# Takion Takion is a comprehensive Spigot library designed to streamline the development of text and chat-related plugins for Minecraft servers. It provides a robust set of tools and utilities to manage messaging, logging, placeholder replacement, and more, making it an essential core for enhancing chat interactions within Minecraft. ## Purpose Takion aims to simplify the creation and management of chat-based functionalities in Minecraft plugins. It serves as a foundational library that developers can leverage to implement advanced text and chat features efficiently. ## Features ### Logging - **TakionLogger**: Provides advanced logging capabilities with dynamic message formatting, colorization, and integration with external APIs (e.g., Paper and Prismatic). - Supports both server-level and plugin-specific logs. ### Channel Management - **ChannelManager**: Manages communication channels, defining and identifying different channels for player interactions. ### Title Management - **TitleManager**: Configures and displays titles to players, with customizable fade-in, stay, and fade-out durations. ### Placeholder Management - **PlaceholderManager**: Dynamically replaces tokens in messages with actual values, facilitating personalized and context-aware messaging. ### Character Management - **CharacterManager**: Handles text alignment and formatting, including support for small capital conversions and custom character lengths. ### Messaging - **MessageSender**: Sends formatted messages to players, with support for placeholders and advanced text processing. ### Text Processing - Utilizes **PrismaticAPI**, **StringApplier**, and related utilities for colorization and string modifications, enabling rich text formatting. ## Installation ### Maven To include Takion in your project, add the following repository and dependency to your `pom.xml`: ```xml croabeast-repo https://croabeast.github.io/repo/ me.croabeast Takion 1.2 me.croabeast Takion-shaded 1.2 * * ``` ### Gradle To include Takion in your project, add the following to your `build.gradle`: ```groovy repositories { maven { url 'https://croabeast.github.io/repo/' } } dependencies { implementation 'me.croabeast:Takion:1.2' // If you want a shaded version with all its dependencies compiled, select this implementation 'me.croabeast:Takion-shaded:1.2' } ``` ## Usage ### Initialization Initialize TakionLib in your plugin's `onEnable` method: ```java @Override public void onEnable() { TakionLib lib = new TakionLib(this); // Additional initialization code... } ``` ### Sending Messages Send a message to a player: ```java lib.getLoadedSender().addPlaceholder("{player}", player.getName()) .send("Hello, {player}! Welcome to our server."); ``` ### Displaying Titles Format a title and send it to a player: ```java lib.getTitleManager().builder("Welcome", "Enjoy your stay!").send(player); ``` ### Character Management Use the `CharacterManager` to manage text alignment and formatting: ```java String alignedText = lib.getCharacterManager().align("Centered Text"); player.sendMessage(alignedText); ``` ### CollectionBuilder Example of using `CollectionBuilder`: ```java List list = CollectionBuilder.of("Item1", "Item2", "Item3").toList(); player.sendMessage(String.join(", ", list)); ``` ## Dependencies Takion includes several dependencies that are included within the library (compiled in the shaded version), so you don't need to add them separately. The primary dependencies are: - [**PrismaticAPI**](https://github.com/CroaBeast/PrismaticAPI): For colorization and text modifications. - [**CommandFramework**](https://github.com/CroaBeast/CommandFramework): For handling commands. - [**AdvancementInfo**](https://github.com/CroaBeast/AdvancementInfo): For handling advancement information. - [**YAML-API**](https://github.com/CroaBeast/YAML-API): For YAML configuration support. - [**InventoryFramework**](https://github.com/stefvanschie/IF): For managing and interacting with Minecraft inventories. > Note: UpdateChecker was originally created by Choco.
