[eternal night]

cannot wait for that to no longer be the case 🙏

[echo basalt]

stares in mirror

[eternal night]

or well

I think they still keep object as the root ?

and then have sub classes for Q and L types ?

[lost matrix]

  @EventHandler
  public void onDeath(EntityDeathEvent event) {
    if(event.getEntity() instanceof Player deceased) {
      // Reset kills of deceased
    }
    Player killer = event.getEntity().getKiller();
    if(killer == null) {
      return;
    }
    // Killer killed a mob
  }

[odd wedge]

Cries in java 1.8

jk

[echo basalt]

deceased holy shit you're specific

I'd just name it victim or something

[eternal night]

mukdukVictim

[echo basalt]

if there's one thing I'd like to see a bit more

just for fun

is people asking for help with very horrible variable names

ever decompiled a plugin and all variables were named in chinese?

[lost matrix]

Would be interesting to build a maven plugin which just puts your variable names through
google translate in 3 different languages and back.

[echo basalt]

ahhhh childhood memories

I'd like to update this plugin to <insert version here
budget: 5$

then you look, and it's nms with chinese naming

and comments that break google translate

[eternal night]

average premium spigot plugin

[lost matrix]

PS: If you want a trivial approach then you can store the kills in the pdc of the player.
I personally would use the pdc only for persistence but you should be fine.

[lost matrix]

XD

[echo basalt]

I only use PDC when I don't feel like caching stuff

[torn shuttle]

well idk what's wrong with my sonatype setup

[echo basalt]

was messing around with changing skins yesterday

[eternal night]

I mean, especially player PDC is pretty damn cheap

[echo basalt]

used PDC to store the original player skin

[eternal night]

some would say, not too far away from the hashmap solution

you skip the hashmap lookup for the uuid

[torn shuttle]

it's fun because it says it works on the publish task, except it doesn't

[lost matrix]

pdc doesnt have a great performance.
I rather use an actual data structure and only persist the
data when the session is terminated.

[echo basalt]

where's the fun in that

[eternal night]

has anyone actually ran benchmarks for a Map<UUID, Integer> vs a pre supplied PDC ?

[echo basalt]

one thing I gotta start doing less is abusing ConcurrentHashMap

[eternal night]

I wonder how much slower that is

You box in both cases

[odd wedge]

Imagine not saving the data on another computer and then getting that data whenever it’s needed

[eternal night]

your one map lookup is uuid vs the internal PDC data type lookup

[echo basalt]

average database moment

[lost matrix]

Do you have a "snapshot" in your name? Because then it wont be pushed to the releases repo iirc.

[odd wedge]

No no database

[echo basalt]

ah okay

[eternal night]

and then the additional method call for "convert" a plain Integer to an Integer

[echo basalt]

just a very long sata cable

[odd wedge]

Just as a raw file

[torn shuttle]

I am putting it on and off to test both

[echo basalt]

I mean

buckets?

[torn shuttle]

with snapshot on it it works just fine in uploading it to snapshots, without it it says it works but doesn't

and I am sending it to the right url as far as I can tell, I know there's two different ones

[wet breach]

it is a profile setting for this as well as a configuration setting for the deploy plugin

[echo basalt]

yo magma when you streaming again btw?

[torn shuttle]

lol

[echo basalt]

I might stream tomorrow

• 8 days ago

[lost matrix]

Depending on the implementation of the type this can be very slow. For integer probably not but for sure still more expensive than a map lookup.

[torn shuttle]

look there's only so many times I can stream for 14h in a day before sort of not wanting to do that

and I probably shouldn't be streaming my sonatype access tokens anyway

[echo basalt]

why not

🤨

[eternal night]

Well yea obviously, if you have a complex type that needs complete conversion it takes time

but in the integer case

the hashmap approach should not be chosen based on performance

the diff is too small to care

especially on a death event

doesn't mean that it isn't better, as good as PDC here 😅

[echo basalt]

mfs obsessing over those extra 3 clock cycles yet they doing yml operations in the main thread 🙄

[eternal night]

could be mining crypto in those 3 clock cycles

[wet breach]

yml operations on main thread isn't an issue so as long as the file remains in memory and isn't tossed away every time

[lost matrix]

Need those ShibaFroggyElonMoonCoins

[echo basalt]

big yml files take forever to load

had a yml databse with 250k entries

[torn shuttle]

eh

[wet breach]

only needs to be loaded once

[echo basalt]

shit took 5 minutes to load

[torn shuttle]

I give up, people can just use the snapshots for now

[wet breach]

so you should load them in the beginning anyways

[odd wedge]

But why though

[eternal night]

people like pain

[finite violet]

Hello guys I am going to start a smp what plugins do I really need I want a special smp

[echo basalt]

reverse uuid cache seemed like

I rewrote it to a proprietary file

[lost matrix]

Let them eat cake

[echo basalt]

loaded within 1ms

[eternal night]

sqlite is sobbing

[echo basalt]

do you really think I can make sql queries at 4am

[odd wedge]

Yes

[echo basalt]

I think I'm better writing regex than sql honestly

[torn shuttle]

api is probably not fully stable anyway so it's not like it being a snapshot is bad

[eternal night]

no

I mean I hope your shit isn't regex based xD

that seems pretty not fast

[lost matrix]

Any reason you dont just use JitPack?

[eternal night]

for 250k entries

[echo basalt]

I only use regex like once a year

[torn shuttle]

yeah, never heard of it

[echo basalt]

but it feels satisfying when the pattern works

[near crypt]

what is the easiest way to make the targeted block a green block but when the block changes it becomes the block it was before so only the block that is looked on turns green

[odd wedge]

Slow

[ivory sleet]

Ive never gotten jitpack to work

[wet breach]

jitpack has started to suck, especially with its dumb caching when it fails on builds

[ivory sleet]

Tho it does look good apart from that

[echo basalt]

huh?

