Getting Started

1. Adding Private Games as a soft dependency.​

First, please make sure to add BedWars1058-PrivateGames as a soft dependency so your plugin will start after Private Games addon.

note

It is not recommended to use BedWars1058-PrivateGames as a dependency, for more information about plugin.yml attributes read here.

plugin.yml
softdepend: [BedWars1058-PrivateGames]

2. Adding Private Games existence check.​

info

You must add a check for BedWars1058-PrivateGames plugin existence, before initializing the Private Games API.

Checking if the plugin exists on the server startup, this check is important, otherwise your plugin won't work properly.

The sample check below will shut down the server, if it doesn't detect the Private Games addon.

Main.java
@Override
public void onEnable() {
    if (Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("BedWars1058-PrivateGames") == null) {
        getLogger().severe("BedWars1058 Private Games Addon wasn't found. Disabling...");
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().disablePlugin(this);
        return;
    }
}

3. Initializing the Private Games API​

The final step is to initialize the API, below shown the method to access it from Bukkit Services Manager.

Main.java
PrivateGames privateGamesAPI = Bukkit.getServicesManager().getRegistration(PrivateGames.class).getProvider();
