memory leaks are when some piece of code holds on to memory that it shouldn't. if memory is rising but then falling down again, that means they are being properly disposed of

if your memory usage continuously rises even after these garbage collection events, such that you eventually reach an Out Of Memory error, then that is indicative of a memory leak

[minor summit]

what if I have an infinite amount of memory

[next notch]

give me.

[minor summit]

it's mine get your own

[nocturne dust]

rude

[hushed veldt]

Skript would still take it

[nocturne dust]

also, check DM's! (about BetterJails)

[empty frost]

i was wondering how you get an ecloud account, i want to start uploading some of my projects but i don't know how

[robust crow]

Can you link us to one of the projects first?

[neon pewter]

does anyone know why there is no missing comment complain for constants in my Vault record but for other records there are? (also apply to other records too but i already add document to those) ?

[sterile hinge]

I assume this is produced by javadoc?

it looks like the warning isn't related to records but comes from the inner classes, and the difference there is the visibility

[neon pewter]

i just double checked, yeah those are from the inner class, trying to get away with not commenting those composite constants as much as possible

[sterile hinge]

well you can either make them private as well or disable the warning

[twin trench]

Happy New Year! 🎉✨🥳🎆🎊
As we step into a fresh new year, many founders and teams are full of new energy and new goals—but one of the biggest challenges in building a project still isn’t the idea.
It’s finding the right engineers to bring it to life.
Great execution takes engineers who are technically strong, communicate clearly, deliver on time, collaborate smoothly across global time zones, and understand the importance of SEO and influence.
I won’t claim perfection, but I’m always working to improve.
I’d be excited to work with you and help push it forward.

[spiral prairie]

Happy New Year to you as well — 🎉✨🥳 — and thank you for this thoughtfully energetic reflection on momentum, execution, alignment, delivery, communication, time zones, SEO, influence, improvement, and the forward motion of vision itself.

As we collectively step into this fresh new year — full of possibility, intention, and well-formatted enthusiasm — it’s always encouraging to encounter messages that remind us that while ideas may spark — it is execution that truly executes.

At the same time — and I say this with the utmost respect for ambition and outreach — I must acknowledge that this message has arrived here with a confidence that suggests it knows exactly where it meant to go — even if reality may have had other routing plans.

That said — I appreciate the initiative, the optimism, the self-awareness, and the commitment to continuous improvement — all foundational pillars of modern collaboration — especially when delivered with such seasonal conviction.

Wishing you clarity, traction, and highly relevant inbox placement in the year ahead — and should our paths ever intentionally cross, I trust the context will be unmistakable.

[icy shadow]

This is actually so true

[icy shadow]

Yeah maybe that’s giving them too much credit

[teal temple]

I have my homework project built with laravel+react
And the goal is to upgrade this project.
If anyone can help me, please DM me and discuss budget of this project

Chatgpt is going wild

[oblique thicket]

https://paste.helpch.at/mizuwogogi.css is my error

[dense drift]

Is this from your own plugin? If so, you are including PAPI in your jar, don't do that.

[oblique thicket]

I dont include that in my jar

https://paste.helpch.at/coqufodocu.js

[normal quarry]

No i think skyslycer is unemployed

[spiral prairie]

I have to be employed to pay for ChatGPT lol

shit's expensive

[scenic vapor]

Gemini on top

it also is cheap

am using Gemini flash

[dense drift]

Then mare sure to add a depend / softDepend in your plugin.yml

[scenic vapor]

this sht is cheap af

am using it in Intellij

[dark garnet]

can https://helpch.at/docs/ be updated to include 1.21.9 and 1.21.10 pls 🥺

[minor summit]

jd.papermc.io/paper/1.21.9

[dark garnet]

yay!!!! thank you :))

[minor summit]

good

[torn heart]

please stop the spigot nonsense

as, stop using it

[oblique thicket]

I did in my paper-plugin.yml

[minor summit]

you are aware that the way you specify plugin dependencies is different when using paper-plugin.yml than if you're using plugin.yml

yes?

[scenic vapor]

ig u know the answer xD

[minor summit]

huh

[oblique thicket]

So I should do what?

[minor summit]

read up on what the dependency declaration format is on paper-plugin.yml and add the PlaceholderAPI dependency accordingly

https://docs.papermc.io/paper/dev/getting-started/paper-plugins/#dependency-declaration

[oblique thicket]

Ok thanks

I see, I did that with Papi but then CommandAPI wouldnt work

that it is sure that he/she was not aware of it

[halcyon wadi]

is there a backport for 1.21.11

[minor summit]

of what? also "backport" to the latest available version doesn't make much sense so I guess the answer is no

[pulsar ferry]

I guess we shall also never know backport of what lol

[halcyon wadi]

Help

how do I update my servers world to 1.21.11 from 1.21.10

I don’t want it to reset

[halcyon wadi]

Like my server is 1.9+ and people want 1.21.11 features

We have 1.21.10 features

They want the spear and cute mobs

[pulsar ferry]

You want 1.21.11 features but allowing 1.19 to join?

[plain lagoon]

swap out the server jar and use viaversion to allow other versions to join too

[halcyon wadi]

but the world is already loaded

i need to update the world for new features

[plain lagoon]

yeah, delete your old server jar, and swap it with a new server jar, dont delete or move world or plugin folders

make a backup of /world, /world_nether, /world_the_end if you are not sure or scared that it will get deleted

but if you just swap out the server jars, it shouldnt delete or wipe anything

[proud pebble]

swapping the server jar from 1.21.10 to 1.21.11 should automatically update the world, ofcourse make a backup of the world before you do this just to be on the safe side, then you will have to update your plugins ofcourse more specifically viaversion since that doesnt tend to just work on newer versions without an update

[shell moon]

When using WrapperPlayServerDestroyEntities (PacketEvents) how to "restore" the entity? (its a player, or maybe another entity)

any easy way to do it? (Maybe adding luck potion to force the server to send the player packet) or better yet, using PacketEvents?

...

[dense nova]

what?

oh i cant send that here?

mb ill delete

[shell moon]

idk if telling people to check requests is allowed, i guess it is but hasnt seen people doing it

however, making it free and paid

lol

[dense nova]

yea idk where to put it

[shell moon]

if you pay, paid

[dense nova]

bc its a longterm project

[shell moon]

if yoou dont plan to pay free

[dense nova]

i can in future

[shell moon]

then remove it from paid channel

[dense nova]

share shares

[shell moon]

if you dont plan to pay

otherwise is lying

[dense nova]

tysm

removed

:)))

[torn heart]

spawn it again with a spawn packet and the necessary entity data

[shell moon]

But if its a player, what to do exactly?

