    private boolean isInFieldOfVision(LivingEntity e1, LivingEntity e2) {
        Vector direction = e1.getEyeLocation().getDirection();

        RayTraceResult result = e1.getWorld().rayTraceEntities(e1.getEyeLocation().add(direction).add(direction), direction, 10, 2,
                (entity) -> entity.getUniqueId().toString().equalsIgnoreCase(e2.getUniqueId().toString()));

        if (result == null)
            return false;

        return result.getHitEntity() != null;
    }

Is there a more reliable method? It doesn't seem to work all the time

[velvet chasm]

Not entirely sure. For some reason the wrapPlayer only works on a local player

[hybrid spoke]

look up their docs then

should be documented

[velvet chasm]

I had a look couldn't find much about players

[hybrid spoke]

what does "doesn't seem to work all the time" mean?

[remote swallow]

https://paste.md-5.net/nujawerugu.cs very confused at why the message doesnt appear in console

[hybrid spoke]

?notworking

[undone axle]

"Does not working" is a useless statement. Please describe what exactly is not working, what you expect it to do, and what actually happens. If you get any console errors, also ?paste the entire stacktrace.

[sage dragon]

It does not register that the entity is in my fov in like 4 out of 10 cases

[hybrid spoke]

that could have many reasons

also why are you adding the direction to the eyelocation? twice?

[sage dragon]

To avoid issues when e2 is directly behind e1, since I used 2 as the ray size

[hybrid spoke]

why would you have to change the ray size

just use the default one

[sage dragon]

Wouldn't that mean e1 would need to look directly at e2?

[hybrid spoke]

to look at the hitbox yes

[sage dragon]

Since e2 is an invisible enderman, this would be a little hard, because you can only see it's particle effects and eyes 🤔

I'd prefer it to have a little leeway so e1 doesn't have to look directly at the enderman

[velvet chasm]

Why does it not accept ploc as a location for ApplicableRegionSet? https://paste.md-5.net/eyeqepatem.nginx (worldguard)

[tender shard]

what's the error message

[velvet chasm]

cannot resolve method getapplicableregions(location)

[tender shard]

https://worldguard.enginehub.org/en/latest/developer/regions/spatial-queries/#getting-an-applicableregionset

you need a RegionQuery

if you use a RegionManager instead, it requires a Vector, not a Location: https://worldguard.enginehub.org/en/latest/developer/regions/spatial-queries/#through-a-regionmanager

it's all in the docs

[buoyant viper]

also public ProtectedRegion onKill(PlayerDeathEvent event, player) what

[tender shard]

lol

[golden turret]

why is it throwing StackOverflowError?

[echo basalt]

PlayerNPC does that

NPCs with ProtocolLib are... special

I mean you just need to send like 2 or 3 packets

not really

With NMS, metadata packets are simple

with protocollib stuff gets a bit more complicated

I have an NMS guide on my server profile that shows you how to send packets using ProtocolLib

You can then use something like https://gist.github.com/IllusionTheDev/8b0761be3b699fcfc0c082b753e6f063 to help out with metadata packets

Or here's an example on how to spawn a client-sided armorstand

[quaint mantle]

uhh anyone knows how to work with guardianbeamapi?

[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!

[quaint mantle]

right

I wanna do the beam part but with other entities

they dont have 1

something like that

is it possible?

[topaz cape]

this doesnt send anything to the player

o.o

here's how i inject (i changed it to addAfter)

and it does inject

it just doesnt work?

it sends the "Netty injected successfully" on join

so there's no exceptions thrown right?

[frank kettle]

Nms changes on every major version right?

[remote swallow]

iirc it changes somethings on major but then some things can change on patch versions

[frank kettle]

Or is there a stable older version we can use as a native api-version of the plugin that suits till now?

[topaz cape]

you're always welcome to use reflections

[remote swallow]

if you just need the api, use the lowest version you want to support

[frank kettle]

I feel like every plugin using nms has to make code for every different versions 🤔

[remote swallow]

they can

sometimes they can use reflection

[frank kettle]

Never used reflections

[remote swallow]

it depends what they do

[frank kettle]

Well, if I want to make a plugin with my own holograms without using an api, and if the holograms are per player, then I would need nms and the code for it would change every major version 🤔 so I would need to have different projects but same code for different versions or somehow put everything into the same which I've never done before 🤔 does anyone know what this is called or a good thread on spigot explaining it?

[remote swallow]

you could use multi module stuff for that

check how jeff lib works

[lilac dagger]

how do i disable this warning?

[eternal oxide]

assign to a variable

or just ignore it

[eternal night]

or just disable the inspection for that method

[tender shard]

Print an error if mkdirs() returns false

And obv check if it exists before

[lilac dagger]

i guess i could do that

[tender shard]

Or just ignore it

[lilac dagger]

i can't just ignore it

i see it

[young nimbus]

Hi all! I got a problem with my plugin, i got two configs, config.yml and cooldowns.yml. I wanted to add 2 new commands, but i think i messed up with smth. i get the error File cannot be null. These are my neccessary classes:
Main: https://hastebin.com/arezaqitik.java
1st Command: https://hastebin.com/ikepafotad.java
2nd Command: https://hastebin.com/sobekoduso.java (not completely done yet)
3rd Command: https://hastebin.com/qaviwefipa.swift
Cooldown: https://hastebin.com/cevepewofe.java
I would be very glad if someone could help me with this, i am a bit new in programming 😄

oh sorry for the spam 😬

[chrome beacon]

cooldownFile is null

[remote swallow]

^^

[chrome beacon]

on load is fired before on enable

[lilac dagger]

i disabled the inspection 😄

[chrome beacon]

?main

[undone axle]

[young nimbus]

im sorry haha, i am very new and trying just to get the plugin to work

[remote swallow]

andt hose events in your main class wont work

you dont register them, you dont impl listener or have them annotated

[chrome beacon]

That looks like a copy pasted mess

[remote swallow]

and you shouldnt be using Minecraft logger

[young nimbus]

yeah because it is haha

[remote swallow]

?learnjava first

[undone axle]

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

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

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

[young nimbus]

what could i use instead?

[remote swallow]

use your own

[chrome beacon]

Every plugin has it's own logger

[young nimbus]

what could be a way to fix it?

[remote swallow]

dont load the file in onLoad

[chrome beacon]

By making it not null

[young nimbus]

in onEnable?

[remote swallow]

that would probably work

[young nimbus]

okay, thanks

[chrome beacon]

thanks for the info

[young nimbus]

?

[young nimbus]

you know a way how to fix it?

sigh We're not going to spoon feed you everything

If you do not want to take the time to learn how Java works hire someone

[mighty mica]

Good day all,
Could someone lend me a hand with my plugin?
Every time I start up the test server, I get a message saying that my plugin doesn't have valid plugin.yml.
It's in there, and I've tried putting it into various locations within the plugin to try and get it to work, but still nothing
In the plugin.yml I have;
main, name and version, the 3 required lines according to the spigot guide.
Anyone have any idea as to why this is?

