[hazy parrot]

Gson is using
.parse(json, YourClass.class)kind of type safety

[tender shard]

yeah, and in simple-json you just cast it yourself

basically the same thing

damn is that new again

[quaint mantle]

@tender shard After checking: For some ungodly reason, it sees it as either being blank or nil inside the event handlers ONLY

i tried doing this

private Map<UUID, HashMap<String, Object>> invList;

if(invList == null || invList.isEmpty()){
            invList = new HashMap<>();
        }

and now it reads it as null so its not my code thats weird its the eventhandlers

[tender shard]

that code wouldn't even compile?

you cannot have an if statement outside of a code block (method, constructor, static init block, etc)

[quaint mantle]

ik thats inside of openInventory

public void openInventory(Player p){
    if(invList == null || invList.isEmpty()){
        invList = new HashMap<>();
    }
    createInventory(p);
    p.openInventory((Inventory) invList.get(p.getUniqueId()).get("Inv"));
}

[tender shard]

I doN't understand why you always create a new HashMap

[quaint mantle]

heres the actual code

[quaint mantle]

wdym

public class LotteryGui implements Listener {
    private Map<UUID, HashMap<String, Object>> invList = new HashMap<>();

isnt this creating it once in the class

[tender shard]

invList can NEVER be null unless you set it to null somewhere

it looks like you always only read from the map, but never properly add to it

[quaint mantle]

OH MY GOD

I FIGURED IT OUT.

BECAUSE I WAS ALWAYS GENERATING A NEW CLASS, I JUST NEEDED TO MAKE IT STATIC.

[tender shard]

uuuughm

X doubt

[remote swallow]

no

[quaint mantle]

I kept getting told using static was bad so I didnt want to use it

[remote swallow]

static bad dont use it

[tender shard]

static is not bad

[remote swallow]

in most cases it is

[tender shard]

but many people abuse it

and that's bad

[quaint mantle]

i used to abuse static and now i dont

this is the first time using static in my code

[tender shard]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/static-methods-and-fields-when-to-use-them-and-when-to-avoid-them/

[quaint mantle]

huh

[tender shard]

did you register your listener more than once maybe? or sth like that?

usually you have exactly one instance per listener, they are basically singletons

(not always, but in 99% of cases)

[quaint mantle]

nope only once

but every time that event ran

it would create a new instnace of the gui

[tender shard]

hm well did you already fix it now? if not, all I can suggest is to upload your FULL PLUGIN SOURCE CODE on github or sth, then send it here

[quaint mantle]

yes

[tender shard]

ok good

but you always have to remember: No one can be older than 150 years!

TL;DR
You can declare everything as static that either describes stuff about the class itself, or that will never be changed in any object instances.

but making something static because "otherwise it won't work" sounds like you did sth wrong, as Epic said :/

story of my life

"should X do Y?"
"yes, unless it doesn't"

lol

[glossy venture]

yo im trying to have players always join in one world at the spawn, regardless of where they logged out. it works when you logged in before, but it doesnt work for people the first time they join. they just spawn in the default/main server level. no errors, nothing, this is how im doing it

@EventHandler
void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
  // ...

  // schedule teleport
  Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(plugin, () -> {
      // teleport to world spawn
      e.getPlayer().teleport(connectWorld.getSpawnLocation());
  }, 1);

  // ...
}

[tender shard]

do you have any other plugins installed?

[glossy venture]

multiverse

which i actually dont think i need

[tender shard]

nothing else?

[glossy venture]

so ill uninstall that i think

nah

[tender shard]

try to uninstall it, see if that changes anything

probably multiverse does sth similar

btw I don't think you need to delay it by one tick

[glossy venture]

was an attempt at fixing it

i had it immediately at first

i also saw MV code which does it a tick later

so yeah idk

[tender shard]

try to do it without delay, and uninstall multiverse. if that still doesn't work, then I have absolutely no clue lol

if it works after uninstalling multiverse, then I guess yo uhave to delay it a bit longer, since multiverse probably tries to do the same

[glossy venture]

oh boy ill have to get another mc instance

[tender shard]

but then you need sth to sync inventories across servers

or do you mean another client / account?

if so, you could just remove your playerdata from the world folder

or I could quickly join to test it

[glossy venture]

sure

ill delete all player data ig

wait

[tender shard]

kk

[glossy venture]

k ypu can join now i think

wait

nvm

[tender shard]

I cannot, you didnt send me any IP lol

1.19.2?

[glossy venture]

i sent you in dms right

few days ago

yes

but the server shat itself

[tender shard]

send again pls

[glossy venture]

i gotta restart it lol

ok

[tender shard]

I get like 20 DMs every day, it's very annoying haha

[quaint mantle]

    @EventHandler
    public void onDamage(EntityDamageEvent e) {
        if (e.getCause() == EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.FALL) {
            Bukkit.getConsoleSender().sendMessage("fall damage");
            e.setCancelled(true);
        } else if (e.getCause() == EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.VOID) {
            Bukkit.getConsoleSender().sendMessage("void damage");
            e.setCancelled(true);
        }        
    }

So when I get fall damage it sends 1 time "fall damage"

But if I get void damage it completly spamms "void damage" instead of sending it once per second or something

[kind hatch]

That’s cause void damage is constant damage. Fall damage is a one time thing.

[quaint mantle]

and is there a way to say spigot/mc it should wait 1 second

As it is when I spring normally in the void

I only get 1 time every ~ second damage

But not constantly

[kind hatch]

Not exactly sure what you mean, but you could cancel the event every so often to prevent the damage.

[quaint mantle]

i mean I only want that the event gets executed 1 time every 1 second

Or something

[eternal oxide]

you take damage every tick, you mean you only want a message every 1 second

set a field for teh last time you sent a message

if the timeMS is not +1000 it's not been a second

[kind hatch]

AFAIK, no, you cannot slow down the rate of events as they are fired by the server, but you can cancel the event.

However, there’s workarounds.

[quaint mantle]

i fond a plugin called "nohitdelay"

May I can make it to "hitdelay"

xD

They use: e.getPlayer().setMaximumNoDamageTicks(Integer.parseInt(this.getConfig().getString("hit-delay")));

[kind hatch]

Pretty sure void damage ignores that value.

[quaint mantle]

oh ok

[gray merlin]

Is there a way to spawn in a boat of a certain type straight away? Currently i'm spawning it in with
.spawnEntity(stackEntity.getLocation(), EntityType.BOAT);
and then changing the type with
.setBoatType(this.popBoatType());
but that causes a small flicker.

[sonic goblet]

If you don’t find a proper solution a work around might be to temporarily spawn the boat invisible and have it reappear after the entity type is switched

[gray merlin]

Unfortunately that workaround would probably psychologically mislead my client into thinking that some of the processes are slow/that the server is lagging, and i'd rather keep the flickering by that point...

but I do appreciate the suggestion

[echo basalt]

the spawn method has an entity consumer with actions that run before the entity is sent to the player

[gray merlin]

Oh, I see! I'll check it out, thank you.

[tender shard]

how did you compile your stuff @sonic cosmos

[sonic cosmos]

mvn clean install

[tender shard]

hm that should work

open your .jar, and check if the file is actually there

you can open it with winrar / extract it with unzip / whatever

[sonic cosmos]

wait but

i have that plugin midule inside a nats-api

https://imgur.com/a/7v6Z01W

[tender shard]

imgur doesnt work for me, no clue why

have you checked whether your plugin .jar file actually contains a file at io/nats/client/Options$Builder.class ?