[lost matrix]

Spares you all that devops nonsense. No Jenkins, Nexus etc headaches

[torn shuttle]

eh it's already set up

[odd wedge]

It’s pretty slow

[wet breach]

if you really want jitpack to work, provide releases on your repo on github

[torn shuttle]

it's fine I'm just moving on, I've been stuck on this stupid garbage for a week

this and automatically updating translation files

[wet breach]

this way jitpack won't spend time compiling and just offers up the release you provided

[torn shuttle]

it's been haunting my nightmares

[ivory sleet]

In comparison to like central?

[echo basalt]

sometimes I wonder if mfs just being like "how do I make <insert commission they got hired for>"

[odd wedge]

Yeah

[lost matrix]

Ah this sounds like a fix to sources which use nms. Good to know.

[odd wedge]

Pretty much everyone

[torn shuttle]

the spigot equivalent of asking stackoverflow to do your homework

[wet breach]

can be yeah but usually if jitpack needs to compile first and this can cause the connection to fail if the build takes too long

[odd wedge]

Yes

[near crypt]

you get the tageted block and it turns green thats easy but its just green as long a you look on it if it changes the block becomes normal again (the block it was before)

[ivory sleet]

Fair

[echo basalt]

raytrace, send fake block

on raytrace block change, revert to original block by resending the original data

[torn shuttle]

oh yeah bout fake block data

I need to do that this afternoon

[echo basalt]

pretty sure I gave you code for that

[torn shuttle]

you did

ironically a different project now needs that

[echo basalt]

what you working on

👀

[torn shuttle]

at least I think it's different, idk I keep switching them

[echo basalt]

if it's a commission I'll only ask for like 95% royalties

[torn shuttle]

did you send it for the td one?

[near crypt]

do you know what i try to achieve?

[echo basalt]

ye

[torn shuttle]

nah I don't do commissions

yeah same project then, using WE schematics to do fake block towers

[echo basalt]

you're probably like a friend of mine

stocking fruit by day

plugin by night

[torn shuttle]

me?

[echo basalt]

ye

[torn shuttle]

I do this full time

[echo basalt]

didn't know that our country had tech jobs

[near crypt]

and do you know how i can do this?

[echo basalt]

it'd be a massive spoon feed

so in theory yes

in practice, realistically, yes

[torn shuttle]

when do fake blocks clear client-side, I assume that if a player's client stops rendering them (client view distance or world switch) it goes away, or is it more persistent than that?

[echo basalt]

but here right now, no

[echo basalt]

yeah it goes away

[lost matrix]

Just ray trace and send the player a fake block

[echo basalt]

just resend for new chunks

[torn shuttle]

hm

[near crypt]

so its hard to achieve?

[echo basalt]

onChunkLoad -> get blocks at chunk (my system caches it per chunk) -> send that

[odd wedge]

Keep sending until you don’t need em

[torn shuttle]

yeah problem is these chunks don't unload

[echo basalt]

uhh

[odd wedge]

No

[echo basalt]

chunk packet send (to player)

[torn shuttle]

do I just keep throwing these packets at my dudes until they're gone or smth?

[near crypt]

do you know how i can do this?

[torn shuttle]

also wouldn't sending packets on chunk load cause issues if the server view distance is 10 but the player view distance is like 2?

[odd wedge]

Not gonna spoon feed

[lost matrix]

If you keep track of the block then you can check each tick and see if the block changed since last tick

[odd wedge]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

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

[torn shuttle]

problem isn't the block changing on my end, I just want to make sure players with 2 view distance don't suddenly wonder where everything went every time they move around

[near crypt]

yes exactly but how?

XD sorry

[odd wedge]

They told you how

[echo basalt]

you can cache the packets

only for new chunks within the view distance

[odd wedge]

Look at the docs for more information

[echo basalt]

pretty sure you get view distance info

[lost matrix]

Use a map for example

[near crypt]

if i dont know what im looking for its hard

[near crypt]

ok

[odd wedge]

They told you

[near crypt]

who?

[echo basalt]

mans confused

[odd wedge]

Ray trace the blocks and then send a packet to the client

[torn shuttle]

but there are no new chunks... ah whatever I'll just start with spamming packets and go from there

[odd wedge]

That’s how they learn to navigate the docs etc

Developing isn’t about writing code but solving problems

how do I create the constructor for that shit tho

why do I hate this so much

nah codes great

ik this shit works

my sheep is goated

I'll just rewrite that lightly

using my utils so you can't copypaste it

i made my shepe pink

so add that

no. -1 health = dead

ok

ill j spam 9's

that works to

or

I can cancel the event

when they hit my sheep

that works

ill do that cause thne it wont take knockback

got it

[echo basalt]

    String arg2 = args[1];

    // idk what to do with the args
    World world = SPAWN_LOC.getWorld();
    Sheep sheep = world.spawn(SPAWN_LOC, Sheep.class);

    sheep.setCustomName("I am a sheep!");
    sheep.setCustomNameVisible(true);
  }
}

idk

no need to nest

[ebon ether]

so basically your saying its right, but like make it more organized?

[echo basalt]

yeh

[ebon ether]

ok

[lost matrix]

This static looks problematic

[echo basalt]

could be yeah

if I init the command before the world loads

just pass it to the constructor

this is just an example, I'm not gonna init a new location every time

could make a singleton type deal

that runs whenever the command runs

bit better

[ebon ether]

whys it better to do that than just put it inside if statement?

