setSpawnedType() will change the spawner's type

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

wow u made vein miner?

subtle blade Jul 8, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

The plugin, not the Forge mod, yes

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

I tried it and its not, let me just first try and print out what the mob is to make sure it isnt an issue from 'ent'

#

epic

tiny pebble Jul 8, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

thanks 😛

subtle blade Jul 8, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

o/

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

oh yeah how do u get comments in ur config

#

@subtle blade yeah ent is zombie but spawner still spawns default pig

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

@frigid ember Do you mean how to put them in there, or do you mean how to detect they are there?

lone fog Jul 8, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

                     
                     blockState.update();``` 
Those arent the same variable

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

wdym?

#

ohh its spawner.update();

#

let me try that

hushed violet Jul 8, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

where can i get auth login plugin for spigot 1.16.1 ?

lone fog Jul 8, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

Enable online mode

subtle blade Jul 8, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

We don't support offline servers

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 12:58 AM

#

how to put them in there

hushed violet Jul 8, 2020, 12:58 AM

#

Ok, im sorry

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

Can all entities be spawned through a spawner or do I have to make my own spawnentity event?

#

                    spawner.update();```

#

It puts a zombie inside the spawner but doesnt actually spawn him

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

you can spawn just about any entity using a spawner

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

Oh bet

#

not sure why its not working then hm

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

you need to update the spawners type to spawn a particular entity from it

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

ent returns ZOMBIE

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

but you also don't need a spawner to spawn an entity either

#

since you are not showing much code, not a whole lot we can do to help

#

it is quite possible that the reference to the spawner you have is incorrect or not what you think it is.

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

https://pastebin.com/4QShQtF8

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

ah, you are trying to change the spawners type in the event. Should try cancelling the event first then change its type.

#

or don't cancel the event and let the event happen and change it outside of the event

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

Okok let me try that cause last time I tried to cancel the event it infinite looped the event for whatever reason

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

well I gave you two ways to do it 😉

wary spoke Jul 8, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

@keen compass I mean this, the basic colors of minecraft always java Color[] colors = {new Color(249, 255, 255), new Color(156, 157, 151), new Color(71, 79, 82), new Color(29, 28, 33), new Color(255, 216, 61), new Color(249, 128, 29), new Color(176, 46, 38), new Color(130, 84, 50), new Color(128, 199, 31), new Color(93, 124, 21), new Color(58, 179, 218), new Color(22, 156, 157), new Color(60, 68, 169), new Color(243, 140, 170), new Color(198, 79, 189), new Color(137, 50, 183)};

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

alright and what were you wanting to know?

#

what is the range of the numbers?

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

o i r stupid u can use ChatColor.of(Color color) so u dont have to put hex in

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

not like its hard to put hex

#

Java supports Hex

#

there is a method to convert to it easily

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

hm yea

#

ill just keep it then ig

subtle blade Jul 8, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

There's always DyeColor#getColor() and ChatColor#getColor()

#

Both of which return Color objects

bright forge Jul 8, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Hi, is there a easy way to set() on a YamlConfiguration only if the value doesnt exist?

fringe cairn Jul 8, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

wait using intelliJ and spigot live debug is it possible to edit live

bright forge Jul 8, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

as i have tod add a if (x contains...) thingy

fringe cairn Jul 8, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

and make changes to the plugin code while its running

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

@keen compass I tried public void setSpawnerMob(CreatureSpawner spawner, EntityType mob) { spawner.setSpawnedType(mob); spawner.update(); } but still isnt spawning any mobs

#

i just write the code and re build and do /reload, which is probably not a good way tbh

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

@frigid ember if you are going to change the type after the event then you need to create a task that runs a tick or so later from the event method.

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

like a runable?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

yes

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

gotcha

fringe cairn Jul 8, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

okay so I followed everything the guide said to do and my test server has no plugins but when i click the hammer it doesn't seem to add the plugin... do I need to start with my plugin already installed?

west ermine Jul 8, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

Hello, what are some permission nodes to chat? I checked my chat format plugin, it doesn’t have it... pls ping me if u have a answer

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

@fringe cairn need to put plugins in the plugins directory first before starting the server

#

@west ermine depends on the plugin you are using

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

@keen compass sorry for mass pings lol im still learning, first time using a runnable but doesnt seem to be working ``` public void setSpawnerMob(CreatureSpawner spawner, EntityType mob) {
Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(plugin, new Runnable() {
public void run() {
spawner.setSpawnedType(mob);
spawner.update();
}
}, 1L);

