I have a doubt regarding the "Open source" plugins, for example, some of these "open source" plugins do not come to be downloaded directly in .jar mode, instead, what they give you is a .zip file, I would like know how to make that .zip file become a plugin .jar usable for servers

That really depends on every plugin. It depends what build tool they use, if they even use one, it depends what dependencies they have, etc

Could you help me with an example please? something like this plugin, I'm not really going to use it, but I would like you to give me an example of this, I really don't know anything about compiling plugins and stuff

How could I convert it to a .jar file to use as a plugin?
(if you want, you can put your own example with another plugin, I have no problems)

You clone the repo to your PC and use the command of whatever build tool/dependency manager they have.
Like in this case would it be mvn clean install or something like that.

Tools would mostly be maven or gradle, which are used to build the jar. In the example you gave is maven used.
I recommend googling "How to build a Jar" or something similar to learn the basics of using maven/gradle to build jar files.
Tho usually, you shouldn't bother with such stuff unless you're a developer yourself.
