Field Detail

For use in broadcast(java.lang.String, java.lang.String).

See Also:

Constant Field Values

Constant Field Values

Method Detail

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.

getMaxPlayers

int getMaxPlayers()

Get the maximum amount of players which can login to this server.

Returns:

the amount of players this server allows
