and in-case something changes with the material and it can't find the item, there's an error thrown in the console + the item isn't air but it's set to bedrock (as sort of precaution for even a human-error mistake)

[boreal orchid]

would avoid all of that by using the key and then doing:

StreakItem:
  Lose:
    type: "minecraft:diamond"
    Display: "<c:#8cc1cd>Streak: <red><streak>"
    Lore:
    - "the lore"
  Win:
    Material: "gold_ingot"
    Display: "<c:#8cc1cd>Streak: <green><streak>

ItemStack item;
ItemType type = Registry.ITEM.get(Key.key(type));
if (type != null)
  item = type.createItemStack();
else
  item = ItemStack.empty();

benefit also that it filters out block types (since they're on a separate registry), so you don't have to worry about things like accidentally creating an ItemStack with a block type

[lime ermine]

That looks interesting, I'll take a look at that

[sweet hornet]

Tbf, what's even more cursed, it that their JD states the opposite: https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure/blob/main/5/text-minimessage/src/main/java/net/kyori/adventure/text/minimessage/tag/resolver/Formatter.java#L131

This replacement is auto-closing, so its style will not influence the style of following components.

Still, this is an interesting one. When you append something to <red>Text, you expect it get inherit the red styling, while when you append it to <red>Text</red>, you expect the red styling to get closed and thus not inherited. But that's not true, because in fact the 2 syntax (closed and unclosed) are strictly equivalent! This is a kind of bias from the brain thinking that the append occurs at the "MM-encoded string" level, when in reality it occurs at component level

If you wanted to keep the standard formatter that returns inserting tags instead of selfClosingInserting for some reason, you would've to write: You have <type:won:lost></type> <type:'<green><streak>':'<red><streak>'></type> coinflips

Which isn't pretty, yeah

[boreal orchid]

I had to look at the debug output and couldn't understand what was going on lol, but that makes sense

made a test case and everything

[coarse echo]

Can someone please help me to find a RedStone Limiter?
I need a 1.21.1 PaperMC plugin to limit the redstone usage cuz there are some players with a big redstone farms and server is lagging even with 10GB ram. Can someone send a RedStone Limiter Plugin link to this thread? Ping me please.

[sweet hornet]

#paper-help but honestly idk if this server is the right place to ask for plugins

[winter socket]

how do I flatten a component while keeping its styles? basically to turn the first box to the second

[sweet hornet]

In your example, Component#compact() should do it

[winter socket]

oh lol, thanks!

[sweet hornet]

But the example you shown contains no style also 😅

Compacting will preserve the style, but the result won't necessarily be "flat"

[winter socket]

yeah it was just an example thing to test why these two components aren't equal

is there another way to do this? (guh did I xy myself)

[sweet hornet]

It'll be a visually identical equivalent component, generally smaller in size to represent in memory

Basically it's hard to test true visual equality

If that's what you want to achieve

But why would you want that

[winter socket]

so I should try to flatten both components before comparing?

[winter socket]

the short version is that I'm working on some API for in-game players and the expected behavior from players is that visually similar components should be equal

the idea of "components" is not really exposed

[sweet hornet]

Compacting both component could help yes, but there are case where two visually equals components won't be structurally equals, even after compaction

[winter socket]

if it helps reduce these cases I'm all for it, a good enough solution, thank you :)

[sweet hornet]

And couldn't you get out by comparing your technical representation (your data model BEFORE it gets turned into visual components for players)?

If you see what I mean

[winter socket]

this isn't really applicable in my case but I appreciate it!

[hexed field]

what is the correct usage for the atlas? the documentation is incorrect as sprite:item/emerald will correctly display an emerald sprite, but sprite:"minecraft:items":item/emerald displays an empty box

minecraft:blocks atlas works

oh, is it only in 1.21.11? i'm on 1.21.10. nice.

[hexed field]

is there any way to tell if a block/item is in the atlas? i know this is something that only the client knows but want to not have to manage a list myself manually

[sweet hornet]

As discussed here, there’s not an easy way, no

[sage pivot]

follow up to this but i believe doing this would change the title of what im using is there a way to make a copy?

im looking a custom inventory view right now just tryna derive some information from the title

[tidal river]

how does one convert BinaryTag to String or Json?

[sweet hornet]

A copy of what? A copy of a component? Components are immutable, any operation "mutating" them makes and returns a copy

[sage pivot]

oh i see

[wicked torrent]

... you probably don't want to do that

implement InventoryHolder instead, checking titles or generally using components for data storage like that is an anti-pattern

https://docs.papermc.io/paper/dev/custom-inventory-holder/

[sage pivot]

unfortunately im checking an inventory that's from a datapack otherwise i would definitely use this approach

[stark badger]

BinaryTagIO iirc

[tidal river]

got answer in minestom 🙂

MinestomAdventure has a utility function

[river orchid]

Hey, is there an scenario where MiniMessage#deserialize can return something that is not a TextComponent?
(I'm assuming it is returning a TextComponent, tbh idk)

[sweet hornet]

Why?

[river orchid]

Because I need a TextComponent, and I have the suspicion that doing something like this may not be safe:

TextComponent firstComponent = (TextComponent) MiniMessage.miniMessage().deserialize(first);

[sweet hornet]

This doesn't tell why

[river orchid]

I don't understand what you mean then, could you elaborate please? Why what?

[sweet hornet]

Why do you want a text component?

Sorry

Why do you want to convert the output of MM to a text component?

[river orchid]

I need this function
https://jd.advntr.dev/api/4.25.0/net/kyori/adventure/text/TextComponent.html#content()

[sour totem]

.. and what do you need the string contents for?

[river orchid]

Oh, ok I think I should explain the entire thing I'm trying to do
I'm experimenting a little bit with packets to modify the MOTD of the server
For the PacketType.Status.Server.RESPONSE (in packetevents) I only have a json, which expects a "text" field for the MOTD.
I gave paper source a quick read to see how they handle this and found this:

PlainTextContents.create(((TextComponent) this.adventure).content())

Which is later used in the minecraft chat component

I'm not yet entirely sure if the result of TextComponent#content is what I need for this, but this was part of the experiment ig

[sweet hornet]

If you want to extract the plain text from a component, you can use the PlainTextComponentSerializer

It'll erase all the style and special objects, and only keep texts

[river orchid]

I was expecting to preserve colors, styles and other text features like heads/sprites

[sweet hornet]

I think you could achieve a similar result when starting from an MM-encoded string by using MiniMessage#stripTags, which may be simpler

iirc MOTD does not support components, so you'd have to use legacy encoding (LegacyComponentSerializer)

[river orchid]

it does actually, give me a min (look at my head in the motd)

[sweet hornet]

Wait maybe they use a weird alternative legacy-like syntax for styling

Or it is now possible since recent update maybe

[sour totem]

you can use the gson component serializer to turn any component into json which packetevents seems to need, but we've also got some longstanding api in paper for ping responses you should consider using

[river orchid]

Actually, this started due to this issue:
https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/issues/8073
I found a workaround using PacketType.Play.Server.SERVER_DATA and then got the idea to do the same but for PacketType.Status.Server.RESPONSE

Basically doing everything using packets looked like a fun challenge, so I'm now giving it a try

[jolly sage]

a really specific and odd use case: what would the best way to add markers into components, invisible to the players (in a tooltip for example) but so that plugins can use them to figure out a "meaning" of that component
I want to use this for lores, and there can be arbitrary other data in the lore, so when parsing the lore I want to mark some lines so when parsing the same lore in the future, the plugin knows which lore lines to find/modify/avoid/whatever

[sweet hornet]

Just don't

Components are visual elements, not a storage system

To store arbitrary data on an item (because you talked about lore), you can use PDC

You can access that data from plugins, and even see it in the vanilla item data if you want to, for debugging purpose

And many more elements supports PDC, not just items

[jolly sage]

that's exactly true
but in my scenario it does not make sense to store such data on the item :(
let me give somewhat of an example: a "super ender pearl" which requires a player to have at least 100 experience levels to use it
when a player without that much xp is holding it, there appear some lines in the lore saying exactly that, "You need 100 XP levels to use this item"
but when he drops that item to someone who has 100 xp or he gets 100 xp himself that lore must disappear, and the plugin will know exactly which lines to remove, without removing the rest of the lore
sure it can, instead of lore, be a chat message, but that would be just for "using" an item, there's a lot of other possibilities

right now I'm consindering adding a content="" component with a very specific color as a first child of the main component but i'll think about this more tomorrow

[cloud vapor]

You'll find it much easier to simply recreate the lore from scratch when needed

[jolly sage]

wouldn't it break with arbitrary items for which the user may have manually edited the lore (/data modify ...)?

[boreal orchid]

If you’re allowing players to use that command then you got bigger issues lol

I would recommend just using PDC like teo suggested then just listen to the PlayerInventorySlotChangeEvent to check whether the data needs to be updated

[primal apex]

Is it possible to scale the head from the head tag to a other size?

[sweet hornet]

No, but if you put it on a text display of course you can scale the text display. In other contexts (chat, lore, dialog UI…) the size is fixed, like regular texts

[sage tiger]

Is there any guide about custom audience?

[sweet hornet]

What do you have trouble with? And what are you trying to use custom audiences for?

https://docs.papermc.io/adventure/audiences/

[sage tiger]

It seems that I was looking for ForwardingAudience 😅

[muted nymph]

who is kyori

[sand drift]

it's an organisation

[fleet rose]

how do I display horizontal lines with no breaks in the chat like in this image?

[cloud vapor]

I believe that's just strikethrough on spaces

[fleet rose]

ah thanks that worked

[dire dove]

🤯🤯

[inland heron]

miniMessage = MiniMessage.builder()
  .tags(Placeholder.component("primary", Component.translatable("palette.primary")))
  .tags(Placeholder.component("secondary", Component.translatable("palette.secondary")))
  .tags(Placeholder.component("error", Component.translatable("palette.error")))
  .tags(Placeholder.component("prefix", Component.translatable("prefix")))
  .build();

GlobalTranslator.translator().addSource(new LocaleMessageTranslator(miniMessage, this, key));

is there a proper way to do this because i know this wont work and i'm probably not doing it right

[sweet hornet]

You are overriding tags every time

Your MM instance only have prefix

You should use MiniMessage.builder().editTags(tags -> { ... })

Furthermore, I believe you want the style of the prefix to influence the rest of the message, so you should use a Tag.inserting(...) tag resolver instead of Placeholder.component(...)

[wary hollow]

how do you show items (like pickaxes) on the server list using minimessage? I've tried <sprite:blocks:item/snowball> and it works, but something like <sprite:items:item/diamond_pickaxe> doesn't, and neither does the official example <sprite:"minecraft:items":item/porkchop>

[torpid robin]

item sprites are in the blocks atlas

thats why snowball works and the other two dont

[sweet hornet]

The example is wrong yes, but things will change in the next Minecraft update, the blocks and items atlas will split

[torpid robin]

oh crap thats good to know

[near horizon]

why items in blocks atlas? mojang, what did you do?? 😭😭

[sweet hornet]

It was experimental, they said it. And now they improved it be splitting the two atlases

(Tomorrow)

[inland heron]

anyone know how to get this working

[boreal orchid]

you were told to use editTags before

[inland heron]

yes

that was edittags

[boreal orchid]

you're using it, my bad

had a stroke reading the first codeblock due to indentation

[boreal orchid]

what does your LocaleMessageTranslator look like

is there a reason you aren't just using a MiniMessageTranslationStore

[fiery oracle]

why are you calling #build in the consumer?

