[glossy venture]

can you send the code you have

[quaint mantle]

    public void sendRequest(Player player, String request) {
        ByteArrayDataOutput out = ByteStreams.newDataOutput();
        out.writeUTF("Message");
        out.writeUTF("ambmt");
        out.writeUTF(request);
        player.sendPluginMessage(this, "Bungeecord", out.toByteArray());


    }

Ignore the debugs lol

[glossy venture]

How do you listen to the messages

did you register the listener

oh its BungeeCord

not Bungeecord

its case sensitive

thats the problem

[slate delta]

any ideas?

[quaint mantle]

Nah no shot its that dumb

ill get back to you @glossy venture

[glossy venture]

it prob is

[quaint mantle]

brooo if its that

[glossy venture]

lmao

[quaint mantle]

im not doing that

[glossy venture]

heheheha

[quaint mantle]

tbf this was coded in like 10 mins

i lost my plugin progress when my pc broke😭

[glossy venture]

damn that sucks

[quaint mantle]

watch it not be that rofl

[glossy venture]

remember to change it in the listener too

[quaint mantle]

it was correct in the listener

this goes to show

[glossy venture]

ah

[quaint mantle]

always copy and paste kdis

[glossy venture]

yes

and quadruple check

strings

and constants

[quaint mantle]

im checking it now

fingers crossed

please

[glossy venture]

🙏

[quaint mantle]

i love you

[weary cobalt]

Is it possible to request data from a bungeecord plugin via a spigot plugin? Such as receiving a variable, or other piece of information upon request. I havent found any examples of this online, and most tutorials that I have found haven't really explained this. If someone has any code examples or could push me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated 😃

[azure hawk]

how can i ban players with a reason?

[civic solar]

.ban Playernam Reason

[azure hawk]

not in mc you idiot xd

in java

lol

[floral drum]

Yes, you can either use plugin messaging to accomplish this, or to go down a better approach - you could use redis pubsub to retrieve information from other servers/proxies

[dim bronze]

There should be methods to do this in the ban list

Bukkit.getBanList(BanList.Type.NAME)

Why not, I honestly think threads are the way to go?

Apart from like one word answers

Which is usually just linking to a thread someone could have found on google

for in depth problems I think forcing the use of threads tidies things up. But most of the questions in this channel probably don't fit the use case I guess

[flint coyote]

Also there already is a forum. I would use the forum for complex questions and discord for small questions with like up to three sentence answers

I'm aware not everyone does that tho

which one?

Yeah so that's basically the same as spigotmc forum on the web then

So unless it's synced in some way I would say that isn't a great idea. Especially since you can't find those threads in google. So we will get the same questions day by day

I read my own message wrong and changed something that was correct before. oops

changed it back

[weary cobalt]

This? https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/using-redis-pub-sub-for-cross-server-synchronisation.282327/

[floral drum]

Yes, that would work

[weary cobalt]

Thank you, I'll look into it!

[true shuttle]

Hey does anyone know how I could detect if a player opens a villager's inventory, but doesn't trade? meaning they close the inventory without making a trade

my first thought was playerInteractEntityEvent, but i'm not sure how to see if they don't make a trade and how to run it once they close the inventory

I've searched google and found nothing

probably InventoryCloseEvent

[weary cobalt]

You could try something like this, there may be a better way to do it though.

@EventHandler
    public void onOpenInventory(InventoryOpenEvent e) {
        Player player = (Player) e.getPlayer();
        InventoryType inventoryType = e.getInventory().getType();
    }

And then check if the inventory is a villagers inventory.

InventoryType seems to have a lot of options, not sure which one would be a villager trading menu

[true shuttle]

it's Merchant

[floral drum]

Idea - listen for when a player interacts with a villager with trades. Store them in a List for example if they do this.
Listen for InventoryClickEvent for when a player clicks on the result slot (aka the slot where the traded item is). If it's empty, then ignore it. If it's not empty, that means the player has traded with the villager - and at that point you can remove them from the list.
When they close the inventory, you can then check if they're still in the list. If they aren't, that means they have traded and you can ignore it. If they are, that means they haven't traded and you can execute your code.

tell me if you understand

[true shuttle]

oooh ok that makes sense

good idea, thanks!

[true shuttle]

understood

[floral drum]

❤️

[floral drum]

If you're using paperspigot/any server jar forked from paper, there is an api inside of the paper-api dependency to detect wether or not the player trades with a villager (PlayerTradeEvent)

[ancient plank]

[floral drum]

hello adelemphii ❤️

[true shuttle]

OOOO

i am using paper!

sweet! that makes it way easier, thanks!!!!

[true shuttle]

:(

i usually use spigot

but i just realized that im using paper for my newest project

lol

cya

[vale veldt]

this still works? i'm using it and the events are not working.

TextComponent message = new TextComponent("Click me");
message.setClickEvent(new ClickEvent(ClickEvent.Action.OPEN_URL, "https://www.spigotmc.org"));
message.setHoverEvent(new HoverEvent(HoverEvent.Action.SHOW_TEXT, new ComponentBuilder("Visit the Spigot website!").create()));
sender.sendMessage(message.toLegacyText());``` 

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/the-chat-component-api/

[chrome beacon]

toLegacyText will remove hover and click events

Use sender.spigot().sendMessage(message)

[vale veldt]

thanks, in versions 1.8 for example there is no spigot() method, how could it be done?

[dim bronze]

there should be, make sure you are using a spigot dependency and not a bukkit one

[vale veldt]

I'm stupid, I was sending the message as CommandSender not as a player 🤦‍♂️

[floral drum]

owo

[vale veldt]

and the HoverEvent is there another way to do it now? I see that in recent versions it is deprecated

[chrome beacon]

There is another hover method you should use

Check Javadocs

[vale veldt]

thx 🙂

[cobalt tinsel]

guys

how do i spawn a thunder

[vocal cloud]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot

[cobalt tinsel]

yes but

there's nothing there related to summoning only one

[vocal cloud]

Define summoning only one?

[cobalt tinsel]

well

like a death animation

on kill it makes a thunder spawn on the death location

i forgot how to make one

[rapid aspen]

help me please

[cobalt tinsel]

like how to make the thunder appear on death.getLocation();

[cold tartan]

death.getLocation.getworld.spawnEntity()

[cobalt tinsel]

well, start with adding the return true; inside of the ifs

[rapid aspen]

i dont see that

bruh

[cobalt tinsel]

tried with that but

how do i spawn the lightihng 💀

that's what im askin

[cold tartan]

death.getLocation().getWorld().spawnEntity(player.getLocation(), EntityType.LIGHTNING);

[cobalt tinsel]

OOOOOOOOOO

THE FUCK

IM DUMB

[vocal cloud]

Or you can just use strike lightning (location)

[cobalt tinsel]

I WAS WRITING LIGHTING

[cold tartan]

oh lol

[cobalt tinsel]

NOT LIGHTNING

that's why xD

thx

[cold tartan]

how do i get the entity that was spawned in the SPAWN_ENTITY packet through ProtocolLib?

[cobalt tinsel]

oo im dumb didn't saw the getWorld().strikeLightning();

[vocal cloud]

The docs are nice for that

[cobalt tinsel]

what'd happen if i cancel the LightningStrikeEvent

like i want it to cause no damage

but

[cold tartan]

event.getPacket().getStrings().readSafely(1); just returns null, but i think that 1 should be the way to get UUID considering:

[cold tartan]

and considering: https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Spawn_Entity

[worldly ingot]

ProtocolLib doesn't refer to the protocol specification

It pulls from the fields of the packet class

You should be able to getUUIDs().readSafely(1)

[vocal cloud]

Yo Choco any word from md_5 or should I ping him

[worldly ingot]

No he's been relatively quiet lol, though I really don't think since tags would be accepted

[ancient plank]

you can't milk those?

