Contributing

Papyrus inherits Paper's patch-based development workflow.

1. Fork codingsushi79/Papyrus to a personal account (not an organization — org forks block maintainer edits)
2. Clone your fork and create a feature branch from main
3. Make changes — Java code in papyrus-server/src/main/java/ directly, Minecraft changes via the patch system
4. Run ./gradlew build to verify
5. Open a pull request against main

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full patch workflow, including:

• Per-file patch edits (fixupSourcePatches, rebuildPatches)
• Feature patches for larger changes
• Optional test-plugin module for API testing (./gradlew runDev)
• [ci skip] in PR titles for docs-only changes

Security vulnerabilities: see SECURITY.md.