[eternal night]

can you provide the entire error ?

[chrome beacon]

How are you building your plugin?

[eternal night]

the plugin.yml should be at the root of your jar file (check if it is)

[young nimbus]

"everything" huh, didnt know that figuring out how to not making it null completely is everything, and how could i fix this quick if i would start learn java now

Dont be so rude to someone new tf

just needed a quick tip on that and you are blowin all up

Im using eclipse, so the process I take is;
Right click project, export, into Jar File, select everything within "Select the resources to export" and hit finish

I've been working on the plugin this morning, it was working fine last evening, so I'm not sure what could've changed or went wrong..

[chrome beacon]

I haven used Eclipse in over 4 years so

Try adding the yml directly if that's possible

[mighty mica]

What do you mean?

[chrome beacon]

In the export menu

can you specify files to include

if so specify the plugin.yml

[mighty mica]

See, it doesn't show in the selection menu, but nor does the config.yml, but I know both are there and get exported correctly as it's in the .jar itself

If I open the jar with Winrar, they're there

[chrome beacon]

ah it's named plugins.yml

It should be plugin.yml

[mighty mica]

Yep... it's.. it's working now...

[weak bear]

Do you know why the function addDefault don't work ?

[mighty mica]

Genuinely don't know when I renamed it from plugin.yml to plugins.yml.. Like it worked yesterday and I only worked on the code xd

[mighty mica]

Thank you! <3

[weak bear]

I just use it but when I reload the config.yml don't want save it

        System.out.println("cbon");
        this.saveConfig();
        this.saveDefaultConfig();
        this.getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);```

That's dont write in my config file

[mighty mica]

So, you want to use your config.yml, but when you reload the config, you don't want to save it? Just, reload it?

"Close it without saving" and "open it" back up in your code?

[chrome beacon]

?configs

[undone axle]

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

[weak bear]

Thank you but that don't work

Do you have idea that dont work

[primal goblet]

Hey! i have a map reset every 20 minutes, but the reset map have to teleport all the players to the new map
and my server can have like 80 players in one game so when the teleport happens the server lagged very hard and stopped for 30 seconds then the server back normal
how can i fix it? and is that normal or i'm overthinking?

[chrome beacon]

Did you read the guide

[orchid gazelle]

hello. I would like to ask how I can get the rotation of a player's body when just having the rotation of the normal location?

[tawdry parcel]

hey, i want to stop the vines from growing, my code:

package com.koner.konerutils;

import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.BlockGrowEvent;

public class NoVinesGrowing implements Listener {
    public void onVinesGrow(BlockGrowEvent event) {
        if (event.getBlock().getType() == Material.VINE) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }
}
``````java
package com.koner.konerutils;

import com.koner.konerutils.chat.ChatFormat;
import com.koner.konerutils.nickname.NicknameCommand;
import com.koner.konerutils.npc.NPCInteract;

    }

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        // Plugin shutdown logic
    }
}
```but for some reason, the vines are still growing? Why?

[tender shard]

you didnt add EventHandler

[tardy delta]

@EventHandler

[tender shard]

also it might be BlockGrowEvent instead of BlockSpreadEvent

[tawdry parcel]

oh yeah xD

[tawdry parcel]

I have BlockGrowEvent there?

[tender shard]

ugh then the other way around

[tawdry parcel]

oh okay i'll try that too

[quaint mantle]

^ ?

[tender shard]

it's BlockSpreadEvent

[remote swallow]

do i need to use async chat on monitor to set the format?

[tawdry parcel]

how did you get it to be in the chat?

[tender shard]

by sending it to chat?

[remote swallow]

Bukkit.broadcast prob

[tawdry parcel]

oh thank you

[tender shard]

    @EventHandler
    public void onSpread(BlockSpreadEvent event) {
        if(event.getNewState().getType() == Material.VINE) {
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("BlockSpreadEvent @ " + event.getNewState().getLocation());
        }
    }

[tender shard]

no, you should never use monitor to change event related data

just use NORMAL

or HIGHEST

[remote swallow]

you say

smh

[tender shard]

yes that's because we wrote ALL plugins ourselves, and already had something running on highest

[remote swallow]

ah

[tender shard]

it's shit

don't do it

use highest

[remote swallow]

for some reason its adding the message twice

ill add the highest stuff rq

[tawdry parcel]

When I use .setDisplayName() the name becomes italic, how can I fix this?

package com.koner.konerutils.npc;
import net.citizensnpcs.api.event.NPCRightClickEvent;
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.inventory.Inventory;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.ItemMeta;

public class NPCInteract implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void click(NPCRightClickEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getClicker();
        Inventory inventory = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 3*9, "Select Map");

        if (event.getNPC().getName().equals("knockbackffa")) {
            ItemStack islandMap = new ItemStack(Material.OAK_SAPLING);
            ItemMeta islandMapMeta = islandMap.getItemMeta();

            islandMapMeta.setDisplayName("Island");
            islandMap.setItemMeta(islandMapMeta);

            inventory.setItem(13, islandMap);
        }

        player.openInventory(inventory);
    }
}

[remote swallow]

ChatColor.RESET + "name"

[tawdry parcel]

and §r as a color code?

[tender shard]

ChatColor.RESET is §r

[tawdry parcel]

thank you :D

[tender shard]

btw @remote swallow you're going to use adventure for the gradients right?

because the other plugin used &x&f&f&0&0&0&0 notation

[remote swallow]

ofc

private static LegacyComponentSerializer LEGACY_SERIALIZER = LegacyComponentSerializer.builder().character('&').hexCharacter('#').hexColors().useUnusualXRepeatedCharacterHexFormat().build();

    public static String format(String toTranslate) {
        return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', LEGACY_SERIALIZER.serialize(MiniMessage.miniMessage().deserialize(toTranslate)));
    }

[primal goblet]

anyone? 🥲

[tender shard]

use PaperLib and load the chunks near the teleport location async

it provides a CallBack of Future or sth

or you can directly use teleportAsync

[primal goblet]

how's that

[tender shard]

PaperLib.teleportAsync(myPlayer, targetLocation)

https://github.com/PaperMC/PaperLib

HOWEEEVER

the async stuff will only work on Paper. On Spigot, it falls back to sync chunk loading

[primal goblet]

i'm using imanity spigot is that will work ?

[tender shard]

is that a server software?

[primal goblet]

yep

[tender shard]

then no clue

[primal goblet]

i will get mute if i give you the link?

[tender shard]

no

[primal goblet]

https://imanity.dev/

thats it

i'm gonna ask them of this

[tender shard]

i dont really see any information there lol

[remote swallow]

https://imanity.dev/imanityspigot/

found that

[primal goblet]

oh there's async chunk loader

[tender shard]

you should be able to use CompletableFuture<Chunk> getChunkAtAsynchronously(Location location, AsyncPriority priority)

e.g.

