[minor summit]

it does do that

[spiral prairie]

what if they dont have permission for a disc?

itll break yey

[spiral prairie]

[dense drift]

no it won't if you do it properly

[spiral prairie]

im doing it properly my guy

there shouldnt be any breaking here

[dense drift]

if (has permission) return;
setItemInHand(item without skin);
cancelEvent();```

[spiral prairie]

if the api made logical sense

[dense drift]

The item is used on the jukebox and you also add it back to the inventory

[dense galleon]

https://paste.helpch.at/opajeyijaw.bash well, that ain't working too

[spiral prairie]

i dont want to cancel the event

sorry

[dense drift]

ok then cancel it only if the item is a disk and the block is a jukebox ?

[spiral prairie]

i guess that could work

nobody will notice it

[dense drift]

and there's event.getUsedItem() or something

[spiral prairie]

yup noticed that

[broken elbow]

The paper_latest_build_url seems to be wrong

[dense galleon]

Yeah looks like it

[broken elbow]

easy fix seems like

[dense galleon]

I can't find the link

[broken elbow]

https://paste.helpch.at/ulipejewud.bash

it needs to contain the build number as well

[dense galleon]

Ah I forgot what the paper naming convention is mb

[broken elbow]

tho it might still not completely work tho. don't know enough bash but it seems like instead of it going to put the jars in servers/server1/paper.jar it will just put it in server1/paper.jar

[dense galleon]

Nah it works it works

[broken elbow]

ok then

[dense galleon]

It loops through all the directories in servers

[broken elbow]

interesting

yes but those are just strings

aren't they?

[dense drift]

curl -s -L -o "${server_dir}/paper.jar" "${paper_latest_build_url}" this is the download part

[dense galleon]

I assume it goes inside each directory when it loops?

I don't know bash much either, hence I am using ChatGPT for it

[broken elbow]

oh wait. there's more to the for loop then I saw

[broken elbow]

yeah but the link it built was just wrong

[dense galleon]

Honestly, ChatGPT can be really good if used correctly

It can be used a bit too much for spoonfeeding though

I mean I am being spoonfed bash code rn, but I genuinely cba to learn bash just to play around with Bungeecord

Specially since i'll move on to ptero soon

In ArrowKt, how to I map Nel<Ior<A, B>> into Ior<Nel<A>, Nel<B>>

[dense galleon]

Bit of a weird request

Does anyone have an example BungeeCord plugin that I can clone?

My IntelliJ is completely broken and wont let me create new projects

[dense galleon]

Is it normal for Bungeecord plugin data folders to be named com.example.artifact.MainClass?

[proud pebble]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/create-your-first-bungeecord-plugin-proxy-spigotmc/

oh, it cant create any projects at all, thought it was just hte minecraft dev plugin that was acting up

tbh might be worth reinstalling intellij if its not functioning correctly

[tardy cosmos]

Planning to make an economy plugin based around BigDecimal, how should I go about storing that in an SQLite/MySQL database? As a DECIMAL or TEXT value? It seems like SQLite doesn't actually support a DECIMAL data type so might have to go with TEXT?

[dense drift]

I'd say TEXT

[minor summit]

store as blob and use jvm serialization

gaby no xD

[dense drift]

I almost used a super reaction

someone on SO also suggested that 🤣

[minor summit]

i mean, it is valid

just, eh, jvm serialization isn't particularly encouraged for long term storage

[tardy cosmos]

so are we decided on text then?

[dense drift]

I don't think any database will directly support BigDecimal as a number

or well not sqlite/mysql

[minor summit]

actually hold on

yeah ig go with text

[sterile hinge]

decimal should work I guess

[tardy cosmos]

Jdbc directly supports BigDecimal and MySQL works with it, SQLite just doesn't have a data type for it so I think TEXT is going to have to be the answer

[shell moon]

Also interested in that answer

[dreamy elk]

Hey, how does ArmorStandManipulateEvent works? Its not getting triggered when i click the armor stand

Is there something else to be done?

[river solstice]

Did you read the docs

'Called when a player interacts with an armor stand and will either swap, retrieve or place an item.'

[night ice]

Oo…so which event should be used? EntityInteractAtEntityEvent ? Or is there anyother event to check clicks?

[river solstice]

EntityInteractEvent when getEntity() is not null and armor stand

[night ice]

Yeah..will check it out

[somber gale]

Anyone here having knowledge with GitHub Actions in terms of releases?
Like I want to update my current action to trigger on release (no matter if normal or pre-release), but only trigger specific steps/jobs based on whether it is a pre-release or a normal one.

[daring light]

Hey, i have a Plugin that uses this Methode, my plugin has 1.17.1 and 1.18.1 support.

public void sendLabyModMessage( Player player, String key, JsonElement messageContent ) {
        byte[] bytes = getBytesToSend( key, messageContent.toString() );

        PacketDataSerializer pds = new PacketDataSerializer( Unpooled.wrappedBuffer( bytes ) );
        PacketPlayOutCustomPayload payloadPacket = new PacketPlayOutCustomPayload(new MinecraftKey("labymod3:main"), pds );
        ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().b.sendPacket( payloadPacket );
        
}

Now i have the problems that this imports...

import net.minecraft.network.PacketDataSerializer;
import net.minecraft.network.protocol.game.PacketPlayOutCustomPayload;
import net.minecraft.resources.MinecraftKey;

are the same name on the two Versions but they have not the exact same methods.
Here an Example 1.17.1:
((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().b.sendPacket( payloadPacket );

Here an Example 1.18.1:
((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().b.a( payloadPacket );

***the two methods uses the same imports. Can anyone help me fix this Problem?

[dense drift]

Use multiple modules and then load the correct one depending on the version that you are on

[daring light]

I do that with example this import because it has every verion another name:
import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_17_R1.entity.CraftPlayer;
and:
import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_18_R1.entity.CraftPlayer;

But the imports i showed in the last message have the same package name

[dense drift]

Not what I meant

[daring light]

Can you explain it to me? Do you mean in the pom.xml

[dense drift]

Create separated maven/gradle modules for each version, or use reflection

[daring light]

Oh, that works?

[dense drift]

What is 'that'?

[daring light]

Thanks for your help i will try to do that with sperated maven modules

[dense drift]

Np

[daring light]

I've never done this before, can you explain how it works? Unless it's too complicated then I'll have to figure it out myself

[feral raptor]

Having some trouble understanding something regarding custom Events.. So when you want to have a class call that event, do you have to instantiate a new Event every time or can the same Event object be re-used?

        CustomEvent customEvent = new CustomEvent(); //can be re-used?
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().callEvent(customEvent); //event call
        Bukkit.getPlayer("bitcash").sendMessage(customEvent.getData()); //what is the legality of this?

Additionally, for line 3 in the code above, how exactly is that code legal? a Listener was never initialized to listen for this event, so how am I able to use this event to gather data?

Alternatively, is there even a need to initialize this event? What stops me from just doing this

Bukkit.getPluginManager().callEvent(new CustomEvent());

[ocean raptor]

when you call the event bukkit uses the object you provided and other plugins edit that object with their listeners

so yes you need to use the same instance

[ocean raptor]

it is totally okay and you can use it but you must be aware, any changes made to that object will not change anything

for example if your event implements cancellable you need to use first example you sent

but of course, do not use the same event instance everytime you use callEvent, you need to use a new one

[patent vapor]

Hi

[feral raptor]

That make sense, though what changes do Listeners actually make to an Event object?

[patent vapor]

I am currently having a problem adding a command in one of my menus using DeluxeMenus, I know it is probably something silly, but could someone help me, I think it is because it is a very long command because it is a written book that the user receives when clicking on a button in the menu.

[river solstice]

nothing stops you from doing this

[river solstice]

you seem a bit confused on how OOP works

class MyEvent ... {
  private int myInt = 0;

  public MyEvent(int otherInt) {
    myInt = otherInt;
  }

  public int squaredInt() {
    return myInt * myInt;
  }
}

If you call the event, ex.:
Bukkit.getPluginManager().callEvent(new MyEvent(1));

then all the listeners will get this object instance, with myInt equal to 1.

so if I have a listener

@EventHandler
public void iNeedAnInt(MyEvent event) {
  System.out.println(event.squaredInt()); // 1
}

of course, the listeners can also modify the object instance, its fields, whatever.

But generally you create a new instance of the event each time you call the event

[muted trench]

If anyone could help with this: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/making-client-register-fake-commands.597794/

If you have any ideas please @ me

[muted trench]

oh boy

what packet is that?

[proud pebble]

i would assume https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Commands

so ClientboundCommandsPacket or PacketPlayOutCommands

[night ice]

Hey...So I have a problem now, I am adding a player as passenger to an armor stand. So the problem is as soon as I add the passenger, I am being removed from the armorstand as a passenger (atleast visually, because when I restart the server, I am sitting above the armorstand). Have anyone faced this issue prior? or have the solution for it...

