PlayerLogin or PlayerJoin event?

Hello, I think its been a year since created a thread but something that was bothering me, which is better to use? the playerlogin event or playerjoin? and what's the difference between the 2?) what can you do in playerjoin that you cant do in playerlogin (except changing login messages)

 

PlayerLoginEvent triggers before the player logs into the server (when they try to connect to the server). PlayerJoinEvent is triggered once the player has been created.

PlayerLoginEvent is usually used to allow/deny people to join the server. PlayerJoinEvent is for just about anything else.

 

I meant what cant you do in the player login event that you cant in player join

 

Kick them if you don't want them in there for some reason and set the reason they were kicked for. Other than that you can allow them in if they were denied, such as being banned or server is full.

 

if you wanna use PlayerJoinEvent, you can send them a message or just use setJoinMessage(), or you can give them items, or set them on fire. Its just like if the player touches a ground, it'll do something. PlayerLoginEvent, well I've never used it but like @Zombie_Striker said it triggers before joins in the server, maybe send console a message that someone is trying to connect to the server or something. Hope this helps.
