## What it is
Skript is a Paper plugin that lets Minecraft server admins customize their servers using an English-like scripting language instead of writing Java plugins. It provides a high-level DSL for commands, events, conditions, effects, and variables on Bukkit/Paper servers.

## Use cases
- create custom Minecraft server commands without writing Java
- automate server tasks like sethome and teleport systems
- customize gameplay with event-driven scripts
- prototype plugin features quickly for a Minecraft server
- add permissions, cooldowns, and broadcasts to server commands

## When to choose
- you run a Paper server and want custom behavior without Java development
- you want simple server customizations faster than writing a Bukkit plugin
- you want an English-like scripting language with extensive documentation

## When to avoid
- your server runs Spigot instead of Paper
- you need performance-critical or deeply integrated plugin features
- you rely on add-ons, which are not supported by the SkriptLang project
