[eager flax]

fixed it

sorry 🤦‍♂️

[quiet ice]

does not compute

[zinc egret]

getPlayerGroups(player)
                .map(g -> new Group(this.config, g))
                .sorted(Comparator.comparingInt(Group::getPriority))
                .forEach(
                        group -> group.isWhitelist() ? commands.addAll(group.getCommands()) : commands.removeAll(group.getCommands())
                );

@compact haven you mentioned ternary operators, i thought i'd give it a try

unfortanetely...

[quiet ice]

Wrap it up in arg -> { <code goes here> }

[compact haven]

^ that's because addAll and removeAll actually return a boolean

and the type is Consumer<Group, Void> or smth similar

[quiet ice]

Just Consumer<Group>

[zinc egret]

yeah, i just didnt know how to fix it

[compact haven]

it can't be a consumer<void>

sorry mb, Function<Group, Void>

or Supplier<Group>

whatever the fuck it is

[quiet ice]

You confused the heck out of me

[compact haven]

LMAO

[vale ember]

its Consumer<Group>

[quiet ice]

Supplier takes in no args and returns the type

[zinc egret]

not a statement

[compact haven]

yeah I know, I realized after I sent it

[quiet ice]

Consumer takes in the arg and returns void

[zinc egret]

should i assign it to smth?

[compact haven]

https://emote.land/emojis/PandaPopcorn.png

[vale ember]

semicolon

[compact haven]

I know the functional interfaces lol

ty tho

[compact haven]

uhm

oh you can't use ternary like that

[vale ember]

f*ck java

[compact haven]

ternary is an expression, it should be returning something

yeah just don't use ternary in this case my friend

but anyways, what is the whole stream?

honestly no point in using streams if u have it like that

try and engineer it to be 1 whole stream

[zinc egret]

thats impossible unless there are functions i havent heard of before

and couldnt find

[compact haven]

walk me through the logical process

[crude loom]

I'm using this method to send a message to a player using ChatComponent API but the API generates a line break between every chat component, how do I cancel it?

 //Sends a message to the player using ChatComponent API
    public static void stringToTextComp(String message,Player recipient){
        ComponentBuilder builder = new ComponentBuilder();
        String[] split = message.split("%");
        for(String s : split){
            if(s.length() == 0) continue;
            TextComponent text = new TextComponent(s.substring(1));
            text.setColor(fromCodeToChatColor(s.charAt(0)));
            text.setClickEvent(new ClickEvent(ClickEvent.Action.RUN_COMMAND,"/helloworld2"));
            builder.append(text);
        }
        for(BaseComponent textComponent : builder.create())
            recipient.spigot().sendMessage(textComponent);

    }

[zinc egret]

        Set<String> commands = new HashSet<>();
        getPlayerGroups(player)
                .map(g -> new Group(this.config, g)) // cast it to a `Group`, contains fields (name, priority, isWhitelist, commands)
                .sorted(Comparator.comparingInt(Group::getPriority)) // sorts all the groups based on their priority
                .forEach( // loop over the groups, if isWhitelist, add the functions, if not isWhitelist remove them
                        group -> {
                            if (group.isWhitelist()) {
                                commands.addAll(group.getCommands());
                            } else {
                                commands.removeAll(group.getCommands());
                            }
                        }
                );

i need a second set to manipulate, rather than the stream

unless i can do it recursively maybe lol

idk

[compact haven]

comments unnecessary but do need the other stream

[zinc egret]

the plugin im reading the config from, allowes blacklists, whitelists and a priority for each group (so if someone has two or more groups which collide, like one group blacklists the command, but the other one whitelists it, then the priority is taken into consideration)

[compact haven]

well from the code in the ss

it seems commands is used not

like you manipulate it but the returning stream doesn't use it

[zinc egret]

ohh yeahh

because i was still editing it

it should be return comands; at the end

dammit

i forgot to edit it before the build

[eager flax]

how would I check if an item equals this item ItemStack sword = ItemStack unranked = new ItemStack(Material.IRON_SWORD);
ItemMeta unrankedItemMeta = unranked.getItemMeta();
unrankedItemMeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.RED + "Unranked Queue");
unranked.setItemMeta(unrankedItemMeta);

[vale ember]

item1.equals(item2)

if you wanna ignore their amount then isSimilar

[tall dragon]

#isSimilar would be better, applying a pdc tag is even better

[quaint mantle]

Im trying to add org.apache.commons.net.ftp.* to my Eclipse project, and I see what I can add it in plugin.yml under libraries but not sure exactly how to put it there? Does anyone know I can add it in?

[compact haven]

yeah I sure tried @zinc egret, there's no way I can think of to make it 1 stream

even with bullshitting some of the functions not meant for it, u cant because a stream is an Iterator internally, and no method allows you to backtrack

[last bolt]

I've made a few of my classes ConfigurationSerializable but when I save them to the default config, my classes are being prefixed in the file with :== my.package.my.Class . Is there any way to stop that happening? They load in fine without that annotation.

[remote swallow]

without it the config doesnt know how to deserialize it

[tawdry parcel]

but you have to pay for citizens right? :C

[remote swallow]

nah

[zinc egret]

yep

[remote swallow]

https://ci.citizensnpcs.co/job/citizens2/

[last bolt]

As I say, without the annotation, my class loads from the config just fine.

[tawdry parcel]

is that legal?

[remote swallow]

its probably some jank (craft)bukkit internal

[remote swallow]

its from citizens

its their jenkins

[tawdry parcel]

oh lol but why is it on spigot so expensive

[remote swallow]

fuck knows

[tawdry parcel]

ok thank you

[topaz cape]

bump

[chrome beacon]

You pay for support

[zinc egret]

if i pass YamlConfiguration into one of my commands and then use reloadConfig from another command, it doesnt update the YamlConfiguration i passed to the other command

what should i do?

pass plugin to the original command, make a reloader config function in the original command class, etc...?

[hazy parrot]

Objects in java are passed by reference, so if you reload configuration you passed trough Di or smth, it will be reloaded

[zinc egret]

maybe it doesnt work bcz it got cast or smth?

[chrome beacon]

Reloading it would create a new YamlConfig from the file

[chrome beacon]

You can pass the plugin instance instead

and use getConfig on that

[zinc egret]

alright 👍 thanks

[deft wadi]

what event should I be listening for when a player tries to open a smoker?

[remote swallow]

interact event

[deft wadi]

ahh makes sense thanks

[frank kettle]

check if the action is right_click_block also

🤔 wait, what if they use the smoker in the hand

[remote swallow]

they can only right click it as a block

[deft wadi]

good thought, hmmm I will cross that bridge when I come to it

[spice shoal]

guys how i can stop death screen?

[pseudo hazel]

stop in what way

[spice shoal]

on death event

[chrome beacon]

Call the respawn method

Make sure to delay it by a tick

[spice shoal]

how much tick?

[torpid blaze]

Hey,
I have a small problem. I made myself a custom ShopItem and ShopItemList class to handle the Items I save in a YML file for my shop Plugin. In the ShopItemList I have an ArrayList I always refresh from the file when calling the constructor.

I thought can now use it and when showing the items an in inventory I change the lore of the items so the price is shown and because I call the constructor nothing is going to be saved until I call the save() Method which I am not calling when just displaying the items.

A a CommandListener I want to be able to add new Items. So when I enter a command, it calls the Constructor and saves it to a variable. Now it adds the Item the admin has in his Hand with a add() method and than calling the save() method to save it to the file.

