Keep in mind they are still being sent a shit ton of particle packets

vivid summit Dec 30, 2021, 6:38 PM

#

can those packets be prevented, like with the use of plib?

proud pebble Dec 30, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

an anticheat but instead of banning you just lags out your game with a bunch of particles

#

or just chunk bans you

dusky harness Dec 30, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

vivid summit can those packets be prevented, like with the use of plib?

yes

#

you can create a counter

#

btw do u mean sharpness particles?

vivid summit Dec 30, 2021, 7:56 PM

#

nope, just the damage particles itself

#

the dark red hearts

dusky harness Dec 30, 2021, 8:02 PM

vivid summit the dark red hearts

assuming this is 1.18 (or recent), u can do something like this: ```java
// im typing this in discord so i dont think this is 100% correct

private final Map<UUID, Integer> particles = new HashMap<>();
private final int LIMIT = 10; // particles sent per tick

// particle listener
ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().addPacketListener(
new PacketAdapter(PacketType.Play.Server.WORLD_PARTICLES) {
@Override
public void onPacketSending(PacketEvent event) {
onSend(event);
}
}
)

private void onSend(PacketEvent event) {
final PacketContainer packet = event.getPacket();
final Player player = event.getPlayer();
if (packet.getNewParticles().read(0).getParticle() != Particle.DAMAGE_INDICATOR) { // I think that's what the particle is? if this doesn't work, try printing out the particle
return;
}
final int originalAmount = packet.getIntegers().read(0);
final int storedAmount = particles.getOrDefault(player.getUniqueId(), 0); // particles already sent
if (storedAmount >= LIMIT) {
return;
}
final int amountLeft = LIMIT - storedAmount; // amount of particles left that can be sent this tick
final int amount = Math.min(amountLeft, packet.getIntegers().read(0)); // amount of particles to send, limiting it to amountLeft
if (amount <= 0) { // no particles
event.setCancelled(true); // no point in sending a particle packet if there are none
return;
}
Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(plugin, () -> {
final int current = particles.getOrDefault(player.getUniqueId());
particles.put(player.getUniqueId(), current - amount);
}); // put the counter down next tick
if (amount == originalAmount) {
return; // nothing to change
}
event.getIntegers().write(0, amount); // set the new particle amount
}

i am a beginner at java so whats override and subclass i tried searching it up but google gave me answer i didnt understand

graceful hedge Dec 30, 2021, 10:09 PM

#

a subclass is a class which extends another class, which gives the subclass the same methods and variables as the super class (not private or package private ones)

#

then you also get some other cool properties such as that an instance of your subclass can be assumed as just the type of the super class

#

thus something like:
Superclass variable = new Subclass();
is possible

grizzled prawn Dec 30, 2021, 10:10 PM

um thanks for definition

Anybody know where nbt item data is stored?

graceful hedge Dec 30, 2021, 10:12 PM

In regards to overriding...

class IAmTheSuperClass {
  
  void printTen() {
    print(10);
  }
}
class Sub extends IAmTheSuperClass {
  @Override printTen() {
    print(11);
  }
}

class Main{
  public static void main(String... args) {
    new Sub().printTen() //would print 11
    new IAmTheSuperClass().printTen() //would print 10
  }
}```

Every time I start my waterfall plugin, these messages are printed in red because I think waterfall/bungeecord doesn't like having other loggers being used

Logger used
```kt

But I just put it there because otherwise Hikari prints a huge complain about operating in "no-op" mode or whatever. Is there a way to make Hikari use Waterfall default logger, and if so, how can I do that?

What does the error

Class 'MyFirstPlugin' is never used:5```
mean? This is my code:

```yaml
package com.magnummc.myfirstplugin;

import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public final class MyFirstPlugin extends JavaPlugin {

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        System.out.println("Hello, world!");

    }

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        System.out.println("Goodbye, world!");
    }
}

#

Trying to learn my errors little at a time.

dusky harness Dec 31, 2021, 3:10 AM

#

summer ingot What does the error ``` Class 'MyFirstPlugin' is never used:5``` mean? This is m...

You can ignore that, it just means that you're never using that class

Later when you have multiple classes (👀) and when you use that class in another class (👀👀), you won't have that error anymore

If for example a listener (that would ex detect when a player joins) said Class 'JoinListener' is never used, that would not be very good

