Class ReflectionUtils

java.lang.Object
com.cryptomorin.xseries.ReflectionUtils

public final class ReflectionUtils extends Object
ReflectionUtils - Reflection handler for NMS and CraftBukkit.
Caches the packet related methods and is asynchronous.

This class does not handle null checks as most of the requests are from the other utility classes that already handle null checks.

Clientbound Packets are considered fake updates to the client without changing the actual data. Since all the data is handled by the server.

  • Field Details

    • NMS_VERSION

      public static final String NMS_VERSION
      We use reflection mainly to avoid writing a new class for version barrier. The version barrier is for NMS that uses the Minecraft version as the main package name.

      E.g. EntityPlayer in 1.15 is in the class net.minecraft.server.v1_15_R1 but in 1.14 it's in net.minecraft.server.v1_14_R1 In order to maintain cross-version compatibility we cannot import these classes.

      Performance is not a concern for these specific statically initialized values.

      Versions Legacy

    • MINOR_NUMBER

      public static final int MINOR_NUMBER
      The raw minor version number. E.g. v1_17_R1 to 17
      Since:
      4.0.0
      See Also:
    • PATCH_NUMBER

      public static final int PATCH_NUMBER
      The raw patch version number. Refers to the major.minor.patch version scheme. E.g.
      • v1.20.4 to 4
      • v1.18.2 to 2
      • v1.19.1 to 1

      I'd not recommend developers to support individual patches at all. You should always support the latest patch. For example, between v1.14.0, v1.14.1, v1.14.2, v1.14.3 and v1.14.4 you should only support v1.14.4

      This can be used to warn server owners when your plugin will break on older patches.
