remove the extends JavaPlugin from line 19

[weak meteor]

the one thing is always a semi colon

[earnest lark]

yea but you can usually find that

um

no

[echo basalt]

in my case it's a .exceptionally

[earnest lark]

should

[echo basalt]

you'll need to change some stuff around

[earnest lark]

i didnt looik through everything tho

so yea

[echo basalt]

because you use schedulers and all

so

Guide to dependency injection: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-dependency-injection/

[echo basalt]

will be useful

[earnest lark]

Entity tnt = target.getWorld().spawnEntity(target.getLocation(), EntityType.PRIMED_TNT);

im bieng dumb

[echo basalt]

TNTPrimed tnt = world.spawn(location, TNTPrimed.class);

is shorter imo

[earnest lark]

nah

bc it returns a EntityType

[echo basalt]

If you only have an entity type, then just cast

[earnest lark]

yea

[echo basalt]

TNTPrimed tnt = (TNTPrimed) world.spawnEntity(location, EntityType.PRIMED_TNT);

[earnest lark]

yea

just realized

i always forget i can cast things

now i feel dumb

[echo basalt]

done with work for the night, world templates save and load now

got some school work to do, would be cool if I could go to bed before 5am

That's part of the plugin.yml

[earnest lark]

what is your plugin doing

[echo basalt]

making a copy of that world, saving it to a database under a name

and then loading that world copy and pasting it on a "grid"

[jagged monolith]

Add the api version into your plugin.yml

[earnest lark]

are you using world edit as a base

[echo basalt]

It's one of the serializers

I can make my own or use any other

[earnest lark]

oh ok

[echo basalt]

It's just a matter of writing one of these

[earnest lark]

gonna be honest

got no idea what any of that is

[echo basalt]

interfaces, javadocs

generic types

[earnest lark]

oh

[echo basalt]

My idea is to make future plugin development easier

if I want to make an arenas plugin I can just use this as a base

and do something like

[earnest lark]

ok can you explain something

why use ->

[echo basalt]

They're lambdas

Basically code blocks that can be executed at any time

Here's an example:

public void doSomethingThen(Runnable runnable) {
  doSomething();
  runnable.run();
}

and you can call it like

doSomethingThen(() -> /* run code here */);

and that code block that you pass as a parameter

will be called after doSomething()

[earnest lark]

oh

so it takes in a code segment as a paramater bassicaly

[echo basalt]

Yeah pretty much

and that code segment will be executed whenever the method I'm calling decides

In this case I'm using CompletableFutures, which are basically a chain of actions that will happen

They let you do stuff like

CompletableFuture<Void> operation = runAsync(() -> {
  // run this code async
  someExpensiveDatabaseOperation();
});

operation.thenRun(() -> {
  // something else (same thread as the operation above)
  ...
});

You can pass such futures as parameters, or return futures so other methods can then hook into your action

[earnest lark]

gotcha

never understood it

[echo basalt]

here's a technical explanation

But here's a more realistic approach

public interface StorageDatabase {

  CompletableFuture<StoredData> fetchPlayerData(UUID playerId);
  CompletableFuture<Void> storePlayerData(UUID playerId, StoredData data);
  CompletableFuture<Void> deletePlayerData(UUID playerId);

}

public class MySQLDatabase implements StorageDatabase {

  @Override
  public CompletableFuture<StoredData> fetchPlayerData(UUID playerId) {
    return CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> {
      // SELECT WHATEVER FROM SOME TABLE WHERE PLAYER ID = playerId
      return object;
    });
  }

  ...
}

public class FlatFileDatabase implements StorageDatabase {

  private final File userFolder = ...;

  @Override
  public CompletableFuture<StoredData> fetchPlayerData(UUID playerId) {
    return CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> {
      // get file from folder, read file, get object
      return object;
    });
  }

  ...
}

And then to use it

StorageDatabase database = plugin.getStorageDatabase(); // whatever

database.fetchPlayerData(playerId).thenAccept(data -> {
  player.sendMessage("Your data is here!");
  // do something with the data
});

And this way you guarantee that your data is being fetched async, yet still associate a code block to run when the data is available

And we use an interface to standardize our storage operations, so that the process of data serialization is handled by our implementation, and not by the rest of the codebase

[true perch]

Using YamlConfiguration how do you get a list of all the items found in a config file?

  '1':
    Name: Test 1
  '2':
    Name: Test 2```
For example, return a list of `1, 2` from the `items` category.

[remote swallow]

for (Strng key : YamlConfiguration.getConfigurationSection("items")) {
    // do stuff
}

[kind hatch]

.getKeys(false)

[remote swallow]

oh ture

i forgot abou that

would there be a better way to store a list in a sql database than making it a single string

[echo basalt]

create 1 row for each element

or make a list identifier and then a ton of rows

like

let's say you have a Map<UUID, List<String>> permissionMap

then you have a table

UUID VARCHAR(36) PRIMARY KEY UNIQUE | permission

and just a bunch of

<uuid> | permission1
<uuid> | permission2

[remote swallow]

only problem is there is no set limit to how many entries could be in said list and i think that it may very large after like 2 weeks

[crystal bay]

making an anticheat is fun lol

but also very brutal

[regal scaffold]

To create multi-line holograms

With display entities

Is the approach still use a offset?

And have a display entity per line in hologram group?

[echo basalt]

p much

[regal scaffold]

Alright

[misty ingot]

hey so I am looking forward to creating a couple of custom mobs and I have been able to find examples of such on various forum posts but I cannot figure out how to make these mobs spawn randomly around the world, like for example, skeletons or zombies which would automatically spawn all around your minecraft world

[echo basalt]

The most logical approach is to just look at how nms spawns mobs

[sullen canyon]

it is more about math ig

[sullen canyon]

if there is an event when mobs spawn then you can cancel thia event and spawn your own mobs, but I am not sure if this thing exist

[misty ingot]

yeah I want like

very natural spawning of the mobs

and be able to configure the spawn chances of certain ones

[void skiff]

how do I execute command as nLogin countdown instead of sending it to actionbar?

I wanna make it bossbar

[sullen canyon]

this might be like getting a few chunks around a player and count mobs in them and if it is not enough then you spawn more

[misty ingot]

didnt you just ask that

[misty ingot]

hmm

[void skiff]

and no one gave an answer ;-;

[misty ingot]

the whole idea is kinda like, there are "doge"(s) which can very rarely spawn in your world (they are just renamed wolves) and if you right click them x and y happens

[misty ingot]

patience is a virtue

[void skiff]

ok

[sullen canyon]

tbh I don't understand what you need, could you please tell more?