The server is 1.12.2 btw

The return of addPassenger also returns true

https://i.gyazo.com/b88ab7a30b6808fa12cf36c2522543e5.mp4

This is how it seems...

[kindred wedge]

That's weird, looked like something kicks you from the armorstand. Maybe another plugin that is removing you from it? Or maybe you do accidently doing something weird in your code? This works for me:

    event.getEntity().addPassenger(event.getDamager());
}```

You also can do this for a EntityInteractEvent afcourse, code is writen in 1.19. But in 1.12 you are using getEntity().setPassenger() I think instead of addPassenger(). Maybe there is a 'Entity remove passenger' package or something you can intercept and then check who or what causes that package. Or disable all the other plugins you are using one by one and check again and again. To check if one of the other plugins causes this.

[night ice]

Yeah, let me try with setPassenger (tho its deprecated). But the fact it still sets you as a passenger even after the server restarts still puts me that its somekind of visual glitch or so...

[kindred wedge]

Ohh if it's deprecated you need to indeed use addPassenger. And else try to remove all the plugins, make a new plugin with only the entityInteract or Damage event inside it and the code to sit on the armorstand. Then you can get maybe a idea where it's coming from.

[night ice]

yeah...will do..

[dense galleon]

How long does it take for my IntellIJ project to view updates in my .m2 directory?

I deleted a repository there 5 minutes ago and it still sees it, though I tried reloading the project from the disk and invalidating caches/restarting

Ofc reimported maven dependencies too

[dense drift]

What would be a lightweight framework for a simple http server? I need it for a plugin and it will be a callback for Discord's OAuth2
Edit: I will try the build-in HttpServer

[hoary scarab]

int port = 8080;
public int getPort() {
    return port;
}
    
public void setPort(int port) {
    this.port = port;
}
    
private ServerSocket server;
public ServerSocket getServer() {
    if(server != null)
        return server;
        
    try {
        server = new ServerSocket(port);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return server;
}
    
@Override
public void run() {
    for(;;) {
        try {
            Socket incoming = getServer().accept();
            //TODO RateLimit
            Thread connection = new Thread(new Handler(incoming));
            connection.run();
                
            if(isStopped.get() || inputThread.isInterrupted())
                getServer().close();

[dense drift]

No thank you

[hoary scarab]

"simple http server"

[icy shadow]

💀

[hoary scarab]

Curious what you think is the problem with it though?

[torpid raft]

for(;;) 😠

[hoary scarab]

Constant loop in its own thread... Whats the issue?

[torpid raft]

not a real issue but i dont like seeing for(;;) instead over while(true)

[hoary scarab]

If i did while I would have to add a sleep

[torpid raft]

huh why?

[hoary scarab]

IDK Just would feel like it wouldn't receive connections. IDK if its since been fixed.

[torpid raft]

afaik there shouldnt be any difference between using for(;;) and while(true)

they both just loop foreva

[hoary scarab]

Ill switch it if I ever use that server again lol

[torpid raft]

😌

[hoary scarab]

Actually I think I have the same code in my server software so Ill test it there

[minor summit]

that is, specifically, the lack of framework, lol

also connection.run will not spin a new thread, Thread#start does

[hoary scarab]

Its the method in my handler class

[minor summit]

no.. you're calling it on the Thread class

that will not create a new thread, Thread#start does

[hoary scarab]

Ah yeap.

My handler just overrides run()

[minor summit]

that's not-- you are sti

whatever

[torpid raft]

stinky

[minor summit]

rude

i just took a shower

[torpid raft]

you smell (good?)

[hoary scarab]

Thread runs the run method of the runnable handler is a runnble

[minor summit]

yes, but no new thread is ever created to run the handler

it will run synchronously

[hoary scarab]

Yeah I see what you meant (hence why I said "ah yeap")

[dense galleon]

Question

I made a common library which my Bungeecord plugin(s) and Paper plugin(s) will depend on.
I want to make sure this library is compiled alongside the rest of the plugin. How do I do that?

I was looking at how triumphcmd does it, but to me it looks like they just omit <scope>provided</scope>. Is it that simple?

[tight junco]

<scope>provided</scope> is basically the compileOnly function from gradle

which means the dependency isnt included in the plugin file and it obtained elsewhere

[dense galleon]

okay

But how do I make sure the dependency is included in the final jar?

[broken elbow]

What you want is scope compile and to use the maven shading plugin or whatever it is called

[dense galleon]

So I just add this: https://paste.helpch.at/ciyuvuhoti.xml to the pom.xml of my bungeecord plugin?

And then write <scope>compile</scope> in the dependency section?

Looks like it worked so I suppose that's the case

[broken elbow]

I believe so. If you look under <execution>, you've set the phase as package so the plugin will execute whenever the package task is executed

[dense galleon]

Is it bad practice to have a method in my plugin's main class like this one?

    public static KlyNetCore getInstance() {
        return getPlugin(KlyNetCore.class);
    }```

So that my other plugins which depend on it, can get access to instances of classes present in KlyNetCore?

I use dependency injection everywhere within the project, but outside of it I was thinking of getting the instance with that method

[hoary scarab]

No, but you should probs generate an instance. IDK how your getPlugin(<>) method works.
ex;

public class <Main> extends JavaPlugin {
    private static <Main> instance;

    public void onEnable() {
        instance = this;
    }

    public static <Main> getInstance() {
        return instance;
    }
}

[dense galleon]

It's a built-in method within JavaPlugin

[broken elbow]

If it's meant for other plugins, then I can recommend the ServiceManager.

[dense galleon]

wha

[broken elbow]

Here's an old but still great post about it https://bukkit.org/threads/services-api-intro.26998/

[dense galleon]

What is bad about doing this though?

Or what's better about the service manager?

[broken elbow]

I didn't say the other way is bad but ServiceManager is nice because it lets you split the api from the rest of the plugin

[dense galleon]

Fair enough

[icy shadow]

it’s bad but it’s also unlikely to cause any real problems

But yeah like blitz said, for internal use you should really use DI and for external use the services manager

[eager hinge]

anyone know how to fix 84 out of bounds for length 5

[icy shadow]

lmao what

[proud pebble]

you dont try to get the object thats at index 84 while the array or list or whatever has only 5 objects inside of it

[eager hinge]

what do u mean object

[proud pebble]

well id assume its either an array or list

[hoary scarab]

Full error + code

[eager hinge]

thers no errors in console

it usually only happens when there are 1+ members in the server

[hoary scarab]

screen shot

[proud pebble]

then where did you pull the error from?

[eager hinge]

by joining

well trying to join

[spiral prairie]

I have a few questions regarding this. Why is your class name in brackets, why do you create a new one in the enable and why do you do static abuse

[proud pebble]

then open your client logs and post the error from there

[eager hinge]

i sent it to u in dms

[proud pebble]

just post the error to mclo.gs and the code to paste.helpch.at

[hoary scarab]

Brackets because I didn't name it.
And its not static abuse.

[proud pebble]

you did write some code that your trying to diagnose right?

[spiral prairie]

Why can't you use this?

[proud pebble]

or any form of development

[hoary scarab]

Do what luna said. Go to your mc logs and send the full error

[eager hinge]

wdym

[eager hinge]

alr

[spiral prairie]

And what's the point of having 2 instances of your main class

[hoary scarab]

Thinking of something else sorry. Updated.

[spiral prairie]

I know what you were thinking of

[proud pebble]

by that response im going to redirect you to either #general-plugins if its a plugin error with a plugin you dont have control over or #minecraft if its anything else cus it seems you arent diagnosing anything you are developing

[spiral prairie]

And my question persists lol

[hoary scarab]

How is this dude working on "folia support" when the src code for folia isn't even available yet?

[spiral prairie]

Magic

[proud pebble]

your main class should be a singleton class, never being reinstanced ever

[spiral prairie]

Yup

And if you use this, it will change a static constant from a non static context which imo is static abuse

[proud pebble]

atleast the plugin errors every time you try to create a second instance of the main class

[spiral prairie]

Since static should be available at any time

[hoary scarab]

Maybe I worded it wrong. I variablize the instance, privatized it so it won't be altered (Shouldn't be aleast) and use a public getter.
It allows you to use <Main>.getInstance() when ever you need access to said instance.

[proud pebble]

the only static abusey thing that i do is main class get instance using the method that yappery changed it to, using a getter so you cant modify the variable

[hoary scarab]

I can understand if people have like a shit ton of methods/fields and they used static on all would be considered abuse but I generally limited my static usage to a few methods per class, sometimes none.

