development

[sterile hinge]

which still means you should avoid them as they may break, so thanks for proving yourself wrong lmao

[lyric hound]

fat fingers XD

[lyric hound]

I don't think he's here anymore, but he definitely doesn't know that the only reason deprecated elements are left in is to prevent legacy projects from breaking.

[tired olive]

Or if youre spigot, to mark unstable apis

[worn jasper]

its tony being tony, ignore him

he's toxic with everyone

[proud pebble]

deprecated just means pending removal, doesnt mean you cant use it but you probably shouldnt

or means d9nt use this use this other one

like with paper and sendMessage deprecated if using string instead of component

[tired olive]

not always, sometimes it can mean just to not use the api

[proud pebble]

well atleast with the bukkit javadocs it says why its deprecated

[tired olive]

yeah but it doesnt have to be pending removal or be superseded

[minor summit]

deprecation ≠ for removal

[tired olive]

^

[minor summit]

it can

[tired olive]

@Deprecated(forRemoval = true) does tho

yeah, deprecation just means that you shouldnt use the api. sometimes that can be because its going to be removed

[sonic nebula]

there many things that are depsrated and had no altenative

for example in 1.8 to set item durability aka data

[balmy wagon]

Hello guys!

Could anyone tell me how to I can create a Placeholder in my Plugin, for example %job%. It should be a string i declared earlier.

[sonic nebula]

only desperate ways

[sonic nebula]

hook to PAPI

there a full guide on their GIT

really user friendly

u create extension and register

[balmy wagon]

I dont really understand it 😦

[sonic nebula]

and make sure ur plugin is softdepend

hmm what u did understand

what part

[balmy wagon]

i dont really understand how i can rename the placeholder and set the content

[sonic nebula]

its a string

or a value

it resets everytime upon the avable data in the plugin

u dont have to update it

like for example if its from hashmap

[balmy wagon]

so like that? PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(event.player, "placeholder val")

[proud pebble]

you dont use that to create your own placeholders

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/PlaceholderExpansion#with-a-plugin-internal-class

[balmy wagon]

and how i can create my own?

[proud pebble]

you use that

[proud pebble]

i sent a link to the github docs about it, click that link and follow everything it says

its telling you exactly what you need to know

[nimble vale]

can you use Thread.sleep() in a spigot plugin in onDisable method

its for waiting unfinished async processes on stop

[proud pebble]

no

force the tasks to run sync if yohr disabling

[hoary scarab]

You might run into scheduler issues cause your sleeping the thread it runs on.

[nimble vale]

yeah now it sounds bad

it would be nice to have a safe stop command actually

i can give a timeout like a minute and wait for tasks to end

[dusty frost]

i mean what kind of async tasks can you not cancel safely on shutdown lol

[nova minnow]

Hello,
I want to add a String into my List, but it always throws a NullPointerException.

    final String lower = "§7-------------------------------";
    final FileConfiguration cfg = Citizenship.getMain().getConfig();
    final String OWNER = "§bOwner: §f";
    final String MEMBER = "§bMember: §f";
    final String PREFIX = "§8[§bRegion§8] §f";
    public static List<String> regions;
    public static String chunk;
    final Plugin pl = Citizenship.getMain();


    final double costs = 250;
    final double sell = 200;

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
        Player p = (Player) sender;
        chunk = regionMethods.getChunkString(p);



         
        regions = (List<String>) cfg.getList(p.getUniqueId() + ".Regions"); <-- When I am trying to add something into this List, it won't recognize it

     regions.add(chunk);

     playerManager.getPlayerConfig().set(p.getUniqueId() + ".Regions", regions);
     playerManager.savePlayerConfig();

}

Here in context

[merry knoll]

im guessing that FileConfiguration.getList() returns null if key is not found

[minor summit]

the error being there suggests that cfg is null

[nova minnow]

Ahh yeah ofc, that makes sense. Thank you 🙂

[hoary scarab]

What is the alternative for ChatComponentText in 1.20?

[dense drift]

Component

[merry knoll]

they mention "do smt to this list" hence my comment

[hoary scarab]

Mojang or spigot mapped?

[dense drift]

net.kyori.adventure.text.Component

[hoary scarab]

Ugggg. Ok thx

[dense drift]

jk idk what that is, Ig smth from minecraft?

[dense drift]

fyi there's https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/configuration/ConfigurationSection.html#getStringList(java.lang.String)

If the List does not exist and no default value was specified, this will return an empty List.
Unlike getList
If the List does not exist and no default value was specified, this will return null.

[lyric gyro]

I need help, once in a while my placeholders stop working and i have to redownload them
any idea why?

[proud pebble]

#general-plugins or #placeholder-api

[lyric gyro]

done

[nova minnow]

I have used a StringList instead of a List and now it works. But thank you for the help 🙂 👍

[worn jasper]

how would I go about setting the inventory of a person to another inventory?

aka I have the player's inv object and I wanna set it to another inventory obj

[dense drift]

what are you trying to accomplish?

[merry knoll]

loop over the items and set it on the other one

[hoary scarab]

Don't think you can. I think you can only set contents

[merry knoll]

might wanna cache the original contents somewhere if you want to keep em

[hazy nimbus]

I don't think that would be the main issue. If the server was exited by SIGINT, Thread.sleep would throw an InterruptedException

[hoary scarab]

If the server was exited by SIGINT
It wouldn't be running onDisable then

[worn jasper]

yeah will use this.

Also, best way to serialize a PlayerInventory object?

[minor summit]

yes it does

[dense drift]

I think most people use base64. If you are using paper, make sure to use their (de)serialization methods from the ItemStack clash over bukkit's hacky BukkitObjectStream thingy

[minor summit]

the server has signal handlers for safe shutdown

[hoary scarab]

👍

[worn jasper]

is PlayerInventory even serializable?

[dusky harness]

paper's method calls Bukkit.getUnsafe() method iirc which calls nms method which turns into NBT

which minecraft itself uses to store the inventory

[minor summit]

the inventory itself is not serializable and has never been

[worn jasper]

what's paper's method?

[minor summit]

itemstack.serializeasbytes

[worn jasper]

itemstack being an item of the inventory? so I would have to serialize each item right?

[minor summit]

sure

you need to keep track of the index, array size etc yourself tho

[hoary scarab]

Pretty sure spigot can serialize contents. Doesn't look good though.

[worn jasper]

define doesn't look good

[hoary scarab]

Just how its looks in a yaml is bad

[river solstice]

just base64 it

kinda based approach if I say so myself

[dusky harness]

I meant the items

ig yeah the PlayerInventory itself isn't

oops

[worn jasper]

doesn't need to look good

also, any ideas why configurate might be having issues with a plugin that isn't even using it? https://paste.helpch.at/pojexaqapi.rb

One of the plugins have configurate, but like, tf?

