Demo plugin showing how to manage plugin player data at runtime (without custom Player classes)
For far too long I've sat back and watched people misuse PlayerCreationEvent for things it wasn't designed for, such as:
- Tracking extra data on the player (e.g. kill count)
- Adding extra API methods to the player
Custom player classes are one of the worst possible solutions to this problem, so this plugin aims to show a way to track plugin-player data in a way that is:
- Extremely simple
- Easy to read and write
- Multiple-plugin friendly (no more fighting for your player class to be registered)
- Almost impossible to break
I hope someone does. If it stops one person from abusing PlayerCreationEvent...
