Abstracto represents a framework to be used as a basis for a Discord bot. It uses [JDA](https://github.com/DV8FromTheWorld/JDA/) as an API wrapper underneath
and provides an extensive tool set to create new commands and a wide range of commands out of the box.

This repository does not provide the full functionality in order to start a discord bot, because it requires a Main class.