[dusty frost]

base64 if you want to store it easily in a string format

paper serializeAsBytes if you want to store it efficiently

[worn jasper]

ok found out

[worn jasper]

yeah will probs go with that

[minor summit]

i mean even if you want to store it as base64 you're gonna use serializeAsBytes anyway

[river solstice]

when in doubt, base64

[hoary scarab]

Don't forget PDC and NBT 😉

[minor summit]

[river solstice]

based

[minor summit]

almost as if the error message said what the issue is

[worn jasper]

actually a little bit cringer, It happend cause I was using paper-plugin.yml and not plugin.yml lol

[minor summit]

how is that cringer lol

that is not what caused the error tho

the error is using paper-plugin.yml but declaring api-version 1.18, that would've never worked since paper plugins have only existed since api-version 1.19

[lyric gyro]

if (Bukkit.getPluginManager().isPluginEnabled("PlaceholderAPI")) {
PlaceholderAPI.registerPlaceholderHook("timerplugin", new TimerPlaceholderHook(this));
}

'registerPlaceholderHook(java.lang.String, me.clip.placeholderapi.PlaceholderHook)' is scheduled for removal in version 2.13.0 it count as error

[dusty frost]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/PlaceholderExpansion#register-the-expansion

[proud pebble]

you should be able to call new TimerPlaceholderHook(this).register()

[dapper jackal]

hello, to make an "avance" gui system I looked https://github.com/Flo0/GUITutorial but I don't really like the system.

So I preferred to do this:
I no longer use button classes (everything is done directly in the menu class itself) the same for click events, everything is defined in the gui class

Is it a good idea ?

[warm steppe]

[warm spear]

Hello, can someone answer my question. When someone create for example a skywars plugin, they have to create 2 different plugins ? a SkywarsLobby that will send players to skywars servers + retrieve database stats and a SkywarsGame plugin which will be the game core ?

[merry knoll]

"have to" no, they can be kept in the same jar

[sonic nebula]

they can do what ever they want

they dont have too anything

dumb question , he can make u also sperate lobby jar or both with config

[merry knoll]

that's what i am typing, please dont ping unnecessarily

[sonic nebula]

Ig the invisible mode does not have features of do not disturb 🫥

[worn jasper]

any ideas why Arrays.copyOf(inv.getContents(), inv.getContents().length) might not be copying properly? for instance, I copy the inventory and save it in ram, and display it in a gui, here's the thing, the guy update every time I remove an item from my inventory??? shouldn't it be a copy instead of the actual inventory?

#clone() does the same

so I am a bit confused

[river solstice]

Clone the itemstacks as well

Might be still referencing the same items, no?

My best guess

[worn jasper]

yeah it was

also, if I set keys in a section (yaml), do I need to also set the section again or will setting the keys in the section obj already be enough?

unsure if I explained it correctly but yeah

[dense drift]

setting section.bla.key will create all parents in order to set key.

[river solstice]

Best way to know is to fuck around and find out

[sonic nebula]

If path does not exist it will create else , and yeah , how ever i think u r pretty experienced dev and I would suggest to not use SnakeYaml for data storage, also better use json or SQLite , or for some config and etc u can use other files u r not forced to stick to yaml…

[worn jasper]

Fun fact, using json, but I am kinda forced to use this library called "SimplixStorage", I am modifying an already existing plugin.

And that library supports both json and yml, so the section also works in json in this case

lol

[minor summit]

the concept of "sections" foo.bar.baz like that is not really a yaml thing, that's purely a bukkit config construct

so asking that question and saying "but im using this other library" can backfire hard if you don't know it well

[river solstice]

manz destroyed by fax and logistics

[sonic nebula]

yeah tbh the bukkit config construct isnt really user friendly and it makes many things way harder then you cloud do it by your self in general by writing own file writer / reader

[hazy nimbus]

real men use .properties for configuration

[warm steppe]

nah

real men hardcode configuration

[sonic nebula]

🤣

[sonic nebula]

not funny -300 citizen score.

[hoary scarab]

Probably simple but why is

return new ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket(actions, Collections.singletonList(npc.getEntity()));
```Showing an error in the compiler but```java
Collection collection = Collections.singletonList(npc.getEntity());
return new ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket(actions, collection);
```isn't?

[dense drift]

maybe because of the Collection instead of Collection<T>?

[hoary scarab]

So should I cast it on the first one? (Collection<T>) Collections.single

[sonic nebula]

null

[craggy pelican]

a cause of what is happening?

[sonic nebula]

its nulll

[craggy pelican]

bcs its working well but spamming this error

[sonic nebula]

please do java homework on what is null 😉

[dawn viper]

pretty sure that isn't the issue

it's a ConcurrentModificationException

[sonic nebula]

null

java.util.ConcurrentModificationException: null

[dawn viper]

which means you're interacting with a map or collection that was edited while your code ran

happens with async tasks

[craggy pelican]

ho ok thx

[dawn viper]

I'm guessing it may be your queueFaction map

since you're removing values inside of the for loop

[craggy pelican]

yeah is forgot to use async im stupid

[sonic nebula]

hm yeah

add to list

that u remove from

outside of for (p : p.)

still a null error

how ever

[dawn viper]

List<ProxiedPlayer> queuedPlayers = new ArrayList(queueFaction.keySet());

add that before the loop

and use queuedPlayers instead of queueFaction.keySet()

[sonic nebula]

cloud you explaini hmi why

and not just spoon feed

[craggy pelican]

ok thx i'll try

[dawn viper]

yeah of course

[sonic nebula]

stormas read this carefully you need it because you stupid

[dawn viper]

get out

you're not helping nor bringing any important info to this topic

[craggy pelican]

the guy is so bitter

[dawn viper]

nor even trying to help or giving relevant information

[craggy pelican]

yeah

[sonic nebula]

Tanguygab are you mentally unstable? just spoon feeding maybe volunteer to code for others ?

[craggy pelican]

this guy is trash

[dawn viper]

Because you're modifying the map while iterating over it (accessing it with the for loop), it throws a ConcurrentModificationException.
To avoid this, you have to save the keyset in a variable that's independent from your map

[dense drift]

what does ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket accept?

[sonic nebula]

just used his words.

[hoary scarab]

Collection (ServerPlayer)

[dawn viper]

I'm also explaining things

am I mentally unstable because I help others?

[sonic nebula]

it was a question are you?

[dawn viper]

then that means that everytime I encountered a bug, all the people that tried to help me were mentally unstable as well

[craggy pelican]

talking to TonyFalk is a waste of time

thx for your help Tanguygab i'll try

[dawn viper]

yeah, anyways

[sonic nebula]

stormas make sure to write credit to tanguygab

[broken elbow]

how about you all stop insulting eacho ther? Thanks.

