I haven't paid much attention but are you just designing for fun or are you actually involved with Paper Hanger?

I am just someone redoing Hangar's frontend and contributing it. I am not part of the Hangar Team if that's what you are asking.

# solar sinew 12 yrs should not be allowed to run minecraft servers

I would also love it if SpigotMC had a system where reviews by new accounts who just disappear of the face of the earth after leaving the review, get deleted or marked. I've had too many bad reviews from people who are just incompetent and then disappear along with their server.

what

analog marlin
twin dune
# blazing oar Can you actually send me a DM with all your feedback regarding reviews and sugge...

Most of my feedback would just be about moderating reviews which I understand platforms like SpigotMC aren't really one to get involved in since it's largely subjective and creates extra work for them. I believe there might also be some legal thing similar to Youtube where by moderating such content makes them responsible for the issues caused by the resource it's self - not 100% sure though.

fallow crow

My current idea on how I'd maybe implement reviews on Hangar is the following:

  • Users can give 1-10 note
  • Users are not allowed to input any text
  • As such, users provide their opinions by selecting one or more tags (IE Helpful, Buggy, Not Working, etc)

It's not the perfect system but it requires basically no maintenance at all.

But even then, allowing text input from users is tricky since they can just start being racist and whatever.

Which then requires direct intervention from a moderator

#

I have said it multiple times, Hangar requires a dedicated Hangar Team.

#

Atm the only Hangar Team that exists is basically mini and kenny.

#

And well, most mods in paper that are also mods in Hangar automatically.

sullen sorrel
#

wait were they the ones that did the web dev

#

they didn't recruit more members for that?

blazing oar
#

It was mostly them yes

sullen sorrel
#

oh wow

blazing oar
#

Well

#

not fully

#

actually I am spreading misinformation

#

lmao

#

let me go back 2 steps

sullen sorrel
#

oh 💀

blazing oar
#

Hangar was started by Mini, but using foundations from ORE (a plugin repo for sponge), later on, Paper and Sponge kinda partnered and both were working on it, since then I think it's basically just a paper thing maintained by mini/kenny

#

mini is the represenative for Hangar in the Core Team

#

and also the head developer

vagrant pike
#

Another idea is to allow other users to "vote" (thumps up/down/report?) on other comments. tldr something like reddit. if it gets enough reports or thumbs down it would get "hidden". the rating wouldnt count towards the total and the comment would be hidden, but users could still click it to view it

blazing oar
#

It's stuff that we will have to discuss later on when time comes.

vagrant pike
#

or just plug in chatgpt to moderate it lol

blazing oar
#

Atm the focus is just the redesign and QoL features (like global search that I showcased) and fixing/optimizing backend (mostly mini, but I will also start helping out in the backend soon)

blazing oar
#

that endpoint is only to moderate prompts before sending them to openai

#

that's the only reason it exists.

solar sinew

I wonder how well a free one on oracle vps would work
although that most definitely wouldn't be up to Paper's standards :p

analog marlin
#

AI content moderation systems help enforce platform policies and ease the workload on human moderators, crucially sustaining the health of digital platforms

#

so i think it is just a normal moderation api after all, good for use on forums and whatever else

#

totally free as well fyi

blazing oar
#

and this makes it sound the opposite

analog marlin
#

could be both

#

i think that makes sense

#

since its just generically checking for bad content

blazing oar
#

well idk. Last time I contacted openai, it wasn't allowed

#

but that was a few months ago

it's hangar's take on "paid" plugins

sullen sorrel

blazing oar

you can create private release channels, then via api give certain users access to that channel

its probably way worse

well, I mean, feel free to open a PR, mini might have started working on it already though

