Author in TS, Node, or Python
Use familiar scripting languages instead of building against Java.
Write Minecraft plugins without touching Java.
Lapis Lazuli is a library for writing Minecraft plugins in TypeScript, Node, or Python, with runtimes that let those plugins run naturally on Paper and Bukkit servers.
Overview
A small idea, kept small.
Ship to the JVM
Drop bundles into a Paper or Bukkit server and let the runtime manage loading.
Iterate quickly
Replace bundle files and rely on hot reload while the server stays online.
Workflow
From source files to a running server.
Create a plugin
Scaffold a project with a manifest and a TypeScript, Node, or Python entrypoint.
Bundle it
Validate the manifest and package the runtime-ready bundle structure.
Load it on the server
Build the runtime plugin, copy the bundle into the Lapis Lazuli bundles directory, and let the server pick it up.