Have no idea about PacketEvents

in PRotocolLib i usually send update packet

but i dont think there is one in PAcketEvents

[torn heart]

all the packets are the same

they're a light API on top of Minecraft's network code

just look at what protocollib does

[shell moon]

    public void updateEntity(Entity entity, List<Player> observers) {
        if (entity != null && entity.isValid()) {
            Collection<?> trackedPlayers = this.getTrackedPlayers(entity);
            List<Object> nmsPlayers = this.unwrapBukkit(observers);
            List<Object> removingEntries = MinecraftVersion.CAVES_CLIFFS_1.atOrAbove() ? this.getPlayerConnections(nmsPlayers) : nmsPlayers;
            trackedPlayers.removeAll(removingEntries);
            Object trackerEntry = this.getEntityTrackerEntry(entity.getWorld(), entity.getEntityId());
            ((MethodAccessor)this.scanPlayersMethods.computeIfAbsent(trackerEntry.getClass(), this::findScanPlayers)).invoke(trackerEntry, new Object[]{nmsPlayers});
        }
    }

[minor summit]

why don't you just use the entity visibility API?

Player#hideEntity/showEntity

and Entity#setInvisibleByDefault or whatever that's called

[mighty badge]

hey is it possible to save keybinds using packetevents in a plugin?

or do I need a custom mod for it that works along with plugin

[sterile hinge]

What are you trying to do

[mighty badge]

I am coding an ability plugin using highly packetevents

I managed to code the first 2 abilities

now, I am trying to archieve packet based gui

 public void openCellSelectionGUI(@NotNull Player player) {
        // Check if player already has a locked cell
        plugin.getDatabaseManager().loadPlayerData(player.getUniqueId())
                .thenAccept(data -> {
                    if (data != null && data.cellLocked()) {
                        player.sendMessage(Component.text("You have already selected a cell!", NamedTextColor.RED));
                        return;
                    }

                    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(plugin, () -> {
                        // Create cell selection GUI
                        openGUIs.put(player.getUniqueId(), GUIType.CELL_SELECTION);

                        // Send open window packet
                        WrapperPlayServerOpenWindow openPacket = new WrapperPlayServerOpenWindow(
                                CELL_SELECTION_WINDOW_ID,
                                WrapperPlayServerOpenWindow.BuiltInInventoryType.GENERIC_9X3,
                                Component.text("Select Your Cell", NamedTextColor.GOLD, TextDecoration.BOLD)
                        );
                        PacketEvents.getAPI().getPlayerManager().sendPacket(player, openPacket);

                        // Populate GUI with cells
                        populateCellSelectionGUI(player);
                    });
                });
    }

FIXED!!

[grave sky]

why not use the bukkit inventory api?

[mighty badge]

Cannot resolve symbol 'BuiltInInventoryType' >.<

[mighty badge]

packet > bukkit api

plus secure

no abuse using gui and etc

i could use larkyy 's menu api

but it is written in Kt coroutines

it might break stuff

[grave sky]

tbh packet based inventories wont give you any real benefit here its mostly just extra work and you end up handling a lot more stuff for no real gain if you stick to the bukkit api and follow proper measures like validating clicks and cancelling unsafe actions you can prevent dupes and stuff

[mighty badge]

my plugin highly based major tasks

using bukkit api wont help

[dense drift]

You can not listen to keyboard events with vanilla MC, only the clicks, movement.

[mighty badge]

do i need to make mod?

[sterile hinge]

The question still is what you want to achieve with it

Some kind of inputs can be detected

[mighty badge]

I wanna listen to keybinds to active the abiltiies

cel = 2 ablities = 2 keybinds

[mighty badge]

anyone knows how to make mod

.<

[torn heart]

google

[torn heart]

this just isn't true as simple as that

you can ensure correctness of state with Bukkit API just fine

issues come from plugin developers not understanding how to do that, not from Bukkit

[minor summit]

yeah, plus I would argue that the API on its own is ensuring a lot of guarantees for you in the first place that you'd need to end up rewriting anyway

plus packets aren't "more secure", whatever that means, or "abuse using gui" uh..

[scenic vapor]

u can use KMenu

[worn jasper]

The one thing I hate about some of ur stuff is it all being packet based

[scenic vapor]

oh well yes and no. The thing is that you can be any good and still make mistakes - that's normal. Tho you can have a menus system that counts with issues and if anyone would break, players wouldn't be able to take the items out of it still. Additionally using packet menus you can modify the bottom inventory part without modifying the serverside inventory state

which eliminates the data loss or potential dupe glitches

[scenic vapor]

huh

[worn jasper]

The player inventory part is indeed cool, probs gonna have to do this for runway.

[worn jasper]

Some stuff being packet based when it doesn't need to

[scenic vapor]

well I've just explained why it's useful

what other stuff you consider not useful to be done thru packets?

my blocks? Entities? They do need to be packet based

Holograms too

because of view requirements and per player contexts

[minor summit]

Player#show/hideEntity and Entity#setVisibleByDefault in shambles

[scenic vapor]

it still ticks

[minor summit]

i have no idea what half of that means

display entities don't really tick lol

[scenic vapor]

even tho it's non tickable entity, it still iterates

[minor summit]

and it skips right through

how many entities are we talking about here?

and how many are being shown to any one player?

[scenic vapor]

can be thousands, but ye I get ur point

tho my system ain't just Abt displays

[minor summit]

the client will shit the bed before it's a problem for the server

[scenic vapor]

and my systems are in Coroutine contexts, i would need to switch to bukkit ctx just to spawn an entity

[minor summit]

and what's the problem with that

[scenic vapor]

performance

[minor summit]

lol

[scenic vapor]

spawning and destroying entities does take performance

[minor summit]

a player merely existing is far faaaaar more intensive than spawning and destroying entities

[river solstice]

true that, player moving their mouse probably is N times performance heavier than iterating and skipping over 100s, if not more, entities

[worn jasper]

yeah

I mean, KMenu is a good place to use packets

specially maybe in Runway....

👀

[wanton venture]

Hi, I'm making a plugin where users can earn achievements, but I'm wondering if I should set all the achievements in the code.

Or they could create a configuration so they can create their own achievements. I thought maybe achievements based on placeholders, for example, using a placeholder to get kills and the value it should have.

But the only way I can think of to know when the achievement is reached is by validating the placeholder = value, but I don't think that's the best idea.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

[sterile hinge]

Why not use the advancement system?

[wanton venture]

Would that be better?

Can you explain a little bit about what it's like?

[sterile hinge]

well that already provides ways to detect specific kinds of changes

I don't even know if I ever used it directly, but it sounds like it already covers much of what you're trying to do

[wanton venture]

But would the game's achievements be based on detecting when a value changes?

Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskAsynchronously(plugin, () -> {
                        String sql = "MERGE INTO users (uuid, username, status) KEY(uuid) VALUES (?, ?, ?)";

                        try (PreparedStatement pstmt = plugin.getDatabase().prepareStatement(sql)) {
                            pstmt.setString(1, player.getUniqueId().toString());
                            pstmt.setString(2, player.getName());
                            pstmt.setString(3, finalStatus);
                            pstmt.executeUpdate();

                            player.sendMessage(MessagesUtils.getColoredMessage(LumiProfile.prefix + "&a¡Estado actualizado!"));
                        } catch (SQLException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    });```

        try (PreparedStatement pstmt = plugin.getDatabase().prepareStatement(sql)) {
            pstmt.setString(1, player.getUniqueId().toString());
            ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
            if (rs.next()) {
                playerStatus = rs.getString("status");
            }
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }```

This is how I save and retrieve a value from the h2 database. My question is whether it's optimal to read the database every time I need to retrieve something.

