  • Document hoverItem and texttest, and drop the immutable-prototype claim Nine places said the ItemBuilder prototype is immutable. The reference is final and the ItemStack is not: the constructor stores the stack it is given without copying, and getPrototype() returns that same instance, so mutating it changes every item the builder produces. Checked at pre-v5.0.0-alpha.18 as well, where the constructor and getter are byte for byte the same, so the alpha.17 page was not period-accurate either and is corrected rather than left alone. VersionedComponent#hoverItem had no page at all. Two constraints decide whether a plugin using it works, so both are stated where a reader meets the method: it throws on 1.17 through 1.18.1, which have neither the pre-1.17 item NBT nor an Adventure of their own, and on 1.8 through 1.12 the hover carries id, count and tag alone, so a top-level Damage value has nowhere to go and red wool hovers as white. Name, lore and enchantments are inside tag and survive. The Text page also now says hovers and clicks arrive below 1.18.2, where the component is handed to the server's own bungee-chat. /kc texttest is documented beside the other diagnostics on the NmsAPI page, both modes: the console assertions with their PASS, FAIL and RESULT lines, and the player pass that answers the question a wire assertion cannot. Four gaps that the code is now correct enough to describe: the glow methods and what setGlow(false) does not do, the two drag toggles and their true defaults, the space-to-underscore rule for modules.<name> and features.<name>, and the plugins/<plugin>/internal/adventure.jar path a server owner sees below 1.18.2, on both pages that describe the nested jar without saying where it goes.

  • Fix seven errors the third verification pass found The Database example did not compile. It called getLogger(), which Database does not have: the class implements DatabaseListener and its whole surface is the constructor, shutdown, getConnection, three final callbacks and the two abstract log methods. shared-jar has no Bukkit either, so JavaPlugin's logger was not in scope by any route. The example now brings its own java.util.logging.Logger and the page says why. The shading page omitted commons-lang3 from the list of transitives a spigot-utils consumer must relocate. It arrives through commons-text, which declares it at compile scope, and spigot-jar relocates it under its own spigot-utils heading. A reader relocating exactly the seven listed would have shipped it unrelocated, which is the collision that paragraph exists to prevent. EntityMethodsPre_1_13 was listed as removed. It is in the published spigot-nms 1.2.32 jar at 6260 bytes and on every consumer's compile classpath; it left the documented api surface and the aggregated javadoc, which is not the same thing. MaterialData and EventManager really are absent, so those rows stand. Four signatures named KMessageSingle where v5 takes VersionedComponent, on CommandPaging.getPage and setHelpComments, which contradicted the KamiCommand page getting it right. CommandPage should have been CommandPaging in two places. Txt titleizedPageTitle lost its List args parameter in alpha.50 and the page had not caught up. And the subsystem failure note quoted only the module log line, while FeatureManager logs "Can not register the feature", so a reader whose feature was silently absent would have grepped for a string that never appears.

  • Correct the topic pages against the source A verification pass traced every claim on the seven topic pages back to code. Twenty-eight corrections, grouped by what went wrong. Four notes labelled "Migrating from v4" described changes that were actually v3 to v4, so a v4 reader was told to fix code that already compiles: perform() gaining its CommandContext parameter, the addParameter overloads collapsing into the builder, the registration helpers becoming plural, and the menu package moving out of gui. All four were already in place at tag 4.0.0. I wrote them from the v3 pages without checking which version introduced them. Two claims were inverted. defaultCommentsOverwrite reads the other way round: true lets the server-side comment win, not the bundled one. And sequences do not throw on write; a read of a sequence whose entries are mappings throws, which also means building a config with defaults over such a file throws from the constructor. Three were stale, already fixed by earlier releases: data being ignored for multi-material icons, an nbt block being skipped without warning, and a bad material in a list vanishing silently. The rest are ordinary errors of fact. SimpleMenu's extra constructor takes three arguments rather than four and exists only in the MenuSize flavour. OneClickMenu's used-click flag is reset by open() alone, not by reopenMenu. Nothing closes a OneClickMenu automatically. The materials and types list keys are read by MenuIconLoader only, so a plain ItemBuilder.load of a section defining materials throws. An invalid inventory type is ignored silently rather than warned about. getLabel drives the help title but not the page-flip arrows, which build from aliases. CachedConfig is abstract. getFile and save moved on AbstractConfig and MemorySectionMethods, not on the handler. amount is coerced from a quoted string after all, and hideAttributes' flag rename is a no-op because XSeries maps both names to one flag. Two pages now say what actually happens when a subsystem cannot resolve its config: the failure is caught and logged by the subsystem manager, so the plugin enables and the subsystem simply never runs.

