actually I need beta minecraft support because I have a player that will only play beta

the server needs to support nms too so I can have my plugin

but please don't include mojang code

Yes, my paper forge hybrid can't have any Mojang or forge code but must work with all forge mods and all clients between 1.1 and 1.15

Tech Support: "How much RAM do you have in the computer?"

Customer: "32 megs."

Tech Support: "Are you using any RAM doubling software?"

Customer: "Yes."

Tech Support: "So you have 16 megs of actual, physical RAM?"

Customer: "No. I have 8 megs. I installed [a RAM expanding product], and that gave me 16. I liked it so much I went out and got [another RAM expanding product]. So now I have 32."

Im curious, with the audio and cam backdoor OS that runs when the user turns the phone off, did the backdoor coders remember to truly turn off the unit once the spying service runs the battery too low, or does the unit just start on fire?
Bet you they forgot about that little diddy.

Customer: "Well, I bought some memory from you people, and ever since I installed it into my computer, it's been doing nothing but making grinding noises, and nothing works anymore!"

Tech Support: "Grinding noises?? It shouldn't be doing that!"

Customer: "I know that! That's why you people owe me a new computer, and I'm going to charge you for lost downtime and my inconvenience."

Grinding noises from SIMMs? This was a new one.

Tech Support: "Sir, did you install those chips yourself or did someone do it for you?"

Customer: "I'm not an idiot! I did it myself. I put them right in that slot in the front of the computer, smart aleck."

Customer: "I had an important document that was password protected, and I can't get in it. I don't know the password."

Tech Support: "Ok, we do have a program the get passwords from Word documents. Can you email me the document?"

Customer: "No, it is very sensitive. That's why it was password protected. I won't even keep the file on the server. I keep it secure on a floppy."

Tech Support: "It would be much safer if you kept it on the server. Floppies are easily corrupted. At least on the server it would be backed up each night."

Customer: "That is exactly what I don't want to happen. For legal reasons, I don't want any copies of this file. I want you to come down here and get the password for me."

Tech Support: "I'm not in the same office as you are, so I'll need to send someone there to your desk to help you out."

Customer: "Have them call ahead first so I can get security here when they are work with the file."

Tech Support: "Security? Sir, We sign a non-disclosure agreement, so that won't be necessary."

Customer: "Yes, it will be necessary! This is a very important and sensitive document, and we don't want anyone touching it without some security."

Tech Support: "Ok, that's fine. I'll let them know to bring the password software so they can get the password you forgot."

Customer: "I didn't forget it!"

Tech Support: "Excuse me?"

Customer: "I didn't have to remember it."

Tech Support: "What do you mean?"

So about my crashing problem, since I thought some people may want a follow up. And it might help others having the same issue as me... After updating W10 I started getting crashes that to me seemed almost random but seemed to happen much more frequently when trying to launch Minecraft. I've updated Java but my problem still didn't get resolved although the frequency of crashes did decrease then I checked the Reliability Monitor and found that my computer was crashing after HPAudioSwitch was crashing and attempting to start back up... So I simply uninstalled it along with some other HP software listed here... https://www.coolblue.nl/en/advice/hp-laptop-remove-bloatware.html

And... so far so good no crashes! Hopefully this helps some people. 🙂

How does the confirmation system works, can be simple as a hasmap with user UUID and a String being the code?

void void
#

am i missin some context

grizzled hearth
#

Just general systems like whats app confirmation code sent by SMS

void void
#

if it needs to last longer than the current runtime you would use a persistent storage such as db, maybe redis

grizzled hearth
#

Yeah, but is as "simple" as that?

