Introduction

SoapsCommon is the shared foundation for the SoapsUniverse suite and an optional Event Engine you run yourself.

Every Soaps plugin needs this jar first. Staff can also build automations and multi-step server events from /soaps: welcome kits, daily rewards, sieges, contests, pools, and more.

Version 2.0.x adds the Event Engine on top of the shared library. Menus and text helpers remain. You can run events from this jar alone, not only as a dependency.

What players and staff feel

• Suite plugins open the same style of inventory menus.
• With the engine on, join kits, chat helpers, and timed events fire from saved definitions.
• Pools rotate weekend content without a custom plugin.
• Soft plugins (Vault, Mythic, WorldGuard) add money, mythic spawns, and region gates when installed.

Who owns what

Owns	Layer
Menus, MiniMessage, chat input, suite load checks	Library (always)
When / Only if / Do, Steps, Goals, pools	Event Engine (on by default)
Economy balance, mythic mobs, WG regions	Soft / suite plugins

Turn the engine off if you only need Common as a dependency: Want library only.
