The Bukkit Toolkit is a collaboration of small plugins which act only as developer tools and add nothing to the actual server.
Many plugins have similar core features which are often rewritten by each plugin author. This plugin attempts to extract those core tools to a single plugin. In theory, this will benefit plugin developers in many ways. First, with many developers using the same core tools, the quality of the tools will be guaranteed. Second, plugin developers will not have to waste time programming a tool which is already been created. Finally, plugin dependencies will be simpler for server admins if all small tool plugins are stored as one plugin.
Each tool in the toolkit must follow the following strict guidelines (will expand more later):
All tools are stored under one command: /toolkit
- Every action of a tool must have an associated command
- Every action of a tool must be included in the Bukkit Toolkit API
- A tool must not make any changes to the server or the game. Tools only provide actions for other plugins.
Examples of what qualify as a tool:
- A plugin which draws text in blocks
- A plugin which teleports players
The Bukkit Toolkit is not quite ready to adopt new plugins. Wait until I finish setting things up.