[inland heron]

https://pastes.dev/AnH0F2FM3U

[fiery oracle]

what platform & version of adventure are you using?

[inland heron]

did not know that existed

[inland heron]

that was an accident and i have no idea how that compiled

[inland heron]

whichever came with paper 1.21.10-R0.1-SNAPSHOT

[fiery oracle]

it's a consumer so it's not like there's a value being returned, so it compiles

[inland heron]

ah

[boreal orchid]

issue might just be that you mispelled palette in the language file

[fiery oracle]

oh yea that file says pallet, lol

[inland heron]

OH

i feel so stupid now

[fiery oracle]

i mean if it makes you feel better, i also missed that

[inland heron]

yeah it works now

thank you

[boreal orchid]

I missed it the first time, but after looking at the LocaleMessageTranslator class, I assumed something else was wrong since it looked fine so I looked harder

[boreal orchid]

if you want to have the IDE yell at you for keys that don't exist on the resource bundle, you can use the jetbrains annotations thingy and an util method like so:

public static Component tr(
    @PropertyKey(resourceBundle = "messages") String key,
    Object... args
) {
    return Component.translatable(key, args);
}

this will make it error if you use a key that isn't in the bundle messages

also lets you do tab completion on the keys in the resource bundle

[inland heron]

im using yaml files for locales which probably isnt the best way to do it but ill keep this in mind

[boreal orchid]

.properties file are commonly used for locale files, but yaml is fine too

the above approach won't work for it but it is what it is

[inland compass]

is it possible to save/apply settings immediately when cycling these options? or does it have to rely on another action?
https://docs.papermc.io/_astro/input-multi-options.CgHkNz2V_ZFE0MH.webp

[sweet hornet]

Not really, it’s all client-side until he submit

[tough peak]

Is there a way to replace a text inside string white still retaining it as a string? I want to use the TagResolver on a string without trning it into a component

[fiery oracle]

why?

[sand drift]

I mean, String.replace?

if you want to use component manipulation then you need the component tree

I mean, you would be better off writing a custom tag for that given that you'd likely need to deal with PAPI expansion fun

[tough peak]

oh right

I can do like a papi:palceholder

[midnight spire]

is adventure 4.26 not deployed to central?

or rather, is not deployed on purpose? xD I can see it isn't myself I guess: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/net.kyori/adventure-bom/versions

[sour totem]

#adventure-help message

[midnight spire]

I see. I guess I use snapshot for now but imo there should be a manual deploy done to not cause more confusion lol

[jolly sage]

I switched from TranslationStore.messageFormat to MiniMessageTranslationStore.create to be able to use minimessage in the resource bundles but now all arguments are missing, they show up as {0} ingame too both in chat and in item lores where i explicitly invoke the global translator

Is this supposed to be like that and how do I get the arguments to work?

[cloud vapor]

arg:0 arg:1

https://docs.papermc.io/adventure/minimessage/translator/#using-a-minimessage-translator

[jolly sage]

guess that's it lol thank you
I just looked at the subclasses of TranslationStore in my ide and noticed the minimessage and used it xD

[rich merlin]

Are color tags like <red> supported in the server.properties motd string?

[sweet hornet]

Have you tried it?

[fiery oracle]

no

[boreal orchid]

nope, there was a PR for it but it got closed (pre-softspoon)

[sweet hornet]

Vanilla won't support it, but plugins might do dark magic to add support to it I guess

[boreal orchid]

https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/pull/9625

[rich merlin]

Of course its possible with plugins

[prisma mason]

just use MiniMOTD

[rich merlin]

I just asked out of curiosity. I don't need it to be possible.

But thank you 🙂

[flint panther]

When i want to display certain items in chat, can i get the sprite path from an itemStack?
<sprite:blocks:block/diamond_block> will show a diamond block. But <sprite:blocks:block/skeleton_skull> does not show the skeleton skull. I also tried items:item/.. but also not working. Is that even possible?

[boreal orchid]

not really

I know teo send something of a workaround for that in here though, let me see if I can find it

here it is

they didn't send the whole thing it seems which is a shame

[flint panther]

ah i see, but I cant find something for the skeleton_skull for example

[sterile star]

Isn't it actually skeleton_head or something like that?

[flint panther]

at least not skeleton_head

[boreal orchid]

some items simply don't have a sprite, that might be one of them

[flint panther]

could be, sadly

[quaint monolith]

Yeah a lot of the variants don't, like you might just have the base head item

[flint panther]

is there any other way to display an item in the chat except the sprites?

something that also prints the amount there?

[quaint monolith]

Sprites or custom font

[sweet hornet]

Yeah I know, but I need to finish it before I could share it, and I kinda paused it waiting for the blocks/items split, but now that the 1.21.11 is out I guess I will get back to it

And yes no skeleton skull item or block sprite, but MHF_Skeleton player head thankfully

[flint panther]

good idea!

i tried my custom resource pack images with the sprite tag, does not seem to work, intentionally or is it usually working with resource packs?

[sweet hornet]

Have you made an atlas?

[flint panther]

yes, the blocks atlas

afaik it merges locally in the client

[sweet hornet]

You added your textures to the blocks atlas?

[flint panther]

yea, the textures are working properly on the items so it must be working

[sweet hornet]

I managed to get them to work when I played with them like a month earlier, so it’s possible, but I can’t tell exactly how I did it, it was pretty exploratory on my side

[flint panther]

ok, might have messed it up somewhere

found it, thx, i messed it up 😄

[river orchid]

Did 1.21.11 change how sprites work?
This minimessage tag <sprite:item/salmon> works fine on 1.21.10 clients, but renders "no texture" in 1.21.11 clients
And the other way around, the tag <sprite:"minecraft:items":item/salmon> works fine on 1.21.11 clients, but renders the unknown character square on 1.21.10 clients
Is there a way to print something that can be rendered on both 1.21.10 and 1.21.11?

[quaint monolith]

I think your only way to make something work on both is to ship your own resource pack and only use custom sprites

[river orchid]

I have the sprites on the motd, too early to send the resourcepack
I think I'll have to manage it based on the protocol version until I'm able to drop 1.21.10

[boreal orchid]

They separated the blocks and item atlases

Best you can do is just toggle the atlas depending on the version

Reason why it shows no texture now might be because blocks is the default atlas and you’re trying to use an item sprite

[lunar yew]

final Component homeComponent = Component.text(nameOfHome)
                            .hoverEvent(HoverEvent.showText(
                                    Component.text(
                                            plugin.getConfigManager()
                                                    .getMessage("please-select-home-hover")
                                                    .replace("%home%", nameOfHome)
                                    )
                            )).clickEvent(ClickEvent.runCommand("/home " + nameOfHome));

What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to show text in the hover and when they click have the player run a command. I'm getting Cannot resolve method 'showText(TextComponent)' inside te HoverEvent.showText() block

[sweet hornet]

Technically you should be able to remove the HoverEvent.showText(...) wrapper and do directly .hoverEvent(Component.text(...))

But this doesn't explain why you can't call the method yourself

[lunar yew]

Thanks alot! Removing it fixed the error.

and it compiled

Oh also do you know if the / in front of the command is required in this case?

ClickEvent.runCommand("/home " + nameOfHome)

[sweet hornet]

Yes you need it

[lunar yew]

Perfect thx!

[river orchid]

Yup, kinda what I was thinking, I’ll give it a try later when ai get the time

[normal hemlock]

Umm

is it possible to do something like this <click:copy_to_clipboard:<code>><code></click>?

essentially copy a placeholdeR?

[rare sage]

iirc you want to use a Placeholders.unparsed for that one

[long python]

hey isnt there like a web demo of adventure?

[sweet hornet]

https://webui.advntr.dev/

[long python]

tysm!

wait

how was it made

oh wait theres a gh

[austere berry]

how can you display a players head in minimessage?

[boreal orchid]

https://docs.papermc.io/adventure/minimessage/format/#head

[hexed field]

is anyone able to get a ClickEvent#suggestCommand to work in a Dialog ActionButton? It doesn't appear to do anything for me, and almost seems like it is not working because it doesn't close the player's open dialog
if they don't work in Dialogs, is there a way to suggest a command to through a bukkit method?

[boreal orchid]

is there a reason you don't use the command template dialog action for that?

ah wait, suggest command, not execute command

does that even work anywhere else than chat

[hexed field]

yeah, i am trying to use the staticAction

well, i'm sure it would work if it closed the dialog first

[boreal orchid]

like, for it to work on dialogs or books, it'd have to open chat window for the player

I sincerely doubt mojang accounted for that

guess it is worth a try

[hexed field]

has mojang not added a way to suggest a command to the player outside of the specific clickevent

[boreal orchid]

not that I remember, I am checking rn

they have not it seems

[hexed field]

this is so sad

[rugged leaf]

I'm processing text within components, like this:

fun traverse(text: Component, consumer: BiConsumer<String, Int>) {
    text.replaceText {
        var pos = 0
        it.match(".+").replacement { matchResult, _ ->
            val everything = matchResult.group()
            val prevPos = pos
            pos += everything.length
            consumer.accept(everything, matchResult.start() + prevPos)
            return@replacement Component.text(everything)
        }
    }
}

Just recently someone reported an issue where the whole server looks to have frozen, here's the stack (I cut out the end of the stack):
https://gist.github.com/Thorinwasher/8b2945cab749fe1078e595ab048fb3e5

• Does there exist a better alternative to traverse components (I need to know the global char-pos, which is a bit of a weird requirement for components)?
  Or
• Is this an issue with adventure, can this be fixed?

For more context:

• I need to modify the text in multiple ways, to obscure text. It's a game mechanic for making a recipe that can be found in loot more interesting.
• Recipes of the same type should be merge able, where no previous data is lost in the merging
• Therefore the global position is necessary to know, it's both used in the database and in merge processing

[rugged leaf]

Might be this exact trace if the traversing is repeated a lot 🤔

[sand drift]

I mean, it's farily hard to say with a truncated log

if all of the other traces are showing it's stuck in the same code then you would generally need to work out why

Nothing there suggests anything is directly wrong, just depending on the input complexity that might hurt

[rugged leaf]

Yep 🤔 , could just have randomly pointed to that stack at that moment of time

[rugged leaf]

Maybe testing with a profiler gives clearer statistics on this, getting server freezes like this seems like it's going to be a bit sporadic though. I get the feeling something could be wrong in the plugin, it's fairly un-optimized. Problem is that all of the text processing is randomly determined by generating a seed (which is used pseudorandomly)

Also now that I think about it, I should initialize the .+ pattern statically (I thought that was a cheap operation to do for simple patterns, might not be)

[rare sage]

compiling that pattern won't really be an issue tbh although it is good practice, it also isn't what was caught in that stack trace, but, anything could've been

[rugged leaf]

Oh, yeah that's true 👍

I also don't think matching all chars in a string would be an expensive operation, so the issue might be elsewhere

[rare sage]

you could also use the Component#iterator/iterable methods here and checking if the iterator element is a TextComponent

[rugged leaf]

Anyhow, "might" is a bad word to use in programming, bad habit of mine. I definitely need to test this

[rare sage]

unless you plan on actually replacing the text, then replaceText is not a good fit for this :d

[rugged leaf]

I think I just used it as I'm unsure what components can have text inside of them, how components render, and so on. But if it's only text components, then that's set

[rare sage]

oh, VirtualComponents exist too

you probably want to ignore those

[rugged leaf]

Alright, I will rewrite that to something of the type DFS or BFS then. 👍

[lucid torrent]

yo

so unless i'm missing something v4.26.0 has been released but not published to maven central?

oh

#adventure-help message

has it been published to a different repo?

