Minecraft प्लगइन CMILib

🔌 About CMILib

CMILib is a shared library plugin for Minecraft servers that centralises common functionality used by other plugins. It exposes utilities and an API for features such as common phrases/messages, hex colour parsing, configuration helpers and other reusable components so plugin authors do not have to reimplement the same code in every plugin.

🎯 Purpose

CMILib exists to reduce duplicated code and lower the size and maintenance burden of dependent plugins. It is intended for plugin developers (especially authors of Zrips plugins) and server operators who run plugins that depend on a shared runtime library.

⚙️ Features

• Centralised message/phrase management and translations.
• Hex colour parsing and text formatting helpers.
• Developer-facing API so other plugins can call shared utilities.
• Creates a configuration folder after first run for library options and translations.
• Auto-update behaviour configurable via the library config.
• Listed as a required library for multiple plugins from the same author.

🧩 Who It Is For

• Plugin developers who want a common API for formatting and localisation.
• Server owners running plugins that explicitly depend on CMILib (for example, several Zrips plugins).

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• A paid or feature-rich plugin delegates message formatting and colour parsing to CMILib instead of implementing its own utilities.
• A server admin installs CMILib so dependent plugins start properly and share consistent language strings.

⚙️ Installation

📥 Setup

• Download the official CMILib jar and place it into the server plugins/ directory.
• It is recommended to stop the server before first installation and keep a full backup.
• Start the server; CMILib will create its configuration folder under plugins/ on first run.
• After the library is loaded, add dependent plugins and start the server again.

📦 Dependencies

• No required plugin dependencies are documented for CMILib itself. It is provided as a common library other plugins depend on.

🧠 Technical Notes

• CMILib is distributed by the repository owner and is required by several plugins from the same author.
• Configuration includes an option that controls automatic update behaviour for the library.
• The plugin is distributed under an "All rights reserved" policy as stated on its resource page.

🤝 When This Plugin Is Useful

If you run one or more plugins that list CMILib as a requirement, installing CMILib centralises shared utilities and ensures those plugins can load and use consistent formatting, localization and API functionality.
