What is ExecutableItems?

ExecutableItems is a powerful Minecraft plugin that lets server owners create fully custom items with unique abilities, effects, and behaviors — all without writing a single line of code. Whether you want to build a magic wand that shoots fireballs, a teleportation scroll, or a healing potion with custom particles, ExecutableItems makes it possible through simple YAML configuration.

Why Choose ExecutableItems?

  • No coding required — Everything is configured through YAML files
  • Unlimited creativity — Create any item behavior you can imagine
  • Active community — Thousands of servers use it with a growing library of shared resources
  • Regular updates — Continuously improved with new features and Minecraft version support
  • Performance optimized — Built on the SCore framework for minimal server impact

Installation

  1. Download ExecutableItems from one of the official marketplaces:
  2. Place the .jar file in your server's plugins/ folder
  3. Restart your server
  4. The plugin will generate its default configuration files

Creating Your First Item

Once installed, creating an item is straightforward. Navigate to plugins/ExecutableItems/items/ and create a new YAML file:

name: "&6Magic Wand"
material: BLAZE_ROD
glow: true
activators:
  activator1:
    option: PLAYER_CLICK_ON_ENTITY
    commands:
      - "DAMAGE 5"
      - "PARTICLE FLAME %entity_x% %entity_y% %entity_z% 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.1 50"

This creates a glowing Blaze Rod named "Magic Wand" that deals 5 damage and creates flame particles when you click on an entity.