#

yes why wouldn't it be

void void
#

god damn it city

grizzled hearth
#

ty simple

#

idk, sometimes i think: "Its too easy to be real" xd

#

I just doubt

void void
#

i mean if you're talking two-factor auth like authy or google authenticator then it gets a bit more hairy because that's not a simple confirmation code (out of band auth), it's otp (one time password) for which there are some algorithms available that are used. THAT doesn't require a db because it's using math to generate the currently available code and both systems can come to agreement on that solely through math as opposed to a stored code waiting to be validated

#

but yeah, a basic confirmation system that is just like "we texted/emailed you a code, pls enter" is easy

#
  • generate
  • store
  • send to user
  • user enters
  • check db
  • matches?
    • yes: ok good
    • no: bad

why the fuck would you slow cook spaghetti

because we didn't have a pot, but had a slow cooker

we slow cooked it because our pot was full of moldy food, then left it in the cooker cause we failed... which then rotted. about 3 months later (today) we threw both out

What is the best mob stacker plugin and best mob stacker configuration? By mob stacker configuration I mean, how to auto clear stacked mobs, with clear lag or what? Using some of mob stacker plugins, make mob spawn in that way that they can't despawn after chunk unloading. Suggestions?

strong glen
#

@quartz haven
UltimateStacker

proud lance
#

If you want to clear mobs just do /minecraft:kill @e[type=<mob name>,distance=1..100] when you are near the offending mobs

#

I feel like clearlagg is trash personally and commands exist to remove entities

golden gust
#

mob stackers create their own performance issues

#

You're tryna stack mobs because your server can't handle that many mobs, so your fix is to literally keep the server in a spin cycle of spawning/killing entities

proud lance
#

isn't it the same situation with farm limiters as well?

golden gust
#

Not entirely

#

farm limiters are still not ideal, but there isn't really a built in mechanism which deals with too many of them

#

using a farm limiter + reducing natural spawn limits is my recommendation to mob counts

proud lance
#

well lets assume you have a mob farm, they spawn, come together, farm limiter kills in bulk, a mob stacker combines them into one, isn't the number of entities basically the same, in both situations, they still have the spawn, kill/merge cycle?

#

If that question makes any sense

golden gust
#

Paper offers an event which can actually remove the spawn of the entities for mob spawners, etc

#

Might also be a prespawn event for natural mob spawns too actually, not too sure there, but many plugins don't use them, meaning that when you're not using plugins optimized for paper, you're stuck in that cycle

#

It's a case of tackling each issue suitably instead of tryna throw an unoptimized "catch-all" fix which creates it's own issues in the majority of cases

strong glen
#

Know some economy plugin that ignores the vault economy and creates a new?

golden gust
#

You probably want something like a points plugin

#

Any sane eco plugin actually designed to be used as eco worth it's salt will hook into vault

proud lance
#

Well I know paper can control the spawns, but I am still not understanding how lets say you have 6 cows in a pen, you can use a farm limiter to say reduce them to 4, or use a mob stacker and have 1 with a label of x6 cows. With a farm limiter you have 4 cow entities, with a mob stacker you have 1 cow entity thats "technically" 6?

golden gust
#

You seperate the issues up

#

Too many mobs is a sign of two issues:

  1. Your natural spawn limits are too high causing too many natural mobs to spawn
  2. Your players are going crazy with mob farms
#

You address 1 by tweaking the limits so that your server doesn't try to spawn too many so you can avoid the whole "having too many natural mobs"

#

2 can't be addressed with a natural limit, given the nature of how they work, using a plugin there to limit the spawns makes sense given the fact that the server doesn't really offer you any control over that

And it runs linux, cause I heard Minecraft servers run way better on there.

#

lol I tried my best to describe it

jagged egret
#

it is a Linux distro, yes

narrow timber
#

Cool, may look into moving my server that I'm setting up on my computer now into there and see if it runs better

#

And the good part is, it's free

#

I like that...

jagged egret
#

Yeah it's awesome

#

Also drivers can be tricky sometimes. It has it's own drivers for a lot of everything, but the ones released by the manufacturer are often better

#

(see nVidia cards)

narrow timber
#

Yeah, my computer has NVidia drivers

jagged egret
#

The official ones are closed-source which is why they don't include them, IIRC

narrow timber
#

Now is it possible that I can just take my server files from my computer and transfer them to ubuntu and run the server from there, or is there extra stuff that I have to do to get it working?

jagged egret
#

That'd likely work. Might have to fiddle around with line endings on the files or anything but probably not

