# PatchBukkit A plugin for [PumpkinMC](https://pumpkinmc.org/) that adds support for [PaperMC](https://papermc.io/), [Spigot](https://www.spigotmc.org/), and [Bukkit](https://dev.bukkit.org/) plugins. ## Installation 1. **Requirement**: Install Java 25 or newer. 2. **Download**: Grab the library matching your operating system from the Releases page: 3. **Deploy**: Place the downloaded file into your PumpkinMC `plugins/` directory. (Run PumpkinMC once to generate this folder if it doesn't exist). 4. **Initialize**: Restart PumpkinMC. This creates a new `patchbukkit/` directory in your server root. 5. **Add Plugins**: Drop your .jar plugin files (Paper/Spigot/Bukkit) into the newly created `patchbukkit/patchbukkit-plugins/` folder and restart. ## Development If you wish to contribute to PatchBukkit, follow the following steps: > [!NOTE] > Your PumpkinMC server must be built with the same nightly toolchain as PatchBukkit. 1. Run `./build.sh` 2. Copy the generated native library from `rust/target/debug/` (or `rust/target/release/`) to your PumpkinMC `plugins/` directory. 3. Start Pumpkin once to create the `patchbukkit/` directory in your server root, then place your `.jar` plugins in `patchbukkit/patchbukkit-plugins/`. There is also an [architecture guide](https://github.com/Pumpkin-MC/PatchBukkit/blob/master/ARCHITECTURE.md) available.
