[mint verge]

Why do u not have a column

[shell moon]

i dont think you get the idea

[mint verge]

x,y,z

[dark garnet]

cause blocks can have the same coords

[mint verge]

a column for each axis

[dark garnet]

but different worlds

[mint verge]

ok

add a world column

[shell moon]

and? save world too lol

[dark garnet]

ik i tried that but it was a lot more complicated

[shell moon]

imo its easier

as you can save it like float

already

but well

[rose oxide]

why are you creating a new GetSql every time u make a call yo

[shell moon]

still dont get why you "loop columns"

[mint verge]

You know what the column names are

Theres no need to loop

through anything

[shell moon]

first time working with mysql i guess

[mint verge]

First off

u should use sql pools

not instantiate a new connection everytime

and you know the column names so just use those

[shell moon]

if its for a lock system

he probably need to cache on start

[mint verge]

So he loads them on post construct of the plugin class?

Then make 1 big query that fetches all of it and u can iterate each row

and call the column by their name

and not looping

Theres no need for a system like that unless you're working with unknown structure

@dark garnet If you want help you'll have to give a bit more context to what you're trying to achieve

[shell moon]

few words: lockette

[mint verge]

If you're directly working with sql you should take a look at this too

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/persistence-jsp.html

[dark garnet]

@mint verge did u see this

[mint verge]

Show me a table schem

[rose oxide]

^

[west socket]

I tried using an sql API but it’s better to just either write your own or not use one

[rose oxide]

looks like he wrote his own tbh

[mint verge]

idk I don't use sql with java 🙂 @west socket

[west socket]

I see

[dark garnet]

this? https://go-to.srnyx.xyz/chrome_bBKc8AVzD9.png

[west socket]

The only thing the APIs are decent for is managing the connection

[mint verge]

ye

[west socket]

They’re terrible for making queries

[mint verge]

Which is why u should sql pools

bare minimum sql pool api

ok

so from my understanding

you want to loop through the content in the WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK column

[rose oxide]

wth is the table even for

[mint verge]

To get the coordinates right? @dark garnet

[dark garnet]

world + coords + block yea

[rose oxide]

block has a locker right?

[mint verge]

so

world_

is the name of the world?

[rose oxide]

why do you need the block type if its a locker

is there different kinds?

[dark garnet]

just world, the underscores r to separate them

[shell moon]

world name with _ = gg

[mint verge]

okay

so

U need to split the string

Split the string every "_"

[dark garnet]

i do that after

List<String> list = new GetSQL("locked").getValue(new String[]{"WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK"});
if (list != null) for (String key : list) {
    String[] split = key.split(",");```

[mint verge]

well u need to split it

_

this is your character seperator

[dark garnet]

o i forgot to change the , to _...

[mint verge]

although you should store that string in 3 different columns

like you should have a column world, x, y, z, material

It's much more efficient than storing varchar

[rose oxide]

CREATE TABLE Locker ( lockerId INT PRIMARY KEY, world VARCHAR(32), x INT, y INT, z INT, type INT);

[shell moon]

TEXT world

(ignore, i use sqlite xD)

[mint verge]

use VARCHAR(50) for world name

[dark garnet]

changing this made the plugin load, but its only returning the first value in WORLD_XYZ_BLOCK

imma explore making each one separate later

but i wanna try to get this working first

so i at least have something

[rose oxide]

it's more struggle than it's worth bro

[west socket]

I’m confused what he’s trying to do

[shell moon]

he wants to lock blocks

so people cannot open or interact

[rose oxide]

hes tryna store all this shit in a varchar and split it to get all this data

[dark garnet]

the issue is with the sql method, so if i dont fix it i could run into more issues that use that method

[dark garnet]

thats not whats breaking it tho

[west socket]

Trying to store an entire map in an SQL db?

[rose oxide]

you showed no sql interaction in the method how could we help you with that

[dark garnet]

if i add another row (3 in total), it gets the first 2 but not the last

[shell moon]

not even he would attempt that

[mint verge]

You mind showing

The GetSql class

https://ghose.xyz/paste You can use this to paste it

[dark garnet]

https://paste.srnyx.xyz/yolunakego.java

[shell moon]

youa re doing it wrong prob

[dark garnet]

its cause of while (rs.next()) (i assume)

when it gets to the last valid row, the row after it is invalid, so it doesnt add the last valid row

[shell moon]

still, suggestion was

do the same as griefpreventions

[mint verge]

You should make your getValue method have a generic

[shell moon]

load all on server start, save on server stop (and interval of time)

[mint verge]

^

[shell moon]

but yeah

do that, as normal people would do

i mean, why checking database every time someone breaks a block lol

[mint verge]

Wait

Does he really do that

[dark garnet]

no

[mint verge]

oh

ok

[dark garnet]

well sorta

it only checks if the block is lockable

[shell moon]

public void createTable(String[] columns) {

[mint verge]

You should cache the block

[rose oxide]

that is quite literally a query

[shell moon]

    StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(30);
    for (String value : columns) {
        result.append(value).append(" VARCHAR(100), ");
    }

omg

isnt it easier to write the string directly?

and make it a column per axis?

[rose oxide]

Im also very confused why one would ever need to create a table programmatically, just make a db and host that bitch

[mint verge]

phpmyadmin that shit

or

mysqlbench that shit

much easier to create your infrastructure like that

[rose oxide]

or is this like sqlite or something

[shell moon]

@dark garnet did you write that class?

[dark garnet]

yea

[shell moon]

that explains a lot

[dark garnet]

oh

[shell moon]

dont get me wrong but

it sucks

you get confused when using it

it's 100times easier

to simply write the method you need

instead of making it need an array

you can easily make a table with world, x, y, z, locker and a random uuid

instead of complicating your life making it a string like world_x_y_z_world

[mint verge]

"An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity. (...) An idiot, anything the more complicated it is, the more he will admire it. If you make something so clusterfucked he can't understand it, he's gonna think you're a god 'cause you made it so complicated nobody can understand it." -Terry A. Davis

[shell moon]

or similar

[shell moon]

i'm stealing that to make a tag for my server

[mint verge]

Terry A Davis has the best quotes

he's our lord and saviour

[rose oxide]

+rep for terry davis quote

[dark garnet]

so what do i do

[mint verge]

Scrap it all

start over

[rose oxide]

remove getsql

[mint verge]

Remake the sql infrastructure

[rose oxide]

make db and interface it with code instead of creating the whole db programmatically

[mint verge]

Make your Locker Table have a column for each axis, worldname, id of locker, id of placer

[rose oxide]

^

[mint verge]

Then create yourself a method

With an interface

for example

GetAllLockers()

Which gets all lockers

What you could do is make a Locker class

and translate the data each row into a Locker object

then put Locker in a cache

and when someone breaks a block of type locker check locker cache

[shell moon]

easy, don't use that class and write a new one with only the methods you need

[rose oxide]

@dark garnet you're glowing

[shell moon]

just wondering

this.name = Main.config.getString("database.prefix") + table;

why?

if prefix is [MyPlugin]

would table name be [MyPlugin]tablename?

why?