[sonic cosmos]

yes, it has

oh

okay

i know

[tender shard]

what version of nats do you use? what's your java version?

[sonic cosmos]

i changed to

<dependency>
            <groupId>net.jedzius</groupId>
            <artifactId>nats-api</artifactId>
            <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>

and it worked

[tender shard]

and what was it before?

[sonic cosmos]

without scope

[tender shard]

tbh that cannot have changed anything

compile is the default scope

maybe you used the wrong .jar or sth

[sonic cosmos]

maybe but anyway thanks for help

[hasty prawn]

What's the problem

?ask

[undone axle]

If you have a question, please just ask it. Don't look for staff or topic experts. Don't ask to ask or ask if people are awake or available. Just ask the question to the channel straight out, and wait patiently for a reply. Make sure you use the right channel regarding the topic of your question. Create a thread in case the channel is already in use!

[pine pine]

Right sorry

I am trying to use this command on my Spigot server, doesnt work.

/give A2rath bow{display:{Name:'[{"text":"Test sword","italic":false}]',Lore:['[{"text":"1","italic":false}]','[{"text":"2","italic":false}]','[{"text":"3","italic":false}]']},Enchantments:[{id:flame,lvl:1},{id:power,lvl:10}]} 1

Tried in Singleplayer, works fine. what is the issue?

[hasty prawn]

Essentials is why

Do /minecraft:give on the server

[pine pine]

Aha let me try

So I just replace base of the command?

[hasty prawn]

Yes

[pine pine]

Ooo thansk!

You are my savior

[icy beacon]

what is a good way to get a NMS entity from a normal entity? right now I have this code:

fun getNMSEntity(entity: Entity) : net.minecraft.world.entity.Entity {
  return (entity as CraftEntity).handle
}

which works, because i have the following import:

import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_18_R2.entity.CraftEntity

i'm trying to make it multiversional, so what do I do? the package name for CraftEntity is version-dependent, as seen in the import. do I need reflection to create an object from package name somehow?

as a certified nms amateur, i hereby request help of nms experts

[opal juniper]

yeah that is possible, but if not create separate modules for each version with classes that all implement a common interface and then just some quick logic to determine which to load

[icy beacon]

hm, guess I gotta learn multimodules too :D

[fervent panther]

How do I store a boolean in PDC?

[old cloud]

Guess you could just use a byte: false = 0, true != 0

[warm trout]

How would I simulate a player throwing an item out of their inventory?

dropNaturally doesnt exactly work, as it just drops it on the player

[old cloud]

Or implement it on your own

[fervent panther]

I'm just surprised it isn't an option by default

[old cloud]

because you can use byte

[fervent panther]

ok ig I'll just use byte. Thanks

[old cloud]

You can do it like this:```java
boolean decodeBoolean(byte input) {
return input != 0;
}
byte encodeBoolean(boolean input) {
return input ? 1 : 0;
}

Its very easy to do and therefore probably not necessary to implement

[tardy delta]

store a byte

[old cloud]

thanks for not reading anything

[tardy delta]

with pleasure

[fervent panther]

There's an error because that 0 is an int. Is there a way to fix it besides casting it to byte?

[tardy delta]

(byte) 0

[wet breach]

what is the issue of casting it?

[fervent panther]

I'm new to Java so I was just wondering if there was a better way

[tardy delta]

well you cant just do byte b = 0 cuz 0 is an int, something like 0b doesnt exist either so you have to cast it to a byte yourself

[remote swallow]

^^

[fervent panther]

Thanks! I was wondering if there was something like 0b because there is for f and d

[tardy delta]

nah there isnt a byte suffix

and the reason pdc doesnt have a datatype for a boolean is cuz the size of a boolean is the same size as a byte ig

I am searching for a plugin that allowed you to add a new specific unity like hearts. But it will be souls for example. And when you lose all your souls there is an action. Do you have an idea of what type of plugins I need ?

how do i write on this field using PacketContainer (ProtocolLib)? Like there isn't a getAngles() method

[quaint mantle]

i'm not sure i understood what you're searching for

like a plugin that adds a new stat?

yes

like hearts

or food

[midnight shore]

let me see

[quaint mantle]

and i want to add an event like when we have no (example) there is a command that happene

[midnight shore]

this kinda seems a plugin that you should code by yourself because i don't think theres something this specific

[quaint mantle]

i dont know how to code

can you give me a youtubeur that help me coding

[midnight shore]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/⭐happyhud⭐custom-bars-and-number-displays✅replace-vanilla-look✅auto-resource-pack-builder.96299/ probably something like this should be ok but its a pay-for plugin

just 11 hours

🤯

[quaint mantle]

just* ?

[midnight shore]

it is relatively a small time considering that i spent surely more on learning this

[quaint mantle]

do you know like a custom plugin that execute command when actions are executed

[midnight shore]

what do you mean *actions?

[quaint mantle]

like when i get no example left so i get banned or kicked

[midnight shore]

you could probably do this using command blocks and scoreboards (the old way)

[quaint mantle]

i have to go can we have a private conversation so we can talk tomorow ?

[hazy parrot]

probably skript, but you would need to learn its syntax too

[midnight shore]

okay

yes i have thought that but we cant associate plugins and scoreboard

uhm idk if I aggree with that

How can I chek if an advancement completed by a player in PlayerAdvancementDoneEvent was the "Free the end" advancement?

[river oracle]

that seems insane no way

uhh wait i did this yesterday

[river oracle]

programming language*

[quiet ice]

And to not commit the target folder or to use a git repo to only store compiled binaries

[river oracle]

what do people do this

[midnight shore]

i used the AdvancementDisplay class

but thats a 1.19 thing iirc

[quiet ice]

Both are extremely frequent cases

[hazy parrot]

that is like more then 5 years if learning to code every single day for 3 hours

[midnight shore]

what do you mean

[river oracle]

facts I only been coding for a year and a half I'd say I'm pretty decent

[quiet ice]

Looks about right

[shell trench]

can you send me some code?
I really dosen't know how to check it inside of the PlayerAdvancementDoneEvent

[midnight shore]

how can i get the angles so that then i do .write(0, and the angle)?

there's no container.getYaw()

[midnight shore]

wait

?

ohh so they are floatss

[tardy delta]

only three hours lol

[midnight shore]

actually in the Server.ENTITY_TELEPORT the head of the entity doesn't actually get rotated right?

[quiet ice]

Syntax isn't the only part of learning a language. Being able to intuitively understand what other programmers of that language are writing is another thing. This means you need to obtain a lot of experience from a variety of sources.

Then there is also the buildchain. It's usually never (especially in modding space) as simple as just slapping gradle or maven on it and calling it a day

[midnight shore]

because to move it I have to use the ENTITY_LOOK

[river oracle]

I've only had to do a little bit of build chain stuff, I hate it though 💀, but who doesn 't hate themselves doing buildchain

[quiet ice]

That is why I am writing one from scratch :)

[river oracle]

oh you have depression?

have you considered therapy?

[quiet ice]

Nah, it's simply that gradle and maven are unsuited for my purposes

[river oracle]

couldn't you just make your own plugins

[quiet ice]

Yes, but I've estimated that it would take more effort to maintain them correctly for eternity than to just build it from scratch

[river oracle]

fair

[midnight shore]

anyone knows how is Entity Look packet named on wiki.vg?

