Command argument basics

CommandArgument is an utility class for Command Framework and includes the basic parameters related Bukkit commands. Don't forget to add this parameter to your method because if you don't add it then the system will state it as normal Java method and not going to register it as a command and also not going to send any warn message so be careful.

Getting command arguments

    // We have created a basic command named "example"
    @Command(name = "example")
    public void exampleCommandMethod(CommandArguments arguments) {
        // To get command sender use CommandArguments#getSender method
        CommandSender sender = arguments.getSender();

        // To check who is the sender
        if (sender instanceof Player) {
            // now sender is player
        } else {
            // and now sender is console
        }

        // To get as Bukkit's command use CommandArguments#getCommand method
        // After that you can be able to get command's name, description, permission, etc.
        org.bukkit.command.Command command = arguments.getCommand();

        // To get label of command use CommandArguments#getLabel method
        String label = arguments.getLabel();

        // To get arguments of command use CommandArguments#getArguments() method
        // and don't forget these arguments is not all the parts of default arguments
        // because they'll be splitted after sub-command parts
        String[] args = arguments.getArguments();
    }
