No Citizens API

[novel wedge]

I'm making a paper plugin and I'm using gradle

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        name = "papermc-repo"
        url = "https://repo.papermc.io/repository/maven-public/"
    }
    maven {
        name = 'citizens-repo'
        url = 'https://maven.citizensnpcs.co/repo'
    }
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly("io.papermc.paper:paper-api:1.21.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT")
    compileOnly('net.citizensnpcs:citizens-main:2.0.39-SNAPSHOT') {
        exclude group: '*', module: '*'
    }
}

Intellij recognizes the citizens api, and I'm using the same version on the server: Citizens-2.0.39-b3902.jar

I also added softdepend: [Citizens] to my paper-plugin.yml

Here's my code for trying to wait for Citizens to be enabled:

@EventHandler
    public void onCitizensEnable(CitizensEnableEvent event){
        handleNPCS();
    }
    public void handleNPCS(){
        if(!isLobby){
            return;
        }
        if (!getServer().getPluginManager().isPluginEnabled("Citizens")) {
            return;
        }
        NPC survivalNPC = CitizensAPI.getNPCRegistry().getById(21);
        if(survivalNPC == null){
            getLogger().warning("Survival NPC doesn't exist");
        }
        else{
            survivalNPC.setName("CLICK TO PLAY");
        }
    }

For some reason, it says that the event doesn't exist

[13:08:30 ERROR]: [PrinterLobby] Failed to register events for class org.printer.printerCore.PrinterCore because net/citizensnpcs/api/event/CitizensEnableEvent does not exist.

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

it looks correct to me... @novel wedge

I can't for the life of me get it to work

It seems like it can't find the plugin at runtime

Even though it's installed in the server

I can't use any of the api's functionality

If I try to, I get errors like this

[21:11:47 ERROR]: Could not pass event PlayerInteractEntityEvent to PrinterCore v1.0-SNAPSHOT
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/citizensnpcs/api/CitizensAPI

NPC npc = CitizensAPI.getNPCRegistry().getNPC(event.getRightClicked());
if (npc == null) {
    return;
}

I mean the plugin is there

And I'm using the same gradle thing as the wiki

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        name = "papermc-repo"
        url = "https://repo.papermc.io/repository/maven-public/"
    }
    maven {
        name = 'citizens-repo'
        url = 'https://maven.citizensnpcs.co/repo'
    }
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly("io.papermc.paper:paper-api:1.21.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT")
    compileOnly('net.citizensnpcs:citizens-main:2.0.39-SNAPSHOT') {
        exclude group: '*', module: '*'
    }
}

I also added softdepend: [Citizens] to my paper-plugin.yml
Are you using plugin.yml or paper-plugin.yml?

[novel wedge]

paper-plugin.yml

[rigid raptor]

Well, that uses an entirely different syntax, check Paper docs - although unless you specifically need any of the Paper plugins features you should consider just using the normal system

[novel wedge]

so i just need to find how softdepend works with this syntax

[rigid raptor]

It's all on Paper's documentation, either switch to plugin.yml or use the correct syntax for paper-plugin.yml

[novel wedge]

Yep. That was the problem thank you so much!
