[twin venture]

it mean location right?

l = location?

[brave sparrow]

Not necessarily

The server is obfuscated

[remote swallow]

https://nms.screamingsandals.org

[twin venture]

using paper xd?

[remote swallow]

paperweight?

[tender shard]

"l" could be anything

[twin venture]

no i mean paper.jar xd 1.8.8 ,-,

[tender shard]

decompile the class, then check which type "l" has

[twin venture]

ok

[brave sparrow]

Yes, it’s still obfuscated

[left plover]

What are the terms of use for including the remapped JARs from BuildTools inside a GitHub repo?

[tender shard]

the terms are "not allowed"

[brave sparrow]

^

[left plover]

Figured

[tender shard]

no matter whether it's remapped or not

it contains mojang's code and hence you must not publish it

[remote swallow]

idk why you would even add that to a repo

[tender shard]

that's the whole point of why buildtools exists

[tender shard]

yeah I also wonder

[remote swallow]

its probably like the one plugin i found that used maven full of system scopes

and they were just distributing paid forks

[brave sparrow]

Presumably to avoid having to run buildtools on the machine of any contributor

Exactly, local maven repos

[tender shard]

I usually include a run-buildtools.sh file that builds all the needed versions, or for some people, I give them access to my nexus repo which has all the versions

[remote swallow]

distributing mojang code :!!??!?! uh oh

[tender shard]

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/run-buildtools.sh this e.g. compiles all versions this project needs, but only if it's not in the local repo yet

[tender shard]

well not to the public lol

[remote swallow]

would that still get classed as distributing

[tardy delta]

who cares lol

a bunch of people probably

[tender shard]

probably

[brave sparrow]

Technically yes but the actual damages are minimal

[tender shard]

well the damages are zero

[brave sparrow]

Lol

[tender shard]

even uploading spigot.jar, there wouldn't be any damage mojang could claim

[brave sparrow]

Fair

[tender shard]

they upload the server .jar themselves to the public, I doubt they could claim ANY damage if I'd now upload a spigot.jar that everyone could produce themselves

they could still tell me not to do it, ofc

I mean, running over a red light also doesn't cause damages if there's no accident 😄

[brave sparrow]

Gonna cause damage to your wallet when I write you that ticket though 😂

[tender shard]

yeah D: red light violations are very expensive here

[brave sparrow]

Technically that’s an arrestable offense here

[tender shard]

here it's just an infraction, 228,50 € plus 1 month prohibited to drive + 2 penalty points (8 points = license gone)

[brave sparrow]

In my state all traffic violations are classed as criminal offenses

[tender shard]

damn that's harsh

[brave sparrow]

So anything not explicitly stated to be non-arrestable is arrestable

[tender shard]

I ALWAYS drive 20kmh too fast lol

or 30kmh outta town

because 21/31kmh is the limit where you get penalty points

and it's where the fine jumps from like 30€ to over 100

[brave sparrow]

Most times I see people get the actual ticket dismissed as long as they pay the court and do a driving class or whatever

That way it gets off their record and their insurance doesn’t go up

[tender shard]

insurance can see which tickets you get? o0

[brave sparrow]

Yeah

[tender shard]

yikes

[brave sparrow]

It’s a conviction, it’s public record

If you get a final conviction on a ticket your insurance looks for and sees it

[tender shard]

that's quite funny

to me

insurance here can't see anything, all they can see is the damages you report to them

[left plover]

Morefor github actions to compile a plugin

[remote swallow]

use sprax dev spigot thing

https://github.com/SpraxDev/Action-SpigotMC

[echo basalt]

@dry yacht weren't you the one constantly asking about how to optimize maps & itemframes?

I remember there was a guy constantly making threads about this

[left plover]

Looks like exactly what I need

[tender shard]

that's the only useful action I've ever seen

[echo basalt]

asking if there was a way to precache frames to render gifs at 60fps

[hazy parrot]

Or you can just do it yourself, however you like https://github.com/GoksiOrg/TabbyControl/blob/main/.github/workflows/publish_release.yml

[tender shard]

But how would that work if you need different java versions?

Eg 17 for 1.19 and 8 for 1.12

Also doesnt it rebuild it everytime even when it was already built?

Thats gonna take a long time if you need 12 spigot versions

[brave sparrow]

Anyone can technically find out who gets a conviction, not just insurance. It’s not private

[hazy parrot]

It does, as workflows is basically a container

[tender shard]

But you can cache stuff somehow

No idea how but its possible

[hazy parrot]

I did, it's maven cache

[tender shard]

Ah ok

[hazy parrot]

But it's persistent for like an week

[twin venture]

hi , where i can find the wiki for protocollib 1.8.8?

[solar mauve]

hey
string: Dave jumps.over the detroit
i want to check if string matches (contains) "jumps." (the jumps word with the dot):
i used the following regex but however, if i type jump and then type anything after that, it would match the string when shouldn't (false math), what should i do?:

^.*(play.)*$

i want this to be matched along with the dot only, not any other characters

[wet breach]

to render gifs at 60fps you need like double the amount of images minimum lol

[echo basalt]

lmao ik im idiot

or maybe not

interpolation ??

image blur

[dry yacht]

Nope, I already got that all figured out, xD

[dry yacht]

Cannot remember that I've ever asked about them

[echo basalt]

maybe it was someone else

but I remember going back n forth for like an hour

and I saw you do stuff with maps n itemframes

[dry yacht]

Yeah, I was working on bringing browsers into minecraft, but that project has been put on the back burner for now, as my attention gravitated towards something else again, xD

There were multiple people interested in this topic, btw

[wet breach]

but the main problem with gifs though, is the fact they don't typically contain 60 frames in a second, let alone double the amount for backup

[dry yacht]

30fps is kind of the threshold of where this makes sense anyways, pushing 60fps is pretty adventurous

[wet breach]

well, while you might not notice a difference and there are some people who can, it lets your display devices select the best images if you can stuff more in there

not only that, if a single image is rendered weird for whatever reason the odds of you noticing it is far less likely

[dry yacht]

You just cannot compress the image data at all, especially not across multiple frames. You're gonna kill people's internet connection with that

[solar mauve]

anybody pls help, its late here, i should update this on server, and sleep now

[wet breach]

Yes you can, this is the whole reason why we have various formats and codecs, because you can precisely do this.

[shadow gazelle]

Okay, I'm just going to explain this and get opinions on whether or not loading the extensions as plugins would be a better idea. I'm basically trying to do what Bedwsrs1058 does, but make it so that one core has an API to make multiple minigames easily but also make extensions for minigames that exist. Right now I'm loading jars from the plugin's folder, would it be better to make it to Bedwars1058 does and have them be plugins? Part of the loading them from the plugin's folder was to combine everything into one or two master command(s), but I think I could do that either way now that I think about it.

[ivory sleet]

u can just use compile("play\.")

[solar mauve]

i did

[dry yacht]

Uhm, how?

[solar mauve]

exact same thing happens

[wet breach]

but I wasn't talking about compression anyways

[dry yacht]

Just making sure: We're talking about item frames, right?

