yesterday

[shell moon]

the method (from PlaceholderExpansion) called getDefaults()

is always called? or only when its the first time running the expansion

real question is, what if i want to add default config but i dont want it to keep adding it again

if the owner deleted some options

[dusky harness]

#general-plugins or #1007620980627230730
don't crosspost

[marble owl]

posted there, apologies!

[dusky harness]

👍 if u want i can delete my message so its as if nothing happened 🪄

[marble owl]

its okay dw, im more concerned about getting this plugin to work lol

[shell moon]

☝️

[noble cedar]

maybe you should add a option to open guis as admin
so you can take items from the gui

[torpid raft]

why

[hoary scarab]

https://pastebin.com/fLybLVWd

I've tried everything I can think of at this point lol

[icy shadow]

Yeah so that’s a no lol

[hoary scarab]

You can also read the past conversations for what I have tried as well as the advice I have bee given.

[icy shadow]

You’re not writing the response string length

[hoary scarab]

Does that have to be added to the packet length or included? (Its included already using buffer.limit())

[icy shadow]

everything is included in the packet length

[hoary scarab]

Ok so yeah its already set.

[icy shadow]

No it’s not

[hoary scarab]

in sendPacket I add the buffer limit

[icy shadow]

that is not the same thing

length of the packet data != length of the string

you need both

[hoary scarab]

So would I add to the buffer limit? buffer.put(0, buffer.limit()+response.length)?

[icy shadow]

no what

that's really unsustainable and that's a completely different thing

whenever you write a String, you write its length first

[hoary scarab]

Ok, let me go test something

[icy shadow]

this is a rough sketch of what the data should look like, note the string length being written twice

[icy shadow]

whereas this would be like this, which im sure you can see is completely different

[edgy lintel]

you major in computer science?

[icy shadow]

don’t really have majors here but yes

[hoary scarab]

Having issues trying to create a byte array for the int rather then writing directly to stream

[icy shadow]

?

[hoary scarab]

Nothing just on my part lol

[hoary scarab]

private void handleMOTDRequest(DataInputStream in, DataOutputStream out, int packetSize, int packetId) {
    Output.debug("Handling Packet:HANDSHAKE");
    try {
        int status = 0;
        
        byte[] packet = new byte[packetSize];
        in.readFully(packet);
        status = packet[packet.length-1];
        Output.debug("Handshake [status:"+status+"]");
        
        int responseId = UninitializedConnectionTypes.ClientBound.STATUS_RESPONSE.getId();
        byte[] responseBytes = response.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_16);
        
        ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(9999);
        buffer.putInt(responseId);
        buffer.put(varMethods.createVarInt(responseBytes.length));
        buffer.put(responseBytes);
        
        Output.debug("Sending Packet:STATUS_RESPONSE [id:"+responseId+",status:"+status+"]");
        readBytes(responseBytes);
        
        sendPacket(out, buffer);
    } catch(IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

public byte[] createVarInt(int paramInt) {
    List<Byte> buffer = new ArrayList<>();
    
    boolean loop = true;
    while (loop) {
        if ((paramInt & 0xFFFFFF80) == 0) {
            buffer.add((byte)paramInt);
            loop = false;
        }else {
            buffer.add((byte)(paramInt & 0x7F | 0x80));
            paramInt >>>= 7;
        }
    }
    
    byte[] output = new byte[buffer.size()];
    for(int i = 0; i < buffer.size(); i++)
        output[i] = buffer.get(i);
    return output;
}
```Same output (failed packet basically) Tried mimicking the var method without outputting.

[edgy lintel]

are you sure 0xFFFFFF80 is the right number?

idk shouldnt the leftmost 1 be 0 in the first 8 bits?
cuz basically you are trying to fit 8 bits of integer in 1 byte right?

but tbh you probably wont need this varint method in the first place?
cuz the bits of the length should be of constant length, or else it will be imposssible to know the length?
like the length can be 1 byte two bytes or even 4 bytes
but its supposed to be 4 bytes fixed

just uneducated guess if you deem its wrong ignore

[icy shadow]

Why are you doing varints like that

[edgy lintel]

one way to learn cpp socket programming in java for me lmao

[edgy lintel]

i think the fix is just to dump the whole 4 bytes responseBytes.length into the byte buffer and ditch the createvarint method

[icy shadow]

🤨

[edgy lintel]

usually for packet length, the field should be a constant uint_32 or whatever thing that have fixed length, not a number type with variable length that can be 1 byte, 2 bytes, 3 bytes or 4 bytes
Does that make sense?

[icy shadow]

that is not true in this case

[spiral prairie]

varint exists too

[icy shadow]

packet length is explicitly a varint

as is the string length

[edgy lintel]

yeah well i guess i dont know much about minecraft packets
i assume its higher level packet setting to have a variable packet length field?

[spiral prairie]

i mean just look at the packet structure

[edgy lintel]

🤔

yeah imma head out

[icy shadow]

it's not particularly high level

[minor summit]

lol

[hoary scarab]

Can't reply to 2 messages lol

WanderingPalace — Today at 10:07 AM
are you sure 0xFFFFFF80 is the right number?

Brister Mitten — Today at 10:16 AM
Why are you doing varints like that

Method was taken from https://wiki.vg/protocol and just made it so I can use the byte[] instead of writing it directly to output

[icy shadow]

the one there looks very different to the one you've written lol

[hoary scarab]

Sent the message to early reread lol

[shell moon]

☝️

[minor summit]

I would say that after 15 hours, it might be quicker to test it yourself by putting a System.out.println

[shell moon]

computer is slow

brain too

[minor summit]

15-hours-to-test-a-placeholder slow?

[hoary scarab]

or read the source code 😉

[shell moon]

that's actually a good idea

[hoary scarab]

I feel like my issue is the packet size now... Like maybe I'm not writing the right size

Could still be completely wrong though xD

int responseLength = response.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_16BE).length;
int statusSize = (responseLength+varMethods.createVarInt(responseLength).length);
Output.debug("StatusSize: "+statusSize);
            
varMethods.writeVarInt(out, statusSize);
varMethods.writeVarInt(out, 0);
varMethods.writeString(out, response, StandardCharsets.UTF_16BE);
```Even tried this (and variations of) and still getting the 1.6 ping packet as a response...

[icy shadow]

size includes the packet id so yes

[hoary scarab]

yeah tried +1 as well. Also down to and up to -10 and +10 (from statusSize)

as well as int statusSize = (responseLength+varMethods.createVarInt(responseLength).length+varMethods.createVarInt(0).length);
Just for the hell of it lol

[tight junco]

probably

if you're doing it in a plugin

yes

but if you're talking about deluxemenus then #general-plugins and maybe

[river solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/dono-wall-talking-wall-bricks-gif-17741481

[tight junco]

[river solstice]

my mans speakin to himself zz

schizo rant

[hoary scarab]

Any ideas?

[stuck hearth]

I would probably compare your code with the examples on wiki.vg and see if anything sticks out.

[hoary scarab]

I have, also multiple users have given suggestions over multiple days and still can not get it to work.

[icy shadow]

print the raw output of what you're sending and show me. also why utf-16? it clearly says on the wiki that strings are utf-8

[hoary scarab]

Tried all the standard charsets. Can't debug right now won't be at my PC for a few hours.

[hoary scarab]

Which part do you want an output for?

[icy shadow]

Ideally all of it

[hoary scarab]

Holy shit!!!!

[icy shadow]

whatever you’re sending

[hoary scarab]

I fucking got it

[icy shadow]

What did you change?

