miniMessageLimited = MiniMessage.builder()
        .tags(TagResolver.builder()
                .resolver(StandardTags.color())
                .resolver(StandardTags.gradient())
                .resolver(StandardTags.rainbow())
                .resolver(StandardTags.decorations(TextDecoration.BOLD))
                .resolver(StandardTags.decorations(TextDecoration.UNDERLINED))
                .resolver(StandardTags.decorations(TextDecoration.STRIKETHROUGH))
                .build())
        .editTags(builder -> builder.tag("db", (args, ctx) -> StandardTags.color().resolve("dark_blue", args, ctx)))
        .editTags(builder -> builder.tag("dgreen", (args, ctx) -> StandardTags.color().resolve("dark_green", args, ctx)))
        .editTags(builder -> builder.tag("da", (args, ctx) -> StandardTags.color().resolve("dark_aqua", args, ctx)))
        .editTags(builder -> builder.tag("dr", (args, ctx) -> StandardTags.color().resolve("dark_red", args, ctx)))
        .editTags(builder -> builder.tag("dp", (args, ctx) -> StandardTags.color().resolve("dark_purple", args, ctx)))
        .editTags(builder -> builder.tag("dgray", (args, ctx) -> StandardTags.color().resolve("dark_gray", args, ctx)))
        .editTags(builder -> builder.tag("lp", (args, ctx) -> StandardTags.color().resolve("light_purple", args, ctx)))
        .editTags(builder -> builder.tag("grd", (args, ctx) -> StandardTags.gradient().resolve("gradient", args, ctx)))
        .editTags(builder -> builder.tag("rb", (args, ctx) -> StandardTags.rainbow().resolve("rainbow", args, ctx)))
        .build();

This is my instance now, is this a giant yikes? Wondering if there is a better way to do it (I'm pretty inexperienced with consumer type stuff)

and is there a way to allow these shortened colour tags to also work inside gradient tag usages? e.g. <gradient:db:dr> would be equivalent to <gradient:dark_blue:dark_red>

[sweet hornet]

No, those are based on the global named colors registry, which is immutable

[sweet hornet]

You could configure your builder in a single consumer, something like:

MiniMessage.builder().editTags(tags -> tags
    .resolver(StandardTags.color())
    .resolver(StandardTags.gradient())
    ...
    .tag("db", ...)
    .tag("dgreen", ...)
    ...);

Just check whether the initial builder instance (MiniMessage.builder()) comes empty or with standard tags built-in. If is starts empty, that's fine, if all standard tags are pre-registered, then you need to first remove them with something like MiniMessage.builder().tags(...empty...).editTags(...)

I just can remember how easily you can make an empty tag resolver to clear them

Also, you might want to define yourself an helper function like:

private static void defineAlias(TagResolver.Builder tags, String alias, TagResolver resolver, String realTag) {
    tags.tag(alias, (args, ctx) -> resolver.resolve(realTag, args, ctx));
}

So you could just do like:

defineAlias(tags, "db", StandardTags.color(), "dark_blue");
defineAlias(tags, "dgreen", StandardTags.color(), "dark_green");
...

[boreal orchid]

Here's an utility which makes this a bit simpler: https://gist.github.com/JavierFlores09/29267145cea1d8a3236ac8cde79b99a0, you'd use it like so:

MiniMessage.builder()
        .tags(TagResolver.builder()
                .resolver(StandardTags.color())
                .resolver(AliasedTagResolver.builder(StandardTags.color())
                        .alias("dark_blue", "db")
                        .alias("dark_green", "dgreen", "darkg")
                        // more aliases...
                        .build())
                .build())
        .build();

[sweet hornet]

This will only handle colors, not gradient/rainbow

[boreal orchid]

it was just an example, but the utility in question should be useable for any tag resolver

Ah, I see what you mean now, I accidentally put the gradient tag as alias there. Fixed that

[sand drift]

That would rely on the color provider which afaik doesn't currently properly support that

[sterile star]

Reminds me of this PR some random guy made a while ago https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure/pull/1311

Just imagine how nice it'd be

[shadow wyvern]

:) made a hytale platform implementation myself

[shadow wyvern]

I can upstream this if I clean it up

[cloud vapor]

Not worth upstreaming it until they actually release their API

[shadow wyvern]

Yeah I guess so, and they are probably going to implement more features for messages soon enough, there's no proper way to do hover events currently (but of course maybe not)

[robust wharf]

the main issue is that we couldnt publish it

idk why they dont publish an api jar

it just makes everybodies life harder than it needs to be, I thought modding was a focus?

[sweet hornet]

I guess is "modding" the way they intended (through they own built-in tools) that is a focus

Like, not modding for developers, modding for content creators (making and adding assets)

[cloud vapor]

iirc they are going to publish an api jar and open source the server but currently they're focusing on moving fast and breaking things

[sweet hornet]

Quotes from their EULA:

Where we provide you with official APIs, SDKs, or tools pertaining to the Game, your use is subject to the EULA

You may not: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Game except as permitted by law;

Nothing in this EULA limits your rights under applicable law to conduct reverse engineering solely and to the extent necessary to achieve interoperability between the Game and independently created software, provided such activity is strictly limited to what the law permits and does not disclose or misuse our proprietary information.

So they say that they provide an official API, somehow. But we can't compile or reverse engineer it. Except to create interoperable software (i.e. mods)!

[sand drift]

Well, the official deployment of stuff is coming; Once that comes people can build against it, until then, there is no artifact to build against which wouldn't be somebody redistributing their software

[shadow wyvern]

Yeah they said it'll be published to maven central. I've been using lucko's repository for it for now

[last horizon]

as far as i understand it lucko breaks the eula by publishing the jar himself
i made eula compliant "tooling" for it because i needed it for ci
i cant rely on adding the jar manually myself

[hardy estuary]

Hello has Minimessage some sort of class where I can get a List of minimessage existing tags?

example <red><green>...<bold><reset><shadow><click><key>... etc? Basically all the tags listed in the docs

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

[steady osprey]

they did

half an hour ago 😁

[sweet hornet]

A little bit late, but I stumbled across that while looking for something else:
https://github.com/MeveraStudios/text-serializer-hytale

I haven't looked at it at all, just remembered someone asked about that here, so it connected the dots

[cloud vapor]

StandardTags

[stark badger]

where did they publish it?

[radiant shadow]

Release, Pre-Release

[shadow wyvern]

I guess I'll open a PR

My HytaleComponentSerializer is questionable

but works very fine (and with translations)

[shadow wyvern]

Need to fix all checkstyle things tho

[cloud vapor]

publishing the api jar != releasing and relatively stabilizing an api

i wouldn't have anything in adventure until they've released stuff, started documenting, released some sort of policy for evolution/deprecation, etc

for now it would make a nice community library

[shadow wyvern]

I opened a PR, should I make it a draft? Or are lingering PRs disliked?

They've marked a lot of stuff deprecated already to steer what you should do and what you shouldn't which I would take as a hint that undeprecated things are not going to change. The only thing that a stabilized API in the platform implementation would really matter is the message format

[sterile rampart]

I wouldn't trust that, tbh should probably grow as a separate repo for a bit

[hardy estuary]

In Component is there a way to colorize it with gradient instead of using Minimessage?

like Component.text(Some text)....

[sour totem]

there is not

[hardy estuary]

oh kk

mostly my main issue is that I have a replacement for {something}. But if before {something} somebody puts a <gradient> I am not able to recognize anymore {something} with TextReplacementConfig.

[boreal orchid]

if you are using MiniMessage, just use dynamic replacements for your placeholder

it would change the format from {something} to <something> but hopefully that isn't an issue

[hardy estuary]

I already tried but still wasn't recognized. I will try with dynamic replacements. Do you already know if they works after I parse the minimessage tags and then I do the replacement?

Example

final var textReplacementConfig = TextReplacementConfig.builder().matchLiteral("{something}").replacement(object.getReplacement()).build();

String input = "Dear <gradient:...>{something}</gradient>";
Component inputToComponent = Minimessage.deserialize(input);

inputToComponent = inputToComponent.replaceText(textReplacementConfig);

[boreal orchid]

the idea would be to not use text replacement config at all

var input = "Dear <gradient:...><something></gradient>";
var parsed = MiniMessage.miniMessage().deserialize(input, Placeholder.unparsed("something", object.getReplacement()));

[hardy estuary]

mmm but if the object.getReplacement() has minimessage tags inside it, will those get parsed?

[boreal orchid]

you can use Placeholder#parsed in that case I believe

I never remember whether one has to use parsed or unparsed in that situation

[hardy estuary]

nono I don't want to trust the getReplacement input

[boreal orchid]

then the other one is fine

[hardy estuary]

but Im trying now, thanks for the suggestion

[mint path]

Does adventure support the playerhead/itemstack components now?

[boreal orchid]

it has for a while now

[mint path]

wasn't immediately seeing how to do it yet

yeah i'm just now updating from 1.21.8

[sweet hornet]

Well, considering they were added in Minecraft 1.21.9, that's logic

[boreal orchid]

Component::object and factory methods in the ObjectContents class is where you'd want to look at if you are dealing with components directly

if you're using MM, then the respective tags for those should be listed in the format documentation

[mental vine]

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

[mint path]

Would just be using raw adventure for starters, gotta see about how to use an ItemStack, particularly one with custom model data from our resource pack

[sweet hornet]

That's not how it works

[boreal orchid]

if you have a resource pack, then you'll have to provide a sprite for your custom thing

it doesn't take the actual texture of the item in question

[sweet hornet]

Object components doesn't handle item stacks, they handle sprites. And unfortunately, it's up to you to find the sprite corresponding to the item

[mint path]

i mean we've been just using the unicode character for it for now which i suppose still works just fine

[sweet hornet]

Most items are defined from a simple item texture, so in those cases it's nearly a 1:1 mapping between the material and the sprite, but there are more complex cases. And custom models are one of them

[mint path]

But would like to start using vanilla mc items as well in things

so the key would more or less probably be the lowercased material name?

[sweet hornet]

For some of them, yeah. But while it is the case for most of items, it's certainly far from most of other materials (blocks)

I've made this project which you can use to have mappings between Materials and sprites:
https://github.com/indyteo/MaterialSpritesGenerator

[mint path]

Ah, very handy!

[sweet hornet]

But be careful, if the itemstack has an item_model defined, you should use that material instead. And if you have custom item textures, you should provide your own mappings, and maybe I could improve the code so provide an extension point to help with this, but I'm not familiar with custom item textures

[shadow wyvern]

Do you mean that I should let it "marinate" in my own fork?

[sterile rampart]

why would it need to be a fork? it could be a standalone library

[shadow wyvern]

A standalone library inside the adventure/paper organization? That's basically my question, because if so, that can be made a reality

[sterile rampart]

and realistically there's no point putting anything new into the adventure-platform repo, it's basically maintenance mode at this point

[shadow wyvern]

What would it be called when it would include implementations for other games?

[sterile rampart]

it could eventually be adopted, but probably step 1 would be just do a thing and link it on the community libraries page

probably adventure-platform-hytale or sth

[sterile star]

Idk, I am not convinced that the Adventure platform can be implemented ontop of hytale

They are different games with way different UI elements

[shadow wyvern]

You could implement them all things Minecraft has in Minecraft-style as you can create UI elements server-side in Hytale to polyfill those. But that does go over what I would consider adventure's job

[sterile rampart]

i mean i've thought about doing up an adventure-platform-jline for a 'console' platform before

adventure-platform-hytale is no less realistic

[sterile star]

For the Component parts, yes, but not the actual UI elements

Good luck getting a bossbar to show in console

[shadow wyvern]

Components are the most important, for me adventure has been in my common module in plugins, so to add Hytale support I really didn't have to do much as to just port some libraries. This is the same for all Minecraft things too

[sterile star]

Adventure (and audiences) include stuff like books, bossbars, resource packs, sounds, action bars, titles, player list stuff

I don't know how many of those are in hytale. And sure, you could re-add them, but this still feels to me more like something you'd want tailored specifically for hytale (maybe rip out the components part of adventure?)

I am just saying you'd end up with a ton of unimplemented methods, which, if we remind ourselves of the Audience implementation in Velocity, can be a bit annoying for devs if they don't read the JD and just go off of methods

Something something sounds and books

Oh yeah also in components: object components, translatable components, hover style, click style, obfuscated style, text shadow, any sort of NBT, score, or other server-resolved components

[hardy estuary]

im dumb, the {something} is being replaced by a Component

[boreal orchid]

you can use Placeholder#component to insert a component as a placeholder

[hardy estuary]

u.u true, thanks

[sterile rampart]

@shadow wyvern You are not kyori, do not publish software in the net.kyori namespace please.

