BeastLib Plugin pre Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21.1

🐻 BeastLib

Core Library for All Beast Plugins

Libs used by my plugins!

You don't need to install it if you don't use BeastWithdraw, BeastWithdraw Plus, BeastTokens, or any other plugin made by me.

This library makes my other plugin jar files smaller and removes repetitive code.

⚠️ Important – Dependency Plugin

❗ BeastLib is a library plugin and does nothing on its own. It is required for Beast plugins to work properly.

If you are not using any Beast plugin, you do NOT need to install BeastLib.

✨ What BeastLib Provides

BeastLib contains shared systems used across all Beast plugins:

• ✅ NBT utilities for safe item data storage
• ✅ Advanced item builder & lore formatter
• ✅ Version-compatible material handling (1.8 – 1.21)
• ✅ Database support (HikariCP optimized pooling)
• ✅ JSON utilities (Gson / JSON-Simple)
• ✅ NBT-API integration
• ✅ XSeries compatibility layer
• ✅ Optimized shared managers
• ✅ Reusable command framework
• ✅ Internal API for plugin expansion
• ✅ Lightweight & performance optimized

🚀 Why BeastLib Exists

Instead of bundling the same systems inside every plugin, BeastLib centralizes:

• Database systems
• NBT systems
• Formatting utilities
• Version abstraction
• Shared managers

This results in:

• ✔ Smaller plugin jar sizes
• ✔ Cleaner architecture
• ✔ Faster updates
• ✔ Easier maintenance
• ✔ Long-term scalability

📦 Supported Minecraft Versions

1.8 – 1.21 Full multi-version compatibility.
