[rough drift]

tried it 16 times

hell I even went to bukkit.org

[eternal oxide]

What type of block?

[rough drift]

any

I just need a light source so ppl can see in a closed room

[shadow zinc]

looks like a packet job

[rough drift]

I'd prefer if there wasn't a need for packets, though if it is strictly necessary fine

[eternal oxide]

Use the Material.LIGHT block to create light

[rough drift]

I kind of need people to be able to place blocks though

I guess just send it client side?

[vital sandal]

how to prevent player from editing armorstand ?

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/ArmorStand.html#addEquipmentLock(org.bukkit.inventory.EquipmentSlot,org.bukkit.entity.ArmorStand.LockType)

[kindred valley]

I would cancel clickjng event at specified block

But idk if its applying before i click

[severe marsh]

How can I get name of this item?

I've tried item#getType()#name() but it returns RECORD_7

[drowsy helm]

Pretty sure you have to make your own mapping for it

[solar kayak]

I wanna ask why I cant build on unclaim lands

[drowsy helm]

Go to #help-server and be more dpecific

[pulsar parcel]

Hi, I have an error in the console, and I know it has something to do with the scoreboard class instance in the Main class. here is the code: https://pastebin.com/6ExQ1FCu

[fluid river]

woke up

where are noobs

show me

[fluid river]

maybe itemMeta name(just to try)

[drowsy helm]

You cant call new Scoreboard

Use ScoreboardManager#getNewScoreboard

[fluid river]

You called repairMethod before initializing the scoreboard itself

[drowsy helm]

That too lol

[fluid river]

❤️

[wraith apex]

ItemStack stack = player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand();
ItemMeta meta = stack.getItemMeta();
meta.getLore().get(0);

[pulsar parcel]

thx you guys

[fluid river]

found

[severe marsh]

It returns null in case it's "default" item

Anyways, I found a solution

[odd wedge]

Now run this while holding nothing

[quasi flint]

add a check

if the item is null

and be happy

[glass mauve]

how can I calculate the exact position (x, y, z) a player clicked a block with PlayerInteractEvent?

is there alr. given code for this math?

[fluid river]

??

[eternal oxide]

yes

[fluid river]

Event#getClickedBlock()#getLocation()

or you mean location of which part of block is interacted

[glass mauve]

yea, but will this give me just int coordinates? I want the exact location of the block the player clicked

[glass mauve]

yea

[eternal oxide]

I was fairly sure there was, sec

[fluid river]

just a vector from player eye location

to block at direction

and loop until location is not the block

[chrome beacon]

Wasn't it like getClickedBlockFace or smth

[glass mauve]

yea, I tried it with getEyeLocation.toVector and direction but couldn't get the math to work

[glass mauve]

yea, but that only says NORTH, SOUTH etc

iirc

[eternal oxide]

No you can only get teh BlockFace. Nothing more detailed than that. I believe paper has teh actual clicked spot

[fluid river]

Face returns SOUTH,WEST UP DOWN

And so on

not coordinates

[fluid river]

yes it has a getter for that

[chrome beacon]

Ah I see they need the exact coords

[fluid river]

skipped school

or university

[glass mauve]

no im still in school and we didn't learnt vectors yet

[serene sigil]

how do you detect if a player puts an item in a chest/any gui?

[fluid river]

Inventory related event

[eternal night]

I wanted to say there is a method for the exact interaction point

on the player interact event

[fluid river]

on paper only

[eternal night]

but that is paper only 😅

[serene sigil]

very helpful

lol

[fluid river]

Just go to javadocs

lol

and get all events which extend InventoryEvent

[grim ice]

Wow you guys really suck at helping people

[serene sigil]

alr

[fluid river]

didn't ask

[grim ice]

hate to break it to you but that's your job

if you want to help someone, that is

[eternal night]

[fluid river]

I am not helper

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/inventory/InventoryEvent.html

and i provided link

[grim ice]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/inventory/InventoryClickEvent.html

use this

[serene sigil]

omg

[grim ice]

check if the clicked inventory is a chest

[serene sigil]

wow

[grim ice]

and if the item clicked is not null

[serene sigil]

they provided a link :OOO

[grim ice]

only if ur not using paper btw

[fluid river]

There are not only chests

[serene sigil]

im using spigot

[fluid river]

but enchantments

and trades and crafting tables

and so on

if you need all, you probably should use more events

[glass mauve]

you found smth?

[serene sigil]

what is the event where u detect if a player opens a gui?

[glass mauve]

ah found it

[fluid river]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/getting-exact-or-close-location-on-a-block-when-clicked.518278/

[serene sigil]

InventoryOpenEvent?

[fluid river]

read it's description

if doesn't suit you create own event and listen to it

[serene sigil]

found it

[serene sigil]

its this

and is there a way to detect which inventory u opened?

like a Material?

or

sth

idk

[versed flint]

Check the title

player.getOpenInventory().getTitle() or sum like that

[serene sigil]

the title could be renamed tho

i tried player.getOpenInventory().getType().equals(InventoryType.ANVIL)but it didnt work

[fluid river]

check holder

op

[serene sigil]

?

[serene sigil]

wdym?

plz

i need

help

uwu

[fluid river]

inventory.getHolder()

[serene sigil]

player.getOpenInventory.getHolder?

doesnt work

[fluid river]

bro holder of inventory

that player opened

not player's inventory

[serene sigil]

oh

nvm

player.getInventory().getHolder().getOpenInventory().getType().equals(InventoryType.CHEST)

like this?

nop

doesnt work @fluid river

[fluid river]

brooooo what the fuck is this

[serene sigil]

lol

[fluid river]

learn logic

on inventory open event

[eternal oxide]

When are you trying to see what type the inventory is? In what event?

[fluid river]

get the inventory

which is opened

and get it's holder

[serene sigil]

event.getInventory().getHolder().equals(InventoryType.CHEST)?

[serene sigil]

what type of inv it is

[eternal oxide]

Which Event?

[serene sigil]

InventoryOpenEvent

[eternal oxide]

then don;t be silly. The event has the inventory

[serene sigil]

?

