Solved Bukkit.getPlayer(String name) deprecated

This method has been deprecated for a few development builds now. How are players supposed to target other players for commands? Is bukkit suggesting people type in the targeted player's UUID? Thanks for the help.

Should only return null if the player is not online.

 

Gater12 you're right, but do you know anything about the plan for future use/changes of this method?

 

None, it was deprecated as a visible warning to move to UUID's, since they will result in faster lookup times etc. You can still use the method as-is and should always be able to.

Do you know when it is going to come out of deprecation?

The warning will also be removed in later versions.

Ah ok, I just don't like my code all neat and tidy and then a big yellow line in one of my lines. Thanks