[shadow wyvern]

forgot to change that. Will do that

[mint path]

Since LEGACY_COMPONENT_SERIALIZER.serialize can't handle Component.object(), how can I strip those out before doing a serialization of one?

[sterile rampart]

don't we let you pass a custom flattener in the legacy serializer builder?

[knotty laurel]

does adventure nbt not have a mergeCompound or similar method?

[boreal orchid]

what would merging imply

you could technically do someCompound.put(otherCompound) and it'll overwrite tags as necessary

but if your idea of merging them is to merge their values, then that'd be more tricky

if CompoundBinaryTag#stream flattens the containing compound tags, which I doubt, you could just do it with a stream then collect it into a compound tag

though flattening the stream yourself shouldn't be hard either

well, I guess that'd end up with a flattened compound if you just collect it like that

[knotty laurel]

if I were to merge these two:
{components:{"minecraft:enchantments":{"minecraft:sharpness":2}}}
{components:{"minecraft:enchantments":{"minecraft:knockback":2}}}
I would expect a result of
{components:{"minecraft:enchantments":{"minecraft:sharpness":2,"minecraft:knockback":2}}}

and if I merged that result with
{components:{"minecraft:enchantments":{"minecraft:sharpness":3}}}
I would expect it to overwrite sharpness with that level
{components:{"minecraft:enchantments":{"minecraft:sharpness":3,"minecraft:knockback":2}}}

and if it was merging with a list I think it should just add that value to the nbt list

another nbt library, nbt-api has a method that does this (by calling nms)

[sterile rampart]

I mean dfu has something like that, it's not the wildest ask

could be pr'd

[robust chasm]

Hey, I've been looking for the Adventure API's branding icon/logo, if anyone could direct me or help me find it it would be amazing

Nvm, I think I found it

[sterile rampart]

what are you using the logo for?

[robust chasm]

I’m making a website to showcase a project I’ve been working on. Just wanna show what is being used

[vast oxide]

uh, is the webui down? https://webui.adventure.kyori.net/

nevermind

its https://webui.advntr.dev/ only now?

[cloud vapor]

Yes we migrated the URL early last year

or maybe it was earlier than that i cant remember

[vast oxide]

oh really? that url always worked for me

i had it bookmarked for a long time and i use it very often

i thought maybe i'm getting blocked

but nah

[robust wharf]

maybe I should offer it under a papermc domain too so that I can acutally remmeber it, lol

[sand drift]

"it's adventure but without any of the vowels after a"

[mint path]

I don't fully understand how flatteners work. I see that I probably want to do something like this: java LegacyComponentSerializer.legacySection().toBuilder() .flattener(ComponentFlattener.builder() .mapper(ObjectComponent.class, component -> //???) .build()) .build(); but I don't know what to pass through to just strip (or replace with empty) this kind of stuff: Component.object(ObjectContents.playerHead(uuid))

[cloud vapor]

just do empty component

or replace with Component.text("bob's head") or w/e

[mint path]

It requires a string

[cloud vapor]

"bob's head"

[mint path]

i tried just "" but that kinda nulled out the entire component

[cloud vapor]

what are you trying to do

[mint path]

How would i extract the text content of that component?

[cloud vapor]

what text content

[mint path]

@BsonIgnore
public Component getHeadAndName(TextColor color) {
    if (headComponent == null) {
        headComponent = Component.object(ObjectContents.playerHead(uuid)).color(NamedTextColor.WHITE);
    }

    TextComponent name = text(" " + this.name);
    if (color != null) {
        name = name.color(color);
    }
    return headComponent.append(name);
}``` basically in legacy serialization the playerhead thing displays wrong so i need to remove it

[cloud vapor]

that's not wrong, that's how we did it

matches vanilla

but if you wanna remove it then yeah do ""

but you wanna build off an existing flattener otherwise you're just ignoring every other component type

e.g. ComponentFlattener.basic() or w/e

[mint path]

do i need to combine both? just doing empty string (well, "test") basically does this

it yeeted everything

[cloud vapor]

you are making a flattener that says "map objects to an empty string and ignore everything else" so yeah it's gonna be yeeting everything else

see ComponentFlattener#toBuilder to turn an existing flattener into a builder you can then modify

[mint path]

Gotcha, works. Thanks

now for a trickier one, is there a nice way for me to somehow also remove that whitespace i... forced in: #adventure-help message ?

eh probably just up to me to handle smarter

[boreal orchid]

you can just add the space to the object component instead

return Component.textOfChildren(headComponent.appendSpace(), name)

like so

[sterile rampart]

that won't change the flattener output

[boreal orchid]

welp, I was thinking maybe you could do it with a complex mapper that doesn't consume the children of the object component but that sounds complex and probably not a good solution

[mint path]

everybody still rolling their own word wrapping? I seem to have a ComponentSplitter and I don't know where I got it from but i doesn't support ObjectComponents so it needs updating

https://gist.github.com/Cryptite/457138367f1f73bbe499d95566e44384

[sterile rampart]

well nobody's pr'd it yet

[tulip wedge]

        TextReplacementConfig.Builder replacer = TextReplacementConfig.builder();

        for (Var variable : vars) {
            replacer.matchLiteral(variable.name);
            replacer.replacement(variable.value.toString());
        }

        return component;
    }```this is obviously not gonna work like this but, how can i make something like this?

        for (Var variable : vars) {
            component = component.replaceText(replacer -> {
                replacer.matchLiteral(variable.name);
                replacer.replacement(variable.value.toString());
            });
        }

        return component;
    }```previously it was like this but i thought its not good

[cloud vapor]

I'd suggest using a proper placeholder system like MiniMessage

[sand drift]

I mean, suuuure, but ^

[tulip wedge]

i already suffered converting everything to Adventure

i like the Var system i wanna keep it 😭

[sand drift]

replacing stuff inside of components is generally asking for some headaches especially if you want to start introducing some other features, it won't match across components, for ex

[tulip wedge]

simple placeholders

[sterile rampart]

ya if there's a bunch of placeholders from user input just go with MM

don't sunk costs yourself

[cloud vapor]

yeah the solution to a good placeholder system is to use mm - your second solution would kinda work mostly ig but jank

[tulip wedge]

😭

[granite spindle]

TagResolver resolver = TagResolver.resolver(
        Placeholder.unparsed("queued", String.valueOf(QueueService.get().getQueueSize())),
        ...
);

if (state.equals(ProfileState.IN_QUEUE)) {
    QueueEntry queueEntry = QueueService.get().get(player.getUniqueId());
    if (queueEntry == null)
        return resolver;
    Division kitDivision = profile.getGameData().get(queueEntry.getKit()).getDivision();
    resolver = TagResolver.resolver(resolver,
            Placeholder.unparsed("kit", queueEntry.getKit().getDisplayName()),
            ...);
    if (kitDivision != null)
        resolver = TagResolver.resolver(resolver,
                Placeholder.unparsed("kit_division", kitDivision.getDisplayName()));
}

is there a better way of doing conditional placeholders?

[cloud vapor]

you could do that logic inside a tag

so make your own tag resolver, check if your queue entry or w/e is null and then return that tag

[granite spindle]

i do want to keep this in one function, otherwise it could get pretty complicated

[cloud vapor]

then ig that's fine too

[boreal orchid]

I am not sure how to feel about that deeply nested tag resolver

[granite spindle]

me neither :/

[boreal orchid]

well, not that deep, probably just 3-4 levels but still

[granite spindle]

this is just a small part of the code lol

[boreal orchid]

I would have a List<TagResolver> where you add all your resolvers and only at the end wrap it in a single resolver

[granite spindle]

is there a caveat to doing what i'm currently doing though

[boreal orchid]

I don't think it matters either way

one just looks more iffy than the other, since I don't know how well MM deals with deeply nested resolvers but I think it might just flatten them into a sequential tag resolver

[granite spindle]

that's what i'm hoping

also with components, how are we supposed to set PAPI placeholders? replaceText?

[boreal orchid]

ideally you just set them before you parse the text into a component

[sterile star]

Alternatively you could use a tag resolver for PAPI placeholders

[boreal orchid]

people do that too ^, but it means changing the format to something like <papi:luckperms_prefix> instead of %luckperms_prefix%

[sterile star]

There's actually an FAQ for this exact question: https://docs.papermc.io/adventure/faq/#how-can-i-use-bukkits-placeholderapi-in-minimessage-messages

[thin osprey]

how do i strip some tags from a string but keep all the others?

like i want to strip away click but keep the color tag

is it possible

please @ me on response

[cloud vapor]

make an instance with the tags you want to strip, call stripTags on the string

[boreal orchid]

There’s stripTags which takes a tag resolver

[cloud vapor]

but like, this feels like an xy - you can just make an instance that ignores tags you don't want to ignore

[boreal orchid]

Ah but that’s just for additional tags

[thin osprey]

yeah i want to strip built-in ones

[boreal orchid]

You I’ll have to do what Kezz said

[thin osprey]

how can i do that

[cloud vapor]

get a builder, set the tags to only specific ones you want in StandardTags

[thin osprey]

tag or tagresolver does not have striptags only my minimessage instance has it

ah you meant mm instance

not a tagresolver

let me see

[tulip wedge]

i remember mojang adding something for showing material icons in chat, does adventure support that yet? how do i do it?

[sterile rampart]

Component.object(...)

[tulip wedge]

what do i give to that method tho 😭 couldnt find anything in docs

ohhh i see

mb

Component.object(ObjectContents.sprite(Key.key("minecraft:items"), targetSword.get().getKey()))

🤔

tried directly giving the material key too

figured it out okay

[sweet hornet]

@tulip wedge you can read here if you want more information

[tulip wedge]

will check, thanks

[hardy estuary]

Is there a way to use a TagResolver against a Component? Mostly to avoid calling component = component.replaceText(......);

[cloud vapor]

No

[hardy estuary]

so only solution is calling component = component.replaceText?

[cloud vapor]

Why do you have a component in the first place?

[hardy estuary]

Its from the ChatEvent

[cloud vapor]

Turn it into a string then - plain text serialize it or smth

[hardy estuary]

mmm no yeah its okay I mean, but why not use replaceText?

[cloud vapor]

idk, you were the one who said you wanted to avoid it :p

it's a bit slower and more object churny than mm - plus a whole lot less powerful than mm, and you basically would have to write an entire reimplementation of mm to get the same behaviour

but like if you're just doing simple stuff it's probably fine

[hardy estuary]

so you think its faster to serialize and deserialize against a TagResolver with Minimessage?

[boreal orchid]

It probably is given how people don’t reuse text replacement configs anyway

If it is for a chat renderer, you don’t have to serialize the component into a string, you can just make it a placeholder of a mm format string. That’s what people usually do

It allows you to offer a config option for the message format which is nice

[slim cloak]

hello, if i use TranslatableComponentRenderer and say no resource bundle had a key in it, does it skip that one and leaves it to client or something else?

[last horizon]

Yes

[hardy estuary]

Hello, I need to dispatch chat to other connected servers and I have this doubt.

Right now I have a format with <message> inside of it. I Use Minimessage and TagResolver with Placeholder.component() to replace the <message> in the format, this way if there is untrusted input, it won't get deserialized by MiniMessage.

What safety tips should I take care of for serialization before sending and deserialization when servers receive it? To avoid the untrusted input being parsed.

Should I use JsonComponentSerializer or Minimessage?

[cloud vapor]

That's basically it, if you just insert content as components or unparsed strings MiniMessage won't even look at the contents

For serialising components over the wire, you should use the JSON serializer as the MiniMessage one is slightly lossy when it comes to certain object components and click events

[hardy estuary]

Thank you, so from my understanding its safe to trust the incoming serialized input and deserialize it. All with Json serializer. Right?

[sweet hornet]

The user has no impact on the JSON encoding of the component, they only control the encoded content

It would be an issue with the JSON serializer otherwise

[hardy estuary]

No im not talking about user

[sweet hornet]

What safety are you talking about then?

