Class AsyncPlayerChatEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:
Cancellable
Direct Known Subclasses:
AsyncPlayerChatPreviewEvent

public class AsyncPlayerChatEvent extends PlayerEvent implements Cancellable
This event will sometimes fire synchronously, depending on how it was triggered.

The constructor provides a boolean to indicate if the event was fired synchronously or asynchronously. When asynchronous, this event can be called from any thread, sans the main thread, and has limited access to the API.

If a player is the direct cause of this event by an incoming packet, this event will be asynchronous. If a plugin triggers this event by compelling a player to chat, this event will be synchronous.

Care should be taken to check Event.isAsynchronous() and treat the event appropriately.

    • getRecipients

      @NotNull public Set<Player> getRecipients()
      Gets a set of recipients that this chat message will be displayed to.

      The set returned is not guaranteed to be mutable and may auto-populate on access. Any listener accessing the returned set should be aware that it may reduce performance for a lazy set implementation.

      Listeners should be aware that modifying the list may throw UnsupportedOperationException if the event caller provides an unmodifiable set.

      Returns:
      All Players who will see this chat message
