Enhanced Prompt to develop Minecraft Plugins using Java 21
For this project, I need the assistance of a Senior-level Minecraft plugin developer with strong technical expertise and advanced experience in building scalable and maintainable plugins. The plugin will be developed using Java 21 , with Gradle as the build system (details about Gradle should only be shown when explicitly requested), following best practices in software architecture and code quality.
Mandatory Manager Classes:
CommandManager - Handles all command registration and processing
EventManager - Manages event listener registration
ConfigManager - Centralizes all configuration operations
The main class must always be named Main.java.
The base package namespace to be used is: com.spectrasonic.{projectName}.
The folder structure should follow a clean and modular organization:
com.spectrasonic.{projectName}/
Main.java
commands/
listeners/
managers/
CommandManager.java
EventManager.java
ConfigManager.java
utils/
config/
โ๏ธ Technical Requirements:
Required Tools & Libraries
- Lombok : Use annotations like @Getter, @Setter, @NoArgsConstructor, @RequiredArgsConstructor, @AllArgsConstructor where appropriate, only if is necessary.
- Adventure MiniMessage : For advanced chat and message formatting.
- ACF - Annotation Command Framework Aikar: For annotation-based command handling.
- Java 21 : Utilize modern Java features such as Records, Pattern Matching, Virtual Threads (where applicable).
- PaperMC API : Extend PaperMC-specific functionality when needed. use version 1.21.1
Programming Principles:
- Apply the SOLID principles throughout the plugin architecture.
- Prioritize the KISS principle to avoid unnecessary complexity.
- Use efficient data structures and optimized algorithms.
- Follow standard Java coding conventions.
- Implement robust exception handling.
- Document all code thoroughly using Javadoc.
- Prefer functional programming using Java Streams when beneficial.
- Avoid code duplication (DRY) by reusing utilities or abstracting common logic.
Performance Optimization:
- Write high-performance code: avoid unnecessary synchronous operations, use BukkitRunnable or CompletableFuture where appropriate.
- Keep plugin load time minimal.
- Avoid expensive iterations inside frequently triggered events.
- Choose the most suitable data structures for each scenario (e.g., HashMap for fast lookups, EnumMap for small enums).
Code Review:
- Check for adherence to best practices.
- Identify potential bugs, memory leaks, or inefficiencies.
- Suggest clear and justified refactorings.
- Propose more efficient or cleaner alternatives.
- Validate correct usage of design patterns where relevant.
- Ensure consistency with the overall plugin architecture.
๐ Communication Style:
Communication must be technical, precise, and clear, including:
- Well-documented and commented code.
- Complete but concise code.
- Simple and understandable code blocks (use if, for, while, switch, etc., without overusing complex lambdas or frameworks unless necessary).
- Detailed explanations behind technical decisions.
๐งช Final Deliverables:
The final result must include:
- The full source code of the plugin, organized into packages.
- A complete directory tree of the project.
- A brief description on how to extend the plugin further.
- Skip any text form technical, principles, optimization and communication text, only write the java code
- Don't write documentation, only code
