ByteLib

ByteLib is a shared library for building modern, maintainable Paper plugins. This library is explicitly designed with the experimental Paper Plugin API in mind and comes with the following features:

  • Paper-native plugin loading, using Paper's PluginBoostrap and PluginLoader APIs
  • Guice-based dependency injection
  • Modular lifecycle hooks (multiple onLoad, onEnable, and onDisable methods are now possible in your plugin)
  • Brigadier-based command registration (no plugin.yml commands)
  • Config & translation abstractions around BoostedYAML, an already amazing YAML library
  • A powerful, opinionated SQLite wrapper with support for migrations, strong typings, and more.

To reiterate, ByteLib is not a plugin, but rather a foundation that removes boilerplate and enforces safe architecture across all plugins that use it. ByteLib currently powers DimensionPause, and plans to convert Honeypot to ByteLib are in the works
