[quaint mantle]

just for comparison that is what a normal pom looks like https://paste.md-5.net/exawawigeg.xml

ur is way to short

copy missing parts from this one

or at least necesarry parts

you dont need the luck perm repository

[thick gust]

which

[quaint mantle]

build for example

you need that i suppose

and it should say the plugin name right here

i feel like this is more work then just creating a new project honestly tho..

[thick gust]

why does my entire project contain errors??

can't find any classes of spigot api..

this is my pom file so far:

okay when editing it as you said

now I can click the run maven build button

[quaint mantle]

yh+

[thick gust]

idk where it's being exported right now though

[quaint mantle]

the default folder is next to the src folder

named target

i think

[quaint mantle]

it will probally create it once you export

click thid

this

in lifecycle

[young knoll]

Just do package

Unless you need it in your local repo

[eternal oxide]

package not install, unless you want to bloat your local maven with multiple jars

[thick gust]

install:

package doesn't work either:

[hazy parrot]

seems like question for google

[analog snow]

chatgpt can answer you that

[tardy delta]

smh discord

i even more want to make my own client now to remove the bloat 🥺

[quaint mantle]

do it

[ivory sleet]

mc client or discord client

[thick gust]

import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
import com.mojang.authlib.GameProfile;
import com.mojang.authlib.properties.Property;

These lines of code are highlighted as an error since I setup maven

[young knoll]

At least the games store is gone

[hazy parrot]

https://www.twilio.com/blog/5-ways-to-make-http-requests-in-java doesn't seem really outdated

[tardy delta]

discord

[young knoll]

You’ll need to add the dependency for Apache commons and authlib

[tardy delta]

the last client i tried was able to see channels i didnt have access too 💀 (not contents tho)

[worldly ingot]

HttpClient with Java 11 is great

[quaint mantle]

oh you are missing dependecys. In maven add dependencys the same way you did with spigot

[young knoll]

Yeah because discord sends that to a client for some reason

[hazy parrot]

its nothing specific to bukkit or spigot

[tardy delta]

i have no idea how their protocol works so gl ig

[thick gust]

like just add the spigot-1.12 lib in dependencies tab?

[tardy delta]

||could see every staff channel 💀||

[young knoll]

You can see members too

[quaint mantle]

no search for the dependecies you use online and add the maven thingy for it in the pom

[young knoll]

In hidden voice channels

[tardy delta]

no clue

[quaint mantle]

if you search it its normaly right at the top

[shadow gazelle]

What event do I need to use to stop an experience bottle from being thrown by a player?

[worldly ingot]

Either a ProjectileLaunchEvent or a PlayerInteractEvent would work fine

[quaint mantle]

projectile

[worldly ingot]

If it's async it's whatever

Gotta do what you've gotta do

[quaint mantle]

well how often does someone join

[worldly ingot]

HttpClient in J11 has async-specific methods

[hazy parrot]

just curious, why you need it

[thick gust]

found this on a stackoverflow thread but it's paperspigot xD

<repository>
   <id>paper-repo</id>
   <url>https://papermc.io/repo/repository/maven-public/</url>
</repository>

[worldly ingot]

Then you're all set

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/20/docs/api/java.net.http/java/net/http/HttpClient.html

It gives an async example

[young knoll]

But that’s 20!!!!

[quaint mantle]

just tell me what dependencies are you using rn

[hazy parrot]

yeah

[worldly ingot]

I like recent Javadocs 🙂

[hazy parrot]

oh, right

[worldly ingot]

I'll move to J21 Javadocs once it's generally available

[young knoll]

Mc on 21 when

[worldly ingot]

And then that Mojang updates in 1.21 or something

I mean come on. Please give us J21 on MC21

[analog snow]

specifically?

what do you want to verify?

[tardy delta]

when will we get mc 2.0

[young knoll]

They better not stay on 17 for a decade

[quaint mantle]

idk you make it

[worldly ingot]

I don't think they will

[worldly ingot]

I'd imagine they'll want to take advantage of some 21 features

[young knoll]

They stayed on 8 forever

[tardy delta]

im thinking about making a voxel game, minecraft seems a bit too ambicious

[young knoll]

But you can make minecraft in a week!

Haven’t you seen all those videos

[tardy delta]

those dudes know how to render, i cant even make pong 💀

well i nearly got it

im doing snake now 💀

[young knoll]

Trust me making a basic voxel engine in unity is definitely the same as making minecraft

[tardy delta]

ew unity

ill probably do it in c++, currently working in odin (yes thats a lang)

[quaint mantle]

@analog snow already did that

[young knoll]

What’s wrong with unity

[analog snow]

yeah

[tardy delta]

c#?

[shadow gazelle]

Is there some way to get a stack from it in that case?

[young knoll]

What’s wrong with C#

[analog snow]

so what do you want to send in that request?

[tardy delta]

ehh lets just say i dont like it, been 3 years ago now since i last used it

[analog snow]

okey

[young knoll]

C# is basically just Microsoft java

[tardy delta]

does c# have operator overloading?

[young knoll]

And in some ways better java

[analog snow]

and you want to send that from a minecraft plugin to your own api?

[tardy delta]

it kinda is in some aspects but its also the more shitty version

but thats for every lang

anyways gn

[analog snow]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[young knoll]

Yes

[analog snow]

https://paste.md-5.net/ejeqatoyan.cpp try using this in your plugin

[lavish robin]

Is there an easy way to control how much damage a firework rocket deals? (I still want decreased damage from distance, etc, but I want to change the base damage from the explosion.)

[tardy delta]

what about expressions that compile at compile time?

[analog snow]

👍

[quaint mantle]

okay so

[tardy delta]

like string formatting yes im looking at you java

[analog snow]

lmk if you need help just @ me or dm me @rare aurora

[compact haven]

is ConfigurationSection#contains(String) case sensitive?

If I pass "type" and the config contains "TYPE" will it be true or false

[worldly ingot]

I believe so, yes

[compact haven]

alright, thank you

[young knoll]

Just use all lowercase

:p

[worldly ingot]

Actually, use mock case

jUsT uSe AlL lOwErCaSe

[young knoll]

Guess I gotta make a PR to VeinMiner

[worldly ingot]

I'm excited to drop Material from VM in 1.20

[quaint mantle]

yaml is sensitive. Like extremly sensitive. With everything. An empty line and it will stop working. A tab to much everything will stop working. A space it will stop working

[worldly ingot]

Gonna be so great

Alchema too

[young knoll]

But what about the legacy users!!

[worldly ingot]

Fuck them legacy users. They can use 2.0.0

It still works well

[young knoll]

Ur getting a 1 star review

[worldly ingot]

k

[young knoll]

😡

[worldly ingot]

[analog snow]

np

[worldly ingot]

bet u feel good about urself, 1 star reviewing a free plugin

nerd

[wet breach]

it should get 5 stars

[young knoll]

It’s the only way I sleep at night

[worldly ingot]

I'd figured as much

[wet breach]

for doing away with the legacy

[worldly ingot]

New features take priority

When Bukkit API gets improvement, so do my plugins

[quaint mantle]

i will give it 5 stars mister admin will i get mod now uwu

[worldly ingot]

[young knoll]

He’s bribing staff!

[worldly ingot]

IT'S NOT BRIBING

hi guys which event can check village trade slots ?