[proud pebble]

tbh im on the edge for main class instance getter being static abuse or not

the only methods i usually make static are ones that only depend on the content inside of them

such as util classes

or a bunch of the item nbt related classes i use to modify itemstacks

[hoary scarab]

same basically

[pulsar ferry]

The API is already testable

[hoary scarab]

Link?

[mental cypress]

Hmm?

Is "this dude" referring to me?

[broken elbow]

🤣 I was asking myself the same question

[pulsar ferry]

Not sure if it's publicly announced yet, but if you click the commit you can see it

[proud pebble]

[mental cypress]

Well yeah you can see the commit, but I didn't publish what you need to compile it 😛

[broken elbow]

Glare. Are you/we going to maintain a folia fork for PAPI?

[mental cypress]

I'm trying to make it so we don't need a fork at all.

[pulsar ferry]

You should in theory be able to maintain it without fork

Oh yeah that xD

[mental cypress]

I have expansion disk loading + downloading from eCloud working + parsing.

I had to disable calling the expansion register event for the time being.

[hoary scarab]

IDK I just saw the post in #papi-updates

[broken elbow]

I assume you're getting the api from Maven Local. I know you have relations at Paper

[mental cypress]

Correct

[dense drift]

Has anyone used HttpServer and HttpExchange before

[mental cypress]

We also have a problem with expansions that register their own tasks. Haven't figured out how we'll handle that yet.

[broken elbow]

No Gaby. No one has ever used those. Ever!

[mental cypress]

But we have progress.

[minor summit]

bytecode manipulation

[dense drift]

I want to get the query params and the moment I use exchange.getRequestURI().getRawQuery() and the request doesn't have any params it literally doesn't go past that method

[broken elbow]

emily. I do not recognise you. please bring back the eye

[mental cypress]

I mean a really easy solution is to make an interface and a bukkit / folia module for a couple of things and then we could add a new variable for expansions like "supportsFolia" true/false and register them in those ways.

But I'm trying to see if we can get around doing that for the time being.

[minor summit]

yeah but you can't really prevent all expansions from using this or that feature that won't work on folia

[mental cypress]

Well then they won't have their expansion working on Folia.

That's their problem 😛

[minor summit]

true

[hoary scarab]

I can't seem to find where the API is posted. I see dev.folia:folia-api:1.19.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT from your commit but can't find it on any of the repos listed.

[hoary scarab]

That would do it lol

[broken elbow]

.

of course emily is faster

[minor summit]

on glare's own computer

btw glare I'm paying a visit

[stuck hearth]

Luck also used folia api IIRC recently

[hoary scarab]

I was wondering cause I asked either today or yesterday in papers discord if it was opened or if it was just the server for testing and was told the server.

[broken elbow]

yeah. glare got connections. he's the cool kid

[dense galleon]

I'm trying to get my Bungeecord plugin and my Paper plugin to communicate.
My Bungeecord plugin succesfully gets data across to my paper plugin, however for some reason it struggles to retrieve data sent by my paper plugin.
I register the channel in the onEnable() of my Bungeecord plugin like such getProxy().registerChannel(KlyCommon.PLAYER_DATA_CHANNEL);
And wait for incoming messages like such:

    @EventHandler
    public void onPluginMessage(PluginMessageEvent event) {
        if (event.getTag().equals(KlyCommon.PLAYER_DATA_CHANNEL)) {
            String playerDataJson = new String(event.getData());
            System.out.println("Received player data from KlyNetCore: " + playerDataJson);
            Gson gson = new Gson();
            PlayerData playerData = gson.fromJson(playerDataJson, PlayerData.class);
            System.out.println(plugin.getDbManager().getPlayerManager().updateData(playerData));
        }
    }```
And lastly, this is how I send the data from my paper plugin to the bungeecord plugin:
```java
    public static void sendPlayerData(KlyNetCore plugin, Player player, PlayerData playerData) {
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskAsynchronously(plugin, () -> {
            Gson gson = new Gson();
            String playerDataJson = gson.toJson(playerData);
            System.out.println("Sending player data to KlyVault: " + playerDataJson);
            player.sendPluginMessage(plugin, KlyCommon.PLAYER_DATA_CHANNEL, playerDataJson.getBytes());
        });
    }```
In my paper plugin's `onEnable()`, i register both the incoming and outgoing channels:
`        getServer().getMessenger().registerOutgoingPluginChannel(this, KlyCommon.PLAYER_DATA_CHANNEL);`
`        getServer().getMessenger().registerIncomingPluginChannel(this, KlyCommon.PLAYER_DATA_CHANNEL, new KlyVaultBridger(this));`

For some reason though, my Bungeecord plugin doesn't receive the plugin messages sent by the Paper plugin.

[broken elbow]

have you tried printing something if the tag is not KlyCommon.PLAYER_DATA_CHANNEL

[hoary scarab]

Have you debugged it? Is the channel actually registered?

[feral raptor]

yeah, I know I can do this in the OOP paradigm. I just mean whats the purpose of storing the object at all if every event call should be using a new one

To my understanding, listeners receive the Event Object that you pass in while calling callEvent(Event object)

[dense galleon]

yeah i have

[dense galleon]

ill try rn

[feral raptor]

Although, bear in mind my understanding of cancelling events is near zero. I'm primarily just trying to understand the base architecture of Events rn

It's supposed to send the message when the player disconnects

I suppose that means the issue is with me sending the message to my bungee plugin?

[hoary scarab]

PluginMessaging requires a player so if you use it on PlayerQuitEvent or similar I don't think it will work.

[dense galleon]

Player isn't null though

[hoary scarab]

try debugging in another event

[dense galleon]

I'll try PlayerDropEvent

Alright now I am getting a strange error?

https://paste.helpch.at/oqohocirih.php

Though you are right, I can't use the PlayerQuitEvent

I need the data to be sent when the player quits the server though

[broken elbow]

I'm pretty sure the PlayerQuitEvent is called 1 tick after the player actually leaves but the Player object is still valid for that tick or something like that.

[dense galleon]

I suppose that I can't use the PlayerQuitEvent for this though since it's the only event that has issues with this

[broken elbow]

Do you need to send some data from spigot that needs saving or something? Or are you just triggering an event on bungeecord that doesn't require anything from spigot?

[dense galleon]

I am sending the player data from my paper plugin to the Bungee plugin, so that it can be saved to my database

Basically, my Bungeecord plugin holds player data and passes it around to all the other backend servers based on which server the player is connected to

[broken elbow]

yeah that makes sense. I assume you also send it on a timer?

[dense galleon]

And any time they change servers, the data is removed from the player's old server, moved to the bungee plugin, saved to the database, and then sent to the new server

[broken elbow]

oh nvm then. my idea won't work for this

[dense galleon]

I haven't implemented that yet, but yeah every 5 minutes it will do that

As an auto-save mechanism

I guess I need to find an alternative to saving the player's data when they quit the server?

[broken elbow]

I realised as you were typing the other message that you probably need the data on another spigot server if they change servers. I think the best you'll be able to do is maybe save and read directly in spigot

[dense galleon]

So pass the player data between different instances of my plugin..?

That doesn't sound right

[broken elbow]

you could also send message using sockets. that's another option. I can't tell you which one is best tho

[dense galleon]

No way this could be a bug with paper/spigot/bukkit right

[broken elbow]

don't think it is considered a bug

I believe messages are sent using the player connection and bcz the player has already disconected when PlayerQuitEvent is called, the connection is closed

[dense galleon]

Isn't there a way to send the message without a player connection

[broken elbow]

sockets

[dense galleon]

ugh this sucks

Hmm okay ill look into that tomorrow

[torpid raft]

sockets are based

you can also use a rest api

[river solstice]

Well it depends on your implementation and how you want it to work.
It's just the way the listener system works (to my understanding). You call the event when X happens, and other listeners can modify the outcome of it and then the object is discarded.

If im not mistaken, you can keep the object and keep the way it was modified as long as you keep a reference to it, ex. as a field in your plugin class? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[dense drift]

So I need to host a small web server, with a GET endpoint and return some html (ideally using a template engine or smth, because I need to change a line of text). I've tried com.sun HttpServer but I don't like it very much 😬

[river solstice]

With java?

Why not just node express or smt

[dense drift]

Because it is for a plugin

[river solstice]

Ah I c

For REST I used spark

But not sure abt html and templating

[dense drift]

Yeah I know about spark but I need to return some html code 😬

Thinking about it, I just need to return the html code, I can use a placeholder at text and replace it before sending

[stuck hearth]

I agree

[river solstice]

Undertow maybe

public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Undertow server = Undertow.builder()
                // Set up the listener - you can change the port/host here
                // 0.0.0.0 means "listen on ALL available addresses"
                .addHttpListener(8080, "0.0.0.0")

                .setHandler(exchange -> {
                    // Sets the return Content-Type to text/html
                    exchange.getResponseHeaders()
                            .put(Headers.CONTENT_TYPE, "text/html");

                    // Returns a hard-coded HTML document
                    exchange.getResponseSender()
                            .send("<html>" +
                                    "<body>" +
                                    "<h1>Hello, world!</h1>" +
                                    "</body>" +
                                    "</html>");
                }).build();

        // Boot the web server
        server.start();
    }
} ```

Seems to be pretty simple to use and probably would be enough for what you need

[dense drift]

Yeah so is spark

[river solstice]

Didn't even know spark can send html file as a response lol

I just use it for json data

[dense drift]

On google it says you can do that xd lets see

[feral raptor]

when running a BukkitRunnable, what is the Plugin instance I should be passing

Should I just be making a new instance of my plugins main class (extending JavaPlugin)?

[dusty frost]

No

you should be passing the one (1) instance of your main class extending JavaPlugin

[feral raptor]

Yeah, I figured this eventually. I had it fixed to do that, thanks

any reason why this is considered dead code?

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {

        BukkitTask task = null;

        if (args.length == 2) {

            long initialDelay = Long.parseLong(args[0]);
            long spawnDelay = Long.parseLong(args[1]);

            task = new WitherSpawnTimed(this.plugin).runTaskTimer(this.plugin, initialDelay, spawnDelay);

            return true;
        } 

        // begin dead code
        if (args.length == 1 && args[0].equals("stop") && task != null) {
            task.cancel();
            return true;
        }
        // end
        
        return false;

    }

I nested the second conditional block into the first one and that fixed it.. starting to suspect the reason

[dusky harness]

The {} means that there is a new scope
this means that variables inside of {} can only be accessed inside of those {}
This also means that every time the } is reached, all variables in the {} are reset (since they can no longer be accessed)

So, your task is being reset every time the command is being ran, and so it'd always be null, so the check task != null always fails

for example, you can't access spawnDelay outside of the if statement

[feral raptor]

Wait really? So even though BukkitTask task exists outside the scope of the conditional block, its re-assigned value gets reset once the scope in which the re-assignment took place is left?

[dusky harness]

yes; for example: ```java
@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
int amount = 0;
System.out.println("Amount: " + amount);
amount++;
}

it's the same scope, but once onCommand is finished running, all the data inside of the scope resets

[feral raptor]

I suppose my problem is the unguaranteed flow of execution then, where since it isn't guaranteed that the first if block will ever have its conditions passed

the second block could actually be rendered dead code

[dusky harness]

well no matter what, task.cancel() will never be called

and you shouldn't be returning false (?)

as it uses some bukkit error command thing

prob better to just make your own error handling

at least that's just what i heard

[feral raptor]

Oh wait its because of the return statement.. now I see what you're saying

if the first block is met, the method is being returned thus it really is dead code

[feral raptor]

alr noted, thanks ^

[dusty frost]

task never gets assigned to not null

since the only time when you assign it, you return true

i might've been a little late lol

[feral raptor]

I guess it still is dead code in hindsight because every command execution is a new method call regardless

what would you recommend be the best way to create a command to cancel task?

Guess I could just make a nested class implementing CommandExecutor for it..

though that still entails an entirely new Command, not an arg of the existing one

[sterile hinge]

Well you just need to store or the task outside of the method somewhere

[river solstice]

wait till you find out about fields

[stuck hearth]

I'm an American, I know all about fields

[agile tangle]

does anyone knows how i can create a placeholder like this example_one_<player> (example_one_creperozelot) <- and get the player (creperozelot)

[dense galleon]

Do sockets kinda work as a replacement to plugin messaging channels?

[icy shadow]

potentially

The downside is that they need a separate port

[dense galleon]

Yeah honestly the issue is that I am really struggling to understand how to even set sockets up

I need multiple instances of this plugin of mine to communicate with this one Bungeecord plugin

Which makes me think that each instance needs its own port?

I might honestly just find another way to save player data when they change servers instead of trying to figure sockets out

Will I need a different port for each instance of my plugin?

[icy shadow]

Yes

Well

[dense galleon]

Yeaahh nah

I'll just find another way of using Plugin messaging

[icy shadow]

1 port per connection, really

whether that’s a server or a plugin

[dense galleon]

There must be a way to send player data through plugin messaging once the player quits

[icy shadow]

You might consider something like Redis or RabbitMQ, share a Single instance between all the servers = 1 port

[dense galleon]

Huh

A single instance of what

[icy shadow]

Redis or RabbitMQ

Lol

[dense galleon]

I am already biting off more than I can chew with this project i've been working on, if I add another layer of complication I will get burnt out

[icy shadow]

it’s that or plugin messages really ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dense galleon]

Yeah

[icy shadow]

but it is quite literally impossible to use PMs if there aren’t any players connected

[dense drift]

So, I'm trying to replicate this header with the blurry background and the logo in middle but I can't figure out how to stack the elements properly 😭 https://imgur.com/a/Zfe12Ws

    <header class="header">
        <div class="headerBackground"></div>
        <img src="https://dunb17ur4ymx4.cloudfront.net/webstore/logos/69fe5d557019d0760290f117521adc73dae0ec0e.png" width="225rem" height="225rem" alt="aaa"/>
    </header>```
```css
* {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}

