Plugin Parchment

Parchment, Minecraft Scripting in Tcl

Parchment is an older Bukkit plugin that brings rapid scripting to a Minecraft server through a custom language inspired by Tcl. It lets administrators create abilities, spells, interactions, and gameplay events without writing a complete Java plugin.

Scripts can react to casts and player actions, while controlling items, equipment, entities, teleportation, and other server features. Files are sourced again as they change, making experimentation convenient during development. Parchment includes custom commands and variables for players, targets, worlds, and the server, although its Tcl implementation is incomplete and may contain bugs. At BoxToPlay, we present it as a lightweight tool for creating original server mechanics.