[worldly ingot]

Spigot's repo hasn't changed at all. At least not since 1.8

[young knoll]

Aren’t you supposed to use like 3 repos for spigot

[worldly ingot]

No? Just 1

[quaint mantle]

show your current pom. and please use ?paste

[worldly ingot]

I mean unless you're counting transitive dependencies

[quaint mantle]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[quaint mantle]

put it in here

[young knoll]

Oh it’s a gradle thing that it doesn’t automatically recognize them

[thick gust]

whats '?paste'

[young knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-laugh-kek-intensifies-kek_intensifies-gif-10111909

[quaint mantle]

this. you can put your code in there so it doesnt fill half the channel

[thick gust]

ah hastebin / pastebin

[quaint mantle]

yh

i have a question if i prevent craft if paper has modeldata after if i create custom repice with model data paper
my custom repice will work ?

[young knoll]

What

[quaint mantle]

    @EventHandler
    public void get(PrepareItemCraftEvent e) {
        CraftingInventory test = e.getInventory();
        for (ItemStack stack : test.getMatrix()) {
            if (stack == null || stack.getType().isAir()) continue;
            ItemMeta meta = stack.getItemMeta();
            if (meta != null && meta.hasCustomModelData() && stack.getType() == Material.PAPER) {
                test.setResult(null);
            }
        }
    }``` i do this

[undone axle]

https://tryitands.ee/

[quaint mantle]

read and if i create custom repice with paper with model data

this repice will work ?

alright i try

i have 1 question more

which event control village trade slots ?

inventory click ?

[thick gust]

@quaint mantle https://pastebin.com/M108qamB

[quaint mantle]

actually no, i wanna prevent some trades

how can i do ?

[young knoll]

You cancel any recipe with paper that has modeldata

Custom or not

[thick gust]

still same error for the lines of code @quaint mantle

[quaint mantle]

idk anymore honestly @young knoll you do this idk

im getting brain damage from this

[young knoll]

Uhh

[quaint mantle]

😄

[young knoll]

I don’t use maven 🙃

[thick gust]

lol

[lavish robin]

How can I change the damage that a firework does?

[quaint mantle]

on dmg event get the firework and set the dmg

[young knoll]

Listen for the damage event and modify it there

[quaint mantle]

or well thest if the dmg cause is firework

i have a problem i create custom items with paper modeldata
but if player trade to villager with my custommodeldata paper item
this trade will work i wanna prevent this but which event do this ?

[lavish robin]

I thought about that, but I did not know how to implement damage decrease due to blocks in the way, like vanila.

[young knoll]

There’s a gradle plugin for it

Idk about maven

[eternal night]

https://github.com/jpenilla/run-task

for gradle ^

which, if you are coming from fabric, would be your build system of choice anywa-

[carmine mica]

for paper 😍

[eternal night]

😏

[quaint mantle]

wait so what exactly are you trying to do? just decrease the dmg in general?

[eternal night]

progress 🆙

[thick gust]

@quaint mantle

[quaint mantle]

no i still love maven

[eternal night]

you are presumably missing the mojang repo

[quaint mantle]

Live Love Laugh Maven <3333

fr i always get hated here when talking aobut 1.8

[eternal night]

[young knoll]

Good

1.8 succ

[lavish robin]

No, I want to have different fireworks that deal different amounts of damage, but I want to preserve the vanila mechanic of blocks in the way reducing damage.

[young knoll]

Let’s update it to just rm -rf when you start the server

[quaint mantle]

well then just decrease the amount of dmg by percentage

get the current dmg and decrease or increase it by ur wanted amount

[lavish robin]

Do I have to raytrace to figure out if there is a block in the way?

[young knoll]

Just multiple the damage

[quaint mantle]

what. Look bro just get the current dmg and multiply it with a number of your choice

[young knoll]

Yes the damage event should already reflect that reduction

[quaint mantle]

yep

[lavish robin]

Oh okay

What if I want to increase the range of the explosion howerver?

[quaint mantle]

well here we go

[young knoll]

Idk you’d have to test it

[eternal oxide]

increase explosion yield

[young knoll]

Afaik it’s after the reduction

Fireworks aren’t an explosion

So you can’t increase the yield

[eternal oxide]

ah fireworks

[quaint mantle]

well

[young knoll]

Afaik the only way to change the size is to change the shape of the firework

[quaint mantle]

you could spawn an exploding tnt on explosion

[young knoll]

Or make your own firework system

[quaint mantle]

and change its yield

[young knoll]

You could

But at that point just use World#createExplosion

[lavish robin]

Is there a way to control the base damage with that?

[quaint mantle]

you could pass the dmg from the firework into your new explosion

and basically do what ever you want with it

[young knoll]

No

Explosions don’t have a way to control damage

Minus manual intervention via the event

[quaint mantle]

well yh you could make a second event for when the explosion accours couldnt you

and change the dmg there

[lavish robin]

I guess, is the max damage of an explosion known so I can scale from that? or is it random?

[young knoll]

I believe it’s based on difficulty

[thick gust]

@quaint mantle isn't there a way to recreate the pom.xml without editing it manually

cuz that doesn't seem to work at all to fix the issue i am experiencing

bruhg

I was refering to the spigot wiki

I got it fixed

This was all u had to add @quaint mantle

[wooden owl]

Im knew I have question about the plugin i made, when loading up the server i keep getting the error with the plugin.

<Cannot find main class `org.invchest.spotify'>

the main class in the plugin.yml file is correct and spelled correctly

[thick gust]

@quaint mantle why the heck is the package though not available although I got the pom.xml correct and all libs added?

[wooden owl]

yes

you want me to send ss or the acutal code

ok it wont let me copy my ss to disc

[young knoll]

Authlib and Apache commons are not part of the spigot api

[undone axle]

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

https://prnt.sc/sD-36a0_S32v

[undone axle]

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/codeconventions-namingconventions.html

[wooden owl]

oh thankyouy

ok ty

[thick gust]

so how to add?

[eternal oxide]

you should not need authlib unless you are using nms

[young knoll]

Or ur doing custom player heads on an old version

😩

[rotund ravine]

😢

?update

[eternal oxide]

Most uses of authlib in plugins are due to using GameProfile for setting textures on skulls

[rotund ravine]

?update

[eternal oxide]

You shoudl use PlayerProfile now

[young knoll]

Iirc they are on 1.12

-_-

[eternal oxide]

oh 😦

Pascal for classes, camel for methods and variables

[river oracle]

is the world's uid.dat just the World UUID?

[young knoll]

Use whatever case the conventions say

If you are making your own language then you get to choose what you like best :p

But only then

[rotund ravine]

we call it lowerCamelCase for methods, variables and functions (with some exceptions) and UpperCamelCase for class namees.

[young knoll]

And C# is the same

Except it isn’t because it likes to fuck with me

[rotund ravine]

no

i don't read

ur welcome

[thick gust]

w8 but why do I get errors then when trying to export the plugin? 😮

[rotund ravine]

?nocode

[undone axle]

It’s hard to answer a programming question without code
Oh no! You ran into a problem. But no worries, people are willing to help, but first they need to see your code. This is because otherwise, they would be providing help based on guesses instead of concrete knowledge. Whether it be a compile error, runtime error, or an unexpected output, I'm sure that if you were to provide code, you'd receive a quick solution.

[thick gust]

I don't get why I got errors while hitting "package" on maven although all packages are imported it tells me they aren't found.

[livid dove]

https://youtu.be/JRfd5vR7MNw

[eternal oxide]

this is not your plugin then?