}```

Hey can someone give me support?
I keep getting this error in console every 30 seconds or so
https://pastebin.com/sgG3UE9n

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

@frigid ember could try modifying the blockstate directly instead

#

not entirely sure why it isn't working for you

#

@west ermine the only permission that plugin has is
vaultchatformatter.reload and that is for the reload command

#

all that plugin does is formats chat

#

the only other permission there is for chat is the server permission to private message

#

bukkit.commands.msg or bukkit.commands.message

I’m getting errors that are some how related to paper but I don’t even have paper

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

@frigid ember some plugins use the paper API library

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

it’s a world related error

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

then you are using paper

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

well that’s simply impossible

#

my jar is from build tools

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

your right which means your statement is false in that you are not using paper

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

that’s what I said, i’m not using paper

#

but I googled my error and it says it was related to paper

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

which is false or you have a plugin that is trying to use paper API methods

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

it’s not a plugin error

#

it’s a world error

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

then you are using paper, not magic

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

https://pastebin.com/sgG3UE9n

#

I said I’m not using paper

#

god damn

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

All it is complaining about is unsupported keys.

lone fog Jul 8, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

You’re right googling that does bring up paper errors

#

And spigot errors

#

And even vanilla ones

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

However that isn't a paper error. To have paper errors you either are using paper or have a plugin that is trying to use Paper API methods

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

Alright then forget I said paper

#

Can you help me with my problem?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

There isn't really anything to do except go replace the items it is complaining about. It is just a warning

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

~~nvm I'm stupid~~

#

What are the items?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

has it in that list you pasted

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

flower pot?

kindred bane Jul 8, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

Did you update your server and not use --forceUpgrade option? Just a though.

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

That doesn't appear to be the issue

#

Mojangs Datafixer would have fixed the items appropriately upon the chunk loading

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

what does --forceUpgrade do?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

updates all the chunks/regions in the map before the server starts

#

not using that setting it will do it on the fly

#

meaning as chunks are loaded the data will be fixed

#

used for when you upgrade between major versions

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

so its for older severs converting to newer versions?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

since NBT data tends to change

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

yea

#

I updated spigot recently and this map is brand new off of world painter

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

Yes it is for older versions of a map that get ran on a newer server version

#

downside is once your map is updated you can't really use it for the older version again

#

at least not without problems most of the time

lone fog Jul 8, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

It’s probably worldpainter saving old format NBT data

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

World painter probably used NBT data that isn't supported

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

hmm

#

is that a question I should defer to WP

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

as I said, it really isn't much of an error. Rather it is just a warning

#

So the items should still work as expected

#

and eventually it will resolve itself

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

ya nothing seems wrong in game

#

I just want them to stop spamming console

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

easiest way is to go around replacing those items

#

destroy them, place them back

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

hundreds of them

#

maybe even a thousand

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

could try using --forceupgrade

#

to see if that will resolve it

#

but I doubt it will

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

Anyone know a good

#

sell/buy sign plugin

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

EssentialsX does alright for that

#

there is even ChestShop as well

#

ChestShop has the ability to just use signs without chests

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

[buying]
Cookie: 1

Minecraft IGN here

#

yeah looking for a plugin that allo2ws you to buy items using in-game items

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

Chestshop does that

#

so does EssentialsX

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

How about a renting plugin

#

I'll show you screenshot

#

FileConfiguration.save(File file) causes my config to lose all its comments except for the top one. is that normal?

#

Like that

kindred bane Jul 8, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

Yes @frigid ember

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

is there a way to prevent that from happening?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

@frigid ember yes

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

how?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

You will have to read the entire file line by line and store the comments in memory, re-apply the comments after you save

kindred bane Jul 8, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

I have a utility if you want to give it a try: https://github.com/tchristofferson/Config-Updater

GitHub

tchristofferson/Config-Updater

Used to update files for Bukkit/Spigot API. Contribute to tchristofferson/Config-Updater development by creating an account on GitHub.

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

SnakeYaml chooses to ignore comments instead of handling them. Yaml Spec states that is alright to do. Only way around it is to either use your own Yaml implementation that handles comments or go the more traditional route of handling files.

