development

[merry knoll]

so you just go

artifacts.getItem(key)

and not care

[dense galleon]

Are you talking about the ArtifactItem.build() method?

[merry knoll]

yes

i would also hand that away to the artifacts manager or w.e. class you name it

[dense galleon]

w.e.?

[merry knoll]

whatever*

[dense galleon]

Ah sorry haha

[dense galleon]

AKA the class with the register method and registry map

[merry knoll]

facade all that away to a nice api and you good i think

ArtifactsAPI.register(artifactobj)
ArtifactsAPI.getClone(key)

[dense galleon]

Okay so the objective is to do so that all my plugins interact with each other ONLY through classes found in my api package?

[merry knoll]

ye it also makes it easier on you as well

in case you need to change implementation in the future

[dense galleon]

How does that differ though if I have ArtifactsAPI.getItem() instead of Artifacts.getItem()?

[merry knoll]

anything that depends on artifacts then only need to know about

a) Artifact objects themselves

b) API to get and register

anything else is abstracted away

[dense galleon]

I get that it's all for "good practice"

But what are the actual advantages about that

Like yeah it's defo cleaner

[merry knoll]

for example, in the future minecraft or spigot changes

the way model data works

you do not need to change everything then in a case where its abstracted like this

or lets say

you need this code to work concurrently in the future

you just change how it works in the background

and your plugin1 plugin2

does not need to change

[dense galleon]

Okay I get this, since often it happens that I need to rebuild a lot of my plugins cause I changed a small thing in one of my classes

[merry knoll]

another big advantage thats not really prevelant in spigot is that you can unit test

way easier when you use interfaces

but unit testing in mc is effectively non existant

except mockbukkit

[dense galleon]

The api package I guess should have pretty much no data of its own then

Hence it is usually all interfaces

[merry knoll]

yes, its just a contract

that says hey i will give you x if you call y

[dense galleon]

Okay this has been very helpful can't lie

Though the hardest part of all this now is naming the API classes haha

ArtifactItemAPI doesn't seem like a good name

[merry knoll]

it isnt

artifact factory is though since thats lowkey what you are doing

[dense galleon]

what about the static isArtifact() method found in ArtifactItem, I don't feel like that fits in the factory class much

even just based on the name

I'd normally delegate a static method like that in a ArtifactUtil class or something

[merry knoll]

yeaah, its probably a util type deal

[dense galleon]

Then whenever I want some plugin to create a new artifact, I should:

1. Create a new NamespacedKey static instance for that artifact
2. Register it in my ArtifactRegistry class

[hoary scarab]

I listen to incoming packets via ChannelPipeline.addBefore("packet_handler", player.getUniqueId().toString(), getHandler())
Do I have to remove it when the player leaves?
And why does it error when I just use a string, "injector" for example?
yapperyapps lost connection: Internal Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid UUID string: injector

[minor summit]

the pipeline is basically discarded when the player is disconnected so you don't need to remove it

as for the other thing, it just sounds like someone is trying to parse the string as a uuid? can't really say anything else without the stack trace

[hoary scarab]

the pipeline is basically discarded when the player is disconnected so you don't need to remove it
Thought so just wanted to make sure.

As for the stacktrace. There is none listed on that actual error but the errors above it are from via version. I'm checking now to see if It occurs when the client and server version match. Also removing via version.

Yeap occurs without viaversion and when server/client version match.

No stack trace just lost connection with that error.

Even if I delay the method it will let me in the server but then kick me with that error when the method is ran.

[hoary scarab]

Hmmm looks like I can't even put a null handler.
Yet if I loop through the names in the pipeline DefaultChannelPipeline$TailContext#0 returns null...

[shell moon]

using canvas (html element), how to draw an image (changed with a solid color) something like a shadow (same shape)

[worn jasper]

I think I know the answer to this but would it be wise to do http requests on the main thread if the response times are less than 100ms? It blocking it would be intended in a way. Since it could get hacky.

XY Problem: I am wondering the best way to cancel a message the player sent depending on what the http request says.

[river solstice]

no it's not wise

[dusty frost]

Doesn't Paper have an AsyncPlayerChatEvent for exactly this reason?

[worn jasper]

Hell I forgot that existed, so if I use this event, do I need to still use the scheduler and run my code async or is it already in an async thread?

[river solstice]

im pretty sure the event itself is async (or not) (event.isAsynchronous) , your listener is not automatically async

though for figuring it out I think you can use Bukkit.isPrimaryThread() in your listener

[merry knoll]

you will block the chat thread AFAIK

[sterile hinge]

yeah chat thread is separate

[merry knoll]

so ideally if you will do a heavy operation, you want to move to another thread

[worn jasper]

The thing is, If I execute it async on another thread, can I then cancel the AsyncPlayerChatEvent? Since the message may have already been sent before that...

[dusky harness]

If it's <100ms it shouldn't be too noticeable

[river solstice]

say if you get 5 consecutive messages in a span of 10ms, then what

[worn jasper]

Exactly, but doing it in a totally different thread can also cause issues :/, what if it somehow takes longer than 100ms, it would block the whole thread. And if I do it in another new thread, I can't really cancel the event.

What I could in theory do is canceling and triggering afterwards again

[river solstice]

well that's probably your only hope

[worn jasper]

Hell, the worse pain of it all is having to support 1.8 😭

I now understand @rugged bane...

[river solstice]

cancel all the messages from the event,
store the message in a stack,
create a scheduler that pops the message and processes it,
pass -> send
fail -> continue

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[worn jasper]

that could work, but sending would have to be with Player#chat method since I want to support chat plugins too

[dusky harness]

I wouldn't use a scheduler
Use like an executorservice with a 4 thread pool or smth

[worn jasper]

I have never used that...

[dusky harness]

So that you can avoid the delay of having to run it on ticks

[worn jasper]

what even would be the benefits of not using a scheduler

[rugged bane]

Yup, it's a nightmare..

[worn jasper]

oh

[worn jasper]

I swear supporting 1.8 is stupid but if you don't do it you lose both clients and people get angry 😭

[dusky harness]

🥲

[worn jasper]

Will have to look into this then, wonder if charlie uses something similar

since Analyse does a bunch of http requests

although in theory, my project gonna do WAY more lmao

[dusky harness]

If the http server is across the world or smth it'll take over 100ms though

[rugged bane]

I think supporting latest only is great when it's non commercialised

[rugged bane]

Yeah we do a fuck ton of requests, feel free to source dive https://github.com/track/plugin/blob/main/sdk/src/main/java/io/tebex/analytics/sdk/SDK.java

[dusky harness]

In Charlie's case there's no canceling chat tho right?

[worn jasper]

the real-time option is going to be available only on the best plan since it uses a bunch of resources but in theory, I hope to one day be able to do some load balancing + have it connect to the nearest api server. I would assume charlie does not have this since latency isn't that important in analyse.

[worn jasper]

no, cause he doesn't really mess with chat (I think)

[dusky harness]

Oh

[merry knoll]

idk if it got addressed but cancel the event then resend once your operation resolves

[merry knoll]

or not (aka cancel )

[worn jasper]

The standard option is where it only requests every so often and sends a bulk of messages instead of a single one which is what real-time does.
In this case, chat is not canceled.

[worn jasper]

I would just use Player#chat method

[merry knoll]

i didnt read the rest of the convo so if it got solved already just ignore me

[dusky harness]

Would that work with chat plugins?

And make sure to not make it ca your own event

And have that on loop

Infinitely

[worn jasper]

it triggers AsyncPlayerChatEvent, only difference is that it's not async.

I would listen to the event, and only let through events that are async

since Player#chat is not async, it's fine

[dusky harness]

Oh ic

[worn jasper]

it wouldn't trigger a loop

[dusky harness]

I thought async event was always async but ig not... Noted for future coding lol

[grand island]

you get paid?

[worn jasper]

The constructor provides a boolean to indicate if the event was fired synchronously or asynchronously. When asynchronous, this event can be called from any thread, sans the main thread, and has limited access to the API.

If a player is the direct cause of this event by an incoming packet, this event will be asynchronous. If a plugin triggers this event by compelling a player to chat, this event will be synchronous.```

[worn jasper]

I am building a SaaS, so you would assume yes.

[merry knoll]

you can probably call it from another thread to make it fire async

would need to see its implementation though

[worn jasper]

Yeah but I don't want it to be async, cause that would cause a looping xD

it still triggers AsyncPlayerChatEvent, async or not.

[dusky harness]

Tbf u can have like a boolean to prevent it

True on the line before player#hat, then false after

Thanks autocorrect

[worn jasper]

difference is that chat plugins just listen to it and don't care about async or sync, and I will filter it to only listen to async using isAsynchronous()

so chat plugins would continue to work.

We will see how it goes, I am planning things out, making a prototype too first.
Then once my schedule clears out, I will start developing the api, testing it, website, etc.

Gonna have to check how I will do it, gonna take some inspiration off analyse 👀

[rugged bane]

Feel free, one of the beauties of Open Source 😄 I've become a big fan of doing such

Helps a lot when you can dig through and see how its done

Our http stuff is both lightweight and very performant

[worn jasper]

I mean't backend of analyse xD (networks, servers, etc) I can take some guesses by looking at the dashboard xD

I have some ideas of making it register a server which them you can apply a group/platform, and the group is what the plan is for.

