cMojangAPI class

Provides interface to various API functions that Mojang provides through their servers. Note that some of these calls will wait for a response from the network, and so shouldn't be used while the server is fully running (or at least when there are players connected) to avoid percepted lag.

All the functions are static, call them using the cMojangAPI:Function() convention.

Mojang uses two formats for UUIDs, short and dashed. Cuberite works with short UUIDs internally, but will convert to dashed UUIDs where needed - in the protocol login for example. The MakeUUIDShort() and MakeUUIDDashed() functions are provided for plugins to use for conversion between the two formats.

This class will cache values returned by the API service. The cache will hold the values for 7 days by default, after that, they will no longer be available. This is in order to not let the server get banned from using the API service, since they are rate-limited to 600 queries per 10 minutes. The cache contents also gets updated whenever a player successfully joins, since that makes the server contact the API service, too, and retrieve the relevant data.


Functions

NameParametersReturn valueNotes
AddPlayerNameToUUIDMapping PlayerName, UUID (STATIC) Adds the specified PlayerName-to-UUID mapping into the cache, with current timestamp. Accepts both short or dashed UUIDs.
GetPlayerNameFromUUID UUID, [UseOnlyCached] PlayerName (STATIC) Returns the playername that corresponds to the given UUID, or an empty string on error. If UseOnlyCached is false (the default), queries the Mojang servers if the UUID is not in the cache. The UUID can be either short or dashed.
WARNING: Do NOT use this function with UseOnlyCached set to false while the server is running. Only use it when the server is starting up (inside the Initialize() method), otherwise you will lag the server severely.
GetUUIDFromPlayerName PlayerName, [UseOnlyCached] UUID (STATIC) Returns the (short) UUID that corresponds to the given playername, or an empty string on error. If UseOnlyCached is false (the default), queries the Mojang servers if the playername is not in the cache.
WARNING: Do NOT use this function with UseOnlyCached set to false while the server is running. Only use it when the server is starting up (inside the Initialize() method), otherwise you will lag the server severely.
GetUUIDsFromPlayerNames PlayerNames, [UseOnlyCached] table (STATIC) Returns a table that contains the map, 'PlayerName' -> '(short) UUID', for all valid playernames in the input array-table. PlayerNames not recognized will not be set in the returned map. If UseOnlyCached is false (the default), queries the Mojang servers for the results that are not in the cache.
WARNING: Do NOT use this function with UseOnlyCached set to false while the server is running. Only use it when the server is starting up (inside the Initialize() method), otherwise you will lag the server severely.
MakeUUIDDashed UUID DashedUUID (STATIC) Converts the UUID to a dashed format ("01234567-8901-2345-6789-012345678901"). Accepts both dashed or short UUIDs. Logs a warning and returns an empty string if UUID format not recognized.
MakeUUIDShort UUID ShortUUID (STATIC) Converts the UUID to a short format (without dashes, "01234567890123456789012345678901"). Accepts both dashed or short UUIDs. Logs a warning and returns an empty string if UUID format not recognized.
