Introduction to Brigadier Commands

Paper's command system is built on top of Minecraft's Brigadier command system. This system provides a powerful and flexible way to define commands and arguments. It offers many advantages above the previously widely used Bukkit command system:

  • Less parsing or error checking required by the developer for arguments.
  • Better user experience with client error checking.
  • Integration with reload events, allowing the definition of command usable in datapacks
  • Easier creation of subcommands