But now the Problem. When opening the display inventory before adding a new item, to all before added items the lore.

What am I making wrong?

[pseudo hazel]

1 tick

[spice shoal]

thx

[chrome beacon]

If you're on 1.15+ you can use the doImmediateRespawn gamerule

[spice shoal]

oh pretty nice

thx

[pseudo hazel]

can you reword your problem, I can hardly read the sentence. Do you mean you need to add items to the inventory before displaying it?

[torpid blaze]

ok, 😄

I have a costum List Handler with some methods to edit the list like add, get, remove, save(). When creating a new Instance of the Handler the List is newly gotten from a yml file. when calling the save() method, it is saved to the file.

Not when the player enters a command I will create a new Instance of the Handler and show him the Items. To display some data I add a lore to the item meta. But this List is not going to be saved.

When the Admin enteres a command, a new Instance of the Handler is created and the item he has in his main hand is added to the list and after that I call the save() function.

But now when I look into the file, the lore I added when viewing the items in the inverntory is save eventhough the lists have nothing to do with eachother.

[crude loom]

How do I get the code of a ChatColor?

I assume spigot formats it as something like : ChatColor.BLUE +Hello World = %bHello world, how do I get that '%b'?

[torpid blaze]

maybe ChatColor.GREEN.toString()

or getChar()

[pseudo hazel]

you use toSTring yes

it will return the '§' + code character

[crude loom]

getChar will? or toString?

[pseudo hazel]

ChatColor.toString()

assuming you are using bungee version of ChatColor I guess

probably bukkits version too

[crude loom]

I see, it's very hard to debug since it doesn't show in chat, is there a way to print the string as color code+text instead of the actual colored text?

[torpid blaze]

System.out.println() would work

[zinc egret]

it doesnt seem to like that i am passing a string to that function

[remote swallow]

dont get how you manage that one

when the method is made for a string

[pseudo hazel]

xD

[torpid blaze]

any Idea?

[remote swallow]

you didnt listen to what you were told

[crude loom]

lol

[remote swallow]

Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin

[pseudo hazel]

yes, I would just save the material names and save/load teh actual items that way

[crude loom]

sometimes code does very weird things xD

[zinc egret]

thanks 🙏

[zinc egret]

well i didnt get told about the Bukkit.getPluginManager part (i had never heard of it)

[echo basalt]

sometimes you tell your computer to run the wrong calls and assume it's just weird

[pseudo hazel]

shouldnt you already know your plugin name in your own plugin class 🤔

or have the plugin instance

namely this

[torpid blaze]

I did that before but now I want to save the whole ItemStack with alle the data with it.

[pseudo hazel]

well then it will also save the additional lore you added

is that what you want?

[tardy delta]

i said PluginManager#getPlugin

[pseudo hazel]

if not what other data do you mean

[zinc egret]

yes and i actually tried PluginManager#getPlugin(name) thinking it was just something i just hadnt heard of before, but you just meant call getPlugin on an instance of PluginManager

[tardy delta]

thats javadocs notation

[tender shard]

almost

it would be String instead of name 😛

[tardy delta]

im only reading parts of the messages people sent me

[torpid blaze]

no, It does it but I don't want it to. I don't even know why it is doing it. It seams like one ArrayList in the Handle is shared between multiple Instances of it. I don't want this ether.

I also don't know why he is event saving the lore to the list because I also never want this to happen. everything is broken

[tardy delta]

what will happen when it reaches 24

ig it will go to 25

[pseudo hazel]

I think so

can you show the code for showing and saving the items?

[torpid blaze]

yea, I will ?pase it here

[pseudo hazel]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[pseudo hazel]

yes

[torpid blaze]

yea xD

[tardy flame]

How to achieve something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfhMvNNBzKE

These aren't maps

[torpid blaze]

ShopItem:
https://paste.md-5.net/quhiwuruze.cpp
ShopItemList:
https://paste.md-5.net/jirehuhupo.java

[tardy flame]

It's also not resource pack and vanilla only

[pseudo hazel]

how do you know they arent maps

[frank kettle]

How do you know it's not maps?

[tardy flame]

They aren't having this animation

[frank kettle]

The panel is exactly like maps are

Even the size

[tardy flame]

When you break them

[crude loom]

I'm using String.split to try and split a String containing ChatColor like so:
String[] split = message.split("\\?");
Why am I getting [?aHello World ?eYellow World] (length=1)
On the input : ChatColor.GREEN+"Hello World "+ChatColor.YELLOW+"Yellow World"

[tardy flame]

They also don't hide when you look in other direction

[pseudo hazel]

well you are seriliazing the whole itemStack so it will also save any lore at that point

[pseudo hazel]

what animation

[frank kettle]

Maybe there's a setting in Minecraft to keep them on?

[tardy flame]

I don't think so

It's vanilla

[tardy flame]

Particles when you break map

[remote swallow]

those are maps

[frank kettle]

when he's using shaders so he has optifine.

[torpid blaze]

maybe because it is not spliting

[frank kettle]

so im asking if maybe there's an option for maps

[tardy flame]

Even if it's he is not using it

[torpid blaze]

you try to split at a \ but maybe there is no \

[tardy flame]

I atleast think so

[crude loom]

Yeah it's not, but why?

[torpid blaze]

yea, but I never save the lore to the array of ShopItems

[tender shard]

where do the question marks come from? o0

if you use ChatColor toString, it would use § and not ?

[crude loom]

Its the code of the ChatColor

[tender shard]

ChatColor doesn't use question marks

it uses the section sign §

[crude loom]

Oh what

[pseudo hazel]

where do the double // come from

[tender shard]

to escape the question mark operator

[tardy flame]

It works on vanilla

[tender shard]

you should just split by §

[tardy flame]

And these aren't maps

[pseudo hazel]

oh I didnt know strings had a ? operator xD

[tardy flame]

The guy killed all entities

[tender shard]

strings don't, that's regex

[tender shard]

String#split(String) takes a regular expression as argument

[pseudo hazel]

oh right java splits on regex oof

nvm me then

[crude loom]

Oh that works, thanks !!
Why did it print question marks though ? 🤔

[tender shard]

np! probably your terminal couldnt display UTF8 characters

[crude loom]

I just used system.out.println

[quiet ice]

I am unfamilliar with any way of doing this that doesn't involve maps @tardy flame

[crude loom]

Ahhh

[pseudo hazel]

or mods

[quiet ice]

It is possible that this plugin is just very, very clever, but I highly doubt so

[topaz cape]

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

Hello PEOPLE, This code is what I use to change what a player looks like into an entity and it has been working nicely in OW
but going to the nether it seems to not work? This is executed on PlayerChangedWorldEvent to refresh both players in Nether and the Player joining Nether and if the disguised player walks in Nether first then refreshed when someone joins him it doesn't work. but it does work when the disguised players joins after other players join. is there any logical explination for this?

[tardy flame]

It's not even plugin

[torpid blaze]

@tender shard Hey again. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?

[tardy flame]

Friend of mine did it

[quiet ice]

What would it be then?

[tardy flame]

And they wrote this in skript

And they say it is a Minecraft feature from 1.8+

That's in the game

Using some packets

[quiet ice]

Oh then it is likely maps

[torpid blaze]

A Datapack?