[vocal cloud]

I'll wait a few days

[worldly ingot]

What the hell conversation did you come from? lol

[ancient plank]

idk anymore

I'm so lost

[vocal cloud]

If it exists you can milk it

[cold tartan]

👀

[cold tartan]

got it tysm

[wide robin]

        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        Block targetBlock = p.getTargetBlock(null, 5);
        if (p.isSneaking() && String.valueOf(targetBlock.getType()) == "CHEST") {
            FileConfiguration config = plugin.getConfig();
            String coordination = targetBlock.getLocation().getBlockX() + " " + targetBlock.getLocation().getBlockY() + " " + targetBlock.getLocation().getBlockZ();
            if(targetBlock instanceof Chest) {
``` why is the last if won't return true even though i am looking at a chest?

I can't use the targetBlock as a chest even though it is a chest

[delicate lynx]

wtf is this String.valueOf(targetBlock.getType()) == "CHEST"

[worldly ingot]

Creative

That is creative

Anyways, getType() returns a Material, which is a constant you can check against. So targetBlock.getType() == Material.CHEST

[dry forum]

how would i make an armorstand using nms? it says ArmorStand cant be initialized but thats what https://nms.screamingsandals.org/1.18.1/net/minecraft/world/entity/decoration/ArmorStand.html says

[delicate lynx]

why are you using 1.18.1 is the real question

[dry forum]

im using 1.18.2 but same issue

[delicate lynx]

have you tried new EntityArmorStand(EntityTypes.ARMOR_STAND, world);?

[dry forum]

that works but ARMOR_STAND doesnt exist, did you mean Type or?

[quaint mantle]

how would i add & to the start of the pattern?

because its just #FFFFFF instead of &#FFFFFF

    private static final Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("#[a-fA-F0-9]{6}");
    
    public static String color(String text) {
        for(Matcher match = pattern.matcher(text); match.find(); match = pattern.matcher(text)) {
            String color = text.substring(match.start(), match.end());
            text = text.replace(color, ChatColor.of(color) + "");
        }

        return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', text);
    }```

[delicate lynx]

EntityTypes.ARMOR_STAND doesn't exist?

[quaint mantle]

EntityType.ARMOR_STAND

[delicate lynx]

oh my bad lol

[dry forum]

EntityTypes
<? extends net.minecraft.world.entity.decoration.EntityArmorStand>
Provided:
EntityType``` it seems like nms does use Types but armor_stand doesnt exist

[lost matrix]

You cant use bukkit types in nms. Mojang doesnt code their software with spigot in mind.

[dry forum]

how would i spawn an armorstand using that then i cant find it on the nms website

(https://nms.screamingsandals.org/1.18.2/net/minecraft/util/datafix/fixes/EntityArmorStandSilentFix.html) this website

[lost matrix]

Just look at the constructor of ArmorStand

[dry forum]

ArmorStand stand = new EntityArmorStand(EntityTypes., s); none of the auto complete things for that make sense

[lost matrix]

EntityArmorStand is from the old mappings. Dont use them. Since 1.17 you should always use mojang mappings

[delicate lynx]

ArmorStand stand = new ArmorStand(EntityType.ARMOR_STAND, world);

this works for me

[dry forum]

'ArmorStand' is abstract; cannot be instantiated

[delicate lynx]

what are your imports?

[lost matrix]

Thats the bukkit armorstand. You need the nms ArmorStand.

[dry forum]

import net.minecraft.network.chat.ChatMessageType;
import net.minecraft.network.chat.IChatBaseComponent;
import net.minecraft.network.protocol.game.PacketPlayOutChat;
import net.minecraft.network.protocol.game.PacketPlayOutSpawnEntityLiving;

import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_18_R2.entity.CraftPlayer;
import org.bukkit.entity.ArmorStand;
import org.bukkit.entity.EntityType;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;```

[delicate lynx]

there is the problem

[dry forum]

there is only the bukkit import i see

[delicate lynx]

remove

import org.bukkit.entity.ArmorStand;
import org.bukkit.entity.EntityType;

[lost matrix]

Because you are not using mojang mappings

[delicate lynx]

that too, was wondering why your imports are versioned

[dry forum]

huh?

[lost matrix]

Thats CraftBukkit

[delicate lynx]

I thought they weren't versioned anymore?

[lost matrix]

Also happens with the mojang mappings. CraftBukkit is independent.

[dry forum]

wdym im not using mojang mappings

[delicate lynx]

did you run buildtools to get a remapped jar?

[lost matrix]

The CraftBukkit packages have always been versioned. Didnt change.

[delicate lynx]

ah

[dry forum]

??

i run buildtools im using 1.18.2 spigot maven

[delicate lynx]

well, did you?

[lost matrix]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/9-years-of-spigotmc-spigot-bungeecord-1-18-1-18-2-release.534760/
Scroll down to them "NMS" section

You need to run BuildTools with the remapped flag. Its all covered in this thread.

java -jar BuildTools.jar --rev 1.18.2 --remapped

[dry forum]

oh? shouldnt it be updated on the buildtools then

[lost matrix]

After that you need to setup the special sources plugin for maven

[delicate lynx]

this is a good guide on how to do that https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[dry forum]

umm i just ran it and now the only import that works is for armorstands <dependency> <groupId>org.spigotmc</groupId> <artifactId>spigot</artifactId> <version>1.18.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <scope>provided</scope> <classifier>remapped-mojang</classifier> </dependency>

[lost matrix]

Did you manually add any jars to your project?

[dry forum]

no

[lost matrix]

Ok then make sure that this is your only spigot dependency and that you have set up the special sources plugin

[dry forum]

special sources pluugin?

[dusk flicker]

i wonder

?maven

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-maven/

[dusk flicker]

oh shit

[dry forum]

i added that to my pom and it still doesnt work same issue

Hey guys, I have a question. I created a Class that uses the Listener but I want to add a delay to it after the event has been triggered.

I tried implementing the Bukkit scheduler within the class file but I can't seem to use it properly.
Any ideas?

The code:

package listeners;
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerMoveEvent;


public class miscEvents implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerStep(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
        event.getPlayer().sendMessage("You have stepped");
        //Add delay here
        event.getPlayer().getLocation().subtract(0, 1, 0).getBlock().setType(Material.AIR);

    }

}

[lost matrix]

Use the bukkit scheduler to delay an action by a few ticks

[kind hatch]

Bukkit#getScheduler#runTaskLater()

[harsh rose]

Would that be in the same class file or different?

[lost matrix]

I dont understand this question...

[harsh rose]

like do i put the bukkit get scheduler in the same code?

wait, i'll try it again first before anything

[lost matrix]

This sounds like you jumped into spigot before learning the very basics of java. Not a good idea.

[harsh rose]

Yeahh. I have experience with Python, javascript and OOP

Im still new to Java

[lost matrix]

Then the question should be trivial to answer for yourself

[harsh rose]

Hmm idkk. im not familiar with the Spigot stuff

So what I want to do is:
Whenever a player walks, the block that they walked on will dissapear after 3 seconds

[lost matrix]

That is really hard to achieve properly. What if they break and then place a another block there? You need to keep track of everything.

[harsh rose]

yeah ik

but i just want to get something working first

[lost matrix]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/scheduler-programming/

[ornate heart]

Are YamlConfiguration values cached in memory or is it reading the disk every time?

[lost matrix]

yaml config is just a glorified hashmap

[ornate heart]

gotchu

[harsh rose]

public class miscEvents implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerStep(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
        event.getPlayer().sendMessage("You have stepped");
        BukkitScheduler scheduler =  Bukkit.getScheduler();
        scheduler.runTaskLater(plugin,()-> System.out.println("Hello"),20);
    }
}

I almost have it but not sure what plugin is supposed to refer to. Is it supposed to refer the Class that im trying to use?

Is the scheduler supposed to be in a separate class and I import the other class in?

[lost matrix]

An instance of your JavaPlugin

[harsh rose]

like the actual plugin that runs it all?

[kind hatch]

Use a proper map? They've been around for quite a while.
Map#put()
Map#get()

