🐻 BeastLib
Core Library for All Beast Plugins
BeastLib is the official core library that powers all Beast plugins.
It provides shared systems, utilities, and optimized integrations — reducing duplication and keeping your server lightweight and stable.
If you're using BeastWithdraw, BeastWithdraw Plus, BeastTokens, or any other Beast plugin, this dependency is required.
⚠️ Important – Dependency Plugin
❗ This plugin is a library and does nothing on its own.
It is required for Beast plugins to function properly.
If you are not using any Beast plugin, you do NOT need to install BeastLib.
✨ What BeastLib Provides
BeastLib contains shared systems used across all Beast plugins:
✅ NBT utilities for safe item data storage
✅ Advanced item builder & lore formatter
✅ Version-compatible material handling (1.8 – 1.21)
✅ Database support (HikariCP optimized pooling)
✅ JSON utilities (Gson / JSON-Simple)
✅ NBT-API integration
✅ XSeries compatibility layer
✅ Optimized common managers
✅ Reusable command framework
✅ Internal API for plugin expansion
✅ Lightweight & performance optimized
This system allows Beast plugins to:
• Have smaller .jar sizes
• Avoid repetitive code
• Improve maintainability
• Ensure cross-version stability
• Share unified systems

• Database systems
• NBT systems
• Formatting utilities
• Version abstraction
• Shared managers
This results in:
✔ Cleaner architecture
✔ Faster updates
✔ Easier maintenance
✔ Smaller plugin sizes
✔ Long-term scalability
