STEMCraft Wiki

STEMCraft is a Paper plugin with four main layers:

1. Core services exposed through STEMCraftAPI
2. Built-in gameplay features discovered from dev.stemcraft.feature
3. Command surfaces registered by commands, services, features, and minigames
4. Built-in minigames discovered from dev.stemcraft.minigame

Requirements

• Java 25
• Paper for Minecraft 26.3 or newer

The plugin declares Paper API version 26.3 and also checks the Minecraft version before initializing services. On an older server it logs the detected and required versions, disables itself, and performs no data or service initialization.

This wiki mirrors the current source tree and is intended to give server operators and plugin developers a stable index over the runtime surface.
