[arctic moth]

looked through nms code, turns out i dont need to use nbt

[river oracle]

May be dumb but your package names are also fucked don't use capitals in the future though that's prob not the issue

[torpid sapphire]

is there a way to cancel a PlayerItemBreakEvent? its not cancelable so i tried to work around that by setting the stack size to 2, but then the durability completely resets and is impossible to change since its reset after the event

[torn jewel]

im teaching my freind java whilst doing it and he made a few of the packages and im not bothered to refractor

ik its dumb

[young knoll]

Doubt it

Cancel the durability event instead

[wary topaz]

Guys I got a question, if I return false does it use config.yml default usage?

[eternal oxide]

That question makes no sense

usage? as in command? Thats plugin.yml not config

[wary topaz]

I dont want /tp <player> there

[young knoll]

return true then

[wary topaz]

Oh I mean plugin

okay thats what I was asking, thanks

[torpid sapphire]

that event actually works a lot better for what i want to do anyway, didnt know thats a thing

thanks

[torn jewel]

does PlayerTabCompleteEvent get its name changed?

[sterile token]

You can do: event.getPlayer()

[eternal oxide]

This event is no longer fired due to client changes

[sterile token]

I think

[sterile token]

Oh...

And what you can do for that so?

[torn jewel]

ohh umm

is there a way around it

[eternal oxide]

there Chat tab complete and Tab complete

chat tab is depreciated and no longer fires

[sterile token]

TabCompleteEvent

Also

[torn jewel]

so how can i make my plugin with that event work for 1.8 and 1.19

[eternal oxide]

TabComplete is on commands

[sterile token]

He want it for commands

I suppouse

[torn jewel]

yes

[sterile token]

why would you need to tab complete if not a command

🤔

[eternal oxide]

What are you trying to achieve?

[sterile token]

He is trying to player arg name get uato complete

[young knoll]

It used to be fired for tab completing player names in chat

[torn jewel]

i need the tab completer working for my command as the regular method does not work

[young knoll]

But now the client gets all that info and stores it

[eternal oxide]

implement TabExecutor instead of CommandExecutor

[sterile token]

What a shity improovement they have been adding to the game

[young knoll]

The regular method certain does work

[sterile token]

A class cannot have more than 1 super class

[young knoll]

Okay well

1. implements is not a super class

[eternal oxide]

? I said implement instead of

[torn jewel]

i register commands directly too the commandmap

[young knoll]

2. They said instead

[sterile token]

oh i always confuse them

[young knoll]

I mean

It still works

I’ve done tab completion with direct injection to the command map

[sterile token]

super class is extends and implements is for interfaces

[sterile token]

yeah is how you should do it

[torn jewel]

i need the plugincommandclass for the setTabcompleteor() Method whilst i only have the Command class

[young knoll]

What

[eternal oxide]

If you want to remove commands you should remove the command permission from that player.
If you want to simple control tab completion of command arguments then implement TabExecutor

[sterile token]

I would just make a class called CustomExecutor (add a better name), implements TabCompleter and CommandExecutor

And then each command extends that class. Finally register each CustomExecutor thru CommandMap

[torn jewel]

yes but the tabcompletor thing doesnt run

[sterile token]

Hmn are u sure?

[young knoll]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[sterile token]

I think you are not registering the tab completer for the command

[torn jewel]

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

[sterile token]

I mean you should be only registering the command executor

yeah

As i suppoused

[torn jewel]

which i cant do

[young knoll]

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

That’s what I used

[torn jewel]

due to not having a command class

[sterile token]

is ModularPlugin custom?

I wondering a modular system for spigot and bungee plugins

haha

[young knoll]

Mhm

That’s an older plugin, don’t remember much of it

[young knoll]

Like why there is a tab complete method with a location argument

[sterile token]

i have looked on github

And i cannot find it

[young knoll]

Either way, it worked

It’s a private repo

[sterile token]

oh

that why :sad:

😮‍💨

i dont think you can show it to another

This encapsulation will provide them for adding/removing right?

[young knoll]

I believe so

[sterile token]

I need to buy friends where i can do it?

[young knoll]

You should return an immutable copy instead

[sterile token]

Do you want to be my friend i can pay you?

[onyx fjord]

Can I somehow add a message to error that comes from shaded library?

Additional message

[worldly ingot]

i.e. a runtime exception?

[onyx fjord]

Let's say shaded dependency throws exception, I want to add few lines to tell people not to report bugs to the library team

So yea

Runtime exception

[worldly ingot]

You can catch and rethrow with a new message if you want

[sterile token]

Logger.getLogger("package.LoggerClass").setLevel(Level.OFF);

[onyx fjord]

What why set level off lol

[sterile token]

Oh its an exception

I thought it was a logger message

[onyx fjord]

How am I gonna listen to the thing happening tho

[sterile token]

try {

} catch (Exception ex) {
}

[worldly ingot]

Are you not running any code that throws it?

[sterile token]

And re throw it

[onyx fjord]

Yes kinda

But the library works on its own in meantime

Some errors come from it without my code

[sterile token]

Choco do you want to be paid for being a friend?

[onyx fjord]

Bruh

[vocal cloud]

[onyx fjord]

That sounds abstract

Like choco was real estate

[sterile token]

what?

i dont have friends

[river oracle]

Make some get out and socialize

You probably can even if you think you can't slightly altering your personality helps

[sterile token]

I have to pay them because they are falser than me getting out with a girl having a gf

[river oracle]

Huh that didn't translate well falser not a word

[sterile token]

is it more false?

Because false is a shot adjetive

[river oracle]

Still doesn't make sense why pay someone to be your friend because they are false

[sterile token]

I making ref that a paid friend would be less false than one of those that said that you are his best friend when they are talking in front of your noose

[young knoll]

I

Disagree

[river oracle]

I still don't get that sentence lol but making friends is fairly easy given you are a smooth talker though I'll admit that isn't everyone's thing

[sterile token]

Im not talktive

I mean i dont really talk much

[river oracle]

Me either but in perfectly willing to talk to someone if they initiate with me

[echo basalt]

I met my homie when one day he pulled up in programming class and aced the tests after watching a python video over the weekend

I then showed him mzunguhosting (a troll web hosting website) and he thought it was goofy

[dire marsh]

humans are not real

[onyx fjord]

Have you ever saw a human?

Me neither

[dire marsh]

nop

i sit inside all day programming never seen one so cant be real

[onyx fjord]

@dire marsh you saw this?

Bruh

[dire marsh]

no

[onyx fjord]

Minecraft apparently has unused dupe fixes

[dire marsh]

lol

what class that in

[waxen plinth]

That means they were left in intentionally

[onyx fjord]

They were

[waxen plinth]

TNT dupers are known to be left intentionally now

[onyx fjord]

But sand is too broken

[dire marsh]

so

[onyx fjord]

It's just laggy

[dire marsh]

papermc bad

[waxen plinth]

Sliced lime said himself that they're going to leave it in so long as there's no other way to fully automatically mine blocks and get drops

[dire marsh]

not following vanilla

smh

[waxen plinth]

You can disable those patches on paper if you want

[young knoll]

Moveable tile entities plz

[onyx fjord]

What about sand

[waxen plinth]

Not sure

[young knoll]

Sand is not renewable

Afaik

Hence them leaving it

[onyx fjord]

But the world is huge

[waxen plinth]

True but does it need to be?

[dire marsh]

yep but then no support, should be other way around smh

[waxen plinth]

Find one desert and you should literally never run out

[onyx fjord]

Diamond ores are also not renewable

[wary topaz]

Guys if I do /tp e, How can I make it autofill so when I say in chat arg1 or something it says the full username of the target (ethanog)

[onyx fjord]

And you can't dupe them

0 logic

[waxen plinth]

Could you elaborate more

[young knoll]

Diamond ore isn't a basic resource like sand

Which is used for a bunch of stuff

[waxen plinth]

Diamond is a basic resource

[onyx fjord]

The world is big enough

[young knoll]

Not on servers with a border

[onyx fjord]

Skill issue

[young knoll]

Either way idk if that's the reason

[onyx fjord]

Add admin shop then

[young knoll]

I'm just guessing

[dire marsh]

coal should convert to diamond over time 👍

[wary topaz]

Usage: /tp <player>
If I do /tp E
My chat will say, "You successfully teleported to E"
I want it to autofill and say the full playername that it used, such as EthanOG.

[onyx fjord]

Fax

[waxen plinth]

Ok I'm guessing you did something like Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0])

[onyx fjord]

Loop thru online player names and do starts with

[waxen plinth]

And then sent args[0] as the name too

[wary topaz]

Correct.

[waxen plinth]

Ok

Just call getName() on the Player returned by Bukkit.getPlayer(String)

[wary topaz]

But than it will be set to "e"

[waxen plinth]

That will get the full name of the player

[wary topaz]

But if I use arg it wont say that

[onyx fjord]

Check what i said

[young knoll]

This is what getPlayer is for

[onyx fjord]

Lol

Rly

[wary topaz]

Idk how to do that

[young knoll]

mhm

[wary topaz]

I'm new to coding

[waxen plinth]

You don't know how to call getName()?

[wary topaz]

ya

[onyx fjord]

Rich api

[waxen plinth]

Well if you're that new you shouldn't be writing plugins

[young knoll]

getPlayer does some funky stuff

[waxen plinth]

You should learn the fundamentals

[wary topaz]

I'm not that new

[young knoll]

getPlayerExact is well, exact

[wary topaz]

I know java

[waxen plinth]

Clearly not

[young knoll]

I know java

[waxen plinth]

If you don't know how to call getName() on the player object

[wary topaz]

p.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "You successfully teleported " + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + args[0] + ChatColor.YELLOW + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + " to " + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + args[1] + ChatColor.YELLOW + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + ".");
        return true;

[onyx fjord]

Holly shit

[upper vale]

wha tthe fuck

[onyx fjord]

Ever heard of translating colour codes?

[wary topaz]

They dont work

[onyx fjord]

Bruh

[young knoll]

tbf you should technically use the enum

But still

[waxen plinth]

I know java
clearly does not know java

[dire marsh]

looks worse than adventure

[waxen plinth]

Go learn java

[dire marsh]

impossible

[waxen plinth]

ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes

[upper vale]

alternate

[waxen plinth]

God damn what a long method name

[onyx fjord]

Char, string I believe as args

[upper vale]

yeah

[wary topaz]

bro can you help me with the problems I did not ask for you to rerattle me

[waxen plinth]

Well if you don't know how to call a method

[onyx fjord]

We give good advice

[waxen plinth]

Maybe that's the problem to address first

[onyx fjord]

At least try to

[dire marsh]

welcome to spigot where we give sarcastic help

[waxen plinth]

If we just tell you what the answer is, you will walk away without any gained knowledge

Increasing your dependence on us

[wary topaz]

So explain it again.

[onyx fjord]

@waxen plinth there are people for sure that will put Player#getName() in the code literally when you tell them to

[waxen plinth]

You get the player object from Bukkit.getPlayer

[onyx fjord]

With the #

[waxen plinth]

You can then call getName() on the returned player

Which will return the name of that player

I'm not going to break it down any simpler than that because we're already straying into the territory of helping you with fundamental java rather than anything spigot-specific

[onyx fjord]

Autocomplete should've told you

Ctrl space is your friend

[waxen plinth]

There's also no real reason to allow incomplete player names in the command

[dire marsh]

inb4 paint ide

[wary topaz]

Didn't work yo

[waxen plinth]

.-.

Instead of just saying "didn't work"

Post your full code

[onyx fjord]

Is there player that name starts with et thp

[wary topaz]

uhh you mean the 300 line madness?

[onyx fjord]

Oh god

[waxen plinth]

Matter of fact, posting the full code is probably the first thing you should have done

[upper vale]

you have a 300 line teleport command?

[onyx fjord]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[wary topaz]

Sarcastic answer

[onyx fjord]

I wanna see it badly

[waxen plinth]

You don't need to show literally everything, show what's relevant

[wary topaz]

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

[upper vale]

you literally did not do what redempt told you to do

[onyx fjord]

I expected worse

[wary topaz]

wait I gave you the non updated thing

let me fix thast

[waxen plinth]

Call getName() on the Player, it will return the player's full name

[onyx fjord]

Am I tripping or he doesn't even have what redempt said in code

[upper vale]

there are 0 occurrences of getName lmao

[wary topaz]

bruh it deleted let me do it again

[waxen plinth]

I really wish there was a separate help channel for intermediate-advanced questions

[dire marsh]

need to be verified + min 3 resources

[onyx fjord]

We help as we can

[waxen plinth]

Nah

[dire marsh]

and pay md_5 10$

[onyx fjord]

Donate*

[dire marsh]

bribe*

[wary topaz]

https://paste.md-5.net/ilajiyevik.java fixed

[onyx fjord]

Fixed you mean it works?

[wary topaz]

no

[waxen plinth]

What the fuck

I didn't even know Bukkit.getName() was a thing

[upper vale]

what the fuck

LMAO

[waxen plinth]

But anyways that's not even close to what I told you to do and demonstrates a lack of understanding of fundamental java

So again, I'm going to tell you to go back and brush up on the basics

[onyx fjord]

Java rabbit hole

[waxen plinth]

Specifically classes and methods

[onyx fjord]

Remind me to make java iceberg

[wary topaz]

You're supposed to help me, not rerittle me,

[upper vale]

sorry im not trying to like discourage you but you can't say you know java and then do that

[waxen plinth]

I am helping you

If I gave you the answer your understanding of java would not improve

Stop expecting us to just tell you what the right answer is

[upper vale]

redempt has given you MORE than crystal clear instructions

[wary topaz]

My knowledge is not the factor here, My question is.

[upper vale]

who

what

[vocal cloud]

It absolutely is

[waxen plinth]

The answer is incredibly obvious to anyone who understands the basics of java

[onyx fjord]

You expect us to write it for you?

[waxen plinth]

If you don't understand it, then you don't understand the basics of java

And if you don't understand the basics of java, you shouldn't be trying to write plugins yet

We're not going to sit here and tell you what to type character-by-character

Because if we do that, you're just going to keep expecting that of us

[wary topaz]

Listen, I've just moved on from script and I wanted to give plugin java development a try.

[onyx fjord]

I didn't know java when I started, I mean I did but not stuff like OOP concepts

[waxen plinth]

That's fine, but you need to actually learn java first

[onyx fjord]

But i knew js that helped me start

[waxen plinth]

If you don't understand java then you won't be able to write plugins effectively

[wary topaz]

I took a java course for 3 hours

[waxen plinth]

Yeah that's not sufficient

[onyx fjord]

3 hours non stop?

[wary topaz]

It was a video

[waxen plinth]

I'd say it takes ~1 week minimum to have a solid enough grasp of java to write plugins

[wary topaz]

first explaining how to start a minecraft plugin

[vocal cloud]

Is this a troll?

[onyx fjord]

Don't use school learning practices

[wary topaz]

No....

[waxen plinth]

Ethan

I'm sorry that this is going to sound rude

But please stop wasting our time

There are TONS of online learning resources for java

[onyx fjord]

?learnjava

[undone axle]

Here are some links to get you started on learning Java:

• https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-java
• https://www.sololearn.com/learning/1068
• https://www.learnjavaonline.org/
• https://programmingbydoing.com/
• https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/index.html

The last one is the only official one, however some of those concepts assume that you already know a bit about programming.

[waxen plinth]

I'm not going to teach it to you myself because I have better things to do, and I'm not going to give away answers because then you're just going to keep asking us to solve things for you that you don't understand

[onyx fjord]

Codeacademy is good because it teaches by writing

[wary topaz]

😮‍💨

[waxen plinth]

Programming isn't something you learn in a day

It's going to take time to develop an understanding of the concepts, especially OOP

Don't let it discourage you, and don't take the easy way out

[onyx fjord]

Some words sounds scary like lambda

[wary topaz]

It's just a chat command though.

[waxen plinth]

And next time it'll be something else

[onyx fjord]

Yeah totally basics

[waxen plinth]

Look, basically I'm telling you that you have a gun pointed at your foot

[wary topaz]

tf

[waxen plinth]

And I'm trying to tell you to take a gun safety class, but you're really insisting on shooting yourself in the foot

[wary topaz]

🦶 🔫

[waxen plinth]

If I give you the answer, that's what happens

Your code works but you don't understand why

[wary topaz]

I do though

[waxen plinth]

If you would have understood why, then you'd have understood what I said the solution was

[onyx fjord]

Bukkit.getPlayer(...).getName()
Isn't it basically it

On mobile can't tell ya

I need to print spigot javadocs

[gray merlin]

I've followed the stuff over at ?buildtools but it seems like it is to install the servers? I'm not sure if i'm missing something here, but is that how I install the API to develop?

[onyx fjord]

It builds the server jar

API is in sonatype I believe

[dire marsh]

Ah, I just print them into my head

[onyx fjord]

@gray merlin Google spigot gradle or spigot maven depending what you use

[worldly ingot]

?maven

[undone axle]

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

[gray merlin]

Ah thank you. The change seems weird though, why did they take 1.15+ it out from the official maven repo? This way we can't install it automatically using ide's

[worldly ingot]

It's been on the Spigot repo since 1.8

Only the API though. The server was never on the repo

[onyx fjord]

DMCA?

[gray merlin]

I can find the versions up to 1.14.3 on the official one

But I see

[worldly ingot]

No. Minecraft proprietary software

[worldly ingot]

?

[onyx fjord]

Weird i think my setup uses sonatype

Repo

[worldly ingot]

Oh. The CraftBukkit artifacts on Maven Central? Entirely unaffiliated with us and those should not be on there

[gray merlin]

Ah nevermind, I was thinking of craftbukkit

[worldly ingot]

All our stuff is on our own Sonatype repo

[onyx fjord]

Yee

[worldly ingot]

Nexus, rather. https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/

[gray merlin]

I thought Bukkit, CB and Spigot were all from the same team of people though?

[worldly ingot]

We maintain all three, yeah

[onyx fjord]

Currently yes

[worldly ingot]

Though we've never published on Maven Central

You'll find the Bukkit & Spigot APIs on the Nexus there, but you won't find the servers

Servers are built with BuildTools and installed to your local Maven repo

[onyx fjord]

You also need to build if you want remapped jaes

Jars

[gray merlin]

So, someone else uploaded those without you guys' consent? That's just bad.

[worldly ingot]

Ye

[onyx fjord]

They wouldn't mind I think

[worldly ingot]

Though those people should be less afraid of us, more of Mojang lol

[gray merlin]

I'll keep that in mind going forward, I thought those were official

[onyx fjord]

It's just that legality is questionable

Ye

[gray merlin]

Oh? Mojang can take them down?

[worldly ingot]

If it were up to us, we'd have a straight up download for these things.

Only thing stopping us is that CraftBukkit contains Mojang's code

[onyx fjord]

It's modified mojang server at the end of the day

[young knoll]

Cough cough paperclip

hehe

[onyx fjord]

🤓

[worldly ingot]

Even that downloads the vanilla server

[young knoll]

Yeah but it's still a straight download to the average user

[onyx fjord]

Building jar is a good lesson

You learn a lot

It's basically the same command as to start server

[gray merlin]

I see.

[onyx fjord]

But if you only need spigot API you don't need bt

That's publicly available

[gray merlin]

Does craftbukkit include apache commons and spigot not?

[waxen plinth]

I think spigot no longer includes apache commons as of pretty recently

Unless I'm thinking of something else

[young knoll]

IIrc it does at runtime

[upper vale]

They removed apache commons lang

replaced by lang3 iirc

[young knoll]

Yeah I have it in gradle as compileOnly

[waxen plinth]

Is it in the libraries folder

Yep

I love how that's a thing now, genuinely great feature

[scarlet creek]

Is there an event to cancel arrow collision?

[arctic moth]

i left my pc afk for a few hours and my server is slowly getting laggier

is this a sign of a memory leak?

[river oracle]

arrow collisions? afaik collision is done client sided no?

[river oracle]

mememmemmememory leak

[gaunt hatch]

Any know what event is fired when MANGROVE_PROPAGULE grows from MANGROVE leaves? I dont see it fire on GrowEvent, thinking maybe something in hanging, but not see anyting fired

[river oracle]

StructureGrowEvent

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/world/StructureGrowEvent.html

[arctic moth]

mobs are starting to fall through the map

[gaunt hatch]

That is the tree, but i mean the part that grows from under the leaves.

[river oracle]

hmmm Idk if that'd trigger an event 🤔

I mean you could see if its under Structure Grow event

[gaunt hatch]

That is what i am seeing I can't find it in spigot code anywhere or see a event. And was thinking i might be missing someting. Might need to put in a request for a change to spigot for it

[river oracle]

its quite possible it is

[gaunt hatch]

it's not

[river oracle]

than pr it yourself is probably best option

[gaunt hatch]

okey dokey

[eternal oxide]

theres probably no event as its Ageable

[gaunt hatch]

Crops are agable and it fired a grow event.

Thinking maybe it was forgotten or missed.

[young knoll]

It might be like

BlockToFrom or BlockForm

[gaunt hatch]

not those either

I have tired the following

BlockSpreadEvent
BlockGrowEvent
StructureGrowEvent
BlockFadeEvent
BlockFormEvent
BlockFromToEvent

[eternal oxide]

I'll assume you also checked the BlockGrowEvent

[gaunt hatch]

Yea

I have a plugin i made that lets me listen to those events (along with others) and show me what block its trying to use so I can find it the event and stop it.

[sharp portal]

Does using § in strings still work in spigot 1.19? Or is it my java version that is breaking it?

[young knoll]

It should

But like, I wouldn't recommend it

[drowsy helm]

just use translateColorCodes

[worldly ingot]

I don't think propagules grow from the trees randomly

Only with bonemeal

[sharp portal]

Gross.
I feel bad when I use chatColor since I know it can/could be done with just '§'

[drowsy helm]

just being lazy lol

§ is super inconvenient in the longterm

[sharp portal]

But like § worked universally. With fabric, spigot, bukkit, bungee, forge

and windows has a shortcut to type §

and on linux it is easy to add (depending on de)

[worldly ingot]

And it will break entirely if your system encoding is incorrect

ChatColor makes use of the section symbol internally and it's easier to read

[drowsy helm]

^

[sharp portal]

Okay here is what my issue was.

When checking the name of an item that has a custom name with chat color

using chatcolor translate alternate color codes doesn't return true on a .equals

[drowsy helm]

in most cases if you are checking the name, you are doing it wrong

use pdc

[sharp portal]

I'm not sure what pdc is

[drowsy helm]

?pdc

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-guide-to-1-14-persistentdataholder-api.371200/

[drowsy helm]

wrapper for nbt

[sharp portal]

Yeah that works.

Thank you

[drowsy helm]

im guessing you are doing custom items?

[sharp portal]

Yeah

[drowsy helm]

yeah, using nbt allows your items to have any name oyu want aswell

will stop anvil renaming issues

[terse panther]

About Scoreboard API integred on Spigot, what is the difference between MainScoreboard and a new scoreboard created?

Could be the main scoreboard always shows at player and a new scoreboard I have to set it to the player?

[ornate patio]

i can use private methods as event handlers right

[worldly ingot]

Yes

[ornate patio]

k thanks

[wary topaz]

https://paste.md-5.net/oxoxafedux.java
Hopefully someone can fix this mess, in the code it's pretty obvious on what i'm trying to do.

[river oracle]

If you don't want to use teams i reccomend using something like Fastboard

A usable alternative to the hell hole that is that damn scoreboard api

I for the life of me still can not figure it out ive sunken hours into research and attempts and docs to figure it out and I just can't

I honestly am scared at the nms behind that shit more than anything else on earth

[terse panther]

hell yeah, the documentation about scoreboard api is not good at all

But according Mickey (fastboard creator) it can't create teams :(

[river oracle]

Why is it I can learn bungee messaging channels faster than damn scoreboards

[river oracle]

Why are you going to use teams just curious

[terse panther]

anyway thanks for the advice, and yes, scoreboards with Fastboard is veryyy good

[terse panther]

something like this

[river oracle]

Ahhh yep have fun best of luck to you

[terse panther]

thanks man! :)

[river oracle]

I spent 5 hours tryna figure that shit out and gave up smh

[drowsy helm]

just use a team prefix

[terse panther]

Yeah xD
I spent many hours for three days haha, but today I got an advance

[river oracle]

Iirc luckpe3ms is open source it'd probably be very convoluted but check in there code

[terse panther]

Okay, really thanks!

[wary topaz]

bump!

[river oracle]

No

Not for free

[wary topaz]

?

[river oracle]

I'm cheap though 15 dollars an hour

[wary topaz]

Oh I meant the error in the code

I need someone to fix that

[river oracle]

Bro it's a syntax error lol

Literally tells you what's wrong mate

Line 20 it says oncommand is already defined

[flint coyote]

depending on what you do for that I'm sure you will find customers 💀

Saying "I'm cheap" sounds very wrong in that context.

[wary topaz]

Y2k the error marker isn't fixing it, it's just making more errors

[drowsy helm]

jsut use acf bruh

[river oracle]

Lol I'm fucking around I am too busy to take commissions lmao

Also I wouldn't do commissions before actually contributing good open source free content

[river oracle]

I'm a lamp kinda guy lol

[drowsy helm]

either way

a command lib is miles better than bukkit command stuff

[river oracle]

I was confused for a second lmao I saw my name first than read your sentence

[wary topaz]

Can someone make me a ontabcomplete thnig?

Thing*

[river oracle]

Acf

[drowsy helm]

no one is going to make it for you

learn how to do it

[river oracle]

Again for 15 dollars an hour I can

Hell u know what just for you ill do 14.99 an hour chap

[wary topaz]

I just want a online player array and picked one to be arg 1

[eternal oxide]

I'll do it for 15.25

[river oracle]

Fuck yoh I'll do it for 20

[eternal oxide]

21!

[river oracle]

24

[flint coyote]

I won't touch code before 25

[wary topaz]

its four fucking lines of code

[river oracle]

No one beate my project

[eternal oxide]

ok you win. I can;t beat that

[river oracle]

No it's 5

At least

[drowsy helm]

? do it yourself then

[wary topaz]

oh yeah forgot return true;

[river oracle]

Lmfao comedic

The amount of times I do that shit lol

[wary topaz]

all i want is when the player does /tp e the return message will be you teleported to ethanog

[eternal oxide]

u, thats nothign to do with tabcomplete

[flint coyote]

And we told you how to do it

[wary topaz]

uhh you did/

?

[flint coyote]

getPlayer(args[0]).getName()

or displayName. whatever you prefer

[wary topaz]

where in chat was that

[flint coyote]

nvm that was another guy. I recently read old messages since I just woke up. My bad

[wary topaz]

should i put that in p.sendMessage(getPlayer(args[0]).getName(); + "");
?
Will that work?

[flint coyote]

uhm you should be getting a syntax error on that

Bukkit.getPlayer()

[wary topaz]

No errors

but will it work as intended?

[flint coyote]

yes it should

[wary topaz]

ok tyvm

[flint coyote]

Guess you don't need Bukkit then. I always used it. woops

[river oracle]

Bruh remember to try catch player get attempts

[wary topaz]

https://paste.md-5.net/iwafuyurol.java
https://paste.md-5.net/soqasiheki.sql

could ya help me fix this error

[flint coyote]

it doesn't find a player

[drowsy helm]

        Player target = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
        if (target == null) {
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "Could not find player " + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + ChatColor.BOLD + getPlayer(args[0]).getName() + ChatColor.RED + ChatColor.BOLD + "!");
            return true;
        }```

makes no sense

you are checking if the player is null

then getting the name of the null player

use args[0] instead of getPlayer(args[0]).getName()

[wary topaz]

ah shit I did mass replace so that's why

[flint coyote]

Yeah you can only use getPlayer().getName() when it actually found a player

[wary topaz]

Should I do the same for target2?

[flint coyote]

otherwise you have to stick with args[0]

[drowsy helm]

no

on the second bit

[wary topaz]

keep the second bit the same?

[drowsy helm]

other way around

keep the first one, change the second

[flint coyote]

getPlayer(args[0]) is fine. Just don't call getName on it unless it's non null

[wary topaz]

But I never called getname?

for that

[drowsy helm]

            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "Could not find player " + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + ChatColor.BOLD + getPlayer(args[0]).getName() + ChatColor.RED + ChatColor.BOLD + "!");```

right there

you call it

[wary topaz]

ah shit

Wait

but that's a message

[flint coyote]

so?

same rules apply

[wary topaz]

It's trying to call the player's name with the autocorrect

[drowsy helm]

which wont work

since thte player doesnt exist

[wary topaz]

holly shit

i feel so stupid

LMFAO

[flint coyote]

If I give you a book with an empty cover and tell you to tell me the name on the cover you won't be able to either

You can however tell me that you got a book

So as long as nobody asks for the name you are fine. It's the same in here

[wary topaz]

It's looking for a empty var which nulls

did I do that on the target 2 check?

yes I did

fuck

[flint coyote]

Well ok my example lacks something. Lets retry:

I'll tell you that I'll give you a book. Then instead I give you nothing and ask you: What's the name of the book?

Ofc you'll say wtf you didn't give me a book, how am I supposed to tell you the title?

[wary topaz]

uhh I got the same error

I might've compiled from

[flint coyote]

Or you still didn't fix it^^

[wary topaz]

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

testing ingame rn

[drowsy helm]

        if (target2 == null) {
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "Could not find player " + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + ChatColor.BOLD + getPlayer(args[1]).getName() + ChatColor.RED + ChatColor.BOLD + ".");
            return true;
        }```

[wary topaz]

still errored

DID I NOT -

ah fuck I changed it for the successful
message,

[drowsy helm]

also you already have teh target and target 2 variables

use them

instead of getPlayer

each time

[wary topaz]

oo alright

Error: Method call expected

[drowsy helm]

what line

[wary topaz]

I did not type null -

oh waeit

[flint coyote]

Player target = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
if (target == null) {
p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "Could not find player " + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + ChatColor.BOLD + getPlayer(args[0]) + ChatColor.RED + ChatColor.BOLD + "!");
return true;
}
You don't wanna use getPlayer here

[wary topaz]

wait

[flint coyote]

while it works you will get "null"

use args[0] without getplayer there

[wary topaz]

ya ik

i just fixed that

[drowsy helm]

https://github.com/aikar/commands

check this out

will make your life much easier

[wary topaz]

what does it do

[drowsy helm]

a command framework

one sec ill show that same command with this framework

[eternal oxide]

p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "Could not find player " + ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + ChatColor.BOLD + args[0] + ChatColor.RED + ChatColor.BOLD + "!");```

[wary topaz]

I ran my code and now have no errors 😄

now to do the finishing touches,.

[drowsy helm]

@CommandAlias("tp|teleport")
public class TeleportCommand extends BaseCommand {

    @Default
    public void tp(Player player, OnlinePlayer target){
        player.teleport(target.getPlayer().getLocation());
        player.sendMessage("Successfully teleported to " + target.getPlayer().getName());
    }

    @Default
    public void tp(Player player, OnlinePlayer from, OnlinePlayer target){
        from.getPlayer().teleport(target.getPlayer().getLocation());
        player.sendMessage("Successfully teleported " from.getPlayer().getName() + "  to " + target.getPlayer().getName());
    }
}

same command

[wary topaz]

Wait what

Is there a way to make my command more complex?

[flint coyote]

uhm yes but doesnt make sense on a tp

[wary topaz]

code*

[drowsy helm]

make it more complex?

[flint coyote]

??

[drowsy helm]

in what sense

[flint coyote]

make it more code?

[wary topaz]

Well I have multible duplicate lines

of messages

[drowsy helm]

less complex you mean?

[wary topaz]

Complex = less space

[flint coyote]

uhm no

[drowsy helm]

no it doesnt lol

complex means more complicated

[wary topaz]

oh I mean that

I need it to be more complicated and smaller

[flint coyote]

Usually smaller means less complicated

[wary topaz]

BIgger than ;-;

LOL

[drowsy helm]

probably

i can write an example up if oyu want

[wary topaz]

https://paste.md-5.net/hirimuqogu.java
here is my current code btw

everything works, surprisingly

more complex for example, if target == null, We can duplicate that line to also have target2 == null

than the rest of the code is basically the same but for the differences we add a colon

I just- dont know how to do that

if target2 and target == p, they have the exact same lines of code

[drowsy helm]

https://pastebin.com/id6DRN3w

somethingl ike this

but again, a command framework would be better

[wary topaz]

How would I make this work/

[drowsy helm]

what are you trying to do

[wary topaz]

make target 2 and target get checked if they both = p and run that command down on the bottom without using too much space

[drowsy helm]

if(target == p || target2 == p)

[wary topaz]

tysm

[earnest forum]

use && if you want both conditions to be true

|| is if one of them (one OR the other)

line 28

[wary topaz]

ty

I'm having trouble fixing that issue

wait nvm I got it

[earnest forum]

with the array index out of bounds?

remember that an array starts at 0

so the first value is array[0]

the error is your trying to call array[1] which is the second value, for an array that has only 1 value

[wary topaz]

ya thats why it erroed

errored*

yay time to make a message system

[torn shuttle]

Quick q: anyone have any idea why I'm getting "Cannot create a world while worlds are being ticked"?

I am dead sure I've seen this error before but it's been years

[chrome beacon]

https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/blob/master/patches/server/0900-Throw-exception-on-world-create-while-being-ticked.patch#L45

Seems to be a paper thing

[torn shuttle]

hrm

[cobalt thorn]

how i can put custom UUID inside the Item NBT and then check it?

[torn shuttle]

guess I'll ask them

[valid sorrel]

I'm trying to make a plugin with protocollib and trying to modify packets

but I'm having some trouble

[chrome beacon]

?pdc

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-guide-to-1-14-persistentdataholder-api.371200/

[cobalt thorn]

they can do this too?

[valid sorrel]

so I get a boolean field from a PacketContainer by doing .getBooleans().getField(n) but then I don't get how to use setBoolean()

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

[valid sorrel]

specifically there is an argument that accepts an Object and I don't get what that is for

ohhh

I can do .write

I was confused because of read&write instead of get&set

[cobalt thorn]

sorry for the ping but i can't input PersistentDataType.UUID or how i can?

[chrome beacon]

You will need to create your own DataType for UUID

[cobalt thorn]

how?

[chrome beacon]

Now I recommend you actually read the page I sent

[valid sorrel]

hmm

why does it say the packet has 0 fields

it's a login start packet

[tardy delta]

Byte[]

[fiery prairie]

How would I check if the player has a cracked account or real minecraft account in PlayerJoinEvent

?

[harsh totem]

does anyone else get this error? idk what to do, I have already relaunched my game and it didn't fix it. please help

i can't join any server

[onyx fjord]

It's nothing related to your game I believe

Can you enter other servers¿

[harsh totem]

I can't join any server

[onyx fjord]

Then mojangs fault

Most likely

[harsh totem]

but anyone else can join servers now

[onyx fjord]

Hm

Firewall maybe?

[harsh totem]

I didn't do anything related to it

[onyx fjord]

Are you running any firewall tho

[harsh totem]

nope

[onyx fjord]

What OS

[harsh totem]

what is OS

[onyx fjord]

Operating system

[harsh totem]

windows

[onyx fjord]

Then you have fireworks by default, faulty one

Firewall*

[harsh totem]

but then why would it cause this problem only now?

i have been playing for years

[onyx fjord]

Not sure

Can't think of anything else

[harsh totem]

i don't think it is related to the default firewall

[onyx fjord]

Can you try pinging mojangs Auth server?

[harsh totem]

i'll try restart my pc

[harsh totem]

it fixed it. thanks for your help anyways @onyx fjord

[onyx fjord]

💀

[buoyant viper]

some servers like hypixel have their own backup authentication method, try a server u know that doesnt do this or spin up ur own and ask someone to connect

[boreal sparrow]

how would you clear the console of the server?

[rough drift]

send a lot of messages?

[tardy delta]

Ctrl + l works on my Linux console

F discord on phone sucks

[boreal sparrow]

i tried that but you can just scroll up

[rough drift]

with enough messages not

[boreal sparrow]

yea true

i tried 10k

still not enough

neither was 100k

1 mil time

[scarlet creek]

I noticed that playerInteractEvent would be called twice if you look at the ground with a block underneath you

I think this is because the event checks for both clicking in air and on a block, how do I make it only choose 1 so the event doesn’t fire twice?

[flint coyote]

no it's for both hands

you will always get 2 events. You have to choose what hand matters for your case by an if statement

?interactevent

[undone axle]

The PlayerInteractEvent may be called once per hand. If you only want code to be executed once, you can check the result of https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInteractEvent.html#getHand(), then decide functionality.