[eternal oxide]

event.getInventory()

[serene sigil]

no, i want to detect if a player opens a chest

in an if

and then say sth

[eternal oxide]

its always a player opening the inventory in the event

[serene sigil]

only for chest

yes

[wraith apex]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInteractEvent.html

this will help

Check the block clicked

[eternal oxide]

if (event.getInventory().getType() == InventoryType.CHEST)

[wraith apex]

that's no good

many plugins use chest inventories as GUI's

[eternal oxide]

He only asked if it was a chest

[serene sigil]

lol bro staight up said he

[wraith apex]

aight, well they said detect if player opens a chest

[serene sigil]

he*

[eternal oxide]

InventoryOpenEvent only triggers when a Player opens an inventory

[serene sigil]

dowsnt work

[upper shadow]

you need to learn about the source code of spigot java, if you dont viewing it, it might confuse about the functions...

[eternal oxide]

of course it works

[serene sigil]

Operator '==' cannot be applied to 'org.bukkit.inventory.Inventory', 'org.bukkit.event.inventory.InventoryType

[eternal oxide]

Yes it can its an Enum

[quaint mantle]

you forgot the getType()?

[serene sigil]

yea

[eternal oxide]

use teh actual code I gave you

[wraith apex]

if (event.getInventory().getType().equals(InventoryType.CHEST))

how about that?

[eternal oxide]

== for comparing enums

[upper shadow]

not recommended

[wraith apex]

but the above also works

[serene sigil]

ty, now it works

[wraith apex]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[peak wharf]

Hey, i Want to do a xp system... Its better to use MySQL for save the level and the XP of Each player in Each server or i need to use other things ?

[eternal oxide]

is the same data to be used across different servers?

[wraith apex]

the only thing you're saving yourself is a null check

[wraith apex]

I'd focus on getting a feature working before making it persistent. But to answer your question, I'd personally only store the xp amount

level should be calculated from the xp

[peak wharf]

No

[kindred valley]

Elgar

[peak wharf]

Different for Each server

[eternal oxide]

Then theres no point in using SQL at all

just store it in the players PDC

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[peak wharf]

Okay thanks i will check this

[upper shadow]

it can

database has TABLES

just seperate the tables ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wraith apex]

that or you can just store it in a simple .txt file

[chrome beacon]

PDC all the way

[upper shadow]

no

not recommended

[eternal oxide]

No point in either PDC is the answer

[kindred valley]

olivo

[upper shadow]

how if theres many people are playing together

[eternal oxide]

His data is relevant only to each player on that server

[upper shadow]

no its not reason

[wraith apex]

to re-iterate he said Different for Each server

so PDC or txt doesn't matter

txt is easier to access and read

it's convenient

[chrome beacon]

PDC is much easier to use and easier to store

[eternal oxide]

Do you just like arguing? He already stated that hsi data is server specific. Not used on other servers so not needed outside that server

[kindred valley]

Pdc is big piece of dogshit

[chrome beacon]

It's not

[eternal oxide]

Its direct player data. Store it ON the player itself (PDC)

[wraith apex]

I know what PDC is...

[eternal oxide]

PDC = NBT wrapper

[wraith apex]

thanks for the patronising tone though

[upper shadow]

how if there's playing together in the first server, how many file could create the plugin? how if you have players above 20k like hypixel?

[kindred valley]

It just signs directly the game

No reading

[eternal oxide]

What? PDC puts the data directly into the Players dat file.

[serene sigil]

also one tiny tiny question: how to make it so if u open a chest inv and theres an ender dragon egg on the floor, u cant pick it up until u closed the inv?

[quaint mantle]

PDC is pretty epic

[hazy parrot]

Gl with corruption

[kindred valley]

Change for the situation as i said

[chrome beacon]

????

[kindred valley]

Pdc is better at this place

[upper shadow]

it can increase storage, that why we disable in that option ¯_(ツ)_/¯

we use mysql or sqlite

[wraith apex]

implying pdc can't get corrupted?

[upper shadow]

to store player things

[wraith apex]

it can

[upper shadow]

because it can be currupted

[serene sigil]

i thought this was #help-development ...

[kindred valley]

They are talking about another topic

[eternal oxide]

Now you are just wasting my time. He stated he wants to store Level and exp. It takes LESS storage to simply put that in the PDC than to create a whole file system or save to SQL.

[wraith apex]

lol

[chrome beacon]

this

[kindred valley]

Yes pdc is original

[upper shadow]

pdc can create more enough

[eternal oxide]

ok troll

[charred blaze]

if you teleport player on 0.01 and then 0.02 and 0.03 will it be smooth walking? :D

[kindred valley]

What

[wraith apex]

yes

[charred blaze]

intresting

[serene sigil]

wdym

[kindred valley]

Wdym by floor

[eternal oxide]

no, it will not play any animation

[charred blaze]

animation?

[serene sigil]

like and item on the ground u can pick up

[upper shadow]

mysql not sqlite¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wraith apex]

yes it will...

[eternal oxide]

Walking animation

[charred blaze]

hmmm

[eternal oxide]

teleport every tick will simply slide the player to each new location

[wraith apex]

try it for yourself

[upper shadow]

i can make world border

with throw player animation

[wraith apex]

wrong

[hazy parrot]

How is it different?

[eternal oxide]

Stop arguing things you clearly know nothing about

[wraith apex]

xD

talk about stubborn

There is a walking animation

because that's how walking works

[eternal oxide]

Teleport triggers NO animations. It simply moves teh player to a new location

[wraith apex]

I've done this before

teleporting an entity really small distances causes them to appear as if they walk

[upper shadow]

Basically you write two queries with the same interface, Same set of parameters, same result format

however mysql doesnt

[hazy parrot]

?

[eternal oxide]

No, it causes them to slide to the new location. The client extrapolates teh movement and slides them. Zero animation

[serene sigil]

can any 1 help me plz, im a cute egrill

❤️

[kindred valley]

I mean listen for inventory event and check if the player is in inventory, make a boolean like

boolean isPlayerinInv;

And in listen for 'isPlayerinInv` at item pick-up event and if the situation is true set event cancelled.

