TextComponents [Spigot Edition]

A simple TextComponents implementation that provides support for SpigotMC via it's ChatComponent API

This implementation does NOT support CraftBukkit! Furthermore, it will never due to the annoyance of NMS

Implementation Specific Methods

The following methods are added to all IComponents in this implementation:

Name	Parameters	Return Type	Function
sendTo	CommandSender		Sends the component to the provided CommandSender
toSpigot		BaseComponent	Converts the component into a BaseComponent

What doesn't work?

ISelectedComponent

The following methods do not work within this implementation:

#getSeperator(), #setSeperator()

This is due to the limitations of the underlying SelectorComponent and cannot be resolved

I have requested a fix of this in this feature request

ITranslatableComponent (kinda)

The following methods may not work:

#getTranslationFallback(), #setTranslationFallback()

While the underlying api now supports this feature spigot's version of it doesn't seem to have caught up yet. As a result an attempt to modify the field is performed upon calling these methods (for when it's updated) but if that fails an error message is displayed once.

Installation

It is best to use an implementation rather than depending on this as methods for sending messages will not be accessible

TextComponents is available on Maven from either the Official Maven Repository or JitPack

Official Repository

The latest version is hosted on an Official Maven Repository

First include the repository:

<repository>
  <id>bb1-repository-releases</id>
  <name>BradBot_1's Repository</name>
  <url>https://repo.bb1.fun/releases</url>
</repository>

Then add the dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.tubmc</groupId>
  <artifactId>text-components-spigot</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Jitpack

If the official repository is down or you choose not to trust it you can always pull it from JitPack

First include the repository:

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

Then add the dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.BradBot1</groupId>
  <artifactId>text-components-spigot</artifactId>
  <version>LATEST</version>
</dependency>

Local Installation

Just run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/TubMC/TextComponents-Spigot.git
cd TextComponents-Spigot
mvn clean install

It will then be accessible from your local Maven Repoistory

Now you can simply add the following dependency without a repository:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.tubmc</groupId>
  <artifactId>text-components-spigot</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