#

btw use ```java
// code here
```

https://paste.md-5.net/wicemegufu.js starting at line 194, not sure if there is a better way to do the enchant check for loops for vanilla and my custom ones.

#

what those for loops are for handling retroactive items, so if i decide to do my own handling of an enchant then i can remove vanilla enchants from said item, if i decide that i dont want to handle an enchantment anymore its vanilla version will be readded to the item, something i need to do later is check if said enchant is actually allowed to be vanilla, if not then dont.

dusky harness Dec 31, 2021, 1:07 PM

#

summer ingot I'm going to bed, so I'll just leave this here, but I'm curious as how to create...

gg on the join/leave! 😄
so, for the config, first you'll have to create the default config
So go to the resources folder (same place as plugin.yml) and create a config.yml file
That'll be the default config.yml that will be created

But spigot wont automatically detect that file, so we have to tell spigot to move that file over to plugins/YourPlugin/config.yml:

public void onEnable() {
    saveDefaultConfig();
}

Now, let's say this is our config.yml: ```yml
startup-message: "Hello from my first plugin!"
stop-message: "Bye!!"

To get the data, we have to do this: ```java
getConfig().getString("startup-message");
```and to put it in a variable: ```java
String startupMessage = getConfig().getString("startup-message");
```and to print it out: ```java
System.out.println(startupMessage);
```(note that the variable isn't required, you could just do `System.out.println(getConfig().getString("startup-message"));`)

Same goes for the `stop-message`

If you had a number or something else besides a string in the config, ex ```yml
countdown: 10
damage: 5.5
enabled: true
```you could do ```java
getConfig().getInt("countdown");
getConfig().getDouble("damage");
getConfig().getBoolean("enabled");

But what if the user changes the file? We'd have to reload the config to check for the new data ```java
// reload command
reloadConfig(); // updates the config to the new data
sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Successfully reloaded!"); // being friendly :)

dusky harness Dec 31, 2021, 3:48 PM

#

summer ingot also, for the part where i'm getting the data, where exactly do I put that?

you can just put it wherever you need the data
in my example, you would put that in onEnable since that's where you'd replace this: ```java
System.out.println("MilkyGreet has been enabled.");

summer ingot Dec 31, 2021, 3:49 PM

#

so instead of the print i'd put

getConfig().getString("startup-message");```

#

if that's what i wanted to do

was a startup message

dusky harness Dec 31, 2021, 3:50 PM

yes: ```java
System.out.println(getConfig().getString("startup-message"));

i know how i can get the actual players name but how do i write it into the config for that

join-message: "Welcome %player%"
quit-message: "Goodbye %player%"```
this doesn't look right.

#

i don't have a placeholder or anything

dusky harness Dec 31, 2021, 4:01 PM

#

summer ingot ```java join-message: "Welcome %player%" quit-message: "Goodbye %player%"``` thi...

that looks good - but you'll have to replace %player% with the code

so
Let's say the join message is just Welcome ```java
player.sendMessage(getConfig().getString("join-message"));


But if it's `Welcome %player%`, the player will also see `Welcome %player%`
So we'll have to replace `%player%` with the player's name: ```java
player.sendMessage(getConfig().getString("join-message").replace("%player%", player.getName()));

#

fingerguns

summer ingot Dec 31, 2021, 4:02 PM

so i'm just a bit confused, where exactly would i be writing that in? is it in my main class or am i making a new class orr

#

sorry.

dusky harness Dec 31, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

hmm, well if you want this in the join listener, then you can't just do getConfig()

summer ingot Dec 31, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

well where would you have put it

dusky harness Dec 31, 2021, 4:04 PM

#

the join listener is the only place you can put it, you'll have to use something called Dependency Injection (DI) to be able to call the getConfig() method from another class

#

it's a bit confusing at first since iirc you're new to java, but if you want I can try explaining it

#

but in the end you'd be able to do ```java
plugin.getConfig() // plugin is a variable of the main class, getConfig() is a method in the main class

It doesn’t really live up to its name in complexity, once you’ve done it youll realize it’s just sort of the practice of passing parent variables in to bring necessary information

dusky harness Dec 31, 2021, 4:21 PM

#

summer ingot well i mean if its my only option to making this work then ig i have to know

https://paste.helpch.at/yijawupoju.java <- Example

Dependency Injection is a way of providing objects with the objects they need ("dependencies"). This is usually done with a constructor, but can also be done for individual methods
(HelpChat's explanation, but imo if you don't have the basic idea of objects and constructors, it's difficult to understand 🤷)

Remember:

Methods are functions that are "blocks" of code that can be executed, and they can also have parameters that pass data
lmk if you want extra info on methods, since below I talk about constructors and stuff which is a special type of method
Variables hold data, and there are two types of variables: local variables and fields, fields which belong to a class and local variables which belong to a method
- Example: https://paste.helpch.at/fegukitiwo.cpp

A constructor is a "method" used when creating a new instance/object of a class
For example, when you do java getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PlayerQuit(), this); you're creating a new instance of PlayerQuit, and since all methods have () (for parameters), and a constructor is a method ("behind the scenes"), that's why when you do new PlayerQuit(), there are parenthesis
And to make constructors even easier to identify, you always have to have new in front of it (since you're creating a new instance of the class)

With objects/instances, you can also store them in a variable: ```java
PlayerQuit playerQuit = new PlayerQuit();
getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(playerQuit, this);

#

But what's the point of the constructor?
It can be used to:

run code when the instance is created (since remember - it's a method)
give the class extra data (which is what we're trying to do - we're trying to give the join listener our plugin instance to get the config) - because methods can have parameters

So to create a constructor: ```java
public class JoinListener {
public JoinListener() {

}
```this doesn't do anything since the parameters are empty and there is no code inside the {}

If we do this: java public class JoinListener { public JoinListener() { System.out.println("Created JoinListener instance!"); } } now, whenever we do new JoinListener(), it'll print out Created JoinListener instance!

