Changes to plugins and servers will keep happening. These changes can break a plugin.
The plugin.yml offers a way for dependencies (also needed to determine the loading order) but it would be useful if they can give more in depth constraints such as:

- Minimum server version

• Plugin dependency with minimum version

For 1.13 this is of course too late - but if in the future another big change happens (or feature changes) this can help.

I know spigot provides a way for developers to select the supported versions in their resources, but this is a more global approach

Example:

server-versions: ["1.11.*","1.12.*"]

or

server-versions: [">1.11","<1.13"]
