Lua Scripting: Enums & Values
This page links to the Spigot Javadocs for every enum type used by EliteMobs Lua methods. Use the exact enum constant name (e.g., "FLAME", "ZOMBIE", "STONE") as a string in your Lua code.
- Spelling must match the enum constant name exactly
- Case is usually normalized internally, but match the Javadoc spelling to be safe
- If the name is wrong, EliteMobs logs a warning and does nothing