[quaint mantle]

E Grill

[wraith apex]

There is movement

[kindred valley]

@serene sigil

[serene sigil]

ty

[kindred valley]

Cute e grill lol

[quaint mantle]

E-Grill moment

https://tenor.com/view/grill-grill-fail-idiot-fire-gif-25095963

[serene sigil]

thats me 😏

[quaint mantle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B69GfSqEZEs

[serene sigil]

oh god

wtf is that giant link

[quaint mantle]

google redirect link

my bad

[serene sigil]

lol

[upper shadow]

what does redirect do?

[quaint mantle]

Malware ok I changed it

xO

[upper shadow]

count of people clicking??

[wraith apex]

Me and Elgar are both correct
The player getting moved will not see a walk animation but other players on the server will see a walk animation

Same goes with entities

[charred blaze]

hm

[wraith apex]

So depends on if you care about the player themselves seeing the animation

[glass mauve]

what are all reasons why a block disappears/despawns/breaks etc

or will BlockBreakEvent handle all of them?

[serene sigil]

sry i was afk for a sec

wdym by that?

[peak wharf]

player.playSound(Location location, Sound sound, float volume, float pitch)
This line play sounds for all players ?

[ivory sleet]

iirc no

world::playSound

[glass mauve]

player.playSound is a non static call, so it seems its only for that player

[peak wharf]

because i just need to play sound for a specific player

okay perfect

thanks

[wraith apex]

BlockBreakEvent will handle any player interactions, You'll need to do something about pistons moving blocks and explosions

then I think you're all set

Oh and a rare case of enderman picking up and moving blocks

[glass mauve]

ok and what about commands etc

[wraith apex]

commands that change blocks?

[glass mauve]

cant you somehow remove/replace a block via commands?

[ivory sleet]

Yes

It’s possible

[wraith apex]

yes

[molten hearth]

how do you think worldedit does it lol

[wraith apex]

through /setblock, /fill,/ clone

[wraith apex]

world edit does it very differently

[glass mauve]

how can I handle that / catch that

[molten hearth]

Still replaces a block tho

Just overly complicated methods

[wraith apex]

but not the same way vanilla commands do

[ivory sleet]

Maybe you can catch it in the command preprocess event

[molten hearth]

I don't think I ever used vanilla commands in my life ngl

[wraith apex]

You'd have to have a listener for the command being sent

[molten hearth]

Maybe summon over 7 years

[wraith apex]

check if it's one of those commands and then parse the command yourself to figure out what block is being changed

[ivory sleet]

execute do be a dope command tho

[wraith apex]

are you checking a specific block?

how many blocks are you checking?

[kindred valley]

What the fuck may i would mean

[wraith apex]

if it's not many blocks you could just have a continuous clock that pulses every second or so to check the type of a block

doesn't consume much in terms of resources

[ivory sleet]

Chill a bit with the attitude

[kindred valley]

I explained him thewhole situation

[molten hearth]

I tried execute when I was trying to exploit something but it wasn the type of execute i expected lol

[wraith apex]

how about /gamemode creative

everyone does that

[molten hearth]

I install essentials and /gmv

Gmc*

The only reason I ever used essentials tbh

[wraith apex]

I'm talking sp

[molten hearth]

That and /thru or through I forgot

I don't play sp

[wraith apex]

neither do I, but for testing

[ivory sleet]

You probably have used op, deop and whitelist

[molten hearth]

I be setting up a server just to play in sp

Ah shit I did use those

[wraith apex]

^

ye

another one

/plugins

:p

or /p

[molten hearth]

I don't think pl is vanilla

[wraith apex]

naw it's servers

[molten hearth]

Idek what /p does

[wraith apex]

oh

nvm

thinking of spigot

[glass mauve]

hm maybe I change smth instead of listening to everything etc,
how can I give a block custom data which dont need to be persistent?
I currently save it in the pdc of the chunk, but I have problems when breaking block etc
cause the pos -> custom data, stays when block breaks gets removed etc.

so should I listen to all these events and then reset the specific key myself or
should I try to use smth else which only stores information (an instance of a class)
to a block and not the position of the block

[molten hearth]

Lmao

[wraith apex]

You can't give a block custom data to my knowledge unless it's something that can have data like chest, furance, smithing table etc. I have a mechanic where I need a similar solution. I've only made sure vanilla behaviours can't screw up the block type (like breaking, explosions, pistons etc.) as for commands that can modify blocks I don't bother supporting, I don't expect regular players to have access to those commands. Though I don't know what your mechanic is for.

Adding support for any unknown plugin that can modify block type in it's own convoluted way is a nightmare to support for

[ashen quest]

if i build my plugin in java 8, it will run for servers using 17 right?

[wraith apex]

should do

[glass mauve]

ok then I just use chunk pdc and check vanilla breaking explosion pistons

[wraith apex]

you can't do it the other way around though

Java 17 plugin on a Java 8 server is a no no

[glass mauve]

tho can explosion/pistons affect barrier blocks?
iirc you can only break it in creative right?

[wraith apex]

barrier blocks nah

they can't be moved or exploded

they have the same blast resistance as bedrock

[glass mauve]

ok ty

[ashen quest]

yea i know that

[glass mauve]

hm I get an error when trying to remove a chunk pdc's while disabling a plugin:

PersistentDataContainer pdc = new CustomBlockData(block, plugin);
pdc.remove(blockKey);

jeff_media's CustomBlockData

[vocal cloud]

Can't do that when it's disabling

[glass mauve]

is pdc it self trying to register a task or is it customblockdata

[vocal cloud]

I'd check the method and see

[glass mauve]

yea true

[drowsy helm]

Whatever setDirty is

In CustomBlockData

[vocal cloud]

There's your issue

[glass mauve]

why is he adding it and then removing it

[drowsy helm]

Good question

[glass mauve]

also why is he removing it in a task

[drowsy helm]

Is dirty blocks just a list?