[sterile rampart]

no

[robust wharf]

there are uuhm, operational challanges

I wanted to give it another look today

[robust wharf]

ha I think I have a fix

[robust wharf]

I have now released adventure 4.26.1, which is identically to 4.26.0 plus the CI fix

javadocs are still pending, more work needed for that

yo thx

[dull python]

does Component.translatable from a MiniMessageTranslationStore return serialized minimessage or a parsed one? i would like to think its parsed already, but i want to confirm

also how do i have per-player defaults for Component.translatable locale? i want to have something like
Translatable is called, returns in Locale A if player has set from a command, otherwise returns in locale B (locale of the client) and locale C as the overlord fallback

everything i have written till now, first time using adventure for translations:

https://pastes.dev/qOYdpa80mp

sorry about the kotlin if you are java-only

[sand drift]

I don't think that level of fallback is supported, the expectation is to just use the clients locale, or fallback to whatever the server is set to or something like that

[sweet hornet]

It's not the first time people asks for a server-side client locale tho. Would it be possible to hook a custom Function<Player, Locale> into the translator to allow this?

[tiny bone]

doing sprite:item/name_tag doesnt seem to work in paper 1.21.11 anymore, it returns the texture not found texture

worked perfectly in 1.21.10

[sour quarry]

1.21.11 split item textures into a new atlas. If you try <sprite:"minecraft:items":item/name_tag>, it should render correctly.

[tiny bone]

okay. thx!

[sweet hornet]

(You can shorten a little bit this to only <sprite:items:item/name_tag>)

You could also create your own shortcut <item_sprite:name_tag>

[cloud vapor]

yes that's totally possible right now by setting a custom target - you can use Argument.target(Pointered) as an argument in your translatable component and just make sure you set the Identity.LOCALE pointer to override/set the locale that mm will use for translation

so you'd just make some sort of util function that can create those pointered instances for you

hello I need to serialize String to TextColor.
I'd like the string to jsut be

"&0-9" or "#RRGGBB"

should I do a switch and manually asign either (NamedTextColor) or TextColor.fromHexString(string) for hex string

or is there other magical way

[fiery oracle]

what's the string for?

er rather, what's the color for?

[floral nexus]

I need to apply the color to components, but first I need to serialize it from the config

[tawny bolt]

Why not just use Minimessage?

[floral nexus]

because it would make my config super ugly for what I need to do

complex serialization that needs to be human readable and editable

and what would that change if I still need a TextColor not a Serialization

[fiery oracle]

what?

mini message is a human readable format, so im not sure what you mean by that?

[floral nexus]

it doesnt matter. I'd like to serialize simple String like "&f" or "#RRGGGBB" to TextColor object

[fiery oracle]

ok - and what if you want to specify a non-color style?

[wet kestrel]

"human readable" and "&a" don't belong in the same sentence without negation. 🙁

[fiery oracle]

say, a shadow color? or italics? or bold?

are you going to add separate options for that?

[floral nexus]

nope not the case

[fiery oracle]

it's why i asked for additional context
i don't know what is the case
but generally, specifying a single color in a config (is your problem even a user-facing config? i don't know, hence why i asked) is an anti-pattern

[tawny bolt]

there is a TextColor#fromCSSHex or similar, see the Javadocs. You can use that for the #RRGGBB format

[floral nexus]

im aware of that

[tawny bolt]

the other format hasn't been used by the game in like 12 years now and is not user-friendly, just don't

(and if you really want to, yeah what you suggest initially is probably the "best" way)

[floral nexus]

thanks that's exactly what I needed.

[dapper bay]

hi! The player head, head: thingy is for only 1.21.9+ ?

[midnight spire]

yes

[cyan ice]

Hi, how to get a shield rendered correctly as a sprite? It's maybe to hacky right? Because u need to tell that it has the normal wood color and no pattern?

shield_patterns has only this entries:

  "sources": [
    {
      "type": "minecraft:single",
      "resource": "minecraft:entity/shield_base"
    },
    {
      "type": "minecraft:single",
      "resource": "minecraft:entity/shield_base_nopattern"
    },
    {
      "type": "minecraft:directory",
      "prefix": "entity/shield/",
      "source": "entity/shield"
    }
  ]

[midnight spire]

I don't think there is a good way beyond some hacky stuff with negative spaces

[cyan ice]

[dapper bay]

thats really bad :/

[midnight spire]

@dapper bay seeing as you shouldn't be using any version older than 1.21.10 anymore it's not really that big of an issue?

[dapper bay]

a lot of player base is generally in .8/.4/.1

[midnight spire]

only if you let them

[dapper bay]

it would be okay if there is support for .8 at least...

[midnight spire]

well we haven't invented time travel yet

[sweet hornet]

What do you expect then? We're not working at Mojang Studio, they released head components in 1.21.9, so adventure provides support for them since they exist

[dapper bay]

makes sense

right now

[dull python]

can i get some feedback from you guys on what i can improve?

i am learning to work with localization

https://github.com/BingoPlugins/BingoCreativePlus

[sweet hornet]

Please ask specific question on which topic you need help, because we don't have time to review an entire project 😅

[dull python]

no worries i was just asking someone to review it for any pointers, only if you have too much free time otherwise no problem

[compact matrix]

Hello, I'm looking for clarification around comparisons when Virtual Components are involved. Based on the documentation for the emitVirtuals method for a MiniMessage builder, it sounds like you should be able to compare Components deserialized from the same MiniMessage instance. However, this does not seem to be the case.

Considering an example:

MiniMessage mm = MiniMessage.builder()
    .strict(false)
    .emitVirtuals(true)
    .tags(StandardTags.defaults())
    .build()

// the following is false
mm.deserialize("<rainbow>Hello").equals(mm.deserialize("<rainbow>Hello"))

Looking through MiniMessage source, it appears that equality checks haven't been implemented. Is it intended or expected that components like this can't be compared? Do I need to compare the serialized (string) output instead?

Feel free to ping me in any replies

[sweet hornet]

I don’t have the time currently to look at your whole question, but maybe this could help you re-think your problem: why would you ever need to compare components…??

[compact matrix]

Is there a "better" way for comparing the something like the name of an item for example against a string (or component)? For context: this is for Skript. I don't expect that kind of comparison to be common, but it does happen, and I would prefer to preserve compatibility for users.

[cloud vapor]

Yeah we don't support component comparison like that, emitVirtuals is intended for roundtrip serialising of e.g. gradients/rainbows to produce the same output as the initial input

I assume Skript has a way to store data in the PDC or similar of an item

That's how you should be doing comparisons

[compact matrix]

Yeah that would be the recommended approach for analyzing data ofc

[cloud vapor]

And the supported way yes

[compact matrix]

Though I'm sure there are users still doing name comparisons

[compact matrix]

Fair lol

[cloud vapor]

There are still a lot of users doing unsupported things, unfortunately we don't have the time or space to support everything unintended - we provide/point towards better solutions and support those instead

[compact matrix]

For sure I get that. I think, for compatibility purposes, instead analyzing the serialized content should suffice

I figured I would ask here just before resorting to that

[cloud vapor]

PDC has been around for years and years, that's actually got more compatibility than components tbh

[wet kestrel]

Still a bad idea. Use PDC.

[compact matrix]

I should clarify this is not for a script I'm writing - this is for the language itself. I'm integrating Adventure/MiniMessage into the codebase, but need to tie up compatibility for existing user code

[cloud vapor]

I'd still suggest a one-time migration to store identifiers into PDC

[wet kestrel]

I would see nothing wrong with breaking compatibility with bad design.

[compact matrix]

We have the ability to deprecate inadvisable code, so I think we can take that route with eventual removal. I appreciate the insight 🙂

[cloud vapor]

Happy to help 🫡

[primal apex]

Is there a way to set a new minimessage prefix? e.g <> to {}?
Because im working on a little gui creator for my projects and every gui is based in XML, and XML doesnt like <> characters

[sweet hornet]

Not really no

[primal apex]

So the best way would be by finding things such as {} with a regex pattern and replace it by <> right?

I mean yeah i can escape <> characters in xml, but in big config that looks terrible

[sweet hornet]

I guess, but it could cause unexpected behavior if the user uses a real </>

[wet kestrel]

I imagine there wouldn't be overlap between the xml tags you're using for the gui and the MM tags though, theoretically you could pull it all off looking like xml

[sweet hornet]

Isn't there something like <![CDATA[...]]> which allow for anything inside?

[primal apex]

yeah i will find something that looks right haha

Thanks for the help anyway!

[wet kestrel]

Honestly I think I'd find it reasonable to see like (just using html example) <div><span><b>meow</span></div> and have the <b>meow run through MM

[cloud vapor]

Most XML parsers I've used before should let you read contents as strings ignoring the tags when you're at certain places

[gritty belfry]

Hello, can I somehow get a collection of players/receivers from an Audience from an AsyncChatEvent?

[wet kestrel]

Assuming you mean paper's event, the viewers set is, I think, unique players (and maybe the server too? lost track). Further paper api questions belong in #paper-dev

[gritty belfry]

Okay, thanks!

[tiny bone]

doesnt seem to work for:
sprite:items:item/compass

[sterile star]

The items atlas doesn't exactly exist like this, idk what went on, but you can just use <sprite:item/compass> and it should work

Unless I am misremembering, which is very likely, they just kept the items under the default blocks atlas

[sweet hornet]

They split it since 1.21.11

[sweet hornet]

Yeah, there's not a single compass sprite

Each orientation has one

[sterile star]

[tiny bone]

aha

[sweet hornet]

So <sprite:items:item/compass_00>...

[tiny bone]

thx!

[tiny bone]

didnt work out, iam still getting the missing texture texture

hmm

[sweet hornet]

Mb

Fixed it

[tiny bone]

aa i see

[sweet hornet]

Don't hesitate to Ctrl + F here

[mental vine]

minecraft_textures_atlas_items.png.txt by @sweet hornet: https://pastes.dev/26fLX0aYMi

[sweet hornet]

It's the debug atlas file generated from 1.21.11

(And if you want to see the actual sprites, but just try them out in-game it's easier 😅)

[tiny bone]

yeah thx, i will indeed try them out ingame

saved that txt

now i can just ez search for it

[sweet hornet]

And because there's no magic, you can find in the vanilla resource pack (assets/minecraft/atlases/items.json) how it is generated:

{
  "sources": [
    {
      "type": "minecraft:directory",
      "prefix": "item/",
      "source": "item"
    },
    {
      "type": "minecraft:paletted_permutations",
      "palette_key": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/trim_palette",
      "permutations": {
        "amethyst": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/amethyst",
        "copper": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/copper",
        "copper_darker": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/copper_darker",
        "diamond": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/diamond",
        "diamond_darker": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/diamond_darker",
        "emerald": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/emerald",
        "gold": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/gold",
        "gold_darker": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/gold_darker",
        "iron": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/iron",
        "iron_darker": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/iron_darker",
        "lapis": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/lapis",
        "netherite": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/netherite",
        "netherite_darker": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/netherite_darker",
        "quartz": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/quartz",
        "redstone": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/redstone",
        "resin": "minecraft:trims/color_palettes/resin"
      },
      "textures": [
        "minecraft:trims/items/helmet_trim",
        "minecraft:trims/items/chestplate_trim",
        "minecraft:trims/items/leggings_trim",
        "minecraft:trims/items/boots_trim"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Which means basically that every texture from the assets/minecraft/textures/item/ folder is mapped to an item sprite

Which explains why there's a ton of sprites for the compass (and clock)

[sterile star]

Idk, check using regex and find the first match that matches a tag

The tag pattern is openly accessible

[sour totem]

string.equals(mm.escapeTags(string)) might work

[polar nebula]

I see, thanks!