I'd probably speak with him first

before doing anything

the codebases were written since java 5 or earlier

I haven't gotten to make the backend run locally for me, but I haven't really put much effort into it

since for frontend I just run it using staging as backend lol

tell that to business

#

they don't care if it doesn't bring any real value to them

#

and "it will be easier to maintain" doesn't really concern them

blazing oar

tell them it means you release features faster

#

which is kinda true

#

I'd assume they like hearing things being done faster

#

lol

vagrant pike

probably, but its also a slippery slope

if it were me I would rewrite the whole thing from scratch

I started doing boxing about a year ago and I've been enjoying that more than just weightlifting tho

went back recently just to check my strength and I'm still hitting 75lbs dumbbells for bench press and 320 lbs for 10 reps on leg press

#

alright for a 17yr I think

fallow crow
#

17yr yeah that's darn good bud. bruh i swear you 16-17yr olds genes are crazy. some 16yr old popped up in pokefind server the other day and was like owning every nerd on there with his chess stats and methods/weightlifting results

had me cracking up

oh the ya...

how do you look now if I may ask?

lowkey friends have told me at my peak i was like bruce lee physique lol

but i was like your age

which still engages a lot of those muscles very actively

#

I didn't lose much strength but I got like 2 inches taller and muscles deflate a little if you don't get good pumps frequently

#

but it's rlly hard to like

#

permanently lose muscle

#

if you stay physically active at all it doesn't rlly go away

#

I just can't be bothered to care as much about that shit now 😭

#

but boxing is like an art form and a mind game at the same time. you're constantly analyzing your opponent, prodding them and seeing what their weaknesses and openings are. you get to come up with creative ass move combinations and it's also just very good exercise

#

obviously for self defense the optimal thing is always just to learn to use a weapon

#

so if ur only goal is practicality, it's not the #1 thing

blazing oar
#

I won't send a pic of myself cause it's rlly not good xD

it can be rlly rewrding

#

its good for destressing

solar sinew

like every single day

cause let's say you burn ~2000/day

if you forget to eat enough for 2 days after, all that weight is cancelled out

Minecraft clone has custom block support before real mc

vagrant pike
boreal escarp
#

I mean in a good way

vagrant pike
#

same

#

some other things I've also noticed is that this has some of the things from minecraft modded scene in the base game itself

#

obviously worldedit is one of those things

boreal escarp
#

;o

vagrant pike
#

one thing that I maybe don't like is not using Java, mainly because Minecraft itself is built on Java and it being a Minecraft "clone", makes it more difficult for/if Minecraft devs want to contribute to it (if they don't know zig)

though obviously I can see the reason why he chose zig instead of java.

boreal escarp
#

my feeling is that java is also a minus for minecraft itself

#

probably not the best language for game dev

vagrant pike
#

yeah

#

also, the UI needs quite a bit of work imo, though it's still in early stages

kind sorrel
boreal escarp
#

maybe some skilled people will contribute for graphics

#

care to elaborate Ywell?

vagrant pike
#

I always wondered why are there no real open-source minecraft clones, obviously copyright might be one of the reasons

boreal escarp
#

what even clasifies as minecraft clone tbh?

vagrant pike
#

minecraft with mods is already pretty amazing, think what modders could do by having access to the minecrafts source code (no having to use mixins and what not)

vagrant pike
boreal escarp
#

this one is pretty similar though, in therms of assets

#

because to me every voxel game feels like minecraf lol, probably because minecraft is the biggest and most "polished" of them, and also the game I played for a long time shrug_animated

#

a few months ago I stumbled upon vintage story, a game that started as a minecraft mod

#

pretty cool, but too 'hardcore' for my taste

kind sorrel
boreal escarp
#

yeah that's what I meant to say 😬

vagrant pike
#

but yeah, I think the main reason the are no real successors is because, as I said, people want Minecraft (by being clean in terms of UI, game experience, etc), without it being Minecraft, and there haven't been any that can fit those criteria (as far as I know)

#

well, hopefully this one can do well, at least people are contributing lol

@sage robin for your infinite blocks plugin, would PDC work better instead of saving the block location on a database file (i assume)?

