Making a test plugin with multiple commands

Okay, I watched a tutorial on creating commands but I was recently talking to a developer and he said for each command I would need to create a new class. Is that true? Because I tried that on a test plugin and haven't tried it yet.

 

Need to? No but it is a good idea too.

 

It depends, making a class for each command helps keep your code organized but IMO, if your plugin only has a couple commands, they don't deserve their own class.

Hello?

You do not need to create a new class for every command. if it is something small like /heal and /feed for example it is perfectly fine. How ever if you are doing a project like essentials, while it is not required that you make a new class for every command it helps organizes your code and makes things cleaner. On a side note here are some useful libraries that can help make your life easier when making commands:

• Intake(By sk89q)
• CommandManager(By raGan262)
• Influx(By DSH105 NOTE: Still a WIP, But works)
• Zeus(By rbrick NOTE: Still a WIP, But works)
• sk89q-command-framework(By sk89q NOTE: Essentially a older version of Intake)

 

rbrick I was going to use it for separate permissions.