!verify

[undone axle]

Usage: !verify <forums username>

[tender shard]

read the rules

[undone axle]

Not verified? Upload screenshots here: https://prnt.sc/

[tender shard]

getChunkAtAsynchronously(location, somePriority).whenComplete((result, ex) -> {
  if(ex != null) player.teleport(location);
});

[remote swallow]

register the command

[tender shard]

it should be not red even for non-existing commands? o0

that makes little sense

[remote swallow]

you would have to register all commands

[tender shard]

i doubt that it's possible since the command list is client side

and how did you make this show up in blue?

IIRC 1.8 didnt even have proper tab complete so that's probably the reason why it "works" on 1.8

[river oracle]

1.8 :(

1.8's tab complete is complete and utter shit

[tender shard]

just like everything else in that version

1.8 was the best version - until 1.9 came out

[river oracle]

lmao

[remote swallow]

kyori.net is down

[river oracle]

💀

[eternal night]

Paper builds be failing 😦

Damn you javadoc creation

[river oracle]

look at viaversions code

there you go

[tender shard]

it is, but not for 8 year old versions

[river oracle]

problem solved

[tender shard]

yeah like new features, new mobs, better world generation, more structures and items and blocks, ...

[remote swallow]

L

[river oracle]

don't forget about the dastardly pvp 💀

[remote swallow]

amazing team

theres like 40 of them

[tender shard]

paper's javadocs are cursed since years 😢

[eternal night]

The kyori team ?

[remote swallow]

theres like 15 or somethgin

[tender shard]

why is everything annotated twice lol

[eternal night]

How many do you think have perms to manage the domain

[tawdry parcel]

Hey, I want to put some stuff in a json file, but I don't know how (read comment)

package com.koner.konerutils.ranks;

import com.google.gson.Gson;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

import java.io.FileWriter;

public class RankCommand implements CommandExecutor {
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        try {
            gson.toJson(123456789, new FileWriter("/konerutils/ranks.json"));
            // Output should be {["uuid": "data", "uuid": "data"]}, instead of 123456789, I think that I somehow need to use classes for that?

        } catch(Exception exception) {
            exception.printStackTrace();
        }
        return true;
    }
}

[eternal night]

And that is java

[tender shard]

even if that'd be the case, what's the problem with a few tiny files?

[eternal night]

Iirc known javadoc bug

[remote swallow]

all of this

[eternal night]

Aha

[remote swallow]

lynx go ping mini

i require the kyori docs

[eternal night]

He does not have perms either I believe

[tender shard]

spigot got it fixed somehow, and I also never had this problem with javax annotations

[eternal night]

Spigot compiles API to java 8

That's why lol

[remote swallow]

i thought mini is lead kyori

[eternal night]

No lol

[remote swallow]

is kyori lead in paper discord

[tardy delta]

dont create a new gson instance on every command invocation

[eternal night]

They have been notified XD just wait

[remote swallow]

smh

what if i need the docs

[eternal night]

Compile them yourself

Idk

[remote swallow]

that takes effort

and the funny this is that they worked earlier

[river oracle]

https://www.baeldung.com/gson-save-file what fourteen said also here is a guide on how to write JSON files with GSON. Baeldung always has great guides <3 they help me so much

[eternal night]

Well your DNs probably was cached

[tender shard]

that's bukkit's javadocs compiled with target and source 17

[eternal night]

Iirc they use a rather old version of the annotations lib

I think it's a javac issue

And then javadoc picks it up

So using libraries compiled before it exploded fixes it

Tho don't quote me on that, it's off the top of my head

Don't have the sources on hand to back it up

[tender shard]

jetbrains annotations-java5 23.0.0

that's from nov 2021, not the latest but also not old

[eternal night]

I mean, doesn't matter how old it is

Depends on what it is compiled with iirc

Urfh lemme see, we discussed that somewhere

[tender shard]

i remember that spigot also had this bug back in 1.9 or so

and yeah I've also read about this javac bug, weird that it hasn't been fixed yet

I just also switched from annotations to annotations-java5 to fix it for my stuff lol

[remote swallow]

adventure jank

[tender shard]

yeah it's quite a pain to use

[eternal night]

Ah there

https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8278592

[tender shard]

but for admins it's ofc nice

[remote swallow]

earlier using black + darkblue or dark_blue the gradient worked perfectly

now it refuses to

[tender shard]

except that they are forced to use adventure

and doesnt support & codes

[tender shard]

there must be way older issues than that

[eternal night]

Probably? Its on linked in a discussion I had

[tender shard]

oh yeah there's one from 2017

funny how this still didnt get fixed

[eternal night]

i guess not too much of a priority ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dire marsh]

anyone know if there's some easy way to spawn a fake beacon, even if it's an external library

[river oracle]

i swear I've seen a fake beacon guide on spigot

[eternal night]

Isn't beacon client side ?

[river oracle]

I must find this

[tender shard]

you mean with beam?

[dire marsh]

yes

[wet breach]

beam is clientside in how far it can be seen

[dire marsh]

hmm

how does wynncraft do theirs?

[wet breach]

a trick you could do

if you want it seen everywhere

[tender shard]

probably just sending fakeblocks

[wet breach]

is to make a fake beacon within the max distance the client will render

and just keep updating it

as they get closer

until they are within the real block distance

[tender shard]

Player#sendBlockChange(...). I dont see any packets related to beacons except for "recalculate beacon beam"

[dire marsh]

hmm shame, kind of needed it to be fake so there wouldn't be visible blocks

[tender shard]

you could send the BlockChanges to show a beacon, call the BlockAction update packet, then send another blockchange and not send the block action packet again

the client seems to only update the beam when this packet gets send

[remote swallow]

time to write down all the colour options

[tender shard]

https://wiki.vg/Block_Actions#Beacon

[remote swallow]

and their actual color

[wet breach]

you could just have it all fake

just didn't know if you wanted the beam of an actual block visible further

but, yeah you could definitely just use fake blocks for the entire thing and just update as necessary to keep the beam at whatever distance and direction

HI , Why do I not understand anything when I see Minecraft plugin writing tutorial?

[tender shard]

maybe the tutorials are shit

what exactly don't you understand?

the actual coding, or do you already struggle with setting up the project in your IDE etc?

[quaint mantle]

I do not understand programming and coding in any language
Maybe I am really untalented :/

[tender shard]

oh you definitely need to learn the basics of java first

?learnjava

[undone axle]

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

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

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

[tender shard]

if you start with minecraft plugins without ANY coding knowledge, you'll have a really, really bad time

the learnjavaonline thing looks interesting

[quaint mantle]

so , with video tutorials in youtube i cant ?

