Server interface

A read-only view of the server Venus is running on, plus the profiler and a configuration reload.

api.server()
Signature	Description
`UUID uuid()`	Stable per-installation identifier, derived once from the server name and data folder.
`String name()`	The resolved server name — see domain verification for the resolution order.
`String version()`	The Venus build version, e.g. 1.1.2.
`Monitor monitor()`	Timing statistics; see Monitor and Statistic.
`boolean cloudConnected()`	Whether the cloud link is up right now.
`double tps()`	Current server TPS, or 20 when the platform cannot report it.
`int onlinePlayers()`	Players the platform reports as online, falling back to the tracked count.
`void reloadConfig()`	Reloads the configuration files.

reload from another plugin

VenusApi api = VenusAPIProvider.get();

// Reload the configuration from a plugin-owned command.
api.server().reloadConfig();
api.reload().thenAccept(success ->
        getLogger().info("Venus reload " + (success ? "finished" : "did not run")));

// Tick, prediction and store timings, in milliseconds.
Monitor monitor = api.server().monitor();
getLogger().info("tick " + monitor.tickTimings().runningMedian()
        + "ms, prediction " + monitor.predictionTimings().runningAverage() + "ms");

Notes

uuid() is derived from the server name and the plugin data folder, so it is stable for a given installation but different between copies of the same server. Use it as a cache key, not as a licence identifier.
tps() is a platform call. On a platform that cannot answer it returns the neutral 20 rather than an error, so a dashboard does not show a false alarm.
onlinePlayers() is the platform's count. It can exceed the number of users Venus tracks — exempt or not-yet-built players are tracked by the server but not checked. Compare with users().size() when the distinction matters.