They told me to save it in a HashMap at startup and get the information from it, but would that be more efficient?

[lyric sun]

Yes, take a look at Caching strategies and their benefits/down-sides, stale data is a thing too. You could take a use of Caffeine (library) and instead of using bukkit's thread pool (e.g runTaskAsynchronously), you could make use of your own ThreadPool - ExecutorService class with Executors, could be virtual thread pool too with CompletableFuture

[lyric sun]

dont read it in the main thread, otherwise it's fine, caching will be helpful when you have lots of reads, when your response latency increase you'll notice that you might want to have some sort of cache

[wanton venture]

So is it better to store the database in a HashMap and retrieve the information from there?

[scenic vapor]

^ it also really depends on how you would be handling the cache, how heavy ur queries are, etc. In many cases cache is not really needed and writing stuff directly to DB is just enough.
Essentially this is also what backends usually do. When a data is changed, server sends a req to backend and backend forwards this data to both DB and Redis, so the state is up to date in both sqls.

it may be useful to cache stuff for like placeholders and some visual stuff, tho for actual changes, its absolutely alright to send the update queries directly to the DB without having a save pool that saves data from ur cache

[river solstice]

there is no one key fits all, as larky said, it really depends on the situation
it depends how often you read and write (does it scale with player count, etc), how beefy is your system, do you care how much network bandwidth you use

most of the time it is completely fine to have no cache layer mainly because the databases can easily handle 100s if not 1000s of queries (varies between the driver, h2/sqlite/mysql/etc) per second

obviously you could just load in the data into some sort of data structure when the server starts which would probably save you some queries, but also be vary about memory usage, you wouldnt want to load millions of rows into memory

as for saving, just run an async save query, I wouldn't bother saving them into a data structure and then offloading it into the database on server stop or periodically

[scenic vapor]

yea DBs can handle literal thousands queries a second without a single problem

so doing writes everytime anything changes is absolutely fine

but its def great to cache some stuff - for purposes like placeholders -> as they need to be sync - retrieved instantly basically

and also leaderboards

leaderboards are quite heavy operation, not THAT heavy, but it is not worth it having the leaderboard always updated

so you can do like 5 minute pool

[river solstice]

yep

[scenic vapor]

Also a pretty great suggestion was given. Use the virtual threads, they are super useful for IO

Caffeine is also cool, tho I usually just use a HashMap and clear the player's data on PlayerQuit

^ Caffeine is cool in cases you would be retrieving offline player's data - using Caffeine u apply TTL to it, so it clear itself after some time, so you dont have to handle this urself.

again, great just for visual purposes

not actual logics like comparing currency balance, etc.

[wanton venture]

Okay, I understand, thank you very much for the help/suggestions.

[river solstice]

you dont need fancy libraries to achieve that

[scenic vapor]

ye tho its not worth it writing your own solution for something that already exists and works pretty well without any issues or needs for more features

[river solstice]

why import such a big library when you most likely need a single class, maybe two

https://github.com/LuckPerms/LuckPerms/blob/master/common/src/main/java/me/lucko/luckperms/common/cache/ExpiringCache.java

I literally have something similar to this and it does the job quite well

the entire caffeine library is like a 1mb

im not saying its a lot, but it becomes a dependency that you have to update in case of vulnerabilities and what not

[scenic vapor]

yeh thats tru

[minor summit]

there is one size fits all it's call dump it in a text file

[minor summit]

like, what do you think mysql does behind the scenes?

it has an accountant in there writing everything in a text file

[river solstice]

yes but that accountant is very smart

Hello guys! I have a question — or more like a problem.
I’m building a Minecraft Bedrock server with a Middle Ages theme. I need to build a lot of things like farms, houses, paths, and other structures.

Right now I’m building alone. I do all the commands and everything by myself, but I need the server to be ready by the next vacation so people can join and enjoy it.

Is there anyone here who can help me build things for my Minecraft server?
If you can help, or if you know someone who can, please add me and message me or reply to this comment. Thanks!

I'm making a custom profile plugin; for now, it only puts the name in the inventory and centers it depending on the characters in the name, and displays Stats, Money, Armor, and the custom status.

You can also define the profile theme.

I want to create an achievement system where, as an admin, you can set achievements. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to do this, and a couple of other suggestions?

[scenic vapor]

Oh niiice, I used to work on something like this

its quite fun

[worn jasper]

looks hella cool

[worn jasper]

I mean, where are you stuck exactly? Sounds trivial

[scenic vapor]

glad to see someone else using glyphs in the Menus like this

[wanton venture]

It's almost too good, to be honest.

[wanton venture]

In truth, in the part about achievements

To enable them to create achievements in a file and have the plugin do the rest

[worn jasper]

I mean yeah

that works

so what's the issue

[wanton venture]

And some ideas, things to add, etc.

[wanton venture]

I don't know how I could make it happen

[worn jasper]

reading an yaml file?

[wanton venture]

The whole achievement system is an idea I have, but I don't know how to implement it.

[worn jasper]

you just said it

I'd just create different achievement types, then read an yaml, convert the sections to those classes, and then just keep track of things

it also highly depends on what exactly the achievements are, if they are fully reliant on MC statistics themselves, might be pretty easy to implement, if it's more complex stuff, then you'd have to track each thing yourself.

[scenic vapor]

tho pretty hard to setup

[wanton venture]

Let's say I have the plugin read the settings, how would I be checking that these are being met?

[scenic vapor]

customers usually got issues with understanding how this sht works

[wanton venture]

In fact, I found myself getting stuck in one part

And I'm still stuck

[scenic vapor]

whats the issue?

[wanton venture]

https://imgur.com/a/MrWez5e

Basically, the range prefix should go below the name.

[scenic vapor]

ah that it is 1 pixel off?

[wanton venture]

My current configuration is as follows: in the config.yml file, you assign the ranges with a numerical value that is the prefix dimension. When you open the menu, it retrieves the player's range by searching in the configuration.

You center the prefix depending on the image size

[scenic vapor]

you have got this automatic, right?

and ur using glyph widths to calculate the placements

[wanton venture]

And you must have the Unicode of the font image as the prefix of the range in lp

The problem is that I couldn't find a way to move the prefix image down.

I tried using a font with a different ascent, but it doesn't download the bitmaps, only the letters.

The only way I saw was to change the bitmap ascender of the prefix, but that's not a good idea since you'd need two images of the same thing: one normal for general use and another for the menu.

[wanton venture]

Yes

[scenic vapor]

Have in mind that while having the widths, you need to add +1

[wanton venture]

Use a TFF font for the text style; I created an enum where I assigned the px values for each letter.

[scenic vapor]

bcs minecraft adds +1 pixel space automatically

after each glyph

[wanton venture]

Yes, I just realized.

But my main problem is being able to move the glyph down without modifying the ascent or creating another glyph

I saw that you can achieve something like NegativeSpaceFont, which is for moving text backward, but I don't know how to make it go down.