[tender shard]

you can also check out video tutorials, of course

but choose one that's about the basics of java first

dont start with minecraft plugins

[quaint mantle]

Maybe before learning Java, I should learn the basics of programming
it's true ?

[tender shard]

why the heck do most "dependency information" NEVER tell which scope to use lmao. in gradle they are ofc forced to tell us, but e.g. ProtocolLib doesn't tell whether to use provided or compile lol

[tender shard]

you can learn the basics in java

[remote swallow]

ratio

[tender shard]

idk this doesnt look too bad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIrMbAQSU34

[quaint mantle]

like virtual basic or ... ?

[tender shard]

nah, fuck visual basic

get started with java

java is good for beginners, as well as for complex stuff

when I was in school, we also started coding using java

[quaint mantle]

:/

[tender shard]

java is great for beginners because it's strictly typed and has awesome IDEs like IntelliJ that have proper tab completion, unlike PHP or python etc

check out the video I sent

[quaint mantle]

I had started learning 23 programming languages in every way but I failed in the end * xD Like Go and React and PHP and Lua and C and C Family :/

[quaint mantle]

I watched a lot of videos like this
I am really the dumbest person in programming *

[tender shard]

well maybe do it again, write exactly what the dude in the video is writing, and if you don't understand anything specific, feel free to ask here

[quaint mantle]

I know transcription, but I don't learn

[tender shard]

tbh you should rather use written tutorials

at least for me, I find them way more useful

[remote swallow]

yt tuts are awful

[tender shard]

they stop you from copy / pasting everything and also usually explain stuff way better

[remote swallow]

especially without source code

[tender shard]

yeah YT tutorials suck

[tender shard]

these are all good ^

(except the last one, it requires prev knowledge)

[wet breach]

in maven it is up to you in what scope you want to choose. If you are not going to provide the dependency in your project automatically or if the dependency doesn't need to be compiled before hand, you should choose provided

otherwise compile for all other things

[tender shard]

in gradle I am also able to choose

however there's little reasoning in shading WorldGuard

[wet breach]

doesn't mean you couldn't do it

[tender shard]

in gradle they tell you whether to use "compileOnly" or "implementation", so why not for maven too

[wet breach]

I just told you

dependencies don't need to be in your jar

[tender shard]

I know how it works lol

[remote swallow]

minimal effort

[tender shard]

what bothers me is that they tell gradle users "you need to shade it" but to maven users they say "yeah whatever"

[wet breach]

well most people don't follow licenses either

[tender shard]

tbh if licenses wouldn't always be a huge text wall, maybe people would read them

[wet breach]

blame laws for that and people always trying to find some hidden meaning

[tender shard]

and I also think "if someone wouldn't want others to use it, they wouldnt have uploaded it publicly to github where everyone can fork it and stuff"

[wet breach]

well what you think isn't really relevant to the license

[pseudo hazel]

well usually a license has a name which you can just learn the meaning of, like they actual license text is mostly copy paste from somewhete

[wet breach]

the reason I brought it up is because while although you could shade something, doesn't mean the license permits it

if it does, usually have to provide the license along with your project

almost all plugins are in violation of that

technically a license file is supposed to be provided in the plugins data folder too

and any others you are supposed to provide so that the user can read them 🙂

[frank kettle]

for some reason getType().getMaxDurability() is always returning 0 🤔 any other way of checking durability?

[wet breach]

on what?

[frank kettle]

of a tool

[tender shard]

I fixed the license issue by doing this https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/ResourcePackMerger/blob/master/LICENSE.md

[wet breach]

while that may be the license for your project, that isn't the license for dependencies necessarily lol

anyways, as far as the maven shading goes. There is no requirement to shade libraries

since libraries can function outside of the jar just fine as long as you have a class loader

which by default there is always one

[tender shard]

you're missing the point of what I was upset about

[wet breach]

you are upset because maven provides flexibility and doesn't enforce which scope something must use because really it doesn't matter because it is up to the user to decide which they want to use

which scope you use for a dependency has no bearing on whether the dependency works or not

[remote swallow]

alex how do i make maven stop caring if var plugin is initalized or isnt

[tender shard]

no.......

This is what bothers me:

Example github readme:

=============

How to use in maven:

<groupId>me.someone</groupId>
<artifactId>my-lib</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>

How to use in gradle:

implementation "me.someone:my-lib:1.0"

[wet breach]

again, scope is not necessary for a dependency to function

[tender shard]

wdym?

[tender shard]

it kinda is. compile is the default scope if not otherwise specified

[wet breach]

it kinda isn't

[tender shard]

it's not maven complaining, but javac

[wet breach]

you are either going to shade it in or you are not, doesn't have anything to do with the function of the dependency

[tender shard]

it is

[remote swallow]

can i make them stop caring?

[wet breach]

dependencies don't have to be in your jar to work

[tender shard]

nobody ever said that

[wet breach]

show me one that is the case and I will believe you

otherwise it is user choice in maven

[tender shard]

it's also the users choice in gradle

[wet breach]

then you are upset over a non-important thing because of personal preference that has nothing to do with functionality

[tender shard]

again, you are missing the point of what I'm upset about.

I don't like that all readme's tell gradle users which scope to use, but not maven users.

They should either leave it open for gradle users too, or tell maven users which scope to use, too.

[wet breach]

its not important in maven

[tender shard]

it is as important in maven as it is in gradle

[wet breach]

therefore why specify something that is up for the user to specify

[tender shard]

yeah anyway, this is leading nowhere, I'll continue to write my archetype

[wet breach]

yeah because you are complaining that maven users don't specify scope on something that isn't their decision anyways

[remote swallow]

wouldnt spigot-api break if you had scope compile

[wet breach]

no

API that you depend on is implemented and provided in spigot. If you shaded the API into your jar as well, it won't change anything other then the API is in your jar as well as the spigot jar and basically you increased the size unnecessarily lol

[tender shard]

no, but it's pointless

[wet breach]

its like shading in the mysql driver

you can do it, but spigot already provides it. It would make sense if you are depending on a higher version of the driver

[frank kettle]

just use a blockplaceveent?

and then take all the lava way in a cube around and transform the sponge into a "web sponge"

[quaint mantle]

This might be a dumb question, but i've never made an api before. How do you locate or create the maven dependancy for your own plugin?

[frank kettle]

open game and test it?

