The better plugin list. More information about the plugin authors, shows the description and can additionally check for plugin updates via spigot.
The plugin can perform update checks via the Spigot api, GitHub releases and GitHub tags. It recognizes new functions by comparing the values of the version string instead of just checking if the version is different. That avoids update notices when running snapshots or dev builds.
/bp updates will give you a list of updateable plugins. If you have the betterplugins.info.updatenotify permission
your will get an update notification on join.
The plugin replaces your usual plugin list. Every plugin entry is clickable and will reveal some additional information on hover and even more when you click on it.
You can change the names of plugins with a pretty name, alter the description and set a download and info url which will be displayed in the detailed plugin info. You can also completely hide plugins away. All of it can be configured by a configuration files or individually by commands ingame.
You can directly see which plugins depend on a plugin, and you can also see which plugins are actually using another plugin. Never uninstall a plugin which is still needed by others!
