Plugin Development Reference

Welcome to the Xinbot Plugin Development Manual. Xinbot features a highly decoupled, plugin-based architecture that allows developers to extend almost every functionality of the bot using simple Java code.

🚀 Core Documentation

• Plugin Lifecycle: Setup your project and master lifecycle hooks like onEnable.
• Event System: Listen to 20+ built-in events including chat, login, and player updates.
• Command System: Add custom console commands with tab completion and real-time highlighting.
• Packet Handling: Go low-level and handle raw Minecraft protocol packets.

💡 Development Tips

• Java Version: Java 17 or newer is required.
• Dependencies: Maven or Gradle is recommended for project management.
• Study Source Code: Examining the existing plugin infrastructure in the Xinbot source code, or referring to official open-source plugins like MovementSync, is the best way to learn advanced usage.
