This is a template for creating a plugin for Lavalink. It is written in java, but you can also use kotlin (version 1.8.22) if you want.

1. Clone this repository
2. Rename the package com.example.plugin to your package name
3. Rename the class ExamplePlugin to your plugin name
4. Rename the file ExamplePlugin.java to your plugin name
5. fill in the lavalinkPlugin in build.gradle.kts
6. Write your plugin

1. Place a application.yml file in the root directory (see here for an example)
2. Run ./gradlew runLavalink (for windows: ./gradlew.bat runLavalink) in the root directory
3. The plugin will be loaded
4. You can now test your plugin
5. If you change something in the plugin, you can just run ./gradlew runLavalink again

1. Run ./gradlew build (for windows: ./gradlew.bat build) in the root directory
2. The jar file will be in build/libs/

This template uses jitpack to publish the plugin. You just need to push your changes to github and jitpack will build the plugin for you.

Go to jitpack and paste the link to your repository. There you can find the version you want to use.

lavalink:
  plugins:
    - dependency: com.github.lavalink:lavalink-plugin-template:{VERSION} # replace {VERSION} with the version you want to use from jitpack
      repository: https://jitpack.io
