kelp-v0.0.5 - "The player interactions update"
Pre-releaseDear developers! We are happy to announce the brand-new release of kelp at the end of the year. We hope you have had a good & healthy year despite the given circumstances. The next release is going to come by the beginning of 2021 and will mainly focus on a rewrite of the sidebar system and some features related to that.
The aim of this release was to improve interaction opportunities with players and better integration of the KelpPlayer
into your plugins. Therefore we have added
- Different types of text prompts you can use to query input from players. If you need multiple lines of text you can use a Sign GUI, if you only need a single line or only a few words, you can rely on the anvil and chat prompt.
- Methods of interactions with the chat by adding clickable and hoverable messages, called
InteractiveMessage
. You can easily append multiple components per chat line with full support for color and style codes either withChatColor.COLOR
or the standard§code
way. - Boss bars to give more variety for displaying information to your players
- Some small bug fixes and code improvements in style and performance (including wider support for thread-safety)
Still, we would like to point out that Kelp is not yet in a production-ready stage. There have been no performance tests with big amounts of players nor the API code is final. All features are only available in Minecraft 1.8 now. Please be patient or report bugs and issues for further improvement.
