So what exactly are Extensions, and what makes them so special?

Understanding AsteroidAPI Extensions

Two Ways to Extend AsteroidAPI

1. External Plugins (API-Based)

• Works like regular Bukkit plugins in your plugins folder

• Access to all AsteroidAPI features:

  • Movement control

  • Player behavior

  • Block interactions

  • Server performance management

  • And more

• Easy to integrate with existing plugins

• Perfect for most use cases

2. Internal Extensions

• Loaded directly into Asteroid through the Extensions folder

• Runs inside Asteroid's core systems

• Can modify core behaviors like:

  • Fake player spawning process

  • Packet handling

  • Tick system modifications

• More powerful but requires careful implementation

When to Use Each Type

Use External Plugins when:

• You want to control fake players from your plugin

• You need to integrate with other plugins

• You're making general server features

Use Internal Extensions when:

• You need to modify how fake players work at a core level

• You want to add custom behaviors that run directly in Asteroid

• You need to handle packets or modify spawn behavior

Getting Started

Check our documentation for examples and guides on both types of extensions. Start with external plugins if you're new to AsteroidAPI - they're easier to work with and cover most common needs.
