bukkit Scheduler Programming Running Tasks Asynchronously
Example
You can make code run asynchronously from the main thread using runTaskAsynchronously. This is useful for doing intensive math or database operations, as they will prevent the main thread from freezing (and the server from lagging).
Few Bukkit API methods are thread-safe, so many will cause undefined behavior if called asynchronously from the main thread.
Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskAsynchronously(plugin, new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Bukkit.getLogger().info("This message was printed to the console asynchronously");
//Bukkit.broadcastMessage is not thread-safe
}
});