[sweet hornet]

And it's finally available!
Feel free to try it out if you need them, and tell me if you see something wrong. I guess next time someone will ask for this I'll give some explanation. For now, I've written a small README, which hopefully helps a little bit.
https://github.com/indyteo/MaterialSpritesGenerator
The complete rules (of which I shared an extract back in the days) are there for the curious 🙂

(Note that I don't need/want any recognition if you want to use the pre-generated mappings, they're freely available in the releases)

[vivid junco]

Hi, I've already added Adventure as a dependency. How can I make the plugin's inventory title use a custom font?

[wet kestrel]

What API are you writing for? (paper? fabric?)

[vivid junco]

Paper I would say

Add the dependency to the pom.

[wet kestrel]

No need to add adventure (in fact, best not). Just use Paper API as dependency. There are createInventory methods that take Component titles. For more Paper API help, visit #paper-dev 🙂

[vivid junco]

Okey, thanks!

[subtle condor]

which event is that? Also the PlayerCustomClickEvent?

[rare sage]

it would be that event, yes, though the callback system is preferable

[subtle condor]

well I cant use it because I'm using minimessage through a config

so I have to do <click:custom ....

[rare sage]

sure

then the event is fine to use

[subtle condor]

do you know what the correct syntax is?

like minimessage

[rare sage]

no idea

does it even allow for custom click events? 😄

[subtle condor]

afaik yes

https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure/issues/1313#issuecomment-3375552515

[rare sage]

probably something like <click:custom:'namespace:key'> of i had to guess

[subtle condor]

yea I think so too

lemme test that

[rare sage]

serialization is a whole other thing

but right now it does support deserialization

[subtle condor]

yh

but I linked it cuz of this

[rare sage]

yes, for serialization

not deserialization

and it will be supported for serialization in adventure 5 which is not yet finished

[subtle condor]

hm I see

[cloud vapor]

if you're doing the code why don't you just make a callback click event and add it as a custom tag or something

[subtle condor]

so something like action:...identifier in my message strings and replace that in code with a clickable component?

I need to be able to pass dynamic data to it

for instance:

"You got a friend request by PlayerX [Accept] [Deny]" here I somehow need to be able to get the action (Accept) and the player PlayerX as well as the executor

[wet kestrel]

I'd just style that like <accept>[Accept]</accept> <deny>[Deny]</deny> and then have fun tagresolvers for that.

[subtle condor]

okay but how does the tag resolver know which player to accept or for instance which server to join / clan to join

also its not like im using accept or deny for one thing only
it should be used for multiple systems

[wet kestrel]

I'd be making a resolver that can be aware of the players involved and have the callback already know it

[subtle condor]

hm

and what about executing commands?

is it possible to disable that popup

and also replace placeholders inside of <click:run_command:'/friend accept <player>'>

because I already have commands for all actions

[wet kestrel]

I mean, basically yeah you'd make <accept> a tag resolver that adds a ClickEvent to that text that runs that command with the player name on it.

And the command popup doesn't happen if the commands are properly registered and sent to the client, iirc?

[cloud vapor]

Yep

[subtle condor]

alr yea it actually works without a popup

then I only have one issue left

When I hardcode the clan command argument it worked without a warning popup

but here

You have been invited to the clan <primary><clan></primary> by <primary><inviter></primary>!\n<click:run_command:'/clan join <clan>'><green>[Accept]</green></click>

at tag resolvers Placeholder.unparsed("clan", clan.name())

the issue is here that in the message <clan> gets replaced with the actual clan name "test"

but inside of the click: tag it doesnt

which makes sense cuz its a tag inside of a tag? --------> <click:run_command:'/clan join <clan>'>

is there an easy way to fix that?

[cloud vapor]

So you'd want to use a pre process parsed placeholder

[subtle condor]

yea that works

tysm

[subtle condor]

used TagResolver.resolver("clan", Tag.preProcessParsed(clan.name())) instead now

[boreal orchid]

why not just use Placeholder.parsed("clan", clan.name())

funny, what you did is exactly like its impl:

[wet kestrel]

I wouldn't do either, because that's easy for a user to mess up compared to making a tagresolver that auto makes the clickable command, like <join><green>[Accept]</green></join> which is also more readable. Obviously workshop other names like <joinclick> <joincommand> etc.

[primal apex]

I created a dynamic TagResolver using the method below and am using the #deserialize method with the created TagResolver, but it is not being parsed in the game

Someone has a idea why?

[sand drift]

unparsed is for a literal string, you probably meant to use parsed

[sterile star]

Tbh I don't think they did

This feel like some nested resolver stuff

[primal apex]

Whoops my bad.
Yeah changing it to parsed fixed it xd

thanks lol

[sterile star]

Well nvm I did not say anything

[gritty belfry]

Hello, I'm using net.kyori:adventure-api:4.26.1 and there does not appear to be PlainTextComponentSerializer (at least that's how I vividly remember it's called.) I'm outside of any mod/plugin ecosystem (it's a library for a plugin)

Is there a way to convert Adventure's component into a plain string?

[wet kestrel]

adventure-text-serializer-plain separate artifact

[gritty belfry]

also in maven central?

[wet kestrel]

That's where I got the ID to copy/paste, so yes I think so 🙂

[gritty belfry]

thanks

[robust wharf]

the javadocs for 4.26.0/1 are now on the jd site, sorry for the delay

[tulip wedge]

https://jd.advntr.dev/api/4.25.0/net/kyori/adventure/audience/Audience.html#sendActionBar(net.kyori.adventure.text.Component)
does this trigger System Chat Message packet or Set Action Bar Text packet?

[robust wharf]

that would depend on the platform I would say

[tulip wedge]

im on paper, testing right now

[robust wharf]

why do you care, its an implementation detail

but on paper it would be a set action bar text packet

[tulip wedge]

doing some client-side stuff

thats why

[fathom mulch]

im looking to make a mutable component, how would i do that?

[wet kestrel]

For what reason?

[fathom mulch]

adding components to my skript addon, by skript standards you should be able to modify an object so immutability is not amazing in my case

someone else already did it but they wrapped the component in another class, looking to avoid that

was thinking of using the componentbuilder interface

would that be appropriate?

[wet kestrel]

Builder potentially solves your problem. But this feels like a design flaw to expect everything is mutable.

[boreal orchid]

doesn't Skript support components natively with some syntax of their own

it is similar to minimessage but predates it

unless you mean to add getters/property expressions for a given component string, which I guess could be useful

[fathom mulch]

thats the old/current system, adventure implementation is planned for april, im just doing something similar to allow the people using my addon to use the same extensive features while skript doesnt have them

[fathom mulch]

well, its not really like that, i said by skript standards but i really just said that on the spot, it would just be much better if it was mutable in this context

i'll go with builder, thanks!

[boreal orchid]

I would just make a component serializer for their format and add some kind of expression like f%string% if that's allowed

[polar nebula]

I am a bit confused, how would I create a tag <example> that has access to everything after it?

for instance for text replacement.

[wet kestrel]

Modifying

[polar nebula]

Oh I see, rip no example, time to play around a bit

thanks

[polar nebula]

https://pastes.dev/fgfUzUwdig I am a bit confused, any ideas why this is sending like "duplicated" stuff?

[cloud vapor]

can you show your code?

[polar nebula]

it's linked

[cloud vapor]

you want to clear the children of the returned component

[polar nebula]

oh I see

thanks!

[tulip wedge]

how do we open urls with mini message?

<click:open_url:'url'></click>test

isnt it this?

[wet kestrel]

https://docs.papermc.io/adventure/minimessage/format/#click

You closed the click before th text

[tulip wedge]

ohhhh

thx

ngl i was looking to the doc but

i was searching for "url" in the page

im dumb sorry

[tardy sequoia]

Trying to use base64 textures for heads because using the <head:base64> does not work

Not quite sure where to start

[sterile star]

The head tag does not yet support base64 textures

[tardy sequoia]

I see! Interesting

I was going to use it for chat emojis instead of using the good old fashioned map with unicode characters xD

[tardy sequoia]

Any idea when or if?

[sterile star]

It will support it as soon as I finally sit down and get named arguments to work, the plan has been to put base64 and other stuff as named arguments

[tardy sequoia]

Got it. tysm. Thank you for all the hard work too

[sterile star]

[tardy sequoia]

Wondering as well if there's a way to retrieve a tag as a Component specifically? Or should I parse it through MM first and just return that

[wet kestrel]

In the short term is is possible to just make your own tag resolver for it though? 🤔

[tardy sequoia]

Well that's what I was wondering

[sterile star]

There is Component.object

You can construct the object components (like head components) through there

[tardy sequoia]

ohh?

[tardy sequoia]

Where can I find the docs for this

[sterile star]

Nowhere yet really. But you can see an example in the head resolver source code, like for example SequentialHeadTag.java, I've linked some lines where the component is constructed

[tardy sequoia]

Wow that's a lot

[sterile star]

The JavaDocs are a great place to look too: ObjectComponent

[boreal orchid]

didn't I give you a tag resolver for this a few days ago

[tardy sequoia]

tbh I have no idea how to use it. I'm gonna save it and experiment w normal tags first

[boreal orchid]

you just pass it to the serialize method like so: MiniMessage.miniMessage().serialize("<green>Idk <head_texture:some actual base 64 here>", headTextureTag)

you can also build a custom MiniMessage instance that has it built in I guess

[dull python]

How do I display an item in hover event?

From ItemStack

[wet kestrel]

What platform's item stack?

(i.e. what API are you using)

[dull python]

Paper

[wet kestrel]

In that case it's already a hover event source.

