Pick the approach that fits.
Scawork is a method for your agent, not a one-click generator. Here are the real options and when each one makes sense.
A reusable workflow
The same request, interview, plan and workspace in every project, with any agent.
Guidance that adapts
The interview changes how much is explained, from a first-time builder to an experienced developer.
The whole lifecycle
Create, grow, update and resume projects, including ones you already have.
Minecraft tooling
Platforms, threading, versions and build covered, with knowledge that keeps its sources.
| If you need | An approach that fits | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Full control and no dependencies | Your own project instructions | You write and maintain the rules your agent follows. Many coding agents read them. |
| Help inside your IDE | Minecraft Development for IntelliJSource | An IntelliJ IDEA plugin with support for Spigot, Paper, Sponge, Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Architectury, BungeeCord, Waterfall and Velocity. |
| A process for any kind of software | GitHub Spec KitSource | A toolkit that guides AI coding agents from specification to plan, tasks and implementation. It is not limited to one domain. |
| One plugin without writing code | A hosted generator, such as Player GamesSource | The AI writes the Java, compiles it and tests it on a Paper server before you get the JAR. Made for server owners. |
| Your agent creating and maintaining Minecraft plugin projects with one method | ScaworkThis page | A read-only template with rules and knowledge for platforms, build and lifecycle, for six agents. |
