Creating Your PacketEvents Instance

Here's how you can create the PacketEvents Instance.

Here is an example of a class that initializes and terminates a PacketEvents instance on Bukkit.

import com.github.retrooper.packetevents.PacketEvents;
import com.github.retrooper.packetevents.event.PacketListenerPriority;
import io.github.retrooper.packetevents.factory.spigot.SpigotPacketEventsBuilder;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class Main extends JavaPlugin {

    @Override
    public void onLoad() {
        PacketEvents.setAPI(SpigotPacketEventsBuilder.build(this));
        //On Bukkit, calling this here is essential, hence the name "load"
        PacketEvents.getAPI().load();
    }

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        //Initialize!
        PacketEvents.getAPI().init();
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        //Terminate the instance (clean up process)
        PacketEvents.getAPI().terminate();
    }
}