[dawn viper]

so you create a new list with all the values inside the keyset, and it won't be affected by the changes in the map

and won't throw an error

[hoary scarab]

Nothing wrong with spoonfeeding. If the user doesn't want to learn from the code provided thats on them.

[dawn viper]

in this case, they did, and that's why I provided info on what I did

[sonic nebula]

nah men he didnt learn java its different

[hoary scarab]

cough

[dawn viper]

sync/async stuff can be quite tricky, even I have issues with it to this day

[sonic nebula]

and he legit got a clear stacktrace

[dawn viper]

you got confused as well and thought it was an NPE

[sonic nebula]

i hate beggers what keep them alive are those who give them money instead of a job

didnt say its null pointer expec

i said null

[dawn viper]

what is null then?

[sonic nebula]

java.util.ConcurrentModificationException: null < hint

[dawn viper]

yeah, so what's null?

[hoary scarab]

... I've seen people turn down jobs and continue to "beg". Can't fix people.

[lyric gyro]

goober soup

[hoary scarab]

Can you show the error and code again so I don't have to search.

[sonic nebula]

let them starve to death

java.util.ConcurrentModificationException: null < thats the error code

[dawn viper]

here

[sonic nebula]

since he remove something mid of loop

from a list he loops in

like wtf

[dawn viper]

but dw Yap, already helped them

[hoary scarab]

Object removed from the list as you're looping through it. Making it null when the loop reaches it.

[dawn viper]

that's a better explanation than null

[hoary scarab]

🤷

[sonic nebula]

its null

[hoary scarab]

^^^

[dawn viper]

yeah but what is null

[sonic nebula]

you want me to define null?

for who

[dawn viper]

you just say "null" without saying which element is null

how is that helping ?

[sonic nebula]

for the guy who would just beg till we recode his code so he can say i did it my self?

[dawn viper]

eh, anyways, I'm done here

[sonic nebula]

which element can be in his loop?

you would better send him a guide on how to read stacktraces and a link to java for beginners book guide in amazon

maybe he would be able to finish his plugin

[minor summit]

that null there is just there was no specific error message

an exception without message will say null

[proud pebble]

how to avoid concurrentmodificationexception: loop backwards instead of forwards

or just use the iterator and modify with that

tho in this case the loop backwards wouldnt work since they arent removing based on the position of the set

also i understand what this piece of code is doing, keeping track of the player's position in the queue and then if they get transferred remove them from the map and update everyones position

personally id split this up into two loops, have an integer variable that keeps track of how many people were removed from the keyset, then if its above 0 then to do the update of the objects in the map

i was gunna say to have a boolean that acts like a flag if any player was removed from the map but the counter would do the exact same

it would mean your not looping through the map more then twice per run

and using the map's iterator would stop the concurrentmodificationexception

[hoary scarab]

Or... use concurrent objects.

[minor summit]

or just use an actual Queue

and just .poll

[icy shadow]

Or remove mutability entirely

[proud pebble]

ooo java has Queue stuff built in, interesting

[lyric gyro]

java has pretty much all data structure stuff built in lol

[minor summit]

mfw it doesn't have a concurrent linked hash map

[pulsar ferry]

It makes me so sad 😔

[minor summit]

caffeine 😌

[sterile hinge]

it also has no trie implementation afaik

[minor summit]

yeah I was just thinking that too

[proud pebble]

theres probably tons of stuff built into java that i dont know about

[dense drift]

+1

[icy shadow]

It does not have an immutable lazy cons list either

unfortunately

[sterile hinge]

funnily, javac has a singly linked list implementation that is used basically everywhere

*immutable

but not lazy :(

[craggy stump]

I bought a plugin and it has this class inside, is it malware?
https://paste.md-5.net/qosimohido.java

[icy shadow]

awesome… I love Java now

[sterile hinge]

most likely, yes

[dense drift]

yes

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/be-careful-compromised-spigot-accounts-might-be-posting-plugin-updates-with-malware.496738/page-5#post-4152638

[sharp hemlock]

It’s writing stuff to plugins’ jar files

So ye

It’s malware

[shell moon]

is Player#getStatistic heavy to use for example in Block break event?

[dusky harness]

I assume it's already cached in memory

In like a map

So I don't think so

[shell moon]

Good to hear!

[dusk crypt]

Anyone knows any better option rather than using parseother in checking other players stats? Decided to create a GUI that shows the data of a said player when tying /playerinfo [playername] and sending the playername from the parseother placeholder but looks like it only checks if the player is online. Looking for ways to make it work even if the player is offline

[dense drift]

Wrong channel.

[gleaming stone]

aw

i need helpp

[minor summit]

If I check for Packet class... Other methods with parameters that extend packet will be found.

how is that an issue? param == Packet.class will be true if the parameter type is Packet, not subclasses

also what happens if there are two methods with the same parameters lol

[sterile hinge]

                if(methodParams[i] instanceof Object);
                    continue;

which IDE are you using and why doesn't it scream at you?

also, MethodHandles >>>

[dense drift]

you can as well do an if (true == true) 🤣

[sterile hinge]

I mean, the if doesn't do anything

it just always continues

wait you're really using Eclipse? Are you compiling with Eclipse too?

Because that code doesn't even compile

[dense drift]

eclipse moment

[sterile hinge]

well your compiler compiles code that isn't valid Java

[minor summit]

how is that a good thing lmao

[sterile hinge]

1. the first if has an empty body (;)
2. something instanceof Object is equal to a null check
3. the second if is unreachable

this whole loop does exactly nothing

[minor summit]

you do

[icy shadow]

perhaps the better question is why do you have a ; at the end of an if?

[sterile hinge]

...

[dense drift]

https://tenor.com/view/rush-hour-chris-tucker-gif-3534988

yeah sadly tenor let me down this time

[sterile hinge]

also still, getParameterTypes returns an array of nonnull entries

[dense drift]

https://tenor.com/view/chris-tucker-understand-rushhour-rush-hour-gif-10174161

[sterile hinge]

and also still this

and if you want to reimplement method selection, you should take a look at the JLS I guess

[minor summit]

uh.. how is this any different than Class::getDeclaredMethod(String name, Class<?>... paramTypes)

[dense drift]

hold on, there is a reason

[sterile hinge]

it takes a return type I guess

[dense drift]

yeah I think it was that

Because Arrays.equals(Method.getParameterTypes(), parameterTypes) are not equal. One contains Ball and the method contains Object. (Don't ask me why)

no I mean, why is that a problem

it is clearly a miss-use of Class::getDeclaredMethod

[minor summit]

for(int i = 0; i < methodParams.length; i++) {
    if(methodParams[i] instanceof Object)
        continue;
    if(!methodParams[i].equals(parameterTypes[i]))
        continue methodLoop;
}

this will always fall into the first continue
getParameterTypes returns Class<?>[] where the elements are valid Classes, a valid Class instance is instanceof Object

[sterile hinge]

public void a(Ball b, Object o), public void a(Object o, Ball b), what does getMethodByParameterTypes(<location>, a, null, Ball.class, Ball.class); return?

