Idofront

Idofront is a set of modules we share between plugins. It includes helpful Minecraft extensions, common dependencies, and more. We have a separate project for gradle conventions, which Idofront references too.

Usage

See the examples module for example usage of each module (WIP). You may manually add dependencies as shown below, or use our version catalog, or depend on Idofront as a platform. See Installation for more info.