You will be able to buy different plans for each group/platform

[worn jasper]

Also, yes, was planning on using what you use, looking if I will use gson or not, since there are faster json options.

[rugged bane]

I’d say use Gson, only change if you face issues. Don’t prematurely optimise

[rugged bane]

Haha that’s our black magic, our queries are huge 😂

[worn jasper]

I bet... I am getting assistance from my teachers to structure the database.

[rugged bane]

What type of project are you doing

[worn jasper]

The SaaS I spoke with you about a few months ago, I am getting back to work on it soon.

[rugged bane]

Ahh I might have to hunt our DMs, my minds all over right now 😂

[hoary scarab]

Any other ideas regarding this?

I don't want to use the UUID incase other plugins do the same. Just can't figure out why this error is occurring.

[worn jasper]

Never worked with pipelines or whatever so... no idea

[grand island]

Are you parsing uuids somewhere?

[hoary scarab]

Its weird cause often I see player name being used. And all of the names in the pipeline currently aren't UUIDs

[hoary scarab]

nope

[minor summit]

what does your channel handler do? i guess it would be good to see it

because that is certainly not a behaviour that i can reproduce in a clean environment

[hoary scarab]

Issue isn't the handler though... I can do pipeline.addBefore("packet_handler", "injector", new ChannelDuplexHandler()) and it would still kick the player with that error.

[lusty smelt]

Cannot execute command 'gm' in plugin Essentials v2.21.0-dev+67-622c814 - plugin is disabled. how is this possible=

Can somebody help me with it?

[shell moon]

its not enabled

[lusty smelt]

How to enabled it sir?

[shell moon]

install it correctly

wait

why asking in #development?

[lusty smelt]

I didnt know where to ask im sorry.

[shell moon]

#general-plugins i guess

[lusty smelt]

Thanks 🙂

[hoary scarab]

Yeah even on a fresh server with only my plugin it still errors on join.

[minor summit]

UUID.fromString(context.name())

uhhhh

yeah that isn't going to work unless the handler name is a uuid string xD

[hoary scarab]

sigh

So how are other names added then?

[minor summit]

just adding a name?

pipeline.addLast("foo", new MyHandler())?

they just don't take that string and try to get it as a uuid

[hoary scarab]

Could but to listen to packets it has to be before packet_handler.

[minor summit]

sure?

the issue is that you are using that handler name as a uuid

not how or where you add the handler

[hoary scarab]

I might be misreading. What do you mean?

[minor summit]

that very first line is what is throwing the exception, context.name() will give you the name of the current handler basically, so if you do pipeline.addWhatever("my_handler", new MyChannelHandler()), then context.name() will give you "my_handler" back

but you are trying to read it as a UUID, which "injector" is not

[hoary scarab]

Son of a BITCH! 🤦

[minor summit]

lol

[hoary scarab]

Spent over 2 days on that.

Works. Thanks.
Now I gotta figure out why the meta data is apprently invalid. (According to via version)

[atomic trail]

Does anyone have an idea how an implemented dependency is missing methods at runtime?

[worn jasper]

not shaded?

[atomic trail]

I have the shadow plugin in the build.gradle.kts and I use implementation that should work right?

[worn jasper]

no... it's not just having the plugin that will make things magically work xD

you have to use shadowJar to build it AND you have to relocate the dependency(ies)

[atomic trail]

How does the relocating actually work? I've used it a few times but only when the original devs wrote a note that it should be relocated lol

This is my current build file https://paste.helpch.at/fuyetiyose.kotlin

So I relocate org.spongepowered.configurate-yaml if the method is in that module?

[river solstice]

well instead of your dependency being in your jar in
the.dependency.package
you can tell it to relocate to
your.package.the.dependency.package

[dense drift]

You relocate the package, which can be different from the name of the dependency

[atomic trail]

Is the naming specific? It's this commentsEnabled method here

I publish it as a local maven repository

[worn jasper]

btw configurate-yaml does not support comments.

[atomic trail]

It's a fork

That added it

[worn jasper]

ah

actually send me that

[atomic trail]

Lmao

https://github.com/Tim203/Configurate

It's failing a few tests that doesn't really matter, but the assemble task should be used and then it compiles

This works :)) relocate("org.spongepowered.configurate.yaml", "com.valdemarf.weaponabilities.yaml")

[river solstice]

Relocating is often required when one of the dependencies is susceptible to breaking changes in versions or to classpath pollution in a downstream project.

Basically, you dont want to have conflicts from different versions of the library in the same classpath.

[atomic trail]

So the dependency module got overriden? Which it doesn't now that I relocated it?

Ahhh it might be because paper jar already has a version of configurate at runtime, which it uses instead

[dusky harness]

btw just wanna mention that spigot, starting from 1.17, allows for downloading of maven central dependencies during server runtime

haven't really read the convo so I don't know if it applies here but

:)

[worn jasper]

Paper plugin loaders implement this way better....

and allow for non-maven repos too

[minor summit]

non central

all maven repos are maven repos lol

[worn jasper]

yes, meant non central

[spring crescent]

Does anyone have any advice on serializing player inventories player end chests and container contents? I need, specifically, whatever is in them at any given time. I need to be able to reliably serialize this data, save it to a database, and then later deserialize it.

It also needs to be 100% NBT friendly and retain all item data, wether custom or vanilla.

How can i make a kits menu in a kits menu? Because i have a gui if you do /kits. But i want to make gui for ranked, and members and tools. But it must be make a category

[worn jasper]

#general-plugins .....

[spring crescent]

Does the plugin.yml automatically handle permission nodes if I have the permissions defined there, or should I handle it in code with the Command executors, or both?

[dusky harness]

iirc it does handle permission nodes

[spring crescent]

Well that will simplify the crap out of some logic i have going on then xD

[lusty smelt]

Can somebody help me with CombatLogX
I have a problem when players are in Combat they still can use commands like /spawn etc.

[dusky harness]

note that this is a coding support channel - I'd recommend asking in their discord server

or #general-plugins

but asking in their discord server is probably best

[terse osprey]

Nobody respond to him for a few days and see if we can get $300+ out of him

[real cedar]

Hello, I am currently trying to create a placeholder for my money variable, so the users can use the eco system on other plugins like RealScoreboard or PlayerShops. How exactly can I do this now?

The main problem right now is to import the required package.
(import me.clip.placeholderapi.expansion.PlaceholderExpansion;)

[warm steppe]

how can i see if the component contains some string?
for exampl, in paper's AsyncChatEvent event
i guess that this is the only way? PlainTextComponentSerializer.plainText().serialize(textComponent);
basically i want to check if the chat message contains some word and replace it if it does

[sterile hinge]

it kinda depends on how you want to deal with text that is split up into multiple parts by formatting

but plain text should work

[warm steppe]

all i want is to keep the origlinal formatting

or maybe some hover events etc that it could have

[sterile hinge]

so you want to replace something? Or only check if it contains something?

[warm steppe]

both? ig

[dense drift]

Custom minimessage instance without color tags maybe? But if you want to replace, it is a bit harder ig

[sterile hinge]

adventure has some methods to replace text afaik

[warm steppe]

TextReplacementConfig

will post updates on how it goes

[pulsar ferry]

Please do not spam every channel, and wait for people to reply to your thread
If you want to put a bounty on it then put it in #1202497504655188028

[dense galleon]

If I try doing event.message(component), and this component has no contents but only children (as the contents were added with .append()), will the message show up as empty?

Cause that's what seems to happen

[dusky harness]

it won't show up as empty
also what is event?

[dense galleon]

Nvm it was another problem sorry

[dusky harness]

alr

[dense galleon]

Another question though: how does TextColor.lerp() work?

[dusky harness]

uhh should prob ask kyori discord

[dense galleon]

As

textComponent.append(Component.text(line).color(TextColor.lerp(lerpFactor, startColor, endColor)))``` Does not do anything it seems

[warm steppe]

is it possible to get the item displayname without [ and ]

[dense drift]

I think it is name()

[warm steppe]

i tried to replace them but they wont go away xd

[dense drift]

ah nvm, name() is from triumph-gui xD

[worn jasper]

that returns a component

[warm steppe]

yes, but i can't seem to be able to remove those brackets

[worn jasper]

| is not [] though?

or wait

that's regex

wait

[dense drift]

I think you can simply append the ItemStack and it will display the right name

[worn jasper]

idk what I am saying lmao

[worn jasper]

^^

[dense drift]

The [ ] come from translation iirc

[worn jasper]

worse case scenario you can serialize it, do what you want and deserialize it again

that's what I do in Runway xD

[warm steppe]

nope

[dense drift]

"chat.square_brackets": "[%s]"
https://mcasset.cloud/1.20.4/assets/minecraft/lang

[warm steppe]

needs a component

[warm steppe]

will try dat

[dense drift]

duh, you get a component with Component.translatable(itemStack) or smth

[warm steppe]

heyyy

that worked

ah, but it seems to ignore the display name, it only shows item name

[worn jasper]

https://github.com/xMrAfonso/Runway/blob/master/src/main/java/me/mrafonso/runway/util/ProcessHandler.java#L54

This is what I do in Runway, different use case but yeah

[warm steppe]

hmm

[worn jasper]

Totally different question, but if a premium user joins an offline minecraft server, is their uuid the same or will it also change?