[quiet ice]

Plus it uses the janino compiler so I'll be very sure that I won't get the issues that I get with vendor JDKs on linux that I get when using javac

[wet breach]

this isn't all that difficult if you are making a build system around the java compiler, what would be harder is if you were making a custom compiler

but if all you are doing is just a custom build system to do what you want, then it really isn't all that difficult except taking the time to make it

complexity goes up if you intend to release it for the public and then having it to make it more modular then what you really needed it to be lmao

[slow oyster]

If there's any PR reviewers online I just made a new PR for a new Hopper event if you could let me know if you think I need to change anything: https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/craftbukkit/pull-requests/1119/overview

[quiet ice]

I've gone a bit overkill on the modularity

[wet breach]

I suppose I could review the PR

have some time before going to work lmao

[twilit roost]

this won't work ig?

[wet breach]

I can already see a possible problem with the API portion

so, you have it returning an inventory, that is either the source or the attached, but what if there is both?

[remote swallow]

private int outside of static ()

[slow oyster]

@wet breach It sends two separate events, for each type

[remote swallow]

public clss MyUtilClass {
  private int myInt;

  private void setMyInt(int i) {
    myInt = i;
  }
}

[wet breach]

ah ok, as long as it is two separate events, still see that causing some problems for some if they were wanting to also get the attached at the same time lol

[twilit roost]

right so I can't wrap all variables via single static ?
those variables aren't meant to be getted

[quiet ice]

e.g. the build configuration of one of my testing projects is

LOAD slbc-janino-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
LOAD slbc-ide-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

I made it one Event for simplicity, so you can just do something like this. It gets called for both: @EventHandler public void hopperEvent(HopperInventorySearchEvent event) { switch (event.getContainerType()) { case SOURCE -> event.setInventory(source.inventory); case ATTACHED -> event.setInventory(attached.inventory); } }

[wet breach]

other then that, I don't really see that much of an issue, time to look at the implementation side 😄

[midnight shore]

Anyone knows how is the Protocol Lib's EntityLook packet named on wiki.vg?

[remote swallow]

from what i remember, if you define those variables in there you would need some way to get them out

[twilit roost]

via grep.app I found everyone is only using it like this

[vocal cloud]

You can declare it and fill it on one line 😭

[twilit roost]

riight
I hoped I wouldn't have to write static before every variable
would look little bit nicer

thx for your help

[wet breach]

hopper.setCooldown(8); // Delay hopper checks

shouldn't this use the move_item_speed that is set ?

generally should avoid hard set numbers if it isn't needed

Erm, I didn't make any changes to that?

well if it was just because the line moved, it would have showed red for the same thing, with also green of the same thing but it doesn't

I will show you an example

-                        ItemStack itemstack1 = addItem(iinventory, iinventory1, iinventory.removeItem(i, 1), enumdirection);
+                        // ItemStack itemstack1 = addItem(iinventory, iinventory1, iinventory.removeItem(i, 1), enumdirection);

notice on the left, one is a minus the other is a plus

[slow oyster]

Well it shows up because the line numbers changed

[wet breach]

as I said if that was only the case I should see an equal match for removal

so the above what was changed is that it was commented out

[slow oyster]

Yeah I know, lines 159 to 185 are the new changes I made

[wet breach]

Anyways if you didn't change it, that is fine, just odd I don't see an equal removal is all

[remote swallow]

ah

[slow oyster]

Yeah I just added a TestPlugin.java to the CB PR

[wet breach]

added my comment to your pr for implementation, didn't see the need to make two separate comments so its just on the implementation side

hopefully someone else will review it and maybe then it will get approved 😄

always love new additions to the API

[slow oyster]

Thanks, yep will save me 100's of lines of code trying to do this using InventoryMoveItemEvent in my plugin too 😄

[wet breach]

almost makes me want to do my big pr for bungee and spigot

[remote swallow]

what of

[slow oyster]

Will also save me a ton of headaches as Paper optimised all the Hopper code so it behaves completely different on Spigot vs Paper 😄

[wet breach]

unix sockets

starting with java 17, java natively supports unix sockets

[remote swallow]

how would you explain unix sockets to an idiot

[wet breach]

this is good, and the pr I want to do is addition an option to use unix socket with bungee if the mc servers are also on the same host

this will improve network and overall make them secure

if they are on the same host

far less overhead in using unix sockets instead of TCP between bungee and mc servers

[wet breach]

do you not know unix sockets?

[remote swallow]

sadly not

[wet breach]

unix sockets makes use of a file descriptor to utilize as a connection

so instead of going through the network card or the upper network layers, it is all handled at the OS level

this removes overhead in opening a socket and the sorts as well as improves the speed at which the data flows

[remote swallow]

that actually seems really useful

[wet breach]

the only thing people may have a problem with would be specifying the location of the unix socket file for bungee

but as long as the wiki gets updated it shouldn't be too much of a problem

also, unix sockets are not accessible outside of the host so naturally they are more secure

and thus no need to worry about firewall rules or ensuring you are using 127.0.0.1

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14973942/tcp-loopback-connection-vs-unix-domain-socket-performance

[tardy delta]

whats a file descriptor lol

[wet breach]

In Unix and Unix-like computer operating systems, a file descriptor is a process-unique identifier for a file or other input/output resource, such as a pipe or network socket.

[tardy delta]

hmm

[remote swallow]

i wonder how many people have thought "that would be useful in the spigotapi" and then didnt pr it

[wet breach]

not sure, but for a long time Java didn't support unix sockets natively

it wasn't until Java 17

we could have done unix sockets long time ago, but software implementation of unix sockets isn't as performant as a native solution

also, unix sockets on windows is handled and created differently then on unix

so even more helpful to have that native solution to handle that issue

starting with windows 10 Insider Build 17063 unix sockets became natively supported 🙂

so windows didn't always support such things either

but here is another thing though

If allowed, I could pr where there could be 2 unix sockets

one for the mc bungee communication and another for plugin communications

would be super handy lol

[tall dragon]

ughhhh as soon as i even hover my mouse over the class "Material" my intire ide freezes and forces me to stop the task from the task manager does any1 know why this could be happening?

even when i try to comment out code using the material class my ide freezes

i dont get it

[echo granite]

Anyone here knows why MythicLib requires java 16 to compile(using maven) while the plugin runs on mc 1.14?

[remote swallow]

what ide

[tall dragon]

intellij

[echo granite]

Your pc sucks man

[tall dragon]

like i legit cannot code anymore. this started happening out of nowhere

[remote swallow]

thats weird

[tall dragon]

my pc is plenty powerfull enough

[remote swallow]

you maxing disc or ram out or something

[tall dragon]

cpu is at 100%

[echo granite]

same thing happened to me in my i3 old pc

[tall dragon]

but it never used to happen

[echo granite]

couldn't open the material enum

[tall dragon]

it handled Material class just fine

and now it just freezes even when i try to delete code that uses Material

so i cant even remove it

[remote swallow]

have you by chance recently updated to 2022.4

[tall dragon]

no

[tardy delta]

double shift and download sources might help

so it doesnt have to decompile every time

had that issue too

[tall dragon]

dont think that works if ur using from BuildTools

[tardy delta]

uh if it comes from a dependency ur fine

[wet breach]

idk if IntelliJ finally allows it, but see if you can change the resource requirements for intelliJ? or see if you can use additional JVM arguments and use something similar like what you would for mc server

netbeans lets me do this, not sure if IntelliJ finally did

otherwise the only way to make intelliJ use such things is to modify the global Java options stuff from control panel

another thing to try is to close out projects you are no longer doing anything with

[tall dragon]

yea like change how much ram it uses?

