i also know u can rewrite the player name but limit is 16 digits which isnt enough for me

#

without using extra entities (like armorstands.)

Hello, can anyone tell me why offlineplayer.getName() returns me the uuid please ?


OfflinePlayer author = getServer().getOfflinePlayer(authorUUID);
                String authorName = author.getName();
                Bukkit.broadcastMessage(authorName);

Has the player ever joined the server?

wind tapir
#

it's me, yes

#

so, do you have an idea why please ?

# wind tapir Hello, can anyone tell me why offlineplayer.getName() returns me the uuid please...

do you see both the getuuid and getname method in offlineplayer interface? if not then it means spigot doesnt encourage you to resolve name directly as it may subject to changes over time and remains undetected until the player joins back

you can try to manually resolve the name via usercache.json(like make your plugin read usercache.json)
after all it kinda makes sense not to have an api method on something uncertain

wind tapir
edgy lintel
#

oh my bad, but still it makes sense

#

it may be a potential spigot bug or you have something miscoded

image.png
#

it returns null in any other cases rather than the uuid itself

wind tapir
edgy lintel
#

check usercache.json for the uuid and see what the corresponding name is
also it happens sometimes if you or some plugins mess with nms too much

wind tapir
edgy lintel
#

not sure about it then

#

imma take a quick look at the source code and see what i can find

#

whats the version

wind tapir
edgy lintel
#

nice!!!

wind tapir
edgy lintel
#

np but im not exactly sure about the cause
its something wrong in the level.dat probably and something messed with either internal classes or the world file

#

spigot api shows that its not supposed to happen unless something happens in nms internal

#

you may just add a check to see if uuid is equal to name or uuid is null, fetch directly from usercache.json or sth

wind tapir
edgy lintel
#

cool

doesnt offlineplayer pull from mojang if they didnt log in before?

worn jasper
#

is it on offline mode?

minor summit

minor summit
#

...

#

getOfflinePlayer(String) takes the name

#

the string is the name

#

not the uuid

#

if you want to pass the uuid, pass the UUID

#

getName isn't returning the uuid, it's returning the name you passed

wind tapir
#

...

#

im gonna test

minor summit
#

and what you passed is a name that happens to look like a Uuid

wind tapir
#

bruh

thank you

that works

Current Issue: After crafting the Chaos Orb, players have to re-click it in order to gain the positive effect.
What should Happen: Immediately after crafting the Chaos orb they gain the effect as long as its in their inventory, however once it leaves the effect also leaves.

Issue #2: After dropping the Chaos Orb, the player still have the effect
What should happen: After dropping the Chaos Orb, the players positive effect is removed

I've already tried multiple different ways to check the players inventory pls lmk if you have any suggestions 😄

small arrow
#

I still haven’t figured it out if anyone can help I’d appreciate it

tight junco
#

Im kinda confused on the functionality of the removePermanentPositiveEffects(Player) part

#

You're
-> getting the players active effects
-> removing all the positive effects the player has from the map player's active effect
-> removing each positive effect left in the map (the ones they dont have)

#

to be honest for the inventoryclickevent you could probably just do

onClick -> hasActiveAbility -> if no -> getInventoryContents -> hasOrb -> giveEffect

#

for giveExtraHearts id look into Player#setAttributeModifiers instead of setMaximumHealth (depending on plugin version really)

#

for the loseHeartsOnRespawn you could probably just do player#setHealth(Math.max(0, newHealth)

#

with the PlayerRespawnEvent, instead of having an if ladder you could probably just do ```java
if (player.getSpawnLocation() != null && !random.nextBoolean())
return;

// give effects

#

(i think)

sonic nebula
#

and decompile bukkit...

#

many of bukkit methods have one name and do other completely thing

tight junco
#

?

minor summit
#

it's not a bukkit method lmao

#

it's a method from the person above

Hi, I'm converting minimessage to components and then back to legacy text for PlaceholderAPI, but when I have just <red>, the output string is empty. Anyway I can get it to just output §c? Thanks

dense drift
#

Do you use Legacy ComponentSerializer or PlainText?

spiral prairie
#

the former

dense drift
#

Then it should work ig

spiral prairie
#

im creating the legacy component serializer, serializing a serialized component from minimessage and it outputs nothing

dense drift
#

Like nothing or no colors?

spiral prairie
#

it works if there is content like <red>sd, but not if i just want the color like <red>

dense drift
#

It might not work like that, because technically that's {text: "", color: "red"} I guess

spiral prairie
#

yea

#

i need that though

dense drift
#

Might be worth to ask on the Adventure server

spiral prairie
#

did already

#

thank you though PES_Heart appreaciate it

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?