  • Replace the "is what X uses" construction with direct statements Six sentences built a fact as a relative clause hanging off another fact instead of stating it. "getLabel() is new in v5 and is what the help title and page-flip arrows use, so a command reached through two aliases produces the right text for each" now reads "getLabel() is new in v5. It is used internally for the help title and the page-flip arrows, so a command reached through two aliases renders correctly under each one." The same shape appeared on the Java Versions, Menus, Menu Configuration, Subsystems and New APIs pages. All rewritten to name the subject and use a plain verb.

  • Drop the em dashes, and stop discouraging a supported shading path Ninety-six em dashes across seventeen pages, plus four en dashes in version ranges and a handful of filler words. All removed, rewritten as periods, commas or restructured sentences rather than swapped for another dash. The formal, informative tone and the existing page structure are unchanged. The Spigot module guidance was also wrong in framing. It presented spigot-utils and spigot-jar as two deployment models where one was recommended and the other merely tolerated, and said outright that spigot-jar "can be shaded, but you inherit all 19 MB". Shading spigot-jar is a supported path that works when wired up correctly, and the page now says so. There are three options, not two: shade spigot-utils for a smaller payload, depend on spigot-jar when the plugin is already installed on the server, or shade spigot-jar to take the whole toolkit in one dependency with no relocation work. The third gets its own section with the PluginSource wiring, and the Getting Started decision table gets a third row. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>

  • Document v5: entry pages, topic pages, and the changes since alpha.20 The v5 section had no topic pages at all. Its only feature documentation was the nine v3 pages, which teach APIs that v4 and v5 both replaced, so anyone following the only documentation that existed wrote code that did not compile. Getting Started was a placeholder reading "API documentation and getting started content will be added here". Fifteen new pages. Three cover setup: how to depend on the library, which of the six modules to pick, what shading obliges you to do, and the Java 8 floor with its one Java 11 exception. Seven replace the v3 topic pages for KamiPlugin, KamiCommand, menus, menu configuration, ItemBuilder, configuration and subsystems. Five cover ground the wiki has never had in any version: the VersionedComponent text API, which Adventure a server actually uses and where the 1.18.2 boundary falls, NmsAPI, Redis and Database. The migration guide had three entries that were actively wrong rather than missing. It told readers to update imports to three integration classes that a later section of the same page said were removed. It presented MaterialData to XMaterialData as a rename when five things differ, one of them silently because XMaterialData has no equals or hashCode. And it named the EventManager removal without saying that no replacement exists, so the seven lines of removed logic are now published for reimplementation. Four omitted changes were added, of which AbstractBlockUtil.setBlock is a hard compile break. Everything after alpha.20 was documented nowhere. Readers coming from 4.0.0 are routed to the topic pages, since for them it is new capability rather than renames. Readers who tracked the pre-releases get a dedicated alpha.20 to 5.0.0 guide covering the whole window. Written as though 5.0.0 is live, so no dated stamps outside the historical alpha.17 page, version placeholders rather than hardcoded numbers, and the Home status no longer says active development. A review against the source caught nineteen defects before this landed, most of them examples that would not compile: the shading bootstrap was wrong on three pages, registerModule was documented taking a class when it takes an instance, and ConfigObserver's package was wrong everywhere it appeared. All are corrected here. Every internal link and cross-page anchor is verified, including three v3 links that were missing their v3 prefix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