[dense drift]

Last time I've checked, the UUID was created from the bytes of the string "OfflinePlayer:" + name

[sterile hinge]

yeah the UUID is always generated like that if the server is in offline mode

[worn jasper]

oof then rip the way I was thinking on doing it xD

suppose the only way to know if an user is a premium user is with packets then

dies

[sterile hinge]

use online-mode=true and you always know

[dense drift]

check what plugins like jpremium do if the src is public xD

[worn jasper]

it's not xd

[sterile hinge]

fastlogin is open source

[dusky harness]

itemmeta?

oh

[warm steppe]

solved by using String#substring

aaand LegacyComponentSerializer.legacyAmpersand().serialize(itemStack.displayName());

[spring crescent]

So I just realized I'm compiling an absolutely MASSIVE plugin. Talking 80+ Mb when it should be less than 2. I recently added a dependency which caused it to skyrocket. Can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong? I think I'm using the shade version because I have my dev environment setup to push that jar file to my local server instance for testing. I definitely need that, as it makes debugging much much simpler as I can hot-swap classes as I'm working. What is the correct way to handle this? Here is my pom.xml https://paste.helpch.at/kujotufona.xml

[worn jasper]

ew maven

I am out

[sterile hinge]

did you look at the jar to see what's so large?

[dense drift]

From your build config: https://github.com/kangarko/Foundation/blob/master/pom.xml according to google the default scope for dependencies is "compile" and here are a lot of dependencies..

[worn jasper]

wait kangarko?

[spring crescent]

yeh it's a library to help create better GUI's

pagination, etc..

[worn jasper]

typical kangarko thing 💀

[dense drift]

it does more than that

[worn jasper]

triumph-guis for the win

hell their wiki is legit "go buy my course to get documentation" lmao

[spring crescent]

In this case, are you saying I should set it to provided and then whenever anyone gets my resource, they should add a dependency? Similar to PAPI

[dense drift]

open your plugin's jar and see what's inside as Ywell said

[spring crescent]

There's a crap ton inside of it xD

[worn jasper]

at these times is when you realize, minimize() isn't as bad as you think xD

am I stupid or... in maven when you don't include the provided scope, it's the same as implementing it right? (gradle)

[spring crescent]

There appear to be 3 main folders, io moss and a few others being 2-5mb each. As part of adding this dependency, I had to add a repository, jitpack could that also be part of the problem?

[worn jasper]

if this is correct, Foundations legit implements spigot-api and a bunch of other apis 💀

[spring crescent]

Yes, based on what @dense drift shared for default.

[worn jasper]

I swear if this is true, it's gonna be the most typical kangarko moment ever

lmao

Idk how people buy his course

[spring crescent]

I must not be part of the inside joke lol. What is this "Kangarko" moment? Does he frequently do things that are just "Wrong" should I abandon this dependency and use something else for GUI's? xD

[worn jasper]

if you had that one person that is the most disrespected in the whole community besides md_5, it probably would be kangarko

and on top of that, bruv can't code

[dense drift]

yes for the last question

[worn jasper]

triumph-guis 🔛 🔝

[spring crescent]

Okay, so I'm going to listen to said advice, and go idk, Triumph somewhere else? lmao

[worn jasper]

xD

no but fr, triumph-gui is just good.

https://github.com/TriumphTeam/triumph-gui

Also, answering your last question too, just the fact that the guy creates a whole library (badly done), that claims to be the best and open sourced, and then legit puts the documentation behind his course that no one should buy lol

says a lot about that guy

there's a reason why he was banned from spigotmc too

xd

[spring crescent]

Oh my god. I almost stepped on a mine.. you guys have saved me

[worn jasper]

yeah...

it's also funny, he did a video on his youtube channel on why he was banned and basically incriminated himself

that video is now deleted.

[spring crescent]

Lol added a new dependency Triumphantly, 1mb shaded jar xD

[worn jasper]

never heard of that

[spring crescent]

Play on words -.-

I added the GUI library you recommended. 10/10 quality stuff

[worn jasper]

I am slow, mb xD

[spring crescent]

Apparently not as slow as a kangaroo (🤞 Maybe he catches this one first try. I have faith in him.)

[worn jasper]

xd 😂

[river solstice]

well

at least we stepped away from using chatcontrol red

just had too many issues with it

[grand island]

o i did the same

[river solstice]

and, well, couldn't fix them myself, since its.. a paid resource and closed-source

chatchat for the win (ish)

missing some things we need but I added them myself

[grand island]

https://github.com/gepron1x/minimessage-anywhere

[dusky harness]

btw have u tested this on 1.16?

bc minimessage was only on like 1.18+ or smth

[worn jasper]

you could add it manually to the plugin at that time

[atomic trail]

Can someone help fixing this registry? The usage of the NamespacedKey doesn't seem optimal https://paste.helpch.at/abejezutud.java

[spring crescent]

So I'm giving this TriumphGUI library a shot @worn jasper and I'm seeing with the Page 1/N I always get Page 1/2XXXXXXXXXXX until I tap next page, or previous page then it will show the appropriate Page 1/3 or Page 2/3 etc.. Any clue what could be causing that oddity? https://github.com/mkaulfers/hardcore-seasons/blob/main/src/main/java/us/mkaulfers/hardcoreseasons/commands/SurvivorCommand.java#L90

[dense drift]

What needs to be fixed?

[atomic trail]

When I register for example 20 different races it quickly becomes a mess

When creating the keys

I had it as enum before but got told it’s bad because it’s not really extendable, and with a key I can more easily setup an api

I guess I could keep the enum there for default races? Or would that be bad?

[dense drift]

what's so bad about creating the keys?

[worn jasper]

currently not really available, would suggest entering their discord.

[atomic trail]

Well just to add one it would be all this

        weaponAbilities.getRaceRegistry().register(
                new NamespacedKey(WeaponAbilities.getRaceKey().getNamespace(), WeaponAbilities.getRaceKey().getKey() + "-demon"),
                (DemonRace) getConfig("demon-race").get()
        );

And there's a lot of them

[dense drift]

can't each race provide its key dynamicly?

[atomic trail]

Wdym? As is store the key as a field inside the race class?

[dense drift]

For example if DemonRace has any method that returns demon, like getName() you can simply make a getKey() method that returns
new NamespacedKey(WeaponAbilities.getRaceKey().getNamespace(), WeaponAbilities.getRaceKey().getKey() + '-' + getName())

[atomic trail]

Ahhhh yeah true

This is the best I could come up with

        DemonRace demonRace = (DemonRace) addConfig(DemonRace.class, "demon-race", "races/demon.yml");
        weaponAbilities.getRaceRegistry().register(demonRace.getKey(), demonRace);

[dense drift]

you can remove the key parameter from the register method or overload it (the method)

[atomic trail]

I should probably overload it yeah, I'm just keeping it there for a potential API

[dense drift]

and I don't think the cast to DemonRace is needed alternatively you can make addConfig return a generic

[atomic trail]

Tried making it more generic but yeah

It's because I use Configurate ObjectMapper, and I mark all the classes to map with LocaleReference

    private LocaleReference addConfig(Class<? extends LocaleReference> reference, String name, String resourcePath) {
        ConfigurationWrapper wrapper = new ConfigurationWrapper(reference, classLoader, dataFolder, resourcePath);
        configs.put(name, wrapper);
        return wrapper.get();
    }

Couldn't figure out how to make it more generic

[dense drift]

try T addConfig(Class<T extends LocalReference>, ...) and return (T) wrapper.get();

[atomic trail]

Also

[dense drift]

oh sorry, you need to put the extends before
public <T extends LocalReference> T addConfig(Class<T> reference...)

[atomic trail]

Ah yeah that works! Should I just supress the unchecked cast?

[dense drift]

yeah

I usually just ignore it

[atomic trail]

I prefer having no warnings so I just use @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")

[dense drift]

but you can do ... reference.isInstance(result of get()) and return null on an else branch

[atomic trail]

Ahhh yeah smart, what's the difference between that and just instanceof?

This looks pretty good to me

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    private <T extends LocaleReference> T addConfig(Class<T> reference, String name, String resourcePath) {
        ConfigurationWrapper wrapper = new ConfigurationWrapper(reference, classLoader, dataFolder, resourcePath);
        configs.put(name, wrapper);
        if(!reference.isInstance(wrapper.get())) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Invalid configuration class reference (must implement LocaleReference)");
        }
        return (T) wrapper.get();
    }

[dense drift]

I guess they are the same thing, but you can't use it here because you have a Class<> not the actual Class, idk how to say it

[atomic trail]

Ah yeah makes sense

Thank you! This really saved the code imo lol

[dense drift]

and you can not do wrapper.get() instanceof T

I think if you put the result of get() in a variable, which you probably should, the ide won't complain about unchecked cast

[atomic trail]

Same thing

But the warning doesn't really matter imo

[dense drift]

no, not like that

Object result = wrapper.get();
and then do the isInstance check and return (T) result

The ide can't know that the second time you call get() the same object will be returned, so if you put it in a variable and check if is an instance of T then is safe to cast it

[atomic trail]

Ohhhh yeah I understand what you mean now

[warm steppe]

just suppress that warning

#ezfix

[atomic trail]

Nvm is this what you meant?

[graceful hedge]

if u wna get rid of it

reference.cast()

:}

[atomic trail]

What does that do? Just an unchecked cast?

Or checked ig?

[river solstice]

check the sauce

[dense galleon]

Does anyone here know what TextColor.lerp() does/how it works?

