[eternal oxide]

BEFORE trying to access the file

[spare hazel]

wdym?

[tender shard]

I thought you read the javadocs of ConfigurationSeriazable

[quiet ice]

The ClassPath thing seems like it is doing exactly that

[spare hazel]

all the clases that i eant them to be saved are serializable

[quaint mantle]

yea

[spare hazel]

both having a serialize method and a deserialize method

[young dome]

Yess, it's the same way but it's a little less resource-intensive

[eternal oxide]

Serializable or ConfigurationSerializable?

[spare hazel]

second one

not gonna type that

[quiet ice]

Let's be real: You'd not do it at runtime if this is a concern

[young dome]

bump

[eternal oxide]

then read the javadoc, you have to register them

[quaint mantle]

okay but then how do i add it to my List<MyClass>

[quiet ice]

it returns a boolean

[tender shard]

read the javadocs again. https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/configuration/serialization/ConfigurationSerializable.html

[quaint mantle]

cus i got this:

List<ClassPath.ClassInfo> classInfoList = ClassUtils.classesFromPackage("org.joe.testplugin.Abilities");
        for (ClassPath.ClassInfo classInfo : classInfoList) {
            if(classInfo.load().isAssignableFrom(Ability.class)) {
                abilities.add(classInfo.getClass());
            }

but that aint working

not how it works

[spare hazel]

oh

[spare hazel]

in onEnable?

[quiet ice]

You still need to invoke the ctor if you want to get a concrete instance - so do exactly what you have before

Also, do you know what a PACKAGE is in java?

[remote swallow]

yes

[spare hazel]

okay leme try that

[quaint mantle]

this?

[spare hazel]

i hope it works

[quaint mantle]

yea i hope so

[spare hazel]

i spend 8+ hours infront of my laptop dying to fix this

[quiet ice]

A package should be all lower case, so it is alarming that your "package" is formatted like a class

[quaint mantle]

yea i get that but the problem is, i had some compile errors when i had lowercase shit

[quiet ice]

Yep, so

          for (ClassPath.ClassInfo classInfo : classInfoList) {
            if(classInfo.load().isAssignableFrom(Ability.class)) {
                abilities.add((Ability) classInfo.load().getConstructors()[0].newInstance());
            }

[quaint mantle]

yea so that doesnt work

[quiet ice]

🤨 well as long as it works...

[quiet ice]

With what error message?

[quaint mantle]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[quaint mantle]

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

[spare hazel]

ConfigurationSerialization.registerClass(HypixelPlayer); Expression expected

[quiet ice]

Oooof, I mixed up the order of the isAssignableFrom call

it should be Ability.class.isAssignableFrom(classInfo.load())

[spare hazel]

how am i gonna fix that
already tried everything

[quaint mantle]

that doesnt change anything tho does it?

[tender shard]

by passing a class instance

HypixelPlayer.class

[quaint mantle]

cus there error is in that it has arguments for the constructor

[quiet ice]

Also - are you sure that every subclass of Ability in that package ONLY has a no-args constructor?

[quaint mantle]

oh they do not

they have args

thats the problem i know

[quiet ice]

Otherwise you'd need to get rid of the other constructors, only obtain the no-args ctor or use the sun Unsafe (i.e. maximum carnage)

[spare hazel]

when that idiot who uses skript to make his "plugins" told me java is a shitty language, i should have listened to him

[young knoll]

What

[eternal oxide]

HypixelPlayer.class

I was late

[quaint mantle]

but i use the args constructors tho

[remote swallow]

not really

[quiet ice]

Then you need to define no-args constructors and only get the no-args constructor instead of a random one

[quaint mantle]

how do i get only the no args constructors

[quiet ice]

So MyClass.class.getConstructor().newInstance();

Or in your case classInfo.load().getConstructor().newInstance()

[quaint mantle]

:O

wich database do you recommend for this

[remote swallow]

what is this

[quaint mantle]

bro said this

[quiet ice]

that is also doable

[young knoll]

You can use getDeclaredConstructor with arguments to get your constructor

[quiet ice]

Either getConstructor().newInstance() or getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance(). Either will do the job

[young knoll]

It takes the class of each arg

[quaint mantle]

for plugins,

i usually use mongodb

[quiet ice]

I don't know what the difference is anyways

[remote swallow]

it depends on the data stored

[quaint mantle]

List<ClassPath.ClassInfo> classInfoList = ClassUtils.classesFromPackage("org.joe.testplugin.Abilities");
        for (ClassPath.ClassInfo classInfo : classInfoList) {
            if(Ability.class.isAssignableFrom(classInfo.load())) {
                abilities.add((Ability) classInfo.load().newInstance());

                if(Listener.class.isAssignableFrom(classInfo.load())) {
                    Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents((Listener) classInfo.load().getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance(), TestPlugin.plugin);
                }
            }
        }

?

[zenith gate]

so i would have to make a new instance of that class inorder for it to be seperate ?

[noble lantern]

mongo is more than likely a p good thing for MC servers as it makes it easy to use pojo classes to get/set data

[quiet ice]

alarming usage, but I guess that should be finee

[spare hazel]

Wtf is clazz? Isnt it class?

[remote swallow]

class is a reserved keyword

[quiet ice]

not only reserved, it is a keyword

[noble lantern]

heaven forbid you need 2 clazz's ins the same scope

[quiet ice]

A reserved keyword would be goto and _

[young knoll]

clasz

[noble lantern]

how do yall do it? i normally just add an extra z

ooo clasz is a good one

[young knoll]

clazzzzzzzzzzzz

[remote swallow]

do you like it

[quaint mantle]

last time I tried mongo on my plugin did got the clases

[quiet ice]

var_10001

[quaint mantle]

whats alarming about it

[quiet ice]

You basically alluded that you register these event listeners twice or more

Else they wouldn't have an args constructor

[young knoll]

You don’t have listeners that take your plugin as an arg?

[quiet ice]

Dynamic registration and args constructors are always iffy anyways

[spare hazel]

i fixed an error, came back with 20 more...

[quaint mantle]

cool error, 👍
https://paste.md-5.net/uxuwotoxus.bash

[quiet ice]

Well that is great, you just squashed a fatal syntax error. Now to solve the non-fatal syntax errors

[quaint mantle]

so like uhhh

how do i fixx it

[quiet ice]

CNFEs usually hint at packaging errors

[spare hazel]

in which file is the PDC data stored????????

[chrome beacon]

player data

[quiet ice]

Try to nuke all caches

[eternal oxide]

depends

[quaint mantle]

yea i renamed all my packages to lowercase

[quaint mantle]

i do that were

[quiet ice]

Uh, are you explicitly calling loadClass?

[quaint mantle]

dont think so

[quiet ice]

Under maven, remove the target directory, for IJ idk

Eclipse has no notable caches so you are clean in that regard

[terse bough]

Quick question how can I in the 1.20 this code:
Dispenser dispenser = (Dispenser) block.getState;
with an anvil, because "Anvil anvil" does not exist

[young knoll]

Anvil doesn’t have a state

It doesn’t store any special data

[spare hazel]

is someone able to translate this into human language?

[quaint mantle]

and then?

[terse bough]

how else do i get from a block to an anvil, would like to open that

[remote swallow]

are you trying to browse a .dat file

[quiet ice]

rebuild the application

[remote swallow]

if thats a .dat file use nbtexplorer

[quaint mantle]

oh but i have a outputDirectory in my maven plugins so it doesnt build there

[quiet ice]

decompress it (Ark supports unzipping that, other things may be able to decompress it too) and open it up as a standard file

Though it wont be too readable even if you do that

[quaint mantle]

same error

actually

[tender shard]

java isn't shitty just because you don't know the basics

[quaint mantle]

dif error

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

[remote swallow]

isnt nbtexplorer just easier

[quiet ice]

If you need to do that more often, yes.

[pseudo hazel]

is there any point in making a getter for a final variable?

like a public final

[quiet ice]

But decompressing it with my archive manager of choice and opening that with my editor of my choice is a thing of seconds.
You generally only want to verify whether something exists or not so eh

A getter for a public final is only really appropriate if you need to use it for Steams and like the short lambda things

The other usecase is if you want to make the field private later on

[pseudo hazel]

well I mean

if I have a final variable

isnt it just easier to make it public

since it cant be changed anyways

[quiet ice]

that is a coding style question

[pseudo hazel]

okay

[quaint mantle]

@quiet ice

[pseudo hazel]

right

just making sure there is no functional difference

[quiet ice]

I wouldn't do it if you get graded on it, but privately - sure.

[pseudo hazel]

lol

ironic

well I am past the days of getting graded for my java code

but yeah im just using a ton of pubic final for my config class

[quiet ice]

Me neither. But I am giving tips to my peers where they sometimes get grounded for it

[pseudo hazel]

because I didnt want to bother making the getters

[quiet ice]

Look, I have no clue what the hell you are doing wrong

[quaint mantle]

i dont know either

[spare hazel]

fixed 20 error. now theres one left

https://mclo.gs/4T3fWGT

[pseudo hazel]

noclassdeffound usually means it wasnt build correctly

[quiet ice]

Could you give us your built jar?

[spare hazel]

can anyone read this error and help me fix it?

[pseudo hazel]

unless you are using class metadata witchcraft ig

[quaint mantle]

yea 1s

[pseudo hazel]

whats in PlayerJoin line 17?

@spare hazel

[quiet ice]

In this case I am almost fairly sure it's that IJ case change cache bug

[spare hazel]

why should you explain to the compiler that a class is a class

[eternal oxide]

you didn;t register your classes before accessing the data, OR you didn;t write to the pdc correctly

[spare hazel]

leme check

[quiet ice]

But I do not know how one can nuke the IJ caches

[spare hazel]

oh got it thanks

[eternal oxide]

you only need register the class once

[spare hazel]

i forgot to call my methond in onEnable

[quaint mantle]

another time: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/mongodb/MongoException someone knows how to fix it?

[tender shard]

"String" or "Field" or "YourClassName" are not classes but just symbols

[young knoll]

Did you shade mongo

[tender shard]

String.class is a class

nope

[quaint mantle]

even know what is shade

just used maven drivers

[eternal oxide]

did you add it to the libraries section of your plugin.yml as you were told?

[quaint mantle]

@quiet ice

[quaint mantle]

did got it

[quiet ice]

Yeah, delete every instance of that jar, all caches you can find and restart your IDE

[eternal oxide]

?paste code where you are trying to use mongo

[undone axle]

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

[tender shard]

private class MyClass { }

// ...

String MyClass = null;
ConfigurationSerialization.registerClass(MyClass); // Error - MyClass is NOT a class, but a String! That's why you need to use .class to refer to actual classes
ConfigurationSerialization.registerClass(MyClass.class); // Correct

[quaint mantle]

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

[tender shard]

i can't promise, I'll do it when I feel like it 😛 currently I'm playing MC

[quaint mantle]

alr seems to work

[eternal oxide]

driver may not be loaded, add a Class.forName("mongodriverhere")

[quaint mantle]

where

[eternal oxide]

before you try to access any mongo

[spare hazel]

so a HypixelPlayer is a HypixelPlayer?

[quaint mantle]

should i swap to eclipse? my github student is running out soon and i am no longer a student

this is the pom.xml

AHHH LIGHTMODE

[tender shard]

in the meantime, why don't you try to write the first part, that takes in 2 colors, and one number (length) that returns an array of "length" colors where the first one is color1, the last one is color2, and everything inbetween are the inbetween colors? because that's like 50% of the work that needs to be done

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

[quaint mantle]

@quiet ice opinions?

[quaint mantle]

sorry

[tender shard]

are you using the maven-shade-plugin?

[quaint mantle]

wtf is that, i used the docs gave me

[quaint mantle]

https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/java/sync/current/quick-start/

[tender shard]

you gotta shade mongo -> https://blog.jeff-media.com/common-maven-questions/#how-to-shade-dependencies

[spare hazel]

im too tired but i have to test my plugin one mre time before watching spigot plugin making series by kody simpson

[quiet ice]

Generally eclipse isn't something I would recommend unless you already know how to use it at which point it is extremely great

[eternal oxide]

oh you called static MongoClients. Surely you should be using new MongoClient("localhost") or whatever connection

[eternal oxide]

he;s using plugin.yml libraries so no need to shade

[quaint mantle]

in the docs never used new

[quaint mantle]

so u shouldnt start using if u dont know how to use it but to know how u use it u need to start using it at some point right?

[tender shard]

okay colors are just vectors with 3 components (r,g,b). let's imagine we only have one component.

color1 = 50
color2 = 150

difference is 100.

if the length is 5, then the difference per char is (150-50) / 4 = 25 (for length 5, we divide through 4, because we already got the first color as starting point)

so first char has color 50, second char has color 75, then 100, 125, 150.

you do that for each component (r,g,b)

[quaint mantle]

cant do that

[tender shard]

that looks correct except that the length should be length - 1

[quiet ice]

What I am saying is that IJ is more powerful, unless you already engrained in the workflow eclipse allows you to do - at which point IJ is utter garbage

[tender shard]

in each red, green, blue calculation

for(int i = 0; i < length is correct

[quaint mantle]

fair

[tender shard]

but where it does the math, it should be red = start.getRed() + (redDiff / (length-1)) * i

[quaint mantle]

ill just use intellij community :/

[tender shard]

I might be wrong though lol. you gotta try it out.

[quaint mantle]

try <=

[tender shard]

hmm maybe try it without length - 1

maybe I was wrong

oh wait

[eternal oxide]

doing it your way you shoudl be using a ConnectionString not a String

[tender shard]

in the for loop, check for length -1
and then the last color you just set to the end color

[wet breach]

how is the last one off?

[tender shard]

yeah, and then see if it even compiles

[wet breach]

r is 3 and b is 252 for a total of 255 🙂

seems you counted incorrectly then

[young knoll]

And then you realize half the methods you use need a newer api version

Lel

[wet breach]

are you trying to shift from red to blue in increments?

[young knoll]

Revision is basically always 0.1

[wet breach]

or you trying to make all possible red-blue combinations?

if you want to optimize this

you only need half the numbers

because the other half is just the inverse

[spare hazel]

came back with another error
again...
so tired
ill just create a thread.
its 12:22 AM and i started work 1PM. 11 hours of pure coding
any help appreciated
will look at it the nex day

[wet breach]

0-255 there is a middle point, the first half of the number can get you the second half of the numbers

[tender shard]

it's always <version>-R0.1-SNAPSHOT

[wet breach]

so that means somewhere there is a middle

[tender shard]

so 1.17 is 1.17-R0.1-SNAPSHOT

[wet breach]

to give an example of only needing half the numbers

lets take the numbers 0-100

1+99 = 100, 2+98=100

[quiet ice]

You going color interpolation?

[wet breach]

you would only need get to 50 to have used up all the numbers 🙂

[spare hazel]

Error(the PlayerQuitEvent Included)

[quaint mantle]

let me try

you didn;t change to using a ConnectionString

[quaint mantle]

yes I did

[eternal oxide]

oh you did inside

[tender shard]

did you read the blog post I sent?

[quaint mantle]

I was having dinner sorry, where is it

[eternal oxide]

?paste your plugin.yml

[undone axle]

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

[tender shard]

yeah that's good. now use only half the length, then fill the rest of the array in reverse going back to the original color

e,g. 0 5 10 15 20 15 10 5 0

Ironically I have a 32/16 bit color compressor 😛

[eternal oxide]

you did not add the libraries section you were told to

[tender shard]

and if you got that, you can just offset it by one every tick to get the animation

[quaint mantle]

at the mongo docs is never done, and why here

[wet breach]

in case you ever want to look at it, this compresses colors into 8 bit colors

https://github.com/frostalf-games/ConsoleColors

[eternal oxide]

you were told yesterday to add a libraries entry to your plugin.yml

[remote swallow]

because this is spigot

mongo wouldnt add docs just for spigot

[quaint mantle]

but I have done with the pm.xml why there, i don't understand

[quiet ice]

You likely need both

[remote swallow]

unless you want to shade the driver, use plugin.yml libraries

it means you dont have to shade it and loads it from the server

[quaint mantle]

okey

[quiet ice]

pom.xml to give the dependency to the IDE and library thing in plugin.yml for spigot

[quaint mantle]

thank you

[marble forum]

Hello, is it possible to set the light level of a block type using a plugin? ie. the torchflower

Thanks

[tender shard]

now you'd need a method that "shifts" the array, e.g.
1 2 3 2 1 -> 2 3 2 1 2 -> 3 2 1 2 3 -> 2 1 2 3 2 -> 1 2 3 2 1

first and last element should always be the same, otherwise it'll look weird I guess

and yeah then you're basically done with the logic, then all you gotta do is translate those colors back into &x&r&r&g&g&b&b stuff, apply them to every character, and run it through ChatColor.transate...

nooo, then you'd have a hard "border" in the gradient

you shoud never have 1 2 3 4 5, but rather 1 3 5 3 1

unless you want to have that hard color change

[quaint mantle]

Something is missing here i think https://paste.md-5.net/nixunepela.cs

[high pewter]

I'm making a plugin which randomises block drops, but I want containers to still drop their original contents. However, I'm finding that if I do InventoryHolder.getContents() on an InventoryHolder from BlockDropItemEvent.getBlockState() then the slots with items show as a stack of 0 air and the empty slots show as a stack of 1 air (so I can see which slots had items, but not what those items are). How can I get the contents from a BlockDropItemEvent?

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack.getType()" because "item" is null

This is on a PlayerInteractEvent, The event works and everything, but it gives an error when a player is holding nothing. I've asserted that the held item cant be null and if its Air it should return. My thought process means, there should be no errors. at least no Null errors. I'm still getting it.

[zenith gate]

Okay, Thanks!

[river oracle]

I gave you a good solution you just ignored the formatting advice I gave

don't bother doing it raw

use ChatColor#of with hexes

and use pattern matching to replace them

[high pewter]

Assert is for debugging. The whole point is that it opens your debugger if the expected statement isn't true (well, depends on IDE and Java implementation, I think there's also a Java flag that causes it to throw an exception if it isn't true). It doesn't actually do anything if you're not debugging

[chrome beacon]

One color per letter

for loop

anyways I sent you fully working gradient code earlier

No

Mods only

Well that doesn't matter

Who cares if it's a component or no

t

The gradient code calculation is the same

[zenith gate]

Ohh. I did not know that. I've been told, and by people here too, that I could just assert. I thgought it made it so it couldn't be null and it would just return. Thank you for the clarification, and now I have to go fix a few things.

[kind hatch]

Looks like you're passing in hash function. lol

Are you using ChatColor#of() for the hex codes?

[young knoll]

The format for hex colors is &x&r&r&g&g&b&b

[river oracle]

as I said earlier no clue why you are avoiding the easy way but ^

[young knoll]

Much easier to just use ChatColor.of with a Color

[river oracle]

not to mention pattern matching hexes is way easier than pattern matching that hell

:)

[young knoll]

Yeah sadly colour characters kind of kill your length

[hasty prawn]

Especially hex

[young knoll]

Wait for that choco PR to get merged

:p

[river oracle]

the component one?

[orchid gazelle]

What does it do

Tell us

[river oracle]

I wish MD_5 would atleast look at the Component PR its done

[orchid gazelle]

Thats's how life is

[river oracle]

legacy chat moment

[young knoll]

I don’t know if components solve this issue but I think they do

I also don’t know if scoreboards support them but again I think they do

[hasty prawn]

Wouldn't team prefix/suffixes be the current workaround?

I think all 3 get 128 characters

[young knoll]

Not for the title of the scoreboard

[hasty prawn]

I did not read the context Im ngl

[young knoll]

You could try NMS components for now

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[river oracle]

review CHoco's PR

hopefully one day MD5 sees it :*(

for the time NMS / adventure ftw

[remote swallow]

components is pain

[young knoll]

MD has been busy lately

So PRs are a bit of a standstill :p

[orchid gazelle]

I did it :)

[young knoll]

Well I assume he’s busy, either that or the Austrian wildlife got him

[orchid gazelle]

Australian*

[young knoll]

Shh

He’s Austrian now

How do I make a Text Display entity type not be seeable from just 1 side?

[kind hatch]

Make it centered instead of fixed.

[young knoll]

Display#setBillboard

[cedar pine]

Oh oh, tyvm

[river oracle]

I need to serialize a shit load of item stacks to base64 what'd be a good way to do this

or bytes it really doesn't matter as long as its fast

[young knoll]

BukkitObjectOutputStream

It should be able to take an array

[river oracle]

alright

[cedar pine]

Like so @kind hatch ?

            Entity entity = block.getLocation().getWorld().spawnEntity(block.getLocation(), EntityType.TEXT_DISPLAY);
            
            ((TextDisplay) entity).setText(ChatColor.GOLD + "+ " + blockExperience + " XP");
            ((TextDisplay) entity).setSeeThrough(true);
            ((TextDisplay) entity).setAlignment(TextAlignment.CENTER);
            entity.teleport(block.getLocation().add(0.5, 1, 2));

[river oracle]

    private static void savePlayerInventory(Player player) {
        try (var fos = new FileOutputStream(filePath(player.getUniqueId()).toFile())) {
            try (var boobs = new BukkitObjectOutputStream(fos)) {
                boobs.writeObject(player.getInventory().getContents());
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }```

[zenith gate]

can I use both Spigot and Paper API? ( Paper has a PlayerArmorChangeEvent event )

[remote swallow]

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/ArmorEquipEvent

[kind hatch]

Not if you want to support spigot servers.

[young knoll]

Spigot api works on paper

Paper api no work on spigot

[zenith gate]

okay, So can i just add a depend for paper or do i have to create a paper project?

[kind hatch]

If you want to support spigot servers, depend on the spigot API. (As spigot plugins can run on paper no issue.)
If you want to only support paper servers, depend on the paper API.

[primal ermine]

Hey. Showing item from players hand info in chat with Chat component API. Is there any way to do this without NMS? Is there any way to convert itemstack to json, that hover event would take as SHOW_ITEM? Hours of googling and still no good solution :/

[young knoll]

Yes

Hold on

[tender shard]

No. Use the library Epic sent ^

[zenith gate]

I'll still have spigot support if I use that?

[young knoll]

#general message

[primal ermine]

Yeah, i know that. Problem is that I can't find a way to use item from players hand as a hover. Every answer i've found uses CraftItemStack.asNMSCopy(stack).

Yeah. All my tries for now either showed minecraft:air or items without enchants/lore etc

Gonna try that tomorrow. Thanks 🙂

[river oracle]

Hello, Spigotmc today I ask you all mods and very simple question?

How async my file IO actions I give eaxemple below

        try (var fos = new FileOutputStream(filePath(player.getUniqueId()).toFile())) {
            try (var boobs = new BukkitObjectOutputStream(fos)) {
                boobs.writeObject(player.getInventory().getContents());
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
``` I want write this to file! H owever, how do I do this ASYNC? I run this while many players on and load and save these every so often hwo do I do async I don't want to lag main thread

[remote swallow]

fos boobs

[kind hatch]

BukkitScheduler
ExecutorService
ForkJoinPool

Any of those should do it.

[river oracle]

I can do the streams async?

I thought you couldn't do any IO streams asynchronously

in that case :}
CompleteableFutre#supplyAsync can do everything

[hazy parrot]

You sure can

[cedar pine]

Doesn't work, which is why I was asking lol

[river oracle]

nope

[zenith gate]

int current = playerData.get(new NamespacedKey(ToastsRPG.getPlugin(), "manaPerSec"), PersistentDataType.INTEGER);
                                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When creating a name spaced key. is it unique to that plugin? You have to pass your plugin, and the actual key. If i want to access that datatype from another plugin, do I have to use the instance of the plugin that created it or does it not matter?

I'm asking because im getting an error that says "manaPerSec" doesn't exist. but it does, cause my mana goes up by 1 ever sec.

[remote swallow]

it uses the plugin name as the key, like minecraft has minecraft:poppies urs would be pluginname:manapersec

[young knoll]

You don’t technically need your plugin instance to make it

There’s fromString now

[zenith gate]

Okay, that would make sense on why it’s giving me an error then.

[zenith gate]

Really?

[young knoll]

Mhm

[zenith gate]

Ima use that lol

[young knoll]

Why you skullin me boi @river oracle

[remote swallow]

get double skulled

[young knoll]

Fuckin nitro users and their cringe super reactions

[zenith gate]

Lmao

[remote swallow]

ur cringe

[river oracle]

I use them all right away cuz its funny

to super react the stupidest shit

    @Override
    public CompletableFuture<? extends ItemStack[]> asyncLoad(UUID key, Executor executor) throws Exception {
        if (Files.isRegularFile(PlayerInventoryCache.filePath(key))) {
            return PlayerInventoryCache.retrievePlayerInventory(Bukkit.getPlayer(key));
        }
        
        return CompletableFuture.completedFuture(Bukkit.getPlayer(key).getInventory().getContents());
    }

guys how can I improve this code

[hazy parrot]

Why ? Extends itemstack

[young knoll]

Ur just jealous of me swamp

[river oracle]

tis how Caffeine cacheing works

though it'll just always be ItemStack[] so I can just remove that

[remote swallow]

dafrick is caffiene

in that context

[hazy parrot]

Yeah

[hazy parrot]

It's cache library

[river oracle]

its THEE cache library

[remote swallow]

can i have a link

[onyx fjord]

Mine is better

Just saying

[river oracle]

shut

[river oracle]

?caffeine

The Caffeine Cache Library Below:
https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine

[remote swallow]

gimme an example

[onyx fjord]

Mine is as performant as normal hashmap

[river oracle]

@onyx fjord if yours is better can you do similar testing against caffeine and guava and make a performance chart

make sure you don't miss any features

[onyx fjord]

I don't want bloat

[river oracle]

https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine/wiki/Benchmarks

[remote swallow]

or how would i use it in loading playerdata, delting it after 5-15 min if they leave and dont join back

[onyx fjord]

Doubt you can beat a hashmap

[river oracle]

lol but you also lose out on all the convient cacheing features. Features aren't bloat.

[onyx fjord]

Caching library should let you cache stuff

That's it

[river oracle]

💀 that's what this does

[remote swallow]

nothin?

[onyx fjord]

How big is caffeine in lines of code

[remote swallow]

smh

[onyx fjord]

I know guava is bloat

[young knoll]

Why does that matter

Guava is in spigot already

[river oracle]

kacper hates all things convience

it seems

[onyx fjord]

No i just like simplicity

[zenith gate]

plus what are extra features going to do to your performance? i doubt itll affect it drasticly.

[river oracle]

I mean you can stick with a ConccurrentHashMap, but it lacks expirey time removal listener, eviction listener, refresh time etc

[split lichen]

Can anyone help me out with modifying chat tab completions? I'm trying to prompt fake player names when using tab, both in commands and in chat for a minigame I'm developing. It works fine when executing a command, but if I were to just press tab in chat to display all online players, including the fake ones, I get a random selection of numbers and letters. When utilizing tab in commands it works fine. Anyone got any idea what the issue is?

[worldly ingot]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#addCustomChatCompletions(java.util.Collection)

[split lichen]

I'm afraid I can't see this method anywhere, is that a new feature?

I don't have the option to call it, as if it doesn't exist

[river oracle]

what version

[kind hatch]

When did this become a thing?!?

[split lichen]

if you're asking me, I'm using the latest api version

[remote swallow]

who solte it off paper

[worldly ingot]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/bukkit/commits/8291a7d120ad438bb2123c1a1e894cd370b91644#src/main/java/org/bukkit/entity/Player.java

1.19.3

[young knoll]

Wasn’t me

[remote swallow]

smh choco

wait

im not meant to use this?

[young knoll]

Why do you use it

[remote swallow]

to update an item i modify inthere inv

[young knoll]

Why would you need to do that

[remote swallow]

without making it disappear and appear

[young knoll]

What

[worldly ingot]

Yeah you definitely don't need to call that like ever

It's a last resort method

[young knoll]

Getting an item from a players inv should give you a mirror

[river oracle]

you only really need to call it if you do shit with packets or some crazy other shit

[young knoll]

Which will automatically reflect changes

[remote swallow]

oh

[worldly ingot]

My favourite part about mirrors

[young knoll]

Epic = 🥄

[remote swallow]

isnt the best part you can see ur uskies

[split lichen]

just tested it out, works as expected, thanks for the assistance!

can I just ask, is there a way to remove those letters and numbers as well? because I'm getting the custom tab completions properly, but alongside those sequences of numbers and letters

it seems to be done automatically

this is what I mean

[remote swallow]

try using set instead

[split lichen]

as in Set<String>, in contrast to a collection?

[remote swallow]

setCustomChatCompletions

[split lichen]

still the same issue unfortunately

the problem is I don't understand what those number represent, or are supposed to represent

if the correct player name is being added as well

[echo basalt]

this doesn't look smart

The player is always online

There's no point in spinning up another thread to call a getter

[worldly ingot]

I can only imagine this is an NPC or something

[split lichen]

It is, yes, I'm adding npc instances as the fake player modules, setting their custom display names both in the tablist and in chat

do you know any way to remove them from the chat completions?

[worldly ingot]

I don't think you can. At least not as far as I'm aware

[split lichen]

Would the result be the same if I modified the tablist to display fake player instances through packet manipulation? I would mitigate having to utilize npcs that way

if the NPCs are the issue here

[quaint mantle]

bro via version translates text display's so weird like \n doesn't make new lines for users on versions with text display's

[young knoll]

What

[quaint mantle]

?whereami

[undone axle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/864180468680360027/944415049462714469/whereami.mp4

[quaint mantle]

Why don’t you report the issue in ViaVersion discord server?

ion know what their cord is

[young knoll]

\n doesn’t make new lines on versions with text displays?

[quaint mantle]

It does

[young knoll]

So you meant without

[quaint mantle]

.

Im saying when playe4rs on 1.18 join via version translates them to holograms but the \n don't make no new lines

[young knoll]

Ah

Yeah that’s pretty expected

Other entities don’t support \n in their names

Via version would have to spawn an armor stand per line I guess

[quaint mantle]

Text display's do so I would figure via version would translate them using multiple entities

I would hope

[young knoll]

Backwards compatibly isn’t really meant to be a thing

The fact that it works at all is a miracle sometimes

[quaint mantle]

thats what via version adds does it not

1.20.1 -> 1.19

ect

[kind hatch]

ViaVersion is forwards compatible.

You're thinking of ViaBackwards

[young knoll]

Well yeah

[quaint mantle]

Ah shit

[young knoll]

Either way it’s a massive hack

[quaint mantle]

True. I really cannot think about a way to translate blockdisplay and item display in <1.19.4

[young knoll]

And display entities are basically impossible to translate properly

[quaint mantle]

well when I cut off versions less player's play

[quaint mantle]

I mean if your using text display's for basic holograms

[young knoll]

You can use armor stands

But they can’t be scaled or rotated certain ways

Or interpolated at all

[river oracle]

It could be calling from a file I have the inventory serialized to a file for redundancy
I highly doubt reading files from main thread while the server is running is a good idea.

Generally I feel like doing FileIO, and Database calls Sync is not a great idea.
This method just ensures none of that occurs.

Personally don't see the issue with this method.
If The player's inventory has a cached file load that.
Otherwise just grab their current inventory (not asynchronously) using CompleteableFuture#completedFuture

Why is this sytem necessary? I'm clearing player's inventories for a minigame in the same world. You don't want inventories being lost on crashes etc. Which is the reason why something like this would be necessary. Yes the inventory is stored in memory, but a backup is necessary given all hell breaks loose and a crash occurs. Players losing items really isn't ideal especially on an SMP like server. I'd be happy to take advise on a better implementation of such a system with the same redundancies i'm including

I mean i myself just thuoght of a slightly better model to implement my idea, but still holds that I'm storing player inventory and need some form of redundancy to ensure data isn't loss on server crash etc. Still open to recommendations though

[zenith gate]

I need some help with thinking. I am trying to determine when a player is wearing a full 4 piece set of my armor. When they are wearing all pieces they get a special unique buff geared towards that armor. Now, I have already checked and got working, How to get their armor contents and to know when they are wearing a full 4 piece set. The 1 thing I need to figure out how to is, to determine when they are wearing it and not.
When the ArmorEquipEvent goes of, it checks armor contents and armorSetValue = 0; hasHelm? -> armorSetValue++; ... etc when armor piece on add +1 to counter. if counter = 4 give set bonus. The thing is, a player can spam the take off and put on and double their bonuses. to infinite levels. What kind of approach should I be taking here?

[eternal oxide]

Spigot has no ArmorEquipEvent. You are using a fork

[zenith gate]

Yeah

Jeff

thats him

all i do is work on things. i have nothing to do lol. so i have a lot of questions and errors. 😆

[quaint tapir]

do bukkitrunnables cause server lag

[ivory sleet]

A lot

If used incorrectly

Like everything else

[quaint tapir]

how do I use it incorrectly

[ivory sleet]

Else no issues

[young knoll]

Schedule 5000 of them per tick

[zenith gate]

Im trying to stay away from them. I alreadyt have a shit ton.

[quaint tapir]

is it that bad xd

[ivory sleet]

I mean use BukkitRunnable if you have to

[young knoll]

Have a repeating runnable that runs every tick and loops over every block in every loaded chunk

[ivory sleet]

Its a tool in ur arsenal

Not to be abused, but to be used appropriately

[quaint tapir]

how many is considered too many

[ivory sleet]

Depends

Im quite sure you won’t run into that issue tho

Where you have too many that is

[zenith gate]

I just hate how it looks.

indents are terrible

[ivory sleet]

That’s easy to fix

[quaint tapir]

idc about indents lol
just want to know if it will cause lag

[zenith gate]

I minimize them yeah..

[zenith gate]

Why?

[quaint tapir]

so what would be the best alternative to runTaskTimer?

[ivory sleet]

?scheduling goes over it briefly, I didn’t wanna dig in too deeply about the differences but yeah

[undone axle]

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

[ivory sleet]

Might have to write that in sooner or later tho

[young knoll]

If ur really worried about performance grab spark and do some profiling

I guarantee anything you are doing with schedulers tho is probably a fraction of what the server itself is doing every tick

[ivory sleet]

^

The main issue with creating too many bukkit runnables, or using bukkit scheduler to allocate new tasks is that the id task incrementer eventually will run out of ids and go negative probably lol

[young knoll]

True, I forgot there is a counter

[ivory sleet]

Should’ve been a long >:(

[young knoll]

I never use task ids

[ivory sleet]

Same tbh, BukkitTask just too good

[young knoll]

Could always be changed

[ivory sleet]

Dk if it could

Cuz I mean, int auto promotes to long but not the other way around necessarily

[young knoll]

Ah right the return type

[ivory sleet]

Yea right, sadge :(

Probably wanna look at the command api, then yeah as pvbble said iterate thru and add them to a team

[quaint tapir]

say I wanted to launch a player then detect if they collide with another player in th next 5 seconds
how would I do this without using runTaskTimer

[ivory sleet]

Just compare time stamps based on some epoch (Java has an Instant and Duration class made for ur convenience here)

[young knoll]

Isn’t there an event for that

Hmm maybe not

[quaint tapir]

wdym by duration class

[ivory sleet]

Its a class that just represents a duration quite verbatim

And Instant represents a time stamp respectively

[young knoll]

Yeah if there isn’t an event for collision all you can really do is every tick check if their bounding box intersects another players bounding box

Via a scheduler

I guess you could also use the move event for the same purpose

[quaint tapir]

can you dumb it down so a 50 IQ person can understand

[ivory sleet]

Yea, I was gonna say reflection proxy and nms but don’t listen to me

[quaint tapir]

the duration thing

[young knoll]

Lol

[ivory sleet]

Do you know what the english word duration means?

[quaint tapir]

well I'll look into it
thanks

yeah

not what a quite verbatim is tho

[ivory sleet]

There is a class in java, provided by java just like HashMap, List and String

Oh i just meant quite literally

[quaint tapir]

ah

[ivory sleet]

It represents a duration, yeah that’s it

Duration duration = Duration.ofMinutes(5);

This would represent 5 minutes

[quaint tapir]

I it think I understand

[ivory sleet]

Now have you heard of the method System.currentTimeMillis() ?

[quaint tapir]

yeah

[ivory sleet]

Poggers

So basically there’s a better variant

[high pewter]

I know this is quite late, but turns out this doesn't work for all entities. There is a Material.SNOW_GOLEM_SPAWN_EGG but not an EntityType.SNOW_GOLEM because it's called EntityType.SNOWMAN. I'm guessing there's probs other exceptions I haven't encountered yet. Any other ideas?

[ivory sleet]

Instant instant = Instant.now();

This is like that currentTimeMillis method

But it returns an instant instead

(Consider it to be a time stamp representation)

Now with these two, you can easily manage timestamps and durations, that is compare them, create them and so on

[tidal anchor]

is there a way i can set a tag to a item?

[ivory sleet]

Nbt tag?

[young knoll]

What will we do after 2038

[ivory sleet]

Random or not?

[tidal anchor]

like this in SKript "set metadata tag "fancyTable""

[ivory sleet]

Yikes bud

Metadata is kinda trolling if u use that nowadays

