This is so sick

I never knew minimessage had this

[wet breach]

I have no idea about addons. Generally what i know to be a addon means it needs something else to work. If its it own plugin it should work otherwise idk. I dont pay attention to plugins more so from other sites

[smoky anchor]

I was always confused by this, vanilla /tp command teleports passengers as well
So this must be a bukkit/spigot quirk, right ?

[echo basalt]

It does the dismount trick

[smoky anchor]

Really ?
I feel like there would then be some visual disconnect between the entities in that case.

[floral drum]

Just a general question - if you guys were to autoscale minecraft instances, how would you go about doing it? Certain % of the maximum playercount? Have an extra instance free? etc.

[vapid verge]

How would you guys negate PlayerItemDamageEvent? I want to negate the damage being taken from a pick when it mines a specific block. I would just negate it within BlockBreakEvent, but I want it to account for Unbreaking. If Unbreaking procs, I don't believe PlayerItemDamageEvent triggers, so I'm thinking I need to handle that event, and somehow check if a condition is met before I cancel the event (since I'm only cancelling the event if a specific requirement is met).

Specifically, how can I tell the PlayerItemDamageEvent the context of BlockBreakEvent, such as what block was broken?

[smoky anchor]

What do you mean by "negate" ?
Cancel ? Or change the durability damage value.

[vapid verge]

When BlockBreakEvent triggers, under certain conditions, 100 points of damage is added to the pick. When this triggers, I need to cancel the PlayerItemDamageEvent when it triggers next, since I already added the damage I wanted. This will negate the unbreaking effect, since regardless of if it triggers or not, my damage is still added (and I won't have other damage offsetting my 100 points of damage from the PlayerItemDamageEvent)

So, I want to cancel the event.

[smoky anchor]

Assuming the order of the events fired is always the same, you could just give the player a flag and check if the player has that flag in the next PlayerItemDamageEvent.
Not the most elegant solution, but it is one that should work.
If I understood your request correctly.

[torn shuttle]

yawning so hard you get a muscle cramp

it's one of those days

[floral drum]

I hate thatttt

[vapid verge]

If unbreaking doesn't trigger the PlayerItemDamageEvent, I can't gurantee that the next PlayerItemDamageEvent will be from mining the specific block right?

Is there an easy way to time out the flag? That would be janky, but should work.

[floral drum]

@vivid cave you gotta be abusing the discord api and sending the api post requests for "typing"

right??

like holyyy

[remote swallow]

it reminds me of soemone in general

[smoky anchor]

Right, in that case just store the current tick or something. The events should not happen outside of a specific tick.

[floral drum]

god

[remote swallow]

they were typing for like 8 hours

[floral drum]

yeah

[floral drum]

bumpity bump bump

[vivid cave]

Haha thanks for your extended answer.
To be fair I was mostly kidding/venting.
I know what an API is for and totally understand its motivation.

However I don't always agree with the convenience part.
It seems not to bother people to add a whole dependency sometimes just for a couple of lines of code, because they couldn't bother to head into more technical stuff than what they are used to.
In my experience, the more dependencies you have the less maintainable your project is. Because you have to wait for their update cycles, if you have a bug well sometimes all you will be able to do is "post an issue on their repo", and last but not least many libraries are ruthless to their users: deprecating / removing features how well they want uhm uhm paper, refactoring core features because "it wasn't modern / standard practise enough blablabla".
In reality I consider a dependency as a loss of control over your software. As the name suggests, you depend on third parties. Sometimes it's for the best, but I feel that nowadays people will just consider the small time gain over everything else. And imo it's the very reason why browsing the internet has become a hellish place. From shopping websites to qol apps, I feel we've never been more exposed to bugs, inconsistencies and overall poor user experience.

[floral drum]

holy shit

it took you that long to write that...

[vivid cave]

Yes

[torn shuttle]

I think the world is conspiring to only sell me decaf

the coffee, it does nothing

[floral drum]

oh real

[vapid verge]

What attribute do players have to set flags? Other than scoreboard tags, I'm not seeing a way in the api to do this, unless I'm misunderstanding.

[smoky anchor]

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[smoky anchor]

but maybe meta might be enough, but I don't really know what it is meant to be used for

[vapid verge]

Thanks, I'll give a read

[vapid verge]

Any way to get the current tick of the server? Reading around and getting mixed answers that don't seem to work well.

[smoky anchor]

I guess you can use the current world time instead of server tick.
Should be effectively the same.

[pseudo hazel]

I agree, the only dependency I have is to use a fucking anvil gui without nms xD

[vapid verge]

FullTime should work yeah?

[smoky anchor]

I think so

[vapid verge]

Ok cool

[wet breach]

I would have to look in the code. But generally the server doesnt teleport entities and does the method i described in how to make it smooth. In other words it kills the entity and spawns a duplicate at the destination. This is how it works for portals anyways

So wouldnt surprise me if the vanilla tp command worked similarly to the portals in regards to entities

Hence you dont notice the disconnect

[cobalt thorn]

is it possible to get the hardness value?

