MavenLoaderAPI
A custom external dependency loader is prepended to easily reduce the package size.
Required
- Java 17+
- Velocity 3.3.0 ↔ latest (Optional)
- BungeeCord 1.18 ↔ latest (Optional)
- Spigot/Paper/Folia 1.18.2 ↔ latest (Optional)
Usage
1.4-SNAPSHOT introduced a repository whitelist mechanism to try to avoid some untrusted repositories from loading malicious dependencies.
Server
You need to add the following parameters to the Java startup parameters to enable it normally.
--add-opens=java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED
Then download MavenLoader and put it in the Server plugin directory. It is recommended to keep MavenLoader the latest version.
Please confirm whether the plugin that relies on MavenLoaderAPI loads trusted dependencies and pay attention to safety.
