Setting up your plugin

The next step is to go to your plugin.yml and add ChatSentry as a depend or softdepend, depending on if it is optional or not for your plugin to work

softdepend is used if your plugin works without ChatSentry installed on the server

depend is used if your plugin requires ChatSentry to be installed on the server
