📌 About CraftEngine
CraftEngine redefines plugin architecture as a next-generation solution for custom content implementation. Its JVM-level injection delivers unprecedented performance, stability, and extensibility. The framework provides a code-first API for registering natively integrated block behaviors and item interaction logic.
Technical Overview
⚙️ Blocks
The plugin employs runtime bytecode generation to register custom blocks at the server-native level, combined with client-side data packet modification for visual synchronization. This architecture provides:
🧱 Native Block Customization
- Dynamically register blocks with complete control over
- Physics: hardness, flammability, light emission, etc.
- Custom Behaviors: Tree saplings, crops, falling blocks, and more via API
- Vanilla Compatibility: Full preservation of vanilla block mechanism (e.g., note blocks, tripwires)
📦 Data Pack Integration
- Define custom ore veins
- Generate custom trees
- Configure custom terrain generation
⚡ Performance Advantages
- Significantly faster and stabler than traditional Bukkit event listeners
- Strategic code injection for minimal overhead
🥘 Recipes
CraftEngine implements a fully customizable crafting system via low-level injection. Unlike conventional plugins that fail with NBT modifications, it ensures resilient handling of item metadata - recipe outcomes remain exclusively tied to unique item identifiers.
🪑 Furniture
The plugin utilizes a core entity to store furniture metadata, while transmitting collision entities and modular components as client-bound packets. This architecture achieves significant server-side performance optimization, while supporting composite furniture assembly through multi-part item integration.
📝 Templates
Given the extensive and intricate nature of plugin configurations, a modular template system is implemented to compartmentalize critical settings. This enables user-customizable configuration formats while significantly minimizing redundant YAML definitions.
🛠️ Models
The plugin enables model inheritance and texture overrides through configuration, while supporting all item models from version 1.21.4 onward. It incorporates a version migration system that automatically downgrades 1.21.4+ item models to legacy formats with maximum backward compatibility.
