Async events

[kamcio96]

md_5 did simple non blocking event system: https://github.com/SpigotMC/BungeeCord/blob/master/api/src/main/java/net/md_5/bungee/api/event/AsyncEvent.java

We can make something similar. #215 shows how it can be helpful. What do you think?

@mastercoms that events are called from other thread (not main), and it is only used for synchronization there

I mean to add way to delay event, like BungeeCord has

This ticket needs categorization on the waffle board.

Has this ticket seen any movement or has there been any action expected since the previous comment?

So the server should create a new Thread for each async event?

[kamcio96]

No. Small example: We have PlayerSpawnLocationEvent, it is called in main thread. Location is saved in mysql, so java will wait for that data. It cause some lags :confused:

Solution:

• event handler mark event like in BungeeCord event.registerIntend
• plugin will create new thread (server dosen't care about it) and get needed data
• event.setSpawnLocation(locationFromMysql);
• call event.completeIntend
• server will finish event in main thread (ofc in next tick)
