Developer API Overview

Allow other Bukkit/Paper plugins to read and modify Skills player data via the SkillsAPI interface.

The Skills plugin exposes a public Java/Kotlin API that other Bukkit or Paper plugins can use to read and manipulate player skill data at runtime. The API is registered through Bukkit’s built-in ServicesManager, so no direct dependency on the Skills plugin classes is required beyond the interface.

What the API provides

Category	Capabilities
Skill CRUD	Get, set, add, and check skill values for any online player
Stat access	Read the derived STR, DEX, and INT stats calculated from skill totals
HP / Mana / Stamina	Read current and maximum values; restore mana or stamina programmatically
Utility	List all valid skill names, validate a skill name, retrieve a player’s title

Availability

The API was introduced in Skills v0.4.13. It is registered when the plugin enables and unregistered when it disables. If Skills is loaded as a soft dependency, always null-check the provider before calling any methods.

Getting started

Add Skills as a dependency, obtain the API instance, and run your first queries.