[void skiff]

like

instead of sending a message to actionbar for login countdown

I want it to send some command instead

[sullen canyon]

what login countdown

what command

sorry I don't understand

[void skiff]

the nLogin

if I logged in

it will show the timer in actionbar

is it possible to change it to execute some commands

instead of sending message to actionbar?

[misty ingot]

so you want to edit a plugin

to make it execute commands instead of sending a timer in the actionbar you would first have to have the source code of the plugin

then go in the class where its happening and change the behaviour of the timer system

[vital sandal]

how do I remove pom.xml from my plugin when compile?

[kind hatch]

You don't? It's not included in the final jar.

[kind hatch]

You could probably add an exclusion filter to the shade plugin.

<plugin>

                <filters>
                    <filter>
                        <artifact>*:*</artifact>
                        <excludes>
                            <exclude>META-INF/maven/**</exclude>
                        </excludes>
                    </filter>
                </filters>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

[void skiff]

ok

[kind hatch]

I just spent an hour tracking down and dealing with timestamps and getting incorrect values all because I forgot to use the right config path. 💀

I'm saving data for groups within a yml file. Any feedback on the formatting before I move on?yaml groups: 6ae3444c-6921-42fd-baee-5a718fc2487d: // the group's unique ID Name: Test Group Acronym: TG Description: Test Description.

[lost matrix]

Roles are enums, right?
Then you probably have aMap<Role, Set<GroupPermission>>.
The permission structure should be naturally structured like this then:

  Permissions:
    MEMEBER:
    - KICK_MEMBER
    OFFICER:
    - TELEPORT_TO_STRUCTURES

[remote swallow]

would it be reliable to divide an int by 10 or 100 to keep track of something being true/false relating to that number

try to think of ways i can make my life somewhat easier in the future

[lost matrix]

public void doSomething(int ticks) {
  if(ticks % 10 == 0) {
    // Do something
  } 
}

I guess this is what you want?

Exevutes every 10th tick

[remote swallow]

not really, im bored so im making suggestion plugin and i have to keep track of what suggestions a player has interacted so to say with and if they upvote or downvote it, and this is most likely gonna be stored sql so i pretty much have to keep track of a map<int,bool> in sql without knowing how big said map could get so cant do infinite collumns

[true perch]

Your feedback is highly appreciated. I have now updated it to your suggestion 😄

[lost matrix]

Ok so... the int is the ID of the suggestion and the map belongs to a player, is that right?

[remote swallow]

yeah

ill probably end up using 2 tables at the minimum

[lost matrix]

Then create a table
| UUID | SuggestionID | Boolean |

With a natural primary key or a composite key of the first two columns

| Generated | UUID | SuggestionID | Boolean |

[remote swallow]

i feel really dumb

[lost matrix]

Nah thats not an easy decision. There are multiple ways of handling this with relations.
The main problem here is finding out a diff when saving the data again.

[remote swallow]

i think the thought came from when i didnt realise i had to save what they chose too so was going to store an int list as 1 string, thanks for the help lol

been as this would stand the chance to have new data quite often would it be better to be saving it on shutdown + every hour instead of every datachange

[lost matrix]

Yeah dont save it on every data change

[hybrid spoke]

save it on every letter of the data change

[remote swallow]

much lag

[hybrid spoke]

but you dont lose nothing on crash

very save

[remote swallow]

oh true

if you crash im deleting the entire databse

start from scratch

[hybrid spoke]

just dont have any persistence at all

[torn oyster]

what part of redis do i use to communicate between servers? is it the subscribe thingy

should* not do

[misty ingot]

is there a way to make a config file which the user is not allowed the edit?
(basically need a config file which the plugin can grab data from but I really do not want the user to be able to edit it)

[lost matrix]

topics

[torn oyster]

how would i do that with jedis

[remote swallow]

file locks most likely

[lost matrix]

Kepp it in your resources and load it from inside the jar

[misty ingot]

how would I do that?

[remote swallow]

JavaPlugin#getResource

returns an input stream, convert to input stream reader and you can YamlConfiguration.load it

[misty ingot]

I zee

[lost matrix]

Step 1) Change to Redisson
Step 2)

RTopic topic = redisson.getTopic("myTopic");
int listenerId = topic.addListener(SomeObject.class, new MessageListener<SomeObject>() {
    @Override
    public void onMessage(String channel, SomeObject message) {
        //...
    }
});

// in other thread or JVM
RTopic topic = redisson.getTopic("myTopic");
long clientsReceivedMessage = topic.publish(new SomeObject());

[misty ingot]

my solution to the item issue I mentioned is to just create a completely different file for items which are fundamental to the plugin and then grab those from there

or actually yk what I think I might just remove the ability for people to have an items.yml at all and just make it easier on me

[torn oyster]

what benefits does Redisson provide over Jedis?

[lost matrix]

Pros: Better in every way and simpler to use
Cons: Bigger

[torn oyster]

ok so how do i connect using password and host+port

figured it out all good

[torn oyster]

also what is the "SomeObject.class" meant to be

[lost matrix]

You can send objects through redisson.

You can just use String.class if you want to send a simple String

[torn oyster]

ohh

[remote swallow]

if we have primitive and non primitve for a lot of stuff in java why dont we have a primitive string

[lost matrix]

primitives are one word at max

[remote swallow]

but string is 1 word

[misty current]

strings are an array of chars basically

an immutable one

[lost matrix]

one word from the architecture

So on most systems one word is 64 bit. And the jvm word size is always 64 bits.

"In computing, a word is the natural unit of data used by a particular processor design"

[remote swallow]

ahh

[lost matrix]

this makes reinterpret casts really fast

Wrapper are garbage in the first place.

