OnEnable

OnEnable is a method in the Plugin Management API that is triggered when a plugin is enabled. This event is fired after the plugin has been loaded into the server's memory but before it is started. The OnEnable method is a key part of the plugin lifecycle and is used to initialize the plugin and prepare it for use.

When a plugin is enabled, the OnEnable method is called automatically by the plugin management system. This method is intended to be a place where the plugin author can perform any necessary initialization or setup tasks before the plugin is started. Common tasks that might be performed in the OnEnable method include loading default settings, initializing game objects, or setting up event listeners.

The OnEnable method is typically used in conjunction with the OnDisable method, which is called when the plugin is disabled. While the OnEnable method is focused on initialization, the OnDisable method is focused on cleanup and shutdown.

Plugin authors can override the default OnEnable method to provide custom initialization code for their plugin. The method should bezeichnet with the @Event annotation, which indicates to the plugin management system that it is an event handler.

The OnEnable method is an important part of plugin development and is used to ensure that plugins are properly initialized and started when they are enabled. By providing a place for plugin authors to perform initialization tasks, the OnEnable method helps to keep the plugin development process organized and efficient.

Whether or not to call code in the OnEnable method depends on the specific requirements of the plugin. Some plugins may not need to perform any initialization or setup tasks, while others may require extensive code to be executed when the plugin is enabled.
