FAQ:

Is this API only for 1.9?
- Yes this API is only for 1.9 in case of the GlowAPI but you can find the 1.8 version in the version history

Can i use the API in my plugins?
- OF COURSE!

Am i permitted to decompile the API?
- Yes for personal use

Am i permitted to reupload the API?
- No.

Am i permitted to sell the API?
- No. No. No.

 

All of the above can be done using other APIs. What makes this API different than any other?

1. Does it also save achievenets/languages to text files? Do we have to use MYSQL (A memory hog that does the exact same thing as a text file) to use these features?
2. Why choose MYSQL support?

What do these mean? What do you mean by "in case of their ping"?

 

"All of the above can be done using other APIs. What makes this API different than any other?"
Some of the features can be done with other API's yes but i dont know a languageAPI with 31 languages and i dont know any achievements API and the nametag feature is also different to NickNamers API but everyone has to do the decision for himself which API he wants to use

1. "Does it also save achievenets/languages to text files? Do we have to use MYSQL (A memory hog that does the exact same thing as a text file) to use these features?
2. Why choose MYSQL support?"

1: MariaDB should work too but there is no textfile currently. This isnt "productive" in case of that can be done in ArrayLists too on single severs so its more for Bungee networks
2: Why dont? BungeePluginChannels would be much more stressful


What do these mean? What do you mean by "in case of their ping"?
GlowAPI supports the PingGlow feature which means:

A ping above 100: red glow
A ping above 50: orange glow
A ping under 50: green glow

Example plugin with random ping int's: Here

I hope everything is a little bit more clear now

 

So I have a few questions: Did you ask @bobacadodl for the permission to use his JSON chat lib

What is the reason for the WorldBorderAPI?

And you might want to add JavaDocs.

(Oh - and I can't count more than 100 files)

 

As you see bobacadodl is set as Contributor on spigot, i dont know how to do it here. Hwups.

The reason for the WorldBorderAPI:
I dont get it either, a user has asked for the WorldBorderAPI so i implemented one, 3 lines of codes but he wanted it. :3

And yes JavaDocs is also a thing i have to set up in near future but i have to understand how i dot it first

To the 100 files thing: Github does, problem found ._.
Everytime i want to upload the files it says "Try with less than 100 files"
I think github counts everything, folders, ymls, classes

 

It's not enough to mark him as contributor, you need to ask him if you can use it or not. Did you do that?

 

Though, he DID mark it as Open Source, you have to give him credits.
ALTHOUGH- You did pretty much copy & paste @bobacadodl's work into your project. SO- TO BE SAFE, ask him
