TuxTwoLib
This library does nothing on it's own and is re-compiled every minecraft version to provide a stable API for several of my plugins of some craftbukkit internals.
Yes, this plugin has been updated to Spigot for Minecraft version 1.12!
Which Download do I Need?
All the downloads are versioned with the craftbukkit version they are for, followed by an optional revision number, and then build number. So if you are on Craftbukkit for Minecraft server version 1.4.4, you would look for a version like this: 1.4.4-b1, with the b1 being the build number. (Always get the version with the highest build number for your version of minecraft) If an incompatibility exists in the builds, it also has a number corresponding to the build, like this: 1.4.5-R0.2-b1 would be compatible for all of 1.4.5-R0.2 builds and up for that version of minecraft.

Purpose
For Developers
A recent commit to CraftBukkit now requires any plugins that accesses native "net.minecraft.server" or "org.bukkit.craftbukkit" classes to modify its imports for every new Minecraft version update.
This library abstracts these native classes so that whenever Minecraft updates, only this library needs to be updated. Plugins which use this library can potentially be coded to be compatible with multiple versions of Minecraft.
For Server Admins
If you have multiple plugins that utilize native Minecraft code, you will now have to update each one of them for each update.
Fortunately, if you use any plugins which utilize this library, you only need to update one plugin for them. Just grab the version of this library made for your Minecraft version and you're done!
How to Use:
For Server Admins
- Download the correct version of this plugin for your Minecraft version. (follow the instructions above)
- You can find the different versions of this plugin by clicking the "Files" tab above
- Make sure you remember where you downloaded the file to!
- Select the file you just downloaded and "copy" it to your "/plugins" folder.
- On Windows, you can use ctrl+c or right click then press "copy". Then use ctrl+v or right-click to paste it in the proper folder.
- If you are using the terminal, you should know how to use the "cp" command or Midnight Commander.
- If you need to use FTP, be sure to read the documentation. (connect to the correct IP, traverse directories, etc.)
- Run your server as you usually would.
- Typically this involves a run script or an admin panel. (this part is very important)
For Developers
- Check through this library's JavaDocs to see if we have the hooks you require.
- Because this library is new, it likely does not yet have the hooks you need.
- If we do not have them, create a Support Ticket for an enhancement. We can add it in for you!
- If we do, just examine the JavaDocs and hook into it with your plugin.
- Do not forget to add "depend: [TuxTwoLib]" to your plugin.yml! (This makes sure that the library is loaded before your plugin)
- On your plugin's description make sure you tell users that they need to have this library installed on their server!

FAQ
Q. I'm getting this in my console: INFO java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
A. You downloaded the wrong version of the library, or a version that's compatible with your version of minecraft isn't released yet. Please double check and make sure you got the right download.
@Derthmonuter
They purposefully removed a lot of stuff because Bukkit was updated with some of the things.
@greatman321
I can verify that the 1.4.6 version is missing almost all the files of the 1.4.5 version. Though, seeing as how 1.4.6 was only released yesterday, I think they're working on it.
Would you mind maintaining a list on this page of all the plugins which use TuxTwoLib?
It's incredible that this is needed. Thank you for the hard work, Tux.
Dont know if it is MultiInv or TuxTwoLib but swapping from gamemode 1 to gamemode 0 then back will reset any fireworks held in inventory to being just plain rockets.
@Tux2
You are missing a lot of files in the 1.4.6 version. Multiinv shouts about a missing TuxTwoNBtData
EDIT: Updating to the latest dev-build of MultiInv partially fixed it. I'm getting a NPE in the enderchest:
@ivankrad
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/tuxtwolib/files/6-v1-4-6-b2/ It's up in the description :)
Any word on a 1.4.6 update?
Thank you for this library, book and skull api is very useful! Keep it up
@Blowngtr
That has been fixed now with the latest version.
@Blowngtr
After the update it still updates you from v1.4.5-R0.3-b2 to v1.4.5-R0.2-b2?
Maybe the old version isn't getting deleted? o.o
Wow this is very cool!
I have tried using both versions and tried changing my bukkit version but im still getting this error on start up. [[TuxTwoLib] Enabling TuxTwoLib v1.4.5-R0.3-b2 [TuxTwoLib] Current version incompatible with this version of Craftbukkit! Checking for and downloading a compatible version. [TuxTwoLib] Updated to version 1.4.5-R0.2-b2. Please restart your server. [TuxTwoLib] New version downloaded successfully. Make sure to restart your server to restore full functionality!
This server is running CraftBukkit version git-Bukkit-1.4.5-R0.2-b2488jnks (MC: 1.4.5) (Implementing API version 1.4.5-R0.2)
After trying both versions and restarting the server after being told to i still get the same error. Any ideas how i can fix this? thanks
