🧑‍💻Developer API

LPC Pro v2 includes a public API module for third-party plugin developers to integrate with.

The API module (com.wikmor.lpcpro.api.LPC) is currently a stub and does not yet expose any methods. It will be populated in a future release. In the meantime, use PlaceholderAPI and Bukkit events to interact with LPC Pro.

API Module

The API is available as a separate module: lpcpro-api.

Maven Dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.wikmor</groupId>
    <artifactId>lpcpro-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Soft Dependency

Add LPC Pro as a soft dependency in your plugin.yml:

softdepend:
  - LPC-Pro

PlaceholderAPI Integration

The recommended way to read LPC Pro data from another plugin is through PlaceholderAPI:

import me.clip.placeholderapi.PlaceholderAPI;

String messages = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player, "%lpcpro_messages%");
String reputation = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player, "%lpcpro_reputation%");
String balance = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player, "%lpcpro_balance%");

See the Placeholders page for the full list of available placeholders.

Bukkit Events

LPC Pro processes chat through Bukkit's event system. On Paper servers, it uses Paper's AsyncChatEvent; on Spigot, it falls back to AsyncPlayerChatEvent.

LPC Pro listens on HIGH priority and cancels the event after processing, handling message delivery itself through its channel system. A MONITOR listener will see a cancelled event. If you need to read the final result, use PlaceholderAPI or listen on NORMAL priority to process before LPC Pro.

// Paper (recommended)
@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.NORMAL)
public void onChat(io.papermc.paper.event.player.AsyncChatEvent event) {
    // LPC Pro processes chat on HIGH priority and cancels the event
    // Listen on NORMAL to process before LPC Pro
}

// Spigot fallback
@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.NORMAL)
public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
    // Same approach for Spigot servers
}
