silk-paper release requirements

[jakobkmar]

Since Paper removed the version strings from most packages, it is easier now than ever to fully implement silk-paper.
In the past year, I also removed all dependencies on fabric-api, so Silk is standalone in that regard,

What still needs to be done:

• all Silk events also need to be called on paper
  • which should be done like this:
    1. listen to paper event
    2. call silk event inside there
    3. handle changed state correctly
  • I aim to write a simple compiler plugin (be it KSP or possibly something with K2) to check whether all events have been implemented, or fail / warn otherwise - but this is not a requirement for the first silk-paper release
• Silk sometimes uses accessors on Fabric to access private / protected Minecraft fields and classes, this probably needs a reflection replacement on paper

I won't be able to begin with this within the next 1 1/2 months, however if anyone wants to take the lead and get this done it would be greatly appreciated.

Silk-Paper will replace KSpigot, right?

Yes, KSpigot can be continued by anyone who wants to maintain it, but I would definitely recommend to switch since the APIs in Silk are more refined.
