RetroBridge (required)

RetroBridge is a compatibility bridge plugin for Project Poseidon servers. It provides a stable abstraction layer for common server features and selects an active provider based on what plugins are installed and how the server is configured.

How it works

RetroBridge registers providers for each module and selects one active provider per module. Selection rules:

  1. If preferred-provider.value is set to a specific provider name, RetroBridge tries that provider first.
  2. If preferred-provider.value is AUTO, RetroBridge uses the first available provider in registration order.
  3. If a specific preferred provider is unavailable and allow-fallback.value is true, RetroBridge falls back to the first other available provider.
  4. If a specific preferred provider is unavailable and allow-fallback.value is false, the module has no active provider.

Provider availability is determined by whether the backing plugin is enabled.

Command

  • /retrobridge - shows the active provider for each module, including the owner plugin and whether the active provider was registered as BUILTIN or RUNTIME.
