Spigot Development
SpigotMC is one of the greatest software projects for running a Minecraft server, and its free and open-source software provide a great tool for develop amazing minigames and server features that improve the user experience of your server or network.

A plugin is a complementary software that extends the functions of your Minecraft server, there are several types of plugins that will help you offer a better experience to your users, offer minigames like Skywars, Bedwars, PvP, Survival, have more control of your users and the server in general, managing statistics, data, bans, reports, locations and more.
The need to configure a plugin will depend on the functions it has and the level of customization you want to achieve, and from these same factors, will depend on the time you will take to configure and maintain it when new versions are released or if you make changes to your server.
One of the factors I take into account when creating a plugin, is the user experience that you as the server owner or administrator will have when configuring it, and the experience that your users and staff will have when using it. Making a plugin easy to configure, with a good performance and easy to understand and use, are the fundamental requirements that surround the design of these plugins.

API's (Application Program Interface), are a set of definitions and protocols that are used to develop and integrate application software, allowing communication between two softwares through a set of rules. In this case, the API's will allow you to develop plugins in a more efficient and faster way, without worrying about programming repetitive tasks or functions in your different plugins, allowing you to focus on the logic of the plugin and the tests that they require.
With these API's, I intend to make the development of your plugin more agile, without the need for you to know much about plugin development for Spigot, or, if you are already experienced, save you the time and need to rewrite the same code in your different plugins, so you can create your plugin in a short time.
These API's do not need to be initialized on the server or be a dependency of your plugin, you just have to compile it together with your plugin.
