This API is aimed primarily at plugin-makers or beginner addon developers.

The primary goal is to try and simplify most of the dull or complex tasks that are required in addon/plugin creation.

I use it in production, which is pretty much a guarantee that I will keep it updated.
Almost no features rely on Minecraft version-specific methods so it ought to work on almost any version.

Note: You probably want to get this via the repository, the jar itself won't be much help. :emoji_slight_smile:

Gradle
I don't know how Gradle handles package mapping.
I'm sure you can work this out for yourselves.

This seems to be the most popular feature, so I've tried to provide some documentation.

Mask contains a simplified config handler that makes use of annotations.
This can be used to easily serialise/de-serialise your config.

To use, implement the 'Config' interface.

An example config can be seen here:
https://gitlab.com/Pandaemonium/Mask/-/blob/master/src/examples/java/com/moderocky/example/config/ExampleConfig.java

Remember: by default, your field-names are converted from camelCase to snake_case to provide the yaml key.
If you want to change this, you can use the @Keyed annotation to specify something else.

Available annotations:
Code:
@Configurable // marks this field to be mapped
@Bounded // sets bounds for a number field
@Keyed // allows a custom yaml key to be used
@Regex // passes string input through a matcher
@Comment // allows a comment to be left
@Serialise // currently does nothing, will soon allow a custom (de)serialising method to be used
@Header // attaches to the class, specify yaml header comments

Other basic examples can be found here: https://gitlab.com/Pandaemonium/Mask/-/tree/master/src/examples
I will try to remember to add more as I add more features.

I love it! I especially like the configuration annotations, it makes config files so much simpler and neater to make and use! I'd honestly recommend Mask for anyone who's making a plugin in the first place, Skript addon or otherwise :D
Woaw, Perfect timing, The time that i was making an addon you made this now i'm using this