For example, only executing code if the main hand was used:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
    if (event.getHand() != EquipmentSlot.HAND) { // * if the hand used is NOT the main hand:
        return; // do not progress past this point  |
    }
    // provide functionality
}

[scarlet creek]

Oh I see

Thanks!

[smoky oak]

i recall that i always did some sort of 'right click only' check on my interact events

[flint coyote]

Yeah but you would still get a right click for both hands

[scarlet creek]

Thanks for the help!

[grim ice]

that's dumb tbh

u cant even use both hands

in mc

except for shields and stuff

u cant dual wield

[flint coyote]

it's not my design that there's always 2 events

[undone spindle]

one of my plugins is not working and i dont understand what it wants

[flint coyote]

also you can technically hold a torch in both hands

[flint coyote]

• do you have the same plugin on your server multiple times?
• do you create an instance of your main class manually?
• do you have the same package structure for multiple of your plugins?

[undone spindle]

yeah i created an instance

package com.dami.kingdomManager;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

import com.dami.KingdomInfo.Kingdom;
import com.dami.Permissions.Permissions;

public class KingdomManager extends JavaPlugin{
    private static KingdomManager instance;
    
    public ArrayList<Kingdom> kingdoms = new ArrayList<Kingdom>();
    
    private Permissions permissions = new Permissions(this);
     public KingdomManager() 
     {
         instance = this;
     }
     
    public void onEnable() {
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(permissions, this);
    }
    
     
     public static KingdomManager getInstance() {
            return instance;
        }
     
     public Permissions getPermissions() {
         return permissions;
     }

}

thats the line saying private Permissions permissions = new Permissions(this);

[flint coyote]

actually the Permissions constructor should be fine

I think him defining a constructor is the problem

[undone spindle]

defining this?

[flint coyote]

Defining
public KingdomManager()

[undone spindle]

that should be allowed

package com.dami.main;

import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

import com.dami.claiming.ClaimSelectedArea;
import com.dami.selecting.CancelEvents;
import com.dami.selecting.Select;


public class KingdomClaims extends JavaPlugin {
    public Select select = new Select(this);
    public ClaimSelectedArea claimSelectedArea = new ClaimSelectedArea(this);
    private static KingdomClaims instance;
     
     public KingdomClaims() 
     {
         instance = this;
            
         this.select = new Select(this);
         this.claimSelectedArea = new ClaimSelectedArea(this);
     }
     
    @Override
    public void onEnable()
    {
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new CancelEvents(this), this);
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(select, this);
    }
    
    
    public static KingdomClaims getInstance() {
        return instance;
    }
    
    public Select getSelect() {
        return select;
    }
    
    public ClaimSelectedArea getClaimSA() {
        return claimSelectedArea;
    }
  
    

}

this is another script that does work where i do the same thing

[flint coyote]

Hmm alright

[undone spindle]

wait i think i know where i messed up i cant extend javaplugin in permissions unless i put it as main right?

[flint coyote]

yes

Why would you extend JavaPlugin in Permissions anyway?

[undone spindle]

i was trying something out

cus something didnt owrk

work

[flint coyote]

what if you need multiple permissions for subcommands?

[undone spindle]

wait i need to put in the permissions that are in my config?

[flint coyote]

I did all the checks myself so far. So if that would work completely from the plugin.yml that would be cool

how would it work for
/money requiring example.money
and
/money add requiring example.money.add ?

just as a basic example

I'll also accept a guide if you have one :)

But you know it works?

can you still change the message?

Like the no permission message

Yeah I'd like my own one. I guess that's configurable?

Yeah makes sense. currently looking for a config with subcommands

[smoky oak]

huh

what does <number> do in config? Is it a macro, or just a placeholder?

[eternal night]

usually a placeholder

but like

depends entirely on the config and the plugin that parses it

<number> certainly isn't a yaml level spec or anything

[smoky oak]

k thx

[flint coyote]

not even the official wiki says anything about subcommands. I doubt it's possible

[misty ingot]

hey so I have a listener which listens to when a player right clicks a certain mob and then it runs a piece of code, but the code is running twice

how can I prevent this

I want it to only run once

I hate the offhand

[eternal night]

Yea, just check the hand ^

[misty ingot]

how do I check hands

[eternal night]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInteractEntityEvent.html#getHand()

[misty ingot]

if(hand.equals(EquipmentSlot.HAND)) {
used this

still runs twice

no errors

[smoky oak]

check for right hand

not hand

[misty ingot]

nvm HAND worked

there was a diff error

[chrome beacon]

Use the spawn method with a consumer

That will ensure that the entity properties are changed before the entity is spawned

Yeah that's a functional interface

[left swift]

What is the best way for naturally spawning a lot of custom mobs? I mean listening EntitySpawnEvent/CreatureSpawnEvent is enough or should I use any other way?

[agile anvil]

Do you want to spawn many entities or listen to spawn ?

[left swift]

spawn custom entities

naturally

[sterile token]

Hi

What the best way for tracking player items?

[chrome beacon]

PDC

Do what I told you earlier and you won't have that problem

[chrome beacon]

,

It is the issue here

I'm not here to argue

It is the problem

It is you're causing an infinite loop by spawning the entity that way

That error is the only thing stopping the infinite loop

Yeah

The entity is spawned and triggers the spawn event before the name is set

And then repeat that for infinity

Which is why you should do what I said

[round finch]

Oh no infinity loops curse of it

[chrome beacon]

If you just want to replace all vexes what you're doing is fine

[round finch]

Get the vex

Change it

Put spawn into a timer?

Maybe a location

[chrome beacon]

I'd still spawn a new one. That helps with other plugins trying to use the spawn event

[round finch]

You're trigger spawnevent with spawning

[chrome beacon]

Well yeah

[round finch]

Then he is spawning again

[chrome beacon]

I've already said how to fix that problem

[sterile token]

Example of what values?

[round finch]

Looping

[chrome beacon]

Depends on what you want to track

You can store a UUID for example

[round finch]

Just store entity list outside of event

Make it Accessible to different places

But world is already storing entities

[onyx fjord]

how much does it take for bstats to detect server using my plugin?

