MGLib is a library designed with ease-of-use in mind, and made to assist plugin developers in creating minigame plugins. Generally speaking, almost all minigame plugins have the same basic functionality built into them. However, this basic functionality (e.g. round management) takes a lot of time to create. If all the core code is effectively the same, why not just use the same exact code instead of rewriting it every time? This is where MGLib comes into play. MGLib provides an API for minigame plugins to use, so that they don't need to write it themselves. This can drastically reduce the size and time investment of individual plugins. MGLib boasts an easy-to-use and understand API, paired with a large featureset, with more functionality being planned and implemented every day.
I've written up a tutorial on BukkitDev detailing exactly how to build your own plugin using the library. I don't want to convert it to Markdown or maintain two copies, so for now I must ask you to use that tutorial for reference.
Additionally, the library has official documentation compiled automatically by my build server for each commit. Feel free to reference that or the documentation for any other build while using MGLib.
MGLib uses Gradle as its build system. To clone and build the plugin from scratch:
git clone https://github.com/caseif/mglibcd mglibcp scripts/* .git/hooks./gradlew(gradleworsh ./gradlewon Windows)
Have an idea for MGLib? Know how to Java? Awesome! First, be sure the idea follows MGLib's goals as a library. While it is indeed very high-level, certain functionalities should still be left to the authors of the minigame plugins themselves (e.g. something such as a gun system). Once you're certain your idea adheres to this guideline, fork the repo and go to town implementing it, then submit a pull request when it's finished. If I like what you've done, I'll merge it with the master branch, and it'll show up in the next version of the library!
Don't know how to Java? You can still contribute by creating an issue on Github. Just describe what you want added in detail, and I'll review it and possibly add it to the library. As is the case with pull requests, you should verify that the suggestion meets MGLib's goals.
I want to make MGLib available in as many languages as possible. If you know a language other than English, you can help translate the plugin on the Crowdin page.
