Solved Getting player UUID inside AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent

Is there a way to get the UUID of a player inside the asyncplayerpreloginevent? I am storing entries inside a mysql database based on the player uuid, and it need to be loaded before the PlayerJoinEvent is called because it sets permissions on the player and may take a long time to ccomplete (database is hosted remote). There is a getName() inside this event, but because you can't relay on names, this isn't a solution for my.

 

I don't think you can, as it doesn't even give you access to the player yet. Just use PlayerLoginEvent.

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerLogin(PlayerLoginEvent event){
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    UUID playerUUID = player.getUniqueId();
}

or in short:

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerLogin(PlayerLoginEvent event){
    UUID playerUUID = event.getPlayer().getUniqueId();
}

You can TheMcScavenger PlayerLoginEvent is deprecated here is the working method

Code:java

 
    @EventHandler
    public void onLogin(AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent e){
        e.getUniqueId();
    }

This will get the UUID of the player trying to connect.
(Please let me know if this doesn't work as I will research further but I am pretty sure you won't have that problem)

Hope I helped!

When I try this, my IDE says it cannot find the method. At what bukkit version is this introduced, I tried http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/view/02602_1.7.9-R0.1/ already
EDIT: added this jar to the wrong project, thx for your help
