✉ SmartMail

A simple, immersive in-game mail system for Paper & Spigot.

What is SmartMail?

SmartMail lets players send letters and item packages to each other through a clean GUI — no chat commands, no hassle.

Open your inbox, read your mail, attach items, and track whether your letter was delivered and read. Everything runs off the main thread for minimal server impact.
