FeliUtils Plugin

Overview

FeliUtils is a technical utility plugin and developer tool. It does not add gameplay features, new items, blocks, or direct changes to the game mechanics. Instead, it works mostly "under the hood" to support the server's infrastructure.

Main Features

• Foundation for Other Plugins:
  Acts as a library (API) for other plugins, allowing developers to handle complex tasks without rewriting the same code multiple times.

• Automated Data Management:
  Tracks player identification, keeping records of which names belong to which UUIDs, and ensures this information is safely stored.

• Simplifying Backend Development:
  Handles player name history and data persistence automatically, allowing developers to focus on game content while FeliUtils manages administrative tasks.

In short, FeliUtils is a developer's toolbox that provides invisible groundwork, ensuring player data is correctly managed and serving as a reliable base for other systems.

Supported Features

• MySQL Support:

  • Saves player data in MySQL databases.
  • Provides MySQL connection support for dependent plugins if configured in config.json, so other plugins do not need to create their own SQL connections.

• Player Info Command (/pinfo):

  • Displays player information:
    • UUID
    • All previous names used to join the server, including join dates
  • Command Permission: feliutils.command.playerinfo

Installation

1. Place the plugin .jar file in your server's plugins folder.
2. Start or restart the server to generate the default config.json.
3. Configure the MySQL connection (optional) in config.json if you want database support.
4. Other plugins can now utilize the library/API functionalities provided by FeliUtils.

Usage for Devs

If you wanna get the last known Player Name or the corresponding UUID for a Player by a name, simply use the PlayerDataProviderService class.

If you want to use the SQL support, you can use the SQLConnectionService class.

Otherwise feel free to play around withe the Uitls classes or ask me on my Discord for help.
