[VarScript]
​

Scripting in minecraft on Groovy.

Features​

• execute scripts on Groovy by command
• create script files
• autorun files
• tab-completion for groovy syntax (not full-featured)
• script can register events and timers.
• full access to Bukkit API (or Spigot API) and other plugins
• load maven dependencies in runtime
• download and update git projects

Why Groovy?​

• It is very easy to learn. If you know Java, you are already able to use Groovy.
  
• Fast compilation. Groovy can be used as scripting language in runtime.
  
• Compiles to JVM-bytecode. This ensures a high performance.
• Fully compatible with Bukkit API and Java libraries.
  
• Extensible language: add a new methods to existing java classes, operator overloading, closures
• Very short code (compared to java). You can quickly type code in the console or chat.
  
• Import external libraries from maven in runtime with Grape.

Get Started​

• Download VarScript.jar to plugins/ directory
• start server
• wait until VarScript download dependencies
  At first start it can take a long time! 1-5 minutes
• use command
  /> println "Hello $world.name"

Code examples using syntax extensions​

Code (Groovy):

// teleport Player1 to Player2
Player1 >> Player2

Code (Groovy):

// set your HP to 100
me.maxhp = 100
me.hp = 100

Code (Groovy):

// spawn little zombie near your location
zombie = me.spawn(Zombie)
zombie.baby = true

Code (Groovy):

// give one diamond for all players
players*.give "DIAMOND"
 

Code (Groovy):

// suicide
kill me

You can try these examples in chat/console with /> command, or create file .groovy in folder plugins/VarScript/scripts/ and call it by name.
Command /> allows multiline text input.
