Nova

Nova is a framework for developers to easily create custom items, blocks, GUIs, gameplay mechanics and more, without any client-side modifications.
With Nova, developers don't have to deal with resource pack tricks, data serialization or world formats and can instead just focus in adding content to the game.
As a server administrator, you can choose from a set of Nova addons, which will add content to the game.

You can find Nova on: SpigotMC | Hangar | Modrinth
