Lifecycle Prioritization

If you want to call your lifecycle classes in a particular order, you may set the priority by annotating your Lifecycle class with @LifecyclePriority(PluginLifecycle.Priority). Priorities are LOWEST, LOW, NORMAL, HIGH, and HIGHEST.

All lifecycle methods (onLoad, onEnable, and onDisable) are gathered and sorted at runtime and called in order of the highest priority first. Lifecycles with the same priority are not guaranteed to run in any particular order. All lifecycles are the default NORMAL priority unless specified, and will therefore be run in random order.

@LifecyclePriority(PluginLifecycle.Priority.HIGHEST)
public final class MyLifecycle implements PluginLifecycle {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        // ...
    }
}