#

This is 1.12.2 idk if that matters

hoary scarab
#

Should be able to just set the entities last damager. (Might need nms)

d;spigot Damageable#damage

uneven lanternBOT

org.bukkit.entity.Damageable#damage 
void damage(double amount, @Nullable Entity source)```
Description:

Deals the given amount of damage to this entity, from a specified entity.

Parameters:

amount - Amount of damage to deal
source - Entity which to attribute this damage from

Page 0 • Requested by: blitzoffline • spigot
broken elbow
#

I guess you could also constantly call this

hoary scarab
#

Is Damageable in 1.12 though?

broken elbow
#

yes

sullen creek
broken elbow
#

That's the spigot api

sullen creek
#

Would I just call the damage thing and make it take 0 health and just keep calling it?

#

Sorry still a bit confused about how id make this work

broken elbow
#

In the damage method you can pass an enitity (the source of the damage). so pass in the player

#

you want it to run from

sullen creek
#

Oh ok I see

#

ANd im assuming it would be fairly easy to just make it the player who exectued like a /pig spawn command

#

So I use that to deal damage and then make the source of the damage the player who executed the command. Will the pig just run forever or does it wear off eventually?

broken elbow
#

You'll have to test and see

sullen creek
#

Got it got it

#

Regardless shouldnt be hard to set a timer to recall the damage thing every x amount of time

#

Thanks Blitz

Does anyone know if it is possible to generate 1.8 docs with java 9 and above? I want the doc format with the search bar but somehow I can not run the fucking buildtool with java 17 https://pastes.dev/subZ5ZEFAQ

pastes | subZ5ZEFAQ

A paste containing 62 lines of plaintext.

dense drift
#

I've actually build the buildtool with java 8, and now I try to run mvn javadoc:jar with java 17
This is what I've tried
mvn clean javadoc:jar -Dmaven.compiler.executable="C:/Users/dumit/.jdks/temurin-17.0.5/bin/java"
But it fails

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:3.5.0:jar (default-cli) on project spigot-api: MavenReportException: Error while generating Javadoc:

For some reason it still uses java 8 ..

Hello, I'm attempting to make players glow, but only to specific players (i.e. make only your teammates glow). I'm currently using protocolLib packet listeners to attempt this, but the glowing often flickers. Sending fake packets every tick does seem to eliminate the problems, but I feel like this will end up causing way too much lag. I'm wondering if anyone else has attempted this or has any insight on the best way to accomplish this.

Does anyone have spigot javadocs for older versions hosted somewhere? I try to get some data from docs with axios and cloudflare blocks me with a 520 from accessing HelpChat docs https://helpch.at/
Is probably because it detects my code as a bot since I open every class one by one

Hello, someone have a tutorial/ecemple for pagnited menu/gui (no library)

well. I have a short question. If i want to make a plugin in 1.19 and i follow a tutorial for 1.18. will it work? or did the syntax in java changed from 1.18 to 1.19?

How can I get a list of all vanilla Minecraft structures (so all structure keys under the minecraft namespace)? I'm writing a random events plugin, and I want one event to be placing a random structure on the player. I tried StructureManager.getStructures(), but my understanding of this is that it only lists loaded structures, and could also list structures added by other plugins, which isn't ideal especially since my plugin is intended to be played on a void world where no structures will be loaded

proud pebble
tiny dew
#

I know how to place a Structure, I'm wanting to know how to get a list of all the structures in vanilla Minecraft

proud pebble
tiny dew
#

No. I tested it in a void world and it returns an empty list. Also, in the documentation, is says it only shows registered structured, and that if it isn't there it might be in the Minecraft folder (which would be vanilla structures, suggesting some vanilla structures may not be included)

minor summit
#

structures are datapack-driven

#

there isn't a built-in/hardcoded list that will always be available

tiny dew
#

I would settle for a list of all structures available in a world. This must exist because I get a list as a tab-completion in structure commands. Besides, from there I could just filter it down to structure's whose key starts with minecraft:

minor summit
#

technically, that constitutes the set of always available structures with 0 elements in it 🤓

proud pebble
#

maybe look through the command class for whatever command that shows you it

#

it might point towards the list of namespacekeys that is loaded wherever

tiny dew
#

I would imagine the command would be in net.minecraft.server.commands but I don't seem to see it

proud pebble
#

Command will either be the prefix or suffix of the class name

tiny dew
#

Ye I've tried searching for both CommandStructure and StructureCommand already 😕

proud pebble
#

ig time to find where all the commands are registered and print out the class name of the structure command

tiny dew
#

From what I can tell, they register themselves. For example, CommandEffect.java has thisjava public static void register(CommandDispatcher<CommandListenerWrapper> commanddispatcher, CommandBuildContext commandbuildcontext) { commanddispatcher.register((LiteralArgumentBuilder) ((LiteralArgumentBuilder) ((LiteralArgumentBuilder) net.minecraft.commands.CommandDispatcher.literal("effect").requires((commandlistenerwrapper) -> { return commandlistenerwrapper.hasPermission(2); })).then(((LiteralArgumentBuilder) net.minecraft.commands.CommandDispatcher.literal("clear").executes((commandcontext) -> { ... }))... }

