 `getEventManager().registerConnectionListener(new XYEventListener(), new ServerAddress("127.0.0.1", 25565));`
 Your event methods need to be annotated by `EventHandler`. `EventHandler` **can** take these arguments:
  - `priority`: Pretty much self explaining. `HIGH` means, that it gets executed at "the beginning", `LOW` means the opposite. Defaults to `NORMAL`.
- - `onlyIfNotCancelled`: If it is a cancellable event, your method only gets executed, when all prior listeners (potentially with a higher priority) did not cancel the event. Defaults to `true`.
+ - `ignoreCancelled`: If it is a cancellable event, your method only gets executed, when all prior listeners (potentially with a higher priority) did not cancel the event. Defaults to `false`.
 
 Your XYEventListener class needs to extend `de.bixilon.minosoft.modding.event.EventListener`;
