ChatBuilderLib 1.0.3

ChatBuilderLib
The indispensable chat library
for your plugin​

What is the ChatBuilderLib?

The ChatBuilderLib was developed because I was asking me how I get links or hover effects to the chat. So I searched a lot in the internet and found the Chat-Packet of the minecraft packet protocol. I read it and thought: Wow, that's easy! But I decided to go a step further: How could I translate that difficult packet protocol to classes and makes it easy to use for other developers. Very fast I decided to make it like the StringBuilder of java and ...

here we are!

Information

This plugin was tested on 1.7.* and 1.8.* only! Any lower isn't supported currently!
More help, information and "HowTo's" you can find on https://github.com/Yannici/ChatBuilderLib/wiki

Plugin-Metrics

This plugin uses plugin metrics. Plugin metrics sends anonymous data to mcstats.org to collect data about your server (player amount, server version etc.). With these data I can create statistics how many players/servers uses my plugin. Plugin metrics can be disabled over the config.yml (the configuration) in plugin data folder.

Example

I think a example should be enough for every developer. All features of this builder they can find in the source or jar




Example code for that is:

PHP:

ChatBuilder builder = new ChatBuilder();
builder.appendText(ChatColor.YELLOW + "That is my new ");

ChatElement link = builder.appendText("ChatBuilderLib-Plugin");
link.setClickEvent(ChatClickEventAction.OPEN_URL, "https://github.com/Yannici/ChatBuilderLib");
link.setBold(true);
link.setColor("green");
link.setHoverEvent(ChatHoverEventAction.SHOW_TEXT, ChatColor.AQUA + "YEAH!");
link.setUnderlined(true);

// no attributes
builder.appendText("! ");

// one line
builder.appendText("And I love it!")
.setColor(ChatColor.RED)
.setItalic(true)
.setHoverEvent(ChatHoverEventAction.SHOW_TEXT, ChatColor.GREEN + "SO MUCH!");

// send to player
builder.sendToPlayer(player);
 

You can easily test that example on your server:
1. Download the plugin
2. Enable plugin on your server by copy & paste the downloaded jar file to the plugins folder.
3. Test the example by executing the command /cbl