[tardy flame]

It's not

Nope

Clear vanilla

[pseudo hazel]

can you show code of when you are showing teh inventory to the player? and the add mthod you talked about

[frank kettle]

send server ip

[tardy flame]

They are using shaders for showcase

[quiet ice]

Just that the maps are a bit different than what you are familiar with

[tardy flame]

Not public yet

[torpid blaze]

ok

[chrome beacon]

That looks like maps

[quiet ice]

Shaders were not a thing in 1.8

At least not in vanilla

[tardy flame]

He said that this block is just a normal block

So I assume they render something on them

But it can't be map

[quiet ice]

You can overlay a map on it even if the server is not familiar with it

[chrome beacon]

Why not?

[quiet ice]

Clientside entities are a thing

[pseudo hazel]

why dont you just ask them how it works lol

[tardy flame]

They don't want to share it

They said that it's not used anywhere else

[pseudo hazel]

so then you are just playing a guessing game?

[tardy flame]

Yeah

[pseudo hazel]

okay

sounds like client side maps

perhaps

[tardy flame]

Could you use them like that?

[quiet ice]

Drawing stuff on maps without direct protocol access is a death sentence

They defo use maps but do the entire drawing pipeline themselves.

[tardy flame]

Clear vanilla ^

[quiet ice]

Fun fact: this is the reason LWJGL is an optional dependency for minestom

[pseudo hazel]

are the blocks any thicker than the other ones

[tardy flame]

Yeah!!

The text is like

[quiet ice]

Then 100% maps

[tardy flame]

Pixel before

[tardy delta]

i wanted to run minestom and then i realized i got exams

[pseudo hazel]

so its maps

[tardy flame]

But it's not maps

[torpid blaze]

@pseudo hazel

ShopItem:

how is it not maps

[quiet ice]

It's fake maps

[tardy flame]

I have no idea

[tardy flame]

Wdym?

[quiet ice]

The maps are not on the server

But are simply sent directly into the netty pipeline

Only the client and plugin knows about them

[torpid blaze]

remove the datapack from the world and try if it is still working

[tardy flame]

There is no data pack sire

[quiet ice]

The datapack wouldn't be able to do anything

[topaz cape]

bump #1063929625056661524

[quiet ice]

And maps were changed in 1.8 to be more useful, so it explains his 1.8+ constraint

[tardy flame]

He still says that it doesn't use any maps

[quiet ice]

Any other feature such as shaders would require post-1.14 features

[quiet ice]

Then he is lying

[frank kettle]

yeah he can be just lying to advertise something that doesn't exist

wait till he opens server and u can look at it yourself

[tardy flame]

Yeah I will

[tardy delta]

whats the point of that ShopItemList class?

[pseudo hazel]

since you are adding the item from the players hand into the shoplist, it will copy all the items data, including lore

[torpid blaze]

just to manage the List

makeing it easier

[torpid blaze]

WAIT, you are right but I thought I had no Items with lore in my hand. Where are thy from ?

[tardy delta]

why not using a List<ShopItem> then?

[torpid blaze]

because I need it in much more classes so it is easier

I need it in multiple commands and Listender classes

[pseudo hazel]

a list of shopitems instead of a shoplist isnt gonna fix the issue

anyways, where is the lore being used

[tardy delta]

probablt want a Map<ItemStack, ShopItem> then, dunno itemStack::equals impl is good but whatever

[pseudo hazel]

is there like an inventory gui or what

[echo basalt]

those are so fun to code

[torpid blaze]

I display the items in a inventory gui yes

[echo basalt]

those map things

there are all kinds of optimizations you can do

[pseudo hazel]

can you show the code for adding those items to the gui, since thats also where you would need to get them from

[tardy delta]

arent you better off with storing a pdc tag in the items itemmeta and then using that to retrieve the ShopItem?

[torpid blaze]

the code where I add the lore is in the paste

the rest is opening an closing the inventory

and the showing is not the problem but saving+

now it is working but I still don't know how the items with the lore came in my inventory at the same slots as I had the other before

[pseudo hazel]

well yes but you say thats the only source of the lore these itemstacks must actually be the ones that get saved at some point

wait its fixed?

[torpid blaze]

I think so

I had the Items with the lore in my inventory and I didn't notise

I have no idea how they did get there

so I always safed them with the lore from ly hand xD

[pseudo hazel]

lol

[torpid blaze]

yes xD

[pseudo hazel]

you probably at one point forgot to lock the items in the inventory you shown

by like not cancelling inventory events

[tardy flame]

Does client map have witdh?

[torpid blaze]

ne, it is a admin view so the item should be given to the admin when clicking on it. but there is still the bug that the lore is given too. But I did never click on an item I think

[frank kettle]

he's not showing it working in that pic tho

[quiet ice]

as in what?

[pseudo hazel]

a client map still shows just the model of a 3d map model in the game

[tardy flame]

As the normal map if you look it from an angle you will see that it's bigger than block it's placed in

And on this map you don't see it

Or whatever this is

But it surely doesn't look like map

[frank kettle]

he's not showing it working there tho

[atomic swift]

why doesnt OfflinePlayer have hasPermission

[limpid bloom]

so in my plugin i am setting a block with this code
loc.getBlock().setType(oakLeaves, b);

Context:
Location loc , gotten when method that code is in is called
Material oakLeaves = Material.OAK_LEAVES
boolean b = false

problem is that i am setting the applyPhysics option to false so it doesn't update observers ..... problem is that it's still doing it and i have no clue why

most events have an iscancelled method with a boolean return

[torpid blaze]

The real problem is that the item in my inventory is replaced with the ine with the lore when opening the inventory gui, I don't know how this happened but this was all. xD

[limpid bloom]

just went to check an event and it didn't have it, werid

[frank kettle]

why do u need to set it as false?

[limpid bloom]

so that the block won't update an observer and other stuff around it

[pseudo hazel]

how does your ShopItemCreator work?

[crude loom]

How do I create a list of type net.md_5.bungee.api.chat.hover.content?

[pseudo hazel]

List<Content>

?

idk what class is in there

[crude loom]

I mean how do I create the object itself sorry

[wise pumice]

Any NameTag API?? without nametagedit?

[crude loom]

thats the javadocs https://ci.md-5.net/job/BungeeCord/ws/chat/target/apidocs/net/md_5/bungee/api/chat/hover/content/Content.html

But I can't figure out how to do this

[pseudo hazel]

instance one of its subclasses

i.e. Entity, Text, etc

since its abstract you cant directly instance it unless you make an anonymous or actual class

[crude loom]

Ahhh I see, how did you get it's subclasses?

[pseudo hazel]

its on the docs

[crude loom]

Oh I see it in the docs, nevermind !

Thanks !

[dry yacht]

If that's actually a map, it makes use of some orthographic projection to create this feeling of depth. This would be possible, but I don't know whether you can get it to look as good as the game does. It's still a 128x128 canvas. You could tile multiple of them together to create something similar tho.

[echo basalt]

making teh itemframe invisible makes the map have a razor-thin border

it's basically just a 2d image

[snow compass]

I try to find out if it client limit, bug in spigot api or how i use it. The problem:

Seams you can't do #undiscoverRecipe() and then #discoverRecipe() that combo only works when player join server not when he is on the server.

The problem is it remove the recipes fine, but when it shall force player to learn it not work so long he is online on the server (it bug out) and if you make the recipe without help of the green book it never get added to the book.

And when google on anything recipe relented, seams like all hate the custom recipe system (no info anywhere). I have try on 1.19.3 and i think this "bug" will persist for long time (seams no one care about fix the recipe api in bukkit/spigot). If that not are intended behaviour.