[hardy estuary]

incoming = serialized input coming from server A to listening server

so when it arrives, the procedures described before arriving to the final Component have already taken place

[sweet hornet]

I mean, if your communication channel is secure, yeah

[hardy estuary]

and is JsonComponentSerializer resilient against possible breaks? if users finds a way by typing "{ }" to break the JSON

[sweet hornet]

Like I said here, yes

[hardy estuary]

Thanks guys

[dawn pewter]

i have got a custom mm instance with a bunch of custom styling tags and want to add a tag that adds a pipe "|" in a specific color.
ideally this would be ⁨<pipe:green>⁩ for example would result in ⁨<green>|</green>⁩. But i also have custom colors e.g. ⁨<pipe:customcolor>⁩ is there a way how i can achive this?
I am as far as defining a custom tag with an argument queue but how would convert that color string that can have a custom color to a TextColor?

[robust wharf]

Check if it's a text color, if so use that, else use you own parsing

Or first check your map of custom colors and then the named text colors

And if you need to handle hex, check for that too

[dawn pewter]

dang

[boreal orchid]

There’s a PR open for custom named colors but I doubt it is gonna get merged

[sterile rampart]

why do you doubt that?

[dawn pewter]

Probably because it waits 4 months to get merged

[cloud vapor]

4 months = forever ok yes taking notes

[tulip wedge]

can i somehow cache TagResolvers?

i just gave a quick look bc im about to go out but couldnt see

so I'd have a tag resolver that resolves "player" and I'd feed it with content whenever i need it, without creating a new object

[prisma mason]

cache as in what?
Have a tagresolver that takes a Player argument and uses the <player> tag or make a tagResolver that is used everywhere without duplicating it?

@tulip wedge

[cloud vapor]

You can store a TagResolver whole or you could make a TagResolver that caches the content it returns

[cosmic loom]

Is there a way to use choice tags with a minimessage translator?

ah I see, ⁨Argument.tagResolver(Formatter.choice(...))⁩

[hexed field]

I am attempting to make a sprite from the items atlas but it is not displaying correctly. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?
⁨<sprite:"minecraft:items":partyrealms:item/emerald_necklace>⁩
I can see the texture in the minecraft_textures_atlas_items (minecraft:items) atlas:
partyrealms:item/emerald_necklace x=714 y=346 w=16 h=16

I can generate a sprite from a minecraft texture using the following and it renders correctly
⁨<sprite:"minecraft:items":item/wooden_sword>⁩

[sand drift]

forgot to quote the right side of that?

Given the : in there

[hexed field]

yup that fixed it. thanks cat!

[tulip wedge]

i dont want to cache what it returns, i wanna have a TagResolver object that holds a key and i'd be able to pass a value to it anytime and it'd do its jon

Basically Placeholder#parsed(key, value) without the value in creation time

so i wouldnt create a tag resolver instance every time i need

currently its like this, run on every GUI open and it shows up a lot in profiler

i dont think caching the placeholders wouldn't do a lot in this case but better than nothing

the gui has a lot of items in it with long lores so its kinda heavy

[frigid plaza]

Heyo!

I am having issues with Adventure's translation capabilities. When I try to translate text, it fails to fill in placeholders from the translations.
⁨```java
ComponentSerializer serializer = PlainTextComponentSerializer.plainText();

TranslationStore translations = TranslationStore.messageFormat(Key.key("test", "test"));
translations.register(
"multiplayer.player.joined",
Locale.US,
new MessageFormat("%s joined the game!", Locale.US)
);
GlobalTranslator.translator().addSource(translations);

Component untranslated = Component.translatable("multiplayer.player.joined")
.arguments(Component.text("Username"));
System.out.printf("Untranslated: %s%n", untranslated);
System.out.printf("Untranslated (Serialized): %s%n", serializer.serialize(untranslated));

Component translated = GlobalTranslator.render(untranslated, Locale.US);
System.out.printf("Translated: %s%n", translated);
System.out.printf("Translated (Serialized): %s%n", serializer.serialize(translated));

This snippet outputs:
⁨```
Untranslated: multiplayer.player.joined
Translated: %s joined the game!
```⁩

Whereas my expected output would be:
⁨```
Untranslated: multiplayer.player.joined
Translated: Username joined the game!
```⁩

Is there anything that I am missing to achieve my desired output?

Thank you! <3

[cloud vapor]

Message format is {n} for placeholders, where n is the index of the argument

[tulip wedge]

🙁

[cloud vapor]

Spark screenshots are useless so I can't help you unfortunately

[frigid plaza]

Oooh okay, the docs show %s being used.

[rare sage]

that is the translation format for resource pack translations

oh dear that was a while ago

oh yeah that example is wrong

[boreal orchid]

can you share the spark report? I can't imagine it being that bad

I don't think it is a matter of the placeholder creation though, if anything ends up being "expensive" there it'd be the underlying TagResolver#resolve calls

I'd try and do a binary search as to what placeholder resolution is the worst performing, and work with that

[wet kestrel]

0.15% of a tick is 75 μs

I'll send the report when im on pc again

[native ledge]

how does one make/use an audience?

[boreal orchid]

what platform?

if it is in Paper, all entities implement Audience

[native ledge]

oh so calling things like ⁨sendActionBar⁩ on players would call the audience method instead of the deprecated player method?

[boreal orchid]

sendActionBar which takes a Component would call the appropriate method in Audience, yes

same for any of the other deprecated methods

[native ledge]

would I need to pass in an Audience as a parameter or can I just use a Player (or list of Players)?

[boreal orchid]

you can just use Player

[native ledge]

ok thank you very much!

[digital goblet]

Hello how can I get a component from nbt?

[raven crag]

Do you have a String or a CompoundTag?

[digital goblet]

CompoundTag

[raven crag]

I might have missed something, but searching around I'm not seeing an easy way. If you could convert your CompoundTag into a JSON string (like what you can use in /tellraw) then it'd be a simple case of using GsonComponentSerializer.

[sweet hornet]

First, why are you trying to do that? Then, do you really need it?

[digital goblet]

i mean ya I need it I need to load the default item components

[sweet hornet]

What component are you talking about? Can you give more context, and maybe an example plz?

[digital goblet]

DataComponents in ItemStack

like maxstacksize etc

minecraft

so for example inventory module knows how to stack items

its fine ill just code my own then

[sweet hornet]

But that's no related to adventure then?

I think you missunderstood "item data components" and "text (and other) components"

[digital goblet]

it is bc im using adventure?

Im using adventure nbt and stuff

its just trying to read a text component form a CompoundTag

theres a data component called item_name it needs a text component

[sweet hornet]

Ok, first why are you in this situation, then which platform are you using? Paper?

[digital goblet]

none custom

my own server

but im using advanture as a lib
for nbt and text components audience etc

[sweet hornet]

If you have no platform, what would you expect to transform your NBT data into?

[digital goblet]

net.kyori.adventure.nbt.CompoundBinaryTag -> net.kyori.adventure.text.Component

[sweet hornet]

So you're only talking about the custom_name item data component value (and similar, lore...)?

[digital goblet]

my problem happens with parsing those yes

[sweet hornet]

Ok I get it know. Then you'd want a component serializer for NBT, which I think I've already heard of, but I can't remember where for now. It might be in a platform implementation, I'll have a quick look

[digital goblet]

ok thanks

[sweet hornet]

I can't find it anymore sorry

[restive spruce]

[supple copper]

PAPIComponents.setPlaceholders()

in the latest papi version

[tardy mirage]

May be you can check my project

https://github.com/zzzyyylllty/EmbianComponent

[hardy estuary]

MiniMessage serializer = MiniMessage.builder()
  .tags(TagResolver.empty()
  )
  .build();

Is this the correct way to create a MiniMessage serializer who doesn't resolve any known tag? Like all default tags (<color><hover> ... etc)

[cloud vapor]

That would effectively be a plain text serializer yes

[tardy mirage]

Just

[cloud vapor]

Uh no

[rare sage]

that is different from what they shared above

[cloud vapor]

That would resolve every standard tag, they want a serializer that doesn't resolve any tags

so kinda the opposite :p

[tardy mirage]

Oh

My bad

PlainTextSerializer?

[cloud vapor]

basically yeah

[hardy estuary]

thank you!

[wicked torrent]

does anyone have some code handy to turn the vanilla Language instance into a Translator? working on something a little cursed

[cloud vapor]

Not exactly what you want but paper's flattener might be either a) another solution or b) have enough pointers for you to steal https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/blob/main/paper-server/src/main/java/io/papermc/paper/adventure/PaperAdventure.java#L73

[wicked torrent]

basically in the ghostty window is a little java app that connects to a server over a socket and gives you a full-featured console

I use json to send component logs over the socket, so that I can use the ANSI serializer client-side with the client app's terminfo

but I need to render vanilla/mod translations from Language on the server side

[cloud vapor]

ok so i'd instead make an AbstractComponentRenderer

and then copy that code from the paper flattener into that

[wicked torrent]

looking in vanilla code their equivalent for client rendering also works kind of like the flattener where it linearizes the message

[cloud vapor]

the flattener is good for component -> string but if you want component -> component then the renderer is good

basically you're just turning vanilla translatable components into normal text components then sending the whole thing over the wire and letting the client app flatten it with the ansi serializer right

[wicked torrent]

yeah exactly

gonna try again with adapting the flattener logic for my renderer

https://pastes.dev/EyctZSdFaU

wondering if I could get away with something even dumber like just try to resolve the key and put the result in the translatable fallback field

with mapComponentDeep or whatever

now I also need to hook into the ComponentLogger

[wicked torrent]

ran into a small problem with that

pretty sure it could be added as a simple callback in #log of the wrapping logger

I could copy out the class but would need to do it for all supported platforms, at which point I think an upstream hook makes sense

[sterile rampart]

ya i think that sort of hook could be reasonable

[wicked torrent]

the main annoying thing for paper was getting this log pattern to go over the network

*socket

[wicked torrent]

Looking closer the hook is not as simple as I hoped, also I would want to make sure I'm handling templates properly

so I will put ComponentLogger compat on hold for now

[sterile rampart]

I guess you could send ANSI over the socket and just conditionally strip or downsample in the client? maybe?

[wicked torrent]

definitely an option, would probably remove the need for the renderer as well

[nova igloo]

Hi! I recently discovered the Options in Adventure, but they seem to be immutable, yet the name makes me think they shouldn't be. Is this normal?

[cloud vapor]

yes

[nova igloo]

So, how would it be interesting to use them?

[cloud vapor]

if you don't have a specific use case for them then they aren't useful

they solve a specific purpose of having effectively a schema of options

[granite spindle]

what's the instance where typecasting Component to TextComponent is unsafe?

[cloud vapor]

where component is anything other than a TextComponent

casting to TextComponent generally smells like you're doing something unsafe

[granite spindle]

actually yeah i was just wondering, didn't see other types of components

is it possible to apply tag resolvers on top of a pre-existing component?

do i have to turn it into plain text then deserialize?

[boreal orchid]

TagResolvers are a MiniMessage concept, so yes, you'd have to serialize into MM and then deserialize it into a Component again

that being said, what is your goal with this?

I assume it is something to do with chat, that's when people usually find themselves doing what you want to do

[granite spindle]

applying placeholders on top of a clickable component

[boreal orchid]

where are you getting this clickable component from?

because if it comes from a config or something, you could just do the clickable part on MM too, like <click:run_command:whatever>My clickable text</click>

[granite spindle]

i see, that could definitely be a better alternative

this should be fine right?

<kit> being replaced by a tag resolver

[boreal orchid]

I believe it should, you might have to quote the argument though

&a

[granite spindle]

lol personally it's a pretty easy and quick shortcut for colors

but i didn't set this up, im just contributing

[boreal orchid]

I think it ends up being confusing when you begin using any color other than the default 16

[granite spindle]

yeah the code converts legacy to minimessage for people who prefer it

[boreal orchid]

it also doesn't represent much by itself, usually what I do when it comes to localization is provide configurable tags like <bg>, <fg>, <accent>

that way you give users freedom to define a design system

[granite spindle]

that does sound like a cool concept

thanks for helping me with this

[granite spindle]

what would be the best way to do something like this:
have a lore - <members> then when we get the lore, this same line is duplicated for each member so it turns into something like

- member1
- member2

would I have to make my own placeholder system to accommodate this? or is there an easier way while maintaining customizability through configs

there would be other lore above and below it

[boreal orchid]

sadly there's no good way to make a placeholder which expands to multiple lines for something like the lore, given each line of the lore is its own component

it comes down to component splitting which ends up being more involved than one would think

one thing I did at a point was just using Pkl for the configuration instead, which allowed me to do things like:

lore = [
  "Members:",
  for (m in members) { "- <red>\(m)" }
]

[granite spindle]

do color tags inside hover tags not work? it just displays hover tags with color as-is

when i remove the color tag, hover works fine

- '&bYou have been invited to &f<leader>''s &bparty <hover:show_text:<green>Click to join party</green>><click:run_command:/party join <leader>>(ACCEPT)</click></hover>'

[cosmic loom]

it would probably have to be in single quotes but why are you using legacy colour codes

[wet kestrel]

Yeah, the legacy code bit is a sign something is wrong here.