#

I've already tried searching stuff like .literal("save") though and even that doesn't come up with anything

minor summit
#

that would be because it's not the structure command

#

it's the /place command

tiny dew
#

Oh 🤦‍♂️

#

Well I've found a few classes which import net.minecraft.server.commands.PlaceCommand; but I can't seem to find the PlaceCommand class itself

#

For me, only 15 classes show under net.minecraft.server.commands, and there's obviously more than 15 commands

minor summit
#

where are you looking, lol

tiny dew
#

I'm searching the BuildTools folder, it's what a couple people recommended cos I find searching the patching system confusing

#

I've built Spigot 1.19.4 using BuildTools, so as far as I understand everything in Minecraft 1.19.4 should show in there, but clearly not 😕

minor summit
#

everything that is patched will be under the regular spigot sources

#

everything that is untouched is in the work folder

tiny dew
#

Yep, and I'm just searching the entire BuildTools folder so theoretically I should find it whether it's patched or not

#

Ooook I see why it didn't now. I've been filtering by **.java, but the unpatched files are .class

#

Nevermind, still can't find it

minor summit
#

just clone paper lol

tiny dew
#

Found it, was still searching CommandPlace lol

tiny dew
minor summit
#

you apply patches and it generates sources

tiny dew
#

I don't know how to apply patches myself though lol, that's why I'm just searching BuildTools

minor summit
#

./gradlew applyPatches

tiny dew
#

Ok that's fair enough... I remember asking elsewhere and they made it seem a lot more complicated

minor summit
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tiny dew
#

Well I think I've figured out how it works, but this is gonna require a lot of NMS and I've only ever touched NMS once lol. Oh well, I'll see if I can figure it out from here. Thanks!

uh, in theory, is it possible to listen for the inventory open event, assuming I open the menu of another plugin, like auction house or something, am I able to listen to the event, scan the items in it, catch whatever info I want from them, cancel the opening of that inventory and open a new one flawlessly?

listen to that event and check if the names are equal

and then do whatever u want

I need help from somebody experienced.
I am just getting into server plugin development and I have come to two choices:
Learning to develop Spigot plugins, or learning to develop Paper plugins.
From my understanding, Spigot plugins work on Paper, which is the server software I use anyway.
What are the differences between developing with Spigot and Paper?
Do you have an opinion on which is better to learn?
Much appreciated!

learn java first though, if you dont know it yet

i fixed that and now getting this issue:

[19:55:35 WARN]: java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class java.util.List (java.lang.String and java.util.List are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

dense drift
#

Dont do unchecked casts, always add an if (variable instanceof Type) before casting variable to Type. This is the same issue as before, you are casting a single String to a List.

dusky harness

You probably shouldn't be casting at all

Does anyone have a ts project that consist of two/more modules (e.g. backend & frontend) and another module for common types?
I try to make a project with 3 modules backend frontend and shared-types, and I want to import shared-types to the other 2 modules without publishing it somewhere (on npm for example).
I'm kinda lost on this tsconfig file 😵

This is what I've tried
https://i.imgur.com/0tIZFyE.png

// shared-types/src/javadocHistory.ts
export interface ClassMember {
    name: string,
    parameters: string[]
}```
index.d.ts is just `export * from './src/javadocHistory'`
```json
// shared-types/tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2022",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "declaration": true,
    "outDir": "dist",
    "rootDir": "src"
  },
  "include": ["src"]
}```
```json
// backend/package.json
  "dependencies": {
    "shared-types": "file:../shared-types"
  }```
And when I try `import { ClassMember } from 'shared-types';` I get `Can not find module 'shared-types' or its corresponding type declarations`

What is the standard way to deserialize complex config.yml files? Should I just do it manually, should I use ConfigurationSerializable or should I use another library such as Jackson? All those methods just seem "messy". The structure I have right now (but I will be adding a lot more) is below. I wouldn't want "timer" or "event_preview" to be their own object (e.g: timer.event_preview.scope would just be RandomEventsConfig.eventPreviewScope)

teleport_search_radius: short
timer:
  location: RandomEventTimerLocation
  event_preview:
    in_advance: short
    scope: RandomEventScope
defaults: # RandomEventsGameConfig
  delay: short
  drops_seed: long
  display_lore: boolean
  require_learning: boolean
  share_scope: RandomEventScope
  probability_preset: ProbabilityPreset # Found from probability_presets
probability_presets: # Map<String,ProbabilityPreset>
  default: # an example key, ProbabilityPreset
    eventtype: Map<RandomEventType,Short>
    blocks: Map<Material,Short>
    items: Map<Material,Short>
    entities: Map<EntityType,Short>
    effects: Map<PotionEffectType,Short>```