Genuin question

[echo basalt]

intentation

flat code

your eyes go up&down when reading code

I also like adding a ton of empty lines

makes it a bit more readable imo

I even do it when writing essays n stuff

[odd wedge]

Please use longer names for variables, one letter names are so misleading

[kindred valley]

Anyone?

[lost matrix]

I made an alternative to changing the block.
It uses invisible shulker packets with a glow effect.

[near crypt]

oh thats a very cool idea thx so you just spawn a shulker at the block that is invisible and it has a glow effect right?

[lost matrix]

Well i dont actually spawn it. I just let the player think that the server spawned it.

[tardy delta]

its just packets

the stuff isnt there, you just tell the client that its there

Hi, I'm trying to make a plugin that would spawn a villager, add it to a colored team, and then show the number of villagers in that team. So far I have a ready scoreboard (https://pastebin.com/NCSSkLzC) and now I'm thinking about how to spawn the villagers. I know that it can be done using spawnEntity, but I don't know how to put the entity in the team. Does anyone have any ideas?

wondering if node.token will be takes first and then node = node.next will be executed 👀

I got more likes from reviewing a time tracker, than my packet tutorials

it would set "node" to the next value, then get the token from that

it's the same as node = node.next; node.token

I had soooo much money in club pengiun

[echo basalt]

played a sandbox game that was basically a 2d canvas where you placed blocks n shit

[tardy delta]

i dont know any of that stuff

[echo basalt]

made a bot that generated mazes

that would close in on you

[tender shard]

club penguin was awesome

but it's hard to explain what it was

pass the maze and you get some coins you could use at a shop

sabotage friends n all

my igloo looked something like this lol

[echo basalt]

fancy ahh mf

I never played club penguin

[tardy delta]

damn

[echo basalt]

we should make club penguin in minecraft

what if I made a flash renderer with my imageboard system

I can render like 20fps smooth

that's about as much as flash did

[tender shard]

damn there's a club penguin remake

gotta try this out now

[boreal seal]

hey why spigot removed my resources?

from what a reason

i dont even get notified about it

where can i see a reason for removing my resources on spigot?

[worldly ingot]

I still really want to conjure up some sort of primitive client-sided entity API

[echo basalt]

I was workin on something like that

like years ago

[worldly ingot]

You usually get an alert. If you didn't, possible that you either missed it, or one wasn't sent by mistake

I'll check

[echo basalt]

.

nvm linked wrong chat

[zealous osprey]

is that club penguin?... was

[tardy delta]

i love friendly bytebufs

[boreal seal]

its still exists

but

[echo basalt]

ok nvm my clientside entity api is purely protocollib-based lmao

[worldly ingot]

You should have been notified. Excessive obfuscation. On two small free plugins? Come on man lol

[boreal seal]

oh man do you want to see my git resp?

[worldly ingot]

You mean to tell me it's open source but you still obfuscated it? lol

[hasty prawn]

[boreal seal]

if u read the description a person asked for it

so it was part of the deal

[echo basalt]

choco if you really want to

[boreal seal]

i dont see any problem this is deobsf

[echo basalt]

and this is something I might regret later

we could maybe work together on a clientside entity api

[boreal seal]

and you clearly can see its not an harmful code

[echo basalt]

clientside entities are something I've done countless times

[worldly ingot]

I downloaded the latest version

[echo basalt]

yet still keep writing from scratch

[worldly ingot]

It crashed my decompiler

It's obfuscated

[eternal night]

pls don't pull a half packet API into the api

[echo basalt]

hardcode protocollib into spigot

[eternal night]

clientside entities are so much better done by a library out there

[lost matrix]

sendBlockChange() goes brrr

[eternal night]

that one already goes brrr

[echo basalt]

sendChunkChange is in PR stages so

[visual tide]

sendBlockChange, hidePlayer, hideEntity

[echo basalt]

still gotta work on an official API for making fake blocks persist

[worldly ingot]

That's the point of Bukkit. To abstract away packets. If you can send a client-sided entity via API, you should be able to do that

We want you to use API every step of the way wherever possible

[echo basalt]

choco

quick question

can we please

optimize image rendering

in itemframes

[worldly ingot]

On... the client...?

[echo basalt]

pasting it with bukkit and rendering is so slow

[eternal night]

A client side entity would need a basically entirely new entity API, none of the existing classes are remotely close to support "virtual entities"

[echo basalt]

takes like 40ms to set all the pixels and render

per frame

[lost matrix]

Why obfuscate your free plugins? There is probably nothing in there
that people didnt do already a hundred times.

[worldly ingot]

Why not? Entity covers pretty much everything

[echo basalt]

pretty sure the current map api just sets each pixel manually

[boreal seal]

you know it was a plugin that was required by a person

[echo basalt]

and I literally mean calls setPixel(x, y, color) manually for each pixel

[boreal seal]

and this is what he asked for

[echo basalt]

and recalculates cursors for each pixel

[eternal night]

entity expects to be in the world. Which would not be the case

[echo basalt]

it's god awful

[boreal seal]

so i did upload it the way he wanted

and the description says the same

[hasty prawn]

Sounds like you have a PR to do Illusion

[eternal night]

half of its methods depend on the fact that it is linked to a world. What does getLocation do ? How is its state tracked

[worldly ingot]

Whether or not you uploaded it to their specification isn't relevant 😅 Their specification is against our rules on obfuscation

[eternal night]

its grounded nowhere outside of the client

[boreal seal]

sec ill take alook into the rules

[worldly ingot]

That's not necessarily true

[echo basalt]

do I really want to convert all of this to spigot

[worldly ingot]

In NMS, Entity instances can exist without being in the world

[hasty prawn]

yes

[boreal seal]

what

its not against the rules

Choco bring it bakc now

[worldly ingot]

They have to be explicitly added via world#addEntity() (or whatever it's called)

[eternal night]

in NMS yes.

