CraftPlayer using Bukkit

Hello, I have a question. Due to the DMCA take-down for CraftBukkit. I was wondering how I could cast a Player to CraftPlayer in Bukkit or send a packet to a Player.
What I've got so far in this class:

Code:

public class Packets {
    public void sendPacket201(Player pl, String pn, boolean co, int pi){
        /* pl is the packet reciever
         * pn is player to show/hide's name
         * co is if they are connected
         and pi is the ping to show */
    }
}

Just ignore the fact that this doesn't extend JavaPlugin or Listener.

There is no way to access NMS Code in Bukkit itself.
You need CraftBukkit in order to use it.

 

Is there any way I can do it after the DMCA takedown?

 

@PixelDoesMC
You could switch to Spigot for example.
Or use Spigot's CraftBukkit Build.

How can I do that because on their GitHub repo it shows this message:

 

Moved to Alternatives Section.
You can obtain it right here:
http://www.spigotmc.org/link-forums/downloads.31/
However all older Versions than 1.8 are not available due to the DMCA.

 

Ok then. Thanks anyways...