[solar mauve]

it doesn't even match it

[wet breach]

no, I was talking about gifs

and fps

[dry yacht]

Illusion talked about displaying gifs on item frames, I thought

Of course you can compress images, that's nothing new, xD

[ivory sleet]

ali use Matcher::find

[wet breach]

he stated someone wanted to render gifs at 60fps which you can, but to display a gif at such speeds fluidly you need minimum double the images

[dry yacht]

.

My bad then.

[wet breach]

and then not only that gifs typically don't have 60 frames a second anyways

let alone they only last for a few seconds as well

[dry yacht]

So, to be more specific: 30fps seems to be the absolute limit on item frames. I don't think the internet connection of people would take more either.

Displaying gifs somewhere else is a whole different story, of course.

[echo basalt]

I mean

each 128x128 area is 16kb

what I did at work was a weird hashing system that re-uses duplicate frames across a player's session

you'd only need to send the frames once and then just send packets re-setting the ID to the following frame

[solar mauve]

oh nevermind, chatgpt does it 🧠

[echo basalt]

So being honest you can actually achieve high frame rates, as long as the client isn't the one queuing up packets

[wet breach]

^

[echo basalt]

minecraft also uses a very limited palette which makes things easier

as there's less data

[dry yacht]

My bad... I was so caught up in the mindspace of browser streaming still, that I totally forgot that you can just assign a map ID to each frame of the gif and just send map ids. Yeah, gifs can probably be pushed fast as hell.

[tardy delta]

when the interesting conversation come up i have to sleep 💀

[echo basalt]

This is not limited to gifs

I use such a system to minimize outgoing bandwidth

[dry yacht]

You'd need a shit ton of IDs if there are many concurrent users

[echo basalt]

not really

well

true

[dry yacht]

So only after short map id, xD

[echo basalt]

The hashes are global

and generating an ID should be fast enough

in my case I just serialize the color array into a base64 and add it to a palette / list

the id is based on the position of the hash in the list

[wet breach]

can reuse id's if they are not long lasting as well

[echo basalt]

I do recycle ids

[dry yacht]

Right, map ids are scoped to a single client anyways.

[dry yacht]

Oh yeah, hopefully, haha :D.

[echo basalt]

but it's not that complex

Only reason why I made such system is because my target audience is much more likely to be on a shitty internet connection

[dry yacht]

Yeah, it should be pretty manageable, now that I think about it. Great idea tho, I'm just really inexperienced with hashing algorithms.

[echo basalt]

I was thinking of some extra fancy way

to make the hash based on the player id + board position or something

and then I was just like "why don't we just have a global hash list"

and it took about 10 minutes of playing with code to get it working

a 1000x1000 (mostly single-colored) image went from 1.08mb to about 70kb

[dry yacht]

Do you know - round about - how many map IDs you use for a gif of a certain length? I kinda have a hard time imagining anything, because 128*128*256 are a lot of combinations.

[kindred valley]

gotcha

[echo basalt]

each id for a unique 128x128 section / frame

honestly Map IDs are not that limited and the amount of ids used is not really a concern

It works just like entities

[wet breach]

especially given you are not using negatives 😛

at least I hope not lmao

[echo basalt]

it's the same with entities

sure you're creating a ton of entity Ids for stuff like projectiles, arrows n all

[dry yacht]

Well, depends on the version. The signed shorts are quite tight.

[echo basalt]

hm

I guess a per-person palette would be more applicable in such cases

I expect you're not an idiot and run a minimally recent version

[dry yacht]

I think >= 1.13 was the version where they finally migrated to integer map IDs.

[wet breach]

well there is others ways to do it

just gets more complex

[echo basalt]

more recycling

[wet breach]

you could still use a short but have it backed by an integer

[echo basalt]

or just use the old system in the old versions

well

65k frames / player is more than enough imo

with the global system maybe not

but even then you'd need like 100 players with 650 unique frames each

and pray that none of them relogs so that half the ids get recycled

[wet breach]

lol

[dry yacht]

Does the client render map ids with the sign bit set? I actually never tried that...

[echo basalt]

pretty sure it does

but certain plugins trip

like InventiveTalent's MapManager or whatever

trips balls when you toss negative ids

[wet breach]

yeah because everyone assumes no negatives 😛

[dry yacht]

Never heard of that, xD. I guess you're also rolling your own libs for maps.

Imagine people still using MapPalette#matchColor, xDD. I saw that a lot when I first researched the topic.

[echo basalt]

WAIT THAT'S A THING?

[dry yacht]

The slowest on earth, actually

I much prefer O(1) lookup

[echo basalt]

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

[dry yacht]

Oh, you use that?

I auto-generate all these values, xD

[echo basalt]

yeah I had one of the new devs make it manually

and then I just copypasted code from the wiki and made the caching thing

[dry yacht]

Oh, right, I forgot... you're on a whole other level, :)

[echo basalt]

:)

can't bother coding much nowadays

[kindred valley]

gotcha

[dry yacht]

Well, I'm happy to know that at least my map color lookup is optimal, now that I found out that I completely missed hashing and reusing map-ids, xDD. I really, really gotta get into hashing algorithms more to develop a feel for this kinda stuff.

[echo basalt]

I mean

it was something that was always in my mind honestly

but it's not a necessity

I can see the likes of hypixel using it

because they send so much data

and network traffic actually costs money

[dry yacht]

For what I have in mind, it most definitely is, haha. And it's a great learning experience too.

[echo basalt]

it helps the client

and actually hinders the server ever so slightly

[wet breach]

don't need to get into hashing algos specifically for this

a lot of this comes up when you are just hitting limits

[echo basalt]

I've only had to implement such culling systems when I Was actually facing problems

server I worked for was sending so many particles that people started dropping connections

and by so many I mean like 50k/tick

[wet breach]

lmao

[echo basalt]

was doing about 20mbps constant for every player

[wet breach]

death by particles

[echo basalt]

implemented a culler and it went real quiet

and looked just as good :)

packet-based culler, made a hash by splitting a block into 16x16x16 sections (particle pos values are decimal), and assigning each session a hash

[wet breach]

not even sure why you need 50k particles

not like someone is going to really see that many

[echo basalt]

the guy responsible for particles set the numbers way too high

he was rendering the whole thing every frame instead of just the changes

I wouldn't blame him, he does VFX for his day job

[wet breach]

well to be fair that is an easy mistake

a lot of people don't think about you could just only render changes

and not the the whole thing and including changes every single time

[echo basalt]

yeah

tbh those 50 lines for the culler system won't hurt anyone

and it's much easier to manage than rewriting the whole particle engine

to only display diffs

[wet breach]

reminds me I have particles to mess with too >>

[echo basalt]

only particles you got are snow particles in truck tires

and I guess water too

[wet breach]

o.O

[echo basalt]

o.O I gotta get myself one of these

you can read so much nms

[dry yacht]

Well, I was just noticing for a while now that I have difficulties with hashing and that I should really up my knowledge on that topic. I'm having a hard time thinking about how I would hash a ~65k sized byte array into something that corresponds to a map ID quickly. Like, there can be hash collisions, and if you then find a bucket, you'd still need to check on equality, so you're kinda iterating the whole thing twice, once for computing the hash and once for comparison. I don't know if that's ideal, I'm sure Illusion is doing something better.