[obtuse ruin]

Create a tagresolver that loops though your members, create a component for each line and append a new line component. the resulting component then can be used as an argument ig

[granite spindle]

code replaces them to minimessage tags

and yeah it's in single quotes that's it i guess

[boreal orchid]

You can’t use new lines in lore

And splitting on new lines leads to style splitting issues

[granite spindle]

i got the hover to work now that i have added the single quotes, but why doesn't click work?

okay nvm i forgot i didn't add the /

nope still the same

ok im a little slow i had to add the single quotes to click too

didn't see it on the docs

[cosmic loom]

why would you do that to yourself

[granite spindle]

i didn't, the original creator did

[cinder pike]

I'm trying to figure out how to add custom placeholder replacement using TagResolvers, but not all messages in the plugin have 1 tag, some have 2. If I put 2 in formatText, it has to be 2, but I can't figure out how to make them dynamic.

https://pastes.dev/YdyBXTVxKt

[boreal orchid]

you don't have to build the MM instance every time, you can just pass the tag resolver(s) as param of the deserialize method

[cinder pike]

So I remove the Builder part, right?

[boreal orchid]

private static final MiniMessage MINI_MESSAGE = miniMessage = MiniMessage.builder()
                .tags(TagResolver.builder()
                        .resolver(StandardTags.color())
                        .resolver(StandardTags.decorations())
                        .build()
                )
                .build(); 

public static Component formatText(String message, @NotNull TagResolver... placeholders) {         
  return MINI_MESSAGE.deserialize(message, placeholders);
}

would recommend something like this. That way you can do:

formatText("<idk>hi <name>", Placeholder.component("idk", ...), Placeholder.parsed("name", ...));

[cinder pike]

I did that, and it works, meaning that it lets you put in more placeholders, but I didn't understand the part about Placeholder.component being parsed. What's the difference between the two?

    private static final @NotNull MiniMessage miniMessage;
    private static final MiniMessage MINI_MESSAGE = miniMessage = MiniMessage.builder()
            .tags(TagResolver.builder()
                    .resolver(StandardTags.color())
                    .resolver(StandardTags.decorations())
                    .build()
            )
            .build();

    public static Component formatText(String message, @NotNull TagResolver placeholders) {
        return MINI_MESSAGE.deserialize(message, placeholders);
    }
}

        if (mainConfigManager.getServerInfoMessageEnabled()) {
            player.sendMessage(MessagesUtils.formatText(mainConfigManager.getServerInfoMessage(),
                            Placeholder.component("prefix", mainConfigManager.getPluginPrefix()),
                            Placeholder.parsed("server_version", serverVersion)
            )
            );
        }

[boreal orchid]

you can read about the different types of built-in TagResolvers utilities in the javadocs:
https://jd.advntr.dev/text-minimessage/4.26.1/net/kyori/adventure/text/minimessage/tag/resolver/Placeholder.html
https://jd.advntr.dev/text-minimessage/4.26.1/net/kyori/adventure/text/minimessage/tag/resolver/Formatter.html

but in short, Placeholder#component lets you insert a Component directly into the string as a placeholder, and Placeholder#parsed lets you parse a MiniMessage String into it

[cinder pike]

So if I want to analyze the following string from the config, change type <displayname>, I have to use the component since the variable I created to use it is a Component, while parsed is a classic String.

<green>Hello <yellow><displayname></yellow> this is example message join</green>

[boreal orchid]

Usage examples if that makes it any more clearer:

// player.displayName() -> Component
player.sendMessage(formatText("Hey! <name>", Placeholder.component("name", player.displayName())));
// lets assume serverVersion is "<red>1.2.3"
// these two are technically equivalent, however it is probably preferable that you insert things via a TagResolver instead of just appending it to the format string
player.sendMessage(formatText("Your version is: " + serverVersion));
player.sendMessage(formatText("Your version is: <version>", Placeholder.parsed("version", serverVersion));

[boreal orchid]

that would be correct, yes

if you're making configurable messages, I would recommend using Adventure's internationalization features

[cinder pike]

Are you typing the correct <lang>?

[boreal orchid]

I don't understand the question. What I mean by message is this

[mental vine]

https://docs.papermc.io/paper/dev/component-api/i18n/

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

https://docs.papermc.io/adventure/minimessage/translator/

[cinder pike]

Yes, I understand that by using parsed I can use a String variable, while Component must be placed upstream as Component, otherwise it won't work.

[cinder pike]

I had come across this multilingual part a little earlier, although it is not the goal for now. First, I am migrating the entire part to minimessages colors, then I will move on to the rest.

[cinder pike]

Strangely, this gives me an error because I have one below the other.

        if (mainConfigManager.getServerInfoMessageEnabled()) {
            player.sendMessage(MessagesUtils.formatText(mainConfigManager.getServerInfoMessage(),
                            Placeholder.parsed("prefix", mainConfigManager.getPluginPrefix()),
                            Placeholder.parsed("server_version", serverVersion),
                            Placeholder.parsed("version", versionPlugin),
                            Placeholder.parsed("server_api_version", serverApiVersion),
                            Placeholder.component("displayname", displayName)));
        }

[wet kestrel]

What error, and what does "because I have one below the other" mean?

[wet kestrel]

Ah, look at the difference between what javier kindly spoonfed you and what you have for the parameters of that method

[cinder pike]

Yes, I'm rereading it to understand where I went wrong.

In this way, he intended to insert them using a TagResolver. I'm not sure if I understand correctly.

    public static Component formatText(String message, @NotNull TagResolver placeholders, 
                                       TagResolver.@NotNull Single serverVersion, 
                                       TagResolver.@NotNull Single version, 
                                       TagResolver.@NotNull Single serverApiVersion, 
                                       TagResolver.@NotNull Single displayName) {
        return MINI_MESSAGE.deserialize(message, placeholders);
    }

[sour quarry]

That's not what mbax meant. Most of those parameters are unused, and this entire overload is unnecessary. The method javier provided will work for your purpose, you seemingly just didn't copy it over completely

[cinder pike]

In practice, since I have them in formatText, I move them to the part where I manage formatText.

[sour quarry]

I'm not sure what you mean by that?

[cinder pike]

In the file above that Javier sent

// lets assume serverVersion is "<red>1.2.3"
// these two are technically equivalent, however it is probably preferable that you insert things via a TagResolver instead of just appending it to the format string

[sour quarry]

If you're fine not having the message format being configurable then yeah that works, but building a MM string by appending is way more difficult to modify down the line, and essentially impossible to make user-configurable in any sane way - that's why they (and I for that matter) strongly recommend using proper placeholders instead

[cinder pike]

The message side is inside the config where I have placeholders that I replace using formatText, so on the customization side, everything can be done; it's just the part with different types of placeholders, i.e., components + strings, that gives me an error.

[wet kestrel]

You're missing the varargs...

[cinder pike]

I did that, I don't know if I understood correctly, but the advice was to have it directly in coins without having to do that huge block every time formatText was used:

public class MessagesUtils {

    private static final @NotNull MiniMessage miniMessage;

    private static final String prefix = ExamplePluginAPI.getMainConfigManager().getPluginPrefix();
    private static Player player;
    private static final Component displayName = player.displayName();
    private static final String serverVersion = ExamplePluginAPI.getServerVersion();
    private static final String versionPlugin = ExamplePluginAPI.getVersionPlugin();
    private static final String serverApiVersion = ExamplePluginAPI.getServerApiVersion();

    private static final MiniMessage MINI_MESSAGE = miniMessage = MiniMessage.builder()
            .tags(TagResolver.builder()
                    .resolver(StandardTags.color())
                    .resolver(StandardTags.decorations())
                    .resolver(Placeholder.parsed("prefix", prefix))
                    .resolver(Placeholder.parsed("server_version", serverVersion))
                    .resolver(Placeholder.parsed("version", versionPlugin))
                    .resolver(Placeholder.parsed("server_api_version", serverApiVersion))
                    .resolver(Placeholder.component("display_name", displayName))
                    .build()
            )
            .build();

    public static Component formatText(String message) {
        return MINI_MESSAGE.deserialize(message);
    }
}

[wet kestrel]

Every time you paste something you are moving further and further away from the solution, and I'm starting to doubt you understand java fundamental or how to google considering your responses to my remarks.

[cinder pike]

I know that I missed the vaarargs that I had declared above, so I simplified it by passing the placeholders much earlier and not having to call them in formatText every time, even though the displayName part will be null as I did it.

[wet kestrel]

You should really check out some java resources

📖 Learn Java

To create plugins, learning Java beforehand is like learning how to write before creating a novel - it's an essential part of the process.

There is no shortcut to learning programming, just as there is no single, definitive way to approach it. Everyone learns differently. One of the best ways to learn is by doing and actively applying what you're learning as you go.

Learning Resources:

• Official Java Tutorials
• JetBrains Academy
• University of Helsinki's Open Course
• The Official Oracle Java Tutorials
• Udemy Course by Tim Buchalka (Paid)

The best time to start learning was yesterday, the second best time is NOW!

[cinder pike]

I appreciate the resources, but I find the constant doubt about my abilities a bit unnecessary. I am well aware that I still have things to learn, like all of us, but errors in logic or implementation are not a sign of “lack of knowledge of Java”; they are just part of the development process. I would appreciate feedback that is a bit more constructive and less critical.

[eager otter]

Can I apply value or texture to <head>?

[stark badger]

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

[eager otter]

In regular Minecraft, for example, I can specify a value with the tellraw command, but in Paper I don't see this in the documentation.

[stark badger]

you can use minimessage

but the tellraw command doesnt support it

[boreal orchid]

if you mean setting the profile textures, MM doesn't support it by default

you can however add a tag that does it

[eager otter]

Can you get example 🙏

    return Tag.selfClosingInserting(ObjectComponent.contents(contents));
});

you'd use it like this:

var message = "<head_texture:'http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/9d6bdd07abe3f398720e5f010648c2c194a2ba0f5ef3e27013b0670336eb4f3c'> Hey!";
player.sendRichMessage(message, SomeUtilClass.headTextureTag());

[crystal quarry]

Is there a JS/TS library for visualization? I'm building a plugin that heavily uses minimessage in its messaging and has a web editor for a lot of the configs

[robust wharf]

No, we didn't want to reimplement the parser and have a single source of truth

Our web editor just calls back to a backend that uses minimessage

[crystal quarry]

gotcha

[robust wharf]

(you may use those endpoints too)

[sterile rampart]

wonder how realistic it'd be to do something with say teavm or j2cl

[boreal orchid]

someone did a js implementation of MM I recall

[crystal quarry]

👀

[boreal orchid]

https://wasabithumb.github.io/minimessage-js/

[crystal quarry]

are they public?

i.e docs or wiki or something

[crystal quarry]

ooo

[boreal orchid]

they have examples on how to interface with it on their github, so you can probably just use that

[robust wharf]

Idk what exactly you are doing, but this might be of interest @crystal quarry https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure-webui/wiki/Editor-API

The API for MiniMessage to html is just websocket now :/

[cloud vapor]

I'm not against adding a plain ol' api endpoint

i should probably add some proper open api docs as well at some point

[sweet hornet]

I think that would greatly help yeah, not that it's particularily complicated, but at least it would serve as a great "hub of information" on the topic of web integration of MiniMessage

Maybe a JS package (or maybe a simple one file script since it's obvious) to demonstrate basic usage could as well be useful I think

[cloud vapor]

oh no we do have /api/mini-to-html

@crystal quarry ^

no i lied we dont it is websocket only

ill fix that

[robust wharf]

This I like the 3rd time I had that exact chain of thought kezz, lol

Just never got around to it

[cloud vapor]

ktor's openapi stuff is actually quite nice

[cloud vapor]

very nice, cant decide between redoc or swagger

[sweet hornet]

Personnaly I prefer swagger, but I guess it makes no real difference, it's really a matter of taste. As long as the OpenAPI file is accessible, it can be viewed in any client, right?

[cloud vapor]

yeah

could actually do both lmao

[sweet hornet]

That's what I was about to suggest x)

Does it represent a big maintenance cost for you?