Thats why valhalla needs to happen

[eternal night]

valhalla

[remote swallow]

why do i hear immigrant song

[lost matrix]

[tardy mist]

true, some processors do support other word sizes like 32-bit, 128-bit etc

but 64 but is by far the most common nowadays

btw

the word size directly impacts the maximum memory address space a program can access

a 64-bit jvm can access up to 264 bytes of memory

@misty current what you need to remember is

references are 64-bit

long and double primitives are 64 bit

objects headers contain 64-bit values

if the jvm word sizes changes

the jvm implementation and all compiled bytecodes would need to change to accommodate that

so the word size is static for a given JVM or CPU architecture

[misty current]

i wasnt the one who asked the question, but i appreciate the clarification anyways

[tardy mist]

oh, who was the person

[remote swallow]

that'd be me

[tardy mist]

oh than

[lost matrix]

*Specifically for the jvm yes

[tardy mist]

thats what i said

[lost matrix]

Ah ok, wasnt clear to me

Generally MMUs can use multiple words to map into a much bigger physical memory iirc

But that was like 1st semester so cloudy on that front

[tardy mist]

yeah

for example

a typical modern system may have 4TB to exabytes of physical memory

but map that into a 64 bit user address space

the MMU performs address translation between the virtual addresses

used by programs and the physical addressed mapped to RAM chips

btw

MMU can expand the addressable memory space beyond the natural limits of the word size

so for example

a 64-bit CPU with 4-level page tables can support up to 256 petabytes

thats 252 bytes

of mapped memory using 4KB page sizes

like

[green falcon]

does spigot (or any forks) have an API for nms.Brain?

[tardy mist]

@lost matrix imagine some systems uses larger pages like 2MB, 1GB... to support even bigger virtual memory spaces

into the exatbyte and zetabyte ranges

[lost matrix]

Huh?

Oh i see. Topics are pretty much that.

ive been trying to make a custom item plugin, that when used, gives potion effects
ive been looking for how to do it but what i got doesnt work, how can i make it work?

[quaint mantle]

"Dont ask to ask just ask."

[somber night]

im entirely new to this

[misty ingot]

https://dontasktoask.com

[lost matrix]

You should always identify custom items by a tag, set inside the PersistentDataContainer of the ItemStack.
Then its just a matter of checking interaction by using the PlayerInteractEvent and applying an effect to them.
All of this should be separated into multiple methods.

[somber night]

thats kind of what i have, its probably just a smiple misplaced } i just cant find

[eternal oxide]

clearly a chatGPT incoming

[hazy parrot]

Why not send your code

[somber night]

it contains a drug name and im not too sure if thats allowed

[misty ingot]

then just...

censor it

[somber night]

thats.... true (im dumb)

[lost matrix]

Wait, since when does anybody care about a written drug word?

[kind hatch]

Since people became afraid of words.

[somber night]

[lost matrix]

Nice. But implementing the crafting logic is the actual hard part

[somber night]

should i just send it then?

[lost matrix]

Just whiff it

[lost matrix]

Out of all the drugs, why this? XD

[echo basalt]

you gotta create a fake crafting table tile entity

[lost matrix]

Breaking bad i suppose

[echo basalt]

to trigger the craft events so you can have full plugin compat

[somber night]

Not really breaking bad, just fun with friends

[kind hatch]

Eh, the only thing it can't really do well is recipes that require items with an amount greater than 1. It handles everything else pretty well.

[lost matrix]

How about you add cocaine that makes you run faster instead of meth that just fks you up for no reason.

[echo basalt]

PrepareItemCraftEvent

[misty ingot]

copying hypixel anyone? lol

[somber night]

Giving speed effect is just an example, i have various kinds planned such as one that launches yo up, and one that gives every effect

[lost matrix]

Anyways. First of all:

Delete this. It does nothing

[misty ingot]

hypixel has that for its skyblock gamemode

[kind hatch]

Can't say I've had this problem. If I had the item, the recipe book would act accordingly, even with custom items.

[misty ingot]

exact design

[earnest lark]

is there a way to give a Sheep the noAI tag

[misty ingot]

it was only joke bro why you have to be mad ;-;

[lost matrix]

Alright the code looks ok at first glance. Can you describe what you expect
to happen and what is actually happening?
Also check the console for errors when starting and while interacting.

[misty ingot]

isnt it like, ultra painful to program all the recipes into it tho?

[somber night]

just craft an item, right click it and gain the effects after a few seconds

[kind hatch]

Entity#setAI()

[lost matrix]

Write a translater from vanilla recipes to yours

[lost matrix]

Alright and what is happening?

[somber night]

What ends up happening is that the item isnt craftable at all after i added the onPlayerInteract

[earnest lark]

i was looking on the spigot summary and it wassnt on there

[somber night]

either that or it wont let me get the .jar file from intellj

[earnest lark]

nvm it was in inherited section

[lost matrix]

What does that even mean?

[somber night]

It wont let me build the plugin

[lost matrix]

Then send the build log

[misty ingot]

croc and balls anyone?

wc

[lost matrix]

Your IDE should tell you exactly whats wrong

[somber night]

cant right now, but i will when i can

[kind hatch]

Where do they say it's intentional? That bug isn't marked as Won't Fix.

[somber night]

i tried doing what it said, and when i implemented the plugin the item wasnt craftable

[lost matrix]

How would you know if the plugin doesnt even compile?

[echo basalt]

[somber night]

when i added this it let me compile it, as well as a few missing }

[earnest lark]

how do i make it so that my commands have the values you need to input auto input?

[misty ingot]

do you mean that they just have default values if someone doesnt enter args?

[earnest lark]

like

[lost matrix]

yes

[misty ingot]

well you can either use acf and bang your head against the wall or make use of ✨ if statements ✨ and set arg values if none is entered

[lost matrix]

Just write your own crafting logic then

[earnest lark]

yea i thinkl

[misty ingot]

it took 2252 lines of code to make MineMemer (in its current state)

good for you

ok fine

its basically DankMemer but in mc (and with more stuff because mc has less limitations than discord in that matter)

[kind hatch]

Probably a redundant question, but if I already have per player configuration files, wouldn't it be smarter to put cooldown information inside of their file instead of a separate file that would keep track of everyone's cooldowns?

Already do, but I'm talking about persistent cooldowns. That data has to be stored somewhere.

Hmm, guess I'll redo my implementation then. :p

[misty ingot]

I am thinking of having something like that for MineMemer just so we could have some textures for the custom items but it will require ever user to download the resource pack seperately and all

*and ofc add a config option to disable that

[terse ore]

?dontowkr

?dontwork

which is the cmd?

[misty ingot]

what are you trying to do

[terse ore]

?doesntwork

[misty ingot]

will still require the admin to set that stuff

what doesnt work bud?

[kind hatch]

?notworking

[undone axle]

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

ShadowMaster used the cmd I was looking for

That's where PotionMeta comes in.

Idk gradle, but I'd check your compiler settings.

[young knoll]

Make sure you are actually building with gradle

[pale pulsar]

how can we change idk gradle

because my gradle bug

[misty ingot]

everyone using IntelliJ should have the MinecraftPlugin extension can we just make a PSA of that or something?

[pale pulsar]

when i create project i said this but i dont know how change the gradle

[kind hatch]

Idk, there's a lot of people here who advise against it for whatever reason.

