Player.spigot() particle effect method not implemented

[Aipaloovik]

Explanation of issue: The method in the Player.Spigot class playEffect() is not overridden in the CraftPlayer implementation. Therefore plugins trying to use that throw UnsupportedException errors in console: Ex: [22:59:12] [Server thread/WARN]: [KandorusSimpleQuest] Task #13 for KandorusSimpleQuest v1.0 generated an exception java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Not supported yet. at org.bukkit.entity.Player$Spigot.playEffect(Player.java:1048) ~[Player$Spigot.class:1.7.10-1614.57] at com.kandorus.simplequest.QuestParticleSystem.run(QuestParticleSystem.java:38) ~[?:?] at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_7_R4.scheduler.CraftTask.run(CraftTask.java:71) ~[CraftTask.class:1.7.10-1614.57] at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_7_R4.scheduler.CraftScheduler.mainThreadHeartbeat(CraftScheduler.java:346) [CraftScheduler.class:1.7.10-1614.57] at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.func_71190_q(MinecraftServer.java:905) [MinecraftServer.class:?] at net.minecraft.server.dedicated.DedicatedServer.func_71190_q(DedicatedServer.java:432) [lt.class:?] at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.func_71217_p(MinecraftServer.java:841) [MinecraftServer.class:?] at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:693) [MinecraftServer.class:?] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) [?:1.8.0_91]

It's because the method is actually not supported.

But why not? It's implemented in CraftWorld? https://github.com/CyberdyneCC/Thermos/blob/master/src/main/java/org/bukkit/craftbukkit/CraftWorld.java#L1417

And why can't you just use that?

That one plays for the entire server (or those in range). The one specific to the Player class only plays for one player.
