# Socialismus

Socialismus is a module-extendable social plugin for Minecraft servers and proxies.

It is built around one core idea:
social features should not be hard-coded into one giant plugin.

Most social plugins bundle every feature into the base product from the start.
Socialismus takes a different approach. The base plugin focuses on flexible chat foundations, while additional
behavior is added through modules that can be installed based on the network's needs.

That means the core can stay focused on customizable chat behavior and shared infrastructure.
Announcements can be a module.
Chat bubbles can be a module.
Private messaging and similar utilities can be a module.
If your network needs something else later, the extension model is already part of the design.

## Why the module model matters

- You are not forced to ship every social feature in the base plugin.
- Networks can install only the modules they actually want.
- New features can be added without turning the core into a pile of unrelated special cases.
- Module authors can build on the same platform, chat, and synchronization foundations.