[wet breach]

Yes

[cobalt thorn]

and how?

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Material.html#getHardness()

[cobalt thorn]

Thanks

[wet breach]

They are in fact not the same. World time resets. Server tick doesnt until it hits the max and resets

Which will take a long time because if i am not mistaken the server tick is backed by a long

[smoky anchor]

Yes, but for they are trying to do, the number itself does not matter, what matters is that it is a "tick" number.
Also the World#fullTime is long as well.

[wet breach]

I meant the time for the world loops around

[smoky anchor]

Oh ye that time
That should not be fullTime tho

[wet breach]

Well not sure what they need, but one of the times does not progress past a certain point and just resets back to 0 lol

If it doesnt matter for them then i guess just go with the time as that is more efficient

[ivory sleet]

Its a trade off, as we usually say it, there are no zero cost abstractions

[storm granite]

PlainTextComponentSerializer.plainText().serialize(yourComponentHere) will I lose color codes

[ivory sleet]

Think yes

since its just plain text

[storm granite]

rat bags

[ivory sleet]

Lol

Im not sure tho

[eternal night]

colour codes ?

[karmic mural]

Hey, in BlockPlaceEvent what does the bool "canBuild" track? I couldn't find anything more descriptive than it being a bool

[eternal night]

components don't have colour codes

[storm granite]

hwex code

[eternal night]

if you are including §a or the likes in your components, you are doing something wrong

ah

Well, yea

conclure was correct

[storm granite]

is there a way to keep that

[eternal night]

conclube wtf

no

[smoky anchor]

serialize to json instead ?

[eternal night]

yea

you'd have to pick some format that is capable of representing a component

be that legacy text, json, mini message

[storm granite]

or even better, is there a way to set the tablist name of a player to something with color codes in

[wet breach]

Probably better off using minimessage if they using paper

[eternal night]

i mean, idek what they end goal is here

why do you not want this in a component

[storm granite]

i do want it.

i want the tablist to be colored

[eternal night]

player.playerListName(yourComponentHere); ?

[storm granite]

can Bukkit.getPlayer(String name) get the player from the unique id?

[eternal night]

no

[eternal oxide]

no, there is another method for that

[eternal night]

[quaint mantle]

Does anyone have any idea on how would I play a "trace" particle for an arrow?
I currently have this

scheduler.runTaskTimer((task) -> {
    if (fastArrow.isDead()) {
        task.cancel();
        return;
    }

    if (fastArrow.isConstantVelocity()) {
        fastArrow.setVelocity(fastArrow.getConstantVelocity());
    }

    minecraftEntity.tick();
    if (fastArrow.showParticles()) {
        if (isVisible.get()) isVisible.set(false); //Set to false if still true

        World bukkitWorld = fastArrow.getWorld();
        Location bukkitLocation = fastArrow.getLocation();

        bukkitWorld.spawnParticle(Particle.CRIT, bukkitLocation, 10, 0.15, 0.15, 0.15, 0);
        bukkitWorld.spawnParticle(Particle.EGG_CRACK, bukkitLocation, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    }
}, 0, 1);

The problem is when the arrow is too fast, for example a velocity multiplied by 30, the particle gets displayed each 15-10 blocks aproximately, not "constantly". Is there any workaround I could do?

[eternal night]

you'd have to do what the client does: interpolate the position of the arrow yourself

[quaint mantle]

How would I do that?

[eternal night]

✨ math ✨

[quaint mantle]

Oh no

Oh no no no

*cries in mathematical problem

[icy bone]

What is the best way to keep fallingblocks into fallingblocks state? I dont want my falling blocks to turn into solid blocks when close to the ground. (I know I can keep it away from the ground but I want to walk around like a block). I tried to cancel EntityChangeBlockEvent but this makes the block disapear because it doesnt create the solid block but does remove the falling block. Does someone know a good way to help me out?

[smoky anchor]

What version are you on ?

[icy bone]

1.20.1

[smoky anchor]

If you can, use display entities

[icy bone]

Talk me a little through that one please?

Does this only show the entitie to me? or also everybody else?

[smoky anchor]

open google, and type in "Minecraft Block Display Entity"

It is an entity that can show block state models

[icy bone]

Ohh, thats good to know. Im going to try some with that. Thank you!

[smoky anchor]

I love converting ppl from armorstands or falling sand to the superior display entities.

[icy bone]

Didnt know this existed. This also feels like a better solution instead of the fallingsand armorstand solution

[smoky anchor]

Yeah, it is much more performant as the model shows only the front face (unlike falling sand that shows the backside as well for some reason)
You have only one entity that barely ticks server side
Was added in like 1.19.3

[icy bone]

I dont see any way to set its velocity, is it only possible to keep teleporting the display block or is there a way to make it more smoothly?

[smoky anchor]

Oh for movement tho...
It has one tick interpolation so teleporting it will look janky
The solution for that usually is: make it ride a different entity (armor stand) if you want to move it smoothly
But you might want to check the interpolation feature the display entities have.