[hoary scarab]

UTF back to 8 and added +1 again to size

private void handleMOTDRequest(DataInputStream in, DataOutputStream out) {
    try {
        int responseLength = response.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8).length;
        int statusSize = (responseLength+varMethods.createVarInt(responseLength).length);
        
        varMethods.writeVarInt(out, statusSize+1);
        varMethods.writeVarInt(out, 0x00);
        varMethods.writeString(out, response, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
    } catch(IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

[icy shadow]

lol

that's because you weren't including the byte for the string length

[hoary scarab]

Literally been working on this for over a week FML

[icy shadow]

i was gonna mention that but i assumed you'd changed it to this

[hoary scarab]

That was one reason towards the end yeah

[icy shadow]

anyway that approach is not particularly good

you dont wanna be calculating the length manually if you can help it

[hoary scarab]

Yeah I was using bytebuffer but wanted to manually do it for debugging

[icy shadow]

refactor it out, make that method just write the packet id, string length and string, then make a separate thing to write the length (and if you ever get that far, compression)

[hoary scarab]

Just wanted to get this packet down the rest should come naturally now. Damn this took way to long

[icy shadow]

indeed

[hoary scarab]

So just making sure, do you have to add the size before any object other than string?

[icy shadow]

it'll say on the wiki for the corresponding data types, but off the top of my head it's just that and arrays

usually depends on context though

just look it up ad-hoc

[hoary scarab]

👍

Got ping to work first try xD

Although the favicon isn't showing, hmmm

[stuck hearth]

Make sure it's 64x64 or it won't render

[hoary scarab]

It is

Ill try another one here in a bit

[hoary scarab]

Yeah must have been the image I used. Another one worked.

[forest jay]

I have this class: https://paste.helpch.at/awurixahoz.typescript. And I am having issues importing it. It worked like 5 minutes ago, but IntelliJ just started freaking out and now no classes can access that class. I checked the imports, and they are correct. I rebuilt gradle and restarted IntelliJ multiple times. Any ideas?

It is there through Explorer, so I know it is a physical file.

[dusky harness]

is the package correct?

also what happens if you go into that file in IJ?

It is there through Explorer, so I know it is a physical file.

[forest jay]

it is perfectly fine

IntelliJ treats it like normal

until I go into another class

[forest jay]

yes, it is correct

[minor summit]

close intellij and nuke .idea

[forest jay]

I deleted the file and added it back, and now it works. seems like a cache bug or smthing

[minor summit]

or that ig lol

intellij is very silly sometimes

[forest jay]

I am using the beta version, so I guess I cant complain

[dusky harness]

File -> Repair IDE

😌

[minor summit]

last time I tried it none of it worked lol

[fading stag]

I want to change CONTENT of the chests that are generated naturally (Temple chests, Village chests etc)

I'm thinking about what is the best way to do it but I don't have a better idea then listening new chunk create event then looping over all the blocks in it and checking is block a chest (it doesnt sound too optimised lol) is there any better way than this?

[torpid raft]

loot tables?

[fading stag]

Have never heard of it

[torpid raft]

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Loot_table

[fading stag]

Thanks!

[torpid raft]

👍

[fading stag]

It looks like I have to create a data pack instead of a plugin right?

[torpid raft]

i havent dealt with loot tables much so im not positive but there's a very good chance you can also manipulate them with plugins

this seems pretty helpful https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/insert-loot-into-chest-from-custom-loot-table.435965/

[fading stag]

This was very helpful thanks

[torpid raft]

you are very welcome

[amber ferry]

Anyone know how to cancel knockback for when a player hits a nonplayer entitiy with PrococolLib 3.7.0 for Bukkit 1.7.10?

I tried listening for and cancelling the PacketType.Play.Server.ENTITY_VELOCITY packet, but that only seems to cancel knockback for when a player hits another player

[forest jay]

@EventHandler
public void entityDamageByEntityEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
  //do the damage to entity
  event.setCancelled(true);
}```

just manually do the damage and then cancel the event

[forest jay]

What would be the best way to override a default crafting recipe? I know that I can loop through the iterator and make my own, but I saw somewhere that there are hidden recipes that then get ignored. I saw that you can do it through NMS, but the examples were out of date and I couldnt find the modern versions. What is the best way to replace the default crafting recipes?

[vestal talon]

Hello there ,
I linked ProtocolLibAPI to my project and I'm trying to spawn a armorstand and it's not spawning in the world, my code:

public void spawnEntity(Entity entity, Location location) {
        PacketContainer packet = this.getProtocolManager().createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.SPAWN_ENTITY);
        packet.getIntegers().write(1, 1);
        packet.getDoubles().write(0, location.getX());
        packet.getDoubles().write(1, location.getY());
        packet.getDoubles().write(2, location.getZ());
        packet.getEntityTypeModifier().write(0, EntityType.ARMOR_STAND);

        this.getProtocolManager().broadcastServerPacket(packet);
    }
    
    public void despawnEntity(Entity entity) {
        PacketContainer packet = this.getProtocolManager().createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.ENTITY_DESTROY);
        packet.getIntegers().write(0, entity.getEntityId());
        this.getProtocolManager().broadcastServerPacket(packet);
    }

about the entity I provide to spawnEntity they are entities I spawn to the world and right before the spawnEntity i remove them from the world.
What am I missing? (it's the first time using ProtocolLib)

[proud pebble]

maybe https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/spawning-client-side-entities-with-protocollib.552259/ would be helpful

i would assume that your missing the entity's id and UUID

[vestal talon]

I followed the thread and still not spawning 😦

[sonic cobalt]

Does any of you know of a plugin that gives you the ability to add collectibles to your server?

A plugin where people can collect certain limited edition items.

[spiral prairie]

Are there any libs for using HOCON in Java with POJOs?

[icy shadow]

maybe

yes, in fact

[stuck hearth]

I also have heard that

Jackson has a pojo lib, and I think Configurate does this as well

[torpid raft]

HOCON this duck

[river solstice]

is

    @EventHandler
    public void onBlockInteract(CancellableEvent e) {
        if (e.isCancelled()) {
            return;
        }
     ...

is (basically) the same as

    @EventHandler(ignoreCancelled = true)
    public void onBlockInteract(CancellableEvent e) {
        ...
    }

?

[sterile hinge]

yes

[river solstice]

sometimes I'm confused how some people are allowed to code

[tight junco]

if you do java @EventHandler(ignoreCancelled = false) public void onEvent(CancellableEvent e) { } its the exact same as ```java
@EventHandler
public void onEvent(CancellableEvent e) {
}

crazy that right

[minor summit]

no

not in the slightest

[tight junco]

or functionally the same

[minor summit]

(i meant it's not crazy)

[tight junco]

oh

[forest jay]

ha

thats like 6 more steps than it requires

[river solstice]

mind blown ngl

[forest jay]

I am trying to add lore to default vanilla recipes. ```java
List<Recipe> recipes = new ArrayList<>();

for (Iterator<Recipe> it = Bukkit.recipeIterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
Recipe recipe = it.next();

if (recipe.getResult().getItemMeta() == null) {
    System.out.println("Skipped recipe");
    continue;
}

ItemStack item = new ItemConstructor(recipe.getResult())
        .setLore("", ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "§8§lCOMMON"));

if (recipe instanceof ShapedRecipe shapedRecipe) {
    Bukkit.removeRecipe(shapedRecipe.getKey());

    NamespacedKey key = new NamespacedKey(TaleOfKingdoms.getInstance(), shapedRecipe.getKey().getKey());
    ShapedRecipe newRecipe = new ShapedRecipe(key, item);
    newRecipe.shape(shapedRecipe.getShape());
    shapedRecipe.getIngredientMap().forEach((character, itemStack) -> {
        if (itemStack != null) {
            newRecipe.setIngredient(character, itemStack.getType());
        }
    });

    recipes.add(shapedRecipe);
}

if (recipe instanceof ShapelessRecipe shapelessRecipe) {
    Bukkit.removeRecipe(shapelessRecipe.getKey());

    NamespacedKey key = new NamespacedKey(TaleOfKingdoms.getInstance(), shapelessRecipe.getKey().getKey());
    ShapelessRecipe newRecipe = new ShapelessRecipe(key, item);
    shapelessRecipe.getIngredientList().forEach(itemStack -> newRecipe.addIngredient(itemStack.getType()));

    recipes.add(shapelessRecipe);
}

}

for (Recipe recipe : recipes) {
Bukkit.addRecipe(recipe);
}

[river solstice]

what

[hoary scarab]

Pretty sure shaped recipes require a char for air (null) as well...
And debug it, see where the code doesn't function.

