English | 简体中文

A plugin container that brings .NET plugins to Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server (BDS). Also known as 星光框架.

A carrier (LeviLamina, Endstone, or the Linux self-hosted carrier) loads the native HostingShim, which hosts the CLR inside the server process. The managed PluginManager discovers plugins, resolves dependencies, isolates them, and drives their lifecycle. C# and F# loaders compile source at load; RpcLoader runs plugins out of process; the core's built-in loader handles precompiled assemblies.

Current release: Hosihikari.Plugin.Abstractions 1.1.0 · PluginManager v1.1.0 · HostingShim v1.1.0 · C#/F#/RPC Loaders v1.0.0 · Plugin.Build / Testing 1.0.0 · Plugin Templates 1.0.1
Platforms: Windows x64 (LeviLamina 26.51, Endstone 0.11) · Linux x64 (Endstone 0.11, self-hosted BDS 1.21.3)
Contract: api_version 2 · manifest manifest_version 1

Install

Run in the server root:

# self-hosted Linux
lip install github.com/HosihikariFramework/HostingShim

# LeviLamina
lip install github.com/HosihikariFramework/HostingShim#levilamina

# Endstone (Windows / Linux)
lip install github.com/HosihikariFramework/HostingShim#endstone

# In-process source loaders
lip install github.com/HosihikariFramework/CSharpLoader
lip install github.com/HosihikariFramework/FSharpLoader

# Out-of-process loader
lip install github.com/HosihikariFramework/RpcLoader

# Precompiled plugin templates
dotnet new install Hosihikari.Plugin.Templates::1.0.1

A plugin package is a directory under plugins/ whose name matches name in its manifest. Start with the quick start.

Plugin project packages

dotnet add package Hosihikari.Plugin.Build --version 1.0.0

In the test project directory, add the test package:

dotnet add package Hosihikari.Testing --version 1.0.0
