GameStartEvent

GameStartEvent fires after the game enters IN_GAME.

Timing Guarantees

Before dispatch:

• The gameplay timer is set from game-settings.gameplay-time.
• Boss bar progress is set to full.
• Point-block spawning has started.
• The player is attached to the game and has already been prepared and teleported.

The event is informational and not cancellable. Deny a player earlier with PlayerJoinAttemptEvent or cancel the WAITING → IN_GAME transition with care through GameStateChangeEvent.
