# How to create your own effect

Create your own class for your effect and make it **extends Effect**

Then edit the name, description, and usage and make sure you remove variables from the class method and only leave the plugin variable.

```java
public class Test extends Effect{
    public Test(Plugin plugin) {
        super(plugin, "TEST", "This is a test", "TEST:[VALUE]");
    }

    @Override
    public void init() {
        registerEvent(BlockBreakEvent.class, event -> {
            Player player = event.getPlayer();

            if (!hasEffect(player, getName())) return;

            for (String[] argument : getArguments(player, getName())) {
                String value = argument[1];

                Bukkit.broadcastMessage(value);
            }
        });
    }
}
```

Create your effect in the class and once you are finished add this to your **onEnable** but make sure EliteArmor is a dependency and is loaded.

```java
EliteArmorAPI.getArmorAPI().loadEffects(Test.class);
```
