Packaging and distribution

Supported packaging formats

JAR (required).
It must include addon.properties at the root of the classpath (src/main/resources/addon.properties).

Versioning requirements

addon.properties:
- version (your addon version)
- api (engine API version)

Recommendation:

Use semantic versioning in the addon: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
Bump MAJOR if you break addon compatibility.

Recommended distribution channels

GitHub release including:
- built jar
- changelog
- declared compatibility (engine version + api version)

Server installation

Copy MultiBlockEngine.jar into /plugins/.
Start the server once.
Copy your addon jar into /plugins/MultiBlockEngine/addons/.
Restart.
