DPC Conventions

This repository documents the standards and conventions used across DPC (Dans Plugins Community) projects. It uses Medieval Factions as the flagship reference implementation.

The goal is to bring every plugin in the organization to the same level of completeness and quality as Medieval Factions.

Contents

• README Structure – Standard sections every DPC plugin README should contain
• Documentation Practices – What to document and where (in-repo files vs. wiki)
• Contributing Standards – What a complete CONTRIBUTING.md should include
• Testing and CI – Testing practices and continuous-integration setup
• Release Automation – GitHub Action to build and attach a JAR to a release
• GitHub Copilot Instructions – Required .github/copilot-instructions.md file that gives Copilot context about each plugin
• GitHub Coding Agent Prompt – Ready-to-use prompt for aligning a plugin repo with these conventions

Reference Implementation