Thanks discord... Don't reply when I want you to 🤦

[dense drift]

offline players arent null

[river solstice]

yeah intellij is drunk

[dense drift]

it tells you that the condition is always false because Bukkit#getOfflinePlayer is marked as @Notnull

[dense drift]

well, you dont ovverride the recipes, but add new ones with your own namespace

you should use the namespace of the original recipe

[forest jay]

oh

[vestal talon]

Help please

[forest jay]

I used the original namespace and nothing changed.

[river solstice]

anyone knows a reliable dependency manager at runtime api or wtv?

so I don't have to shade 10 different libs

something like pdm by brister

[dusky harness]

slimjar

or if you're using 1.16+

then spigot itself

[spiral prairie]

although I dont understand why you wouldnt want shading

[dense drift]

Spigot has a size limit for premium plugins, 4.5mb or something

[pulsar ferry]

All plugins have that limit, but free plugins can link to an external download while premium can't

[spiral prairie]

premium cant? damn

[forest jay]

havent some plugins said they are free, but then link to their own website where you pay for it?

[hoary scarab]

Not allowed either. A few have been banned for it.

[frosty laurel]

Anybody have experience automating / outsourcing parts of a project to a remote desktop? Wondering how I can "send" and "return" JSON data with a Remote Desktop

[dusty frost]

SSH, http server

Many options lol

[past ibex]

spigot also injects their DRM into your plugin without a way to turn it off

[warm steppe]

What's a drm?

this?

[dense drift]

yes

[frosty laurel]

Which one is the most low-maintenance easiest solution to implement? The script on my computer is in Python and the script on the remote desktop one is also python
And all I need is the ability to "send" a string (JSON) and "return" a string (also JSON), no added complexity like transferring files or anything like that

[dusty frost]

It really depends on your technical ability, SSH requires like, setting up SSH and opening port 22 (or another one), setting up a certificate, etc. Meanwhile you can spin up a python web server super easily and have it respond to stuff, but you kind of have to know how to program and have experience running services like that

[frosty laurel]

Well the only context I've ever used SSH is for connecting to remote machines or transferring files (SCP)
What protocol would I use to somehow convert SSH into "send" and "receive" type relationship?

[dusty frost]

I mean you can just send JSON or something and put it on a file, I suppose if you're more interested in the request/response relationship a web server would probably be your best bet as they are primarily designed for that

then you'd just use HTTP and stuff, super easy

[signal grove]

i like to use a python api for json

like flask

[dusty frost]

yeah if you just need something quick, flask is a great choice

[forest jay]

here is the updated version:
I want to add a section of lore to every crafting recipe, and using tutorials I found online, this was the best supposed method. It doesnt work as intended, and nothing changes on the crafting result. ```java
List<Recipe> recipes = new ArrayList<>();

for (Iterator<Recipe> it = Bukkit.recipeIterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
Recipe recipe = it.next();

if (recipe.getResult().getItemMeta() == null) {
    System.out.println("Skipped recipe");
    continue;
}

ItemStack item = new ItemConstructor(recipe.getResult())
        .setLore("", ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "§8§lCOMMON"));

if (recipe instanceof ShapedRecipe shapedRecipe) {
    Bukkit.removeRecipe(shapedRecipe.getKey());

    ShapedRecipe newRecipe = new ShapedRecipe(shapedRecipe.getKey(), item);
    newRecipe.shape(shapedRecipe.getShape());
    shapedRecipe.getIngredientMap().forEach((character, itemStack) -> {
        if (itemStack != null) {
            newRecipe.setIngredient(character, itemStack.getType());
        }
    });

    recipes.add(shapedRecipe);
}

if (recipe instanceof ShapelessRecipe shapelessRecipe) {
    Bukkit.removeRecipe(shapelessRecipe.getKey());

    ShapelessRecipe newRecipe = new ShapelessRecipe(shapelessRecipe.getKey(), item);
    shapelessRecipe.getIngredientList().forEach(itemStack -> newRecipe.addIngredient(itemStack.getType()));

    recipes.add(shapelessRecipe);
}

}

for (Recipe recipe : recipes) {
Bukkit.addRecipe(recipe);
}

[unborn ivy]

you could have a system where you have to verify in a discord server to get access to a channel to download the resource from

but it can be easily leaked if someone just copies the file link and sends it to whoever and they will be able to download it aswell

[pulsar ferry]

Not allowed on Spigot

[cunning geyser]

works like that for spigot too

you have to make your own anti-piracy system

[sharp cove]