[dull python]

demn

[wet kestrel]

call itemStack.asHoverEvent() 😉

[dull python]

I better read the docs properly

[rare sage]

better yet, you don't even need to call asHoverEvent! you can just do component.hoverEvent(itemStack) :)

[dull python]

Thanks

[dull python]

You aswell

[mystic star]

Hii, why head is not displaying on chat?

coupon-send-code-player:
  chat:
    - '{header}'
    - <white>
    - <green> <b>[+]</b> Grabbed <yellow>{code}</yellow> <aqua>{template}</aqua> Coupon.
    - <green> <b>[!]</b> Gifting is enabled!
    - <green> <b>[!]</b> Sent coupon to <b><aqua>{player}</aqua>
    - <head:{uuid}>
    - <white>
    - '{footer}'
  sound: coupon.sent-code

where {uuid} replace with player uuid
or i am misunderstood something..

here the code i used

override fun sendMessage(sender: CommandSender, path: String, placeHolder: Map<String, String>) {

        val audience = when (sender) {
            is Player -> JService.adventure.player(sender)
            is ConsoleCommandSender -> JService.adventure.console()
            else -> return
        }

        // Get message
        var message = getMessages("$path.chat").apply(placeHolder).joinToString("\n")
        if (message.isEmpty()) message = getMessage("$path.chat").apply(placeHolder)

        if (message.isEmpty()) message = getMessage(path).apply(placeHolder)
        if (message.isEmpty()) message = getTemplateMessage(path).apply(placeHolder)
        if (message.isEmpty()) return
        // Split into lines
        val chatMessage = message.split("\n").map { it.trim() }.filter { it.isNotEmpty() }

        // Actionbar
        val actionBarMessage = getMessage("$path.actionbar").apply(placeHolder).trimStart()
        if (actionBarMessage.isNotEmpty()) {
            audience.sendActionBar(JService.applyMiniColor(actionBarMessage))
        }

        val title = getTitle("$path.title.main", placeHolder)
        if (sender is Player && title.title.isNotBlank()) {
            audience.showTitle(
                Title.title(
                    JService.applyMiniColor(title.title), JService.applyMiniColor(title.subTitle), Title.Times.times(
                        Duration.ofMillis(title.fadeIn), Duration.ofMillis(title.stay), Duration.ofMillis(title.fadeOut)
                    )
                )
            )
        }

        if (sender is Player) {
            val soundSting = getMessages("$path.sound").apply(placeHolder).ifEmpty { JService.configManager.messages.getString("$path.sound")?.apply(placeHolder) }
            val sound = GuiSound.loadSound(soundSting)
            sound.playSound(sender)
        }

        chatMessage.forEach {
            audience.sendMessage(JService.applyMiniColor(it))
        }
    }

is it because of use of audience?

[cloud vapor]

Your issue might be how you use placeholders, it's hard to say without seeing more code. MiniMessage has a custom tag system that you should use instead - see the docs for more info

[mystic star]

I just simply replace the text on it

private fun String.apply(placeHolder: Map<String, String>): String {
        var message = this
        placeHolder.forEach { (key, value) ->
            message = message.replace(key, value)
        }
        message = message.replace("{prefix}", prefix)
        message = message.replace("{header}", header)
        message = message.replace("{footer}", footer)
        return message
    }

after all placeholder applied it send the text
I verified that there is no mistake in {uuid}

placeHolder.code = redeemCode.code
placeHolder.uuid = uuid.toString()

[cloud vapor]

the fact the whole line isn't being sent is definitely an indication the problem is on your end rather than adventure/minimessage

but just to double check, vanilla client? correct client+server version for the head object components? updated server version?

[mystic star]

1.21.10

[cloud vapor]

looks like you're using adventure platform of some sort, spigot i guess?

[mystic star]

papermc - server for testing

[cloud vapor]

you don't need to use adventure-platform if you're using paper, it's possible that could cause issues

[cloud vapor]

but again, there's more questions here :p

also, what does debugging tell you? when you stepped through the code where exactly was the issue?

[mystic star]

it is becuase i do give support for spigot as well

[mystic star]

same though
when i simple use head tag after "Sent coupon to"
the whole line just got ignore like ""

[cloud vapor]

okay so what was the component that you sent to the player? did you print that?

You're definitely using an up-to-date vanilla client too?

[mystic star]

Yea using 1.21.10

[mystic star]

Let me check

This one?

ObjectComponentImpl{contents=PlayerHeadObjectContentsImpl{name="47dd2cf1-0521-3481-bd5b-18feed752b3c", id=null, profileProperties=[], hat=true, texture=null}, style=StyleImpl{obfuscated=not_set, bold=not_set, strikethrough=not_set, underlined=not_set, italic=not_set, color=null, shadowColor=null, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null, insertion=null, font=null}, children=[]}

[cloud vapor]

that looks fine to me then, definitely either an issue in adventure-platform or you're using some modded/custom client that's breaking things

[mystic star]

Oh i think it because the client was cracked

now it make sense

[cloud vapor]

wouldn't be surprised if adventure-platform was broken on .10

okay great

so when i said vanilla right at the start, that's what i meant :p

[mystic star]

sorry for misunderstanding

[cloud vapor]

nw, glad you got it sorted

[mystic star]

is it possible to support head texture for cracked player via skin restorer?

[mystic star]

alright got it
then what about custom texture support?

nvm i got anwser from old post

[past spire]

how can i support both legacy color codes and minimessage tags

i've tried few things but it didn't work

[robust wharf]

our recommended way is doing a one time migration

its called legacy for a reason

[sand drift]

resource pack texture

i have no idea what that value is even supposed to be

[civic pine]

oh so I can't just use normal head or base64 there yet. OK thanks

[sand drift]

it supports a player UUID, if that's what you mean

providing profile info manually is pending on named arguments being supported, (but, that b64 doesn't seem to be anything valid anyways)

[boreal orchid]

you can just create a custom tag

[boreal orchid]

here's one that does just that

[sweet hornet]

(The hash in the Minecraft texture URL: https://textures.minecraft.net/texture/6ee554abe14fda92ef5ec921222fe60c268a8abdf4120d4f283e803de8d3fe0b)

Is it part of the specs that token emitter ends some tag with a forward /?

I mean, is it valid syntax to have like <my_custom_tag:with_arg/>?

(It works, but I've never seen that syntax)

[sweet hornet]

And regarding your case, you might be interested in this custom head tag I've made (but I haven't tested it yet in real world, it's only a prototype as far as now). Main motivation was to have serialization ability.
Example:

private static final MiniMessage mm = MiniMessage.builder()
    .editTags(tags -> tags.resolver(CustomHeadTag.RESOLVER))
    .build();
// Inside my dummy /mm command executor:
Component component = mm.deserialize(String.join(" ", args));
sender.sendMessage(component);
sender.sendMessage(mm.serialize(component));

Obviously the code is not fool-proof, as there's no validation on the argument, but feel free to improve it.
Showcase:

[mental vine]

CustomHeadTag.java by @sweet hornet: https://pastes.dev/9PObbpr7u8

[boreal orchid]

I never understood what the whole serializable resolver and component claiming stuff is for

I know the built-in tags all implement it, but I don't think I've encoutered cases where I needed to implement that functionality on my custom tags

[civic pine]

Can this be PR to the official minimessage please?

[boreal orchid]

the base64 texture stuff is waiting for named arguments

I think the named argument version of the head tag implements the functionality already, it is just not merged yet

[civic pine]

Oh great, but these textures (not base64) would be useful too probably to be pr there

[sweet hornet]

I'm using custom head textures in some item's name/lore, for example to show zombie head on an undead-related weapon, etc.
Custom head textures uses the profile property textures, which is a base64-encoded value containing (along with some other not-so-useful-in-this-context values) the URL to the PNG texture file on Mojang's servers (which is uniquely designated by a probably random (or maybe md5 or something related) hash). They have no UUID nor player name, only the textures property making them static profiles (as opposed to dynamic profiles).

On the other hand, I have an in-game item editor tool for my staff members to create/modify items (namely, their name/lore). This tool relies on Minecraft dialogs, and components are encoded using MiniMessage so it's more user-friendly for them (than JSON or SNBT, for example).

But with the actual builtin head component from MM, such custom head are lost and turned into Steve/Alex heads if the item is edited, because it gets turned into <head> with no argument, and the profile property is lost.

So, TL; DR, yeah I needed to code a serializable tag handling custom heads based on profile property textures

[sweet hornet]

The named argument version (can't find it anymore, PR closed?) is likely to handle "all" (despite having only one really useful currently) profile properties, and uses their raw value, which is the base64-encoded JSON string containing the URL

And you must admit it's a bit less cluttered to have :

<custom_head:6ee554abe14fda92ef5ec921222fe60c268a8abdf4120d4f283e803de8d3fe0b>

Than (at least, it can be bigger despite other values not being useful):

<custom_head:eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6eyJTS0lOIjp7InVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly90ZXh0dXJlcy5taW5lY3JhZnQubmV0L3RleHR1cmUvNmVlNTU0YWJlMTRmZGE5MmVmNWVjOTIxMjIyZmU2MGMyNjhhOGFiZGY0MTIwZDRmMjgzZTgwM2RlOGQzZmUwYiJ9fX0=>

[sweet hornet]

So "yes", but it's likely to not be merged unfortunately due to the other plans in mind currently, with the named arguments. But again, feel free to just include my tag in your project and register it in your MM instance once for all

[civic pine]

the issue is I wanted to use it with TAB plugin 😅 so not sure if I'm able to make this work well

[sweet hornet]

Ah, idk about that plugin, maybe they have an API where you can edit the MM instance they use? Otherwise that's a whole another issue, about registering tags into a "global" MM instance 😅

[hazy thicket]

Is there a way to create a text Component with gradient w/o using MiniMessage from-string-deserializer?

Something like this

[sand drift]

Well, no, that’s a serialisrr specific feature, Minecraft doesn’t support gradients

You would need to modify the component yourself to implement such a feature outside of MM

[boreal orchid]

there is a PR but it kinda got nowhere:
https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure/pull/1063

[cloud topaz]

Can I use sprites with adventureapi? Don't want to use minimessage since components take less lines in the code

[sterile rampart]

yes

If you're hardcoding components, you shouldn't be using mm anyways

look at Component.object(...)

[cloud topaz]

The whole adventure vs minimessage thing is confusing to me

I get why minimessage is useful for the end user, but in the code base I would rather stick to adventureapi

[sterile rampart]

that's the general idea - mm is a frontend for user input and config files and licalization, but if you don't need those its easier to use components directly

It's all adventure components internally though

[cloud topaz]

So in theory you can have icons in rank prefixes now?

[steel loom]

Is it possible to change the tooltip style for hover message component in MM?

[sterile rampart]

@rare sage smh i can spell good

[sterile rampart]

mm is just a format for what Minecraft offers, can vanilla chat components do that?

[steel loom]

No clue, I’ll go research

[sage river]

it's only possible to change tooltip style for itemstacks iirc

but you can display an itemstack as a hover event?

[steel loom]

So if I make an itemstack, I should be able to display it through a hover event?

With the tooltip style

[sage river]

I think so, but you need a resourcepack

[steel loom]

I have my custom tooltips ready, but thanks I’ll try to make it with an itemstack

[marsh oar]

I have a data object with certain meta data and I wonder how I can write a custom component that does certain things before the string is rendered.
I just want to preprocess certain MetaData before I dump it into placeholders for MiniMessage.

[cloud vapor]

im confused, you're writing a component but you want to make a placeholder for minimessage?

can you explain a bit more about what you actually are trying to achieve

[marsh oar]

I just want to throw in an specific object with the content and at the end I have a component that I can simply send

On the end I want something like this: context.sender().sendMessage(CustomComponent.of(template)); sender().sendMessage is a method in velocity for example

[cloud vapor]

so, just a util method? yeah ofc you can just do that

[hexed crow]

is there any difference between component.append(component2).append(component3)... with textOfChildren(component1, component2, component3...)? In my plugin the former one sometimes consumes all subsequent components.

