AutoPlug-Client is a standalone, executable Java program that has multiple execution modes: Server-Wrapper, CLI-Tool, Background-Service. Its main purpose is to automate updating of any sofware related to servers and simplify server maintenance in general. While all server types are compatible (including Steam game servers), the majority of its features cater specifically to Minecraft, which is renowned as the world's top-selling game and boasts an exceptionally extensive modding community.

Status

Community driven development, meaning the lead developer will not develop new features and rely on pull requests by others, except for security issues and critical bugs.

Developers:

You can also use AutoPlug in your projects by adding it as a dependency via Maven/Gradle/Sbt/Leinigen. Some useful classes would be the AutoPlugConsole for example, which lets you execute AutoPlug commands programmatically:

AutoPlugConsole.executeCommand(".check plugins");
AutoPlugConsole.executeCommand(".check server");
// etc...
