[minor fox]

I must say it looks very impressive. Would they sue if it was free of charge though?

[dry yacht]

Yes, because literally nobody would buy their minecraft integration plugin anymore: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/head-database.14280/

The API is free to use, but they rely on the fact that it's a pain in the ass to use their website and their search algorithm, which is why that would blow everything they offer out of the water.

[pseudo hazel]

anyways, I am working on my plugin and want to do some minigame using player Statistics, now the question I have is how would I make a system that can keep track of a certain statistic for each world per player of the game. my first solution is to use a map of the players current progress and their actual statistic progress as determined by the server to compare them and get the progress for the game, but idk if there is a better solution

and if there is a way to reset a player's statistics

[quaint mantle]

depends on how you store them.

[pseudo hazel]

lets say I have a task like mine 10 stone

then the player might already have an existing amount of stone mined on the server from another source, so I dont want to count that

[dry yacht]

You're going to need to track your progress separately anyways.

[quaint mantle]

just listen to block break events?

[pseudo hazel]

thats just an example

[dry yacht]

If you want to scope them per world, you're going to just have one progress listener per target world, which stores the progress on it's instance. You can later persist these.

[pseudo hazel]

but how do I listen for progress on a statistic

[torpid blaze]

Hey, Many Servers have signs in the lobby to join a specific Minigame. But how do they comunicate between the minigame server and the lobby about the amount of players and when the game starts. Do they do that with Webhooks and if, is there another way to to this?

[dry yacht]

Listen to a big amount of events, :))

[pseudo hazel]

I want to able to use all statistics, and the event is not sufficient

[quaint mantle]

there are many ways of doing that though, not just one.

[pseudo hazel]

and it doesnt help thats its not documented what statistics it does and does not keep track of

[quaint mantle]

minecraft servers do display the amount of players currently online when you ping them.

[pseudo hazel]

I am talking about teh PlayerStatisticsIncrementEvent or smth like that

[dry yacht]

You're talking about this? https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Statistics

[pseudo hazel]

yes those statistics

[quaint mantle]

you know in the server list for your client where you can see the number of players online per server?

[mortal hare]

Man there are so many brigadier goodies just locked outside from bukkit api

[quaint mantle]

what is that?

[mortal hare]

mojang internal command api

Bukkit api wraps it so primitively

but its for backwards compat

[dry yacht]

Yeah, those are scoped per world already, if I read that correctly. So you'd have to define some t0 point in time, from which you count, so you know what to subtract later on. Then, you'd just need to listen to the PlayerStatisticIncrementEvent.

[pseudo hazel]

I doubt they are tracked per world

well actually

[pseudo hazel]

idk how does minecraft know what nether and end belong to which overworld

[dry yacht]

Maybe they just misuse "world" for all worlds, don't know, you'd have to test

[icy beacon]

is PlayerLeaveEvent called when the server shuts down? if so, is there a way to detect that?

[dry yacht]

Huh? There's a nether and end per world on your server? xD

[quaint mantle]

maybe it is something like <name of the world folder>_end and <name of the world folder>_nether?

[pseudo hazel]

and on top of that , this event does not post all for all statistics

well yeah lets take singleplayer for example

it would just have statistics for all 3 worlds in the same menu

but I know in singleplayer it might work a little different

[dry yacht]

Test it out. But you know in onDisable() or the PluginDisableEvent that all Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() will have to leave soon, if that's not triggered.

[dry yacht]

Uhm, are you sure? The name kind of indicates that...

[pseudo hazel]

well its wrong

in the docs it says it doesnt post for stats like distance walked

which makes sense

since its measured in cm

[dry yacht]

Otherwise, you could check raw GameEvents

[pseudo hazel]

meaning it would overrun the whole event system xD

no gameevent doesnt have all cases

well I guess I will make something complicated again xD

here I go with my "simple" ideas

[dry yacht]

I thought you were crazy, but I really judged to quickly, xDD.

[vast raven]

Hi, I've got a question, I'm placing a blocking using setType(), the problem is: since I'm in legacy and I need a Fern Itemstack, I've to set the material to LONG_GRASS and a durability in the ItemStack constructor to get the Fern, but if I change the block using setType(fern.getType()), he would get LONG_GRASS as type

[pseudo hazel]

yeah ikr

[thorn crypt]

Hey, so I used your code and it work pretty well, just that I can't break blocks because the slime is little bigger than the blocks, and when I try to change the size, it's a too small, is there any way to fix it ?

[vast raven]

I think the solution is in the block state, but I never done that so idk

[pseudo hazel]

oh wait is that the source? so that means these are the only ones not tracked by the event then

[dry yacht]

Yeah, that's from the craftbukkit source. No idea what version, something recent. I'm just searching around for a way to get a hold of these statistic changes.

[dry yacht]

Okay, I would know of a way to get callbacks for these statistics, but it's so dirty that I have a hard time even writing about it, lol

[lost matrix]

Remove the slime as soon as the player starts digging

[pseudo hazel]

well I decided to use a timer to check for them periodically as I dont need it to be precise to the same tick or whatever

I already use a timer for the game itself that ticks every second

[chrome beacon]

Why not use a shulker?

[pseudo hazel]

and I dont need to check all stats for every game, just a subset

[dry yacht]

I hope that periodic check is executed asynchronously, as it's gonna be a shit load of iterations. Basically all statistics for all players, xD.