[sour totem]

in the first case component would be the parent which 2 and 3 will inherit styling from, textOfChildren would be equivalent to doing Component.empty().append(component).append(component2)... and would result in no style being inherited since the parent is empty

[hexed crow]

so why would it happen that the subsequent components just disappeared

[sour totem]

components are immutable, append returns you a brand new component

[boreal orchid]

the first one creates this tree

the second one creates this one

[hexed crow]

yeah my code is like return component.append(component2).append(component3)...; but still

[sweet hornet]

Actually, not really. C is a child of A, not B

What you described is component.append(component2.append(component3));

[sweet hornet]

You need to give a little bit more code if you want us to be able to help you

[hexed crow]

thx. but I think I figured it out

[sweet hornet]

Nice

[polar nebula]

Hey, so currently I have a way of adding custom placeholders via a config in my Plugin, but for some reason, if I create a placeholder called <secondary_color> that returns <red> and then use that placeholder in a text like <secondary_color>Hello, for some reason, Hello does not show up as red, as if the color gets reset after that. If I make the placeholder return <red>A, only the A will be red, then rest is reset? Any chances somebody could look into how I am doing things:

• Processing/parsing placeholders: https://github.com/xMrAfonso/Runway/blob/v2/src/main/kotlin/me/mrafonso/runway/processing/ProcessHandler.kt
• Custom Placeholder handling/creation: https://github.com/xMrAfonso/Runway/tree/v2/src/main/kotlin/me/mrafonso/runway/resolver

[boreal orchid]

I haven't read the code but that just feels like you're making a self-closing inserting tag for everything

if you want a tag that only does styling, you'd use a styling tag, if you want a tag that inserts text and its style can be passed down, you'd use an inserting tag

[wet kestrel]

If making custom color placeholders, I'd vote styling placeholder.

[boreal orchid]

yeah this feels like it is the case: https://github.com/xMrAfonso/Runway/blob/v2/src/main/kotlin/me/mrafonso/runway/resolver/TagResolverBuilder.kt#L66-L76

[frozen tree]

Hello, why do I get this error on 1.19.2 paper with adventure platform bukkit 4.4.1: https://pastebin.com/EHTdeVWB

AdventureMeta.java:257: this.logger.sendMessage(Component.text(msg));

[sage river]

you need to relocate adventure in your plugin

[frozen tree]

What for? Currently the lib gets downloaded by the server

[sterile rampart]

conflicts with adventure that is bundled with the server

adventure-playform-bukkit is completely unnecessary when working with paper servers anyways

[frozen tree]

Is there any other way by not having to realocate the lib in my plugin? I can't deal with the size since we also need the Gson lib which together puts the plugins over 4.5mb

[sterile rampart]

target paper

then adventure is included

[frozen tree]

Trying to target paper, but older then 1.19.4

[sterile rampart]

#adventure-platform-mod-help for any other questions with the legacy platform impls

[sterile rampart]

paper has had adventure since 1.16.4

and anyways

[polar nebula]

Do those support gradients?

[polar nebula]

I am indeed using that

[sweet hornet]

Unfortunately no, since gradients are just "syntactic sugar" over manually putting a color to each character

[patent fable]

How do I make heads or any sprite using adventure

I see minimessage supporting it

cool

[forest parrot]

Is it possible to add something like https://jd.papermc.io/paper/1.21.11/io/papermc/paper/command/brigadier/MessageComponentSerializer.html to Velocity by copying the source code from the serializer and registering it? I do not know how to do the registering part and wasn't able to find any documentation about it.

[fiery oracle]

https://jd.papermc.io/velocity/3.4.0/com/velocitypowered/api/command/VelocityBrigadierMessage.html#tooltip(net.kyori.adventure.text.Component)

[wanton marten]

Does minimessage have support for the Player Object component?

[runic onyx]

https://docs.papermc.io/adventure/minimessage/format/#head

[wanton marten]

I think my need is different to head unless I'm mistaken

I'm basically looking for the minimessage equivalent of {"type":"object","object":"player",player:{name:"playername"},hat:true,color:"#010000",shadow_color:0}

[runic onyx]

should be the right thing, try and see

[wanton marten]

head gives me the flat head of my player, my thing returns (I think) a full skin

[sour totem]

the head tag is the minimessage equivalent of the string you sent

[wanton marten]

Just did some testing and it's the colour giving me the skin image. It's some shader stuff with my resource pack (which I have no clue how it works 😅 ) I'm guessing I just use the minimessage head thing with the right colour hopefully, thank you

[desert wing]

is there any documentation on how to format minimessage and use the new custom click actions? I tried looking on the docs, and couldnt find much about it, (also searching is a pain since it merges with all of other paper's docs and theres no distinction as to wat product the search results are from)

im guessing its something like this <click:custom:'namespace:key'> but how would i add a payload to this?

[boreal orchid]

best is to just check the source: https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure/blob/main/5/text-minimessage/src/main/java/net/kyori/adventure/text/minimessage/tag/standard/ClickTag.java#L87-L104

in this case it seems to have a key argument and a snbt one for the payload

so like <click:custom:'idk:whatever':'{"idk":"my payload"}'>

[sterile rampart]

remember that that's the 5.x codebase, I think some of the click event types are less fully supported in MM in the released version

[boreal orchid]

ah, you're right. In the main/4 branch, custom isn't supported since its payload type is custom and the method that MM uses only supports Payload.Text/TextCarrier type actions

well, it isn't supported by the built-in tag but you could still make a custom one for it

it special-cased changePage action whose payload type is int, I wonder why that wasn't the case for custom. I guess it just didn't make sense given that code was gonna be reworked anyway

[sterile rampart]

custom click events are just newer so it didn't make it in time for the initial release

[desert wing]

makes sense

[boreal orchid]

here's a tag resolver for a custom click tag if you want: https://pastes.dev/YBBsfDdHmg

[sterile rampart]

don't recommend using internal api

it'll break at some point

[boreal orchid]

I mean, that tag is only useful for 4.x, in 5.x you'd just use the click tag

but yeah, should be fine without the serializable resolver stuff

[frozen tree]

Is it possible to disable the closing tags(</color>) on LegacyComponentSerializer when de-serializing from a String? Without manually replacing them?

[sterile rampart]

what

[frozen tree]

I know its possible in the MM builder, like miniBuilder.strict(false);

[sterile rampart]

what are you talking about in actual component structure

[frozen tree]

How to disable strict serializing with the LegacyComponentSerializer.Builder?

[sterile rampart]

there's no such concept with legacy

[frozen tree]

Oh, well, then how to disable it when Serializing a Component back to a string?

[boreal orchid]

you can't disable it, it is just how legacy generates components

[frozen tree]

Like I use miniMessage.serialize(legacySerializer.deserialize(String) to translate legacy colors into MM format, but how to prevent the serializer from adding the closing tags

[boreal orchid]

you can't stop it from generating closing tags, since otherwise it'd be a different kind of tree

[sweet hornet]

Didn't you answered yourself here?

[boreal orchid]

&anode A &bnode B &rnode C legacy has no way to indicate that a node is a child of another one, unless you explicitly made a serializer which treated every node as a child of the other, but that wouldn't be how people expect legacy to be parsed

if you don't want the closing tags, you can just remove them after serializing, or make an encoder which acts in the way you want. Former is probably easier

is there a reason you don't like the closing tags though?

[frozen tree]

Yeah, well, I figured better ask if there was a built in way instead of manually replacing them out of the stringgs

[sand drift]

non-strict will only emit tags when it needs to for the sake of maintaining the component structure

(or at least, I think that was the default behavior there)

[boreal orchid]

it is, yeah

[frozen tree]

They break when a message is like &aGreen\n&cRed, where my code currently formats the colors before splitting the string into multiple lines, causing the <green> tag to appear in the first like, and </green> on the second

[boreal orchid]

if this is for lore, recommendation is to not use new lines at all

if it comes from a config file, just use a string list instead

[frozen tree]

Well, Im not recoding thhat part. Manually replacing the closing tas it is! XD

[sand drift]

newlines inside of components is generally asking for issues

[boreal orchid]

it is fine on chat, just not anywhere else

[sand drift]

I semi recall the behavior there being somewhat inconsistent

[frozen tree]

Yeah, I was already wondering why the serializer escapes the \n

[sterile rampart]

yeah text manipulation of the mm output will cause trouble

[boreal orchid]

it should be a trivial change, I would strongly recommend just doing it the right way

I also don't understand why you are going legacy -> MM -> Component

[sweet hornet]

I think I understood your XY. And if you have a legacy component like §cThis is\na multi-line\ntext!, it's not a question of closing tag being there or not, it'll be a question of the color only applied to the 1st line

[frozen tree]

Im known to do things more difficult as it should. So we should be fine

[sterile rampart]

its been 5 years of people being too lazy to implement proper componenr splitting

[boreal orchid]

the PR is there, it just seems that it died to relevance

[frozen tree]

Since a string is easier to manupilate then a Component, especially replacing placeholders in it

[boreal orchid]

could just work with the legacy string if you're doing that

or just drop legacy and use MM x)

[sweet hornet]

I'll publish my PR as soon as 5.x is out (and also I have some time)
-# https://github.com/indyteo/adventure/tree/component-split

[boreal orchid]

wouldn't it be better to get it shipped before 5.x is released

[frozen tree]

Then what, it needs to be parsed to MM either way, so if its before or while sending the message, it doesn't matter right?

[boreal orchid]

why does it need to be parsed to MM at all

[frozen tree]

MiniMessage doesn't like legacy colors I noticed

[sand drift]

I mean, mojang deprecated legacy colors a decade ago

[sweet hornet]

Well, idk my idea was to wait until they have more time to review PRs, and also 5.x being stable so I don't have to change my code. If every "big" change of 5.x is done, I might do it

[sand drift]

and legacy colors inside of components is stupidly inconsistent

[frozen tree]

Sure thing, I was just bringing the facts

[frozen tree]

Yeah, so they need to be parsed to MM to make MM even consider them, am I right?

[sterile rampart]

its nothing to do with mm, it's just vanilla

[frozen tree]

Right...

[sand drift]

MM treats them as invalid input, and there is no direct means of transforming legacy to MM due to the nature of the tree

many optuse attempts have been made and I guess they work for simple strings, but, we don't recommend or support such manipulation of legacy strings

Really, mojang deprecated them a decade ago and we recommend that plugin devs follow the rest of the ecosystem and move on too

[frozen tree]

I like backcompatibility or give users atleast the option to use it

Even if it makes my life a little harder

Well, I better get back to fixing this...

[near valley]

Are there any news regarding dialog support?

