The missing plugin manager for Minecraft 🍺
Advanced Packaging Tool
apt-mc 📦
The Advanced Packaging Tool for Minecraft Servers.
> *Stop downloading JARs manually. Start managing plugins like a pro.*
`apt-mc` brings the familiar, powerful experience of the Linux command line (`apt-get`) to your Spigot/Paper server. Search, install, update, and manage your plugins directly from the game chat or console, all powered by the robust Hangar (with optional support for Hangar).
