It is noticeable if we browse through the forum that it is confusing for new developers to understand how to build phar plugins with DevTools. Therefore, I made this online converter to convert plugins from zip to phar. It is written in PHP as a web server, and is home-hosted by myself. Therefore, I do not guarantee that the website is always online. Also, since PHPStorm autosaves files, the website may be under maintenance and behaving strangely without warning. To avoid confusion, the place of the plugin inside the zip is arbitrary. The server searches for a plugin.yml file inside the zip. If multiple ones are found, the most outside (with the least slashes in the include path) one will be used. Then, a phar will be built from the directory containing the plugin.yml file. The webpage also has an inspection feature, but at its current early development stage it only checks if you put the main class at the correct file, matches plugin.yml and has the correct (but might not be detected) namespace and class declarations. I also added a new unphar feature recently since http://unphar.com is down. You can see the details and use it at http://pmt.mcpe.me Thanks for reading and happy coding. Wish you a successful build.
I'm working on a plugin generator too, but I think I need to study more about web JavaScript and jQuery.
Please use http://pemapmodder.zapto.org/pm/ instead now. It shows the index of different tools. I just added a phar-to-zip converter. Please help testing!
If you open that link here now, it opens a new tab with text? But when I do that, my browser downloads a file.
