Install DaisyCore

DaisyCore is meant to be the one dependency for normal plugin projects. You should not need to pull in platform-command, platform-menu, or the other internal modules directly.

What DaisyCore does not require

You do not need a config-key text system just to get started. Direct strings in DaisyCore-facing text APIs are already MiniMessage-first, and components still work when you want explicit control.

Requirements

Java 21
Kotlin 2.3.x
Paper 1.21.x

Gradle Kotlin DSL

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven("https://repo.papermc.io/repository/maven-public/")
    maven("https://jitpack.io")
}

dependencies {
    implementation("cat.daisy:DaisyCore:0.1.0")
}

Stable release state

0.1.0 is the first stable DaisyCore release. Install only DaisyCore, not the internal platform-* modules.

Stable contract

Bootstrap through DaisyPlatform.create(…), close the platform in onDisable(), and treat tablists as header/footer-only in this release line.

What this gives you

Commands
Menus
Scoreboards
Tablists
Text helpers
Placeholders
Items
Shared runtime plumbing

Normal first-run style

Most plugins start like this:

direct MiniMessage strings for local messages and titles
components when you want explicit control
shared text keys later, when the plugin already stores text in config or lang files

Pair it with DaisySeries when parsing gets config-heavy

If your plugin also needs config-heavy Paper values like materials, sounds, attributes, biomes, particles, or difficulties parsed from friendly strings, pair DaisyCore with DaisySeries.
