WorldInitEvent and WorldLoadEvent don't work

I'm trying to add a BlockPopulator and I'm trying to use WorldInitEvent to do it. This is what I have:

@EventHandler
public void onWorldInit(WorldInitEvent e)
{
getLogger().info("WorldInitEvent called");
}

@EventHandler
public void onWorldLoad(WorldLoadEvent e)
{
getLogger().info("WorldLoadEvent called");
}

But neither of them are working. If it worked, I would be using this code (but even the test isn't producing any response):

public void makeChest(WorldInitEvent e)
{
World w = e.getWorld();
w.getPopulators().add(new ChestPopulate());
getServer().broadcastMessage("IT WORKED");
}



This is really bothering me, cause I'm just trying to have chests generate throughout the world and I can't even get the events to do anything. And yes, I've registered the events. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

EDIT: I had to put 'load: STARTUP' in plugin.yml. Now I've just gotta see if the block populator will work.

 

Are there any errors? From the code you posted, I don't see why it won't work. Please post more code and put them in the code tags please.
