Use $player->getId() instead $player->getName() as array index

We suggest to all developer plugins, use $player->getId() instead $player->getName() as array index / cache. That will make low memory usage and high performance.

 

@everyone, follow the guidelines! ^

 

:thinkies:

 

Didn't even know this existed. Thank you for bringing this up :d

 

He is correct saying as each letter takes 5 bits and each number only takes 4 bits. Its not a drastic change but it will definetly help with performance if you have a mass amount of players on.

 

i think you meant bytes, but yeah

 

Two rookie mistakes are using names as identifiers and not using Player::getDisplayName() as display name.

 

Yeah i ment bytes lol
