Packets instead of events for checking

[MyPictures]

I know this is an old subject and we probably will use events instead but maybe there are still some interests in this so fell free to comment and discuss :)

Likely not "instead", since our main context is Bukkit API, strongly tied to CraftBukkit. Future contexts also rather seem to be "use as plugin".

However it should be possible/interesting to:

• add integration for packet APIs.
• add our own thin/light-weight packet abstraction layer to allow packet checks that don't depend on a particular packet-API below (ProtocolLib, BKCommonLib, custom, ...) - read as data source providers / listener-registries.
• add checks for some packets / things that only can be done with packet listening.

Sounds good. Keep_Alive would be a really nice one to listen to.

We should check if ProtocolLib is loaded, then if so, be able to extend or add new checks via ProtocolLib's packet listeners.

Of course components only load if the dependencies are there ... question might be if to use some abstraction thing, to be able to use packets on different Systems.
