Event reference

Name variants: bare (join), with player (player join), with event (join event, player join event). Case doesn't matter.

With a player and interaction text

Name	Class	Event player	Example
join	PlayerJoinEvent	the one who joined	greetings, starter kits
quit	PlayerQuitEvent	the one who left	farewells, broadcast
chat	AsyncPlayerChatEvent	the author	cooldowns, warnings (message text is unavailable)
command	PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent	the command author	command logging

on player join:
    broadcast sender-name() + " joined!"

on quit:
    broadcast sender-name() + " left."

Death and respawn

Name	Class	Event player
death	PlayerDeathEvent	the one who died
respawn	PlayerRespawnEvent	the one who respawned

on death:
    $kills = $kills + 1
    broadcast sender-name() + " died. Total: " + $kills + "."

World and items

Name	Class	Event player
interact	PlayerInteractEvent	the interacting player
move	PlayerMoveEvent	the moving player (very frequent!)
break block	BlockBreakEvent	the breaker
place block	BlockPlaceEvent	the placer
drop item	PlayerDropItemEvent	the dropper
damage	EntityDamageEvent	the entity, if it is a player

on damage where sender-name() contains "Steve":
    message "Careful!"
    cancel-event

Performance

move fires on every movement. Don't put anything heavy there: no thousand-iteration loops. A guard if + stop is fine.

Coordinates and contents

Unavailable in DSL v1: block coordinates, chat text, the held item as an object (item-amount/1 gives only the count). An event provides the fact plus the player; the rest goes through direct builtins.

server start

A special event with no Bukkit class and no player: it runs once when the plugin is enabled (after scripts load). Player-dependent code (message, #var writes) doesn't work here — there is no player. /fastscript reload does not re-fire it (recompiling is not a server restart):

on server start:
    $server-started = 1
    log "FastScript routines are ready."