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

hm ok

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

or use a yaml library that does it too

#

one of the three

lone fog Jul 8, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

Or avoid saving files that have comments in the first place

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

can't exactly avoid that

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

could i just put all the comments in one bulk thing at the top

#

and avoid this altogether?

#

or is that messy

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

if I recall, Comments at the top are left alone

lone fog Jul 8, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

I mean you generally don’t need comments on a file that just stores data

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

hmm yeah

lone fog Jul 8, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

And you generally don’t need to edit a normal config file in game, so I’ve been able to avoid it so far

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

depends on your plugin

#

sometimes it is quite handy to use a couple of commands to toggle settings from in game

#

and not have to restart the server or reload the plugin because you modified the file directly

#

you could also make it handle modifications to the file directly too, not all that hard to detect such things

lone fog Jul 8, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

Can always make a fancy GUI editor with descriptions built in at that point

#

But that does take longer

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

or you know, just keep it simple with commands

lone fog Jul 8, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

Commands are boring

#

Who likes typing :p

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

In one of my plugins, I use Conversation API for changing the config 😉

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

tru tho commands are boring

#

ok i think i found a solution

#

that works around all of this

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

problem with GUI's is you introduce more problems that need to be handled

Hello! How to create an empty world completely?

Just a simple code please?

wheat mirage Jul 8, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

@keen compass I have clients who's server setup is on 1.8, don't be a dick.

#

Sometimes legacy software is necessary in the professional world

#

@frigid ember Addressed that in my initial message, I dont think Paper messes with ChatColor API

#

So I figured asking here would be best before offficially asking for legacy build support

subtle blade Jul 8, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

It's not being a dick if (1) You're on a fork. Whether or not you think it's not an issue, there's a chance that it is. (2) We do not support legacy versions

#

You can think we're being dicks but don't act entitled to support if your version is not in-line with what we support

wheat mirage Jul 8, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

I'm not asking for you to support it

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

PING WHAT WHEN WHY

wheat mirage Jul 8, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

I'm asking for people to not boldly assume everyone can force people to upgrade to 1.16

#

Especially since the large majority of servers nowadays are running legacy builds as bases

lone fog Jul 8, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

Citation needed

wheat mirage Jul 8, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

I'm talking big servers

#

Not hard to do a quick survey

#

All my big clients are running 1.8 bases

#

It's anecdotal true

#

But I doubt I'm wrong

#

If you're going to tell everyone running less than cutting edge 1.16 spigot you're alienating conservatively half the user base

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

I would say even more than 50%

#

Would need to check bstats

wheat mirage Jul 8, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

Exactly why I said converatively

#

And yeah trus

#

true

#

Its very hypocrtical that so much of spigot development is dedicated to preserving backwards compatibility and yet 1.8 is a curse word when looking for assistance.

subtle blade Jul 8, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

Correction, Bukkit strives for forwards compatibility

#

Not backwards

#

We don't support 1.8 because we want people to move off of exploit-riddled 5 year old software

nimble stump Jul 8, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

Speaking as former lead dev of a large network running one of those 5 year old pieces of software, if you choose to do that to yourself you have to be prepared to support that yourself

#

You can’t refuse to gain the benefit of years and years of fixed and expect the people who spent time making those fixes to help you

#

It’s unreasonable

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

1.8 makes up approximately 13-14% of servers

#

so, less then half even if you were to be conservative with the numbers

#

I don't force people to upgrade, just shouldn't be asking for support for something that is outdated. You should have the resources yourself to handle most of the bugs in legacy software. If you don't you shouldn't be using it, in either case it is your fault for using it no one elses.

#

1.8 is not going to get anymore updates, so whatever bugs you encounter that is on you to handle 😉

#

And yes I can expect people to be able to upgrade since nothing actually stops anyone from doing that as well. Updated versions contain fixes not just features 😉

What is the best way to update your mca files? I want to view them in mca selector but even after running/save-all they show old information.

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

what do you mean update the mca files?

