Mineserver uses a C-plugin API which is described in this page.

Creating a plugin

You will need to include plugin_api.h to your project.

...write some more stuff here...

Example plugin structure:

 #include "plugin_api.h"
 #define PLUGIN_VERSION 1.0
 std::string dtos( double n )
 {
   std::ostringstream result;
   result << n;
   return result.str();
 }
 mineserver_pointer_struct* mineserver;
 std::string pluginName = "command";
 PLUGIN_API_EXPORT void (plugin_name)_init(mineserver_pointer_struct* mineserver_temp)
 {
   mineserver = mineserver_temp;
   if (mineserver->plugin.getPluginVersion(pluginName.c_str()) > 0)
   {
     std::string msg="command is already loaded v." +dtos(mineserver->plugin.getPluginVersion(pluginName.c_str()));
     mineserver->screen.log(msg.c_str(),msg.size());
     return;
   }
   std::string msg="Loaded "+pluginName+"!";
   mineserver->screen.log(msg.c_str());
   mineserver->plugin.setPluginVersion(pluginName.c_str(), PLUGIN_COMMAND_VERSION);
   mineserver->callback.add_hook("ChatPre", (void *)SOMEFUNCTIONNAME);
   mineserver->callback.add_hook("BlockPlacePre", (void *)SOMEFUNCTIONNAME2);
 }
 PLUGIN_API_EXPORT void (plugin_name)_shutdown(void)
 {
   if (mineserver->plugin.getPluginVersion(pluginName.c_str()) <= 0)
   {
     mineserver->screen.log("command is not loaded!"));
     return;
   }
 }

Map

Function Parameter name Parameter type Parameter info
createPickupSpawn x int x-coordinate
y int y-coordinate