[dry yacht]

Oh, okay

[pseudo hazel]

at most its 36 statistics per player

and most probably being the ones that can be tracked using the event

[lost matrix]

Dont they have the same hitbox? Also their head is sometimes visible.
But yeah he could change 2 lines and try out a shulker box

[chrome beacon]

Head is visible

Forgot about that

[dry yacht]

Hmm, alrighty, whatever works for you! :). I think I'm going to try out the hook real quick, just out of curiosity. That would very likely be more efficient, but again - more dirty.

[thorn crypt]

Nope they do not have same hitbox, but we see the head for a little but tbh it doesn't disturb

[heady spruce]

How can I check if someone has made an rod crit to an player (im on 1.8.9)

For anyone that doesn't know what an rod crit is, its bassicly an player rods another player, then instantly switches to the sword and give the enemy an crit hit. This will then double the damage taken to the enemy.

[pseudo hazel]

I see, thanks for the help though 😄

[thorn crypt]

but I also saw something intersting, isn't it possible to do the same with colored marker ?

[lost matrix]

Then change the entity type in the spawn packet and remove the slime size from the metadata packet

[thorn crypt]

Yup I already did it before sending the message ^^

[vast raven]

Any hint?

[lost matrix]

?1.8

[undone axle]

https://howoldisminecraft188.today/

[vast raven]

That's a lot

btw I'm using 1.12.2, 1.8 def sucks

[lost matrix]

You need to set the item data of your block and not the ItemStack

[rough drift]

Can I just 100% disable world gen?

[chrome beacon]

Make your own world generator that returns empty chunks

[rough drift]

Yeah but I just need to disable the minecraft:world gen

[chrome beacon]

Or if you don't want more chunks set the world border

[vast raven]

Wait, wdym

[lost matrix]

In legacy versions blocks have magic values. Some int which defines which variant the block is.
I think you need to set this value to something.

[vast raven]

That's what I was looking for, now it's googling time for these "magic values"

I didn't even know the existence of them

[dry yacht]

Well, that would work: https://paste.md-5.net/gibabiziko.java
Output: https://paste.md-5.net/qaqiyukefi.css

I'm really wondering what would be more efficient, polling every n ticks or using this as a means to get interrupted whenever a statistic changed. Honestly, I think your solution will be better, just wanted to check how often these statistics are actually updated, for curiosity's sake, xD.

[pseudo hazel]

hmm

i see

[dry yacht]

Because it's really spammy. I kinda underestimated that, xD

[pseudo hazel]

yeah I figured

[eternal oxide]

less spammy than the move event

[dry yacht]

Even that has a threshold, so it's not that spammy

[pseudo hazel]

well...

[lost matrix]

Interesting idea injecting a proxy map to fetch when values change

[thorn crypt]

I'm trying to remove it but I don't know how to get it since it's a packet 😅

[lost matrix]

Wait isnt there a StatisticChangeEvent already?

[dry yacht]

I feel so dirty for doing that... :(. But sometimes it seems like the only way, if you want real time notifications. And it wouldn't matter how many plugins do this, they just chain up proxies, xDD.

[dry yacht]

It doesn't call the event for spammy statistics.

[lost matrix]

Ah i see

Triggered

[dry yacht]

Well, that's just my own notation of <parent>__<member>. Ideas for improvement are always welcome, :).

[lost matrix]

How does this work internally because this looks hella expensive

[dry yacht]

What looks expensive?

It just checks for the invoked method name and extracts the required information from the args if applicable, and always routes back to the vanilla map. No idea how the proxy works under the hood tho.

[lost matrix]

The anonymous class you pass there

[dry yacht]

That's the java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler, which in essence is an interface with just a single method.

[lost matrix]

Well all you can hope is that the JIT compiles your method invocations fast...

[dry yacht]

Oh, you're talking about the overhead I add to calling methods on the map because of the reflection "relay"?

[lost matrix]

As well as getting the method handle in the first place, which is not cheap

[dry yacht]

Not sure if I understand what you're getting at, because both method handles are known. The proxy (very likely) caches those, so the only overhead is using reflect to call methods, instead of "native" calls.

[quiet ice]

those are MethodHandles, right?

Not reflection Methods?

[lost matrix]

I think InvocationHandler uses java lang reflect Methods

[dry yacht]

They are reflection methods, not my wrappers, as the proxy only operates on java lang stuff. My wrappers don't add any cost either tho, they are just singleton wrappers which add separate features

[quiet ice]

Good thing for you that reflection now uses method handles internally

[dry yacht]

Oh, so you're talking about something entirely different

[quiet ice]

But for older versions that is a performance issue irrespective of whether they are cached

[lost matrix]

Cached methods still have an overhead

[quiet ice]

I myself generally make such proxies through just a wee little bit of ASM

[lost matrix]

Man i really need to jmh benchmark method invocations in newer versions

[dry yacht]

All I can say is that I expect the Proxy to behave as efficient as possible, and that I don't know of any other way to get called whenever a map is being modified, xD.

I don't think the overhead is of any significance, but I guess a little timing wouldn't hurt.

[dry yacht]

Yeah, that's... the next level solution, :)

[quiet ice]

https://github.com/Geolykt/EnchantmentsPlus/blob/4xx/src/main/java/de/geolykt/enchantments_plus/compatibility/hackloader/Hackloader.java#L71-L191 not too hard tbh

[lost matrix]

Well method invocations in java 8 could be from anywhere between 20x and 100x slower

*Pre JIT

[dry yacht]

The thing is that I'd guess that they do quite some optimization under the hood. It's not like these are two dynamically fetched methods, both of them are known and this is the application for a Proxy.