[young knoll]

Do you still have old dependencies

Like, depending on the jar

[thick gust]

it is? xD

[thick gust]

what do u mean? i built the spigot-1.12.1 jar using BuildTools.jar and Git CMD

[eternal oxide]

It's clearly not but, depend on spigot not spigot-api as you need authlib and apache commons

[thick gust]

@eternal oxide wanna see my pom.xml file?

[eternal oxide]

sure

[thick gust]

https://pastebin.com/M108qamB

[eternal oxide]

change the artifactId to spigot instead of spigot-api

[rain patio]

Hello, I am trying to save variables for when the server reloads to a json file, and I keep getting this error and idk how to fix it:
com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Use JsonReader.setLenient(true) to accept malformed JSON at line 1 column 4 path $

I'll provide the snippet of code I'm using

[hasty prawn]

What does the JSON look like?

[quaint mantle]

how can i delete item in inventory i use removeItem method but this deleting even itemstacks i only want delete 1 item

[hasty prawn]

setAmount(item.getAmount() - 1)

[rain patio]

it's literally just

{}{}[][]

[hasty prawn]

ok yeah thats not

[rain patio]

it wont generate what I need in the file? ik it's empty but it wont save any values to it?

[hasty prawn]

Well, you should be writing a JsonElement, not the HashMap and Sets directly. You probably want to use JsonObject, set the properties with values as the Map and Sets, and then write that JsonObject

[thick gust]

done.

[rain patio]

I hate to ask to be spoonfed code, but could you point me to an example of that?

[thick gust]

ayo actually export worked now

[hasty prawn]

Sure. Something like this;

JsonObject object = new JsonObject();
        
//Do this for all your properties
object.add("primaryRoleplayColors", primaryRoleplayColors);
gson.toJson(object, writer);

[rain patio]

Thank you very much

[thick gust]

I get a console error though @eternal oxide "invalid plugin.yml"

[eternal oxide]

you are building using artifacts in your IDE not maven

[hasty prawn]

Player#openBook() ?

[rain patio]

wait would i use the same object for all of them or would I make 4 separate objects?

[hasty prawn]

Yes. You just pass in the book ItemStack

[hasty prawn]

Same one

[rain patio]

oh okay cool

[thick gust]

You could make them separate I suppose, probably would look weird though (and may actually be invalid, depends how Gson handles that)

[thick gust]

I use package with maven

[eternal oxide]

show me

[rain patio]

I'm sorry I keep asking questions, is this in the load or the save? cause it says writer

[hasty prawn]

Save

[rain patio]

ohh ok

was my load method correct the first time then?

[hasty prawn]

You'll have to modify it slightly so that it grabs the Map and Sets from the key you set in save.

Sure, depends on what version you're using.

If you're using latest, which you should be, openBook is the way to go.

If you're using outdated server software, then yes, you'll have to use packets.

[thick gust]

@eternal oxide how should I show u it lol xD

[eternal oxide]

what IDE is that?

[hasty prawn]

Use openBook then

[thick gust]

IntelliJ Idea? 😄

[eternal oxide]

using an eclipse workspace?

ok

[thick gust]

yup

transfered recently

[eternal oxide]

show me your plugin.yml and an SS of your project structure for the resources folder

[rain patio]

how can I do this?

[hasty prawn]

Retrieve the JsonObject back from the file, and then start calling get on it.

[eternal oxide]

ss of your project structure. Is your plugin.yml in a resources folder in /src/main

[thick gust]

No its in /src/main/java

[eternal oxide]

it should not be

[thick gust]

so move both plugin.yml and config.yml from /src/main/java to /src/main

and its fixed?

[eternal oxide]

to src/main/resources

[rain patio]

I'm really sorry to keep asking for code, but I'm pretty braindead can you show me an example? I took an APSCA course this year and this is my first time developing a java plugin

[thick gust]

works fine now exporting, thank you so much @eternal oxide

[hasty prawn]

I'm not going to give you the code again, but I can point you in the right direction. Check the JsonParser class. It has what you need to get the JsonObject back.

[rain patio]

Thank you

[rain patio]

alright, well I figured out how to json parser I think, but how would i get the information from the json object back to the hashmaps and hashsets

[young knoll]

Yes

Try another entity

Iirc that event is weird with slimes

lol so there's no way to avoid slimes attack a specific target/player? XD

I could use magma slimes but I guess it'll be the same result

You can make a bug report about it

"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.

[fierce salmon]

Ok so I expect it to send the player the message "Nice Clutch", remove some blocks, teleport them to a certain area, play a sound, and set their inventory to the first slot being a water bucket, but instead, it just sends the message "Nice Clutch"

[sullen marlin]

wtf is a water bucket clutch

Im testing out protocollib and I know you have to instantiate the protocol manager in an onEnable function, but it looks kinda messy. Is there a better way to do it?

[wet breach]

Well I think it is more fair to say, devs don't play mc like everyone else do

Well some probably do, its just you are not very likely to see many devs play on popular mc servers or whatever

and if they do, they typically use different names or are very lowkey about it

I meant in general that there is devs that do play mc

I play MC, but I don't play on public servers

[river oracle]

I find MC base so boring

and most servers are so annoying and repetative

or your just bad :P

[wet breach]

I like to play just almost pure vanilla mc

[river oracle]

how do you find joy in vanilla it feels so menotinous to me

[wet breach]

a couple of QoL plugins and I am good

its a new strat trust

[wet breach]

I like to make redstone stuff

[river oracle]

mmm makes sense

I like to make farms nd stuff but it takes so long and you never use the resources

[wet breach]

why would I use a mod

when I prefer vanilla

[river oracle]

Create is awesome, you should atleast check it out

[wet breach]

sounds like something from BK

[river oracle]

Burger King

[wet breach]

close

BK is a mod developer

and a really good one

he had a couple of mods for trains specifically

but as far as I know, no one else has come up with a decent trains mod like BK did

while I got to see some trains, that video didn't seem particularly about trains

considering they were just riding a converor belt the entire time lol

that is fine, but that tells me it isn't specifically for trains which is still fine but it just means to me there is a lot that is going to be missing in terms of functionality

yeah but now I need an additional mod just for that lol

anyways I might check it out, idk. I am still thinking BK had the best mod for trains

BK = bergerkiller in case anyone doesn't know

[thick gust]

is there a way to add multiple splash potion effects while they are being thrown?
In this code snippet, I set a main effect twice, but I'm unsure if the weakness effect type just gets overwritten by the slow effect type...

    @EventHandler
    public void onThrown(PotionSplashEvent e) {
        ThrownPotion pot = e.getPotion();
        pot.setGlowing(true);
        pot.setCustomNameVisible(true);
        pot.setCustomName("§2Potionrausch");

        ItemStack potion = ItemBuilder.createItem(Material.SPLASH_POTION, "§2Potionrausch", null, null, 1);
        PotionMeta potionMeta = (PotionMeta) potion.getItemMeta();
        potionMeta.setDisplayName("§2Potionrausch");
        potionMeta.setMainEffect(PotionEffectType.WEAKNESS);
        potionMeta.setMainEffect(PotionEffectType.SLOW);
        potion.setItemMeta(potionMeta);

        pot.setItem(potion);
    }

Hello, after adding <classifier>remapped-mojang</classifier> to my pom.xml as detailed here https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/spigot-bungeecord-1-17-1-17-1.510208/#post-4184317, and running build tools with --remapped (I verified the new jars were created inside the local maven repo) The nms classes are no longer recognized, if I remove the <classifier>remapped-mojang</classifier> tag, it compiles fine, but everything is obfuscated.