[dark garnet]

default database.prefix is v_

[shell moon]

and why?

[dark garnet]

cause the plugin's name is vanadium

[shell moon]

cant you simply use table name configurable?

and? lol

[dark garnet]

it starts with a v

[shell moon]

[rose oxide]

https://tenor.com/view/donald-trump-trump-reaction-yeah-whatever-gif-15976242

[dark garnet]

what

[shell moon]

i usually do

[mint verge]

configure your table names

in the config

[shell moon]

Database:
USer etc
Pass etc
Table: "alonsotags"
etc etc

why making a prefix AND a table name?

dont complicate your life

[dark garnet]

database:
  host: "host"
  port: "3306"
  database: "database"
  username: "username"
  password: "password"
  useSSL: false
  prefix: "v_"```

[mint verge]

Programming is about being lazy

[dark garnet]

thats what the config looks like

[shell moon]

wtf

[mint verge]

not the other way around

[shell moon]

and whats "table" value?

thats selected by you

in the code?

[dark garnet]

thats set with new GetSQL(table)

[shell moon]

i'm not a huge fan of forcing table name

i allow them to pick the one the want

[dark garnet]

ive never seen customizable table names ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shell moon]

literally

[rose oxide]

just make your table name what you want it to be.

[shell moon]

all of them are

if you delete the + table part

you are good

[dark garnet]

no...

[mint verge]

y

[dark garnet]

i have multiple tables

[shell moon]

forcing table name

[rose oxide]

Locker table should be Locker

[shell moon]

ew

[dark garnet]

all of them would be called v_

[mint verge]

then

call them

v_locker

[dark garnet]

thats what i did

[mint verge]

v_users

[shell moon]

i seriously

dont get why making it that way

someone?

[mint verge]

well don't make the prefix configurable

just

do

getsql("v_locker").getValue...

[shell moon]

if i ever do that, people would complain about it not being configurable lol

[rose oxide]

make your Locker table named Locker not v_locker_alonsotags shit because thats not fun.

[shell moon]

imagine adding a_wahteveryouwant

no way, i rather making it configurable

going back to the main issue

create your sql class and make only necessary methods

[shell moon]

no need to be fun, needs to be practical and customizable

[rose oxide]

does he have 30,000 other plugins using the same db :V

[shell moon]

even if he had, i dont think he'd need another database

unless he gets "max amount of connections"

[rose oxide]

hey man he was glowing hard we had to say something

[mint verge]

He was glowing in the dark

[dark garnet]

wdym im glowing??

[shell moon]

i dont get the reference

[shell moon]

dont feel bad, i dont understand it either

prob bc its not my main language

[leaden plume]

Hey @mint verge this is a warning for that latest post of yours! Please rest the rules

[mint verge]

This is who glows in the dark

@leaden plume Im explaining

why he glows in the dark

[lunar sun]

no fun allowed 😠

[mint verge]

sadly not

[shell moon]

fun is allowed, if on topic

[leaden plume]

[rose oxide]

the topic is memes now

[dark garnet]

uh oh seb go bye

[shell moon]

yes

[leaden plume]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/752286213439750265/950899123496816690/obama-obamium.gif

[shell moon]

wtf

peppa god

so @dark garnet make the class and necessary methods

[leaden plume]

#off-topic 🙂 let keep this channel on topic

[shell moon]

and show it

[dark garnet]

so basically just get rid of all unused methods right?

[shell moon]

you better create a new class

[dark garnet]

but wouldnt that be the same as just removing the unused ones?
or should i do more than basically copy/pasting (remake from scratch, change used methods, etc...)?

cause i dont see any benefits from removing the unused ones besides making the class cleaner (or is that the only reason?)

[shell moon]

up 2 u tbh idk

i belive writing one is easier

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dark garnet]

like remake from scratch?

[shell moon]

do it as you want

but write the methods you need

in an easy way, without utils to make it array or something

if you already know there are 3 rows

write the code like that

not update(String[] values)

i mean, whyy?

[rose oxide]

just write the sql queries inline

[dark garnet]

what should be the new things i consider when remaking?

besides doing the necessary methods

like caching and stuff

[rose oxide]

make the table structure use columns and cache immediately upon start

[dark garnet]

ok dyno

[shell moon]

[dark garnet]

so like world, x, y, z, placer, locker (each a different column)?

[shell moon]

loadLocations() { //on start
get connection, get rows, while next, add to map
}
saveLocations() { //on stop and interval of time
get connection, loop the map, store world, locker, x, y, z, type
}

[rose oxide]

    public boolean contains(String column, String value) {
        try {
            // Statement
            PreparedStatement ps = Main.SQL.getConnection().prepareStatement("SELECT "
                    + column
                    + " FROM "
                    + name);

