    Since synchronous tasks are executed by the main server thread, is it safe to use the bukkit API in them?
    What happens if you have more than a single synchronous task?

    Is there the ability to mark a piece of code as a mutex?

    tl;dr - Yes, synchronous tasks can be used to call API methods, apart from anything that pauses/blocks it i.e. network read tasks. As far as I know, you can have many synchronous tasks, the tasks will just yield to each other and get exectuted in whatever order, and I'm not sure about mutual expressions.
