This introduces static getters for every currently-known effect type. At some point in the near future, the magic number constants (which are really network IDs, by the way) will disappear.
Migrating:
- If you used constants (like any sensible person would): for the most part it's just a case of adding a () anywhere you used an Effect constant.
- If you hardcoded magic numbers: ... well, have fun fixing your code, and I reserve the right to say "I told you so" :)
This achieves multiple goals:
1) creating an EffectInstance for application is much less verbose (see diff for examples, especially the Potion class)
2) plugin devs cannot use magic numbers to apply effects anymore and are forced to use type-safe objects. :)
This is a warning shot for plugin devs who use magic numbers. More changes like this are coming in the not-too-distant future.
