## What it is
Bukkit is the Minecraft server mod API that defines the plugin interface for extending Minecraft multiplayer servers. It is compiled with Maven and serves as the foundation for server implementations like Spigot and Paper.

## Use cases
- develop minecraft server plugins
- create custom game modes for minecraft
- extend minecraft server functionality
- build a minecraft mod api plugin
- hook into minecraft server events

## When to choose
- you are writing plugins for Bukkit-compatible Minecraft servers
- you need the canonical Minecraft server plugin API

## When to avoid
- you want a ready-to-run server rather than an API
- you target modloaders like Forge or Fabric instead of server plugins

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: sdk, plugin-system
- domain: gaming-tools
- platform: jvm, game-engine
- tags: minecraft-server-api, modding, plugin-api, spigot, minecraft, game-development