I'm surprised your code compiled with that lowercase method. (Assuming that's the bukkit scheduler)

[harsh rose]

Update: I fixed my problem 🥳

[glossy lily]

how do you get a list of uuids that are online on the server/world

[kind hatch]

Player UUIDs?

[glossy lily]

yes

[kind hatch]

Iterate over Bukkit#getOnlinePlayers(), get the player's UUID, and put them in a list.

[glossy lily]

how would you iterate over it

[kind hatch]

A for loop?

[glossy lily]

im just curious since im relatively new to java

how would you structure said for loop

i know i could just do a normal one

but do you have any specific ways of doing it

[modest garnet]

so i know that

javac <filename.java>

converts it to a .class

however my system runs java 17
how can i javac in java8?

[kind hatch]

Well, you could use a foreach loop. It's a simpler way to use for loops with one dimensional arrays.

List<Object> myList = new ArrayList();
// For each object that is in `myList` do this.
for (Object obj : myList) {
 // Do stuff.
}

[worldly ingot]

You just have to point to the javac of a Java 8 bin

[modest garnet]

you got an example for me

[worldly ingot]

The reason javac works is because your PATH environment variable points to Java 17, but really it's equivalent to just calling a J17 javac

D:/Program Files/AdoptOpenJDK/jdk-8.0.275.1-hotspot/bin/javac whatever.java

You change that to wherever you have your JDK 8 installed

[modest garnet]

how do i write it as there is a " " in program files

[worldly ingot]

Depends on what script you're using. Powershell, Command Prompt, Bash, etc.

[modest garnet]

cmd

[worldly ingot]

You can surround Program Files in quotation marks

e.g. C:/"Program Files"/whatever

[kind hatch]

I don't think it actually does. You can just surround the path with quotation marks. It works for most languages too.

[kind hatch]

Surround the entire path with quotation marks.
"C:/path/to/your/file"

[modest garnet]

worked

[harsh rose]

hey guys, I have my Listener registered but it breaks when I extend JavaPlugin like this:

public class miscEvents extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerStep(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
        event.getPlayer().sendMessage("Message");
    }
}

[modest garnet]

thanks

[harsh rose]

but when I remove the extend, it works fine

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, you don't have to extend JavaPlugin. Only one class in your plugin should extend this class

Your listener should just implement Listener

[harsh rose]

ohh I see

so then if I have something like this: ```java
public class miscEvents implements Listener {
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerStep(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
event.getPlayer().sendMessage("You have stepped");
new BukkitRunnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
event.getPlayer().getLocation().subtract(0, 1, 0).getBlock().setType(Material.AIR); }
}.runTaskTimer(this, 0, 5);
}
}

[worldly ingot]

If you need JavaPlugin methods, you can pass through an instance of your class in the constructor and assign it to a field

public class MyListener implements Listener {

    private final MyMainClass plugin;

    public MyListener(MyMainClass plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }

}```

Then you can refer to plugin instead

[harsh rose]

oohhhh

I seeee. Thank you thank you!

[worldly ingot]

When you create an instance of your listener, you'll need to give it an argument now. The instance of your plugin class

If you're constructing it in the plugin class, you can just pass this

[lime moat]

How could I get the player's uuid from Player player = event.getPlayer();?

[kind hatch]

Player#getUniqueId()

[lost matrix]

getUniqueId()

[lime moat]

Thank you!

One more question, I have Map<UUID, Boolean> resourcePackStatus = new HashMap<>(); set in an event class, how could I get the boolean in a command?

I've never worked with this type of stuff before, so this is all quite new to me haha

[kind hatch]

Map#get() will return the value of the given key.

So if your player UUID is the key, use Map#get(<playerUUID>) and you will get the boolean tied to them.

[lost matrix]

Create a manager class of which only one instance exists that contains the map. Pass this manager to both the listener and the command.

[astral isle]

Not sure if this is against the rules like papermc but I am looking for someone that may be able to help me make the core for my Minecraft server what I need done is here https://trello.com/b/XwDZh9gy/ve-core. If you are able to do any of it DM me for more info. I can also pay a tad.

[lime moat]

So, I couldn't just do something like Map.get(player.getUniqueId());?

I need a manager class that somehow passes it to my command?

[lost matrix]

This sounds like you didnt take the time to learn the java basics before jumping into Spigot...

[lime moat]

Yeah, I didn't really get around to arrays and that sort of stuff before doing this :P

[lost matrix]

Its more an issue of object orientation. So your manager class should look something like this

public class ResourcepackManager {

  private final Map<UUID, Boolean> resourcepackStatusMap = new HashMap<>();

  public boolean getStatus(UUID playerId) {
    return resourcepackStatusMap.get(playerId);
  }

  public void setStatus(UUID playerId, boolean status) {
    resourcepackStatusMap.put(playerId, status);
  }

  public void remove(UUID playerId) {
    resourcepackStatusMap.remove(playerId);
  }

}

And in your onEnable you create one instance of that class and pass the same instance to all objects that need it.

  @Override
  public void onEnable() {
    ResourcepackManager resourcepackManager = new ResourcepackManager();
    
    // Pass the manager to a listener
    // Pass the manager to a command
  }

And never create a new instance again. Every new instance has its own new HashMap. Use the same instance everywhere.

[lime moat]

Okay, so to pass the manager to a command, would it look similar to this? getCommand("god").setExecutor(new GodCommand(this, resourcepackManager));

[lost matrix]

Yes. It should be passed through the constructor.
This is called dependency injection. 👍

[desert frigate]

how do i check if a water is flowing?

or lava

[lime moat]

Okay maybe two more questions... sorry!

I have ```java
public class ResourcePackManager {

private final Map<UUID, Boolean> resourcepackStatusMap = new HashMap<>();

public static boolean getStatus(UUID playerId) {
    return resourcepackStatusMap.get(playerId);
}

public void setStatus(UUID playerId, boolean status) {
    resourcepackStatusMap.put(playerId, status);
}

public void remove(UUID playerId) {
    resourcepackStatusMap.remove(playerId);
}

}``` in my ResourcePackManager.class, it's telling me that I should make it static. Non-static field 'resourcepackStatusMap' cannot be referenced from a static context

Would this hurt anything? Just so I don't mess anything else up 😅

[lost matrix]

Yes. Dont make anything static here. Dont use a static context to call those methods.

[lost matrix]

You mean the action of flowing from one block to another?

[lime moat]

Wait, now I'm getting a few mixed things. public static boolean getStatus I remove static from this too?

[quaint mantle]

@lost matrix could you code me a plugin for $$. Not too hard

[undone axle]

If you wish to request or offer development/art/building/administration services, please do so at https://www.spigotmc.org/forums/services-recruitment-v2.54/

Gotcha, okay, thank you! I'll finish what I'm trying to do :D

[lost matrix]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/block/BlockFromToEvent.html

[lime moat]

One more thing, I'm so sorry 😅 java Boolean test = ResourcePackManager.getStatus(player.getUniqueId()); is how I would assume to get the status, but I'm now receiving this error: java Non-static method 'getStatus(java.util.UUID)' cannot be referenced from a static context

well im doing java inv.setItem(0, blank); inv.setItem(1, blank); inv.setItem(2, blank); inv.setItem(3, blank); inv.setItem(4, blank); inv.setItem(5, blank); inv.setItem(6, blank); inv.setItem(7, blank); inv.setItem(8, blank); inv.setItem(9, blank); inv.setItem(17, blank); inv.setItem(18, blank); inv.setItem(26, blank); inv.setItem(27, blank); inv.setItem(35, blank); inv.setItem(36, blank); inv.setItem(37, blank); inv.setItem(38, blank); inv.setItem(42, blank); inv.setItem(43, blank); inv.setItem(44, blank); and there has to be a way of improving this

maybe adding numbers to a list and looping that list?

[lost matrix]

Let me introduce you to for loops

[drowsy helm]

use a for loop dude

[quaint mantle]

public static String format(Double value) {
        DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat("0.##");
        if (value > 0) {
            String data = "NGTN,,90\\.OTGN,,87\\.STGN,,84\\.HNGT,,81\\.QTGTN,,78\\.QTGT,,75\\.TGT,,72\\.DGT,,69\\.UG,,66\\.V,,63\\.NVD,,60\\.OD,,57\\.SPT,,54\\.HD,,51\\.QTD,,48\\.QTW,,45\\.TD,,42\\.DD,,39\\.UD,,36\\.D,,33\\.N,,30\\.OCT,,27\\.SP,,24\\.HT,,21\\.QT,,18\\.Q,,15\\.T,,12\\.B,,9\\.M,,6\\.K,,3";
            for (String str : data.split("\\.")) {
                String[] output = str.replace("\\", "").split(",,");
                if (value >= Math.pow(10, Integer.parseInt(output[1]))) {
                    return decimalFormat.format(value / Math.pow(10, Integer.parseInt(output[1]))) + output[0];
                }
            }
        }
        return decimalFormat.format(value);
    }``` ik it ain't the best im going to remake this some time in the future but it works

[quaint mantle]

r u developing for paid plugins at the moment?

Like you code a plugin that I pay u for?

[severe oak]

for loop and spread operator for your parameter

[quaint mantle]

ik loops

[lost matrix]

Is it for 1.8?

[drowsy helm]

    public static String formatDouble(double value) {
        String[] suffixes = {"K", "M", "B", "T", "Qad", "Qin", "Sext", "Sept", "Oct", "Non", "Dec", "Und", "Duod", "Tred", "Quat", "Quind", "Sexd", "Septe", "Octo", "Nov", "Vigin"};
        if(value > 1000) {
            for (int pwr = 3; pwr <= 63; pwr += 3) {
                int index = (pwr / 3) - 1;

                double powVal = Math.pow(10, pwr);
                if (value < powVal) {
                    String str = String.format("%.2f" + suffixes[index - 1], value / Math.pow(10, pwr - 3));
                    str = str.replace(".00", "");
                    return str;
                }
            }
        }

        String str = String.format("%.0f", value);
        str = str.replace(".00", "");
        return str;
    }```
this is mine if you want it

much more readable

[quaint mantle]

yes

[lost matrix]

Then hell no. Who even uses that version anymore?

[quaint mantle]

lmao everyone

pvpers/hypixel players

[modest garnet]

is there a ready made plugin for this

[quaint mantle]

a lot of ppl

[lost matrix]

?1.8

[undone axle]

https://howoldisminecraft188.today/

[compact haven]

xd

"everyone"

[quaint mantle]

lmao

[severe oak]

1.8 bad

[quaint mantle]

non

[crisp steeple]

i dont see a lot of people developing for hypixel though

[quaint mantle]

😢

[drowsy helm]

idk but if its a vault impl shouild take you 10 mins to do

[quaint mantle]

Its a practice server

for hypixel kinda'

[stoic oar]

why not just practice in hypixel

[lost matrix]

Is there a reason why you dont want to use external libraries for guis?
Creating properly working and well performing guis is not easy.

[quaint mantle]

well i would rather

you got one?

i couldn't find one that satisfied me 😆

[compact haven]

cufp are you actually looking for a developer?

[drowsy helm]

if you wanna get good at oop making your own inv system is good

[lost matrix]

There are plenty. Triumph for example.

https://mf.mattstudios.me/triumph-gui/types/gui

Its decent

[quaint mantle]

I didn't see this

[lost matrix]

I personally dont use any libs

[quaint mantle]

thanks i'll try it out

[quaint mantle]

I'll try this one, and i may make my own in the future

[lost matrix]

Thats a good plan

[quaint mantle]

how big is the dependency. i dont want my plugin super big

[lost matrix]

Its not too bad i think.

But it depends on adventure chat

[quaint mantle]

one sec, let me build the plugin and see

800kb

with minimizeJar as true it went down to like 50kb

what does that even do

ik it works but does it remove any essentials

[drowsy helm]

removes common dependencies

well, merges them

[quaint mantle]

I c

[vale veldt]

In which version of spigot does the ComponentBuilder() change to Text() of the TextComponent?

[quaint mantle]

Why the hate amongst protocollib?

[glossy scroll]

removes any common dependencies, it will also remove any class files that aren't loaded by the class loader

typically if you use a sql driver you can't use minimizeJar without some extra maven config, maven cant detect all use cases

[glossy scroll]

finally someone who understands lol!

except i cant completely say i do the same lol

i use protocollib, libsdisguises mostly

and then i have like an nbt thing i forked

[quaint mantle]

why is it making 2 original ones

but not the one that i need

[lost matrix]

ProtocolLib is the only spigot dependency i have

[desert frigate]

is it possible to set data for a block like persistentDataContainer?

[quaint mantle]

nvm, fixed it

[lost matrix]

Only if the Block is a TileState (Furnace, Dropper, Barrel etc)
Otherwise you need an external library for that.

[desert frigate]

does that include chest?

[fading lake]

Does anyone know how to get (in spigot) or how minecraft creates the DAT files created for itemstacks in saved inventories?

[compact haven]

You mean the method MC uses to turn ItemStacks into NBT?

[glossy scroll]

clarify a bit more?

[lost matrix]

The format is called nbt

[glossy scroll]

do you mean the NBT data or the file itself?

[fading lake]

this, didn't know which to refer to it as lol

[fading lake]

yes

[compact haven]

there's methods for it in CraftItemStack iirc

let me see if I can get it

[lost matrix]

    net.minecraft.world.item.ItemStack item = ...;
    CompoundTag nbtTag = new CompoundTag();
    item.save(nbtTag);
    String data = nbtTag.getAsString();

[glossy scroll]

(thats nms itemstack btw)

`

    public static final class ItemStackJsonSerializer implements JsonSerializer<ItemStack>, JsonDeserializer<ItemStack> {
        @Override
        public JsonElement serialize(ItemStack src, Type typeOfSrc, JsonSerializationContext context) {
            return new JsonPrimitive(CraftItemStack.asNMSCopy(src).save(new CompoundTag()).getAsString());
        }

        @Override
        public ItemStack deserialize(JsonElement json, Type typeOfT, JsonDeserializationContext context) throws JsonParseException {
            try {
                String asString = json.getAsJsonPrimitive().getAsString();
                CompoundTag compoundTag = TagParser.parseTag(asString);
                net.minecraft.world.item.ItemStack nmsStack = net.minecraft.world.item.ItemStack.of(compoundTag);
                return CraftItemStack.asCraftMirror(nmsStack);
            } catch (CommandSyntaxException e) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException(e);
            }
        }
    }```

a gson deserializer i made

using that concept

[lost matrix]

You can also make one that is version independent

[glossy scroll]

how so

[lost matrix]

class ItemStackAdapter : JsonSerializer<ItemStack>, JsonDeserializer<ItemStack> {

    override fun serialize(src: ItemStack, typeOfSrc: Type, context: JsonSerializationContext): JsonElement {
        val outputStream = ByteArrayOutputStream()
        val dataOutput = BukkitObjectOutputStream(outputStream)
        dataOutput.writeObject(src)
        dataOutput.close()
        return JsonPrimitive(Base64Coder.encodeLines(outputStream.toByteArray()))
    }

    override fun deserialize(json: JsonElement, typeOfT: Type, context: JsonDeserializationContext): ItemStack {
        val inputStream = ByteArrayInputStream(Base64Coder.decodeLines(json.asJsonPrimitive.asString))
        val dataInput = BukkitObjectInputStream(inputStream)
        val itemStack = dataInput.readObject() as ItemStack
        dataInput.close()
        return itemStack
    }
}

Using BukkitObjectOutputStream

[compact haven]

yep, all of these work

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/core/src/main/java/com/jeff_media/jefflib/ItemSerializer.java#L33 you've also got this if you dont need Gson serializers

[glossy lily]

how does one get multiple worlds on one server

[glossy scroll]

well first of all kotlin (ew) and second of all base64 (ew)

[glossy lily]

(i dont want to use a 34d party plugin)

[glossy lily]

kotlin is ok

[glossy scroll]

yea but i dont like using it

[glossy lily]

yea it needs a little improvement

[glossy scroll]

well i dont care about any of that its just personal preference

i find it to be hard to understand and read haha

[lost matrix]

Just create a new World

Bukkit.createWorld(WorldCreator.name("CoolWorld"));

If the world folder already exists then its loaded

[glossy scroll]

Bukkit.getWorlds

[glossy lily]

how would you force a player into that world

[lost matrix]

Teleport

lol

Trivial example

    Player player = ...;
    World world = Bukkit.createWorld(WorldCreator.name("CoolWorld"));
    player.teleport(world.getSpawnLocation());

[glossy lily]

can you specify maps for that world?