[sterile rampart]

development happens on GH, anything that happens happens there

I think paper has its own dialog api for now

[tulip wedge]

        TextComponent settingsComponent = Component.text().build();
        for (FarmerSetting setting : farmer.getFarmerSettings()) {
            settingsComponent = settingsComponent.append(Component.text(setting.name()).clickEvent(ClickEvent.callback(e -> farmer.toggleSetting(setting))));
        }
        TagResolver settings = Placeholder.component("settings", settingsComponent);

How could I make the output like String.join(", ", list)

so it would be like Setting1, Setting2, Setting3

[tulip wedge]

also this looks kinda ugly, there is probably a better way but im not aware of that

[cloud vapor]

see Component.join

so smth like Component.join(JoinConfiguration.commas(true), components)

[tulip wedge]

yeah just saw that

thx

[cloud vapor]

If you want the end user to be able to define the format for joining, check the Formatter.joining minimessage tag resolver

[tulip wedge]

not really

[near valley]

I know but I wanna use dialogs in Velocity

[cloud vapor]

Our current plans are focusing on the 5.x update and then we will start exploring things like dialog/waypoints api, especially now that they seem relatively stable

[cloud vapor]

What does that have to do with Adventure?

looks like you're just not shading protocolib - see #build-tooling-help

[north inlet]

ok sr

i will delete it

[buoyant arch]

Helloo, what's the best way to join components?

Is there a way through the TextComponent.Builder?

Normally I use Component.join()

But I have to make a Collection to use that

Is there a way in the builder to append new lines for example in between components?

[rare sage]

what's wrong with Component.join? it also takes varargs

[buoyant arch]

There is nothing wrong besides using a Collection instead of a builder

Just wondering if there was a better way

It does the job, I was just wondering hehe

[rare sage]

you can use the method that doesn't take a collection 🤔

what are you looking for and how does the static join method not satisfy you?

[buoyant arch]

I was looking for a JoinConfiguration or something similar on the component builder

Just out of comfort really

Because I normally use the Builder and I used to do .append("hello").appendNewLine().append("something").build()

It's fine tho, using Component.join is the best way I see

And doing gradients inside of a Component is possible?

I know with MiniMessage it is possible with <gradient>, but inside components?

[rare sage]

there is no api for it, no, there was a pr but it was left unfinished iirc, though mostly done, you could just take a look at it and take whatever useful snippets you might find

https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure/pull/1063

kind of a scope creep pr imo instead of getting a basic api working first but w/e

[buoyant arch]

🤣 thanks Emily!

[jaunty cradle]

why minimessage gradent with 3 color and 1 to -1 phase it don't make smoth animation (issu on ~4sec, ~8sec, ~12sec),
while 2 color work fine ? (big white number is the phase)

(this is what i mean by 2 color work)

[sterile rampart]

which version

[jaunty cradle]

1st is 3 color <- my issu
2nd is 2 color

[sweet hornet]

Version of adventure

[jaunty cradle]

4.25.0

[sweet hornet]

Have you tried on latest (4.26.1)?

[jaunty cradle]

how could i ? paper is bundled with 4.25.0

[ocean agate]

component = component.replaceText(builder -> builder.match(matcher).replacement(
                            parse(player, keyword, decoration + prefix).append(parse(player, keyword, keyword.replacement())
                                    .hoverEvent(HoverEvent.showText(parse(player, keyword, String.join("<newline>", keyword.descriptions()))))
                            ).append(parse(player, keyword, suffix))
                    )
            );

I'm now using this to replace the text matches regex, but how do I know the input text?

[ocean agate]

nvm figured out

[polar nebula]

Is it possible to cache the tree/structure of a component?

Usage being that I only have some specific placeholders that I want to be reparsed, so MM doesn't have to parse the rest.

[sterile star]

Currently not, but that's something that had been discussed as a possible feature in the future

That reminds me, I should finally finish my adventure PRs

[polar nebula]

Add this to your PR list, I need it xD

[boreal orchid]

do you

people have brought up wanting it however it hasn't been done simply because MM parsing is fast enough to just not bother

[sterile star]

However on the technical side of things it's very well possible to do, so it's quite a valid thing to expose

The MM parser already parses it into a tree, the placeholders get handled only after the MM parsing step

[boreal orchid]

valid I don't know, I have seen Kezz being rather opposed to the idea before

though if it comes down to just exposing a method to turn a Node.Root (or whatever it is that deserializeToTree returned) into a Component, then that's probably fine

[sterile star]

It's technically pointless as it's fast anyways, but it's not a particularly intrusive change

[polar nebula]

Yeah

I mean it for sure is fast

[sterile star]

Kezz indeed doesn't see a need, but isn't opposed to it being added

I've talked about it a while back

[polar nebula]

Never said it wasn't, but squeezing some extra performance by caching doesn't sound bad either lol

[sterile star]

Yeah my opinion too

[weak arrow]

how can i append a child to a component, but make the result not inherit the styles from the parent?

these guys are making everyone bold

[sweet hornet]

Children inherit style, you can't change that. But if you have, say, compA and compB, instead of compA.append(compB), you can write Component.empty().append(compA).append(compB)

(There are slightly more optimized ways to create an empty component from a set of children, but this is for you to get the idea)

Component.textOfChildren(...) is one optimized way to do so

[weak arrow]

thank you

exactly what i needed

[polar nebula]

Uhm what would be the best way to make an inserting tag that the content inside would not be parsed by custom tag resolvers, only default MM? For context, I am parsing a string with MM and custom tag resolvers, but I want to make a "blocker" tag, which an user can then use so that inside that tag, the content will not be parsed with the custom tagresolvers. It's mainly to avoid people using tags they aren't supposed to.

[last horizon]

Not entirely sure if I understand you correctly but I think what you are looking for is Placeholder#unparsed

[boreal orchid]

that sounds like a weird requirement

usually when it comes down to not letting users use tags they're not meant to, you just build a MiniMessage instance with the tags they can use

interestingly, the Context#deserialize methods which take a TagResolver seems to combine the Context's TagResolver with the one you pass, so you can't really use that

you'd have to make a MiniMessage instance that you use separatedly and deserialize the MM with that

[cloud vapor]

Yeah this ^

[polar nebula]

So whatever is inside the tag, I'd use a different MM instance?

[polar nebula]

well, since I am using this in packets, changing placeholders in items for example, there is no way to know if the item name was edited by a player or by a plugin, so I am trying to prevent abuse, like players adding the placeholders themselves when they are not allowed.

[cloud vapor]

yeah see this is why it's best to do stuff not at a packet level haha

if you just have an arbitrary string then it's not at all possible to differentiate between user and plugin generated text

[polar nebula]

well the whole concept of the plugin cannot be done without packets xD

[polar nebula]

exactly why I want to create a tag where server owners can block any parsing of such

[cloud vapor]

yeah we had that in mm years ago but it just doesn't work

bc what's stopping the player from just closing the tag

[polar nebula]

Well, in that case, what are the options? a self closing tag which takes text as param which would be the "restricted" part?

[cloud vapor]

the user can just close that too

e.g. <pre:"hello this is">look ive escaped!!!

[polar nebula]

<pre:"hello this is">look ive escaped!!!">

would error out no?

[cloud vapor]

what if they just <pre:" at the end

the only option is a single tag that prevents parsing for the entire rest of the string without being closed really

it's why we removed this kind of tag from mm years ago, it just doesn't work

[polar nebula]

FYI context would be that in a chat plugin for ex. it would be pre:"%msg%" or whatever

[polar nebula]

well that also works tbf

how would that be implemented though?

inserting and self closing tags wouldn't work

[cloud vapor]

modifying probably

you might find it easier to fork mm and add a custom parser directive tag ig

[polar nebula]

eh forking was not really in my plans tbf

that would mean maintaining it too

[cloud vapor]

yepp

[sterile star]

🍴

[polar nebula]

by this you meant a modifying tag or modifying MM?

[cloud vapor]

modifying tag yea

[polar nebula]

Wait couldn't I simply use escapeTags on the input? Or would that also escape the "default" MM tags?

[cloud vapor]

escape tags will escape any tags known to that minimessage instance

[polar nebula]

I see, one of the kinda solutions I found was to simply get the string, split it at <restricted> and simply use a diff. instance for the second half

[boreal orchid]

that should work fine

[slate current]

Running into this again now, is there any existing way to do this? Would a PR be accepted (and if so, should it be the default or an additional option)?

Because currently, saving a list and then loading it can give a different list (it wraps it on saving and doesn't unwrap on loading)

And e.g. Mojang's implementation seems to unwrap on loading by default

[buoyant arch]

Does anyone know when strikethrough works with spaces and when it doesn't

I have it sometimes working and others not

FRChat.getServerColorGradient(" ").decorate(TextDecoration.STRIKETHROUGH) shouldn't this work as a long dash line?

[sweet hornet]

It might get trimmed, i.e. all heading and trailing white-spaces being removed, which is, in your case, your whole string. So you might need to add a non-white-space at the beginning and/or at the end. I think that a simple dash - should go "under" the strike-through, making it unnoticeable

[buoyant arch]

I will try that, I didn't know there was an auto trim there

That was it indeed! Sadly coloring doesn't affect the strike line XD

Do you guys know of any character wide enough to look like a full line?

[sweet hornet]

You mean something like that: ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯? ⎯

[cloud vapor]

it doesn't really matter, just strike through a - or smth

[buoyant arch]

Strikethrought is not colored tho

[buoyant arch]

Yeah like that

But does it look like that on minecraft? XD

I did the mix and it worked, thanks guys 🙂 I did the dashes + strikethrough

[cloud vapor]

yeah it is

it's coloured whatever the text colour is

[charred wagon]

Hey is there a way to convert the Adventure Component to a minecraft Component

[rare sage]

it depends on the platform impl

paper, modded, other adventure-platform artifacts

[charred wagon]

sorry my bad paper

i'm on paper

[rare sage]

iirc there are static methods in the internal PaperAdventure class

[charred wagon]

ahh ok

i will try

thanks

[polar nebula]

what exactly is strict() in MM?

javadocs only say it puts it in strict mode

what does that do

[sour totem]

https://docs.papermc.io/adventure/minimessage/format/#strict-mode

[slate current]

I understand ya'll do this on your free time and all obviously, and I don't want to be annoying and rush you to reply, but I brought this up for the first time months ago, and would appreciate it if anyone from the team could weigh in if you've got time - unless I'm doing something wrong, this seems like a pretty major issue...

Here is example code to replicate this problem: https://pastes.dev/DtYWadXEDv
Which results in this:

[13:54:24 INFO]: [Plugin]
API Data: BinaryTagType[CompoundBinaryTag 10]{tags={"list"=BinaryTagType[ListBinaryTag 9]{tags=[BinaryTagType[IntBinaryTag 3 (numeric)]{value=5}, BinaryTagType[StringBinaryTag 8]{value="hello"}], type=BinaryTagType[BinaryTag 127]}}}
Post Write: BinaryTagType[CompoundBinaryTag 10]{tags={"list"=BinaryTagType[ListBinaryTag 9]{tags=[BinaryTagType[CompoundBinaryTag 10]{tags={""=BinaryTagType[IntBinaryTag 3 (numeric)]{value=5}}}, BinaryTagType[CompoundBinaryTag 10]{tags={""=BinaryTagType[StringBinaryTag 8]{value="hello"}}}], type=BinaryTagType[CompoundBinaryTag 10]}}}
[13:54:24 INFO]: [Plugin]
NMS Data: {list:[5,"hello"]}
Post Write: {list:[5,"hello"]}

I'm happy to work on a fix & PR myself, just want to know what's going on with this first and how you'd want it handled/fixed

[sand drift]

I'm not really sure what the issue is?

