Interface Audience

  • All Superinterfaces:
    Pointered
    All Known Subinterfaces:
    ForwardingAudience, ForwardingAudience.Single
    public interface Audience
extends Pointered
    A receiver of Minecraft media.

    Audience is designed to be a universal interface for any player, command sender, console, or otherwise who can receive text, titles, boss bars, and other Minecraft media. It is also designed for a group of receivers such as a team, server, world, or permission.

    In the past, Minecraft platforms have typically reserved methods such as showTitle for a Player interface. While this is good textbook object-oriented design, it presents two key drawbacks: 1) there is no abstraction for groups of players, such as a Server or a Team and 2) it add boilerplate for handling special cases like console or command senders.

    Consider the use-case of sending a message and title to every player on a server, and also sending a message to console. Without an Audience, the code might look like this:

       Server server;
   for (Player player : server.getPlayers()) {
     player.sendMessage(...);
     player.showTitle(...);
   }
   server.getConsole().sendMessage(...);

    Now, if Server implemented Audience, its unified interface would allow users to easily send media without if-guarding console or iterating through the list of players:

       Server server;
   server.sendMessage(...); // Sends a message to players and console
   server.showTitle(...); // Shows a title to players, silently ignored by console

    When an Audience is unable to perform an operation, such as sending a boss bar to console, it will silently fail, without logging. This requirement allows users to easily send media to a group of Audiences without checking each for compatibility.

    While the scope of Audience may be expanded in the future to support new Minecraft media such as the player list, its interface will remain stateless and any new methods will be stubbed by default.

                                  @NotNull Audience @NotNull ... audiences)
        Creates an audience that forwards to many other audiences.
        Parameters:
        audiences - an array of audiences, can be empty

        Creates an audience that forwards to many other audiences.

        The underlying Iterable is not copied, therefore any changes made will be reflected in Audience.

        Parameters:
        audiences - an iterable of audiences, can be empty
        Returns:
        an audience

        @NotNull
static @NotNull java.util.stream.Collector<? super Audience,​?,​ForwardingAudience> toAudience()
        Provides a collector to create a forwarding audience from a stream of audiences.

        The audience produced is immutable and can be reused as desired.

        Returns:

                                         @NotNull java.util.function.Predicate<? super Audience> filter)
        Filters this audience.

        The returned Audience may be the same, or a completely different one.

        Container audiences such as ForwardingAudience may or may not have their own identity. If they do, they may test themselves against the provided filter first, and if the test fails return an empty audience skipping any contained children. If they do not, they must not test themselves against the filter, only testing their children.

        Parameters:
        filter - a filter that determines if an audience should be included
        Returns:
        an audience providing a snapshot of all audiences that match the predicate when this method is invoked

        default void forEachAudience​(@NotNull
                             @NotNull java.util.function.Consumer<? super Audience> action)
        Executes an action against all audiences.

        If you implement Audience and not ForwardingAudience in your own code, and your audience forwards to other audiences, then you must override this method and provide each audience to action.

        If an implementation of Audience has its own identity distinct from its contained children, it may test itself against the provided filter first, and if the test fails return an empty audience skipping any contained children. If it does not, it must not test itself against the filter, only testing its children.

        Parameters:
        action - the action