.header {
    overflow: hidden;
    height: 16.5rem;
    border: 3px dotted red;
}

.headerBackground {
    background: url("https://i.ibb.co/YhkDvG5/2023-01-29-18-38-13.png") center;
}```

[dense galleon]

So no matter the workaround, the last player connected to the server would never have their data saved to my database

Ffs

[hoary scarab]

Could always make your own bungee fork and remove the need of the player 🤷 lol

[icy shadow]

that’s… not how it works lmao

It’s not like they added the requirement for fun

[dense drift]

yeah lol

[icy shadow]

Plugin messages inherently rely on using the player’s connection

No players = no connection

[dense drift]

Redis is very nice and easy to use

[dense galleon]

Jesus it actually looks like the most realistic way of doing this is using sockets

[icy shadow]

If it’s a database why not just connect to it directly? Why the extra layer of indirection?

[dense galleon]

I have all my paper servers send data to my Bungeecord plugin, which then stores it to the database

[icy shadow]

that doesn’t actually answer my question

[dense galleon]

What indirection then

[icy shadow]

why not just communicate with the database directly

what benefit does the bungee plugin bring

[dense galleon]

I need the player data to be synced between paper servers, so the bungee plugin works as some form of bridge to pass the player data between the paper servers

[icy shadow]

uhh

[pulsar ferry]

Time to mention Kafka

[icy shadow]

how quickly does the data need to update?

synchronise, I mean

[river solstice]