[echo basalt]

My solution is literally encoding it to base64

and storing it in a list

literally

you don't need to make perfect mathemathical hashes

you just need to convert a 65k array into a numerical ID, and if it exists already, just return the existing one

Making a mathemathical solution to always calculate the same one will cause collisions

Just caching results will not

[dry yacht]

So you're hashing the string? I mean, you gotta have some sort of Map<byte[], Integer>. How does base64 help you there?

[echo basalt]

TBH I could store the array directly but that's a lot more data

[wet breach]

base64 kind of compresses

[echo basalt]

I don't hash the string, I just use the string as a UUID type deal

[dry yacht]

I just don't see how you're ending up with an integer if you never hash it. You said you keep it in a list, I'm sure you won't do O(n) search through that list...

[echo basalt]

I could

or maybe use a set for O(1) contains checks

and another list for indexOf

[wet breach]

O(n) searches are faster then you think

[echo basalt]

tbh looping through 60k elements isn't THAT slow

[wet breach]

espcially on modern CPU's

it could do it like 1k times in a feasible second XD

[echo basalt]

a CPU operates on GIGA hertzz

we're talking about KILO iterations here

:)

shitty analogy but my code is the equivalent of like

Instead of determining someone's riches by their net worth, I just see if they own a lambo

or if their name is frostalf

[wet breach]

But yeah unless you had something like millions of elements in a list or something, then yeah I would recommend using better methods but just a few thousand you are not going to notice how slow it really is

[dry yacht]

No, but you gotta iterate 65k items and then check a lot of characters (if base64 compresses, bytes otherwise), so it's not just that. Maybe I'm just really lacking a feel for this kind of estimations, but it sounds horrible to me. Like, there's gotta be a better solution. Sounds like you're making it work out great tho.

[echo basalt]

it's an equals check

like sure it can get slow but when it does, you just go out there and make a better solution ??

just start storing map ids in SQLite??

[dry yacht]

Yeah, sure thing, again, I'm just trying to understand it. I'm not talking bad about the solution in any way.

[echo basalt]

we're not really storing colors individually, we're just putting them all in a big line and seeing if that line is in a list

[wet breach]

[heavy mural]

Is it possible to prevent an armorstand (passenger) from dismounting a player when the player is swimming?

[echo basalt]

use packets and half the stupid nms logic is gone :)

the other half is client-sided predictions

[wet breach]

you could always simulate the armorstand riding the player while they are swimming

not sure why this would need to be a thing

[heavy mural]

Earlier I had found a post of somebody using a "buffer entity" to fix this, but the answer seemed so vague to me :(
Maybe it rings a bell for you?

[heavy mural]

I am attempting to display another nameline above the username and BELOWNAME lines with a passenger armorstand, but I think the water thing kinda makes it not worth it?
What I could do is spam teleport the armorstand on the player

[echo basalt]

@dry yacht in case you're curious,

you could probably optimize that contains -> add -> indexOf

by doing

indexOf -> if -1 -> add -> indexOf = size() -1

[wet breach]

and then if you want more elaborate mechanisms you can use 2 or 3 dimensional arrays

[wet breach]

the last part is basically what I meant with the simulating

[heavy mural]

As in
If player is swimming
Then teleport armorstand ontop of player
If player not swimming
Set that armorstand as passenger again of the player?

[wet breach]

yep, just don't be surprised if you have to mess with the teleporting stuff to where you are not lagging the server out

its not optimal, but I mean not really much else you can really do

[heavy mural]

Hmmm I will only need it for staffmembers which means it will only affect a few players, yet it ain't optimal no hmm

[wet breach]

it shouldn't be an issue with a few players, but if for some reason 50 or more players decide they are all going to go swim, then might best to implement a system to handle that, it doesn't need to be perfect just good enough

[wet breach]

oh in that case you should be fine then

[heavy mural]

Would the teleport just be in a runnable and then per tick?

I think I'll go for that approach

[wet breach]

doesn't need to be per-tick. There is 20 ticks per second, I would probably teleport it every 10 ticks or every 5th

players are not going to be moving super fast in water every second 😛

[heavy mural]

That is a fair point I'll look into that tomorrow. Thank you 🫡

[echo basalt]

hmm I don't feel like coding this week

I might just type javadocs for 10 hours and get paid

[wet breach]

yeah, that is like me right now with tires

[echo basalt]

team's a bit scattered atm

[wet breach]

I am like at 60 tires now for this week -.-

[dry yacht]

Thank you a lot for sharing! :).

[echo basalt]

one guy's travelling, the other is fixing a project that has been stalled for 6 months

and I'm here, just commenting stuff and optimizing some parts

like for some reason, dithering an image makes the performance go boom

takes like 40ms to dither

might be because I'm reading and calculating pixels manually

instead of using some graphics api

[wet breach]

is there a reason for dithering?

[echo basalt]

and also I'm not caching colors

[echo basalt]

makes some images look prettier

[wet breach]

ah

[dry yacht]

Btw, I don't want to beat the topic to death, but now that I think of it... how can base64 compress anything? It limits the character space and thus requires more characters per byte than if you had just one byte. It's still one compare instruction per value, no matter if char or byte. Shouldn't it actually make the situation worse? A 16384 sized byte array gets turned into a 21848 length string.

[wet breach]

well I don't know what exactly you have for dithering or your images per-say but look into nearest neighbor algo

[echo basalt]

floyd steinberg

[eternal oxide]

base64 makes most things bigger

[echo basalt]

:)

You can store the array directly if you want

[eternal oxide]

it's not a form of compression

[echo basalt]

that should also work

I don't use it to compress, I use it to convert to debuggable text

[dry yacht]

Yeah, that's what I was getting at, because I totally took that up the first time I read it

[echo basalt]

if you really want to, wrap it in a new String(colors) and see what yo uend up with

[dry yacht]

Didn't even question it

[echo basalt]

probably faster too

[wet breach]

While it isn't inherently compression in itself, it does use less to represent more. In other words I can take 20k characters and base64 it and it won't use 20k characters to represent it

[dry yacht]

No matter what you do, it's not gonna make anything more efficient than just straight bytes. How's that gonna be faster?

[wet breach]

this in itself is compression

[eternal oxide]

its encoding not compression

[wet breach]

that is true

but it can be used to compress

since it does do what the definition of compression is

depending how you use it

[eternal oxide]

oft times it will expand rather than compress, but you could utilize it for compression if it happens

[wet breach]

I have never seen a base64 grow larger then the thing you are base64'ing unless the data was already binary

[echo basalt]

For any third-parties lurking btw, dithering is the concept of mixing colors in small amounts to end up with an "average" color patch. If you only have Black & White to work with, you can achieve gray if you put black and white pixels together, in large patches

More data found here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd–Steinberg_dithering

[eternal oxide]

most base64 encoded ItemStacks are expanded

[dry yacht]

You can? What would the data have to look like then? If there's just 6 bits per character, isn't that worse than just using straight up bytes, if the character itself takes up a byte anyways?

[eternal oxide]

over just serializing

[echo basalt]

uhh no?

base256 would achieve a string that's the same size as the input

[wet breach]

characters are not guaranteed to take up a single byte

and in most systems and in programming its automatically assumed 2 bytes minimum

[echo basalt]

by shortening the base you're expanding the amount of characters required to represent the same amount

[dry yacht]

Yeah, so base64 has to be bigger every time, doesn't it?

[echo basalt]

not every time

[wet breach]

no, not necessarily

[echo basalt]

you can shorten very small numbers

like

49

[eternal oxide]

so unless your original object is all bytes in the lower 64 bits it will be larger encoded as base64

[echo basalt]

into a single character

[dry yacht]

Yeah, sure, but that's a case that's totally negligible. It's of next to no use... xD. On average, it makes everything bigger, where average means 90%

[echo basalt]

eh

it's like midnight

I got some workshop to attend in 8 hours

why tf are we arguing about base64

[wet breach]

idk, I have to get ready for work anyways 😛

[dry yacht]

Well, we can switch to base96 if you want to

[eternal oxide]

no clue 🙂

[dry yacht]

You can still read it, but it'll be shorter, lol

[wet breach]

well you can use whatever base you want really

[dry yacht]

Those are printable, tho

[wet breach]

some bases are more ideal then others

just work with a ternary base 😛

you should have fun then

[echo basalt]

base 2

[wet breach]

ternary is base 3

[echo basalt]

watch me use boxed Booleans to make base 3

as null is the 3rd value

[dry yacht]

Btw, how's that shortening anything? 49 is still one byte, and it'll make one character. You're not gonna encode the string "49" as an interpreted number, if you meant it as a string value.

[wet breach]

lol

[echo basalt]

49 is a string with 2 letters

or a single base64 letter

we're talking about string representation

if we represent any base in binary, it's the same shit

[dry yacht]

"49"="NDk="

[wet breach]

strings always take up more space

[echo basalt]

oh yyeah it has padding

bro just fuckin

[dry yacht]

Well, you're always encoding binary data, no matter what

[echo basalt]

encode the full name of each color

like my comments

so if it's fulyl blank

it'd be transparenttransparenttransparent...

16k times

:)

[wet breach]

I see someone went through the pain to hand write this

[echo basalt]

it was not me

junior devs just doing junior stuff

[wet breach]

not sure why but I mean they were dedicated to it lmao

[echo basalt]

man's getting paid hourly

and this is his best code

[dry yacht]

I'd love to just have a pre-setup buffer for each combination. Gotta buy more ram tho.

[echo basalt]

don't mac pros have 2tb ram?

for a humble +25k

[wet breach]

you would only need to have half the combinations

[echo basalt]

me omw to make a base anagram algo

so we can just reverse strings and save ram

haha string pool go boom

[copper scaffold]

Why can't i get past the deleted/null config at the beginning?

Code: https://pastebin.com/8mytXHt4
yml config file: https://pastebin.com/EjRvMDqN
error: https://pastebin.com/pZuqwzye

[dry yacht]

Fair tho, as it takes quite the adventure to find out that the minecraft server already has these base colors from 1.8-present, and that you can generate the shades yourself on the fly, then blow the approximations out into an O(1) lookup array once, where you access using bitshifting, which you then compress to disk using gzip. It's a bit more than you could ask a junior developer to do, haha

[echo basalt]

that array would get quite heavy

[wet breach]

String saves = npcConfig.getServerPlayer("de.server." + uuid + ".player.list");;

this is null

[echo basalt]

my code just does it like

[wet breach]

and probably don't need a double ;

[echo basalt]

if it don't exist, cache it

if it cached, return cache

[copper scaffold]

yea bcs of the config

[echo basalt]

npcConfig is most likely null

[dry yacht]

16MB, who cares? Nothing in nowadays terms.

[echo basalt]

nvm I'm blind

[echo basalt]

uh

16 million colors ??

RGB scope

that's 16mb

[dry yacht]

255 * 255 * 255

Map colors

[wet breach]

if you look at your config

and follow hte path

[dry yacht]

So that at least map colors are instant lookup

[echo basalt]

well

[wet breach]

it does't match what you are iterating

[echo basalt]

you aren't gonna use most of those colors anyways

so just save those 2mb ram

and make a lil lazy cache

:)

it's good practice to be mindful of your resources

and encode everything into base64 after micro-optimizing your color cache

[dry yacht]

I actually have no idea how many are actually used

[copper scaffold]

yea it is the first null but why can't i get past that null?

[wet breach]

for(String uuid : npcConfig.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("de.server").getKeys(false))
de.server should be de.npc.server

and this String saves = npcConfig.getServerPlayer("de.server." + uuid + ".player.list"); should be de.npc.server.

as I said, your config path isn't the same in the code

[swift flower]

predicate

[dry yacht]

You're right about that, it's actually a micro-optimization I should get rid of, so that I can waste 33% more memory on my base64 encoded strings while still saving memory over all.

[wet breach]

just don't store duplicate characters

should fix that 33%

[echo basalt]

You could just run it through Arrays.hashcode

but that can have collisions

[wet breach]

while true, doubt you are going to run collisions in the short term

unless you are just that unlucky

[echo basalt]

hmm

sha256 and convert it to a string?

sure it's slow as hell and probably will hinder performance

but you'll have a constant size string

that's hella small

[dry yacht]

Oh, really? How is it that trivial that it's still going to be unique after that? The 33% is just what I experienced the size blowup to be on average, btw.

[wet breach]

33% is actually the amount it will grow on average mathmatically

which you obviously experienced yourself

[eager jacinth]

Hello. Currently, I'm developing a plugin and I've encountered a small issue. Basically, my plugin has a "wanted level" for players and I want to display all wanted players in a GUI, but the problem is that players are cached as needed, so most of them may not be present there. What do you think is the best way to approach this?

[ornate patio]

is it possible to remove the blue name from an enchanted item

meta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.RESET + "...") doesn't remove the blue

[echo basalt]

The blue is client-sided and matches the item's "rarity"

Do ChatColor.WHITE instead

[quaint mantle]

The getCustomSign method returns null

even tho when i do the broadcasts they are the exact same

[ornate patio]

how do i check if a player has right clicked a liquid

from a PlayerInteractEvent more specifically

when a player right clicks water, it sends an event with type RIGHT_CLICK_AIR

[drowsy helm]

youll have to raycast

[torn shuttle]

is player#getinventory#remove not meant to remove items from the armor slots?

[drowsy helm]

pretty sure armor contents is counted as a separate thing

[torn shuttle]

that's... fun

man there isn't even a good way to access these globally

I have to do it individually

[drowsy helm]

sounds annoyng lol

[ornate patio]

damnit ok thanks

anyone know

[charred blaze]

how do i get dependency & repository urls like this?

for example i want to import bungee as dependency

how do i?

(gradle)

[quasi flint]

compileOnly 'net.md-5:bungeecord-api:1.15.5-R0.1-SNAPSHOT'

this should be it

dont forget

maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots' } // This lets gradle find the BungeeCord files online

[storm stump]

Is it possible to extend from the NMS LivingEntity?

The super method requires an EntityType and I don't know how to create a new one

Trying to do this so I can have an entity agnostic positional/health/movement/AI etc. interface for my NMS models which are visual only and merely get replicated to the client

Then I can have player entities, zombies, skeletons, whatever

And then just send the movement packets

[quasi flint]

a custom entitytype

prob doesnt work well with the client

as it doesnt know that type

[storm stump]

Of course, I'll try to intercept the packet and make sure it's never sent out

[charred blaze]

how do i get urls like that?

[charred blaze]

thats 1.15.5

[storm stump]

I only want to do this just so that I can have an entity on the server for movement, raycasting, everything you'd need, but then replicate the real entitytype but with associated positional data

[storm stump]

So how do I create this?

[quasi flint]

well than change it to 1.16.5

[storm stump]

EntityType builder gave me some registry frozen error

[charred blaze]

that simply?

hm okay

[quasi flint]

that is because the onEnable is too late

[quasi flint]

yes

[storm stump]

Yea it is but I didn't see any way around that

Is there a pre-registry event to subscribe to?

[charred blaze]

compileOnly 'net.md-5:bungeecord-api:1.19.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT'

does this exist

[tardy delta]

Isn't the frozen field just a simple boolean?

[quasi flint]

load on STARTUP, not POSTWORLD

[storm stump]

Is that an annotation

[charred blaze]

how do i get values like this? (it isnt tab completing)

[quasi flint]

every registry has it if i remember correctly, so you can unfreze it

[tardy delta]

Ye looked into sourcecode recently

[storm stump]

Thank you so much

[quasi flint]

but with STARTUP prob not needed

[storm stump]

Oh it's just a spigot.yml thing?

[quasi flint]

ye

[storm stump]

Thank you brother

[charred blaze]

ha?

[quasi flint]

i suppose so

[charred blaze]

where did you get that value?

is it listed somewhere?

[quasi flint]

well also override that methodnin your main class

[quasi flint]

i just searched bungeecord maven

[charred blaze]

as far as i remember i need to tabcomplete Plugin in bungee api right?

where is it

[quasi flint]

u reloaded gradle

[charred blaze]

yea

[quasi flint]

ah shi

use implementation

instead of compileOnly

[charred blaze]

testImplementation?

why

[quasi flint]

and you prob dont want the jUnit trst stuff

[charred blaze]

yeah

[storm stump]

What method?

onEnable?

[quasi flint]

ye

[storm stump]

Oh yea ofc

[charred blaze]

still

[quasi flint]

forget what i said

compileOnly is right

[charred blaze]

isnt this reload

[quasi flint]

does it throw an error?

[charred blaze]

how do i check

[quasi flint]

ye

under build

bottom left

[charred blaze]

hm

then

whats wrong?

compileOnly 'net.md-5:bungeecord-api:1.19.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT'

i think

this url

does not exists

(i know its not url)

[quasi flint]

that is your dependency

this is ur repository

maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots' } // This lets gradle find the BungeeCord files online

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/create-your-first-bungeecord-plugin-with-gradle/

[charred blaze]

ill try change it to net.md-5:bungeecord-api:1.19-R0.1-SNAPSHOT

instead of 1.19.2 one

yeah its working now

but how do i get access on latest versions?

isnt 1.19.2 better than 1.19's api?

[quasi flint]

there is no 1.19.2

1.19 works for 1.19.x

[charred blaze]

why

[charred blaze]

ah

[quasi flint]

because there were no breaking api changes

i thonk

[charred blaze]

how do i change gradle's build export location?

[torpid blaze]

Hey,
I have a small problem with casting....
I save a custom object in a map to the yml config and when getting it I of course what to cast it into the original map with the custom object.

But I get this error already in IntelliJ:
Inconvertible types; cannot cast 'java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>' to 'java.util.LinkedHashMap<java.lang.String,at.kessaft.getdown.utils.JumpMap>'

Has anyone any Idea on how to cast this properly?

[charred blaze]

for (JumpMap jumpmap : mc.getConfigurationSection("jumpMaps").getValues(false)) {
maps.put(jumpmap)
}

i guess

(maybe)

[quaint mantle]

In case anybody conflicts with Bukkit deserializing objects whenever doing JavaPlugin#getConfig
This is caused because this method calls JavaPlugin#reloadConfig in case of the cache FileConfiguration found null. Reloading it has this behavior of copying defaults. This specific action deserializes ConfigurationSerializables.

In case you are upset because of this, I already provided a robust solution around this. It loads objects from YAML files asynchronously if you are looking for this as well. Besides that, I hope fellow programmers could be a little more respectful towards us who spend time trying to help you...

[charred blaze]

does this code saves loaded config in data file or does the opposite?ConfigurationProvider.getProvider(YamlConfiguration.class).save(config, data);

[quaint mantle]

What are you trying to achieve Greened?

Maybe xy?

[charred blaze]

not written in details

[torpid blaze]

ok, seems legit

[chrome beacon]

Read below that

[charred blaze]

reloading one?

[chrome beacon]

As for saving, for custom configurations, you need to call FileConfiguration#save(File) (which saveConfig() does under the hood for config.yml) to write the data to the disk.

Bottom of the page

[charred blaze]

???

[charred blaze]

that is for spigot

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-the-bungee-configuration-system/#wikiPage

there is no FileConfiguration in bungee

(last time i "checked")

nvm i think i get it now

[chrome beacon]

Ah you were using Bungee

[charred blaze]

yeah

[chrome beacon]

Didn't see that

[torpid blaze]

I also have the problem that, when reloading the config file, the map is null when trying to get it using getConfigurationSection(). In the YML File everything is right but in the memory not. It is also working before saving, when I wrote used createSection() to save the map and it is saved into the memory.

Anyone any idea why this happenes after reloading or restarting the server?

[quaint mantle]

File directory = getDataFolder();
String fileName = "config";

Configuration configuration = ConfigurationProvider.getProvider(YamlConfiguration.class).load(new File(directory, fileName+".yml"));

ConfigurationProvider.getProvider(YamlConfiguration.class).save(configuration, new File(directory, fileName+".yml"));```

[charred blaze]

whats difference in that two?

doesnt it do same thing?

[quaint mantle]

The first line will provide an instance of Configuration

Which is required in ConfigurationProvider

[charred blaze]

ah

[quaint mantle]

I have no idea how it works, I have not worked with this in bungee yet

[charred blaze]

right

[quaint mantle]

I just understood that the second/last depends on the first

[chrome beacon]

Are you using the bultin config or are you loading the file yourself? Also send the code you're using

Before I used FileConfiguration. For testing I just switched to YamlConfiguration

[torpid blaze]

Always when I try to getConfigurationSection() it is null

[chrome beacon]

Where are you calling the reload method

[torpid blaze]

at the moment never. I restart the server

[oblique igloo]

Bit of a weird question here.

Please keep in mind that this is NOT an anti-xray but is in fact an xray.