            // Action
            return ps.executeQuery().toString().contains(value);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return false;
    }
```what is this doing just use .executeQuery that returns resultset

then while(set.next()) { String world = set.getString("world"); int x = set.getInt("x"); int y = set.getInt("y"); int z = set.getInt("z"); ..etc }

then create the instance of the locker and load it into the hashmap

after this all you will need to do is change the data in the map

then onDisable you can make all of your inserts/updates

[dark garnet]

imma have 2 tables, so should i just create separate methods for both of them?

[rose oxide]

sure you could have methods to load the maps

[dark garnet]

no i mean like this will only work for one of the tables

so should i create another method that does the same thing except for the other table?

[shell moon]

just wondering, why 2 tables

[dark garnet]

trusted players

[rose oxide]

thats not a method/doesnt have to be a method lowkey but yes

[dark garnet]

v_trusted with PLAYER and TRUSTER columns

[rose oxide]

you would just do the same shit

[shell moon]

trusted per block?

or per player?

[dark garnet]

player

[shell moon]

i mean, i trust someone to interact with my block

or with all my blocks

[dark garnet]

its to trust with all of ur blocks

[shell moon]

ah ok, then it's ok

[rose oxide]

while(set.next()) { 
  UUID uuid = UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes(set.getBytes("uuid"));
}```not rlly sure how to load uuids from resultset but i assume its like this if you want to use the uuid datatype in sql otherwise just store as string

[dark garnet]

does the uuid datatype support hyphens?

[shell moon]

save it as string and UUID#fromString

[rose oxide]

sure

[dark garnet]

probs what i will do

[shell moon]

thats what i've been doing for years

haven't found a good way to do it

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rose oxide]

I wonder if that would work

sql has the datatype

[dark garnet]

also i just wanted to know the downsides, if any, of using yml storage
and the benefits, if any, of using sql over yml

[rose oxide]

sql wins in speed over yml unless structure is bad

plus sql has good querying

able to basically write any code to retrieve specific results in sql

[shell moon]

yml can corrupt also, right?

and is slow af when too many data

dont ever use it

seriously

[rose oxide]

other than for like database.yml

lol

[dark garnet]

the locking system im using, which i got from a plugin i contribute to, uses yml storage

[rose oxide]

or static data generally

[dark garnet]

and ive been trying to transfer it all into mysql

[shell moon]

yml = slow if too many data

so it's not even an option

[rose oxide]

its mostly just interacting with the file system thats slow not rlly about the file type, also every java method to filter results is slower than sql

[dark garnet]

what would be the best option for first plugin?

cause this is my first time making a plugin

[rose oxide]

first big plugin or first plugin?

[dark garnet]

first plugin

[lyric gyro]

It’s not that it’s slow…

Most of the time fops are much quicker

[dark garnet]

ive only fixed bugs / added new features to an already made plugin

[lyric gyro]

It depends how you are consuming data

As well as adding

Not very scalable though

[rose oxide]

idk just use yml if you're not comfortable in java or sql

learn java and spigot's api before worrying about data storage imo

[leaden sinew]

Can’t anything?

[dark garnet]

ok ill just use yml for now and worry about data later

whats a good way to store unused code?

besides just commenting it out

[leaden sinew]

GitHub

You could use Gists

[shell moon]

[dark garnet]

was gonna make a joke about putin but nevermind
ill just let u imagine what that joke wouldve been

[lyric gyro]

Delete it, can view in your local history or GitHub

[loud sorrel]

any1 know what the green light is saying for raspberry pi

i got no clue

that sound is my fishtank btw

[dusky harness]

green = on i think

then red means its connected to power

i think

[loud sorrel]

ive been doing research and diff combos of green flashes mean dif errors

[dusky harness]

O

well for me green always just flashed when it was on, never really googled it before 🤷

didn't know it could represent errors o.o

[leaden sinew]

The sound definitely adds to the video

[heavy swan]

Hello there! im trying to develop a plugin to play with my friends, i called the plugin CommonDamage, it consists in if one player is damaged, all players in the server get damaged too, but i want to implement the DamageCause into it too so if a player falls from a high place, and another one has father falling 4 in his boots, dont get the same damage as the one who fell in the first place. Someone know how can i make this posible?

[cerulean birch]

I need an easy-to-use API for making GUIs in Bukkit for 1.17, well documented etc, anyone have recommendations? everything I've looked at so far is either cringy, confusing, or just not it

@cerulean birch

[cerulean birch]

cheers

[median glen]

Good morning, what does it matter if a commandExecutor's onCommand method returns true or false?
Is the difference only that if I return false, it displays some error message to the sender?

[dusty frost]

Yeah

It shows the help message if you return false

[median glen]

Thank you

[median glen]

What is the difference between storing data to PersistentDataContainer and setting metadata? For e.g. a player

[sterile hinge]

one is persistent

[median glen]

When metadata disappears?

[sterile hinge]

I think it's just held by the player object

but that's likely documented in javadocs of the related methods

[median glen]

thank you!

[median glen]

Do I have to prefix metadata key? In case of PersistentDataContainer I think it is not necessary, but can't find the code to setmetadata in my IDE so can't check.

Also, how can I browse full spigot/paper source code?
(Please use "reply" function to answer to my questions because I have to go afk now)

[winged pebble]

Ctrl click the interface and then you can browse what classes implement it

You also don't have to prefix the key

[hazy nimbus]

red is power
the green is IO indicator iirc

[dense drift]

Nah, it will have your plugins name appended, plugin:dataKey: value

[queen plank]

How do I create a void world? I found a some information on the wiki but a lot from it is deprecated since MC 1.17 changed so much in the world gen.

[terse belfry]

Use multiverse and void world plugin

Then its like /mv create name Normal -g VoidGenerator

Or something

[queen plank]

Is there no easy way without dependencies? I want to avoid them as much as possible :>

[terse belfry]

All i know is that way but idk if it works for 1.17

[icy shadow]

you make a ChunkPopulator or something that just returns an empty ChunkData

Class names are probably wrong

But it's something like that

[lyric gyro]

Yes just do it in single player

Change your layers

To all air or whatever

[hoary scarab]

public class VoidChunkGenerator extends ChunkGenerator {
    
    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    public ChunkData generateChunkData(World world, Random random, int x, int z, BiomeGrid biome) {
        Environment env = world.getEnvironment();
        Biome b = (env == Environment.NORMAL) ? Biome.JUNGLE : (env == Environment.NETHER) ? Biome.NETHER_WASTES : Biome.THE_END;
        for(int c1 = 0; c1 <= 15; c1++)
            for(int c3 = 0; c3 <= 15; c3++)
                biome.setBiome(c1, c3, b);
        return createChunkData(world);
    }
}

// Creation
ConsoleOutput.info(key + " has started generating.");
WorldCreator wc = new WorldCreator(key);
wc.generateStructures(false);
wc.environment(e);
wc.generator(new VoidChunkGenerator());
w = Bukkit.createWorld(wc);

// JavaPlugin class
@Override
public ChunkGenerator getDefaultWorldGenerator(String worldName, String id) {
    String name = ConfiguredSettings.get().worldName;
    if(worldName.equals(name) || worldName.equals(name+"_nether") || worldName.equals(name+"_the_end"))
        return new VoidChunkGenerator();
    else 
        return super.getDefaultWorldGenerator(worldName, id);
}

[lyric gyro]

People don’t know you can just do it in single player I guess lmao?

[hoary scarab]

Not like I just gave the code to do it or anything lol

[lyric gyro]

Why need code when you can just go make a single player workd

But okay

It’s already coded

[hoary scarab]

If you used a single player world when new chunks are loaded they will be loaded by the default worldgenerator and not the void generator.

[lyric gyro]

No it’s all void

Go try it yourself

[hoary scarab]

I have lol

[lyric gyro]

I’m not arguing with you when you haven’t

Or else you wouldn’t be speaking out of your ass

[hoary scarab]

But you are so what does it matter?

And also this is the development channel. So he asked for code to do it. (With no dependencies.)

[lyric gyro]

Here’s the code for what single player already made

[graceful hedge]

I mean creating a simple void world is sure easier by just doing it in single player, altho there are some benefits in regards to doing it programmatically with a plugin I presume

[lyric gyro]

Like what @graceful hedge ?

[hoary scarab]

Setting biomes for one.

[graceful hedge]

Yeah

Altho it’s pretty pointless to set biomes in a void world

[hoary scarab]

When grass is placed I like jungles vibrant colors

[graceful hedge]

Not really visible all that much, and if you do need it for certain chunks world edit can be used

[hoary scarab]

Skyblock worlds 😉

[graceful hedge]

Idk what the original dude was looking for specifically tbf

[lyric gyro]

You can set biomes still 100%

[graceful hedge]

Yeah

[lyric gyro]

If you make a single player void world

Multiverse will make a void then like 1000 blocks away it’s just terrain

[hoary scarab]

My code isn't from multiverse. Its from my skyblock plugin xD

[lyric gyro]

I assumed it wasn’t from multiverse cause there void worlds suck

[sterile hinge]

ah yes, @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")

[spiral prairie]

xD

[hoary scarab]

Yeap.

[sterile hinge]

it makes me sad

[spiral prairie]

it really does

[hoary scarab]

Well if they didn't deprecate useful methods without adding methods to replace them it wouldn't be necessary. (At least in the plugin that code is from cause thats a latest version plugin.)

[sterile hinge]

so you just will continue using the methods after they were removed?

[hoary scarab]

If they are removed how could they be used?

[spiral prairie]

the only method im using is InventoryClickEvent#setCursor, because there is no equivalent

[spiral prairie]

They are marked for removal

thats what deprecation says afaik

[hoary scarab]

There are methods "marked for removal" for over 6 years.

[lyric gyro]

with the exception that the old worldgen API is confirmed by maintainers to be removed in a near-future update

[dense drift]

Md5 likes the @Deprecated method 🤡

[sterile hinge]

...that's the joke

[lyric gyro]

"deprecate useful methods"
"without adding methods to replace them"
chooses to ignore the completely new and fine-tuned worldgen api

[spiral prairie]

he abuses it