[pulsar parcel]

Thanks

[river oracle]

I like how I've been using spigot API for 2 almost 2 years now and still have no clue wtf period and delay mean in the Schedulers so I just brute force the numbers until I get the desired result

[remote swallow]

its in ticks

for runTaskLater its the delay before it runs

20 ticks = 1 second

[river oracle]

yeah I know that

[remote swallow]

runTaskTimer, the delay is before it runs, the period is how often it runs

[river oracle]

okay 🙏🏽 bless

Hi everybody guys, is possible to block blocks breaking from tnt explosion but keep damage from those?

Sincerely i would do something like that with every type of explosion but i don't know if is possible

[stiff knot]

Hey I'm looking for a specific piece of lore in some ItemMeta but I'm not sure how to do it without causing a NullPointerException, any help?

public void onRightClick(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        List<String> lore = p.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getItemMeta().getLore();
        if (lore == null) { return; }
        p.sendMessage(lore.get(0));
}

[robust zenith]

try with lore.isEmpty

or equals lore.lenght < 0

[chrome beacon]

ItemMeta is null if the item is air

[stiff knot]

I'm only looking for a right click with a specific item, not just any item

[chrome beacon]

So check if it has item meta before using it

[tardy delta]

item can be null, meta can be null

check event#getAction

[robust zenith]

do a check for the item and check if item in main hand is AIR and return

[chrome beacon]

Better to check if the item has item meta

[stiff knot]

This is the part causing errors so I'm not sure checking it after would really help

[chrome beacon]

Why would you check it after

Do it before...

[tardy delta]

1am moment

[stiff knot]

aaauu

[tardy delta]

id better go to bed instead of this nonsense

[stiff knot]

it is infact nearly 1am

i'll try it hold on lmfao

[tardy delta]

the docs are your answer to everything

[stiff knot]

yeah i couldn't find as much info as i needed about this lol

idk maybe i'm just being dumb

[chrome beacon]

Same, Good Night

[tardy delta]

gn man

[stiff knot]

😭

[tardy delta]

? check if it has a meta and a lore

[slate coral]

I fully agree, this should easily work

Can’t cause a null pointer if this is checked before

[stiff knot]

thats what im tryna check in that line?

[tardy delta]

im outta here

[remote swallow]

the meta stands a chance to be null

[tender shard]

no, thats you

[remote swallow]

if (!item.hasItemMeta() || item.getItemMeta().getLore().isEmpty()) return;

[river oracle]

What

No I'm miles you're Alex

[tender shard]

oh ok

[chrome beacon]

Use hasLore

[stiff knot]

thats a method?

[remote swallow]

thats a method?

[chrome beacon]

Yes

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/ItemMeta.html#hasLore()

[remote swallow]

i should know that

because ive probably used it

[stiff knot]

well it is but it still causes the same problem

[remote swallow]

ignore it

ij isnt very smart

[pseudo hazel]

"ah yes, my boolean function will return null"

[stiff knot]

last time it said it may produce null errors, it did

but

idk i'll test it

[remote swallow]

if you have the null item meta null check first you wont get it

[pseudo hazel]

I think the error is actually talking about the item meta

[stiff knot]

if (!i.hasItemMeta() && i.getItemMeta().hasLore()) return;

[remote swallow]

you need to invert the 2nd

[stiff knot]

oh yeah woops

[pseudo hazel]

if i doesnt have item meta it will fail teh second check doesnt it?

[chrome beacon]

Or should be or

Not and

[remote swallow]

that

i was just about to say

[stiff knot]

ah right

[pseudo hazel]

okay that makes more sense

[remote swallow]

its too late for our brains to brain

[rotund ravine]

meh it's fine

[stiff knot]

it's still throwing warnings at me but i'll test it anyway

[rotund ravine]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10195568/java-evaluation

[remote swallow]

intellij isnt smart

[pseudo hazel]

and ij probably complains because you dont explicitly check for if the itemmeta is null , but using teh hasItemMeta is good enough

[remote swallow]

it doesnt know that your checking the thing that you use next

[stiff knot]

yeah it worked

thanks

i only asked because i've had this same issue before and i'm pretty sure my previous "solution" was a try catch block 💀

[narrow sphinx]

Trying to emlulate slow falling but with a boots enchantment, I'm using this code to slow the fall however it also impedes natural horizontal movement. Any suggestions how to improve it?

Vector v = e.getPlayer().getVelocity();
if (v.getY() < -0.3) {
v.setY(-0.3);
e.getPlayer().setVelocity(v);
}

[pseudo hazel]

why not apply slow falling when the player has the boots on

[remote swallow]

you can hide the icon iirc

[pseudo hazel]

and the particles

[narrow sphinx]

It felt cheaty I don't know how to hide the effect

[pseudo hazel]

imo this feels more cheaty

i dont remember how to hide the effect but im sure there was a way

[stiff knot]

theres no such thing as cheaty, but thats definitely a much more janky way of doing it

[remote swallow]

create the effect with https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/potion/PotionEffect.html#<init>(org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffectType,int,int,boolean,boolean,boolean)

then just apply it to the player

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

[worldly ingot]

I'm shocked your IDE even suggested importing those

[green tapir]

im using onCommand and it suggested importing it

[rotund ravine]

IJ suggests them at the buttom if at all

i used intellij

[rotund ravine]

it's telling u that u are not putting @urban grotto on them not to import stuff

[worldly ingot]

Your command should work fine. The unused imports you have can be removed. If you have to import anything from sun.*, you're probably doing something wrong

[faint pumice]

Hey guys, i always used breakNaturally() method without any problems, but today i was trying to use it with a pressure plate and it didn't work, setType() also didn't work. The objective of the code is to create an explosion after steping on the pressure plate, and that part is working, but after that the pressure plate just stays floating in the air (really don't know how), that's why i'm trying to force it to break or set the type to AIR... The code is super simple:

@EventHandler
public void test(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
    Block block = event.getClickedBlock()
    if(block.getType().equals(MATERIAL.STONE_PRESSURE_PLATE // and some other conditions) {
        block.breakNaturally()
        // do some other stuff, create explosion
    }
}

[rotund ravine]

What happens if u right click it afterwards.

it does that by default.

[faint pumice]

Sorry, i didn't think it was relevant, since everything is working except for the breakNaturally part, i'll get the full code

[faint pumice]

nothing

[rotund ravine]

send a pic of it floating

I also need some reassurance that you actually make it to that statament.

[faint pumice]

I'm sure because the explosion part of the code is just after the breakNaturally method call

[rotund ravine]

Idk, try waiting a tick

[faint pumice]

The logic is inverted on my code, but it behaves the same way. Also i tried putting the breakNaturally method after the explosion but it had no difference

@EventHandler
    public void onStepOnPressurePlate(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        Block block = event.getClickedBlock();
        if(!event.getAction().equals(Action.PHYSICAL) || !event.hasBlock()
                || !block.getType().equals(Material.STONE_PRESSURE_PLATE)
                || !block.getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN).getType().equals(Material.GRAVEL)
        ) {
            return;
        }

        block.breakNaturally();
        block.getLocation().getWorld().createExplosion(block.getLocation(), EXPLOSION_POWER);
    }

[rotund ravine]

You tried a tick after?

[faint pumice]

with the bukkit scheduler?