[scenic vapor]

you cannot do that

you cannot move a glyph up and down

you need to make another glyph for this

[wanton venture]

He had succeeded on the first try.

But it only worked in the chat

[scenic vapor]

You can only achieve that using shaders

[wanton venture]

/tellraw @a ["Texto Normal ", {"text": "\uF82F[prefix]", "color": "gold"}]

https://imgur.com/a/ZS8Asg8

If I used it in chat, it seemed to go down, but it disappeared from the inventory.

[scenic vapor]

oh ur using shaders for it?

[wanton venture]

I was thinking maybe the admin could use their RP to retrieve the rank glyphs and make a copy with a different ascent, but I don't know, I don't really like that idea.

[wanton venture]

Nope

[scenic vapor]

so how do you move it up and down

[wanton venture]

Wait for me

[wanton venture]

{"file":"char/black.png","chars":[""],"height":-1027,"ascent":-5000,"type":"bitmap"}],"gui_light":"front"}

I had done something like this before, but I don't remember.

[scenic vapor]

huh, hows that capable of moving it up & down

this is just one huge negative pixel that moves it to left

[wanton venture]

I'd like to give you a logical explanation, but even I didn't understand it.

But anyway, since you have more experience, do you have any idea?

[scenic vapor]

not really, Ive never seen anyone being able to achieve moving of glyphs up/down

only using shaders

but am not a huge fan of shaders

[wanton venture]

The only one I see is this one, but I think it would be difficult.

First, to find out which glyphs the ranks have, by making a copy I can figure out which ascendant to apply; it's not difficult.

[scenic vapor]

I will be working on a library for Glyph management, so I can send it to you afterwards

tho its gonna be done in Kotlin

so yeeeh not too useful for u

[wanton venture]

I work at Maven

But I'll have to leave that for later.

I'll focus on achievements or new features if I come up with any.

The theme buttons are on the base texture; I only have air-type items for the actions.

The detail is in the on and off switches, as these change and are located between 3 slots.

I don't know if just creating three items and having them change to the other option when clicked is enough.

Or reduce the design to just 1 item

[modern siren]

You could have those labels as another texture and then position them using spacing characters, you would have the same issue with clicking but changing the texture is as simple as changing the menus title

Hello, I'm getting this error when building Failed to connect to repo.helpch.at port 443 after 21248 ms: Could not connect to server Is there any workaround on this? Might be due to connection timeout

[tame charm]

Hi all,
Hoping someone has experience with intelliJ docker plugin.
I'm not too experienced with docker, however trying to learn a bit more.
I have a docker instance running on my server. On my local machine I have a project I'm working on in intelliJ.

In that project, I have multiple microservices that each run in there own container, I then have a docker-compose file that builds them all.

Previously I had my intelliJ run configuration set to run the docker-compose file, and I'm not sure how I had it configured, however it would upload my images to the remote server, and start them up for me.

After taking a months break from the project, I've come back and it told me it could not find the docker compose cmd. I tried reconnecting it to the server, and no luck. I found some things online saying I needed to install the docker CLI, so I can now run docker & docker compose on my local machine, however now when I use my run configuration, my project takes like 5-10 minutes to upload & start services running (previously it took less than a minute).

I found online some things saying it may be as it's running locally as well as remote, however I'm not really fully understanding it, hoping someone can help me clarify. Happy to share run configs if necessary to help!

Any hlep is much appreciated

[icy shadow]

there should be some option called "build on remote" or similar somewhere

[tame charm]

That's what I was thinking, but I can't seem to find it anywhere

Also strange that it just stopped working after no changes, just not using it for a month... Gotta love development haha

[icy shadow]

can you send a screenshot of your intellij docker config setup thing?

not sure the actual term lmao

[tame charm]

https://imgur.com/a/fLaYtaO

Thats for the run config

[icy shadow]

imgur is blocked in the uk 🥲 would you mind using another service lmao

my vpn is not working rn

[tame charm]

This is for the Docker config

Ah yeah two secs

ty yea working

uh what happens if you click the ... here

[tame charm]

Just brings me to the docker config

[icy shadow]

ok ok give me a sec

[icy shadow]

@tame charm im assuming you have fixed this now right?

[tame charm]

Nah I've been playing around with it for ages and my whole intelliJ started tweaking out lmao

But no I still can't get rid of that error

If I change it to use TCP socket instead of SSH it seems to remove the error and it says conection successful

[icy shadow]

is your server supposed to have a local ip?

hmm

[tame charm]

yeah it's just a local server

[icy shadow]

ah i see

[tame charm]

not localhost tho its like intellij is tryna connect to a docker sever on my own machine

[icy shadow]

yeah im not sure i just tested docker remote on my vps and it worked fine

right

[tame charm]

Like that failed to connect to docker API thing makes it look like it's tryna connect to my dev machine doesnt it?

[icy shadow]

isnt that the idea?

[tame charm]

Like my server is 192.168.0.111, that error is tryna connect to localhost isn't it?

[icy shadow]

oh

yeah thats a good point

sorry im a bit sleepy

[tame charm]

all good, I might just fully remove all my configs and re add and see how I go

[icy shadow]

yeah try making the ssh config again

[tame charm]

It's just so weird, was literally working fine like a month ago, I haven't touched anything and now its cooked

[tame charm]

ok idk why but changing it from password auth to keypair fixed it 🙄

Do you trust the client to know if it's a .jar file?

1. It appears that the browser sends the basic binary type without assigning the correct MIME type.
2. First of all, I have tested it on several browsers. -> Same output (Chrome, Brave, Opera, Firefox and Edge)
3. I also checked if there was a problem with the assignments of my .jar files as .jar files. I used Jarfix in case that was my problem -> It didn't solve it.
4. When i use "inputHTML.files[0].type" only get "" type.
5. Finally follow this StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51724649/mime-type-of-file-returning-empty-in-javascript-on-some-machines (The best StackOverflow)

[indigo cloak]

Hi, I have a plugin that connects to Discord. The issue is that I need to save information coming from Discord to the plugin's local database on the server.

I recently established a connection using a MongoDB database; the issue is that I need to transfer the information from the bot's database back to the server's local database.

Would I have to use WebSockets for this? Or is there an alternative?

[merry knoll]

i wouldnt use sockets directly, you can host a rest api or use a message server in between

[merry knoll]

rabbitmq, redis etc works it depends on your data flow but i would question why you are storing the data in two different places first tbh

[indigo cloak]

One is the Discord bot's database, and the other would be from the plugin on the server.

[scenic vapor]

confusion

why not just one?

[indigo cloak]

The server database can be a local H2 or MongoDB, and it's where the server information/plugin data is stored.

And the bot database is where I store information about the bot itself and the Discord server.

How do I store my bot's information in each server's database? XD

[scenic vapor]

well use MQ then imo

you have shared 0 info abt ur system and what ur trying to achieve...

different flow requires different stack

[indigo cloak]

Unless it only stores the information in the server's database and makes requests to the plugin when necessary

[indigo cloak]

It's currently a system for linking your Minecraft and Discord accounts.