[river solstice]

well, lerp is known as linear interpolation, so.. linearly interpolates between colors?

returns a color blended between color a, at t=0.0, and color b, at t=1.0, where t is the interpolation value

[sterile hinge]

in the case of RGB, it's linear interpolation on each component

[lilac portal]

https://imgur.com/z9ntjvv
Hey! Can someone help me with this? I don't know what is the issue here

[sterile hinge]

you have a random import there

[spring crescent]

Does anyone have experience using Inventory-Framework aka IF? I am trying to get the darned thing to work as a paginated inventory, but it seems that it auto-adds NBT data, thus making items added, incompatible with stacking. Also it lacks any form of peristence.

[worn jasper]

what happened to triumph-gui lmao

[spring crescent]

Same problem

There was no triumph to be had

[worn jasper]

you can avoid that problem lmao

if you do it properly

did you even care to ask in the discord server if it was possible?

instead of just running away maybe try and ask?

lol

[spring crescent]

I did ask, "Ghost town"

[worn jasper]

people, including matt, have a life

you asked yesterday lmao

well actually, today, at 1am for me

so less than 24h

if you had patience and waited a bit then yeah.

[broken elbow]

For persistance, serialize the inventory and store it in whatever database you want. I believe this gist is pretty commonly referenced: https://gist.github.com/graywolf336/8153678

[spring crescent]

The issue isn't peristing it in the DB. I already have a method to store and retrieve it, but upon retrival, and adding to either TriumphGUI or IF, results in additional NBT data being added to the items, making them unstackable with any vanilla items. Or, paging to a new page, after removing items from the first page, and then returning dupes the items because it isn't persisted there.

[worn jasper]

Besides, you provided a code of a method that returns an itembuilder for the currentpage item

how in the world are we supposed to use that to solve 2 completely unrelated issues lmao

we are not akinators, we don't read minds, nor are we hackers that hack their way to see your screen and somehow figure out what code you are using.

If you want fast support, ask for it properly. Otherwise, you will wait, and wait, and wait.

[broken elbow]

I was just responding to the second part of your question/statement.

[worn jasper]

if you looked around, you would see that itembuilders can also build itemstacks, you can easily just make it that when a player clicks the item, it copies that item, and builds it as an itemstack and gives it to the player.

[spring crescent]

I did look around. I'm not an idiot. The code takes an item stack and turns it into a GuiItem

[worn jasper]

.....

Suppose I will have to open Intellij then

[spring crescent]

I took the time to find a solution before requesting support.

[worn jasper]

what's this then

what's also this

[broken elbow]

I think you guys are just misunderstanding each other

lol

[worn jasper]

nha I understood him

[dusky harness]

those items have additional nbt that triumph gui puts on for identification

which I think is the issue

[worn jasper]

hmhm

any gui library/frameworks does that

or well, most do

it's the best and most secure way of doing it

but you still could make a copy of the item clicked, without that nbt and give it to the player

just a simple example:

ItemStack itemToGive = ItemBuilder.from(Material.PAPER).build();
gui.addItem(ItemBuilder.from(itemToGive).asGuiItem(e -> {
    p.getInventory().addItem(itemToGive);
    // remove item from the paginated gui
    // refresh gui
}));

[broken elbow]

Or

[worn jasper]

you can even remove specific guiItems with #removeItem()

[broken elbow]

I'm pretty sure you can change the item stack on the player cursor

[worn jasper]

it's just an example of a way of doing it

several other ways of doing it.

[broken elbow]

use that to make it work more like usual inventories

[worn jasper]

you could also get the clicked itemstack, but it would clone it with the nbt data too, so you would have to remove it manually

several ways of going about this lol

but moving it around with paginated guis like a normal inventory won't work

[spring crescent]

Here's the problem I need to solve.

As a user, who won hardcore season 1, I want to collect my rewards from the season.
As a season, I want to track all containers contents, to give rewards to winners of the season.

Problem:

• I need a reliable way to give up to, 100 chests of items for example, to one player who has a limited inventory size.
• I am open to suggestion on this. Maybe my current solution is not the right way to go about this.

**Potential Solution: **(The one I'm trying to debug right now

• Create a paginated GUI that will have all the combined ItemStack[] from all containers, pulled from the DB.
• The items MUST be stackable with vanilla items
• The page must act as a normal inventory, with exception of navigation buttons.
• I need a reliable way to persist data (Locally) between pages.
  • I considered updating the DB with every Click event but that seems uneccessarily bad.

[worn jasper]

since the way paginated guis work in triumph-gui, they populate the gui one by one

[worn jasper]

3. option is impossible

stated above

at least with triumph-gui

pretty sure IF works in the same way

[broken elbow]

with triumph-gui and IF, this is impossible or very hard to do

yeah

they were not really made with this in mind

[worn jasper]

not at all

I don't even see WHY that's needed, why would they want to move them around, they are there to be collected, nothing else

I would assume

[spring crescent]

Yes collected only, but that part is easy if I can just reliably get the stacks in a familiar way.

[dusky harness]

another potential solution:

• have the items in paginated gui, and on click, give that item to the user

so the gui items specifically don't have to be stackable

you just click it, and then the code gives the real item, not the gui item

if that makes sense

[worn jasper]

yup, that's what I suggested above

[worn jasper]

.

[dusky harness]

oh

[worn jasper]

can be done in several ways ofc, just speedran that one

xD

in theory, this will even work with stacked items

since when you add an item, if they are the same itemstacks, they will automatically stack

so yeah

[spring crescent]

Oh wait, I can create a set of Material and just have an icon for what is redeemable, and upon redemption, just change it to some barrier or something to show that it was redeemed.

I am following what you are suggesting rn.

[worn jasper]

or just totally remove it from the list

but yes

that could also work

[spring crescent]

Okay, so what do I do in the event that say "Dirt" is 10000 and it would overflow their inventory upon click. How is that edge case resolved?

[dusky harness]

when doing addItem, it returns the items that couldn't be added, so you can keep those in the gui or drop on the ground

[spring crescent]

oooh didn't know that.

Okay, I have a solution to go forward. Thanks guys ❤️

[river solstice]

How would one go about implement a "module" system?
I have a main plugin, which would load "modules" (commands, listeners) from the "module", which would be placed inside "/plugins/mymainplugindir/modules"

I don't want the "module" to be treated as a plugin itself, it would just have an interface that would return commands and listeners that the main plugin would register

[dusty frost]

Classloader

[dusty frost]

specifically URLClassLoader

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/URLClassLoader.html

and probably do a class java moment and have a standard resource file like a plugin.yml that defines the main class, then get that class

have it implement an interface with like 2 functions to return command and listener classes, then bam

[river solstice]

does this make any sense?

how would I go about making the main plugin registering the listener, and not the the module?

or do I just call the plugin manager of the main plugin from the module to register it

[merry knoll]

have a onLoad type method on the module

and make all your modules implement an interface

[river solstice]

yeah I have that, just onEnable.

for some reason I get java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: me.m0dii.testmodule.TestModule

though it does see the jar file

and, well, the path is correct

[merry knoll]

are you loading the class

[merry knoll]

with this

[river solstice]

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

I'm not sure if that's a directory issue or what

[sterile hinge]

if you want to be cool, you could try using java modules, create a ModuleLayer for your stuff, and load services from the implementing modules

[river solstice]

nah Id rather do it in the worst way possible and suffer

[river solstice]

is there a way to register commands without them being in plugin.yml?

[dense drift]

Ye ofc, I think you have to get the CommandMap from the Server or w/e

[river solstice]

very cool

[hoary scarab]

try {
    Field f = Bukkit.getServer().getClass().getDeclaredField("commandMap");
    f.setAccessible(true);

    CommandMap commandMap = (CommandMap) f.get(Bukkit.getServer());
    commandMap.register("<command>", <CommandExecutor>);
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

[river solstice]

reflection bleh

[dusty frost]

If you're using Paper, they expose a getter

Server#getCommandmap()

[river solstice]

paper all the way

    public static void registerCommand(String commandName,
                                       CommandExecutor executor,
                                       TabCompleter tabCompleter) {
        PluginCommand cmd = Pagrindai.getInstance().getCommand(commandName);

        if (cmd != null) {
            cmd.setExecutor(executor);
            cmd.setTabCompleter(tabCompleter);
            return;
        }

        PluginCommand command = getCommand(commandName, Pagrindai.getInstance());

        try {
            Bukkit.getServer().getCommandMap().register(Pagrindai.getInstance().getDescription().getName(), command);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Messenger.warn("Failed to register command: " + commandName);
            return;
        }

        if (command == null) {
            Messenger.warn("Failed to register command: " + commandName);
            return;
        }

        command.setExecutor(executor);
        command.setTabCompleter(tabCompleter);
    }

    private static PluginCommand getCommand(String name, Plugin plugin) {
        PluginCommand command = null;
        try {
            Constructor<PluginCommand> c = PluginCommand.class.getDeclaredConstructor(String.class, Plugin.class);
            c.setAccessible(true);
            command = c.newInstance(name, plugin);
        } catch (SecurityException | IllegalArgumentException | IllegalAccessException | InstantiationException |
                 InvocationTargetException | NoSuchMethodException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return command;
    }

the mega catch 😔 🫰

[dusty frost]

what's with the constructring a PluginCommand?

you can just register a normal Command class

https://jd.papermc.io/paper/1.20/org/bukkit/command/CommandMap.html#register(java.lang.String,org.bukkit.command.Command)

[river solstice]

I can say that Im not sure, that's the method of creating one I found lol

and.. it works

good enough

[hoary scarab]

reflection bleh
😕

[dusty frost]

yeah wtf lol

[river solstice]

lmao

I dont know

lemme just figure this sh out first

[hoary scarab]

https://github.com/TheCrappiest/ReflectionLibrary 😉

[dusty frost]

actually you know what, while i'm here

you guys have like a nice library or anything to construct blocks with nice NBT stuff?