but like scope was too big

I was making a common api for bukkit, sponge, fabric and nukkit

true stirrup
#

i mean is it even a thing thats been asked for?

eternal apex
#

can't remember tbh

#

there are papi clones for sponge and nukkit

#

so probably

#

would've been a lot smarter to just have platform dependent expansions instead of trying to make a platform independent api

#

easier to have 4 player expansions than implement an entire player api for 4 completely different platforms

#

woulda been really cool though if I finished it

vagrant pike
#

skill issue

eternal apex

#

#

maybe skill issue too idk

eternal apex
#

combination of all 3

vagrant pike
#

real

#

I would like to do more mc dev stuff but I literally have no time lol

eternal apex
#

the scope went too far

#

why does papi need an api method to set an inventory slot

vagrant pike
#

what the helly

true stirrup
#

i assume each api?

eternal apex
#

I mean it'd just be the same plugin 4 times basically, just pass bukkit player, sponge player, etc to the expansion depending on the platform

boreal escarp
#

The goal was really too big. Platforms are also very different, bukkit is not like modded, so expansions would behave differently, different arguments, maybe placeholders.

eternal apex
#

yeah also gotta consider that bukkit is sorta unique in its venture for backwards compatibility

#

other platforms don't do that

#

and like with sponge, a variety of its versions are used, cuz people use sponge on modpacks

#

a ton of modpacks being 1.12, some being 1.16, etc

#

so now u gotta support a bunch of different sponge versions which all have relatively different apis

boreal escarp
#

is it too late to revive papi3? Although I don't know much about modded

eternal apex
boreal escarp
#

like, have a very minimalistic common api, a platform where you download expansions and then each plugin/mod & expansion are independent in therms of code.

eternal apex
#

yeah the papi 3 that's there could do that, just delete everything but the expansion api and the platform bootstraps

boreal escarp
#

I guess it is almost as easy to make a fabric PAPI as it is on bukkit, without all this abstraction to support everything in one codebase

eternal apex
#

tbh I don't know if fabric is even needed

#

like I thought we were doing fabric but there's no fabric binding in the code, it might've just been sponge

#

oh nvm u can't install sponge on fabric

boreal escarp
#

i dont know how the existing papi for fabric works

eternal apex
#

there isn't one

boreal escarp
#

I mean 3rd party papi

eternal apex
#

I thought there was one but I just checked and never made one

#

oh idk

boreal escarp
#

I know there is one

#

probably not for fabric

eternal apex
#

ah interesting

#

@muted fern did you bully modrinth admins to give us /mod/placeholderapi

miniplaceholders is the main one I've seen that supports all platforms

I think star had a similar idea once, when we discussed about components support, to actually provide placeholders though MM

@muted fern can I get /op for christmas?

vagrant pike
#

I assume these are only the "minecraft-focused" hosts?

#

@winter compass

winter compass
#

yes

#

i wrote "Minecraft hosting" tier list :p

vagrant pike
#

It would be nice if it also had a table format so it's easier to compare.

And how well they "perform" against VDS/VPS'es from like Hetzner or Ovh

winter compass
#

😭 am new to markdown :^

vagrant pike
#

tables are fairly easy, just look it up, though it get difficult to write when it gets big

solar sinew
#

virgin markdown vs Chad typst

winter compass
#

i thought of it as a list where beginners/newbies in the field can check and confront prices, possible pros and cons etc for their personal use :p

