What we build, and what each of these means

Seven categories, four things in them. We would rather show the empty shelves than pretend the catalogue is fuller than it is — if a category below says there is nothing in it, there is genuinely nothing in it yet, and the heading is there so you can see what we intend to put there.

Mods

Server-side additions that need a mod loader. This is where NexusCore Mod lives — an admin and utility mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 on Java 21, built separately for NeoForge, Fabric and Forge because those jars are not interchangeable. It runs on the server; players connect with an unmodified vanilla client and install nothing. That constraint is deliberate, and it is the reason most of what we write ends up here rather than in the categories below.

Plugins

The same idea for servers that do not run a mod loader at all — Paper, Spigot and the rest of the Bukkit family, which is still most of the servers people actually rent. NexusCore Plugin is planned rather than started: the intent is that an admin moving between a modded and a plugin server should not have to learn a second set of commands. There is no download, and there will not be one until there is something worth downloading.

Modpacks

Curated collections that are configured to work together, rather than a list of mods you are left to reconcile yourself. Ninth Foundry is in progress. A modpack is mostly the unglamorous work of making other people’s mods agree with each other, which is slow and does not photograph well, so this one has been in progress for a while.

Maps

Worlds built to be played rather than looked at. Mineville City is in progress — a city map, which is the kind of build that is either finished or obviously unfinished with very little in between.

Datapacks

Vanilla-only changes: recipes, loot tables, advancements, functions. Nothing here yet. Datapacks are the right tool when a change does not justify asking a server owner to install a mod, so anything small enough to belong here would probably ship here rather than get bolted onto NexusCore.

Resource packs

Textures, models and sound. Nothing here yet, and honestly this is the category furthest from what the studio is good at — we write server-side tools, and a resource pack is an art project. If one appears it will be because something we built needed it.

Tools

Things that are not Minecraft content at all: scripts, generators and utilities that help run a server or build for one. Nothing published yet. Some of the tooling behind these releases — the build and verification scripts — may end up here once it is useful to somebody who is not us.
