⚡ PlugLoad is a clean, command-only live plugin management tool for Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, and Purpur servers which allows you to load, unload and reload plugins while the server is running
It helps server administrators detect, load, unload, and reload plugins from the plugins folder
⚠️ Important safety notice
Live plugin loading, unloading, and reloading is never guaranteed to be fully safe on Bukkit-based servers. Some plugins keep background tasks, static state, services, hooks, classloader references, database connections, or dependencies that cannot always be cleaned perfectly while the server is running.
PlugLoad includes risk detection, warnings, confirmation prompts, cleanup attempts, and error logging, but the final safety of an action depends on the target plugin. The server administrator takes full responsibility for using this plugin.
✨ Features

🛡️ Risk Detection
PlugLoad asks for confirmation before actions that appear risky, including cases such as:
- The plugin has dependencies or soft dependencies
- Other plugins depend on the target plugin
- The plugin jar is large
- The plugin looks like a core, API, hook, or library plugin
- The plugin registers many commands, listeners, or scheduled tasks
When a risk is detected, PlugLoad will ask you to run:
/pg yes
within the configured timeout.
