+# Hytale Plugin Template
+
+A minimal, ready-to-use template for creating Hytale plugins with modern build tools and automated testing.
+
+> **✨ Builds immediately without any changes!** Clone and run `./gradlew shadowJar` to get a working plugin JAR.
+
+## Features
+
+✅ **Modern Build System** - Gradle with Kotlin DSL  
+✅ **Automated Testing** - Custom Gradle plugin for one-command server testing  
+✅ **Java 25** - Latest Java features  
+✅ **ShadowJar** - Automatic dependency bundling  
+✅ **CI/CD Ready** - GitHub Actions workflow included  
+✅ **Minimal Structure** - Only essential files, write your own code  
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- **Java 25 JDK** - [Download here](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/)
+- **IntelliJ IDEA** - [Download here](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/) (Community Edition is fine)
+- **Git** - [Download here](https://git-scm.com/)
+
+### 1. Clone or Download
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/yourusername/hytale-plugin-template.git
+cd hytale-plugin-template
+```
+
+**The template builds immediately without any changes!**  
+You can customize it later when you're ready to develop your plugin.
+
+### 2. Build Immediately (No Changes Needed!)
+
+The template works out-of-the-box:
+
+```bash
+# Windows
+gradlew.bat shadowJar
+
+# Linux/Mac
+./gradlew shadowJar
+```
+
+Your plugin JAR will be in: `build/libs/TemplatePlugin-1.0.0.jar`
+
+### 3. Customize Your Plugin (Optional)
+
+When ready to customize, edit these files:
+
+**`settings.gradle.kts`:**
+```kotlin
+rootProject.name = "your-plugin-name"
+```
+
+**`gradle.properties`:**
+```properties
+pluginGroup=com.yourname
+pluginVersion=1.0.0
+pluginDescription=Your plugin description
+```
+
+**`src/main/resources/manifest.json`:**
+```json
+{
+  "Group": "YourName",
+  "Name": "YourPluginName",
+  "Main": "com.yourname.yourplugin.YourPlugin"
+}
+```
+
+**Rename the main plugin class:**
+- Rename `src/main/java/com/example/templateplugin/TemplatePlugin.java`
+- Update package name to match your `pluginGroup`
+
+### 4. Build Your Plugin
+
+```bash
+# Windows
+gradlew.bat shadowJar
+
+# Linux/Mac
+./gradlew shadowJar
+```
+
+Your plugin JAR will be in: `build/libs/YourPluginName-1.0.0.jar`
+
+### 5. Implement Your Plugin
+
+Write your plugin code in `src/main/java/`:
+- Commands
+- Event listeners
+- Services
+- Storage
+- Utilities
+
+See our [documentation](../Documentation/) for examples and patterns.
+
+### 6. Test Your Plugin (Automated!)
+
+```bash
+# Windows
+gradlew.bat runServer
+
+# Linux/Mac
+./gradlew runServer
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Download the Hytale server (cached for future runs)
+2. Build your plugin
+3. Copy it to the server's plugins folder
+4. Start the server with interactive console
+
+---
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+TemplatePlugin/
+├── .github/workflows/
+│   └── build.yml                    # CI/CD workflow
+├── buildSrc/
+│   ├── build.gradle.kts             # Custom plugin configuration
+│   └── src/main/kotlin/
+│       └── RunHytalePlugin.kt       # Automated server testing
+├── src/main/

+│   │   └── TemplatePlugin.java      # Minimal main class (example)

+└── README.md                        # This file
+```
+
+**Note:** This is a minimal template. Create your own folder structure:
+- `commands/` - For command implementations
+- `listeners/` - For event listeners
+- `services/` - For business logic
+- `storage/` - For data persistence
+- `utils/` - For utility classes
+- `config/` - For configuration management
+
+---
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Building
+
+```bash
+# Compile only
+./gradlew compileJava
+
+# Build plugin JAR
+./gradlew shadowJar
+
+# Clean and rebuild
+./gradlew clean shadowJar
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+```bash
+# Run server with your plugin
+./gradlew runServer
+
+# Run unit tests
+./gradlew test
+
+# Clean test server
+rm -rf run/
+```
+
+### Debugging
+
+```bash
+# Run server in debug mode
+./gradlew runServer -Pdebug
+
+# Then connect your IDE debugger to localhost:5005
+```
+
+---
+
+## Customization
+
+### Adding Dependencies
+
+Edit `build.gradle.kts`:
+
+```kotlin
+dependencies {
+    // Hytale API (provided by server)
+    compileOnly(files("libs/hytale-server.jar"))
+    
+    // Your dependencies (will be bundled)
+    implementation("com.google.code.gson:gson:2.10.1")
+    
+    // Test dependencies
+    testImplementation("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter:5.10.0")
+}
+```
+
+### Configuring Server Testing
+
+Edit `build.gradle.kts`:
+
+```kotlin
+runHytale {
+    jarUrl = "https://example.com/hytale-server.jar" // Update when available
+}
+```
+
+### Implementing Your Plugin
+
+**Recommended folder structure:**
+```
+src/main/java/com/yourname/yourplugin/
+├── YourPlugin.java          # Main class
+├── commands/                # Commands
+├── listeners/               # Event listeners
+├── services/                # Business logic
+├── storage/                 # Data persistence
+├── config/                  # Configuration
+└── utils/                   # Utilities
+```
+
+**See our documentation for examples:**
+- [Getting Started with Plugins](../Documentation/07-getting-started-with-plugins.md)
+- [Advanced Plugin Patterns](../Documentation/12-advanced-plugin-patterns.md)
+- [Common Plugin Features](../Documentation/14-common-plugin-features.md)
+
+---
+
+## CI/CD
+
+This template includes a GitHub Actions workflow that:
+
+1. ✅ Builds your plugin on every push
+2. ✅ Runs tests
+3. ✅ Uploads artifacts
+4. ✅ Creates releases (when you tag)
+
+### Creating a Release
+
+```bash
+git tag v1.0.0
+git push origin v1.0.0
+```
+
+GitHub Actions will automatically build and create a release with your plugin JAR.
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### ✅ DO:
+
+- Use the Service-Storage pattern for data management
+- Write unit tests for your business logic
+- Use structured logging (not `System.out.println`)
+- Handle errors gracefully
+- Document your public API
+- Version your releases semantically (1.0.0, 1.1.0, etc.)
+
+### ❌ DON'T:
+
+- Hardcode configuration values
+- Block the main thread with heavy operations
+- Ignore exceptions
+- Use deprecated APIs
+- Commit sensitive data (API keys, passwords)
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Fails
+
+```bash
+# Clean and rebuild
+./gradlew clean build --refresh-dependencies
+```
+
+### Server Won't Start
+
+1. Check that `jarUrl` in `build.gradle.kts` is correct
+2. Verify Java 25 is installed: `java -version`
+3. Check logs in `run/logs/`
+
+### Plugin Not Loading
+
+1. Verify `manifest.json` has correct `Main` class
+2. Check server logs for errors
+3. Ensure all dependencies are bundled in JAR
+

+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
+#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/HEAD/subprojects/plugins/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt
+#       within the Gradle project.
