Voxel
What it is
Voxel is a Minecraft marketplace for server owners, plugin developers, setup designers, resource-pack artists, builders, and other enthusiasts. Browsing and posting resources are free. Its Developer API can verify purchases, search resources, support secure premium-resource auto-updaters, and connect hosting control panels for downloads and updates. Resource authors can manage beta versions, testers, and recommended, snapshot, and beta branches. Premium JAR files can be obfuscated and fingerprinted per download, with piracy-prevention placeholders and offline verification support. Shops allow colleagues to post or edit resources, respond to reviews, and manage updates. Integrations include Discord webhooks, Stripe, PayPal, Patreon, Google Analytics, and external license servers, depending on seller tier. Seller plans cost $2, paid once, $4, paid once, or $8, paid once from platform income, with different upload limits and bump intervals. Supported server platforms include Spigot, Paper, Velocity, BungeeCord, and Purpur. Resources may be archived after extended periods without qualifying updates or bumps.
