Minecraft plugin BlueSlimeCore

🔌 About BlueSlimeCore

BlueSlimeCore is a library-style Minecraft plugin intended as a shared foundation for other plugins. It bundles server-facing utility commands and a developer-facing API that simplifies common tasks (configuration, language/messages, menus, item builders, version handling) so authors can reuse functionality across multiple plugins.

🎯 Purpose

The plugin solves duplication of common plugin infrastructure: it centralizes configuration management, language handling, menu creation, multiversion compatibility helpers, and a small set of admin utility commands so dependent plugins can focus on features instead of boilerplate.

⚙️ Features

• Developer API for configuration and language management (per-player language support, MiniMessage, PlaceholderAPI).
• Menu API for creating inventories, buttons, and paged menus.
• Item builder utilities for items, leather armor, potions, and player heads.
• Multiversion/NMS helpers for entity spawning, health/absorption, cooldown packets, and TPS checks.
• Factions handler API to aid compatibility with multiple Factions implementations.
• Plugin update checking for SpigotMC or Hangar.
• Small server utility commands for inspecting items and debugging event listeners.

🧩 Who It Is For

• Plugin developers who want a reusable foundation for common server functionality.
• Server administrators running multiple SirBlobman plugins or other plugins that depend on BlueSlimeCore utilities.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• A developer uses the menu API to build a shop interface without writing inventory handling from scratch.
• An admin uses item-to-nbt to inspect an item's NBT data for debugging.
• A plugin integrates the factions handler to support multiple Factions implementations with a single integration layer.

⌨️ Commands

⚙️ Installation

📥 Setup

• Download the official BlueSlimeCore jar and place it into your server plugins/ directory.
• Ensure the server runs a supported Spigot/Paper/Folia build and start or restart the server.
• Verify the plugin loaded by checking the server console for BlueSlimeCore startup messages.

📦 Dependencies

• Requires Java 25 (server JVM requirement confirmed by the project repository).

🧠 Technical Notes

• Confirmed supported server software: Spigot, Paper, Folia.
• The project exposes APIs intended for other plugin developers; install the BlueSlimeCore jar on any server that runs plugins depending on it.
• The repository is licensed under GPL-3.0.

🤝 When This Plugin Is Useful

If you maintain multiple plugins or develop features that rely on common server utilities (menus, messages, multiversion support), BlueSlimeCore reduces duplicated code and provides a consistent API surface for server and plugin maintainers.
