Maven Dependency

Add the JitPack repository.

<repository>
    <id>jitpack.io</id>
    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>

Add the LevelledMobs dependency.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.lokka30</groupId>
    <artifactId>LevelledMobs</artifactId>
    <version>REPLACE ME</version>
</dependency>

Replace REPLACE ME with the latest version (not including build number!) of LevelledMobs, e.g. 3.1.0.

Accessing LevelledMobs directly

We offer the LevelInterface class to interact directly with LevelledMobs.

Events

We also offer a bunch of events which you can listen to and modify.

You can prevent mobs from being levelled, run stuff after they have been levelled, and so on.

Javadocs

You may view the javadocs we have compiled so far.

These show our code documentation which we are gradually improving.

Integrating Into Custom Drops

If you want to integrate your plugin directly into LM's custom drop system, we have an API for it. Sample code is below.

    private void testCustomDrops(){
        ItemStack itemStack = new ItemStack(Material.NETHERITE_SWORD);
        ItemMeta meta = itemStack.getItemMeta();
        assert meta != null;
        meta.setDisplayName("Cool Netherite Sword");
        meta.setLore(List.of("Created via API"));
        itemStack.setItemMeta(meta);

        // https://arcaneplugins.github.io/LevelledMobs/3.9.3/me/lokka30/levelledmobs/LevelledMobs.html
        LevelledMobs lm = LevelledMobs.getInstance();

        // https://arcaneplugins.github.io/LevelledMobs/3.9.3/me/lokka30/levelledmobs/customdrops/CustomDropItem.html
        CustomDropItem customDropItem = new CustomDropItem(lm); // must pass instance to LevelledMobs main class
        customDropItem.setItemStack(itemStack);

        // these options correspond to many of the item specific options shown here:
        // https://github.com/ArcanePlugins/LevelledMobs/wiki/Documentation---customdrops.yml
        customDropItem.chance = 1.0F;
        customDropItem.equippedSpawnChance = 1.0F;

        // https://arcaneplugins.github.io/LevelledMobs/3.9.3/me/lokka30/levelledmobs/customdrops/CustomDropInstance.html
        final CustomDropInstance customDropInstance = new CustomDropInstance(EntityType.ZOMBIE);
        customDropInstance.customItems.add(customDropItem);
        // mob specific options can be set on customDropInstance

        lm.customDropsHandler.externalCustomDrops.addCustomDrop(customDropInstance);
        // the drop is now registered just as if it were in customdrops.yml

        main.getLogger().info("Added a new drop for zombie");
    }
