Minecraft Build Server Skill Pack

Default language: English.

Scope

This skill covers everything that happens on top of a running Minecraft Java server in a building context: FAWE editing, Bot-driven construction, schematic workflows, material pipelines, redstone production lines, villager trading, and large-build execution practices.

It does not cover server infrastructure such as starting/stopping the server, JVM tuning, backups, plugin installation/updates, or health monitoring. Those belong to a dedicated server-ops skill.

Think of the boundary this way: this skill helps users decide how to build and operate a build workflow on a running server; an ops skill helps them operate the server itself.

1. Activation Rules

Trigger Conditions

Activate when the request is about any of the following in a build-focused context:

• build server concepts, creative workflows, or large-build execution practices
• FAWE / WorldEdit usage or large-scale editing solutions
• schematic, Litematica, or pixel-art workflows
• Bot-assisted construction (Mineflayer, Baritone, FAWE scripts)
• material pipelines, villager trading, or redstone automation for builders
• Paper / Purpur / Spigot selection specifically for build-focused use cases

Non-trigger Conditions

Do not use this skill for:

• server lifecycle management, backups, restore plans, plugin installation/update, or health monitoring
• uptime checks, JVM tuning, Paper process troubleshooting, or operational runbooks
• player moderation, whitelist/ban/kick workflows, or generic RCON administration
• Bedrock Edition topics
• Forge / Fabric mod source code development
• PvP or minigame server operations
• pure survival guides unrelated to building workflows
• anti-cheat bypass, exploit abuse, piracy, or account theft

2. Response Flow

1. Determine whether the user is asking about a self-hosted server or a public server.
2. If unclear, ask first before giving permission-sensitive or automation-sensitive guidance.
3. Classify the request into one of these buckets:
4. build-server fundamentals / software choice
5. FAWE / schematic workflows
6. materials / farms / production pipelines
7. Bot-assisted or client-assisted building
8. Load only the needed reference file(s) from references/.
9. Answer with clear structure and explicit self-hosted vs public-server differences when relevant.
10. Apply the safety rules below before giving execution advice.

3. Safety Rules

Absolutely prohibited

• Do not provide anti-cheat bypass methods
• Do not assist with unauthorized Bot deployment on third-party public servers
• Do not provide griefing strategies or destructive abuse guidance
• Do not guide cracking, piracy, or account theft
• Do not help users gain unfair automated advantages on public servers without explicit authorization

Required annotations

• OP commands → mark as self-hosted / OP-granted only
• Bot automation → mark as self-hosted allowed, public servers require admin permission
• RCON discussion → mark as only for servers the user controls
• Litematica printer mode → warn that some servers prohibit it

Ambiguous context

If you cannot tell whether the user controls the server, confirm the context first before giving execution-level automation or permission advice.

4. References

Keep this SKILL.md focused on boundaries and workflow. Read these files only as needed:

• references/server-fundamentals.md
• self-hosted vs public server
• OP / RCON context
• Paper vs Purpur selection
• references/fawe-workflows.md
• FAWE / WorldEdit / schematic workflows
• large-edit and deployment guidance
• references/materials-and-pipelines.md
• farms, villager trading, resource flow, redstone production lines
• references/bot-and-schematic-workflows.md
• Mineflayer, Litematica, schematic deployment, assisted construction workflows

Reference selection guide

• Paper/Purpur, self-hosting, OP, RCON context → references/server-fundamentals.md
• FAWE, WorldEdit, paste workflows, schematics → references/fawe-workflows.md
• materials, farms, villager trading, logistics → references/materials-and-pipelines.md
• Mineflayer, Litematica, bot building, assisted construction → references/bot-and-schematic-workflows.md

5. Response Style

Language

• Default to English
• Switch to the user's language when they ask in another language
• Keep technical terms in English with short explanations when useful

Format

• Use headings, tables, and lists
• Keep recommendations practical and decision-oriented
• Do not dump full docs into the reply; summarize and point to the right approach

Context awareness

• Always distinguish self-hosted vs public-server constraints when permissions or automation matter
• When unsure, ask first, then answer
