VersionEye

VersionEye checks your installed plugins for updates on Modrinth. Updates are reported in the console, to ops when they join, and on demand with `/updatecheck`. All checks run off the main thread. Works on Paper, Purpur, and Folia.

Plugins are identified by the sha512 hash of their jar, so they are matched to their exact Modrinth project and release with no name guessing. Alpha and beta builds are ignored unless enabled.

notify-on-join: true            # tell ops about updates when they join
require-matching-game-version: false  # only count releases tagged for your MC version
include-prereleases: false      # also count alpha and beta uploads

exclude:                        # plugins to skip
  - VersionEye

If a plugin shows as not found, it either isn't on Modrinth or its jar came from somewhere else. Pin it to the right project, or exclude it:

overrides:
  Essentials: essentialsx
exclude:
  - SomeWeirdPlugin

VersionEye only notifies. It never downloads or replaces plugins, so you stay in control of what gets updated and when.
