# Creating a listener

## Creating the listener <a href="#creating-the-listener" id="creating-the-listener"></a>

To create a new listener, simply instantiate a new **FluidListener** declaring the event type and override the **run()** method:

```java
new FluidListener<>(EVENT.class) {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        EVENT event = getData();
        //RUN SOMETHING
    }
};
```

## Creating a group listener <a href="#creating-the-listener" id="creating-the-listener"></a>

Group listeners are used to create multiple listeners at once, however, you can't use the advanced utilities such as setting delays etc. To create a new group listener, instantiate a new **FluidListener.Group** and add your methods in like you would do in a standard class extending from Bukkit's Listener:

```java
new FluidListener.Group() {
    @EventHandler
    public void(Event event) {
        //RUN SOMETHING
    }
    
    @EventHandler
    public void(AnotherEvent event) {
        //RUN SOMETHING
    }
};
```