    if (OorlogSimulatie.instance.getSettingItems().normalSwordBoolean){
                    OorlogSimulatie.instance.getSettingItems().normalSwordBoolean = false;
                }else{
                    OorlogSimulatie.instance.getSettingItems().normalSwordBoolean = true;
                }```
```java
OorlogSimulatie.instance.getSettingItems().normalSwordBoolean = !OorlogSimulatie.instance.getSettingItems().normalSwordBoolean;```

Is this a good way to simplify this?

[torpid raft]

seems fine

[sharp cove]

oke, thanks

[torpid raft]

ignoring the static abuse

[sharp cove]

yes

please haha

its for myself so doesn't really matter here

[torpid raft]

🤷‍♂️

[sharp cove]

Its not open, just private

Why not use it then yk if its making some things so much easier

[torpid raft]

a lot of people would disagree with the premise that it makes things easier

[tight junco]

mostly because you generally want to keep the best practice throughout all your projects to make maintaining the projects way easier long term

you make a plugin that has generally bad practice all throughout

someone else [may] have to work on the plugin, they load it up

https://tenor.com/view/cringe-gif-22260074

[sharp cove]

yeah oke, but thats not the case with this project

normally indeed i don't want to use static abuse or anything

[tight junco]

but regardless its still makes a project harder to maintain

the more you implement static abuse, the harder it gets to work worth the worse it is to maintain

[icy shadow]

Such as me

it may be easier in the short term but it will absolutely make your life harder in the future

you could write all your code in a single class but you end up with very rigid inflexible code

Same principle

does anyone have experience with paypal webhooks? I cant get them to work on sandbox (I don't receive any payload), and they dont even show on the dashboard https://developer.paypal.com/dashboard/webhooks/sandbox

[river solstice]

how do I make sure that the storage field map key/value types are the ones that I define?

[grim oasis]

How do I make it so when I have to specify an api version that it works on multiple server versions instead of just the api I specify?

[river solstice]

I call super with <String, String>, but IDE doesn't understand

[shell moon]

api-version: 1.13

[river solstice]

that the storage field has that type of key/value

[grim oasis]

specifying 1.13 means 1.13+?

[shell moon]

yes

however

i'm not sure about those brand new master daster features

of the new versions (if any)

but about materials

api-version: 1.13

doesnt affect 1.8 - 1.12

and still allows you to use new materials

without LEGACY_NAME

[grim oasis]

hmm ok

not sure why I need it so

lol

[shell moon]

including that thing called block data

or something like that

wonder what are you doing

xd

[grim oasis]

i think it's for cmd

so 1.14

[shell moon]

all my plugins are 1.8.8 - 1.19.3

and never had any issue with api-version

however people say "its not good"

or something

but, 1.8 doesnt care

[grim oasis]

i'll just set to 1.14 and see

thanks

[pulsar ferry]

class SerializableMapStorage<K, V>
protected Map<K, V> storage;
class ResidenceVoteHandler extends SerializableMapStorage<String, String>
// Map is now Map<String, String>

[river solstice]

oh, ok, thanks, totally forgot about this approach

[shell moon]

api-version: 1.14

means minimum required version is 1.14

so should work too

however api-version: 1.13

allows you to use everything (afaik)

including ofc +1.14 exclusive features such custom model data

but if your plugin is +1.14 only, then api-version: 1.14 is fine

[grim oasis]

including?

if you set 1.13?

[vital drum]

wie joine ich servern mit geyser per ip die auf meinem pc gehostet sind ich nutze port freigabe?

how do i join servers with geyser via ip that are hosted on my pc i use port sharing?

[shell moon]

the api version

means that version AND above

never below

thats why you see in spigot those reviews

"Not working in 1.14 ⭐ "

because the developer forgot to set api-version to 1.14

[vital drum]

how do i join servers with geyser via ip that are hosted on my pc i use port sharing?

[shell moon]

or 1.13 in case it allows it

no need to repost the message i think

[shell moon]

wanna know how?

idk if its correct or not what i'll tell you tho

[vital drum]

yes

i wanna know

[vital drum]

yes

[shell moon]

[vital drum]

its working thanks

[pure crater]

is that chatgpt 💀

[river solstice]

yes

[west socket]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to manipulate end crystal beams in 1.8?

[proud pebble]

EnderCrystal#setBeamTarget()

according to the javadocs its not in the api, but could be done through nms i think

right, according to what i found, you can only set the location of the beams with 1.9

from what i gathered i dont believe its possible to change the position it points without modifying the server jar directly

[west socket]

Yeah its not in the APi

Trying to figure out what packet to send

Ah

Maybe I send fake dragon entity?

[proud pebble]

maybe look into the code relating to the end crystal and seeing what mojang does

[west socket]

Yeah I guess that's what I'll have to do

[proud pebble]

probably the best option

[kindred yew]

Hey, so I made special items, but they appear to be very dark in the inventory, Not exactly sure what to do, I angled them so maybe the light source does not hit them correctly, but I want to disabled like the shading on them

[dark garnet]

why https://srnyx.needs.rest/CBWttWAegd.png

i thought string implemented/extended object

[past ibex]

They do, but collections are weird in java

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2745265/is-listdog-a-subclass-of-listanimal-why-are-java-generics-not-implicitly-po

[dark garnet]

so what should i do?

i can change what is required btw, i have it as Collection<Object> cause i wanna allow any type of collection to be used and any type of object

[dusky harness]

i think its like ? extends Object

or smth

oh wait

yeah ig you have to just to map all the values to the new collection

like addAll

[dark garnet]

it also says this: https://media.venox.network/KXYS4Jk0BQ.png

[dusky harness]

for which part

chances are IJ is correct

[dark garnet]

.

[dusky harness]

i mean like what code

[dark garnet]

it fixes it but it just seems so pointless

[dusky harness]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dark garnet]

when returning

[dusky harness]

i mean like what code exactly

oh shoot its midnight

wow

claim ur daily

[dark garnet]

public Collection<Object> onTabComplete(@NotNull AnnoyingSender sender) {
    return TeamManager.getTeamIds(); // <-- this
}

[dusky harness]

🤔

Hm

wait isn't that the code that doesn't compile

[dark garnet]

TeamManager#getTeamIds returns a Set<String>

[dark garnet]

mhm

public Collection<Object> onTabComplete(@NotNull AnnoyingSender sender) {
    return Collections.singleton(TeamManager.getTeamIds()); // <-- this
}

IJ tells me to adapt to that, which works, but again, seems super pointless

[dusky harness]

Nooo

that'll give you a Collection<Set<String>> basically

🥲

[dark garnet]

so true

ugh what do i do 😭

[dusky harness]

I'd recommend returning a Collection<String>

¯_(ツ)_/¯

if that doesn't work u can make a new list and add all of them in a loop

[dark garnet]

what about Collection<?>

[dusky harness]

does Collection<? extends Object> work

[dark garnet]

IJ tells me to remove the extends Object part

[dusky harness]

I'm not sure how looping through ? works

[dark garnet]

https://go-to.srnyx.xyz/HYDeu2OIyu.png

[dusky harness]

ohh ok

then u can just do ?

I wasn't sure

[dusty frost]

iirc it should be a List<String> lol

[dark garnet]

this means that ? by itself already extends object?

[dark garnet]

this is a custom tab completer

[dusky harness]

yea
I recommended that but they need Object for some reason

so I just left it like that

[dusty frost]

regardless, I don't see what other objects you'd allow besides Strings

you have to put them in a Component at some point lol

[dark garnet]

just easier, if i have a list of integers or something i dont have to convert the list to strings. obv not just integers, practically any object

[dusty frost]

so you just call toString() on whatever?

[dark garnet]

String#valueOf to prevent NPE

[dusty frost]

that sounds like a recipe for disaster lol

gonna get a lot of hashcodes

I would just keep it explicit, the whole point of a type system is that you limit what types things can be

and I feel like rarely do you want to return an entire object/that object's toString, you want to return a field of it or a name or something

[dark garnet]

its mainly just for things that ik will return a pretty string

[dusty frost]

so just call it explicitly

return things.stream().map(Item::toString).collect(Collectors.toList());```

[leaden sinew]

Or make a class like

interface Tabbable {

  String getAsTabCompletion();

}

[dusty frost]

but I mean then you're just moving the conversion from a method in the command to a method in the object

which I guess could be a good idea if you're using a lot of the same objects across various commands?

[leaden sinew]

More for this than anything else

[dark garnet]

ye ill probs just stick to Collection<String> (which is what i had before using Object anyways) to keep things simple

[dusty frost]

I would stick to List<String> to have a guaranteed order

[dark garnet]

idc about tab complete order, and a ton (90%) of my methods return sets

[dusty frost]

i mean what if you do though lol

you'd at least want consistent order

might need alphabetical, might want to sort based on popularity or some other metric, etc.

at some point you're going to have to convert that into a List anyways

[dark garnet]

return suggestions.stream()
        .filter(string -> string.toLowerCase().startsWith(args[args.length - 1].toLowerCase()))
        .collect(Collectors.toList());```

[dusty frost]