[icy bone]

Ahhh, ill take some time to look into this. Is it possible to make it ride an armor stand because if i check the javadocs, i dont see armor stand as vehicle

And the addpassengers function tells me that if it cant ride the object, it will just return false and do nothign

[smoky anchor]

yes, you can make any entity ride any entity (except marker entities, those are a bit special)
the Vehicle interface is used only for minecarts iirc (maybe boats) vanilla intended rideable entities
the API for that was never really finished as well XD

[icy bone]

Ahhhh, i see

Do you still use the API to make an entity ride an armor stand or do you create your own way (asking so I know I need to check out how to do this later)

[eternal oxide]

setPassenger

[smoky anchor]

the addPassengers should work

[eternal oxide]

add 🙂

[icy bone]

Ah thanks!

Ill let you know later in a ffew days if it worked or got stuck haha

[smoky anchor]

feel free to tag me in that case
GL

[icy bone]

Thank you for the help!

[wet breach]

Could even use particles too

[silver robin]

Hope it's okay to ask math related questions here
I'm trying to make a circle of particles that appears in front of player, and it should rotate (so the circle is in a plane whose normal vector is player look direction)
Managed to make circle follow player's yaw and pitch, but I have no idea how to "combine" these two rotations, this is the code ```java
Location origin = event.getPlayer().getEyeLocation().clone();
for (int degree = 0; degree < 360; degree+=6) {
double radians = Math.toRadians(degree);
double x = Math.cos(radians) * R; // radius
double z = Math.sin(radians) * R;

Vector v1 = new Vector(0, 0, 6);
Vector v2 = new Vector(x, -z, 0);
Vector v3 = v1.clone().add(v2);
rotateAroundAxisY(v3, Math.toRadians(-yaw));
// for pitch, v1, v2, v3 are same, and:
// rotateAroundAxisX(V3, Math.toRadians(pitch));
spawnParticle(origin.clone().add(v3))//this is just a wrapper```

[sullen marlin]

By rotate you just mean the colour changes?

[smoky anchor]

not a solution but:
don't create new vectors every loop, create them before and then just v.set(...)
Also, no idea why you're cloning v1 when you don't use the original v1 for anything later
overall: create less objects whenever you can, otherwise the memory will die

[smoky anchor]

I think they mean rotating the circle

[sullen marlin]

I'm just confused what that means

[placid moss]

like rotate just one circle in both yaw and pitch

[sullen marlin]

Because a rotated circle is just a circle

[placid moss]

rotate in other axes

[smoky anchor]

well yes XD, but the direction the circle is facing is different

[placid moss]

like the circle all ways faces the player

[silver robin]

I understand the code is terrible right now 😄, but optimizations are for later
Imagine a vector that is coming from the player's eye direction
Then, imagine a plane that vector is perpendicular to (i.e. it's piercing that plane)
That plane is "facing" the player and the circle is on that plane
that's what I meant by rotating
It can be any other shape really

[sullen marlin]

Looks like it always faced the player in the gif lol

[smoky anchor]

yes, but the circles are rotating on separate axis
They don't know how to rotate on both axis at the same time

[placid moss]

there were two circles he wants only one

[silver robin]

Correct

also I apologize if this isn't really the best place to ask - asking in the math community and mentioning Minecraft would imo be even weirder

[smoky anchor]

I've seen someone here flexing their ability to shutdown PC with new "jni"
You're fine lol

[silver robin]

Eh, I'm trying to be nice

[native bramble]

How can i spawn ItemFrame with custom name?

Or change spawned ItemFrame name?

[smoky anchor]

entity.setDisplayName("name")
entity.setDisplayNameVisible(true)

[native bramble]

there is no setDisplayName for entity

only for player

[smoky anchor]

Custom*

I think

[placid moss]

can you not just use Vector#rotateAroundX, Vector#rotateAroundY and Vector#rotateAroundZ to transform each particle

[worthy moat]

Hey guys I want to build something like a little Cache. I need to store vars and Lists as long as the Server is online..If the server gets restarted they should be wiped...I had a static class which I always tried to read of...But this isnt a good use case. Any sugesstions?

[umbral ridge]

What api do I have to use to get org.bukkit.craftbukkit import?

[placid moss]

use spigot

[umbral ridge]

I'm using it

[placid moss]

just spigot in the dependency name

not spigot-api

[silver robin]

you see, rotating around Y is easy (it's just yaw), however after that, it's not aligned with X and Z axes, and if I applied only X rotation then it works just in one 3d quadrant (if that doesn't make sense: it works only for some of all the possible yaw/pitch combinations)
do you mean I should apply rotations both around X and around Z axes?
(the vectors I'd be rotating are from player's eyes towards the points on a circle)

[placid moss]

you also need builtools run

[umbral ridge]

Can it be the latest version?

1.20.1

[placid moss]

yes

[umbral ridge]

Ok thanks, so when it's finished building I just add the craftbukkit in a build path?

[placid moss]

what

[chrome beacon]

oh no you're using artifacts aren't you

💀

[placid moss]

wait

[chrome beacon]

?bootstrap

[undone axle]

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

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

[umbral ridge]

This is already in maven reposity

[worthy moat]

How can I spawn a Villager without Collision and not moving?

[umbral ridge]

I could download it I guess

It's in here? https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/org/spigotmc/spigot-api/

nvm xd

[chrome beacon]

Disable the AI

[grizzled oasis]

how can i throw random fireball to a location?

[worthy moat]

how?

[chrome beacon]

setAI(false)

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/LivingEntity.html#setAI(boolean)

[worthy moat]

Does this work in 1.8.8

[chrome beacon]

💀

No idea

[worthy moat]

nope SetAI does not exist

[placid moss]

rip 1.8.8

[worthy moat]

need that for a pvp gamemode

[grizzled oasis]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/remove-ai-from-an-entity.246045/ you need nms

[orchid trout]

?howoldis1.8today

[worthy moat]

cant use newer versions ig

Or can I code my plugin with newer versions and still use 1.8 pvp?

[hazy parrot]

?1.8

[undone axle]

https://howoldisminecraft188.today/

[grizzled oasis]

OldCombatMechanics

[placid moss]

there might me plugins for that i think

[grizzled oasis]

OldCombatMechanics does that

[placid moss]

oh yea ok

[worthy moat]

So thats how Hypixel builds plugins in newer versions and run old mechanics?

[chrome beacon]

Don't try to be Hypixel

They have a massive code base and full time developers

[dire marsh]

hypixel has their own server software they've developed over time to support new features

[grizzled oasis]

no probably custom

[icy beacon]

hypixel runs a 1.7 (i think?) modified core and then they support versions up to 1.20

or 1.8 but even so it's modified

custom yeah

[worthy moat]

I just want to write a minigame plugin for my 1.8 server but everytime I want to build something everybody hates it because its 1.8 Spigot

[dire marsh]

hypixel kb is also not 1.8 kb lol

[chrome beacon]

Well yeah it's like 8 years old

[icy beacon]

i'm currently doing a 1.8 commission and there's a reason why i'm charging 1.5x more than my normal price no im not

1.8's api is horrendous and very hard to work with

[smoky anchor]

smart XD

[dire marsh]

only 1.5? lol

[worthy moat]

So you guys suggest I upgrade to 1.120 and then run ViaVersions and this OldCombat Plugin?

[icy beacon]

basically no documentation

etc

[icy beacon]

1.14.4 or higher imo

for pdc and other cool stuff

[worthy moat]

pdc?

[chrome beacon]

?pdc

[icy beacon]

lol

[smoky anchor]

1.19.3 and higher for cool display entities :)

[icy beacon]

good point

[chrome beacon]

1.20.1 for Spigot updates and support

[dire marsh]

i wouldn't even bother supporting 1.8 clients on a 1.20 server, vice versa, it's bad

[icy beacon]

well yeah the newer the version, the easier to work with

[icy beacon]

a lot thanks to increase in proper documentation

compare docs in 1.8 and 1.20

spoiler, there are basically no docs in 1.8 lol

you can still code in 1.8

but it's masochism

[worthy moat]

hmm ok

So upgrade to 1.20 and use this plugin instead?

[icy beacon]

preferably

yes

[worthy moat]

But there is one issue with the newer versions...They all eat so many resources

[flint coyote]

Well hardware got better since 1.8

[icy beacon]

aren't newer versions better optimised too

[worthy moat]

yeah sure but I want to save as much as I can

[flint coyote]

might be. They do also have more features and therefore more checks

[icy beacon]

they eat more yeah but if optimisation hadn't improved since 1.8, they'd probably eat twice as much

true

EmbedBuilder is jda?

or what is it

[worthy moat]

yes

[placid moss]

DiscordSRV

[worthy moat]

Uh what do you guys think about Folia?

[placid moss]

its cool

[flint coyote]

well if that's the case you would use a stripped down server software like minestom

[icy beacon]

make sure that Color is java.awt.Color

[dire marsh]

it doesn't improve performance itself

[dire marsh]

it just makes things more multithreaded

[icy beacon]

hard to code against 😦

[worthy moat]

But inst multithreaded better for performance?

[placid moss]

its faster though

not necessarily

[worthy moat]

wdym?

[icy beacon]

i mean exactly that

[placid moss]

like you have to make sure of stuff

[eternal night]

the server already can use a good amount of threads

[placid moss]

multiple thread means you need to check thread safety and things like that

[worthy moat]

which would be the best performance server software I should code with?

[placid moss]

i mean

[dire marsh]

paper probably

[eternal night]

if your CPU is missing the cores to properly use folia, you will at best achive paper performanec

at worst, you'll slow yourself down due to context switching

[worthy moat]

So just use paper?

[eternal night]

yes

[placid moss]

spigot discord server recommending paper

[flint coyote]

isn't minestom usually used if you just wanna code and run a minigame?

