ParaCraftSDK Introduction

ParacraftSDK is the software development environment for Paracraft. Although Paracraft is mainly for education, NPL/ParacraftSDK allows for serious software development (see also feature list). With ParacraftSDK, one can create plugins(mod) for paracraft, or standalone applications that can be published to PC/Web/Android/iOS for free.

Deploy your software & Rebranding

We suggest you upload your mod in ParacraftPlugins, so that every paracraft users can see and install them directly from the software. However, if you want to redistribute paracraft as a branded and stand-alone software, please read our Free License File and see the Rebranding Guide. Rebranding allows you to change paracraft's login or setup user interface when distributing your software.
