Experimental Project: Use JavaScript for Bukkit Plugin Development.

It is still actively under development. This is an experimental project, and we do not recommend using it in a production environment until a stable version is released.

Overview

Welcome to js4bukkit, an innovative project enabling Bukkit plugin development using the expressive power of JavaScript.

This framework allows developers to craft feature-rich plugins, including event listeners, commands, and Placeholder API compatibility—all in the elegant syntax of JavaScript.

Please note that js4bukkit is currently in active development, and while it promises a dynamic and flexible approach to plugin development, it's recommended for experimental use and not yet suitable for production environments.

Features

While js4bukkit is still in its early stages of development, here are some of the planned features that will be implemented in future releases:

• JavaScript-First Development: Unleash the capabilities of JavaScript for crafting Bukkit plugins effortlessly.

• External dependencies loading: You can easily invoke third-party libraries by placing the JAR files or directly providing Maven dependencies; they will be automatically resolved.

• Event Listeners: Define responsive event listeners using JavaScript to handle a variety of in-game events.

• Easy Event Listener Concept: Introducing the concept of Easy Event Listener, an experimental approach optimizing listener creation for repeated events. This encourages modularity and prevents code accumulation.

• Command Integration: Implement custom commands seamlessly using JavaScript to elevate server functionality.

• Placeholder API Harmony: Effortlessly integrate with Placeholder API for dynamic information display within messages.

• Plugin Lifecycle Management: Implement features for better control over plugin activation, deactivation, and reloading.

• Enhanced Scripting API: Expand the available scripting API to cover a broader range of Bukkit functionalities.

• Advanced Configuration Options: Provide more flexibility in configuring and customizing plugin behavior.

• Documentation Enrichment: Continuously improve and expand the documentation to assist developers in utilizing the full potential of js4bukkit.

• NMS Support: Provide a user-friendly reflective library for easy NMS manipulation without the need for complex code.

Italic indicates to-do items; we will update these features soon.

Disclaimer

js4bukkit is an experimental project with many planned features yet to be implemented. Use it cautiously, and avoid deployment in production environments until it reaches a stable release.
