What is PNode?
PNode is a Paper plugin that lets you create server automation and game logic using a visual, node-based interface right from your server, with no Java knowledge required.
Instead of writing code, you connect nodes on a canvas. Each node represents an action, condition, or data transformation. By wiring them together, you build graphs that execute in response to Minecraft events, timers, or custom commands.
This approach is similar to visual scripting systems like Unreal Engine Blueprints but designed specifically for Minecraft servers.
Example: Creating a graph that makes a specific block drop an extra item.
For advanced users, the Custom Code node allows you to write Groovy scripts and access the full Bukkit/Paper API when needed.
