getTickRate

float getTickRate()

Gets the current tick rate of the server.

Returns:

Steps occur when the server is in a frozen state which can be started by either using the in game /tick freeze command or the setFrozen(boolean) method.

Parameters:

ticks - the amount of ticks to step the game for

Returns:

true if the game is now stepping. False if the game is not frozen so the request could not be fulfilled.

stopStepping

boolean stopStepping()

Stops the current stepping if stepping is occurring.

Returns:

true if the game is no-longer stepping. False if the server was not stepping or was already done stepping.

requestGameToSprint

boolean requestGameToSprint(int ticks)

Attempts to initiate a sprint, which executes all server ticks at a faster rate then normal.

Parameters:

ticks - the amount of ticks to sprint for

true if a sprint was already initiated and was stopped, otherwise false

stopSprinting

boolean stopSprinting()

Stops the current sprint if one is currently happening.

Returns:

true if the game is no-longer sprinting, false if the server was not sprinting or was already done sprinting

isFrozen

boolean isFrozen(@NotNull
 Entity entity)