#

but alr, i'll try to table it up in future

winter compass
solar sinew
#

ever since I've started using typst I've grown 4 inches and gained 30 lbs if muscle and 2000 ng/dl of testosterone

true stirrup
#

also might just be me, but the main thing i would care about from a host is price and the hardware it brings, and the way you have the prices setup, i would still have to open their website and look

vagrant pike
#

and it would be nice to know if you are getting dedicated hardware (all, just cpu, etc) or not

true stirrup
#

true

true stirrup
winter compass
#

🙏 alr guys

true stirrup
#

so u can get a jist of the prices

#

but should u bother with all that

#

idk :D

#

as they probably change prices often too

solar sinew
#

Minecraft plugins need to multithread maxx

vagrant pike
#

how so

true stirrup
solar sinew
#

Never

winter compass
#

ill make a main table in the future and with CPU, prices/gb, gdpr compliant (thru privacy policy) and dedi cores, and also a table for "scalable cores" (which means the more ram, the more threads they give u in the same plan)

true stirrup
#

sounds good

#

cpu ratings too pls 🙏 , not everyone knows each gen ryzen performances by heart lol

vagrant pike
#

as I said, if it were me I would also add providers such as Hetzner, Ovh and maybe some other less known (for ex. we are hosting a modded server with 300 mods or something with 4-5 players for ~14€/mo VDS, which I would say is pretty cheap) to see whether those "minecraft-focused" hosters are really worth it.
though it might take quite a bit of research

winter compass
vagrant pike
#

well, personally I think one shouldn't be hosting if you don't know what you're doing

true stirrup
#

let people learn

vagrant pike
#

there are other ways to learn than just jumping into it and expecting everything will be fine

true stirrup
#

so you expect someone who one day decides, hey i wanna host a mc server. to not even touch mc servers, learn the basics of linux, and networking and how java executables are hosted, then potentially jump into trying to deploy something like ptero, before even learning what spigot or paper is?

#

best way to learn is just yolo and figure it out

#

ur hosting a mc server for meaningless money, not building a 10 story building for 20 families

vagrant pike
#

to be more clear I am talking more about VPS/VDS/Dedis where you are the one in charge, not the minecraft hosting providers where they preinstall everything and you click a few buttons

true stirrup
#

which i find kinda delulu my guy

vagrant pike
#

and then you see the minecraft reddits filled with questions "how to install java on linux"

winter compass
#

my list was dedicated to minecraft host only :<

true stirrup
#

you cant tell me you havent had a stage like that in your life

vagrant pike
#

I would say there's plenty of material online "how to install java on linux" if people bothered to read and learn

#

but they expect to be spoonfed

true stirrup
#

so u expect these same people that are unable/too lazy to search themselves for things like this to learn a whole semester of CS essentially just to boot up a server for their friends

solar sinew
#

ngl I've almost never had to ask a question in a forum ever in my entire life

vagrant pike
#

no, I wouldnt, I would expect them to not do it at all

solar sinew
true stirrup
#

i feel like things could compound

true stirrup
#

why do u keep refering to that

vagrant pike
#

if you are incapable of reading and learning all the material online you should probably stick to preinstalled/preconfigured solutions (with online control panels) imo

true stirrup
#

but you also said if youre unable to do self setup servers(aka reading material etc) you shouldnt even use preinstalled solutions

solar sinew
#

so

#

u not exactly gonna get lukewarm takes from me

true stirrup
#

black or white kinda guy ey

solar sinew
#

no not at all

#

just in this particular case

true stirrup
#

i mean still

#

the role configurator exists for a reason

solar sinew
#

bad reasons yeah

#

halfway devs

true stirrup
#

ah

solar sinew
#

people too lazy to be real developers, and overall making servers worse since developers have to appeal to them

#

and thus worse systems being created

vagrant pike
true stirrup
#

were not inside of amazon hq talking in the lounge

#

were in a mc server discord where most people pay to host servers for fun

solar sinew
#

yeah it's only a thing because Minecraft server dev isn't taken as seriously as it rlly should be at times

true stirrup
#

and you expect them to full on become CS graduates just to do that

winter compass
#

hey hey guys, my list was kind of every user, based on the thought of a configurator who lvoes ptero panels and their ease of use

winter compass
true stirrup
#

Feels like you kinda dont wanna accept that theres levels to this

winter compass
#

i don't plan to be a full time configurator (unless i get paid 4 figures per month lol)