[hazy nimbus]

allow me to introduce you a staggering concept

the debugger

[minor summit]

this still applies

you are misunderstanding what instanceof does

instanceof checks that the live object reference is an instance of the type on the rhs

clearly you don't

because you're using it wrong

a Class object will always be an instanceof Object

then stop doing things wrong lmao

the first step towards accepting help is stop thinking you know better

[minor summit]

which is not the same as it being == Object.class, which is likely what you want

println(Object.class instanceof Object)
println("hello" instanceof Object)
println(List.class instanceof Object)
println(new ArrayList<>() instanceof Object)

all of these print true

this will always be true

then the entire loop is completely useless

if all it does on every single iteration is continue; then there is no point in having it altogether

that is not what that code checks for

[minor summit]

_ _

clazz instanceof Object is not the same as clazz == Object.class

all and every of the parameter classes will always be instanceof Object, rendering the whole for loop useless as it will only just continue;

a Class object is always an instanceof Object

the type it represents might not be Object itself, now that is what you want to check

[worn jasper]

wait a minute

why is emily yellow

that's new

[minor summit]

i have digivolved

[worn jasper]

🎉

[sterile hinge]

you describe a == Object.class here, which is totally different from instanceof

[minor summit]

or

crazy idea

== Object.class

[sterile hinge]

getGenericParameterTypes might be helpful

[dense drift]

generics like T turn into Object.class if you use getMethod from what I've seen, probabably with other methods and checks you can get the generic type, idk

[dense drift]

why aren't you checking for PacketPlayInBoatMove.class or ServerboundPongPacket.class directly?

well, time for a new method for parameterised types

or well to turn your method into that and use Class#getDeclaredMethod for the rest of the methods

How to change the mob inside the mob spawner to something like a undead zombie horse?

[pearl topaz]

does anyone know a way to disable break progress for specific blocks in a world for players, so instead of the blockbreakevent being cancelled the block is just treated like bedrock? I would never even think this to be possible but hypixel seems to do it in their skyblock mines.

if anyone has any idea please ping me

[upper jasper]

You could give them max mining fatigue when they mine that specific block, disables the block breaking animation

[pearl topaz]

good idea

ill try it

[proud pebble]

hypixel gives players a high mining fatigue and then does its own calculation to figure out the progress you have towards breaking the block and sends packets to the client to update the block's break progress animation

ofcourse make sure if they break the block normally to cancel it

since on some blocks depending on the tool used it you can still break the block in a somewhat decent time

like efficiency 5 shears on leaves

[merry knoll]

doubt you need the fatigue, cancel the interact and damage/ progress packets and send your own

[proud pebble]

theres gotta be a reason why hypixel does mining fatigue, tho they are running 1.7 so it wouldnt suprise me if you dont need mining fatigue anymore for it to work

[merry knoll]

i bet its about the times where the block breaks too fast client side

so it shows as broken then pops back up

[proud pebble]

like with shears mining leaves instances

[merry knoll]

ye, most likely

[leaden sinew]

You do

[cloud panther]

how do you change the little mob inside the mob spawner?

[merry knoll]

reason?

[merry knoll]

CreatureSpawner class most likely

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/block/CreatureSpawner.html

[cloud panther]

would it be possible to set it to something like Zombie Horse or Skeleton Horse or smth?

[merry knoll]

it should be fine with any entity afaik

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/EntityType.html

takes these as type

[cloud panther]

ah cheers!

[sullen creek]

hey anyone see anything wrong with my PLugin.yml or where it is in my project? Plugin builds fine just get plugin.yml not found when it tries to start

https://imgur.com/yUdmqfz

Can send full yml if needed

[proud pebble]

whats the error you get when you start the server with the plugin installed?

[sullen creek]

Its plugin.yml not found

[proud pebble]

the full thing

[sullen creek]

Let me grab it

One sec

[proud pebble]

also post your pom.xml to paste.helpch.at

then post the link here

[leaden sinew]

Player side you’ll get halfway through breaking a block before the break progress is reset to 0

[sullen creek]

https://paste.helpch.at/qufuqonafe.css

Let me grab pm

pom

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

Pom

[proud pebble]

iit doesnt look like theres anything missing, have you tried to recompiling to see if it was just a random occurence for it to not show up?

[sullen creek]

I have built it multiple times

Same error

idk why its doing this

[sullen creek]

Anyone else have any ideas?

Because I see nothing wrong

Also idk if this is related but when I put the jar into this website

https://www.ezyzip.com/open-extract-jar-file.html

There is no resource folder or plugin.yml... Is it maybe my build artifacts thing is fucked up?

Ok yeah thats what it is

Build was messed up

So plugin.yml error is gone but the plugin still doesnt show up when I do /plugins and I see no errors in console when I start the server

https://paste.helpch.at/gecoregavi.md

Here is what I get when I start server

Did I mess up my vault dependency thing?

Is that maybe what it is?

@proud pebble thoughts?

[leaden sinew]

Send your plugin.yml in a paste

Also make sure you aren’t shading vault

[sullen creek]

@leaden sinew

[sullen creek]

Is there a way for me to test to see if its being shaded. Tbh not too familiar with that term

[leaden sinew]

That’s not your plugin.yml

[leaden sinew]

Open your jar with 7zip or something and check for vault classes

[sullen creek]

https://paste.helpch.at/ajoguvakew.yaml

My bad

[leaden sinew]

It looks fine as far as I can tell

Try checking your jar

[sullen creek]

https://imgur.com/undefined

This is jar

It goes jar>net>milkbowl>vault

[leaden sinew]

Yeah you’re shading it

[sullen creek]

Ah ok

How do I unshade it

I have the vault.jar chilling in my downloads is that the problem maybe?

Idk where it got the net folder from tbh

[leaden sinew]

Try looking up how to make dependencies compile only in Maven, idk how because I use Gradle

[sullen creek]

Will google a bit

Thxx

[pulsar ferry]

It's already correct on the pom, provided does exactly that

[sullen creek]

Any idea why its getting messed up then

[pulsar ferry]

Not sure, how are you building the jar?

[sullen creek]

Intellij build artifacts thing

One sec can get a screenshot

[pulsar ferry]

That is probably the issue, you should build with maven

[sullen creek]

Can I do that through Intellij?

[proud pebble]

yes

[sullen creek]

W ok

Will google that

[proud pebble]

just create a maven configuration and run clean package

[sullen creek]

I dont see anything in the build artifacts section about Maven

One sec sending pic

https://imgur.com/PeR1Rm1

[sullen creek]

@proud pebble @pulsar ferry @leaden sinew thoughts?