[quiet ice]

I wouldn't be too surprised if there aren't any optimisations for Proxy

[dry yacht]

Looks interesting! :). It surely isn't hard, but it requires quite the knowledge of java bytecode. I still have some learning to do on that part, :-:

[quiet ice]

the worst thing is one knowing how a method descriptor works and knowing that doubles are longs are of computational category 2 and thus occupy 2 slots in the local variable table

(doubles and longs are the worst thing to happen to JVM bytecode tbh)

[gloomy gust]

Bson not being built into plugin jar

[small hawk]

Is there a method to grab how much time of ban left from the banned-players file ?

[tardy delta]

banentries

[dry yacht]

2.789042ms
10.712125ms

First is 1M calls without the proxy, second is 1M calls with the proxy just rerouting, not doing any additional work. I guess it would be fine for what I used it for, but it's really hardly optimized.

Hi, i want count all items from custom itemstack in inventory, java public int amount(Player p){ int amount=0; for (ItemStack is : p.getInventory().all(coin.coin()).values()) { //gets all Stacks with the specific Material //checks, if the damage is correct amount = amount + is.getAmount(); //adds the amount of the stack to the counter amoun } return amount; } this every time returns 0

[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.

[quiet ice]

Although, I guess that even in the real world you won't reflect that often. The method bodies themselves will make up most of the difference

[lost matrix]

Usually you dont want to reflect at all... At least not like that. Only for meta programming and you would use a lot of Annotations for that.

But yeah 15x is still quite a bit

[lost matrix]

all() will only consider items where the items NBT and the amount match

[ivory depot]

So, how to count ItemStacks? i have defined ItemStack with custom name and lore, and i want to count all of this in player's inventory

[lost matrix]

Iterate over the inventory and check every slot with isSimilar on your coin item.
Then add the amounts.

[ivory depot]

okay, thx

[tardy delta]

Inventory#all(Predicate<ItemStack>) where \👀

[rough drift]

Parent.Child.update()

should I do something like this? (Rather than calling it ParentChild.update())

Just for style points tbh

[tardy delta]

what context

[rough drift]

It's mostly a utility class

well utility classes

And I have one utility that adds to another

[pseudo hazel]

usually utility classes if thats even a thing, dont use inheritance

[rough drift]

Yeah they don't

static classes

just wanted to know some naming for better context

rather than doing Parent.updateChild()

[pseudo hazel]

I usually have an update method on the child

[rough drift]

Mainly because Parent already has like 6 methods

don't want to make it responsible for Child as well

[pseudo hazel]

then dont make it a parent

[graceful oak]

Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of generating custom ores or even just changing vanilla ore generation? I have been trying to find anything to get me started but I cant seem to find anything.

[pseudo hazel]

since parents are responsible for its children

[rough drift]

I mean it's not exactly a parent, I just figured giving more context to a subset of methods would be sort of making it a parent/child thing

Where the methods are still technically of Parent, just wanted some better naming for em lmao

[pseudo hazel]

well then I would need to know the actual context since its a preference thing anyways

[buoyant viper]

if only it worked like this irl

[pseudo hazel]

it should xD

[buoyant viper]

some of these children get no parenting and it shows

[rough drift]

Well I figured naming it ParentChild would work better

[pseudo hazel]

but just like bad code it can fail

[rough drift]

no need to make a sub class

It's really like

NameCategory

[tawny remnant]

When mined STONE it drops an XP orb but the xp orb does not give me any xp. What to do?
https://paste.md-5.net/puvotalayi.java

[rough drift]

but whatever

[rough drift]

You need to set the orb's level

[tawny remnant]

any link?

[pseudo hazel]

again, without context I cant give a better answer

[rough drift]

world.spawn(location, ExperienceOrb.class, orb -> {
  orb.setExperience(20);
});

You can use the spawn method to apply things to the entity pre-spawn

[tawny remnant]

thanks

[rough drift]

also

please store player and inventory into a variable

easier to read

and

@tawny remnant

FYI don't use lore to store enchantments

?pdc is a better alternative

[undone axle]

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

[rough drift]

you can still display the enchantments in the lore, but you should really query from pdc

[graceful oak]

Anyone got any idea on this?

[tawny remnant]

yeah but i like it this way 😅

[rough drift]

Trust me, it'll be easier to read later on lmfao

did the same thing as you

[pseudo hazel]

your loss

[rough drift]

Sadly I don't really, never seen anybody do that tbh

maybe you can check some mc source and see how they do generation

[pseudo hazel]

people have to fail at it to see why it should be changed

[rough drift]

then apply that in a chunk generator

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/generator/ChunkGenerator.html @graceful oak

Might work

[haughty storm]

How can I deobfuscate nms so the method names arent a() or b()

[rough drift]

?buildtools is the way

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

[rough drift]

add --remapped to get deobfuscated

[eternal oxide]

?nms

[undone axle]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[rough drift]

also that

[graceful oak]

Thanks ill try to figure soemthiong out

[rough drift]

https://github.com/DerFrZocker/Custom-Ore-Generator you can also check this maybe @graceful oak

not made by me

uses NMS though

an easier way is on chunk load, if the chunk doesn't have a pdc key, set it and replace some part of stone with the ore

that way it only gens once

and is a bit easier to do

though it ain't the best way imho

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/world/ChunkLoadEvent.html

oh wait yeah you can just use isNewChunk()

no need to store pdc

wait nvm

@graceful oak sorry for pinging again lmfao, https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/generator/BlockPopulator.html

this is the thing that is meant to do block generation

you can use it to generate ores

[graceful oak]

ok thank you for all of this

[frank kettle]

Why do cats get affected by scoreboard teams prefixes/sufixes?

