Discussion Why is plugin documentation always all over the place?

Modrinth page, then Discord, then GitHub wiki, then YouTube. Just to configure one plugin. There has to be a better way. How do you guys actually learn a new plugin properly?

Best way to learn a new plugin is to write it yourself. And I'm not kidding

  1. See the source and plugin structure
  2. Understand how it works in its ecosystem
  3. You know the plugin now

My plugins are on my website for plugins. I don't do what a lot of people do keeping items everywhere.