[dense drift]

Imo, some methods are deprecated to somehow make the people use the other methods more, for example getPlayer(String) and getPlayer(UUID) or getOfflinePlayer

[spiral prairie]

this is md5

[lyric gyro]

no, that's yapperyaps

[hoary scarab]

HeadMeta.setOwner() is replaced by HeadMeta.setOwningPlayer() like TF just keep the method the same name?

[hoary scarab]

?

[lyric gyro]

'?'?

[broken elbow]

but what if owner can be something else than just player?

[spiral prairie]

setOwner takes String and setOwningPlayer takes an offline player

[kind granite]

github is down yet again

[broken elbow]

is it?

[graceful hedge]

works fine for me

[spiral prairie]

isnt for me

[broken elbow]

seems fine for me.

[hoary scarab]

You can have methods with the same name but different params

[spiral prairie]

you just have shitty internet

[kind granite]

oops

[lyric gyro]

skull

[kind granite]

that is not the screenshot

that is

[graceful hedge]

[spiral prairie]

but its easier to differ then?

[kind granite]

i get 500s when i try to log in

[lyric gyro]

then don't

[hoary scarab]

Yes but based on the current convo... one was supposed to be removed. So whats the point of making the new method instead of replacing the old one?

[lyric gyro]

in case you weren't aware, there is a new worldgen api the better reflects how minecraft world gen stages work

as very well outlined by the javadoc

[hoary scarab]

When was it added? I started the code of that plugin in 1.16.5 xD (And just updated it as necessary)

[lyric gyro]

idk 1.17 probably?

or late 1.16.5

1.17

in preparation for 1.18

afaik

[sterile hinge]

how does that help with deprecated methods?

[lyric gyro]

the name tho !!!

[spiral prairie]

!!!!!

[pulsar ferry]

Actually I think it was before that, 1.15 or something

[spiral prairie]

really?

[pulsar ferry]

I think so, I remember using it before 1.17 at least

[lyric gyro]

checked, it's 1.17+

[hoary scarab]

Link?

[lyric gyro]

javadoc?

lol

[hoary scarab]

Is it the methods in worldcreator you're talking about?

[lyric gyro]

No, the methods in the ChunkGenerator
https://papermc.io/javadocs/paper/1.16/org/bukkit/generator/ChunkGenerator.html
https://papermc.io/javadocs/paper/1.17/org/bukkit/generator/ChunkGenerator.html

and the class javadoc mentions them too

[pulsar ferry]

I see, my brain fails me one more time

[hoary scarab]

Yeah only deprecation I see (from the code I use) is the createChunkData() method. And just says ChunkGenerator.ChunkData are now directly provided
And the biomegrid

[lyric gyro]

yes because

ChunkData are now directly provided
in all the new non-deprecated methods that replaced the old ones you should be using instead

[hoary scarab]

public class VoidChunkGenerator extends ChunkGenerator {
    
    @Override
    public BiomeProvider getDefaultBiomeProvider(WorldInfo worldInfo) { return new VoidBiomeProvider(); }
    @Override
    public boolean shouldGenerateNoise() { return false; }
    @Override
    public boolean shouldGenerateSurface() { return false; }
    @Override
    public boolean shouldGenerateBedrock() { return false; }
    @Override
    public boolean shouldGenerateCaves() { return false; }
    @Override
    public boolean shouldGenerateStructures() { return false; }
    @Override
    public Location getFixedSpawnLocation(World world, Random random) { return new Location(world, 0, 70, 0); }
    
}

public class VoidBiomeProvider extends BiomeProvider {

    @Override
    public Biome getBiome(WorldInfo worldInfo, int x, int y, int z) {
        Environment env = worldInfo.getEnvironment();
        return (env == Environment.NORMAL) ? Biome.JUNGLE : (env == Environment.NETHER) ? Biome.NETHER_WASTES : Biome.THE_END;
    }

    @Override
    public List<Biome> getBiomes(WorldInfo worldInfo) {
        Environment env = worldInfo.getEnvironment();
        return (env == Environment.NORMAL) ? Arrays.asList(Biome.JUNGLE) : 
                    (env == Environment.NETHER) ? Arrays.asList(Biome.NETHER_WASTES) : Arrays.asList(Biome.THE_END);
    }

}

[sterile hinge]

YES

and now use switch expressions instead of those ternary expressions please

[hoary scarab]

java 8

I gotta switch that plugins workspace to java 17

[spiral prairie]

switches are in java 8

duh

[sterile hinge]

😵‍💫

[sterile hinge]

switch expressions aren't

[spiral prairie]

yes

[hoary scarab]

Object variable = switch() {}

[spiral prairie]

?

[hoary scarab]

Thats a switch expression

[spiral prairie]

i know

you can still use switches

[hoary scarab]

Its not in java 8

[spiral prairie]

yes?

never said that

[hoary scarab]

He's talking about those though

[dense drift]

Put the return inside the case

[spiral prairie]

i knoooow

[surreal lynx]

Is there a simple method you can check if a number is incrementing in order:

Example:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
(correct)

Using spoilers to demonstrate the numbers that should be there, but aren't:
1, 2, ||3,|| 4, ||5,|| 6, ||7,|| ||8,|| ||9,|| 10
(bad)

[icy shadow]

for each number
  if number != previous + 1
    it's bad

[surreal lynx]

Thank you

[hoary scarab]

The issue is the more numbers you have the more it has to loop through

[dense drift]

the issue?

[broken elbow]

how'd you fix this so called issue?

make the list smaller? :))

[hoary scarab]

Yeah if hes missing number 7367462 thats alot to loop through

[dense drift]

ok aaaand?

and no, he won't have that many

[icy shadow]

i dont think it's possible to do in anything better than O(n)

[hoary scarab]

I use to have ID's based on ints. I got way higher then that

[dense drift]

I'm saying that because I know what he's doing, cmon yapp, some common sense

obv int ids can go higher, the limit is 2.7b xD

[broken elbow]

I mean I want to hear what he'd do instead.

I'm intrigued

[hoary scarab]

I switched to UUIDs instead of checking for missing ints every time I needed a new id.

[queen plank]

I tried getting this to work, but for some reason I can't join my test server when there is a void world being loaded. I just says "connecting" in my client, and no stack traces in the console. Also, only a Session.LOCK, DIM1 and uid.dat is created, nothing else :/ Any idea why this might be happening?

[lyric gyro]

Do it in single player man

[queen plank]

Well the thing is I need a void world to be made for my plugin. If there isn't one on the server, the plugin should make one. And I can't really jump on every server and make one myself

[median glen]

I got curious and looked it up, and the answer is not exactly this.
In case of getting metadata, you get back the list of stored values of that given key, and the list contains values for all plugins.
So, in case of common names, when getting stored metadata, you would have to filter for plugins after getting values.
But if you prefix your key with some unique thing (like plugin name), the chance for key coincidence is minimized.
Same thing for hasMetadata too.
So I would recommend everyone to prefix keys with something unique.
If you are curious for the code, here it is:
https://pastes.dev/fBMM97KTEM

[lyric gyro]

the metadata api sucks ass

partly because it's never actually used for its intended purpose, which was a horrible idea even

[median glen]

well I have a player action which has two stages: player selects something, then something else.
For this (to store some state between the two parts), metadata api is great I think.

[hoary scarab]

What version is your server?

[lyric gyro]

I mean you could achieve the exact same thing with a Map of your own

[median glen]

yeah but if the framework provides an easy way I'll use that

[lyric gyro]

Bear in mind that metadata api is leaky as fuck because nothing is removed (unload of chunks/worlds/entities) ever unless you do

[median glen]

Server is restarted every day, and I clean it up most of the time, so it's fine for us

[lyric gyro]

The original idea of it was to provide an easy means for plugins to communicate between each other

But like, nobody uses it for that and it was never actually promoted

so it was left there to rot lol

[median glen]

Between each other, interesting

[lyric gyro]

yeah

[median glen]

There are other better ways for that I suppose

[lyric gyro]

but reality is, any self-respectable plugin will provide an API of their own of sorts

(because passing shit between a giant ass Map is a horrible idea and constrained to types already provided by the existing libraries only)

[queen plank]

Nvm, I'm to tired for this. I sat here for 2-3 hrs trying to figure out why it did not work. And did not once notice that I exported my plugin to the wrong destination lol. So thank you! The world gen works great!

[median glen]

Oh btw just a random fact that if you want a paste service that is serverless (data is stored inside the URL), check this out. I think it's awesome for smaller pastes.
https://github.com/topaz/paste

[hoary scarab]

I do that more often then I would like to admit. Especially when I use maven to output jars lol.
Glad you got it to work.

[lyric gyro]

topaz cringe 👎

[queen plank]

Yeah, I just recently changed the output dir. So I thought it exported correctly, but it just went to the old folder lol. Thanks again :))

[lyric gyro]

paste.helpch.at relieved

[median glen]

I wrote a short article on how metadata works, maybe it helps others too 🙂
https://gitlab.com/Arphox.HobbyProjects/minecraft/mcdevkb/-/blob/master/articles/metadata storage.md

[surreal lynx]

Does anyone know why the second if statement isn't getting called?

        for (String currentEntry : OraxenItems.getItemNames()) {

            Material material = OraxenItems.getItemById(currentEntry).build().getType();
            int currentModelData = OraxenItems.getItemById(currentEntry).getOraxenMeta().getCustomModelData();
            int previousModelData = currentModelData - 1;
            
            if (material == null) {
                Logs.logWarning("Material is null! Cancelling debug system.");
                return;
            }
            if (currentModelData == previousModelData + 1) {
                Logs.logInfo("Model Data Match: " + material.name() + " ModelData: " + currentModelData);
            } else {
                Logs.logInfo("Model Data Mismatch: " + material.name() + " ModelData: " + currentModelData);
            }
        }

(new to java, sorry if it's something very simple)

[hoary scarab]

Your previous is -1 from your current and your check is for previous +1 which will always equal your current

int previousModelData = 0;
for (String currentEntry : OraxenItems.getItemNames()) {

    Material material = OraxenItems.getItemById(currentEntry).build().getType();
    int currentModelData = OraxenItems.getItemById(currentEntry).getOraxenMeta().getCustomModelData();
            
    if (material == null) {
        Logs.logWarning("Material is null! Cancelling debug system.");
        return;
    }
    if (currentModelData == previousModelData + 1) {
        Logs.logInfo("Model Data Match: " + material.name() + " ModelData: " + currentModelData);
    } else {
        Logs.logInfo("Model Data Mismatch: " + material.name() + " ModelData: " + currentModelData);
    }
    previousModelData = currentModelData;
}
```Should work.