[glossy scroll]

maps?

[glossy lily]

sorry

like

have it copy the map of a previous world

like

[glossy scroll]

i maen sure

[lost matrix]

Just copy a world folder

[glossy scroll]

you just need to get rid of the uid and session.lock

[lost matrix]

^ And that too.
I would delete them on your template worlds in the first place.

[glossy scroll]

yes

i wish world loading was async...

its my lifelong dream

[lost matrix]

Yeah. Spigot does a lot of IO on the main thread.
Ive gotten it to 20 - 30ms by disabling loading the spawn chunks and having a decent nvme ssd on my root server.
But still...

[glossy scroll]

20-30ms ?

[lost matrix]

Best case

Sometimes the hard drive is working then it can get up to 150ms

[glossy scroll]

by disabling spawn chunks

u mean

    @EventHandler
    public void onWorldInit(WorldInitEvent event) {
        World world = event.getWorld();
        world.setKeepSpawnInMemory(false);
        world.setAutoSave(false);
    }

[lost matrix]

yeah

[lost matrix]

You can also specify this in the WorldCreator now iirc

[glossy scroll]

oh

thats good to know

idts @lost matrix unless thats paper

[lost matrix]

Might be fork

[glossy scroll]

is that 1.19.1+

im on 1.19

[lost matrix]

Nah i thinks its paper stuff

[glossy scroll]

oh i realized

that code snippet...

was not in a listener

now that i moved it, i do see a performance boost

[desert frigate]

Inventory chestInventory = ((Chest) chest).getInventory();
                             for(final ItemStack item : chestInventory) {

                             }``` would i need to use chestInventory.all() or would this work as well?

[lost matrix]

Inventory implements Iterable<ItemStack>
So you can do your for loops and forEach calls

[desert frigate]

awesome

[harsh rose]

PlayerMoveEvent keeps getting triggered. Whats best way to check if player moved to a new block? My idea was to store the int of blockX and blockY but that'll disappear immediately since the code will finish running

or is there something better than PlayerMoveEvent for my case?

[glossy scroll]

There’s a from and to method

You can compare the from and to locations

[harsh rose]

ooh?

thanks! I'll try that

[lost matrix]

This is the best performing way i came across so far

  @EventHandler
  public void onMove(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
    Location from = event.getFrom();
    Location to = event.getTo();

    if(to == null) {
      return;
    }
    
    int fromX = from.getBlockX();
    int fromY = from.getBlockY();
    int fromZ = from.getBlockZ();

    int toX = to.getBlockX();
    int toY = to.getBlockY();
    int toZ = to.getBlockZ();

    if(fromX == toX && fromY == toY && fromZ == toZ) {
      return;
    }

    // Player moved from one block to another
  }

[harsh rose]

Thanks!

I'll try that

[quaint mantle]

Why is getLogger().log(Level.FINE, "text"); not working in some cases in my onEnable?

[drowsy helm]

cant you just check from.distance(to) > 1?

[lost matrix]

No

Wouldnt work and would also be very expensive

[drowsy helm]

yeah fair

[lost matrix]

you can move very slowly from one block to another. 0.000001 per tick.
You only want to detect when movement crosses a block border. Doesnt matter at which speed.

[drowsy helm]

ah yeah you're right

[obsidian drift]

What would be the best way to implement a feature where when wearing, for example, a diamond helmet it would give the player an extra heart? And when they take it off they loose the heart.

[lost matrix]

For this exact case you can just add an attribute modifier to the helmet and give it health.

[obsidian drift]

What's the attribute modifier called?

I was thinking GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH but I thought that was only for entities

[lost matrix]

One moment

[lost matrix]

    ItemStack helmet = new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_HELMET);
    ItemMeta meta = helmet.getItemMeta();
    meta.addAttributeModifier(Attribute.GENERIC_MOVEMENT_SPEED, new AttributeModifier("move-boost", 0.2, AttributeModifier.Operation.MULTIPLY_SCALAR_1));
    meta.addAttributeModifier(Attribute.GENERIC_ATTACK_DAMAGE, new AttributeModifier("damage-boost", 0.35, AttributeModifier.Operation.MULTIPLY_SCALAR_1));
    meta.addAttributeModifier(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH, new AttributeModifier("health-boost", 4, AttributeModifier.Operation.ADD_NUMBER));
    meta.setDisplayName("§6Helmet of rush");
    helmet.setItemMeta(meta);

Usually you would specify an equipment slot for the AttributeModifier

[obsidian drift]

Thanks, but how do I make it so it's only When on Head?

[lost matrix]

Usually you would specify an equipment slot for the AttributeModifier

[obsidian drift]

Okay thanks

[quaint mantle]

how would i set a placeholder?

because im getting the placeholder

but how do i remove like 2500 from it

[lost matrix]

Are you talking about placeholder api?

[quaint mantle]

yeah because im using placeholders for their balance

double economy = Double.parseDouble(PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(e.getPlayer(), GenCorePlus.getYaml().getString("money.type")));```

but it could be any placeholder if its a number

so how would i remove from it?

[lost matrix]

A placeholder is not a number. You cant just subtract a number from a placeholder...

[quaint mantle]

well how would i do that? Like any alternatives

[lost matrix]

You can not subtract a number from a placeholder. Maybe rephrase your question. Be more precise.

[quaint mantle]

okay, how would i get a variable from another plugin then. Because i need a way for them to have configurable balance. Some people might not wanna use vault's api for that

[lost matrix]

Question: "how would i get a variable from another plugin"
Answer: Use their API or if they dont provide one then dig through the code and find the right places to retrieve values from.

[quaint mantle]

hmm, any way to make that more user friendly?

[lost matrix]

Question: " i need a way for them to have configurable balance"
Answer: Who is "them"? This sentence is out of context.

[quaint mantle]

or should i just use vault's api

[quaint mantle]

The users, since my plugin is on spigotmc

[lost matrix]

Some people might not wanna use vault's api for that
For what? What is "that" refering to? And are "Some people" other developers or server administrators?

[quaint mantle]

i would like more configuration since people like that

[lost matrix]

But you cant provide configuration for plugins of other developers

[quaint mantle]

yeahh

ima just stick with vault's api ig

ain't the worst

[lost matrix]

I am still confused as to what you are trying to achieve in the first place...

[oblique geyser]

How Can I instance inventories per world?

[river oracle]

Database item serialization preferably you could also store the contents in a json file

[lost matrix]

You need to serialize the inventories, store them somewhere and when a player changes a world you simply
set his inventory contents. A Map<UUID, ItemStack[]> for each player that maps the world id to the inventory contents should do just fine.

I would load all inventories as soon as the player joins in a Map<UUID, ItemStack[]>. Loading them
when he changes a world means you need to load them on the main thread.

Or you need to give him the inventory with a small delay of a few hundred ms. Then you can also do it on world change but async.

[boreal sparrow]

If I created a team like this

ScoreboardManager sm = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager();

Scoreboard scoreboard = sm.getNewScoreboard();

Team DinoMine = scoreboard.registerNewTeam("Map1");

//ADD PLAYER TO TEAM
player.setScoreboard(scoreboard);

DinoMine.addEntry(player.getName());

And I check if the player is in that team with
player.getScoreboard().getEntryTeam(player.getName()).equals()
What exactly should I check for

[river oracle]

Ahhh bukkit scoreboard api the most horrific thing on earth.

Well based on your code it looks like the team is the player name

[boreal sparrow]

doesnt getEntryTeam return the team/s the player or thing is on?

[river oracle]

Tbh I'd have to recheck the docs I suck at this stuff gimme a second lol

[boreal sparrow]

lol thanks

[boreal sparrow]

yea, thats how I got it too

[river oracle]

So all you want to do is check if it's null or not then proceed with the knowledge you have the team

[boreal sparrow]

yea

[river oracle]

Personally I use a api called fastboard and constructed my own teams api lol I hate bukkit scoreboards so much

[boreal sparrow]

ikr

i might use that

why is it so complex

to make a team

[river oracle]

It's likely mojangs fault

[boreal sparrow]

yea propobly

ill use a better apii think