I have written a server side xray that when used turns all of the blocks inside of a chunk into barriers except for ores. I use _https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#sendBlockChange(org.bukkit.Location,org.bukkit.block.data.BlockData)_ to de-render the blocks. I am wondering if there is a way (without caching the blocks, or teleporting the player away and back.) to re-render the effected blocks back to their original material

I can send the class in a pastebin if needed

[torpid blaze]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[torpid blaze]

Hey,
I had some issues with my config but just figured out that the config doesn't get loaded correctly.
I call the constructor of my Conf manager in onEnable before anything else but when printing the read config on the constructor to the console, it is empty although it shouldn't be.

The Path to the File is also correct because saving the config works fine.
https://paste.md-5.net/sucikukeyo.java

Anyone any idea why it doesn't get loaded?

I am the dumpest person in the world. First I always resetted the config in the onEnable and not I used YamlConfiguration and not FileConfiguration.#

[sullen canyon]

😒

yes

[lost matrix]

If you have a plugin on bungee and spigot then you can just make them communicate and let the
bungee plugin do everything you want on the server. But dont clutter your proxy with logic like that. It has one purpose
and it should not have any game related logic in it.

[tender shard]

you read their docs and do what they say

https://www.bstats.org/getting-started

[lost matrix]

So possible but not advisable

Commands on bungee should only affect bungee. For example /server /lobby and maybe /mute because its
ok to manage packets on a proxy level.

[glad prawn]

public static <T> T writeAll(Collection<T> coll, Sink<? super T> snk) {
    T last = null;
    for (T t : coll) {
        last = t;
        snk.flush(last);
    }
    return last;
}
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Sink<Object> s = new Sink<>();
        Collection<String> cs = Arrays.asList("A", "B");
        String str = writeAll(cs, s); //
    }

Can someone explain why I can pass s to writeAll?

[lost matrix]

First of all: Arrays.asList creates an Immutable list. So this wont work on runtime.

[glad prawn]

What's next..

[lost matrix]

Well im trying to figure out where Sink comes from

Reactor?

[glad prawn]

From this
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/extra/generics/morefun.html

[quaint mantle]

hi i am getting error

anyone can help me ?

[tender shard]

alright IJ, I'll rename myself to "finale"

[tender shard]

no

because "i am getting error" is not very useful to us

[lost matrix]

Well this works in theory

  public static <T> T writeAll(Collection<T> coll, Sink<? super T> snk) {
    T last = null;
    for (T t : coll) {
      last = t;
      snk.flush(last);
    }
    return last;
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Sink<Object> s = new Sink<>();
    Collection<String> cs = Arrays.asList("A", "B");
    String str = writeAll(cs, s); //
  }

As in: It will compile.

But it will lead to problems on runtime

eventually

[quaint mantle]

i am getting error unable to intercept a read client packet and another some messages also

[lost matrix]

No. The fly command should be on your servers. Not on the proxy.
On your server you can store information on players in a DB so its
accessible on all servers. For example if your fly command should
transfer to other servers. But keep your bungee away from that.
It should be light weight and not worry about if and where players
can fly.

If you want to grant fly for a player on another server then you can
use the proxy as a relay to message other servers. I personally prefer
Redis for this but bungee can do that as well. The proxy doesnt understand
what is being relayed. It just receives a message from Server A and sends
it to Server B.

[quaint mantle]

pls help me with this

[terse ore]

One question guys

in my config.yml I have different types of rewards, money, claim blocks or playerpoints

how could I make so you're only required to have the necessary plugin installed

for exampel, if you set it to money, you need to have Vault installed (but no need for griefprevention), if you have it for griefprevention no need for vault

idk if I explaine dcorrectly

[wet breach]

By adding conditional checks first starting with the plugin second checking config for boolean of they want it on.

[terse ore]

so I remove the depends on in the polugin.yml and check it on enable?

[lost matrix]

Plugin hooks. You just need to be careful which classes are loaded by checking
which plugins are enabled and not creating instances of your plugin hooks if they are not.

[wet breach]

Correct and if the plugin is not there or the config says not to use it. Then your check would essentially skip the code for those things

[terse ore]

ok tysm I will give it a try

[terse ore]

what are plugin hooks?

[wet breach]

Using methods that would cause something to load from the plugin you depend on. You dont want to try loading anything from a plugin that isnt there otherwise null pointers everywhere

Easiest way to implement the check is from the onenable check for those things and then set a global boolean.

[tidal barn]

Can someone tell me an idea to create a plugin?

[lost matrix]

Wrong import?

[smoky scroll]

I first asigned the ChatColor via ChatColor.of(String value) and a few lines after I asigned the same color cause i was working on documentation for what values u can use)

make sence that color always stayed the same

[lost matrix]

Then store the fly state in a DB. But the server connects to the DB. Not the proxy.

[hazy parrot]

It's not really Minecraft plugin specific

[lost matrix]

Not sure if you should tinker with databases then. Here are old barebones examples from Spigot:
https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/connecting-to-databases-mysql/
https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/mysql-database-integration-with-your-plugin/

[chrome beacon]

Did you register the listener? Add some debug messages and see what's failing

[lost matrix]

This cancells all damage on the server if pvp is disabled.

1. Is the listener registered
2. Is plugin.gameWorld not null?
3. You should def check for instanceof Player

[round finch]

curious how would someone get the players have joined before

[wet breach]

Before what?

[round finch]

does spigot have something for that?

[wet breach]

You want to check if they been on the server previously?

[round finch]

players there already have joined

no i mean get the players

        event.setCancelled(true);
    }

I have this event, how can i get TileState to get PDC from the block. I heard that is somehow possible?

[wet breach]

You can get a block by using its location

[fickle ivy]

        for (String key : config.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("stops").getKeys(false)) {
            sender.sendMessage(key);
            String worldb = config.getConfig().getString("stops." + key + ".Location.world");
            if (worldb.equalsIgnoreCase(world)) {
              if(compareLocation(key, sender)){
                  matches = true;
             }
           }
        }```  This errors out saying worldb value is null.  Anyone that can tell me what is wrong here?  ```stops:
  bus:

[tall dragon]

show me how you are doing it with a screenshot or something

[tardy delta]

You Cant create a static outer class

[small hawk]

well it's produces NullPointerException, any other solutions?

[tall dragon]

well u dont need to make the class static

make the methods static

only inner classer can be static

well thats more of a general java concept but aight

but you wont need an inner class for your application

u want to do stuff like this with util methods

great

[tardy delta]

Help my code is abusing me

[ivory sleet]

That’s a static nested class, inner classes are non static nested classes

[tall dragon]

tbh i was just showing the difference between outer and inner. didnt rlly think about the static

but i did not know that fact

[ivory sleet]

Yeah, sorry I was just picking on your words, but apart from that good explanation

[tall dragon]

thats fine. thanks for the correction.

you are looking at teh config as saved on your server?

[trim lake]

yup

[quasi raptor]

you must pass triggers.'0'.world

or what you want ig

[rotund ravine]

what is the name of that yml?

?paste your full yml

[undone axle]

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

[trim lake]

config.yml https://paste.md-5.net/agewiculey.bash

[eternal oxide]

the yaml from your server, not from your project

[trim lake]

that is from server from plugin folder

[eternal oxide]

server plugin folder

ok

[quasi raptor]

try

RojeJob plugin = Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("RoleJob")

[rotund ravine]

jobs is null

getConfigurationSection or whatever you are trying to get.