[remote swallow]

mvn install

[frank kettle]

wdym decompile

[remote swallow]

minecraft

they want the mojang code

[tender shard]

you mvn install the API

then it's in your local repo and you can just add it as <dependency> in other projects

[wet breach]

https://github.com/frostalf/servertutorial

[frank kettle]

@last temple

[wet breach]

this is how I do api's for my projects most times

[frank kettle]

a quick google search would find this

[wet breach]

or when I want to provide an API

[frank kettle]

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Sponge

[remote swallow]

@tender shard how do i make javac stop caring that it might not be initalized

[tender shard]

X never ever marks the spot

[tender shard]

initialize it

[remote swallow]

but its initalized by acf

[tender shard]

the plugin?

no

it's not

[remote swallow]

if i add a constructor it says to remove the required args constructor thing

[tender shard]

it's filled in by REquiredArgsConstructor

you have three options:

1. private final MyPlugin plugin = MyPlugin.getInstance();

2.```java
@RequiredArgsConsturcor
public class CommandClass {
private final MyPlugin plugin;
}

[quaint mantle]

I've done mvn install but not seeing it anywhere in the path

Like I can't see the repo and dependancy of my plugin

[remote swallow]

do you not know your artifactId or groupId

[tender shard]

or 3, which is the same as 2:

public class COmmandClass {
  private final MyPlugin plugin;

  pulic CommandClass(MyPlugin plugin) { this.plugin = plugin }; 

[wet breach]

use @SuppressWarnings("ALL") above class

[tender shard]

it's an error, not a warning

[remote swallow]

the repo is your computer, you dont need one

[remote swallow]

acf jnak

[tender shard]

your repo is at $HOME/.m2/repository

[tender shard]

that has nothing to do with ACF

it's how final fields always work

and REquiredArgsConstr is from lombok, not acf

[wet breach]

thought he said it was complaining about uninitialized variable warning

[remote swallow]

doesnt Requiredargs come from acf

[tender shard]

he has a final field without doing anything

[tender shard]

no it's lombok

[remote swallow]

but you dont need to add anything to ur repo list to use this @quaint mantle

[remote swallow]

ah

[wet breach]

this is fine

[tender shard]

public class MyClass {
  final String name;
}

this is definitely not fine

[remote swallow]

this is your code lol

[tender shard]

hm?

wdym

[remote swallow]

thats the repo but they shouldnt need to add anything to their repo list in maven to use it

[tender shard]

yeah

maven local is included by default

[wet breach]

If you do it like this, the final variable has to be assigned in the constructor

so yes it is fine

[remote swallow]

now ij is complaining

[tender shard]

frostalf sometimes I think you simply WANT to disagree with people

I sent code of a class that obviously won't compile

and you say "it's fine" - if one changes things

yeah obv everything is always fine if you fix it

[wet breach]

it will if you assign it in the constructor of the class

[quaint mantle]

Yeah i'm not saying I can't find it, I was reffering to @wet breach's as he has repository in his to so was confused

[tender shard]

yeah but as you can see, there is no constructor that assigns that field

[wet breach]

but also it has no bearing on if something like lombok is used

[remote swallow]

he probably has maven publish's maven equiv and publish's it there

[tender shard]

if you do mvn install, the dependency will bein your local repo. You don't need to specify any other repo to use it yourself

[wet breach]

your .m2 directory is under your user name directory for windows

install, installs your jar there

[quaint mantle]

Yeah I know

[quaint mantle]

I don't see the dependancy in .m2. I see the jar, pom and _remote nothing else

[wet breach]

how the dependency gets installed is dependent on the org tag

[quaint mantle]

ahhh

I see

[wet breach]

so if the org tag is org.spigotmc for example, it creates a directory call org. and then spigotmc

and then under there your dependency would be there

for example

[quaint mantle]

I get you

[wet breach]

oh well I should clarify it will then create a directory of the artifact id

and then version

[carmine urchin]

Would anyone recommend citizens api over using nms for npcs?

[quaint mantle]

and the dependency is inside version?

[wet breach]

yep

[quaint mantle]

I see these again

[wet breach]

LightningCore is the dependency

[quaint mantle]

That would be it wouldn't it?

[wet breach]

I don't know how the groupId was originally

but all the other stuff looks right

[quaint mantle]

it was org.com I think

Does it matter?

[wet breach]

is that how it is listed in .m2?

[wet breach]

yes, as that is how maven finds it in the .m2

order is like so

[quaint mantle]

says org.example in the original m2 path

[wet breach]

then when you compiled your project, you set org.example as the groupid

now if you want to depend on it, you would use org.example for groupid

if that isn't the groupid you want, change it in the project and then recompile lol

[quaint mantle]

If i re compile though then re install it will be to what I set it?

Yhyh

no probs thanks

[frank kettle]

i found a problem with my plugin that is multi version. Netherite item is seen as type "AIR" in versions below no netherite which does make sense but the server is on 1.19.3 so i thought it would work since the server has that material... guess i was wrong and need to make a way of making my plugin have different versions 💀 anyone has a tutorial for it?

[remote swallow]

xmaterial if its just material stuff

[wet breach]

you could just re-assign it to another block for versions below netherite existing

[frank kettle]

what do you mean?

[wet breach]

instead of trying to use netherite on versions below it existing, you would just simply detect that and just use a block that does exist instead

not sure what your plugin is so can't say that is a viable solution but it keeps your plugin working though 🙂

[frank kettle]

im using on my plugin spigot version 1.9. can i make a plugin version 1.19 but work on older versions if I don't put api-version on plugin.yml?

[frank kettle]

its a plugin that is about mining

and i have to get their durability to cancel it if pickaxe is breaking

[wet breach]

well obviously they are not going to be mining netherite in versions that don't contain netherite

[frank kettle]

well but server is on 1.19.3

since plugin is on version 1.9, it doesnt know what netherite is

[river oracle]

Want a big hint

[wet breach]

you need to depend on higher API versions

[river oracle]

Material.valueOf isn't version dependent :)

[frank kettle]

@wet breach would this work?

[wet breach]

as in depend on multiple api versions lol

[river oracle]

Also use reflection for newer api

[wet breach]

or use reflection or both

[tender shard]

but if the plugin doesnt specify an API version, that won'T work. I guess they mus at least have api-version 1.13

[wet breach]

if its not specified the server automatically assumes lowest api version that it knows

which is 1.13

since that is when that stuff came about

[tender shard]

no, if it's not specified, it enables legacy material support and you'll end up with different material names

[wet breach]

isn't 1.13 where legacy materials are at?

[frank kettle]

plugin is on 1.9 tho.