#

You'd have to install Java too

#

(on Ubuntu), but that's fairly obvs

narrow timber
#

Okay, sounds good

#

Yeah cause assuming nothing is linked (such as Java) from your computer to Ubuntu

#

Bukkit’s config API is such an infuriating thing to work with.

jagged egret
#

So don't

austere ivy
#

I think we’d all be better off if it was made much more generic, instead of getConfig and saveDefaultConfig all leading to “config.yml” it would have parameters for the file name you want instead. Slightly more code because in your main class or configmanager or whatever you’d have to have a getter class per config instead of just getConfig, it’d be far superior to what we have right now.

jagged egret
#

Having it do other file names is not difficult....

austere ivy
#

It’s not difficult it’s just a mess and pain.

jagged egret
#

it's a bit more than #getConfig and #saveDefaultConfig but it's not even that bad

#

like you just do FileConfiguration config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(File)

austere ivy
#

Yeah I’m just saying in it’s current form it’s not really prepared for the fact that modern plugins have more than just “config.yml”

jagged egret
#

Hm. Agree to disagree

#

it's prepared for it, it can handle it just fine

austere ivy
#

It could be easily improved by having getConfig mean getConfig(“config.yml”) and letting that work for legacy reasons but allowing you to getConfig(“data.yml”) and whatnot

jagged egret
#

you could always PR a change if you wanted but I don't personally see a need

austere ivy
#

I suppose I just need to learn to work with files more

jagged egret
#

Don't forget Plugin#saveResource is a thing too

errant echo
#

Don't forget Plugin#saveResource is a thing too

#

it is???

austere ivy
#

I still think it could be improved by making everything go through JavaPlugins current “API” for it, with getConfig having file parameters and whatnot but I see your point

jagged egret
#

Once you get to anything advanced with the config system the API is limited, it's just a matter of deciding where to draw the line as far as features goes, I think. There are always more complex APIs available, and we don't want to make something too weighty to maintain

austere ivy
#

It's not really advanced, here's more of what I mean.

jagged egret
#

No I know

#

but there's a spectrum of basic to advanced, the line has to be drawn somewhere

austere ivy
#

I'm not saying that the API isn't capable of doing something, I'm just saying you have to jump through some hoops to do what you need to do..

#

I get that yeah yeah.

#

When I was saying before about the API not really understanding that in modern days, people usually have multiple configs and not just config.yml, I didn't mean that it wasn't possible with the API, it definitely is, I just think that it could be ever so slightly altered so that the amount of change for one to multiple configs isn't as drastic.

#

I mean say you're a new plugin developer, you're trying to let people customize your plugins. You learn about getConfig() and saveDefaultConfig() and you're trying to learn about files and everything.

#

And then you're like, "hmm okay I want to have two configs, shouldn't be too hard right?" and then they just have to suddenly forget about all that and do it a different way.

#

I completely get what you're saying though.

jagged egret
#

I don't think it's even a modern thing, I think plugins have always had multiple configs. But another thing I just realized is the config methods are provided by the Plugin class, not the JavaPlugin class - implying that it could potentially be used for other languages. I could see the case that they wouldn't want to burden a script style plugin with dealing with that or something, but yeah I do agree a getConfig(String) would be convienient

austere ivy
#

I think that a lot of Bukkit is just the fact that it was developed when Minecraft was much younger and in a different time.

jagged egret
#

But yes I get your point, I just think it was done this way for a reason. (As I'm not the one who did it I don't know what it is haha.) PRs are always welcome :)

austere ivy
#

I wasn't there for the time but I can just imagine back in 2012-2013 when plugins were much more basic and Bukkit's API designers wanted newcomers to have an easy way to make a config.

#

At that time I can imagine getConfig() and saveDefaultConfig() being really easy to learn and use, but just in this later day, multiple configs are being used a lot more and it's harder for newcomers to learn how to manipulate configs with these more basic methods.

#

But I don't know haha I'm not an API designer.

