What is Adventure?

Adventure is Kyori's serverside user interface library for Minecraft: Java Edition. It defines the types for chat components, boss bars, titles, sounds, books, and resource packs, and the serializers for their formats.

Minestom uses those types directly rather than wrapping them. Displayed text is a Component rather than a String, and Player implements Audience. Paper, Velocity, and Sponge use the same library.

Adventure is exposed transitively, so it does not need to be declared as a dependency.

INFO

MiniMessage is not among the bundled modules. Its tag-based format (<red>Hello <bold>there) requires adding net.kyori:adventure-text-minimessage.

The Adventure documentation documents the library.
