Docket

Running a Minecraft server with dozens of plugins can feel like juggling flaming swords. One bad interaction and everything crashes. That is where Docket steps in — a lightweight, automatic compatibility scanner that audits your entire plugin folder every time your server starts. No configuration, no commands, just drop it in and let it work.

What Is Docket for Minecraft?

Docket is a server-side add-on built for Paper and Spigot 1.21+ that performs a deep compatibility scan on every plugin you have installed. It checks for hard dependency gaps, command collisions, and event-listener priority conflicts, then prints a clear, color-coded report directly in your console. A health score — Great, Good, Mild, or Bad — gives you an instant snapshot of your server’s stability. If you have ever wondered why two plugins refuse to cooperate, Docket is the detective you need.

Key Features of Docket

Bytecode Event Analysis

Docket reads plugin JARs using ASM 9.7 to map every registered event listener. It then flags priority conflicts where two plugins fight over the same event at the same priority level, helping you catch silent breakage before it affects players.

Dependency Auditing

Missing hard dependencies and circular dependency chains are a common source of startup crashes. Docket scans your entire /plugins directory and reports exactly which plugins are missing required libraries or are tangled in loops, so you can fix them before your server goes live.

Command Collision Detection

When two plugins register the same command, one silently overrides the other. Docket identifies every overlapping command registration, letting you resolve conflicts with a simple alias or priority tweak.

Server Health Score

After each scan, Docket assigns a health rating — Great, Good, Mild, or Bad — based on the number and severity of findings. This single metric helps you quickly gauge whether your server is ready for players or needs immediate attention.

LuckPerms Compatibility

Docket includes dedicated permission nodes for LuckPerms, so you can control who can view scan reports in-game without disrupting your existing permission setup.

Discord Webhook Integration

Send scan reports directly to a Discord channel on startup or after a manual rescan. No bot required — just configure the webhook URL and Docket handles the rest.

In-Game Report with Pagination

The /plugincheck command displays a color-coded, paginated report right in chat. Clickable navigation makes it easy to browse through findings without leaving the game.

How to Install Docket

Getting started with Docket is refreshingly simple. Follow these steps to download Docket and add it to your server:

• Ensure your server runs Paper 1.21+ or Spigot 1.21+ with Java 21 or newer.
• Download Docket from the official source — a single JAR file.
• Place Docket-plugin-compatibility-1.0-RELEASE.jar into your server’s /plugins folder.
• Restart the server. Docket runs its first scan automatically with zero setup.

Once the scan completes, you will see a detailed report in the console. No config files to edit, no permissions to set unless you want to restrict the in-game /plugincheck command. For those who prefer a graphical launcher experience, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install option that places Docket directly into your modded server instance, automatically matching the correct version and keeping it updated alongside your other add-ons.

Understanding the Scan Report

Docket groups findings by severity: critical, warning, and info. Critical issues demand immediate action — these are hard dependency gaps or event conflicts that can crash your server. Warnings include command collisions and soft dependency mismatches. Info items are simply observations, like plugins that register no events. The health score aggregates these into a single, actionable grade.

Large Server Performance

If you run a massive network with hundreds of plugins, bytecode analysis can be resource-intensive during startup. Docket includes a config option to disable bytecode scanning, so you can still benefit from dependency and command checks without the overhead. The config file is generated on first run and is well-documented.

Why Every Server Owner Needs Docket

Plugin conflicts are the silent killers of Minecraft servers. They cause lag spikes, data loss, and random crashes that are nearly impossible to diagnose without the right tools. Docket automates the entire auditing process, giving you a clear, prioritized list of issues before players ever join. Whether you manage a small community server or a large network, Docket saves hours of manual troubleshooting.

When you download Docket for Minecraft, you are not just getting a scanner — you are getting peace of mind. The health score alone can prevent you from launching a broken server, and the Discord webhook keeps your team informed without anyone needing console access.

Compatibility and Requirements

Docket is built for modern Minecraft server software. It supports Paper 1.21+ and Spigot 1.21+, and requires Java 21 or higher. The add-on uses ASM 9.7 for bytecode analysis, ensuring accurate event mapping without impacting runtime performance. Because it hooks into the server’s startup sequence, Docket works alongside any other plugin without interference.

Final Thoughts

Docket fills a gap that every server administrator has felt: the need for a reliable, automated compatibility check. With its no-config setup, clear health scores, and detailed reports, it turns hours of manual debugging into a single console readout. Whether you are preparing a new modpack or maintaining a long-running network, Docket is the tool you did not know you were missing. Download Docket today and give your server the health check it deserves.
