GriefPrevention will be added to maven central soon - in the meantime, there's this neat thing called JitPack [](https://jitpack.io/#TechFortress/GriefPrevention) that makes a public maven repo for public Github repos on the fly.
According to it, this is all you need to do to add to your pom.xml:
Replace `<version>` number with this number: [](https://jitpack.io/#TechFortress/GriefPrevention)
