Welcome to the Blur wiki!

Blur, also known as BlurEngine, is a Minecraft Bukkit plugin that enables modular configuration to a Bukkit server. Blur enables the ability of controlling a Minecraft server without the need to write programs. This is made possible by the architecture of Blur - it operates through sessions that contain modules.

A Blur Session is the root to Blur's potential. It essentially helps encapsulate behaviour and apply it to the entities involved in the session. This is very crucial for mini-games to ensure consistent and expected behaviour with every time the level is setup. The behaviour, and full experience, of Blur comes from the modules applied to the session.

A Blur module is computer code written by a programmer that is referred to by name, e.g. WorldProtect. Being able to identify modules by name allows the Blur end users to easily import modules into their session configuration and further extend the behaviour and possibilities of the experience. Module configuration is expressed via YAML file format configuration through a file called blur.yml.
