JDA-Chewtils
JDA-Chewtils is a fork of the JDA-Utilities library created for the JDA framework. It was created by Chew on September 30th, 2020[1], utilizing the patch system designed by PaperMC, but was converted to a normal fork on May 28th, 2021[2] For usage and guides on how to use the library, see the JDA-Chewtils GitHub wiki page.
History
JDA-Chewtils was spawned due to several changes Chew wanted to make to the original JDA-Utilities library, who had not been updated in several months. After a while, JDA, the library this library was for, was upgrading major versions. As usual, this implied breaking changes, so JDA-Utilities was going to break. Notably, the much anticipated Slash Commands was soon to be added to JDA, so people were eager for JDA-Utilities to support it. To this day, JDA-Utilities still has no support for it. However, Chew took it upon herself to fork the library and add support in herself. Because of this, JDA-Chewtils has become the recommended fork for users of JDA-Utilities.