[proud pebble]

you dont do it there

[sullen creek]

Oh??

[proud pebble]

you should see a box like this on the top right to top middle of intellij

tho i think the icon will be different

also delete both artifacts you dont need them

or go to Run -> edit configurations

click the +, then click maven

then in the Run box put clean package

click apply and then close the window and you should see a green arrow, click it

[sullen creek]

https://imgur.com/xMvRf1W

[sullen creek]

Ye I have the same thing just with a little M icon

Where does the .jar go though?

When built

[dense drift]

M is from maven

[pearl topaz]

i checked and as far as i can see there is no way to stop breaking by cancelling any sort of packet, i looked for ages

[dense drift]

i think it is on release or build

[pearl topaz]

oh wow that's fancy, thanks

[sullen creek]

I dont have either of those folders tho

[dense drift]

do mvn package, not build

Ah nvm, lunaiskey told you to use package too

As long you run the configuration and it doesnt fail, you should see a new folder with the jar inside

[sullen creek]

I'm not quiet sure how to register a command without plugin.yml but I tried something like:

for(String page : getPages()) {
            getCommand(page).setExecutor(
                new CommandExecutor(){ 
                    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
                        System.out.println(cmd);
                        System.out.println(args);
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            );
        }

Which defenatly wouldn't work, anyone have idea how can i register commands using string list from config?

[sullen creek]

Fixed this

Had to fix the directory

[dense drift]

1. Use a command lib
2. Use a command lib
3. Look how command libs does it. Technically you need to add the command to the commands map, which is a field on, uh, Server I think.

[sullen creek]

[sullen creek]

Wait, got it to compile. Needed to change the path in the pom but now it isnt detecting the plugin.yml. Will decompile the .jar and see if its doing smthn funky again

[merry knoll]

its player action packet

[pearl topaz]

yeah ik

but there is no progress

just start and stop

[merry knoll]

yes

[pearl topaz]

and cancelling it does nothing

i tried

[merry knoll]

its something else one sec

i used it in the past

[sullen creek]

Now I am not sure if this is being cased by weird build thing or if this is being caused by plugin.yml

https://paste.helpch.at/pedohakelu.vbnet

[merry knoll]

its this

[merry knoll]

cancelling it would make it so that its not dig, clientside it probably still breaks

[pearl topaz]

is it client or server bound

[merry knoll]

hence the fatigue

[pearl topaz]

yeah exactly it still breaks

so it has the same effect as cancelling blockbreakevent

[merry knoll]

ye we were discussing it above, fatigue is for clientside

[merry knoll]

yes no difference, i would cancel interact though probably

[pearl topaz]

yeah ok ill play around when i get the chance

thanks for your help

[merry knoll]

what i wonder

is applying fatigue on interact enough?

since i feel with fast breaking blocks, between ticks might be too late

[sullen creek]

I think this is correct??

https://imgur.com/FosikZB

[pearl topaz]

no it wont

but thats the best ive seen so far

i would probably leave minimg fatigue on tho and just do the custom breaking

and then i get to set custom tool speeds

and i dont think interact can detect stop breaking so id use packets

PlayerAction 0 and 1

[pearl topaz]

plugin.yml needs to be inside resources

the folder

does DogPlugin extend JavaPlugin?

[proud pebble]

just change the details to your stuff if you couldnt get your pom to work correctly

[sullen creek]

I think everything is building correctly but for some reason it cant find the main file

When I extract the .jar it shows that the MyDog main file is in there

But I am still getting the error

[proud pebble]

according to this its trying to get yourt main class at machu.dogplugin

not machu.dogplugin.MyDog

[sullen creek]

Ye but idk why

Since my plugin.yml says machu.dogplugin.MyDog

[proud pebble]

also really you're supposed to do me.machu.dogplugin.MyDog

since that complies with the java naming conventions

[sullen creek]

Ah ok

[proud pebble]

dm me a copy of the plugin

[sullen creek]

Just the .jar?

[proud pebble]

yep

[sullen creek]

Or a zip of the project

Ok

[proud pebble]

apparently its not

[sullen creek]

??????

[proud pebble]

recheck your plugin.yml is correct

if it is try just restarting intellij and try again

[sullen creek]

https://imgur.com/hrT66uA

Will try restarting

[sullen creek]

Restarted, plugin.yml is still correct but its still giving same error

is it a build thing then?

[proud pebble]

it shouldnt modify the yml file

try using the pom.xml i provided #development message

ofcourse change it

i say to try that cus it could be a pom.xml problem and i see some differences from mine to yours but i know that mine definitly gives a valid yaml file

[sullen creek]

Got it

Idk if I downloaded the wrong .jar or something

But I cant get this to work at all

Ok got it to build again

Current pom

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

Same issue

org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidPluginException: Cannot find main class machu.dogplugin'`

Absolutely no idea why it stil thinks its machu.dogplugin

plugin.yml says machu.dogplugin.MyDog

Ok so this is odd

Even when I delete the plugin.yml all together I still get the same error

So idk what is happening here

Ok so had to change the resources directory in my pom

But now I just get the error

org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidPluginException: Cannot find main class machu.dogplugin.MyDog'`

Which makes like no sense because the MyDog.java file is there in the .jar

[tight junco]

what is the actual path to the file

[sullen creek]

/Users/matt/IdeaProjects/DogPlugin/src/main/java/machu/dogplugin

[tight junco]

then the file is not actually located within the java file

[sullen creek]

Huh?

[tight junco]

nope thats not english

the java file is not located in the .jar

[sullen creek]

It is tho

[tight junco]

Are you able to send me the jar file in my dms

i can confirm

your jar is all sorts of weirdge

[icy shadow]

why does your jar file contain .java files 😵‍💫

[sullen creek]

Is it not supposed to??

How did I fuxk this up this bad lmao

[tight junco]

its supposed to contain class files

Class is the compiled version of each file

[sullen creek]

I see

So why does it have .java???

[icy shadow]

thats a very good question

I am not familiar with Maven building so this is very new to me lmao

@icy shadow This

[sullen creek]

Maven

[sullen creek]

I was just building the artifacts using Intellij but I was told here not to do that

I have no idea how its making the .jar files or how to not make it do that tbh

Maybe its something with my pom?

[tight junco]

Are you able to create install task

mvn install

whatever it is like

[pulsar ferry]

It'd be mvn clean package for building the jar

[sullen creek]

Right now its just package

[tight junco]

would it

i dont know maven its kinda stupid

i think i always did install

[sullen creek]

Will send screenshot in sec

[pulsar ferry]

Package creates the jar, install also publishes it to maven local, which most of the times you don't really care for

@warm steppe thats the latest log

[chrome hedge]

quick question, is it efficient to be querying an SQLite database every time onPlaceholderRequest is called?

