Why use Nova Plugin?

Traditional server customization often requires players to install mods, which can be a barrier for casual users. Nova Plugin solves this by enabling deep customization through clever use of resource packs and server-side scripting meaning your players get a modded experience without ever touching their client files.

From custom weapons and mobs to full GUIs and crafting systems, Nova is the ideal solution for developers who want more control while keeping their servers accessible. Whether you’re creating a Skyblock variant with new tools or a full MMORPG-style progression system, Nova gives you the flexibility to build it all with no external dependencies for your players.