[worldly ingot]

My guy

[echo basalt]

crashing decompilers is against the rules I think

[lost matrix]

But does Bukkit have a differentiation for that?

[boreal seal]

[boreal seal]

[worldly ingot]

You read it

[eternal night]

Like, wtf is Entity#setVelocity gonna do on a client side entity ?

[echo basalt]

bukkit entities exist in the world iirc

[worldly ingot]

I'm a moderator of like 3 years. And was a resource staff member for a year. I'm familiar with the rules

[eternal night]

will the server tick a virtual entity ?

will it just not work

[worldly ingot]

Probably nothing

That's why I said "very primitive"

[boreal seal]

its in that list

[eternal night]

Yea but "very primitive" feels like "just leave to the community"

[boreal seal]

and there no string obfuscation

[echo basalt]

just enough to spawn entities and maybe make em look places

[eternal night]

same with like permission implementation

[echo basalt]

client sided entities aren't meant to persist or be ticked by the server

just ease of use for the api

[eternal night]

Yea but that is not defined in the API contract of existing entities

[worldly ingot]

Allatori is allowed, but crashing decompilers is not

[boreal seal]

mine doesnt crash

[eternal night]

if you get a Zombie instance from spawning a client side entity

[boreal seal]

My decompiler works just fine

[echo basalt]

who says we need to use the existing api

we can make a FakeEntity interface with half the methods

[eternal night]

[boreal seal]

if your decompiler is setup not correctly

[worldly ingot]

It actually says "You may not use string encryption on free resources"

[eternal night]

mirroring API sounds great

[echo basalt]

yessir

[worldly ingot]

I see string encryption

[lost matrix]

Just dont obfuscate your code. Its useless and there is nothing worth obfuscating.

[odd wedge]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[echo basalt]

evan your code probably isn't even that good to be worth safekeeping

[boreal seal]

there no free

string resources

[eternal night]

realistically, spigot at one point just has to make a clear diff between a spawned and not spawned entity

[boreal seal]

arent included in demo version

[eternal night]

after that "split" exists

[boreal seal]

he just tries to proof he is correct

when the mod is wrong

and they took down my Art for no reason

[eternal night]

you could easily create a not spawned entity as a client side entity

[echo basalt]

Art

[worldly ingot]

Dude I'm so ready to kick you'

Remove or loosen your obfuscation

It's not coming back otherwise

[echo basalt]

obfuscation most often only makes code slower

denuvo games that got cracked got much better performance after the crack

[eternal night]

[odd wedge]

Is there any benefit to using a stream instead looping through a list to get a sum of all values.

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

[boreal seal]

ill go to the other markets

[echo basalt]

your plugin isn't the newest call of duty title, obfuscating a free plugin only brings crappy performance and nothing else

[worldly ingot]

Have fun on BBB

[tardy delta]

streams slower

[echo basalt]

Have fun on MCBBS

[boreal seal]

what is mcbbs?

[worldly ingot]

For something trivial like that, you're better off just using a for loop

Hey, I saw this very interesting plugin and I'd like to ask if I can re-upload it to MC-BBS (https://www.mc-bbs.net/), I'll give all credit to you, as the original author.

Thank you!

[odd wedge]

I'm just wondering in general. Besides sorting filtering etc is there any benefit as well?

[boreal seal]

oh

ik it

[eternal night]

readability

[boreal seal]

its that chinese website

lmao

[wet breach]

The Mod is always correct. Rules say so.

[odd wedge]

I mean depends

[lost matrix]

No real benefit. Use whatever is cleaner to read.
Streams have a little bit more overhead.

[eternal night]

not on that level no

[echo basalt]

mister choco is considered a meme on this community but mans still got common sense

[boreal seal]

his obstufactor

his outdated

why do he even go against it its demo version

[eternal night]

[boreal seal]

it doesnt have string obsf

DEMO

[worldly ingot]

Streams are very, very useful. Though you should be using them situationally. For something extremely basic like this, you're going to benefit more from not having the overhead of a Stream instance

[boreal seal]

doesnt have string methods

[odd wedge]

Imagine obsf anyways

[wet breach]

Arguing with the staff regardless isn't going to do much and is against the rules to do. Its either you play ball or not at all.

[eternal night]

kinda cringe to obf smh

[odd wedge]

Minecraft plugins are

No real reason to do it

[echo basalt]

I think I've only used streams on a context where it's actually better to do so, once.

[boreal seal]

haters reported my shit

[eternal night]

hmmm but if minecraft plugins are cringe

and you obf them

[odd wedge]

lol

I meant to obf them

[eternal night]

ah xD

yea true that

[odd wedge]

If someone wants to get access to your src they will

Just a waste of time

[echo basalt]

mans obfuscating his own code to hide how awfully it's written

[odd wedge]

Now that's a smart move

[echo basalt]

I've rebuilt obfuscated world generators, even updated the nms

[odd wedge]

I would do the same ngl

[echo basalt]

took me like 4 hours for a huge project

[wet breach]

Anyone is free to report resources free or otherwise. We do have some people that review basically all the resources that get submitted for nefarious things. But you can choose its because people hate it or something lol

[odd wedge]

Yeah, I get if you obf shit like minecrafts src

But plugins

[eternal night]

I mean, even minecraft source these days

pls shared source 😭

wen

[echo basalt]

should I make clash of clans with imageboards

[boreal seal]

it was up for few months

[odd wedge]

It's not that hard to reverse engineer it

[echo basalt]

I'm actually considering it

[boreal seal]

so thats kinda bullshit

[odd wedge]

Just takes time

[eternal night]

it isn't but like, I want proper variable namings in methods

and I don't wanna use loom parameter names

[echo basalt]

paperweight gives mostly nice names

[odd wedge]

You don't like p_w143 etc?

