Single command conversion

Often, you don't want to convert every single command that a plugin declares, and instead you only want to convert a few commands that a plugin has.

To convert a single command, you need to first populate the config.yml with the name of the plugin and commands to be converted. To illustrate this, we'll use an example:

Example - Converting commands

Say we're using EssentialsX on our server and we want to be able to use /afk and /hat in command blocks. This would allow us to use (for example) the following commands in command blocks:

/execute as @p run afk
/execute as @p run hat

To do this, we need to add Essentials to our config.yml file, and include the commands afk and hat as the commands to be converted from the Essentials plugin. This would then make our config.yml file look like this:

verbose-outputs: true
create-dispatcher-json: false
plugins-to-convert: 
  - Essentials: 
    - hat
    - afk

Developer's Note:

Note that the commands hat and afk are used, as opposed to an alias such as head. The CommandAPI is only able to convert plugin commands that are declared in a plugin's plugin.yml file. For example, if we take a look at the EssentialsX plugin.yml file, we can see the commands afk and hat have been declared and thus, are the commands which must be used in the CommandAPI's config.yml file:

name: Essentials