.center {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);        
}
```?

or use flex and justify-content

[dense galleon]

1. Player connects to the network
2. Bungee plugin retrieves their data from the DB
3. Bungee plugin sends the data to a Paper plugin found in the server the player is connected to

then

1. Player changes servers
2. Player data is sent over to the bungeecord plugin, and removed from the paper plugin
3. Bungee plugin sends the data to that same plugin found in the new server the player is connected to

[dense galleon]

That's kinda what I got^

[icy shadow]

Because I can see a few flaws in this approach:

1. having every individual server/plugin communicate with the db directly should probably be fine, just keep the cache on a short expiry time. You could always automatically purge the cache in some cases like when a player joins / leaves
2. sure you need the data synced, but if there are no players online, who’s gonna notice if it’s not immediately updated?

[pulsar ferry]

Just rent a pc to have an alt connected 24/7 ez

[dense drift]

centering the image is the last problem, the background is not showing at all

[icy shadow]

Yeah I don’t really like that, just have each plugin query the database directly

[dense galleon]

Yeah I know I could connect to the DB with each plugin, but I wanted to keep all the DB stuff to just the Bungeecord plugin as it's quite neat

[dense drift]

you would need 1 for each server xD

[dense galleon]

It technically is more efficient

[icy shadow]

I also don’t think that’s gonna scale well, you’re passing potentially a lot of database traffic through the proxy

[pulsar ferry]

Hell yeah!

[icy shadow]

I’m not sure it is

[river solstice]

are you sure those two elements are separate?

[dense galleon]

I mean I am only accessing the DB when a player disconnects/connects

[icy shadow]

databases are designed for high throughput and lots of queries, bungeecord is not

[dense galleon]

And every 5 minutes

[dense drift]

on the first image? Yeah, they are

[icy shadow]

you could make thousands of queries / minute to a SQL database and it wouldn’t break a sweat

[dense galleon]

You think Bungeecord wouldn't be able to handle multiple plugins sending back and forth serialized PlayerData objects on the long run?

[dense galleon]

The server would struggle though won't it?

[dense drift]

Just use Redis if you don't want to query the db directly

[icy shadow]

I wouldn’t like to say anything concrete but it seems like unnecessary stress, is all

[dense galleon]

Not sure how magical doing the queries async is

[dense drift]

it is the "same" (pub-sub) as using PMs but 10 times better and you don't need to send the message to bungee and then to the other servers

[icy shadow]

Not at all? Plugin messages take a non-negligible amount of time too, If you’re doing the queries async there’s no difference

[wheat carbon]

@dense drift you need to have the background on the header element

that div headerBackground does absolutely nothing

[dense drift]

😭

[icy shadow]

Plus you can keep caches individually on each server to reduce the amount of queries

[dense galleon]

Idk I just liked the idea of having the database management be on the bungeecord side of things, while the temporary data stored within the backend servers

[dense galleon]

So not removing the player data upon one quitting?

[dense drift]

yeah well @wheat carbon the problem is, the logo will be blurry if I make the background blurry

[wheat carbon]

er

shouldn't

give me a few secs

[icy shadow]

that would be a good idea if it wasn’t bungeecord, you could always make a separate app to encapsulate all the database calls but as you’re seeing, bungee is quite limited for stuff like this

[tight junco]

web dev continues to be the worst things conceived

i will take every opportunity to shit on web dev

[dense galleon]

Sad

[icy shadow]

You probably would purge the cache when a player leaves, so then when they rejoin it updates with the possibly changed data

[dense galleon]

Yeahh

So any time a player changes the server, store the data to the database and then have the other server retrieves it?

[icy shadow]

Sure, or just whenever the data changes in general

[dense drift]

I hate anything related to UIs but I can't ignore them any longer 😭 a website is needed 100% of times if you want to make any type of 'business' for example

[icy shadow]

You don’t really need to be stingy about it

Like I said, databases are designed for lots of queries

They can handle it

[wheat carbon]

@dense drift ok so you have your header element with the background

[tight junco]

fully convinced creating a website on word and pasting a photo of it onto a website is more enjoyable

[dense galleon]

I remember being taught that I should limit how many times I access the DB to avoid slowdowns

[wheat carbon]

then you have another div that contains all the content (the image), which also takes up 100% of the header space

on that second div, use backdrop-filter: blur(whatever)

[dense drift]

mhm

[dense galleon]

having said that, i'm surprised Waterfall doesn't have some built-in system to make Paper backend servers and Bungeecord communicate through sockets

[wheat carbon]

div<header> <!--background here-->
    div<headercontent> <!--backdrop filter here-->
        image
    /div
/div```

like that

[dense drift]

ahhh so obvious

[icy shadow]

It’s true that the queries will actually take a non-negligible amount of time, but most of that is networking overhead. The actual database part will take a couple milliseconds at most usually. The limiting / caching is more for the client’s benefit than anything else

[icy shadow]

Could be cool but sockets are kinda the worst way of doing it because of the O(n) ports problem

[river solstice]

Haven't tested but something like this could? work?

<head>
    <style>
    .my-header {
      position: relative;
      background-image: url("your-bg-img.jpg");
      background-size: cover;
      background-position: center;
    }

    .my-header img {
      position: absolute;
      top: 50%;
      left: 50%;
      transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    }
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <header class="my-header">
        <img width="50px" height="50px" src="your-img.jpg" alt="Site Logo"/>
    </header>
</body>

[wheat carbon]

@tight junco i kinda like web dev in a sadistic way tho

[dense drift]

looking good :3

[wheat carbon]

that with backdrop or m0dii's?

[dense drift]

backdrop

[tight junco]

that is actually the most masochistic thing i've read all day

[dense drift]

I just need to center the image on both axes now

[tight junco]

but to be fair if you actually know how to do it and can do it well it probably isnt that bad

but i physically do not have the mental stamina and will power to put effort into learning it

[dense drift]

.header {
    overflow: hidden;
    height: 16.5rem;
    background: url("https://i.ibb.co/YhkDvG5/2023-01-29-18-38-13.png") center;
}

.logo {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;

    backdrop-filter: blur(5px);
    height: inherit;
}```

[wheat carbon]

i can usually make anything with html and css

[dense galleon]

Not sure what you mean with network overhead tbh, but now i'm wondering:
if I have my servers auto-save every 5 minutes, and there is say (won't ever happen, just out of curiosity) 200 people, won't the server suffer a major slowdown when 200 queries saving the data of each player is sent to the DB?

[wheat carbon]

it's not always pretty on the back end

but i can usually make anything so that's nice

honestly web dev for pc is fine, not really mentally straining, making things responsive is where the issues in web dev come in

[river solstice]

I always view the page in full width/height and I love when I use absolute positioning and resize the window and everything crumbles like a word document

[icy shadow]

Probably something like 80-90% of the time it takes to query a database and get a response is the IO and internet communication, once the database actually gets the query it’s pretty fast

If you’re doing it asynchronously I doubt it will ever make a noticeable difference, plus you can update all the data in a single query

[dense galleon]

Just by repeating the query separated by a ; 200 times?

[tight junco]

the problem comes in when you open multiple database connections every few seconds until you literally reach the max

ive done that before

[dense galleon]

And then sending the query?

[dense galleon]

Ah shit

That doesn't sound good

[wheat carbon]

i think the default is kinda low

[river solstice]

connections 💀
this is quite a popular topic at my job
JOOQ is weird

[tight junco]

hold please let me find what i did

[wheat carbon]

isnt' the default only like 10

[tight junco]

nonono

[icy shadow]

No I mean literally a single query, you can do batch updates/inserts

[wheat carbon]

wait no I'm mixing up the timeout defaults

[tight junco]

i mean i opened several thousands

[wheat carbon]

the timeout defaults were always too low for me

[icy shadow]

Connection pools fix that

[tight junco]

nope

even pass that

[dense galleon]

Okay jesus chrsit lol

[tight junco]

it was deranged

[dense galleon]

I doubt i'll even have more than 5

I think I'll be fine

[icy shadow]

What are you ever doing to need that many concurrent connections

[tight junco]

Yeah i was opening connections at a rate of 3600/hour

[dense galleon]

Rip this sucks, I spent the past few days making this whole Bungeecord<-->Paper system to avoid having any DB stuff in my paper plugins

[wheat carbon]

logging database actions to the database

[icy shadow]

And never closing them??

[icy shadow]

yeah sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that was probably a waste of time lol

[tight junco]

well you see i wanted to obtain the amount of money someone had from sql

[dense galleon]

At least it was supposedly a good idea if Bungeecord was designed for that

[icy shadow]

In theory

[tight junco]

so the error that crashed the server every day was HikariPool-1 - Connection is not available, request timed out after 30001ms. which is great

but for every person on the server, which at the time was about 60 i would basically just do

try (Connection connection HikariDataSource#getConnection()) {
  select user and check for a bank interest rate
}

and that ran every 3 minutes, ontop of scoreboard updates, actual bank balance checking etc

like none of it was cached just pure sql statements

[icy shadow]

that seems like a you problem

not a sql problem

[tight junco]

it was 2 years ago, i have grown and changed as a person

so yes at least 3600 connections that never closed, opened every hour

hire me

[wheat carbon]

what would you do now

instead of that

[tight junco]