[thick gust]

came up with this idea now with a single event, but this error appears, although parameters of the method are met.

[weak wasp]

Thats happening because potions are not entities you can spawn via the world. Try Player.launchProjectile instead

[thick gust]

Why does this event never occur although a splash potion hits an area as described in spigot wiki?

    @EventHandler
    public void onBlockThrows(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
        Player p = e.getPlayer();

            if (e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK || e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) {
                if (e.getItem().getType() == Material.SPLASH_POTION
                        && e.getItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("§2Potionrausch")) {
                            e.setCancelled(true);
                            Projectile proj = p.launchProjectile(SplashPotion.class, p.getLocation().getDirection());
                            ((Entity) proj).setCustomNameVisible(true);
                            ((Entity) proj).setCustomName("§2Potionrausch");
                            ((Entity) proj).setGlowing(true);
                            ((Entity) proj).setVelocity(p.getLocation().getDirection());
                            potions.add(proj.getUniqueId().toString());
                }
            }
        }
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onThrown(PotionSplashEvent e) {
        ThrownPotion pot = e.getEntity();

        System.out.println("pot0");
        if(potions.contains(pot.getUniqueId().toString())) {
            System.out.println("pot1");
            for(Entity ent : e.getAffectedEntities()) {
                System.out.println("pot2");
                PotionEffect slow = new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SLOW, 20 * 10, 1);
                PotionEffect slowDig = new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SLOW_DIGGING, 20 * 10, 1);
                PotionEffect weakness = new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.WEAKNESS, 20 * 10, 1);
                Bukkit.getPlayer(ent.getUniqueId()).addPotionEffect(slow);
                Bukkit.getPlayer(ent.getUniqueId()).addPotionEffect(slowDig);
                Bukkit.getPlayer(ent.getUniqueId()).addPotionEffect(slowDig);
                System.out.println("pot3");
            }
            System.out.println("pot4");
        }
        System.out.println("pot5");
    }

[wet breach]

your way of debugging might be flawed

I don't know anything about your list for potions or how it is created or obtained

I don't see how the uuid of the thrown potion would be in the list if the entity isn't created until then

[thick gust]

ArrayList<String> potions = new ArrayList<String>();

[wet breach]

that tells me nothing

[thick gust]

that's literally inside the huge code snippet lol

[thick gust]

that tells you how it is created respectively initialized.
that's what you asked for...

[wet breach]

and you are absolutely certain it is in fact in the list?

[thick gust]

even if it wouldn't be in the list, the event doesn't trigger

the splash potion gets thrown and the event is registered correctly in the plugins main class.

although all the conditions are met, the event does not occur. no console output...
"pot0" never appears as a message in console

[weak wasp]

Potion has the correct name and the player is in your list?

[wet breach]

I wonder if its because you cancel the interact event 🤔

[weak wasp]

I would put some debug code after your if statements. For example player is contained within witchcommands, action is right click, display name matches then you can see which if statement is stopping the event from triggering.

If it doesn't even get that far its got to be something with your registered event listener

Hmm maybe throwing a potion is not a right click action?

[lavish robin]

Bumping this, still no clue what I am doing wrong. Does the remapped-mojang rename classes like EntityPlayer?

[wet breach]

this doesn't make all that much sense. I think it is because of the interact event being cancelled. If the action is cancelled, then some proceeding events can't happen

since its as if it didn't

[wet breach]

did you read both posts?

there is another post in that post you need to read as well

odds are you didn't generate the remapped jar for your pom to use

well after reading seems you did, are you using the correct one ?

[lavish robin]

I added the second longer specialsource-maven-plugin one.

[wet breach]

what does your build log say?

[lavish robin]

Unrecognized symbol is what the short log thing said.

I will look for a longer log.

[wet breach]

using intelliJ?

[lavish robin]

Yes. Looked more, just a bunch of unresolved symbols. I am using the 1.2.2 version of the spectral source plugon.

Copyed the code from the ?nms link.

[wet breach]

have you tried clearing caches?

typically something you need to do every once in a while with intellij

[lavish robin]

Will try that.

[normal thicket]

yo guys just wanted to try out making plugins I downloaded mcdev on intelliJ but it show this any idea?

is it even neccesary?

or I can just go with Maven

[jagged bobcat]

Maven works or gradle even server jar

[normal thicket]

ok

[thick gust]

the interact event has nothing to do with the potionsplashevent though 😄

[wet breach]

well it can, I don't have the source up to see if it has any effect or not. But if you cancel an action that some other event relies on then that other event won't get activated

[agile hollow]

why that appen? https://pastes.dev/9SskTvOSdY

[echo basalt]

I hate this so much

[thick gust]

why though

[echo basalt]

Because you're repating yourself due to a poor data structure

Instead of having a bunch of collections

Let's rewrite it as such

Start by creating a Role / Class enum

public enum Role {
  TANK,
  WARRIOR,
  MAGE,
  WITCH,
  PRIEST,
  HUNTER;
}

And then instead of having a collection for each role, we use a map

private final Map<UUID, Role> roleMap = new HashMap<>();

public Role getRole(UUID playerId) {
  return roleMap.get(playerId);
}

public void setRole(UUID playerId, Role role) {
  roleMap.put(playerId, role);
}

public boolean hasRole(UUID playerId) {
  return roleMap.containsKey(playerId);
}

public Collection<? extends Player> getAllPlayers(Role role) {
  Set<Player> players = new HashSet<>();

  for(Map.Entry<UUID, Role> entry : roleMap.entrySet()) {
    UUID playerId = entry.getKey();
    Role playerRole = entry.getValue();

    if(role != playerRole) {
      continue;
    }

    Player player = Bukkit.getPlayer(playerId); 

    if(player == null) { // Make sure you remove players onQuit
      continue;
    }

    players.add(player);
  }

  return players;
}

feel free to make methods for the player too that just call getUniqueId

On your methods you could do something like

if(getRole(playerId) != MAGE) { // We only want to run this for mages
  return;
}

For saving, the most obvious approach would be <playerid>: <role>

but you can do like a uhh

reverse map where you have a Map<Role, List<UUID>> for saving but seems like a waste of performance

and that's pretty much it

[small holly]

Hey this is gonna be quite the odd question

I have added Lua support for my plugin for custom mob mask effects and I need a way to spawn an entity with custom pathfinder goals (I have used the build tools to get access to nms in my plugin but I can't seem to access it in lua)

[normal thicket]

guys stupid question what archetype should I choose for plugin development?

in intellJ

[small holly]

I know I can do it in Java and call the method from Lua but I need the pathfinder goals to be able to be edited in the lua script

because if the Lua had access to it then Id be able to do CraftWorld.cast(world)

[wet breach]

maven Java application or something to that effect if you want to build with maven

not sure if it has one for graddle

but if it does and prefer gradle choose that instead

[thick gust]

Already got such an enum:

public enum Classes {
    TANK("Tank", "§8Tank", "Stecke so gut wie alles weg, was dir zugefügt wird!", 1, new ItemStack(Material.SHIELD)),
    WARRIOR("Warrior", "§7Warrior", "Stürze dich mit deiner Geschicklichkeit in gewagte Schlachten!", 2, new ItemStack(Material.STONE_SWORD)),
    MAGE("Mage", "§1Mage", "Verursache gewaltigen Schaden und bekomme die Oberhand!", 2, new ItemStack(Material.GOLDEN_CARROT)),
    WITCH("Witch", "§dWitch", "Mittels alten Zaubern gehen dir deine Tränke nie leer!", 2, new ItemStack(Material.POTION)),
    PRIEST("Priest", "§4Priest", "Lehre deine Verbündeten SAFE zu spielen!", 3, new ItemStack(Material.INK_SACK, 1, (short) 1)),
    HUNTER("Hunter", "§2Hunter", "Schleiche als Meister der Schützen herum!", 2, new ItemStack(Material.BOW));

        // Rest of class (private vars, constructors, etc.)...
}

[echo basalt]

Yeah so just

use a map

This still doesn't explain why I am experiencing an issue with the filecfg not recognizing an uuid in there...