#

normally the server does it automatically

errant sluice Jul 8, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

the files in my region folder

#

thats what i have read everywhere but when i copy the folder is shows old chunks before a lot of stuff was built

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

if you don't use --forceupgrade

#

the files are updated as they are needed/loaded

errant sluice Jul 8, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

i have built a lot and the view is over a week old

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

doesn't necessarily mean the region file you are looking at was recently used

#

but region files contain many chunks as well

#

its not that the entire region file gets updated, rather the individual chunks in said region file

#

and this is assuming the data in the chunk even needs updating

I'm thinking of making a HelloWorld plugin, and then adjusting it from there. Reading docs and stuff, would that be your recommendation?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

Generally that is the best way to start

balmy sentinel Jul 8, 2020, 4:18 AM

Hey I had a quick question. I have a database storing reports player's have made and I'm trying to get it so that when a player executes /reports list it will display all open reports. I already have a function that gets all the open reports from the database, my question is what is the best way of printing it to the screen and seeing ALL the results. I was thinking like /reports list <#> where # represents the page and have about 5-8 reports per page. However, I don't know how to code it and tell the user something like "there is currently 6 pages of open reports" and if they execute a page that doesn't exist to let them know (i.e. /reports list <9999>). Any help would be much appreciated.

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

you need to first decide how many you want to list at a given time

errant sluice Jul 8, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

--forceupgrade
@keen compass do i run that standalone in console/

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

okay, i'm just having trouble since I know, and many others have mentioned that videos & docs will most times contain wrong information, or ineffective coding, so how will I know which method to use, and the most efficient one?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

yes, but the downside is that it will go through all the chunks before the server starts @errant sluice

#

Once you have that number, it is a matter of iterating a list that many times per page

#

and keeping track of the page with a counter

#

you can make a custom object for this purpose that gets created and keeps the page number and a list of reports

errant sluice Jul 8, 2020, 4:20 AM

I can take it down for a few minutes, i am not in PROd yet

how would i save a list of locations in a config file?

grave narwhal Jul 8, 2020, 4:23 AM

#

how would i save a list of locations in a config file?
@frigid ember wht r u trynna save

#

specific player's location?

#

or like

#

spawn, warps, etc?

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

Location objects, of special blocks in the world

grave narwhal Jul 8, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

i mean

#

if thats the case

#

i wouldnt save it in a config file

#

Location variables

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

easiest way I have found is to serialize the location object @frigid ember

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

yes, but how would i put that in a list?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

far easier to re-obtain it later without having to parse anything 😉

#

You can just store arrays in yaml

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

wait so frost you use intellij?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

No

#

I use Netbeans

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

oh okay, so i download intellij idea community right? is that what most people use for itnellij

grave narwhal Jul 8, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

yes

#

community

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

Yes

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

hmm im still confused, i would serialize the location first, then put it in the list? then i would put that list in a config?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

Yes if its just a bunch of locations

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

oh ok

#

thanks ill try that

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

you don't necessarily need to serialize the locations

#

I do because I just found it easier then obtaining the location as string

#

and then parsing it to make it a location object

#

the serializing method, I can just deserialize and create the location object right after the deserializing 🙂

#

@errant sluice to answer your question, forceupgrade updates the map to whatever version of server you are using

#

but I mean unless I misunderstood by what you meant by MCA files being updated

#

if you meant you are not seeing changes when a chunk is modified, its quite possible that you are either not looking in the proper region files or the chunks updated are somewhere in the middle of the region file thus you are not seeing it.

opal bay Jul 8, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

t+\s*e+\s*s+\s*t+ I'm trying to do the regex stuff, you know but I was wondering how do I match every instance of that but I want to also not match testing123 but still match every other instance of that, anyone have any idea?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

every other instance of what?

opal bay Jul 8, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

sorry I meant like

#

every othe match

#

i need sleep

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

you want to match testing123

opal bay Jul 8, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

I want to match test but if theres testing123 I want to ignore it

errant sluice Jul 8, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

if you meant you are not seeing changes when a chunk is modified, its quite possible that you are either not looking in the proper region files or the chunks updated are somewhere in the middle of the region file thus you are not seeing it.
@keen compass I am not seeing the chunks as being modfied and I can tell its old based on things being present that no longer exist and new structures not showing up

subtle blade Jul 8, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

testing\s+

#

actually isn't there a negative look-ahead?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

test^ should do the trick

subtle blade Jul 8, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

That's the one

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

^test$ @opal bay

#

^ means start of boundary and $ means end of boundary

opal bay Jul 8, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

thanks a lot guys

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

the other way you can do it is
/\btest\b/

#

but the first one is more cleaner though 😛

#

@errant sluice then I am not entirely sure unless you have permission problems but, as I said region files don't get all the chunks updated. So either you are checking the wrong region files or wherever you are looking in the region file isn't the correct spot.

errant sluice Jul 8, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

frostalf, could i get in a call with you?