I personally use Configurate because I prefer yaml (public plugins, sadly)

#

with configurate you need objects, and it is similar to what you have described there

tiny dew
#

I prefer YAML as well, but Jackson supports YAML and I've used it before (for a non-Minecraft-related project) so if I were to use another library I'd probably go for that one 😛

minor summit
#

jackson is bae

tiny dew
#

I generally don't like libraries which are based so much on annotations and reflection (idrk why, it just seems un-Java-like), but Jackson is definitely very clean so I do quite like it

minor summit
#

i mean you can totally make your own de/serializers with jackson

#

but more often than not it's not needed and you're wasting time on something that is not what you should be spending it on

tiny dew
#

Ye, but just cos I don't particularly like it, doesn't mean I'm gonna make it 100x more difficult for myself (and make my code a lot less maintainable) just to avoid it

#

I mean, keeping it maintainable is the whole reason I'm asking what the standard is lol. Cos if most people do it one way, it makes it a lot less maintainable if I choose to do it some other non-standard way

minor summit
#

personally i would just use jackson

#

or configurate but i think you need to shade and relocate your own version of snakeyaml, I believe it uses a different version than the one the server ships

#

the bukkit config api is very, very barebones

dense drift
#

I swear, can you even use it to create complex config objects? I've tried to use ConfigSerializable once or getItemStack and it didn't work lol

I need some BASH help.

I have a few apps and I've created a start.sh script for each. The apps and their start script locations follow this pattern: ~/apps/<app-name>/.

I also have an start.sh script in ~/apps/ and I've made that script run on startup. What that script is meant to do is open a new detached screen, cd into each app's directory and run the start script from there.

This is the current start.sh script:

#!/bin/bash

# Function to create a new detached screen and run a bash script in it
function create_and_run_screen {
    screen -dmS $1 bash -c "cd $2 && $3"
}

# Create a new screen and run the Minecraft server startup script in it
create_and_run_screen "minecraft" "~/apps/minecraft/" "start.sh"

This doesn't work though. Mostly because of the cd command. The screen instantly terminates.
The reason I want to cd into the app's directory first is because Minecraft seems to check for the EULA file in the directory that the startup script was ran in.

Anyone know if it is possible to open a new detached screen, cd into a directory inside that screen and than run a bash script in there?

minor summit

Well, I'm setting up Jackson YAML, but I've just discovered that for some reason PotionEffectType isn't an enum (???) so Jackson can't deserialize it by default. Is there a way to get Jackson to treat it like an Enum or will I need to write my own deserializer for it?

# tiny dew What is the standard way to deserialize complex config.yml files? Should I just ...

Hm, nearly got it all working with Jackson, but came upon one hurdle which I'm absolutely clueless how to solve. defaults.probability_preset references a ProbabilityPreset which is to be defined in probability_presets so the object needs to be created by probability_presets then referenced by defaults.probability_preset. Anyone with experience with Jackson have any ideas how I could go about solving this?

#

I've seen a few similar problems where the solution is JsonIdentityInfo, but that only works if the identifying value is a field, so the structure would have to be```yml
probability_presets: # List<ProbabilityPreset>

  • name: String
    eventtype: Map<RandomEventType,Short>

    ...instead ofyml

probability_presets: # Map<String,ProbabilityPreset>
default:
eventtype: Map<RandomEventType,Short>

                return;

            this.inGround = false;
            this.motX *= (double) (this.random.nextFloat() * 0.2F);
            this.motY *= (double) (this.random.nextFloat() * 0.2F);
            this.motZ *= (double) (this.random.nextFloat() * 0.2F);
            this.i = 0;
            this.at = 0;

        Vec3D vec3d = Vec3D.a(this.locX, this.locY, this.locZ);
        Vec3D vec3d1 = Vec3D.a(this.locX + this.motX, this.locY + this.motY, this.locZ + this.motZ);
        MovingObjectPosition movingobjectposition = this.world.a(vec3d, vec3d1);

        vec3d = Vec3D.a(this.locX, this.locY, this.locZ);

        }
#

so this is what i found so far how ever that math calculation doesnt seem to be what im looking for

#

MovngObject is an entity

#

now the problem here is that i dont see where it checks for example if it meta data like punch or something

#

which makes me assume im not in right place

#

i went thru snowballentity class

#

its superclass

#

and few other classes

#

anyone can give me the right path or the mc default values of kb because for snowball/eggs im pretty sure its static