[echo basalt]

no clue but it's a bad idea regardless

and adding more classes just means you'll have more lists to check

so I'll stop you right there

[thick gust]

lol

[grim oak]

Hi what would be the best way to store the my data with SQL. I have users and each user can do ‘quests’ and I want to store the xp of all of the quests, should I just store it like uuid quest1_xp quest2_xp …
Considering there may be 50+ quests eventually, or is there a better method i could use (I’d like to use SQL for storing my data)

[hazy parrot]

Do you need to access xp of offline players?

Also does quests have additional info?

[echo basalt]

have a table for each quest

and assign each quest an id

then a table where it's like

<playerid> | <questid> | progress

[thick gust]

already tried googling this, but no success. how to make a snowball invisible (perhaps with some packets)?

    public void shootParticlev2(Player player, EntityEffect entityEffect) {
        Location location = player.getEyeLocation();
        Vector direction = location.getDirection();
        Snowball snowball = player.launchProjectile(Snowball.class, direction);
        snowball.playEffect(entityEffect);
        snowball.setShooter(player);
        snowball.setSilent(true);
        snowball.setBounce(false);
    }

[echo basalt]

player.hideEntity is a thing

in older versions you can just send a single packet, yeah

[thick gust]

There's only a hidePlayer() function.

[echo basalt]

maybe hideEntity is a paper thing and I'm stupid

[thick gust]

Snowball != Player 😉

[echo basalt]

do you not have eyes

[thick gust]

prolly, since i'm using spigot i need to work around this

[hazy parrot]

hi guys, i'm getting a "Cannot resolve symbol" error on FieldUtils here? Pretty sure this has something to do with the protocollib stuff, no idea what the cause is or anything.. this all happens near but not at the top of the file :P

protcol lib is in the dependencies and whatnot

[echo basalt]

probably a util that's no longer there?

[livid atlas]

wdym

like it doesn't exist in protocol lib anymore?

or?

[echo basalt]

probably

[livid atlas]

huh

well

now what...

[hazy parrot]

just access fields using standard reflection ig

[livid atlas]

the only time it's used is like

once

[livid atlas]

how?

[thick gust]

How can I check if a snowball reached ground respectively gone?
I tried this but it doesn't work at all:

    public void shootParticlev2(Player player, Particle particle) {
        Location location = player.getEyeLocation();
        Vector direction = location.getDirection();
        Snowball snowball = player.launchProjectile(Snowball.class, direction);
        int taskId = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(Rpg.getInstance(), new BukkitRunnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                //player.getWorld().spawnParticle(particle, snowball.getLocation(), 1);
                player.playEffect(snowball.getLocation(), Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 1);
                Location snowballLocation = snowball.getLocation().subtract(0, 1, 0);
                if(snowball.isDead() || !snowball.isValid() || snowball.isOnGround()
                    || snowballLocation.getBlock().getType() != Material.AIR) {
                        snowball.remove();
                        this.cancel();
                }
            }
        }, 1, 1);
        snowball.setShooter(player);
        snowball.setSilent(true);
        snowball.setBounce(false);
        PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy packet = new PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy(snowball.getEntityId());
        ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(packet);
    }

[echo basalt]

ProjectileHitEvent

[grim hound]

!snowball.isValid() && snowball.getLivingTicks() > 600 would be enough

How can I get a custom player head knowing the skull id?

[grim hound]

!snowball.isValid()

[ocean hollow]

chatGPT gave me that method, but it doesn`t work. I changed "+" to "-", and i want it to rotate the other way. regardless of +, - it spins in one direction

[grim hound]

how much degrees did you set?

[ocean hollow]

4.5

[grim hound]

it spins in one dir regardless of '+' & '-'?

[ocean hollow]

yeah

[grim hound]

then try getting the location, setting the yaw and teleporting

like this

        Location loc = armorStand.getLocation();
        loc.setYaw(loc.getYaw() + degrees);
        armorStand.teleport(loc);

if this doesn't work, something else it interrupting

[ocean hollow]

thanks, it works fine, even better than this code

[grim hound]

How can I get a custom head (an ItemStack variable) knowing the skull id?

[hard lion]

How can I get the original block that was changed by a Falling Block in EntityChangeBlockEvent?

[mild tundra]

Hey can someone help me making a plugin for a server

[grim hound]

isn't it just EntityChangeBlockEvent#getBlock?

[grim hound]

ye, wassup?

[mild tundra]

It is a very big plugin but it is out of my mind because i want to make like Custom Powers

shall i send it here on DMS?

[grim hound]

dm I guess

[hard lion]

Well assuming a falling block turns into a normal block when it lands it can be a block too.
Last time i was working with that event it was very inconsistant

though the event shoud fire before the block turns into the other one

[grim hound]

what do you exactly mean by changed by a Falling Block?

Like grass getting replaced or smthg?

[hard lion]

for example when a cobweb falling block falls on the ground
and changes the air block to cobweb

[grim hound]

Then I dunno

getBlock() should be the from block, and getTo() should be the changing to material

[hard lion]

i'll see what happens

[glossy venture]

would this be faster than doing pos / 8?

[calm robin]

how can i find the cardinal direction a player is facing? im currently trying to use player.getEyeLocation().getDirection and splitting that vector into its x and z components. issue is that it only gives me -1, 0, or 1 in the x and z components and its impossible to determine which direction they are facing

[glossy venture]

217,340,386 moves generated per sec

ez

[glossy venture]

im pretty sure there is something like Entity#getFacing

which would apply to player too

yeah

[calm robin]

thanks

[eternal oxide]

getFacing is only for Entities which are Directional, not Players

[eternal oxide]

getDirection returns a Vector. it points precisely where they are looking

it is not an x,y,z location, it's a unit vector

[calm robin]

ive got a thing that parses x and z and finds cardinal from there

[eternal oxide]

parses x and z?

[calm robin]

gets x and z from that vector then if abs(x) > abs(z) and x positive its north

[eternal oxide]

do you mean you want to know if the player is facing more North than East?

[calm robin]

or whatever

like

i need the block on the ground next to them in the direction they are facing

[glossy venture]

tf dont players have a direction

its in the Entity class

[eternal oxide]

you don;t need any fancy math for that

[glossy venture]

so i assume it works for any entity

[calm robin]

well its working for me now

[glossy venture]

the getFacing?

or your own math

[calm robin]

all of it

[glossy venture]

lmao aight nice

[calm robin]

im getting what i need

[eternal oxide]

loc = player.getLocation();
direction = loc.getDirection();
block = loc.add(direction).getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN);```

that is going to work on Player location, if you want to use EyeLocation you need to setY(0), then .normalize() to make it a unit vector again

[eternal oxide]

You may be correct also

I've never even seen that method 🙂

other than for things like Hanging

[glossy venture]

its in Directional block data too

[eternal oxide]

Yep, thats where I've used it before

[tardy delta]

why making it so complicated 💀

[glossy venture]

speed

[eternal oxide]

unless you are doing millions of calculations per tick

[tardy delta]

hardware is fast and i dont think bitwise operations will do much of a dif

[glossy venture]

nah this is for a chess engine

[tardy delta]

how are you measuring?