[cloud vapor]

it's four loc and a single dep

[sweet hornet]

Swagger has a built-in "try it" button to execute requests and better understand the actual response, which redoc seems to not have

But redoc seems more oriented toward style customization if you want it to be highly integrated with the remaining of the documentation, as opposed to Swagger which is a pain to customize (I tried, long ago...)

[cloud vapor]

yeah ktor also only gives you the option of a single css file

for swagger customisation, no plugins or anything, which kinda sucks

like we couldn't even hide the explore top bar

which is fine but w/e

anyway, here's a wip https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure-webui/pull/270

[plush ginkgo]

how do i use the PreProcess interface for adding a tag ? im trying to make a tag <smallcap> that will turn all text to a small cap unicode character

i tried the modifying tag but it didnt help, it added the text after the original text

https://pastes.dev/A8OBqhqhlE

Output: Configurations reloaded successfully!ᴄᴏɴꜰɪɢᴜʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴs ʀᴇʟᴏᴀᴅᴇᴅ sᴜᴄᴄᴇssꜰᴜʟʟʏ!

message before minimessage parse: <green><smallcaps>Configurations reloaded successfully!

[cloud vapor]

Modifying is correct, just be careful about the children

[plush ginkgo]

im getting the problem where i get the original text still before the modified text, can you look into my code please? the code is in the pastes.dev

[sweet hornet]

Clear the children before returning the "modified" component

[plush ginkgo]

oh ok, let me try it

[mellow veldt]

What does this code appear as in 1.21.8: player.openWorkbench(null, true);

[sterile star]

Pretty sure that's a Paper method, not Adventure. You might want to ask in #paper-dev instead

[cloud vapor]

I feel like you're in the wrong channel, Adventure doesn't have an openWorkbench method - did you mean #paper-dev ?

[mellow veldt]

yea

wrong channel

[granite spindle]

"<aqua>You have been invited to <white><leader></white>'s party <hover:show_text:'Click to join party'><click:run_command:'/party join <leader>'><green>(ACCEPT)</click></hover>"

Using MiniMessage Placeholder. The first <leader> gets replaced with the correct name, but when I click the (ACCEPT) text, it sends /party join <leader> without replacing the placeholder.

[boreal orchid]

I think only pre-process tags (Placeholder#parsed generates those) are parsed inside tag arguments

otherwise the tag resolver in question has to manually parse the respective arguments with the given context

[wet kestrel]

Presumably this click is something relevant to that line, I'd just do <click_join> or whatever as a custom tagresolver

[granite spindle]

ah it would be great if i just use tagresolver with arguments

colors would get parsed inside arguments in that case right

ok probably not

[boreal orchid]

hm, now that I think about it, you can't really parse the arguments as that'd convert them to Components, and the click event payload only accepts text

you could technically deserialize it into a Component then serialize it into a String with the plain text serializer but that'd also strip color tags probably, which I doubt you'd want

[granite spindle]

should i do just a simple string replacement then?

[boreal orchid]

you should use a pre-process tag for <leader> or a custom tag like mbax advised

[wet kestrel]

custom tag resolver is much more user-friendly on readability

[granite spindle]

I had the wrong idea about custom tags lol, anyways, what do we do about hover then? make a different config entry just for hover text? If users ever need to use the placeholder inside hover

Some people might not even want hover

[granite spindle]

is there an in-built way to make placeholders render differently for each person? for example a relative-color placeholder where one message is broadcasted, and all team members see their own members' names as blue while enemies are displayed as red

or is it better to just send it for each player

[sour totem]

when deserializing with minimessage you have the option to provide a target (which would be done for each player), then in your TagResolver you can obtain that target from the context

[prisma mason]

you could use pointers

[cloud vapor]

no need to overcomplicate it, just use your player object or w/e

[mint path]

Is it possible to have localizable text as part of an itemstack's lore? And how would word wrapping work like that? We localize most of our text these days but not our custom items

[cloud vapor]

Assuming you are doing word wrapping yourself somehow as that's not part of Adventure, only you can answer that

But yeah nothing stopping you from localizing lore

[sour totem]

depends on if you're using the serverside translation system, itemstacks are mentioned as the main exception (https://docs.papermc.io/paper/dev/component-api/i18n/#where-translations-work) but if you're using a resourcepack it'll probably work fine

[granite spindle]

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

Implementation of getColoredNameResolver in a solo match:

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

I have a feeling I'm severely overcomplicating something here?

The final output:
Winner: winner was killed by loser (both names are in red)
Loser: loser was killed by loser (first name is in red, second is in green)

actually the final output seems to vary randomly, but one person sees both (killed & killer) names as their own name, the other gets both names correctly

[cloud vapor]

you can still manually translate components even if you're using serverside translations

or they might not be using paper

[cloud vapor]

i cant see you setting the target of that message anywhere

can you share some more code?

[boreal orchid]

what are you trying to do with this

[granite spindle]

#adventure-help message

[granite spindle]

getColoredNameResolver()
At the end (broadcast -> PlayerUtils.sendMessage -> CC.returnMessage) it comes down to here: https://github.com/mallusrgreatv2/Neptune/blob/relative-team-color/Plugin/src/main/java/dev/lrxh/neptune/utils/CC.java#L97

[cloud vapor]

i still can't see where you set the target there

[granite spindle]

huh

i could've sworn-

[boreal orchid]

you need to set the target when sending the message/deserializing, that's what the deserialize overload that takes a Pointered is for

[granite spindle]

seems the code is outdated? what the hell, intellij shows it's up to date

oh wait

i linked to master

https://github.com/mallusrgreatv2/Neptune/blob/relative-team-color/Plugin/src/main/java/dev/lrxh/neptune/utils/CC.java#L95

u might see some horrendous code 🙏

[14:00:07 INFO]: [Neptune] receiver: mallusrgreat, target:mallusrgreat, message: MATCH.TEAM_MEMBER_NAME.OWN
[14:00:07 INFO]: [Neptune] receiver: mallusrgreat, target:mallusrgreat, message: MATCH.TEAM_MEMBER_NAME.OWN
[14:00:07 INFO]: [Neptune] receiver: AspectPlayzX, target:mallusrgreat, message: MATCH.TEAM_MEMBER_NAME.OPPONENT
[14:00:07 INFO]: [Neptune] receiver: AspectPlayzX, target:mallusrgreat, message: MATCH.TEAM_MEMBER_NAME.OPPONENT

the target works fine
Neptune.get().getLogger().info("receiver: " + receiver.getName() + ", target:" + participant.getName() + ", message: " + message.getPath());

[cloud vapor]

then yeah that'll work fine

what specifically is the issue? your debugging should point you to any errors

[granite spindle]

for one person it says:
player1 won
player1 was killed by player1 (incorrect order, both are red)
player1 was killed by player2 (correct order, first is red, second is green)

this may not be adventure related...

[cloud vapor]

If the target is getting sent over correctly it's probably an issue in your logic somewhere

[granite spindle]

i understand that but the message was working correctly before I moved to this, this has gotta be a gotcha with adventure or something
i've carefully reviewed the logic and added a check which logs if the killed and the killer are the same, and it doesn't log, so it shouldn't say the same name

[cloud vapor]

There's no gotcha here, MiniMessage will only do what you tell it to

[calm basalt]

String input = "Roman Number <roman:3>";
Component component = MiniMessage.miniMessage().deserialize(input);
String reverse = MiniMessage.miniMessage().serialize(component);
System.out.println(input + " -> " + reverse);

Outputs
[11:31:18 INFO]: [STDOUT] Roman Number <roman:3> -> Roman Number \<roman:3>

Can it be disabled that it adds the \ before unkown tags?

[cloud vapor]

No, it's an intentional feature of the serializer to allow for round-trip serialization

[tulip wedge]

        ItemConfig itemConfig = menu.getProduct();

        TagResolver[] placeholders = new TagResolver[] {
                Placeholder.component("display_name", product.getItemStack().displayName()),
                Placeholder.parsed("price", String.valueOf(product.getSellingPrice())),
        };

        GuiItem item = ItemUtils.createItemBuilder(itemConfig, product.getItemStack().getType(), placeholders).asGuiItem();//.asGuiItem(e -> handleProductClick(player, product, e));
        gui.addItem(item);
    }```the display name component somehow gets [] to its start and end

[cloud vapor]

That's just what displayName does

You can look at the other name methods on ItemStack - but that's a #paper-dev question anyway

[tulip wedge]

right

sorry

[cloud vapor]

nw!

[robust wharf]

played around with it a bit and pushed some stuff (hope you dont mind), I think its good to go as an mvp?

[trim aspen]

I ran into a problem with my tag resolver, where my custom tag which looked something like <%30> wasn't working, presumably because of percent sign, bcs <tint30> was working correctly. (yeah ik you should use arguments, like tint:30). is there a reason why percent sign doesn't work?

[sweet hornet]

https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure/blob/main/5/text-minimessage/src/main/java/net/kyori/adventure/text/minimessage/internal/TagInternals.java#L40

[trim aspen]

so should I use something like [%]?

[sweet hornet]

TL;DR: Tag names can only match this: [!?#]?[a-z0-9_-]*

[trim aspen]

oh, ok

[boreal orchid]

I'd advise using a proper tag instead of whatever you're doing right now

[sweet hornet]

Which means optionally ! ,? or #, followed by any sequence of alphanumeric (and - / _) characters

[trim aspen]

yeah, I understand that

[trim aspen]

too far gone, even for trying to explain what I'm doing

[wet kestrel]

Time to go back

[boreal orchid]

the next time you have to touch this code you'll be even more deep into it, shaky foundation only leads to more issues in the long run

[cloud topaz]

https://webui.adventure.kyori.net/ is not working for me?

[sour totem]

https://webui.advntr.dev/

[cloud topaz]

Oh I need to update my bookmark then

[gentle pulsar]

hey, which version of mc did bring objects inside components (player heads etc.)?

[sweet hornet]

1.21.9 iirc

[trim aspen]

is there any way to force children in a component to use certain formats from tags? some stuff can be done with Style, but not every tag has a Style representation. for example, gradients. Imagine I have a TextComponent and I would like to apply x tags on it. I would need to deserialize that component, wrap it with tags and then serialize it. But bcs of the order the tags are resolved something like <gradient...><red>hi</red></gradient...> would produce red "hi" component, so basically, instead of applying style if absent I would like to apply style overriding the initial one while using tags

[sweet hornet]

If you want to overwrite the style, consider discarding it first

Does that make sense for you or do you want me to elaborate?

[boreal orchid]

I don't understand the goal here, why would you want to override the style if you purposefully wrote it that way

if you don't want red, then don't add the red tag to the input

[trim aspen]

well, incase of gradients, I would only want to discard the TextColor in Style, but it's impossible to tell which tag uses what kind of TextFormat, which I completely understand. But there's presumably no equivalent to forcing a style on a future component and its children with tags in minimessage, even though you can do this with adventure components

[trim aspen]

lets say I have a locale which wrote it that way and now it's lunar new year and I want to apply a certain gradient to every inventory name or whatever, the only way to do that is to serialize it, wrap with a tag and deserialize. It doesn't make sense to write another locale for just that

[trim aspen]

and that ties to this

[sweet hornet]

If you have the component, you can basically iterate over it and each child to unset its text color, then serialize it

[trim aspen]

If I wanted to just make every inventory name green, I would just apply a TextColor to that inventory name, can't do that with gradients

[trim aspen]

well yeah but I thought there would be already something for this

since adventure components have exactly that, so there should be something like Tag#styleOverriding or whatever in minimessage. yeah that's another thing but related to the issue

[rare sage]

I'd just recommend having different language files you pull from for different seasonal events tbh

[boreal orchid]

you could make a custom tag that chooses a gradient out of some list

something like <gradient_type:lunar> then have a config like:

gradients:
  lunar:
    - 0xc390d4
    - 0xc3904d

[cloud vapor]

this ^ you'll save yourself endless amounts of time

[dawn wharf]

Hello ñ.ñ,

I recently started using the <head:%player_uuid%> format in a plugin called CustomFishing to display the player's head on generated items. However, this causes an error for Bedrock players.
I reported it to the CustomFishing developer, and they mentioned the issue originates from Mojang’s side, specifically how certain UUIDs are processed. I encountered the same problem in one of my own plugins and resolved it by avoiding direct processing of those UUIDs.
In my case, I detect Bedrock players (for example, UUIDs starting with 00000000-0000-0000, which are commonly generated by Geyser/Floodgate) and switch the head resolution strategy accordingly:

private boolean isBedrockPlayer(UUID uuid) {
    String uuidStr = uuid.toString();
    return uuidStr.startsWith("00000000-0000-0000");
}

String headTag = isBedrockPlayer(entry.getUuid())
        ? "<head:" + entry.getName() + ">"
        : "<head:" + entry.getUuid().toString() + ">";

This way:

• Java players → <head:player_uuid>
• Bedrock players → <head:player_name>

By doing this, I prevent Adventure (or the head resolver) from attempting to resolve synthetic UUIDs that are not recognized by Mojang’s services, which avoids the exception.
Would it be possible to implement a similar fallback mechanism directly in Adventure so these UUID edge cases are handled more gracefully at the root level?