[eternal oxide]

Only if you have oodles of memory.

only use plugins to save time when you already know how to do it all yourself.

[lost matrix]

Just wanted to share this bc i thought it looked satisfying 😄

[kind hatch]

Workdistro?

[lost matrix]

Yeah it uses the concepts of it ^^
Ive created a compressed schematic format. Thats why the different block types
are pasted in succession

[kind hatch]

I was wondering about that. It looks pretty cool though.

Have you considered looking at the litematica format? I think it can do subregions and that would be a really cool feature to have.

[lost matrix]

No i havent looked into that... I should give it a read.
But i need the format to copy quite a few extra things like quest triggers
and custom spawn locations etc

[young knoll]

Spigot api to write to NBT files when

[lost matrix]

PR it 🥲 (plox)

[kind hatch]

The answer to every spigot feature request.

[lost matrix]

Non blocking world loading when?

[flint coyote]

Would enable servers to load worlds on demand and therefore improve performance. Would be lovely

[young knoll]

I mean PDC is an NBT wrapper so ig I could just add a saveToFile method to that

[kind hatch]

Yea, but it doesn't grab or modify any vanilla NBT data.

[river oracle]

Is md against possibly modifying vanilla data?

[kind hatch]

Likely

[young knoll]

Directly yes

That’s what the api is for

But this would be targeted at custom NBT files

Would also need a reader

NBT is a pretty cool format tbh

Not the most compact but easier to work with than raw binary files

[supple island]

can someone tell me what's wrong with this

[kind hatch]

Well it's roots are in JSON, sooo.

[supple island]

hold on

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ABZM6jpY-1yOWqup5iVu57YguxI6tEIPtADDrwy4Y-A/edit

it's from quality armory

i was doing some config and when i did /qa reload in game an external error came up

[young knoll]

I doubt MD would go for it though

[cobalt thorn]

im having some problem for calculating the maxPage and getPaginableItems
https://sourceb.in/LMvuDpipQZ

the item don't appear because the getPaginableItems is made wrong and maxPage is the same even changing items or size

[young knoll]

If anything that would just encourage people to avoid the api

Which is kind of counterproductive

[cobalt thorn]

probably even i calculated wrong the page and items im sure about that

[icy beacon]

while compiling, what takes the most load, ram or cpu?

[kind hatch]

CPU

[icy beacon]

well that explains why my compile time is shit

ty

[kind hatch]

If you didn't know, CPU benchmarks include both chrome and firefox compile times as a marketing factor now.

[icy beacon]

oh

lol

good to know

[lost matrix]

Let me share some from my impl

  protected boolean hasNextPage() {
    int lastPageIndex = (int) Math.ceil(contentList.size() / (double) elementsPerPage) - 1;
    return pageIndex < lastPageIndex;
  }

  protected boolean hasPreviousPage() {
    return pageIndex > 0;
  }

    int startIndex = pageIndex * elementsPerPage;
    int endIndex = Math.min((pageIndex + 1) * elementsPerPage, contentList.size());
    List<GuiButton> currentPageButtons = contentList.subList(startIndex, endIndex);
    for (int i = 0; i < currentPageButtons.size(); i++) {
      GuiButton button = currentPageButtons.get(i);
      setButton(i, button);
    }

  protected void nextPage(Player viewer) {
    if (hasNextPage()) {
      pageIndex++;
      this.decorate();
      this.renameFor(viewer, getCurrentTitle());
    }
  }

[cobalt thorn]

In theory what i need is the start index and endIndex with the math.max i have the items for the page

[lost matrix]

You just put all possible items in one big list.
Then you create a pageIndex which stores your current page index.
Then to calculate which sub-list of your content list you need:

    int startIndex = pageIndex * elementsPerPage;
    int endIndex = Math.min((pageIndex + 1) * elementsPerPage, contentList.size());

This defines a part inside your whole content list.

Afterwards you want to break out a part of the content list

List<GuiButton> currentPageButtons = contentList.subList(startIndex, endIndex);

Those are the items on the current page

[cobalt thorn]

Ok thanks, for calculating the max page how should i do it, if you watch the code i made i have a big list with all stored and i divide for the pages

Should be what i need to do for calculsating them

[kind hatch]

Your max page will be dependent on how many things you are showing in your GUI.

[cobalt thorn]

Yes so itemslist \ size

[kind hatch]

You may need to round up, but that's how you get your total pages.

[icy beacon]

for some reason i had obs on

after turning it off my compile time got 20 seconds faster

inspirational

[young knoll]

Jeez what are you compiling

[vocal cloud]

Based compile times?

[icy beacon]

a medium-sized project

though it's in kotlin so compile time is bound to be exhausting

but 1 minute is painful

without obs it's 40 seconds

[young knoll]

I don’t even think it takes me that long to compile spigot

[icy beacon]

what are your specs

because mine are fucked

[vocal cloud]

Really bad single core

[icy beacon]

hmmm

i'm at i5-6500 with 16gb ram

[vocal cloud]

This ram is 1333 ECC

[icy beacon]

hm?

[vocal cloud]

So while I have 197GB of it, it's slow as hell

[icy beacon]

wait you have 197gb of ram

lmao

[vocal cloud]

Yes

[icy beacon]

why though

[vocal cloud]

Why not?

[icy beacon]

fair enough

[kind hatch]

DDR2 or DDR3?

[vocal cloud]

DDR3

ECC 1333

[kind hatch]

I didn't know DDR3 could go that low. :p

[icy beacon]

btw did you deliberately pick slow ram or did it just happen somehow

[kind hatch]

ECC is typically slower due to the correction code, but for servers slower ram can be better than extremely fast ram.

[icy beacon]

how come?

[vocal cloud]

I checked it's actually 2133

give or take

It's pretty bad regardless. I got it for free

[icy beacon]

o

[vocal cloud]

The guy I bought it from sells used servers he said I could either have 64GB or for no charge 197

[icy beacon]

this looks like pain

[kind hatch]

I think the biggest factor is power consumption. Servers need to be efficient to run at scale. Otherwise your wallet will burn quickly.

[icy beacon]

is your name Tantalus by chance

[icy beacon]

oh

makes sense yeah

[remote swallow]

Wtf

[vocal cloud]

It's pretty dope to have. Running an MC server with 150GB of ram

[remote swallow]

Does it actally do anything perf wise

[icy beacon]

probably just allows for more players?

[vocal cloud]

Besides causing the GC to have an aneurism when it needs to collect?