[glass mauve]

its a HashSet

so basically

[drowsy helm]

I feel like theres some obscure reason for that

[glass mauve]

its not even using blockentry here

@tender shard

[drowsy helm]

Maybe an unfinished method

[glass mauve]

he will maybe explain it

[drowsy helm]

Ping wasnt really necessary

[glass mauve]

ik, but its his "plugin" and yesterday he said I can ask if there are still questions about it

then I will just remove it myself

[tardy delta]

why not use just the api for that

TabCompletor#onTabComplete

[vocal cloud]

Just register commands? That'll give you the ability to tab complete them

[eternal oxide]

Thats the command map

[vocal cloud]

Don't need to

[eternal oxide]

register commands then Player#updateCommands()

You assign permisions to each command

the player will only see teh commands they have permissions for from the command map

not if they don;t have that permission

[glass mauve]

did this now xD

didn't work :/

[serene sigil]

hi, basically i wrote this code that detects if a dragon egg is in a players inventory and gives the player +100 levels, but if the egg is picked up by the cursor and its not in the inventory, then you loose those 100 levels, so the problem now is that if you spam left click in the inventory you start duping levels......

how do i fix this?
code:

@EventHandler
    public void inventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent event) {
        if (event.getCurrentItem().getType().equals(Material.DRAGON_EGG) && event.getClickedInventory().getType().equals(InventoryType.PLAYER)) {
            Player player = (Player) event.getClickedInventory().getHolder();
            player.giveExpLevels(-100);
        }
        if (event.getCursor().getType().equals(Material.DRAGON_EGG) && event.getClickedInventory().getType().equals(InventoryType.PLAYER)) {
            Player player = (Player) event.getClickedInventory().getHolder();
            player.giveExpLevels(100);
        }
    }```

[iron glade]

Disable pickup to cursor maybe? Why are you checking enums with equals btw?

[serene sigil]

yea

[serene sigil]

no, pickup isnt the problem

ill show u

https://imgur.com/a/QY53ZCL

@iron glade

[hybrid spoke]

yeah obv

since sometimes you do 2 clicks at once

[serene sigil]

yea

but how do i fix that?

[hybrid spoke]

you could add a cooldown or whatever

or check if a click was made twice at the same time

and cancel the other one

[serene sigil]

wdym?

[hybrid spoke]

you could check the interval between the clicks and if its <5ms or whatever cancel it

[serene sigil]

and what do i have to cancel?

[hybrid spoke]

the second click á la inventory click event

[tardy delta]

click á la inventory 🤡

french

[serene sigil]

how do i compare it?

[smoky oak]

?

[sinful wadi]

hey! i have a MC server with plugins and need some help, is anyone able to help?

I have a plugin that allows /back and /home, but it only works if a player is OPd, any way to change it so it works for anyone?

[smoky oak]

look up permissions

[sinful wadi]

im pretty unexperienced

where do i look for that

[smoky oak]

google spigot permissions how

[sinful wadi]

ty!

[steady rivet]

Is it possible to cancel a block break event but make it still drop the items?

[tardy delta]

drop the items yourself

[smoky oak]

wtf is erasure

[steady rivet]

Yeah I could do that. Is there a method that gives me a list of the drops it was gonna drop?

I wanna say there is but I cannot remember

[smoky oak]

its part of the event i think

something something getdropitems

look up the jd

[tardy delta]

not sure if cancelling and still setting event.setDropsItems(true) will work

[smoky oak]

event wont execute so no

[steady rivet]

Moterius is correct here. I already tried that lol

I am gonna see if e.getBlock.getDrops(); does what I need since I see thats a thing

[tardy delta]

loop over it and drop them yourself

[steady rivet]

yeah thats what I just did haha

about to test it now

[serene sigil]

would this work?

if (event.getCursor().getType().equals(Material.DRAGON_EGG) && event.getClickedInventory().getType().equals(InventoryType.PLAYER)) {
            Player player = (Player) event.getClickedInventory().getHolder();
            player.giveExpLevels(100);
            event.setCancelled(true);
            Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(Main.getInstance(), new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    event.setCancelled(false);
                }
            }, 5);
        }```

[tardy delta]

you cant cast an invholder to a player?

so no

?di might be smth to use for your plugin instance too

u can

that part works completely fine

lol

what's a methods erasure and why cant i overload like this?

[long zephyr]

guys someone knows why Hex Code doesnt works in NameTags ?

[steady rivet]

how are you formatting it?

[tardy delta]

bruh just call event.getPlayer()

yes you can

mye just saw it in docs

kinda weird way to get a player tho

tf

[serene sigil]

its InventoryClickEvent

[long zephyr]

i'm setting the name of the ArmorStand with setCustomName and sending a PacketMetaData

[steady rivet]

just use ChatColor.of("#123456")

[wet breach]

depends, there is a couple of events if I recall that works off inventoryholder where you need to check if its a player or block

[long zephyr]

it doesnt works to me :(

[long zephyr]

that method works in Chat

but no in NameTag

x.x

[steady rivet]

give me a moment and I will do some testing

[long zephyr]

ty :(

[tardy delta]

ah (Player) event.getClickedWhatever()

forgot

[steady rivet]

real quick. Are you trying to do nametags as in above the player or nametags like the item.

[tardy delta]

just use this instead of that long ass method lol

[long zephyr]

nametags of armorstand

[tardy delta]

and private static final Pattern HEX_PATTERN = Pattern.compile("#[a-fA-F\\d]{6}");

const when

[long zephyr]

ty, i just copy a resource method

[serene sigil]

u cant use while in a plugin

it breaks the server

use Bukkit.getScheduler

[eternal oxide]

depends how long the while loops

[wet breach]

it will loop a while

[long zephyr]

i mean, display name of an ArmoStand

[steady rivet]

Update: this worked thanks <3

[serene sigil]

still its good practice to do this

[tardy delta]

doesnt matter if it only runs half a ms or whatever lol

i think i'm going to jail by using lombok

[echo basalt]

lombok is fine

it gets converted to compiled code via a ton of jank

[tardy delta]

wow copilot what are we doing

[ashen quest]

How can I store a list of objects in YAML & then get them in code.

YAML syntax confuses me alottt

[long zephyr]

you could serialize it

[ashen quest]

uhm i would not like serialization at this point

i just need to know how do u define a list of objects in yaml

[eternal oxide]

What objects?

