How to use the Death Event

Plugins Plugin Development

Like in other events you can query the cause for certain types.
To see if a player caused the death, you do:

@Listener
public void onEntityDeath(DestructEntityEvent.Death event) {
    Optional<Player> optPlayer = event.getCause().first(Player.class);
    if (optPlayer.isPresent()) {
        Player player = optPlayer.get();
        // The player caused the entity to die
    } else {
        // The entity died from a non-player cause
    }
}

You can also use the new event filtering

@Listener
public void onEntityDeath(DestructEntityEvent.Death event, @First Player player) {
     // Only gets called when the player was the cause
}