#

for the project sdk on intellij startup, on the spigotmc thing it says 1.8 java version, but on the list mine says 14 java version, is 14 just the updated one?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 5:03 AM

#

java 14 is just updated. Buildtools and Minecraft are compiled with Java 1.8

#

Java 14 can run 1.8 coded stuff

#

so the minimum recommended Java version to have is java 1.8

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

what plugin can i use to discord bungeecord server online players

vernal spruce Jul 8, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

@fringe cairn well in newer versions chest have PersistentData,simply listen to the explosionevent,check if the chest has that data and easy..

hasty crag Jul 8, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

how could i send a message to a player like player.sendMessage with a custom font?

fringe cairn Jul 8, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

How expensive is listening to every event that could possibly break a block? My idea was check if the chests coordinates were in a database and then if they were cancel the event, but I'm confused about the persistent data and how I would use that

#

And I also need to protect it in more ways than just explosions (basically every survival way of destroying the chest)

#

ohhhh you're saying I can store all that data in the chest

vernal spruce Jul 8, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

You dont there is an event specific to explosion

fringe cairn Jul 8, 2020, 6:58 AM

#

Instead of a database?

vernal spruce Jul 8, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

well persistentdata its from 1.13

fringe cairn Jul 8, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

I know but I want to make it unbreakable

#

Yeah that's fine this is a 1.16 plugin

vernal spruce Jul 8, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

All it has to do its gonna hold 1 value

fringe cairn Jul 8, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

Wait what values can it hold?

#

Just one variable?

vernal spruce Jul 8, 2020, 7:00 AM

#

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/persistence/PersistentDataType.html

PersistentDataType (Spigot-API 1.16.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT API)

declaration: package: org.bukkit.persistence, interface: PersistentDataType

fringe cairn Jul 8, 2020, 7:00 AM

#

So like unbreakable in every way including mining

#

Okay thanks

vernal spruce Jul 8, 2020, 7:00 AM

#

You store a value to act as a trigger,then you do ur own checks on events

fringe cairn Jul 8, 2020, 7:01 AM

#

And should I not be woried about doing a lot of checks on events? Like I would need to do a check on block break event, explosion events, and other ones

vernal spruce Jul 8, 2020, 7:02 AM

#

Well there is no other way

fringe cairn Jul 8, 2020, 7:02 AM

#

Okay. Also do you know if the persistent data carys over in a double chest? Like both sides of the chest have the same persistent data?

vernal spruce Jul 8, 2020, 7:02 AM

#

You can always lock the checks to be chest specific so there isnt much performance lost

fringe cairn Jul 8, 2020, 7:03 AM

#

How do I lock the checks to be chest specific?

#

You mean like just check if it's affecting a chest with an if statement at the start or something else

vernal spruce Jul 8, 2020, 7:04 AM

#

You just check if a block its a chest

#

Before getting the persistentdata

fringe cairn Jul 8, 2020, 7:05 AM

#

Okay thanks

#

And do you know about the double chest thing?

#

Or should I just try stuff and see what works

I'm trying to set up a firewall, but I can't figure out what my BungeeCord IP is...

With IPWhitelist, the IP I had to whitelist was different from the IP my host told me the bungee was on and different from the IP that I can connect to. I can't connect to the IP I had to whitelist with IPWhitelist.

Would I have to use my connectable IP for the BungeeCord IP or the IP that IPWhitelist had me whitelist for the firewall?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 9:59 AM

#

you are not really making sense with this

#

what is ipwhitelist?

#

is that a plugin or something?

sturdy oar Jul 8, 2020, 9:59 AM

#

it's a stupid plugin yeah

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:00 AM

#

connectable IP should be the ip you connect to. the ip in the whitelist is your ip address of your home network

#

not sure why that would be confusing to you

Is there an event for the upgrade of items in the smithing table (1.16) ?

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:02 AM

Alright, the IP I had to whitelist with IPWhitelist was a reserved IP address (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses)

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:03 AM

#

And if you read that page

#

you can't connect to reserved ips from the outside

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:03 AM

#

Yep

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:04 AM

#

which means that is obviously not going to be an ip you are going to connect to

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:04 AM

#

yeah

#

I meant in the firewall though, would it be the reserved IP address or the connectable one

fervent bone Jul 8, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

i mean ipwhitelist has setupmode so just enable that and then connect to server wia bungee server you're gonna use?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

well if you are setting up a firewall and the server has a reserved IP address

#

then its going to be similar to what you do with a home router

fervent bone Jul 8, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

or you could just not port forward other ports than bungee one?