[eternal night]

perfection

[wet breach]

its also not the only resource on the site either, takes time for people to eventually review your stuff 😛

[odd wedge]

Without mappings thats what the src is :/

[boreal seal]

no one really checks them

[eternal night]

[boreal seal]

i can find you few year old plugins that are obsfacted

[odd wedge]

It's not hard to understand the variables

[boreal seal]

way more and staff just keep eye away

so its funny.

[odd wedge]

But it's a headache

[echo basalt]

mister choco is such a hater

🙄

[boreal seal]

nah its not choco

[wet breach]

I know 2 people who definitely do spend their time checking resources

[boreal seal]

i bet frostalf

[echo basalt]

I do that shit sometimes

[boreal seal]

where they get their salary

from my donation?

[echo basalt]

It's funny seeing a minigame plugin with 5k lines on the main class

[boreal seal]

kinda messed up donated spigot any money at all

[wet breach]

all staff are volunteers

[crisp steeple]

why use an obfuscator to make decompiled code unreadable when you can just use kotlin

[eternal night]

salary is the tears of people that obfuscate

[echo basalt]

I give a 4/5 for code quality and they start flaming me on my profile

[odd wedge]

Do people still have licenses for premium plugin

[odd wedge]

Why use a obfuscator when you can just make ur code shit

[wet breach]

Java was never designed to protect code

[odd wedge]

Hence why it's easy to reverse engineer it

[echo basalt]

why crash decompilers when you can crash people's minds

[boreal seal]

kotlin is reveresable

lol

[wet breach]

originally Java was marketed to the Enterprises where stealing comes with steeper penalties then it does for an individual and easier to check/verify of such things 😉

[worldly ingot]

Dude you're dying on a hill that doesn't make any sense. You've obfuscated a free plugin that would have ended up being 7kb. Relax.

[boreal seal]

why people would decomplie my plugin in first place

[icy beacon]

is there a cafebabe command to list all embeds here?

[odd wedge]

Mostly just premium plugins

[echo basalt]

pull a Rollercoaster Tycoon move and write 99% of the code in assembly

[wet breach]

To ensure maybe it doesn't do anything malicious since free plugins sometimes are malicious

[boreal seal]

[crisp steeple]

good thing too because i would’ve gone insane looking up documentation for everything instead of just ctrl+click

[odd wedge]

And then i can let my neck beard come in. Ill just tell my gf that im a discord mod now and

[worn tundra]

Look at the ikea köttbuller talking

[wet breach]

Ah ok that makes sense, wasn't thinking of that lol

[echo basalt]

I should apply for discord mod

I'm already a neckbeard

[hasty prawn]

You also have to gain 150lb

Minimum

[odd wedge]

and have discord kittens

It's a proven fact that you need to have them

[hasty prawn]

Absolutely

[wet breach]

ironically, there is something with people being mods on things internet wise and all the guys just having beards XD

[lost matrix]

Ah yes. And my little pony or some cringe anime pfp

[odd wedge]

Don't forget about your bio

[wet breach]

it is a weird coincidence

[odd wedge]

I've had a beard since I was 15

[echo basalt]

my beard refuses to grow outside my neck

I got ukraine president beard

[odd wedge]

That's the discord mod beard

[wet breach]

some people are lucky to start early

[odd wedge]

Yeah

I've always been able to buy tobacco and alcohol products

[iron glade]

Same hahah

[wet breach]

now you are not counting as having a beard when its like strands of hair right?

[odd wedge]

No, a full grown one.

[echo basalt]

cashiers look at me weird when I pull the paypal card out of my wallet

[wet breach]

ok, I had a friend who had a full grown one at that age

[odd wedge]

I would do the same lol

[odd wedge]

I can't grow any hair on my chest though

[iron glade]

hit the gym > beard growth goes boom

[wet breach]

when I was a cashier, I don't care how people pay as long as the system accepts it

[odd wedge]

Incorrect

[echo basalt]

only gains I got from the gym, were stretch marks

[wet breach]

you really don't want hair there though

[odd wedge]

I know

[iron glade]

as a man? wtf

[odd wedge]

My dad looks like he is 50 and 30 at the same time because of it

[odd wedge]

No girl likes it btw

Some hair sure

But not too much

[wet breach]

While some people can look good with hair there, that isn't why I said you don't want hair there

[iron glade]

shouldn't just be some forrest imo

removing it entirely always irritates my skin like hell

[wet breach]

the reason to not have hair on your chest is because for one it will make you sweat more and second because it makes you sweat more it means you will stink more easily

[odd wedge]

I had to id everyone even if they looked like 50

[odd wedge]

That's signs of growth though

[odd wedge]

Doesn't make you sweat more, however it sticks more.

[iron glade]

fast growth*

[wet breach]

while that is true, it means too rapid of growth

which is not good

[iron glade]

^

[odd wedge]

Could be good

[iron glade]

been to the gym a couple years and I barely have any besides gaining like 20kg

[odd wedge]

My whole back is full of stretch marks since I grew from 5'7 to 6'3 in a summer

They aren't that visible anymore though

[wet breach]

the more hair you have (technically the longer the hair you have really since you have invisible hair everywhere), it becomes easier to sweat because that hair traps in heat.

[odd wedge]

You can only see em if you try

[wet breach]

hair also absorbs liquids therefore it will make you stink more easily.

[iron glade]

shower once a day

[wet breach]

only if you been sweating, otherwise every other day. Showering too much when it isn't needed is actually harmful

[odd wedge]

No

Using soap is

[wet breach]

not sure I know anyone who showers without soap

[odd wedge]

Shower gel etc

[iron glade]

mostly when having sweat like hell I just do a short cold shower without soap and stuff

[echo basalt]

Don't talk to me about no sweat

[odd wedge]

A ice cold shower is the best thing in the morning

[iron glade]

I kinda stopped using that stuff full of chemicals n shit

[tardy delta]

hot shower yes

[odd wedge]

No

[tardy delta]

😭

[echo basalt]

I've tried clinical deodorants n shit

[tardy delta]

i like hot showers even in damn summer

[echo basalt]

nothing worky on me

[iron glade]

doing it too much can dry ur skin like hell

[tardy delta]

😈

[wet breach]

technically supposed to do cold or moderately warm water when showering after sweating. This prevents the oil and dirt from getting in the pores since cold water makes your pores close. If you do use hot water, you should rinse off before getting out with cold water.(doesn't need to be super cold)

[echo basalt]

taking a shower after sweating is a bit ehhhhhhhhhhhh

I'd be aquaman

[iron glade]

yea makes sense

[wet breach]

Since most people don't do that, this is why some people break out more with acne from taking a shower

[molten hearth]

Better than being sweatman

[tardy delta]

dirtman

[echo basalt]

I got a disorder, makes me sweat 24/7

[tardy delta]

sweatman hehehe

[wet breach]

you should then apply to be a test person for deodorant

[echo basalt]

paid 10$ for some tiny ass roll-on deodorant that makes my hands hella chalky for 5 minutes

[echo basalt]

we don't even have tech jobs here, much less R&D

[iron glade]

there's one where you can't sweat iirc which can be quite dangerous as the body can't regulate its temperature properly

[wet breach]

they pay good money for people to try on deodorant and let someone smell them

[tardy delta]

hmm smelling sweaty people

[iron glade]

dream job

[tardy delta]

best job ever

[wet breach]

My special needs brother has this. And you are absolutely correct

[odd wedge]

I got paid to do medical drugs

[echo basalt]

the 2 extremes

in my case, childhood was traumatic as people hated socially interacting with mister sweatyhands

[iron glade]

oh damn :(

[echo basalt]

on the other extreme, mf is so hot he can't even cool down

[odd wedge]

I once got paid to try mdma at a medical research

[wet breach]

its actually not too bad though. He can be outside and what not, but if we are sweating then that means he is hot and needs to be somewhere where it is cooler

but like, he isn't going to over heat immediately though

[odd wedge]

Worst hungover ever

[iron glade]

ahh okay, does he start to feel sick when it gets too hot, or what kind of symptoms whould he get?

[wet breach]

just a note on the regulating body temperature thing, while although most people notice or are more aware about the part of over heating. The other side effect that comes with it, is they can't properly heat themselves either.

so, just because he can't stay cool on his own, doesn't mean he can also stay warm lol

[wet breach]

his skins starts the get real flush and he starts to get cranky more or fusses more

[iron glade]

So winter isn't like better than summer for them

[echo basalt]

I can't tell if the worst part of constantly sweating is winters

ever had to sanitize your hands in the cold ass winter?

yeah it's like that but always

[wet breach]

nope, because they typically can't keep themselves warm either if they can't keep themselves cool, its not like a one or the other thing with that condition like most people think.

so its common, while he is indoors, that he has a blanket on too lol

otherwise his arms and legs get too cold XD

[iron glade]

lol :c

[wet breach]

it is actually an odd thing to think about, that you can actually get hypothermia in the summer time

[iron glade]

Doesn't modern medicine offer something to help with that?

[wet breach]

nope, because that condition stems from the cerebrum

which isn't really an area that doctors can control or really do anything with lol

[iron glade]

damn

[wet breach]

he also has cerebral palsy

[echo basalt]

neuralink

[wet breach]

well he has a list of other things too but like its too much to type here lol

he gets 6 different kinds of seizures, has optic dysplasia etc

[echo basalt]

geez

[iron glade]

Considering myself lucky only having a house dust allergy at that point

[echo basalt]

considering myself lucky for having no allergies

[wet breach]

everyone is allergic to dust

it is just a matter of being more sensitive to it or not

[iron glade]

Sadly I'm sensitive af to it

[wet breach]

For example, I am more sensitive to mosquito bites. I could say I am allergic but everyone is lol. If I scratch the bites, that small bump becomes the size of a baseball XD

[iron glade]

at some point it was so bad that I woke up with sratched up arms and stuff

[iron glade]

heck

[wet breach]

ah, so you break out in hives then

[cobalt thorn]

Hi im trying to make a zombie with Redstone particle with color and im using a method for convert image to particle vector https://sourceb.in/EYvvDxdKBf but the image doesn't show on the Zombie

[wet breach]

#help-development

[echo basalt]

we're here

lol

this is not general

[cobalt thorn]

bro where i am now

[wet breach]

sorry

thought it was general

[cobalt thorn]

no problem

[iron glade]

that was some years ago, currently only thing noticeable is a stuffy nose, which is a HUGE improvement, I can live with that