[wet breach]

why is that important?

either you are going to depend on higher api versions or you are not. But if you don't, then you can't make use of methods that your plugin can't see

[twin venture]

Hello , iam trying to download 1.9.4 into buildtools

[wet breach]

unless you start using reflection everywhere

and generics

[twin venture]

i finished other versions , only this one

[tender shard]

that looks more like 1.9.2

update your buildtools

[twin venture]

i tried bo

1.9 , 1.9.4 , 1.9.2

nothing works

other verions works too

[tender shard]

This is a 1.19.3 server that does System.out.println(Material.NETHERITE_INGOT) with no api-version set

[twin venture]

my internet is fast & stable

[remote swallow]

update buildtools

[tender shard]

as I said, update your buildtools

[twin venture]

yeah that's works

weird i downloaded it a month ago

[river oracle]

What does it do with Material.valueOf("NETHERITE_INGOY")

[river oracle]

Not what I'm asking

[tender shard]

oh

sorry my bad

one sec

[frank kettle]

if anything ill update plugin to 1.13+

nobody using old versions anyways

[remote swallow]

dafrick? ```java
@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
public void onPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();
String playerNickname = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player, plugin.getConfig().getString("format.nickname-placeholder")).replace('§', '&');
String color1 = plugin.getChatColor1(player);
String color2 = plugin.getChatColor2(player);
String serverName = plugin.getConfig().getString("server.name");
String serverColor = plugin.getConfig().getString("server.color");
String messagePre = plugin.getConfig().getString("format.gradient");
String messageFormatted = messagePre
.replace("%server_color%", serverColor)
.replace("%server_name%", serverName)
.replace("%nickname%", playerNickname)
.replace("%color_1%", color1)
.replace("%color_2%", color2)
.replace("%msg%", event.getMessage());
event.setFormat(Utils.format(messageFormatted));
}

[tender shard]

as I said, legacy material support

[river oracle]

Hmm

[remote swallow]

ill fix the plugin.getConfig()'s later

[tender shard]

api-version HAS to be 1.13

if you wanna access post-1.12.2 materials

[twin venture]

still devolping on 1.8.8 :#

[twin venture]

i suggest using Xmaterial for that , i used it and it fixed my problem

[frank kettle]

I don't understand why if u can make 1.8 pvp in latest versions.

i only see pvp as the reason

[twin venture]

i dont need latest things added to the only make the server lagging

[tender shard]

I don't have any problems with that, I'm just here to explain WHY it doesnt work

[tender shard]

a string is not a boolean

you cannot do if("mfnalex")

[frank kettle]

for your server sure, but for most of servers and playerbase, the newest versions are the best for what they have added and allow developers to do.

[twin venture]

i added support for all versions in my plugin , but the base ver is 1.8.8

[frank kettle]

if your plugin can work with it, sure.

[twin venture]

i used :
https://github.com/CryptoMorin/XSeries

[wet breach]

eventually developers will stop supporting 1.8

[twin venture]

not sure if its allowed to share links for github .

[wet breach]

its allowed

[frank kettle]

not allowed, we dont like github

[twin venture]

this fixed all my problems with versions incompletable .

[frank kettle]

we use spigothub

[tender shard]

they should have done that 6 years ago

[frank kettle]

i will move the plugin to 1.13 and if anyone needs a older version i will just release on github that version

will see if that fixes the issue

[twin venture]

hi , a while back my plugin src was leaked by someone ..

is there a way i can make it hard to do it again?

[frank kettle]

everyone's plugins should be open source

[twin venture]

maybe , maybe not

my work i dont want to share it for free .

[frank kettle]

then sell the plugin and create ToS for its use

[twin venture]

i did , but still

[frank kettle]

i think most of whats allowed is to change the functions names to make it "less readable"

[hazy parrot]

Not really, as java is designed to be server side language anyways, it's easy to decompile

[twin venture]

there are some way's

[frank kettle]

@twin venture read spigot's terms about it and what you can do.
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/approved-obfuscators.420746/

[hazy parrot]

As miau already mentioned, you can just make it less readable

[twin venture]

Secured FTP Server that a launcher plugin connects to and from there it grabs the latest updated plugin.
Once downloaded into MEMORY not disk, it injects it into Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and simply load it
the launcher will need to be obfuscated and highly encrypted

this what i have been searching about for the last month

[frank kettle]

read the thread i sent

[twin venture]

i know , i uploaded my plugin to spigot , but it got denied

and i never uploaded it again

bcz of lake of descriptons xd

[frank kettle]

i was very annoyed before by the opportunity of people being able to "copy" my code but i just stopped caring and maybe it helps newer programmers to learn what they have to do to reach certain points. just like you, who im sure you have searched on google and copied answers on stackoverflow for anything, pretty sure you liked to find the answers you so much desired for and wished not everything was behind a paywall or never be able to be discovered.

[twin venture]

yeah , but i didn't invate anything new , its already made on server's

i just made a better version , highly customizable

[frank kettle]

then why do you care if people check the code?

[wet breach]

due to how connections work in the OS, it would still be downloaded to a temp directory

second, it doesn't prevent a profiler from seeing it, and third neither heapdumps. 4th you have no way to prevent someone from using the credentials

[twin venture]

those were the things that prevented me from finishing it .

[frank kettle]

setting plugin to version 1.13 and adding api-version 1.13 fixed the issue. thank you guys.

[twin venture]

i remmber there is a custom minecraft server version did it , i guess its fox-spigot?

it did something simmaler

[hazy parrot]

What are enum voids

[twin venture]

++

[remote swallow]

you dont need the title

[frank kettle]

event.getview

[remote swallow]

compare inventory instance not title

[tardy delta]

getTopInv()

[remote swallow]

if (!(e.getInventory() instance of PlayerInventory))

[frank kettle]

e.getClickedInventory().getType()

[tardy delta]

bottom inv is player inv

ij will suggest

[frank kettle]

inventoryClickEvent?

[remote swallow]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/InventoryView.html#getTopInventory()

that wasnt hard

[frank kettle]

why no?

checking clickedinventory is worse?

how so

please tell me why then

[tardy delta]

🤔

[frank kettle]

i used it and works fine

to check if player is moving items in the player inventory or the menu i want

why would it

i check view title beforehand

[remote swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/get-out-of-here-gif-19517415

[frank kettle]

[tardy delta]

if that man decides to use color codes, youre fucked up

[frank kettle]

oh I never released a plugin to others with that

i mean for my own private plugins

such "bugs" cant happen

[ivory sleet]

Two different inventories with the same title

[tardy delta]

cry

[chrome beacon]

Can you rename items with colors on your server

[frank kettle]

whats the problem with using §? 🤔

[remote swallow]

you have to go googling for it

ChatColor.translateAlternameColorCodes('&', "&5my cool string") easier

[frank kettle]

cant find anything, feel like § is a hard searching char

[ivory sleet]

I’d just say long story short, the alternatives you can choose between are better

[frank kettle]

💀 "easier"

[remote swallow]

or for me i only have to use Formatting.format("<red>my cool &5string")

[remote swallow]

tab complete be like

[ivory sleet]

You mix <> and and & ?

[frank kettle]

so whats the issue with it?

[ivory sleet]

What a maniac

[frank kettle]

🤔

[remote swallow]

it makes it easier imo

legacy serializer great

[remote swallow]

most of the time i just end up using mm format

[frank kettle]

how's those easier?

if u have to write way more

🤔

[ivory sleet]

Its not about writing less

[remote swallow]

but i use it in public plugin so and people are dumb

[remote swallow]

✨ tab complete ✨

[ivory sleet]

If thats the case, just install every 3rd library spigot has to offer

[frank kettle]

and then u have to use the util instead of a simple §

[frank kettle]

can you explain?

