LibSlf4jCompat

This plugin adds slf4j to Bukkit servers.

Reason

Before 13w39a(not included, this is a snapshot of 1.7.2, note that 1.7 is only a pre-release of 1.7.2 after this snapshot), Minecraft uses java.util.logging(aka as JUL or JDK14 Logging) as the logger of the game.

After 13w39a(included), Minecraft uses Log4j directly as the logger of the game.

After 1.17-pre1(included), Minecraft added slf4j and its Log4j binding to instead direct using of Log4j.

slf4j is easy to use but not included in old versions, so you can use this plugin.

This plugin provided three jars:

• Only slf4j api
• API and JUL binding(for 13w38c and below, or 1.6.4 and below)
• API and Log4j binding(for 13w39a to 21w20a, or 1.7 to 1.16.5)
