Details
A Paper plugin that lets players send a prompt to an OpenRouter model and receive the reply in chat. Each /openrouter invocation is a single, stateless request — the plugin does not keep conversation history between messages.
Features
- Direct OpenRouter API integration
- Single-turn prompts only (no conversation memory between messages)
- No bundled secrets or API keys
- Operator command to save the API key from in-game or the server console
- Configurable model, system prompt, timeout, and chat formatting
- Permission nodes for normal usage vs management
- Optional
ops-only-chattoggle that requires operator status on top of the use permission
Setup
- Download the jar from Releases
- Put it in your server's
plugins/folder - Restart the server
- Set your OpenRouter API key using either:
- config file:
plugins/OpenRouterChat/config.yml - in-game (as op) or from the server console:
/openrouter add-key <your-key>
- config file:
Commands
The /openrouter <message> form must be run by a player so the response can be delivered to them. The management subcommands (add-key, clear-key, reload, status) can be run from either an in-game player with the manage permission or the server console.
/openrouter <message>— send a prompt to the configured OpenRouter model (player only)/openrouter add-key <api-key>— save the OpenRouter API key/openrouter clear-key— remove the stored API key/openrouter reload— reload config/openrouter status— view current status

ops-only-chat: false
ops-only-chat is an extra gate on top of the openrouterchat.use permission. When set to true, only server operators can run /openrouter <message>, even if non-op players have been granted openrouterchat.use. When false (the default), the permission node alone controls access.