#

maybe ill try to debug it can be easier to return the possible values

#

ill just get dir of the projectile and see what it applies to an entity on hit

tiny dew
#

EntitySnowball has onHitEntity which overrides a method defined in IProjectile (EntityProjectile and EntityProjectileThrowable do not override it). It calls super.onHitEntity but EntitySnowball's definition for onHitEntity is blank so this can be safely ignored. It then callls entity.hurt(this.damageSources().thrown(this, this.getOwner()), (float) i); where i is 0 for players (to not deal damage). Now, there are many relevant definitions for Entity.hurt but the only one which calls Entity.knockback is EntityLiving.hurt which calls it with these valuesjava double d0 = entity1.getX() - this.getX(); double d1; for (d1 = entity1.getZ() - this.getZ(); d0 * d0 + d1 * d1 < 1.0E-4D; d1 = (Math.random() - Math.random()) * 0.01D) { d0 = (Math.random() - Math.random()) * 0.01D; } this.knockback(0.4000000059604645D, d0, d1);where entity1 is the snowball. Now I honestly have no idea what that math is doing, but it doesn't call any other functions besides Math.random() and to get positions so I believe this should be what you need. You could either copy that math or you could even just use NMS to call Player.hurt yourself where the DamageSource is from any (might as well just use a Snowball since some other entities such as EntityHuman and EntityWolf have special behaviour) entity (you won't need to actually spawn it) in the opposite direction of where you want the knockback to go and f is 0 (to not deal damage)

hey, does anyone know how I could get an ItemStack from a placed block's material and data?

tiny dew
astral rivet
#

what about double slabs? Also, I'm on 1.8, I forgot to mention

tiny dew
#

Oh so are you meaning the block drops?

#

Technically double slabs are their own item type iirc

astral rivet
#

unfortunately, no, it doesn't give me anything if I add the item stack to my inventory

#

and block drops won't work too because I actually need the block.

#

I would get diamonds from diamond ores for

#

I think I have to make special cases for every block, which I don't want to do

tiny dew
#

Actually, I think on 1.8 it uses damage values for stuff like that. You'll need to set the ItemStack's damage to the same as the block

astral rivet
#

it's more complicated than that. I'm aware of the damage value but that won't work either for the double slabs

#

also, I also have to handle the data because of some block's metadata

#

leaves have two booleans stored in the data value and when I try to turn them into ItemStacks, they end up having wrong damage values

#

idk maybe I'm complicating things and/or I don't fully understand how things work but I know for sure I'm stuck

tiny dew
#

You could try java ItemStack itemstack = new ItemStack(block.getType(), 1); itemstack.setItemMeta(block.getData());block.getData() is deprecated but if you're on 1.8 I don't think it should be a problem

astral rivet
#

I don't think setItemMeta accepts byte but hold on

#

seems it doesn't

tiny dew
#

Oh sorry ye try itemstack.setData(new MaterialData(block.getType(), block.getData()))

#

Honestly just assumed Block.getData was a MaterialData lol, strange that you have to convert it yourself

astral rivet
#

minecraft 1.8 haha

dense drift
#

Block.getData returns BlockData though

tiny dew
#

You're thinking of Block.getBlockData

astral rivet
#

for 1.8 it doesn't

dense drift

yeah that math is no sense math i dont think it was written by human probably the obf made it that way

tiny dew

I only recently figured out how to read NMS myself so thought I should pass it on loll

sonic nebula
#

im familier with the topic how ever i still often get lost

#

ii assume this is the projectile location correc?

#

correct*

#

this.getX(); and etc

astral rivet
tiny dew
#

For me, the main problem was I didn't understand the naming scheme so it wasn't clear to me what was Spigot, CraftBukkit or NMS

astral rivet
#

actually I think it does but the damage value is 0

tiny dew
sonic nebula
#

i see

#

like the obsf made to the game didnt really help it out just made moding community suffer

sonic nebula
#

just write a quick method to get craftbukkit info of block when intteracting with it

#

and use it later

#

not loc but the ID and damage of it

tiny dew
#

Like if you put a stone slab on top of another stone slab, you don't get a stone block you actually get a "double slab" block, which I thought could be given as an item (at the very least, one of those purple/black ones) but apparently not

sonic nebula
tiny dew

Ye they're using 1.8

sonic nebula

which dont exist in game its why they are displayed that way

#

im also on 1.8 💀

tiny dew
#

Oh lol

astral rivet
#

they exist actually

sonic nebula
#

what are those legacy leaves?

tiny dew
#

I play 1.8 client but don't think I've ever tried to develop for 1.8 (I would just use Via if needsbe) so

sonic nebula
#

u probably cant summon them via bukkit api

sonic nebula
tiny dew
#

Bruh, I'm curious why

sonic nebula
#

how ever spigot api is shit in many ways tooo tbh

#

so nms ftw

sonic nebula
#

also i hate some of new version features and mechanics of movement and etc on client side

#

and many others do

#

ofc i can disable and make pvp simillar but movement on clientside isnt changable

tiny dew
#

But surely you could just use Via to use a more up-to-date server and plugin while only allowing 1.8 clients to connect

sonic nebula
#

with 3D Models

tiny dew
#

hm?

