GameMode Command

This is a simple example of how you could create a gamemode command in minecraft (using bukkit), along with its shortcuts (e.g: /gms, /gmc). Before creating our command class, let's create a preprocess to make sure our gamemode command can be run by players only, We can easily do that by declaring the source as Player.

Now let's write our command class:

@Command({"gamemode", "gm"})
@Permission("lobby.gamemode")
public class GameModeCommand {

    @Usage
    public void defUsage(
            Player source,
            @NotNull @Named("gamemode") GameMode gameMode,
            @Optional @Nullable @Named("player") Player other
    ) {
        // /gamemode <gamemode> [player]
        Player target = other == null ? source.asPlayer() : other;
        target.setGameMode(gameMode);

        LobbyCore.sendPrefixed(target, "&bYour gamemode has been set to &f&l" + capitalize(gameMode.name()));
        if(other != null) {
            LobbyCore.sendPrefixed(source.asPlayer(), "&7You have set &2" + other.getName() + "&7's gamemode to &2" + capitalize(gameMode.name()));
        }
    }

    @Command("gmc")
    public void gmc(Player source, @Optional @Named("player") Player target) {
        defUsage(source, GameMode.CREATIVE, target);
    }

    @Command("gms")
    public void gms(Player source, @Optional @Named("player") Player target) {
        defUsage(source, GameMode.SURVIVAL, target);
    }

    @Command("gma")
    public void gma(Player source, @Optional @Named("player") Player target) {
        defUsage(source, GameMode.ADVENTURE, target);
    }

    @Command("gmsp")
    public void gmsp(Player source, @Optional @Named("player") Player target) {
        defUsage(source, GameMode.SPECTATOR, target);
    }

    private static String capitalize(String str) {
        return str.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + str.substring(1);
    }

}

The above command class should work flawlessly. However, the command will only accept gamemode exact names, the players will not be able to enter the gamemode's id, (e.g: /gm 1 will not work and 1 will not be identified as a correct gamemode). To fix this, we should implement our own parameter type for GameMode as follows:

public final class ParameterGameMode extends BaseParameterType<BukkitSource, GameMode> {

    public ParameterGameMode() {
        super(GameMode.class);
        this.suggestions.addAll(Arrays.stream(GameMode.values())
                .map(GameMode::name)
                .toList());
    }

    @Override
    public GameMode resolve(@NotNull ExecutionContext<BukkitSource> context, @NotNull CommandInputStream<BukkitSource> stream, String input) throws ImperatException {
        String englishInput = input.toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH);
        if (TypeUtility.isInteger(englishInput)) {
            int modeInput = Integer.parseInt(englishInput);
            for (var gamemode : GameMode.values()) {
                if (gamemode.getValue() == modeInput) {
                    return gamemode;
                }
            }
        } else {

            for (var gamemode : GameMode.values()) {
                if (gamemode.name().toLowerCase().startsWith(englishInput)) {
                    return gamemode;
                }
            }

        }
        throw new SourceException("Invalid GameMode `" + input + "`");
    }

}

Now let's register our parameter type onEnable:

private BukkitImperat imperat;
@Override
public void onEnable() {

    imperat = BukkitImperat.builder(this)
                .parameterType(GameMode.class, new ParameterGameMode())
                .build();
}