#

As Joshua Bloch said, APIs are forever, so I get that we can't just overhaul the entire config system, so I really do believe that a nice compromise would be having getConfig() be an alias for getConfig("config.yml") and have all the "getConfig" behavior in getConfig(fileName)

jagged egret
#

Yeah that could certainly work

austere ivy
#

Legacy code would work fine then, and it's much easier to have multiple configs.

jagged egret
#

PR PR PR :P

austere ivy
#

Can you even PR to those core bukkit API parts?

jagged egret
#

Oh yea

#

They might have alternate suggestions upon review, but you can always PR

austere ivy
#

To Spigot?

jagged egret
#

To Paper

#

there are some horror stories/drama with PRing to Spigot

austere ivy
#

I don't think Paper would be OK with that, since their schtick is that if it works on Spigot it works on Paper.

jagged egret
#

There are a bunch of Paper specific API methods

austere ivy
#

Yeah but those are additions, not changes.

#

I mean if it's possible I'd be all for it haha, I just don't think it'd be allowed..

jagged egret
#

Well, your idea would be an additon too - you're adding a #getConfig(String)

#

like a plugin that would use Spigot's #getConfig would work fine, still, given #getConfig redirected to getConfig("config.yml") as you mentioned

austere ivy
#

Wouldn't other parts need changing though? I would think.

#

Legacy compatibility would be kept on the public methods but the internal implementation would be changed in a way that I don't think paper would work on spigot.

#

Well I suppose plugins built on paper already don't work on spigot.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

jagged egret
#

Just #getConfig(), #reloadConfig(), #saveConfig(), and #saveDefaultConfig(), all of which have no parameters so you could simply add a String parameter to that

#

The internal implementation should be irrelevant, that's one of the points of an API

austere ivy
#

You're right.

jagged egret
#

As long as the methods behave as expected, what the server does under the hood doesn't matter from the plugin perspective

austere ivy
#

I'd want someone who knows more than me to pitch in though because it can't be that easy, there has to be some reason that the config API hasn't been changed in this way.

#

I'm sure someone has to have thought of this before and I'm sure there has to have been a reason it wasn't implemented.

jagged egret
#

PRs go through a review process so it'll definitely be improved upon or reviewed accordingly

#

Might look at existing/previous PRs to see if there's one in there

can we delete irc

#

also the stats are clearly forged

limber knotBOT
#

you're forged

woven otter
#

no u r

limber knotBOT
#

uhm well actually this is paper not forge so duck you

#

more people would use IRC if the discord name would show that we are on irc :think_smart:

woven otter
#

ur right let's not mention forge

#

is there any good anti-xray plugins known for 1.14.4 besides papers antixray?

irc users stink

#

what do you need that paper's does not have?

limber knotBOT
#

no

quasi valley
#

ur just a stinky pineapple eitherway

heady spear

IRC users stink but it's not a problem because they never leave their moms' basements

is it me or does spigot get lots of bad gateway errors nowadays?

golden gust
#

It's had its moments

#

I recall last time the site was having major issues, md was like "no, it's not"

#

fwiw, was followed by this tweet a few hours later, however: https://twitter.com/Spigot_MC/status/1176801324026908674

We apologise for some server issues affecting the Spigot forums throughout the day. These issues have since been resolved.

There may however be some double posts caused by users resubmitting the same post multiple times. Please report these to have them removed.

you got any idea how many cheesburgers i have from the McDonald's monopoly thing? i wish i could get an Xbox...

golden gust
#

it shows

prime pawn
#

Yo

#

So I think it'd be cool if there were "map-update-ticks" and have it be configurable.

#

No, but what if someone wanted to make some kind of town and use custom textures for much of it?