[river solstice]

havent embarked on NBT journey yet, still in my future plans

[dusty frost]

I was working on this minigame that randomly shuffles a dozen books between bookshelves, and I literally could not figure out how to make a bookshelf and put books in it and put it in the world

like it was so annoying, i don't know why they don't just like have a nice builder or something for it

[hoary scarab]

Don't know of any. Generally people stay away from NBT data.

[dusty frost]

yeah well I need to make blocks and I don't know how else to do it 😔

[sterile hinge]

terrible

[hoary scarab]

🤷 Suggestions?

[sterile hinge]

Not wrapping inefficient code with more inefficient code

[hoary scarab]

Example?

[sterile hinge]

example for what?

[hoary scarab]

Of how I can make it better/efficient.

[river solstice]

worse*/inefficient*

[sterile hinge]

I don't see any benefit added by that library, why does it need to exist in first place?

[hoary scarab]

Convenience and usage example

[dense drift]

Do you have to use NBT?
I see there's an api for this
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/ChiseledBookshelfInventory.html I guess you set the items here and hope the game updates the texture accordingly xD
Otherwise you might have to do it manually through https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/block/data/type/ChiseledBookshelf.html

[dusty frost]

no I mean not necessarily, I just want to make a damn block and set it in the world

like the way I tried to do it involved a ton of like getting BlockData, casting it, setting it, assigning it to a block, etc. and it all just didn't work

surely somebody must have made a thing where you can just like make a new block object and set it

[river solstice]

also, once the command is registered in the commandmap, it autocompletes just fine (the command exists), how do I unregister it?

I don't want it to be visible anymore

command.unregister(Bukkit.getServer().getCommandMap()) doesn't seem to do the trick

[sterile hinge]

sometimes convenience is a bad thing

[hoary scarab]

Have you tried Bukkit.createBlockData(String)?

[dusty frost]

uh, idk what the String would look like?

[river solstice]

stringy

[dusty frost]

yeah like if I could do the string that would be cool

[hoary scarab]

CraftBlockData.fromData(<BlockState>).getAsString()

[dusty frost]

how do I make a BlockState?

[hoary scarab]

Yeah I'm at a loss there lol. Just example from my schematic code.

[dusty frost]

yeah like that's what I'm saying lol

why is there not just a nice way to create a block with the right data then just set it in the world

[hoary scarab]

But what you could do is make the bookshelf and just use that to get the string and modify the string.

[dusty frost]

😫

[hoary scarab]

One sec

[dusty frost]

i just wanna go like new ChiseledBookshelf(ItemStack[] books).setInWorld(x, y, z)

[river solstice]

hol up lemme just add that to the api

[hoary scarab]

^^^ lol

[dusty frost]

like for reals man

why is this shit so ass

who thought that programatically editing worlds in a game literally all about building could be this hard

[dense drift]

Isnt there a method in spigot api that accepts a snbt?

[hoary scarab]

World minecraftWorld = (World) ((CraftWorld) block.getWorld()).getHandle();
IBlockData data = minecraftWorld.a_(new BlockPosition(block.getX(), block.getY(), block.getZ()));
player.sendMessage(CraftBlockData.fromData(data).getAsString());

new CraftChiseledBookShelf().createBlockState()?

Best I could find is java CraftChiseledBookShelf craftShelf = (CraftChiseledBookShelf) CraftChiseledBookShelf.newData(Material.CHISELED_BOOKSHELF, null); craftShelf.setSlotOccupied(0, true); and then just set the block state normally but use craftShelf.

[dusty frost]

I mean I don't wnat to just set it to occupied

I want to actually put books in it lol

[hoary scarab]

I figured. Yeah no one liners or short code for that as far as I can tell. Could make your own lib lol

[dense drift]

Iirc this is the method that accepts a snbt https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Server.html#createBlockData(java.lang.String)

[minor summit]

no

that's just the block state (what bukkit calls BlockData), e.g. minecraft:redstone_wire[north=true,power=13] etc

there is no one-liner you can use, you need to:

1. set the block material to chiseled_bookshelf
2. get the blockstate and cast to chiseledbookshelf
3. get the inventory and set the contents
4. update the blockstate

[dense drift]

Sad

[river solstice]

so I'm using boosted-yaml and am facing an issue regarding the configuration.
since my modules are loaded by my main plugin, getClass().getResourceAsStream() gives me the resources of the main plugin, not of the module.

any ideas?

        File dataDirectory = new File(Pagrindai.getInstance().getDataFolder(), "modules/config");
        try {
            config = YamlDocument.create(new File(dataDirectory, "config.yml"),
                    Objects.requireNonNull(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/config.yml")),
                    GeneralSettings.DEFAULT,
                    LoaderSettings.builder().setAutoUpdate(true).build(),
                    DumperSettings.DEFAULT,
                    UpdaterSettings.builder().setVersioning(new BasicVersioning("file-version"))
                            .setOptionSorting(UpdaterSettings.OptionSorting.SORT_BY_DEFAULTS).build());

            config.update();
            config.save();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

[dense drift]

accessing resources is always a trial and error process for me try to put the file in a folder that has the name of the module and access it by the full path

[river solstice]

huh

[dense drift]

example-module.jar/example-module/config.yml > getResourceAsStream("example-module/config.yml")

[river solstice]

um

it's uh, a bit different

I have a main plugin, which loads "modules" via classloader.
The main plugin has dir /plugins/mycoolplugin/ and has it's own config file /plugins/mycoolplugin/config.yml, that is in the jar resources dir.
The modules reside in /plugins/mycoolplugin/modules and have a ``/plugins/mycoolplugin/modules/directory`, where the config files will be stored.

[river solstice]

and by using this, since the class is loaded by my main plugin, getResource looks for resources in mycoolplugin.jar, when it should look in mycoolmodule.jar

not sure if that explained it

[dense drift]

My guess is it cant distinguish plugin.jar/config.yml from module.jar/config.yml so you need to put the module's config on a different path

[minor summit]

a classloader will look up in the parent classloader first

personally I just suggest putting the resource alongside your classes (basically, under the package/namespace)

e.g. deez.nuts.AreBig class getClass().getResource("config.yml")
deez/nuts/config.yml

[river solstice]

alright, thanks, I'll try it out

also

I ran into another issue. While loading the "module" seems fine, some of the classes are not loaded and I get java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.
Does the class loader only load classes that are directly used in the class that is considered the "main" module class?

[minor summit]

huh

[river solstice]

i dont know

my brain melted from lack of sleep

tldr some of the classes work, ex. the command I pass it to the main plugin to register it, it outputs a response, but theres an argument in that command, say /cmd blah, which calls an utility class

and then I get no class def whatever

tldrtldr im kinda not sure what im doing and just trying to figure it out while messing around

[dense galleon]

I'm making a UML diagram for the plugins needed on my servers (Which I have written) and is it normal for it to almost become a web of dependencies haha

I mean it is relatively well organized

This is it for now, 6 minor plugins which all depend on my core plugin, two of which depend on ProtocolLib.
The core plugin depends on that extra library, same as the velocity plugin

(The solid line I am using to indicate that the dependency is being shaded in)

[errant cosmos]

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

[river solstice]

im not too sure but that doesnt exactly look like UML to me

[worn jasper]

not at all xD

that's more of a diagram/schema

but def. not UML

[dense galleon]

I mean when you look up UML diagram, you can find those kind too

[worn jasper]

still not the actual uml

[river solstice]

I suppose it's a very, uh, idk, undefined? UML diagram, personally I wouldn't call it UML, just a diagram.

I had several classes that required UML diagrams, and it was pain

[sterile hinge]

I'd never say something isn't UML because there's a wide range of different things in UML, and no sane person knows all of them

[river solstice]

it's either we call every diagram UML or some diagrams are just diagrams and not exactly UML

[worn jasper]

well it's def. not the standard uml used in java and the uml you learn at school/uni

[river solstice]

real

[worn jasper]

UMLs usually display fields, methods and class name.

[sterile hinge]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Modeling_Language#Diagrams there's a list of different UML diagram types

it's much more than just class diagrams

[river solstice]

found a few diagrams from my bachelors degree project lol

Use-case, ER, deployment (package?), activity, sequence

[dense galleon]

Yeah I think mine is just a UML diagram in a broad sense

But either way, is it normal for a server network to have a web of dependencies like that?

[spiral prairie]

that isnt a web of dependencies

[dense galleon]

Is it not?

[spiral prairie]

Man you haven't seen a web of dependencies

I have seen and almost drawn diagrams where you couldn't read the names of the relations and entities because of the lines connecting them

[dense galleon]

Haha yeah fairs

Is protocollib available for 1.20.4?

[worn jasper]

dev builds yes

but packetevents better

[dusty frost]

if only the plugins I use depended on PacketEvents and not ProtocolLib lmao

[dense galleon]

What's that?

