AlpineCore

Alpine Core

A lightweight library for creating modern yet widely compatible Minecraft server plugins.

> This library is currently in an early state of development and breaking changes will occur.

Inspired by MassiveCore, the project has a few key goals:

• Reduce boilerplate
• Integrate modern technologies
• Adventure
• LiteCommands
• ConfigLib
• Maintain high compatibility
• Java 8 minimum
• Minecraft 1.8.8 minimum
• Spigot minimum

Systems

The project consists of the following core systems:

• Engines
• Extended from AlpineEngine
• An event listener that is automatically registered
• Integrations
• Extended from AlpineIntegration
• Engines that only activate under configurable conditions, such as the presence of an external plugin
• Configurations
• Extended from AlpineConfig
• A collection of settings that is automatically registered and persisted
• Utilizes a fork of Exlll's ConfigLib to provide a smooth configuration experience for both developers and administrators
• Pre-written integrations with common configuration use cases, including messages compatible with Kyori's Adventure
• Storage
• Extended from AlpineStore
• Handles persistent key + data pairs backed by a configurable storage system
• Commands
• Extended from AlpineCommand
• A server command that is automatically registered
• Includes a more convenient API for registering completions and conditions
• Utilizes LiteCommands to enable the efficient creation of complex command structures
• User Interfaces
• Provides an advanced inventory GUI framework designed for simplicity, with recipe-like slot mask configuration for element placement
• Allows the efficient creation of interactive user interfaces in the plugin
• Utilizes UIHandler to initialize the menu to handle user interactions
• Teleportation
• Managed by TeleportManager
• Provides a centralized system for point-to-point teleportation
• Curate a teleportation sequence with the TeleportTask builder
• Handle the lifecycle of a teleportation request, from initialization to the execution
• Add a countdown, event handlers, & cancellation policies
• Events
• Extended from AlpineEvent
• A generic Bukkit event, minus the boilerplate

For Developers

The library can be added as a dependency to your Gradle buildscript like so:

repositories {
    maven {
        name 'Alpine Public'
        url 'https://lib.alpn.cloud/alpine-public'
    }
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly 'co.crystaldev:alpinecore:0.4.9'
}

All classes and methods that are part of the API should have Javadocs. If one does not, open an issue. There is also a very basic example plugin located in this repository.

Keep in mind that using this library will require it to be added as a plugin on any server using your plugin. DO NOT shade it into your own plugin.

For Server Admins

Any plugin built using this library will require you to add it as a plugin to your server. On its own it does nothing.

The plugin has been explicitly verified to work on releases ranging from 1.8 to 1.21.
