✨ What is URLDrop?

URLDrop is an admin-focused plugin that turns your Minecraft server into a download station. Instead of SSH-ing into your machine to wget a backup or a world archive, you open a chest GUI in-game, paste a URL, choose a destination, and let the server do the rest.

Perfect for:

• 📦 Downloading server backups from remote storage
• 🌍 Pulling world archives or data packs
• 🔌 Staging plugin updates without leaving the game
• 📁 Migrating large files between servers via URL