[glossy venture]

running shit a lot

looking at passes

[tardy delta]

ideally should run a benchmark cuz just running smth and measuring the elapsed time is inaccurate

like gc starting takes away some ms

[glossy venture]

isnt a benchmark running shit a lot and measuring the elapsed time

and i think / 8 is basically as fast as the bitwise shit but just to be sure ill use bitwise

because maybe on other platforms division is slow

[tardy delta]

🤷‍♂️

[glossy venture]

or smth

[tardy delta]

lmao

[glossy venture]

fuck

i left in debug

[tardy delta]

well ye they are true about the branch prediction misses

[glossy venture]

now its crashed my gralde daemon

[young knoll]

Is this the new stockfish

[tardy delta]

gradle 💀

[glossy venture]

yessir

[tardy delta]

imagine not knowing how to chess but making a chess game 💀

[glossy venture]

i play chess

im bad

but i do play it

[tardy delta]

ye just imagine it

[pseudo hazel]

any decent compiler will optimize divisions or multiplications with powers of 2 to bitshifting anyways, there is no need to outsmart the compiler

[glossy venture]

yoooo 10,000,000 passes/sec

[tardy delta]

also depends on what the cpu is doing

i used to do the same crazy optimisations to my math parser and its nuts

[pseudo hazel]

yes, testing these kinds of things will 9/10 times be useless or lead to incorrect results

[hazy parrot]

doesn't jit automatically convert diversion into shifting ?

[pseudo hazel]

probably, thats what I was saying

[hazy parrot]

smh, was scrolled up again

[pseudo hazel]

i would be surprised if it didnt

[glossy venture]

sucks java doesnt have forced inline

[tardy delta]

@ForceInline buts thats jvm internals

unfortunatly

[glossy venture]

yeah

also got 10.2 mil passes/sec

damnn

array access really slow

[tardy delta]

you storing objects in an array?

[glossy venture]

the board

as an array of bytes

[echo basalt]

why not a couple longs?

[glossy venture]

probably slower

[echo basalt]

look at you brute-forcing stuff

[glossy venture]

first get the applicable long, then do 500 bitshifts

[glossy venture]

??

thats how chess computers work

[pseudo hazel]

if you want to be super optimized, java is probably not the language you would choose anyways

[echo basalt]

well

[glossy venture]

nah true id rather use C++ but i made an attempt and got a couple segfaults so im never doing that again

[echo basalt]

there's still the concept of weighting

[glossy venture]

yeah thats for the evaluation

[ivory sleet]

rust :D

[glossy venture]

you search till a certain depth

and then you evaluate the position

with weights

[tardy delta]

dont think much people will appreciate that

[ivory sleet]

yea sadly

[glossy venture]

but if you dont brute force a couple positions you cant find tactics

[tardy delta]

the moment i say the word rust people already start attacking me

[pseudo hazel]

why, rust is fine

[echo basalt]

sure but there are still a huge amount of moves that are just plain bad

[ivory sleet]

o

why is my 🥲 yellow

[glossy venture]

yeah true but for that theres shit like move ordering and alpha beta pruning

[tardy delta]

discord their fancy reactions ig

[ivory sleet]

ohhh

wtf

[pseudo hazel]

lmao you used a super reaction

[glossy venture]

which try to exclude those moves as efficiently as possible

[pseudo hazel]

rip

[tardy delta]

just write raw x86 :)

[ivory sleet]

discord adds weird shit, when was this added?

[tardy delta]

month ago?

maybe

[ivory sleet]

oh im just becoming a boomer then :<, thought it was a recent patch

[pseudo hazel]

longer than a month

but you only get like a few super reactions per week or some shit

[tardy delta]

whatever i dont have access to it anyways 💀

goddamn discord

[pseudo hazel]

why not?

[tardy delta]

nitro?

[pseudo hazel]

I thought you just get some every week

[ivory sleet]

ah I ran out of them now

[pseudo hazel]

oh I see

[tardy delta]

just wasted all of them 💀

[pseudo hazel]

lmao time to delete my message

atleast those bastards made stickers public

[quiet ice]

It's not as simple in JIT land. Proper benchmarking in java means using JMH or comparable as they do warmups before running the benchmark for real. Also provide Blackholes to prevent JIT from basically replacing your huge block of code with a single NOP

[glossy venture]

yeah true

but i didnt understand how to set up jmh

and this seems to work kind of fine

dont think a NOP would take 89 ns to execute

[coarse galleon]

I am building spigot using build tools. how can I embed external library into the spigot jar itself?

[quiet ice]

The JIT only starts kicking in after some time

[chrome beacon]

Are you trying to fork spigot?

[quiet ice]

Furthermore some JIT optimisations don't take effect if the application stays in the method

[coarse galleon]

I think yes?

[quiet ice]

What exactly do you hope to accomplish by adding the library?

Chances are there are better ways to do what you want

However if you are absolutely sure that adding a lib is the correct way it probably is as simple as changing the pom.xml of the cb maven project

[coarse galleon]

what's the process of doing that? I just finished running the build tool with default settings

I also have some patch files I would like to apply

[chrome beacon]

[coarse galleon]

so I edit this?

[quiet ice]

Yep

[coarse galleon]

Thanks

How do I add a library at a specific path like: org.bukkit.craftbukkit.libs.com.google.common.base.Optional?

[quiet ice]

By configuring relocations in the Shading plugin

[coarse galleon]

Done. is there anything else that I need to do? like, adding the library itself? Also, do I just run mvn clean install in BuildTools/Spigot to build it?

[quiet ice]

You'd need to look at the documentation, but I'd guess mvn clean install should do the trick

[coarse galleon]

tbh I am completely new to mvn and I am just trying to get a pre-compiled plugin to work. I checked the output which is Installing D:\BuildTools\Spigot\Spigot-Server\target\spigot-1.8.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar to C:\Users\Administrator\.m2\repository\org\spigotmc\spigot\1.8.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT\spigot-1.8.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar but it doesn't contain the thing.

[quiet ice]

I am just trying to get a pre-compiled plugin to work
I sense that you accidentally picked the hard way

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

[coarse galleon]

what would be the easier way?

[chrome beacon]

You should have told us that earlier

Modify the plugin

[coarse galleon]

I can't

it's pre-compiled

[chrome beacon]

You can still modify it

[coarse galleon]

how

[chrome beacon]

Is the plugin even designed to run on 1.8.8

[coarse galleon]

yes

[quiet ice]

Did you even include google-commons as a dependency?

[chrome beacon]

If it's just missing a dependency you can make your own plugin providing it

[quiet ice]

Better question would be whether the the plugin is even designed to run on 1.8.8 SPIGOT

[chrome beacon]

No need to modify anything

[coarse galleon]

yes, it is designed to run on spigot

[quiet ice]

Then that plugin has a serious bug

I guess alternatively one could write a small .tiny file to remap everything from using org.bukkit.craftbukkit.libs.com.google to using com.google instead

[chrome beacon]

.

[quaint tapir]

I want to make a skeleton walk in a straight line
I've done setAI(false) but I don't know how to make it manually walk in a set direction for a set amount of time
any help would be great

[coarse galleon]

you may want a custom path finder to make it walk to a specific point?