[rotund ravine]

yeah

[faint pumice]

does it make any difference? I'm not a java dev i really don't know

[buoyant viper]

oh god not this again

[buoyant viper]

not particularly, unless you override the default equals method i believe

[rotund ravine]

It doesn't really, but it's a good habit.

[buoyant viper]

^

[rotund ravine]

Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, 
        () -> {
                block.breakNaturally();
                block.getLocation().getWorld().createExplosion(block.getLocation(), EXPLOSION_POWER);
        }, delayInTicks);

[faint pumice]

Good to know ty

[faint pumice]

That worked! thanks a lot guys

Why did i need to wait this 1 tick for it to work?

🤨

[rotund ravine]

events happen before it the action sometimes it's weird.

[faint pumice]

lol now i don't even need the breakNaturally, the explosion is now breaking the pressure plate

[buoyant viper]

IntelliJ fucks up every now and then

its not not often i get suggested sun classes or even the completely wrong String class

[pulsar parcel]

I have little problem with HoverEvent. My code is this:
TextComponent message = new TextComponent(ChatColor.GREEN + "[" + "JAJ" + "]");
message.setHoverEvent(new HoverEvent(HoverEvent.Action.SHOW_TEXT, new ComponentBuilder("Tohle je nějakej text").create()));

                linkedAdvancement.put(PlayersAll, advancementName);
                PlayersAll.sendMessage(prefix + ChatColor.YELLOW + ChatColor.BOLD + "Tvůj advancement je: " + message);

And I am getting result on the picture.

Player#spigot is what?

I used Player.sendMessage(component);

ok

I will try it

[south skiff]

Hey. I am spawning a chest with a custom name and want to add items to it.
Somehow this isn't working, can someone help me with it?

        Block chestBlockLocation = chestLocation.getBlock();

        chestBlockLocation.setType(Material.CHEST);

        Chest chest = (Chest) chestBlockLocation.getState();
        chest.customName(Component.text("§cMeteorite"));

        locBlock.set(blockX, y2, blockZ).getBlock().setType(chest.getBlock().getType());

        chest.getBlockInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.STONE, 1));
        chest.getBlockInventory().setItem(2, new ItemStack(Material.STICK, 1));

        chest.update();```

No errors, but there isn't a item in the chest :o

[pulsar parcel]

One more question, how can I connect two Text components together in one message? Because + doesn't work

ok

[buoyant viper]

using paper api but still doing colors the old way 😭

[south skiff]

What exactly do you mean? :D

[buoyant viper]

not even

the Adventure components have styling and coloring methods

with like NamedTextColor

[south skiff]

What do you mean with that? ^^

Oh I see. It's a function that places blocks, everything works fine, only the items are not going in the chest ^^
I can send you the whole method code, if you want :)

exactly yes

It's spawning, with the name and where I want it, but no items :o

Yeah, it's really messy, but I will update it :D

It's just so I get an rough idea how I want it to look xD

[rotund ravine]

ew

[stone dust]

Whats the best way to make blocks invisible for a single player, temporarily?

I know i can use sendBlockChange, and store all the blocks, but that seems really inefficent, and doesnt feel ideal.

All ideas are appreciated :)

[rotund ravine]

That's ideal.

[rotund ravine]

It is ideal tho

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#sendBlockChanges(java.util.Collection,boolean)

[south skiff]

Oh wow, thank you ^^

didn't knew that I wouldn't need it, don't even know where I got that line of code from :D

        chest.customName(Component.text("Meteorite", TextColor.fromHexString("#FF5555")));
        chest.update();

        locBlock.set(blockX, y2, blockZ).getBlock().setType(chest.getBlock().getType());

        chest.getBlockInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.STONE, 1));
        chest.getBlockInventory().setItem(15, new ItemStack(Material.STICK, 1));```
Now it's working :D
Are those Components also used in spigot or is this a paper only thing? ^^

[buoyant viper]

theyre part of paper through Adventure api

spigot has its own components but theyre not as integrated with the api yet like paper iirc

[south skiff]

Ah okay good to know, thank you! ^^

[river oracle]

choco has gotten a lot done though 🥳 for progress

[south skiff]

Sorry got another completely different question :D
When creating a custom minecraft item, with a custom texture and I want to use CustomModelData what Item is the best choice to use for that. CustomModelData works only on usable items right? So like a carrot on a stick for example or is there a better item to use for it?

[river oracle]

you can use CustomModelData on any item

[worldly ingot]

I keep meaning to finish it

[river oracle]

I want to eventually pr changing inventory titles

[south skiff]

Oh wow really?
Didn't knew that, the last time I used it or the thing that was before it is a long time ago.
Then I should take a look back into it :)

[thorny crypt]

We have an issue where we try to teleport two players to an Area, but when the teleport triggers, that server falls behind and eventually times out the player.
Any ideas?

player.teleport(team.getId() == 1 ? locationA.toBukkitLocation() : locationB.toBukkitLocation());```

[hazy parrot]

what is toBukkitLocation()?

[thorny crypt]

A custom location system

When we comment out that line, it works fine

[hazy parrot]

any errors ?

[thorny crypt]

No errors

[proven jay]

@hazy parrot, any ideas?

[hazy parrot]

🤷‍♂️

[tall dragon]

run a spark profiler to see whats going on i guess

[thorny crypt]

We've run a timings report on the server and that's how we got to narrowing down this command as the issue.

[tall dragon]

can i see the report ?

[proven jay]

Here it is (https://timings.spigotmc.org/?url=ugonulevor)

[tall dragon]

guessing the teleport line is inside onGameStart then ?

[proven jay]

Yes

[tall dragon]

yea, cant get much wiser from this. i think you guys will benefit from running a spark profiler

[proven jay]

Here it is (https://spark.lucko.me/5FmZ0tRQCX)

[tall dragon]

looks like its stuck loading the chunk

looks like ur making some sort of practise pvp plugin

you should probably load the chunks beforehand

[regal scaffold]

Hey! I need some help

How can I use PersistentDataStorage to store a list of strings and respective ints. I need to create a primitiveDataType but that's the part where I'm completely lost. I can't seem to wrap my head around how this works

[tall dragon]

well what have you got so far.

[regal scaffold]

I've gotten a fully functional code which allows me to store PersistentData with a string and a int

But only 1 element

Trying to scale to multiple strings and matching ints

[tall dragon]

so ur storing an object that contains a String and int?

and now u want to store a list of those?

[regal scaffold]

Yes, exactly

According to this https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-guide-to-1-14-persistentdataholder-api.371200/ I need to create a primitiveDataType to go with this

[tall dragon]

u can just create a custom persistent data type that takes an array of your object

[regal scaffold]

Currently I'm using the PersistentDataContainer.set() method which takes
set(NamespacedKey key, PersistentDataType<T,Z> type, Z value)

And i'm using PersistentDataType.STRING

but

[regal scaffold]

Hold on

Read this

I'm using 2 different keys, since it's only for a single item it's no issue.

example: I'm using string for the name and amount for the amount.

