and can download the latest version of plugins from the Spigot site.
It can also compare and download the latest update of specific server software (e.g. PaperMC).
Plugin management was the hard part of managing a minecraft server. The time it took to check the Spigot resource page for updates for the installed plugins and updating all plugins manually which have available updates was too long and daunting.
So I built pluGET to automate and ease the plugin handling of a minecraft server and to turn the most time consuming part of managing a minecraft server to an easy one.
This program is suited for minecraft server owners who want to save time and stay on top of their plugin versions.
The program input and the associated config file are pretty simple so every server owner and not only the most tech savy ones can use pluGET to ease their plugin handling.
Follow the Installation guide below for an easy and hassle free setup of pluGET.
Read Usage below to get some example inputs when using pluGET.
If you still have questions here is the best place to ask for support.
So what can it do exactly?
pluGET can:
- work locally or through SFTP/FTP
- run directly from the console with command line arguments
- manage plugins:
- download the latest version of a plugin
- update every installed/one specific plugin
- check for an update of every installed/one specific plugin
- manage server software:
There are more features in the work. Check Projects for a complete list.
So why do it manually when you can use pluGET to automate it? 🚀

For example:
EssentialsX is a prominent example of inconsisten version naming. The installed version is 2.18.2.0 but on Spigot the version is only described as 2.18.2.
That's the reason pluGET can't detect it automatically.
There are of course many more plugins which have some sort of inconsistency which makes it sadly impossible for pluGET to detect them all. EssentialsX is used only as an example.
Download the plugins with the get [pluginName] command to make them detectable for pluGET.
After downloading EssentialsX with get EssentialsX and using check all:
EssentialsX is now detected from pluGET and can update automatically when a new version comes out.
For example:
As you can see the installed version was found but not the latest version for this plugin.
This is because this is a plugin which is not available on Spigot.
pluGET supports currently only plugins from Spigot.
In this example this is a bukkit plugin.