once again you might as well let the producer decide what that order should be

[dark garnet]

couldnt i still return a List<String> since List extends Collection?

[dusty frost]

you could

but you could also return an unordered set

or an unordered tree

or an unordered hashmap

[dusky harness]

wait hashmap extends Collection?

[dusty frost]

it is indeed a collection lol

[dusky harness]

are you sure

[dusty frost]

it doesn't directly

Map does

[dusky harness]

Map isn't a Collection tho

since iirc Collection has like #add

[dusty frost]

https://i.imgur.com/NTBl7Lq.png

[dusky harness]

ye but i mean the Collections class itself

or interface

I don't know what it is

oh it's an interface

[dusty frost]

The collection interfaces are divided into two groups. The most basic interface, java.util.Collection, has the following descendants:

java.util.Set
java.util.SortedSet
java.util.NavigableSet
java.util.Queue
java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue
java.util.concurrent.TransferQueue
java.util.Deque
java.util.concurrent.BlockingDeque

The other collection interfaces are based on java.util.Map and are not true collections. However, these interfaces contain collection-view operations, which enable them to be manipulated as collections. Map has the following offspring:

java.util.SortedMap
java.util.NavigableMap
java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap
java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentNavigableMap```

[dusky harness]

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Map.html

for ex there's no #add

it doesn't inherit the Collection methods

[dusty frost]

all right I'll concede that it doesn't work for that exact case

but the point still stands that you can pass a lot of non ordered things into it when it should be ordered

[dusky harness]

also I just found out that java has a Dictionary class

by reading the 2nd line of the Map javadoc

lol

[signal lintel]

Hello
My plugin's placeholders stop working after /papi reload
How can I solve this bug?
My code: https://github.com/iBuseWinner/Reputation/blob/master/src/main/java/ru/fennec/free/reputation/handlers/messages/PlaceholderHook.java

[dusty frost]

you're missing this: java @Override public boolean persist() { return true; // This is required or else PlaceholderAPI will unregister the Expansion on reload }

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/PlaceholderExpansion#full-example-2

[signal lintel]

Oki, thank you!

[pulsar ferry]

Why is that not true by default? I feel like that'd be more common than the other way around

[dusty frost]

honestly not sure, backwards compatibility reasons I'm guessing?

don't worry - this'll all be fixed in PAPI 3.0 - coming 2030 😌

[river solstice]

Soon ™️?

[stuck canopy]

What method should I use to store ItemStacks in blocks

like furnace and brewing stand does

[river solstice]

Is it possible to disable block outlines/prevent players targeting specific blocks?
Similar idea like in adventure mode.

[pulsar ferry]

With resource packs yes, without it, probably not

[river solstice]

ah, shucks.

I'd need this functionality specifically for barrier blocks

[hoary scarab]

Barrier blocks don't show unless in creative (the outline) unless holding as well.

[river solstice]

I'm talking about the outline

[hoary scarab]

Oh thats odd.

Thought it didn't show

[pulsar ferry]

Only doesn't in adventure mode

[hoary scarab]

Well you could code a plugin that checks the block you're looking at and switches your gamemode from survival/adventure

[pulsar ferry]

lol

[river solstice]

yeah and no

I still want the game to be playable

lol

[hoary scarab]

Why would that make it unplayable?

[river solstice]

players fighting in the arena, suddenly get switched to adventure mode

back n forth

[pulsar ferry]

I look at a barrier block, oh no I am not invinsible

[hoary scarab]

I'm not seeing the issue lol. Adventure mode just stops you from using tools other then whats needed to mine blocks right?

[signal grove]

well you can still pvp in adventure mode, but its kind of a janky fix. plus players that lagged would randomly not be able to break/place things until they un-lag

[river solstice]

I'm not sure. Might mess with other plugin functionalities

if they only check survival/creative modes.

[signal grove]

i think the idea is to hide barrier blocks, which would still show a split second of the outline if this solution is used anyways

[hoary scarab]

True but if they check survival IDK why adventure wouldn't be checked.

[pulsar ferry]

It's vey unstable

[hoary scarab]

Well... If you don't mind the lag back from ghost blocks... (Running through and being tp'ed back) You can just send the player air blocks where the barrier blocks are.

[pulsar ferry]

What's so bad about the outline anyways?

[river solstice]

immersion

[signal grove]

.

[hoary scarab]

Visibly shows a block. (Which point is specifically not to be seen lol)

[signal grove]

oh i gues not

[pulsar ferry]

If you want immersion throw in a resource pack then ;p

[signal grove]

i assumed your goal was to make like a hidden parkour jump or something. but if it's just meant to restrict players location than probably worldguard would work

[river solstice]

yeah well, I am using WG, but it get's annoying making N different regions for all the restricted areas

if this was possible it would've been nice, but owell

[signal grove]

you could also just make a polygonal region around where players are allowed to be

[hoary scarab]

Basically does the "lag back" scenario though.

[signal grove]

yes

[hoary scarab]

Will tp you back to before you left the region

[past ibex]

fun fact - vanilla doesn't care if you clip vertically upwards through blocks

[past ibex]

then get better plugins lol

adventure has been in the game since 1.8

[past ibex]

meaning that if you put someone in a bedrock cage, they can simply clip through upwards vertically

thanks mojang!

way to support poses

[river solstice]

ah yes, the classic, 'just do X'

world is complete now

all problems solved

[dense drift]

You can not store items in any blocks I think, but you can access the inventory of the said blocks by casting BlockState to the type of block

[pulsar ferry]

Huh? Wdym?

PlayerStatisticIncrementEvent
anyone have experience using this event?

it mentioned its not updated with high frequency
so how frequent exactly is it updated?

is it more like a combination of other events, such as health events and the others?
if it is similar to registering multiple listeners then im using it.
thx in advance!

[river solstice]

public class PlayerStatisticIncrementEvent
extends PlayerEvent
implements Cancellable
Called when a player statistic is incremented.
This event is not called for some high frequency statistics, e.g. movement based statistics.

[edgy lintel]

yes friend, I have checked the doc thx.

im just not sure if it behaves like normal listeners for specific events

or are there any other mechanisms

i need someone that has the experience of using it

[edgy lintel]

anyone that can help me? its kinda urgent so pls
ping me if you have actual info, thx a lot in advance!

[sterile hinge]

well the event isn't triggered for some statistics. but there isn't anything special about it

[edgy lintel]

so it is triggered from normal actions such as damage taken right?
like not the player statistics in the scoreboard or sth?
@sterile hinge (sorry for the ping but really kinda urgent, just a quick answer tho)

[sterile hinge]

https://jd.papermc.io/paper/1.19/org/bukkit/Statistic.html I can't tell you what's considered high frequency of this

[edgy lintel]

ahh damn this looks sus enough

i just wanna know if this event is triggered once the player does the action

or its just a stupid updating task that grabs statistics once in a while

i am interpreting the former from your last message, but i need your confirmation

yeah this certainly looks like a minecraft statistics
sorry im stupid
but i guess its fast enough

[river solstice]

these are not processed by the event

[edgy lintel]

alr thx for your info bro appreciate it

[hoary scarab]

Alot of things that should be in events but are "to spammy" should be sent atleast as an async event so it can atleast be tracked.

[river solstice]

so it 'can' at least be tracked you mean?

[hoary scarab]

Yeah was editing as you sent that xD

Didn't read after I sent it

[leaden sinew]

The game mode, not the library lol

[hallow oak]

trying to add papi support to my plugin but it is not parsing.
it recognizes it as a hook as it is listed in /papi list, but when I do /papi reload it only says 1 placeholder hook registered, that 1 being a different expansion we already have
Here is the class that I do this all in: https://pastebin.com/refaRCnv
and then I register it in the onEnable method in the javaplugin class:

        placeholderManager = new PlaceholderManager(instance);
        placeholderManager.register();

Any ideas?
at a loss here
(I added those log messages to see if it was even parsing, none of those show up in the log)

[proud pebble]

give an example of the placeholder you tried

[hallow oak]

“%goal_TestGoal_parent”

[proud pebble]

your missing the identifier

[hallow oak]

wdym?

OHHH does it have to be “MetaGoals_”

At the beginning?

[proud pebble]

yeah

[hallow oak]

Ahh I see, ty

[proud pebble]

also im not sure if it matters if you have capital letters in your identifier

like the getIdentifier method

[hallow oak]

Using “MetaGoals_TestGoal_parent”, requested gets logged

though it doesn’t appear to get past the length check

[proud pebble]

cus its identifier, then parameters

so thats id + 2 parameters

[hallow oak]

Ah I see! Thank you for your help!

[edgy lintel]

turns out they are kinda good

I want to protect my api from remote code execution (because one of the params it takes is a URL). Suppose I want the url to be accepted if it fits one of these websites: https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html

