This class is used for generic plugin-related functionality. The plugin manager has a list of all
plugins, can enable or disable plugins, manages hooks and in-game console commands.</p>
<p>
Plugins can be identified by either the PluginFolder or PluginName. Note that these two can differ,
refer to <a href="https://forum.cuberite.org/thread-1877.html">the forum</a> for detailed discussion.
<p>
There is one instance of cPluginManager in Cuberite, to get it, call either
{{cRoot|cRoot}}:Get():GetPluginManager() or cPluginManager:Get() function.</p>

Note that some functions are "static", that means that they are called using a dot operator instead
of the colon operator. For example:
