[agile anvil]

You're too quick

[quaint mantle]

:)

I find these conversations pretty funny because some time ago I was just like this

[iron glade]

we all been there

SomeClassName

someVariableName

[agile anvil]

someCoolVariable

[quaint mantle]

camelCase for fields and methods, PascalCase for classes

[agile anvil]

thisMethodWillDestroyYourComputer

[ancient plank]

when in doubt just send them the java conventions page

[quaint mantle]

and whoever names their generics lower case is doing war crimes

[mighty aurora]

Quick question. Would the best way to make a sort of dash ability for a player be to use velocity? Also if I wanted that to do damage to entities in the pathway of the dash ability without also damaging the player what would the best method be?

[quaint mantle]

yes

[ancient plank]

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/codeconventions-namingconventions.html

[iron glade]

?naming

[quaint mantle]

fail

[iron glade]

don't we have something like that

[agile anvil]

Velocity is the only way to make it fluid client side

[quaint mantle]

Don't most IDEs these days warn people about naming conventions?

[agile anvil]

And check PlayerMoveEvent to damage players

[iron glade]

IJ does

even checks spelling

[agile anvil]

Yellow errors are nothing ;) 😂

[quaint mantle]

Lol

[ancient plank]

?conventions

[undone axle]

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/codeconventions-namingconventions.html

[tardy delta]

ij isnt saying anything

[iron glade]

nice!

[quaint mantle]

it's an option

yes

[tardy delta]

mhh

[quaint mantle]

It doesn't allow my 'creative' naming 😢

[timid jetty]

so i know we wanna shit on bad code design, any chance I can interrupt and ask if anyone knows of a way to move a player a few blocks without teleporting, like a push so it doesnt look as weird

[mighty aurora]

I wouldn't be damaging the player I want to damage the entities in its path. Would that require setting up a listener for damage and setting up a method of determining whether they are using the dash ability at that time and then cancelling said event?

[mighty aurora]

Velocity

[iron glade]

Push him, as you said

[ancient plank]

vector math go brr

[timid jetty]

linear algebra boutta go off

[agile anvil]

There isn't any listener for that. Listen for player movements, compute it's velocity and check for nearby players

[timid jetty]

with velocity can you force the player in a direction though?

[iron glade]

yea

[quaint mantle]

If there is one thing I could take from C# and use in java, it would probably the ability to define custom operators on classes.

[agile anvil]

For sure

[mighty aurora]

Its based on vectors so yes

[quaint mantle]

yes, velocity has a direction

[ancient plank]

just apply some force and something moves

[quaint mantle]

That and I would change strings to be interned.

[timid jetty]

ah okay

ty

[agile anvil]

No don't make String "primitive"

[quaint mantle]

It would be optional.

[ancient plank]

but then I can't name my String string

smh

[quaint mantle]

lol

[tardy delta]

define custom operators

[quaint mantle]

string @string;

^ is valid naming

[quaint mantle]

name it charArray

[ancient plank]

cringe

[quaint mantle]

for parameters at least

I usually just go with good ol' ```cs
string str;

what I would take from C++ to Java is removing OOB

[lime jolt]

does anyone know how to save file information
like I made a txt file that has all the info
but when the server resets
so does the txt file
that holds all the data

[quaint mantle]

shouldn't you just make a class to store the data?

or something in code

why a txt

[lime jolt]

idk I thought that was the only way

[agile anvil]

?paste your code

[undone axle]

https://paste.md-5.net/

[lime jolt]

there is a lot of code

all the info is in a txt file

[agile anvil]

The text file part

[tardy delta]

lets just use yaml

[lime jolt]

oh wait I know why

[quaint mantle]

YAML is da best

[lime jolt]

Its cause I am dumb

at the very begigng of my code I do this

            FileWriter myWriter = new FileWriter("areas.txt");
            myWriter.close();
        }
        catch(Exception e){}```

clearing everything in the fi;e

file

lmao

ima try fixing that

[tardy delta]

you arent even writing

[agile anvil]

You just open and close :)

[tardy delta]

also use try with resources

[quaint mantle]

oh I thought your question was how to do that 😶

[lime jolt]

oh lol

does anyone know how to check if a file exists

[quaint mantle]

File has a method for checking that

[agile anvil]

I bet File has a method

[quaint mantle]

new File(path).exists() or something like that

[agile anvil]

Gosh you're really too fast

[quaint mantle]

I'm also fast in saying wrong answers so you are not useless xP

lolol

[agile anvil]

Raid 2 answers

[quaint mantle]

lets count

I'm gonna try now

anybody have a question here? pls????

xd

[agile anvil]

😂😂

[desert frigate]

Can someone tell me how they made this? A custom minecraft graphical user interface.

[agile anvil]

Custom resrouce pack with unicode texture

On title or action bar

[desert frigate]

Ohhh

So it's just a title

But how come they said they didn't use any packs

[quaint mantle]

bruh

[leaden knot]

Do i come here for help lmao

[agile anvil]

Read again lmao

[quaint mantle]

That's your choice :D read the channel descriptions to know where to ask

[desert frigate]

Oh 🥱

[leaden knot]

Hope so 😂 so my mc server has aurelium skills my max health goes up but i dont regen anything what can i do

[vivid skiff]

How can i create a book with multiple text lines in it?

[agile anvil]

#help-server wrong channel, here is the dev one

[quaint mantle]

bruh I mistyped

[leaden knot]

Thank you!

[iron glade]

Don't see a comment

[quaint mantle]

I do

what are you trying to achieve

[iron glade]

bruh use // for comments wth this <

[quaint mantle]

An interact event might not have an item.
You can get the Hand the player used, and set the item using the player inventory accordingly

[onyx fjord]

is there some formula to create particle shapes?

[agile anvil]

yes

[onyx fjord]

i suck at math

[quaint mantle]

formula ;-;

[mighty aurora]

How do I calculate a vector/how do I put the vector in the setVelocity piece? I'm setting the players velocity to move them forward a specific distance and I'm not totally sure how I calculate the velocity for the first value of setVelocity

[agile anvil]

What are you trying to achieve ?

[quaint mantle]

I don't think there is a way to make a shape with particles in minecraft, you should just loop over positions and spawn particles to make a shape

[thick scarab]

How to get item on cursor in creative?
Player#getItemOnCursor always returns air

[quaint mantle]

on cursor means the picked up item

[quaint mantle]

Get a vector pointing to their forward direction and scale it by the force you want to use

[quaint mantle]

not the item the player is hovering over

[thick scarab]

I know.

[quaint mantle]

oh

[mighty aurora]

I'm asking how I get that vector...

[quaint mantle]

always air? what?

[thick scarab]

Yes, in creative it shows as air

[agile anvil]

Player#getDirection

normalize it and multiply to scale

[quaint mantle]

Yes

[onyx fjord]

realtalk what particle looks good

[agile anvil]

For what case ?

