Gimme my Plugins, now!
Plow is a package manager for your Minecraft server plugins.
Inspired by the Installer plugin.
I like to learn new languages by writing tools I actually use... In somewhat less sugar-coated words, I'm completely new to Zig and my code is probably garbage. If you still feel like contributing, well, thanks. :)
The project is nowhere near complete, but ideally, this is how it'd work:
plow i plugin@pluginver!mcver$ plow search minigame
