Mimic v0.8.0

PlayerInventory API

This version introduces new experimental PlayerInventory API.
For now, it can be used only to get player's inventory content and equipped items.
It can be useful for integration with plugins providing custom player inventory.

// Get player's inventory
Mimic mimic = Mimic.getInstance();
BukkitPlayerInventory inventory = mimic.getPlayerInventory(player);

// Get items equipped on the player
List<ItemStack> equippedItems = inventory.getEquippedItems();
// Get not equipped items stored in the inventory
List<ItemStack> storedItems = inventory.getStoredItems();
// Get both equpped and not equipped items
List<ItemStack> allItems = inventory.getItems();

This API is experimental, so it can be changed further.
I'll do my best to save backward compatibility but in some cases it is not possible.
It also means I'm open for ideas how to improve this API to make it more useful.
Please, write me in Discord or file an issue if you have any ideas.

Mimic v0.7

This version has issues breaking compatibility with Minecraft 1.13 - 1.16.5, please use v0.7.1 instead.

BE CAREFUL!
This update brings breaking changes for ClassSystem and LevelSystem registration.
Please verify levels and classes integrations works properly after update to Mimic v0.7.

New implementations registration API

Registration via ServiceManager is deprecated because it was error-prone and not intuitive.
Since now, you should use class Mimic to register or get APIs implementations.

Mimic mimic = Mimic.getInstance();

// Register ItemsRegistry implementation
mimic.registerItemsRegistry(new MyItemsRegistry(), MimicApiLevel.CURRENT, plugin);

// Get items registry imlpementation
BukkitItemsRegistry registry = mimic.getItemsRegistry();

New mechanism allows maintaining better backward compatibility for APIs implementations.
It also allows users to select preferred APIs implementation via config.

API Changes

• Added default implementations for MimicService methods:
  • isEnabled() returns true by default
  • getId() returns lowercase plugin name by default
• Breaking change! ID should contain only lowercase Latin letters and digits (a-z, 0-9).
• Breaking change! BukkitClassSystem.Provider and BukkitLevelSystem.Provider converted to interface instead of abstract classes.
  If you want to use ID different from plugin name, you should override getId() method.
• BukkitClassSystem.Provider and BukkitLevelSystem.Provider are functional interfaces since now.

Plugin changes

• Added config file allowing to specify preferred APIs implementations.
• Fixed errors in case when commands used from console.

  }