[onyx fjord]

idek

just looking shiny

[agile anvil]

x)

[quaint mantle]

this is the documentation, idk anything else why it would be Air

[agile anvil]

The crits are great

[onyx fjord]

(below 1.19 btw)

[chrome beacon]

I don't think the server knows what's on the cursor in creative mode

[onyx fjord]

wait when was glow squid added

[chrome beacon]

The client essentially tells the server what to put where

[agile anvil]

1.18

[quaint mantle]

Oh that is true...

why is that not in the docs

[ancient plank]

creative mode inventory is client side

[lime jolt]

I created a txt file to hold all my data, but idk where it is created when I run the jar??? Can I just not acess it?

[agile anvil]

Cause mc protocol is funny, you have to experience it urself

[ivory sleet]

lol

[ancient plank]

it's very janky so I just don't allow most of my stuff to work in creative mode

[lime jolt]

wait nvm I found it

[quaint mantle]

yeah with custom items and all it's really annoying

[boreal seal]

i would sugget you creating on gamemode instead

using packets..

i think editing existing gmod is really limited

[mighty aurora]

Ok I'm sorry for asking so many questions I know very little about vectors. I'm trying to get the vector and currently I am trying to use this to calculate the vector(Sorry I haven't done this before) Vector.normalize(Player#getDirection); but it tells me that I can't use that in a static environment when I try and place that inside my event.

[boreal seal]

better just make some guis remove health bars, and etc using packets..

[agile anvil]

Player#getDirection#normalize

[quaint mantle]

Vector v = player.getDirection().normalize();

[boreal seal]

bruh Wolf

the docs about vectors are really clear

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/util/Vector.html

[mighty aurora]

I've been reading those they were not very clear

[tender robin]

1.16.1 is 1.16 right?

[mighty aurora]

no

[boreal seal]

they are

very clear

whats not clear here

tell me please

[quaint mantle]

What? I'm just trying to help...?

[boreal seal]

which part you didnt understand?

[boreal seal]

nah bro its ok

that person cant understand docs

[ancient plank]

mondays hit different for evanmclever

shoelaces don't work

[boreal seal]

not sure what he will understand from the line you gived him

[tender robin]

u sure?

[boreal seal]

same API

its like 1.8 versions

you will be fine

[quaint mantle]

That seems a bit rude to put it like that. Not everybody immediately understands something just by reading up a little on it. It's unfair to assume that.

[tender robin]

but it'll work on 1.16 right

[boreal seal]

it means they didnt do their java homework before

or math homeworkk

vectors docs are very clear

maybe the person have no clue what are vectors as well in first place

;l

[ancient plank]

in vanilla 1.16.1 players cannot connect to 1.16 servers, the only version to do that is 1.16.5 to 1.16.4 servers iirc

but that's a #help-server question not a #help-development question

[agile anvil]

It's ok to start somewhere. I started programming on java at 11 yo didn't even knowing what a Vector is

[boreal seal]

_Royln its not about it...

[quaint mantle]

In my opinion it's better to try and explain it more than to bash them for not understanding the docs?

[boreal seal]

its about person who googles how to

basically X Y...

he will ask how to do this when he doesnt know how to do the other thing in first place

[mighty aurora]

I knew more or less what a vector was the problem was I have done little to nothing with vectors ever. I had asked previously and i'm quite new to java so I'm still learning a lot about how everything works.

[boreal seal]

Wolfy he should learn to understand stacktraces instead of posting posts about what causes the issue without provoiding a code

you understand

[boreal seal]

first time , like in math trial and error

to understand some concepts

[agile anvil]

If you know what is a Vector then the Bukkit's Vector will be easy to understand

[boreal seal]

its the same vector

spigot is bukkit fork

for god sake

[agile anvil]

Yeah

[boreal seal]

_Rolyn how old are you

if u was 11

how now

[agile anvil]

But the Vector comes from Bukkit didn't they ?

[boreal seal]

everything comes from bukkit..

almost

[agile anvil]

Too old

[boreal seal]

im confused bruh you should be familiar with bukkit then

[agile anvil]

That's why I use Bukkit dude

[boreal seal]

back then in 1.2.5 bukkit was the only thing out there

[ancient plank]

alright old man go back to bed

[quaint mantle]

I still stand by my opinion to be nice and teach them, help them learn. They wont learn anything if you just say "Ah well you just can't understand the docs thats too bad..."

[boreal seal]

nah man

i think its just a waste of time

[quaint mantle]

Learning takes time

[boreal seal]

you know how many idiots come here

like for real

XYProblem..

thats the issue

im here to support

link docs

he dont understand english

[quaint mantle]

you were probably as dumb as 'these idiots' when you started

[boreal seal]

send him to english class

[boreal seal]

true

wait no

i actually learned java first

and then the api

[mighty aurora]

When I put that in and look on the docs it says that is incorrect. From what I read I need to put a location for it to check. Would adding .getLocation to that(so p.getLocation().getDirection().normalize();) work still or do I need to keep looking

[boreal seal]

only

[quaint mantle]

that is a good idea.

yes

[boreal seal]

i dont think a person who cant understand docs learned java

the docs are written in the most clear way in the world

[quaint mantle]

Alright, well you can have your opinion and stick to it i guess, I will still try to help when I can. lol

[boreal seal]

help no problem this person gonna ask every single thing

[upper vale]

I learned by copy pasting from YouTube videos

[boreal seal]

you will code his plugin

[quaint mantle]

what did you learn, copy pasting?

[mighty aurora]

I was confused partly because I was misunderstanding what they wrote as well.

[upper vale]

Yeah

Control C control v

[boreal seal]

i bet

you did it

for sure

he is joking

...

[quaint mantle]

thanks for asking your question! A developer will be with you shortly!

[boreal seal]

brb i bring a lighter

[quaint mantle]

Explain the best you can with the info you are given and tell them how they could be asking the question better, this is usually what I try to do. I don't code plugins for people without payment lol, all I did was write one line of code which summarizes the idea.

[boreal seal]

wolf i send the docs here

they answer on his questions

all you do is read it and explain it to him

in different way

he should understand the docs

or not use the function at all

im not here to unmotivate people and etc

i just try to put them on the right way

he cant take shortcuts...

[quaint mantle]

Like I said, sometimes people need a little extra help understanding, it's not fair to just say "Oh well, you can't code I guess because you can't understand something that most people can."

[ancient plank]

I think this is a silly argument

[quaint mantle]

Let people who are helping just help their way -_- even if it's the hard way

[quaint mantle]

I agree with this

[agile anvil]

Do you have kids ? x)

[boreal seal]

nah

not yet

i might get later

i think like in 5-10 years

[mighty aurora]

Can we please just end this argument? Also other question. What value do I need to put in as a velocity? Based on the docs the setVelocity requires two inputs, a vector and the velocity. I tried putting a int and double but neither are working and I don't see things in the docs explaining this.

