Class Instance

java.lang.Object
net.minestom.server.instance.Instance
All Implemented Interfaces:
Audience, ForwardingAudience, Pointered, PacketGroupingAudience, EventHandler<InstanceEvent>, Block.Getter, Block.Setter, Snapshotable, Taggable, TagReadable, TagWritable, Tickable, Schedulable
Direct Known Subclasses:
InstanceContainer, SharedInstance

Instances are what are called "worlds" in Minecraft, you can add an entity in it using Entity.setInstance(Instance).

An instance has entities and chunks, each instance contains its own entity list but the chunk implementation has to be defined, see InstanceContainer.

WARNING: when making your own implementation registering the instance manually is required with InstanceManager.registerInstance(Instance), and you need to be sure to signal the ThreadDispatcher of every partition/element changes.