true stirrup
#

and your upset that youre under the same umbrella as the low level people

solar sinew
#

what

winter compass
#

guys guys

#

calm down

#

🙏

true stirrup
winter compass
#

idk, it was heading somewhere which wasn't as friendly

#

tho am just calling u guys back to ur senses for a de escalation :p

solar sinew
#

stuff like IA is quite reasonable because it's inherently declarative

#

declarative things are good to have configs for

#

imperative things usually are not

true stirrup
#

do you want every server to reinvent the wheel just because they earn money?

solar sinew
#

and are much better with dev APIs

solar sinew
#

and some servers do see that as worthwhile in an extreme sense (Minestom)

true stirrup
#

Well even still, dm is a pretty decent example, a person without programming knowledge can make a basic UI for just showing info, maybe even with some simple state. But you would want every server to trade that for doing it manually in their own plugin with some inv library, and then most likely having to setup some config system to not have to recompile every color or text change?

#

Cause it really seems like thats your stance here

solar sinew
#

on the other hand, having devs offer less configuration (I'm specifically talking about plugins like DeluxeMenus, those with complex configurations) (which usually is badly designed and inflexible) might encourage people to learn plugin dev for real

solar sinew
true stirrup
#

Time is money, and youre trading this time for a solution that is better but in the end of the day the end user wont know or care

solar sinew
#

I'd argue a good dev api is a lot better than a config

#

especially with kotlin DSLs

#

literally better in every way

#

except for the recompilation aspect but you can hot reload KTS as Matt pointed out

solar sinew
true stirrup
#

but were not really talking about complex things

solar sinew
#

I am specifically talking about complex things

solar sinew
#

I'm talking about configs for very imperative plugins and tasks

winter compass
#

what we thinking

solar sinew
#

not declarative

true stirrup
#

So your main problem is that one plugin handles multiple roles?

#

Dont really get what you mean by that

true stirrup
winter compass
#

:p

#

well u r getting this now

#

:c

#

and then if u want u can ctrl + f the host's name for more details

twilit arrow

#

Insane work

#

Bad decision

twilit arrow
#

cannon is our content guy

#

like our entire devteam then

#

was just devs

#

we had no idea what to make tho

#

cannon just had ideas

#

designing ur own mechanics

#

and actually making them

#

is super hard

winter compass

Celestia didnt even release and he pinged everyone to promote his ahh maps

arctic cobalt

For a year now

twilit arrow

we might release in a month

#

im just waiting on cannon do get his

#

shit on

#

the dev server

#

and make the map

#

we gonna have a huge ass map

#

its taking forever

#

on his pc

#

to render

arctic cobalt
#

Uh huh

#

Either way townies are dead and celestia will be no different

twilit arrow
#

theres just a lack of innovation

#

causing it to die

#

look at polaris

#

it exploded

#

but it died

#

because owner drama

#

and some deleted shit

#
  • the entire server was
#

full of people

#

who just heard about

#

goepols

#

from their 1

#

viral

#

tiktok

arctic cobalt
#

That died in 2 weeks

twilit arrow
#

but it exploded

#

it got like

#

3x earthpols

#

playercount

arctic cobalt
#

So.. it died in 2 weeks

#

Pretty sure on week 1 when i played it had like 50 players

#

I quit it because i was building a town and well.. it was boring

twilit arrow
#

no

#

unique features

arctic cobalt
twilit arrow
#

custom shields

#

custom armor sets

#

custom weapons

#

most advanced economy in mc history

#

geopol history

#

those are the main features

#

others include like

#

town markets

#

where every town has their own bazaar like thing

#

with sell/buy orders

arctic cobalt
#

So.. nothing new

#

Armor, weapons, shields, those we had

#

Custom war system, already seen some, never worked

#

Most advanced economy - gold eco is the only one that ever worked
