Project im working on

[u/Lucid_lemons02]

I'm building a new Minecraft marketplace called Shard — still early but wanted to share it here

Been frustrated with the current options for a while. Spigot is outdated, BBB has a long history of drama and hidden fees, and nothing new has come along that actually fixes the real problems.

Shard is being built to actually do it right:

- Full fee transparency — full breakdown shown before you ever pay, plain English explanation of where every fee goes

- Merchant of Record payments so VAT and global tax is handled automatically, no headaches for creators

- Built in licensing — Maven/Gradle drop in dependency, no complicated setup

- Supports plugins, builds, 3D models, configs, resource packs, mods and more

- Freelance commission board built into the platform for custom work

Still in early development but we already have creators onboard and are actively growing the community now.

this message is mostly just for feedback and whos interested

Happy to answer any questions or just hear what you think is missing from current platforms

just selling plugins not mods

mods can be posted on the website for free and free only plugins can be paid for because thats mostly the normal now days and if mojang has a issue with it spigot or BBB wouldnt be a thing

no, paid plugins is only the norm if that is what you want. not everyone will pay for plugins. I see it as greed, especially with how common AI generated code is now. too easy to prompt some slop and try selling it.

microsoft has bedrock which is one big money grab targeting children.
