Example - Safe recipe arguments

Say we have a plugin that registers custom items which can be crafted. In this example, we use an "emerald sword" with a custom crafting recipe. Now say that we want to have a command that gives the player the item from our declared recipes, which will have the following syntax:

/giverecipe <recipe>

To do this, we first register our custom items:

// Create our itemstack
ItemStack emeraldSword = new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_SWORD);
ItemMeta meta = emeraldSword.getItemMeta();
meta.setDisplayName("Emerald Sword");
meta.setUnbreakable(true);
emeraldSword.setItemMeta(meta);

// Create and register our recipe
ShapedRecipe emeraldSwordRecipe = new ShapedRecipe(new NamespacedKey(this, "emerald_sword"), emeraldSword);
emeraldSwordRecipe.shape(
    "AEA", 
    "AEA", 
    "ABA"
);
emeraldSwordRecipe.setIngredient('A', Material.AIR);
emeraldSwordRecipe.setIngredient('E', Material.EMERALD);
emeraldSwordRecipe.setIngredient('B', Material.BLAZE_ROD);
getServer().addRecipe(emeraldSwordRecipe);

// Omitted, more itemstacks and recipes

Once we've done that, we can now include them in our command registration. To do this, we use replaceWithSafeSuggestions(recipes) and then register our command as normal:

// Safely override with the recipe we've defined
List<Argument> arguments = new ArrayList<>();
arguments.add(new RecipeArgument("recipe").replaceWithSafeSuggestions(info -> 
    new Recipe[] { emeraldSwordRecipe, /* Other recipes here */ }
));

// Register our command
new CommandAPICommand("giverecipe")
    .withArguments(arguments)
    .executesPlayer((player, args) -> {
        Recipe recipe = (Recipe) args[0];
        player.getInventory().addItem(recipe.getResult());
    })
    .register();

Example - Safe /spawnmob suggestions

Say we have a command to spawn mobs:

/spawnmob <mob>

Now say that we don't want non-op players to spawn bosses. To do this, we'll create a List<EntityType> which is the list of all mobs that non-ops are allowed to spawn:

EntityType[] forbiddenMobs = new EntityType[] {EntityType.ENDER_DRAGON, EntityType.WITHER};
List<EntityType> allowedMobs = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(EntityType.values()));
allowedMobs.removeAll(Arrays.asList(forbiddenMobs)); // Now contains everything except enderdragon and wither

We then use our safe arguments to return an EntityType[] as the list of values that are suggested to the player. In this example, we use the sender() method to determine if the sender has permissions to view the suggestions:

List<Argument> arguments = new ArrayList<>();
arguments.add(new EntityTypeArgument("mob").replaceWithSafeSuggestions(
    info -> {
        if(info.sender().isOp()) {
            // All entity types
            return EntityType.values();
        } else {
            // Only allowedMobs
            return allowedMobs.toArray(new EntityType[0]);
        }
    })
);

Now we register our command as normal:

new CommandAPICommand("spawnmob")
    .withArguments(arguments)
    .executesPlayer((player, args) -> {
        EntityType entityType = (EntityType) args[0];
        player.getWorld().spawnEntity(player.getLocation(), entityType);
    })
    .register();

Example - Removing a potion effect from a player

Say we wanted to remove a potion effect from a player. To do this, we'll use the following command syntax:

/removeeffect <player> <potioneffect>

Now, we don't want to remove a potion effect that already exists on a player, so instead we'll use the safe arguments to find a list of potion effects on the target player and then only suggest those potion effects. To do this, we'll use the previousArguments() method, as it allows us to access the previously defined <player> argument.

List<Argument> arguments = new ArrayList<>();
arguments.add(new EntitySelectorArgument("target", EntitySelector.ONE_PLAYER));
arguments.add(new PotionEffectArgument("potioneffect").replaceWithSafeSuggestions(
    info -> {
        Player target = (Player) info.previousArgs()[0];
        
        // Convert PotionEffect[] into PotionEffectType[]
        return target.getActivePotionEffects().stream()
            .map(PotionEffect::getType)
            .toArray(PotionEffectType[]::new);
    })
);

And then we can register our command as normal:

new CommandAPICommand("removeeffect")
    .withArguments(arguments)
    .executesPlayer((player, args) -> {
    	Player target = (Player) args[0];
        PotionEffectType potionEffect = (PotionEffectType) args[1];
        target.removePotionEffect(potionEffect);
    })
    .register();
