+# FreedomNetworkSuite
+
+This is a proof of concept for a new suite of non-plugin driven modules supported by a common library.
+This is designed to encompass the ideologies of a Freedom server, while maintaining full customization through modules.
+The modules are non-plugin driven, meaning that in no way are any modules an extension of the Bukkit plugin interface.
+This is because the commons library is designed to be a JavaPlugin extension which utilizes each loaded module as a resource.
+Any modules are by default an extension of the commons library. 
+
+Modules are defined by a module.yml in the resources folder, which contains the path to the main class file, 
+and a list of dependencies if it requires any other modules to run. 
+
+This proof-of-concept also uses the following libraries:
+ - Aikar's Annotation Command Framework for command handling
+ - ProjectReactor for subscribing to SQL database streams
+ - Google GSON for Json interpretation
+ - Jetbrains Annotations for additional compiler annotations
+ - Lombok for boilerplate generation
+ - Apache Commons for various utilities
+ - SLF4J for logging
+ - Paper for the server implementation
+ - Kyori Adventure for chat formatting
+ - Reflections API for reflections
