ElvenideCore

ElvenideCore is a comprehensive development framework designed to streamline the creation of Minecraft plugins for PaperMC. It acts as a robust foundation, eliminating repetitive boilerplate code and providing high-level, expressive APIs for commands, items, GUIs, and task management.

Key Features

• Boilerplate Reduction: Replaces traditional Bukkit events and task scheduling with clean, fluent APIs.
• Expressive Command System: A Brigadier-based, object-oriented command API with full support for subcommands and auto-completion.
• Advanced UI Framework: Tools for creating complex, paginated GUI menus without manual slot calculations or math.
• Enhanced Configuration: A drop-in replacement for YAML configs that supports complex Minecraft types like Materials, Sounds, and Colors natively.
• Feature Providers: A modular "Provider" architecture that grants easy access to logging, permissions, tasks, and item builders.

Technology Stack

• Platform: PaperMC (1.21+)
• Language: Java
• Distribution: JitPack (Maven/Gradle)

Getting Started

                 <execution>
                     <phase>package</phase>
                     <goals>
                         <goal>shade</goal>
                     </goals>
                 </execution>
             </executions>
             <configuration>
                 <relocations>
                     <relocation>
                         <pattern>com.elvenide.core</pattern>
                         <shadedPattern>com.your.path.elvenide.core</shadedPattern>
                     </relocation>
                 </relocations>
                 <filters>
                     <filter>
                         <artifact>*:*</artifact>
                         <excludes>
                             <exclude>META-INF/**</exclude>
                         </excludes>
                     </filter>
                 </filters>
             </configuration>
         </plugin>
     </plugins>
   </build>
   

4. Initialize: Set your plugin instance in your onEnable method:

   @Override
   public void onEnable() {
       Core.plugin.set(this);
   }