The command generates a code that is uploaded to the bot's database. On Discord, you can use a command with this code to obtain the Minecraft and Discord names. Now, this information needs to be returned to the server.

[scenic vapor]

well if you want these as separate systems, use Redis then and store codes with TTL

[indigo cloak]

But that would be a small part of what it would have

[scenic vapor]

redis also has MQ

so that would be all u need basically

[indigo cloak]

Something else would be direct messages on both platforms.

[indigo cloak]

Can Redis and MQ also store data?

[scenic vapor]

Redis is for cache

MQ is for message queue

[indigo cloak]

It's good for these functions, maybe so, but for example, if I need to get something from the Discord server, I could do it the same way, right?

[indigo cloak]

Oh

[scenic vapor]

why would u store data in 2 different DBs then when u wanna have discord data on MC and vise versa?

you would need to create a service for retrieving the data otherwise

[indigo cloak]

I suppose Redis could work

[scenic vapor]

redis is not for storing data

its for caching

[indigo cloak]

Although I think MQ might be better suited for a messaging system

[scenic vapor]

redis is for caching and messages

it has both

[scenic vapor]

this is why most of such public systems host dc bot in the plugin directly - its just for an easy access and installation

[indigo cloak]

Redis to request information that would be stored on the server

Basically as a messenger for both

[scenic vapor]

you want to have replies?

[indigo cloak]

That would help, but I don't want to do it that way.

[indigo cloak]

It was like a confirmation

[scenic vapor]

welp then u gonna want to use RPC

so u can use RabbitMQ

Redis does not have message replies

and making ur own RPC using redis aint worth it

[indigo cloak]

Then it would fit your MQ experience better.

[merry knoll]

i mean rabbit also makes you implement your own rpc

well kinda

[scenic vapor]

well yes and no, I mean its already kind of designed like RPC

def better than using redis pub/sub

[merry knoll]

ye if you only need messaging, no point in redis

[scenic vapor]

he quite literally wants to have endpoints on both MC and Discord

[merry knoll]

but their issue is probably solved easier with a shared db or a backend

[scenic vapor]

yea

thats what I was saying too

[indigo cloak]

But I would have to host the bot in the same plugin, right?

[merry knoll]

no?

why would you host the bot in the plugin anyway

[indigo cloak]

.

[scenic vapor]

am saying what most public systems do

[merry knoll]

you will already have a mq between em, if you will only have one server then that works fine

[scenic vapor]

I was saying that bcs I was not sure if you are planning doing this public or not

bcs u have mentioned h2

[merry knoll]

but for anything a bit more complex, you do need to handle state properly

[scenic vapor]

and other dbs

[indigo cloak]

The plugin stores its information in h2 or in a MongoDB database

I got a little lost, but I'll have to investigate further how Redis and MQ work (which I didn't know about).

[scenic vapor]

whats the reason

[merry knoll]

bossman, you probably

just want to share mongo between your plugin(s) + your discord bot

[indigo cloak]

I also appreciate that they took the time to respond and try to help.

[merry knoll]

and just query it for shared data

[scenic vapor]

+1

[merry knoll]

from the sound of your setup and questions that is

[scenic vapor]

ur overcomplicating it

while not understanding the stack

[merry knoll]

drop h2 as well since it doesnt make sense to store in 2 different places at the same time

use one shared database for permanent state and since your plugin is on the same instance as your discord, just do method calls for communication as needed

[indigo cloak]

Well, the owner can choose where to store their information, whether it will be on just one server or more.

[merry knoll]

if multiple servers the whole multiple discord instances (aka 1 per plugin) stop making sense

in that case, you probably want to do 1 mongo, 1 discord bot instance and n server instances

you can probably avoid messaging if you dont need to handle events between instances (command on bot -> stuff on server, or event on server -> stuff on discord)

if you need to notify either then you need a messaging system

either redis or rabbitmq in your case

[indigo cloak]

I was going to add a cross-platform messaging system, so MQ lends itself well to that.

[merry knoll]

if you also need a shared cache

then redis makes more sense

as it supports memory cache + basic pub sub

[indigo cloak]

But for example, if you send a Discord message to the server and it's turned off, it gets lost.

And I think that doesn't happen with MQ since he waits for it to be received

Based on my research

[merry knoll]

ye, rabbit mq has queues that can guarantee that a message is received

[indigo cloak]

How convenient would it be to use MQ only for this messaging system?

And the rest that adapts with Redis

[merry knoll]

you do not need rpc for that either, you fire and forget and depending on how the queue is configured (this is what receives and sends the message to your receiving server) it will be received there when it goes live

rabbit is simple with good documentation
https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-one-java

[indigo cloak]

This comment is about MQ, right?

[merry knoll]

yes

mq != rabbit btw

[indigo cloak]

?

[merry knoll]

rabbit is just one of em

mq's are made for this so, quite convenient

redis one is barebones, but it also does the job so you dont need to double host

main part you miss will be the queue messages to deliver if receiver is offline thing

rest is semi there

[indigo cloak]

Okay, I'll take it upon myself to look into MQ more.

But I do think it's for the best.

[merry knoll]

rabbit has java specific tutorials

just check those out, it also has RPC implementation if you need that

[indigo cloak]

I'll look into how to host RabbitMQ to test it.

[graceful hedge]

There's also the option of just having a simple server w some sockets (not saying this is what you want, but more so just an alternative). I think @torpid raft got some library for that in case you'd be interested ^^

[raw mural]

Hey, I hope this is the right channel for this - I'm trying to add the dependency me.clip:placeholderapi-paper:2.12.1 in my build.gradle.kts but when I try to build, it can't find it in the repository repo.extendedclip.com/releases/ provided in the PAPI dev docs. Is there a separate repo for this dependency?

[robust crow]

It's probably on our helpchat repo

repo.helpch.at

[raw mural]

thanks!

[robust crow]

Yeah it's the more updated one

[raw mural]

hmmm, doesn't seem like it. I'm probably missing something, but both repos have placeholderapi, but not the paper version (placeholderapi-paper). The docs do say that dependency is optional, so shall I just ignore it?

[robust crow]

Erh I'm on mobile so can't check for certain, give it a go and see for now

I feel like that wiki page is wrong but we'll see

I think it was originally going to be separate for paper but believe it's just one jar again

[raw mural]

yeah, it works just fine without it - as long as the dependency is added in the paper-plugin.yml and set to load: BEFORE

[robust crow]

Yeah checked the wiki, seems to snuck past our proof read. @somber gale when you get a sec pls drop the optional part of that bit

https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/developers/using-placeholderapi/#set-placeholderapi-as-softdepend

[dusky harness]

shouldn't it stay? since paper plugins default to required: true

oh

talking about the buildscript

didn't even realize PAPI had that but that's neat lol

[celest hazel]

Hi 👋 trying to add support here for my Hytale mod since this is now ported but it seems I'm running into issues.