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/custom-entities-and-pathfindergoals-simplified-1-16-x.469053/

I'm making a plugin with a series of GUI's. there are a number of listener classes with e.setcancelled(true) in them to stop items being moved around. but now only the first couple of classes I'm registering are actually working the rest I am able to move items around in. is there a way around this, thanks

[eternal oxide]

?nocode

[undone axle]

It’s hard to answer a programming question without code
Oh no! You ran into a problem. But no worries, people are willing to help, but first they need to see your code. This is because otherwise, they would be providing help based on guesses instead of concrete knowledge. Whether it be a compile error, runtime error, or an unexpected output, I'm sure that if you were to provide code, you'd receive a quick solution.

[eternal oxide]

?paste

[undone axle]

[eternal oxide]

First mistake, do not compare inventories by name

[grave kayak]

https://paste.md-5.net/hozesuhili.java here's the code. I'm rather new to this so any feedback you have is appreciated

[tardy delta]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-modern-approach-to-inventory-guis.594005/

[eternal oxide]

compare inventories by instance

if (clickedInventory == yourInventory)

also do not close an inventory you are currently in the event for. use the scheduler to close it one tick later

?scheduling

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/scheduler-programming/

[eternal oxide]

same with open

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/inventory/InventoryClickEvent.html

[grim oak]

Tyy

[grave kayak]

thank you for all the tips, ill incorporate all this stuff your mentioning. any ideas on why im able to move things around in the inventory ?

[eternal oxide]

probably because you are not correctly matching the inventory

It won;t cancel if you try to match by name and fail

[grim oak]

Yeah quest levels and whether they hvae the quest activated

[grim oak]

No

[small current]

What is the event for frost walker

[quiet ice]

BlockFormEvent?

[small current]

I will test it

Because in spigot it said blockcanbuild

[worldly ingot]

It would be a form event, yeah

[small current]

And i cant get the player in blockformevent

[grim oak]

Hi can anyone help with how I should structure my database.
I have users that can do quests, and each of the quests have several requirements and I've represented the requirements as an integer which is just their 'completion' towards the requirement. So how would I store the quest for each user, whether they have the quest activated and their completion towards the requirements of the quests.

Im using SQL btw

[worldly ingot]

Just a simple table there should work fine, no?

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS player_quests (
    id          INT UNSIGNED    NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    uuid        CHAR(36)        NOT NULL,
    quest_id    VARCHAR(64)     NOT NULL,
    progress    SMALLINT        NOT NULL,
    UNIQUE INDEX player_quest(uuid, quest_id),
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

[tardy delta]

im thinking that most people that use sql dont need it because of the relational part they dont need

[young knoll]

Boo storing uuid as a char

[worldly ingot]

Depending on how complex your questing system, you can absolutely make it relational

[grim oak]

Nah because each quest has multiple 'progesses', if you see the message i sent

[tardy delta]

create a dif table for the progress

then link it to the quest

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, separate table with a foreign key to the player_quests table

[tardy delta]

probably also a requirements table or smth but idk what you would put in there

what does UNIQUE INDEX even do, that some kind of weird sql dialect?

[worldly ingot]

It ensures that the combination of those two columns are unique

e.g. you can have (uuid1, "first") and (uuid1, "second"), but not two (uuid1, "first")s

[tardy delta]

what the index for, arent indices created automatically on unique columns? 👀

[worldly ingot]

Yeah but you don't want uuid and quest_id to be unique independently

Else a player wouldn't be able to have more than one quest active

[young knoll]

I thought you could just do UNIQUE

[worldly ingot]

Possible design could look something like this:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS player_quests (
    id          INT UNSIGNED    NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    uuid        CHAR(36)        NOT NULL,
    quest_id    VARCHAR(64)     NOT NULL,
    UNIQUE INDEX player_quest(uuid, quest_id),
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS quest_progress (
    quest_id    INT UNSIGNED         NOT NULL,
    progress    SMALLINT UNSIGNED    NOT NULL,
    -- Optionally include a category for the type of progress to be made?
    FOREIGN KEY (quest_id) REFERENCES player_quests(id)
);```

Maybe an "active" BIT column as well (or BOOLEAN, which is an alias)

[quiet ice]

Let's just ignore that primary keys cannot be null anyways

[worldly ingot]

Habbit

I like the explicitness of it

For what?

[quiet ice]

No. It is 90% the wrong way

If needed use different event listener instances for different events

But don't use a constructor to store all your logic

[worldly ingot]

public final class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new MyListener(), this);
    }

}

public final class MyListener implements Listener {

    @EventHandler
    private void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) { }

}```

[quiet ice]

I mean it probably works, but you don't want to do that

[grim oak]

Hm so the progresses could be a little confusing?

[tardy delta]

whats confusing about it?

[grim oak]

Well a quest could have multiple different progresses

Varies depending on the quest

[tardy delta]

different progresses per quest for one player?

[grim oak]

So they might have to kill 10 players and break 20 blocks for example

For a single quest

[quiet ice]

then you'd need to have another table for that

[tardy delta]

im thinking that you could just create another quest progress record but im not really thinking straight now

[quiet ice]

Or just add a progress_type column or something

[grim oak]

Like a table for if the quest for 1 requirement, a table for if it has 2 requirements etc.

?

[worldly ingot]

The most recent schema I sent has two tables

You would be able to create two entries in the progress table that refer to one quest table entry

[quaint mantle]

how can i cancel cactus growth ?

    @EventHandler
    public void cropGrowth(BlockGrowEvent e) {
        if (e.getNewState().getType() == Material.CACTUS) {
            e.getNewState().setType(Material.AIR);
            e.setCancelled(true);

        }
    }``` this not working

[grim oak]

Ohhh i see what you mean, I misunderstood before, thanks

[quiet ice]

Nah a table which stores questid, playerid and progressTypeid

[grim oak]

I see what choco sent, that should work

[quiet ice]

But uh, you can just add that to the quest_progress table

[quaint mantle]

maybe you can just change the cactus modifier to 0

growth:
      cactus-modifier: 100
      cane-modifier: 100
      melon-modifier: 100
      mushroom-modifier: 100
      pumpkin-modifier: 100
      sapling-modifier: 100
      wheat-modifier: 100
      netherwart-modifier: 100

[quiet ice]

Basically your constructor invocation

[quaint mantle]

ah no i need cactus growth but i just wanna try something

[young knoll]

Probably the wrong event

Ah no it is that event

I thought it was different for cactus and sugarcane my bad

[quaint mantle]

            e.setCancelled(true);

        }```

i try this too

and i try cancel the age growth btw

[eternal oxide]

do nto call getBlock on getNewState

you are just getting the current block

[quaint mantle]

i did this too

[eternal oxide]

why set the newState to AIR and then cancel? you are undoing what you just did

[quaint mantle]

i did only with e.cancelevent

[young knoll]

There’s no reason to set the new state

Just cancel

[eternal oxide]

a BlockState is a snapshot of what the block was or is to be.

