Installation & Dependencies

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
Java	21+
Server	Paper / Spigot 1.20+
Folia	Fully supported

Installation

Place the downloaded Craftorithm-xx.jar into your plugins folder, then restart the server.

Installation Recommendations

To experience all features, it is recommended to use Paper server or its forks, and install either packetevents or ProtocolLib. Without a packet management plugin, the virtual recipe preview feature will not be available.

Migration from Old Version

The plugin has built-in conversion from old recipe formats that runs automatically on startup. However, for language files, it is recommended to delete the old lang folder and let it regenerate.

Plugin	Feature
Vault	Economy system (money condition function, take_money/give_money actions)
PlayerPoints	Points system (points condition function, take_points/give_points actions)
PlaceholderAPI	Variable parsing (papi condition function)
