Option 1) NBT-API as a dependency

Add the following Entries to your Gradle build at the correct location:

compileOnly("de.tr7zw:item-nbt-api-plugin:VERSION")

(Get the current Version from here)

repositories {
    ...
    maven {
        name = "CodeMC"
        url = uri("https://repo.codemc.io/repository/maven-public/")
    }
    ...
}

Finally, add the API as dependency to your plugin.yml

depend: [NBTAPI]

Option 2) Shading the NBT-API into your plugin

To include NBT-API directly in your plugin, you can use the gradle shadow plugin.

Add the plugin to the build configuration, as shown here:

plugins {
    id("com.github.johnrengelman.shadow") version "VERSION"
}

The latest version of the shadow plugin can be found here.

Add NBT-API to your dependencies:

implementation("de.tr7zw:item-nbt-api:VERSION")

(Get the current Version from here)

repositories {
    ...
    maven {
        name = "CodeMC"
        url = uri("https://repo.codemc.io/repository/maven-public/")
    }
    ...
}

After this you can add the shadowjar configuration to relocate the api package:

shadowJar {
    relocate("de.tr7zw.changeme.nbtapi", "YOUR PACKAGE WHERE THE API SHOULD END UP")
}

If you want to run the shadowJar task when the build task is executed, you can write like this:

build {
    dependsOn(shadowJar)
}