[grizzled oasis]

final Random rand = new Random();

        Location location = commandSender.getLocation();

        final double angle = rand.nextDouble() * 360.0;
        final double xDrop = location.getX() + 1 * 40 * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(angle));
        final double zDrop = location.getZ() + 1 * 40 * Math.sin(Math.toRadians(angle));
        final double yDrop = location.getY() + ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextDouble(2.0, 4.0);
        final Location particle = new Location(location.getWorld(), xDrop, yDrop, zDrop);
        Fireball fireball = commandSender.getWorld().spawn(particle, Fireball.class);
        fireball.setShooter(commandSender);

im trying to make a random fireball shoots like a meteor but the fireball shoots and continues how can i make it drop on the ground like a meteor (im not that good in math lol)

[eternal night]

if

[flint coyote]

well he said he wants to code a minigame

[eternal night]

minestom is a different tool for a very different job

well

depends on what the mini game is about honestly

[worthy moat]

There is a paper 1.20 but not protocollib...Its for 1.19 max

[flint coyote]

that's true

[dire marsh]

use dev builds

[eternal night]

^ PL has dev builds out for 1.20

[worthy moat]

but there are plugins like multiverse too

[eternal night]

I mean, if you need plugins minestom is definitely the wrong pick

Minestom works if you have a one server one minigame instance setup

[worthy moat]

then 1.19

[eternal night]

most plugins should be available for 1.20

[worthy moat]

maby I will try to build a cloud later

[eternal night]

[brisk estuary]

hey, does anybody know if there's an event for Block.setType(Material)?

[eternal night]

I mean you can always rewrite then

there is not

API calls rarely trigger events

unless specified by the javadocs

[placid moss]

when you call Block.setType just call a custom event you make yourself

[paper cosmos]

Why could the information about methods and functions when mousing over them disappear? Recently I had them

[placid moss]

what ide do you use

[paper cosmos]

IJ

[placid moss]

have you tried restarting

[paper cosmos]

yes

[placid moss]

Color.LIME

is a thing

[vivid skiff]

What packet should i use to show a fake helmet to other players?

[placid moss]

what color class?

org.bukkit.Color?

[placid moss]

theres an equipment packet

[eternal oxide]

what spigot version?

[brisk estuary]

yeah, the problem is that it's not my plugin that is calling it xd

i guess it's time for a pr

[eternal night]

no

[placid moss]

https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Set_Equipment

[eternal oxide]

Sorry I don;t do support for 1.9

use the full package then

[eternal night]

a PR exposing an event when a plugin modifies a block sounds not fun

[eternal oxide]

org.bukkit.Color.LIME

[eternal night]

ask the plugin that is, for some reason, modifying the block you seem to care about to expose an event

[eternal oxide]

yes it does

you are doing it wrong

you can't use it as an import

[placid moss]

in the code

write org.bukkit.Color.LIME instead of Color.LIME

full qualifying name

[worthy moat]

Hey guys I want to build something like a little Cache. I need to store vars and Lists as long as the Application is online..If the application gets restarted they should be wiped...I had a static class which I always tried to read of those vars..But this isnt a good use case. Any sugesstions how I should build my Cache? My use case is a Minecraft Minigame and I store things like a Var which tells me they are in the waiting lobby phase and not ingame for example

[placid moss]

why do you need java.awt.Color though

[placid moss]

just use a list

[eternal oxide]

an embed?

[vivid skiff]

I tried using it but it isn't working, it equips and shows the armor only to the player not to who is looking to the player. I need to show the fake armor only to who is looking at the player not the player

[eternal oxide]

so not Spigot?

[grizzled oasis]

someone?

[silent steeple]

LIGHT_GREEN

[placid moss]

send the packet to the player you want to be able to see the armor

[eternal oxide]

show some code

[graceful aspen]

which the best minestorm or spigot and what the difference ?

[placid moss]

so basically send the packet to the viewer not the player equiping the armor

[placid moss]

minestom is barebones for you to implement server mechanics yourself while spigot does most of the things for you

[upper hazel]

hey how get entity in world in another server?

[eternal oxide]

awt.Color and bukkit.Color are not interchangeable, You must use the correct one for your application.

[upper hazel]

multi-server plugin

[placid moss]

spigot is better if you are just starting but minestom can be used if you need a specialized server

[vivid skiff]

Is what im doing, but it isn't working

[silent steeple]

just translate alternate color codes

[placid moss]

send some code

[vivid skiff]

        CraftPlayer craftPlayer = (CraftPlayer) player;
        CraftPlayer craftViewer = (CraftPlayer) viewer;

        net.minecraft.server.v1_8_R3.ItemStack nmsItemStack = CraftItemStack.asNMSCopy(helmet);
        PacketPlayOutEntityEquipment equipmentPacket = new PacketPlayOutEntityEquipment(craftPlayer.getEntityId(), 3, nmsItemStack);

        craftViewer.getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(equipmentPacket);
    }```

[wet breach]

If no one has helped you by the time i get home i will take a look at it. For as much time you have spent here you should look into getting verified and joining the blue name army

!verify

[undone axle]

Usage: !verify <forums username>

[grizzled oasis]

i just don't feel like to verify lol

but i know i can verify myself

[eternal night]

[eternal oxide]

This code will spawn a fireball somewhere near world spawn and always fly in teh same direction

[silent steeple]

ye

[timid hedge]

I am getting a error tho

[silent steeple]

??

what is it

[grizzled oasis]

yes, but i need to shot it directly to the ground, for an enchant

[placid moss]

isn't slot 4 helment for 1.8?

or am i tripping

[eternal oxide]

then set teh pitch of the Location

[umbral ridge]

One too much: ")" ?