Okay the issue is that with PacketEvents I can't send events

[worn jasper]

you can?!?!

[minor summit]

lol

[robust flower]

I am curious about this, would you mind to elaborate a bit on this topic, I never heard of Packet Events, if you like it, could you please highlight some of the main features you like about it?

[worn jasper]

can be shaded, built-in wrappers, supports latest versions (without the need to use dev builds) and it's not protocollib (W)

[spiral prairie]

Basically you don't need to look at wiki.vg and make the code for the packets for each version from that

It also has lots of NMS utils

[spring crescent]

@worn jasper btw your suggestion on the button vs storage solution works 💋

I was able to GREATLY improve the quality of my code-base and now it just "Works" which is awesome.

[worn jasper]

pog

[spring crescent]

Okay, so I have my reward system working and functional using the DB. Now do you guys have any suggestions on updating placed chests every X amount of time? Right now I'm simply tracking chest updates and updating contents on the DB by listening to inventory close events. However there will be an obvious situation where players will use hoppers to move things around. By doing this, chest contents will become "Outdated" in the database from the in-game state. How much of a performance hit would it be to iterate over say 1000 chests, get their locations in the world, and update those contents in the database? I think someone mentioned once about doing it by loaded chunks only, but that might prove more difficult than it's worth. Any suggestions?

[torpid raft]

do you have to iterate over all 1000 in the same game tick? or can you spread that out

[spring crescent]

@torpid raft I can spread it out. It's not a critical operation so it really only needs to happen a handful of times per day. Even if it was unable to run because of a restart on the next update it would get it updates.

[merry knoll]

doing on loaded chunks is the way to go and is simple

given that you know their coords

[merry knoll]

for this just use a queue system that spreads it over multiple ticks

[mild stirrup]

Could someone take a look at my code pls read Line 35 and 36 where i explained my Problem Thx <3
https://paste.helpch.at/itovobipul.kotlin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg_377t85Wo

[pulsar ferry]

First of all you're closing the inventory before canceling the event, second, delay the close by 1 tick

[proud pebble]

you should probs just schedule the close of the inventory 1 tick later

Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(YourPluginInstance, ()->player.closeInventory()); i do it alot in my own plugins

ofc replace YourPluginInstance with whatever method you use to pass the plugin's main class

the original object

I was told in the Paper discord that it's not as easy to send packets

And that "its got its fair share of issues" which electroniccat couldn't be bothered to get into for some reason

What I was told however is that the two are not compatible with one another, and if I ever want to install some anticheat or plugin which depends on ProtocolLib I'm screwed if I use PacketEvents

Sry to ping you but why is that wrong ?

[proud pebble]

your probably trying to call the class, not the object

[pulsar ferry]

Calling the class directly refers to the instance of the companion object, not the class itself

[proud pebble]

like mine is LunixPrison.getPlugin() but in my main class, ive got

private static LunixPrison plugin;

public void onEnable() {
    plugin = this;
    ...
}

public static LunixPrison getPlugin() {
    return plugin;
}

[pulsar ferry]

please don't do this in kotlin

[proud pebble]

idk how kotlin does it, but they should beable to figure out how to convert it to kotlin

[pulsar ferry]

Just do dependency injection

[proud pebble]

DI works aswell and is probably the way ur supposed to do it, i just do the static abuse method so i dont have to

cus lazy

[pulsar ferry]

override fun onEnable() {
  // Pass the instance of the plugin to the listener
  InventoryClickListener(this)
}

// The instance is in the primary constructor
class InventoryClickListener(private val plugin: MyPlugin) : Listener 

[dense galleon]

Is this a realistic problem?

[mild stirrup]

Worked Thank you

[minor summit]

wat

where'd you get that from

[dense galleon]

From ElectronicCat on the paper discord server

[minor summit]

can I see the message

because afaik they are just independent from one another and work entirely orthogonally

[dense galleon]

Based on that it sounds like:

1. PE cannot send packets
2. They are not compatible with one another

[minor summit]

I'm pretty sure they can coexist

they just don't interact with each other

[grand island]

thats not true

[dense galleon]

Idk when I asked electroniccat to elaborate they said they cba to do it

So I am kinda lost now

[grand island]

Tho packet events has its epic gamer moments

[dense galleon]

Wdym?

[minor summit]

afaik you can send packets with PE?

some PlayerUtil or smth I think it was

[dense galleon]

Where can I find docs on PE?

[minor summit]

javadocs should be linked on their gh readme, I'm not sure if they have user guide docs however

[spiral prairie]

You can send and listen to packets

[dense galleon]

I got bamboozled twice here then

So I can have both plugins in my server

[grand island]

YES

[spring crescent]

I have a problem I don't know how to efficiently work around. Currently I'm tracking each "Container" eg, furnace, chest, barrel, etc.. that is placed in the world and adding the XYZ coordinates for those to a database. The problem is that I need to track the contents of those containers, but how do I resolve a "Double-Chest" without duping contents into my database? Given a chest has two sides, but their contents are the same. Does anyone have a suggestion for this?

[pulsar ferry]

One day I'll need to implement something similar to that, and I'll just say, it's an absolutely nightmare to do

[minor summit]

just save both chests individually

they have their own individual inventories

double chest inventories are just two chest inventories glued together with spit

[spring crescent]

so if you break one and it moves it all to one side, my chest update method would fix it auto-magically?

[minor summit]

wat

[spring crescent]

When you break one side of a double chest, and there's space, it'll move everything to the remaining single chest

[minor summit]

no

if there are items on the right side and you break the right chest it'll just drop everything from that chest

they are simply two individual chests

[dense galleon]

when clicking download sources on IntelliJ, it doesn't seem to find the sources :/

[minor summit]

i mean that's not what i said but sure

that depends on whether or not they published the javadoc/sources jar to the maven repo they use

[dense galleon]

Can I somehow attach them manually?

[spring crescent]

Wait... this is a mechanic I never noticed. Going to test that now. If it works out of the box I'll be happy lol

[minor summit]

uh maybe? on intellij you can go to the project structure -> libraries, find PE and you can add sources jar if you have one

but, you need to get it lol

[dense galleon]

What's that type of website called? I've seen it before

is it just javadocs

[minor summit]

what

[dense galleon]

trying to figure out how to download the sources

[minor summit]

it doesn't seem like they publish them https://repo.codemc.io/service/rest/repository/browse/maven-releases/com/github/retrooper/packetevents/spigot/2.2.1/

but they host the javadocs online

https://packetevents.github.io/javadocs/

[dense galleon]

I'm just really bad at using that website

[minor summit]

"that website" being?

[dense galleon]

This

[minor summit]

i mean it won't give you anything you ide doesn't already

[dense galleon]

Ah so there is no javadocs for methods etc.?

[minor summit]

it's just gonna help you navigate from class A to B and see what methods they have, return types etc

[dense galleon]

I mean but can't I already do that through my IDE

[minor summit]

^

[dense galleon]

So no Javadocs

I really don't get people who write APIs and proceed to not write javadocs for them

[minor summit]

?

[dense galleon]

Javadoc comments

[minor summit]

the javadoc are literally online

[dense galleon]

I mean the comments

[minor summit]

ah yeah ig

[dense galleon]

Those

I've written javadoc comments for private plugins I use in my server ffs

Wait so to use PacketEvents it's just... a lot of trial and error and looking at examples?

[sharp hemlock]

Hello, so i have a little problem when using the maven shade plugin i want to create a sources jar that also has the dependencies' sources.
Setting <createSourcesJar>true</createSourcesJar> does indeed do the job. It includes the sources' of my dependencies. It then misses out my main project sources in the source file.

When i have the source plugin and have createSourcesJar false, it does indeed create the sources for my main project but obviously then it misses the dependencies' sources. If i try and have both enabled. It doesn't work.

https://haste.olziedev.com/sahenobaha.xml

This is my POM.XML

[dense galleon]

Is there any examples on how you send packets in PE?

Or do I just have to piece it together myself

Also, how do I know what each packet type does?

If there is no proper documentation

[sharp hemlock]

only examples i found https://github.com/retrooper/packetevents-example

and using this helps a lot https://wiki.vg/Protocol

[dense galleon]

Yeah those are all for receiving

[spiral prairie]

https://github.com/HibiscusMC/HMCWraps/blob/master/api/src/main/java/de/skyslycer/hmcwraps/preview/floating/FloatingPreview.java

[dense galleon]

Sweet thank you I will look at that

[worn jasper]

there are some issues with it, yes, including reports of the owner being a kid, will still need protocollib for other plugins that require it but for your own plugins, specially if its a public one, you can just shade it. ProtocolLib has its own issues too so, not really the biggest thing.

and again, packetevents can send packets too and it's not as hard as some say

[spiral prairie]

PacketEvents is completely fine with ProtocolLib afaik, just use PLib 5.x.x

Imo PE is easier to use and also has a nice Discord and developer everybody can easily reach out to

[spring crescent]

@minor summit so I discovered something "Interesting" about my Double_Chest predicament. It would seem the assumption that double-chests are stuck together with glue is an understatement. If I attempt to update the contents of the chest, using the ChunkLoadEvent that will result in duplicate data, because the data for the inventory is stored in both tile entities. However, using the InventoryCloseEvent will result in a single chest being returned, so updating that way will always result in a single instance in my database being updated.

