Plugin Constructor API FAQ
6 questions players actually ask, answered.
What does Plugin Constructor API actually do?
It provides shared background code that several specific server add-ons rely on to work properly. It reduces memory usage by stopping features from repeating the same code.
How does it help server performance?
It groups specific add-ons so they share resources instead of running separately, keeping the server fast as you add more mechanics.
Does it update itself automatically?
Yes, it checks for new versions and downloads updates automatically by default. You can disable this to take manual control.
How do I turn off automatic updates?
Open the file located at pluginsAUpdaterglobal.yml and change the setting to update: false.
Why do other plugins need this API installed?
It provides a base foundation that helps other server features talk to each other. Without it, those specific add-ons may not function correctly.
Does it share code between add-ons?
Yes, it shares common code across multiple server features to reduce memory usage. This lets grouped add-ons use shared resources rather than each running its own copy.