[wet breach]

as well as the GC stuff

I normally give my IDE 4GB to use

since I tend to have a lot of opened projects usually

[tall dragon]

it lets me edit this

[tardy delta]

8 gigs max brr

[tall dragon]

my ide has 8gb available

[remote swallow]

how did you get a dark mode task manager

[wet breach]

add some VM options for the GC stuff

[tall dragon]

it doesnt even use it all

[wet breach]

it is most likely the GC that is killing your IDE

give the GC some extra threads to work with

[tall dragon]

no idea how tbh

[wet breach]

let me go find the vm option for it

by default GC gets 1 thread to use

[kind hatch]

What are you on? There is no 2022.4. The latest release is 2022.3

[wet breach]

it should have 4 threads if you can allow it

[tall dragon]

@wet breach the weird thing is. its only freezing in one project

another project opens material class in under a second

[wet breach]

-XX:ParallelGCThreads=4

[remote swallow]

oh yeah, forgot

[kind hatch]

Could it be long project path names?

[remote swallow]

it made me update to 2022.2.4 a lot so i probably just thought it off that

[tall dragon]

could it be some dependency problem?

[wet breach]

-XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled +PerfDisableSharedMem

and then add those

the last one in that may or may not cause problems

[tall dragon]

then it looks like this

that correct?

[wet breach]

not sure if they can be all on one line or it IntelliJ expects it on multiple lines

but try it out 🙂

[remote swallow]

i wonder if giving ij more threads would make it run somewhat smoother

[wet breach]

it should for the GC

[tall dragon]

😄

[wet breach]

I added another option

[orchid gazelle]

Eh normally it just should give it to the JVM directly, and JVM Standard allows the argument format

[remote swallow]

why are you still on 2022.1 lmao

[wet breach]

might need the unlock experimental option

[tall dragon]

well this is fun

now i cannot launch my ide and idk where that jvm file is

[wet breach]

it tells you above

in that pic

[tall dragon]

its not there tho

[wet breach]

oh

well then time to use some google fu

https://tenor.com/view/google-fu-keanu-i-know-google-fu-gif-18590077

[tall dragon]

its in bin so i found that

but it doesnt look like what i left it at. at all

[wet breach]

IDE_HOME\bin\<product>[bits][.exe].vmoptions

[remote swallow]

if its using that one it cant handle the 750mb of ram

doesnt have enough

[wet breach]

make a copy of this file, then try modifying this file instead

Please note that custom .vmoptions file created using 'Edit Custom VM Options' action has the priority over the original file in the bin directory.

[tall dragon]

well where is that one

[wet breach]

try looking in your user directory

[wet breach]

%APPDATA%\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2022.2

[tall dragon]

ya i found it

[wet breach]

and it appears the options have to specified one per line

instead of all on one line lmao

[tall dragon]

yea put em all one a line

and it launches now

[wet breach]

it should perform a bit better now 🙂

[remote swallow]

im just gonna rob them rq and see if i can make ij run smoother

[wet breach]

Anyways try setting in that options as well

for xms to be the same

if anything you probably could use almost everything from aikar flags

could even set the -Server flag as well in the beginning

[tall dragon]

well damn the Material class opened without problems

[wet breach]

[tall dragon]

though i did comment out all my dependencies

so could still be a problem in there

somehow

[wet breach]

try it without them commented out

worse case is your IDE freezes again lmao

[tall dragon]

well yea its still opening fine right now

never mind

whenever i interact with this class specifically it freezes

though this time it did recover from the freeze

so i think those vm options really did help

thanks a ton @wet breach been pulling my hairs for 2 days over this

[remote swallow]

update ij as well, might be an outdated version thing

[echo granite]

Just saying you can use the Tag class provided by Spigot

[tall dragon]

not if ur stuck in 1.8

[remote swallow]

oh god

[tall dragon]

yea thats one of the first things i tried

[unkempt hare]

Is there a method that will automatically replace hex codes with the proper color (i.e. &#ffffff would turn text white)? I would have thought translateAlternateColorCodes would have done the job but it doesn't

[chrome beacon]

If you want to use legacy colors the format would be &x&f&f&f&f&f&f

[unkempt hare]

Oh god

[tardy delta]

that will be able to replace colors like #fffff

[last sleet]

Hello, I'm wondering how can I check which slot I,m hovering over?

I'm currently in an InventoryClickEvent, and I'm detecting when a player presses a number key (hotbar swap), but I want to know which item it will swap with

[quaint mantle]

How would I go about making a page system for an inventory.

Lets say each page has 3*7 slots

[remote swallow]

iirc there is a cursor location so you check that

now something doesnt add up there

a row has 9 slots not 7 lol

[quaint mantle]

i used 7 because the outsides will be boardered by stained glass

technically its 5*9 but the slots used will be 3*7

[remote swallow]

ah

[quaint mantle]

anyways: do you have a video i could watch or some sort of help w/ that

couldnt find anything on google and my attempts had failed

[last sleet]

how would I go about doing that?

[remote swallow]

most youtube tutorials are awful so it would be best to check peoples githubs for there libs and if they have page guis

[last sleet]

Oh, nvm, I just learned that hotbar swapping also triggers an inventory click event. I'm guessing I can use e.getSlot() to get it

[remote swallow]

didntknow that

[unkempt hare]

If you're looking for a library suggestion I've used https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/if-inventory-framework.57216/ in the past and it's pretty good

[last sleet]

Hotbar swapping with an empty slot triggers the event, but swapping with a slot that isn't air doesn't. Minecraft is weridly coded

[quaint mantle]

i dont REALLY want a library
i just want a way to create a.. lets say a multipage backpack

ill give an example of how it should look

[robust ferry]

Can I please have help in #help-server please

[summer scroll]

It depends, do you want maximize the page, or it will go unlimited pages?

[quaint mantle]

unlimited based on the number of items available

so if there is only X amount of items then there is X pages available to browse thru said items

[unkempt hare]

Well if you're trying to do it manually then the general idea is to create a 2d array of itemstacks where each page has it's own array with arrays of rows. When a page is changed you go to the element of the page in the first array, and loop through it to get all of the items

[quaint mantle]

mixed paper and the arrows but you get the idea

[quaint mantle]

so basically

array 1 would look like:
[1] = item
so on til the last slot

and the array number = the page

correct?

[summer scroll]

What I do is I put all of the items in a single list and then paginate them, and have a Map to determine what items that this page have, but If you care about what slots the item is put before, use ItemStack arrays.