I could easily split the url with . and see if one of the elements is a valid domain (like youtube twitch), and check if the next element has the correct top-level domain (like .com, etc), but the thing is that I have no idea what the top-level domains for those specific websites are. The list only shows the domains but not the actual top-level domains, so someone could do an attack if they used youtube.net instead of the actual website youtube.com (this is obviously hypothetically speaking). Is there a better way to check url validity in this case?

[river solstice]

well, create a list of legit domains

[proud pebble]

like a whitelist of domains

[torpid raft]

why split the domain name from the tld

oh wait i see, you don't have the tld

tbh that list seems pretty useless, like others have said just build up a list of approved domains as you go

[gritty kayak]

anyone know if the voteparty api is available though maven?

[dusty frost]

even better, have a dropdown they can choose the domain and tld, then put in the code in the second slot

Just trying to figure out if it is available though a public maven repo. So I don't have to mess with trying to add it to my machines local repo.

[forest jay]

On there spigot page it doesnt mention an API, and the source code is private. You can join the discord and ask for it, or you can add it to your local repo. It doesnt look like they have a public api.

this is the VoteParty discord?

override fun onPlaceholderRequest(player: Player?, params: String): String? {
        val rank = AlchemistAPI.findRank(player!!.uniqueId)
        val profile = ProfileGameService.byId(player.uniqueId) ?: return ""

        when (params) {
            "rankDisplay" -> {
                return rank.color + rank.displayName
            }

            "rankPrefix" -> {
                return rank.prefix
            }

            "activeTag" -> {
                return profile.getActivePrefix()?.prefix ?: ""
            }

            "rankWeight" -> {
                return rank.weight.toString()

I currently use ngrok for a http tunnel to my computer's IP so I can test some paypal webhook shit (because they require a domain and dont accept IPs). The problem that I have with ngrok is that the domain is different from a session to another and it is annoying to constantly update the address. Since I host my own domain, I was thinking to redirect all calls to gabytm.me/test/paypal to my-ip:port for example and I was curious if nginx has something for monitoring, to see details about requests (host, headers, method, body, etc.)?

[dusty frost]

could you not just like use Wireguard and reverse proxy from your nginx to your web server and see connection details there?

[dense drift]

Im not sure what that means but I will do some research

How would this work, domain > wireguard > local-ip:port?

[dusty frost]

okay so

wireguard is a VPN that is awesome and requires very little setup and automatically reconnects when your ip changes and everything'

you'd use that to essentially put your server with nginx and your pc you want to receive things on on the same network

then, you can just use nginx reverse proxy to send them to like 10.0.0.1 or whatever you choose your wireguard ip to be, and bam your computer can listen on that channel and get all the webhooks

[pure crater]

I ended up realizing that I could just check for &&, ;, or || because the only way they can execute commands is if they chained commands like that (my api directly uses the url in a process command)

[dense drift]

And how would that help, Star?

[dusty frost]

that would help because it would automatically update whenever your IP changed

and you could still listen to those sweet, sweet webhooks

[dusty frost]

this feels like an injection bug still lmao, it's quite likely impossible to escape everything they could use

[dense drift]

@dusty frost oh no, my ip is not changing that often, but the ngrok domain (they basically give you one like <code>-<ip>.ngrok.io), if I was to use my domain and regirect the traffic to my ip, I would like a monitoring tool, ngrok allow you to see all requests to your domain and your reponse

[pure crater]

Yeah true, I'm not really sure if there is any good way to check for other possibilities

You can (and arguably should) use the worldedit api.

Hi all, I see for quite a long time, PAPI has support for my plugin UltimateVotes, I wanted to expand the available placeholders but I could not find the repository in order to submit a PR to, is that repository no longer available or?

I don't believe there is a repo for it. It might be better to include the expansion in your plugin from this point on vs externally though

[dark garnet]

not sure if this is the place to ask, but im making a discord bot in jda;
im not sure how to go about storing data using mongodb that is per-server
should i create databases for each server or what? i tried googling a bit but found nothing useful

[tired olive]

Just store the guild id in each document

[dark garnet]

ty

[forest jay]

Like Sparky said I would make each document their own guild, and then just have a "id" field that contains the corresponding guild id.

[spiral prairie]

double-sided copier

[heavy wadi]

When multiple plugins write to actionbar, do they simply replace eachothers texts or do they get queued / appended?

[minor summit]

replace

[heavy wadi]

alright, thanky

[icy shadow]

np

[torpid raft]

np

[dark garnet]

no

Autocorrect 😭

[dark garnet]

Yeah this is what I’m doing, each database of different data will have 1 document per server

Wait what about user data? Do I do the same structure (except with user ids instead of guild ids)?

[forest jay]

yeah, make a database for like users, and then each document is a user.

[dark garnet]

should i not create multiple databases like user_levels and user_inventory (just 2 random examples)?

[torpid raft]

user_levels probably wouldn't need a separate table/database

[dark garnet]

just a random example, could be anything

[torpid raft]

any data with a one to one relationship can be put into the same table (in general, not always the best idea tho)

any data that is not one to one probably deserves separate tables

[dark garnet]

one to one?

[torpid raft]

one to one meaning stuff like user <-> age

every user has exactly 1 age

[dark garnet]

what would be an example of not 1-1?

[torpid raft]

let's say exp gains

maybe you have a table that tracks every single exp gain event

which includes the user who gained it, the amount gained, the source of the gain, and the time

one user can have many exp gain events related to them

so you can have one table for users and one for the exp gains

[dark garnet]

would each exp gain have its own document? or would each user have its own document? (in the exp gains table)

[torpid raft]

tbh i'm not too versed in the differences in structure between mongo and sql, i'm giving you this from an sql perspective

[dark garnet]

o

[torpid raft]

but i think each exp gain is a separate document in my example

and each user is also a document

[nimble vale]

hey there, should i create a "async task queue thing" for mysql
because calls are async obviously i am wondering if it can be a mess

[torpid raft]

but in mongodb it might be more correct to embed the exp gain events within the user than to relate them externally, idrk

[torpid raft]

wdym by task queue thing

[dark garnet]

yeah this is the part im not rly sure about

[nimble vale]

i don't know a queue for tasks

to execute the async tasks in order

[torpid raft]

i'd say just make a guild-user document and put all user related stuff for that server in it

not sure if that's the best way mongodb can do it but i dont see any immediate issues with it

[torpid raft]

are you sure you need a queue at all? do you need the tasks to be executed in a specific order

[nimble vale]

like idk thats the question actually

does it need to be

[torpid raft]

i mean probably not, depends on your usecase though

[nimble vale]

like for example lets say i am creating a home and deleting after that
should create home first and then delete

[torpid raft]

maybe your later queries will depend on the actions of your prior ones and you can't reverse the order

[nimble vale]

but in a scenerio that idk if that can happen

delete action can switch with the create

[nimble vale]

actually it sounds pretty nice and feels safe

it just sounds safe

[torpid raft]

i actually don't know enough to tell you that what you are worried about (generally) won't ever be a problem

but you probably won't have the issues you are worried about

as long as you don't do silly stuff like try to delete before you create a home

[nimble vale]

yeah lol

i considered lagging

may be the cause

[torpid raft]

are you using a thread pool manager to handle your sql connections

just out of curiosity

[nimble vale]

hikaricp

[torpid raft]

ok

[nimble vale]

if that is what you are asking about

[torpid raft]

yea

[torpid raft]

oh wait are you already experiencing the issues you were talking about

[nimble vale]

does that do this for me

[torpid raft]

it's very smart, idk for sure if it handles this but the docs on it will tell you more

[nimble vale]

no i didnt mean that

[torpid raft]

ok

[nimble vale]

just wondering if tasks order can corrupt somehow because of lagging

[nimble vale]

i am checking thanks for the idea

[torpid raft]

idk if it applies to this exact case but i know there's a way for you to bundle multiple sql statements together and ensure that they are treated as atomic

so that you are guaranteed both the order and that either all or none of them are executed

[nimble vale]

you mean the

something like this

"create 1; create 2"

[torpid raft]

mm i dont think just that is enough, not sure tho

let me look into it one sec

[nimble vale]

like more than one queries in a single query

i found this

[torpid raft]

ah i found it, it's called a transaction

[nimble vale]

that would fix the problem mostly

[torpid raft]