[ashen quest]

like yaml objects

a ConfigSection with keys and values and stuff

a list of ConfigurationSections basically

[eternal oxide]

You need to read a YAML tutorial

?config

[ashen quest]

yeppp

?configuration

[eternal oxide]

there is somethign here but I can;t remember the command

[ashen quest]

?configs

[undone axle]

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

[ashen quest]

ayy it was ?configs

[long zephyr]

configurationsection.getKeys(false).forEach(key -> {}); u could do that

[ashen quest]

no no iits not about reading

its about writing

i wanted to know the syntax

[midnight shore]

Hi, i want to display particles on a raytrace path, how can I?

[long zephyr]

do you have the configsections ?

[ashen quest]

I found it

smth:
  -
    key: value

smth is a listt

[long zephyr]

check this https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/hitboxes-and-ray-tracing.174358/

[long zephyr]

and do you want to get the list ??

[ashen quest]

yes

well now i m kinda stuck, how do i serialize an ItemStack into a YAML object

• does it store alllll of the data? like enchants as well?

[long zephyr]

yep

[ashen quest]

how do u do it

[long zephyr]

wait me

[ashen quest]

ty fam

[long zephyr]

public static String encode(ItemStack item){

damnnn

ty familam

[long zephyr]

^^

[long zephyr]

