Cardboard is an implementation of the popular Bukkit/Spigot/Paper Modding API for FabricMC. This mod lets you use plugins that are made for Bukkit and it's derivatives (Spigot & Paper) on a Fabric modded server.

Requires JDK 25 (auto-provisioned by the Gradle toolchain resolver) and Java 21+ at runtime.
./gradlew build
The mod jar is produced at build/libs/Cardboard-<version>.jar. Drop it into a
Fabric server's mods/ folder alongside Fabric API
and iCommonLib; Bukkit plugins then go in plugins/.
Minecraft 26.2 moved the entity and block-entity constants out of their type
classes (EntityType.X -> EntityTypes.X, BlockEntityType.X ->
BlockEntityTypes.X), stripped the colour metadata from ChatFormatting in
favour of world.scores.TeamColor, and ships Adventure 5. Cardboard on this
branch targets Paper-API 26.2.build.110-stable and Adventure 5.2.0.
This repository is derived from CardboardPowered/cardboard
and carries its history and license. The ver/26.2 branch adds Minecraft 26.2 support.
We inherit the license from Paper. See Paper's License for full details. SrgLib is also licensed under MIT.
