Represents the Bukkit core, for version and Server singleton handling

  • Method Details

    • getServer

      @NotNull public static @NotNull Server getServer()
      Gets the current Server singleton
      Returns:
      Server instance being ran

    • setServer

      public static void setServer​(@NotNull @NotNull Server server)
      Attempts to set the Server singleton.

      This cannot be done if the Server is already set.

      Parameters:
      server - Server instance

    • getVersionMessage

      @NotNull public static @NotNull String getVersionMessage()
      Gets message describing the version server is running.
      Returns:
      message describing the version server is running

    • getName

      @NotNull public static @NotNull String getName()
      Gets the name of this server implementation.
      Returns:
      name of this server implementation

    • getVersion

      @NotNull public static @NotNull String getVersion()
      Gets the version string of this server implementation.
      Returns:
      version of this server implementation

    • getBukkitVersion

      @NotNull public static @NotNull String getBukkitVersion()
      Gets the Bukkit version that this server is running.
      Returns:
      version of Bukkit

    • getMinecraftVersion

      @NotNull public static @NotNull String getMinecraftVersion()
      Gets the version of game this server implements
      Returns:
      version of game

    • getOnlinePlayers

      @NotNull public static @NotNull Collection<? extends Player> getOnlinePlayers()
      Gets a view of all currently logged in players. This view is a reused object, making some operations like Collection.size() zero-allocation.

      The collection is a view backed by the internal representation, such that, changes to the internal state of the server will be reflected immediately. However, the reuse of the returned collection (identity) is not strictly guaranteed for future or all implementations. Casting the collection, or relying on interface implementations (like Serializable or List), is deprecated.

      Iteration behavior is undefined outside of self-contained main-thread uses. Normal and immediate iterator use without consequences that affect the collection are fully supported. The effects following (non-exhaustive) teleportation, death, and kicking are undefined. Any use of this collection from asynchronous threads is unsafe.

      For safe consequential iteration or mimicking the old array behavior, using Collection.toArray(Object[]) is recommended. For making snapshots, ImmutableList.copyOf(Collection) is recommended.

      Returns:
      a view of currently online players.

      Selects entities using the given Vanilla selector.
      No guarantees are made about the selector format, other than they match the Vanilla format for the active Minecraft version.
      Usually a selector will start with '@', unless selecting a Player in which case it may simply be the Player's name or UUID.
      Note that in Vanilla, elevated permissions are usually required to use '@' selectors, but this method should not check such permissions from the sender.
      Parameters:
      sender - the sender to execute as, must be provided
      selector - the selection string
      Returns:
      a list of the selected entities. The list will not be null, but no further guarantees are made.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the selector is malformed in any way or a parameter is null
