Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What is Minax?

Minax is a full-stack AI development platform that lets you create production-ready Minecraft plugins using natural language descriptions. Instead of writing code, you describe what you want and AI generates, compiles, and deploys it.

How much does Minax cost?

Minax offers a freemium model:
  • Free tier: 3 credits per day
  • Premium: Flexible pricing based on usage
  • Enterprise: Custom pricing for teams
Each plugin generation typically costs 1-5 credits depending on complexity.

Do I need to know Java?

No! Minax is designed for anyone. You describe your plugin in plain English or French, and the AI handles all the Java code generation. However, having Java knowledge helps you iterate faster with custom edits.

What Minecraft versions are supported?

Minax supports:
  • 1.8 to 1.21+ (all modern versions)
  • Spigot, Paper, Bukkit, and more
  • Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux servers)

Technical Questions

How is my code compiled?

Minax uses Maven for compilation. We automatically:
  1. Resolve dependencies
  2. Compile your Java code
  3. Detect and fix common errors
  4. Generate a ready-to-deploy .jar file

Can I edit the generated code?

Absolutely! After generation, you can:
  • Edit code in the built-in Monaco editor (VS Code-like)
  • Add custom logic
  • Test locally
  • Recompile instantly

Where is my data stored?

Your plugins and code are stored securely in our servers. You can:
  • Download .jar files anytime
  • Export complete source code
  • Delete projects whenever you want

Is my code private?

Yes, by default. Your private plugins are only visible to you. You can optionally:
  • Publish to the public community gallery
  • Share with specific team members
  • Keep everything private

Usage Questions

How long does generation take?

Most plugins are generated in 30-60 seconds, including:
  • AI analysis
  • Code generation
  • Maven compilation
  • Error checking
Complex plugins may take up to 2-3 minutes.

What types of plugins can I create?

You can create:
  • ✅ Command systems
  • ✅ Custom items and blocks

  • ✅ Permission systems
  • ✅ Teleportation systems
  • ✅ Custom GUIs
  • ✅ World generation tools
Basically anything you can describe!

Can I use external libraries?

Yes! When describing your plugin, you can request specific libraries. Our AI will:
  • Add them to your pom.xml
  • Import necessary classes
  • Integrate them into your code

How do I deploy to my server?

Simple 3 steps:
  1. Download your .jar file
  2. Copy to /plugins folder
  3. Restart your server
Your plugin is active immediately!

Troubleshooting

My plugin won’t start

Common fixes:
  1. Check server logs: tail -f logs/latest.log
  2. Verify Java version (1.8+)
  3. Check for permission errors
  4. Try regenerating the plugin

Can I use this commercially?

Yes! Generated plugins can be used:
  • ✅ On public servers
  • ✅ In server networks
  • ✅ For client work
  • ✅ For resale (check license)
Just give credit to Minax in your server motd!

What if generation fails?

If your plugin fails to generate:
  1. Simplify your description
  2. Break it down into smaller features
  3. Check logs for error details
  4. Try again with different wording
  5. Contact support if persistent
