You have no idea what a vector or matrix is, but you want to give your users some nice effects with particles? No problem. This library comes with a load of effects for you. It handles rotation, text-parsing, and creation of 3D objects with particles in Minecraft.
Find more information on BukkitForums or BukkitDev!
Check out this plugin to demo all the effects:
https://github.com/u9g/effectlib-visualizer
Note that this library is no standalone plugin! You have to create yourself a plugin to run the effects!
See here: https://github.com/elBukkit/EffectLibDemo for a full working example.
It is recommended to shade this plugin into yours. This way, users of your plugin do not need to install EffectLib separately.
This easy to do with Maven. First, add the elMakers repository:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>Maven Central</id>
<url>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/</url>
</repository>
<!-- Use this repository ONLY if you need snapshot builds -->
<repository>
<id>elMakers</id>
<url>http://maven.elmakers.com/repository/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Then, add the EffectLib dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.elmakers.mine.bukkit</groupId>
<artifactId>EffectLib</artifactId>
<version>10.2</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
Note the "compile" scope!
Finally, add the Maven shade plugin:
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<configuration>
<minimizeJar>false</minimizeJar>
<dependencyReducedPomLocation>${project.build.directory}/dependency-reduced-pom.xml</dependencyReducedPomLocation>
<relocations>
<!-- Other relocations can go here, e.g. bstats -->
<relocation>
<pattern>de.slikey</pattern>
<shadedPattern>my.own.plugin.namespace.slikey</shadedPattern>
</relocation>
</relocations>
<filters>
<filter>
<artifact>com.elmakers.mine.bukkit:EffectLib</artifact>
<excludes>
<exclude>plugin.yml</exclude>
<exclude>META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</exclude>
</excludes>
</filter>
</filters>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
Make sure to change the "shadedPattern" to match the base package of your own plugin!
To use EffectLib via gradle just add
implementation 'com.elmakers.mine.bukkit:EffectLib:10.2'
To your build.gradle file, remember to change version to the latest version, you can find the latest version in the maven area above.
