WHEW! That was a lot.

My Minecraft server shop directory app is now out in the world!

ichari Shops aims to alleviate the pain of aggregating a server’s shop information. Create a shop, add co-owners, add inventory and pricing, write a slick description and publish. Everyone can see your shops, but only you and your co-owners can edit them. No more spreadsheets or Discord threads or whatever other yellow pages approximation your server uses.

ichari Shops is available for download on GitHub.

There is also a companion Spigot plugin that allows you to search the directory from in game. Download available at SpigotMC.org.

So…..I “learned” Java.

Admittedly, I Googled a lot of code snippets to figure out how to get from point A to point B and then just mashed it all together. But–and don’t tell other programmers that I told you our secret–90% of programming is just cobbling together disparate code blocks from the internet until it does what you want.

Anyways, why did I learn Java? To write Spigot plugins! My first plugin, Wigot, provides search access to the Minecraft Wiki via in-game chat. Just “/wiki <blah blah blah>” the term you want and it spits out links to relevant pages.

It’s built on the Spigot 1.18 API, but should work on 1.19 and beyond unless any major changes occur. You can download the plugin directly on the Downloads page or view the resource page on SpigotMC.