[remote swallow]

does your ide not come with tab complete

do you not have this popup when you type

[ivory sleet]

§ is first and foremost pretty inexpressive, what does it mean?

[frank kettle]

well yeah but im just used to writing § for colors instead of the others that its way easier for me to write it instead of the whole chatcolor....

[remote swallow]

you would still have to find that char

[ivory sleet]

Sure it might be a convenience to write

[frank kettle]

i use it for my private plugins when it's my own messages writing 🤔

trying to understand why is it bad for "potential bugs"

so it's just a convenience issue? not really something bad?

[quaint mantle]

ColorChat has translation thing

[ivory sleet]

Sounds like everything you do is for ur private plugins, and just because some obscure legacy practice does not involve conceivable bugs does not inherently imply that there exists no issues regarding that practice.

[remote swallow]

we know

[ivory sleet]

But anyway, § at least works

Its just that there are better alternatives

[frank kettle]

it's just that it's been workign fine for me and I'm tryign to understand if it will bring some issue so i can fix it

[ivory sleet]

And support for § is thinkably gonna get yeeted

[frank kettle]

i feel like i need to work on a lot of other things before some § "not issue" thing

[frank kettle]

if it happens i will just do it the other ways, anyways for my newest plugins I've been making a util for chatcolor messages

[ivory sleet]

Mye good luck

I use minimessage

Aren’t there 1000 of them on spigot

[tardy delta]

do people call ( a bracket or parenthesis in math context?

[native nexus]

Brackets because Bedmas

[tardy delta]

and what is bedmas

[native nexus]

Brackets exponents division multiplication addition subtraction

[tardy delta]

smh my error messages are fucked up then

[native nexus]

It’s used to remember the order of operations

But I think it’s fine to use parentheses also?

[tardy delta]

"missing closing parenthesis" sounds better than "missing closing bracket"

[native nexus]

Then use missing parentheses

Also parenthesis is the American way of spelling so my bad

Oh wait nvm

[tardy delta]

whatever

[native nexus]

It’s grammer

[tardy delta]

whos gonna use this anyway

[native nexus]

Parenthesis is one bracket and parentheses is two

[hazy parrot]

iirc tuple is just type of data structure

so tuple with two elements would be pair

[native nexus]

Tuples are immutable and lists are mutable

well, after a bit of testing, spawning ~2k falling blocks causes big fps drops even with a good gpu.
but armor stands with blocks as helmet doesnt produce any fps drop at all.
the problem is that a block in an armor stand's head is smaller than 1x1 blocks, so is it possible somehow to make it bigger?

[hazy parrot]

yap

[fluid cypress]

and about blocks with variants (like fences or glass pane connected to certain directions and stuff like that), is it possible to specify that somehow? if not i guess i could use falling blocks for that (assuming its possible to make the armor stand bigger)

is it any other way to create "fake" blocks that i can move freely at will? smoothly between blocks, with a natural transition basically

[echo granite]

what if I have adobe acrobat installed on the pc?

You need to use enginehub instead, sk89q was deprecated long ago

[heavy prairie]

hey i want a certain item to have a chance to be dropped when a block is broken but i have a small problem. i know how we get entity types but i dont know how we get broken block types so can anyone help me?

[remote swallow]

@EventHandler not @Override

[remote swallow]

b.getBlock().getType()

[heavy prairie]

oh sorry im just used to using @Override

[onyx fjord]

It uses event handler annotation for priority and shit

[remote swallow]

this would let you use Material.TYPE as case

[tardy delta]

Arrays.asList pls

[heavy prairie]

okay thank you

[onyx fjord]

Plz use normal variable names

b is not a good name for an event

[heavy prairie]

is block good

instead of b

[remote swallow]

use event

[onyx fjord]

But event is not a block sir

[onyx fjord]

This

[mellow edge]

I mean as long as you know what the name means (e.g. e instead of event) it's fine, but yeah, the full names are batter

[onyx fjord]

What if they need a variable for block itself

Imo we should all use human names for variables

Block block Event event Player player

Or contextual names

[tardy delta]

Player kacper

[mellow edge]

That's true, but too long names aren't really good, e.g. Player playerEntityLikesEatingIceCream

[livid dove]

So I have the code that will go chunk by chunk, recording every chunk in an array, then going back through that array , loading the chunk, detecting every tile entity and then deleting X item if that tile entitiy is a inventory holder.

But as you can probs imagine, timeout goes brt pretty quick, what can be done to resolve this?

async is obvs out of the question ofc

[naive bolt]

anyone know with this if i can select multiple to allow the plugin to work on spigot and bungee yk?

[lethal knoll]

That is just where you select a template for your project

I never really worked with making it compatible for anything else other then spigot

But you could use multiple modules If I remember correct

[chrome beacon]

^^

You need to set that up yourself

[naive bolt]

ah yeah ive done it before just wondered if their is an easier way

[mellow pebble]

can i ask question about minecraft generally not about spigot development the problem is caused by plugin

[wet breach]

anywhere between $20-$200

[torn shuttle]

isn't that service costs?

I mean in a for-hire context

[orchid gazelle]

//push

[dire marsh]

you can't get body rotation

[final monolith]

how i can disable that original- .jar from the maven build?

[dire marsh]

you can attempt to track it serverside but it will 100% desync at some point

[remote swallow]

you shouldnt need to because that would be the incorrect jar to use

[final monolith]

🤔

what you mean

[remote swallow]

the jar to use is the LvShopping 1.0-SNAPSHOT

[final monolith]

yeah, i know... But that other jar are getting me confused

[orchid gazelle]

It is just relative to the head rotation

It will always be the same pattern

[final monolith]

any way that i could remove it from the building?

still

ok xD thank you!!

[atomic swift]

Statistic.PLAY_ONE_MINUTE is in ticks right?

just making sure

should i divide it by 20 or by the tps

ye thx

[wet breach]

oh you want premade?

same price range

however you can find a lot of templates for like cheap though

and to build off of

[tender shard]

you need to have a plugin.yml for spigot, and a bungee.yml for the bungeecord plugin. the spigot main class must extend bukkit's "JavaPlugin" class, the bungee oen must extend bungee's "Plugin" class

so yeah definitely need at least two classes for the main classes

[tidal anchor]

hi i'm creating a command that resets all hearts to 26 hp(13 heart) and how do i do it

[tender shard]

set a player's maxHealth to 26

Attributable#getAttribute(Attribute)

it's called Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH

then set it's base value to 26

[wet breach]

it must extend either BasePlugin or JavaPlugin

[tidal anchor]

but how do i do it to all players and with a command

[wet breach]

BasePlugin for Libraries that don't act on their own though

bit of ancient knowledge for you

[remote swallow]

loop over online players

[wet breach]

that has now been bestowed

[tidal anchor]

i tried that but i can't get any player

with index

[tender shard]

spigot only includes a plugin loader for JavaPlugins

[wet breach]

nope

BasePlugin and JavaPlugin

been like that forever, but most people only use JavaPlugin and thus only know about that

[tender shard]

and which plugin loader would load that? Because JavaPluginLoader only accepts JavaPlugins

[remote swallow]

for (Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) player.getAttributes

[wet breach]

JavaPlugin extends BasePlugin

[tender shard]

I know how inheritance works

[remote swallow]

it extends PluginBase not BasePlugin

[tender shard]

I repeat the question - which plugin loader would load a plugin that's only a PluginBase but not a JavaPlugin

[wet breach]

this is what I meant

[wet breach]

the same one that has never changed

its from bukkit

[tender shard]

there is no pluginloader implementation in bukkit besides JavaPluginLoader

[remote swallow]

public String getJoinMessage(Player player) {
        String nickname = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player, nicknamePlaceholder);
        String message = player.getPersistentDataContainer().getOrDefault(plugin.joinMessageKey(), PersistentDataType.STRING, messageData.joinMessage())
                .replace("%color_1%", plugin.getChatColor1(player))
                .replace("%color_2%", plugin.getChatColor2(player))
                .replace("%nick%", nickname);
        return Utils.format(message);
    }

    public String getLeaveMessage(Player player) {
        String nickname = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player, nicknamePlaceholder);
        String message = player.getPersistentDataContainer().getOrDefault(plugin.leaveMessageKey(), PersistentDataType.STRING, messageData.leaveMessage())
                .replace("%color_1%", plugin.getChatColor1(player))
                .replace("%color_2%", plugin.getChatColor2(player))
                .replace("%nick%", nickname);
        return Utils.format(message);
    }
``` can anoyne see how dafork if its getting something from pdc

[wet breach]

PluginBase if you choose to extend it, is meant for libraries that don't need to do anything on their own and this lets the lib live in the plugins directory without the server complaining about it

[wet breach]

and it loads PluginBase

[eternal night]

nothing loads plugin base lol

[wet breach]

because it doesn't need to be loaded

[eternal night]

pretty much

[tender shard]

exactly

[wet breach]

pretty much not

both of you have obviously never used it

[eternal night]

LOL

[tender shard]

frostalf why can't you, only once in your life, just admit that you're not always 100% correct

[wet breach]

go prove you can't use it

[tender shard]

there is no plugin loader for plugins other than JavaPlugin

[tender shard]

I juts did that. There's no loader in bukkit for it

[wet breach]

no actually make a library that extends it

see if the server complains about it 🙂

[tender shard]

lol

[eternal night]

you can create an instance of it and pass it around if that is what you mean

like

[tidal anchor]

can some one just help me

[tender shard]

?ask

[undone axle]

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!

[wet breach]

It is for libraries so they can exist in the plugins directory without the server complaining about it but still being on the path

you don't get to use things like onEnable() or any of that

its literally for libraries that don't act on their own

[remote swallow]

loop over Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers, get their attributes and set the base health

[tidal anchor]

ok

[eternal night]

what the fuck would a library that does not need to act on its own require a plugin instance for

[tender shard]

the server tries to load ANY file ending with .jar from the plugins folder

[eternal night]

if it schedules things on the server, it would have to clean up

[wet breach]

it doesn't, which is why it doesn't get one

[tender shard]

no matter whether it contains a plugin.yml or whether the referenced main calss is a JavaPlugin

[wet breach]

if you think I am wrong you can always ask md5 about it though 🙂

[tender shard]

then it tries to instantiate that class and cast it, and then it'll throw an exception if its not actually a ajvaplugin

[eternal night]

what is the point of PluginBase then

[tender shard]

just lok at the source code of the simplepluginmanager class

[eternal night]

if your lib does not need a plugin

[wet breach]

as I said, the server will complain about jars in the plugin directory if they are not valid plugins

extending plugin base allows it to exist there without problems and be on the path

there is plenty of libs that don't need to do anything on their own

[tender shard]

so you create a .jar file, add a "main class" property to it, and that given main class then is NOT a java plugin?

that's what you're trying to say?

[wet breach]

i don't understand this sentence

public class MyPlugin extends PluginBase {

}

this is valid also libraries that extends plugin base don't require plugin.yml's either 🙂

[tender shard]

no, it's not, that won't compile since you didnt override any of the abstract methods

[wet breach]

which ones

[tender shard]

all the ones

[wet breach]

PluginBase doesn't have onEnable

doesn't even have disable

[tender shard]

a class that would actually extend PluginBase would have to implement all these methods

[eternal night]

when was the last time you tried to write a library like that

as a quick question

[wet breach]

no it doesn't

[tender shard]

it does

[eternal night]

frost realisting PluginBase is an abstract class

[tender shard]

ofc it does, PluginBase is abstract and implements Plugin, which is an interface

so you gotta implement all the methods declared in the interface

that's how it works

[tidal anchor]

so how do i change the value of the individual players

[tender shard]

        Player player = null; // ...
        player.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH).setBaseValue(26);

[wet breach]

anyways no issue, my IDE usually implements defaults for such things

[eternal night]

LOL

[wet breach]

point is, you can extend PluginBase

[eternal night]

no that was not your point xD

[wet breach]

yes it was

[eternal night]

also that is still wrong

[tender shard]

yeah I'm sure thi'll work juuust fine /s

[tidal anchor]

no how do i get in players from this list : Collection players = Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers();

[wet breach]

want to prove that wrong that you can not extend PluginBase?

[tender shard]

loop over the collection

[eternal night]

the logic that reads the plugin dir literally checks for plugin.yml first

[wet breach]

I will wait till md5 is on and you can hear it from him

[eternal night]

and errors if it cannot find one

no check for anything else before

[tender shard]

noone said that you cannot extend it, we just said that the server couldn't load a plugin that's not a javaplugin

I stand my ground though that it's totally pointless to extend PluginBase

[wet breach]

I said you either have to extend PluginBase or JavaPlugin one of the two, albeit I said it backwards for PluginBase

you said no

[tidal anchor]

i know java but it doesn't let me get the players when I do the for loop

[tender shard]

and I said the server cannot load a plugin that's not a javaplugin, which is true

[wet breach]

anyways obviously you never used it

[eternal night]

nor does it add jars in the plugin folder without a plugin yml to the classpath

it breaks

[tender shard]

if you cannot loop over a collection, then your knowledge of java is so limited that you should read one of the tutorials I sent above

[tender shard]

lmao

I'm out, this discussion is pointless again

[wet breach]

yeah it is

you obviously never used it and are trying to explain it can't be used

[eternal night]

actually frost, want to code up an example of your "library jar"

that I can just yeet into my plugins folder

and have the server load it

[tidal anchor]

i created the for loop normaly but what do i put inside

[tender shard]

I know why you cannot use it. Because there's no plugin loader for it