I'm testing as per https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/developers/using-placeholderapi/#setting-placeholders-in-your-plugin but looks like
⁨```java
player.sendMessage(PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(Message.raw("Welcome %player_name%!"), player))

should be
⁨```
player.sendMessage(PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player.getPlayerRef(), Message.raw("Welcome %player_name%!")))
```⁩
and it looks like the ⁨`%player_name%`⁩ isn't being replaced so I'm not sure the mod is working correctly or if hytale doesn't use ⁨`%player_name%`⁩

[minor summit]

well, did you install the player expansion?

[robust crow]

Correct, also as Emily said check you have the player expansion installed. PlaceholderAPI doesn't ship with any inbuilt placeholders

[robust crow]

https://ecloud.placeholderapi.com/expansions/player-hytale/, you can download in game if you're on the non-curseforge version

[robust crow]

(wiki should be fixed now)

[celest hazel]

I am using the maven version as I'm doing this all in dev, adding that does allow %player_name% to indeed work. However my own custom expansion for some reason isn't working:
⁨[PlaceholderAPI|P] Successfully registered internal expansion: LevelingCore [0.9.4]⁩
I see it registered it but using it like so:
⁨player.sendMessage(PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player.getPlayerRef(), Message.raw("Welcome %player_name%! You are level %levelingcore_level%")));⁩ is not working.

Am I doing something incorrect here? https://github.com/AzureDoom/LevelingCore/blob/main/src/main/java/com/azuredoom/levelingcore/compat/placeholderapi/LevelingCoreExpansion.java

I am registering it here per the docs:
https://github.com/AzureDoom/LevelingCore/blob/main/src/main/java/com/azuredoom/levelingcore/LevelingCore.java#L113-L115 (Uncommented locally of course)

[wheat carbon]

@celest hazel ur identifier is set to "LevelingCore" not "levelingcore"

I think it's case sensitive

also params will just be equal to "level"

or "xp"

get rid of the levelingcore_

can join us in vc if that doesn't work

btw we were actually just about to make an expansion for ur plugin aha

[celest hazel]

Testing now!

Oh nice! haha glad I was a head of the game haha

It worked!

[wheat carbon]

awesome

[celest hazel]

Where you guys gonna do just level and xp or more entries? Gonna expand it like it here likely to cover my stats as well here locally.

[wheat carbon]

we hadn't looked at it yet tbh, your plugin was just on the list

[robust crow]

It's a big list...

[celest hazel]

I feel that haha

[robust crow]

But happy to have you aboard!

[gleaming nacelle]

Hi guys, I've got some dependency issues which I'm not sure how to handle. I've got my libraries shaded and relocated, but that doesn't include their transitive dependencies. One of the libraries my plugin uses depends on some other common libraries such as gson or protobuf, and depending on the server version or other plugins it conflicts with other versions of the same library. Should I relocate those transitive dependencies too? I'm not sure if that would be a nad practice, because I would need to relocate each common library such as gson, jackson or org.json (my dependencies use each one of those libraries) and perhaps many I'll be missing. Is there a way to relocate my dependency and its own dependencies?

[torn heart]

can you not use spigot's library API?

but unless you want to load libraries dynamically at runtime, then packaging your dependencies in the same jar file is common. the extra 50MB of RAM it costs will almost certainly be much less than the atrocious memory usage decisions minecraft plugins tend to cause in general due to bad decisions

[dusky harness]

besides what ixume mentioned, you can just unzip your plugin and relocate all the packages that you see (besides your own)

[pure crater]

i often use https://jdec.app/ to view contents of JAR fast

but yes, you can relocate them, but be careful

certain SQL drivers or libraries that use native JNI bindings will throw exceptions if they get relocated

[gleaming nacelle]

Last time I tried it wasn’t possible to relocate packages and transitive dependencies were clashing

[gleaming nacelle]

Wouldn’t I need to change code references too? Anyways that would require a lot of work to do this to every dependency

[gleaming nacelle]

I used to use Libby which would do the work but I ran into some problems that would need to be fixed before I can continue using it

[dusky harness]

wdym?

relocating should handle that for you

[scenic vapor]

if they use gson, just exclude gson from shading

server sw already is has gson

[chrome totem]

Hello. I have a problem. My placeholder isnt giving any value. It is registered as I can see in the console and in the /papi list but when I do /papi parse me %my_placeholder% it just shows the placeholder in the chat.

[chrome totem]

https://pastes.dev/aUNUoEOtD5

Here is my code

https://pastes.dev/kvryPPVruk

And here is how am I registering it in onEnable

[robust crow]

Identifier should be similar to the plugin name, then on placeholder request is where you check the second half of the placeholder

Eg, %myplugin_coins%

Myplugin is the identifier and coins is the actual thing we are checking for on placeholder request

Take a look at the wiki

https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/developers/creating-a-placeholderexpansion/#full-example-internal

[chrome totem]

@robust crow https://pastes.dev/Fd1YLhbDqS ok and if I have something like this how would the placeholder look like? cmbedwars_arena_mode?

[robust crow]

Correct

Im struggling getting placeholderapi-paper; it doesnt download with the gradle example, and i dont see it in the releases repo, so i ended up using me.clip:placeholderapi-paper:2.11.8-DEV-228 with the https://repo.extendedclip.com/snapshots/ repo; even still i can't find any way to use components in this version

[pulsar ferry]

Gradle example seems to be outdated, use https://repo.helpch.at instead of https://repo.extendedclip.com

[unborn glade]

both redirect to the same place when i put that into my browser

i see no noticable changes between the two either

[broken elbow]

You can still give https://repo.helpch.at/snapshots a try though. Also, they don't redirect. They are different repositories.

[wheat carbon]

@unborn glade it's in the main papi release

they're not separate modules

just me.clip:placeholderapi:2.12.2

will update the docs soon

[unborn glade]

i see

[wheat carbon]

also it's a diff class called PAPIComponents

[silent talon]

public void sendDeathMessage(Participant deadParticipant) {
    String deathMessage = deadParticipant.getDeathMessage();
    DeathCause deathCause = deadParticipant.getDeathCause();
    TagResolver.Builder resolver = TagResolver.builder()
            .resolver(TagResolver.resolver("player", getColoredNameResolver(deadParticipant)));
    if (deadParticipant.getLastAttacker() != null) resolver = resolver.resolver(TagResolver.resolver("killer", getColoredNameResolver(deadParticipant.getLastAttacker())));
    if (deathMessage.isEmpty() && deathCause != null) {
        broadcast(deadParticipant.getDeathCause().getMessage(), resolver.build());
    } else {
        broadcast(deathMessage, resolver.build());
    }
}

Implementation of getColoredNameResolver in a solo match:

public BiFunction<ArgumentQueue, Context, Tag> getColoredNameResolver(Participant participant) {
    return (ArgumentQueue args, Context context) -> {
        Player receiver = context.targetAsType(Player.class);
        Participant receiverParticipant = participant.getProfile().getMatch().getParticipant(receiver);
        return Tag.inserting(CC.returnMessage(receiver,
                (receiverParticipant == null ? MessagesLocale.MATCH_SPECTATOR_TEAM_NAME :
                        participant == receiverParticipant ? MessagesLocale.MATCH_OWN_TEAM_NAME :