[eternal oxide]

to -90

[grizzled oasis]

yaw? to 0?

[vivid skiff]

It's 3, but that isn't the problem, why it isn't working

[eternal oxide]

yaw doesn;t matter

[smoky anchor]

fireballs work with motion, that ignores pitch and yaw

[eternal oxide]

is default 0

[timid hedge]

If i remove 1 ")" it says ',' or ')' expected

[grizzled oasis]

let me test it

[silent steeple]

show the whole line...

[placid moss]

this was the packet for 1.8

[timid hedge]

sendVagtkillEmbed(victim, deathMessage, ":skull:**__Vagt kill__**:skull:", deathMessage, victim, true, ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&a");

[grizzled oasis]

seems to not work

[eternal oxide]

then apply a velocity

[silent steeple]

sendVagtkillEmbed(victim, deathMessage, ":skull:**__Vagt kill__**:skull:", deathMessage, victim, true, ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&a"));

[eternal oxide]

setVelocity(new Vector(0,-1,0))

[wet breach]

You need to set the velocity with the appropriate vector

[eternal oxide]

err -1

[smoky anchor]

-1
to move down

[wet breach]

Elgarl knows listen to them lol

[worthy moat]

ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes is deprecated

[upper hazel]

I have a question is bungee api capable of requesting to get all the entities of a certain world in a certain server

[worthy moat]

what is the new thing?

[umbral ridge]

What 😂

[wet breach]

No

[upper hazel]

demm

[wet breach]

Not unless you have a plugin on both to feed such info using plugin message channel

[grizzled oasis]

something to ask is a vanilla bug or the fireball goes in a curve?

[eternal oxide]

depends on its velocity

[smoky anchor]

send the whole sendVagtkillEmbed pls ?
too many ppl here now, don't know who to respond to xd
Threads would be better

[grizzled oasis]

i just set to what you said and it does a curve

[worthy moat]

yeah

[upper hazel]

say it easier)

[wet breach]

At least it it progress from before

[umbral ridge]

I didn't know it was ever deprecated, what version are you in?

[eternal oxide]

it can;t "curve" with a -1 y vector

[grizzled oasis]

yes

[worthy moat]

1.20.1

[eternal oxide]

so long as x and z are zero

[umbral ridge]

Impossible I'm using 1.20.1 too 🤓

[grizzled oasis]

seems strange they arent

[smoky anchor]

if it is the big fireball, then it can't curve at all, they ignore gravity
||iirc||

[upper hazel]

this not good version

best this 1.16.5

[grizzled oasis]

it is not

[eternal oxide]

?paste the method

[undone axle]

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

[grizzled oasis]

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

[eternal oxide]

you can remove setting the pitch as you are using velocity, but the rest of the code looks fine

[umbral ridge]

String coloredString = org.bukkit.ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&a123");```
that is deprecated?

[silent steeple]

Color color is wrong

it should just be String

[eternal night]

on paper yes.

[silent steeple]

if ur trying to send the ChatColor thing

[worthy moat]

your using spigot or paper?

[worthy moat]

yes

whats the new one?

[umbral ridge]

Oh I'm on spigot

[smoky anchor]

don't pass the bukkit color to the method

xd

[grizzled oasis]

its kinda strange but continuos to do it, probably is the dropY

[eternal night]

^ yea best to head to paper discord for those questions

[worthy moat]

Love those vids

[umbral ridge]

XD

[eternal oxide]

change to the large fireball class and see if thats the same

[quiet ice]

Use MiniMessage on paper instead @umbral ridge

Adventure should have a serializer there

[grizzled oasis]

yes nothing probably velocity, with the dropY?

[umbral ridge]

that's for @worthy moat

[quiet ice]

Ah didn't scroll far enough. Sorry!

[worthy moat]

https://docs.advntr.dev/text.htmlhttps://docs.advntr.dev/text.html

This looks nice

[eternal oxide]

Velocity is fine. from teh code you have posted it shoudl be impossible to have any kind of arc as teh vector is pointing straight down

[vivid skiff]

Somehow it works with 3 to, and i found out that i used the wrong player in the viewer option

[smoky anchor]

What color does the embed builder method take ?

