That's my library I use to avoid copying and pasting the same damn code I wrote over the years to every single project I create.

It covers a lot of my typical stacks:

• Hibernate, plain JDBC
• Some cryptography
• Fast I/O, mostly with files
• kotlinx.serialization (CBOR, JSON, Kaml), ktor
• PaperMC, BungeeCord platforms
• Adventure, MiniMessage for Minecraft platforms
• LiteCommands

All these are mostly optional. The library itself does not have any dependencies. If you use a specific function in runtime, you need associated classes. Otherwise, you don't need anything.

I also heavily avoid adding "global" functions accessible from everywhere, because that fills your IDE suggestions too much... Why do Kotlin library devs like doing that? :(

Functions mostly require some receiver. Sometimes it is Boilerplate object, but mostly it is linked to the associated class directly, like InetAddress.asInt.

Some of the big features:

• Hibernate session factory builder
• More lateinit types
• Write-only properties
• HikariCP builder
• Message brokers backed by BungeeCord channels or Redis, using kotlinx.serialization and zstd compression.
• Item configuration
• Menu configuration
