PlugLoad

⚠️ Important safety notice

Live plugin loading, unloading, and reloading is never guaranteed to be fully safe on Bukkit-based servers. Some plugins keep background tasks, static state, services, hooks, classloader references, database connections, or dependencies that cannot always be cleaned perfectly while the server is running.

PlugLoad includes risk detection, warnings, confirmation prompts, cleanup attempts, and error logging, but the final safety of an action depends on the target plugin. The server administrator takes full responsibility for using this plugin.

✨ Features

• Command-only workflow with /plugload and /pg
• Detects enabled plugins, disabled plugins, and unloaded plugin .jar files
• Lightweight plugin cache refresh
• Dynamic tab completion based on current plugin state
• Load plugins from the server plugins folder
• Unload plugins with careful Bukkit cleanup steps
• Reload plugins through unload + load where possible
• Safety confirmation system for risky actions
• Console logging for important actions
• Error log file at plugins/PlugLoad/logs/errors.log
• MiniMessage formatting when available, with graceful legacy fallback

🧭 Commands

/plugload can be used instead of /pg.

🔐 Permissions

🛡️ Risk Detection

PlugLoad asks for confirmation before actions that appear risky, including cases such as:

• The plugin has dependencies or soft dependencies
• Other plugins depend on the target plugin
• The plugin jar is large
• The plugin looks like a core, API, hook, or library plugin
• The plugin registers many commands, listeners, or scheduled tasks

When a risk is detected, PlugLoad will ask you to run:

/pg yes

within the configured timeout.

✅ Supported Platforms
