About Us

One team. One ecosystem.
Zero unnecessary paywalls.

Crafters Development is an independent plugin studio founded and maintained by xUnknowns, focused on building the server-side infrastructure that Minecraft communities actually need — without locking essential features behind premium tiers.

"We believe that staff management, player punishments, authentication, and anticheat are fundamental requirements for any serious server, not luxury add-ons. Every plugin we ship is free to download and free to use, with no artificial feature walls."

Each plugin in the Crafters Development ecosystem is designed to work independently or as part of a larger network. Whether you're running a small survival server or a large multi-server Velocity/BungeeCord network, the plugins adapt to your infrastructure through YAML configuration, not code changes.

Our development approach prioritizes clean architecture, minimal external dependencies, non-destructive config upgrades, and long-term maintainability so your server configuration survives version updates without breaking.

  • Free to download on SpigotMC, Modrinth, and Bukkit/CurseForge
  • Full source compatibility with Spigot, Paper, Purpur and forks
  • Network support via Velocity, BungeeCord, and Waterfall
  • MySQL or embedded H2 database — your choice
  • Non-destructive config merge system — updates never wipe your settings
  • Actively maintained with regular updates and Discord support
  • Comprehensive documentation for every plugin

Core Values

Why Crafters Development exists

These principles guide every decision we make — from API design to plugin naming conventions.

01

Free by Default

Essential server tools should not require a purchase to unlock. Every feature we build ships in the free version — no split editions, no premium upgrades, no feature gating. The plugin you download is the complete plugin.

02

Lean Architecture

Fewer dependencies mean fewer failure points. Each plugin is built to carry its own weight without pulling in a chain of third-party libraries. Soft dependencies are optional — your server boots and runs regardless.

03

Production-Grade Quality

We target real servers operating at real scale. Commands are consistent, permissions are granular, error messages are actionable, and the YAML structure is predictable so your ops team knows what to expect without reading source code.

04

Admin-First Control

Every behavior is configurable. Permissions are individually addressable. No plugin makes assumptions about your server's structure. You define the rules; the plugin enforces them.

05

Long-Term Maintainability

Updates ship without breaking your existing config. The non-destructive merge system adds new keys automatically while preserving every value you've customized — so upgrading is safe and painless.

06

Community-Driven

Bug reports, feature requests, and translation contributions from the community directly shape our roadmap. If you run a server, your operational experience is more valuable to us than any internal testing environment.

Plugin Ecosystem

Everything your server needs, in one suite

Four focused plugins designed to cover every critical operational area of a Minecraft server — from moderation workflows to account security. Each plugin works standalone or together as a unified ecosystem.

Live — Latest Release

CraftersStaff

The all-in-one staff management and moderation suite for Spigot and Paper servers. CraftersStaff unifies your entire moderation workflow into a single, cohesive system — from the moment a staff member toggles into work mode to the moment they file a player note. Built with deep network awareness for Velocity and BungeeCord environments.

Spigot / Paper Velocity BungeeCord MySQL / H2 PlaceholderAPI 1.16 – 1.21.x
Wiki Modrinth SpigotMC Bukkit
  • Staff Mode — Dedicated moderation mode with inventory save/restore, flight toggle, and vanish integration. State persists across server restarts and reconnects.
  • Vanish System — Full invisibility including tab-list removal. Staff can investigate players while remaining completely hidden.
  • Freeze & FreezerChat — Lock suspicious players in place and open a private staff-to-player chat channel for calm, focused investigations.
  • Notes System — Attach structured investigation notes to players. Notes support statuses (PENDING, IN_PROGRESS), attention flags, and admin-level overrides.
  • Reports Manager — Players submit reports via command. Staff review, filter, inspect, and act on them through a dedicated GUI with built-in freeze and teleport actions.
  • Developer API — Java API with static methods and custom events to integrate CraftersStaff with your own plugins. Fully documented.
  • Network Broadcast — Staff chat, freeze alerts, mining alerts and TPS warnings propagate across all servers through the proxy messaging channel.
  • PlaceholderAPI — Official cstaff expansion with per-server and network-wide staff counters, mode status, and vanish state.
  • 10+ Languages — Ships with EN, ES, PT, DE, FR, RU, NL, IT and more. Language files use non-destructive merging to protect custom translations on updates.

CraftersBan

A complete, production-ready punishment management system for servers that enforce consistent moderation standards. CraftersBan handles every type of sanction your team needs — from temporary mutes to permanent IP bans — with a consistent command interface, full history tracking, and Discord webhook integration.

  • Ban, tempban, mute, tempmute, warn, kick, IP ban and IP mute with unified syntax
  • Silent punishment mode (-s flag) — visible to staff only
  • Full punishment history with paginated lookup per player
  • Alt/account lookup through IP history records
  • Lockdown mode to restrict server access during incidents
  • Discord webhook integration for real-time punishment alerts
  • GeoIP country lookup for incoming connections

CraftersLogin

A hybrid authentication plugin for servers running in offline (cracked) mode, or mixed premium/offline environments. CraftersLogin protects player accounts, prevents identity spoofing, and enforces configurable security policies without compromising the player experience.

  • Automatic premium (Mojang) login — no password needed for verified accounts
  • BCrypt, SHA-256, and Argon2 password hashing — configurable rounds
  • Anti brute-force with configurable temp-ban after failed attempts
  • IP-based session reuse and account-per-IP limits
  • Case spoofing prevention to block username impersonation
  • Velocity proxy support with persistent cross-server sessions
  • Redis support for high-traffic network synchronization

In Development

CraftersAnticheat

The upcoming anticheat component of the Crafters Development ecosystem. CraftersAnticheat is designed from the ground up to minimize false positives while maintaining low server overhead — two goals that are rarely achieved together in existing solutions.

  • Lightweight detection architecture with minimal TPS impact
  • Native CraftersStaff integration — alerts route directly to staff mode UI
  • Configurable sensitivity per check type
  • Violation log and Discord webhook support
  • Designed to scale from small survival servers to large PvP networks

Our Approach

Built different, on purpose

Most Minecraft plugin marketplaces are filled with plugins that charge for features that should be standard — permission-locked commands, premium-only database backends, or "pro" versions that unlock basic functionality. Crafters Development takes a different stance.

We ship everything. Every command, every configuration option, every storage backend, and every API endpoint is available in the base download. The only thing we ask in return is that you consider donating if our work saves you time or money — never a requirement, always appreciated.

Our code is written with operational teams in mind. Commands follow consistent patterns. Permission nodes are predictable. YAML files are well-commented. Error messages tell you what actually went wrong. These are small things, but they add up to a significantly better experience for whoever manages your server.

Design Principles

Single Source of Truth

Each functional area (staff, punishments, auth) is handled by one plugin — no split functionality, no overlap, no confusion about which plugin does what.

Configuration Over Code

Behavior is controlled entirely through YAML. You should never need to touch a line of Java to customize how the plugins work on your server.

Fail Gracefully

If a soft dependency is missing or a database connection drops, plugins degrade gracefully rather than crashing the server or silently breaking functionality.

Safe by Default

Default configurations are designed to be secure and functional out of the box. You opt into more permissive behavior, not the other way around.

Transparent Roadmap

Development updates, release notes, and upcoming features are communicated through our Discord server and plugin changelogs — no surprises.