[quaint mantle]

i see

[unkempt hare]

Yes

[quaint mantle]

ic

[unkempt hare]

Although I would recommend using a library since all of the hard work is already done for you, but that's obviously up to you

[quaint mantle]

Can you confirm a yml file to a hashmap

like lets say i want to convert this:

Test:
    A: 1
    B: 2

[unkempt hare]

You can turn a yml file into an entire class if you do it right (and vise versa)

[quaint mantle]

into a hashmap of String: Integer

[quaint mantle]

huh

[eternal oxide]

When a yml file is loaded it's Hashmap backed

[quaint mantle]

oh damn really?

so then i assume i can do

[eternal oxide]

yes, .getValues(true) I believe returns a map of a MemorySection

or something close to that

[quaint mantle]

okay but

inst.getData().get("%s/Crates").getValues(true)

I know this doesnt work, but something similar to this

%s is what i used for string.format to add the uniqueid

[eternal oxide]

not /

[quaint mantle]

?

[eternal oxide]

a path uses . not / as a divisor

[quaint mantle]

/ has always worked for me

for some reason

ive used it for months with 0 issue

[remote swallow]

are you setting the divisor to that somewhere

[quaint mantle]

uhh

lettme check

@remote swallow where would you chance this?

in the pom, plugin o

*or

[remote swallow]

code

something like config.options().pathSeparator('char')

[quaint mantle]

nope

[eternal oxide]

I guess it accepts / too. Never seen that as everyone uses the default .

[remote swallow]

yeah

[quaint mantle]

huh

i didnt know . was a default

i just assumed / because of windows cmd lol

PlayerData inst = PlayerData.getInstance();

HashMap<String, Integer> hash = new HashMap<String, Integer>(){{
    put("CommonCrate", 0);
    put("RareCrate", 0);
    put("LegendaryCrate", 0);
}};
inst.getData().set(String.format("%s/Crates", event.getPlayer().getUniqueId()), hash);

So then this should work fine correct?

yaml player data

i can read it

fine

[last sleet]

How can I check if an item can take damage (has durability)

[eternal oxide]

instanceof Damageable (make sure you use the correct import)

[last sleet]

There are multiple ones?

Because I tried with instanceof Damageable and it didn't work

[eternal oxide]

two

[last sleet]

I assume this is not the good one

[eternal oxide]

thats for itemstacks

[last sleet]

It's in the meta subcategory though

which one is the good one?

[eternal oxide]

depends what "item" you are testing

the other is for Entities

[last sleet]

just regular itemstacks

but it tells me sticks and arrows are instanceof Damageables

[unkempt hare]

You're telling me you've never broken a stick before?

[last sleet]

;-;

test code + console output

it doesn't get any more cursed than this

[unkempt hare]

I believe all item meta is damageable even if it doesn't actually use it

[last sleet]

ah.

then what should I use to check if it can take durability

A guy made a whole list of damageable manually, but I think there's a more elegant solution lol

[unkempt hare]

I think you have to do something with the Material but I am checking

Material has getMaxDurability()

[last sleet]

I'll see what it returns when it can't take damage

[hazy parrot]

do you want to ckeck if item is repairable ?

in that case, there is Repairable interface

so you can check instanceof that

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/Repairable.html

[last sleet]

found that getMaxDurability returns 0 when it's not damageable, so should be good

[rugged leaf]

how would you increment the scoreboard value of a player? Anything I try to look up about scoreboards just talk about the getting the sidebar to do fancy things

[kind hatch]

Can anyone help me with mysql database design. I have the data I want to store, but I don't think I'm doing a great job organizing it effectively. At least the way I'm currently storing it is to prevent one table from storing a massive amount of columns.

[wet breach]

use foreign keys

foreign keys match the primary key of another table, this helps link tables together efficiently that have data that is to be used together

[kind hatch]

Right now I have some tables setup like this. I don't think they have foreign key relations atm, but I just access the table I need anyways. Is this better than storing all of this data in one table? Or should I be taking this approach?

[wispy flicker]

Hey guys
Came back to my plugin after about a week break.
Im new to packet editing and sending . could i get some help with it?
Im struggling a bit because im trying to follow guides and not getting far enough. can someone walk me through making an itemstack for an entity and help me fix a bit of my broken code

[worldly ingot]

A db admin would tell you to have a table to associate player UUIDs with an auto incrementing integer that you can foreign key

Then any reference to a player can just be done via that foreign key instead. Saves you a little bit of data because an int is much smaller than a 36 CHAR

[wispy flicker]

with protocol lib

[kind hatch]

Interesting. I thought it wouldn't matter since the datatype UUID basically gets converted down to binary info. Which is really small as is. Unless I misunderstood how that works. (I may be thinking of another data type)

Also, I'm trying to keep this compatible with SQLite as much as possible, but I think I'm going to have to change my implementation to just have different queries for each db.

[worldly ingot]

You will almost certainly have to do that

And yeah, the UUID type is usually pretty fast, but the tables you showed are using VARCHAR(36)

Which, I mean at the very least, make use of a CHAR(36) ;p It's never going to be variable

I think the UUID type specifically is also relatively modern

[kind hatch]

Hmm, well if you couldn't tell, I worked on the SQLite implementation first. xD
I swear, the more I learn about MySQL the more I find so much more can be done with it.

[worldly ingot]

Oh actually, UUID doesn't exist in MySQL. It's MariaDB exclusive

[next plume]

The more I learn about SQL, the more I hate it.

[kind hatch]

Oh, well I'm using maria anyways since it seems to be a bit better than standard mysql, so that wouldn't be an issue.

At least I think I am

[worldly ingot]

It's a superset of MySQL iirc, created by some maintainers of MySQL

Most people are running MariaDB now-a-days anyways

[kind hatch]

Ah, I am not.

Fk me

[wet breach]

You can take this approach. But if these tables are all related then using foreign keys would be beneficial as it will help speed up lookups for relevant data

[kind hatch]

I think I kinda understand, but also don't. The way I do things now is just by the table lookup. So if I needed something from the indicators table, I would specify that table. I don't do any joins or whatnot.

[next plume]

Most hosts provide a MySQL database.

[wet breach]

It would reduce the amount of queries.

You could grab data from all 3 tables with a single query using a foreign key

In this manner it is faster and more efficient and more easily cacheable

[wet breach]

Mariadb is like a continuation of mysql. The old devs that created and maintained mysql left and made mariadb

[worldly ingot]

LEFT JOIN

[wet breach]

They left because they were not being allowed to do the things that were needed for mysql cause you know oracle likes to be that way lol

[remote swallow]

i should check mariadb out

[wet breach]

It is a lot better. And it's compatible with the mysql driver however mariadb driver is recommended

Maybe we can convince MD to swap the driver out that spigot provides since it is a pain to load mariadb one if mysql is on the path

About the only nuisance in terms of plugins go

[spare marsh]

is there a way to get an inventory instance and check for its title? With reflection or something?... Without events

[wet breach]

Inventory should have a method for getting the title?

And you don't need events to grab inventories

[spare marsh]

The inventory object itself doesn't have a method to get the title I think. I have looked for it

[kind hatch]

I'm still wondering if I would actually need foreign keys or a table join when I'm just accessing each value individually. My impl right now has a method for each piece of data. (Probably not the best, but it is what it is) I think there is maybe one thing that would actually take advantage of multiple pieces of data from a single query, but for the most part, it's kept very simple.

[kind hatch]

That's cause that method was moved to the InventoryView object.

