Your First Plugin
Create a folder inside of your plugins folder. You can name this folder whatever you like as long as it has the
.lkt extension. For example, MyFirstLukkitPlugin.lkt would be a great name to start with. Inside of the folder you have just created, create two more new files named main.lua and plugin.yml. These files will be used to control and configure your Lukkit plugin.The
plugin.yml file is where information on your plugin, such as the description, author and version will be stored. The format of this file follows the same structure as that of the Bukkit or Spigot plugin.yml. However, unlike the plugin.yml in Bukkit and Spigot, you are not required to fill out the commands section. More information on the plugin.yml file can be found here, do not include the commands section as it will cause errors.An example of a
plugin.yml file looks like:plugin.yml
main: main.lua
version: 1.0
name: My-First-Lukkit-Plugin
description: My very first Lukkit plugin.
author: YourName
The main Lua file is defined in your
plugin.yml file and is the first file that is run when your plugin starts. This file does not have to be called name, as long as the name defined in your plugin.yml file matches that of your main file.An example of a main Lua file with the
onEnable and onDisable events looks like:main.lua
plugin.onEnable(function()
logger.info("My first plugin is enabled!")
end)
plugin.onDisable(function()
logger.info("My first plugin is disabled!")
end)
Creating commands in Lukkit is simple and requires only three lines of code. When creating a command in Lukkit, information about the command is stored in objects, such as the name and description. More information about commands can be found here.
An example of a main Lua file with a command looks like:
main.lua
plugin.onEnable(function()
logger.info("My first plugin is enabled!")
end)
plugin.onDisable(function()
logger.info("My first plugin is disabled!")
end)
local testCommand = plugin.addCommand({name="hello",description="Hello world"}, function(cmd)
plugin.getServer():broadcastMessage("Hello, world!")
end)
Just like creating commands, listening for events in Lukkit is very simple and only requires three lines of code. With events and commands, you can also get information about the player or other information that is returned in the event. More information about events can be found here.
An example of a main Lua file with an event looks like:
main.lua
plugin.onEnable(function()
logger.info("My first plugin is enabled!")
end)
plugin.onDisable(function()
logger.info("My first plugin is disabled!")
end)
local testCommand = plugin.addCommand({name="hello",description="Hello world"}, function(cmd)
plugin.getServer():broadcastMessage("Hello, world!")
end)
plugin.registerEvent("BlockBreakEvent", function(event)
event:getPlayer():sendMessage("You broke a block")
end)