[boreal seal]

when i get an house

[agile anvil]

Try begin more friendly, kids that are taught that way live a sad life

[boreal seal]

not really

Rolyn you dont know how it works then

[mighty aurora]

Or is it that its one value and I need to incorporate the speed in the vector?

[boreal seal]

if a kid will never eat chocolate he will never want

learn some psychology

what you say seems funny

[tardy delta]

i wanted to say smth but i wont

🤓

[quaint mantle]

I think he is just trolling at this point lol

[boreal seal]

im very friendly person either

[quaint mantle]

look at the channel name and if you don't see #arguing just stop or leave
reply to Mc Lever

Copium?

[mighty aurora]

who?

[quaint mantle]

Evan

Anyways, we should probably get back on topic lol

[agile anvil]

I think you just don't understand how to live in a community. I'm a mathematician, I like logical stuff, I like when things are true or false so your teaching method is the one I like. But there are others in that world. You're not the only one in that planet, not everybody thinks like you.
So stop imposing your mindset, it's maybe good for some, but not for others.
If you're not happy with how Wolf teach, just ignore

[boreal seal]

your brains are less devoloped

its pointless...

thats logic

a kid will be not sad

[quaint mantle]

omg

[boreal seal]

he will be used to it

[quaint mantle]

stop

with the fricking useless talk

[boreal seal]

timar this is what you do when your parents argue?

thats the point of discord

useless talk

[quaint mantle]

yup, I don't wanna be as miserable as you

I thought the point of discord was to discuss topics in the proper channels because those are the rules of the server

[boreal seal]

i put an commentary didnt tell him what to do either...

do message u a msg

since u dont accept strangers

lol

[agile anvil]

Arguing continuously against it is telling him what to do. I understand you may have a tuff life but try being cool with others

[boreal seal]

i wanted to say its pointless

the guy with vector issue still didnt get an answer

and each question leads to different question

@mighty aurora

do you mind to answer some simple questions to me?

ill write a simple code

[quaint mantle]

and if people have the patience to get through them what tf are you still doing here

[boreal seal]

and tell me what it used for

[mighty aurora]

I can try

I literally already stated that I am still learning Java

[boreal seal]

    private void init() {
        hostname = plugin.getConfig().getString("hostname");
        port = plugin.getConfig().getString("port");
        database = plugin.getConfig().getString("database");
        username = plugin.getConfig().getString("username");
        password = plugin.getConfig().getString("password");
    }

now why this method is private

and what does "void" means here

its really simple

you have 30 seconds.

no one dont answer please.

[iron glade]

tf?

[boreal seal]

if he gives correct answer i will apologize..

[agile anvil]

It is not a school of Java here

[boreal seal]

stop stop

hold on

[agile anvil]

so please stop and go out

[boreal seal]

no man you help man who didnt study java even

[mighty aurora]

Private is so that you can't access it elsewhere as it contains data you only want accessed here. Sorry but right now I can't remember what void means.

[agile anvil]

drink some water, breath some fresh air

[quaint mantle]

.

[boreal seal]

he dont remember what void means

for god sake

Void it what it retursn

if it was private String

it would return a string

now guys

go help him

its pointless

let him learn java first

[iron glade]

11/10 teacher skills

[mighty aurora]

My brain forgets things ok

[quaint mantle]

Yes and that's normal because it takes time

[boreal seal]

i honestly think you googled

what it means

[mighty aurora]

no

[boreal seal]

took you way too much time

[mighty aurora]

because I was typing...

[boreal seal]

man

[quaint mantle]

Not everybody is gonna go to college to learn java to make minecraft plugins, lmao what?
How do you expect him to learn? If you are just basically making him look like a fool because he is new?
All you are doing is scaring him away? The learning space needs less of that energy.

[boreal seal]

typing this for 1 min

[boreal seal]

collage is not required

simple know eldge

its the basics

[mighty aurora]

I had to rewrite a section because I messed up

[boreal seal]

@quaint mantle

im wrong?

[mighty aurora]

Doesn't matter anyway people will believe what they want to believe.

[boreal seal]

lavaking i just suggest you to learn java first

you wont understand shit later

if u dont learn java first

u will write static jebbrish

you dont want it

[quaint mantle]

Again, if people are willing to help, just let them

[agile anvil]

That's it, just say that, it's good, now stop

[boreal seal]

its alright guys

i prooved my self

[quaint mantle]

You don't need to understand the entirety of java, just learn it bit by bit like I did. For me it was easier that way.

[boreal seal]

who wants can help him

WOlf

he doesnt know why Void was here

are you serious

its like basics of basics

[mighty aurora]

i literally said I forgot...

[agile anvil]

stop

[boreal seal]

you cant forget that

[agile anvil]

guys stop

[quiet ice]

...

[quiet ice]

Okay why the hell ghost-print vagdedes?

[mighty aurora]

You can when your quite new to java...

[quiet ice]

That was like the REALLY wrong choice to do

[quaint mantle]

Indeed

I have a problem with how it seems like you are publicly shaming him right now, he is learning, it takes time to learn to program. It's a complicated subject, the only thing you are doing is deterring him...

[mighty aurora]

I can't believe I just caused this large of an argument

[ancient plank]

shhhh

[mighty aurora]

over a question

[ancient plank]

go back to development help question answer stuff

discontinue the argument stuff

[agile anvil]

break;

[quaint mantle]

It was technically I guess me that started the argument by "giving you the answer" lol

[tardy delta]

wheres context

[quiet ice]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

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

[iron glade]

new ItemStack(material)

[quiet ice]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInteractEvent.html#item I mean you can use refections

[quaint mantle]

no, it's a new item stack with that material

[quiet ice]

But uh why would you do that?

[quaint mantle]

He's trying to ask how to set an item stack to the current item, not a material

[quiet ice]

And what do you want to do?

With the itemstack reference that is?

[agile anvil]

@quaint mantle just fetch the player inventory to set the itemstack, the event is not the instance to use

[iron glade]

All I know is you are using PlayerInteractEvent, give more context

[mighty aurora]

What value do I need to put in as a velocity? Based on the docs the setVelocity requires two inputs, a vector and the velocity. I tried putting a int and double but neither are working and I don't see things in the docs explaining this. Or is it that its one value and I need to incorporate the speed in the vector? This was asked earlier but lost in the argument.

[quaint mantle]

you can get the material from an ItemStack using getType()

[agile anvil]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Entity.html#setVelocity(org.bukkit.util.Vector)

[quaint mantle]

From what it looks like to me, setVelocity only requires one param?

[ancient plank]

vector

[quaint mantle]

Are all of your brackets matched properly?

What IDE do you use?

[quiet ice]

Nah, he misinterpreted (Vector velocity) as being two args

[mighty aurora]

ok thanks. now how do I determine the actual speed at which the player will be moving after having set the velocity?

[quiet ice]

Vector being one type and velocity being the other

[quaint mantle]

Ah, Vector is the type. velocity is the name

[mighty aurora]

Correct

[ancient plank]

vect: Vector moment

[agile anvil]

It's litteraly the velocity that tells the speed

[quaint mantle]

The length of the vector is the speed. Which is why you normalize the vector (reduce it's length to 1) and scale it to the speed you want

[quiet ice]

You likely need to normalise the vector

[mighty aurora]

I already normalized it

And the speed is meters per TICK right?

[quaint mantle]

And now you scale it

[quiet ice]

But uh I never did much of the vector buffoonery

[mighty aurora]

meaning if I wanted it to be less than 1m/t 20m/s then I would need to scale it down?

[quaint mantle]

Using this https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/util/Vector.html#multiply(double)

I would think that velocity would be per second, but I'm not sure

[quiet ice]

Just try it out I guess

[mighty aurora]

in the setVelocity it specifies meters per tick

[quiet ice]

Then it probably is that

[agile anvil]

Where do you get that setVelocity method from ?

[mighty aurora]

I'm working in 1.19

[quaint mantle]

There is probably a function to get the tick speed of the server, take the speed per second you want and divide it by the tick speed

[agile anvil]

I mean from which class?

[quiet ice]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Entity.html#setVelocity(org.bukkit.util.Vector)

Entity class

[mighty aurora]

Yeah

[quiet ice]

I'd not scale with tps

this can be unreliable especially on laggy servers

And is more complicated either way

[quaint mantle]

What would you suggest as an alternative?

[mighty aurora]

I sincerely hope I didn't mess up anything I wrote. Also I was trying to use one of the tutorials to learn/make a cooldown system but it doesn't appear to work. Tutorial in specific is https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/feature-command-cooldowns/ Does anyone know if this still works? If so would someone be willing to help me troubleshoot it?

[quiet ice]

Assuming that 20 ticks = 1 second

[agile anvil]

Don't scale

[quiet ice]

Why would it not work?

[quaint mantle]

Ah, no I meant to get the target tick speed, servers can change the target speed I think so it would be safer to do that.

[quiet ice]

And if so, how does it not work?

[quaint mantle]

Not the current tick speed my bad

[agile anvil]

Making a cooldown is basically remembering the last time the thing was used, and comparing with the current time (basic difference)

[quiet ice]

Nah, they usually cannot

At least not on spigot/paper

[mighty aurora]

Yeah and you store that value in a hashmap usually right?

[quaint mantle]

In that case, it would be safer to assume that 20 ticks is a second, yes.

[quiet ice]

Hence there will not be target tickspeed method

[agile anvil]

Depends on how you'd like to work

[mighty aurora]

Can you explain?

[tardy delta]

rendering moment

[quiet ice]

Generally you'd want to use a hashmap

Or at least a map of some sorts

[chrome beacon]

No parchment mappings :c

[tardy delta]

tbh i have no idea what that is

[chrome beacon]

Community made mappings for parameter names

[tardy delta]

uh oh

💀

[quiet ice]

Rendering the main reason I stay strictly on CLI & Serverside development

[tardy delta]

😅👍

[quiet ice]

It's just not my cup of tea

[tardy delta]

i wanted to do some rendering in rust but its so long ago that i did rust

[chrome beacon]

Yeah I remember when I did rendering in my forge mod

I forgot to pop the matrix stack

Whole world rendering got messed up

[tardy delta]

oh god

[vivid skiff]

How can i create multiple configs, like a config.yml and a playerdata.yml

[chrome beacon]

?configs

[undone axle]

See this wiki page on how to use custom configuration files: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/config-files/

wrote my own config class 💀 https://github.com/FourteenBrush/xKingdoms/blob/0071ede047480b78cb34d3c6ce14471e3d3b3d79/src/main/java/me/fourteendoggo/xkingdoms/utils/Config.java

delegates go brrr

hmm me not closing reader

[mighty aurora]

Vectors are numbers right

Like if you were to print one it would show up as a number

[tardy delta]

does calling CompletableFuture.runAsync(() -> {}, Runnable::run) has the same effect as CompletableFuture.runAsync(() -> {}).join() by both blocking the thread it runs on?

not talking about whatever overhead

[mighty aurora]

Is their a way to give players a sort of thorns ability without enchanting their armor or otherwise? As in they will deal damage to anything they touch. By the same way how do I cancel any damage reflected back at them

[onyx fjord]

i found this precious chunk of code

    public static List<Location> getSquare(Location corner1, Location corner2, double particleDistance) {
        List<Location> result = new ArrayList<>();
        World world = corner1.getWorld();
        double minX = Math.min(corner1.getX(), corner2.getX());
        double minY = Math.min(corner1.getY(), corner2.getY());
        double minZ = Math.min(corner1.getZ(), corner2.getZ());
        double maxX = Math.max(corner1.getX(), corner2.getX());
        double maxY = Math.max(corner1.getY(), corner2.getY());
        double maxZ = Math.max(corner1.getZ(), corner2.getZ());

        for (double x = minX; x <= maxX; x+=particleDistance) {
            for (double y = minY; y <= maxY; y+=particleDistance) {
                for (double z = minZ; z <= maxZ; z+=particleDistance) {
                    int components = 0;
                    if (x == minX || x == maxX) components++;
                    if (y == minY || y == maxY) components++;
                    if (z == minZ || z == maxZ) components++;
                    if (components >= 2) {
                        result.add(new Location(world, x, y, z));
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return result;
    }

what do i do with the result?

i tried looping thru array items

                for (Location loopLoc : getSquare(location.add(1, -1, 1), location, 1)) {
                    receiver.spawnParticle(Particle.valueOf(config.getString(configValue)), loopLoc, 5);
                }

like this

[mighty aurora]

What are you trying to do?

[onyx fjord]

im tryna spawn particles in cube shape

error says java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The provided key for the custom value was null

[mighty aurora]

That would mean that its not giving a result

[quaint mantle]

Where is the error?

What line?

[sterile token]

Hi if im using Mongo pojo's do I need to make a codec serializer for the pojo class?

[lost matrix]

Depends on the serializer you are using. There are a couple of default codecs that can do quite a lot already.

[tardy delta]

lol first looping to compute the result and then looping over the result

🤓

[sterile token]

I ask because when I save a pojo class mongo doesnt know how to save it

[viscid ember]

Idk if i need to explain this but...

