MC Plugin Finder
What it is
MC Plugin Finder is a free, open-source web search tool for Minecraft server plugins listed on Spigot, Modrinth, and Hangar. Server administrators can search a plugin database using Name, Description, and Author fields, then filter and sort results. When listings share a source-code repository URL, the service can associate them so users can compare versions of the same plugin across repositories. Matching recognizes GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Codeberg URLs, but requires a listed source URL. Plugin information comes from the Spiget API for Spigot and from the Modrinth and Hangar APIs; the database is refreshed daily. The project describes its use as helping admins find plugins and check recent updates and Minecraft version support. Hosted infrastructure caches Modrinth and Hangar project icons with imageproxy, while Spigot icon information comes from Spiget and is stored in the database. The project is provided under the GNU Affero General Public License 3.0. It states that it is not an official Minecraft service and is not approved or associated with Mojang, Microsoft, SpigotMC, Modrinth, or PaperMC.