[surreal lynx]

Oh, I see the issue

Thank you

[sage kettle]

Hello i would like to display custom text above players names

I tried theses:

• Scoreboards (Below_Name) (bukkit api and NMS) problem: one '0' is displayed before text

• AmorStand moving with the player (event handler or scheduler) problem: bugged and expensive for server calculations

• ArmorStand on passenger on the player (Player#addPassenger(ArmorStand))
  problem: player name will not display anymore + cannot change offset between player and armorstand

• Other entities for Player#addPassenger
  problem: same of armorstand + customName of riding entity is not displayed if entity is invisible

Does someone know why this doesn't work / other methods ?

[lyric gyro]

IBlockData isn't a mojmapped name, it's a Spigot deobf one

https://nms.screamingsandals.org/1.18.2/net/minecraft/world/level/block/state/BlockState.html

[hoary scarab]

I use both so how can I get them to work like they use too?

Would prefer to not have to use reflection for all future minecraft versions lol

[lyric gyro]

For when using mojang mappings just use them normally but also add the.. whatever special-source-plugin md5 provides, it remaps your jar so it works with the reobfed server used at runtime

[hoary scarab]

Yeah I have that maven config.

If I remove remapped-mojang it compiles fine but causes errors on the server. But if I use remapped I can't use the proper classes.

[lyric gyro]

"proper classes"?

[hoary scarab]

IBlockData, BlockData, WorldServer etc...

[lyric gyro]

your source code for 1.17/1.18 won't have those names

it would have the mojang names

[hoary scarab]

For example with WorldServer it wants me to use ServerWorld and that causes errors

[lyric gyro]

causes errors when or where?

[hoary scarab]

in the code. It won't let CraftWorld be casted

[lyric gyro]

CraftWorld is CraftWorld, not ServerLevel ?

can you actually show what you're trying to do? I'm having a hard time understanding the situation

[hoary scarab]

I have code that works with the 1.17 jar. That code no longer works with the 1.18 jar (Any of them) I need it to work.

I have used the maven depends (all of them), used the maven config from the 1.18 release. Nothing will let the code work on a 1.18 server.

Its hard to show because I would have to show the whole project and I am not sending that many pictures lol

[formal crane]

How do i open a book for a player (one that is not in the inventory) ?

List<String> payMsg = CityRPPaycheck.plugin.getConfig().getStringList("Message");

                            if (!payMsg.contains("%a%")) {

                            }

Im trying to figure out why it is not replacing the placeholder %a% with the amount

[west socket]

Are you trying to use PAPI?

[wise steeple]

No

[junior shard]

No, its just a local placeholder so that people can place the amount of their paycheck anywhere in the message

[west socket]

Oh I see

Have you tested to see if it’s getting past the contains check?

