Foundation

Foundation

Foundation™ helps you create highly customized Minecraft plugins (based on Spigot/Paper API) that support multiple MC versions.

1. Import Foundation using Maven/Gradle (see the Importing section).
2. Change “extends JavaPlugin” to “extends SimplePlugin” (we need that to register things and listeners on our end automatically)
3. Change onEnable() to onPluginStart() and onDisable() to onPluginStop() (we occupy these methods to perform logic)
4. If you use a static getInstance() method in your main plugin’s class, change it to return (T) SimplePlugin.getInstance() where T is your plugin instead. Delete the instance of your plugin from your class if you use it (if you have myPlugin = this anywhere, remove it).

For a sample plugin, see PluginTemplate.

A complete tutorial on how to use this library is a part of our Project Orion training available here