[spare marsh]

Which I can get from InventoryClickEvent... But I want to get it without catching the event

[wet breach]

For small set of data you really won't notice a difference. Once your data set gets to be larger where you are doing tens of thousands of queries then you will most likely see the benefits

Because the benefits with using foreign keys is a combination of query caching and less queries which you probably are fine without either of those

[kind hatch]

I mean, query caching sounds great, but would that not happen with a normal query that's sent multiple times? Like, when I call one of my methods, lets say #wantsCommandSounds(). It'll use the query SELECT command_sounds FROM preferences_sounds WHERE uuid=?; I'm being very explicit with what I want because it's the only thing I need. Would this query not be cached? Or am I still not understanding something here?

[wet breach]

Yes and no.

So yes it would cache queries but no because you doing two separate table lookups. So mysql has no way of knowing the two tables and queries are related

[remote swallow]

from what ive found online from a quick google, is there no repos for direct maria db or am i just blind

[wet breach]

https://github.com/MariaDB/server

[kind hatch]

Do those count as two separate tables? I thought the columns names counted as part of the table lookup.

[wet breach]

https://mariadb.org/download/

You can select at bottom for which distro

[wet breach]

Columns are in a single table

You have 3 tables all of which have a primary key

[kind hatch]

Right

[wet breach]

You could on two tables replace primary key with foreign key and specify the primary key to use for it the first table

You wouldn't need to drastically change anything presently to make use of foreign key either. But your setup as it is now. Is perfect for it

You can continue to keep your queries the same. Just when you need data from all 3, it makes it easier to grab it all

[kind hatch]

That's the thing. I don't access more than one column name at a time. So I'm not sure if it would make a major difference.
SELECT command_sounds FROM preferences_sounds WHERE uuid=?
vs
SELECT * FROM preferences WHERE uuid=?

If I understand correctly and I went with your suggestion, would I just need to change the queries to the second one? That way I can grab whatever I want? Or would I just leave them like the first one and some benefits show up in the background?

[wet breach]

You can leave them like the first. Just when you want data from the other tables you could query on foreign key instead

Recommend reading on foreign keys. Recommend setting it up and not really need it then to try and set it up later but all your data needs reorganizing to benefit from it.

As I said, right now your setup is perfect to setup foreign keys

And you have the tables properly organized too

Not many people manage to have it like you do lol

[remote swallow]

maria db is still confusing me so ill try and figure it out when ive slept

[kind hatch]

I felt like I struggled with that. lol

[wet breach]

It's mysql with improvements

[kind hatch]

I just didn't want everything in one large table.

However, I didn't know if that was good practice or not

[wet breach]

And you shouldn't that would be a bad db design

So what you are doing is good and should be a habit you do

For mysql dbs that is or relational dbs

Other db types benefit from the opposite lol

[river oracle]

see I'm glad to know that. I always was scared of large SQL database because i thought the tables would get unbearably big glad to know its encouraged to split them up

i just imagine a super big excell sheet with random information that has nothing in common besides the key

[wet breach]

Well if it's just one db and table then there is no relational in that. It's not called a relational db if it wasn't designed to have multiple tables lol

[river oracle]

what does relational data even entail

[wet breach]

Means data from one spot relates to another

[river oracle]

isn't that just basic key -> value structure though

key relates to value

I feel stupid lol thats def not it

[wet breach]

So the design above that shadow has is a perfect example. All 3 tables relate to each other. But the data is far enough apart they can be in their own tables

[kind hatch]

Kinda feels like it though. More like a linked list though.

[wet breach]

Easiest way to setup a db is to make them pie graphs that overlap

[kind hatch]

You mean the ones that you can click a section and you get another subdivided section?

[wet breach]

The ones I am talking about is 2 or 3 circles and they overlap in the middle

[kind hatch]

A Venn diagram?

[wet breach]

If you use that and start plugging data you want stored into it. You can see which data relates to what and setup a db accordingly

[wet breach]

Yes couldn't think of the name lol

[river oracle]

lets say you store data under a player UUID wouldn't all data relate back to that player UUID in some form or another so you could justify putting it in one table since all of that data relates to certain things about the player?

i feel like that'd be shitty design just pointing something stpuid my brain thought of

[wet breach]

Well you could store data for entities in which case those uuids don't point to a player

Or maybe you are storing block info

Which points to no uuid

[wet breach]

This is where foreign keys come in. You can separate the data that relates but not exactly but are linked together

[river oracle]

so it'd be logical to have a table like
Player (primary key), join_sound, home_position, last_death_location, money

[wet breach]

Yes but let's take for example home position

[river oracle]

idk I rather have a table

table 1
UUID (primary key), join_sound, leave_sound
table 2
UUID (primary key), home_location, last_death_location
table 3
UUID (primary key), money

[wet breach]

Home position could be multiple points and therefore could have its own table but linked by the uuid to better store more points instead of putting them all in a single column

[river oracle]

this may be completely illogical, but it seems much more neat and clear than the jumbled mess of a massive table

[wet breach]

It is easier grabbing data by row then it is parsing a single column as well as mysql can more efficiently store such data

But your setup above would be logical

Because now you can grab player money without having to grab all the other data. But you can still grab the other data if need be

[river oracle]

I don't know much about sql statements

but wait could you do something like

[kind hatch]

Wait, so in my setup, would it just be as simple changing the primary keys to foreign keys that point back to the preferences table? I wouldn't actually have to remove that column?

[river oracle]

GET * FROM table1,table2 WHERE playeruuid = ?

[wet breach]

Have to remember data will be returned for a query. The more data in a table and row the more data returned and you might not need it all. Also more data for mysql to parse.

[wet breach]

Yeah you could do that

[kind hatch]

See, that's what I was trying to get at. If I add foreign keys to these tables, would I not be grabbing all of those tables at once with my explicit queries?

[wet breach]

Yes you could do this

[river oracle]

ahhh okay thats dope

[wet breach]

No, you would need to add the table to the query. Y2K has it perfect

[kind hatch]

So the benefits are really just more on the backend?

[wet breach]

Yes and frontend too. But you already took care of that from the start

[kind hatch]

Oh, so I would still need to join the tables if I wanted to "merge" the data into one resultset.

[wet breach]

Yes.

[river oracle]

look at me learning SQL for the first time 🥳 now I should actually use it outside of school lol

[wet breach]

Lol

[river oracle]

I don't ever have good plugin ideas I feel like making though I just start something and than abandon it

[wet breach]

I think part of the reason you have a hard time seeing the benefit is because you already started out with a good db design.

Which as I said most people don't do

Thus harder to see or realize the benefits of this one other thing lol

[river oracle]

good job shadow good DB design 👏🏽 can't relate

[kind hatch]

:3

[wet breach]

I think once you get the hang of foreign keys and joins the next thing to learn would probably be when to use myisam over innodb

[kind hatch]

Idk, when I was in college they were teaching us Microsoft SQL and I wanted to end myself. What they had us make just confused the hell out of me. So when I started researching normal mysql, things started making a little more sense. However, I think it's mainly because I don't understand how it all fits together.

Organizing data together is complicated since you can categorize it multiple ways. Then based off those categorizations, you have different setups to get the maximum benefit out of it. I'm trying to find that out as well as understand how the backend works.

[wet breach]

Yeah Ms SQL is weird

Never really bothered with it myself so don't feel bad about that lmao

And you are right data can be organized in different ways and essentially that is what makes or breaks a db design

Because in the beginning it could have been good until you started adding more and now that original design is no longer good

But this is normal and your db design should change as needed and not attempt to make it all work as that is where it will start to go all wrong lol

[kind hatch]

Right, and I figured at one point that may happen, but I'm kind of reaching my creative limit with this plugin anyways, so it's unlikely that I will have much to change in the future.