Thank you.

[mental vine]

message.txt by @dawn wharf: https://pastes.dev/CZTQiDY8Y4

[sand drift]

Adventure cares about serialisation aspects, the server resolving stuff with that data afterwards is 100% irrelevant to adventure

(MM has 0 context of platforms, or platform oddities, etc)

[cloud vapor]

I'm failing to see how that error you provided is a Paper issue

I'm not against adding functionality to safely handle any serialization errors or problems encountered but I don't really know what you're asking us to do here

[sand drift]

it sounded like they're expecting some form of logic somewhere to see that the UUID is technically invalid and try to resolve a player name or something to try to use that for the profile data in the serialised player head object

[cloud vapor]

The UUID isn't invalid, they are just not creating a valid component

{"hat":true,"player":"00000000-0000-0000-0009-01f576ef9696"} isn't a valid component, you specifically need "object":"player" otherwise it defaults to an atlas object type

I mean yeah it's an invalid UUID bc there is no version 0 - geyser or whoever should be using version 8 which is specifically for custom UUIDs

[dense veldt]

If I remember this correctly from when I implemented serialization for those (and assuming nothing changed since then) you don't need to specifically specify "object": "player". The issue is that the "short" form of {"player":"..."} only works with player names, if you want to use a uuid you have to put it inside a partial profile, e.g. {"player":{"id":...}}

[cloud vapor]

oh yeah that too - strings are only for names yep

[dense veldt]

The regex in the head tag seems to only check for v4 uuids and otherwise creates a head tag with the supplied string as name https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure/blob/aa9b36d3fb50c7268afb4072a248fb3181a695f8/text-minimessage/src/main/java/net/kyori/adventure/text/minimessage/tag/standard/SequentialHeadTag.java#L56

[cloud vapor]

we could probably just move that to parse the UUID

that would fix what i assume they're also asking for, which is for it to not error like that

feel free to open an issue, or even better a PR @dawn wharf

[worthy adder]

Hey. I am trying to register a custom TagResolver to translate a string based on the player's language in my pluign, to use it in a FancyHolograms holo. Is there a way to do this?

[cloud vapor]

you mean like the lang tag?

[mental vine]

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

[boreal orchid]

for reference

[sterile star]

Hey, I am doing cursed stuff! The cursed stuff consists of a way to execute commands on my server from my Discord server via a Discord bot command. For that to work smoothly, I added a way to obtain the command output and want to print that back to the user. For this, I have a List<Component> output, which contains the command output. I now want to serialize these components into ansi strings, so that I can print them back to the user with an ansi code block (to retain a minimal level of color formatting). Here is my current code for the ansi serialization: ```java
final String ansiOutput = String.join("\n", output.stream()
.map(line -> GlobalTranslator.render(line, Locale.getDefault()))
.map(line -> ANSIComponentSerializer.builder()
.colorLevel(ColorLevel.INDEXED_8)
.build()
.serialize(line))
.toList());

Whilst this makes quick work of styled text components, I am having issues with translatable components. As you might see, I am rendering the components through the global translator, however at the end this simply result in the translatable component's key being printed (for example: `commands.ban.failed`).

I took inspiration from Paper's `ComponentLoggerProviderImpl`, which also converts and translates components for display in the console, meaning it should work in a similar way, however it doesn't seem to do anything differently from what I am doing. For this reason I wanted to request help on what might be the issue.

[cloud vapor]

assuming you're talking paper, the global translator doesn't contain vanilla translations (assuming that's commands.ban.failed?)

[wicked torrent]

that GlobalTranslator call in the provider is actually redundant anyways

the Paper flattener handles Language and GlobalTranslator

[cloud vapor]

yeah you can grab paper's flattener from PaperAdventure or something like that

[sterile star]

Aha, that would probably be it. Can I somehow get the Paper flattener from API or do I need to access the PaperAdventure class for that?

[cloud vapor]

and then just set that flattener in the ansi serializer builder

[wicked torrent]

the ansi provider should be adding the flattener by default

[cloud vapor]

yeaah it should be using whatever the platforms' plain text serializer right

[sterile star]

If that's what it should do, then I am concerned that it doesn't

[cloud vapor]

no it doesn't, it just uses the basic flattener

[sterile star]

Okay fair, guess I am gonna grab it from PaperAdventure

[cloud vapor]

it's also in api in PaperComponents

[wicked torrent]

oh it seems like the provider is not implemented

why does my code work in endermux then

[sterile star]

Literally magic

✨

[cloud vapor]

well that wouldn't matter in this case as he's building his own serializer from scratch anyway

rather than building off paper's one (assuming that does exist?)

[sterile star]

Great

[sterile star]

Well, assuming the platform SPI is implemented?

Tbh I am not certain it is, considering the ansi serializer is not included in API

I had to manually include the dep as compileOnly

[cloud vapor]

yeah got no clue how yours works fine then jmp lol - no ansi provider in paper and the ansi serializer just uses the basic flattener by default

[sterile star]

Alright great, this works:

final String ansiOutput = String.join("\n", output.stream()
    .map(line -> ANSIComponentSerializer.builder()
        .colorLevel(ColorLevel.INDEXED_8)
        .flattener(PaperComponents.flattener())
        .build()
        .serialize(line))
    .toList());

Thank you!

Maybe I should put the serializer building into a static field

lmao

[wicked torrent]

someone should make a discord bot using endermux protocol

[sterile star]

What everything can you do with endermux?

Any description of it somewhere?

[cloud vapor]

you do seem to have a language renderer class

[wicked torrent]

not used anymore

that was when I was sending component json over the socket, now log events are fully server rendered

[cloud vapor]

how odd

[wicked torrent]

gonna set a breakpoint

ok wait there is one ```java
@AutoService(ANSIComponentSerializer.Provider.class)
public final class ANSIComponentSerializerProviderImpl implements ANSIComponentSerializer.Provider {
@Override
public @NotNull ANSIComponentSerializer ansi() {
return ANSIComponentSerializer.builder().flattener(AdventureCommon.FLATTENER).build();
}

@Override
public @NotNull Consumer<ANSIComponentSerializer.Builder> builder() {
return builder -> builder.flattener(AdventureCommon.FLATTENER);
}
}

find usages was failing me

[cloud vapor]

ah i didn't think to look for auto service

[wicked torrent]

https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/commit/bfaabf0cd077bcaac42afa01259c2d986df673c8

someone can pull that out into a separate PR if they want it earlier

[cloud vapor]

@sterile star when that's merged you should drop your flattener setting as it'll be pulled in by the provider

[sterile star]

Sure, will do

[wicked torrent]

also I guess that call is not really redundant since it uses default locale and flattener uses US only

[sterile star]

Though it doesn't exactly hurt me if I keep it in even afterwards

[wicked torrent]

the main benefit of using endermux for a discord bot I think would be that you can start forwarding log messages much sooner

and colored component logger messages once that's implemented, since currently you'd be restricted to the host console color level when adding your own log4j appender

except for command feedback from the special sender api

[wicked torrent]

but I guess if the client is integrated to the plugin for other reasons, that benefit goes away

so I guess it's not that practical

and if endermux was in paper you could use it's log4j plugins for your bot even if it doesn't use the protocol

[sterile star]

I mean, my discord bot doesn't currently do any log forwarding

But for full log forwarding, I can see its usefulness

[torpid robin]

Is there any built-in way to convert a BinaryTag/SNBT to a nicely coloured Component? (like the output of /data get ...)

(and if not would that be a welcome PR?)

[sterile star]

There's a MI util method for it: net.minecraft.nbt.NbtUtils#toPrettyComponent

I am not sure if that's exposed in any way though (it's not)

[boreal orchid]

there's no part of the API that deals with NBT so I am not sure where you would even use this

[torpid robin]

Adventure has an NBT module 😛

[boreal orchid]

yeah but that isn't really used in Paper

[sterile star]

This is the adventure channel

[boreal orchid]

well, that's embarrasing. I really thought this was paper-dev lol. Apologies for the confusion

[sterile star]

rip

[boreal orchid]

I do feel like there was a pretty print method in adventure-nbt

[sterile star]

I certainly cannot find it

[boreal orchid]

You can configure the TagStringIO through its builder to do indentation

[sterile star]

Sure, but that's not what they are asking for

This is what they want, I believe

[boreal orchid]

Yeah, I was hoping there was more configuration options in TagStringIO but I guess that isn't its purpose

[cloud vapor]

that's nothing in adventure to convert nbt to a component

depending on the platform you're using, i can probably point you towards a good alternative, but nothing cross platform

[sterile star]

Isn't my util class cross-platform-y?

That's what the Vanilla /data command uses

[cloud vapor]

yeah if you've got nms code around, wouldn't work for e.g. velocity or minestom

[sterile star]

Yeah that's true

But at least you have a good base you can copy and make into your own impl

[ocean agate]

what does 5.0 bring us?

[sterile rampart]

its mostly removing deprecated api and bumping the Java version we build against

[deep steppe]

is there an issue with adventure's sound seed?
the java code wasnt working so i made this snippet for testing

import:
  net.kyori.adventure.sound.Sound
  org.bukkit.NamespacedKey
  org.bukkit.SoundCategory

command test:
  trigger:
    set {_key} to new NamespacedKey("minecraft", "entity.cow.ambient")
    loop 50 times:
      set {_sound} to Sound.sound().source(SoundCategory.MASTER).volume(50).pitch(1).seed(loop-value).type({_key}).build()
      player.playSound({_sound})
      wait 1 second

and it plays the same sound each time

happens with all sounds that have random variants

[prisma mason]

https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure/issues/1202

[cloud vapor]

i have no clue how skript or whatever that is works so have no clue what your code is doing

but it's possible that 1-50 play the same sound yes

[deep steppe]

its playing seeds 1-50 with 1 second interval

i mean what are the odds that the first 200 seeds are same, something has to be wrong
and its still going after 200

it changes at 300~ 😬 nevermind

[deep steppe]

https://github.com/erenkarakal/SoundSeedFinder/
if anyone ever needs it
not the prettiest code but its something i made to be used once in 5 years anyway

[tulip wedge]

sooo will newer 1.21.11 builds have adventure 5.0?

[prisma mason]

5.x.x is meant for 26.1 and forward

[tulip wedge]

thank god 🙏

[cloud vapor]

or possibly the release after that depending on how it's going

I mean it's looking like we're incredibly close to 26.1 dropping, giving devs a bit longer to get used to stuff isn't a bad thing, plus we've still got a few tasks left, plus I want to have a public paper pr with a jar for testing too

[barren wolf]

https://github.com/Owen1212055/mc-sound-seeds

although urs is prolly in better format hehe

[gray quarry]

https://docs.papermc.io/adventure/tablist/ is there any chance of adventure having scoreboard/sidebar support? or would that just not be viable or possible due to it needing manipulation of teams which could cause issue plugins and such

[obtuse ruin]

some years ago i did something with packets and components in scoreboards. but idk if theres a better way nowerdays

[runic onyx]

what are you trying to accomplish, always better to do stuff directly on the backend

[cloud vapor]

i mean no, it really isn't "always better"

[cloud vapor]

it's not on our to-do list yeah, teams make it very tricky and there's already many decent libraries out there and such

[serene hare]

When will we have component newline splitting in Adventure? 😭 😭

[wet kestrel]

What are you trying to do that requires it? Only common use case i run into is lore, but that's easier a list in config anyway.

[hoary plume]

Would there be any way for MiniMessage to support the properties feature in a Player object component?
Because being limited to name, UUID or texture path is... well... limiting.

[cloud vapor]

It's on the to-do list

[serene hare]

Yes, I'm doing item lore. I'm using a .properties file that doesn't allow arrays, and would like to avoid having a key per lore line.