i think you mean

Config:
  smth:
    key: asdf
    ket2: aw3
``` right?

[ashen quest]

no no

do u know JSON?

like this

[
  {obj},
  {obj2}
]

[long zephyr]

oh

i'm not the correct person xd

[ashen quest]

what does your encode function encode to?

yaml? or like b64?

[long zephyr]

Base64

but its work in yaml

[ashen quest]

gotcha fam

ill just store it as the value

wont cause any problems right?

[long zephyr]

noup

[ashen quest]

key: <b64 your code generates>

[long zephyr]

but ItemStack can be store in YML

no need seralize

[ashen quest]

how to?

i also need to store nbt data and stuff

[green prism]

How can I fix the fact that the inventory opens on onjoin but closes due to resourcepack loading? Can I make it open after the resource?

[long zephyr]

plugin.getConfig().set();
plugin.getConfig().getItemStack()

PlayerResourcePackStatusEvent.Status.SUCCESSFULLY_LOADED

[green prism]

Don't worry guys, I appreciate the response, but I've seen these two things before. I have no idea how to implement them other than with a whilecycle....

[echo basalt]

completablefuture ?

[wet breach]

literally will let you do what you are wanting

[echo basalt]

in a sync environment

or a callable

type deal

[wet breach]

you wanted the inventory to open after the resource pack, that event will give you the status

all you have to do is check for the appropriate status and then open the inventory

[green prism]

Okay, we have a serious problem.
I am blind.

[echo basalt]

I wonder if we could do dynamic resourcepacks per-player

depending on context

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerResourcePackStatusEvent.Status.html

the statuses you can get

[echo basalt]

like, making special areas of the map that need a different pack

[green prism]

You're right, thank you!

[echo basalt]

sure it would flicker a bit

[green prism]

But how can I check if there is no texture and then open the inv?

.SUCCESS? even if there isnt any texture?

[wet breach]

well if the server is setup to where it asks them to download, then if there is no texture they would have to have declined

otherwise they have accepted

once accepted, it will either be quick or take a few seconds for the status to be successful

[echo basalt]

man wants to check if it has been accepted prior to sending the request

[wet breach]

this is technically possible

[green prism]

Honestly, I didn't understand what I want to do.
I noticed that when the texture is installed, (If there is in the server), the inventory gets closed

so I assume I have to check to see if the process is failed or success and if so open?

[green prism]

I understood my problem, I was going around it.
How can I know if the server has a resourcepack that will be installed to the player? I think I need to do this check at onJoin.

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Bukkit.html#isResourcePackRequired()

[green prism]

Thank you! You gave me 2 hours of peace of mind 🙂

[wet breach]

well you are lucky you were here when I got off work 😛

otherwise you might not have known these things for a while XD

[green prism]

🙂

@chrome beacon taught me what I never understood about this

[ashen quest]

Does anyone know any GUI/Inventory APIs that make your life more sane

[green prism]

Phoenix616 InventoryGui

PlayerTextures textures = playerProfile.getTextures();
textures.setSkin(url);
playerProfile.setTextures(textures);

ItemStack head = new ItemStack(Material.PLAYER_HEAD);
SkullMeta meta = (SkullMeta) head.getItemMeta();
meta.setOwnerProfile(playerProfile);
head.setItemMeta(meta);

[ivory sleet]

yeah

well one thing would be to cache the reflective look up

final Field profileField = skullMeta.getClass().getDeclaredField("profile");

cache it constantly

since every time you call that method, getDeclaredField will be invoked

which is, to say the very least not the lightest call

[green prism]

Personally, I am comfortable putting STATIC inventories with heads into a hashmap initialized at startup.
In the end, you don't feel the weight as much

[ivory sleet]

oh I wasnt talking about that, but Ig

[green prism]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to reply ahhaa

[ivory sleet]

[abstract sleet]

man do you want to get banned

[green prism]

cheater

go #help-server lmao

[hasty prawn]

Sounds like a #help-server problem, and since you're using Paper you'll probably have to go there.

[reef lagoon]

I am godly at java

[abstract sleet]

after those pings I don't think you deserve help

[hasty prawn]

[ancient plank]

Don't ping random people for help @plucky citrus

No

[abstract sleet]

Can you go to the PaperMC discord?????

damn thats crazy

[reef lagoon]

Where would be the best place to store data about the player for a quest plugin

[abstract sleet]

you can use a relational database such as MySQL

[chrome beacon]

All textures are urls

Read the blog post 🙃

[reef lagoon]

I prefer saving it on the server

[abstract sleet]

you can use SQLite

doesn't have to be remote

[chrome beacon]

What version are you on?

[hasty prawn]

PDC probably then

Or JSON if you want a file

[chrome beacon]

💀

[abstract sleet]

update your server software

[reef lagoon]

Why JSON and not YML for example? Is one better than the other?

[hasty prawn]

Generally YML is better for configuration and JSON for data storage IMO

[abstract sleet]

do you have to?

[hasty prawn]

You can definitely use YML for data storage, it's up to you.

[chrome beacon]

Then keep going with the reflection you were working on earlier

(or read the last part of the blog post) nvm that was 1.16

[abstract sleet]

you can use SQLite if you know your way around the SQL language, otherwise JSON would be alright to use

[hasty prawn]

Yeah that works too I suppose

[reef lagoon]

I'll use JSON then

[wet breach]

JSON was never designed for data storage

[reef lagoon]

but it's faster

[abstract sleet]

^^ though it's just too convenient 😆

[wet breach]

its not

JSON is great for payloads

but it is not faster

[abstract sleet]

if your quest plugin is super simple and can work with a simple map of data then you can use the PDC though I still highly recommend just using SQLite

[reef lagoon]

i got scammed then

[hasty prawn]

Well neither was YML lol

[hazy parrot]

compared to yaml

[reef lagoon]

well I said faster, not fast

[wet breach]

yaml is basically people making JSON a data storage medium

[green prism]

How can I make it so that if the server is sending a resourcepack and if it does it will open an inventory after success/download failed. Or if there is no resource to download/accept/decline..., open another inventory at join?

There is no isResourcepackRequired value in 1.16.5

[abstract sleet]

careful where you are sourcing your info from. I don't believe that. there are so many factors to consider

[wet breach]

yaml is built on top of JSON

[wet breach]

this is the downsides of using outdated stuff

[tardy delta]

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

[green prism]

If I use 1.19, with this method, will it work in 1.16 as well?

[pulsar parcel]

How can I add players randomly to teams to have the same number in each team? Specifically, I have made an onJoin() method and in that method I join players to teams. I thought of int team = random.nextInt(1,3); and then if (team == number) {team.addEntry(e.getPlayer().getName())} and that works, but I can't think of any way to split the players evenly.

[wet breach]

not entirely sure what you asking

[wet breach]

use modulo to split the players evenly

this lets you get the remainder and decide where they should be put

[pulsar parcel]

ok I will try it

[green prism]

If I change the spigotversion to 1.19 and use isResourcePackRequired. If I then put the plugin in a 1.16 server, does it give me a stacktrace of 1203 lines or not?

[wet breach]

probably will

not sure how that would be a counter to what I said though. That is the downsides of using outdated software

[hasty prawn]

It definitely will throw an error

The method won't exist on the 1.16 server

[abstract sleet]

the 1.16 server does not have the method so it will not work regardless of however much you increase the spigot version

[wet breach]

I don't worry about outdated stuff

if you are using outdated stuff, then I am of no help

[green prism]

Well, it's hard to get so many people to use a plug-in just for 1.19

[abstract sleet]

if you use outdated stuff then you should be ready for any consequences :P

[hasty prawn]

frost do you only develop for the latest?

Or a few versions before as well

