helper: Scheduler

The scheduler class provides easy static access to the Bukkit Scheduler.

Scheduler.runAsync(() -> {
    // Do something     
});

All scheduling methods return either Promises or Tasks, which allow for easy manipulation of the scheduled computation or task.

Scheduler.supplyLaterAsync(() -> getValue(), 10L)
        .thenAcceptSync(value -> {
            // Do something with 'value' on the main thread.
        });

It also exposes asynchronous and synchronous Executor instances.

CompletableFuture<Void> completableFuture = CompletableFuture.runAsync(() -> {/*something*/}, Scheduler.sync());

The Scheduler provides a Task class, allowing for fine control over the status of repeating events.

Scheduler.runTaskRepeatingSync(task -> {
    if (task.getTimesRan() >= 10) {
        task.stop();
        return;
    }

    // some repeating task
}, 20L, 20L);

You can also use a fluent builder API to construct tasks.

Scheduler.builder()
        .async() // run async
        .after(25) // wait 25 ticks
        .every(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES) // then execute every minute
        .run(() -> {
            // Do something!
        });
