PlayTimeManager is optimized for Paper due to its superior performance, flexibility, and additional features not available on Spigot. These enhancements allow PlayTimeManager to run more efficiently and provide a better experience for both server administrators and players. As a result, Spigot is no longer supported.
The project isn't abandoned, the plugin will just not work on Spigot servers.
