Logger

The API also includes an advanced logger for in-game and console logging.

Setup

First, you need to set up the logger in your main class by initializing it in the onEnable method.

class TestingPlugin : JavaPlugin() {

    override fun onEnable() {
        Logger.initialize("Your plugin name")
    }

    override fun onDisable() {
    }
}

In-game logging

If you want to send an in-game log message, you can call the Logger.log method. This will send a log to all players with a specific permission.

log(playerSuffix, sender, permission, message)

The playerSuffix is just some extra text added after the player's name, useful for things like showing what a player is looking at or clicked on. You can leave it blank if you don't need it.

Console logging

There are 6 methods you can call for console logging. The basic ones are info, error, and warn.

These will send a colored message (if your console supports it) with the information you provide:

info(message)
error(message)
warn(message)

Example output:

[TestingPlugin] (info) Loading Testing plugin

If you use a database, you can also use the database logger methods. These work the same, except the plugin name includes "Database":

[TestingPlugin Database] (info) Connected to H2 database.

Methods:

infoDB(message)
errorDB(message)
warnDB(message)

You can also send a quick message straight to a Discord webhook with Logger.log(webhookURL, message). If you need something fancier like embeds, check out Discord webhooks.
