Configure project dependencies

Use this guide to add ClockTime as a project dependency to build plugins that integrate with ClockTime.

Preconditions

• A Java/Kotlin development project using Gradle (Kotlin or Groovy DSL) or Maven.
• The project configured to compile against Minecraft/Paper APIs.

Build Configuration

ClockTime releases are hosted on JitPack and Modrinth Maven. Add the repository and dependency coordinate to your project configuration.

Gradle (Kotlin) - JitPackGradle (Kotlin) - ModrinthGradle (Groovy) - JitPackGradle (Groovy) - ModrinthMaven - JitPackMaven - Modrinth

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven("https://jitpack.io")
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly("com.github.beduality:clock-time:v0.1.0") // Replace with latest version
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven("https://api.modrinth.com/maven")
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly("maven.modrinth:clock-time:0.1.0") // Replace with latest version
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly 'com.github.beduality:clock-time:v0.1.0' // Replace with latest version
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://api.modrinth.com/maven' }
}

    compileOnly 'maven.modrinth:clock-time:0.1.0' // Replace with latest version
}

Plugin Dependency Configuration

To declare ClockTime as a dependency in your plugin description file (plugin.yml or paper-plugin.yml), add it under the depend or softdepend properties:

plugin.yml

name: MyPlugin
version: 1.0.0
main: com.example.MyPlugin
# Ensure ClockTime loads before your plugin
depend: [ClockTime]

Automate description files with Gradle

Instead of writing and maintaining plugin.yml manually, you can automate this using the net.minecrell.plugin-yml Gradle plugin:

build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    id("net.minecrell.plugin-yml.bukkit") version "0.6.0"
}

bukkit {
    main = "com.example.MyPlugin"
    // Declares dependencies dynamically
    depend = listOf("ClockTime")
}

Verification

To verify that ClockTime is correctly configured as a project dependency:

1. Run your build tool compile task (e.g., ./gradlew build or mvn clean compile).
2. Verify that the build succeeds without dependency resolution errors or compiler class-not-found errors.