[sterile token]

That why I having data errores when sever get restart es

[quaint mantle]

Use ChatColor

Not Color

[sterile token]

Color is from Java

[quaint mantle]

Color is not from bukkit

Yeah

[sterile token]

Tomar do you have mongo docec experience?

[onyx fjord]

what would u suggest to do

[lost matrix]

You can use mongojack for example. It uses Jackson as a mapper.

[quaint mantle]

Nop sorry

[sterile token]

But mongo doesnt have an Interface like Codec something

🤔

[viscid ember]

💀 thanks

[lost matrix]

I personally use my own codec implementation which is simply backed by Gson

[lost matrix]

Yes it has

[tardy delta]

void loopBlocks(Location firstCorner, Location secondCorner, double particleDistance, Consumer<Location> locationConsumer) @onyx fjord

[sterile token]

Smile, so you are just saving a Json string ob mongo right?

[tardy delta]

i remember the time someone was saving json in a mysql database

[lost matrix]

No i convert my json string to bson.

[sterile token]

Ohh ok

I didnt know you can do that

[lost matrix]

Its literally just

Document bson = Document.parse(jsonString);

[onyx fjord]

tf is a consumer

[sterile token]

Ohh ok

I will keep that answer

Thanks smile you are one of the ubiques that use mongo pojos

[small current]

i want to change a nether star with a custom texure data's texture to another how can i do that in the resource pack side

[tardy delta]

google time

[small current]

i did this

[tardy delta]

it basically allows you to pass in some kind of action

[small current]

and the file is here

no

if anyone actually worked with custom models please reply

blockbench 💩

[zealous osprey]

do you have the file "minecraft.models.item.heart_item.json" aswell?

[small current]

🧠 yes

wait

its crystal

[lost matrix]

Example for an acacia boat.
\minecraft\models\item\acacia_boat.json:

{
  "parent": "minecraft:item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "minecraft:item/acacia_boat"
  },
  "overrides": [
    {
      "model": "minecraft:item/acacia_boat/1",
      "predicate": {
        "custom_model_data": 1
      }
    }
  ]
}

\minecraft\models\item\acacia_boat\1.json

{
  "parent": "item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "acacia_boat/1",

[charred blaze]

    public void execute(CommandSender sender, String[] args) {
        if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("antivpnreload") || args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("avpnreload")) {
            if (sender.hasPermission("chat.reload")) {
                data = new File(dir, "whitelist.yml");
                saveC();
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&aWhitelist reloaded!"));
            } else {
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&cYou dont have permission to execute that command!"));
            }
        }
    }```

it says command not found

[lost matrix]

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation") is often a bad sign

[agile anvil]

Did you register your command on the plugin.yml and onEnable ?

[charred blaze]

plugin.yml yes

onEnable does it needs to?

ah

what if i need that command's code in my main class?

[small current]

filename: nether_star.json

whats wrong

[lost matrix]

Yes you need to register commands in your onEnable. You need to apply the CommandExecutor to a command.
The only exception is if your JavaPlugin class overrides onCommand()

[lost matrix]

You need 2 additional files. A json file which defines a model and a png file which defines the texture.

[mighty aurora]

Can anyone answer this question? (just dont want to have it lost)

[small current]

yes i said i have it

this json:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/741875863271899136/1011311654606213171/unknown.png

and this png

[lost matrix]

Listen to events and do some programming. This should be really simple.

[lost matrix]

Thats not enough

[small current]

ok what is wrong then!!!

[lost matrix]

You need 2 additional files. A json file which defines a model and a png file which defines the texture.

[small current]

what do you mean

i have 2 files

i need more ?

[lost matrix]

Take a look at my example. It has a total of 3 files.

[charred blaze]

how to make multiple extends?

[lost matrix]

You cant

[charred blaze]

so how can i make command listener in my main class then?

[lost matrix]

Your "main" class (which should never be named Main btw) should only extend JavaPlugin

[tardy delta]

extends JavaPlugin implement CommandExecutor

[lost matrix]

JavaPlugin is an instance of CommandExecutor.
But i would strongly advise you to make a separate class for every CommandExecutor.

[lost matrix]

Not needen. JavaPlugin already implements it

The JavaPlugin will be automatically registered as a CommandExecutor for every command defined in your plugin.yml

Which is just dirty

[small current]

models\item\nether_crystal.json:

{
  "parent": "item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "item/nether_crystal"
  },
  "overrides": [
    {
      "model": "item/heart_item",
      "predicate": {

}

models\item\heart_item.json:

{
  "parent": "item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "is this guy my png name in assets ???",
  }
}

@lost matrix

[lost matrix]

Yes that is the path to a texture you want to add. Usually you just have one layer called "layer0"

No they werent. They were missing a whole file. And inside this file he needs the layer.

[small current]

still missing texture

i got this

[lost matrix]

You are missing a 't'

[small current]

still missing

no wait

still missing

[ancient plank]

Doing custom models and textures makes me hurt internally

[lost matrix]

I just wrote a generator once and now all i have to do is throw images in a folder and write one line of code which defines how the model looks like

[small current]

no

[ancient plank]

I used to make custom 3d models for people with block bench and put them into resource packs for them

Very long process very annoying

[small current]

i just need ONE png

[mighty aurora]

Quick question. If a player isn't moving is their velocity 0 or null?

[lost matrix]

0

[small current]

whats wrong now

??

there is no tutorial for it

[lost matrix]

This looks right. Set the custom model data to 1 and make sure you get yourself the right itemstack

Ah i see a problem. In your heart_item.json there is a colon after "...heart_item"

[ivory sleet]

Wow thats a cool pfp

Also kacper I saaaw u

[lost matrix]

I have generated it using DALL E 2. I got in as a developer for open AI open source projects 😛

[ivory sleet]

Congratulations (:

[mighty aurora]

I'm not seeing how I can determine the entity/player that is damaged using EntityDamageByEntityEvent. Anyone know how?

[tardy delta]

resourcepack moment

[delicate lynx]

just event.getEntity()?

[lost matrix]

Congratulations

[mighty aurora]

Wouldn't that get both the entity that caused it and the entity that was damaged?

[delicate lynx]

it returns 1 entity

[mighty aurora]

It gets the Entities Invovled

It returns the damaged entity not the damaging entity right

[delicate lynx]

correct

if you want the entity that did the damage, do as stated earlier, event.getDamager()

[lost matrix]

EntityDamageByEntityEvent can provide both the defender and attacker

[small current]

anyone got any idea for the resource pack thing ?

[mighty aurora]

I'm trying to use this to prevent a player from taking damage when they are doing something specific. Also by the same extension I want it to also damage entities that attempt to damage the player in this time. I can't seem to figure out how to set the damagee. Or do I need to do something else to damage the entity? It won't let me do entity.damage btw

getEntity()

[novel ocean]

hello does anyone know how to properly disable using number keys to move items inside inventories bc checking if getClick == ClickType.NUMBER_KEY doesn't work

[mighty aurora]

Then why does it say here I can damage entities...