[slate current]

NBT Lists with multiple types are wrapped on save ([1, "t"] -> [{"":1}, {"":"t"}]).
For the NMS part, Mojang wraps them on save and then unwraps them when loading, resulting in the same list as expected.
But Adventure NBT only wraps them on save, which means that when reading you basically get a completely different list; ListBinaryTag#unwrapHeterogeneity does exist, but it's not called automatically, and for a deep nested compound with lists inside it it can be very annoying (and sometimes expensive) to handle, as you have to basically recreate the entire thing due to the immutability.

[sand drift]

I believe that part of the general expectation over this stuff is that it should follow vanilla behaviors

[slate current]

Yeah that's what made sense to me as well, just wanted to get confirmation before PRing anything into list loading logic

[glossy bough]

    public void onChat(@NonNull AsyncChatEvent event) {
        var prefix = TagResolver.resolver("prefix", (args, ctx) -> Tag.inserting(getPrefix(event.getPlayer())));

        event.renderer(ChatRenderer.viewerUnaware((player, playerDisplayName, message) -> {
            return
                    MiniMessage.miniMessage()
                            .deserialize("<prefix> <name></prefix> <dark_gray>» <gray><message>",
                                    prefix,
                                    Placeholder.parsed("name", player.getName()),
                                    Placeholder.component("message", message));
        }));
    }

    final Component getPrefix(Player player) {
        LuckPerms lp = LuckPermsProvider.get();

        PlayerAdapter<Player> adapter = lp.getPlayerAdapter(Player.class);

        CachedMetaData metaData = adapter.getMetaData(player);

        String prefix = metaData.getPrefix();

        return MiniMessage.miniMessage().deserialize(prefix);
    }```
why doesnt my color of my prefix continue over to my username

[boreal orchid]

actually, do you want the username to also be a gradient or just the last color of the prefix's gradient (purple)?

[glossy bough]

just to continue so your username is the last color of your prefix

[boreal orchid]

hm, wonder if one could just use LinearComponents thing for that

[boreal orchid]

@EventHandler
public void onChat(@NonNull AsyncChatEvent event) {
  var prefix = getPrefix(event.getPlayer());

  event.renderer(ChatRenderer.viewerUnaware((player, playerDisplayName, message) -> {
    return Component.textOfChildren(LinearComponents.linear(prefix, playerDisplayName), Component.text(" » ", NamedTextColor.DARK_GRAY), message);
  }));
}

public Component getPrefix(Player player) {
  LuckPerms lp = LuckPermsProvider.get();

  PlayerAdapter<Player> adapter = lp.getPlayerAdapter(Player.class);

  CachedMetaData metaData = adapter.getMetaData(player);

  String prefix = metaData.getPrefix();

  return MiniMessage.miniMessage().deserialize(prefix);
}

can you try this

scrapped the whole MiniMessage stuff since it made the whole thing more confusing than it needed to be, unless you're gonna put the format string into a config it isn't necessary anyway

[glossy bough]

alr to back to normal components

[glossy bough]

welp i dont think there is lot more we can do now it dont work

[boreal orchid]

well, if anything you can do this:

@EventHandler
public void onChat(@NonNull AsyncChatEvent event) {
  var prefix = getPrefix(event.getPlayer());
  var style = prefix.children().getLast().style();
  event.renderer(ChatRenderer.viewerUnaware((player, playerDisplayName, message) -> {
    return Component.textOfChildren(prefix, playerDisplayName.style(style), Component.text(" » ", NamedTextColor.DARK_GRAY), message);
  }));
}

I don't find it to be particularly clean but that's probably the only thing that's gonna work properly lol

I also don't know whether it'd be better to use mergeStyle or applyFallbackStyle

[glossy bough]

ima just try that

if that dont work

ima go sleep

its like 1 am already

it works

...

now i can go sleep gn

[gray shuttle]

<hover:show_item:diamond_helmet:1:{"minecraft:enchantments":{"minecraft:aqua_affinity":1}}> this mm tag doesn't work, am I wrong?

[sand drift]

You’d need to test but fairly sure that’s invalid

[gray shuttle]

yep it output just default diamond helmet

[sand drift]

Oh, the layout is correct, idk about the tag though,

[gray shuttle]

it's wrong maybe but I don't think it's wrong SNBT format afaik lol

[boreal orchid]

try putting the tag argument in-between single quotes (')

[sterile rampart]

not how component syntax works

guess we need to update the docs

[gray shuttle]

it doesn't seem to be working

oh is docs outdated?

[gray shuttle]

then how should I use it?

[sterile rampart]

https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure/blob/main/4/text-minimessage/src/main/java/net/kyori/adventure/text/minimessage/tag/standard/HoverTag.java#L135

[boreal orchid]

from that code, an example of it would be <hover:show_item:'diamond_sword':1:'minecraft:enchantments':'{"minecraft:sharpness":5,"minecraft:looting":3}'>

for what's worth, you can just serialize a component into MM to get what it'd look like, i.e.:

var item = ItemStack.of(Material.DIAMOND_SWORD);
item.addEnchantment(Enchantment.SHARPNESS, 5);
item.addEnchantment(Enchantment.LOOTING, 3);
MiniMessage.miniMessage().serialize(Component.text("Something").hoverEvent(item));
// returns <hover:show_item:diamond_sword:3:enchantments:'{"minecraft:looting":3,"minecraft:sharpness":5}'>Something

[gray shuttle]

ok I know now, thank you!

[severe hollow]

Hi - is there a non-deprecated version of player.sendTitle(); e.g. with components?

[sterile star]

That'd be player.showTitle()
-# See JavaDocs link below this message

[sour totem]

https://jd.advntr.dev/api/4.26.1/net/kyori/adventure/audience/Audience.html#showTitle(net.kyori.adventure.title.Title)

[severe hollow]

Got it, thank you!

[shadow wyvern]

is there any (hacky works for me) adventure implementation for hytale?

and how complicated would it be to implement one myself

[sand drift]

Somebody at work tossed one together, not public though

I think somebody in this discord also tossed one togther too somewhere, you'd need to search

[shadow wyvern]

will do

I think I went through like 2k messages at this point I don't think there is

[boreal orchid]

is text in hytale even remotely similar to components in minecraft

they mostly use json for everything so I assume it is in some sense, though I am sure they have a different set of features for things like click and hover events

[wet kestrel]

Both using json just means they both can have properties 🤔

[robust wharf]

features? in hytale? lol

you cant even have colored name tags

but yeah, I do want an adapter for it eventually, its on my list

for MM

its #4 on my shit I wanna do list rn ^^

[sand drift]

i glanced at it and it looked like it was fairly componenty, and somebody at work said the same and said they could probably get adventure working for it

I thought somebody had posted one in a channel somewhere on here but, idk, discord search is useless and my memory is tragic

[robust wharf]

I did saw somebody using minimessage in hytale already, ye

you just need to translateadventures component class to hytales message class

[sterile star]

I mean, as long as they figure out a component serializer for whatever hytale uses, it works fine

[robust wharf]

and I think they only did color

[shadow wyvern]

I use a lot of TranslatableComponents, I wonder if those will be able to be used

might require to expose the Plugin/Server methods to give own logic to handle choosing Locale

[boreal orchid]

if you use translatable components for server-side translations, all it'd take is rendering the translations before converting it to hytale in the hytale component serializer

[sweet hornet]

Maybe there's no way to actually get them in "vanilla", but when exploring the player data files we can see this:

"DisplayName": {
  "DisplayName": {
    "RawText": "indyteo",
    "Bold": null,
    "Italic": null,
    "Monospace": null,
    "Underline": null
  }
}

Which suggests that some styling is intented to be supported

[robust wharf]

well the packet doesnt allow it rn

its just a string

same with kick message

[sweet hornet]

I guess it's still work in progress then

Or maybe they tried with the display name then scraped the idea idk

Either way, considering the early state of all this, I wouldn't invest much time to this 😅

[rare sage]

people still need to remember that it's just an unfinished early access and the game has a lot of development ahead still

[cloud topaz]

Can someone give an example of using a sprite with adventure not minimessage? It's a new feature so it's hard to find any public plugins that do this

[sterile star]

final Component component = Component.object(ObjectContents.sprite(
  Key.key("items:item/diamond")
));

That's the Adventure™ way of working with object components

[cloud topaz]

Thanks

How would I know the path of the item I want to use?

[sterile rampart]

those are drawn from whatever resource packs the client has

so for vanilla items you can look into the builtin resource pack

[sweet hornet]

And if you want to automatically get the best (which may be subjective, but well, at least one) sprite for a given item, I’ve made mappings from Paper Material to sprites components

[raven tusk]

player:levelForXp
or
player:level_for_xp
or
player:level-for-xp

What is dev recommend

[sterile rampart]

_ seems to be what vanilla uses these days

[raven tusk]

thx!

[tardy mirage]

Is it possible to use Adventure to set the name or lore of the Component type for an ItemStack while only introducing the Spigot dependency?

Or any another way?

[mossy imp]

convert the Component to BaseComponent using gson

https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure-platform/blob/main/text-serializer-bungeecord/src/main/java/net/kyori/adventure/text/serializer/bungeecord/BungeeComponentSerializer.java

[tardy mirage]

thx

[tawny locust]

@boreal orchid is Component.object a 21.11 thing?

working in .8 and don't see it in adventure

[boreal orchid]

it was introduced in 1.21.9 I think

[tawny locust]

aaaaaaaa

just trying to make a custom textured button 😭

[grim bear]

Hello, I'm working on a special anvil GUI that allows players to rename items using MiniMessage formatting codes. Currently I just deserialise the rename text and apply it to the resulting item, but I want there to be limits, i.e. I only want to allow colour codes, and some formatting codes, like <bold> and <italic>, but I don't want to allow things like <newline>. What would be the best way of doing this?

[sweet hornet]

Create your own MiniMessage instance with only the tag resolvers you want/need

[grim bear]

ty!

also, is there an equivalent to String#isBlank for components?

or would I need to serialise it to plain text and call isBlank on the resulting string?

[sweet hornet]

There's not, because some components are dynamic (score, NBT...) and cannot be determined whether they're blank or not. However, in your case, since you filter which components are allowed, you know you only have text components, so yeah either plain text serialize and check if the result isBlank, or traverse the tree yourself and cast each component to TextComponent, and check if the content isBlank

[grim bear]

How do I do this? Are there docs/examples I can refer to?

the way I currently get my instance is simply with MiniMessage.miniMessage(). I can't immediately see other methods that allow me to specify tag resolvers or something

[sand drift]

MiniMessage.builder()

[grim bear]

Is there a way I can include a literal <red> tag (for example) in a string and have it not be parsed by MiniMessage? I'm writing an in-game book as a reference for MM tags that players can use

I plan on the book just being a string list in a yml file, and each line will be deserialised

[sour totem]

escape it with a \

[grim bear]

Is there a way I can have tag aliases in my MiniMessage instance? For example, I could have a <grad> tag that works exactly the same as <gradient>? I'm allowing MM tags to be parsed in a special anvil GUI, and the character limit of anvil GUIs is proving to be a problem, so I want to create shortened versions of all the tags I can if possible

[boreal orchid]

you can simply register a custom tag resolver with the alias

myMMBuilder.editTags(builder -> builder.tag("grad", (args, ctx) -> StandardTags.gradient().resolve("gradient", args, ctx))

[grim bear]

I'll give it a try thank you!