Curiously, I cast it to a DoubleChest to see what would happen if I return the .leftSide() or the .rightSide() values for it, guess what, they both return the same exact X,Y,Z coordinates despite the tile data carrying unique values for "Individual" chests. WTF is going on.

This is going to result in a proper pain in the butt to update my chests because I can't reliably use ChunkLoad due to the nature of the way that DoubleChests work. So now I'm back to square one with updating chests and redstone will break my setup entirely. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the contents of an unloaded chest at X,Y,Z coordinates? What happens if I get the X,Y,Z of a double-chest and it behaves the same way as the ChunkLoadEvent?!? This is quite a problem xD

[grim oasis]

how would I go about retrieving the base64 value of a skull?

[spring crescent]

A skull can be used as a Block so that means you can get the ItemStack variant of it and thus do it the way that you normally would.

[grim oasis]

Can you elaborate?

I'm asking because I've never gotten it before

so I have no "way I normally would"

[spring crescent]

public static String itemStackToBase64(ItemStack item) throws IllegalStateException {
        try {
            ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            BukkitObjectOutputStream dataOutput = new BukkitObjectOutputStream(outputStream);

            // Save every element
            dataOutput.writeObject(item);

            // Serialize that array
            dataOutput.close();
            return new String(Base64Coder.encode(outputStream.toByteArray()));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Unable to save item stacks.", e);
        }
    }

Also, looks like there's an instance method .toItemStack() you can use to get the ItemStack

So it'd be something like String serializedSkull = itemStackToBase64(skull.toItemStack()) would get you the base64

[graceful hedge]

if u use api u have SkullMeta and PlayerProfile where u can grab the base64 from

[spring crescent]

I need suggestions desperately. I've been stuck on this chest updating problem for a while. I need to track the contents of a chest (Chests placed by a player), and I need it to auto-update even if redstone contraptions change those contents (Eg Hopper -> Chest). I currently have a solution that works for tracking the chest, and updating whenever a player interacts with the chest by using the InventoryCloseEvent which works great. However DoubleChest seems to complicate that matter when using ChunkLoadEvent in particular because I cant' run checks there async due to using Bukkit API. Furthermore getting the contents of a doublechest seems to always "Duplicate" my data in my database, resulting in two separate "Chest" instances, that contain the same thing. This is not expected behavior given an Inventory close event always just updates either the left or right side, depending on which side you interact with initially.

Ultimately the problems that I need to solve are, updating chest contents in my database, regardless of single or double chests & containers, as well as handle redstone adding items to those chests. Any suggestions?

[grim oasis]

oh this is the entire item, i just need the skull owner value

[grim oasis]

how so?

skullMeta.getOwnerProfile() returns null

[spring crescent]

Anyone have experience unloading and destroying a world? My world seems to always fail to unload, returns false . Restarting the server results in a newly generated world, but I'm expecting it to not require a restart.

private void generateNewWorld() {
        for (Player p : getServer().getOnlinePlayers()) {
            p.kickPlayer(ChatColor.GOLD + "The world is being reset for the new season. Please rejoin in a moment.");
        }

        List<World> worlds = Bukkit.getWorlds();
        for (int i = 0; i < worlds.size(); i++) {
            World w = worlds.get(i);
            getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, () -> {
                boolean result = getServer().unloadWorld(w, false);
                getLogger().info("Unloaded world: " + w.getName() + " Result: " + result);

                // Delete directory
                File worldDir = w.getWorldFolder();
                deleteDirectoryRecursively(worldDir);

                WorldCreator wc = new WorldCreator(w.getName());
                wc.environment(w.getEnvironment());
                wc.hardcore(w.isHardcore());
                wc.generator(w.getGenerator());
                wc.keepSpawnInMemory(false);
                wc.createWorld();
            }, i * 20L * 5L);
        }
    }

Also, should be noted, the other worlds, nether and the_end unload just fine.

[sterile hinge]

if it's the default world, that might just be a limitation of how the server works

[spring crescent]

Yes it’s the default world. Hmm is there any way to update that default world?

I’d really like to avoid a restart requirement, but I definitely need the worlds reset entirely

[sterile hinge]

make some other placeholder world the default one

[merry knoll]

slime world manager might support it

might wanna take a look to see how they do it

[rancid sonnet]

does anyone know a better way to print TextComponents with player.spigot().sendMessage? sorry i dont know if im in the right place for this. the best method i found for now is making a new textcomponent for every message and using var.addExtra(secondvar); to add the textcomponents together and then print them to the player

[hoary scarab]

InventoryMoveItemEvent for hopper -> chest
InventoryClickEvent for player -> chest
You can use the Inventory async but when updating the chest's block state it has to be sync.

[atomic trail]

Is it possible to have a fixed size for ArrayDequeue? Or should I use something different?

[torpid raft]

just make a tiny wrapper around it to enforce a size restriction

but also there seems to be a BlockingDeque which sounds like what you want

[sterile hinge]

It really depends on what you want to happen when trying to add if full

[atomic trail]

I'm trying to store the 5 latest locations for a while, using a scheduler

Like this https://paste.helpch.at/najofahive.java

The issue is that it doesn't remove the last element in the queue, when it's filled, which is what I want

Important part is this

                    if(!previousLocation.containsKey(uuid)) {
                        ArrayDeque<Location> deque = new ArrayDeque<>(5);
                        deque.addFirst(player.getLocation());
                        previousLocation.put(uuid, deque);
                    } else {
                        previousLocation.get(uuid).addFirst(player.getLocation());
                    }

[atomic trail]

BlockingDeque waits until there is space, I don't want that

It should just push everything towards the last index when I add something new

[dusky surge]

java.sql.SQLException: No value specified for parameter 1
How is this possible? Happened only on some servers with MySQL.
Here is the code:

this.saveQuery = "INSERT INTO " + this.databaseManager.getUsersTable() + " (uuid, data) VALUES (?, ?) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE data = VALUES(data)";
Connection connection = null;
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = null;
try
{
    connection = this.databaseManager.getConnection();
    preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(this.saveQuery);
    preparedStatement.setString(1, this.uuid);
    String data = GsonUtils.getGson().toJson(this.dataSave);
    preparedStatement.setString(2, data);
    preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
}
catch (SQLException sqlException)
{
    sqlException.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
    this.databaseManager.close(connection, preparedStatement, null);
}```
Anyone SQL expert?

[atomic trail]

Ignore me, found a simple fix

[atomic trail]

Does this happen when there's a duplicate key? Because iirc you need to put the data in parentheses as well so it's ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE (data) = VALUES(data)"

[dusky surge]

Happened only on 2 servers, on all other servers work fine.

Is like is missing this line: preparedStatement.setString(1, this.uuid);

If I remove this line I see same error.

[atomic trail]

Try catching all exceptions instead of just SQLException

Might be something different

[dusky surge]

Good idea but I don't think.

[atomic trail]

Looks a lot like it's throwing an exception

Also use better debugging

For example throw new RuntimeException("explain error", exception);

[dusky surge]

I added more debug infos, now waiting for customer. Thanks for the help!

https://prnt.sc/6LOgfaSi1D-z

[atomic trail]

don't use exception.printStackTrace

[atomic trail]

.

Also I'd recommend looking into using TWR instead of using the finally block

[dusky surge]

https://prnt.sc/fzX7YmGNEy2c

[atomic trail]

Yes but actually explain the error lol

So your client can see what went wrong

[dusky surge]

I just need to detect and fix that.

He is not doing something wrong.

[atomic trail]

For example Exception happened while saving database

[atomic trail]

I know

[dusky surge]

Yes is something temp until I fix the issue.

[atomic trail]

Aight

[sterile hinge]

just write some custom impl that deals with the limit

[river solstice]

or just, check the size and remove last if full

¯_(ツ)_/¯

but yeah, custom data structure is prob something id go with too

[sterile hinge]

having it as a proper data structure makes it easier to ensure the invariants are held

[minor summit]

big words

[spring crescent]

So TIL that resetting a world aka regenerating the Main world is much harder to pull off than I imagined. It would appear that it's entirely impossible to use .unloadWorld(...) on world or whatever is defined in server.properties. Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I am able to regenerate nether and end dimensions just fine, granted I don't know if they're accessible in the way that I'm thinking.

[river solstice]

well thats probably there to ensure a location to put the players in

if you are going to unload all worlds where will the players go

a workaround would probably be having a different unused main world

[spring crescent]

Yeh it would seem that's the thing I'm going to have to do... even Multiverse doesn't have a workaround, and those guys are pros at world management. It's not the worst, I suppose. Users can just have a "Central" world which will act as a hub to access the seasonal world. Doing so means I'm going to have to manage nether travel and end_travel I believe.

[sterile hinge]

I told you #development message, just don't use the main world actively

[spring crescent]

There's always reflection 🤣 but I'm not insane, and I'd rather just work around the problem with something different haha xD

[sterile hinge]

what is the problem with doing what I said

[spring crescent]

I don't think I'm understanding what you mean by "Make placeholder" I think that's already what I'm doing.

[sterile hinge]

you have one world that just is there but isn't in use at all

[spring crescent]

Ahh yeh I'm pretty sure I'm doing that. Here's a look at my solution, based on what you said.

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

[sterile hinge]

so the problem is solved then?

[spring crescent]

Ehh up for debate xD I don't know if this is loading the worlds yet. If it is, then yeh I'll just use the PlayerPortalEvent to direct them where they should go.