Thats on the docs

[worldly ingot]

That's on the docs of LivingEntity

[viscid ember]

Just started making plugins again and i have made a wand that shoots a particle in a line for 10 blocks i want to make it so if there is a entity within that 10block it takes damage.

How can i detect if there is a entity within the particle line

public class WandEvents implements Listener {

    @EventHandler
    public static void onRightClick(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) {
            if (event.getItem() != null) {
                if (event.getItem().getItemMeta().equals(ItemManager.wand.getItemMeta())) {
                    Player player = event.getPlayer();

                    Location origin = player.getEyeLocation();
                    Vector direction = origin.getDirection();
                    direction.multiply(10);
                    Location destination = origin.clone().add(direction);

                    for (int i = 0; i < 10 /* range */; i++) {
                        Location loc = origin.add(direction);
                        loc.getWorld().spawnParticle(Particle.SWEEP_ATTACK, destination, 1);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}```

[worldly ingot]

Well you have a position for each point, no? loc?

[viscid ember]

yes i have the beginning and end point locs

[worldly ingot]

Right but you have each point between those positions too

That's what your loc variable is

You can check if that location is inside of the bounding box of nearby entities https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Entity.html#getBoundingBox()

[viscid ember]

yes i guess within the for loop i do

[worldly ingot]

Also relevant, you can probably get entities in a 3x3x3 or something, then check their bounding boxes
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#getNearbyEntities(org.bukkit.Location,double,double,double)

Ignore the player if you want as well, else it will hit them too ;p

[onyx fjord]

    public static void getSquare(Location corner1, Location corner2, double particleDistance, Player player) {
        World world = corner1.getWorld();

        double minY = Math.min(corner1.getY(), corner2.getY());

                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

[mighty aurora]

i saw

[onyx fjord]

any idea why this might break on low coordinate differences?

it ends up half undone

[chrome beacon]

Particle distance too large maybe

[worldly ingot]

How low you talking? Could very well be a specificity issue

e.g. if you're working with a distance of 1.5 on each axis, but your particleDistance is, say, 1, you're going to have a rough time

Event handlers can only have one parameter, the event

You get everything from the event

Right. instanceof check and cast

[onyx fjord]

its set to 0.1

[waxen plinth]

Check first

Then cast

[onyx fjord]

i cant ss but it has this shape

(it should be square outline

like a box

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, I've a feeling this is just a matter of not being exactly ==

[chrome beacon]

Well that's not what you want

[onyx fjord]

?

[waxen plinth]

Use block coordinates

Ints

[worldly ingot]

if (x == minX || x == maxX) components++;
if (y == minY || y == maxY) components++;
if (z == minZ || z == maxZ) components++;```

[onyx fjord]

oh

[worldly ingot]

I guarantee you the == maxX isn't true

(or y or z)

[onyx fjord]

ye i found the code somewhere on forums

[waxen plinth]

It's not great

[onyx fjord]

i suck at math badly

[worldly ingot]

Right, so going back to

e.g. if you're working with a distance of 1.5 on each axis, but your particleDistance is, say, 1, you're going to have a rough time

[onyx fjord]

do you know any better code that can do what i want?

[waxen plinth]

Get the corners of the region

Draw lines between all corners that share a coordinate

[tardy delta]

just work with ints instead of doubles

lmao

[waxen plinth]

Because the current way you're doing it, you iterate over every block in the region

[tardy delta]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-the-event-api/

[chrome beacon]

That still won't work

[waxen plinth]

It's very inefficient

[tardy delta]

no you listen

[onyx fjord]

the space of square is 1 block anyway

[waxen plinth]

Not sure what you mean by that

[tardy delta]

i gave you a link to look at

[waxen plinth]

@quaint mantle don't thumbs down that

Don't expect people to explain things to you that have been explained a thousand times

We're not here to coddle you

Read

It's part of life as a developer, you will need to read docs and guides

[tardy delta]

i think he wants to stop developing now

[onyx fjord]

okay guys this is weird

it seems to work fine if distance is 1 or 0.25

[tardy delta]

another one to add to the blocklist

[tardy delta]

cant you just work with ints instead of doubles

havent really been following so idk

[boreal seal]

kacper you know whats wierd

few hours ago there was a guy

[vivid skiff]

how can i storage data in a file like userdata.yml where it saves like:

Players:

• Player, 200, hey1

[boreal seal]

who didnt know what public "void" < void means...

and i told him learn java first

and got muted for an hour

[waxen plinth]

Read what was linked to you

[onyx fjord]

it means the thing below End dimension

[boreal seal]

it means it returns nothing lol

[onyx fjord]

i know bro im joking

[boreal seal]

bruh xd

[onyx fjord]

but did i lie? no

[boreal seal]

but 1 hour mute fr

btw i asked what is private as well he manange to find an answer at google

we came to it afterwards he said he cant understand what docs are saying...

[onyx fjord]

k why are END_ROD particles feaking out

[viscid ember]

for (int i = 0; i < 10 /* range */; i++) {
                        Location loc = origin.add(direction);
                        loc.getWorld().spawnParticle(Particle.SWEEP_ATTACK, destination, 1);

                        List<Entity> near = loc.getWorld().getEntities();
                        for(Entity e : near) {
                            if (e.getLocation().distance(loc) <= radius) {
                                e.damage(3);
                            }
                        }

was .damage deprecated?

[onyx fjord]

its like, there are partcicles and after few ticks poof

explosion

[ancient plank]

No you were muted because you were being toxic

[boreal seal]

hold my beer

[onyx fjord]

wait

do particles have velocity?

[chrome beacon]

No

[tardy delta]

:/

[chrome beacon]

You need to check if it's damagable first

Not all entities can be damaged

[mighty aurora]

That would do what exactly? Check to see if the player does the damage and then set the players health to 0?

[waxen plinth]

The hell

[chrome beacon]

That code won't work

[tardy delta]

looking thro the code of supervanish

[boreal seal]

Player player = event.getplayer

[mighty aurora]

I was reading that and was like "da frick"???

[boreal seal]

player.sethealth(0)

[mighty aurora]

yeah

[boreal seal]

@onyx fjord i leave the chat 2digits citizens are back..

[mighty aurora]

The whole goal was damage an entity. That code wouldn't damage an entity it would kill the player...

[viscid ember]

which entitys can you not damage ??