[cloud vapor]

Key per lore line is fine and really easy to do and very user friendly

just write a little util function that iterates through all existing "my.key.N" where N is any number

[serene hare]

What if I want to have a blank line?

[cloud vapor]

..then have a blank line?

[wet kestrel]

Certainly more readable than something with embedded line break symbols/tags. 😃

[cloud vapor]

it's how i do it, and it's really nice, easily lets you visualise how the lore is split up without having to rely on other tools or copying and pasting elsewhere, also let's you be really deliberate about styles so you don't get caught up in any traps

[serene hare]

like this?

my.lore.key.1 = hello
my.lore.key.2 =
my.lore.key.3 = world

[cloud vapor]

yeah

[serene hare]

I don't really like the key hanging like that

[cloud vapor]

i have even considered something that does it for you to the minimessage translation system, something like Component.translatable("my.key", Argument.multiline()) that would just run through all applicable keys and join them at the end

[cloud vapor]

you can make a <blank> placeholder or smth if you really hate it, but it's fine

[serene hare]

Ok, thanks, I'll see with what I'll come up.

[gray quarry]

thanks for the response just wondering

cause adventure having tab kind of feels weird for it not to have sidebar

cause they kind of just go together if you have tab you have sidebar

[rich widget]

Hey! Is the webui working?

[sterile star]

It's working perfectly fine for me, yeah https://webui.advntr.dev

[rich widget]

Not loading at all for me, neither pc or phone

Is it happening to somebody else?

[boreal orchid]

seems to be fine for me

[sterile rampart]

fine for me too

[fathom mulch]

how can i get the length of a component?

[boreal orchid]

hard to answer

component length ultimately couldn't be measured if you have to include things that depend on the client such as translatables

if you only account for text components, then you can just iterate the tree and sum up the length of every text component

[fathom mulch]

it's probably better if i calculate the length before adding styling then

[boreal orchid]

what do you need the length for

[fathom mulch]

just trying to add x amount of characters to fill space and have a bunch of strings of the same pixel length

[boreal orchid]

I mean, that only really works with the assumption that the client hasn't changed the default font with a resource pack

[fathom mulch]

in my case i can assume that

[fathom mulch]

thank you anyway!

doing it beforehand is paying off

[ocean agate]

how can I replace a matched component with defined color? replaceText only accepts string

Like I have a component like this, I only want to replace the yellow player name, not the orange player name in the hover text

[ocean agate]

That's not a xy, I want to replace a component in a component

[sterile star]

Sure, but why do you have it as a component in the first place. Why not just, if you are, for example, using MiniMessage, make it be replaced correctly initially already

[ocean agate]

That's what I get from other plugins, I can't have the original form of the component

[wet kestrel]

third party plugin doing the other part?

[cloud vapor]

and what are you replacing it with

[ocean agate]

Another component?

[sterile star]

What's the content of that component

[wet kestrel]

^

[ocean agate]

Like replace the yellow player name with green one

[ocean agate]

Don't know what that means

Just want to know if it's possible to replace a component inside a component, if not I'll just use replaceText to replace all matched text in a component

[boreal orchid]

for this specific case, you can just set the TextReplacementConfig to not replace inside hover events

[wet kestrel]

I'm asking if you control both plugins involved here, since that component is clearly coming from outside the plugin you're currently coding.

[boreal orchid]

but in general, you'd probably have to use the condition method in order to index the one with a specific color or something, you can't match a Component exactly with replaceText. At best you could iterate the component to find the one you want but it gets annoying given you'd essentially duplicate the replaceText logic

[noble grove]

Might be in the wrong place to ask this, but with the sprite tag, is there a way to get a blocks texture?

but instead of it just being the flat texture, its the item model view of it

[sweet hornet]

No

[boreal orchid]

you could probably do that if you were to play around with shaders and a resource pack, but it will be quite hacky and messy

[noble grove]

gotchaaa, thanks yall!

[noble grove]

Another thing, can you nest a gradient within a text shadow key?

[cloud vapor]

i dont see why not

[pastel berry]

Im making a Minecraft Plugin and I saw this Scoreboard/Sidebar Icon Style (The Golden Apple and the Gold Block) the Server doesn't use a Texture Pack or a Mod to show this icons in the Scoreboard/Sidebar, if anyone knows how I can do to make the icons to show like that I would appreciate a lot 🙂

[sweet hornet]

Sprite component

[cloud vapor]

more specifically, object component with a sprite object

[pastel berry]

How do i add it to my plugin?

[cloud vapor]

what platform?

paper, velocity, spigot, bungeecord, minestom, fabric, forge, sponge, etc, etc, etc

[pastel berry]

Paper

[cloud vapor]

adventure is included by default

[fiery oracle]

https://jd.advntr.dev/api/4.26.1/net/kyori/adventure/text/ObjectComponent.html#contents(net.kyori.adventure.text.object.ObjectContents)
https://jd.advntr.dev/api/4.26.1/net/kyori/adventure/text/object/ObjectContents.html#sprite(net.kyori.adventure.key.Key,net.kyori.adventure.key.Key)

[inner nest]

Should we sign message for tell command?

and is it really possible to sign a command argument?

[boreal orchid]

There’s the ArgumentTypes::signedMessage

[fiery oracle]

(assuming your platform is paper)

[boreal orchid]

Yeah, though that has more to do with brigadier than with Adventure which I believe doesn’t deal with messages/signed messages

[fiery oracle]

there is https://jd.advntr.dev/api/4.26.1/net/kyori/adventure/chat/SignedMessage.html, but yea any brigadier stuff wouldn't really be related to adventure

[inner nest]

Thank you, yes platform is paper, i am mostly asking if it makes sense to sign player messages of /tell command.
Also, lets assume I do not use brigadier, is there a way to sign the message?

[cloud vapor]

no

[inner nest]

Thanks, so in conclusion, it does not really make sense to sign the message of /tell ?

[rare sage]

i would argue that it does, however if the command framework that you are using doesn't support such argument kind, you don't really have a lot of options

[cloud vapor]

yep, you should be signing any player text

[elder forge]

What fonts exist on MiniMessage?
https://docs.papermc.io/adventure/minimessage/format/#font

[cloud vapor]

Whatever fonts the client knows about

[elder forge]

How do I check it

[cloud vapor]

some are built in by default, resource packs can add any https://minecraft.wiki/w/Font#Java_Edition

[elder forge]

Thanks

[gray quarry]

is it possible to do something like make a blank player head sprite and do like "<red><sprite>" and it'll color the sprite red?

or just like set texture of a player head sprite to an image I haven't figured out how to exactly do that

[restive spruce]

you might wanna use one of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_Shapes_(Unicode_block) for stuff like that

[gray quarry]

yeah thats what I am currently using but using heads makes a cool thing where for the head next to it theres no gap

[sweet hornet]

Yes you can

[gray quarry]

what

[sweet hornet]

You can actually recolor any sprite

[gray quarry]

how do I do it

[sweet hornet]

Just put the color in front, like you wrote

[gray quarry]

but if I did eg skull:OwlBe my skull would be a skull of an owl so what it would just turn red?

or have like a red overlay?

[sweet hornet]

Yes

[gray quarry]

hm let me test it

[sweet hornet]

If you take a completely white head (I’m sure there’s a lot on head database for example), it’ll be fully colored

[drifting cypress]

Hi, does anyone here happen to know how I can do this? (No resource pack or other texture-related items are used.)

Here is a record from SniffCraft: https://pastebin.com/n3T9PBxk

[cloud vapor]

you can see the json, it's all player objects

[drifting cypress]

Yes, but how do you create it?

[cloud vapor]

Upload a load of skins, use the object component with a player object

[sweet hornet]

You can use for example mineskin.org to upload the skins and get the textures url

[drifting cypress]

Yes, but how do I convert it to MOTD?

[boreal orchid]

using object components

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Text_component_format#Player_Object_Type

[inner nest]

Could it cause, like with chat, player being kicked?

[cloud vapor]

yes

[inner nest]

Thank you, that is what Im mostly worried about, since it is not very stable and sometimes player get kicked

[kindred forge]

Is there any possibility to "overwrite" the locale of an player?

[arctic drum]

Hi, I have a rather annoying bug.

For context, I want to implement my translation system using resource packs, so that translations appear in dialogs and item stacks. I've put all my keys in a resource bundle called langs, and in my .properties file, I've set the messages to MiniMessage to ensure optimal readability and color coding.
(This is a personal choice; there are simpler alternatives, yes.)
For example: command.fun.playtime.success=You have <light_purple>%s</light_purple> of playtime.

The problem is that the in-game colors don't display when there's an argument, whether in commands, menus, or dialogs.

Example output in the resource pack:
"command.fun.playtime.success": "You have §d%s§r of playtime."

So I did some research, and I think I might have found the original bug.

When I send a message with my plugin: MessagesManager.sendMessage(player, Component.translatable("command.fun.playtime.success", TranslationManager.getFallbackTranslation("command.fun.playtime.success"), Component.text(DateUtils.convertTime(timePlayed)).color(NamedTextColor.LIGHT_PURPLE)), Prefix.OPENMC, MessageType.INFO, true);
and by setting the color I want for my argument, it works.

However, I'd like to avoid hardcoding the argument's color in the code.

My guess is that Adventure might be setting the default color to white for the argument since my component that contains it was simply Component.text(DateUtils.convertTime(timePlayed)).

Am I wrong? Is this an adventure bug? Or am I just missing something?

[cloud vapor]

there's an open issue to add this as a feature but it's not got in yet

[cloud vapor]

colors in arguments work totally fine, adventure doesn't touch arguments for translatables other then just sending them over

wouldn't be surprised if something is breaking with your legacy text formatting

[sand drift]

legacy text is generally not consistent in how it "bleeds over", so that is pretty much going to be the issue; unless adventure was actually producing an improper component, this is 100% on the client

[runic onyx]

What platform are you using?

[arctic drum]

    private static final MiniMessage MINI = MiniMessage.miniMessage();
    private static final LegacyComponentSerializer LEGACY = LegacyComponentSerializer.legacySection();

    public static String toLegacy(String miniMessage) {
        return LEGACY.serialize(MINI.deserialize(miniMessage));
    }
}```
I simply use adventure's methods.

[cloud vapor]

I'll just reiterate that I wouldn't be surpised if it was an issue with legacy text formatting

[arctic drum]

So what can I do in this case?

[rare sage]

if you are going to work with resource packs, then you should do it the way vanilla does translations: translation strings are plain strings, if you want styling you need to style the argument, e.g. "command.fun.playtime.success": "You have %s of playtime." -> Component.translatable("command.fun.playtime.success", Component.text("one thousand hours", NamedTextColor.LIGHT_PURPLE))

[arctic drum]

Yeah, but that's precisely why I want to avoid hardcoding the argument's color in the code.

[rare sage]

that is just how the game works

translation strings are plain text strings, the styling goes onto the rich components

legacy style formatting is going to be removed one day and that ugly hack will stop working eventually

and it clearly is not working very well right now either

that's just how resource pack translations are done

[cloud vapor]

id consider just not using resource pack translations

[rare sage]

server-sided translations don't have that limitation because they don't use the vanilla translation mechanism at all, it's a totally different system

[rare sage]

unfortunately that is the only solution for translations on itemstacks and dialogs

[arctic drum]

🫠

[cloud vapor]

i mean you can translate everything yourself for dialogs and item stacks can have similar workarounds

[rare sage]

it becomes a huge pain to manage itemstacks tho

if they are transient it's whatever

but if they are persistent items that you can move around etc

good luck

[arctic drum]

Okay, I'll just add color to the argument. One problem solved, 10 found, as they say xD

[arctic drum]

Maybe Minecraft will do something about that

[rare sage]

i mean, they did, it's called resource pack translations

this is not a minecraft problem, this is a problem inherent to the system being abused here

[arctic drum]

yeah

[rugged leaf]

Very stupid idea, but couldn't you technically split up the translation system to have both server side and client sided translations. Server side translation does coloration + other non text stuff, and client sided translation does text.

