SkBee
This one lives in the engine room, not in your hands — you never interact with it directly, but a lot of the little touches on the server run thanks to it. SkBee is an add-on for Skript, the language we use to write our own server logic. On its own it does nothing; instead it hands Skript a whole pile of new abilities: reading and writing NBT data on items, blocks and entities, item displays and holograms, custom recipes, smart flicker-free scoreboards, boss bars, dialogs, marked-out regions (bounds), structure handling and even custom world creation. Whenever you bump into something vanilla can't do that isn't one of the standalone plugins in this list, there's a fair chance it's a SkBee-backed script holding it together under the hood. On our server we keep almost the entire element set enabled; only the semi-experimental virtual furnaces are left off.
How to use
- 1You don't work with SkBee as a player — it runs in the background and has no commands for you.
- 2Its abilities reach you indirectly: through our own server scripts and the other things it makes possible.
It's a library, not a feature in itself — without the scripts that use it you'd never know it's there. But remove it and everything built on top of it stops working, so it stays put.
