layout

layout

Layout is a modern, modular library designed to simplify the creation and management of interactive inventories in Minecraft using the Bukkit API. It provides a fluid syntax and complete control over your menu's behavior, allowing you to build GUIs quickly and efficiently.

Key Features

Sized and Fixed Inventories

Create inventories of variable size (like chests) or fixed size (like crafting tables and anvils), adapting to your project's needs.

Full Customization

Control every aspect of your menus:

• Interactive Items: Define items with custom click logic for click events (left, right, middle).
• Inventory Behaviors: Assign actions for events like opening, closing, or general clicks within the inventory.
• Flexible Patterns: Design complex menus using character-based patterns to visually organize your items.

Modular Design

The library is divided into modules that facilitate organization and scalability:

• layout: Contains the core logic for inventory construction and management.
• item: Handles the creation and manipulation of items used in inventories.
• plugin: Includes code examples that demonstrate the library's practical use. This module is ideal for learning the syntax and seeing how different concepts are applied.

Developer Benefits

• Rapid Development: Drastically simplifies the menu creation process, allowing you to focus on your plugin's functionality.
• Clean Code: The fluid syntax results in more readable and maintainable code.
• Great Potential: Supports multiple inventory types and behaviors, making it a robust solution for a wide range of plugins.

final LayoutSizedInventory layoutSizedInventory = Layout.sized()
        .title(Component.text("This is a sized example menu!", NamedTextColor.BLACK))
        .size(5)

        // Add a clickable item with multiple click handlers
        .item(22, ClickableItemLayout.builder()
                .material(Material.NETHERITE_PICKAXE)
                .displayName(Component.text("Netherite Pickaxe", NamedTextColor.GREEN))
                .lore(
                        Component.text("Line 1", NamedTextColor.GREEN),
