Project Description

This is a Tower Defense plugin for Mindustry, designed to enhance gameplay with strategic elements. Players can engage in defensive warfare against advancing enemies, manage resources, and invest in superior weaponry. Key features include:

• Unit Management: Purchase and deploy various units to defend against waves of enemies.
• Currency System: Convert surplus resources into in-game cash, displayed at the top center of the screen.
• Power-Ups and Superpowers: Acquire enhancements like force projectors to slow enemies or regeneration projectors to heal defenses.
• Menus and Commands: Access shops and information via in-game menus (e.g., /menu command) and admin commands like /death for adding cash.
• Game Mechanics: Includes wave extension, event loading, pathfinding for units, and special deployments for reinforcements.
• Multiplayer Support: Intended for Mindustry servers, with features tailored for server-owned gameplay.

The plugin is strictly owned by the DontVin Mindustry Server and is version 7.0.

Troubleshooting

Gradle "Unsupported class file major version 65" Error

If you see an error like:

BUG! exception in phase 'semantic analysis' in source unit '_BuildScript_' Unsupported class file major version 65

This means your Java version is too new for your Gradle version. Gradle 7.6 does not support Java 21.

How to fix:

• Use Java 17 or lower (recommended for Gradle 7.x).
• Or, upgrade Gradle to version 8.4 or newer to use Java 21.

You can check your Java version with:

java -version

And your Gradle version with:

gradle -version

To switch Java versions, use a tool like SDKMAN or manually install Java 17.

For more help, see Gradle's compatibility matrix.