not that

my initial thought is to just cache stuff in a map

only run queries when anything actually needs updating

[wheat carbon]

pretty much

only time you really need to get data from the database is on server start, or depending on the amount of data, perhaps when a player joins

[tight junco]

the problem was I took a job at a server where I was completely out of my depth on

like had only just started learning how to use MySQL like maybe a month or two prior

[wheat carbon]

that's ok

they hired an unqualified dev

seems like a them problem if ur code aint up to scratch

[tight junco]

to be honest if i didnt do that job for as long as i did, i would probably suck a lot more at my current stage

[dense drift]

is there any reason why display: flex; justify-content: center; centers the content of the white rectangle, and not itself? (the options are current commented out) https://paste.helpch.at/apemuvutas.xml

[river solstice]

yes, you have to justify content of the parent iirc

[dense drift]

ffs, justify-content

[river solstice]

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/utilities/flex/

[dense drift]

thanks for pointing out the obvious, M0dii

[river solstice]

the positioning, widths, heights of html/css is very weird

[dense drift]

I hate it because it was so obvious

[river solstice]

you'd think i'd take up the entire page

[wheat carbon]

what editor is that

[river solstice]

notepad++

[wheat carbon]

damn

showing its age

[river solstice]

h0h

[wheat carbon]

the tab at the top

index.html

[river solstice]

true

still kinda like it

[dense drift]

100% of itself ??

percentages are really weird

[river solstice]

well since the parent of the .mydiv is body

by default body takes up the height of the child elements

[dense drift]

https://tenor.com/view/himym-barney-headshot-gif-3629561

[river solstice]

and .mydiv 100% means to take up 100% of the height of the body

hence you should use 100dvh or 100vh

[dense drift]

ah yeah, I forgot about the body part

[river solstice]

I learnt this the hard way

debugging for hours lol

and then boom

bootstrap

fuck styling on my own

[wheat carbon]

you don't need to use vh for this

html is also a tag, you just need to set html height to 100%

html, body {
    height: 100%
}```

[river solstice]

I guess that's true indeed

[little fulcrum]

Hey

[river solstice]

but you should'nt really apply styling to your html tag

[little fulcrum]

One question, does anyone know how to delete the stats from the statistics extension?

[wheat carbon]

why?

it's pretty standard practice for this

nearly any website you go to will have a variation of height styling on the html tag

[river solstice]

Well this way the browser forces the body to be the height of the window, not the height of the content.

Body should be min-height: 100vh

Tldr it fuckswith responsive designs

[dense drift]

[dense galleon]

Ahh yeah my bad

[dense galleon]

I'm trying to give my Item entity a custom name, by appending differently colored digits.
Each digit is a separate color, based on the array written at the start of the method: https://paste.helpch.at/awisidogas.csharp

For some reason though, when printing the item.customName()'s contents It just shows -[ and nothing else

However, when printing the object itself, it shows that the right data is present:

[23:18:01 INFO]: [Klynes] [STDOUT] FINAL NAME: TextComponentImpl{content="-[", style=StyleImpl{obfuscated=not_set, bold=not_set, strikethrough=not_set, underlined=not_set, italic=not_set, color=null, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null, insertion=null, font=null}, children=[TextComponentImpl{content="8", style=StyleImpl{obfuscated=not_set, bold=not_set, strikethrough=not_set, underlined=not_set, italic=not_set, color=TextColorImpl{value="#ffccf3"}, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null, insertion=null, font=null}, children=[]}, TextComponentImpl{content="5", style=StyleImpl{obfuscated=not_set, bold=not_set, strikethrough=not_set, underlined=not_set, italic=not_set, color=TextColorImpl{value="#f1a1ff"}, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null, insertion=null, font=null}, children=[]}, TextComponentImpl{content="3", style=StyleImpl{obfuscated=not_set, bold=not_set, strikethrough=not_set, underlined=not_set, italic=not_set, color=TextColorImpl{value="#d07fff"}, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null, insertion=null, font=null}, children=[]}, TextComponentImpl{content="4", style=StyleImpl{obfuscated=not_set, bold=not_set, strikethrough=not_set, underlined=not_set, italic=not_set, color=TextColorImpl{value="#bd5cff"}, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null, insertion=null, font=null}, children=[]}, TextComponentImpl{content="]-", style=StyleImpl{obfuscated=not_set, bold=not_set, strikethrough=not_set, underlined=not_set, italic=not_set, color=null, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null, insertion=null, font=null}, children=[]}]}```

[proud pebble]

everything after -[ is a child of the component

[dense galleon]

Right

How do I get the text then?

Like

[dense drift]

You might need to join the components

JoinConfiguration#separator(Component#empty))

[dense galleon]

        TextComponent name = (TextComponent) item.customName();
        TextComponent completeName = name;
        for (Component component : name.children()) {
            completeName = completeName.append(component);
        }``` I did this instead ops

[river solstice]

Use plain text serializer or smt like that

[dense galleon]

How do I use that though

[dense drift]

Component#join accepts a JoinConfiguration and an Iterable<Component>

so you add the components in a list, and then use Component#join

that's just an idea, idk if it is the proper way of achieving what you want

[dense galleon]

TextComponent completeName = (TextComponent) Component.join(JoinConfiguration.separator(Component.empty()), name); like that?

[dense drift]

no

https://javadoc.io/doc/net.kyori/adventure-api/latest/net/kyori/adventure/text/JoinConfiguration.Builder.html you can actually use this class and give it the -[ prefix and ]- suffix.
After that, turn each character into a component and add them to a list, then join all components

[dense galleon]

I am so confused

Why is it so inconvenient to create a text component one character at a time

[dense drift]

        for (char c : klynesString.toCharArray()) {
            TextComponent charComponent = Component.text(String.valueOf(c));
            charComponent = charComponent.color(colors[colorIndex % colors.length]);
            System.out.println("Current char: " + charComponent);
            name = name.append(charComponent);
            System.out.println("Current name: " + name.content());
            colorIndex++;
        }```
Here, instead of using name.append(), you add the `charComponent` into a list
and btw, you can do `text("text", color)` or `text().color()`

[proud pebble]

actually why is it 1 component and a list of children components and not just a list of components?

[dense galleon]

And then append the list..?

[dense drift]

and then join all components in that list with Component.join(configuration, list)

[dense galleon]

And that will do so that .content() prints the whole thing instead..?

That's really weird

[dense drift]

I don't remember having issues like this tbh

[proud pebble]

why
"-[" {
"8","5","3","4","]-"
}
and not
{ "-{","8","5","3","4","]-" }
thats what i want to know

[dense drift]

but it might be something to do with how names are rendered

[dense galleon]

honestly this is so weird I'll just do what I wanted to do differently 🫠

[mental anchor]

Heloooooo

[stuck hearth]

hi

[dense galleon]

Hmm I noticed something weird in my Bungeecord backend servers

For some reason, when a player quits the server, at times it takes several seconds for them to actually disconnect from it even though they actually aren't online

[dense galleon]

What is this error even
[01:51:19 ERROR]: [KlyNetCore] An error occurred while updating player data/settings: Data truncation: Incorrect datetime value: '2023-03-26 01:51:19' for column 'last_seen' at row 1

Timestamp currentTime = DBUtils.getCurrentTimestampWithoutMilliseconds();

    public static Timestamp getCurrentTimestampWithoutMilliseconds() {
        long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
        long timeWithoutMillis = (time / 1000) * 1000;
        return new Timestamp(timeWithoutMillis);
    }```

Why doesn't my database like the datetime values i give it all of a sudden

I never had issues with it until now?

No way daylight savings could have an impact right?

[tight junco]

It probably does

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20088808/data-truncation-incorrect-datetime-value

[dense galleon]

For real?

[tight junco]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71648160/mysql-datetime-problem-incorrect-datetime-value-and-daylight-savings

yes

[dense galleon]

Sheesh

[tight junco]

fucked by the farmers all over again

[dense galleon]

So most databases have issues with daylight savings?

[tight junco]

mayhaps

[dense galleon]

That's crazy

[tight junco]

most people use Date for it

im about to have my A key on copy and paste or else ima go fucking feral

[dense galleon]

Yeah, I want to keep track of the time too though :x

Ahh shit

My database is in another country which is one hour ahead

So it's daylight savings already there while it isn't where I am

That's probably what's up

[proud pebble]

then save the time as a long

instead of as a date string

[dusty frost]

or as your database's native datetime type

[minor summit]

or as a blob

save everything as a blob

[dusty frost]

😔

[minor summit]

everything

[dense galleon]

So, you know how the issue with "physical" currencies is that they can be duplicated in Minecraft server

My currency is supposed to be found physically but can then be right clicked to be "claimed"
In order to prevent any possible duplication glitches though, I was thinking of having each instance of this custom item have a UUID metadata

And when the player uses said item, the UUID of that item gets saved on a database

That way, even if they manage to duplicate it they won't be able to use the item

Could it become problematic when there is maybe 1000 UUIDs on the database?

[dusty frost]

nah, as long as you have an index on the UUID column

could even have a cache that keeps the UUIDs as a set, O(1) lookup easy

and you obviously won't run out of UUIDs lol

[dense galleon]

There is an absurdly small chance of a duplicate being a thing

But the consequences would be minor + it's pretty much impossible

[feral raptor]

https://gist.github.com/BitCashMC/814b3cede7fa99ba7852f4e5339cf00f

