CyberCore Rework Highlights

Welcome to the major rework of CyberCore! This update modernizes and streamlines the core, focusing on maintainability, modularity, and better dependency management.

🚩 Critical Points & Major Package Changes

• Main Package Renamed:
  All sources have moved from net.zerotoil.dev.cybercore to com.bitaspire.cybercore. All class paths, imports, and usage should update accordingly.

• Group/Artifact Metadata:

  • Maven groupId is now com.bitaspire.
  • Project version reset from 1.3.31 to 1.0.
  • Java compatibility moved to 21 in properties, but source/target remains 1.8.

• Build & Dependency Overhaul:

  • BeansLib replaced by Takion-shaded as the main utility library.
  • Metrics is now managed as a dependency instead of a bundled, precompiled class.
  • Config Updater functionality is now in a separate dependency, not within CyberCore.
  • JetBrains Annotations, Lombok, Commons Lang, and Spigot dependencies updated and streamlined.
  • New Maven repository: https://croabeast.github.io/repo/.

🔥 Deleted, Replaced, or Moved Classes

Removed/Externalized

• Metrics class:
  The enormous net.zerotoil.dev.cybercore.addons.Metrics is completely removed. Metrics are now handled by a managed dependency.
• ConfigUpdater and related config updater classes:
  No longer maintained in this repo—these are handled by an external library.
• PlayerUtils:
  Removed. Placeholder management is now covered by TakionLib's PlaceholderManager.
• TimeUtils:
  Removed. All time utilities are provided by TakionLib's time package.

Refactored and Renamed

• CyberCore:
  • Moved: net.zerotoil.dev.cybercore.CyberCore → com.bitaspire.cybercore.CyberCore
  • Modernized: Now uses new internal structure, simplified boot, and load logic.
• CoreSettings:
  • Moved: net.zerotoil.dev.cybercore.CoreSettings → com.bitaspire.cybercore.CoreSettings
  • Refactored for TakionLib compatibility.
• Lag:
  • Moved: net.zerotoil.dev.cybercore.objects.Lag → com.bitaspire.cybercore.Lag
  • Refactored for simpler TPS tracking and reflection via TakionLib.
• TextSettings → TextLibrary:
  • Replaced: net.zerotoil.dev.cybercore.TextSettings → com.bitaspire.cybercore.TextLibrary
  • Now extends TakionLib for language and logger features.
• FileManager/YAMLFile:
  • Replaced: net.zerotoil.dev.cybercore.files.FileManager and YAMLFile with com.bitaspire.cybercore.file.FileManager and FileManagerImpl, built around TakionLib and its ConfigurableFile.
• GeneralUtils → RandomUtils:
  • Only random value generators retained, now in com.bitaspire.cybercore.util.RandomUtils.

Deleted

• net.zerotoil.dev.cybercore.files.configupdater.*
• net.zerotoil.dev.cybercore.utilities.PlayerUtils
• net.zerotoil.dev.cybercore.utilities.TimeUtils
• net.zerotoil.dev.cybercore.utilities.GeneralUtils
• net.zerotoil.dev.cybercore.files.YAMLFile (all file operations are now via TakionLib)

🧩 Dependency Strategy

• TakionLib is the new backbone for all file, reflection, logger, time, and placeholder utilities.
• Metrics and ConfigUpdater are now external dependencies, no longer requiring you to maintain or update their code in CyberCore itself.

🚀 Why This Rocks

• Lighter, faster, easier to maintain: No more duplicated utility code; everything not unique to CyberCore is a proper dependency.
• Modernized API: Cleaner, more modular classes make integration and extension much easier for plugin developers.
• Future-proof: With TakionLib, you get regular updates and improvements for all core utilities.
• Cleaner boot & logging: Startup banners and logs use TakionLib’s logging layer, with better color/config support.

⚡ Migration Tips

• Adjust all imports to the new com.bitaspire.cybercore base package.
• Replace direct usage of removed utilities with their TakionLib counterparts.
• Any custom config update logic should now be implemented via the external config updater dependency.
• Metrics integration should use the new dependency approach as documented in TakionLib.
