Fork Information

This was forked originally back in 2016 from Pircbotx version 2.1. I then added some Twitch IRC specific features. The only relevant branch in this project is twitchify, master is unchanged other than the readme. If you should (for some reason, even though this is pretty old and not maintained) choose to use this:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven("https://jitpack.io")
}
dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.itsnotoger:pircbotx-twitch:2.5.0-twitchify")
}

##PircBotX in 3 Steps A brief getting started guide

• Download PircBotX
• Create and execute the following class:

import org.pircbotx.Configuration;
import org.pircbotx.PircBotX;
import org.pircbotx.hooks.ListenerAdapter;
import org.pircbotx.hooks.types.GenericMessageEvent;

public class MyListener extends ListenerAdapter {
        @Override
        public void onGenericMessage(GenericMessageEvent event) {
                //When someone says ?helloworld respond with "Hello World"
                if (event.getMessage().startsWith("?helloworld"))
                        event.respond("Hello world!");
        }

        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
                //Configure what we want our bot to do
                Configuration configuration = new Configuration.Builder()
                                .setName("PircBotXUser") //Set the nick of the bot. CHANGE IN YOUR CODE
                                .setServerHostname("irc.freenode.net") //Join the freenode network
                                .addAutoJoinChannel("#pircbotx") //Join the official #pircbotx channel
                                .addListener(new MyListener()) //Add our listener that will be called on Events
                                .buildConfiguration();

                //Create our bot with the configuration
                PircBotX bot = new PircBotX(configuration);
                //Connect to the server
                bot.startBot();
        }
}

• Join the #pircbotx channel on irc.freenode.net and send ?helloworld . Your bot will respond with Hello world! Since its a GenericMessageEvent, it will also respond when private messaged. Congratulations, you just wrote your first bot!