IPWhitelist is configured and working Gasper, I'm looking to change it to a firewall

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

does both bungee and the mc server run on the same host?

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

IPTables

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

then you don't need to mess with that

#

set the mc server to listen on 127.0.0.1 as the ip address

#

update your bungee config to reflect the mc server ip change

#

voila no more iptables needed

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:08 AM

#

Isn't that still bypassable if another person uses the same host, though?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:08 AM

#

no

#

I am assuming you are renting a vps right?

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:08 AM

#

something like that. Shared hosting but it's a really small host so we're the only ones on our machine

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

vps's are like mini computers running on a computer

#

in other words while although you are sharing a physical server

#

your VPS is separate from everyone elses vps

#

so using 127.0.0.1 is safe to use 😉

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:10 AM

#

I see, in that case no this is not similar to a VPS in that aspect

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:10 AM

#

that is a loopback address. Impossible to connect to that address outside of your vps

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:12 AM

#

It's shared hosting and not a VPS, so another person on the same machine could use 127.0.0.1 to connect to my server

Isn't singlethreaded performance of a 9700k/9900k still better than that

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

Minecraft has stuff multithreaded

#

world generation is multi-threaded

#

multi-threading isn't the same as multi-coring. Can't specifically target cores with java

#

The OS dictates if a thread should be ran on another core or not

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

MC stuff is complicated. I'm just looking to increase TPS :P

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

There is some plugins that do make use of multi-threading as well

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

I don't think the xeon offers an upgrade from a 7700k though, right?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

Either of the servers I linked you will do just fine

#

Xeon is a server grade CPU

#

I7's are not server grade

#

there is a difference even if performance looks the same

#

Server grade cpus are designed to run applications for extended periods of time without failing

#

Desktop CPU's are designed to give performance in short bursts over a short period of time

#

also there is some extensions present in server cpus that are not available in desktop cpus as well

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

Makes sense, but I've never had a problem with a CPU failing on me or the current 7700k slowing down every once in a while

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:31 AM

#

Also server grade cpu's tend to have a larger L cache as well

#

unlike desktop cpu's

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 10:32 AM

#

There is some plugins that do make use of multi-threading as well
Some, but most don't

If I7-7700k is what you really want though OVH has it

#

https://www.ovh.com/world/dedicated-servers/game/game-64/

GAME-64

#

Just telling you Xeon's that are of same period of the I7 you are looking at, will always out perform when it comes to server software

#

and another fun fact, everything the i7 can do, Xeons have been doing for far longer as well 😛

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:34 AM

#

Weird, so why are the i7 and ryzens in the category "game" but the fast xeon is not?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:34 AM

#

there was an 8 core Xeon way before there was an 8 core i7 😉

#

because people like yourself who are only familiar with desktop cpu's and are only familiar with performances of such things seek those out. Mainly from misinformation or from word of mouth from someone else and thus not doing research. Not to offend you btw.

#

But there is a big difference between server grade cpus and desktop ones. Everything that has been claimed new for the i7 Xeons have already had those things for many years longer 😛

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

Excuse me but that sounds like bullshit lol

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

what is new is for the i7 series to have it if that makes sense

#

not that it is new entirely

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

haha none taken. I understand what you mean, but i7 and consumer grade hardware has long had better single-threaded performance than xeons since most consumers aren't going to use like 22 cores. Is entity ticking single threaded?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

There is single threaded Xeons btw

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 10:40 AM

#

Almost the entire work a Minecraft server does is single threaded, just because it is a "Minecraft server" doesn't mean it will run better on a lower frequency processor, it's still a single threaded game and it performs horribly on moderately high player counts

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

not sure where you get that it was claimed lower frequency processor is better

misty pine Jul 8, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

Is someone other getting problems on 1.16.1 with that code (I get nullpointerexceptions)
player.setHealth(player.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH).getDefaultValue());

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

but I will state that an Xeon that is at a lower frequency can still out perform an i7 at a higher frequency. It might not be able to do stuff faster, but it can handle doing more overall regardless. Frequency of a processor is not the only indicator in what it can do.