yeah again not sure if transactions are exactly what you want but they offer a lot of protection for various situations

tbh if you're really worried about this you can always execute the query on the main thread/sync (obv not wait for it the whole time but just get it started), would solve the out of order worries i would think

[nimble vale]

yeah it makes sense

[nimble vale]

wdym by get it started in the main thread

is there a thing such as starting in main thread and continuing async

[torpid raft]

actually maybe im lying

hold on a sec

[nimble vale]

also i think that queue thing that i said before it's not gonna work as a i expected

because even if you order them they are still async so eta depends on the execution speed of tasks etc.

[torpid raft]

yeah idk bottom line this is
a) a good question for someone who knows exactly what hikaricp / the jdbc / sql is doing
b) probably nothing to worry about

[forest jay]

no, you would have fields in the document for those things. It would be inefficient and a lot more work imo to do something like that.

[nimble vale]

yeah probably a stupid or genius question

[torpid raft]

yea

[nimble vale]

i will search it for a while

if i find something precious

[forest jay]

here is an example

[nimble vale]

i'll leave it here

[torpid raft]

yeah please do ping me if you find anything out

i'm invested now

[nimble vale]

lol thanks for the support 🤝

[torpid raft]

ofc ofc

[dark garnet]

so all data specific to the user inside one document?

[forest jay]

yeah, or at least most

In most cases there is not a need for multiple documents

[dark garnet]

what about global vs per-server data?

[forest jay]

for that, I would create a database for global, and a database per server, and then just store user data that way.

[torpid raft]

would you even want a database / collection per server

that's like, equivalent to making a new table per server in sql right?

[forest jay]

I am not sure about SQL, I know nothing

[torpid raft]

i'm referencing this image because i barely know mongodb

[forest jay]

yea

[torpid raft]

would you need to manually create each collection

[forest jay]

no

you can do it all through code

[torpid raft]

well right but

i should ask is it good practice to scale the number of collections which exist to N

or should you only ever have a constant amount

[forest jay]

I mean, if you have under 100 servers, there shouldnt be any problems

hell, under 1000000

like, there shouldnt be any issues, and the efficiency will be decreased, but not by much

but there would be some serious issues in your overall design for your code/server if you want that many collections

[torpid raft]

right

i think a nice and pretty solution would just be to have one table with documents which denote which server they belong to

that way it scales to however many servers you want

[forest jay]

but the code isnt as clean, and there would be a lot more documents in each collection

you would have to filter each document for the server you are looking for

[torpid raft]

that's true, at that point i'm sure you can index the documents though

[forest jay]

idk, imo it would be messier and I wouldnt do it that way, but that is just me. Idk the best solution.

[torpid raft]

if mongodb lets you do that

[forest jay]

you can

[torpid raft]

yeah idk either tbh

[forest jay]

mongodb is powerful if used correctly, and I dont know how to use correctly lol

[torpid raft]

xd

[dark garnet]

well under

[dark garnet]

oh database?

sry i just pinged u twice

[forest jay]

your good

[supple oar]

you're*

[forest jay]

your*

[minor summit]

both of you are wrong

[dusky harness]

I'm not wrong

😃

no

😺

[supple oar]

i am twisty

[dark garnet]

so a structure like this? https://paste.srnyx.xyz/gefuvuliqi.txt

[dense drift]

warnings could be in their own database

[sharp ibex]

Hey,

I need to edit a plugin. The plugin has Custom effects in minecraft but i want it so it doesn't at certain areas. cause we want to make an event map but the custom effects still work in there and its unfair for the other people.

[tight junco]

nice

and?

[river solstice]

ok

[sharp ibex]

it was a question do some people know how

[river solstice]

well, you needing to do X doesn't tell much

[tight junco]

it wasn't even a question

it was just a statement saying you need to do something

[arctic ermine]

People I need your help

[!] Game is currently whitelisted, wait until whitelist is disabled.

I am getting this error every time, I tried everything. From checking startup commands, to all .ymls, to server properties.

Whitelist stays on.

[tight junco]

there's probably a different plugin thats causing that

but that's for #general-plugins not here so

[arctic ermine]

I deleted everything expect of imanity spigot and aquauhc.

[tight junco]

Is your whitelist message in spigot.yml set to that

the message thats showing

if yes, the issue is something in spigot probably idk

if not, the issue is with aquauhc

[lyric gyro]

Can we see the error?

[arctic ermine]

[!] Game is currently whitelisted, wait until whitelist is disabled.

[tight junco]

this is still not the right channel

[lyric gyro]

It is Aqua. That [!] is your prefix.

[lyric gyro]

Already fixed it for him 🤣

[arctic ermine]

How can I get rid of it;

[lyric gyro]

Technically, you can't. You will just have to replace Face's name with yours in the config.

[arctic ermine]

Thanks.

[tight junco]

wow that sounds terrible

[grand zodiac]

Hey. I'm having an issue and I am so confused because I don't even know where to start in terms of debugging.

    @EventHandler
    public void onInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent event) {
        System.out.println("1");
        if (!event.getView().getTitle().startsWith("Corpse")) {
            System.out.println("Title does not start with Corpse");
            return;
        }
        System.out.println("2, Title does start with Corpse");
        ItemStack clickedItem = event.getCurrentItem();
        if (clickedItem == null || clickedItem.getType() == Material.AIR) {
            System.out.println("Item is null");
        //    return;
        }
        System.out.println("3");
        //if (event.getClick() == ClickType.SHIFT_LEFT || event.getClick() == ClickType.SHIFT_RIGHT) {
            System.out.println("4");
            // Declare
            Database db = new Database();
            Inventory inventory = event.getInventory();
            InventoryView inventoryview = event.getView();
            String npc_id = inventoryview.getTitle().replaceAll("[\\D]", "");
            System.out.println(npc_id); // Developer note
            System.out.println("5");

            // Update the inventory in the database
            String inventoryString = BukkitSerialization.toBase64(event.getInventory(), event.getView().getTitle());
            System.out.println("6");
            // update the inventory in the database
            try {
                System.out.println("7");
                PreparedStatement updateInv = db.getConnection().prepareStatement("UPDATE corpses SET base64=? WHERE id=?");
                updateInv.setString(1, inventoryString);
                updateInv.setString(2, npc_id);
                updateInv.executeUpdate();
            } catch (SQLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        //}
    }```

The point of this method is to update the Database whenever the inventory is modified, as I store a base64 encoded version of the inventory in the Database. However, if a player takes an item out or puts an item in, it doesn't update -- However, if they take multiple items in or out, they all update except for one, how would one go about fixing this? I am so confused.

[wary spindle]

Quick question

Is this code using java syntax properly?

if (yours.getLeader().getCombo >= opponent.getLeader().getCombo) then (display "§a" + yours.getLeader().getCombo() + "Combo") else if (opponent.getLeader().getCombo >= yours.getLeader.getCombo) then (display "§c" + opponent.getLeader.getCombo + "Combo") else (display "§fNo Combo")

[sterile hinge]

no

[wary spindle]

How can I make it follow java's syntax?

[sterile hinge]

by learning Java

[wary spindle]

I'm currently learning java

@sterile hinge Is this better?

if (yours.getLeader().getCombo >= opponent.getLeader().getCombo)
then
(display "§a" + yours.getLeader().getCombo() + "Combo")
} else if {
(opponent.getLeader().getCombo >= yours.getLeader.getCombo)
then (display "§c" + opponent.getLeader.getCombo + "Combo")
} else {
(display "§fNo Combo")

[signal grove]

anyone know exactly what caused the newer versions bow boosting mechanics to change?

im making an "old bow boosting" plugin, i could jank it by having it boost under certain conditions, but i think it'd be best to find out what happened so i can reverse it better

[dusky harness]

btw old bow boosting is also very messy

servers with bow boosting have a custom plugin (even on 1.8)

i remember making a bow boosting plugin a while ago

was pretty fun to fly everywhere lol but wasn't that good

I think what happens is that if the arrow has been alive for too little then it won't do anything

that's just a guess though

high chance that's wrong

[signal grove]

if that's the case i could just make the life longer

[wary spindle]

What is wrong with this code?

[dusky harness]

you'd still want to handle the projectile hit anyways

because you can't really bow boost without modifying the velocity

[signal grove]

what do you mean

the normal velocity is fine, no?

or did that change in newer versions as well

[dusky harness]

no - whatever server you bow boosted on - they use a custom plugin afaik

[signal grove]

removing the randomness from shots is already handled

[dusky harness]

idk then
it's been months since I made the bow boosting plugin

[signal grove]

ill try adding to its ticks lived and see if that lands a hit

[dusky harness]

oh is that an actual variable?

[signal grove]

yes

[dusky harness]

maybe I just got that guess from deep inside my memory