[icy beacon]

lmao

[vocal cloud]

Bets on when it'll be done?

[icy beacon]

bro are you compiling minecraft the game

[vocal cloud]

A mod. Locally this would take a minute or so

My server has nowhere to be

[kind hatch]

I bet 2hrs

[vocal cloud]

Allocated 50G. We'll see if that fixes my issue

[kind hatch]

You could just use Inventory#contains()

[remote swallow]

also i dont get the point of the item stack array just to make it a list

stream it directly

[lost matrix]

Or call Inventory#all(ItemStack) to even find where those items are

[remote swallow]

yeash

no need for the item stack array if you only use it once

[lost matrix]

...

Arrays.stream(content).anyMatch(someItem)

Anyways none of those make sense for you Scallop

[vocal cloud]

while loop like that looks dangerous

[lost matrix]

Infinite while loop

[kind hatch]

Woah, while loop?

[eternal oxide]

inventory.contains(item)

[somber night]

is there any way to hide chat with code? Ive been looking but can only find a way to "mute" players

[kind hatch]

Depends on what you mean by hide.

[lost matrix]

You need to listen for outgoing packets

And stop them from being sent

[remote swallow]

while(string.equals("amongus")) {
    System.out.println("funny");
    break;
}

[river oracle]

Sounds like a job for packet events

[somber night]

so no way to stop only one player from recueving them?

[lost matrix]

Top 10 stupid ways to replicate an if statement

[remote swallow]

number 1

the while loop

[lost matrix]

Sure, there is a way. But you need to listen for packets.

[kind hatch]

You could cancel the AsyncPlayerChatEvent and distribute the messages to the players you want, but it's quite the setup and it breaks every other chat plugin.

[remote swallow]

why do you check if it equals it just to check if it contains an item

shouldnt that be an event#getInv

[eternal oxide]

just need to remove that specific player from the recipients list in async chat

[kind hatch]

Ayo, when did that become a thing?

[eternal oxide]

Since async 🙂

[lost matrix]

    String name = "harald";
    for (int i = 0; i == 0 && name.equals("harald"); i++) {
      System.out.println("funny");
    }

[kind hatch]

Really? I'm just blind then? I don't remember it being a thing. At least not back in the 1.12-1.14 days.

[remote swallow]

should this hurt my brain

[lost matrix]

Thats just another if statement

Poorly done

[remote swallow]

oh god its also infinite

[lost matrix]

    for (;name.equals("harald");) {
      System.out.println("funny");
      break;
    }

This works as well

[lost matrix]

No it just runs once

[remote swallow]

ohh

my brain works

totally'

[eternal oxide]

It was in 1.8 and I believe 1.7

[kind hatch]

Oh my god it really was there from the start. I can't read after all. :3

[vocal cloud]

while loops are only if the amount of iterations are unknown

[kind hatch]

I can only think of one time I've actually had to use one.

[vocal cloud]

Example, you're receiving data from a stream.

Or if you have to check if an inventory is equal to your GUI inventory

is there any "easy" so to say way to tell when the server is crashing

[eternal oxide]

too many variables

[remote swallow]

if a servers crashing tps would die right, so i could just do something if tps is below like 5

[eternal oxide]

not always

apart from you'd have no way to get the TPS if it's crashing

[remote swallow]

if i can always get it while it is running, when i cant get do stuff

[eternal oxide]

you can only tell if it HAS crashed, not if it's crashing

[remote swallow]

im guesing there is no way to run code once it has crashed

[eternal oxide]

Somethign akin to watchdog

not unless you are running your own process

[young knoll]

I usually just run Bukkit.getServer().disableCrashing

[brave sparrow]

That’s essentially how it should tick to be fair

[flint coyote]

Well there's still the 50ms delay

[young knoll]

That's part of the loop

[flint coyote]

Sure is but it's probably not part of the tick() method

[young knoll]

Specifically it's

[cinder abyss]

I tried to get it but this killed me x)

[remote swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/i-didnt-ask-gif-21520662

[flint coyote]

player.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH).getValue();

[cinder abyss]

okayyy thanks (I used .ordinal() lol)

[remote swallow]

do you have mc dev

are you on ij ultimate

most likely mc dev

[remote swallow]

how many terminals do you need

[prisma steeple]

how do I place a block at a certain location?

[eternal oxide]

location.getBlock().setType(material)

[prisma steeple]

thank you!

[young knoll]

yes

or if you want drops breakNaturally

[prisma steeple]

yep figured it out, but thx anyways

[prisma steeple]

instead of setType?

[young knoll]

mhm

[young knoll]

You don't make your language with pure machine code?

[prisma steeple]

naw i use electrical currents

[young knoll]

I prefer billiards callouts

Address #45AF into corner pocket

[stable dawn]

anyone know if it’s possible to set the player’s attack indicator

[worldly ingot]

I don't think you can set it, no

You can get it though

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/HumanEntity.html#getAttackCooldown()

That's about it

[misty ingot]

I prefer chess moves

queen to D5

[flint coyote]

You can still use nms and reflection to set it

[worldly ingot]

It won't update the client

If it did, we'd have a setter for it in API lol

[flint coyote]

Oh it's about the client. I thought he just wanted no cooldown

[stable dawn]

yeah was hopping to set it to display a current attack cooldown for some custom attacks i’m making

[flint coyote]

You can set an item cooldown if those attacks require a specific weapon/staff (any item)

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, the same cooldown that ender pearls use

[stable dawn]

that sounds like a great idea thanks

it’s per material right?

[young knoll]

It's per material

[worldly ingot]

I think it's Player#setCooldown(Material)

Yes

[prisma steeple]

how do I set per se, the X coordinate of a Location data type variable?

[young knoll]

Location#setX?

[flint coyote]

Keep in mind that setting the cooldown won't prevent the usage. It's just the visual so you have to implement that yourself.

[prisma steeple]

why use the hash?

[young knoll]

To indicate it's an instance method

[worldly ingot]

Javadoc notation

You would do location.setX(0)

[prisma steeple]

Ahh, I see what i'm doing wrong

[stable dawn]

currently doing a skill system which uses custom model data on a singular item so wouldn’t be useful for that
but the cooldown on the main weapon for cast time sounds like it would work well,
thanks again guys

[prisma steeple]

jesus thats stupid, instead of doing

location.setX(expression) 

I was doing:

location.setX() = expression

lol

[flint coyote]

Well you still have the actionbar that you can utilize to display multiple cooldowns

[stable dawn]

currently using that to display buffs with negative space 😂 could definitely work though if i put in the time

[flint coyote]

yeah or multiple (shorter) bars like this (maybe using the | character instead)

Stole that image from some spigotmc thread

[stable dawn]

neat idea thanks 🙏

[misty ingot]

progress bars are surprisingly easier to do than 10 year old me thought they were

or well actually everything is easier with a bunch of maths

[young knoll]

Maffs

[flint coyote]

Harder than setting a material cooldown but yes it's not much of a challenge.

[pallid escarp]

NoClassDefFoundError: org.bukkit.Translatable
any ideas why?

[worldly ingot]

Likely need to update your server

It was introduced in 1.19.3 iirc

[cobalt thorn]

Hi, the List is empty and so no items even if i add the items but seems like its not called even if it is
Paginable: https://sourceb.in/cvFx9xbYiC
Gui: https://sourceb.in/sTlQaeafk9
setIconsPage(iconsMaker()); seems to not be called and so it can't calculate nothing an everything is 0 (not the size) and arrays empty

[worldly ingot]

It's not really an easy list to maintain. We have a feature flag/datapack API in the works I think which should cover that

[misty ingot]

thank you for reminding me to actually create command cooldowns for MineMemer

sad acf doesnt have anything for that

I have to actually use my brain for this one

[flint coyote]

It's just a Map<UUID, Long> with the last use time. You could also remove the players UUID onQuit

[kind hatch]

I might be overthinking this, but I currently have a per player configuration setup and I've come across the need to store cooldown information so that they will persist across restarts. The way I'm currently managing the files is through an interface so that I can switch between my storage solutions, but the interface is massive. There's methods for everything that can be stored in the file and some QOL methods as well.

The potential issue I am seeing is that in order to add the cooldowns to their player file, I need to not only write the data to the file, but also apply the cooldown immediately after. Now, I have a CooldownManager class that can assign cooldowns to people and it stores that info in a List<Cooldown>, but if I want this class to actually be the manager, I have to call upon it through the interface implementation.

This seems weird to me because up until this point, I haven't needed to call upon another class in the interface implementation up until now. I'm worried that I'm creating coupling between these classes when there probably shouldn't be. However, I don't currently see a better way to keep both the player files and the cooldown list in sync.

[misty ingot]

I know but that still does require usage of le brain

[kind hatch]

I forgot to mention that this also changes how I will end up using the CooldownManager class. Instead of calling it directly to assign cooldowns to players, I would now have to call the interface method instead. It feels like the manager class is kinda redundant at this point since it's only ever used in one class.

[flint coyote]

If I'm understand this right, you have

• An interface with an implementation to manage user files
• A cooldown class
• A cooldown manager class to set cooldowns (and maybe keep track of them)
• Whatever classes that use the cooldown

Basically what you want to do is to let your manager have an instance of your Interface to interact with and the necessary functions you need inside your other classes that utilize the cooldown.

So for example a command with a cooldown would require the manager in it's constructor (or any other DI way)
Then when the command runs it would call something like cdManager.hasCooldown(Player, command). Therefore the manager would do return interfaceImpl.getCooldown(Player, command).isStillValid() or however your cooldown class is built

[prisma steeple]

can someone explain why any code under the green line doesn't get executed?

[flint coyote]

it should get executed. Maybe you exported your .jar wrong or forgot to restart/reload the server

[kind hatch]

So if I'm following correctly, the manager class is kinda like a middle man? To where in your example the command class could still call cdManager.addCooldown/removeCooldown and the manager then basically passes that along to the interfaceImpl?

[desert spade]

you're setting z to y location + 1

i assume that's a mistake

[prisma steeple]

ah yes it is

[vocal cloud]

Not to mention the fact that you're setting and modifying the same variable to itself

[placid tangle]

Can anybody help me with set home plugin??

[prisma steeple]

huh?

[vocal cloud]

The IDE even highlights it

[prisma steeple]

yeah i see what you mean, but think of it as I'm resetting it to an original block position

[desert spade]

blocklocation and blocktobreak are referencing the same thing. you probably want to be doing blockToBreak = blockLocation.clone() to stop blockLocation being affected

[vocal cloud]

I'm not sure it's doing that

[prisma steeple]

i'm aware

i'm trying to fix it

[cinder abyss]

Hello, how can I remove 1 durability of an ItemStack ?

[prisma steeple]

how is block location effected?

What you're saying makes sense, thats my issue, it's like it keeps building itself on what it was told before,but i thought anything after the equals operator doesn't get effected

[desert spade]

both blockToBreak and blockLocation reference the same object. if you change the value of one, the value of the other will also be affected. you're not creating a new location object by just equalling them

clone() creates a new location object, which means the original location object will not be modified

[prisma steeple]

huh. is this in normal java too?

[flint coyote]

Yes the manager will be used to keep track of active cooldowns and will be your only way of setting/updating them.
Think of it as a helperClass aswell.

So basically if your interface just has setCooldown(player, command, time) which sets the cooldown to the given time, then your manager could have helper methods like setCooldownRightNow(player, command) that would simply call interface.setCooldown(player, command, System.currentTimeInMillis()); or getRemainingCooldown(player, command) that would then return storedTimestamp - currentTimestamp. Obviously those are super simple examples (and not the best method names either) but that way you can make it as complex as you want without ever touching the interface that should only be used to store/read the data and does not do any processing.

Therefore you are also following the single responsibility principle of SOLID. Interface does the file handling, manager does the delegation+translation and command talks to your manager.

[prisma steeple]

so,

int v = x;

makes x also equal to v?

[desert spade]

not for ints no

[prisma steeple]

ah i see

only bukkit data types

[desert spade]

uh i wouln't say that

[prisma steeple]

u want me to delete it?

[kind hatch]

Ok cool, so I just needed to adapt my manager class then. Ty.
I think I'll be running into another problem shortly, but we'll see.

[desert spade]

iirc most objects are passed by reference in java, meaning it'll be the same instance whichever reference you use. primitive data types (int, float, etc) don't do that though. it's not just a bukkit thing. ignore that im dumb

but that's besides the point tbh, just whenever you're modifying location it's a good idea to clone the original one if you want to keep the original location for the future.

[misty ingot]

there are limitations to custom mobs, you can really only change mob behaviour without use of mods

[flint coyote]

It's a common concept. You want to build your class hierarchy in a way that you can replace each part. Technically you could even make an interface for your manager (although you'll only have one so it doesn't make sense). Following this concept you can implement your interface for flatfiles and databases since both just read/write data. You manager could be used for cooldowns in ticks or cooldowns in seconds - or you could even create a completely different manager that handles other things, like storing and receiving player inventories while offline. That depends on how deep you abstracted your interface.