sonic nebula
#

diff java version

#

dont allow same texturepack to work on those diff versions

#

so people wont be able to see the guns and custom entities correctly

tiny dew
#

But if it's 1.8 clients, you could still make the texture pack for 1.8, just make the plugin and run the server on a newer (more safe/secure/performantish) version

sonic nebula
#

i forked spigot and changed alot of things... so what u suggest is run an newer version server and writing everything for 1.8

#

i have heard of new server software that can use cpu completely

tiny dew
#

Well, I'm suggesting that you could have done that before developing everything already lol

sonic nebula
#

not single theard which sounds nuts to me like OP

It's still in development though

# sonic nebula diff API ?

It uses Paper API, which is currently a fork of Spigot/Bukkit but they apparently plan on hard-forking soon

sonic nebula
#

eh i hope they write a completely new API

tiny dew
#

Same lol

sonic nebula
#

i had a lot of problems for example with SnakeYAML

#

so i wrote my own file system

#

i barely use bukkit AP

#

API in 1.8 it has so many problems

astral rivet
#

because I got the damage value from the slab's data

tiny dew
sonic nebula
#

place iit now

tiny dew
sonic nebula
#

it probably doesnt have texturepack in game

astral rivet
tiny dew
#

It's so nostalgic seeing that honestly

astral rivet
#

I mean it's not working

sonic nebula
#

i did something simillar in the past

#

like 2 years ago

astral rivet
#

it doesn't

tiny dew
#

I remember playing on a creative plots server like 6 years ago and that stuff became the currency for skulls cos nobody knew how to get either of them lol

sonic nebula
#

within stoneslabs

astral rivet
#

it's supposed to be spruce wood slab

#

but it's oak because the damage is messed up

sonic nebula
#

u got ID via bukkit API?

#

it should be fine

#

just write method now to set block to see if it works

#

and ofc make sure to apply damage data towards it

astral rivet
#

I just said I'm already doing that

#

the block id is okay, the damage isn't

#

the wood variation is in the item damage/block data

tiny dew
#

And I'm guessing you are setting the damage right? It's just not applying?

sonic nebula
#

send ur code

#

a snipt

#

do u location.getBlock().setData(?DATA?);

astral rivet
# 
switch (block.getType()) {
                case DOUBLE_STEP:
                    player.getInventory().addItems(new ItemStack(Material.STEP, 2, block.getData()));
                    break;
...
merry knoll
#

set the data of the placed block

#

on place

dense drift
#

dont add the same addItems method for each case

sonic nebula
#

(byte)

dense drift
#

you can keep a Map<Material, ItemStack> or whatever

sonic nebula
#

and later just on write a check on blockPlaceEvent

#

because my code works 100% and it used to put different type of spawners

#

which is simillar goal

astral rivet
#

block.getData() also has the slab's metadata (placement, either top or bottom) which the ItemStack doesn't handle

sonic nebula
#

yeah so just do what i told ya

astral rivet
#

do I have to make special cases for every block so I can extract the correct damage?

sonic nebula
#

no

astral rivet
sonic nebula
#

u use

#

nms compunds

#

to store the data

#

and no need switch case on place u check if exists

#

if does u modify the block

#

smart

#

😉

astral rivet
#

???

sonic nebula
#

store on the itmestack the damage byte and type

#

and on place just change it according to data

tight junco
#

what version is this on

sonic nebula
#

legacy

#

u too young lad

astral rivet
#

1.8

sonic nebula
#

xd

tight junco
#

ah

#

was wondering why the suggestion was turbo complicated

sonic nebula
astral rivet
#

1.8 is complicated

sonic nebula
#

1.8 is not

#

alex i code for older versions even

#

like 1.2.5

#

pretty sure 90% of devs here wont be able to write a plugin for that version

#

no guides / wikis

tight junco
#

why is this being treated as a flex

sonic nebula
#

nah its not flex its about he saying 1.8 complicated

astral rivet
#

because it is

sonic nebula
#

nah its not just poor API

tight junco
#

Making stuff in 1.8 is a lot more complicated than it is in later versions

astral rivet
sonic nebula
#

Ori its known

#

the API is easier in newer versions

tight junco
#

yes

sonic nebula
#

specially for ur goal

#

just settings a block with an damage it exists

merry knoll
astral rivet
sonic nebula
#

its not like making custom entity and making custom goals and pathfinder towards it

#

its complicated no API for it

#

but what u want to do API is here to help u no need for gibrish nms

#

i told u what is best to do Aki also suggest it in first place

#

listen to block place event

astral rivet
#

and the item icon wouldn't be fixed

sonic nebula
#

if block != AIR

#

solved

#

if not Y1 + and set there and remove 1 item from player inventory

#

also make it support liquids and other non AIR blocks that allows player to put blocks via it

astral rivet
sonic nebula
#

if the block u place isnt AIR if its slab it will return false

#

so event wll do other nessecary checks

#

to check if liquid or other scenarios that can happen

#

and +Y if its an slab or whatt ever

astral rivet
#

thanks, you are very helpful

sonic nebula
#

there many ways to do it from here

#

your welcome alex ❤️

Oh, then I suppose you don't!