thanks

[river oracle]

Fastboard is all packets if your looking for something light weight

Otherwise there are some other neat options outbthere

[boreal sparrow]

yea

fastboards sounds good

ill try it, thanks for your help

[river oracle]

For teams you can just apply a scoreboard and add logic for each team

Could be achieved via a team object

[weary cobalt]

Im having some issues using getOfflinePlayer() to get a Player Head. Keep in mind, the player has not joined the server previously. Is there a better way to do this?

The code:

public void addPlayer(UUID player, Tripair<String,Double,Integer> tripair) {
        
        // Put player and information into a Hashmap (key: UUID)
        players.put(player,tripair);
        
        // Get the time remaining from minutes
        String time = tripair.getThird() != -5 ? ((int) (Math.floor(((double) tripair.getThird()))) / 60) + "h:" + (tripair.getThird() % 60 > 9 ? "" : "0") + tripair.getThird() % 60 + "m" : "§4No bids yet";
        
        // Get player head
        ItemStack head = Heads.get(player,
                "§a" + Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(player)..getName(), 
                List.of("§eActive Bid: §7$" + tripair.getSecond() + "m §8(" + tripair.getFirst() + ")", 
                        "§eTime Left: §7" + time, 
                        "   ", 
                        player.toString()));
        
        // Add ItemStack to GUI
        freeAgencyGUI.gui.addItem(head);
        
        // Add to config
        FreeAgents.addFreeAgent(player,tripair);
        
    }

The issue is "Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(player)..getName()" returning null. I'm not sure how to get around this, as I know the player exists. Is there better way to get a player head from someone who hasent joined?

[river oracle]

If my code wasn't proprietary I'd gladly Share it maybe one day I'll release something

[river oracle]

I use website urls

I don't bother with the offline player bs

If you want a certain skin to always display highly reccomend using Bukkits PlayerProfile api

[weary cobalt]

Yeah the offline player stuff seems pretty dumb, just didnt know a better way of doing it

[river oracle]

Bukkit#createPlayerProfile iirc you can add a skin url and then apply it to the skull

I need to make a resource on this I feel like this is still relatively unknown that It exists

[weary cobalt]

Yeah, I had tried using getOfflinePlayer(player).getPlayerProfile() previously, but obviously that did nothing as the offline player was null.

Should it work just like this?

PlayerProfile playerProfile = Bukkit.createPlayerProfile(player);
String name = playerProfile.getName();

Or would doing it via url still be better for this

[river oracle]

Use createPlayerProfile(UUID.random()

Don't provide a player

Than provide skin data to it

[weary cobalt]

"player" is a uuid, I had just named it player

[river oracle]

Is it random

[weary cobalt]

no it's not

[river oracle]

You shouldn't use a players uiid just make a random one

[weary cobalt]

Alright so-

create a PlayerProfile with a random uuid, attach the player skin via a url, then attach that skin to the head?

[river oracle]

Yep

[river oracle]

https://minecraft-heads.com/

[weary cobalt]

How would using minecraft-heads.com work for using a 'casual' player head? Such as a friend of mine or a specific user thats not on that website.

[river oracle]

Not well but that's just good for custom gimmicky stuff

[viral marten]

hello everyone

opinions on java

[river oracle]

We all code in it so

Idk what you expect

[weary cobalt]

Yea i dont think we have a choice but to use java lmfao

[river oracle]

You can technically use any jvm language

[viral marten]

or technically kotlin can be used

[drowsy helm]

just use base64 textures

[river oracle]

base64 is just the encoded url base64 isn't supported via player profiles

[drowsy helm]

as a whole, great langauge. Not great for low level stuff

[drowsy helm]

yes it is

[viral marten]

idk

for me java hurts my brain a lot

[river oracle]

I've only seen url

[viral marten]

i prefer rust

[river oracle]

Unless it was updated

[viral marten]

o-o

[drowsy helm]

its always been like that

create a fake player profile

apply base 64 texture and signature

done

[river oracle]

Bukkits player profile api is relatively new

[drowsy helm]

you're talking aobut GameProfile right

[river oracle]

No

PlayerProfile from bukkit api

It's new

[drowsy helm]

ah

[weary cobalt]

Would this work? https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/how-to-create-heads-with-custom-base64-texture.352562/

[river oracle]

Again why I should make a resource it's super useful

[river oracle]

I reccomend using bukkit api for it but go ahead

[drowsy helm]

 public ItemBuilder skullTexture(String base64Texture, String sign) {

        SkullMeta headMeta = (SkullMeta) this.item.getItemMeta();

        GameProfile profile = new GameProfile(UUID.randomUUID(), "");
        profile.getProperties().put("textures", new Property("textures", base64Texture, sign));

        Field profileField = null;

        try {
            profileField = headMeta.getClass().getDeclaredField("profile");
            profileField.setAccessible(true);
            profileField.set(headMeta, profile);
        } catch (NoSuchFieldException | IllegalArgumentException | IllegalAccessException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }

        this.item.setItemMeta(headMeta);
        return this;
    }
    }```
you can use that if you need Tias

[weary cobalt]

Alright, thank you! What do I put in for the sign parameter?

[drowsy helm]

if you want to pull a player's signature you can use sessionserver.mojang.com/session/minecraft/profile/UUID

https://sessionserver.mojang.com/session/minecraft/profile/353c5ad7702f436d88e3394e098d58be?unsigned=false my profile for eg

pretty sure you can leave signature out iirc

[lost matrix]

You can do that with the spigot api now

[weary cobalt]

I've just figured out quite the odd workaround since I was having a bit of a hard time understanding the profile stuff. Copy and pasted my playerdata folder from a server that the players I wanted had joined before, and put it into my 'world' playerdata folder. It worked. Although, it would probably be useful to figure this stuff out, in the case it decides to break at some point

[boreal sparrow]

Anyone know how to create a team with Fastboards?

[lost matrix]

  public ItemStack texturedSkull(URL skinUrl) {
    ItemStack head = new ItemStack(Material.PLAYER_HEAD);
    SkullMeta meta = (SkullMeta) head.getItemMeta();
    PlayerProfile profile = Bukkit.createPlayerProfile("_SOME_NAME_");
    PlayerTextures textures = profile.getTextures();
    textures.setSkin(skinUrl);
    meta.setOwnerProfile(profile);
    head.setItemMeta(meta);
    return head;
  }

[river oracle]

Doesn't support teams you'd have to make your own api for thay

But teams are easy enough to make

[eternal oxide]

The only issue with using PlayerProfile is, every one gets added to the servers usercache.

You must be careful not to create too many, although they do expire in three? months.

they still remain in teh cache

[lost matrix]

Its a fixed number. I think the default is 10k

[weary cobalt]

Does this method work for players that have not joined the server previously?

[lost matrix]

This method doesnt need any players

[boreal sparrow]

But wouldn’t i have to use the built in bukkit api for that

Becuase if i do, i’d die

[river oracle]

No just make your own api

Classes and events

Teams are a simple concept

[boreal sparrow]

Bukkit doesnt seem to think so

[chrome beacon]

What's the problem?

Teams aren't hard

[river oracle]

The scoreboard api sucks and i reccomended an alternative option is all

[boreal sparrow]

Yea

Thats true

Except i just cant find a good api for that

and i have no clue how to make my own lmao

[chrome beacon]

Did your team break another plugin?

[river oracle]

I'm a minigame dev lol so I guess it's easier said then done

[boreal sparrow]

No, the bukkit scoreboard api is just so confusing, like, for example, why the hell do i need a scoreboard in the first place? I just want a team to divide players into

[river oracle]

Oh if you want teams only

Just make it yourself don't bother with fastboard even

[chrome beacon]

Well that's just how vanilla works

Blame Mojang

[boreal sparrow]

Yea so thats why im looking to create a api

[boreal sparrow]

Yea, fastboards works well for scoreboards, but sucks for teams

Ill check what and how to make an api

Thanks for your help

[river oracle]

Well each player can have a profile cache the profile and store what team the player is on you could also use these classes to store other game info

