About Movecraft

From SpigotMC

Design, construct, battle, and conquer using crafts composed of Minecraft blocks

Due to the hard fork of Paper on 1.20.5+, Movecraft 8 beta 3 is the last version to support Spigot. All future versions will only support Paper and can be found on our GitHub or hangar.papermc.io.
