Resource BungeeCord Server Bridge Utility

This is a small utility for sending classes over the Bungee plugin messaging channel.

Say you have an event with whatever fields:

Code (Java):

public class StartMatchmakingEvent extends RemoteEvent {
    public UUID player;
    public boolean isWithParty;
    public String queueName;
    public int priority;
    // ...
}

which you'd like to send to some other server on your bungee instance, 'pvp'. First, initialise the bridge and register your class:

Code (Java):

this.bridge = new ServerBridge(this);

// The 1st argument is an arbitrary string, as long as its the same for the receiver.
this.bridge.registerSubChannel("StartMatchmaking", StartMatchmakingEvent.class);

Now you can send your event through the bungee channel:

Code (Java):

StartMatchmakingEvent e = new StartMatchmakingEvent(UUID.randomUUID(), true, "pvp", 999);

// Send it to the PVP server
bridge.forwardEvent(e, "pvp");

// Broadcast to all servers
bridge.forwardEvent(e);

// You can also specify which player to send the packet through, but it shouldn't matter
bridge.forwardEvent(e, "ALL", player)

This comes with a couple drawbacks:

• Both the sending and receiving servers must have at least one online player
• The message must be less than 32766 bytes (unlikely to be an issue)
• All types used in the RemoteEvent class must implement Serializable.

Hopefully this is useful to some. Feel free to look inside the code, it's not complicated.