[misty ingot]

you can start off by looking for samples of code on forums or stackoverflow if you are that desperate

in that case you could listen for when said mob is spawned and just give them the items and effects

[prisma steeple]

thanks a lot:)

[misty ingot]

    private void loadItemsResource() {
        InputStream is = getResource("items.yml");
        InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
        items = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(isr);
    }

why the hell does this still generate an items.yml in the folder

basically yeah

[misty ingot]

ok nvm im dumb I used an old build of the jar 💀

[ivory sleet]

mem leak

you need to actually close it

(with try with resources if possible)

[misty ingot]

readmy second message lol

it wasnt a mem leak it was a brain leak

[ivory sleet]

that produces a memory leak also

[misty ingot]

technically

[ivory sleet]

practically

[misty ingot]

not for every part of the brain

[ivory sleet]

depends on whose brain, but for the jvm's brain it does

[ivory sleet]

no

java is only pass by value

[desert spade]

oh wait

yeah

my bad lol

[ivory sleet]

well in theory ur argument isnt wrong

[eternal oxide]

Its odd to get your head around until you realize it's almost all pointers

[ivory sleet]

but semantically java is strictly pass by value

[desert spade]

i just fully got mixed up about what those two were lmao. my bad

[ivory sleet]

ye all good

[flint coyote]

It's easy to mix it up. Pass by value basically means that you are handing over the value of a variable instead of a pointer to that variable.
If you store an object in a variable (in java) your variable holds a reference to that object. By passing the variable that holds a reference, you are still passing the value of the variable (which in this case is a reference).

?nms

[undone axle]

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

[ivory sleet]

yes, but by definition java will pass the value from semantic variables, you can compare this to javascript which allows you to destruct an object by a semantic means as the semantic variables are passed

or well in js iirc its called call by sharing so not exactly the same but roughly

what database file is locked in SQLite means

it is error in the code?

[glossy venture]

probably that another handle is open to the file

or it can just not access it i guess

[small lynx]

it is my fault or host fault?

[glossy venture]

host fault

[kind hatch]

Probably yours since SQLite is local.

[small lynx]

i will ask him to delete .db file. it is does not get fixed i will attempt to fix

[glossy venture]

well its the fault of whoever set it up

not the developer

no dont delete the db file

[kind hatch]

I was under the assumption that he is the programmer.

[glossy venture]

yeah he is

but hes helping someone else

[glossy venture]

anyways tell him to check if any other programs are connecting to the database, if thats intentional tell him to use mysql because sqlite doesnt support multiple connections

[kind hatch]

It also doesn't hurt to double check that you are actually closing connections after your queries.

[quaint mantle]

How do I make net.minecraft defined in intellij? Would anyone happen to know?

[kind hatch]

Your main path looks wrong.

[kind hatch]

Gonna have to be a little more specific? Are you wanting to use NMS or?

[eternal oxide]

?nms @quaint mantle

[undone axle]

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

[quaint mantle]

Yeah I wanna use nms however net.minecraft isn't defined

[kind hatch]

It's cause you need to run BuildTools, The link above will help get you setup.

[eternal oxide]

all package names should be lowercase

Classes camel case

[quaint mantle]

Ah alright thank you, also is there any possible way to add enchantment glows to items without actually enchanting them without the use of NMS swear I saw a function for it but am not quite sure

[green prism]

I am creating a plugin that I am going to sell, in your opinion, should I also add the ability to change the lore/displayname of the gui items through configuration?

[ivory sleet]

Yes

If I were you I’d use a library to parse that also

So u dont have to reinvent the wheel

[green prism]

I'm using MiniMessage actually

[ivory sleet]

Good

[green prism]

Thank you so much for your answer

[kind hatch]

You'd probably need to use NMS if you wanted to avoid setting an enchantment, but I'm not even sure if there is an NMS method to do so.
The common approach is to just put an incompatible enchantment on the item and hide the enchant item flags.

[ivory sleet]

Well I always think the taste of the consumer is right @green prism

like “the consumer is always right when it comes to taste” and providing customizability is a good way of extending/addressing various tastes consumers may have

[quaint mantle]

Well its like nether stars don't have an enchantment yet they have that glow

[abstract sorrel]

can anyone help me i want to change the block break animation for a block using nms?

[eternal oxide]

what do you want to change?

[abstract sorrel]

the stage of the animation

[eternal oxide]

then you don;t need nms

[abstract sorrel]

what i'm trying to do is make blocks decay over time, which requires the plugin to show the block break animation event when a player is not mining that block, is that more helpful?

[eternal oxide]

there is an api method to set the block damage but I forget it's name

[quaint mantle]

Also last question I use this code:

package com.kunosyn.synmc;
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.NamespacedKey;
import org.bukkit.attribute.Attribute;
import org.bukkit.attribute.AttributeModifier;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemFlag;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ShapedRecipe;
import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.ItemMeta;
import org.bukkit.attribute.AttributeModifier.Operation;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class NetherStarSword {
    public static ItemStack sword;
    public static void init() {
        createSword();
    }

    public static void createSword() {
        sword = new ItemStack(Material.WOODEN_SWORD, 1);

        ItemMeta meta = sword.getItemMeta();
        meta.setDisplayName("Nether Star Sword");

        List<String> lore = new ArrayList<>();
        lore.add("You can hear the Wither\'s whispers...");
        meta.setLore(lore);

        AttributeModifier modifier = new AttributeModifier("generic.attackDamage", 50, Operation.ADD_NUMBER);
        meta.addAttributeModifier(Attribute.GENERIC_ATTACK_DAMAGE, modifier);
        meta.setUnbreakable(true);
        meta.setCustomModelData(125879);

        sword.setItemMeta(meta);

        ShapedRecipe recipe = new ShapedRecipe(NamespacedKey.minecraft("nether_star_sword"), sword);
        recipe.shape(" S ", " S ", " N ");
        recipe.setIngredient('S', Material.NETHER_STAR);
        recipe.setIngredient('N', Material.NETHERITE_SWORD);
        Bukkit.getServer().addRecipe(recipe);
    }
}

The issue with this is that the "+50 attack damage" shows up as like while on head, torso, etc instead of only when on main hand. Is there any way to specify in the item meta that I only want it applied to the when on main hand?

[glossy venture]

show plugin.yml and project file structure

aight nice

i put my class because my name of my class is firstplugin , Lol

I tried using the bat file script to automate the process for getting the build file and the directory it created is empty after it said done

Did I do something wrong?

