A simple library for storing and retrieving ItemStacks in Bukkit-related environments.

Currently, Cardboard Box supports 1.7 through 1.21.11.
Requires Java 21.

Will it need an update for 1.21.12? Maybe.
Will it need an update for 26? Definitely.

Example demonstration of storing and retrieving the item in a player's hand:

if (CardboardBox.isReady()) { ItemStack item = player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand(); byte[] data = CardboardBox.serializeItem(item); this.getLogger().info(Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(data)); ItemStack item2 = CardboardBox.deserializeItem(data); this.getLogger().info(item2.toString()); }