[waxen plinth]

Nonliving ones

[chrome beacon]

^^

[viscid ember]

💀

[waxen plinth]

Go damage an arrow

[tardy delta]

you better be kiddin me

[waxen plinth]

Those count as living

[quaint mantle]

Zombie implements LivingEntity

[tardy delta]

ye i will paste gh code for sure

lmfao

[viscid ember]

yh zombie is still "living entity"

and even after i check if its living entity it doesnt answer my question of how do i damage it

nvm

                        for(Entity e : near) {
                            if (e.getLocation().distance(loc) <= radius) {
                                if (e instanceof LivingEntity) {
                                    ((LivingEntity) e).damage(3);
                                }
                            }
                        }```

https://tenor.com/view/surprised-pikachu-pokemon-shock-surprised-pikachu-gif-15357817

[quaint mantle]

I don't think there is a damage method, I think you need to get it's health, subtract from it and set it back.

[tardy delta]

check instanceof before calculating disatance

[quaint mantle]

Nvm I'm dumb I guess lol

[viscid ember]

same ig

[hazy parrot]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Damageable.html#damage(double)

[viscid ember]

Ik its bad practice but is there a way to just live reload my plugin with out constantly stopping my server

[quaint mantle]

Yes, I already noticed but thanks

[mighty aurora]

This is the problem I am having

[chrome beacon]

For developing it's fine. Just be aware of the problems it might cause

[mighty aurora]

Yes their is an article on spigotmc under plugin development called intelij plugin debugging

[viscid ember]

i got it working...

[quaint mantle]

Why would live reloading be "bad practice"?

[small current]

im creating a custom item
i want to set the texture to the heart texture for particles

what should i put

[tardy delta]

google it

[viscid ember]

thats resource packs...

[small current]

google got nothing

[quaint mantle]

Unless you are live reloading in a production environment, I don't think live reloading could be considered bad practice.

[small current]

i know its resource pack

but a little help

[onyx fjord]

but then i will have to place 1 particle per meter right?

[viscid ember]

where?

[tardy delta]

ah youre spawning particles

nvm then ig

[small current]

no

[round finch]

it CustomModel Data

json

[small current]

the particle texture

i want to use it for the item

[mighty aurora]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/intellij-debug-your-plugin/

[round finch]

get the customData vaule

[small current]

i want to use this texture

[tardy delta]

refers to the textures/item folder iirc

[small current]

its not coding fr

im not doing any java

im making a resource pack

[round finch]

ah

[small current]

i copied that

this is what is changes to

it can change in to a gold ingot

but when i do particle/heart

not working

[waxen plinth]

Is particle/heart a real particle

Didn't it get renamed

[small current]

it works

[small current]

no

[small current]

but for the heart texture

[mighty aurora]

attempted to register an invalid EventHandler method signature "public void us.newrealms.timebounditems.darkMist.damage(org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerMoveEvent,org.bukkit.event.entity.EntityDamageByEntityEvent)" in class us.newrealms.timebounditems.darkMist I just got this error. What exactly does it mean?

[waxen plinth]

Why are you trying to take 2 events in one method

[chrome beacon]

^

[chrome beacon]

You need to point it to a model not a texture

[small current]

ok how

what model should i point it to

[old geyser]

!paste

[chrome beacon]

Make one for your item

[old geyser]

/paste

[delicate lynx]

?paste

[undone axle]

https://paste.md-5.net/

[small current]

how

there is no tutorial for it
its all blockbench

for changing it to a big ass sword or whatever

[chrome beacon]

{
  "parent": "minecraft:item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "minecraft:item/iron_nugget"
  }
}

for example

[small current]

mine should be

{
  "parent": "minecraft:item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "minecraft:heart"
  }
}

?

[chrome beacon]

Try minecraft:particle/heart

[tardy delta]

when i was trying to make my own cf like class

[mighty aurora]

I'm creating a dash ability and its meant to detect when the player is dashing and also if the player takes damage. This is so that I can cancel damage done to the player. I also want to do damage to the entities the player collides with so because I don't know how to detect entity collision I am simply making it so anything that attacks the player takes damage. To do this I needed to listen to both events. Unless it would be better to instead have it listen for damage check the players velocity(to determine if they are dashing) and then if they pass the check to do all of what i said before(cancel damage and then deal damage back).

[small current]

they should be in the same file
and like this ?

[waxen plinth]

You can't do that

Take two events in one method, I mean

[mighty aurora]

Would what I said work then of listening to just the entitydamage event and going off that?'

[delicate lynx]

when the player is in a "dash," somehow track that

[waxen plinth]

That's the best solution

[mighty aurora]

I check that by checking their velocity

[waxen plinth]

Keep a map or set

[delicate lynx]

then when they try to take damage, see if they are on a list and cancel based on that

[waxen plinth]

They could just be falling really fast

Don't use velocity

[small current]

yay thanks

[waxen plinth]

Track it properly

[round finch]

go to your special ModelData File
and put parent as it ModelData file name

Not in the Item Model Data

it should load your Model data from the file itself
(only if you want that else it will minecraft:item/generated vanilla)

[mighty aurora]

The dash is supposed to last less than a second...

So basically I would be adding something(say a pdc) to the player wait 1 second and then remove it again

[worldly ingot]

At that point it doesn't need to be a PDC entry

The P in PDC is persistent

[quaint mantle]

Wouldn't something like a dash be better off with a hashmap instead of PDC? PDC is for persistent data dashing is more temporary

[tardy delta]

the P in PDC lmao

🥲🔫

im sorry

[waxen plinth]

Use a set or a scoreboard tag

[round finch]

persistent data dashing is temporary?

fr?

[waxen plinth]

Scoreboard tag is also persistent though

So a set is probably best

[tardy delta]

hehe i once added pdc entries to a player and wiped the server world files to reset the world and then i wondered why the player data was gone 🤔

[quaint mantle]

oof

Sounds like something I would do lol

[round finch]

why not add them to some sort of list?
if it is temporary memory

[quaint mantle]

A set is a list where the same item can't be added more than once.

[round finch]

ahhh so spam attack?

if it is multiple attacks oof

[quaint mantle]

It's also cleaner if you need to iterate over it

It guarantees that an item cannot be evaluated more than once in a foreach loop.

[mighty aurora]

Quick other question if I use wait() in my code to have it wait before removing the player from the set would that stop anything else in the plugin or just that specific section of code? I think it would just stop that section of code but after reading the description on it(because intelij doesn't like my use of wait) it sounds like it would stop the whole plugin

[delicate lynx]

do not use wait

[tardy delta]

^^

[delicate lynx]

use the bukkit scheduler

[tardy delta]

wondering why youre using wait tho

?scheduling

[undone axle]

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

[round finch]

OH a set

thanks for that information

me having a bunch of ifs

what happens if you do add same thing to set?

ignores it?

[quaint mantle]

In c# the add method would return false, in java it might be the same or it throws an exception...

[opal juniper]

it returns a boolean

true if successful

[quaint mantle]

Yeah, so probably returns false if it was ignored

[delicate lynx]

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Set.html#add-E-

[round finch]

would it throw error?