[remote swallow]

what would be the better way to store data that is a uuid, location and a material and just an int, would it be better to make a table to each uuid been as there stands an infinite amount of locations that can be stored for that, or do i just store it in 1 table with uuid as the primary key

on sqllite or maria db

[river oracle]

whether you use sqlite or maria db depends more on scale I guess

[wet breach]

SQLite does alright with small to medium datasets as it is just plain binary file storage. After a certain limit SQLite starts to suffer

[remote swallow]

thats my problem, ive got no idea how big data could get

[river oracle]

offer multiple options. for owners. One for small/mediumscale one for larger scale

[wet breach]

With this I would probably put material and location in a separate table as I assume they relate to blocks. Not sure what the int is

[remote swallow]

int is just money value

actually that should be a double

[wet breach]

So you should have player data in one table and block data in another and you either use uuid to identify them both or use some other unique identifier.

[remote swallow]

mkay

which is better for storing uuids, byte array or a char(36)

[wet breach]

However not all data needs to relate either.

[wet breach]

It won't make a difference between bytearray or char but you need varchar for uuids unless you plan to strip out the dashes

[remote swallow]

im just planning atm so idk which i would do, ive got bytearray code already so ill probably end up using that

[kind hatch]

I guess I should mention that there are two other tables. These only really store statistical data, but I don't believe they would have a relation to the other tables..

[river oracle]

what program is this just curious

[kind hatch]

IntelliJ

[remote swallow]

ultimate?

[kind hatch]

Yes

Student edition baby

[wet breach]

The bytes will be stored as a string in mysql unless you are using blob and don't recommend using blob unless you really need to

[river oracle]

damn :( imagine not using vscode (That SQL database layout looks nice in intellij)

[remote swallow]

what ill probably end up doing is just making it work with sqllite then figure out how to support mysql into that

[wet breach]

SQLite and mysql both use SQL there is some minor differences in the SQL queries and types. Major difference comes in connection and performance

[kind hatch]

I blame the entirety of spigot for my dependence on JetBrains tools. I will likely also be using Fleet instead of VSCode.

[wet breach]

SQLite is nice for small things also SQLite can't be used to share data as only a single process can have a lock on a SQLite db file

[remote swallow]

what ill end up doing for now is

playerdata
--UUID (byteArray)
--int (to relate to other table)
blockdata
--int
--location with however many collums it needs, i dont remember
--material
--double money value

[wet breach]

Unless you make some kind of api of course to share that data but then might as well use mysql as it will do such things more optimally lol

[kind hatch]

Would I be correct in assuming this @wet breach

[kind hatch]

Have you seen the new UI? It's clean AF

[wet breach]

Why does hugs data have a uuid?

[river oracle]

yeah I just don't feel like changing all of the hotkeys lol

thats hours of work I'm not prepared to do

[kind hatch]

Ignore that. I know It needs to be an integer.

[wet breach]

Just fyi. Mysql allows creating a function to pull that data automatically

[kind hatch]

None of the hotkeys changed. Just the UI.

[river oracle]

have you considered

I use VSCode

and custom hotkeys I bound myself

[kind hatch]

Oh right

lmao

I forgor

[wet breach]

So you can create a function then create a script ran daily to fill db in

[remote swallow]

last thing, would it be better to create playerdata on join, if it doesnt exist, or do i create playerdata on the creation of the data for blockdata

[river oracle]

my hotkeys are based off of eclipse hotkeys, but thats a minescule amount of the work

I can use my entire IDE without the mouse most of the time now

[kind hatch]

@river oracle Also

Visual Studio is on that list. 😛

[kind hatch]

I was not aware.

[river oracle]

I use like a clongomerate of VSCode defaults Eclipse defaults and my custom binds

[kind hatch]

Can SQLite also do this?

[remote swallow]

wonder if vsc has an export keymap and you could just import into ij

[river oracle]

I don't think so last time I checked they only take in eclipse and netbeans

[wet breach]

No because there is no server for SQLite just your application. I mean in a way you could but pointless since only one thing can access the db file

[remote swallow]

im guessing for this create the playerdata when the first blockdata for that player is needed, also to keep data down to the minimum i can

[wet breach]

With mysql you can make a function and then a script that runs daily or hourly to invoke the function which then populates that table and that table could best be memory only

[kind hatch]

I see. If you couldn't tell, I'm working on multiple db integration into the plugin, so I'm trying to see what's available. Flat files were one thing, now actual DBs are another. .-.

[river oracle]

what? whats a database? I just store all my data in a piece of bedrock hovering above spawn with alex's Block PDC lib

[wet breach]

Lol

[remote swallow]

i store all my data in yaml files

[river oracle]

hopefully no one breaks the piece of bedrock that would be chatastrophic

[remote swallow]

if its item stacks i keep 3 copies of it and b64

[remote swallow]

just store it all across y-64

every block gets atleast 10 copies of it

[wet breach]

Yeah mysql functions are awesome. You can setup entire queries as a single function. Then you can just invoke the function from application instead of a big query

[kind hatch]

Not me using my bedrock breaking exploits because it's blocking my build area.

[wet breach]

But there is some nifty commands mysql comes with built in. Like you can do math with mysql and other things

So like I said with your hugs data, if it's all data combines just make a function to call some mysql commands and then have it insert into that table. Table benefits from being memory only because you don't actually need to save that data to disk as it already is

Data gets rebuilt anyways if table is lost every so often

Just make sure you include in your function the presence of the table and if not there recreate it

[kind hatch]

Hmm, I wonder how that would affect my current implementation. That would take some load off of the server startup. I guess I could leave some of the interface specific methods blank then.

[wet breach]

All you would need is a timer to invoke the function

And then pull the data into application lol

[kind hatch]

Oh, not that. I'm talking about my database interface class.

[wet breach]

Oh

[kind hatch]

The way I have it now is to increment the number every time a hug is given. So in the case of mysql, I could just leave it blank.

[wet breach]

You can make dynamic functions too where you plug the info in that it needs

So like if the queries are always the same but only difference is like uuid you can turn that entire query into a function call instead

[kind hatch]

Wait what?

Why is there so much that can be done with mysql? :3

[wet breach]

You can even do comparisons in a query or function too

[last sleet]

I'm trying to hide the enchantments on an item (to replace them with my custom lore), but it won't work even with HIDE_ENCHANTS flag

[wet breach]

Which is handy for some math related things lol

[last sleet]

any ideas why?

[kind hatch]

Lmao, I've gotta learn the foreign keys first, but geez. I can only imagine how much performance I can squeeze out of mysql alone.

[wet breach]

Yeah when I first learned about mysql doing functions I was like man why am I messing with all these queries then lmao

Since most of the time my queries are relatively the same. Also you can setup functions from a query too

So they don't have to be setup before hand

[kind hatch]

I thought this was going to be easy. Smh

[wet breach]

?paste probably best if you showed your code

[undone axle]

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

[last sleet]

I accidentally closed MC and now it's stuck on downloading update?

anyways

[kind hatch]

You need to add an item flag to the item meta.
ItemMeta#addItemFlags(ItemFlag flag)
The flag you want is ItemFlag.HIDE_ENCHANTS.

