Brigadier is a command parser and dispatcher library developed by Mojang for Minecraft: Java Edition, available under the MIT license. It lets you build a tree of commands with typed arguments and dispatch parsed input to handler functions.

Use cases

• parse and dispatch commands in a Java application
• build a command tree with typed arguments and tab completion
• add a command system to a Minecraft mod or plugin
• register extensible commands without modifying existing source
• route user input strings to handler functions with argument parsing

When to choose

• you need a robust, battle-tested command parser on the JVM
• you are building Minecraft mods, plugins, or servers
• you want hierarchical command registration with typed arguments and suggestions

When to avoid

• you need a full CLI framework with flags, help generation, and shell integration
• you are not on the JVM
• you want a simple one-off argument parser without a command tree
