Question about plugin depends

Hi everyone, is it possible in the latest version of Paper to better handle a situation where a plugin depend is missing? For example, my plugin call it NickServerCore depends on DiscordSRV. If I make one mistake in the discordSRV console and DiscordSRV dies, I don't want NickServerCore to die, too. I want to gracefully handle the errors. This is probably really simple, but I want to make sure I'm following best practice. Thanks!

Seems like I can just do something like this to remove and update the config?

        getPlugin().getDescription().getDepend().remove(0);
        getPlugin().reloadConfig();

        getPlugin().getDescription().getDepend().remove(0);
        getPlugin().reloadConfig();

NVM. Obviously wouldn't work because the plugin wouldn't start anyway without the depend. hmm.

maybe softdepend? should work

Yep Just check if it's enabled, and if not, don't enable (or disable) the modules of your plugin that use that api

This is exactly what I ended up doing. Thanks!
