🕐Create Timers

Create a timer

Overview

The Timer class provides a utility for creating and running repeating tasks in Bukkit.

Methods

timer

public static BukkitTask timer(long delay, long period, final Runnable task)

Creates and starts a repeating timer task with a specified delay and period.

Parameters

• delay: The delay in server ticks before the task should start.

• period: The interval in server ticks between consecutive executions of the task.

• task: The task to be executed repeatedly.

Returns

• Returns the BukkitTask representing the scheduled repeating task.

Usage

1. Call the timer method and pass the delay, period, and task to be executed as parameters.

Example

long delay = 0; // Start the task immediately
long period = 20; // Repeat every 20 ticks (1 second)
Runnable task = () -> {
    // Your task logic here
};
BukkitTask repeatingTask = Timer.timer(delay, period, task);

In this example, we create and start a repeating timer task using the timer method. The task will start immediately and repeat every 20 ticks (1 second).
