\n![Latest Snapshot](https:\/\/img.shields.io\/maven-metadata\/v?metadataUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmaven.digitalunderworlds.com%2Fsnapshots%2Fnet%2Frealdarkstudios%2Fminecaching%2Fmaven-metadata.xml&label=Latest%20Snapshot)<\/p>\n

Bring Geocaching to your Minecraft server!<\/p>\n

This plugin allows players to hide and find Minecaches (or “Caches”) around the server while allowing operators to manage it.<\/p>\n

> DEVELOPERS: After v0.3.1.0, the artifact id is now `minecaching`, not `Minecaching`!<\/p>\n

> DEVELOPERS: **Some API stuff has moved to a new plugin, RDSCommons!**
\n>
\n> RDSCommons is a new plugin for shared code across Minecaching and future plugins.
\n> See `For Developers \/ Transferring To RDSCommons` for more information!<\/p>\n

## For Server Owners:<\/p>\n

### Installation
\nYou can find the latest version of Minecaching here.<\/p>\n

**Minecaching also requires a dependency plugin, RDSCommons, which you can find here**.<\/p>\n

Server owners can control many things, such as restrictions on where the caches are placed, the types of allowed caches, and more in the config!
\nOperators have access to certain commands, such as `\/verify` and can (by default) bypass `\/delete` and `\/edit` checks.<\/p>\n

For non-english servers, you should change the language in `pluginsMinecachingconfig.yml`.
\nIn there you can also find many other options, such as changing the `\/mcstats` scoring, configuring auto-updates, and more.
\nYou can also change some config values in-game by using `\/mca conf`<\/p>\n

## For Developers:<\/p>\n

You can use the Digitalunderworlds Maven to add Minecaching to your project<\/p>\n

\nAdding as a dependency<\/summary>\n

#### Snapshots:
\n“`xml
\n
\n dumaven-snapshots<\/id>
\n Digitalunderworlds Maven Snapshots<\/name>
\n https:\/\/maven.digitalunderworlds.com\/snapshots<\/url>
\n<\/repository>

Then,
\n“`xml
\n
\n net.realdarkstudios<\/groupId>
\n minecaching<\/artifactId>
\n 0.4.0.0-snapshot-24w13a<\/version>
\n<\/dependency>
\n“`
\nYou can view versions here<\/p>\n

> NOTE: Only full version releases (such as 0.2.0.7) are available in the Releases maven.
\n> If you want to be able to use ANY version, including releases, pick the Snapshot repository!
\n<\/details>\n

\nTransferring to RDSCommons<\/summary>\n

With 0.4.0.0, a new plugin (RDSCommons) was created to hold shared code for Minecaching and future projects.<\/p>\n

To start using RDSCommons, you will need to update to version Snapshot 24w13a or above.
\nThen, add this dependency, replacing (version) with the minimum version you require:
\n“`xml
\n
\n net.realdarkstudios<\/groupId>
\n rdscommons<\/artifactId>
\n (version), 1.0.99999.0)<\/version>
\n provided<\/scope>
\n<\/dependency>