So this command effectively executes a BukkitRunnable (WitherSpawnTimed) and has the option for accepting extended arguments specifying the specific coords of where the mobs should spawn, however its not working, instead it spawns at w.getSpawnLocation() regardless of args. If anyone has the chance to browse through the code and potentially see whats causing it not to work that'd be great and would be appreciated.

[dusky harness]

Does ```
[BitCore] Activated the witherus siberius in xms at an interval of xms
[!] Spawning at location: x, x, x.

[feral raptor]

Yeah it does send

[dusky harness]

and then if you run the command again

does it still not work?

[feral raptor]

Let me try that real quick

yep

[dense galleon]

???

@Command(value = "artifacts", alias = "art")
public class ArtifactCommands extends BaseCommand {```

What even

I've made commands like this for 4 other plugins in the past week, why is this one just randomly not working

public abstract void registerCommand(@NotNull BaseCommand var1); this is literally what the method takes

And that is what I am giving it

[feral raptor]

Ah nvm, I found the issue. was just careless error, had the expressions reversed

if providesLocation was true then it *wouldn't * use the provided coords lol

[dusky harness]

🥲

[dusky harness]

btw didn't want to mention before since it wasn't the issue directly but this has some other issues too - no permission (allows for unlimited spawning of withers that cannot be stopped), providesLocation will never become false again after becoming true, if the user doesn't input valid argument amount then the code will still try to run (no return), if the user inputs invalid arguments then the command will throw an error or do completely nothing, and why isn't providesLocation and coords parameters in the WitherSpawnedTimed constructor?

I assume you'll fix some/most/all of these in the future but just wanted to point them out

[feral raptor]

Ah yeah those are all good points Ill keep noted to fix

thanks ^

why isnt providesLocation and coords parameters in the WitherSpawnedTimed constructor?

What would be the reason to do this? Or do you mean making those variables themselves fields of WitherSpawnTimed instead of being static fields belonging to the Command class

[junior zenith]

my onRequest method is not working

[broken elbow]

@junior zenith as a continuation from #general-plugins, set the identifier to lowercase.

[feral raptor]

This Listener is supposed to get the player's location's block and replace it with a Sign that says "hello, 123", but it doesn't work. Unsure why..

    @EventHandler
    public void onBlockPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event) {
        org.bukkit.block.Sign c = (Sign) event.getPlayer().getLocation().getBlock().getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN).getState();
        c.setType(Material.OAK_SIGN);
        
        c.setLine(0,"Hello, 123!");
        c.update(true);
    }

[junior zenith]

It did not help

[tight junco]

Is the relative block actually a sign

cause you're getting the block right below the players feet

[dense galleon]

is the wiki right about the pack format being 12 for 1.19.4?

It gives me a warning in-game if I have it at 12 instead of 13

[tight junco]

it may not be

[dense galleon]

Btw do durability textures still exist

[tight junco]

[dense galleon]

Hmm okay cause I can't get them to work

[dense galleon]

[somber gale]

Does someone know an alternative to this solution here that works with decimal points?
https://paste.helpch.at/ohaqafufov.java

Like I want to shorten numbers (i.e. 10,000 to 10k) but this code only uses longs, so no decimal points allowed...

Would a BigDecimal work here?

Or is a simple replacement of long to float enough here?

[somber gale]

Replaced with double and seems to work. Tho, now I need to find a way to get rid of the decimals, or at least reduce them...

[signal grove]

The block you get is still air, because the sign hasn’t been placed yet. Cancel the event and it might work

And don’t cast it to a sign

You’ll have to set the block as a sign yourself

Also - you don’t check if the block placed is a sign… so all blocks being placed will turn into a sign

[minor summit]

(also you're getting the block below the player, not the block at the player's location)

[dense galleon]

Uh

There is this sound in Minecraft

minecraft:block.amethyst_block.resonate

For some reason it is not present in the PaperAPI?

I tried playing every single amethyst sound there is and none of them sound like resonate

> Bard isn’t currently supported in your country. Stay tuned!
Sigh. Google never learns.

By the time they add support for using this in my country, there's no reason for me to use it anymore as competitors have already swept in.

It's the same playbook with every US-only launch:

1. get everybody hyped up

2. make it accessible to only a minor subset of people but advertise it as a "launch" or "open beta" or whatever

3. tell the rest of the world that "lol, by "available" we mean US-only" or "Open means "open for people with US IP addresses only" etc.

4. Wait till competitors have launched global-from-the-start alternatives

5. Open up the service globally

6. ...

7. Shut down the service because there's no uptake (surprised_pikachu.jpg)

Rinse and repeat.

same port no, though that should be obvious, since minecraft usually runs on 25565 and webservers on 80

[jade wave]

Actually it's a little harder than that- @river solstice

You cannot have an mc server linked with just an A record and also have a webserver, although, if you only plan on using java, you can use a TCP record to bypass that.

If you want bedrock support, with just your link (example: www.example.com) and a webserver that isn't possible unless your mc server and webserver run on the same server

[river solstice]

just use a subdomain

mc.mydomain.com - minecraft server
mydomain.com - webserver

currently attempting to use https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/how-to-set-blocks-incredibly-fast.476097/
with some small modifications to update it to 1.19.2 from 1.14.x. it does say it would update lighting but it doesnt seem to actually update the lighting and this packet shit is completely out of my depth, so im wondering whats the best places to look to try and get some answers on how to fix this,
my current idea is to get the ClientboundLightUpdatePacketData's List<byte[]> and manually modify them so that they are all 255, basically making every block have a sky light level of 15, but i dont think thats the best option

i know its definitly an issue with the packets im sending cause on relog lighting does fix itself

https://paste.helpch.at/bonapewujo.java

current code

when i say fixed, i mean the light levels being shown properly to the client

this wasnt an issue when resetting mines, just became an issue when using the same method for breaking blocks

[proud pebble]

perhaps lighting never actually gets updated

just feels like it does cus the chunks are reloaded due to me relogging

[proud pebble]

right, ive been trying to figure out why the index into the NibbleArray/DataLayer has been giving me out of bounds errors, turns out i was giving the SectionPos instead of the Section Coordinate relative to the block position

Anyone knows how to link website to purchase items and automatically process it inside the server?

[lyric gyro]

youre talking about buycraft?

[dusk crypt]

Buycraft has its own site which is tebex right ? But is there a way to use a custom website to use the features ?

[lyric gyro]

you can buy the tebex premium subscription

it allows you to use your own template and subdomain

other alternative is craftingstore

[lyric gyro]

this one allows you to have your own subdomain for free but without https

[forest jay]

You can code your own website that functions like Tebex or Buycraft. You just have a plugin that listens for a signal from the store. Also make sure to use some sort of auth as well so people can't glitch ranks and stuff.

Oh wait, are you saying custom website, that interacts with Tebex/Buycraft?

What's a good way to save data about players?
Basically, someone runs a command, it needs to log their current location and a way to identify whose location it is (Probably by using their UUID)

I've tried looking into stuff like hashmaps or .yml files but I can't seem to find something that'd work, and there doesn't seem to be many resources on this specific topic either

[stuck hearth]

Well it depends on what you'd be using that data for and exactly what data you intend to save I guess.
It also matters how long you need that data saved. (Over restarts, or only during an active session?)
A Map would work if you don't need persistence in this scenario a simple UUID=Location would probably suffice, but if you do need persistence then storing it in a yml, json, etc... files would be fine, or you could look into sql solutions, but given the information above, that might be a bit much.

[torpid raft]

yeah like zod says the biggest factor in deciding which to use is what the lifetime for the data is going to be

do you care about the location even after the server restarts?

[hot rampart]

Saving it after server restarts would be preferable

but would .yml files work for multiple people?

[torpid raft]

why wouldn't they

data:
  uuid-1:
    location-x: 1
    location-y: 100
    location-z: 5.5
  uuid-2:
    location-x: 100
    location-y: 105
    location-z: -66
 ...

[hot rampart]

Well I don't know whose data needs to be saved until the run the command, so would doing it allow me to add new lines?

Or would there be a better way to go about it?

[stuck hearth]

I'd say this method is probably fine, if you're looking to store more than just that/more complex data types it might be worth considering other options

[torpid raft]

you can totally add new lines any time you want

so no worries there

[hot rampart]

Alright. Also how do people make a command toggleable? Would I be able to just add a boolean as well as the location data?

Thanks for the help btw (And I promise I've tried searching this up first)

[stuck hearth]

Toggleable in what way?
Like disable/enable the command, or just allowing a boolean argument?

[hot rampart]

enabling/disabling the command

[stuck hearth]

Like adding a permission check?

I think there might be a way to actually disable it from the server, someone might be able to speak better on that, if that's what you're going for

[hot rampart]

I mean like if you run it once, it does stuff, but if you run it again it does other stuff.
Here's an example: You run if the first time, it'll set you to creative. You run it the second time and you'll be set to survival instead. Rinse and repeat

[stuck hearth]

Oh, yeah you can deffo add a boolean for that.

[hot rampart]

Alright, thanks a bunch

