Feature parity between the plugins/ bind mount and PLUGINS environment variable

Enhancement Type

Improve an existing feature

Describe the enhancement

I've been using the PLUGINS enviroment variable to deploy "packages" of plugins to my servers, but the PLUGINS feature only copies .jar files instead of copying all files like the /plugins bind mount. I was wondering if we could get an option to have feature parity between the two so I can deploy and interpolate plugin configuration along with the jar files in packages.

I'm doing things this way as some of my servers require different "packages" of plugins, eg, a creative world not requiring survival-orientated plugins, but multiple survival worlds all requiring the same survival plugin config.

To make sure I understand correctly, you would like to have the synchronization and interpolation features of the "/plugins" mechanism, but with the ability to source from several directories instead of just the one path?

Yeah, that's basically what I'd like to be able to do!
