Requirements

Before building or using DzusillCore, make sure your environment meets the following requirements.

Java Development Kit

DzusillCore targets Java 21. Download it from Adoptium (Eclipse Temurin) or any other JDK 21 distribution.

java -version
# Expected: openjdk 21 or later

Maven

The project uses Apache Maven 3.8+ as its build tool.

mvn -version
# Expected: Apache Maven 3.8.x or later

Paper server

The framework targets the Paper API 1.21.1. The compiled JAR must be loaded on a Paper (or compatible fork) server. It will not work on vanilla Bukkit/Spigot without adaptation.

Download Paper from papermc.io.

Optional soft dependencies

These plugins are fully optional. The framework works without them; they are only activated if present on the server.

Plugin	What it unlocks
Vault	Economy API (`VaultHook`)
PlaceholderAPI	Placeholder resolution (`PlaceholderApiHook`)
EssentialsX	User data access (`EssentialsHook`)
