Custom Material Injection

Introduction

For years, the Bukkit project has always used a Java enumeration named Material to tell developers which item is which. This is great but in Java, enumerations aren't meant for being modified in any way, which means it would normally be impossible for LostEngine to add the new items and blocks to this list. So I made this cool library that gets rid of the enumeration provided by Bukkit when it is loaded and creates a new one from scratch that contains the Bukkit code and LostEngine's custom items and blocks using the ByteBuddy Java library.

How to use it

config.yml

...
inject_custom_materials: true
...

Then, LostEngine will create new enumeration constants named like your item ID in uppercase snake case, for example lost_engine:my_cool_item becomes LOST_ENGINE_MY_COOL_ITEM in the Bukkit Material enumeration.