[signal grove]

it doesnt seem to let me boost when i set to 100, so either something else has changed, or i'm setting it before it spawns or something

[dusky harness]

you can use either paperweight or sponge's tool to see the inner workings

both gradle only 🙃

i hope you use gradle 😌

[signal grove]

no, but ive only written an event listener really so its not hard to change

[dusky harness]

dw for sponge's tool you don't incorporate it into a plugin anyways

it's just to view minecraft server code

(without spigot)

and paperweight is typically used within plugins since it includes paper (and spigot)

lemme see if i can find it

[signal grove]

yeah im using spigot

[dusky harness]

https://github.com/SpongePowered/VanillaGradle

bardy was the one that told me about it

[pulsar ferry]

Need context, what language is that? And what do you expect it to do that it isn't doing?

[wary spindle]

It's Java, and I'm trying to make it get the target's ping

It gives me an error

Saying that int cannot be converted to java.lang.String

[signal grove]

use int() instead of Integer()

or you may not even need to cast it at all

what does PlayerUtil.getPing() return

[wary spindle]

The player's ping

[signal grove]

what type

[wary spindle]

Int, I think

I'm just starting to code

I can give you the code, if you want.

[signal grove]

sure, put it in ?paste

https://github.com/MinemenFree/Practice/blob/fixes/src/main/java/rip/crystal/practice/match/duel/DuelProcedure.java

[signal grove]

oh that works too

yes, PlayerUtil.getPing() returns an int

[wary spindle]

I don't know how to make it work, however

[signal grove]

im assuming this is someone elses github

since its a fairly large project

[wary spindle]

It's a fork

[signal grove]

im probably misunderstanding something, but to me it looks like it should be

.add("{target_ping}", String.valueOf(PlayerUtil.getPing(target)))

ah

[wary spindle]

I tried that alr

[signal grove]

and what does it say then

[wary spindle]

It says that it can't be converted to java.lang.String

[signal grove]

earlier in your file,

PlayerUtil targetPing = PlayerUtil.getPing(target);
PlayerUtil senderPing = PlayerUtil.getPing(sender);

these should both be errors also, they should both be "int" instead of PlayerUtil types

[wary spindle]

They work, tho

[signal grove]

i dont think so... are you using an IDE?

[wary spindle]

not anymore

[wary spindle]

no

[signal grove]

what are you using to code

this should probably be figured out first

[pulsar ferry]

Also Integer(PlayerUtil.getPing(target)) is not a thing, and your IDE would yell at you

[wary spindle]

github.com, and github.dev

My computer can't run IDEs

13GB left

Actually 15GB left, but still

[signal grove]

okay, so when you say "it works", you probably are just committing to github right

[pulsar ferry]

What IDE are you thinking that you can't run with 15GB??

[wary spindle]

IntelIJ?

Eclipse?

That's in storage, btw

not in RAM

[signal grove]

i dont think you'll have a fun time coding without an IDE, it's necessary especially on big projects like that

[wary spindle]

I do one thing at a time

[pulsar ferry]

Well good luck

[signal grove]

but each step is never checked

lots of small commits can all be wrong (we see many are in this case)

[lyric gyro]

when creating a new file variable, what would the path be to get a .schem file in the plugin's folder? would i just do something like ./plugins/mypluginname/?

[pulsar ferry]

From your plugin instance you can use getDataFolder to get the exact folder your plugin uses

[lyric gyro]

oh that's nice! thank you

[lyric gyro]

getting the error Not all platforms have been registered yet! Please wait until WorldEdit is initialized. when attempting to execute this line of code Clipboard clipboard = reader.read();
not sure why this is happening?

[signal grove]

make sure WorldEdit is added as a dependency in your plugin.yml

that will force it to load first

[lyric gyro]

i have this in my plugin.yml depend: [WorldEdit]

[signal grove]

not sure, maybe you have to wait for some event for worldedit to initialize

[minor summit]

can't really say much without seeing the rest of the code

[lyric gyro]

ClipboardFormat format = ClipboardFormats.findByFile(file);
ClipboardReader reader = format.getReader(new FileInputStream(file));
Clipboard clipboard = reader.read();```
that's all the code that uses the worldedit api and the error occurs on the last line

[signal grove]

what method are we in, onEnable()?

[wary spindle]

I fixed it

Wanna see my creative fix?

[lyric gyro]

separate function created in main file but called within a command

[wary spindle]

Will also help folks having the same issue.

[dusky harness]

show your pom.xml/build.gradle

too many times people accidentally shade the plugin in

[wary spindle]

.add("{target_ping}", String.valueOf(PlayerUtil.getPing(target))) Didn't work for me, and after alot of messing around, I got to this (fully works, btw):
.add("{target_ping}", Integer.toString(PlayerUtil.getPing(target)))

[dusky harness]

odd, but if it works, it works

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wary spindle]

It was throwing an error saying that it couldn't convert Int to java.lang.String

[signal grove]

those two lines should really be doing the same thing

im guessing there was another issue somewhere down the line

but sure

[dusky harness]

yeah

that's what I assume

[lyric gyro]

sorry, i'm dumb. do you just mean what is inside pom.xml?

[dusky harness]

yes

[dusky harness]

ummm
that code shouldn't be compiling at all

[wary spindle]

@dusky harness Do you agree?

[dusky harness]

no - the purpose of String.valueOf is to have a general all-in-one method to combine other methods like Integer.toString

[dusky harness]

you don't have worldedit in ur pom.xml

rye what IDE do you use

ex eclipse, intellij

you might be using whatever build system is inside the IDE instead of maven

[lyric gyro]

intellij

[wary spindle]

I changed nothing else

[dusky harness]

how are you importing the worldedit dependency/jar/etc?

because your pom.xml only includes spigot-api

[lyric gyro]

i thought i had the worldedit stuff inside the pom.xml

[wary spindle]

I can give him the worldedit's pom.xml thingy

[dusky harness]

ok wb this:
what are you doing to create your jar file

like what buttons do you press

[lyric gyro]

build artifacts

[royal cypress]

Hmm so how was it created or who created it? What do you mean "include expansion" ? Is there a new way of adding placeholders now ?

[dusky harness]

yeah I think that's the issue
You're using IntelliJ's build tool, not maven's

[wary spindle]

github?

[lyric gyro]

oh lmao

[wary spindle]

I use github for compiling

[grim oasis]

Build the expansion inside your plugin, yes. https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/PlaceholderExpansion#with-a-plugin-internal-class

Doesn't need to have a repo to be created, clip created it in 2017.

[dusky harness]

ye 🥲
ex try double click control -> type mvn clean package

and you should be getting some errors

[lyric gyro]

added worldedit stuff to pom.xml and it says build success

[dusky harness]

that's how you create (or in maven's terms, package) a jar

[dusky harness]

alr - send pom.xml once again

so that i can make sure

[royal cypress]

Right so that means a new dependency for my plugin that hooks into papi right?

[lyric gyro]

that's funny lmao i guess i've never used apis so i've never noticed

https://paste.helpch.at/anarijumax.xml

[grim oasis]

I don't know what you mean by "new dependency"

[dusky harness]

🥲 🥲
typically people using Eclipse run into this issue since it's literally just a "Export JAR" button or smth

but hey, at least now you know how to use intellij's build system

🙃

[dusky harness]

yeah this should work fine

[royal cypress]

Right let me re-phrase it. Is there an example of doing this?

[grim oasis]

Yes, the example is linked

[lyric gyro]

yep haha thank you so much lmao

[dusky harness]

run the command i put above and the jar should be in the target folder

np 😃

[signal grove]

for intellij i use an addon called "Minecraft Development", it basically generates a default plugin for you and sets up the build configuration

[royal cypress]

Oh sorry I missed that, let me take a look. Thanks

[grim oasis]

was edited in 😉

[signal grove]

makes it really easy

[lyric gyro]

that's what i use aswell

[dusky harness]

ah that's probably how you ended up using intellij's tool instead

[signal grove]

ah, you wont need to use build artifacts then, you can just run it (it comes with a default config)

[dusky harness]

since maven's the default ( 🤢 )

[signal grove]

it has a gradle option too

[lyric gyro]

the more you know

[dusky harness]

oh?

that's neat

f10 ez

[signal grove]

yeah i jst click new "spigot plugin", fill in some details, and then click the big green arrow

ez plugins

[dusky harness]

I'm thinking of making a program to create a project (theres someone in another server who uses like a shell script but I don't know scripting enough to do that lol) since minecraft dev is a bit limited and i end up changing all the files anyways

but

i've been thinking of that for like a year and still haven't done it

even though it'd probably save me like 5 min

[signal grove]

im really surprised the tutorials on youtube dont use the Minecraft Development addon

[dusky harness]

yeah

well

I know one that does

I don't remember the name though

the one I used to learn didn't use it though

it used eclipse 💀

[signal grove]

me too

[stuck hearth]

Just make file templates tbh

[lyric gyro]

and worldedit has to be added to the libraries, right?

[spiral prairie]

nope

just maven

[signal grove]

when you compile itll do all that stuff for you

[lyric gyro]

o, so is the worldedit stuff being red fine?

[signal grove]

yeah, after build it should not be red

[dusky harness]

make sure u click the little maven refresh icon

it appears whenever you modify pom.xml afaik
