=======================
Internal Sponge Classes
=======================

You can add SpongeCommon, SpongeVanilla or SpongeForge as a dependency to your plugin project if you need to access
internal Sponge classes.

.. warning::
    You should only add a specific implementation dependency when really necessary. If possible, use SpongeAPI or
    request feature additions on the `SpongeAPI issue tracker <https://github.com/SpongePowered/SpongeAPI/issues>`_.

In addition to the normal artifacts, the implementation modules provide a ``dev`` artifact which can be easily used in
the IDE, since it is not re-obfuscated. All implementation modules have the API module already included, so you do not
need an extra dependency on SpongeAPI.

SpongeCommon
------------

- **Group ID**: ``org.spongepowered``
- **Artifact ID**: ``spongecommon``
- **Version**: Same as SpongeAPI
- **Classifier**: ``dev``

Example Using Gradle

    dependencies {
        compile 'org.spongepowered:spongecommon:7.1.0-SNAPSHOT:dev'
    }

SpongeVanilla
-------------

Choose a build from the downloads page and copy the full version string to your dependency definition.

- **Group ID**: ``org.spongepowered``
- **Artifact ID**: ``spongevanilla``
