About FrikanUtils

The goal of FrikanUtils is to fill gaps in the base game and LabAPI, attempting to reduce the amount of code that needs to be copied between different projects.

The FrikanUtils project consists of multiple plugins called “modules”. The main module provides the foundation of the other modules, so is always required. The split into multiple modules was done to allow server owners to only install the required modules, reducing the amount of dependencies that need to be installed.

The development on the initial version of this started when LabAPI was first released, so some (parts of) modules may conflict with other plugins.
