StreamingModule — Twitch Drops & Live Integration for Minecraft
Turn every Twitch stream into a reward for your viewers — and a growth engine for your streamer. StreamingModule connects Twitch and your Minecraft server (Spigot, Paper, Purpur, BungeeCord, Velocity), letting chatters earn real in-game drops just for watching, while streamers get live announcements, Twitch chat in-game, and channel point rewards that trigger actual server commands.
Twitch doesn't support native "Drops" for Minecraft the way it does for other games — StreamingModule closes that gap so your community gets the same hype without needing Twitch's Drops API.
What StreamingModule does
- Twitch Viewer Drops — viewers watching a configured streamer have a chance to receive a reward, executed as any Minecraft command. Give items, money, ranks, crate keys, or anything a plugin can run — the drop itself has no limits.
- Offline Drop Queue — viewers who are watching the stream but aren't online on the server don't miss out. Drops are saved and delivered automatically next time they join.
- Twitch Chat inside Minecraft — each streamer can see their own Twitch chat directly in-game, no alt-tabbing required.
- Twitch Chat Commands — define custom chat commands that respond with live PlaceholderAPI data, right inside Twitch chat.
- Channel Point Rewards — connect Twitch Channel Points to Minecraft commands. Positive or negative effects, your choice.
- Live Announcements — automatic broadcast in-game and via Discord webhook the moment a streamer goes live, with zero manual steps.
- Live Tag via PlaceholderAPI — show who's currently streaming anywhere PlaceholderAPI is supported (tab list, chat, scoreboards, holograms).
- Watch Time Tracking — tracks how long each viewer has watched a streamer since installation, so you can gate rewards or chat commands behind a minimum watch time.
- Multi-Streamer Support — run drops, settings, and chat integration for several streamers at once, each with independent configuration.
- Configurable Drop Chance — fine-tune odds per streamer or globally to match your community size and economy.
- Cross-Platform — works on single Spigot/Paper/Purpur servers as well as BungeeCord and Velocity proxy networks, version-safe across Minecraft releases.
- No OAuth Required — all core features work without you needing to generate or manage a Twitch OAuth token.
Why streamers and server owners use it
Streamers get free promotion every time a viewer wants in-game drops badly enough to check out the server. Server owners get a built-in growth loop — viewers become players, players become community members, and the stream itself becomes a recurring event worth tuning in for.
Requirements
- SMLib (required dependency)
- Java 11+
- Open HTTPS port for outgoing requests
- The StreamingModule Twitch bot account must be set as a moderator in your channel
- Optional: PlaceholderAPI for the live tag feature
If /online throws an HTTP(S) error, your server is likely blocking outgoing connections — check your firewall/port settings.
