Quick Example

Here's a simple plugin that logs a message when a player joins:

public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void start() {
        getEventRegistry().register(PlayerConnectEvent.class, event -> {
            PlayerRef playerRef = event.getPlayerRef();
            getLogger().at(Level.INFO).log("Player connecting: " + playerRef.getUsername());
        });
    }

    @Override
    public void shutdown() {
        getLogger().at(Level.INFO).log("Plugin is shutting down!");
    }
}