I think that assumes a bit too much on language patterns though

[random latch]

hey i'm curious if this is a supported pattern or something i can hack in:

i run 1.8.9 😰 (for shame, for shame; i know) [this issue happens to any version below 1.19.3, i think to broaden the scope beyond 1.8] and one persistent annoyance is not being able to play sounds at a consistent volume to a player that can move
-# (because if the player can move, they can move away from the sound source and thanks to the linear attenuation it gets quieter)

inspecting the source; i found that the way the sound falls off is a sound is at its quietest 16v (where v is the volume in [1..∞] [oversimplification]) blocks away.

using this fact if i play the sound hundreds of thousands of blocks (k) away in the sky i can set a "desired volume" anywhere from [0..1) to make it so that even if the player moves a ton the volume will barely change by nature of the gradient being thousands of blocks long.

you can compute the actual volume from the desired volume like so:

private const val k = 100_000f
private const val r = 16f
private const val maxVolume = 0.9999f

// yields the correct volume should the source be distance blocks away
private fun computeVolume(desiredVolume: Float, dist: Float = k) =
    dist / (r * (1f - desiredVolume.coerceIn(0f, maxVolume)))

-# (recall that i bound the desired volume to [0..1) because to play at 1 volume the sound needs to be AT the player but if i play the sound AT the player the issue is that when the player changes YAW the sound's "direction" sounds wrong)

what i need help with doing is making it work on a specific audience. it's on a 1.8.9 paper (fork) server and as such i assume the logic is in adventure-platform/platform-bukkit.

1. is there a way to achieve this without custom dep + shade (aside from helper method)
2. is there a way to modify existing plugins like (namely pgm) to support this (i.e. instrument playSound with just sound and audience param)

any help would be appreciated <3

[cloud vapor]

read https://docs.papermc.io/adventure/sound/#playing-a-sound

As documented in MC-146721, any stereo sounds will not play at a specific position or following an entity, therefore, the location or emitter parameters will be ignored.

use stereo if you want it consistent everywhere

[random latch]

i can't just change sounds on my players' clients to make them stereo and also i want to generalize being able to play 'locationless' to all vanilla minecraft sounds, so i'm afraid (from what i can glean) this isn't super helpful for me without a custom pack 😦

[cloud vapor]

well then there's not much i can say other than you will just have to play it very loud and far away ig

[random latch]

yeah; that's what i wrote about, but the question i have is about whether there's a way to make adventure 'do the work' for me through some api where i can change the behavior of the sound playing or if i have to just fork and custom dep + shade it. for all intents and purposes just imagine my post says "say i want to make every sound sent to my audience play x blocks away relative to the player at a huge volume"

[cloud vapor]

you will have to just do this yourself, we won't have any api to modify every sound that is played

whether you do that via a fork or in a util method or w/e is up to you

[random latch]

i'm looking at the say pgm in particular handles its audiences, is it perhaps possible through a forwardingaudience.single or similar? is there some idiom to downcast/convert one of these audiences to a Player to get its position and whatnot and override the playSound method (forgive my lack of knowledge about audiences and adventure in general, i'm learning)

[cloud vapor]

yeah you could wrap an audience in another audience that modifies the sounds played to it

how you get the underlying player would depend on the implementation of the audience

you'd likely want to cast and then do something

[random latch]

thanks! it looks like this was the solve. i'm not sure if it's good but it looks like this for now. looked at the docs and pointers ended up being super useful in this case!

[cloud vapor]

very nice!

[wispy folio]

how can I convert strings that contain legacy colors to adventure e.g. "&5hello"

[sterile rampart]

LegacyComponentSerializer

[wispy folio]

https://jd.advntr.dev/

which should I look into 😨

[sour totem]

text serializer legacy

[wispy folio]

https://jd.advntr.dev/text-serializer-legacy/4.26.1/net/kyori/adventure/text/serializer/legacy/LegacyComponentSerializer.html

thx!

[kindred forge]

Why is adventure making out of "<white>[gradient:#e83920:#ffe5ddBedWars<white>]" the following using LegacyComponentSerializer

"§f[§x§e§8§3§9§2§0B§x§e§b§5§2§3§be§x§e§f§6§a§5§6d§x§f§2§8§3§7§1W§x§f§5§9§b§8§ca§x§f§8§b§4§a§7r§x§f§c§c§c§c§2s§f]"
Where the f*ck is "§x" coming from?

[green monolith]

The §x is to indicate the start of a legacy hex color

[kindred forge]

Ahhh okay, then it makes sense 😄

ty

[green monolith]

No problem

[robust wharf]

Where the f*ck is "§x" coming from?
questions you need to ask md_5, lmao

[kindred forge]

wasn't an front against you guys 😄

[sweet hornet]

It's not adventure's team who made such decision about legacy formatting of hex colors, don't worry you offended nobody here x)

[jaunty cradle]

Is there a way in adventure from Bukkit Material to component sprite ? (smth like : Component.object(ObjectContents.sprite(Material.DIRT)))

[cloud vapor]

Nope, I'm not sure we even could add one - I'm not aware of a clean mapping to a sprite like that

[jaunty cradle]

ok, so i need to have own mapping of material to sprite :(

[sweet hornet]

Actually, I've done one 👀 https://github.com/indyteo/MaterialSpritesGenerator

[cloud vapor]

if these can be generated at runtime im 100% okay with a SpriteLike interface being added

[sweet hornet]

Unfortunately not really (well, for a fixed version Minecraft yes, but not for any version), essentially I made a rule-based engine that do simple string manipulation processing on each material's name then checks for the existence of a sprite in the vanilla atlases (statically exported to files from client-side), then I wrote a set of rules that works for most materials, and finally I added "overwrite" rules for special cases where no 1:1 sprite mapping was possible, sometimes even relying on a custom player head because no texture was available as a sprite (for example, chests)

[cloud vapor]

So not possible without the client right

bc fixed version is fine for platforms like paper

[sweet hornet]

So currently it covers every materials of MC 1.21.11, but if new materials are added in next version, they may not be matched by any rule for example

[jaunty cradle]

wait so sprites keys are not consistent acros versions ?

[sweet hornet]

This is why I designed it that way, it's just a tools that generates the mappings for a given version (which depend on the atlases and rules you give him)

[sweet hornet]

They split the blocks atlas into blocks & items, so for example every sprite corresponding to an item changed key at that moment yes

[jaunty cradle]

damn mojang...

[sweet hornet]

The main missing part would be to know the atlases, which are derived from client-side resource pack yeah :/

Also, any resource pack could technically change the textures, and thus bring new sprites to atlases, but custom items are not really covered by my project

[obtuse ruin]

i have this translation

command.online = <prefix><gray>The server <gold><server> <gray>is currently <status:'false#<red>offline|true#<green>online'><gray>.

and im sendig it to a player with this

source.sendMessage(translatable("command.online").arguments(
        Argument.component("server", text(requested.getServerInfo().getName())),
        Argument.tagResolver(Formatter.booleanChoice("status", throwable != null || ping == null))
));

prefix and server are parsed correctly but the status choice is not beeing evaluated. how can i do this inside a translatble component

[dense veldt]

That's not the tag format of Formatter#booleanChoice: https://jd.advntr.dev/text-minimessage/4.26.1/net/kyori/adventure/text/minimessage/tag/resolver/Formatter.html#booleanChoice(java.lang.String,boolean)

[boreal orchid]

boolean choice should just be <status:'<green>online':'<red>offline'>

[obtuse ruin]

well yea im dumb thanks

[smoky wadi]

I've been looking around some conversations here, and it seems like
<head:{base64 texture}>
is not yet supported, right?

But the docs do document it as a thing.

Am I doing something wring?

Clearing up that would be much appreciated 🙂

Unless I'm confused as to texture meaning from the texturepack rather than what vanilla json defines as texture (the base64 string)

[cloud vapor]

Yes it means from the texture pack

[smoky wadi]

Thanks!

[boreal orchid]

here's a custom tag resolver for a <head_texture:texture_url> tag #adventure-help message

[fervent grail]

if its the same as player head so i should be able to use skin texture

not the base64 but the mineskin generated skin value

[plain glade]

The component works with it but Minimessage doesn't yet support that. If I remember the support for this is waiting for named parameters first https://github.com/PaperMC/adventure/pull/1304

[sweet hornet]

In case you really need it without waiting for that, you can still make your own tag for it, like I showed here

[swift jetty]

What's the proper way to Plain/Legacy .serialize(Component) using specific locale? Seeing there is no .serialize(Component, Pointered) method

Should I render the TranslatableComponents before serializing them or..?

[robust wharf]

The server only has the english locale available anyways, right?

[cloud vapor]

yep

[steel pulsar]

Howcome when I use tag resolvers to resolve coordinate, it only resolevs one and not the other for this?

<click:copy_to_clipboard:'<coordinates>'>You are at <coordinates>

[wet kestrel]

Is the one it resolves the second one? I am going to speculate that you are using the wrong Tag type. Placeholder.parsed is the type you want. I think the tag type it gives is preprocess? I forget - go check the code if you're not just using the Placeholder class for it.

[steel pulsar]

Yea the second one is resolved only

Oh well

I guess the tag resolver I'm using is my own that I made

because it resolves locations

    public static String formatLocation(Location location) {
        return String.format("(%.1f, %.1f, %.1f, %s)", location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ(), location.getWorld().getName());
    }

    public static TagResolver placeholder(@TagPattern String key, Location location) {
        return TagResolver.resolver(key, (arguments, context) -> {
            return Tag.inserting(context.deserialize(formatLocation(location)));
        });

You can reoslve whatever you want - just can't be an inserting tag you use there if you want the same tag in both spots.

Alternative option, you could make a <clipcoord> tag that functions the same as the entire click you put in there, to make it more readable and harder for the user to mess up

can adventure serialize to tellraw format?

oh looks like gson serializer is what does it

Hello, I want to get half of the width of a Component and thats why I need all texts from a component with the font and the decorations. How can I get that?

[sage river]

you could use Component#iterator (or #iterable if you want a nice for each loop) and check for TextComponents

you can't really support other component types tho

however idk if the iterator includes the component itself or just the children

[plain glade]

You can do something like

int width = 0;
Component base = /*some component"/;
for (Component comp : base.iterable(ComponentIteratorType.DEPTH_FIRST)) {
    if (comp instanceof TextComponent text) {
         width += getWidth(text.content());
   } // Maybe handling other types here in else ifs
}

alright, thanks

I haven't used it yet, but supposedly https://github.com/KingOfSquares/pixel-width does what you need.

why is examination being removed from adventure in 5.0.0?

[cloud vapor]

not really needed anymore

records do a lot of that for you

[noble light]

fair enough

Hey guys, does anyone have a clue how Cytooxien renders its Chat-Heads/Player-Heads ?

[tawny bolt]

there is head component. Minimessage <head> or Component#object with a playerHead

[shadow wyvern]

can I somehow do dynamic replacements in a my MiniMessageTranslator, because I'd like to pass dates in Component#translatable

[cloud vapor]

Yeah you can do entirely custom tag resolvers

See the Argument class

Is there a simple way to remove all HoverEvents from a Component and its children?

I'm asking because I'm using pixel-width to try to roll my own left-pad logic, but I think pixel-width has a bug where HoverEvents get included in a Component's width calculations.

[runic onyx]

I think you could use a ComponentFlattener for that

[sour totem]

you think it does or you've confirmed it does? i happen to have been using that lib for a while and never noticed weird width calculations

[raven crag]

I think it does but I'm also slowly going crazy trying to convert this random component wordwrapper I found to support pixel-width so I'm not sure what exactly is the problem.

[raven crag]

Figured it out. Object components' size gets significantly overestimated. I assumed that if they were unsupported they'd be considered as if their width is zero, but I think it might be seeing the player head object component as [unknown player head] and using that to calculate their width.

[sweet hornet]

Actually object components are rather simple to estimate the size of, since there always are 8 pixels wide

[raven crag]

Yep, I'm writing that part now.

[boreal orchid]

I guess only time that changes is when the fallback is used now

but there's no API for that yet so a problem for the future

[raven crag]

For maximum backwards compatibility the fallback should have been ∅, which minecraft renders as 8 pixels wide.

For those at home searching chat history, here's the hack solution:

        val widthSource =
            PixelWidthSource.pixelWidth(
                ComponentFlattener.builder()
                    .mapper(KeybindComponent::class.java) { component: KeybindComponent -> component.keybind() }
                    .mapper(ScoreComponent::class.java) { component: ScoreComponent -> component.value() ?: "" }
                    .mapper(SelectorComponent::class.java) { obj: SelectorComponent -> obj.pattern() }
                    .mapper(TextComponent::class.java) { obj: TextComponent -> obj.content() }
                    .mapper(TranslatableComponent::class.java) { component: TranslatableComponent -> component.fallback() ?: component.key() }
                    .mapper(ObjectComponent::class.java) { component: ObjectComponent -> "∅" }
                    .build())
