    I've see a lot of tutorials on youtube and i get confused over the fact some people use
    Code:java
    1. cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("command")

    and some people use
    Code:java
    1. commndLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("command")


    Is there a particular difference? , Which way is "better" ?

    commandLabel refers to the alias used, whereas cmd.getName() refers to the name of the command: that is, if I set up
    /c as an alias for /command and then type /c into server chat, commandLabel will be "c" while cmd.getName() will return "command".

    If you need to check which command was fired, use the commands name

    if you need to echo back to the sender what they typed, used the label.
     
  7. Well I suggest using
    Code:
    cmd.getName()
    because you don't have to make a console version of the command so it doesn't crash the server

    All Players are CommandSenders. Not all CommandSenders are Players. All CommandSenders have names.
