Try to make a change in the external plugin, rebuild the plugin in the external project and press the "refresh" button in the plugin list. You should now see the changes live in the client!
Copy the directory of one of the existing example plugins, adjust build.gradle.kts to match your new plugin.
Then in the projects settings.gradle include your new plugin
Restart the client and you should be good to go! Changes in the plugin will be automatically updated once you build the plugin and press the "refresh" button.
