Usage

CommandSender is accessed through CommandContext.sender():

@Override
protected void executeSync(@Nonnull CommandContext context) {
    CommandSender sender = context.sender();

    // Check sender type
    if (context.isPlayer()) {
        Player player = context.senderAs(Player.class);
        // player-specific logic
    }

    // Send response (works for any sender type)
    sender.sendMessage(Message.raw("Hello, " + sender.getDisplayName()));

    // Check permissions
    if (sender.hasPermission("myplugin.admin")) {
        // admin-only logic
    }
}
