MarriagePlus: The Ultimate Minecraft Marriage Plugin for Servers
If you run a Minecraft server and want to add a layer of social interaction, roleplay, and community bonding, MarriagePlus is the plugin you need. This lightweight, user-friendly tool allows players to propose, marry, divorce, and even share a virtual kiss with their in-game partners. Whether you are building a family-friendly survival world or a bustling roleplay hub, MarriagePlus gives your community a charming way to formalize relationships.
What Makes MarriagePlus Stand Out?
MarriagePlus was originally created for SammyT291 and has evolved into a fully configurable plugin with a clean permission system. Unlike many other marriage plugins, it focuses on simplicity while offering the flexibility to allow multiple spouses through permissions. The developer plans to turn it into an API, which means server owners will eventually be able to hook into marriage statuses for custom mechanics like shared homes, joint economies, or exclusive couple-only areas.
Core Features
- Proposal and Acceptance: Players can send a marriage proposal to another player. The recipient can accept or decline, and once accepted, the two become officially married. Self-marriage was removed in version 1.4.1 to keep things realistic.
- Divorce: Relationships do not always last, and MarriagePlus handles that gracefully. Players can divorce their spouse at any time, even if the other player is offline — a fix introduced in version 1.4.5.
- Kiss Command: Married couples can use
/kiss (Spouse)to display a romantic message in chat, adding a touch of affection to daily gameplay. - Multiple Spouses via Permissions: By default, a player can have one spouse, but server admins can grant special permissions to allow two, five, or unlimited wives. This is perfect for servers that want to support polygamous roleplay scenarios.
- Cooldown System: To prevent spam, a configurable cooldown can be applied to marriage-related actions. Setting
MarryM.CoolDownTimeto -1 disables cooldowns entirely. - Debug Mode: Server owners can enable debug messages to troubleshoot any issues that arise.
Commands and How to Use Them
All marriage interactions are handled through the /marry command and its subcommands. Here is a quick reference:
/marry— Lists all available subcommands./marry propose (player)— Sends a marriage proposal to the specified player./marry accept— Accepts an incoming proposal./marry divorce— Ends your current marriage./marry who— Displays your own marriage status and spouse information./kiss (Spouse)— Sends a kiss message to your spouse.
The plugin includes safeguards against incorrect command usage, so players get helpful feedback if they type something wrong. Color codes were fixed in recent updates, ensuring chat messages appear vibrant and readable.
Permission Nodes
Server admins have full control over who can marry and how many spouses they can have. The permission nodes are straightforward:
Marry.canMarry— Allows a player to marry someone.Marry.canHaveTwo— Grants the ability to have up to two wives.Marry.canHaveFive— Increases the spouse limit to five.Marry.canHaveUnlimited— Removes the spouse cap entirely.
These permissions make it easy to tailor the marriage system to your server’s theme, whether it is a strict monogamous world or a fantasy realm where polygamy is the norm.
Installation and Setup
Getting MarriagePlus running on your server is incredibly simple. Since it has no dependencies, you do not need to worry about installing extra libraries or other plugins. Just follow these steps:
- Download the MarriagePlus JAR file from its official Spigot or Bukkit page.
- Place the JAR into your server’s
pluginsfolder. - Restart your server or run a reload command.
- Configure the
config.ymlfile if you want to adjust cooldowns or enable debug messages.
While MarriagePlus handles the social side of things on the server, players who want to expand their single-player experience with marriage-themed mods can easily install them via the foxygame.net launcher — a convenient, flexible, and modern Minecraft launcher where you can download mods right from the menu. This makes it effortless to test out relationship mods before suggesting them to your favorite server admins.

Compatibility