[eternal oxide]

arc only happens when its fired horizontally (effect of gravity and drag)

[grizzled oasis]

i can't even record it because lunar is not recognized

[grizzled oasis]

when i first made it was fire horizontally and even now it does

[eternal oxide]

use the spawn method which accepts a consumer, so you can alter the fireball before it spawns

[smoky anchor]

Ok so:
get the bukkit colors rgb, there is a method for it somewhere
create new awt.Color from that rgb and pass that
I think that is what you're trying to do

[grizzled oasis]

?

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/RegionAccessor.html#spawn(org.bukkit.Location,java.lang.Class,org.bukkit.util.Consumer)

[grizzled oasis]

same

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

[eternal oxide]

Fireball fireball = commandSender.getWorld().spawn(particle, Fireball.class, ball -> {
        ball.setShooter(commandSender);
        ball.setDirection(new Vector(0,-1,0));
        ball.setIsIncendiary(false); } );```

[grizzled oasis]

nothing changed again

[eternal oxide]

sounds impossible

[smoky anchor]

are you doing anything else to the fireball, any other events that could interfere ?

[grizzled oasis]

no other than the location nothing else

[eternal oxide]

the location?

[smoky anchor]

wait
on fireball

[eternal oxide]

ah

yes set direction not velocity

[grizzled oasis]

its fast as fuck

[smoky anchor]

who tf
I bet this came out of Mojank's decision but still...

[eternal oxide]

I'll fix code above

reduce the -1

[grizzled oasis]

but its heading to the ground not like \ but like |

[eternal oxide]

so -0.5

[smoky anchor]

so change the vector a bit

[eternal oxide]

add a TINY amount to x and z of vector to alter it's angle

[grizzled oasis]

trying changing it but same result

[vivid skiff]

Is possible to stop the server from sending some packets to online players?

[eternal oxide]

new Vector(0.01, -0.5, 0)

[young knoll]

Cancel them with protocollib

[vivid skiff]

Without protocolib? Using nms

[young knoll]

Well you can make your own netty injector technically

[grizzled oasis]

same heading | from where it spawns

[eternal oxide]

you are changing the vector in setDirection ?

[smoky anchor]

spigot (bukkit) Color has asRGB()
awt color is just new Color(rgb)

[grizzled oasis]

yes?

[eternal oxide]

bigger offset then

(0.5, -0.5, 0)

thats definitely not straight down

[grizzled oasis]

Works

[icy beacon]

Configurate (configurate-gson) adds signed files (.RSA, .SF, etc) to my jar, and I have to remove them every time manually, is there a way to make it not add those files?

[grizzled oasis]

heading like this \

[eternal oxide]

if you want it always the same direction thats fine

[grizzled oasis]

now something to ask? to make at impact detect them and give the block to the players inventory?

[eternal oxide]

if you want it random then use + or - 0.5 in x and z

[grizzled oasis]

ok thanks and how can i do that with a random in a list?

[eternal oxide]

random in a list?

[sullen marlin]

Maven shade has an exclude option

Also interesting font

[smoky anchor]

can you send the whole class with the method and then the whole class where you want to call the method ?

im alergic to nickel @young knoll

[smoky anchor]

I thought you were doing something with spigot colors as well

[onyx fjord]

i know hex

its ez

[umbral ridge]

Is there a way to shorten this?

[onyx fjord]

use a main command and add subcommands to it

otherwise no

[umbral ridge]

That sucks

[onyx fjord]

you can make some wrapper for it but pointless

[quaint mantle]

how do i register 2 classes to the same command but different args so like /gen list is 1 class and /gen give is another class but they are the same command

[umbral ridge]

Is it the same for events?

I can't shorten this?

[onyx fjord]

yes

[onyx fjord]

you COULD use reflection but i dont recommend that

to register a whole package

[smoky anchor]

probably should have explained a bit more lol
replace the RRGGBB with the HEX the site gives you
so it becomes 0x2E8B57

[twilit creek]

Hey, small question. Anyone knows:

((CraftPlayer) p).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(packet);

in 1.20.1?

[umbral ridge]

Then it's best to put it in a method in main JavaPlugin class to keep onEnable() shorter? I guess

[quaint mantle]

how do i register 2 classes to the same command but different args so like /gen list is 1 class and /gen give is another class but they are the same command

[timid hedge]

Ahh, thank you so much

[onyx fjord]

((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().connection

[smoky anchor]

it's been two minutes, wait a bit before asking again

[eternal oxide]

you only register /gen. the rest are args

[silent steeple]

i think he means like when registering it in the onEnable

[twilit creek]

i think i have it. It is:

((CraftPlayer)player).getHandle().c.a(packet);

[eternal oxide]

same answer

you only register the root command gen

[silent steeple]

yeah but if he has another class with different args

[eternal oxide]

?nms

[undone axle]

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

[eternal oxide]

args do not matter, you ONLY register the command

[silent steeple]

ok in his situation lets say he has 2 classes, ListGenerator and GiveGenerator, and they both implement CommandExecutor

[onyx fjord]

use mappings

[silent steeple]

how do you register it then

[smoky anchor]

that is up to them how they want to implement the args
if they want to use different classes for them then they can

[eternal oxide]

they woudl be two completely different commands

[quaint mantle]

yeah i have something like this

[eternal oxide]

you only register teh BASE command, args are upto you how you want to handle them

be it a switch or an if/else

[twilit creek]

yes

[eternal oxide]

follow the link, you are not using mojang mappings

[grizzled oasis]

sorry for the ping but how can i do it without list like some java function?