[pulsar ferry]

Defnitely not

[minor summit]

i mean sqlite is pretty fast

but an in-memory cache is faster

[warm steppe]

@minor summit isn't like mysql generally faster and more efficient than sqlite ?

[minor summit]

a) not necessarily b) whether you use mysql or sqlite solves different problems

[proud pebble]

you should cache the results

[proud pebble]

lets say i wanted to store a boolean value at a coordinates, would i be better of having multiple nested maps of integer or use a tuple

id assume nested maps would be faster since it wpuldnt have to loop over every value till you find it

since it wouldnt have duplicate single values

for example 1,2,2 and 1,3,4

[wind reef]

In short, if you have a small coordinate space and value access speed is a priority, nested maps of integers would be the better choice. If you need flexibility and simplicity, and the size of the coordinate space is not a concern, tuples would be a suitable option.

[chrome hedge]

so, for example, keep a Map<UUID, Statistic> in memory that stores the data of all online players?

[wind reef]

hmmm

[worn jasper]

coordinates? why not use arrays?

you can do like array[x][y][z]

[wind reef]

yeah that could aslo be a good option

[dusky harness]

Uhhhh

Out of memory error incoming

🥲

I think?

Ya

[hoary scarab]

Think he meant int[] coord = new int[x,y,z];
Not nested.

[worn jasper]

actually I did mean nested, didn't know the above existed

and good to know that could be a memory issue

[dense drift]

coord[99999, 25, 99999] = true 😵

[sterile hinge]

Do you have the states (true, false, absent) or actually only two states per coordinate?

[sullen creek]

Hey not sure if this is a question for this kinda server but u know how in MC when u hit a mob like a pig or cow it begins running from the player. Is there a way to summon in the entity so that is in a constant state of fleeing or running?

[proud pebble]

true or false/absent(since they can be expressed as both and it would be assumed as such)

also considered making a byte array to save on space otherwise there would be tons of wasted bits

[sterile hinge]

Well if you only need one bit per coordinate, you can use BitSet

Then it depends on whether you have a fixed bounding box

[proud pebble]

yep, a single full block

[sterile hinge]

Then you can just linearize the coordinate and use it as index for a BitSet

If it’s sparse, there might be even better solutions, but that is really heavily use case dependent

[proud pebble]

the usecase of this is deciding on if the block as said coordinate has been modified by a player for figuring out if the block should give xp or not, so preventing just breaking and placing the same block to gain xp

[hoary scarab]

Doesn't the API have a method for that now?

[proud pebble]

i dont know, im just considering if there isnt already a system for that

[sterile hinge]

In that case a sparse bitset implementation might make sense, depending on the size and how much you care about memory usage

[dense drift]

There is MetaData, that you can set with a plugin to a block, can you not use that?

[proud pebble]

would using a byte[] require less memory then a bitset? i would assume yes but ive never tested it

[proud pebble]

mind pointing me in the direction of where to find that

[dense drift]

Block#setMetadata https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/metadata/Metadatable.html#setMetadata(java.lang.String,org.bukkit.metadata.MetadataValue)

you can just set a bite and then check Block#hasMetadata(key)

[proud pebble]

that looks pretty useful

tho ig if i wanted to reduce memory usage for my specific usecase then a byte[] or bitset might work better

[lyric gyro]

had a same issue with some plugin i was making, but used this as a quick fix and it works pretty good:
https://github.com/Flo0/PlayerBlockTracker

it works the same way kinda

[edgy lintel]

whats the packet that get sent when the player is initially spawned

[dense drift]

Ig the same you use to spawn npcs? So smth like world entity add

[edgy lintel]

just checked its playerinfoupdate for removing and spawning players
and spawnplayer packet for updating whenever coming to visible range

thx for help tho

[edgy lintel]

where is com.mojang.authlib.GameProfile in 1.17+ jars? i cant find it anywhere in the nms jar

nvm found it in authlib.jar

[gleaming tide]

I have a problem with PlaceHolderAPI: Caused by: org.bukkit.plugin.UnknownDependencyException: PlaceHolderAPI

[dense drift]

Because it is PlaceholderAPI 🙂

For some reason my HikariCP connections are insane slow which means I messed something up...
both SQLite and MySQL is super slow. and when I reload (I know I shouldn't) server I get [18:30:38 ERROR]: Could not generate table(s) reason: [SQLITE_BUSY] The database file is locked (database is locked)

The SQLite thing, the onDisable() is just source.close(), so shouldn't be an issue? when I connect and load the data it delays the login super slow too.

        File file = new File(homes.getDataFolder(), "storage.db");
        if(!file.exists()) {
            try {
                boolean fileCreated = file.createNewFile();
                if (!fileCreated) {
                    throw new IOException("Tried making a new config, but it already exists. It's a non issue, but shouldn't happen regardless.");
                }
            } catch(IOException e) {
                Bukkit.getLogger().severe("Could not generate 'storage.db' reason: " + e.getMessage());
                homes.getServer().getPluginManager().disablePlugin(homes);
            }
        }
        HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig();
        config.setDriverClassName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
        config.setJdbcUrl("jdbc:sqlite:" + file);
        config.setMaximumPoolSize(1);
        config.setAutoCommit(false);
        dataSource = new HikariDataSource(config);
    }```

tried setting the pool higher

[dense drift]

You don't need hikari for sqlite

[spiral mural]

I know, but the plugin has a toggle feature between MySQL and sqlite

open source / public

[dense drift]

F

[spiral mural]

https://github.com/pricelessdev/Homes/blob/master/src/main/java/me/albus/homes/Database/Database.java if that helps

[minor summit]

rogue unclosed connection at https://github.com/pricelessdev/Homes/blob/master/src/main/java/me/albus/homes/Database/Database.java#L61
should do

try (Connection c = dataSource.getConnection();
    Statement s = c.createStatement()) {
  // ...
}

[dense drift]

dont you also need to commit changes since auto commit is disabled?

[spiral mural]

could you elaborate Emily, by rouge what do you mean? I should move the statement inside the brackets?

[dense drift]

No, she means you need to use try-with-resources when using Hikari, to close the connection after you are done. Like in the code snippet she sent.

[spiral mural]

It fixed the problem yea 😛

[cerulean birch]

what’s the difference between nbt and pdc? is pdc just more flexible and nbt just pointless?

making a pickaxe customization system and wondering whether to use nbt or pdc

[edgy lintel]

nbt is the native and internal way of minecraft dealing with data, while PDC is a spigot wrapper for NBT with more flexibility and easy to use API. NBT is just hard to use and it can get very messy in cases
Depending on what you need but mostly PDC is enough. You can use NBT if you need a bit more customization for your pickaxe though, or if in certain cases you need your own implementations for the data stored (nested nbt and stuffs?).

