## What it is
ScriptCraft is a Minecraft server plugin that lets operators and plugin authors write Minecraft mods in JavaScript using the SpigotMC or CanaryMod APIs. It includes an in-game JavaScript prompt and a Drone API for building structures programmatically, and was created to help young programmers learn to code.

## Use cases
- write minecraft plugins in javascript
- teach kids programming through minecraft modding
- build structures in minecraft with scripts
- run javascript commands in-game on a minecraft server
- customize a spigot server without writing java
- create custom minecraft mods as a beginner

## When to choose
- you want to mod a Spigot/CanaryMod Minecraft server using JavaScript instead of Java
- you're teaching programming to beginners via Minecraft
- you want an in-game scripting REPL for server administration

## When to avoid
- you need support for modern Minecraft versions or actively maintained tooling (last release 2021)
- you want to write client-side mods or Forge/Fabric mods
- you prefer writing plugins in Java or another JVM language