#

Using images on maps

placid thicket
#

well you can have a frankly irresponsible amount of maps now

prime pawn
#

Yes but the render() method gets called every tick

golden gust
#

To my understanding, there are limits on how fast the client will actually accept updates

placid thicket
#

OR, you can lock the map and it will never change

golden gust
#

iirc, paper actually has a patch to reduce the calls to render for bukkit plugin renderers because of that

prime pawn
#

Well what I'm interested in doing anyway, is trying out animated maps, also using packets to make some maps per-player.

placid thicket
#

thats a different story, why didn't you lead with that?

prime pawn
#

Because I think having the value I mentioned in the yaml would be cool

placid thicket
#

i still don't exactly understand what you need it for

golden gust
#

if (!this.d && this.i % 5 != 0) { this.i++; return null; } // Paper - this won't end up sending, so don't render it!

prime pawn
#

Well anyway, I'm looking at removing the limitation for map IDs for now by basically making maps without IDs (which currently can be set in itemframes, they just don't render anything) and I'm currently making an abstract PacketPlayOutMap class .-.

golden gust
#

the map id is needed so the client knows what map to populate

placid thicket
#

why? the ID is so high now

golden gust
#

You'd basically just need to be a smartass and try to re-use IDs

prime pawn
#

xD that is my fallback plan

#

I use 1.8.8, versions before 1.13 still have the 32.something thousand map limit although using reusing maps would be 100x easier and faster to index I suppose

placid thicket
#

oh, so you are using an unsupported version. cant really help you then

#

i feel like on small screens that would be rather annoying

prime pawn
#

I'll look at using 1.15 if chunk loading isn't a nightmare xD

placid thicket
#

chunk loading isn't a nightmare... generation on the other hand...

#

in other words, if you pre-render your world. everything is fine

#

well of course not, there are always exceptions

golden gust
#

chunk loading itself is fine, gen kinda sucks but shouldn't generally be an issue

prime pawn
#

Well I didn't diagnose the lag to that extent, I just tested paper 1.14.4 on a 8gb ddr4 i7-700 ssd dedi only to lose like 0.2 TPS per chunk that generated then thought yeah screw this xD

golden gust
#

real implication is the chunk system blows performance across the board

prime pawn
#

well the dedi is 32gb but yeah allocated 8 lol

golden gust
#

I did some testing, 9k entities on the server (active & inactive) can easily take 2ms to determine if they should even tick or not

placid thicket
#

lower the server side render distance by 2 and that all goes away without hurting gameplay

#

(from default)

prime pawn
#

I wish Mojang would just not obfuscate nms -_-

placid thicket
#

well, i mean the newer versions have mappings which kinda helps...

#

they gave mappings, the command system and (soon) Blaze3D

prime pawn
#

Mojang developers: "How should I screw with the TPS this time? 😈 "

placid thicket
#

i just cant wait for 1.15 for arbitrary command data storage. so many things i can do with that

shell vine
#

how do u have transparent maps

#

oh derp

prime pawn
#

I do 😛 You can see right through them 😉 because.. they don't even render -_-

placid thicket
#

you can get transparent though by removing the back texture in a texturepack

prime pawn
#

Since itemframes are entities, do you think there's a way to spawn them without them having to be on a wall or within the parameters of a wall?

#

If so, it'd look better if you could just the itemframes into the perfect distance lol

placid thicket
#

barrier blocks are a thing, could use those

golden gust
#

You can prevent that with an event

prime pawn
#

^ I ended up getting a map to generate on an itemframe except the frame wasn't visible, it was when I was messing around with a few packets though

#

Hey yeah if you did it with packets there'd be no need to cancel the event lol

placid thicket
#

honestly, i really don't understand the reasons behind staying in 1.8

shell vine
#

wonder if you could make it render transparency based on the block its hanging on

woven otter
#

@heady spear ur thing is impossible. you can't make plotsquared great again

golden gust
#

Well, for one, "again" would imply that it ever was

woven otter
#

exactly

placid thicket
#

why do people insist 1.8 is the best version when newer versions give vanilla systems to make it the same as old versions?