#

If you want a web based one, I have heard good things about Portainer, but imo the cli is pretty solid for Docker

broken elbow
#

Yeah. I'm just going to stick with cli. My understanding is that Destkop just uses cli in the back either way?

I'll install compose as well then

when docker crash course event @dusty frost 🥺

dusty frost

if y'all are available

hazy nimbus
#

Since when does docker desktop support Linux?

#

Docker Desktop on Linux runs a Virtual Machine (VM) so creates and uses a custom docker context desktop-linux on startup.

This means images and containers deployed on the Linux Docker Engine (before installation) are not available in Docker Desktop for Linux.

Oh god, this is so dumb

#

Just why

Hey, every time I run a command I set up using ACF (a framework for commands) I get a weird error. Here's the command that throws the error ```java

@Subcommand("%inventory")
@CommandPermission("slimeframe.anyone.inventory")
@Description("Show your relic inventory")
public void showRelicInventory(CommandSender sender) {
if (!(sender instanceof Player p)) return;
RelicInventory relicInventory = relicMan.getRelicInventory(p);
Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(plugin, relicInventory::open);
}

 and here is the error thrown: ```console
[11:45:53 ERROR]: [SlimeFrame] [ACF] Exception in command: slimeframe relics 
[11:45:53 ERROR]: [SlimeFrame] [ACF] net.minecraft.server.CancelledPacketHandleException```

Probably some other plugins doing weird stuff

Does anyone know how I can decrease the minimum height requirement for fall damage using spigot api?

#

I made a custom weapon that has an ability that launches the player into the air and performs an AOE attack upon landing. The fall event is used to check if the player has landed and metadata is used to differentiate between weapons/abilities. However, if the player doesn’t receive fall damage after using the ability, the metadata remains and the ability doesn’t occur until the player receives fall damage from another source

leaden sinew
zenith fog
#

instead of using fall event?

leaden sinew
#

You would still use fall event to cancel the damage, you would use the timer to remove the metadata

zenith fog
#

how would it cancel the damage if it needs to like detect fall damage first

tight junco
#

I will note there is LivingEntity#fallDistance

zenith fog
leaden sinew
#

Yeah probably

#

And another delay after detecting landing so the metadata is still there when the fall event is called

zenith fog
#

alr i'll try that thanks

Shouldn't isSolid already account for that?

I want to generate an .exe for my Kotlin console application (non-modular) that includes the application .jar and the Java Runtime (17), but seems that I can't do that because I'm too stupid. This is what I've attempted so far:

  • Use org.beryx.runtime Gradle plugin to generate an .exe.
    • This one didn't work at all, the final program does run, and it does create a Java runtime based on the modules that you specify, but they are placed separated in a folder, where a copy of your application .jar is located, and the .exe is just a bootstrap for executing the .jar with the Java Runtime that is located nearby.
  • Use edu.sc.seis.launch4j Gradle plugin to generate an .exe.
    • This one kinda worked because it was the closest to the "single file" concept that I was looking for, but the final "binary" does not include the java runtime at all, which means the user still has to install the Java runtime.

I want a solution that can be automated and executed in an CI/CD environment like GitHub Actions, I needn't a GUI-based application to do this conversion to me, hence why a Gradle-based approach would be prefered. What options do I have to perform the conversion of (Java Runtime + Java Console Application) into a single binary file that bootstraps itself with the bundled Java Runtime (that is included inside it)?

broken elbow
robust flower
#

org.beryx.runtime does use jpackage, and the behavior that I observed is what I described, the Java Runtime in a folder, and the application .jar sitting next to it. I also was able to generate a installer with it, but I don't want or need a installer (which btw jpackage is great for those cases). Is jpackage able to create this "embedded binary" that I just described?

minor summit
#

no

#

it either creates an app image which is just the runtime + the modules, with an exe launcher but the jvm runtime is there as it always is; or it creates an installer which just installs the app image in the system

#

but it does not create a single executable that just runs

robust flower
#

So, do you know a way of doing what I described, or that is just not possible?

#

I'm asking because other Languages like Python can do that, and it's pretty easy btw, why can't java have something like that too? 😢

lyric gyro
#

Hi im creating a kbffa plugin and i want to store the users deaths/kills in placeholders. how can i do this ( i setup the death event already)

broken elbow
#

I'm sorry. What do you mean by "store death/kills in placeholders"? what placeholders are you talking about? Do you maybe mean to ask "how to add PlaceholderAPI placeholders that display those stats?"?

minor summit
#

why do you need it as a single executable anyway?