(someone may have a better explanation than me)

[graceful hedge]

its nice if u wanna attach data to some minecraft object, as its saved and loaded by the object its attached to

and sometimes its just nice as opposed to implementing ur own storage code

[icy shadow]

they are the same thing

pdc is just a frontend to nbt in the spigot api

there should be no functional difference

unless you specifically need to edit a “hardcoded” nbt tag

[dense drift]

yeah, and you can not have nested tags though

[warm steppe]

can't*

[minor summit]

huh? wdym? like "plugin:cool": { "plugin:thing": 123 }?

[dense drift]

yeah, compounds or how are they called

[minor summit]

you can do that

[dense drift]

oh damn, I see now

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/persistence/PersistentDataType.html#TAG_CONTAINER

[minor summit]

yeah

[dense drift]

cool, but I think this wasn't possible at some point D:

good to know

[hazy nimbus]

Hey, what's that page?

[minor summit]

https://jd.andross.fr/tools/versions.html

pretty neat, unfortunately outdated

[dense drift]

yeah F

[dense drift]

How can I set a different language level for the test module? I get this error with the following configuration

    compileTestJava {
        sourceCompatibility = "17"
        targetCompatibility = "17"
    }```
`Cause: invalid source release: 17`

I'm testing some things for a plugin on the test module, through a class with a main method

[minor summit]

assuming the project's java toolchain version is < 17?

[dense drift]

yeah

[minor summit]

well there's your issue

set the toolchain version to >= 17

the test compile release flag to 17 and the regular compile release flag to <= 17

[dense drift]

aight, that worked, thanks em

[hazy nimbus]

Is it OSS?

[minor summit]

not

[hazy nimbus]

:(

[dense drift]

@dusty frost to use transaction, did you had to set allowMultiQueries=true? Without that option, it complains about this

START TRANSACTION;

SET @AMOUNT_TO_BUY = ?;
SET @ITEM_ID = ?;
-- the rest of the transaction

java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'SET @AMOUNT_TO_BUY = 4;
SET @ITEM_ID = 'test_item_1';```

I mean, it would make sense to require that, I just want to make sure xD

[pulsar ferry]

Oh boy raw sql transactions, you don't have an orm or some other framework to handle that for you? Will make your life so much easier

[dense drift]

nah, I got only a few queries anyways

although I might look into that java library, was it ormlite?

[hazy nimbus]

I mean, even JDBC has a wrapper for transactions right?

[hazy nimbus]

U doing this in java?

[dusty frost]

i used the prepared statements in postgres, so not sure, but from a cursory google search it looks like yeah you need to turn that on manually to make sure you understand the ramifications of not doing SQl injection on yourself lol

[pulsar ferry]

Yeah I think so

That's why I found odd to see it being used raw

[dense drift]

otherwise I wouldn't mention java

hmm

[hazy nimbus]

See

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/jdbc/jdbc-transactions.htm

Probably a bit outdated, but should work

[dense drift]

Interesting

[hazy nimbus]

It's not like the JDBC API changes often, if ever

[dusty frost]

i also have moved to doing stuff in a web backend and just contacting it with HTTP calls for consolidation and stuff

[pulsar ferry]

This ^

[dense drift]

nah it is for a mc plugin

[pulsar ferry]

All database access being exclusive to microservices 😌

[hazy nimbus]

Doesn't that unnecessarily increase db latency tho?

[pulsar ferry]

That should not be a problem

[dusty frost]

i'm still in monolith land 😌

[dense drift]

maybe for a bigger project I would consider that, but doing everything on a single 'service' is fine for this use case.

[dusty frost]

k8s is still beyond the pale for me lol

[boreal drift]

Hey, I made a PersistentDataType of a MerchantRecipe list and it's working when the results and ingredients for the merchant recipes are ItemStacks. But when I try to use it with a subclass of ItemStack an error is thrown: https://pastebin.com/zxCrjs3L . Here's my MerchantRecipeListDataType class: https://pastebin.com/jBv1qQ0M. Does anybody know how to solve it?

[hazy nimbus]

You still need to cache the data locally tho, right?

[pulsar ferry]

Depends on the data and where it's used

[dense drift]

I use transactions for the stock of a shop, mc plugin as I've said.

Although I still need a local cache. Since mysql blocks rows used in transactions, how would I do the same for a local cache (smth like a Map<Item, Integer>)? Do I just slap a synchronous on the cache 🤣?

[minor summit]

It Depends™️

[dense drift]

Well the cache would be used when players try to buy an item from the shop that has a limited stock. Sadly I don't know how to process 'requests' for the same item one by one 😦

[hazy nimbus]

You could have a lock for the item

[dense drift]

Good point

[minor summit]

why do you need to process them one by one?

[dense drift]

Well not necessarily one by one, but in the order the players try to purchase an item. E.g. if there's 5 item X left in stock, and player A tries to purchase 4 at the same time with player B which tries to purchase 3, the first one would get his items, but the second won't be able to purchase, unless they change the quantity.

[hazy nimbus]

Can you guarantee that the players will be on the same server?

[minor summit]

surely you can alter the amount in bulk for however many items a player tries to purchase without doing it one by one, no?

[hazy nimbus]

If yes, use some locks, otherwise use transactions

[dense drift]

well yeah, ofc, this is an in-game shop

[minor summit]

if a player tries to purchase 4 of an item, do you get the 4 requests one after the other individually or as a single request?

[dense drift]

A single request, 4 items of the same type

[hazy nimbus]

Well if it were to be distributed (for example, Skyblock), you wouldn't be able to guarantee such a thing

[minor summit]

cuz like, for a local cache, with compute/merge/computeIfPresent etc you don't even need to do any locking yourself so long as you're using a concurrent map

[dense drift]

That sounds nice

[dense drift]

I don't plan to support multiple servers, so that's fine

And I wouldn't mind to ditch transactions, for now at least 🤣

[somber gale]

Is there some way to make Gson's fromJson return a default value should parsing not work (Return null)?
Like, I have this rn

try{
    // cacheFile is a Path instance
    BufferedReader reader = Files.newBufferedReader(cacheFile);
    
    // cachedPlayers is an ArrayList<CachedPlayer>
    // and listType is TypeToken<ArrayList<CachedPlayer>>(){}.getType()
    cachedPlayers = gson.fromJson(reader, listType);
    
    reader.close();
}catch(IOException ex){
    return;
}

// ... do stuff

What I hate here is, that Gson can return null for the cachedPlayers, which makes later stuff a lil more annoying to work with.
Is there a way to tell Gson to return a default should it fail to parse JSON?

[dense drift]

Optional#ofNullable and then #orElse maybe?

[somber gale]

Isn't Optional crap?

