What this tool does
You pick name, main class, version, maybe authors and a couple of commands or permissions. It turns that into YAML. Download it, or copy-paste if you only need a quick fix.

plugin.yml Generator for Spigot and Paper
Tired of typing plugin.yml by hand and missing a space? This just fills in the usual fields and spits out a file you can drop into your plugin project.
What it will not do
It does not write your Java code. If your command in plugin.yml does not match what you register in code, the plugin still will not work. That part is on you.
Small tips
Keep the plugin name simple: letters, numbers, underscores. api-version should be close to the Minecraft version you actually build against. depend and softdepend only matter if those plugins exist on the server.
Quick questions
Does this write Java for me?
No. Only plugin.yml. You still code and compile the plugin yourself.
Paper or Spigot?
Same file for both, for the basic fields. Set api-version to whatever you support.
Where do I put the file?
Usually src/main/resources/plugin.yml so it ends up at the root of the jar.

What do you think about this tool?
If something feels wrong, a Minecraft version is missing, the wording is confusing, or you have a better workflow idea, send it over. Real player feedback is how these tools get sharper.