heady spear
#

okay but mtm I'd care more if you had a single project that people actually use

golden gust
#
  1. People are dumb
#
  1. There are aspects which can't be reverted
shell vine
#

pvp and cannons

#

ez answer

golden gust
#

I kinda wish that sword blocking was still a thing

woven otter
#

city that's rude

#

that's bullying

placid thicket
#

the only thing that can't be reverted is sword blocking. which was hackish anyway

heady spear
#

yes it is

#

I hope you feel bullied

woven otter
#

ur a fuking bully

golden gust
#

movement was changed on the client

heady spear
#

and you're dumb israinbow2

placid thicket
#

if you use the gamerules to ignore insane velocities it comes back

golden gust
#

No

placid thicket
#

and you can still get away with a lot

golden gust
#

Mojang tweaked one of the movement speeds on the client, pretty sure it was the in air one orsomething like that

#

Basically, turns you into a sumo wrestler

placid thicket
#

when launched from a cannon? or when running about?

golden gust
#

When running about

prime pawn
#

whoospie

#

Just registered stone as a map

#

lmao

heady spear
#

what

placid thicket
#

never seen that change, know about when it happened?

golden gust
#

afaik it was in 1.9

#

It's basically one of those changes which some people likely won't notice or care about

#

But, if you're into fast paced PvP, it is a o.O thing

woven otter

#

max players at 20

#

ez fix

placid thicket
#

i have seen servers with higher than that running fine. issue usually seems to be hardware (and plugin load).

#

i would test it myself but don't have 200 clients (or probably the bandwidth)

prime pawn
#

Have you guys messed around with PacketPlayOutGameStateChange much?

#

Some notable features I guess is you can tell the client they're in adventure when they're in survival, preventing them from block glitching but still allowing them to place blocks/items if needed for a minigame let's say.

placid thicket
#

i know early 1.13 was bad, but 1.14 has been really stable for us. unless pillagers get involved

prime pawn
#

Another cool thing I guess is changing the sky color to purple/pink/gold/aqua etc

placid thicket
#

i have the hardware, but not the users to test it

#

could always come join mine instead 😘

#

#

cat, the only change i could find related to speed in combat was this one

Knockback no longer changes the Y-axis speed of flying and falling mobs.

whole warren
#

is there a build tools equivalent for paper?

prime pawn
#

Someone should try make a troll plugin where you can push itemframes with water, that'd be so funny to watch lol

#

just make it ride a silverfish or something and make it vanish

whole warren
#

can i just make a linux git script that copy's it from the paper site?

#

like only when i want it

placid thicket
#

paper builds itself on first run, you can download the latest by script then just start

prime pawn
#

You'll be on a holiday, some new dupe bug will be found, all of your players will be using it since it autoupdates to the latest version, you then get home and ask wtf happened ;o

golden gust
#

If you really wanna compile paper yourself, just use the scripts

#

(ref the readme)

#

Beyond that, there is an API for being able to download the server jars easily

whole warren
#

how do i get it?

golden gust
#

Using git

#

clone the repo, run the script

whole warren
#

ok thanks

#

so all it has to do i stop the server clone it delete the old one and replace it the start?

golden gust
#

if you just wanna update the server, download the jar from parchment

whole warren
#

i want a easy .bat file

golden gust
#

Building the server doesn't make the process any easier...

#

Heck, using the download API lets you just download the file from the server instead of tryna build it too

whole warren
#

ok

#

so clone from the api then replace?

golden gust
#

download from the api, but something like that

#

No idea how you'd download it from a bat file, pretty sure there is likely something on google for that

whole warren
#

you make the bat strt in git

golden gust
#

easier to just use a .sh file instead of bat files

whole warren
#

never done it on windows how do i do that?

#

do i just start it with git and itll run all the scripts on the file

green bronze
#

wget/curl both on windows or linux?

whole warren
#

since when are either of those cmds on windows

#

oh other than curl

#

my bad

green bronze
#

Well, maybe something you install had wget/curl

#

So

whole warren
#

oh im a fukin idiot

#

sorry

placid thicket
#

also you could use wls and just use linux commands

whole warren
#

hmm yeah

#

ive never used windows linux subsystem

#

how does it work

#

with all the different file stuff

placid thicket
#

couldn't tell you. havent had a chance (or reason) to get it working yet

whole warren
#

oh

#

so i could just do curl https://papermc.io/api/v1/paper/1.13.2/latest/download

#

i just ran that and wtf

#

in curl
