Interface Server

All Superinterfaces:
PluginMessageRecipient
public interface Server extends PluginMessageRecipient
Represents a server implementation.

  • Field Details

  • Method Details

    • getName

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

    • getVersion

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

    • getBukkitVersion

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

    • getOnlinePlayers

      @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.

      Gets a tag which has already been defined within the server. Plugins are suggested to use the concrete tags in Tag rather than this method which makes no guarantees about which tags are available, and may also be less performant due to lack of caching.
      Tags will be searched for in an implementation specific manner, but a path consisting of namespace/tags/registry/key is expected.
      Server implementations are allowed to handle only the registries indicated in Tag.
      Type Parameters:
      T - type of the tag
      Parameters:
      registry - the tag registry to look at
      tag - the name of the tag
      clazz - the class of the tag entries
      Returns:
      the tag or null

    • selectEntities

      @NotNull List<Entity> selectEntities(@NotNull CommandSender sender, @NotNull String selector) throws IllegalArgumentException
      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
