LodeItems is a Paper plugin for adding your own items, blocks, props, 3D armour, emojis, sounds and more to a Minecraft server. You describe each one in a short YAML file. LodeItems builds the resource pack and sends it to your players.
items/gems/ruby.yml
Run /lodeitems reload and the ruby is in the game.

What makes it different

Files live together

Textures, models and sounds go right beside the YAML that uses them, in any folder you like. You never need to know how a resource pack is laid out.

Room for lots of content

Items and props have no practical limit. Blocks get about 1,500 solid looks, plus see-through and walk-through ones, all handed out for you.

Fast enough to build with

Custom blocks cost the same as vanilla blocks in the world, so you can build with them, paste them with WorldEdit and fill whole areas.
One broken entry never stops the rest from loading. Every error gives you the file, the line and what was wrong.

​
Where to start

Installation

Put the plugin on your server and start it for the first time.

How content works

Ids, folders, file paths and reloading. Read this first.

Items

Your first custom item, then stats, mechanics and armour.

Blocks

Full blocks, see-through blocks, logs, stairs, slabs and doors.

Elements

Props like chairs, tables, lamps, beds, storage and sofas that join up.

Resource pack

How the pack reaches your players, and how to host it yourself.

​
Requirements

  • A Paper server for Minecraft 26.2.
  • Java 25.
