Bukkit was a set of community built, open source tools envisioned and developed to ease the creation of multiplayer See the multiplayer experience in Minecraft.

. Because some of the developers involved had already been involved in hey0`s Mod, there are similarities between the two plugins. Be that as it may, mods written for hey0 had to be ported to use the Bukkit Application Programming Interface (API). Bukkit was originally envisioned as two tools, CraftBukkit and Bukkit, respectively the Bukkit server executable and the Bukkit API. This division was intended to make code upkeep simpler. Later, ScrapBukkit was created to develop certain server commands as a plugin rather than within CraftBukkit, and several other tools have been developed. Bukkit will most likely remain the SMP tool of choice until Mojang releases its official API, which is currently in development.

Controversy Surrounding Creation
hey0 officially discontinued his work on hMod with a forum post on 4 Jan. 2011. Without hey0, development on hMod, the predominant server mod at the time, was unable to continue. Because of the unofficial nature of both hMod and Bukkit and because hey0 was very inactive, miscommunication led to some anger within the community. Parts of the community believed The Bukkit Project was stealing hey0`s work and others were angry at hey0 because they felt entitled to continued development. The situation was exacerbated by the fact that Bukkit was not ready for release for a period of more than a week after hMod was discontinued. During that hiatus, SMP Version 1.2 was released, with significant new content. This made it impossible to run a SMP server with the newest official Minecraft content and any plugins for that time without switching to MCAdmin. (MCAdmin was a competing server mod that had been abandoned by the community after Doridian, its developer, aggravated privacy issues by writing a backdoor in his plugin because he was angry at certain members of his userbase.) The situation continued as the Bukkit team did not create a simple Bukkit download link on their webpage because of licensing issues. The Bukkit team wanted to release Bukkit under the GPL, and CraftBukkit under the LGPL, a proposition that is legally questionable because of The Bukkit Project`s inherent dependence upon Mojang AB`s proprietary codebase. Members of the Bukkit team met with Mojang on 19 Jan. with the intent of discussing licensing issues, but the topic was not sufficiently discussed. (As of Jun. 2011, Bukkit and CraftBukkit still contain those GPL licences in their Githubs.) The situation was resolved with server owners building Bukkit on their own from preview builds on the GitHub repository, allowing the community to have working SMP 1.2 servers.