[tidal anchor]

how do i use it

[ivory sleet]

There’s this magical api called persistent data container instead

[tidal anchor]

nope

[ivory sleet]

Wdym nope?

[tidal anchor]

no api\

[ivory sleet]

Yes api/

[tidal anchor]

no api\

[ivory sleet]

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[wet breach]

Not sure if skript has api for it

[ivory sleet]

Ah, myes maybe yeah

[wet breach]

But that is why java is more superior

[ivory sleet]

Indeed

[tidal anchor]

no i'm trying to set the metadata tag in JAVA

[wet breach]

There is itemmeta

In the api

I mean for some people skript has a use. It was designed for people like server owners who were not devs

It was never designed as a replacement for plugins

[zenith gate]

@EventHandler
    public void onArmorEquip(ArmorEquipEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        PersistentDataContainer playerData = player.getPersistentDataContainer();
        int currentMana = playerData.get(new NamespacedKey(Mana.getPlugin(), "maxMana"), PersistentDataType.INTEGER);

        Inventory playerInv = player.getInventory();
        ItemStack[] armorContents = playerInv.getContents();

        PersistentDataContainer helmetData = armorContents[39].getItemMeta().getPersistentDataContainer();
        PersistentDataContainer chestplateData = armorContents[38].getItemMeta().getPersistentDataContainer();
        PersistentDataContainer leggingsData = armorContents[37].getItemMeta().getPersistentDataContainer();
        PersistentDataContainer bootsData = armorContents[36].getItemMeta().getPersistentDataContainer();

    }

How can i determine when to give the player a set bonus without it stacking. i have been playing around and i don't know what to do. I am using Jeffs Fork for the event.

        return false;
    }


}

sorry if its too long

but i have this class which applies bonemeal to the rightclicked block

is there a way i can make this work inside a dispenser

[young knoll]

There’s an event

DispenseItemEvent I think

[cloud tusk]

so i get the block infront of the dispenser and apply the same stuff to bonemeal it?

[young knoll]

BlockDispenseEvent

I was close

[young knoll]

Yes

[river oracle]

is there anyway to send a fake block with the API

[young knoll]

Sure

Player.sendBlockChange

[river oracle]

does the packet fail when its interacted with?

[young knoll]

Yes

You’d need to resend it

[echo basalt]

well

The server sends a block change packet to correct for ghost blocks

what I've done in the past is just.. cancel that second packet

and then things work

[river oracle]

do I need NMS if I do I'll just find another way I really don't feel like keeping up NMS for a commission

[echo basalt]

sendBlockChange is a bit too icky for me to use in its current state if all it allows for is fake-ish blocks that disappear when you click

[echo basalt]

pretty sure I had major code for this

But it used protocollib

And it was a bit braindead

And we had our custom blockstate system

[river oracle]

meh not worth it I'll just make the server owner put wool around the zone if he wants it :P

[echo basalt]

I should probably clean it up and post a gist or something

[young knoll]

The real sigma move is to inject new blocks into the game

[echo basalt]

Because there was quite a bunch of work

[river oracle]

FakeBlock's sound fun

god I need to escape this commission

[echo basalt]

I made FakeBlockWrapper as uhh

[river oracle]

I just need to finish this dumb minigame

[echo basalt]

funny

[river oracle]

I should've asked for more than $250 😭

[echo basalt]

What you doin? minigame?

I should really finish my minigame utils honestly

[river oracle]

some simple thing, I just get distracted

[river oracle]

I have a game engine its just intertwined with the core from the server I worked for. Its one of my best pieces of code tbh. Not being able to use it makes me wanna cry

[young knoll]

Isn’t this why we don’t want to make things tightly coupled

:p

[echo basalt]

it's so much yet so little

[river oracle]

its a bunch of QOL stuff that I can recreate it'll just take time. It's mostly not coupled, just a bunch of like translation stuff that ofc makes sense to be coupled with the core as well as data handling

[echo basalt]

adapter

[river oracle]

youre an adapter

go adapt something already

https://tenor.com/view/the-angry-video-game-nerd-excited-omg-device-nervous-gif-5297446

[echo basalt]

I'm about to adapt my sexual preferences towards your mom

[echo basalt]

sun tzu been real quiet since I dropped that one

[cloud tusk]

one more question, i found some code online and it has getFacing() in it but for me it shows red in intellij, how do i fix it? BlockFace dispenserFacing = dispenser.getFacing();

[cloud tusk]

.

[ancient plank]

do you have the correct class imported
org.bukkit.block.data.type.Dispenser (correct) vs org.bukkit.block.Dispenser (wrong)

[zenith gate]

do basic items have a PDC key by default?

[young knoll]

Items have no pdc by default

[zenith gate]

okay so i can return if its null.

[cloud tusk]

ty this works, let me test it and see if my code is actually working and bonemeals stuff

[exotic garnet]

ChatColor is showing deprecated on 1.20.1 Spigot-API, is there an alternative we're supposed to use?

Edit: Paper deprecated ChatColor, nevermind...

[worldly ingot]

It's not deprecated in Spigot

Yep

beat me to it lol

[exotic garnet]

Lol

[cloud tusk]

my code is perfectly fine in the ide but it doesnt do what its supposed to do, it doesnt apply the bonemeal rather just spits the item out

[exotic garnet]

We need some more context or just send your code.

So ultimately we know it's not cancelling the event since its just dispensing the item

Which means your appleBoneMeal method is returning false for some reason

Do some debugging by logging your values into the console to see if you're getting the values you're looking for

[cloud tusk]

ok thanks

[exotic garnet]

I also suggest you perhaps add those materials into a list and asking if your block type is contained within that list instead of having a huge if statement

[young knoll]

Use a set for extra speeds

[exotic garnet]

True

Was literally thinking of correcting myself lol

[echo basalt]

config

[torn shuttle]

ah of course

yesterday I left off and had an issue where things were offset too high

today I boot and they are too low

I see the code gremlins have been chewing away at my code

[orchid trout]

why login event kick dont work

[kind hatch]

Cause the Login event is fired before the Join event. If you want to prevent them from joining using the Login event, use PlayerLoginEvent#disallow()

The player can't be kicked during Login since they haven't even joined the server yet.

[orchid trout]

im pretty sure i tried disallow

i dont even remember

[orchid trout]

i dont understand

ohh

async

nvm

[crude charm]

In a project I'm planning there are going to be alot of "select" menus? How should I go about storing and interpreting the players choice? Is there an api to make stuff like this easy? e.g selecting a chat colour or prefix or a "theme" for their plot. Should this be saved on internal memory or on a db?

[kind hatch]

Depending on your input, you could do GUIs if the player doesn't have to type anything out. Interpreting is up to you, but you should store that information in a database. Then load the information when the player joins and unload the information when they leave.

[crude charm]

I'm planning on using a gui, I simply want to know the cleanest and best way to store it. So if they select something out of say like 10 options, thats the one which will run code ect. It's quite abit of work to edit a db entry every time. There is small stuff that it doesn't matter if there is a corruption or something and its reset. Is there an api / util to make this easy?

[echo basalt]

Depends on your menu system

For example at work we have a "PaginationLayer" that lets you add elements easily

We also have layers for selection (SingleSelectionLayer)

[crude charm]

Is there a specific util for menus you recommend to make this easier?

[echo basalt]

I just use my own so

closest one to it is probably IF or triumph

[crimson scarab]