                                MessagesLocale.MATCH_OPPONENT_TEAM_NAME).getString(),
                Placeholder.unparsed("name", participant.getName())));
    };
}

This code is supposed to set the color to green if it's themselves and red if it's an enemy.

1. This feels like a really messy way of doing things, is there a better method?
2. The final output:
   Winner: winner was killed by loser (both names are in red)
   Loser: loser was killed by loser (first name is in red, second is in green)
   What causes this unintended result?

[scenic vapor]

now thats a piece of a messy code

[silent talon]

i asked some people over at PaperMC Discord, they said the approach looks fine

the issue still persists though

I checked the logic myself, did a lot of debugging, and theoretically it should be impossible to have the same username twice in the same message

[scenic vapor]

am not saying ur approach is wrong, am just saying it looks messy. Not always it's worth doing everything inlined

[silent talon]

ah, i changed it after i posted here

Hey, I’m looking for a developer who can help me configure a KB (knockback) on a Minecraft server. I’m willing to pay.

[jagged belfry]

#1456082817833242818

[alpine oak]

Ok, i'm sorry

[wild eagle]

In a case like that, what if you don’t know a budget because you don’t know what the services are worth?

I’m going to attempt to learn the skills on my own over the course of the next few months while Hytale develops but if I don’t meet my own deadline, I’d like to know a rough idea of a fair budget for things so I can make sure I have that, if that makes sense

[jagged belfry]

you can just put a range of whatever you are willing to pay and then mention its negotiable and just discuss in dms of whoever contacts you about it

[vestal phoenix]

I've created a simple expansion (https://github.com/RegrowthMC/WorldBorderPlaceholderExpansion) that I thought might be suitable to upload to ecloud, not sure where to ask for support with this though

[wheat carbon]

whats ur ecloud account caleld

nvm

wait yes

sign up to ecloud

I can make u an author

[vestal phoenix]

I think I have with my GitHub which is OakLoaf

[wheat carbon]

u should be able to upload now

[vestal phoenix]

perfect thank you!

[vestal phoenix]

When I try to upload my jar it appears to error, it says "Invalid file type. Only .jar files are allowed. [application/jar]" but the file I am uploading is a jar aha

[wheat carbon]

@robust crow yer shits still broke

@vestal phoenix there's some regeedit fix u can do in the meantime, #development message

[vestal phoenix]

I can't say I quite understand what the fix is here :o

[wheat carbon]

in the stackoverflow

go to the answer

[scenic vapor]

havent visited stackoverflow for quite a bit

[hushed badge]

the SO answer beats around the bush a bit as it was for .csv files. same principle though. basically go to this location in the registry editor: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jar
then make sure to have the following keys/values in there

[vestal phoenix]

Ahh it's missing PerceivedType, and is slightly different in general, can't post pictures but I have:

(Default) - REG_SZ - Zulu.jarfile
Content Type - REG_SZ - application/jar

Uploading Images

You won't be able to upload images here directly to avoid spam, so please use https://imgur.com/upload or similar service to upload images/screenshots.

[vestal phoenix]

is anyone aware of an alternative to imgur? it's blocked in the uk haha

although there isn't much more to see than what i noted

[hushed badge]

thats all u need

just copy mine

[hushed badge]

i have same issue aswell 🥀

[vestal phoenix]

should i adjust the current 2 to replicate yours too?

[hushed badge]

yea i think the important one was the content type iirc

[vestal phoenix]

No luck unfortunately

it looks identical to yours now

[hushed badge]

did u refresh the page before trying to upload jar again

[vestal phoenix]

i take it back

refreshing did indeed resolve it

thank you so much for helping

[hushed badge]

np

[fathom terrace]

i can't add placeholderapi to gradle

what am i doing wrong? https://pastes.dev/W29UvUzD5U

https://imgur.com/a/CSpoSb2

https://prnt.sc/-fqXmAqMMYhu

[wheat carbon]

@fathom terrace u need the helpchat repository

repositories {
    maven {
        url = 'https://repo.extendedclip.com/releases/'
    }
}

[fathom terrace]

but i did

https://prnt.sc/-fqXmAqMMYhu i just used other repository

If I put the repository in the same .kts file where I put compileOnly(placeholderapi....), the dependency will download, but I would like to put it in my root .kts file and not in my paper module; this only causes problems with the papi, not with the other plugins

[fathom terrace]

@wheat carbon do you know why?

[wheat carbon]

uh

it goes in ur build.gradle.kts

not ur settings.gradle.kts

usually

like most of that shit goes into ur build.gradle.kts

the root one

settings.gradle just has the project name and subprojects

could be wrong there's like a million different ways to do subproejct setups with gradle know so who knows

[fathom terrace]

For some reason, in my multi-module plugin, I did it this way, and the repositories work this way (except for papi)

[wheat carbon]

in the build.gradle.kts u pasted for ur subproject, ur applying the paperweight plugin and plugin-yml plugin which probably apply the repos that you already use

so they're not coming from ur settings.gradle they're coming from those plugins I imagine

[fathom terrace]

So supposedly if I add a repository for a plugin I've never used, it will fail?

[wheat carbon]

well it depends if the plugin is hosted in any of the repos provided by those gradle plugins

in ur settings.gradle

add this repo:
https://repo.piggypiglet.me/releases

[fathom terrace]

k

[wheat carbon]

then try use this dependency:
me.piggypiglet:TimeAPI:1.9

if it works then ye there's an issue

if it doesn't, then it's exactly what I said

[fathom terrace]

Yes, it doesn't work, you're right

thanks

https://github.com/NEZNAMY/TAB/blob/master/settings.gradle.kts

I had copied the design from here xd

they have this repository: maven("https://repo.william278.net/releases/") // VelocityScoreboardAPI

[wheat carbon]

ah right

[fathom terrace]

paper doesn't include this

idk how tab compiles then

[wheat carbon]

so that uses the build-logic thing I think

idk I never used that

there's a few diff ways to do subprojects in gradle like I said before

maybe just look up a tutorial on gradle build-logic

[fathom terrace]

kk thanks

I think I'll put the repositories block in each module and that's it

[wheat carbon]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI3/blob/master/build.gradle

old project

can try that setup

[fathom terrace]

why did you remove the multi-module?

[wheat carbon]

?

that is a multi module project

[fathom terrace]

on old project

current placeholderapi project is not a multi project anymore

[wheat carbon]

that was going to be the new papi but it was never finished

[fathom terrace]

oh

[fathom terrace]

it works!

we use bun install now

I'm looking for an in-depth guide on how particles work on minecraft java. I've only been able to find a minecraft wiki stuff that mentions a few sentences about particles but thats it

[spare musk]

Hello everyone

Just joined this server hoping to make friends

[river solstice]

wrong place buddy

[sterile hinge]

True we hate each other here

[raw mural]

I found your question very interesting. I have spent about 5 hours researching, looking into the Minecraft mappings, looking at how the code works, and then formulating all of this into one document that explain the full lifecycle of particles in Minecraft. Enjoy :)

[lunar sapphire]

That's awesome. Thanks a lot!

This was a great read. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much

[river solstice]

have you tried using a debugger