#

To prove this point look no further then your GPU processor

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

It can't do more tasks if there is only one task omg a multi core processor won't magically split a process into 4 threads

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

GPU processors run orders slower then CPU's but are still faster

#

but only doing certain things though and not everything

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

But those tasks are designed for GPU hardware to take advantage of that

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

my point is that frequency isn't the end all of things

#

Second, there is some things in Minecraft that is multi-threaded

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

And core count doesn't make your server run faster if it has only 1 thread, it's useless

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

I haven't looked over the 1.16 code, but supposedly chunk loaded was to be multi-threaded

#

not sure if that made it into 1.16 or not

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

Yes there are, but entity processing, chunk processing and most plugins out there is single threaded

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

Second, Java GC performs better if it can have more threads 😉

#

and the GC threads can run on different cores if the OS allows it

dreamy dawn Jul 8, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

So if TPS is 15 due to entity tick, that'd still benefit more from an 9900k than a Xeon, right?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

Also, Running multiple Java applications

means each application can be ran on a separate core

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

Not sure what your point is. ECC is useful for everyone. Reason Desktop cpus don't need it, is because rebooting an application isn't as detrimental as an application failing on a server

#

your desktop applications from time to time will fail sometimes randomly due to something with ram. Most of the time corrected by just re-launching the application again

#

On servers that is a detrimental thing sometimes and quite nice if the hardware can just handle that for you

#

that is, it fixed the memory address problem without you needing to intervene

can you send me a screenshot of the port forwarding screen and make sure to blank out any IPs

abstract swallow Jul 8, 2020, 11:12 AM

ok

1 min

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 11:12 AM

don't really need to blank out ips but can if you want, not like anyone is going to connect to your reserved ip

#

not like reserved ips are secret either

there is only 3 reserved ip spaces that home routers can use XD

My Minecraft-specific JVM profiler of preference, the description will show all it's capable of better than I'm able to explain

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

Should be noted it is a sampler profiler, not a real JVM profiler. Two different things. It will work for basic problems however.

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

It samples a bit of almost literally everything lol
It's nowhere near a proper universal JVM profiler, but this, for Minecraft is (in general) more than enough

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

sometimes

#

And it doesn't sample everything

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

Better than timings

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 11:31 AM

I agree it is better then timings

Thanks @keen compass @frigid ember iwill try it

Spark is just the continuation of warmroast

frigid ember Jul 8, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

It does say it right up front "spark is a performance profiling plugin based on sk89q's WarmRoast profiler" xd

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

allows for basic viewing of what the server is doing. Doesn't give an accurate idea of what is going on in the heap though. That is, you can see the memory usage, but it isn't broken down to see young, old, surviving generation

abstract swallow Jul 8, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

@jaunty night didnt work

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 11:33 AM

so because of that, spark isn't useful to diagnose memory leaks

Well, the memory inspection thingy it has, while good, it also does point out "Not intended to be a full replacement of proper memory analysis tools"

it just launches me in the air 3 miles up and forward

#

idk if it does anything if I change reduction to a high amount

#

maybe I should test that

jaunty night Jul 8, 2020, 12:38 PM

#

What's it supposed to do?

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 12:38 PM

#

to basically reduce the knockback by that multiplier

#

so it decides how much kb does the player take

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

Your problem is negative numbers

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

wdym

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

multiply a negative with a positive and you get a positive

#

IE, -6 * 4 = 24

#

er -24

#

but I don't think it handles negatives very well

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

wait so motZ,X,Y are negatives

#

?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

you have motx as minusing from the magnitude

#

which could make it negative

#

depending on the numbers you are working with

#

same with motz

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

what about Y

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

your Y is adding

#

so its possible that the numbers for x and z are not ones you are wanting

#

and y ends up being a large number then expected

#

should print out the numbers into chat

#

to see what numbers are being presented so you can get a better idea of what your math is doing

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

ok

#

where is the print method located

#

in the spigot

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 12:48 PM

#

either broadcast it or just print it to the console

#

for console can just do System.out.println("");

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 12:48 PM

#

ok

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

should probably floor your values if anything

#

if negative numbers are not something you want

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

motX/Z are negative

#

and motY is positive

#

[15:51:35 INFO]: motX: -0.5302055907775519
[15:51:35 INFO]: motY: 1.09
[15:51:35 INFO]: motZ: -0.9523560676060577

#

so shall I multiply X/Z and divide motY

#

or divide them all with a negative number except for motY

#

@keen compass

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

see, told you it was negative numbers 😛

#

now the thing is, you are dividing at the end

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

btw I added // to the knockback reduction codes the last ones, and added the system print thing

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

what number is the knockback reduction

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

1.0D

jaunty night Jul 8, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

Perhaps a percentage may work better for reducing knockback, unless the multiplier is a percentage and in that case I'll just stfu

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

yes a percentage might work better

#

and just fyi 1.0D is still equal to 1

#

and in math

#

It means just that and not a reduction of 1

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

percentage?

