How do u make an API?

so i want to make an API but i don't know/understand how to. My idea is making my own events and if someone else put my plugin in their external library, they will be able to caste/use the event.

--this will confuse you-----

My events is going to use bukkit's normal event. For example onplayerdamage if its a creepers or human i would use that and make an easier events like oncreeperdamage.

 

Only one thing about API that you must now:
- You shouldn't delete any methods, if you want something change - old method still must work great but @Depracate it - even if you find typo, like in WorldEdit - there is deprecated method because it has typo in method name, but after so long time it still work like normal method.

But you can write it like you want
You can, but you don't must use interfaces like in bukkit.
You can, but you don't must create special API classes with API methods.


PS: making this events... no just no, that will only force server to handle more events without any reason.

 

Smerfa it was an example something i thought in like 4 sec

 

put my plugin in their external library

this is not how api for plugins works