But we need the plugin instance to be able to do getConfig(), so we pass it through a parameter and create a variable/field: java public class JoinListener { private final MilkyGreet plugin; // final just means the variable can't be changed public JoinListener(MilkyGreet plugin) { this.plugin = plugin; // this. just means that we're accessing a field instead of the parameter // If this. is confusing, then think of that as this: // pluginField = pluginParameter; } } then since we have a MilkyGreet instance, anywhere in JoinListener, we can use plugin: ```java
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) {
Player player = e.getPlayer();
String message = plugin.getConfig().getString("join-message").replace("%player%", player.getName()); // get the config message and replace %player% with the player's name
player.sendMessage(message);
}


Now that the constructor has a `MilkyGreet` parameter, we need to fill that in in the main class: ```java
new PlayerJoin(this); // it's "this" because the class we're writing this in is MilkyGreet

Since you're pretty new to java, this might be confusing, so feel free to ask :))

dusky harness Dec 31, 2021, 4:25 PM

#

summer ingot so int, which stands for integer, is a variable?

yep, it's a variable
Variables store data, so since the int variable stores 5, 10, etc, it's a variable

public int variable = 5;

summer ingot and what is the difference between ```java @EventHandler void onPlayerJ...

in this case, it doesn't matter, it can even be private

if there is no public or private (there's also protected but dw about that), it means that it's package private, meaning that only classes in the same package can access it

This has all the code

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PlayerQuit(this), this);
```this goes in the main class

the other stuff goes in the JoinListener class

and since a constructor is a type of method, it goes in the same place another method would go

summer ingot Dec 31, 2021, 4:40 PM

you haven't used the variable

so I'd just do new WorldMnager(); instead

oh yeah 🤦‍♂️ thank you

rugged bane Dec 31, 2021, 5:00 PM

#

hha np we've all been there

#

Very handy tip I use a LOT btw, if you do need to make a variable, append .var to the end and press enter

#

E.g. new WorldManager().var it'll create a variable you can type straight away

cinder forum Hi, how to get safe spawn location location of world? 🤔

world#getHighestBlockAt() and then some checks for the block below this location making sure its not lava or whatever

#

if you want a random safe location then just do the check but with 2 randoms for x and z

broken elbow Dec 31, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

then add a null check for message before sending it

#

because if the join-message option was removed from config.yml, spigot will return null and when a player joins you'll get an NPE

summer ingot Dec 31, 2021, 6:20 PM

#

ill look up what a null check is first and then if i cant figure it out i'll ask but i'll try and figure it out myself first

#

thanks :)

broken elbow Dec 31, 2021, 6:21 PM

#

summer ingot ill look up what a null check is first and then if i cant figure it out i'll ask...

literally just:

if (message == null) {
    return;
}```. you check if the message is null and if it is you exit. you could also do other stuff if its null depends on what you want to do

#

yes. I have words. I have the best words

summer ingot Dec 31, 2021, 6:22 PM

#

that makes sense

#

it just checks if it's null and if it is then i assume exit means it shuts down the plugin?

broken elbow Dec 31, 2021, 6:22 PM

#

no

#

return;. you just exit from that method

#

so you don't execute the code after which is player.sendMessage(message);

summer ingot i used to have this in it ```java e.setJoinMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "["...

btw if u dont want to type long ChatColor... everytime you can use color codes
create utils package
make ColorHelper (or smth like that) class
create static method in it

public static String translate(String uncolorized) {

}

Then you can use
e.setJoinMessage(ColorHelper.translate("&7[&a+&7] &6&l" + player.getDisplayName()));

well i wouldnt say understand yet

but memorize lmao

#

for example i'll probably keep making greeting plugins and perfecting them/making them faster/with no help until i understand every aspect of it

#

also, when i go to create a reload command for the plugin that needs a seperate class right?

usually you don't need separate class but you want it because of organization etc.

this caused some issues, now it sends two welcome messages, one message has color and the %player% placeholder is broken one message has no color and %player% placeholder is working

into the 
```java
player.sendMessage(ColorHelper.translate(message));```