Hello friends, I was recently watching a video on the MCC Island stuff, and I noticed the use of what I can only assume is boss bars. I was wondering if anybody had an idea on how this is done? I'm assuming it's just a textured boss bar with the percentage style and custom font for the icons, but I don't understand how they're adding distinct sections with their own backgrounds and aligning them in this way

Thought I could post a picture to show what I'm talking about, guess I can't 😅

[minor summit]

custom fonts, negative spaces, core shaders, lots of suffering

are those custom made plugins? they probably have equal names in their plugin.yml

[fiery pollen]

Yeah, so its the first time I tried creating a API for one of my plugins and used it in another of my plugins. Is it possible that the issue could be that I am just importing the whole jar from the BankBC plugin into my ShopBC plugin?

But the name in both of my plugin.yml are different

[lyric gyro]

you have 2 different jars at your plugins folder

with same plugin name

[fiery pollen]

They don't, I just checked.

[lyric gyro]

well they need to have

same name

otherwise it wouldnt say that

[fiery pollen]

But couldn't it be because of this?

[lyric gyro]

by importing you mean importing it to the ide or importing it and shading

[fiery pollen]

Well just importing, not shading. Should I also be shading?
implementation files('E:\\LocalCompileJars\\BankBC.jar')

[lyric gyro]

well if you arent shading it, it should work fine

cause if you would shade you would override the ShopBC plugin.yml

with BankBC plugin.yml

also spigot's classloader will load the classes automatically if you depend on the plugin in plugin.yml

so no need to shade

open your ShopBC .jar file and check if youre accidentally shading BankBC

[fiery pollen]

Alright I'll do that, one sec

Wait wth, it's using the plugin.yml from the BankBC jar that is imported.

[lyric gyro]

can you send your gradle file

youre probably shading the jar then

[fiery pollen]

[lyric gyro]

try adding exclude "plugin.yml" to the shadowJar category

[lyric gyro]

well do you see classes from BankBC

at your ShopBC jar

[fiery pollen]

Wait, could it be because I am building it wrong, because I am not seeing my actual code from my ShopBC plugin but I am seeing it from BankBC

[lyric gyro]

what do you mean by that

[fiery pollen]

None of these files include the code from the ShopBC plugin.

And that's ShopBC decompiled.

[lyric gyro]

huh

no clue then

try cleaning your build folder

and trying to build again

[fiery pollen]

Bruh I am stupid, I was compiling it wrong. I started using gradle a few weeks ago and forgot to compile it using shadowJar. It works now, thanks anyway for the help!

[lyric gyro]

oh

its alright lol

im not a gradle expert either

i mostly use maven

(i know gradle is better)

[fiery pollen]

Yeah, I started using it because people told it is much better and has much more features.

Tho, I'm running into a few issues now. Receiving this error:
java.lang.ClassCastException: class me.julespruvost.bank.Bank cannot be cast to class me.julespruvost.bank.Bank (me.julespruvost.bank.Bank is in unnamed module of loader 'BankBC.jar' @3a394b43; me.julespruvost.bank.Bank is in unnamed module of loader 'ShopBC-1.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar' @27b9b017)
So I understand the error, that I can cast my dependency Bank class to the actual plugin class. But that's the way of doing it no?

[pulsar ferry]

implementation is used for shading, if you don't want it to be then use compileOnly

[fiery pollen]

Oh okay, that was it, thanks Matt!

[fiery pollen]

Why does this ▌ show up as this in the image:

Looks like its something to do with encoding, adding -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to my run.bat file doesn't work.

[proud pebble]

the plugin hasnt been built to use utf-8

[fiery pollen]

Yeah that was it, thanks.

[dense galleon]

To increase the length of the day/night cycle, is the simplest solution disabling the day/night cycle through gamerules and having a runnable increasing the time of day by a custom amount each tick?

[stuck hearth]

I can only imagine that looking like it's skipping across the sky

[dense galleon]

I mean

I think that the way Minecraft does it is to set its position every tick, 24000 times a day

If I make the day last 72000 ticks, if anything it should look even smoother yknow? i think

[stuck hearth]

I dunno. Might have unintended consequences of time not passing correctly.

To that note, probably should just stay out of the discussion, if I don't know much. So good luck.

[ancient chasm]

Yeah, I actually figured it out shortly after posting that 🙂 ty friends

[ancient chasm]

as someone who also does not know much about this, I looked through the network code and the server only ever sends WorldTimeUpdateS2CPacket when changing dimensions or joining the server. so @stuck hearth is probably correct in that it'll be jumpy since the client does the lerping itself

regardless of the jumpiness though, it seems like it'll add a lot of packets if you do it that way

[ancient chasm]

Anyone here ever mess with Valence? https://github.com/valence-rs/valence

[vestal talon]

Someone here understands how to use ProtocolLib api?

I'm trying to make a armorstand packets but can't make them spawn, also I want to make sure new players joining the server could see the armorstand I sent before they joined the server

I would appreciate someone to help me figure it out (:

public static ProtocolManager manager = ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager();
    
    public static void despawnEntity(Entity entity) {
        PacketContainer packet = new PacketContainer(PacketType.Play.Server.ENTITY_DESTROY);
        packet.getIntegers().write(0, entity.getEntityId());
        try {
                  for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
                    ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().sendServerPacket(player, packet);
                  }
                } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
                  e.printStackTrace();
              }
    }
    
    public static void spawnEntity(Location location, Vector vector, Entity entity) {
        PacketContainer packet = manager.createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.SPAWN_ENTITY);

        packet.getEntityTypeModifier().write(0, EntityType.ARMOR_STAND);
        
        try {
            for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
                manager.sendServerPacket(player, packet);
            }
        } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

It's doesn't spawn the entity, also I would love to know if the player dies and respawn the packet still exists? (so I just need to handle players joining the server and send them the packets if needed?)

[dense drift]

https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Spawn_Entity I'm pretty sure you need at least the coordinates too for the packet

how else would the game know where the entity is?

and I think there's manager.broadcastPacket() or smth like this that sends the packet to all players

Would be possible to have fork a gitlab repo on github? I know there's this "mirror" system but idk how it works or if I could use it to fork the repo.

[pulsar ferry]

You can use the import system

For keeping up to date with upstream add both remotes and rebase your github remote onto the gitlab remote

[minor summit]

The "fork" thing on github is more artificial than anything else, it's no different than cloning the project locally and pushing to your own repo

[dense drift]

So the repo is on gitlab and I'm not gonna make an account on there just for one repo, and I want to keep everything on github

[dense drift]

yeah that's the main concern, if I could fetch the changes from gitlab

[pulsar ferry]

You can

[minor summit]

you can have both projects as remote yes

git clone blah.blah.gitlab
git remote rename origin upstream
git remote add origin blah.blah.github
git push origin

[dense drift]

ah is it that easy?

[pulsar ferry]

remote-lab/main
remote-hub/main

rebase remote-hub/main onto remote-lab/main to keep up to day

[dense drift]

I really need to learn more git smh

[minor summit]

you really do

it's very powerful

[dense drift]

Yeah 😭

[minor summit]

i was forced to learn how to github when i wanted to contribute to paper

erm, how to git

not gh

leave me alone it's 8 in the morning

[dense drift]

uh working on bigger projects is scary

thank you guys 😗

[minor summit]

it's fiiiiine

[dense drift]

yeah you can delete the branch and start over again

[pulsar ferry]

It's pretty scary tbh, specially when there are tons of branches going on at the same time and you have to rebase and fix conflicts and worry that you could be breaking other people's works and you wouldn't know how to fix

[dense drift]

exactly

I always fuck up when I want to edit a commit message because I somehow forget it will open a vim cli and I CAN NOT CLOSE IT

[minor summit]

and then you find out 95% of the branches are kept there for archiving purposes

[pulsar ferry]

Or were forgotten

[dense drift]

Like I use ctrl + : and q or whatever the syntax is but it types the q in the editor instead of exiting vim

[pulsar ferry]

When ever I need to edit things on terminal I just use nano, it's easier to use
But thankfully Gitkraken saves me a lot of trouble when it comes to conflicts

[dense drift]

I would use anything but vim

[dense galleon]

Bump

[dense drift]

yes probably something similar

[dense galleon]

Do you recon the day/night cycle will be choppy? I recon it might not even be noticeable

If it's 72000 steps a day

[minor summit]

it will be noticeable if people actually stop and stare at the sun/moon to look for it

[dense drift]

probably not, you can make it as smooth as you want

[minor summit]

but it's not something naturally disrupting

[dense galleon]

Yeah I mean if it were 1000 steps in a day it would be noticeable a lot

But with 72000 i think it will be so barely noticeable?

[dense drift]

wait to see how essential's ptime does, or some other command, the sun goes up and then back again

[dense galleon]

What is the point of doing that haha

To skip the day?

[dense drift]

I can't remember the command but it took me a while to figure out what is going on

[minor summit]

uh ptime doesn't affect the cycle's speed, it just changes the time point (for the player at least)

[dense drift]

yeah I can't remember if it was ptime, but it was smth to do with the time

[dense galleon]

Do you recon doing such a thing would be resource expensive for the server

[minor summit]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dense drift]

you can only test by trying ig, but there are probably heavier things that this already running on the server
