API
The HuskSync API (v3) provides methods for retrieving and updating data snapshots, a number of API Events for tracking when user data is synced and saved, and infrastructure for registering serializers to synchronise custom data types.
The HuskSync API shares version numbering with the plugin itself for consistency and convenience. Please note minor and patch plugin releases may make API additions and deprecations, but will not introduce breaking changes without notice.
API Version | HuskSync Versions | Supported |
---|---|---|
v3.x | v3.0—Current | ✅ |
v2.x | v2.0—v2.2.8 | ❌ |
v1.x | v1.0—v1.4.1 | ❌️ |
Note: For versions older than
v3.3
, the HuskSync API was only distributed for the Bukkit platform (asnet.william278:husksync
)
The HuskSync API is available for the following platforms:
-
bukkit
- Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, etc. Provides Bukkit API event listeners and adapters toorg.bukkit
objects. -
fabric
- Fabric API for Minecraft. Provides Fabric API event listeners and adapters tonet.minecraft
objects. -
common
- Common API for all platforms.
Targeting older versions
- The HuskSync API was only distributed for the Bukkit module prior to
v3.3
; the artifact ID wasnet.william278:husksync
instead ofnet.william278.husksync:husksync-PLATFORM
. - HuskSync versions prior to
v2.2.5
are distributed on JitPack, and you will need to use thehttps://jitpack.io
repository instead.

- Adding HuskSync as a dependency
- Creating a class to interface with the API
- Checking if HuskSync is present and creating the hook
- Getting an instance of the API
- CompletableFuture and Optional basics

Maven setup information
Add the repository to your pom.xml
as per below. You can alternatively specify /snapshots
for the repository containing the latest development builds (not recommended).
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>william278.net</id>
<url>https://repo.william278.net/releases</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Add the dependency to your pom.xml
as per below. Replace HUSKSYNC_VERSION
with the latest version of HuskSync (without the v): . and
MINECRAFT_VERSION
with the version of Minecraft you want to target (e.g. 1.20.1
). A correctly formed version target should look like: 3.7+1.20.1
. Omit the plus symbol and Minecraft version if you are targeting the common
platform.
<dependency>
<groupId>net.william278.husksync</groupId>
<artifactId>husksync-PLATFORM</artifactId>
<version>HUSKSYNC_VERSION+MINECRAFT_VERSION</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Gradle setup information
Add the dependency as per below to your build.gradle
. You can alternatively specify /snapshots
for the repository containing the latest development builds (not recommended).
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url 'https://repo.william278.net/releases' }
}
}
Add the dependency as per below. Replace HUSKSYNC_VERSION
with the latest version of HuskSync (without the v): . and
MINECRAFT_VERSION
with the version of Minecraft you want to target (e.g. 1.20.1
). A correctly formed version target should look like: 3.7+1.20.1
. Omit the plus symbol and Minecraft version if you are targeting the common
platform.
dependencies {
compileOnly 'net.william278.husksync:husksync-PLATFORM:HUSKSYNC_VERSION+MINECRAFT_VERSION'
}
- Add HuskSync to your
softdepend
(if you want to optionally use HuskSync) ordepend
(if your plugin relies on HuskSync) section inplugin.yml
of your project.
name: MyPlugin
version: 1.0
main: net.william278.myplugin.MyPlugin
author: William278
description: 'A plugin that hooks with the HuskSync API!'
softdepend: # Or, use 'depend' here
- HuskSync
- Unless your plugin completely relies on HuskSync, you shouldn't put HuskSync API calls into your main class, otherwise if HuskSync is not installed you'll encounter
ClassNotFoundException
s
public class HuskSyncAPIHook {
public HuskSyncAPIHook() {
// Ready to do stuff with the API
}
}
- Check to make sure the HuskSync plugin is present before instantiating the API hook class
public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
public HuskSyncAPIHook huskSyncAPIHook;
@Override
public void onEnable() {
if (Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("HuskSync") != null) {
this.huskSyncAPIHook = new HuskSyncAPIHook();
}
}
}
- You can now get the API instance by calling
HuskSyncAPI#getInstance()
- If targeting the Bukkit platform, you can also use
BukkitHuskSyncAPI#getBukkitInstance()
to get the Bukkit-extended API instance (recommended)
import net.william278.husksync.api.HuskSyncAPI;
public class HuskSyncAPIHook {
private final HuskSyncAPI huskSyncAPI;
public HuskSyncAPIHook() {
this.huskSyncAPI = HuskSyncAPI.getInstance();
}
}
- HuskSync's API methods often deal with
CompletableFuture
s andOptional
s. - A
CompletableFuture
is an asynchronous callback mechanism. The method will be processed asynchronously and the data returned when it has been retrieved. Then, useCompletableFuture#thenAccept(data -> {})
to do what you want to do with thedata
you requested after it has asynchronously been retrieved, to prevent lag. - An
Optional
is a null-safe representation of data, or no data. You can check if the Optional is empty viaOptional#isEmpty()
(which will be returned by the API if no data could be found for the call you made). If the optional does contain data, you can get it viaOptional#get()
.
Warning: You should never call
#join()
on futures returned from the HuskSyncAPI as futures are processed on server asynchronous tasks, which could lead to thread deadlock and crash your server if you attempt to lock the main thread to process them.
Now that you've got everything ready, you can start doing stuff with the HuskSync API!
- Data Snapshot API — Get, edit, create & delete data snapshots and update players
- Custom Data API — Register custom data types to sync your plugin's data with HuskSync
- API Events — Listen to, cancel and modify the result of data synchronization events