[trim lake]

is not, is in yml file

[rotund ravine]

it's not assigned a value

it's a section sure

[quasi raptor]

maybe paste the error

[trim lake]

console.sendMessage("jobs: " + inst.getConfig().isConfigurationSection("jobs")); returns false

[eternal oxide]

he already has

[quasi raptor]

oh sorry

[quasi raptor]

"org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration.getConfigurationSection(String)" is null

[eternal oxide]

your yaml is valid

[trim lake]

I think, server is not loading that yml for some reason

or cannot acces that

[quasi raptor]

did you saveDefaultConfig();?

ok i am just blind...

[eternal oxide]

is that file actually called config.yml and is in the plugins folder?

[trim lake]

yup

@Override
    public void onEnable() {
        inst = this;
        this.saveDefaultConfig();
        console = Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender();
        console.sendMessage("jobs: " + inst.getConfig().isConfigurationSection("jobs"));
    }```

[quasi raptor]

show us the files, like how they are in the folder

oh 💀

the specific issue is that the method getLocations in the CleaningTrigger class is trying to invoke the method getKeys(boolean) on a ConfigurationSection object that is null

[eternal oxide]

your error makes no sense. It doesn;t match what you have shown us

[trim lake]

hmmm, I remove the folder and server didn't generate that folder again

[quasi raptor]

impossible

[trim lake]

idk how but there is no that folder anymore 😄

[eternal oxide]

is your servers RoleJob.jar actually updated or are you running an old jar

[remote swallow]

Did you reload winscp

[quasi raptor]

ig you have to provide more code

or other error message

[trim lake]

nwm... Im stupid.... I have bad plugin name in plugin.yml ... Oh god.. How this happend

[quasi raptor]

...

:bruh:

[trim lake]

I didnt expect that I forget to change that 😄 sorry

        ChatColor[] colors = {ChatColor.RED, ChatColor.GOLD, ChatColor.YELLOW, ChatColor.GREEN, ChatColor.BLUE, ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE};
        final int[] tick = {text.length() - 1};
        final int[] colorIndex = {0};
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(AnimateText.getPlugin(AnimateText.class), () -> {
            tick[0]--;
            if (tick[0] < 0) {
                tick[0] = text.length() - 1;
                colorIndex[0] = (colorIndex[0] + 1) % colors.length;
            }
            StringBuilder newName = new StringBuilder();
            for (int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++) {
                if (i == tick[0]) {
                    newName.append(colors[colorIndex[0]]);
                }
                newName.append(text.charAt(i));
            }
            armorStand.setCustomName(newName.toString());
        }, 0, 1);
    }```

This method works fine but I want it to save the previous color and sets the new one

this method btw changes the color of text from left to right

[eternal oxide]

save old color?

[hard socket]

yes

[eternal oxide]

what do you mean

[hard socket]

like it changes color every tick and text variable its white

when it changes colors it becomes white then changes the colot

[eternal oxide]

so you mean it's alwasy startign from white?

[hard socket]

yes

[eternal oxide]

if I remember ChatColor has a method to get teh last color

[hard socket]

nooo

look the text variable is white

wait

I will show you

Sorry my obs is broken

[eternal oxide]

I still have no idea what you are having an issue with

[quaint goblet]

how do i make custom commands?
is there a plugin for it?

[hard socket]

as you can it becomes white then change color

[eternal oxide]

something about white, but I see no white

[hard socket]

hein?!

its literally white at the start

[eternal oxide]

what is white? I see blue/purple, changing to orange then yellow

[hard socket]

its white

trust me its white

[quaint goblet]

its white but it shows as blue becuase of screen glare

[eternal oxide]

what is white?

[lost matrix]

Ok but whats wrong with it being white?

[eternal oxide]

blue is white?

[quaint goblet]

&f

[hard socket]

I want it to keep the previous color and sets the new one

[quaint goblet]

screen glare

how do i make custom commands?
is there a plugin for it?

[hard socket]

I want it to keep the previous color and sets the new one

learn Java then SpigotAPI

[lost matrix]

Honestly, you should create a concrete class implementation for this.
When your lambda looks like this then its time to create a class.

Wait what is this scuffed logic

Honestly this method should be a class with at least 4 or 5 methods

[marsh burrow]

FEllas, anyone know how I could change the block a item places?

[lost matrix]

PlayerInteractEvent if its not a Block and BlockPlaceEvent if its a Block

[marsh burrow]

about that, it is a block, but when I replace the block with a spawner, the spawners entity that is supposed to show up doesn't update till I relog

[lost matrix]

What?

What version are you on?

[marsh burrow]

1.19.3

[marsh burrow]

my reaction exactly

When I SET the block through a command, it works just fine, but when I go through the blockbreak event, even with a delay, the spawner doesnt update

[lost matrix]

Did you call a force update on the BlockState?

Do that

[marsh burrow]

I am, I even do it with a 20 tick delay and nothing

[cold field]

Does anyone know how PDC works? From what I know it should use in-memory data, so when the holder is loaded it's data are put in memory and when the holder get unloaded it's data are saved.

[marsh burrow]

apparently just gotta live with placing the spawner 2 ticks with delay, flickers but it'll work for now

[ivory sleet]

yes

just a map

and then gets saved/loaded at appropriate times like unload/load/command /entity data thingy

[cold field]

k ty

[lost matrix]

  @EventHandler
  public void onPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event) {
    Block placed = event.getBlockPlaced();
    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(this, () -> {
      placed.setType(Material.SPAWNER);
      CreatureSpawner spawner = (CreatureSpawner) placed.getState();
      spawner.setSpawnedType(EntityType.BEE);
      spawner.update(true);
    });
  }

[marsh burrow]

guess spawners are just broken if u change the block type too quickly. This is what im doing though, just set the block to spawner as quick as I can, then set the entity inside 2 ticks later, and it works. THank ya mate!

[hard socket]

@lost matrix what about now

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

[lost matrix]

Write. A. Concrete. Class. Implementation.
And stop sending us this mess

[hard socket]

can you help or no

[lost matrix]

Sure. Step one:

• Write a class which implements Runnable

[worldly ingot]

lol, yeah, that's uh... a little bit awkward

At the very least you would use Atomic objects rather than abusing (I guess it's abusing?) arrays

But I'd better opt for a proper class

[lost matrix]

public class ArmorstandAnimationTask implements Runnable {

  private final ArmorStand armorStand;
  private int ticksAlive = 0;

  public ArmorstandAnimationTask(ArmorStand armorStand) {
    this.armorStand = armorStand;
  }

  @Override
  public void run() {
    ticksAlive++;
    nextAnimationStep(this.armorStand);
  }

  private void nextAnimationStep(ArmorStand armorStand) {

  }
}

Here is a template you can get started with.

[quaint mantle]

[ivory sleet]

is it tho?

[hard socket]

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

this ok!?!?!?

