## Networking

Network communication allows plugins to send custom data between server and clients:

```java
// Send custom packet
CustomPacket packet = new CustomPacket(data);
player.sendPacket(packet);
```

## Effects

Create visual effects using particles, lights, and entity animations:

```java
// Spawn particles
world.spawnParticles(ParticleType.SMOKE, position, count);

// Add dynamic light
entity.addComponent(new DynamicLight(Color.YELLOW, 10.0f));
```