Cats or other tamed animals I guess

[native nexus]

Probably because the code is checking livingentities and not just a player

[frank kettle]

It's checking players

And then adds the player as a OfflinePlayer to the Team

[native nexus]

Do you have a snippet of the code?

[frank kettle]

I'm out right now but I can send in like 2 hours 😭😭

Someone sent me this from my server

[wet breach]

they belong to the player

[charred blaze]

is there any event of potion drink?

is there any event of reborn with totem?

[wet breach]

the technical reason why this happens is that the prefix relies on getting the team from the player using OwnerUUID NBT tag. The only way to prevent tamed animals from being affected is with packets

Huh? It's the meme of overcomplicating simple things.

Oh, theme

omg, it's too late

[dry yacht]

That's halcyon

[hybrid spoke]

ah thanks

[mortal hare]

what kind of monstrosity i've made

i've managed to hook brigadier to bukkit api

so basically to have a hybrid of both lmao

it doesnt use minecraft fallback prefix as you can see

wow

var x = 100; this is legal java declaration

since java 10

so basically i've had auto type from cpp and i didnt knew anything about it

[dry yacht]

I did something similar once, only difference being that I didn't go through hooking into brigadier, I just wrote my own little highlighter, xD.

[dry yacht]

Tbh, it's not really helpful anyways. You're basically giving up some of the strong typing a language like Java offers.

[mortal hare]

it doesnt lose its type

as you can see intellij fully autocompletes that

[tall dragon]

i dont like em

[dry yacht]

Of course not, but the compiler - your best friend - won't complain anymore. If you call a function and store the result in a var, the only thing that matters is that all call sites using that variable still work. The underlying object could have changed to a point where it's not even assignable anymore. It obscures things, there's nothing good about it. I wouldn't look up to cpp features, as cpp is a steaming pile of shit and a huge featurecreep.

[mortal hare]

auto does work correctly on cpp

it just simplifies the type

[dry yacht]

...

[mortal hare]

it does compile the same as if I wrote it

if i had an compile time error

auto would also prevent that

at least in cpp

        new crateRewards(player);
    }
}

Why the hell does this make particles fly to the moon, and not just two blocks?

[mortal hare]

im not sure if that's the problem, but maybe because your i starting point is 0

and multiplying each of the components of vector by 0 would return you a normalized vector of (0,0,0)

although im not sure

[analog thicket]

Well it says the starting point is at 104

and particle loc is 107

106*

For some reason it sets the distance to 362??

[mortal hare]

what i mean is that your for loop starts at 0

[analog thicket]

hmm could be lemme try something else

[mortal hare]

you're multiplying by scalar value of 0

If a vector is multiplied by zero, the result is a zero vector (0,0,0).

[analog thicket]

I started it at 1 this time, still flying to the moon

Also it worked before when i didnt have it in its own class

[mortal hare]

what's the distance

can you output it?

[sterile token]

can you add the java keyword please, so itsbetter to read?

[analog thicket]

Yep i output it it comes out at 362..

[mortal hare]

yea i just realised that the zero multiplication would work just fined here because you clone the objects

[analog thicket]

There you go

[sterile token]

thank you

[mortal hare]

well then something is wrong with code above particle code

[sterile token]

its really better reading now

[analog thicket]

Didn't even know you could do it

[analog thicket]

Yep cant see what tho

[sterile token]

You can do it for many:

java, javascript, typescript, C#, Rust, etc
yaml, xml, json, toml

[mortal hare]

even assembly

mov eax, 1

[sterile token]

Also one recomendation for better coding, classes must be named using capital letters. Its specified on Java conventions and its pretty recommended to follow them

[wet breach]

what is the size of i?

[tardy delta]

move 1 to accumulator registry?

just guessing

[analog thicket]

In for loop?

[mortal hare]

do you mean distance? its the distance that's at fault

[wet breach]

I know it is

but it helps to know what the size of i

is

because if its a large value that would explain why its going crazy

[analog thicket]

Yeah thats true, lemme just check

[wet breach]

also you don't check for negative values

[analog thicket]

Yep thats the problem

[analog thicket]

Negativ values like?

[sterile token]

-100 20 200

[mortal hare]

no shit sherlock 😄

[sterile token]

no need to bully

[mortal hare]

soz

[analog thicket]

Arh, but yep i goes crazy

[wet breach]

Vector direction = particleLoc.subtract(chestLoc).toVector();
when subracting vectors, you can have a negative vector

[sterile token]

idk what im doing i had a too lang night i must be currently sleeping, i code whole night and didnt even go to sleep

[sterile token]

What ive said ¿?

🤣

[wet breach]

kind of, but not quite

[sterile token]

right

[orchid gazelle]

Seems like an average day for me

[wet breach]

Anyways, in either case, first should start with knowing what values it is obtaining

[mortal hare]

good thing i have uni lectures tomorrow at 12AM

[orchid gazelle]

But I know what im doing when coding at like 4am lol

[wet breach]

otherwise how else you suppose to check if the math is correct if we don't got any numbers 😛

[sterile token]

yeah that its the devs lifestyle, working too much, hard and sleeping few hours, sometimes not even sleeping

[orchid gazelle]

good thing I have school at 6.30am

[sterile token]

Yeah me too ofc, but i have been coding for 9/10 easly without counting time for drinking, eating, toilet

[orchid gazelle]

Well I gotta get up at 6.30 and go to school at 7.05

[analog thicket]

How would i fix the "i" problem?