[opal juniper]

no

[delicate lynx]

it does return a boolean, that is neat to know

[old cloud]

Any idea why Material#matchMaterial(String) works fine in my IDE but will return null on the server?

[quaint mantle]

Are the strings uppercase?

[old cloud]

yes but that shouldn't matter anyway

[round finch]

good! I will remember this for future use

[quaint mantle]

My bad, I initially read that as getMaterial and not matchMaterial

What input are you providing it?

The first and most obvious reason could be that the material you are trying to reference doesn't exist on the server

[rough drift]

How do I use the database: true in the plugin.yml

[opal juniper]

thats a thing?

[rough drift]

yeah

I just don't know how to access it

[opal juniper]

ask choco

[delicate lynx]

I have no idea how true this is but https://bukkit.fandom.com/wiki/Plugin_Databases

[rough drift]

That is true

just for bukkit only

So you know

[rough drift]

Do I ping choco or just wait for him to read

[opal juniper]

if you want him to read it, ping him. if you dont want to ping him, ask in paper. the devs of that intellij plugin are in there

[rough drift]

I'll ping him hoping that he doesn't get mad

[rough drift]

@worldly ingot ||sorry||

[worldly ingot]

It was removed. Doesn't exist anymore

[rough drift]

Oh

Thanks

[opal juniper]

im a genius

got you that answer real fast

[worldly ingot]

Plugins used to be able to use a NoSQL Ebeans database but we removed the dependency because practically nobody at all used it

[rough drift]

Okay

[opal juniper]

that seems a really odd feature

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, believe it or not, all CraftBukkit servers had a local database lol

[rough drift]

Would've made life easier, however I got an idea for a work around:

Use local file unless db is specified

[worldly ingot]

https://bukkit.fandom.com/wiki/Plugin_Databases

JavaPlugin#getDatabase() ;p

[rough drift]

Yeah

[old cloud]

It fails at gray_stained_glass_pane and the server is 1.19

[opal juniper]

😌

[worldly ingot]

Yeah it was removed a little bit ago

I want to say around 1.10?

[rough drift]

Ah so a couple of years

[winged anvil]

does anyone know of good examples of plugins that manage a lot of messages in config

or have any ideas on how to manage hella messages

[timid jetty]

AttributeInstance armor = player.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_ARMOR);
armor.setBaseValue(bonusToughness);

just making sure this is how I would add bonus armor to a player right. and wearing armor is additive to this value?

[worldly ingot]

Found the commit. Removed in 1.12. I was close
https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/bukkit/commits/eb2c1f23e6e5eb09d118be85c860832c528c78c4

[rough drift]

Can I technically run my own Ebean server then

would that be a good thing or a bad thing

[worldly ingot]

I mean Ebean was just an ORM

You can shade and use Ebean if you want

[rough drift]

Should I? or should I just add a config for db

[worldly ingot]

You would need to do both. Again, Ebean is an ORM. It's basically a way for Java to map an object to an SQL supported structure

Hence ORM, Object-Relational Mapping

[rough drift]

oh

Well I meant more start up a lightweight DB within the plugin itself

[worldly ingot]

You could use SQLite or something. Whether or not you prefer using Ebean is up to you. I personally hate ORMs. I find them clunky. But others swear by them

But Ebean on its own is nothing. It needs a database

[rough drift]

Oh ok

[worldly ingot]

If you Google for a bit of Ebean documentation you'll kind of get what I'm saying a bit more

[reef lagoon]

Pro tip: Press Insert to enhance user experience on intellij

[worldly ingot]

Insert has its uses. I'm just to stubborn to take advantage of it :))

[rough drift]

I now have another question: How would I be able to start a lightweight db within my plugin? Could I just use a .db file and JDBC driver for it?

[waxen plinth]

SQLite yeah

[rough drift]

Alright, thank you! :D

[waxen plinth]

SQLite is good for if you need to store data that's not cross-server

It's fast but only supports single thread access

[rough drift]

Yeah, btw still haven't added brigadier support, sorry xD

[waxen plinth]

I started on it

Got it like 90% done

[rough drift]

Oh, nice

[waxen plinth]

Scrapped it because I hate brigadier

[chrome beacon]

Brigadier is nice

[waxen plinth]

It's pretty terrible

No optional arguments, no flags

[rough drift]

brigadier has optional args?

[waxen plinth]

Trying to build abstractions on it is a nightmare

[waxen plinth]

It doesn't, that's what I just said

Well

[rough drift]

I remember it did

[waxen plinth]

It only has nodes

[rough drift]

Oh well yeah

[waxen plinth]

You can create optional arguments

[rough drift]

you can make it yourself

[waxen plinth]

But the way you do it sucks

https://github.com/Redempt/Ordinate/tree/brigadier/platforms%2Fbrigadier%2Fsrc%2Fredempt%2Fordinate%2Fbrigadier

Here's the code I wrote for brig support if you want to try your hand

I'm probably not going to bother

The benefits aren't worth it

[opal juniper]

lol

[waxen plinth]

Don't

Obfuscation is dumb seriously just don't

I promise your code isn't special and people aren't gonna steal it

[rough drift]

^

[waxen plinth]

My guy

I don't need to steal your code

[rough drift]

I was also like that, however I realized my code is shit and has been done countless times

[waxen plinth]

I much prefer to write it myself

[rough drift]

Since them I am depressed, but at least I have no problems sending stuff

[serene onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

But i wanted to steal it!

[waxen plinth]

No reason to be depressed about it

[rough drift]

It's a joke

[waxen plinth]

Ok

[serene onyx]

lol

[waxen plinth]

100% serious

[rough drift]

My code be like: Random operators go brrrrr please get the right numbber

[waxen plinth]

Most of my code is just on github

[serene onyx]

One day ur code will be mine😈

[waxen plinth]

With MIT license

I basically encourage people to steal it

Credit is appreciated but not required

[rough drift]

Today I just had no idea what do to, so I just put stuff at random and came up with x * maxY + y + (1 * (x + 1)), somehow it works perfectly

[opal juniper]

hmm, i always wondered how that whole gpl inheritance thing actually worked

[waxen plinth]

It doesn't if it's not enforced lol

[opal juniper]

i usually go with MIT, but i think my MC plugins are sometimes GPL as well

[waxen plinth]

If they really get annoyed that my library isn't GPL I will change it

But I like MIT a lot better

And nobody's gonna say shit about it lol

[opal juniper]

i mean yeah, its basically the bare minimum tbh

[waxen plinth]

Free and open information is the best kind

On the spigot stash

[rough drift]

?buildtools

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

[rough drift]

Or there

buildtools gives you the source iirc

[waxen plinth]

Yeah it does

[rough drift]

The stash is only needed if you contribute

Good luck buddy

[waxen plinth]

Good luck