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#sendBlockDamage(org.bukkit.Location,float)

[tardy mist]

you need to add this to the attribute modifiers for slot HAND

this will make the damage bonus only apply to the main hand slot

[quaint mantle]

(replyed to the wrong message mb)

Would you be able to provide an example of implementing and registering an enchantment?

[chrome beacon]

There's methods for each slot ^^

bruh

my plugin is not loading

[eternal night]

the api-version does not take minor versions

1.19 instead of 1.19.4

[quaint mantle]

so I have to upgrade the spigot?

[eternal night]

no

[quaint mantle]

or the whole project?

[eternal night]

you update the api-version in your plugin.yml

from 1.19.4 to 1.19

[quaint mantle]

let me check

hmmm

nice

lol

im using maven btw

Found this in pom.xml

maybe the <version> has something to do with it?

[chrome beacon]

No

[quaint mantle]

idk if it is the same thing tho

[chrome beacon]

The problem is in the plugin.yml

[quaint mantle]

interesting

ive been trying to make a custom command (/live) that adds a red colored [LIVE] tag to a player and makes them not see the chat, however when implemented onto the server theres no "/live" command, not even the console

    public static Component translate(String string) {
        return MiniMessage.miniMessage().deserialize(string).decoration(TextDecoration.ITALIC, false);
    }

    public static String translate(Component component) {

        return translate(translate(string));
    }

[quaint mantle]

plugin.yml says 1.19. what do I do?

[prisma steeple]

anyone know how I can find the direction/side of the block which was being destroyed in a block break event

if it helps to make sense, i'm trying to make a type of drill plugin

[eternal oxide]

commands not command in plugin.yml

[somber night]

thats all? im so stupid if it works now

[quaint mantle]

I'm haven't made my own plugin yet so idk if this is possible. But maybe try getting the direction from the player that broke the block

you can only turn your face fast enough so it shouldn't be possible to get it wrong

[eternal oxide]

you can;t get it accurately

they could be hitting the side of the block

[prisma steeple]

as in up down, left right, front back

[quaint mantle]

coords from the event and then direction from the player

[prisma steeple]

the direction doesn't matter though,

you can still hit 3 possible sides

from a certain angle

[quaint mantle]

good point

ray cast?

[somber night]

still doesnt work

[eternal oxide]

A player could be hitting any one of 3 BlockFaces to break a block. No way of telling which

[prisma steeple]

There is a way.

[quaint mantle]

ray cast

[prisma steeple]

pft yeah

as if

[eternal oxide]

Still no

[quaint mantle]

I do that with datapacks

• it works like garvage so I only use it for projectiles tho *

[prisma steeple]

you sure theres no way?

[eternal oxide]

You can only trace to teh block, you can;t tell which face they hit

[quaint mantle]

Idk, I'm still trying to open my first plugin but something's wrong and you guys aren't reading my thing

[prisma steeple]

add this to the api

[eternal oxide]

could be any one of three

[quaint mantle]

so I'm just waiting

[prisma steeple]

show

[eternal oxide]

?paste your latest.log from your server

[undone axle]

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

[somber night]

where can i find that (im new to all this)

[prisma steeple]

yes, replace the version to 1.19 alone

with nothing else, try that

[eternal oxide]

in the logs folder on your server

[quaint mantle]

bro can't read I wanna die

I sent a screenshot

it literally says 1.19

[prisma steeple]

Not that one you imbicile

to the one i replied to

[quaint mantle]

I deserve that one

ok give me a sec

[somber night]

how much is required, is since i joined the game enough or since i started it

[quaint mantle]

It didn't let me even try

[prisma steeple]

Do

1.0-SNAPSHOT

[eternal oxide]

from the start

[eternal oxide]

You shoul be changing it in your plugin.yml not your pom

[quaint mantle]

u sure u know what you're saying?

[quaint mantle]

changing what

its already in 1.19

[prisma steeple]

it's already 1.19 though

[eternal oxide]

The error you posted clearly says you are trying 1.19.4 in your plugin.yml

[prisma steeple]

yeah i'm sure, thats how it is

[quaint mantle]

the error says otherwise

[eternal oxide]

You either didn;t save the changes or didn;t update the jar on your server

[prisma steeple]

yeah

try rebuild it

[quaint mantle]

it doesn't get more saved than this

[prisma steeple]

from the artifacts

[eternal oxide]

stacktrace never lies

[somber night]

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

[quaint mantle]

so I just make the whole project from scratch? it only had a println either way

[tawny remnant]

why is this code not blocking me from getting the empty() nor is preventing me from clicking my own inventory to dupe the items?
https://paste.md-5.net/newiyiyicu.php

[eternal oxide]

You didn;t update the plugin on your server java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.bukkit.command.PluginCommand.setExecutor(org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor)" because the return value of "me.methsmp.liveplugin.LivePlugin.getCommand(String)" is null

[somber night]

how do i do that

[eternal oxide]

fix your plugin.yml to say "commands:" instead of "command:" then rebuild and update the plugin on your server

[quaint mantle]

@eternal oxide

?

[eternal oxide]

what?

[prisma steeple]

Huh?

[eternal oxide]

what is "empty()"? in the code its expecting a method but I'm assuming you are expecting it as some comparison result

[tawny remnant]

an itemstack

[quaint mantle]

you said rebuild it

[eternal oxide]

not to you

[quaint mantle]

oh

good thing I didn't do it then

anyone know how to fix it?

[eternal oxide]

show your empty() method

[tawny remnant]

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

[eternal oxide]

looks fine, but you need to compare with java if (!empty().isSimilar(e.getCurrentItem())

no clue if your logic is correct though

do you actually want to run that code if it's not your empty ItemStack?

Your next line will also fail

[tawny remnant]

if the item is not empty() or bottom inventory then yes

[eternal oxide]

if(e.getView() == e.getView().getBottomInventory()) { wqill never pass

you are comparing an Inventory to a View. Two completely different objects

[tawny remnant]

so e.getView.getBottom == player.getInventroy?

[eternal oxide]

possibly

it's a check that will be true at some point#

[somber night]

done that, the command works but i can still see chat

[eternal oxide]

you need to listen to the https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/AsyncPlayerChatEvent.html

then loop over all recipients and remove any you don't want to see chat

[quaint mantle]

SORRY IF I'M BEING ANNOYING (repost)
last time in case someone hasn't seen it 'cuz I really don't know what to do anymore.

you are using maven, what IDE?
