CyberEventEngine

CyberEventEngine (CEV) is the small BitAspire event-expression runtime used by Cyber plugins that only need the CyberLevels-compatible event surface.

The public API lives under com.bitaspire.cev. The main entry point is com.bitaspire.cev.EventEngine.

CEV is intentionally limited. It keeps the shared expression engine, recurring routine support, criteria matching, and the 23 base events needed by CLV-style consumers, but it omits the advanced catalog, custom event loader, and expanded third-party integration surface.

When To Use CEV

Use CEV when a plugin needs:

• a lightweight event engine with stable CLV-compatible behavior;
• the 23 base event IDs and aliases;
• expression parsing and criteria evaluation;
• recurring/timed routines;
• no dependency on any advanced event layer.

Use a higher-level event engine when a plugin needs advanced built-in events, public dynamic event binding, custom events loaded from configuration files, or the expanded Ax/Rival integration surface.

Runtime Surface

CEV exposes these core pieces:

• EventEngine: starts and stops Bukkit event listeners, dispatches event expressions, and owns the criteria/routine registries.
• EventType: typed event IDs with aliases and count policies.
• CriteriaRegistry and Criterion: argument matching for expressions such as block types, entity names, permissions, item types, and numeric ranges.
• Dispatcher: evaluates a captured event against registered expressions.
• recurring.Routines: recurring execution helpers for timed event sources.

The dynamic reflection binding layer exists inside CEV so the runtime can bind optional integrations safely, but it is not part of the intended public CEV extension API.

Basic Usage

importcom.bitaspire.cev.EventEngine;
importorg.bukkit.plugin.Plugin;
publicfinalclassMyPlugin {
privatefinalEventEngineengine;
publicMyPlugin(Pluginplugin) {
this.engine = newEventEngine(plugin);
}
publicvoidenable() {
engine.start();
}
publicvoiddisable() {
engine.close();
}
}

Expressions use the event ID first, then an optional criterion:

KILL_MONSTER:TYPE_EXACT=ZOMBIE
BREAK_BLOCK:TYPE_CONTAINS=ORE
TIMED_EXP:PERMISSION=myplugin.reward
EXP_GAIN:EXP=10-100

Bracket counts are supported for events whose count policy allows explicit amounts:

KILL_MONSTER[5]
BREAK_BLOCK:GROUP=ORES[32]

Supported Events

CEV contains exactly these 23 event IDs:

Event	Purpose
TIMED_EXP	Recurring/timed reward source.
DYING	Player death.
DAMAGE_PLAYER	Player damages another player.
DAMAGE_ANIMAL	Player damages a passive animal.
DAMAGE_MONSTER	Player damages a monster.
KILL_PLAYER	Player kills another player.
KILL_ANIMAL	Player kills a passive animal.
KILL_MONSTER	Player kills a monster.
PLACE_BLOCK	Player places a block.
BREAK_BLOCK	Player breaks a block.
CONSUME	Player consumes an item.
MOVE	Player changes block position in the same world.
CRAFT	Player crafts an item.
BREW	Brewing stand completes a brew action.
ENCHANT	Player enchants an item.
FISH	Player fishes an item/entity.
BREED	Entity breeding event where the breeder can be resolved.
CHAT	Player chat message.
EXP_GAIN	Player receives vanilla experience.
RIVAL_HARVESTER_HOES_BLOCK_BREAK	RivalHarvesterHoes block break event when available.
RIVAL_PICKAXES_BLOCK_BREAK	RivalPickaxes block break event when available.
AX_HOES_BLOCK_BREAK	AxHoes player XP gain/block break compatible event when available.
AX_PICKAXES_BLOCK_BREAK	AxPickaxes player XP gain/block break compatible event when available.

UNKNOWN exists as an internal fallback value, but it is not part of the supported configurable event surface.

Aliases

CEV accepts the legacy CLV names used by older configurations. Common aliases include:

Alias	Event
timed-giving, TIMED_GIVING	TIMED_EXP
damaging-players	DAMAGE_PLAYER
damaging-animals	DAMAGE_ANIMAL
damaging-monsters	DAMAGE_MONSTER
killing-players	KILL_PLAYER
killing-animals	KILL_ANIMAL
killing-monsters	KILL_MONSTER
vanilla-exp-gain, VANILLA_XP	EXP_GAIN
rivalhh-breaking	RIVAL_HARVESTER_HOES_BLOCK_BREAK
rivalpick-breaking	RIVAL_PICKAXES_BLOCK_BREAK
axhoes-breaking	AX_HOES_BLOCK_BREAK
axpick-breaking	AX_PICKAXES_BLOCK_BREAK

Limitations By Design

CEV does not include:

• advanced event IDs such as SMELT, DROP_ITEM, LEVEL_UP, JUMP, RUN_COMMAND, JOIN, or WORLD_CHANGE;
• the custom event file loader;
• public dynamic event registration methods;
• the expanded AxBoosters, RivalFishingRods, RivalMobSwords, or extended AxHoes/AxPickaxes event set.