how can i "hit" a non entity programmatically for example causing an end crystal to explode, a boat to shake, a itemframe to break

[crude charm]

what is IF short for?

[kind hatch]

InventoryFramework

[crude charm]

ah

found it https://github.com/stefvanschie/IF

thanks, I'll look into both and see if they fit my needs

[quaint mantle]

I've been trying to use NMS with my paper plugin and I got the dependency added to my project, but im not able to use the classes or anything with spigot

[buoyant viper]

Paper?

?whereami

[undone axle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/864180468680360027/944415049462714469/whereami.mp4

[opal carbon]

do you have the spigot dependency loaded?

[opal carbon]

well i think any sort of nms goes through spigot so its still relevant

paper doesnt have their own nms dependency system or anything

[buoyant viper]

depends on if theyre using paperweight-userdev or md5 specialsource i think

[opal carbon]

never heard of paperweight userdev ngl

[buoyant viper]

https://github.com/PaperMC/paperweight/tree/main :P

[opal carbon]

still gonna be the spigot dependency though

seems like thats just a plugin

correct me if im wrong though

[sturdy reef]

guys i want to make interactive boards and i want a starting clue to help me start the project

[fervent robin]

Does PlayerItemDamageEvent not work on swords?

[vast ledge]

should

[fervent robin]

Its not for me

[sterile breach]

Hi, question about playerCommandsendevent
because if I understand correctly it works as it is

when the list will be sent
on the edit
on the evening

So the default roster before being modified will not be sent to the player just the modified roster?

so the player never receives the first list?

[placid moss]

item#getItemMeta#getDisplayName

to get item use getCurrentItem off the inventoryclickevent

assuming you are referring to https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/inventory/InventoryClickEvent.html

[somber scarab]

does anyone know what a timing command is?

I keep getting those errors that Im using timing commands and it's depricated

but i, not sure where im using it.. i dont even know what it is

[buoyant viper]

sounds like u might be using Paper, as i dont believe Spigot mentions timings command being deprecated

Paper on the other hand heavily recommends the Spark profiler iirc

[timid hedge]

What have i exactly messed up here?

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {

        if (sender instanceof Player) {
            Player player = (Player) sender;
            if (isPlayerInGroup(player, "testGroup1") || isPlayerInGroup(player, "testGroup2") || isPlayerInGroup(player, "testGroup3") || isPlayerInGroup(player, "testGroup4")) {
                if (player.getWorld().getName().equalsIgnoreCase("C")) {
                    new VagtshopC().open(player);
                } else {
                    if (player.getWorld().getName().equalsIgnoreCase("B")) {
                        new VagtshopB().open(player);
                    } else {
                        if (player.getWorld().getName().equalsIgnoreCase("A")) {
                            new VagtshopA().open(player);
            }else{
                sender.sendMessage("You dont have permission for this.");
                        } else {
                            sender.sendMessage("You cant do this in your world.");
                            }
        } else {
            if (sender instanceof ConsoleCommandSender) {
                sender.sendMessage("You need to be a player to do this");
                }
            }
                    return true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

At

                        } else {
                            sender.sendMessage("You cant do this in your world.");
                            }

                sender.sendMessage("You need to be a player to do this");
                }
            }

It says: 'else' without 'if'

[drowsy helm]

give us some context on what is not working

also try and avoid all those nested if statements, you can just use a switch

[timid hedge]

I have updated the message

[drowsy helm]

else if statements also exist

which one is it the first else or the instance of bit giving you the error?

[quaint mantle]

You can just do

if (!(sender instanceof Player)) return false;

[drowsy helm]

looks like your brackets are wrong

try and fix your indentation

[timid hedge]

So i just need to replace that with if (sender instanceof ConsoleCommandSender) { right?

[quaint mantle]

Wait I will send a fix

[drowsy helm]

its more than just that

[quaint mantle]

if (sender instanceof Player) {
            Player player = (Player) sender;
            if (isPlayerInGroup(player, "testGroup1") || isPlayerInGroup(player, "testGroup2") || isPlayerInGroup(player, "testGroup3") || isPlayerInGroup(player, "testGroup4")) {
                if (player.getWorld().getName().equalsIgnoreCase("C")) {
                    new VagtshopC().open(player);
                } else {
                    if (player.getWorld().getName().equalsIgnoreCase("B")) {
                        new VagtshopB().open(player);
                    } else {
                        if (player.getWorld().getName().equalsIgnoreCase("A")) {
                            new VagtshopA().open(player);
                        } else {
                            sender.sendMessage("You dont have permission for this.");
                        } else{
                            sender.sendMessage("You cant do this in your world.");
                        }

                    }
                }
            }else {
                        if (sender instanceof ConsoleCommandSender) {
                            sender.sendMessage("You need to be a player to do this");
                        }
                    }
                    return true;
                }
            }

[timid hedge]

Thanks
But im getting 1 error still
'else' without 'if'
} else{ sender.sendMessage("You cant do this in your world."); }

[drowsy helm]

like i said your indentaion is off

[timid hedge]

What do you mean with that?

[drowsy helm]

your brackets are everywhere

you have one too many aswell

and use else if statements instead of else { if{}}

[timid hedge]

But i cant just use else if here

                        } else{
                            sender.sendMessage("§8[ §3§lEXON §f§lMC §8] §7Du kan ikke gøre dette i dit world.");
                        }

[drowsy helm]

in your world check you are doing

else{
  if (){
  } else{
    if (){

  }```

you can just do

if(){

} else if(){

} else if() {

}```

its much cleaner

or just use a switch

[quaint mantle]

if (!(sender instanceof Player)) {
            sender.sendMessage("Only players execute.");
            return false;
        }
        if (!(isPlayerInGroup(player, "testGroup1") || isPlayerInGroup(player, "testGroup2") || isPlayerInGroup(player, "testGroup3") || isPlayerInGroup(player, "testGroup4"))) {
            sender.sendMessage("No perm");
            return false;
        }

        Player player = (Player) sender;

        switch (player.getWorld().getName()) {

            case "A" -> {}
            case "B" -> {}
            case "C" -> {}

            default -> {
                player.sendMessage("cannot do it on your world!");
            }
        }

        return true;

sounds intriguing but definitely not something I'm interested in

well so do I and I'm already working on it for 3.5 months. It is however not a server concept but a plugin (and yes, it will be public) - still a lot to do though

It is working already but needs some more polish :)

i hear that like 3 times a week

Go... make. A ... forum post...

I'm trying to get my plugin to work just 4 days and I thought that was a lot, jeez

the thing is, this idea to to valuabale to share

well it's a whole engine - even if I knew exactly what I had to type (codewise) I would not be done in 4 days since it's just too much code

when it's too valuable to share then why do you wanna share it? lol

Shut the hell up my man. Your unique one of a kind super 3000 mega idea is not gonna Steve jobs you to spigot royalty.

Be open, honest excited about the concept and just do it.

And stop using this supercalifrajulisticexpialibullshit to try and sell the idea.