I don't mind using those 2 NameSpacedKeys but I need to be able to string String[] ( or similar ) and int[] ( or similar )

Ideally just use 1 key and contain a datatype which has <String[],int[]>

but that seems even harder

[tall dragon]

hmm let me write something up for you

[regal scaffold]

Don't put too much into it I like figuring things out this just seems to be way more advanced than what I know

Like I've been lost for hours

Appreciate it ❤️

[tall dragon]

yea. il just show you how u could do it

[wet breach]

you could make an object accept two arrays

not sure why that would be difficult

[tall dragon]

im guessing he wants a key - value thing tho

[regal scaffold]

Well for me it's quite hard at the moment. I'm just having trouble figuring out the PersistentDataType<>

I do want a key value

String - int

in a list

[tall dragon]

ya

[wet breach]

even if it had to be key value

still wouldn't be hard

you would use a key that would be easily to tell it belongs for another data

[regal scaffold]

Actually just thought about something now I need another field to add to that

Specifically a UUID field

Wait let me rephrase that

I need a UUID[] String[] and int[] for each

I started creating a class to then use as my data

[tall dragon]

you could also consider just using this cool lib my mfnalex https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/MorePersistentDataTypes

[regal scaffold]

Much rather learn to do it myself than use a lib

Although it seems insanely quick

[tall dragon]

fair

[regal scaffold]

I won't give up just yet

[tall dragon]

anyway. one way you can do it. is to create your own Persistent data type

public class SuperCoolPdcType implements PersistentDataType<byte[], SuperCoolObject[]>
{

    @NotNull
    @Override
    public Class<byte[]> getPrimitiveType() {
        return byte[].class;
    }

    @NotNull
    @Override
    public Class<SuperCoolObject[]> getComplexType() {
        return SuperCoolObject[].class;
    }

    @NotNull
    @Override
    public byte[] toPrimitive(@NotNull SuperCoolObject[] src, @NotNull PersistentDataAdapterContext pdac) {
        // convert to byte array
    }

    @NotNull
    @Override
    public SuperCoolObject[] fromPrimitive(@NotNull byte[] bytes, @NotNull PersistentDataAdapterContext pdac) {
        // convert byte array back to array of your custom object
    }
}

[regal scaffold]

Yes that's exactly what I'm doing rn

[tall dragon]

the obj being something like this

public class SuperCoolObject
{
    String string;
    int numba;

    public SuperCoolObject(String string, int numba) {
        this.string = string;
        this.numba = numba;
    }
}

[regal scaffold]

Ok so I'm on the right track

Give me 2 minutes if you can!

[tall dragon]

sure

[regal scaffold]

Wait real quick

Why not use String[] in the object?

And use it in the <byte[], SuperCoolObject[]>

[tall dragon]

i mean. u can but then ur storing an array of your object containing an array of strings

[regal scaffold]

Can I remove it from <byte[], SuperCoolObject[]>?

So I only store 1 object?

Or is that a bad idea

[tall dragon]

i mean. then u still dont achieve ur goal right?

[regal scaffold]

1 object with arrays of stuff inside

[tall dragon]

then u might as well just store a list of string and a seperate list of integers

[regal scaffold]

1 sec

public class ItemInformation {

    private List<String> itemName;

    private List<Integer> itemAmount;

    private List<UUID> playerUUID;

    public ItemInformation(String[] itemName, int[] itemAmount, UUID[] playerUUID) {
        this.itemName = new ArrayList<>();
        this.itemAmount = new ArrayList<>();
        this.playerUUID = new ArrayList<>();
    }```

implements PersistentDataType<byte[], ItemInformation>```

@tall dragon

[tall dragon]

uh. but i mean how do you know which amount belongs to which name

[regal scaffold]

That means I can access all 3 lists using just 1 namespacedKey no?

Alright so the way it's working is

wait I need to clarify this in my own head

I'm gonna draw

So confusing

Alright @tall dragon

Apologies for this

[tall dragon]

thats ok

[regal scaffold]

Don't blame the angle

I think the way I'm saying it would work

In this case the unique identifier for each object would be it's location since no 2 items can be at the same location at the same time

Right?

[tall dragon]

prolly better if you first tell me what ur even trying to create

[regal scaffold]

Infinite Storage of 1-9 unique items

If you wanna hop in a call I can show you what I've got so far

[tall dragon]

ok

[wet breach]

why do we need pdc?

[tall dragon]

hes storing those items in a "special chest"

[wet breach]

items?

So we got items, being stored in a special chest, got it so far

and what is the goal?

[tall dragon]

yea bassically hes making a plugin that can store up to 9 different items with unlimited amounts

inside a special chest

so for example 5k cobblestone

[river oracle]

store pdc on the items to make them infinitely stackable basically overriding the minecraft system seems like best way to do that

[tall dragon]

hes not tryna override the minecraft system tho

it should only stack like that inside the chest

[wet breach]

not sure if you are going to get the items to stack like that

[tall dragon]

he just has a menu to take like 64 items and some other options i believe

[wet breach]

oh so now there is a menu involved

[tall dragon]

😄

[river oracle]

how else would you do it? Overriding the mc stack system makes sense otherwise you get desync with client and server

with amounts above 64 ofc

[wet breach]

if we have a menu why we worrying about pdc again?

[tall dragon]

the point is hes tryna save a material with an amount

on the chest

[river oracle]

wouldn't it be best to serialize the ItemStack

[wet breach]

not really

[tall dragon]

not rlly.

the chest alrdy has the itemstack

[river oracle]

what if it has custom data

[wet breach]

best way is to just record overall amount and how much has left, subtract from amount being recorded

until it reaches 0

[river oracle]

can you add custom menus to chests? I've always serialized the contents of my custom menus

[wet breach]

probably?

but personally I wouldn't even use pdc for this though

[tall dragon]

i personally don't rlly like pdc for this kinda stuff either

i just use it to tag entities

[wet breach]

I am a very big fan of using DB's lol

mainly because I have to use one at some point anyways

therefore, why clutter my world files with a bunch of data when I can just use a DB

[tall dragon]

MongoDb baby

i hate sql based dbs with a passion

[wet breach]

also, I have been curious

[tall dragon]

mainly because i suck at writing sql

[wet breach]

if a plugin gets removed, does the server know to remove the relevant pdc the plugin created?

[tall dragon]

good question

no clue

i think it does not remove it tho

[wet breach]

another reason I wouldn't use it then or recommend it

[river oracle]

Frostalf I am making regenerating blocks, and when chunks unload I'm saving the data, rn I am saving the data to the pdc of the block using mfnalex's api, its just 2 long values time left and time saved, would you rec a DB.

[wet breach]

pdc of the block?

wouldn't you want it to be stored in the chunk?

[tall dragon]

alex made something that stores it in the chunk

automatically

[river oracle]

yeah its like a layer

[tall dragon]

but it only does that if the block type has no pdc or something

not sure

[river oracle]

blocks can't actually have pdc. I'm pretty sure the api just adds it to the chunk internally

[wet breach]

you can use pdc for this, but personally I would probably just have an nbt file for this that contained the relevant information for the block but I don't know enough of what you have going on. Are all blocks able to regenerate or just certain ones?

[river oracle]

just certain blocks from my plugin

NBT file?

I thought all pdc did was add to NBT data

[wet breach]

yeah, you can store an insane amount of information in an nbt file

a file that uses NBT

[tall dragon]

store it in binary

[wet breach]

that is what NBT is

unless you just mean in actual binary form

[river oracle]

hmmm how would I go about doing that / managing that? never used NBT files before

[wet breach]

Anyways, some years ago I helped someone create a creative control type plugin. It saved all the data of any blocks touched/modified by those in creative

anyways, the data was saved using NBT

using memory mapping, and about 1GB extra ram to load the file

we got it to load 10million blocks of information in about 6 seconds and it saved it in 3 second

[wet breach]

you would use something like JNBT and you would use MC's structure for NBT and save the data to your own file

similar to how worldedit uses nbt to create its schematic files

[river oracle]

would I make a wrapper for a block or something?