[ivory sleet]

like idk if there's a definite answer

but using volatile (atomic) in these situations feels unnecessary

[tardy delta]

man dropped his access modifiers

[ivory sleet]

yea

[worldly ingot]

Yeah it's a misuse of arrays imo

[tardy delta]

dont abuse arrays, get abused by them instead

[ivory sleet]

hmm, I mean I remember reading bout it, but cant remember the convention

[tender shard]

nobody can complain that I don't write proper javadocs lol https://hub.jeff-media.com/javadocs/morepersistentdatatypes/index.html

[remote swallow]

tldr

[chrome beacon]

tldr: Javadocs exist

[quaint mantle]

How can I get the total harvested crop count?

[tender shard]

for who?

a player? all players?

[quaint mantle]

A player

[tender shard]

loop over all things you consider crops, then add it up

[eternal oxide]

over time? for a single plant?

[tender shard]

        Statistic blockBreaks = Statistic.MINE_BLOCK;
        Player player = null;
        Material[] crops = new Material[] { Material.WHEAT, Material.POTATOES};
        int cropsBroken = 0;
        for (Material crop : crops) {
            cropsBroken += player.getStatistic(blockBreaks, crop);
        }

sth like this

[quaint mantle]

Ah alright. Thanks.

[eternal oxide]

Does MINE_BLOCK include harvesting?

[quaint mantle]

What about killing an entity?

Statistic.KILL_ENTITY?

[eternal oxide]

as often the block is not actually broken

[tender shard]

could also use Tags to automatically get all crop types

    private static final Set<Material> CROPS = new HashSet<>();
    
    static {
        for(Material material : Material.values()) {
            if(Tag.CROPS.isTagged(material)) {
                CROPS.add(material);
            }
        }
    }
    
    public static int getCropsHarvested(Player player) {
        int harvested = 0;
        for(Material crop : CROPS) {
            harvested += player.getStatistic(Statistic.MINE_BLOCK, crop);
        }
        return harvested;
    }

[tender shard]

it just checks whether a block is broken I guess

do you mean harvesting stuff like berry bushes?

[eternal oxide]

also Tag.CROPS.getValues() shoudl work too

rather than looping all Materials

[ancient plank]

muh performance

[tender shard]

that itself loops over all materials everytime

[eternal oxide]

does it?

[tender shard]

oh wait no, it doesn't

[eternal oxide]

I thought it was a baked enum

[tender shard]

but it streams / maps every tagged vanilla material to its bukkit material everytime and creates a new set out of that

[ancient plank]

Can I become the java garbage collector

[tender shard]

so best would be this:

    private static final Set<Material> CROPS = Tag.CROPS.getValues();

    public static int getCropsHarvested(Player player) {
        int harvested = 0;
        for(Material crop : CROPS) {
            harvested += player.getStatistic(Statistic.MINE_BLOCK, crop);
        }
        return harvested;
    }

[eternal oxide]

yep

[ancient plank]

I love tags

[tender shard]

yeah unfortunately they often are one version behind

[ancient plank]

which is why I have library where I made my own

I think

[small current]

what does material.isBlock() return if its air

[worldly ingot]

Air is a block

Air is also an item

[worldly ingot]

As an aside, Tags are Iterable so you can do for (Material crop : Tag.CROPS)

Also, not sure what you meant by them being one version behind?

[tender shard]

sometimes, new stuff gets added, and it's only tagged in the version released after that

[worldly ingot]

We're missing a lot of tags atm. Like... a lot. We don't even have biome tags

That's why I have this PR https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/bukkit/pull-requests/733/overview

[cold field]

I need to serialize an itemstack.
The simplier approach would be serializing it as a map, converting it to a string and then encoding it to base64.
I don't know if this approach is reliable when using different spigot versions so I thought of saving it as nbt (by using nms) and converting it to a base 64 string, what do you suggest me?

[tender shard]

ItemStacks are already ConfigurationSerializable, why not just use that?

you can get it as Map<String,Object> or as byte[]

[worldly ingot]

Alternatively, depending on where you're serializing it, you can use the output and input streams

[lost matrix]

Spigots ItemStack serialisation is rubbish. It breaks every now and then. Try serializing a head with textures for example.

[tender shard]

that always worked fine for me

[tender shard]

items serialized in older versions will deserialize fine in newer versions, but not the other way around

[lost matrix]

I had so many problems with Map<String, Object> -> Gson -> String -> Base64 encode

[worldly ingot]

you can use the output and input streams

Why do people not know about these my goodness

[tender shard]

I already said to use byte[]

[worldly ingot]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/util/io/BukkitObjectOutputStream.html
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/util/io/BukkitObjectInputStream.html

[lost matrix]

You mean the BukkitObject streams?

[tender shard]

yes

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/core/src/main/java/com/jeff_media/jefflib/ItemSerializer.java#L61

[lost matrix]

Yeah but they need CraftBukkit on the classpath

[worldly ingot]

No they don't?

[carmine rivet]

Hi! is there anyone good with packets/nms who knows how to register a new biome, willing to help me with an error i'm getting?

[worldly ingot]

Those are Bukkit API classes

[tender shard]

yeah it's in norma bukkit

org.bukkit.util or sth

[lost matrix]

Since when? Let me check that.

[worldly ingot]

I linked the docs above!

[tender shard]

at least since 1.16.5

probably since forever

[worldly ingot]

Way, WAY before that

2013

[tender shard]

1.16.5 is the oldest craftbukkit version i got open

[worldly ingot]

If you intend on registering a new biome, you're better off doing it with data packs. It's the officially supported way to do it in vanilla

[lost matrix]

Well i remember them being only accessible with CraftBukkit on the classpath for a long time. Never knew they where exposed

[carmine rivet]

i'm doing it to change the fog color around the player

[cold field]

SO.... is it safe to assume that things gonna work even for items with PDC etc?

[swift onyx]

Hey there, just a quick question.
I don't know if this is the right place, if not, I'm sorry.
I have a few custom items in my 1.19.3 plugin and wanted to cancel the event when a player tries to remove enchantments with a grindstone, I found the org.bukkit.event.inventory.PrepareGrindstoneEvent but the server seems to give me the warning:

[16:44:34 WARN]: [Project] "Project v1.0.0" has registered a listener for com.destroystokyo.paper.event.inventory.PrepareGrindstoneEvent on method "public final void dev.dasischbims.project.listener.GrindstoneListener.onPrepareGrindstone(org.bukkit.event.inventory.PrepareGrindstoneEvent)", but the event is Deprecated. "Server performance will be affected"; please notify the authors []..

However when I look into the Javadocs it clearly doesn't say deprecated anywhere on the page. Is this intended or is this an issue with paper?

[eternal oxide]

?fork

[undone axle]

SpigotMC maintains the Spigot server. If you are using a fork of Spigot (such as Paper, Airplane, Purpur, or other derivative works), you should seek support in the appropriate Discord servers.

[swift onyx]

Thanks, I'll go there instead

[tender shard]

wdym

[cold field]

I remember that spigot serialization system isn't the best system it easily breaks, most people says that it is unreliable.

[bright spire]

Hey! Is it possible to execute runTask() inside a runTaskAsynchronously() block?

I think the runTask() is not executing at all for some reason