[spring crescent]

Ooh interesting. That solution "Kinda Works" seems that it only creates 1 world per restart, which is not expected. Is there some limitation of WorldCreator that only allows a single world at a time to be generated?

Figured it out. I needed to run it in sync.

[spring crescent]

Do you know if it's possible to force a player onto a world when they join? I presume so, but I want to be certain before I go crazy with this. Seems I now have my rewards and such working from end to end so a release is right around the corner 💃

If it's for your server specifically you could edit the server jar you're using.

are there any events related to entity consume? i want to trigger when a witch drinks a potion

[wispy iron]

Please help me!!!! How do I add a glow effect to an item displayed in the menu?

[minor summit]

yep

[minor summit]

keep reading

[signal grove]

xD

thanks

[minor summit]

np

[signal grove]

im using spigot though

but i found an EntityRegainHealthEvent

so that should work ideally

[tight junco]

i mean what if they use a fire res potion

[terse osprey]

There’s your first problem

[signal grove]

the server's paper

im making the plugin spigot for compatibility

[merry knoll]

stick to paper or one of its well known ports

or folia if it fits your use case

[terse osprey]

Paper, I think we were talking earlier and like 85% of servers are running paper with I think nearly 95% servers running paper if you include forks hold on we were just talking about this

I can’t find the messages, discord mobile search is trash. I may be off by ~5% on either or both of those numbers but TLDR just use paper

[royal hedge]

tf

[sterile hinge]

I don't understand what that is supposed to mean

if you want to replace an object in place, that's not going to work in Java for a bunch of reasons

[hoary scarab]

I figured. Asked anyways to make sure.

[tight junco]

what link even was it

i mean theres not many reasons to post jitpack links when you just joined really

send it as a file

if you can

if not use paste.helpch.at

try to invalidate caches and restart

alternatively you could delete the .gradle file

just silly intellij things

oh yeah

im stupid

perhaps resetting the .idea file in general ?

[dusky harness]

try File -> Repair IDE
although since you already did invalidate caches, that probably won't fix it, but idk what else to do

[dusky harness]

oh yeah ig you can try this

[tight junco]

its just intellij being a bit strange sometimes it happens

[dusky harness]

no

[tight junco]

if its compiling fine it should all work its just your ide showing the wrong info

[dusky harness]

maybe we should've given a warning about that 🥲

[tight junco]

yeah i was thinking that but configurations shouldnt be crazy difficult to do again

[dense galleon]

What could result in a ClassNotFoundException, even if the plugin being depended on is present in my server?
I have two plugins: DropNames and Artifacts.
DropNames depends on Artifacts, and has it added as a provided dependency in the pom.xml.
However, when both the plugins are present in my server, the moment DropNames tries calling a method from Artifacts, the ClassNotFoundException error is thrown.
Artifacts does load before DropNames too

[dusky harness]

then it should work
can you paste the full error here?

[dense galleon]

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

The Artifacts plugin does work

I have no clue what could be wrong, I got another plugin depending on Artifacts and it works without issues

[dusky harness]

are you using paper-plugins?

like paper-plugin.yml

or regular plugin.yml?

[dense galleon]

plugin.yml

[dusky harness]

oh

[dense galleon]

Is it meant to be paper-plugin.yml

[dusky harness]

no i just asked since paper-plugin.yml has a different loading system and stuff

[dense galleon]

Ah okay :/

Any idea what could be wrong? The poms for the plugin which depends on artifacts successfully and the current plugin are identical

[dense galleon]

Okay welp, mvn clean fixed it I guess

[dusky harness]

oh yeah
it's recommended to always run mvn clean package

instead of just mvn package

forgot about that

gradle 😌

[dense galleon]

package? why not install?

[dusky harness]

install also runs package, but also installs to your local maven repo

which isn't needed unless you're using that project as a library in another project

ex BuildTools does mvn install

[dense galleon]

Question: is there any way to make TextDisplay entities always face the player? Like name tags do

[dense galleon]

Ah cool okay

[dusky harness]

I think it's possible because there's been discussion of using that to make custom nametags, but I haven't used TextDisplays myself, so idk how to

hmmm

[dense galleon]

There isn't that many methods in TextDisplay though

Ah it's the billboard thingy

[spring crescent]

How do I go about recognizing color codes in my localization file? I'm loading a custom localization.yml config into an object as a string for each keys value. Those String can have a color code, eg & associated with them. However I can't seem to get my colors to appear. Am I missing something? I have tried ChatColor.translate... to no avail.

[river solstice]

Plugman

[broken elbow]

Spigot doesn't actually use & for color codes. It uses § (section symbol). You need to translate & to § which you can do using ChatColor#translate. You said you used it but it did not work, however you did not provide any examples of what you have tried so we won't be able to help further. Please provide examples of what you have tried.

[spring crescent]

oooh can you give a short example of that? I think thats what I'm actually missing xD

    private static String translateAlternateColorCodes(String text) {
        return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', text);
    }

Raw string is just given right here

The string might be something like "&bHello,&6 World!"

Are you just trying to support hot-swapping?

What IDE are you using?

Maven or Gradle?

Ezpz, you can run the server from in the IDE, in a separate folder, run it in debugging mode

Then have your build artifacts go out to that folder

Simply "Build" and viola it'll hot-swap changes so much as you don't change more than one class at a time

[broken elbow]

Have you tried printing out what that function returns?

To see if it returns the string with section symbols instead of ampersands?

[spring crescent]

Prints out the text, with no color codes.

Err I see, uno momento

[broken elbow]

And if you send that message to a player, they see it without colors?

[spring crescent]

Console outputs this [15:39:21 INFO]: Translated: have died and must wait until Season no translations. Input was this &6You have died and must wait until Season

Correct, players see no colors. Interestingly, why would it be chopping off the entire &6You ? wtf xD

[minor summit]

&blah is special syntax in yaml

you'd have to put the whole thing in quotes

"&6You have died ....."

[spring crescent]

LOL I just realized that. Ty @minor summit & @broken elbow

[dusky harness]

unload & load

note that plugman can break some stuff, so if the plugin doesn't work, try restarting too

but other than that, as long as you're not doing it in a production environment, it should be fine

[spring crescent]

Now I should be able to sneak in PAPI support and MiniMessage, all in one place. Ahhh i love it xD

[spring crescent]

I guess I'm a monster then. I use it to update plugins all the time lmao xD

[dusky harness]

I mean you can do it, but afaik it doesn't actually unload and load the plugins fully, so you want to be careful with it

I haven't really done research on the actual problems of it though

I think it has something to do with the way it loads and unloads classes. So if you update across major changes, it'll break things a lot. It'll also ignore "States", for example FancyNPC's will break entirely if you use it, by causing duplicate entities to spawn.

[dusky harness]

it also seems to keep all of its memory, so FancyNPCs probably has all the entities spawned, and then onEnable results in it spawning again
either that or FancyNPCs doesn't use packet NPCs and it doesn't remove the NPCs in onDisable

[spring crescent]

Just do straight up in-memory. RAM is cheap

I haven't used redis myself, so I don't know, but you shouldn't be using redis on the main thread, meaning that you'd probably need to do in-memory caching anyways

[spring crescent]

I'm loading like 1000 chests, locations, contents, etc.. with minimal impact to memory usage

[spring crescent]

Depends on your use-case. I went SQLite so that I can also offer MySQL support which is more readily available to server owners than say, a redis server or a mongo server. Not to mention there's more documetation on that related to Minecraft specifically. You'll be hard pressed to find anything about Minecraft + Redis for example.

[minor summit]

eh

using mysql to communicate between servers is not a good use of mysql lol

and redis for persistent storage is very

[merry knoll]

depends on your data

postgresql if you need sql

redis if you need cross server cache

[sterile hinge]

Nah that’s fine I guess

[dense galleon]

Is it normal for any entity to not be visible past a TextDisplay entity?

[trail burrow]

it has been a few weeks since I opened my IDE, getting many warnings in my pom about could not transfer metadata, anyone know how I can fix?

[dense galleon]

If I have an int that NEEDS to constantly be synced up between my whole network, does it make sense to access it and store it directly into my database?

[spiral prairie]

redis?

[dense galleon]

What

The database is stored locally

As in, same machine which the server runs on

[spiral prairie]

use the key value in memory storage of redis

its fast

[dense galleon]

I have never heard of Redis

Is that built-in

[spiral prairie]

no

[dense galleon]

Right

What would be the problem with the approach I mentioned

I'd rather avoid using yet another library

[spiral prairie]

depending on the db it could be slower

[dense galleon]

What would the speed depend on?

I'm using MySQL

[spiral prairie]

if its storing and reading the value to and from disk

also why are you still using MySQL

[dense galleon]

It's my dad's machine, he had that installed

[spiral prairie]

ah

[dense galleon]

It's a complicated story haha

What's the problem with MySQL

[dense galleon]

It would be yeah, as I don't really have a way for multiple instances of my plugin to access the same data from different servers

I mean, I guess I could store that data in a Velocity plugin?

[merry knoll]

redis

[spiral prairie]

That's what I said

[merry knoll]

didnt read the whole chat mb

[graceful hedge]

There is something called redisson live object service

If you use redis + redisson java redis client

Its decent, tho afaik it seems like there is no “compareAndSwap” operation which is the only major disappointment of it at first sight

How heavy would it be to calculate distance between two players in pvp on each hit?

considering there could be like ~40 players in pvp at the same time