[west socket]

Hmm

[junior shard]

if (!payMsg.contains("%a%")) {
                                player.sendMessage("Debug: Passed contains check");

[lyric gyro]

you are checking if the list contains a string "%a%"
not if a string in the list contains %a%

[junior shard]

but it isn't passing the placeholder replace

[junior shard]

So should I just do a for (String s : payMsg)?

[lyric gyro]

yeah basically just stick with what's inside the else case

[junior shard]

Just just put what's in my else { into the if player#hasPermission, yeah?

[lyric gyro]

what?

there's no hasPermission check in there

[junior shard]

oh

I didn't include it in the paste

all of that code I pasted is contained within if (player.hasPermission(perm)) {

[lyric gyro]

from what you showed, just use what's in the else block

[junior shard]

if (player.hasPermission(perm)) {

  player.sendMessage("Debug: Passed perm check");

  List<String> payMsg = CityRPPaycheck.plugin.getConfig().getStringList("Message");

  player.sendMessage("Debug: Placeholder replace");

  List<String> plhPayMsg = new ArrayList<>();

  EconomyResponse r = econ.depositPlayer(player, amt);

  for (String s : payMsg) {
    if (s.contains("%a%")) {
    String newStr = s.replaceAll("%a%", amt.toString());
    plhPayMsg.add(newStr);
  } else {
    plhPayMsg.add(s);
    }
  }

  for (int i = 0; i <= plhPayMsg.size(); i++) {
    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', plhPayMsg.get(i)));
  }
  return;                        
}

[tight junco]

what is this tabbing

[junior shard]

its just because I didn't copy the spaces before the hasPerm check lol

[junior shard]

[tight junco]

that emoji has british teeth

what is up with that

[junior shard]

lolol

@lyric gyro worked, ty

Guess I was just over complicating it

[queen plank]

Isn't this how you get potion effects, PotionEffectType.getByKey(new NamespacedKey(plugin, "slowness"))?

[lyric gyro]

yes except the effect isn't "yours" (the key namespace isn't your plugin), you'd use NamespacedKey.minecraft("slowness")

[queen plank]

Ahh, I see. Thank you!

[hoary scarab]

So even after switching all spigots deobf classes to their mojang mapped counter parts I still get the same errors I did with the old code.

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_18_R1.CraftWorld

[dense drift]

would be possible to create a mariadb table and add default data?

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `USER_ROLES`
(
    id   INT PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL
);```

I have this table and id like to add two roles `(1, 'professor')` and `(2, 'student')`

[hoary scarab]

It would help If I changed the import to 18_R2 🤦

[dense drift]

INSERT IGNORE INTO `USER_ROLES` (id, name)
VALUES (1, 'professor'),
       (2, 'student');```
I guess this will do it

How would i make clickable text in a book? (example: https://gyazo.com/d5a5cbaac3278c4ed2d3265c27f5344e)

can anyone help me with an error?
can't really understand on where to look

dm me if you can help ig

[shell moon]

[lyric gyro]

sends messages
"me when can't send messages"
mfw

[icy path]

lmao

[formal crane]

How would i run code when a player clicks on a textcomponent in a book?

[icy path]

tried this ? https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/clickable-text-in-book.269274/

[formal crane]

I know how to like make it do something but its limited to this (see picture below) and i am trying to open a diffrent book instead of one of those actions

[proud pebble]

what event is that?>

[formal crane]

wdym?

[queen plank]

I haven't dealt with books like this before, but I'm pretty sure they work like clickable text. A.K.A. you can't run code from them, you have to force the player to run a command (RUN_COMMAND) and then run the code from there.

[formal crane]

is it possible for the command to be ran from console?

[queen plank]

Not to my knowledge, you will have to sudo the player.

But the player won't see that the command is ran, only the console

[formal crane]

Do you think hypixel does this also this way?

[queen plank]

Probably not

[formal crane]

oh

[queen plank]

They have a heavily modified version of minecraft. It is all custom made

So they have access to different tools than us

[proud pebble]

exactly what i just asked, what event is that, i cant find an even relating to book gui clicking

[queen plank]

You have to make a text component in a book

And add a click event to it

[proud pebble]

ahh ok

[queen plank]

It's not an event

[formal crane]

TextComponent chatAbuseScam = new TextComponent("○ Chat Abuse/Scam");
chatAbuseScam.setClickEvent(new ClickEvent(ClickEvent.Action.idkaeventyouchose));

[proud pebble]

i didnt know that.

[formal crane]

like this

[queen plank]

Yeah, like that

Well now you do :))

[proud pebble]

well given the limited options i would suggest creating a command that opens the new book.

[queen plank]

Yeah, that is the only way I think

[formal crane]

yea probably but i don't want te player to be able to execute the command without clicking in the book

[proud pebble]

not much else you could do unless you are able to figure out the packet thats sent when you click the book and use protocol lib or smth

if there is a packet thats sent that is

[formal crane]

prob just gonna give the player a perm and remove it after orsm (to execute the cmd from the clicked text)

[queen plank]

I have a similar system in my plugin. I use a clickable chat conversation but it works the same. When a player starts a conversation, they are added to a set. And the command listener returns immediately if the player sending the command is not in said set, and then removed from it once the conversation is over. It prevents what you want

[proud pebble]

yeah that can work

actually the second one would probably work best.

its what i do for when i want a value input

[queen plank]

The time changes correctly in the world, but the gamerules do not save. Any idea why this is happening?```java
World world = Bukkit.getWorld(worldName);
if (world == null) {
WorldCreator w = new WorldCreator(worldName);
w.generateStructures(false);
w.environment(Environment.NORMAL);
w.generator(new VoidWorld());
w.type(WorldType.NORMAL);
dataWorld = Bukkit.createWorld(w);
} else
dataWorld = world;

dataWorld.setTime(0);
dataWorld.setDifficulty(Difficulty.EASY);
dataWorld.setGameRule(GameRule.DO_DAYLIGHT_CYCLE, false);
dataWorld.setGameRule(GameRule.DO_WEATHER_CYCLE, false);
dataWorld.setGameRule(GameRule.DO_MOB_SPAWNING, false);
dataWorld.setGameRule(GameRule.MAX_ENTITY_CRAMMING, Integer.MAX_VALUE);

[neon wren]

The changes don't occur before the world is created, I also believe that MV stores the world properties you set in a config, and does it on startup, but I may be incorrect.

[graceful juniper]

How does one go by setting the player's hp via attributes? (Using setHealth has its limits and for some reason i cant edit it in the spigot.yml).
I've tried this: this.player.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH).addModifier(new AttributeModifier(UUID.randomUUID(), Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH.getKey().getKey(), playerHealth, AttributeModifier.Operation.ADD_NUMBER));
but all that does is add the health as you can tell, but i want to set, there isnt an operation to set and I can't seem to find another way of doing so.
I am using Spigot 1.16.5 for this

[tight junco]

d;spigot Damageable#setHealth

[uneven lantern]

org.bukkit.entity.Damageable#setHealth

void setHealth(double health)
throws IllegalArgumentException```

Description:

Sets the entity's health from 0 to getMaxHealth(), where 0 is dead.