[dense drift]

Annoying to use sometimes? yes
Crap? NO

[somber gale]

Okay.... Doesn't seem to work

IJ yells at me that it needs a List yet I give it an Object

[dense drift]

?

You probably need to cast fromJson as List<>

[somber gale]

I just do an if check after doing the fromJson...

[minor summit]

that will only be null if the source is completely empty (an empty file/only whitespaces) or it's the null literal json value

don't know in what situations you'd end up with either of those cases unless the user just manually deletes the file contents without deleting the file; the second case is even funnier, typing null as the whole file content

[icy shadow]

why is MaterialData deprecated but ItemStack#setData not deprecated?

As long as you use the uuid provided by geyser and not their bedrock id.

Guys can somebody tell me whats better for minecraft

Typescript or javascript

Im focousing on makeing a minecraft client

[pulsar ferry]

That's a very confusing question, TS and JS main difference is for the programmer, TS is a lot nicer to code in
But that being said .. javascript .. for minecraft client? Huh?

@gleaming stone forgot to ping ^

[gleaming stone]

oh

[gleaming stone]

You can make a minecraft client with javascript right?

[pulsar ferry]

You can, but not very well and probably much much harder
Why not use Java?

[gleaming stone]

really?

I thought javascript was easier

[pulsar ferry]

Well if Minecraft was written in Javascript then maybe

[gleaming stone]

hmm makes sense

ALso why your here

[pulsar ferry]

Unless you mean launcher instead of client

[gleaming stone]

Can you help me with something?

[gleaming stone]

I mean the client

[gleaming stone]

^^

[pulsar ferry]

Depends on the something

hey, does anybody know how items from the plugin AdvancedEnchancements are identified? I mean, how can I check if an item is from that plugin?

[dense drift]

What are you trying to do?

I don't know if there's an api method to, e.g. check if an item is a book, but items have some NBT tags set that you can use.

[stuck canopy]

I am looking for a maintained Inventory library with 1.8-1.20 support. any suggestions?

[worn jasper]

triumph-gui works in those I think, might want to also check vision, although unsure if it supports all those versions, gotta ask @royal hedge

[stuck canopy]

thanks, I will check out triumph gui

whats Vision tho?

I mean I can't find it

[worn jasper]

https://vision.sparky983.me/

on the works

but yeah, quite promising

but it's paper only

[stuck canopy]

ah, I want it for Spigot

[worn jasper]

then triumph is your best bet

although, why xd

[hazy nimbus]

Spigot 💀

[stuck canopy]

wait, so if the library is made on papermc, will it work on spigot server?

[hazy nimbus]

No

[stuck canopy]

thats the reason

and spigot plugins work on papermc right?

coz papermc is a fork of spigot

[hazy nimbus]

Should

I still don't see a reason to support spigot on newer versions

[stuck canopy]

coz im creating the plugins to publish them

[hazy nimbus]

And?

[stuck canopy]

and not everyone uses papermc ig

[worn jasper]

over 80% of servers on 1.20 are using paper

and in all versions, over 70% are on paper or its forks

soo yeah...

[hazy nimbus]

Using spigot on newer versions is just pure ignorance

[stuck canopy]

what

Are most of the premium plugins made on papermc?

[hazy nimbus]

I don't use proprietary plugins

So idk

I, as a developer, liberated myself from supporting legacy versions

I use Java 17 and a modern Paper API

Never been happier

If some people don't want to upgrade to a normal version, they don't get to use the plugin

[stuck canopy]

are those plugins for personal use or for marketing?

[hazy nimbus]

Free and open source plugins

Or, plugin, to be exact

No DRM, no obfuscation, no bullshit

[worn jasper]

fuck premium

max, freemium

[nimble vale]

whats the equivalent of the AsyncPlayerChatEvent#setFormat method for AsyncChatEvent with components

there is a thing called renderer but i really couldn't figured out that

[small arrow]

https://pastes.dev/KXpZmmvR20
The plugin idea:
Randomly every 1-24hrs a players effect changes. These can be any of the buff or debuff effects in minecraft.
You can craft a Chaos Orb that will give you a permanent positive effect which is also random until you die. You can have an unlimited amount of chaos orbs in your inventory at a time. Meaning you can stack these permanent effects. However if you die the item is permanently removed from the game and there is no way to get it back. Meaning if someone kills you they don’t get the Chaos orb either.
The way to craft a chaos orb is like so 4 diamond blocks, 4 netherite ingots, and a splash potion of water. It does not matter how they are placed in the crafting table.
The Material for the Chaos orb is a snowball. Please edit the name of the snowball to display Chaos Orb in Red Bolded text.
If a player dies to another player the player who died has a 50/50 at a negative effect when they respawn which is permanent or losing 1-3 hearts on respawn.
If a player kills another player, the killer gets the same permanent positive effect as the Chaos orb or you gain 1-3 permanent hearts. This should be a 50/50 chance as well.

The Issue:
It appears to be that none of my Events are working at all. Is there any reason for this? I am yet to implement every single feature into the plugin but I mainly added in the important ones. Only thing that works is the ShapedRecipe.

[void orchid]

can you paste the code over to https://paste.helpch.at/ ? the one you linked doesn't seem to load

[small arrow]

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

done

[void orchid]

How do you know that the events are not working? Have you tried adding debug messages?

[small arrow]

The events don’t execute when they should be prompted to

Wait nvm I think it’s a stupid mistake by me

I have a condition which shouldn’t be there

[void orchid]

Try verifying your assumptions, trust me it'd help a lot

[small arrow]

yeah ik

i just added in some sout texts to debug to see if the events are being ran or not

yup got it to work basically i had a stupid condition that checked to see if a player had the ChaosOrb in their inv but that wasnt needed and I was using the wrong method to give the player a random effect

tysm for your help 😄

[void orchid]

you're welcome :)

[muted ruin]

what would be the easiest way to make dropped items only appear to some players?

[leaden sinew]

Packets

[muted ruin]

i need the ppl that can see them to be able to pick them up

[leaden sinew]

Use packets to hide them from other players

[muted ruin]

u can do that????

[leaden sinew]

Yeah just send the destroy packet

[muted ruin]

is protocollib used for packets?

[leaden sinew]

Yeah

[muted ruin]

they seem to re-appear after a few seconds, am i doing something wrong?

final ProtocolManager manager = ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager();
final PacketContainer packet = manager.createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.ENTITY_DESTROY);
packet.getIntLists().write(0, Collections.singletonList(item.getEntityId()));
for (final Player player : players) manager.sendServerPacket(player, packet);
```*fired right after item is spawned*

[leaden sinew]

Listen to the entity spawn packet, and then you can remove it

[muted ruin]

gotcha

[sonic nebula]

im back

hm guys how would u make prefiix and suffix to players? at the moment i use scoreboardpackets
