Quick Start

This guide will help you get started with writing Pumpkin server plugins using C#.

Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure you have the following installed:

Setting up the project

First, create a new class library project:

bash
dotnet new classlib -n MyPumpkinPlugin
cd MyPumpkinPlugin

Create a NuGet.Config file in your project root to include the experimental .NET feed:

xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="dotnet-experimental" value="https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dnceng/public/_packaging/dotnet-experimental/nuget/v3/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

Add the Pumpkin API and the WebAssembly SDK:

bash
dotnet add package PumpkinMC.PumpkinApi
dotnet add package ByteCodeAlliance.Componentize.DotNet.Wasm.SDK --prerelease

Edit your .csproj file to target wasi-wasm and use .NET 10.0:

xml
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net10.0</TargetFramework>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    <RuntimeIdentifier>wasi-wasm</RuntimeIdentifier>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="ByteCodeAlliance.Componentize.DotNet.Wasm.SDK" Version="*-*" />
    <PackageReference Include="PumpkinMC.PumpkinApi" Version="*" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

Creating your first plugin

Replace the content of Class1.cs (or create a new file MyPlugin.cs) with the following code:

csharp
using PluginWorld;
using PluginWorld.wit.Exports.pumpkin.plugin.v0_1_0;
using PluginWorld.wit.Imports.pumpkin.plugin.v0_1_0;

namespace MyPumpkinPlugin;

public class MyPlugin : IPluginWorldExports, IMetadataExports
{
    public static void InitPlugin() { }

    public static void OnLoad(IContextImports.Context context)
    {
        ILoggingImports.Log(ILoggingImports.Level.Info, "C# plugin loaded!");
    }

    public static void OnUnload(IContextImports.Context context) { }

    public static IEventImports.Event HandleEvent(uint eventId, IServerImports.Server server, IEventImports.Event @event)
    {
        return @event;
    }

    public static int HandleCommand(uint commandId, ICommandImports.CommandSender sender, IServerImports.Server server, ICommandImports.ConsumedArgs args)
    {
        return 0;
    }

    public static void HandleTask(uint handlerId, IServerImports.Server server) { }

    public static IMetadataExports.PluginMetadata Metadata()
    {
        return new IMetadataExports.PluginMetadata(
            "my-csharp-plugin",
            "0.1.0",
            "An example C# plugin.",
            ["YourName"],
            []
        );
    }
}

Building the plugin

To build your plugin into a WebAssembly component:

bash
dotnet build -c Release

The compiled .wasm file will be located in bin/Release/net10.0/wasi-wasm/publish/. You can place this file in the plugins folder of your Pumpkin server.
