## What it is
MCDReforged is a Python-based Minecraft server control framework that runs the server as a subprocess and manages it via stdin/stdout without modifying the server. It provides a hot-reloadable plugin system that dispatches parsed server events to plugins for automation and management tasks.

## Use cases
- control a minecraft server from python
- hot-reload plugins without restarting the server
- automate backups of a minecraft server
- respond to in-game chat events with custom plugins
- manage vanilla minecraft server without mods
- run a twitch chat bot bridged into minecraft

## When to choose
- you want to extend or automate a Minecraft server while keeping it fully vanilla
- you need a plugin system with hot reloading across vanilla, paper, fabric, or bungeecord servers
- you want to script server management tasks like backups, scoreboards, or file handling

## When to avoid
- you need a mod loader that adds content to the game itself
- you want a graphical server hosting panel rather than a plugin framework
- your server stack is not Python-compatible or you need first-class non-Python plugin support
