Features

The list of main features provided below. For more information, check the documentation (only KDocs for now).

Commands API

Helps with creating commands in your plugin. Allow creating command trees, parse arguments, and more.

Drawing API

Functions to draw shapes with minecraft particles.

Kotlin Extensions

Nearly 20 classes with extensions for Bukkit API classes, which will make your life easier and code cleaner.

GUIs

Few classes to make creating GUIs easier. API is small, so for new versions InvUI is recommended. But for older versions, MineLib GUIs are still useful.

I18n (Internationalization)

Full support for localization in your server. You can create your own messages bundles with your translations and get actual messages in runtime for player`s locale. Almost all features in MineLib support I18n.

Personal Entities

Create entities that are visible only for specific players. This is useful when using I18n or temporary entities.

Holograms

Holograms are built on top of Personal Entities. You can create holograms with text and show them to players.

Movement Detection

Minecraft PlayerMoveEvent is not optimized and might be called too often. MineLib's Movement Detection allows setting the period of time between checking player's movement, and even process events asynchronously.

Services System

MineLib urges every plugin to use the Services System. The Service System forces you to split your plugin into small parts, which makes your code cleaner and easier to maintain. MineLib uses ndkore Services System.

Scheduler

Bukkit scheduler always asks you to pass your plugin instance, haven't you tired of it? MineLib's scheduler already contains your plugin instance and copies all Bukkit scheduler methods, also sorting arguments to support Kotlin lambdas out of parentheses.

Main Plugin Class

MineLib plugin's starts not from JavaPlugin but from ServerPlugin! The main features are:

• Components list, where you can pass your Commands, Listeners and services to be registered.
• Reload support
• Bundled scheduler