[wet breach]

its not

[abstract sleet]

what

[wet breach]

I have a plugin with over 80k downloads I think it is

and not once have I ever supported outdated versions

[green prism]

Well, leaving that aside, do you guys have any ideas for replacing isResourcepackRequired?

[abstract sleet]

LevelledMobs has been out since the 1.15 days and the vast majority of servers running it are 1.19.x, despite the latest version being compatible with 1.16.x onwards

[wet breach]

what it does take, is patience as well dedication to providing a quality plugin

[wet breach]

there really is none because before that method the client never reported back a response if I remember right

the only way would be to force the player to accept the texture pack

don't accept a decline as being valid XD

[hasty prawn]

I mean, PlayerResourcePackStatusEvent exists in 1.16.1

[ashen quest]

Do u guys know any Inventory prototypes tools? like u can design a prototype gui/inventory for referenace

[wet breach]

ah, well I don't always keep perfect account of when methods appeared

or disappeared

[green prism]

aaaarhugasdgfad.
I just need to make sure that the inventory doesn't close if some useless plugin sends a resourcepack

[abstract sleet]

you can use deluxe menus. thats what I do

[hasty prawn]

Well if you're not memorizing the entire javadocs for every version why are you here

[wet breach]

it was only like yesterday I remember armor stands not existing

and having to use invisible entities for holograms 😛

[hasty prawn]

ArmorStands were 1.8 weren't they?

[wet breach]

yes

because of holograms

so, how the holograms used to work actually relied on a bug

a bug that Mojang publicly stated they were going to patch in 1.8

[hasty prawn]

What really

[ashen quest]

so u telling me there are people who havent memorized every single java bytecode file and the java docs and the whole jvm code and how every single OS in the world runs?

[wet breach]

Yes. Said bug was the horse age bug

[hasty prawn]

Yep, lazy people...

[ashen quest]

well i meant out of the game, like a web site or smth

[wet breach]

if you set a horses age to a negative value, it turned it invisible all except its name tag

[ashen quest]

noobs

[wet breach]

this is how Holograms came about

[hasty prawn]

Lmao wtf

[wet breach]

I know because I helped develop the first Hologram plugin 😛

Now, we don't take credit for discovering Holograms

[abstract sleet]

Thanks for the story. I didn't know people even attempted holograms back in the day

[wet breach]

just the making of the first plugin for it

[hasty prawn]

Now we have HolographicDisplays

[wet breach]

Some person discovered this bug and it was a youtube video. Anyways me and few other bukkit dev staff at the time turned that into a plugin to provider it to serve owners as a feature

[ashen quest]

frostalf is the master oogway of spigot ngl

i get sage vibes from u

like the wise wise sages

[wet breach]

HolographicDisplays was the second plugin to provide holograms. They were 3 months behind HoloAPI

I know the developer for that plugin 😛

[abstract sleet]

Is filoghost still around?

[wet breach]

have no idea

wouldn't surprise me

[hasty prawn]

I mean HolographicDisplays is still updated afaik

Mar 12 2022 was last update

On Bukkit atleast

Oh, yeah filoghost committed to the repo 4 days ago, he's still around.

[wet breach]

Anyways

So one day some couple months before 1.8

Mojang states they are going to patch that horse bug and everyone got upset

because this meant that Holograms were going to go away

So Mojang was now forced to implement Holograms as a feature, hence armor stands are entities that can be invisible

Can thank HoloAPI and HolographicDisplays for making Holograms back then very popular 🙂

[hasty prawn]

Hey thanks! :D

[wet breach]

That is one of the biggest parts of history I enjoy having being part of

even if people don't know about HoloAPI anymore or that I helped XD

HoloAPI has 2 other developers that are not active in the MC scene as far as I am aware

DSH105 and CaptainBern

[wet breach]

I am like the Historian of MC XD

[modest garnet]

Hey im aware this is not the place however i have a question about mongoDB, (if you dont know about mongo you can skip this q)

anyway ive got a "points" system which uses mongoDB for storage however i want a leader board command.
how would i filter through the database to get the top 10 members with most points

[wet breach]

db.foo.find().sort({points:1}).limit(10);
db.foo.find().sort({points:-1}).limit(10);

[modest garnet]

wait whats the difference -1 the lowest 10?

[tardy delta]

i took a look in my books for college and i saw mongodb :(

[wet breach]

1 is ascending order, -1 is descending order

so if you want the person with the top points at the top it will be -1

and limit(10) will grab the first 10 results from that

[modest garnet]

do you know why its red?

[fluid river]

is points:-1 even a valid construction in Java?

[modest garnet]

?

[fluid river]

i never seen this

{value:-1}

[wet breach]

yes

turn points into $points

[fluid river]

actually just hover the mouse on it

and it will give you a reason why it's red

[wet breach]

its probably the negative number

might need to add ''

[worldly ingot]

Lewi, are you writing in Java or MDB shell script?

[modest garnet]

java

[worldly ingot]

Right, so frostalf's example was a shell script ;p

[modest garnet]

oof

whats the best way for java if you dont mind

should of made it clear mb

[wet breach]

https://tenor.com/view/spoon-big-spoon-funny-mad-evil-stare-gif-17762991

[worldly ingot]

What are you using for libraries?

[modest garnet]

not your fault lol its fine haha

[worldly ingot]

Morphia?

[modest garnet]

this is it, its for jda

[worldly ingot]

I meant for Mongo. How do you connect to Mongo ;p

[wet breach]

I don't spoonfeed, but knowing the shell way though should help you understand how to possibly achieve it in java depending on the lib you are using

[vocal cloud]

4.7.0 👀

[worldly ingot]

Ye. Depends on your lib

[modest garnet]

i cant lie i dont use mongo lol i just learnt most from some videos

and this is it

[wet breach]

but that driver looks old

[worldly ingot]

The concepts should be pretty interchangeable between frostalf's shell script and Java though

[tacit yoke]

is there a need for mongo in your use case tho?

[wet breach]

probably not, but that is beside the point. They wanted help with this, help has been provided 🙂

[vocal cloud]

Doesn't try with resources close the connection and thus the collection

[wet breach]

only if you do it properly

otherwise not necessarily

[worldly ingot]

oops

lol

[tardy delta]

hehe

[wet breach]

try (resource){} is the proper way for try with resources to auto close something

[tacit yoke]

yeah but probably pointing him towards the right path instead of helping him in this case would be better, cause mongo has really a small amount of use cases

[wet breach]

it isn't for us to decide what they should or should not use

[modest garnet]

its for a mate he wants mongodb so idk

i tend to use sql

[worldly ingot]

MongoDatabase database = client.getDatabase("whatever");
database.getCollection("whatever").find().sort(new BasicDBObject("points", 1)).limit(10);

[modest garnet]

i might have found a solution tho

[tacit yoke]

I guess

[worldly ingot]

In theory, that should work

At least given frostalf's example

Also not at all resource safe, handling closed connections, etc.

[modest garnet]

would this work the same?

[iron glade]

Mongo in German can be literally used as an insult lol

[tardy delta]

same in dutch

thats why i hate that name

[worldly ingot]

Not sure what ascending is

[wet breach]

I should remember this when MiniDigger is on

what exactly does it translate to?

[tacit yoke]

in italian too

[vocal cloud]

Can be in English too if you add more to the word

[quiet ice]

[wet breach]

[quiet ice]

Could also be speech issues, idk. At least it isn't something that nice

[wet breach]

now that you said that, I am very much curious

[quiet ice]

I should know it given that I am german myself, but just knowing that it is an insult is enough for me

[tardy delta]

discord on its best

[vocal cloud]

Yeah that's the word

It's considered extremely rude but tbh it sounds really funny

[modest garnet]

lol i use that word daily, its basically standard in uk haha

[tacit yoke]

same for italian and I'm guessing all close relative languages

[iron glade]

It's used quite often by teenagers in Germany as insult

[wet breach]