Parameters:

health - New health represented from 0 to max

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - Thrown if the health is < 0 or > getMaxHealth()

Requested by: Ori • spigot

[graceful juniper]

How does one go by setting the player's hp via attributes? (Using setHealth has its limits and for some reason i cant edit it in the spigot.yml).

[queen plank]

Are the settings not changed after the world is made? The world is created above? Also, I'm not using MV :).

[edgy lintel]

anyone have experience using atomic variables
it just doesnt work for me
when im trying to update it which is static in the main class
in other async threads

am using the set get method of the atomic variable
no manual increment or anything like tehat

[lyric gyro]

Show, and what does “it doesent work for me” mean lmao

[graceful hedge]

well

usually you want to use updateAndGet or getAndUpdate (if the new value is dependent on the old value)

just the mere volatile/wrapping with AtomicReference does not inherently fix all concurrency update problems

also btw static state to some extent is terrible for multi threading

[sterile hinge]

[broken elbow]

is there a way to get the index of an entry or a key in a map? Specifically an index of an entry from this maphttps://github.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/blob/e12f1b50229037197f9b406ae2af3d172e8fb9dc/Essentials/src/main/java/net/essentialsx/api/v2/services/BalanceTop.java#L38. It's mentioned that they're ordered. Do I just have to use a for loop?

[sterile hinge]

as a Map itself doesn't even expose any concept of indexes, yes, you need to use a for loop if you need one specific position

[broken elbow]

but to loop, I'd have to use Map#entrySet. Couldn't that mess up the order?

[sterile hinge]

that's not further specified, but I guess order is kept there

[sterile hinge]

and as it is an implementation detail, you should not rely on that :)

[solar lake]

EntrySet::toArray() is an available function iirc. Therefore you’d have an indexed EntrySet. I also think it would be ordered because what you had shown above was a LinkedHashMap

[lyric gyro]

Sets don't guarantee ordering either, the ordering of the array will depend on the ordering of the map entries

:executing 'apply patches to decompiled jar'

[solar lake]

Yes, but entries in a LinkedHashMap are guaranteed to be in order (throughout the lifetime of the map) due to them having pointers. But as you’ve mentioned, regular HashMap does not guarantee ordinality

[lyric gyro]

correct, and the fact they're using a LHM is an implementation detail in and of itself (unless they're returning it as a LHM rather than a Map which.. they aren't (in other words it's not part of the public contract))

[dark garnet]

why does it make me do this:

int random = new Random().nextInt(9);
String code = String.valueOf(random) + random + random + random;```                                                                             **^**
instead of this:```java
int random = new Random().nextInt(9);
String code = String.valueOf(random + random + random + random);```                                                                                                                                       **^**
if i do it the second way, it only returns 2 integers rather than 4

[inner jolt]

The first code block you sent will convert random to a string, and then add on the other integers as a string
The second code block will add together the integers and then convert the result to a string

for example, the first code block:

random = 7
String.valueOf(7) = "7"
"7" + 7 + 7 + 7 = "7777"

the second code block:

random = 7
String.valueOf(7 + 7 + 7 + 7) = String.valueOf(28) = "28"

[dark garnet]

oh lmao

If ur plugin is bungee plugin…ig you can get all the player on the server instance…you don’t need a hashmap

[graceful hedge]

I mean make a bungee plugin of it, else you'll have to deal with a lot of awkward problems which you'll have to basically duct tape around.

[night ice]

I agree with the above, but if u really want to do it…the logic would be something like this

When someone /msgs add whom he sent that message to, later if you recieve a message from that user u could process it with the data in the map…

but its absolutely better to make it as a bungee plugin

[junior shard]

Does the scheduler method delay for extra time then set sometimes? Is this a known bug or is it a result of an error or something?

It works 90% of the time but occasionally will skip over for one of the people using my plugin. No errors in console

[dusty frost]

the scheduler schedules whenever it can

there's no guarantees when it does anything

[junior shard]

Is there another way I can have something on a repeating interval

[graceful hedge]

ScheduledExecutorService

altho that might be overkill

[night ice]

It won’t skip…as star said, it might have some micro sec delays…if its skipping, u need t check out the code

[junior shard]

Hmm alright

[twilit delta]

this.saveConfig();
this.reloadConfig();
ConsoleCommandSender console = getServer().getConsoleSender();
String botToken = getConfig().getString("discord-token");
console.sendMessage(botToken);

Is there anything wrong with the way im getting my config? When I update the value it doesnt change.

[west tangle]

Okay, this may be a noob question, but I'm asking it anyways.
I recently asked on another server how to make an easier ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes() methot, and I was sent this, but cant figure out how to use it.
I'm a bit new to development, and doesn't undestand methods that well.
How does this work and how do I use it?

public static String replaceColors(String input) {
    return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', message);
}

[lyric gyro]

You’re getting it correctly, but are you reloading your config before you try to access the value after changing it?

You can either add in a reload command to your plugin or just restart the server after making changes

Oh wait I see the reload, my bad :P

What’s the full context then?

[twilit delta]

I added reload to test something, it still doesnt update the value on server restart.

19.03 17:54:14 [Server] ERROR Error occurred while enabling SnowyRPGPlugin v2.0 (Is it up to date?)
19.03 17:54:14 [Server] INFO java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not acquire lock in a reasonable timeframe! (10 seconds)

[lyric gyro]

It’s basically a shortcut function that just makes things look neater.

String coloredMessage = “&cThis message is red”

// you can either do this:
ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes(‘&’, coloredMessage);

// or this
replaceColors(coloredMessage)

I’m sure you could tell which one is cleaner!

[lyric gyro]

Is that the full error?

[west tangle]

The "message" gets an error, what does that do?

[lyric gyro]

Yeah your method probably doesn’t work

The argument you’re passing is called input

[west tangle]

Yes

I undestand, but what does message do

[lyric gyro]

And you’re trying to use a variable called message

[west tangle]

When should i declare that variable?

[lyric gyro]

No no, the variable message is wrong here

It’s supposed to be ‘input’, since that’s the argument in the method

[west tangle]

Oh yeah

Your right

[lyric gyro]

You either make both of them input or both of them message

[west tangle]

I undestand! Thank you for the help :)

I learn when you explain things

[lyric gyro]

Glad I could help!

[west tangle]

We need more people like you, everyone tells me to "Learn Java", but I can't learn when I don't undestand

[lyric gyro]

Well how are you trying to learn?

[west tangle]

I learn Java with CodeCademy, but when I'm doing Spigot Development, I mostly Google/ask other people

[lyric gyro]

Yeah so imo you shouldn’t try to code plugins while learning Java both at the same time. You need to get a good understanding of the basics first before thinking about doing anything with APIs like spigot, paper etc

You’re basically learning a language, writing your own software, learning someone else’s software and trying to use it all at the same time. You will most likely end up frustrated

[west tangle]

Yeah, I undestand, but I get bored so fast with just learning and get so exited with Spigot development

[shell moon]

bad

[west tangle]

Yeah, it's bad

[lyric gyro]

Yep, that’s understandable 😄. Spigot is fun to mess around with, but at the end of the day it’s just Java. If you’re getting bored quickly then it might be an issue with the course you’re taking

[west tangle]

Everythings costs money, you know. I don't want to pay for a course

[lyric gyro]

I’d recommend reading Head First Java, very fun book and should give you a great base to work with!