[quaint mantle]

actuyally i cancel the all block growth event

still growing

😄

[eternal oxide]

if you make changes to teh BlockState then cancel the BlockState will never be used

[young knoll]

Did you register your event

Add debug prints

[quaint mantle]

im leaving at this discord

i forgot the register events

OMG

CYA

wtf

im stupid 😢

[rain patio]

me too its ok

[grim oak]

So if the quests have a type, should i do:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS player_quest_types (
    id          INT UNSIGNED    NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    uuid        CHAR(36)        NOT NULL,
    quest_type_id  VARCHAR(64)     NOT NULL,
    UNIQUE INDEX player_quest(uuid, quest_type_id),
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS quests (
    quest_type_id  VARCHAR(64)     NOT NULL,
    quest_id    VARCHAR(64)     NOT NULL,
    active      BIT             NOT NULL
    PRIMARY KEY (quest_id)
    FOREIGN KEY (quest_type_id) REFERENCES player_quest_types(id)
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS quest_progress (
    quest_id    INT UNSIGNED         NOT NULL,
    progress    SMALLINT UNSIGNED    NOT NULL,
    FOREIGN KEY (quest_id) REFERENCES quests(id)
);

or

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS player_quests (
    id          INT UNSIGNED    NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    uuid        CHAR(36)        NOT NULL,
    quest_id    VARCHAR(64)     NOT NULL,
    quest_type  VARCHAR(64)     NOT NULL,
    UNIQUE INDEX player_quest(uuid, quest_id),
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS quest_progress (
    quest_id    INT UNSIGNED         NOT NULL,
    progress    SMALLINT UNSIGNED    NOT NULL,
    FOREIGN KEY (quest_id) REFERENCES player_quests(id)
);

Or something else?

[worldly ingot]

Well what does a quest type do?

Also, probably do want a progress_type column in the quest_progress table to distinguish which progress is for which

[grim oak]

Well some quests will be 'levellable' but some youll just be able to do once, for example

[grim oak]

Okay

[worldly ingot]

Do you need that stored persistently though?

That should just be something available in the Quest object in code, no?

[grim oak]

Yeah, but how would I store what level the quest is on

[rain patio]

Hello, I am trying to write some data from hashmaps and hashsets to a json file, and the methods I have write fine, but the load method somehow wipes the file and gives me a whole malformed json error and disables my plugin, so can anyone point me towards a good resource to figure it out, or help me code the method? I'll provide a ss of my code

[worldly ingot]

Given that not all quests are levelable, perhaps an additional table

[grim oak]

Okay

[worldly ingot]

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS quest_level (
    quest_id    INT UNSIGNED         NOT NULL,
    level       SMALLINT UNSIGNED    NOT NULL,
    FOREIGN KEY (quest_id) REFERENCES player_quests(id)
);

Should be easy enough to do this

[grim oak]

Ty

[remote swallow]

Small int

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, equivalent of a Java short. -32k to 32k

Unsigned gives you ~65k

[remote swallow]

Sus

[worldly ingot]

I can't possibly imagine a level being higher than that

[young knoll]

Not with that attitude!

[worldly ingot]

If, however, it can go higher than 65k, you can use a regular unsigned int to give a little over 4 billion

[remote swallow]

My in game level is the int limot

[grim oak]

Okay thats all for now tysm choco

[worldly ingot]

If you want to pull all of this data in a single query (which you can do!), you'll want to look into JOINs

[young knoll]

I never use smaller data types in my code

Maube I should

[grim oak]

Okay ill keep that in mind ty

[worldly ingot]

In SQL is especially important because you're storing potentially millions of entries and for each entry, you're including 2x the amount of bytes for each entry

At least for a SMALLINT vs an INT

It's the difference between 2 million bytes and 4 million bytes for the exact same data

[young knoll]

Yeah

I guess it matters less in code

[worldly ingot]

(granted that's 2MB vs 4MB, but still important lol)

In a garbage collecting language like Java it's less important, yeah. Still nice to restrict the scope of your integer values where obviously necessary, but yeah...

[remote swallow]

Im now only ever gonna use bigint

[rain patio]

I just changed the first method I showed to the one that worked I forgot that I had messed with it earlier

[worldly ingot]

8 bytes for even the smallest of values 😎

[tardy delta]

oh man dont create five new gson objects

their constructor is hell

[worldly ingot]

That's why people create static instances of them that they re-reference

[young knoll]

I'm currently tracking an index with an int even though a byte is probably plenty

Now my plugin is gonna OOM servers

[tardy delta]

also that code is full of deprecated stuff

[rain patio]

I'm really new to the minecraft side of java I've never used gson or anything

[young knoll]

The problem with smaller types in java is that you have to be explicit with them

[rain patio]

how do you type the code on here like that? like what word do you put with the ` ``

[echo basalt]

watch me delete 12k duplicates of the same image because some ps3 game developer back in '08 decided it was good idea to put a default image with every save

[echo basalt]

```sql
SELECT WHATEVER
```

?code

!code

idfk

[undone axle]

You can use the discord code block format to display code or just text in a more pleasing way:
```java
public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
@Override
public void onEnable() {

}

}```
Becomes:

public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {

    }
}```

[echo basalt]

that

[rain patio]

thank you

[young knoll]

SELECT * FROM yourmom

Okay yeah SQL is the right name

[rain patio]

public void saveData(Map<UUID, ChatColor> primaryRoleplayColors, Map<UUID, ChatColor> secondaryRoleplayColors, Set<UUID> localChatPlayers, Set<UUID> staffChat) throws IOException {
        Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create();
        File file = new File(RPChat.getPlugin(this).getDataFolder().getAbsolutePath() + "/data.json");
        FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file, false);
        gson.toJson(primaryRoleplayColors, writer);
        gson.toJson(secondaryRoleplayColors, writer);
        gson.toJson(localChatPlayers, writer);
        gson.toJson(staffChat, writer);
        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
    }

This is what I have that I feel like is better than making json objects and does work to save to a json file, but my problem is whenever I try to use a load method of any sort, it clears the json file and then gives me a malformed json error

[echo basalt]

I'd recommend to just use a data class and let gson do its thing

instead of passing all these params

What's stopping you from doing a

public class PlayerData {

  private final UUID playerId;
  
  private ChatColor primaryColor;
  private ChatColor secondaryColor;

  private boolean staffChat;
  private boolean localChat;
}

couple setters

constructor n all

[rain patio]

I've got them set and declared up top, but they're all private

[echo basalt]

yeah but like

why so many maps

[rain patio]

Lowkey was just like following youtube tutorials and going off of what worked, this is my first like functioning plugin cause it works fine before the saving of the data

[young knoll]

Can't Gson just like

Handle POJO's automagically

[echo basalt]

yeah

it can

[rain patio]

It saves just fine, I don't know how to get it to the read the file

[tall furnace]

I'm setting up a scoreboard display under each player's name. Only issue is the score integer value is displayed as white, and always displayed first. As I understand it, it will always be displayed before the objective name, but can I at least change the color of the score?

[rain patio]

all I am asking is for someone to help me with that part

[echo basalt]

I should probably write a search index entry for uhh

data objects

lma

[young knoll]

An ImIllusion smearch smindex

[echo basalt]

yeah

but it's so basic that like

I don't think it's worth it being up there

[young knoll]

Get alex to make a blog on it

[tall furnace]

Image for reference https://pasteboard.co/ENI6rIDWo5ZV.png

[young knoll]

Afaik you can't change the score color

Without core shader magic

[lavish robin]

Okay, so the issue wasn't that nms wasn't available, it was, the issue was the classes were renamed and in different locations. Thanks for the help.

im making a plugin for my server, its basically so; a player does /call and the ppl who have "operator" permission gets "player" is calling, its like a telephone switchboard, u cant use /msg directly but through /call u can, but the operator will need to connect u

can u guys check the code? thx