figured it out

what the insult is

[tardy delta]

hehe

[wet breach]

that is just lazy

you should compute it

even if it takes a million years to do so

[vocal cloud]

BigDecimal moment

[tardy delta]

mye

[vocal cloud]

If you have the memory BigDecimal has the number

[tardy delta]

precision kinda fails

bigdecimal only slow

[wet breach]

so one of the insults with that word, is old fish

the other is down syndrome

[tardy delta]

hehe youre an old fish 🤓

[wet breach]

guess being called that in Germany is a big deal

I am going to use it on Minidigger

just to see how they react

[tardy delta]

lol

[vocal cloud]

Well it's racial because of its relation to the Mongols

[tardy delta]

either my calculator is wrong or my maths

probably last one lol

[wet breach]

Germans don't like the Mongols or something?

[vocal cloud]

It's an insult in English too so I assume it's a European insult

[quiet ice]

I myself am not familiar with that part at all

[wet breach]

it isn't an insult that I am aware of in English

[vocal cloud]

I'd send the link but I can't. It's not a racist term it's just that it originally was used as a reference to a group of people and then eventually became used as a word for mentally slow

[wet breach]

I need to get my hands on a VR headset >>

I mean setting those properties isn't that much of a deal

[wet breach]

they are going to sell you

so I think now we need to determine the price the opening bids should start at

And certainly not yours

fixed

:c

[quiet ice]

Anyways, invoking https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/InventoryView.html#setProperty(org.bukkit.inventory.InventoryView.Property,int) with the proper property and value should be really easy, what exactly should the API abstract away there?

Does the client always end the title if a subtitle with shorter duration is sent, or is there a solution?

[quiet ice]

Do you want the furnace GUI to be fundementally different or is there something different you want

Hello, I am trying to spawn armor stand with packets in 1.19.2 but no matter the entityType it always spawns alloy. Can anyone help? ```java
int entityID = new Random().nextInt();
final PacketContainer packetContainer = new PacketContainer(PacketType.Play.Server.SPAWN_ENTITY);

            final int entityType = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
            final int extraData = 1;
            packetContainer.getIntegers().write(0, entityID);
            packetContainer.getIntegers().write(1, entityType);
            packetContainer.getIntegers().write(2, extraData);

            packetContainer.getUUIDs().write(0, UUID.randomUUID());

            Location location = player.getLocation();
            packetContainer.getDoubles().write(0, location.getX());
            packetContainer.getDoubles().write(1, location.getY());
            packetContainer.getDoubles().write(2, location.getZ());

            ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().sendServerPacket(player, packetContainer);

I wanted to make a single method to get a FurnaceGUI element and open it to the player, without using 10 different listener classes

[quiet ice]

Good question - I'd assume it does

[green prism]

youre right! as always 🙂

ok, I should stop

Myes - easily doable with just a simple https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/HumanEntity.html#openInventory(org.bukkit.inventory.Inventory) and then setting the properties. If you need to do something peridoically just add an appropriate scheduler

Although as you correctly identified managing/protecting the inventory is another question

[green prism]

I see, it sounds smart from the way you explained it, thank you

[quiet ice]

However you could just use your traditional GUI library (assuming it supports custom inventory types) and use https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/HumanEntity.html#setWindowProperty(org.bukkit.inventory.InventoryView.Property,int) instead

Only issue is that the properties are reset when the view is closed/reopened

Hello guys, i need help with something :(
i'm trying to translate the color of string with hex code,
but i'm getting the wrong color or just its not printing any color
its happens only with display names, in chat its working

code:
|| ```java
public static String translateColorCodes(String message){
if(message == null) return null;
String startTag = "&#";
String endTag = "";
char COLOR_CHAR = ChatColor.COLOR_CHAR;
final Pattern hexPattern = Pattern.compile(startTag + "([A-Fa-f0-9]{6})" + endTag);
Matcher matcher = hexPattern.matcher(message);
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(message.length() + 4 * 8);
while (matcher.find())
{
String group = matcher.group(1);
matcher.appendReplacement(buffer, COLOR_CHAR + "x"
+ COLOR_CHAR + group.charAt(0) + COLOR_CHAR + group.charAt(1)
+ COLOR_CHAR + group.charAt(2) + COLOR_CHAR + group.charAt(3)
+ COLOR_CHAR + group.charAt(4) + COLOR_CHAR + group.charAt(5)
);
}
String sr = matcher.appendTail(buffer).toString();

   return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', sr);

}

[tardy delta]

why didnt you use the damn thing i sent

also why tf use a stringbuffer, those are threadsafe and slow

[fluid river]

4 and 5

[opal juniper]

yep

[wet breach]

statement.closeOnCompletion(); has no effect

it doesn't work on non-result producing statements

[opal juniper]

yea, i was just trying everything i saw on stackoverflow lul

[wet breach]

you should use execute() when using preparedstatements

[opal juniper]

again, see previous comment

Hey, do you have the link to the topic about using getInstance in plugins ?

[wet breach]

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

[opal juniper]

cant you just do JavaPlugin.getPlugin(YourMainClass.class)

but yeah, di it

[wet breach]

oh didn't see that message

[rotund pond]

Ty my dude

[wet breach]

that works with mainclass as well as just using a static with main class

but it generally isn't the main class where the problem arises

[hardy lynx]

Hello everyone! I wanted to ask a question: "But how do you publish your skript on SpigotMC" ?

[fluid river]

like 5 lines of code

[rotund pond]

Wdym ?

[hasty prawn]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/ Click "Add Resource" and set the category to "Skript"

[fluid river]

basically 3 lines of getter, one line of field declaration, on line in onEnable() of initialisation

And one line to use when you need

actually you can do it with 2 lines without getter, but only if java supports static imports

[rotund pond]

Why are you telling me this ?

I don't understand

[fluid river]

Learnjava

private static YourMainClass instance; // 1

public void onEnable() {
    instance = this; // 2
}

public static YourMainClass getInstance() { // 3
    return instance; // 4
} // 5```

to use in other class

just use YourMainClass.getInstance() when needed

[rotund pond]

I know what getInstance is, why are you explaining me this ?

[green prism]

can I use java 17 plugins in 1.16?

[twilit roost]

I made one Util Plugin
and I want to use it in my other plugin

I have depends: set to Util
also I have shaded version of 2nd plugin in /plugins/ and Util plugin also included in /plugins/

but it still doesn't
work

by that I mean, utility plugin doesn't start?

[lethal knoll]

Got a question, I'm making a plugin to select 2 positions. Upon demand, it will remove all the blocks (like WE) between those points and upon demand also restore. Now the question is, how bad would be it to actually store every individual block location and it's data so that in case of a server crash, you can still restore the cuboid zone. Everything is stored in a custom config so it would mean that the entire file is loaded into the memory

[fluid river]

.

thought you need help with it

cuz it's #help-development

[tender shard]

you never set the instance field to anything

[twilit roost]

yes I did
the Utility plugin works fine seperately
but doesn't work in other plugins

[tender shard]

well but you only do it in onEnable, why do you wait so long

set it in the init block

[delicate lynx]

static getter 🤦

[tender shard]

private static MyThing instance;

{
  instance = this;
}

[twilit roost]

private static Pelican instance;
{
    instance = this;
}
public static Pelican getInstance(){
    return instance;
}

so like this?

[tender shard]

yes

[odd wedge]

Nothing wrong with this ey

[twilit roost]

still same error
should I set scope to provided?

[tender shard]

oh yeah ofc you must not shade it into some othe rplugin
