statslite is a custom (unofficial) client implementation for MCStats (http://mcstats.org). It can be used to submit plugin statistic data (e.g. usage count, online players, ...) on one of the supported platforms. See the Plugin-Metrics wiki for some details.

Currently the following platforms are supported:

• Sponge
• BungeeCord

statslite needs to be added as Maven or Gradle dependency, and later shaded and relocated into the plugin JAR.

Add something like the following to your build.gradle. Replace PLATFORM with the platform you want to use.

plugins {
    id 'com.github.johnrengelman.shadow' version '1.2.3'
}

...

repositories {
    maven {
        name = 'minecrell'
        url = 'http://repo.minecrell.net/releases'
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'net.minecrell.mcstats:statslite-PLATFORM:0.2.2'
}

shadowJar {
    dependencies {
        include dependency('net.minecrell.mcstats:statslite-PLATFORM')
    }
    
    relocate 'net.minecrell.mcstats', 'YOUR.PLUGIN.PACKAGE.mcstats'
}

artifacts {
    archives shadowJar
}

This will result in an additional -all.jar with the shaded dependency to be created. See the Shadow plugin documentation for details.

statslite is currently supporting BungeeCord (statslite-bungee) and Sponge (statslite-sponge).

Add the following to your plugin class:

@Inject public SpongeStatsLite stats;

@Listener
public void onPreInitialize(GamePreInitializationEvent event) {
    this.stats.start();
}

The client will generate a configuration file in config/mcstats.properties where the users can opt-out the statistics.

Add the following to your plugin class:

private final BungeeStatsLite stats = new BungeeStatsLite(this);

@Override
public void onEnable() {
    this.stats.start();
}

The client will use the unique identifier (guid) from the BungeeCord configuration and can be disabled by setting that to null.