[wet breach]

take Benadryl then when you come into contact with some dust

just because your don't break out in hives, doesn't mean your body still doesn't release the chemicals that causes hives

just means your skin became used to it

Benadryl generally helps with such things though

[iron glade]

yes I bet, should test for it again soon, my last test at how sensitive I am to it was like ~ 2 years ago

the scala went from 0 - 100 iirc and it just said "> 100" lmao

[wet breach]

lol

[iron glade]

the previous test was at around 80

[hasty prawn]

What does particles.getParticles() do

[iron glade]

gonna have a look at that

[wet breach]

well at least it gave a number instead of like, well its too high for our scale to measure

[iron glade]

ikr

[wet breach]

Yeah and you shouldn't need to take a whole lot of it either if you do try it

[iron glade]

it got noticeably better when I got one of those Dyson air cleaners too tbh

[wet breach]

if you are going to use the liquid, shouldn't need anymore then 5-10ml's

if going for the tablets, then 1-2 tablets. Regardless of which, both take approximately 30 minutes to work

[iron glade]

alright

[wet breach]

Well for most people that have issues with dust, generally changing the air filter to a stronger filter is usually all that is needed as well as changing it more frequently

[cobalt thorn]

No im stupid and i didn’t put a line to convert the image to particle size

[hasty prawn]

Ah lol

[wet breach]

Most people that I know of, forget they even have air filters for their HVAC

[echo basalt]

should I post an imageboard api on spigot 🤔

[iron glade]

yeah, the app always tells me when I should get a new one, cool thing ngl, eventhough it's kinda expensive

[odd wedge]

No!

[wet breach]

wouldn't help me, I am one of those people that would still check it routinely even if I didn't need to XD

but it could also just be because I have been taking care of my special needs brother for so long lmao

[echo basalt]

oh ok im keeping it then

[odd wedge]

Send it to me though

[iron glade]

hm yea could be haha

[wet breach]

oh btw, most cars have a cabin filter too. You can get a filter that is just as strong as the one in house for your vehicle if it has a cabin filter 🙂

[echo basalt]

[near crypt]

how can i stop a shulker from teleporting when he gets damage

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityTeleportEvent.html

[iron glade]

oh lol gotta check that

[near crypt]

thx 🙂

[odd wedge]

There should be a command that tells people to always:

1. Check the Javadocs
2. Google your problem
3. Ask about your problem here

[echo basalt]

this

[pulsar parcel]

can I use team.addEntry to add mob to team?

[odd wedge]

Yeah

I don’t mind people asking but if your problem can be solved by looking at the docs or googling then it’s eh

[agile anvil]

Entry is a String, so you can literally put whatever you want in it

[iron glade]

Is there a way to "lower" my plugin's command priority? There's another plugin having the same command and in that case I want the users to be able to use that other plugin's command before mine. For mine they'd need to do /<plugin name>:<command>

[pulsar parcel]

ok I will try it. And one more question. How can I display how many members are in team. Can I do it using:
public void getTeamMembers(Player player) {
blue.getEntries().size();
player.sendMessage(blue.getEntries().getSize);
}
and somehow make it string?

[agile anvil]

I think you can't register two same commands name. I'd recommend using the chat event or command event to do so

[tawdry python]

How can I disable slf4j-log4j12 logs?

[agile anvil]

Team#getEntries return the list of all entries. Then you just need to put the List#size int in a variable

To convert to string: String.valueOf

[agile anvil]

Why would you disable it?

[tawdry python]

It makes a lot of spam

[near crypt]

how can I hide a entity completely without the particles?

[agile anvil]

Can you paste the spam it create ?

[agile anvil]

Player#hideEntity

[near crypt]

wdym? is it an event? @agile anvil

[tawdry python]

Can I dm send a print?

[agile anvil]

?paste here

[undone axle]

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

[agile anvil]

No ??@ it's a method in the Player class

[tawdry python]

How can I copy the console? there's no way

Console localhost

[agile anvil]

Ctrl Maj C

Or just dm me a screenshot

[tawdry python]

My bad

[near crypt]

oh sorry ok and can i do this to any entity?

[agile anvil]

Well if you don't want Player a to see Entity e, just a.hideEntity(pluginInstance, e)

so for all players, just loop over players

[near crypt]

ok

[tawdry python]

I did, did you see?

[agile anvil]

Are you running spigot ?

[tawdry python]

yes

[sage patio]

select anything you want and right click

[tardy delta]

what console lol

[near crypt]

Why is the Shulker not glowing in game?

[wet breach]

you could put your command registration into a task that runs at a later time when your plugin loads. Nothing says commands have to be registered immediately.

[agile anvil]

You should have activated a debug mode somewhere, or a plugin is doing it

[zealous osprey]

dont you have to set it before spawning it? Or maybe there is an "update" funktion, idk

[worn tundra]

You sure it isn't? 👀

[near crypt]

it is not

[tawdry python]

this plugin slf4j-log4j12

[worn tundra]

Sure the latest compiled version of your plugin is running?

[near crypt]

yes

[worn tundra]

And the shulker spawns, right?

[wet breach]

are you using /reload ?

[tawdry python]

JDA needs this plugin to work

slf4j-log4j12

[near crypt]

after that this is comming

it teleports the shulker where the player is looking

so to the target block

its a runtasktimer

[worn tundra]

?

Does everything else work?

Does changing its display name work?

[near crypt]

it looks like this

[agile anvil]

are you programming a plugin using JDA ?

[near crypt]

in game

so its spawning but everything else wont work i think

[worn tundra]

Does it work with another entity type?

