DesertWell is a simple library providing various utilities to aid Minecraft plugin development. Requires Java 11+.

## Features
### About menus
`AboutMenu.class` allows for the generation of plugin about menus, as seen above.
To create an about menu, use `AboutMenu#create(title)` with the resource name, then use the various builder methods to
build out the menu.
```java
public class ExamplePlugin extends JavaPlugin {
// Displays the about menu to the player and logs it to console
public void showAboutMenu(Player player) {
final AboutMenu menu = AboutMenu.create("Example")
.withDescription("A powerful, intuitive and flexible teleportation suite")
.withVersion(Version.fromString(plugin.getDescription().getVersion()))
.addAttribution("Author",
AboutMenu.Credit.of("William278").withDescription("Click to visit website").withUrl("https://william278.net"))
.addAttribution("Contributors",
AboutMenu.Credit.of("Contributor 1").withDescription("Code, refactoring")
.addAttribution("Translators",
AboutMenu.Credit.of("Translator 1").withDescription("Spanish (es-es)"),
AboutMenu.Credit.of("Translator 1").withDescription("Italian (it-it)")
.addButtons(
AboutMenu.Link.of("https://william278.net/").withText("Wesbite").withIcon("⛏"),
AboutMenu.Link.of("https://discord.gg/tVYhJfyDWG").withText("Discord").withIcon("⭐").withColor("#6773f5"))));
// Display the menu to the player
player.spigot().sendMessage(menu.toMineDown().toComponents());
// Use #toString to get a console-friendly version of the menu
getLogger().info(AboutMenu.toString());
}
}
```
### Version
`Version.class` provides a simple way to compare semantic plugin and Minecraft versions. `VersionChecker.class` provides
a utility for querying Spigot resources for the latest version of a plugin and comparing with the current version in
order to check for updates.
```java
public class ExamplePlugin extends JavaPlugin {
// Checks for updates and logs to console
public void checkForUpdates() {
final int spigotResourceId = 97144;
final UpdateChecker updateChecker = UpdateChecker.create(Version.fromString("1.0.0"), spigotResourceId);
updateChecker.isUpToDate().thenAccept(upToDate -> {
if (upToDate) {
getLogger().info("Running the latest version (" + updateChecker.getCurrentVersion() + ").");
} else {
getLogger().info("An update is available! Download from: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/" + spigotResourceId);
}
});
}
}
```
## Installation
DesertWell is available on JitPack. You can browse the Javadocs [here](https://javadoc.jitpack.io/net/william278/DesertWell/latest/javadoc/).
Note that your plugin will also need to shade (or shade a library that includes) [MineDown](https://github.com/Phoenix616/MineDown).
### Maven
To include the library with Maven, in your `pom.xml` file, first add the JitPack repository:
```xml
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>jitpack.io</id>
<url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
```
Then, add the dependency in your `<dependencies>` section. Remember to replace `Tag` with the current DesertWell version.
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>net.william278</groupId>
<artifactId>DesertWell</artifactId>
<version>Tag</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
```
### Gradle & others
JitPack has a [handy guide](https://jitpack.io/#net.william278/DesertWell/#How_to) for how to use the dependency with other build platforms.