#

any ideas of how can I do that

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:04 PM

#

double result = X/Y;
result = result * 100;

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

hmm?

jaunty night Jul 8, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

To decrease a number by a percentage don't you first have to get the percentage of that number and decrease it by that amount?

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

Yes you first need to get the percentage

#

and then you can reduce

jaunty night Jul 8, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

Ah I see

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

how am I gonna use the result

jaunty night Jul 8, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

result * knockback

#

And then that gives X percent of knockback

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

so basically result * motZ,motY,motX

jaunty night Jul 8, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

Then just subtract that from the total

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

first you need to identify what is the highest the knockback can be

#

then you can get the percentage by doing knockbackreduction/highest knockback value

#

then times that by 100

#

that gets your percentage for reducing the knockback

jaunty night Jul 8, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

Wouldn't it be better just to set a flat rate for reducing knockback in the config, so just I want for reduce knockback by 50% per say

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

they do set it in the config

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

wait

#

so 1.0D is 10% reduction?

#

or 1%

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

I don't know the highest possible value for knockback

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

well depends

#

horizontal/vertical

jaunty night Jul 8, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

1%

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

I can only tell you the math for how to get what you want 😛

#

if knock back can be 100, then 1.0D is 1%

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

knockbackFrictionVertical: 1.5
knockbackFrictionHorizontal: 2.0
knockbackHorizontal: 1.09
knockbackVertical: 1.09
knockbackReduction: 1.0

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

ok, the highest value for knockback is 8 blocks distance

#

that is vanilla without plugins interfering

#

so if we assume 8 is 100, then 1.0D is 12.5%

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

how can I know what the max distance is

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

max distance is 8 blocks

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

my values are not vanilla kb

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

ok, but does that change what the max possible knockback can be in game though?

jaunty night Jul 8, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

Why can't you just decrease motx, motz, and moty by the given percentage

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

Just because you are reducing it, doesn't mean the max suddenly went away that is possible

#

now mind you I am speaking of vanilla wise and not setting knockback to some arbitrarily high value lol

#

each level of knockback, adds 3 blocks distance, and the max distance is 8 blocks

jaunty night Jul 8, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

Wouldn't it just be a lot easier to decrease these values like so: mot = mot - ((percentage/100) * mot)

but, since you are making a fork, and need help with changing stuff in the server files themselves. I highly doubt anyone here is really going to be of much help

#

yeah but I wouldn't use a spigot fork to listen to events though

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

spigot fork just means you are changing the server code

I was bought [AsyncWorldEdit - Premium] by paypal, but not purchased that

#

yeah

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

in the server code you can listen for events that are thrown

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

well that's what i'm doing

#

changing the server code

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

I know, so essentially you are asking for help in creating a fork here 😛

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

modifying

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

still a fork none the less

jaunty night Jul 8, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

I have some experience with making a fork but not that much

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

you modifying it, means it is no longer spigot 😉

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

it's not really changing spigot itself

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

but you are

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

but changing the minecraft server

#

the minecraft code

#

minecraft server code

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

the code you are messing with isn't just minecraft code, there is spigot code there too

jaunty night Jul 8, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

If all you plan to do is add knockback reducition I would just use a plugin to listen for that event

#

There's no need for an entire fork for that

weak violet Jul 8, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

only thing i'm using from spigot is the config

#

but yeah I did more not only knockbackReduction

help i get this error with warp guihttps://pastebin.com/fspnqZuP

Pastebin

[14:38:19 ERROR]: Could not pass event InventoryClickEvent to WarpG...

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

but, anyways my point is. It is poor etiquette to create a fork, and then come to upstream server because you need help in creating said fork.

#

If you want to create a fork that is fine, but you if you don't know what you are doing at all

@frigid ember this warp GUI? https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/essentials-warp-gui-opensource.13571/

keen compass Jul 8, 2020, 1:43 PM
