I wish it was that simple, but the overall architecture of MCServer is completely different from the vanilla/bukkit version. Also our plugins are written in Lua not in C++ Wink

I have no idea why FakeTruth choose Lua, but I'm really glad he did it instead of C++ because it's much simpler.

I can only a bit C# programming, including basic OOP.
If I want to learn LUA and write plugins, where should I start?

Look at some code from different plugins.

And don't forget to look at http://mc-server.xoft.cz/LuaAPI/ also

CombatLog will probably be done tomorrow. I have a working version, but it still needs some work.

Lua was chosen because it's super easy to integrate into C++, and it's very fast and easy to write.

The only really bad thing about it is that it doesn't have that many good libraries.

Actually Lua has many good libraries, but installing them is not trivial enough for most people. Have a look at LuaRocks, the amount of libraries available there is impressive. And there are more repositories like this, LuaDist being one of them if I remember correctly.

I believe Lua was chosen because it's rather easy to integrate, is fast and is both simple to learn for beginners and powerful enough for advanced stuff. Also it is a somewhat standard scripting language for game engines nowadays.
C++ is not a good language for plugins because it requires compilation, which means every plugin would either be a platform-dependent binary file, or a source distribution which the users would have compile for themselves. Not so great stuff for casual users.
