Developer API and Bukkit Events

CraftingEngine provides a clean, modular public API module (craftingengine-api) enabling third-party plugins to initiate processes, register custom action/condition providers, listen to crafting lifecycle events, and query active workstations.

---

1. Maven and Gradle Coordinates

Add the CraftingEngine API dependency to your project:

Gradle (Kotlin DSL - build.gradle.kts)

repositories {
    maven("https://repo.codemc.io/repository/maven-releases/")
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly("dev.darkblade.craftingengine:craftingengine-api:2.8.0")
}

Maven (pom.xml)

<dependency>
    <groupId>dev.darkblade.craftingengine</groupId>
    <artifactId>craftingengine-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.8.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

---

2. Accessing the Service API

Obtain the singleton CraftingEngineAPI instance via Bukkit’s ServicesManager or direct entry point:

import dev.darkblade.craftingengine.api.CraftingEngineAPI;
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;

public class MyPluginIntegration {
    private CraftingEngineAPI api;

    public void onEnable() {
        this.api = Bukkit.getServicesManager().load(CraftingEngineAPI.class);
        if (this.api == null) {
            // Fallback or handle missing plugin
        }
    }
}

---

3. Bukkit Lifecycle Events

CraftingEngine dispatches asynchronous and synchronous Bukkit events throughout the crafting lifecycle:

Event Class	Cancellable	Timing / Trigger
ProcessPreStartEvent	Yes	Dispatched before materials are consumed. Allows cancelling crafts.
ProcessStartedEvent	No	Dispatched immediately after materials are consumed and stages begin.
StageTransitionEvent	No	Dispatched when a process moves from one stage to another.
ProcessCompletedEvent	No	Dispatched when all stages succeed and outputs are generated.
ProcessFailedEvent	No	Dispatched when a process fails, aborts, or is abandoned.

Example: Event Listener

import dev.darkblade.craftingengine.api.event.ProcessPreStartEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;

public class CraftingListener implements Listener {

    @EventHandler
    public void onProcessPreStart(ProcessPreStartEvent event) {
        if (event.getRecipeId().equals("infernal_blade") && !event.getPlayer().hasPermission("myplugin.master")) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            event.setCancelReason("You have not mastered Infernal Forging!");
        }
    }
}

4. Registering Custom Actions and Conditions

You can extend blueprint functionality by registering custom Java condition or action handlers with the RegistryManager:

api.getRegistryManager().registerAction("custom_teleport", (context, args) -> {
    Player player = context.getPlayer();
    Location target = parseLocation(args);
    player.teleport(target);
});