A more longterm solution is a file storage or pdc

[chrome beacon]

Making your own api will still need that scoreboard

[river oracle]

Not really

[chrome beacon]

It will

[river oracle]

If you just ditch bukkit completely and set up your own teams and logic no bullshit

It's what I do

[chrome beacon]

So you use nms

[river oracle]

Nope

I use events

I don't even use nms teams

[boreal sparrow]

.-.

[chrome beacon]

Somethings require teams

[river oracle]

Like?

[chrome beacon]

Events can't do it all

Messing with nametags, collision

Etc

[boreal sparrow]

im just trying to divide players into three maps

[chrome beacon]

Then skip the Teams API

[river oracle]

I just use other apis for the name tag stuff lol

[chrome beacon]

So they use teams

[river oracle]

Collision is math not teams

[chrome beacon]

Collision is clientside

(For players)

Which is why you need teams

[river oracle]

If I ever need them I'll go use nms and figure out a better abstraction but thus far haven't needed them

Everything I need is managed by my custom team object

[chrome beacon]

I've done teams with packets and spigot api before

Just make a system that uses the spigot api

It will be easier to maintain

[boreal sparrow]

True, but then u still need to use the spigot api

[river oracle]

Eh I'm not to worried about maintaining a team's api if I actually use it

I'll die by considering that scoreboard api horrific at best

[chrome beacon]

Well you still need to do the same things just without the spigot api

[river oracle]

The goal would be to see if I can find a better abstraction to make it easier and more understandable on an nms level versus navigating the scoreboard hell hole spigot offers

[boreal sparrow]

Yes

[chrome beacon]

And then make sure you don't break spigot plugins

It's more work than just using the existing one

[cosmic fjord]

why do some dependencies that worked in 2017 do not work anymore for the same plugin?

[chrome beacon]

If you want to make an api do that but use the spigot api internally

[river oracle]

Sometimes work is required to make a good product

[river oracle]

Moved repo out of date etc etc

New versions

Removal of old versions

[cosmic fjord]

what can I do?

[river oracle]

Nothing

[chrome beacon]

Well it depends on what the problem is

[river oracle]

He wasn't descriptive enough so generally nothing is the correct answer

[chrome beacon]

We have no info to work with

?notworking

[undone axle]

"Does not working" is a useless statement. Please describe what exactly is not working, what you expect it to do, and what actually happens. If you get any console errors, also ?paste the entire stacktrace.

[echo basalt]

well

you can update the outdated code by yourself

[chrome beacon]

^

[shadow zinc]

Anyone use tabnine and does it help your workflow?

[chrome beacon]

Yes and no

Use github co-pilot or nothing

[rotund ravine]

Copilot is great tabnine less so

[shadow zinc]

Yes but copilot is going to not be so free soon

[rotund ravine]

Worthy investment

[onyx fjord]

override fun 😭

[supple elk]

is onDisable() called on reload?

[onyx fjord]

well, you kinda pay for using free code samples 😂

including yours

[rotund ravine]

Yes

[supple elk]

ok ty

[shadow zinc]

Does setdefaults set comments for config files?

Also can anyone recommend come good data managers for config files

[boreal sparrow]

Will all players have access/permission to execute my command is I didn’t specify any permission needed?

[shadow zinc]

normally yes

unless you defined a default permission in your config file

default-permission: op```

[boreal sparrow]

Nah, ok thanks

[tender shard]

tried it, was just shit

copilot is the only thing that properly works and is actually helpful

[shadow zinc]

damn, I might have to get a job

[tender shard]

lol

[shadow zinc]

nah jk, github copiot is basically an auto stackoverflow copy and paste tool.

[quaint mantle]

I tried something with Raytrace but failed. How can I find where an item or entity thrown with the Dispenser will end up?

[tender shard]

you cannot raytrace that, you have to calculate the trajectory basically

[shadow zinc]

rip, just cancel the event and spawn it a location

[tender shard]

it's really not that easy lol

[shadow zinc]

that might be a lib out there that simplifies that

have a look

[tender shard]

well another idea would be to make the item invisible, wait until isOnGround is true, and then you know where it ends up lmao

[quaint mantle]

even if i find the trajectory the trajectory may contain obstructions.

how to check?

[tender shard]

yeah you'd have to scan every full block that's on that path

[shadow zinc]

wait just detect the item being dropped and start a runnable

test every second to see if its on the ground or not

[tender shard]

what are you actually trying to do anyway?

[quaint mantle]

There are things that have a very long range. (fireball)

[tender shard]

why do you need the hypothetical end location in the moment when it's dispensed?

[quaint mantle]

What I'm trying to do is prevent items or fireballs from entering the chunk I want.

[eternal oxide]

a simple timer will do then

[quaint mantle]

Won't it cause lags?

[shadow zinc]

no?

[tender shard]

I'd add all currently thrown entities to a set or something. then check every tick if that entity is in your chunk, if yes, kill it. after 5 seconds or so, remove them from the set again

[eternal oxide]

unless you are going to track 10's of thousands of items in motion over multiple chunks, no

[shadow zinc]

it shouldn't if you aren't calculating the mass of the sun

[tender shard]

its funny how people always think "this might cause lag"

they should just look at the Entity#tick method

[shadow zinc]

nvm that would still be fine

[tender shard]

or ServerLevel#tick

[quaint mantle]

The reason I'm thinking about this is because there will be a lot of fireballs going towards infinity.

[shadow zinc]

how many fireballs are you thinking there will be?

[eternal oxide]

Short lived and not thousands

[tender shard]

they cant go to infinity

[shadow zinc]

yeah they despawn after a while

[quaint mantle]

Then I will listen for the spawn event and loop the item until it drops

[tender shard]

I wonder what happened if the earth would suddenyl have the mass of the sun

[tender shard]

let me start universe sandbox and find out

[shadow zinc]

hmm, I'm not sure, I wouldn't put that in a timer tho

[eternal oxide]

we would instantly be crushed by gravity, I guess

[quaint mantle]

is it correct?

[shadow zinc]

The sun is about 1,000 times more massive than Jupiter, and I know for a fact that jupiter would crush you

[eternal oxide]

the world would also flood as all land mass would be hyper compressed

[shadow zinc]

that should be good

[cosmic fjord]

I dont know how to explain it correctly. I want to add a dependency but maven cant resolve the dependency. its a plugin so can I use the jar and put it in the lib directory to get it work?

[eternal oxide]

no

wel, you can, but you will break it

[shadow zinc]

install it using maven

[eternal oxide]

what dependency?

[cosmic fjord]

ProtocolLib-API

[eternal oxide]

thats in maven, add it properly

[cosmic fjord]

trough dependencies?

[shadow zinc]

did you add the repo?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[cosmic fjord]

Im getting the error Cannot resolve com.comphenix.protocol:ProtocolLib-API:4.4.0

[eternal oxide]

it searches all repos in order, for every dependency

[shadow zinc]

Can order actually cause a problem?

[eternal oxide]

no

other than change teh order of warnings

[tender shard]

it'd fuck up our solar system pretty much lol

[onyx fjord]

did u add plib repo?

btw use 5.0

[cosmic fjord]

I add this one

[eternal oxide]

ServerLevel not level

[shadow zinc]

Lol the planets knew what was coming and got the fuck out of there

[tender shard]

lmao yeah

[dry forum]

alright thanks but it still says its a worldserver to serverlevel

[eternal oxide]

an ItemStack is not a List, it can;t be cast

[onyx fjord]

use ProtocolLib artifact, not ProtocolLib-API

[quaint mantle]

player.playerConfig.set("inventory", inventory.getContents());

it should be a list.

[tender shard]

WorldServer are the fake names

Mokang Mappings, it's called ServerLevel

[dry forum]

yeah ik but the code i sent it says its a worldserver not a serverlevel

[eternal oxide]

that is not the line thats throwing the error

[dry forum]

so idk how to fix that

[cosmic fjord]

Could not find artifact com.comphenix.protocol:ProtocolLib:pom:5.0 in paperspigot-repo

I really have no idea what to do

[tender shard]

add the protocollib repo