[mortal hare]

i've used to code till 3 AM and get up at 7AM

but i cant imagine doing this anymore

[orchid gazelle]

The what problem??

[mortal hare]

i felt like i was rotting from the inside

[analog thicket]

In my for loop, the i for some reason reaches 362..

[orchid gazelle]

Show me your loop please

[sterile token]

oh weird, i used to get 5m before classes because the school where i used to go, is less than 2 blocks from home

[analog thicket]

Here

[orchid gazelle]

And whats wrong about the loop?

[mortal hare]

well my school was 2km from my home location

[orchid gazelle]

It adds .1 each iteration and compares it to the distance

[mortal hare]

and i always went to it by foot

[analog thicket]

Oh wait, i meant how would i fix the distance problem.. it should only come out to 2

[orchid gazelle]

I am going 2km by foot too

[coral kelp]

can anyone make a rainbow animated text into a hex for me please?

[orchid gazelle]

And back

[mortal hare]

my man

[wet breach]

the magnitude of the vector is the velocity

[orchid gazelle]

When the distance is 2, its gonna iterate 20x in total

[analog thicket]

Dang im stupid it had .multiply at the end of the location "Particle"

[mortal hare]

i thought this want intentional as if you were trying to make the particle "accelerate"

[analog thicket]

Hahah nope just me being stupid...

Is there a .add instead of .multiply, because .add isnt it..

Please note that Copy-Pasting that won't make it work automaticly

[coral kelp]

Is it possible for example deluxetags if I made separate name tags and right clicked on different ones they will run different commands but not effect the main name tag?

[orchid gazelle]

Yes

[coral kelp]

Is it okay if you can show me an example in DMs or something please

[orchid gazelle]

No example for it, just gotta identify the nametag(idk how you specificly wanna do that) and run it based on that

[coral kelp]

Yes but I don’t want to effect the actual name tag

[orchid gazelle]

effect what?

[coral kelp]

So for example deluxetags I wanted to rename a name tag and then when players right click it runs a command giving the player the same name as that name tag

Then once right clicked disappeared

Wdym

Alright I’m new so I don’t even know where or how

Lmao

[opaque scarab]

Does it seem like a bad idea not to use a database for storing custom data for a player, such as their rank and wealth? Although it’s easier not to use such a system, are there dangers in using other methods?

[coral kelp]

Could you dm me link to the page when it’s uploaded?

[orchid gazelle]

Well if its a private server, I'd personally always prefer using a database because of things like access from other services, easier management and administration

[opaque scarab]

This would be for a public server, so probably using a database would have even more advantages in that case, right?

[coral kelp]

My deluxe tags won’t work with essentials chat for some reason

[orchid gazelle]

By private server I mean a server that is privately managed and not some system that will be uploaded and used by different unknown servers

[opaque scarab]

Oh, makes sense.

[opaque scarab]

Thanks

[orchid gazelle]

For things like ranks and wealth I would definitely use a database(in that case some SQL-engine like mariadb)

You can easily scale that and access data from different services like different servers, or even integration from lets say a discord bot or a website easily

[coral kelp]

So how easy would you is it to create rank papers for example

[orchid gazelle]

What is rank papers

[coral kelp]

So say just a paper saying like Rank Note: Owner for example then once right clicked it runs lp user group parent set but on the places that right clicked only

[orchid gazelle]

Another 5 minutes of work lol

[coral kelp]

Ah right I need to learn that will there be any tutorials on how to do item that when right clicked runs commands cause I searched it and it just comes up with like right click counter on Minecraft and stuff

[orchid gazelle]

You are supposed to learn java and then the bukkit API

Not randomly try out stuff you read by copy-pasting something someone wrote on some forum

[mortal hare]

tbh splitting it have some pros

it allows decoupling of the separate instances

you can disable these events anytime you want just by removing the specified class listener

but i would use GUI api anyways

[dim gulch]

Hi. I know that this is probably a very common topic, but is there any plugin or other simple solution to keep entities active in a specific chunk? Something like /forceload x z, but to keep the entities loaded.

It can even be a fake player BOT placed under a farm to keep the nearby chunks entities loaded.

The way with BOTs and ProtocolLib seems quite complicated NGL. Something ready to use?

Thanks for help!

i cant replicate the argument coloring of brigadier no matter what

[primal goblet]

uhmm

[mortal hare]

        com.mojang.brigadier.tree.CommandNode<CommandSourceStack> bchildnode = Commands.literal("gg").then(Commands.argument("", DoubleArgumentType.doubleArg())).build();
        root.addChild(bchildnode);

results in

when native minecraft command /attribute achieves this:

i always get the cyan color no matter what

[remote swallow]

is it like param number colouring

[mortal hare]

i cant seem to grasp what's wrong

[remote swallow]

because the cyan is first on both

[mortal hare]

you see in attributes double is green

[primal goblet]

which is the best way to delete a world and reload it again (in case i edit the world's folder) cuz i have issues with load chunks, and the tps is so bad
btw, i can provide some code also

[mortal hare]

while in my example its cyan

[mortal hare]

wdym

[remote swallow]

its not basing it off the type

its basing it off where the arg is

if you add another arg to that command you might have it end up being yellow

[mortal hare]

but shouldnt player be gray then?

[remote swallow]

the first is literal

so its not a param they choose

it exists for them already

like how the get is gray

[mortal hare]

so its indepedent from arg type

[remote swallow]

yeah

i'm facing issue with my tps, when new world loaded the tps dead cuz of chunks

any can help?

[mortal hare]

preload them

[graceful oak]

Im trying to figure out how to change things with Minecraft chunk generation and im starting with just putting trees around the world. The reference video I found was from 10 years ago and I think im doing it correct with the new methods but I keep crashing I believe because I am trying to get a block that isn't generated in yet.

I am using populate and adding it to the worlds populators here is what I have so far

https://pastebin.com/WJ4tgus3

Im not sure exactly how the populate works but even if I add a way to check if the chunk is loaded in wouldn't the populate not run again since it would of had to run to crash in the first place?

[primal goblet]

how?

[mortal hare]

worldborder plugin allows you to do that

pregenerated chunks would take more disk space, but cheap to compute

[primal goblet]

@mortal hare then i'm gonna ask is that normal?

is this will decrease the performance?

[mortal hare]

did you check for lag machines

[primal goblet]

yep, the issues comes from the world chunk loaded

the details for the lag spike

[mortal hare]

hmm

i cant really help you rn

sorry

if someone can help, please let me know ur oponion

is thats not a development thing? cuz it happens to me when i try to copy a folder and load the world folder to spigot

[terse ore]

I don't know if I can ask here but is the most related, how could I get the player list of a server through a request?

when you reload the server in the server list you send a request for getting the player list, how could I replicate that?

[primal goblet]

do u mean an api request?

[terse ore]

I want to send a request to the server directly

and tbh I have no idea how to do this

I would like a link or some resource if possible

[primal goblet]

imo, i can just make a socket server and fetch the information from it

[graceful oak]

Does anyone know if the BlockPopulator works with the newest version of spigot I might just be dumb but every time I keep trying to do something I am crashing / freezing my server does anyone know how to use it that I can ask questions to?

You can simple send a ServerListPing packet to the server. Thats what the minecraft client does:
https://wiki.vg/Server_List_Ping

You can take a look at the packet format here:

Hi I am starting to make plugins, I just wanted to try to make a hello world plugin, but the import extends JavaPlugin on my main class isn't working. It doesn't give me an option to import. I have spigot 1.18.2 added as an external jar

[young knoll]

?bootstrap

[undone axle]

Bootstrap Jar
The main spigot-1.18.jar is now a bootstrap jar which contains all libraries. You cannot directly depend on this jar. You should depend on Spigot/Spigot-API/target/spigot-api-1.18-R0.1-SNAPSHOT-shaded.jar, or the entire contents of the bundler directory from your server, or use a dependency manager such as Maven or Gradle to handle this automatically.

Please read the release notes for further information: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/9-years-of-spigotmc-spigot-bungeecord-1-18-1-18-1-release.534760/#post-4305163

uhh how does supporting multiple versions of mc for a plugin work?

[knotty gale]

ok, ty for the help

[young knoll]

You need to make use of the provided LimitedRegion and the methods it contains (setBlockData, setBiome, etc)

[young knoll]

Depends if you are using NMS or not

[graceful oak]

I dont want it to be limited right now thought I want it to affect every chunk would I still need to use it?

[young knoll]

Yes

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/generator/LimitedRegion.html

Also see its super interfaces

[quaint mantle]

well it doesnt need any nms as of now

[graceful oak]

So I would just need to check if it is in the region and if its not just return or am I dumb?

[young knoll]

Then it’s generally as simple as putting the lowest api version you want to support in plugin.yml and using that versions api when developing

Spigot is generally forwards compatible

Although if you want to support pre 1.13 and post 1.13 you may want to consider a library like xMaterial

[graceful oak]

Sorry to keep bothering you but im still not quite understanding I see that I can use getBuffer to get an x and z coordinate but how would I use that to compare if I can change something in the chunk becuase if this is being ran wouldnt that mean the chunk is being generated also meaning that it would be too late to do what im doing?

[lost matrix]

You need to run BuildTools and grab the jar from your local repo. You will have the spigot-api jar in there which
you can just add to your project as an artifact.

[young knoll]

getBuffer tells you how far from the X and Z passed to the method you can safely modify

Well, how far away from that chunk actually

[graceful oak]

So I would multiple the chunkX and chunkZ and compare to the buffer to check if its safe to modify?

[young knoll]

The chunk at those coordinates should always be safe

The buffer tells you how far outside that chunk is safe

Show SwitchChild class

No @EventHandler annotation

https://pastebin.com/2PgbTAmW

[young knoll]

You can’t use the Chunk class

For a chunk that is being generated

You need to make use of the provided LimitedRegion and the methods it contains (setBlockData, setBiome, etc)

[graceful oak]

Oh so everywhere I set blocks I would use limited region instead of using the chunk and instead of getting the block I would use limited region to check it?

Yes

you can code it as such then the battle is over it saves your stuff

[quaint mantle]

not incase of a crash

im not 100% if onDisable is always called

i've heard rumors

[round finch]

i mean what more can you do it is really stopped

no more tasks

[young knoll]

You can serialize the inventory to yml easily enough

But something like a database is probably better

Either I only make it the first chunk because when I multiply by my x and y the first one is always 0 which is the first chunk. Then why I try to use 16 for the chunks it crashes when I move at all

[quaint mantle]

do you know how much space a base 64 string takes up?

[buoyant viper]

probably depends on the length of the string i think

[worldly ingot]

String#contains()

These are among the first few methods you learn when learning Java

I don't know what you mean "it only accepts chars". It accepts a CharSequence iirc which includes a String.

If you want to check if two strings are equal to another, you have equals() and equalsIgnoreCase()

If you're wanting the similarity between two strings, there are algorithms for that

https://www.baeldung.com/java-levenshtein-distance

[graceful oak]

I was able to figure out where I went wrong I corrected my math with the coordinates

[lost matrix]

iirc its about 120% of what was encoded

[graceful oak]

Quick question to check my math if I was scanning a chunk from top of world to bottom does this look correct for x and z coords?

int Xcord = (chunkX * 16) + X;
int Zcord = (chunkZ * 16) + Z;

X and Z are just in loops going from 0 to 15

The main reason I am questioning this is because when a chunk loads in im clearing out all of the ores and replacing with sponge just so I can visualize it and im noticing some ores aren't changing so im wondering if I am maybe skipping some blocks

https://pastebin.com/5CFYfieS
This is my full code if you need it

[worldly ingot]

Yes, LGTM

You can use a bitshift instead if you want to be fancy

[buoyant stag]

[graceful oak]

Im not really sure whats going on if it is scanning through all of the blocks because im ending up with this underground and while a majority of the ores are sponge now I still have some not changing

Hi, i try to make a placeholder %wommr_country% thats display the mmr of a country (assaultPlugin.getStorageManager().getMMR(country);
)

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

But this isnt working ig

[lost matrix]

How are you testing if this is working?

[bold vessel]

/papi parse me

[lost matrix]

Is the placeholder called?

[bold vessel]

wdym ?

[lost matrix]

Which of the placeholders methods are called?
I assume you debugged them

[lost matrix]

Add a debug message at every method here and tell us which methods get called, if any

[bold vessel]

i add a console.log (things like that) ?

[lost matrix]

! before any conditions, in the first line of your method

Sure

[bold vessel]

ok i try this

[lost matrix]

I think i see the problem already. params does not include the placeholder itself.

[bold vessel]

how do i fix this ?

[lost matrix]

Print out params in the first line of your onPlaceholderRequest method and you will see

[bold vessel]

ok i do this soon i need to finish somethings first

[quaint mantle]

I mean does it take up a lot of space to encode hunderds of itemstacks with base64?

in mongodb

[lost matrix]

Why would you worry about space in mongodb?
With a decent hard drive you can probably store data of millions of players in there.

[graceful oak]

Is it possible while using the populate I am beating Minecraft to putting the ores in the chunk because I checked the logs after printing out every block the plugin is replacing and the ores that don't get replaced are showing as stone when it checks them. If thats the case how can I solve this because im not really sure what I can do. I tried to add a delay but apparently I cant populate outside the tick it starts or something like that

[fierce whale]

Is there a way to save object in db?

[lone jacinth]

This is Caused because chunks can also change blocks in neighbor chunks. Let A und B be chunks which are next to each other. First Chunk A is being populated with vanilla featers than your block populator removes all ores. Now Chunk B gets the vanilla features, it generates a ore vein at the chunk border between chunk A and therfore extends the ore vein into Chunk A, which you already checked. After this you populator gets called on Chunk B which only limited the search to chunk B. This is how you end up with some blocks not converted to sponge.

[quaint mantle]

because the plugin isnt for me and I don't want to limit usage to people who have a large mongo for example I use free mongo's from mongodb cloud

[graceful oak]

Do you happen to know a easy solution to this or am I going to have to try and figure something out

[spice shoal]

`@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) {
Player p = e.getPlayer();
Location loc = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld("Crystal"), 86, 77, 312);

    if (p.hasPlayedBefore()) {
        e.setJoinMessage("ꑂ");
        e.setJoinMessage(ColorUtils.color_1("&f                             &#3bcf41&lBENTORNATO"));

        e.setJoinMessage("");
    }
}`

someone can help me to fix that?

don't send message onJoin

[lost matrix]

Yes there are many ways to save any object in any DB

[fierce whale]

How can I do that?

[lost matrix]

Is the listener registered?

[lost matrix]

Depends on your object and depends on the DB you want to use

[spice shoal]

ye

[lost matrix]

Any console errors?

[spice shoal]

nop

execute the command but don't send messages

[fierce whale]

Im using mysql

[lost matrix]

First of all: Dont teleport peopl onJoin. Use the PlayerSpawnLocationEvent for that:
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/spigotmc/event/player/PlayerSpawnLocationEvent.html

[lost matrix]

Are there messages from another plugin which overwrite your messages?

[spice shoal]

essential i think

[lost matrix]

Did you work with storing data in Files before? Because thats what you should start learning first.

[fierce whale]

Yeah. I always used yamlConfiguration

So I thought about serialize object to byteArray and save it

[lost matrix]

Well you already have your event priority on highest which means the other plugin has its priority also on highest (Which is completely stupid for join messages)
So if you really want to force it then you need to either disable the other plugin, depend on the other plugin (so that your listener is registered later)
or use the priority MONITOR which is a really bad way.

[fierce whale]

But I couldn't find save byteArray in mysql

[lost matrix]

That would be a blob, which is ok but then you cant execute queries on that.

[spice shoal]

oh ok thanks

[lost matrix]

Just Base64 encode your byteArray and store it as a String (If you really dont want to query any parameters on that).
Best practice would be: Serialize the object to json using a library like Gson and then store the json String in your DB.

[fierce whale]

ahha

Okay I got it

[fierce whale]

But everytime using String encoding doesn't slow?

[lost matrix]

Working with serialisations and IO (Databases or Files) is very slow. You should not do that on the main thread anyways.

[fierce whale]

does it mean use Async?

[orchid gazelle]

Yes, do it async

[fierce whale]

ahha Thx 🙂

[lone jacinth]

You can check if the Block you are replacing is at a chunk border and if so check also neighbor blocks and consume the ore vein.

[graceful oak]

I ended up just seaching 8 blocks into the neighboring chunks to check if the vein spread over thanks for the help

[bold vessel]

like this ?

or i use ?

[quaint mantle]

We need a plugin for ore like in Rusta

Stone, Iron, Sulfur (it’s not growing, but I have yes)

They appear on the surface of the earth. Not in the mines. And when poking, it decreases

You don’t need to get them by breaking them, you need to click on them

From a wooden pickaxe is extracted 2 pcs per click, with stone pickaxe 3 times, with iron pickaxe 4 times, with diamond pickaxe for 5

Who can do it?

Hi does someone know how to update the Player Entity metadata through NMS after spawning a NPC to allow the second skin layer to show up? They messed up with the packets on 1.19.3 and the old method used isn't working 😵‍💫

[lost matrix]

Show your old method
@opal sluice

[lost matrix]

Anyways here is the equivalent for changing Armorstands. Metadata now uses List<WrappedDataValue> for synchronisations.

  private void prepareMetaPacket() {
    this.metaPacket.getIntegers().write(0, this.fakeID);

    WrappedDataWatcher.Serializer byteSerializer = WrappedDataWatcher.Registry.get(Byte.class);
    WrappedDataWatcher.Serializer chatSerializer = WrappedDataWatcher.Registry.getChatComponentSerializer(true);
    WrappedDataWatcher.Serializer boolSerializer = WrappedDataWatcher.Registry.get(Boolean.class);

    List<WrappedDataValue> dataValues = new ArrayList<>();

    Byte flags = 0x20;
    dataValues.add(new WrappedDataValue(0, byteSerializer, flags));

    Optional<?> optChat = Optional.of(WrappedChatComponent.fromChatMessage(this.text.replace("&", "§"))[0].getHandle());
    dataValues.add(new WrappedDataValue(2, chatSerializer, optChat));

    Boolean nameVisible = true;
    dataValues.add(new WrappedDataValue(3, boolSerializer, nameVisible));

    Byte armorStandTypeFlags = 0x10;
    dataValues.add(new WrappedDataValue(15, byteSerializer, armorStandTypeFlags));

    this.metaPacket.getDataValueCollectionModifier().write(0, dataValues);
  }

You need to do the same with your meta packet for players. Just with different flags ofc.

[opal sluice]

Sorry was on the train had to change when I was writing the answer, but basically you could build each DataWatcher object and chug them into a list that could be send over the serializer to send it through the packet

Thx for the example, gonna make it fit to the player entity 😉

Is there a way to save String to mysql without length limit?
When I serialize some object to string, It's length is so long.

[warm light]

String is server name right?

[vocal cloud]

I imagine so. You can always try it and see

[vocal cloud]

TEXT shouldn't have a length although it opens it up to exploits

[warm light]

maybe use LONGTEXT?

[vocal cloud]

Hopefully they don't have to use LONGTEXT

[fierce whale]

What does exploit mean?

[vocal cloud]

Means that someone can use it to do bad (in theory). As long as whatever you're storing is known by you you're fine. If, for example, you store any object and someone makes an extremely large one they can take a server down my filling the db very fast.

[fierce whale]

Ahha I got it 🙂
As a result is it the best way to save object in database?

[vocal cloud]

Well it really depends what you're saving and why. It's a matter of "do you really need to save XYZ as a whole to the db"

[opal sluice]

The best way imo is to encode I to b64. Not losing data and fairly short text

Ofc, if you can avoid saving useless I formation that's better

But if you want to store full ItemStack objects for example, b64 is the way to go

[vocal cloud]

Use TEXT only if you absolutely need to you shouldn't need anything bigger. If you do then you're storing too much in one TEXT

Are you saying that

PDC == NBT

?

[drowsy helm]

pdc is a wrapper for nbt

so yes sort of

[vocal cloud]

PDC is a sanitized version

[green prism]

So, if MythicMobs supports custom NBT tags, I could identify a drop by reading the nbt tag.
Am I right?

[vocal cloud]

It prevents plugins from conflicting

[green prism]

WOAH, that's pretty cool

[vocal cloud]

Yes assuming mythic mob mobs drop custom items

[green prism]

yep

thank y'all

[drowsy helm]

i think mythic mobs would use a namespaced key though

If you need to rip raw NBT that's a bit more work

Shouldn't need to tho

You can fake a namespace key if need be anyways

Maybe creating an Util for reading NBTs could be more useful before proceeding writing that thing

Wait

Do I need a nsk to read a NBT?

[drowsy helm]

nah if you watch to serach an nbt with pdc you need the namespaced key

which needes an instance of the plugin

Your best bet would probably be to use MythicMobs items and figure out how it stores the internal names

[green prism]

I can definitely see how they are stored but I cant do anything about it...
I'm not sure that I can compare items in that way

[vocal cloud]

Wym can't do anything about it?

They should contain unique data somewhere that MythicMobs uses to identify them

You can see that data too

Okay that's a great idea