[west tangle]

CodeCademy has small projects in the course, but you need a pro membership

[shell moon]

never paid anything

and learned to code plugins

learn java first

[west tangle]

What did you use to learn?

[shell moon]

no excuses like "i have no money"

google + youtube + source codes

[west tangle]

I hate learning programming languages from YouTube

Hard to do it in your own pace

[lyric gyro]

That’s fine, a lot of people don’t actually learn much from videos, some do but a majority would grasp stuff better by reading

[west tangle]

Can't ship to Norway

[shell moon]

then you need a paid course

which leads to "i have no money"

= excuse

or you learn in the good way

or you pay someone to code it for you

otherwise you'll be asking over and over how to fix your issues

[lyric gyro]

E-books are available for that book!

[west tangle]

Does it cost to rent books in US?

[lyric gyro]

I dunno, you can probably find the book on kindle or something tho

I’m sure it’s somewhere for free if snoop around long enough

[west tangle]

Found a pdf lol

[lyric gyro]

Have fun reading! 😄

[west tangle]

700 pages

dam

I should probably buy a book instead

Can't read 700 pages on a computer

[lyric gyro]

Well I mean, you can if you really wanted to

[lyric gyro]

if (!(npc.getName().contains(PostBE.instance.getConfig().getString("npc.npcname")))) return;

Any1 knows why that doesn't work?

[lyric gyro]

Make a util?

Package name = utils
class name = Format
class information:

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;

public class Format {
    public static String chat(String s) {
        return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', s);
    }
}

usage:

player.sendMessage(Format.chat("&aHey my friends!"));

[lyric gyro]

If u know the problem, please say it! ;D

[neon wren]

I’m guessing it’s a translation color issue

[warm steppe]

literally superior:

public class ChatUtils {
    public static String color(String message) {
        return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', message);
    }

    public static void sendMessage(Player sender, String message) {
        sender.sendMessage(color(message));
    }
}

[neon wren]

As the NPC’s name may contain color you don’t compare the name to the color version

[warm steppe]

usage:

ChatUtils.sendMessage(player, "u are a &6&lpotato");

[lyric gyro]

And how can i fix it?

Oh i could do this right?

if (!(npc.getName().contains(Format.chat("&5" + PostBE.instance.getConfig().getString("npc.npcname"))))) return;

and then in the config:

npc:
  npcname: 'PostBE'

[neon wren]

No strip the npc’s name and compare it to the confit

config

I’d also suggest using dependency injection over a static variable for your instance

And possibly a place that your configuration stores the NPC rather than grabbing from config each time

[lyric gyro]

True

[neon wren]

Also possibly remove npc from npcname as it is already under npc

[lyric gyro]

FAQ Answer:

Online Courses:
Online courses are also great for learning java. Some websites that offer them are:

• Coursera - Free unless you want a certificate
• PluralSight - Great courses from what I've seen. Mostly Paid
• Udemy - Never used them myself but they seem to all or at least most be paid.
  My first ever course was one from Coursera. - I can say it was pretty good at introducing me to the programming world as a whole not just java.

Oracle Docs:
Oracle docs can help a lot at learning and understanding java:

• Start with this,
• Breeze through this (skipping stuff that doesn't seem relevant like bitwise operators),
• Hit this.
  They're the first three from this larger thing which you should definitely go through overall. But those three should be enough for slightly better understanding of what is happening here without feeling like a huge time sink.
  That one is a small part of this larger site wherein "Essential Java Classes" and "Collections" also have good useful stuff

Other services:
Some other cool services that will help you learn java are:

• SoloLearn
• W3Schools
• JetBrains Academy

As you can see there are plenty of good ways to learn as long as you're willing to invest the time. Have fun learning!

You need to iterate over each keys and check whether the value is what you want

Hey guys I'd like to ask for help with dynamically registering Listener implementations to guice IoC container.
I want to write reflection code which finds all Listener implementations in my code base and registers it.

[wheat carbon]

There's libraries like org.reflections & classgraph which can scan the classpath, they may be of use to you

guava also has a classpath scanning util, if you want to use something already in spigot

an alternative, and my preferred solution, is to scan the actual jar - https://github.com/PiggyPiglet/TemplateForSecretX/blob/main/src/main/java/me/piggypiglet/template/scanning/implementations/ZISScanner.java

[median glen]

thank you I will try to understand these

[dense drift]

pig, dont you use that system to read external jars?

[wheat carbon]

can be used for both

[dense drift]

ah, nice

[wheat carbon]

although that specific implementation wouldn't work for it

the papi 3 zis scanner works for both

it's just todo with the class loader, the linked impl has it hardcoded, in papi 3 it's given in an argument

[wary dust]

If you have the same listener being registered in multiple classes, would it be worthwhile making an abstract class with that listener in and then the 2+ classes extending that class?
Therefore the actual listener only gets fired once idk like does that save anything at all

like if theres 2 PlayerMoveEvents

might be a dumb question but

[high edge]

probably helps with organization

[sterile hinge]

uhm the actual listener would still be called for each instance

[wary dust]

I mean yeah I guess you only have to register it once

[sterile hinge]

not sure how you want to accomplish that

[wary dust]

well I coded it and then realised it might not actually be doing anything except just making stuff more organised and preventing registering of listeners a bunch of times

[sterile hinge]

you still need to register each listener

[wary dust]

nah so

[high edge]

You only need to register the abstract one no?

[wary dust]

^^

[sterile hinge]

how would you do that?

[wary dust]

I did it with two classes, the abstract and then the actual class which fires the listeners and also implements listener

so the abstract is the one they extend

and the handler is the one that fires them

[dense drift]

if you register the subclasses, you will have n listeners

[sterile hinge]

can you show some code? I probably completely misunderstand what you're doing, but from my current understanding, that wouldn't really work

[wary dust]

I mean it is working I'm just wondering if its helping with anything except organisation

but sure

and then theres multiple classes extending TwistListener and using spawn event

also ignore the constructor its kinda a workaround for another plugin

[sterile hinge]

okay, but every of these listeners needs to be registered?

[wary dust]

not independently

only "TwistListenerHandler" class needs to be registered

idk its probs really pointless

its just cus its a big project using repeated listeners

[high edge]

I mean just use it for organization sake

[sterile hinge]

How are the others registered?

[wary dust]

those are both the same class ^

they arent registered

[dense drift]

.

[dense drift]

the listener is added to a collection, and then they iterate over that collection calling the specific method for each event

[sterile hinge]

Ah lol I see

Totally missed that

[median glen]

When I call set on PersistentDataContainer, does it serialize and stuff? So I shouldn't call it often?
