Listening events

Listening events on Andesite server is an easy task with Kotlin Flow.

Getting Started​

You can listen events from the server with the on() function, and it passes the event as a receiver:

main.kt
val server: MinecraftServer = ...

server.on<PlayerJoinEvent> { // this: PlayerJoinEvent ->
  player.sendMessage("&aWelcome to the server!") // The `sendMessage` function uses Chat too, so you can use colors.
}

Event holders​

Like you can listen events from the server with the on() function, you can listen events from a Player, and anything that implements EventHolder:

main.kt

val player: Player = ...

player.on<PlayerMoveEvent> {
  // Scoped to the player listening
}

tip

You can use this to filter events to a specific player.