[tall dragon]

woulnt just storing a byte array be faster?

[river oracle]

I honestly don't even know much about MC's NBT structure

[regal scaffold]

I'm back haven't been reading

I see we're talking about my thing

[river oracle]

nope

[regal scaffold]

oh disregard then

Now I'm trying to serialize and deserialize

package me.tomisanhues2.deepstorage.utils;

[wet breach]

it would be about the same. The problem most encounter with say yaml and trying to do the same thing, is that when you memory map the file, the OS has to translate everything into binary which can take some time. NBT is already binary, therefore no translating needs to be done.

[tall dragon]

ah yea. fair point

[river oracle]

so I can use JBNT I got that, but how would I map a block to NBT or whatever. I don't know where to begin there, or even how to use minecrafts structure

[wet breach]

look at how worldedit creates schematics

[river oracle]

also where would I store the NBT file just in my plugins data folder

[wet breach]

sure, not sure where else you would want to put it

[eternal oxide]

Why are you messing with NBT if you want to use Structures?

[wet breach]

I think you misread that

[regal scaffold]

Question frost, what's the difference between using PersistentDataType as byte[] and NBTTagCompound

[wet breach]

One is the object type the other is binary form of the type

[regal scaffold]

Any benefits of one or the other? Is it this that you said?

[river oracle]

I haven't looked at worlds edit code cuz I couldn't find it yet, but do you need to asynchronously load data from NBT files like something like sqlite or is all the data loaded into memory

[wet breach]

well not sure what exactly the benefit would be to using a byte array yourself as opposed to obtaining a NBTTagCompound in regards to PDC since it has its own structured layout. But some advantages however in using a byte array could be, faster reading depending how you loop. You can use bitshifting with byte arrays which can really speed things up if you know what you are doing. They are a smaller memory footprint. All things you really don't need to worry about unless you need to

[wet breach]

memory mapping is part of the NIO package in Java

[regal scaffold]

In that case would implementing with NBT be simpler than byte[]?

[wet breach]

probably

since the implementation of PDC the backend of it is NBT anyways

[wet breach]

so with memory mapping you have 2 options to load files

you can either load the entire file all at once, recommended way to go for small files which yours will most likely will be

or you read through it as needed

so you would create like a buffer that dictates how much of the file to load at a time

[river oracle]

is this the correct JNBT lib? https://github.com/Morlok8k/JNBT
if so do I need to shade it or does minecraft jar already do so

nvm legit says its a fork

smh

[river oracle]

how do I obtain the JNBT dependency do I need to manually install the jar from somewhere

[wet breach]

https://github.com/frostalf/JNBT

worldedit also has JNBT

but theres is slightly different and tailored to worldedit

anyways, you would shade JNBT into your plugin

minecraft has NBT too, but doesn't use the same names I don't think

[regal scaffold]

Hey forst, sorry to bother but I'm still not able to figure out how to serialize and deserialize my object for PDC

[wet breach]

JNBT just lets you use NBT without having to depend on NMS for NBT utilization 🙂

[wet breach]

not sure how you are serializing

you could just base64 it and just store that lol

[warped shell]

Anyone know about persistant entities being saved when chunks unload?
I want to save their UUID and for certain entities delete them when they load back in but its acting like the uuid changes or somthing making the entity undetectable?

[regal scaffold]

lol so much PDC stuff tonight for some reason

[wet breach]

weird, UUID's shouldn't change for the entity

even though technically entities die when they unload

but I don't think that would be the issue at hand

[warped shell]

yea I noticed that

ok well thanks for verifying

[river oracle]

so to make sure I'm getting this right. I essentailly create a .nbt file or whatever extension probably doesn't matter and load it with the in and out stream and save all my block data to that file? also NBT is a key value storage system? so I can store blocks location as a key and the data as the data pertaining to the block and just make a simple wrapper.

[wet breach]

yep, and extension doesn't matter its whatever you want it to be. Best part about memory mapped files is that if the application dies, the memory mapping is separate from the application and handled by the OS and will eventually between 5-10 minutes get saved

also memory mapped files is a handy way to transfer information between applications of two varying types too

since multiple things can access the same memory mapped file

https://tenor.com/view/the-more-you-know-gif-26317296

[river oracle]

yeah this was very enlightening

one thing I've always wondered is when to use pdc vs nbt vs database

[wet breach]

well you can use pdc for this, just I am not a fan of it since it seems it won't clean itself up

its a pet peeve of mine where game files get bloated with no system in place to clean up

[river oracle]

NBT seems like a cleaner way to do this

for me

is it fine if I host it?

[wet breach]

go for it, its not mine

[timid berry]

bruh someone help me out 💀

alright lol

[wet breach]

JNBT was created by someone else

[river oracle]

bruh someone be patient 💀

[wet breach]

and it was hosted on sourceforge

[timid berry]

naw trust what does this code do 💀

[wet breach]

their license permits you to modify it and what not as long as you leave the license intact

and give them credit etc etc

[river oracle]

idk but its shitty clde

[wet breach]

the reason I have JNBT in my repo

is because I updated it since it was missing NBT tags

and its a nice tool for NBT

and since MC doesn't change often in regards to NBT

Ok I tried

But having issues

public class ItemInformation implements ConfigurationSerializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private List<String> itemName;

    private List<Integer> itemAmount;

    private List<UUID> playerUUID;


    public ItemInformation() {
        this.itemName = new ArrayList<>();
        this.itemAmount = new ArrayList<>();
        this.playerUUID = new ArrayList<>();
    }

    public static ItemInformation deserialize(Map<String, Object> map) {
        ItemInformation im = new ItemInformation();
        im.setItemName((List<String>) map.get("itemName"));
        im.setItemAmount((List<Integer>) map.get("itemAmount"));
        im.setPlayerUUID((List<UUID>) map.get("playerUUID"));
        return im;
    }

    public List<String> getName() {
        return itemName;
    }
    public List<Integer> getAmount() {
        return itemAmount;
    }
    public List<UUID> getUUID() {
        return playerUUID;
    }

    public void setItemName(List<String> itemName) {
        this.itemName = itemName;
    }

    public void setItemAmount(List<Integer> itemAmount) {
        this.itemAmount = itemAmount;
    }

    public void setPlayerUUID(List<UUID> playerUUID) {
        this.playerUUID = playerUUID;
    }

    @Override
    public Map<String, Object> serialize() {
        Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
        map.put("itemName", itemName);
        map.put("itemAmount", itemAmount);
        map.put("playerUUID", playerUUID);
        return map;
    }```

So that's my class

Then I assume I need to create a ItemDataType which I declared public class ItemNameDataType implements PersistentDataType<PersistentDataContainer, ItemInformation>

And then I'm lost

Like I'm confused as to what I'm actually passing, how do I access the elements inside one of the lists, for instance

holy crap this is confusing

[wet breach]

mojang removed the NBT docs

Notch used to have documents in regards to all the NBT stuff

and then after he left, it disappeared and what not lol

[wet breach]

but the sourceforge page is not mine

it belongs to whoever initially created JNBT

[buoyant viper]

realized that after a little while yeah

[river oracle]

That's dumb

I suppose mojang can do whatever though it's their code

[wet breach]

its their website too

documents were hosted on the minecraft.net site

which is where most of all you read about NBT

is it came from there

just we had copied it all before it disappeared fortunately 🙂

the NBT document wayback managed to save is outdated in that it doesn't contain the added tags since then

neither Serializable nor ConfigurationSerializable have much to do with PersistentDataType

you need to make your own serializer/deserializer for your type

?pdc

[undone axle]

[regal scaffold]

I've already tried making a TagType which implements PersistentDataType<> but then I was having problems with the topromitive and fromprimitive

[sullen marlin]

See " Custom PersistentDataTypes and how to use them ?"