[onyx fjord]

i think its 5.0-SNAPSHOT

or 5.0.0-SNAPSHOT

[onyx fjord]

he has the repo

[shadow zinc]

If your maven dependencies and repositories match when I sent you and its still happening, delete your .m2 folder and redownload your dependencies

[tender shard]

there is no 5.0-SNAPSHOT

there is 5.0.0-SNAPSHOT though

[onyx fjord]

.

[cosmic fjord]

where can I find this folder?

[tender shard]

it's pointless to look into that folder, just use the correct version

anyway it's in your home folder/.m2/repository

[shadow zinc]

C:\Users\{your-username}\.m2\repository.

assuming you use windows

[onyx fjord]

why delete it ...

[shadow zinc]

I had to delete mine because my school corrupted all the server certificates. I deleted all the server certificates but the error persisted until I deleted the .m2

Could be another cause for their case, good to cover all bases.

[tender shard]

you could also just have done mvn clean package -U to retry to download snapshots

it's simply not working for this dude because they keep using 5.0 instead of 5.0.0

[shadow zinc]

Intellij does recommend that with a link in the errors sometimes

Also could you recommend a good data manager for config files

I want to create my own but I need some inspiration

[tender shard]

is there anything that's missing in the builtin YamlConfiguration class?

[shadow zinc]

proper error handling

[tender shard]

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/core/src/main/java/com/jeff_media/jefflib/data/Config.java

I usually just extend YamlConfiguration

then I just do new("someFile.yml")

it loads the defaults from the plugins resources, then saves it as default config if not done yet, and tries to load it. if there's an error, ofc it also can't do much

I mean what do you mean with "proper error handling"

[onyx fjord]

something ignores my gradle home 😭

[tender shard]

if a yaml is broken, you can't read it

[shadow zinc]

I don't know much about how YamlConfiguration operates in that regard but personally I like to throw a couple things at an error to try to remedy it for a throw an exception

Also a config manager makes life a bit easier for some

[tender shard]

but wdym with "config manager"?

[shadow zinc]

config/data manager

[tender shard]

yeah what is it supposed to do

[shadow zinc]

manage setting defaults, getting strings, constructing the file if it doesn't exist etc

[dry forum]

anyone?

[tender shard]

use mojang mappings

[eternal oxide]

cast it

[shadow zinc]

Mojang mapping will save you a lot of bother if you do a lot of work with NMS

[onyx fjord]

why do they obfuscate the fking game

[shadow zinc]

bruh I just did a google search for NMS and I found your blog

[dry forum]

alrighjt that works thanks is there anyway to check what a method changed to in a version?

[eternal oxide]

just common sense

[tender shard]

https://nms.screamingsandals.org/

set the search to "Spigot", then you can enter the "old" class name and it will show you the new names

[dry forum]

.setPosition in 1.19.2 but in 1.18.2 its just a, c and crap

[eternal oxide]

you are not using Mopjang mappings

[shadow zinc]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[tender shard]

yeah, that's because you didnt use mojang mappings in 1.18.2

[dry forum]

when i use mappings all the net. imports dont work

[shadow zinc]

run build tools

[dry forum]

also i am

[shadow zinc]

for 1.18.2

[dry forum]

<version>1.18.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
<classifier>remapped-mojang</classifier>
</dependency>

[eternal oxide]

they are all fine, you just use teh Mojang mapped ones

[tender shard]

for example, check out the ServerLevel information:

you can see that the getRecipeManager() is called q() in spigot

and getTagManager() in mojang mappings, is r() in spigot/obfuscated mappings()

[dry forum]

when i put setPosition in on the website nothing happens

*pos

[tender shard]

pls just read this @dry forum and do everything exactly like this, and remove all your spigot dependencies

[tender shard]

you have to enter the class name

where setPosition is declared

[dry forum]

how am i gonna know where that is

[tender shard]

how could you not know that when you use it? o0

you can't just do .setPosition randomly

you must have an object to call this on

[dry forum]

oh i thought u mean minecraft class on the website?

[tender shard]

yeah, that's what I mean

[boreal sparrow]

Is there a way to constantly check a boolean? Like a while true loop?

[dry forum]

how am i gonna know what class mojang put the setPos method in

[shadow zinc]

whats this for?

[tender shard]

?

[tender shard]

the question makes no sense really

[dry forum]

you said i need to know the class the method is called in

[tender shard]

you currently have a class, let's say BlockPos. You use getPos on it. So you know that the class is called BlockPos and that's what you enter on that site

there are probably like 200 classes that have a setPos method

how am I gonna know which one you are talking about

[dry forum]

i dont understand why would i type my class name in on the website how is the website gonna know what classes i use

[boreal sparrow]

I want to check if a player is in water, i always used the player move event, but surely there must be a better way

[tender shard]

ughm what

[shadow zinc]

Player move event is fine

[tender shard]

bro

[shadow zinc]

The alternative would be a runnable, but that would actually not great compared to player move event

[boreal sparrow]

It is sorta ok, but when you place water beneath you and dont move, oc nothing happens

[tender shard]

you wanna switch from obfuscated/spigot to mojang mappings. so e.g. you used WorldServer right now. Then you enter WorldServer on that site, and click on it. now it tells you "WorldServer is actualled called ServerLevel, and the method "WorldServer#a()" is actually called "ServerLevel#addEntity()" etc

[dry forum]

yes

[boreal sparrow]

Oh no not runnables, and its checking when a player falls into water so it should be fine

[shadow zinc]

Using a runnable in this instance would be alright, there isn't really any other simple alternative to check for that

a place block event maybe, but water spreads so that wouldn't work

[dry forum]

oh wait i get it now sorry

[boreal sparrow]

Dumb question (new to java) why cant you just use a while true loop

[dry forum]

https://nms.screamingsandals.org/1.19.2/net/minecraft/world/entity/decoration/ArmorStand.html setpos isnt on here though

[tender shard]

yeah, that's because setPos isn't declared on the ArmorStand, but on the Entity class itself. If you don't find it there, click on "extends LivingEntity" at the top. it won't be there too, so keep going to the super class until you find it (it should be in "Entity")

[shadow zinc]

Because that runs constantly and prevents code under it from running if you aren't threading, it also runs as fast as possible. A runnable is limited to 1 tick

[boreal sparrow]

Ok that makes sence

Thanks

[tender shard]

https://nms.screamingsandals.org/1.19.2/net/minecraft/world/entity/Entity.html

            }
        }.runTaskTimer(NeoPerformance.getInstance(), 0, 1);```

[tender shard]

np! I know it's annoying, that's why you should always use mojang mappings in the beginning, and not switch to it later 😛

[azure dirge]

does anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem
my IntelliJ run with a high cpu usage for no reason
https://i.imgur.com/ak9MXWn.png

[shadow zinc]

An example

[dry forum]

so i should be using a and not setpos?

[tender shard]

noooo, you should be using setPos of course

[dry forum]

oh ok ty

[tender shard]

and the "remapping" part in your pom.xml will then translate it back to a() so that it actually works on the server

[dry forum]

ohh

[tender shard]

so you can use the "fancy names" while coding, but make it still work on the server

because the server .jar itself uses the weird, fucked up names

[dry forum]

ok ty for explaining it lmao i havent really used nms

[tender shard]

you shaded the bukkit api into your plugin

[quaint mantle]

huh

[tender shard]

so you now have two different ItemStack classes

once the server's, once your plugin's

[shadow zinc]

I remember my first time when I did that

do not shade bukkit api 😛

unshade it.

did you import the NMS player in your interface?

        if (player.b != null) player.b.a(packet);

First issue was calling player#closeInventory() does not work...
But having it sent in a task will fix the issue... Till plugin is disabling... When plugin is going to disable it tries to close all open GUIs (To prevent item stealing) but I can not use tasks to close the GUIs...

Any idea how can I fix this?
