Free vs Premium

Structory now has a cleaner split between Free and Premium.

Free is the public version. It contains the shared core and the basic structure/crafting plugin.

Premium is private and depends on the same shared core, then adds the advanced systems on top.

Why the split matters​

Before this split, Free and Premium were easier to mix together by accident. That made updates harder and increased the risk of duplicated code or Premium-only classes leaking into the public build.

The new layout keeps the responsibilities clearer:

PartPurpose
structory-coreShared logic used by both editions.
Structory FreePublic plugin with the core structure/crafting experience.
Structory PremiumPrivate plugin with advanced options, integrations and admin/editor tools.

Free edition​

Use Free when you need the standard Structory workflow:

  • multiblock structures;
  • structure detection;
  • crafting stations;
  • physical recipe slots;
  • saved custom items;
  • notify messages;
  • basic particles and fireworks;
  • recipe picker GUI;
  • YAML-based structures and recipes.

Free is intentionally smaller. It should stay stable, easy to install and easy to understand.

Premium edition​

Use Premium when you need the bigger server-owner toolkit:

  • in-game editor dashboard;
  • structure editor;
  • recipe editor;
  • instance inspector;
  • config/message/gui file editing;
  • health check and validation tools;
  • crate placement;
  • privacy;
  • storage;
  • bag ingredients;
  • rebuild behavior;
  • block display support;
  • valid world restrictions;
  • command actions;
  • advanced economy/custom item integrations.

Premium is where most of the heavy administration tools live.

Version 26.1​

Both editions use 26.1 as the Structory version.

Both editions should have:

version: 26.1

in plugin.yml and in the default config.yml.

If your server already has an older plugins/Structory/config.yml, Structory may back it up and generate a new one. That is expected when the config version changes.

Which jar should I install?​

Install only one Structory jar:

  • use Structory Free if you only need the free feature set;
  • use Structory Premium if you bought/need Premium features.

Do not install Free and Premium together on the same server. They use the same plugin name and data folder.