[last sleet]

this just takes enchantments and puts them in blue on the item. It works (in minecraft) but the enchantments are nto hidden

rest of the code

(in which I do actually add the flag)

[remote swallow]

are you setting the meta, then setting the meta again

[last sleet]

made a quick command to give me flags and lore, and it seems the book does have hide enchants

[wet breach]

Are you sure it's being added and not like overwritten?

[remote swallow]

because that code looks like you are setting the hide_enchants flag then are setting the lore on a different item meta

[last sleet]

yeah it was for testing (originally it was in the syncItem function)

[last sleet]

It's the same

Actually, I think I just figured it out: perhaps HIDE_ENCHANTS does not work on EnchantmentStorageMeta (for books)

I'll go check if there's a flag for that

[wet breach]

Add some debug code to output the metadata

Or that could be it

[remote swallow]

from what i remember enchantment books have lore for the enchant

[kind hatch]

Actually, I think they use the Potion Effects attribute for some reason.

[last sleet]

they don't; the command would have showed it

[kind hatch]

Try using the ItemFlag.HIDE_POTION_EFFECTS flag on the item as well.

[remote swallow]

try this, add the potion effect flag and see if it hides it

[wet breach]

It is easy. Just functions start making it easier lol

[kind hatch]

lmao

[last sleet]

yeah, it is that

weird stuff...

[remote swallow]

mojank

[kind hatch]

Yea, don't know why it's like that, but I had the same reaction.

[last sleet]

mojunk 😢

[wet breach]

Actually makes sense

[kind hatch]

Potion effects on books?

[wet breach]

Yep

[kind hatch]

How?

[wet breach]

Because enchant books and potions share similar nbt data and structure unlike the tool items

Have to remember some of these features are after thoughts lol

[kind hatch]

Fair, but they could have separated them for better consistency.
HIDE_TOOL_ATTRIBUTES vs HIDE_ITEM_ATTRIBUTES

[wet breach]

True

[kind hatch]

Then the catch all HIDE_ATTRIBUTES would handle both and keep legacy support somewhat in tact.

[wet breach]

But internally the code for book enchants in regards to fetching nbt data is probably the same for potions hence not changing the nbt flag name to something that makes sense. But yeah they could have done better but lately seems they haven't been able to

[kind hatch]

Wdym as of lately?

They've been doing decent QOL in the snapshots.

[wet breach]

Well they were forced to add that reporting feature. I am sure that wasn't mojangs idea. And if Mojang could have they probably would have made certain things better but probably didn't have time

[kind hatch]

Yea, I agree. They did fix some stuff revolving around it in the snapshots. Lemme see if I can find what specifically because it sounded decent enough to maybe not be overly skeptical about using 1.19.3 regularly.

Oh right. They only changed things revolving around the chat trust status indicator in the first snapshot. Then they fixed some exploit that the community was using in a future snapshot.

[wet breach]

Still doesn't resolve the moderation portion

[kind hatch]

True

[wet breach]

So all of this is not really relevant as long as forced moderation exists or attempted anyways as the community is going to make those features not relevant

Like cool I guess the client is notified but not sure who is actually going to care

[kind hatch]

That's why I'm going to stick with modded launchers from now on. Gotta have that NoChatReports mod installed at all times.

[wet breach]

Well for servers you don't control. But like not necessary if servers disable chat reporting anyways lol

I think Mojang would have better reception of the feature of it had an opt out setting

[kind hatch]

Quite literally what everyone was asking for, but they ignored it.

[wet breach]

Or maybe if there was a banner servers could sport by having that feature enabled like valve servers and their anticheat

[kind hatch]

Is it not something you can get from the query port?

[wet breach]

If you had the anticheat disabled for valve servers you couldn't be considered official

So Mojang could have done something similar for mc servers if they chose to have that feature enabled

But they would need some added other benefits for it too. Like for example maybe server owners could be allowed closer contact with support in cases where chat involved their server

Like I mean as long as the moderators for a server took care of it already and show proof to Mojang not like Mojang needs to do anything further. I would say this system works best for servers that choose to do nothing

While I understand server owners not liking Mojang stepping in, at the same time server owners should be following the rules they agreed to as well

But as long as they are, Mojang shouldn't need to step in so I could see a system where closer contact with support being the middle ground here

[kind hatch]

There are so many things they could have done during that whole debacle, but they caused another rift in the community. Fortunately, the community always comes up with a solution and at least we got an option to disable part of it for servers. However, it is extremely annoying that we have to download a mod so that we don't get banned for no justifiable reason.

[wet breach]

Well again it's something Microsoft probably forced on them and probably did it at less then ideal times giving Mojang no time to really do much

However they could though fix the system to be better especially for server owners

I also understand Microsoft's side too. Maybe I should email them in a better way to fix this

[kind hatch]

I'm of the same belief, but deadlines can always be pushed back. Thankfully their first implementation was so bad that it made it easy for the community to find ways around it.

[wet breach]

Because I think what Microsoft is trying to do is enforce servers being more kid friendly just don't understand there is a better way

Like they could make a service like said to be so called verified for server owners to participate in. And if they meet all the guidelines, they can sport a banner for being kid friendly or whatever else

In this manner it makes it easier for parents to decide for their kids what servers they can be allowed on

Also would make it easier to incorporate a system to only show such servers if an account is designated for kid friendly too

And I wouldn't mind paying into such service either

So that's an added revenue source for Mojang and Microsoft as well

See unlike everyone else, I can see the business aspect of such things and unfortunately not everything can be free lol

Plenty of servers have been allowed to freely make money all the while some ignoring the rules

This is just Microsoft pushing back just doing so in less then favorable ways. The system I proposed above would probably not have received as much backlash all the while accomplishing what they are wanting

[round finch]

Age restrictied servers?

Or kid friendly servers for kids

[wet breach]

I wouldn't say age restricted. Just content restricted to being kid friendly as well as the server following all or most of the guidelines set out.

Like not being a scam server for example lol

[round finch]

Ban scam owners

[wet breach]

Easier said then done with current system. System I propose above would automatically do that

Without having to really put much effort

[round finch]

Yeah verification servers would be great
Approved for safety

[kind hatch]

Yea, but when you look at the situation. They probably wanted to make it kid friendly, but they did it the cheapest way possible. As per every corporate business decision ever.

They wouldn't shell out the money for a system like that.

[wet breach]

True, doesn't mean they are always smart or couldn't see where they could have added a revenue stream

That extra revenue stream would pay to have staff visit verified servers or check out servers that applied for verification

[round finch]

Easier to feck everyone else over

[wet breach]

In this manner everyone wins because it's not forced

But all sever owners would want that verified tag

[round finch]

Plus making kids ask parents to spend more money

I bet next is mine coin to java

Total greed

[wet breach]

I think I will email Mojang about my idea

[round finch]

Server tags would be great 👍

[wet breach]

Who knows maybe they may change it to that. But won't know unless I try

[round finch]

Not sure if they care about older players

[wet breach]

Never said anything about older players

[round finch]

Just the way they act

Everything is now kid and family friendly in chat

[wet breach]

My idea is to fit what Microsoft is most likely trying to accomplish and Mojang for a while.

[round finch]

I want to use mods for private chat

[wet breach]

Their game and Microsoft's service is geared towards kids and parents. Older players can still do what they want just not in places designated kid friendly.