[agile anvil]

try to throw a glowing potion on it and tell us if it glows up

[near crypt]

ok

[tawdry python]

Yes

[agile anvil]

?paste your code where you use JDA

[tawdry python]

I use a lot

but ok

[rare flicker]

is there a way to retrieve minecraft's default potion names?

getVanillaPotionName(PotionType.NIGHT_VISION) => returns "Potion of Night Vision"

[worn tundra]

Unfortunately there isn't

[near crypt]

I dont find where a glowing potion is in creative

XDD

[worn tundra]

Just like for materials

[agile anvil]

Get the name of the enum, add first "Potion of ", and then remove the "_" and put lower case

[tawdry python]

My code to connect bot

I paste

[rare flicker]

not perfect for instant health tho

[agile anvil]

Otherwise, create a handmade map

[rare flicker]

that's what i'll do if i can't find an alternative ye

then, is there a way to override a potions DEFAULT effect?

for eg if i create a potion with the potionData of a night vision potions, it will always have the default 3:00 effect

[near crypt]

@agile anvil a custom name is working

wtf lol

[rare flicker]

(for thoses wondering, i'm trying to balance out potions so i need to be able to recreate them almost exactly)

[iron glade]

would loading my plugin before that other plugin make the other plugin's command "override" priority?

so that mine becomes lower priority -> I'd have to use /<plugin name>:<command> ?

[wet breach]

if your plugin loaded after. but really its about whichever registers the command first

[rare flicker]

what i'll do is make the lowercase thing and have a switch case for the exceptions beforehand

like awkward potion, instant health etc

[agile anvil]

good luck

[rare flicker]

not too bad actually

[iron glade]

I'll try with delaying the command registration a bit if plugin XY is instealled too

ye sorry

Thanks sir

Nines

[iron glade]

there should be a command like that linking to some thread explaining on how to read stacktraces

Do you have domain ezperienc?

Let me look for you a link to learn how to read errors

[twilit roost]

well it just says mine arraylist is null
even tho I haven't touched it yet and just created constructor

[twilit roost]

ik how to read errors
just it points to places, where I didn't even use that List yet

[iron glade]

where do you initialize that list?

[sterile token]

JoinGame line 37

[twilit roost]

in my Main class NightWatch

[sterile token]

Also if you are using paper they have their own discord for support

💪

[iron glade]

can you show the snippet of that?

[twilit roost]

yee I was there few times
its just not active at all

[sterile token]

Also please static getters 🤢

[iron glade]

what does prepareNewGame() do?

[sterile token]

I would straightlly recommend learning and using DI. Dependency injection

[iron glade]

^

[twilit roost]

run thru few voids
it all worked perfectly fine until yesterday, when all of sudden everything stopped working

[tardy delta]

?di

[undone axle]

Guide to dependency injection: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-dependency-injection/

[iron glade]

well you'd have to change something for it to not work anymore

[hazy parrot]

Why is it bad to use getInstance?

[iron glade]

don't think code decides on its own "aight, i don't get paid enough"

[hazy parrot]

Class that extends JavaPlugin is singleton anyway

[rare flicker]

ended up rather simple :

public static String getVanillaPotionName(PotionType potionType) {
            switch (potionType) {
            case WATER: return "Water Bottle";
            case MUNDANE: return "Mundane Potion";
            case THICK: return "Thick Potion";
            case AWKWARD: return "Awkward Potion";
            case INSTANT_HEAL: return "Potion of Instant Health";
            case JUMP: return "Potion of Leaping";
            case REGEN: return "Potion of Regeneration";
            case TURTLE_MASTER: return "Potion of the Turtle Master";
            default:
                break;
            }
            String name = "Potion of ";
            for(String word : potionType.toString().toLowerCase().split("_")) name += word.replaceFirst(word.toCharArray()[0] + "", (word.toCharArray()[0] + "").toUpperCase());
            return name;
        }

[twilit roost]

well yesterday it was screaming for me, for not having initialized my main class
so I tried fixing it

[sterile token]

You cannot compare spigot plugins with looking more like a profesional developer

[hazy parrot]

What

There is nothing bad with using singleton pattern imo, I would like to hear your reasoning

[near crypt]

how can i set the color of a glow?

[quiet ice]

Most likely the reload command - idk to be honest

[sterile token]

I mean I havent seen profesional java devs using Singleton. Singleton its mostly used and recommend for libraries

[hazy parrot]

Doubt that

[sterile token]

Its something that people tells you but we dont really know why

[quiet ice]

But it isn't often that it makes sense to use singleton

[hazy parrot]

Also there is JavaPlugin method for getting instance of main class

[sterile token]

More respecto please im being polite with you

[hazy parrot]

Sorry if that sounded rude lol

[quiet ice]

Though that one is classloader-bound

[agile anvil]

Singleton patterns are something learnt to devs and have nothing to worry while you'd need only one instance

[quiet ice]

Which I mean either way it will be

[agile anvil]

there is really no problem with it

[quiet ice]

Especially for libraries I'd argue that singletons make no sense

[agile anvil]

People usually tell people to use di because they abuse of static methods, but it's something very different

[sterile token]

I mean I dont like static getters I think they cost more resources than just passing an instance thru a constructor

[quiet ice]

It is actually less I believe

[sterile token]

And rolyn you are total ly right

Rolyn I was going to dm you but i think you blocked me

😂

[rare flicker]

either teams or packets

not sure if theres another way than theses two

[quiet ice]

believe it or not invokestatic + getstatic is less resource intensive than getfield I believe

[agile anvil]

no way 😂😂

[odd wedge]

Nothing is bad done correctly 🙂

[quiet ice]

(especially since the invokestatic is not present after JIT)

[sterile token]

Why did u get blocked?

I just want to know

[near crypt]

ok
