Is it possible for Sponge to have /reload?

[Tzk]

I’ll just quote two replies from the linked thread:

@MoeBoy76

it’s not possible since there is a lifecycle of events that happen (ie pre-init, init, post-init, server starting, server started, etc) that only happen once and are required to load things properly, add on top of that the fact that the old version would need to be removed from the loaded objects, it’s a lot of hassle

@Tzk

This. We decided against supporting /reload as it would cause serious problems with plugins dependencies and such. What already is possible is to hot-reload a plugins config. The plugin has to support this itself, however.

So long story short: NOPE, this won’t happen on Sponge, sorry. Way to much issues/problems would arise from reloading whole plugins. However reloading a plugins config is possible.
