Solved Server "Framework"

This isn't really a coding question but I was just wondering what this means. Larger servers with multiple servers linked together often talk about a kind of Server framework. I was wondering what they are referring too and why it is important to develop one and what sort of things do they do? Sorry if this isn't much information it was just something I was curios about. Thanks.

L33m4n123 Thanks for that. So basically they are developing a kind of structure for their servers/minigames. That sounds like a good idea. Is it like an API so they can hook other plugins into it? What purpose does this have in Minecraft?

 

Heyho
Iworked on the PvP - Network Heavy-War, R.I.P.. We used Bungeecord. But i do not know if its working on Bukkit, because we used another server software.

 

Major servers use a core plugin or a framework in order to require less dependencies and essentially providing a more optimized plugin. The Framework/Core usually contains methods that are used everywhere like banning/stats/tracking etc that each individual server can connect to.

Having a Framework or a Core significantly reduces development time and it can be used and over and over again making it a great way to update and create new plugins without taking days/weeks to code the same things over again..

TL;DR Frameworks/Cores are the easiest to create custom anything for big servers without having to spend days/weeks writing a plugin that might need an update every few days.

 

Goblom Thanks. Definitely going to look into developing something like this for my server. Marking as solved. Also off topic but when are you launching your Hitman Servers? I looked at the website a few weeks back and it still hasn't launched.

 

Ad237 Its been launched, but nothing has happened with them yet. We are waiting for confirmation from a Few youtubers before we post all information on the website. But, the servers page is up and that has all the information needed to connect to a hitman server