#

installers are pretty standard stuff

robust flower
#

Mainly for portability purposes, I love the concept of single file execution, especially for CLI tools like this one

broken elbow
#

I mean you can always just have 1 single directory that can be zipped and moved

#

Just don't save shit to appdata or any other directory. easy

minor summit
#

yeah, tons of installable tools, their portable version is usually just a zip file with what the installer installs, so it's in its tiny lil directory

#

i feel like any other solution to put everything in a single exe is just complicating it, like making a bootstrap in an executable that zips the whole runtime, but then you have another language that needs to be able to do that

#

alternatively, don't use the jvm? Shrug if it's for a simple CLI app that you want to keep simple then surely you don't really need the whole jvm

#

alternatively, kotlin/native but I haven't heard good things about it pepelaugh

icy shadow
#

yea could always graal it for something simple

#

the jvm isnt great for cli's anyway bc startup times

dusky harness
#

Forgot the name tho

#

Graalvm image something

#

Although it doesn't work for everything

#

i do the same in all my expansions, so i have no clue what it would be cat_cry

#

idk what i did, but happenst the same lol

is it an expansion in plugins/placeholderapi/expansions? or is it one you register from within a plugin?

no no, its an expansion extending PlaceholderExpansion

it was:

i'm used to use true in all my plugins

Ah yes

If you keep getting the identifier in use error, downgrade to 2.11.2 or build what I sent

i'm sure i won't get more, i checked the whole papi code related to registration

nimble vale
#

does anybody have ever tried and achieved to run a jar file in github actions

dense drift
#

run?

nimble vale
#

like java -jar as a shell command

#

i know the idea is not ideal

dense drift
nimble vale
#

i setup the java project in another repo

#

so thats seems convenient but make things hard for developing this

river solstice
#

you just wanna build it or actually run it

#

because it won't run on it

nimble vale
#

i achieved to build and upload the artifact

#

and then downloaded the artifact from that repo

#

but couldn't achived to run it

dense drift
#

so you depend on another project that is hosted on a different repo and you need it for the second project?

nimble vale
#

it says Error: Could not find or load main class but the same repo same command works perfectly on local

#

yeah actually

dense drift
#

can you not publish the first one to a maven repo first?

nimble vale
#

i think i can but the second project is just a workspace with files and folders not a java project

#

i may made a design mistake separating the java project and workspace

#

but i got so close to make it work

dense drift
#

what would you accomplish by running the workspace on gh actions?

river solstice
nimble vale
#

so i have a project #1

  • java applicaton that merges different packs and some other stuff
    and project #2
  • just contains resourcepacks and wanted gh actions to run the merger application in here and afterwards use optimizing packs and uploading to drive..
#

that was the idea behind it

dense drift
#

assuming you can clone a repo with gh actions, can you not clone the workspace and instead of building the app, you start the main class?

  • clone the repo to a folder, e.g. workspace
  • run the main class of the program
  • upload the results of the program to drive
nimble vale
#

maybe i can just clone it temporarily inside the gh actions

#

fetching updates does not seems convenient

#

great idea

dense drift
#

also, make sure there is an action that lets you upload stuff to drive 🤣

nimble vale
#

yeah i checked that

#

actually there is

nimble vale
#

thanks did it

took a while to figure out

# thin tendon GPT4 is actually pretty good 😄

as emily said gpt or those bots are bullshit generators they will generate non working code with non existing functions , beside writing u simple math or giiving u information from wiki it wont help u alot its basically liike google search that writes u what it finds from different places

#

i would suggest starting from Java as homework do some simple console apps and math tasks also i would reccomend starting from here https://www.w3schools.com/java/ start by java tutorial later at the same time exprience things using spigot API do simple tasks like a command that adds things to a List (like shopping list) via command and a command that returns a random thing from list , later move forward to Listeners and for example change block on break using if statements or switch case

#

like those are really simple things but u would learn alot from it

#

Also make sure you do Java Constructors between classes and regisiter events and commands correctly

#

have fun

#

and later u can move to something move advanced like Reletionships and start storing things via Yaml and later even move to an Database .

which is a simple math

i asked the gpt to quickly do a 3D Plane calculation

#

it provoide me some bullshit

that isnt correct even

so not sure it can give u some advice bullshit

#

or some info from google

#

only old people think chatGPT is amazng

so im still new to spigots api and trying to wrap my head around some java, but what would be the easiest/best way i can pass material from a config file to be used as an item from itemstack if that makes sense im not sure im asking it right, basically i want to have a configurable item in a config file and to be added into some code and im not sure how i could do that.

For selecting between different classes (stuff like mages, warriors and etc)

And each clears your inventory and gives you a sorta kit

so i assume u use sperate class for every class and implement createInventory settings player inventory?
