⚙️ Installation

✅ Requirements

• Java 21
• Paper 1.21.11

The project is built against Paper 1.21.11. Other versions may work, but compatibility outside that target is not guaranteed by the current repository state.

📦 Gradle Kotlin DSL

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven("https://jitpack.io")
}

dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.thelipe7:command-lib:TAG")
}

📦 Gradle Groovy DSL

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url = 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.thelipe7:command-lib:TAG'
}

📦 Maven

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.thelipe7</groupId>
        <artifactId>command-lib</artifactId>
        <version>TAG</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Replace TAG with a Git tag, release version, or commit hash from this repository.

🧱 Creating the Manager

Create a single CommandManager during plugin startup:

public final class ExamplePlugin extends JavaPlugin {

    private CommandManager commandManager;

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        commandManager = new CommandManager(this, true);
    }

}

⌨️ Automatic Tab Completion Registration

new CommandManager(plugin, true) automatically registers CommandTabCompleteManager, the built-in async tab completion listener.

Use false when:

• you want to install your own tab completion manager
• you want to disable the default listener
• you want manual control over listener registration

Example:

CommandManager manager = new CommandManager(this, false);
manager.setTabCompleteManager(new CommandTabCompleteManager(manager));

📝 What the Library Does not Need

For commands managed by command-lib, you do not need to keep large command declarations in plugin.yml, because the framework registers commands at runtime through Bukkit's CommandMap.