30 minutes

at least random spigot post says so

☕ time to drink some java then

[chrome beacon]

[round finch]

Is data container permeant on entities?

[chrome beacon]

pdc?

If so yes

[round finch]

I forgor ☠️

[round finch]

Yes ty

[onyx fjord]

it is tho if you set it up wrongly you will only realize on restart 💀

at least i did

[round finch]

I were thinking about tracking data

[paper falcon]

hey spigoteers,
I'm trying to make my custom mob break doors but it's obviously not working, I'm not sure what's with this difficulty stuff

could I get some insight on this?

[quaint mantle]

you return false if the you don't want the mob to break doors on that difficutly

pretty sure

[sterile token]

PDC != 1.13

[onyx fjord]

what

[sterile token]

Bigpro lem

[quaint mantle]

but if it's not working maybe it's the other way around

[onyx fjord]

reject legacy

[paper falcon]

my difficulty is on hard, no matter if this being true or false, the zombie is still not breaking (oak) doors I place around him

[quaint mantle]

are you in survival?

what about for a Hashmap uuid, ítemstack

[paper falcon]

yes

[quaint mantle]

hmmmm hmmm

maybe look how it's used in nms code

i can't look at the code rn

school blocks spigot dependency download 😭

[paper falcon]

ohh rip

okay thank you very much though I'll try

[round finch]

Save entity uuid

Store entity uuid in list

So it won't trigger twice

[chrome beacon]

Do you want to store that on the item?

[chrome beacon]

This isn't needed

[round finch]

I would do it differently

Thb

Probably use a runnable

[round finch]

Hmm?

[chrome beacon]

They're already doing a name check which should be sufficient

though I would use a PDC tag

[round finch]

Kinda thought about that
Then i asked.. 😂

my apologies for confusing
Very tired

[sterile token]

No on a file

I want to track each item that player have or give yo another player

[round finch]

Good job!!

[chrome beacon]

You're better off looping online players

Also why do you need the player?

Just to send a message?

[round finch]

(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers)?

[onyx fjord]

thats a for loop

idk your goal

[round finch]

It a loop for all your online players

But it depends your design and goal

[onyx fjord]

loop thru online players and check if theyre in the chunk ig?

more efficient it sounds

there can be a lot of entities in chunk 😄

[round finch]

Uh

[onyx fjord]

wait how can location be instanceof Player

oh

[round finch]

🤣

[onyx fjord]

use more proper variable names

like entity instead of loc LOL

i rather avoid short var names too

proguard should be the one minifying if ever doing so

but proguard shouldnt be used for such small projects

ye but what if chunk is very very loaded with entities

doesnt sound efficient to me

[wet breach]

use chunksnapshot

so that you don't lag the main thread

[misty ingot]

is there a way to detect whenever cobble is formed from a cobble gen? (and get the formed blocks' position)

[wet breach]

chunksnapshot is thread safe

and it still allows you to look up entities in the chunk

you can use it async, but recommend using a separate thread

[smoky oak]

check block event might be a interface of that

[quaint mantle]

how can I allow a void parameter to be any object type ?

public class database{

    private static FileConfiguration config;
    private static File database;

    public database(){
        File dataFolder = Main.getFolder();
        database = new File(dataFolder, "data.yml");
        config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(database);
        if (!database.exists()) {
            try{
                database.createNewFile();


            }
            catch (IOException e){
                System.out.println("cannot create a data file Exception:" + e.getMessage());
            }
        }

    }

    public void update(String path, String data){ // how to allow "data" to be any object type, not just string
        config.set(path, data);
        try{
            config.save(database);
        }catch (IOException e){
            System.out.println("could not update database" + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

[wet breach]

while that may be true, have enough entities in the chunk and it will lag the main thread while its searching that chunk 🙂

[tardy delta]

ah yes naming conventions are gone again

[round finch]

Data object

[wet breach]

not much you need to do other then just using it and either toss it into an async task or in a separate thread

[round finch]

Set a object

[tardy delta]

Object instead of String

[round finch]

Yes

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/ChunkSnapshot.html

[quaint mantle]

is this for me ?

[tardy delta]

static abuse lol

yes

and not using ?di

[wet breach]

the only difference between a chunksnapshot and a chunk, is that a snapshot isn't live which makes it safe for async

[quaint mantle]

thanks

[wet breach]

it will contain all the entities up until you called that method

[round finch]

What is bad code writing practices?

Unclear and messy?

[smoky oak]

do not do these:

1. writing uncommented code
2. using unclear variable names
3. trying to use fancy stuff (three element operator for more complex things for example)
4. using if else if a switch could be used
5. being incosnsitent with naming stuff, especially in the same project
6. using static variables if theyre not necessary
7. violating the one-function-rule (there should only be one function for a class, and only one reason for it to change)

[wet breach]

there is quite a lot really. Like calling toString() when it isn't necessary, casting instead of using appropriate methods if they are available. There is a long list

[round finch]

Yeah gimme a list

I would like to avoid issues

[dim bronze]

what's the one function rule?

[wet breach]

why?

[smoky oak]

i said it right there

[dim bronze]

oh I was reading function as a synonym for method

and got confused

[wet breach]

I do have plenty

[young knoll]

Loop all players in the world and determine the closest using distanceSquared?

[round finch]

Location closet?

[wet breach]

So, what you do is create a boundingbox around the location of the boss and keep a reference to that. The box can be as large as you want. Then just listen for playermoveevent, and check it against your boundingbox if they are inside it. If they are, initiate the boss fight, if not ignore it.

[round finch]

There is many ways

And many ideas

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/util/BoundingBox.html

[round finch]

close enough with key?

Click to start?

Or command

Different ways to interact

Sounds pretty cool

Inventory way

So freaking Tru

Bahaha

If snow ball hits freez effect

Custom attacks?
Throw snow block 🤨

Nice rewards

Yeah sounds like a idea making it more fun and interesting

[amber bronze]

still easy to kill

still easy to kill

[round finch]

New stuff to do besides default

[young knoll]

You still have that useless array of entities from the chunk

[wet breach]

why not make a player wrapper that keeps track if they have a key or not

then when you use playermovevent, its just a matter of using your player wrapper to check if they have a key or not

this eliminates having an item specifically as well as not having the need for a command

[smoky oak]

how do i get the height of the water in a cauldron