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

i have it as milkygreet reload

so when you register it, register it as something like greetings or whatever

this.getCommand("reload").setExecutor(new ReloadCommand()); when registering it here register it as milkygreet

i was wondering why it did that

broken elbow Jan 1, 2022, 1:15 AM

summer ingot i would have liked it to be /milkygreet reload

yeah. it adds those automatically

#

you need to register the command to be milkygreet

same in plugin.yml

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 1:16 AM

so for example when i do

commands:
  reload:```
should i instead do 
```java

You could PlayerDeathEvent and Player#getLastDamageCause();

u dont need to fix the warnings technically. it will still compile

#

when using my reload command it just spits the reload command back at me

#

curious

slim vortex Jan 1, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

Can you send the code

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

yea np do you just want everything

slim vortex Jan 1, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

Only the command

Try returning true

#

Because it was successful in execution

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 2:47 AM

#

Okay ill lyk

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 2:49 AM

#

slim vortex Try returning true

now it's just told me it's an unknown command

slim vortex Jan 1, 2022, 2:50 AM

#

send the new code

#

changing that line doesn’t do that

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 2:50 AM

#

ill send my plugin.yml too

#

slim vortex Jan 1, 2022, 2:51 AM

#

check console for errors or something

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 2:51 AM

#

nothing

slim vortex Jan 1, 2022, 2:51 AM

#

changing to true doesn’t cause the command to not register

#

what command did you type

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 2:52 AM

#

i think i found my mistake

#

this is my previous main class
https://paste.helpch.at/gayutitivi.java

#

under onEnable where the command is it's only milkygreet with no reload

#

but the command is milkygreet reload

slim vortex Jan 1, 2022, 2:53 AM

#

remove the reload part from the plugin yml and also the main

broken elbow Jan 1, 2022, 2:53 AM

#

ugh

slim vortex Jan 1, 2022, 2:53 AM

#

you don’t need reload

broken elbow Jan 1, 2022, 2:53 AM

#

you'resetting the executor

#

to this

#

instead of the command class

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 2:54 AM

#

well no because then the cmd is only milkygreet

slim vortex Jan 1, 2022, 2:54 AM

#

instantiate the subclass command executor

#

arguments =/= command

#

the command is milkygreet

broken elbow Jan 1, 2022, 2:54 AM

#

this should be new ReloadCommand()

slim vortex Jan 1, 2022, 2:54 AM

#

reload is an argument

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 2:55 AM

#

hm okay so

#

args are tuff

#

lemme go thru spigot and see if they have anything helpful and if not ill ask

slim vortex Jan 1, 2022, 2:56 AM

#

not really it’s just a java concept

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 3:03 AM

#

kinda wouldve expected to find atleast one forum relating to what i need but ig not

#

or im a shitty googler

tight junco Jan 1, 2022, 3:04 AM

#

always recommend learning and understanding basic java before going straight into plugins clueless

arguments are a general concept

#

its not something you learn that is java specific

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 3:07 AM

#

never known how to set them up though

#

i'll just go thru some basic java stuff first

pure crater Jan 1, 2022, 3:07 AM

#

arguments aren't "something you setup"

#

its just a general term lol

summer ingot Jan 1, 2022, 3:08 AM

#

what would it be called then if i want to make "reload" as an arguement

#

what might someone call that action

pure crater Jan 1, 2022, 3:09 AM

#

No, i am just saying that arguments are a very general concept, and its not like something you learn, if that makes sense. like program arguments, method arguments, command arguments, etc

#

And also i think what you are referring to is a literal

tight junco Jan 1, 2022, 3:09 AM

#

fun information about developers and asking for help with stuff

#

they're gonna give you the most vague answer you can imagine

#

enjoy CB_fingerguns

pure crater Jan 1, 2022, 3:10 AM

#

yep

#

cause its a general term, so i cant give a proper definition lol

#

can be many contexts

broken elbow Jan 1, 2022, 3:10 AM

#

much money

tight junco Jan 1, 2022, 3:10 AM

well they're talking about command arguments in this context

I'm having an issue with publishing my lib to jitpack using gradle with shadow plugin. I really don't know what's wrong with this, since I got it to work on past projects, but now for some reason it doesn't.

My goal is that people can use the repository as a shadowed lib on their projects, but for some reason, it doesn't build correctly, or it only builds the sources. Here's my build.gradle -> https://github.com/AleIV/Model-Tool/blob/1.17/build.gradle

please explain

#

I can't think of a single person using it more than once that hasn't encountered an issue with it

#

Sometimes it just straight up doesn't work

#

Sometimes you have issues with the java version or with the Gradle version or with the whatever version or whatever

#

It don't work

#

@half gate for publishing shadow libs instead of doing from(components.java) do project.shadow.component(it)

pure crater its not something you learn that is java specific

i’m talking about method parameters in the context of minecraft. need to know java to understand method parameters and arrays if you want to use them for minecraft command implementations