[crisp star]

the problem is that its "public class mAin" and should be "public final class mAin"

[river solstice]

I haven't really done much stuff with packets, but I mean cant you just go through the components of the packet inside the debugger?

[minor summit]

i'm sure linking the minecraft wiki is allowed

the fandom however, that's a different story

[wheat carbon]

Message sent by @dry walrus deleted in #development by themself.
It didn't really help, it was way too abstracted for me to understand tbh. Java is not my home language, nor do I program minecraft mods on the regular so I'm in pretty dark here as I mostly do my own projects in C#.
I tried looking at the minecraft wiki but I still can't form a solid mental image on how these connect to the packet reading in code, especially when the field number used in code feels super arbitrary. Is all good now that its solved though.

didn't let u link cuz ur tier 1 and ig we forgot to add that link to the whitelist

[nocturne dust]

how do you guys teleport a player from one server to another using redis?

[ocean raptor]

why do you need redis for

to teleport the player to a specific coordinate in that server?

[nocturne dust]

Ah nvm

[ocean raptor]

because server teleports are done with bungeecord messaging

if you don't need to teleport the player to a location

[nocturne dust]

tried but doesn't work.

[ocean raptor]

make sure you have that enabled in velocity.toml and registered the channel

[nocturne dust]

although, i fixed it

[ocean raptor]

how did u fix

[nocturne dust]

just a single line fix

[ocean raptor]

[nocturne dust]

// Fix: sync homeServerId so cross-server /clan home works correctly
    if (j.has("serverId")) c.setHomeServerId(j.get("serverId").getAsString());

[nocturne dust]

mind sending me in DM's so that I know the proper method for future needs.

[ocean raptor]

sure thing

add me

When making PlaceholderExpansion is there a way to return colored text without using legacy codes?

[shell moon]

Can't you decide what your placeholder returns? I think so

[worn jasper]

no component support yet...

so essentially either oyu use legacy colors

or you use MM with runway for ex.

[shell moon]

i guess legacy codes mean §a §l etc

Indeed, i hope it's not added soon, or at least a fallback or somthing

or many plugins will die xd

[worn jasper]

Runway coming in for the save 😎

[wheat carbon]

it'll be added in ~2 months

[fiery pollen]

Hey, anyone experienced in assembly here?

[sterile hinge]

what kind of assembly

[fiery pollen]

Not super sure but I asked chatGPT and it said 32-bit x86 Assembly, it just a simple exercise I have to do at uni but we have to optimize the assembly so it uses less clockcycles

[icy shadow]

sounds fun

[sterile hinge]

Do you have a specific target processor? Because otherwise that’s not really possible

Typically for uni you have some simplified model assembly with a very simple pipeline if at all

[fiery pollen]

And this is the actual code in C, its a recursive function (we only have to optimize the function)

[sterile hinge]

oh so you're supposed to optimize C code? Or rather, from a quick look this is more about the algorithmic approach taken

[fiery pollen]

Well we have to optimize the assembly code in the .s file and run the actual assembly code, not the C file. But we have been given the C file just for more insight.

[sterile hinge]

mhh okay

but basically you can rewrite it however you want or are there any constraints?

[fiery pollen]

Don't remove any of the .cfi_... lines and don't create any other help-function

And also these are preserved and scratch registers

[sterile hinge]

yes that's just the calling convention

beyond that, it might help to understand what the pell-lucas numbers are, and more specificially, why calculating both pell_lucas(n-2) and pell_lucas(n-1) is somewhat unnecessary

[fiery pollen]

Yeah thanks, that helped, I managed to optimize it

[river solstice]

@scenic vapor hello boy

Sorry for the ping, but I think you're the only one I know who knows about this.

https://imgur.com/a/Inr0KXX

[scenic vapor]

Just working on such stuff

what do u need to know?

[wanton venture]

Damn, it's beautiful

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

Currently, I'm using the user's theme font image and placing it in the title, but I have a problem: the blue and green fonts appear with a small shadow.

But the one in the center, orange, doesn't have it; the configuration of each font image is identical.

[scenic vapor]

i think its bcs of using incorrect glyph height

otherwise i dunno

or u got it in the png somehow xD

ive never seen that tbh

ah I know what it is

you are using the unselected ones in the BG, right?

it seems like that the selected state is not positioned well

for example the unselected state on green is abt 1 pixel down

and the blue one is abt 1 pixel to left

so its just 2 images overlapping

[wanton venture]

https://imgur.com/a/s7wfwdX

[scenic vapor]

yea

[wanton venture]

Here I changed the value of the blue glyph to green and it appears without the shadow

[scenic vapor]

no, the shadow is still there

[wanton venture]

The one that's blue is from the base texture

[scenic vapor]

I can quite literally still see the darker blue there

which is from the bg

as mentioned, you positioned it incorrectly

ye and thats the same case with the green one

thats also from the bg

bcs you got it abt 1 pixel lower

[wanton venture]

https://imgur.com/a/pRfEdBS

This is the base texture of the inventory; I'm just showing the glyph of the selected theme.

theme_blue_selected:
    path: theme_blue_selected.png
    y_position: -62
    show_in_gui: true
    shadow:
      enabled: false
  theme_orange_selected:
    path: theme_orange_selected.png
    y_position: -62
    show_in_gui: true
    shadow:
      enabled: false
  theme_green_selected:
    path: theme_green_selected.png
    y_position: -62
    show_in_gui: true
    shadow:
      enabled: false```

[scenic vapor]

man Ive already told u the reason twice

[wanton venture]

They all have the same Ascent

one is not lower than the other

[scenic vapor]

not in the bg and it can be quite literally easily seen

the green one is abt 1 pixel lower

3rd time am saying that

[wanton venture]

Damn, you're right.

Sorry to bother you, I hadn't noticed. 😩

[wanton venture]

What is this, by the way? It looks interesting.

[scenic vapor]

private project

there will be a vid in the showcase soon-ish

[wanton venture]

Quick question, the text and information on the right, you add it from the title too, right?

[wanton venture]

This question might not make sense, but is it possible to open a custom inventory without the generic texture?

https://imgur.com/a/y6BlyNy

I'm redesigning the texture, but the space above it looks bad to me. I adjusted it, but obviously the base texture is still sticking out.

I can't enlarge the black square because it would have more space above and below than on the sides.

I'm trying to think of a solution, but nothing comes to mind.

[wanton venture]

And looking at your texture, I think that one is also smaller than the default.

[wanton venture]

In case you plan to support spigot (for spigotmc.org), you probably need to use this (or ad compatibility somehow so it uses if the other is not available) as Player#sendActionBar is from papermc

Guys, what Material#createBlockData() returns if material is not a block, for example, a diamond sword?

[river solstice]

it returns you a nice little IllegalArgumentException

[worn jasper]

yet another example on why you should stop using spigot lol

[river solstice]

why is that?

or am I dumb

[worn jasper]

yes.

[river solstice]

well, there are a lot of reasons to not use spigot, yes... but whats the case here

[worn jasper]

well having Player#sendActionBar for instance

[river solstice]

ah

it's one of the hundreds of extra api paper provides
