Minecraft Plugin Updater

A Dockerized Python script that automatically checks for and downloads updates for Minecraft plugins from GitHub, Modrinth, and Spigot.

Features

• Supports GitHub, Modrinth, and Spigot (via Spiget).
• Automatically deletes old versions upon update.
• Configurable check interval.
• Maintains state to track installed versions.

Usage

1. Create a data directory: Create a folder on your host machine (e.g., updater-data).

2. Create configuration: Copy config.example.yaml to your data directory, rename it to config.yaml, and edit it with your plugins.

   check_interval: 3600
   plugins:
     - name: "MyPlugin"
       source: "github"
       repo: "user/repo"

3. Run with Docker:

   docker run -d \
     --name plugin-updater \
     -v /path/to/updater-data:/data \
     minecraft-plugin-updater

   Plugins will be downloaded to /path/to/updater-data/plugins.
