Getting Started

1. Clone this Repository

   git clone https://github.com/EndstoneMC/cpp-example-plugin.git

2. Navigate to the Cloned Directory

   cd cpp-example-plugin

3. Build Your Plugin

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
   cmake --build .

   This process will compile your code and produce a shared library that Endstone servers can load.

   Note: If you wish to build against a specific version of Endstone, you can modify the GIT_TAG in the CMakeLists.txt file to point to the desired tag or commit.

4. Test Your Plugin

   Once built, copy the output binary endstone_example_plugin.dll (Windows) or endstone_example_plugin.so (Linux) to the plugins directory of your Endstone server. Start the Endstone server and check the logs to ensure your plugin loads and operates as expected.