[regal scaffold]

Yeah i've pretty much memorized that doc

But it's all about Primitive data types

And the example on UUID doesn't really relate that much since i'm trying to store List<Object>

[sullen marlin]

well thats kind of like a PersistentDataContainer[]

I dont think there's a generic list type however

[regal scaffold]

Hmmm this might be way over my head

Maybe you can suggest an alternative to what I'm trying to do

I'll explain

[sullen marlin]

store it as a string and send it to/from YamlConfiguration lol

[regal scaffold]

I'm trying to store
List of strings, "itemname"
Numbers of items for each string, "itemamount"

Those work like a key

and a list of UUID, all for 1 block

Now I thought about yaml but there has to be a better way

[regal scaffold]

Isn't that insanely slow to access and modify any data

[sullen marlin]

store it as a byte[] and write your own serializer/deserializer

[regal scaffold]

Just like the example shows, I'll try that again I guess

[sullen marlin]

new DataInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream

[regal scaffold]

Is that better than the example in the doc you linked?

[sullen marlin]

probably about the same but easier

[regal scaffold]

Ok great I'll give that a go

if you want to learn a couple of things if you are going the yaml route, you could learn how to use memory mapping from java's NIO package and NBT using the lib linked earlier 😉

create a file object and call mkdirs() and it will create all folders as needed

don't use a pluse

this is almost correct

it should be this instead
file = new File(ProxyServer.getInstance().getPluginsFolder() + "/SlashLobby", "config.yml");

notice I added a comma in there

anyways, only thing is to ensure your directory for your config is created and that should work 🙂

[lime moat]

It created SlashLobby/config.yml just config.yml isn't a file

Hey, I'm trying to modify the item's attributes (diamond sword for example) the vanilla attack damage is 7, but I'm struggling to increase it to 8 attack damage, can someone help me?

[warm light]

is it possible to generate vanilla structures in custom chunk generation?

[wet breach]

make the directory first before the file

the way you did it

it assumed you wanted a directory named config.yml

so just remove the config.yml part

in file object

call make directory

update file object to have the file you want

also you are going to want to surround the making the directory with a try catch block

to catch IOException in the event one is thrown

[lime moat]

So what I have currently is making the directory, then I do what I had in the first place with the directory object?

[wet breach]

yep

[warm light]

but how can I generate with chunk generation?

[tawdry parcel]

Do you guys also make config files for plugins that you only make for yourself?

[sullen marlin]

Chest.update()

[sullen marlin]

See the methods available for override in ChunkGenerator

[tawdry parcel]

and shouldn't I use this api here instead of the normal plugin: https://ci.citizensnpcs.co/job/CitizensAPI/

[maiden thicket]

wtf did they change the java colors

for code blocks

[topaz cape]

i feel left out

[quaint mantle]

What have you got so far

[sullen marlin]

No one likes threads

[topaz cape]

😦

i used a thread because this is like 5th time i ask for help about the same issue

[jagged monolith]

I hardly ever look at threads.

[topaz cape]

Well that's why i bump them

so you can actually see the message

[jagged monolith]

I never check them, because I prefer normal channels. I don't really like the threads.

Hello PEOPLE, This code is what I use to change what a player looks like into an entity and it has been working nicely in OW
but going to the nether it seems to not work? This is executed on PlayerChangedWorldEvent to refresh both players in Nether and the Player joining Nether and if the disguised player walks in Nether first then refreshed when someone joins him it doesn't work. but it does work when the disguised players joins after other players join. is there any logical explination for this?

OKE IS THIS BETTER NOW WILL PEOPLE STOP MAKING FUN OF ME FOR USING THREADS 😭

[sullen marlin]

Is the event too early maybe?

[topaz cape]

nope the world seems to be the nether

[jagged monolith]

That's what It sounds like. Player not getting refreshed at the right time

[topaz cape]

here's the thing i refresh the player when walking in Nether to other people on switching the world and it works but it doesn't work for people walking on the disguised player

so it's definitely not a timing problem

since i get the world from the refreshed and not the target

ill try sending it 4 ticks late still

[frank kettle]

Maybe add a function that repeats every 1 tick checking if the players location isn't null and then set his disguise? Maybe event is called before the chunks itself being loaded and so it can't update the player?

Does anyone know how e.g. LuckPerms uses MongoDB while keeping a file size < 1MB?

When I shade Morphia into my plugin it bloats up to over 10MB, I figured I could use the libararies feature in plugin.yml, but it doesn’t seem like they are doing it that way

[sullen marlin]

Probably doing a similar thing manually - downloading it

[tawdry parcel]

but if I use the api it outputs me an error in console:

[sullen marlin]

No

You run the plugin but compile against the api

[tawdry parcel]

wdym with against?

[sullen marlin]

Compile dependency = api

Honestly doesn’t really matter though

[tawdry parcel]

So shouldn't I put the API in the plugins folder?

[plucky nexus]

hi md_5

[buoyant viper]

well, what does Citizens themselves tell u to do?

my guess without looking anything up would be that u would probably need to run Citizens plugin itself on server to use api

[tawdry parcel]

to put some stuff in the pom.xml of my plugin:

    <repository>
        <id>citizens-repo</id>
        <url>https://maven.citizensnpcs.co/repo</url>
    </repository>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>net.citizensnpcs</groupId>
        <artifactId>citizens-main</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.30-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <type>jar</type>
        <scope>provided</scope>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>*</groupId>
                <artifactId>*</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

but i thought I also need to put the api.jar into the plugins folder of my server

[jagged monolith]

You set it to provided, so you need to make sure you run the plugin on the server as well

[tawdry parcel]

ok is there a way that i only need to have the api on my server?

[tawdry parcel]

and for what is the api then, if you need the entire plugin, not only the api?

[jagged monolith]

The API is needed to talk to the main plugin

[tawdry parcel]

but the main plugin already contains the api

[buoyant viper]

no like the citizens api needs the citizens plugin to do stuff

[jagged monolith]

The CitizensAPI in your plugin needs to talk to the actual Citizens plugin. Otherwise the API won't be able to do anything

[quaint mantle]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[tawdry parcel]

but I thought the citizensapi need to talk to my own plugin?

[buoyant viper]

you use Citizens API in your plugin to interface with the Citizens plugin

you still need the Citizens plugin itself on the server to make it work

[jagged monolith]

The way that the CitizensAPI:

Your plugin includes the citizensAPI, which tells the Citizens plugin to do specific tasks. It's the same reason you need the SpigotAPI in your plugin when you're using a spigot jar. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to change anything at all.

The API is like a messenger. It sends messages to the Citizens plugins to do what you want it to do. The API alone isn't enough.

[tawdry parcel]

oh okay this makes sense, so i need to add the CitizensAPI to my external librarys in intellij, and the normal Citizens plugin into the plugins folder of my server right?

[jagged monolith]

You add the API to your plugin as instructed on the citizens api page, then add the citizens plugin to your plugins folder.
