CoreProtect API v5 [CoreProtect v2.12.0+]

This post is for v5 of the CoreProtect API.
A newer version can be found here: http://minerealm.com/community/viewtopi ... 32&t=16687

The CoreProtect API enables you to log your own block changes, perform lookups, rollbacks, restores, and more. This is for advanced plugin developers.

Upgrading From API v4
The changes from the previous API version are as follows:

• 1. The following functions have been added:
  Code: Select all

  logChat(Player player, String message)
  
  logCommand(Player player, String command)

Please note: As of CoreProtect 2.11, usage of entity IDs and block IDs has been completely removed, and replaced by usage of Bukkit's internal EntiityType and Material types.

You can use the following code to map an entity ID or a block ID to EntityType or Material.

Code: Select all

// Convert a block ID to a Material
int blockId = 1; //stone
Material material = Material.getMaterial(blockId);

// Convert an entity ID to an EntityType
int entityId = 50; //creeper
EntityType entityType = EntityType.fromId(entityId);

Getting Started

Ensure you're using CoreProtect 2.12.0 or higher. Add it as an external jar to your plugin in your IDE.

The first thing you need to do is get access to CoreProtect. You can do this by using code similar to the following:

Code: Select all

import net.coreprotect.CoreProtect;
import net.coreprotect.CoreProtectAPI;

private CoreProtectAPI getCoreProtect() {
Plugin plugin = getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("CoreProtect");
     
// Check that CoreProtect is loaded
if (plugin == null || !(plugin instanceof CoreProtect)) {
    return null;
}
        
// Check that the API is enabled
CoreProtectAPI CoreProtect = ((CoreProtect)plugin).getAPI();
if (CoreProtect.isEnabled()==false){
    return null;
}

// Check that a compatible version of the API is loaded
if (CoreProtect.APIVersion() < 4){
    return null;
}
      	
return CoreProtect;
}

With this code, you can then access the API with a call like the following:

Code: Select all

CoreProtectAPI api = getCoreProtect();
if (api!=null){ //Ensure we have access to the API
  api.testAPI(); //Will print out "[CoreProtect] API Test Successful." in the console.
}

Hooray, you're now using the CoreProtect API!

ParseResult parseResult(String[] data)

This will parse results from a lookup. You'll then be able to view the following:

• getX(): Get the X coordinate of the block.
• getY(): Get the Y coordinate of the block.
• getZ(): Get the Z coordinate of the block.

This will return true if a user has already placed a block at the location within the specified time limit.

• user: The username you're checking to see if they've placed a block already.
• block: The block you're checking.
• time: How far back to check. "5" would only check through the last 5 seconds of logged blocks.
• offset: A time offset. "2" would ignore the last 2 seconds of most recently ignored data. (0=no offset)

--

hasRemoved(String user, Block block, int time, int offset)

This will return true if a user has already removed a block at the location within the specified time limit.

This will perform a purge on the CoreProtect database.

• time: Purge any data earlier than this. "120" would purge any data older than 120 seconds (2 minutes).

Examples

1. Get the last 60 seconds of block data for the user "Notch".

Code: Select all

CoreProtectAPI CoreProtect = getCoreProtect();
if (CoreProtect!=null){ //Ensure we have access to the API
  List<String[]> lookup = CoreProtect.performLookup(60, Arrays.asList("Notch"), null, null, null, null, 0, null);
  if (lookup!=null){
    for (String[] value : lookup){
      ParseResult result = CoreProtect.parseResult(value);
      int x = result.getX();
      int y = result.getY();
      int z = result.getZ();
      //...
    }
  }
}

--

2. Get the last 60 seconds of block data for the user "Notch", excluding dirt and grass blocks.

Code: Select all

CoreProtectAPI CoreProtect = getCoreProtect();
if (CoreProtect!=null){ //Ensure we have access to the API
  List<Object> exclude = Arrays.asList(Material.DIRT, Material.GRASS);
  List<String[]> lookup = CoreProtect.performLookup(60, Arrays.asList("Notch"), null, null, exclude, null, 0, null);
  if (lookup!=null){
    for (String[] value : lookup){
      ParseResult result = CoreProtect.parseResult(value);
      int x = result.getX();
      int y = result.getY();
      int z = result.getZ();
      //...
    }
  }
}

--

3. Get the last 60 seconds of block data within 5 blocks of a location.

Code: Select all

CoreProtectAPI CoreProtect = getCoreProtect();
if (CoreProtect!=null){ //Ensure we have access to the API
  List<String[]> lookup = CoreProtect.performLookup(60, null, null, null, null, null, 5, location);
  if (lookup!=null){
    for (String[] value : lookup){
      ParseResult result = CoreProtect.parseResult(value);
      int x = result.getX();
      int y = result.getY();
      int z = result.getZ();
      //...
    }
  }
}

--

4. Rollbacks / restores use the same code structure as the above examples. For example:

Code: Select all

CoreProtectAPI CoreProtect = getCoreProtect();
if (CoreProtect!=null){ //Ensure we have access to the API
  List<String[]> lookup = CoreProtect.performRollback(60, Arrays.asList("Notch"), null, null, null, null, 0, null);
  if (lookup!=null){
    for (String[] value : lookup){
      ParseResult result = CoreProtect.parseResult(value);
      int x = result.getX();
      int y = result.getY();
      int z = result.getZ();
      //...
    }
  }
}

--

5. Check if the user "Notch" has already placed a block at a location within the last 60 seconds.

Code: Select all

CoreProtectAPI CoreProtect = getCoreProtect();
if (CoreProtect!=null){ //Ensure we have access to the API
  boolean hasplaced = CoreProtect.HasPlaced("Notch", block, 60, 0);
}

--

6. Get the last 60 seconds of block data for a specific block.

Code: Select all

CoreProtectAPI CoreProtect = getCoreProtect();
if (CoreProtect!=null){ //Ensure we have access to the API
  List<String[]> lookup = CoreProtect.blockLookup(block, 60);
  if (lookup!=null){
    for (String[] value : lookup){
      ParseResult result = CoreProtect.parseResult(value);
      int x = result.getX();
      int y = result.getY();
      int z = result.getZ();
      //...
    }
  }
}

--

7. Log the placement of a block at a location by the user "Notch".

Code: Select all

CoreProtectAPI CoreProtect = getCoreProtect();
if (CoreProtect!=null){ //Ensure we have access to the API
  boolean success = CoreProtect.logPlacement("Notch", block.getLocation(), block.getType(), block.getData());
}

--

8. Perform a multi-threaded placement check to see if the user "Notch" has already placed a block at a location within the last 60 seconds. This ignores the most recent 1 second of logged data, to account for the fact that that new block data may have already been logged, depending on your code.

Code: Select all

final Block block = null; //Should be an actual block
class BasicThread implements Runnable {
  @Override
  public void run() {
    try {
      CoreProtectAPI CoreProtect = getCoreProtect();
      if (CoreProtect!=null){ //Ensure we have access to the API
        boolean hasplaced = CoreProtect.hasPlaced("Notch", block, 60, 1);
      }
    }
    catch (Exception e){
      e.printStackTrace(); 
    }
  }
}
Runnable runnable = new BasicThread();
Thread thread = new Thread(runnable);
thread.start();