[smoky anchor]

what list ?
I don't recall you having any list

[eternal oxide]

learn to use Random and pick an int 0 to 1

[grizzled oasis]

random can pick even negatives number?

[young knoll]

It can if you subtract

[grizzled oasis]

so how?

like new Random(0,1) - 0.5?

[eternal oxide]

random == true ? 0.5: -0.5

[smoky anchor]

random.nextDouble(upperBound) - number

[eternal oxide]

using random as a boolean

so you keep the same angle

it will probably look odd if you use an actual variable value between -0.5 and +0.5

[smoky anchor]

I mean.. meteors fall from all kinds of angles, not only 45°
probably.. never seen one

[eternal oxide]

they do, but they are also in a swarm all flying the same direction and angle

[grizzled oasis]

probably shouldn't be better to take a random position near the player to aim the ground?

[eternal oxide]

it all depends what exactly you are trying to do

[grizzled oasis]

im trying to make a mining enchant when the fireball hits the ground that zone will be mined

[eternal oxide]

so you are targeting a specific place when you do this?

[grizzled oasis]

not a specific place

just randomly so the player can have the impression of a meteor shower

[eternal oxide]

if you are launching multiple at the same time then use the same angle for each one

[grizzled oasis]

i just done the thing i asked, one last thing there's an event when a fireball gets to the ground?

[eternal oxide]

ProjectileHitEvent

[grizzled oasis]

ok thanks

[smoky anchor]

wouldn't that be
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityExplodeEvent.html
?

[eternal oxide]

fireball is a projectile, bnut either coudl work

if she wants all teh blocks when it explodes

then explode

if she only wants when it hits, then Hit

[tender shard]

you got the almost same line 7 times

Color color = getCorrectColor(victim);
sendEmbed(victim, deathMessage, ..., color);

private Color getCorrectColor(Victim victim) {
  // ...
}

[warm mica]

😔 🚬

You shoulf try to avoid all these if else statements

[hazy parrot]

alex literally gave you code

[tender shard]

you seem to lack basic knowledge about OOP

hence ?learnjava

?

this is 100% the same code, 7 times! o0

it should return the correct color for whichever highest rank victim has

i thought that was obvious

if you ever see the same line twice, you're probably doing something very bad

[hazy parrot]

you have redundant argument in method

you never use Player player

and also its always "victim" when you call that method

Same as alex, i would highly suggest you to learn fundamentals first

[chrome beacon]

We've been telling them that for weeks now

[slate mortar]

God i love just reading this channel

[river oracle]

so its not just me

lol

[undone axle]

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

[drowsy helm]

It’s the parameter

You have a method inside a method

[paper cosmos]

What setLocalizedName is used for?

in itemstack meta

[drowsy helm]

Pretty sure it’s for language translations

[umbral ridge]

If PermissionsEx still work, should I consider using LuckPerms or any other permissions plugin? If so, why

[glad prawn]

PermissionsEX is outdated, thats all.

[umbral ridge]

Yeah.. But it still works yeah? No other issues?

So it's still ok to use it in 1.20.1?

[chrome beacon]

LuckPerms is great

Is has good API, web interface and is still maintained

[eternal oxide]

use Vault

then you are not locked into one permission plugin

[chrome beacon]

^ for code yeah

[umbral ridge]

I'm using it yeah I was just thinking if I should switch to LuckPerms, to put it on the server

It seems rather complicated though, I'm used to permissionsEx, i've been using it like.. always

[eternal oxide]

use whatever backend permission plugin you prefer

[umbral ridge]

Is there much difference in config files?

[eternal oxide]

quite a bit

[chrome beacon]

You don't really touch the config in LuckPerms

You do everything via command or web interface

[drowsy helm]

I used to be a huge pex fan but after learning LP Id never look back. LP Has way more features and is 100x easier to use

[umbral ridge]

I see, thanks

[umbral ridge]

Yeah, I heard luckPerms does have nametags implemented?

[drowsy helm]

Other than the api, lp wins everywhere

[umbral ridge]

Or did I read wrong

[drowsy helm]

Nametags?

As in overhead

[umbral ridge]

player nametags

yeah

[eternal oxide]

it shouldn't. Not the job of a permission plugin

[drowsy helm]

Nah you can use NametagEdit though

Pretty sure it’s plug n play

[umbral ridge]

Ok thanks

[remote swallow]

because you only use 1 else if

a) that should be a method b) use else if, if youa rent gonna make a method

only the top if will only send 1 of them

the rest are all seperate ifs so dont care what the result of prior is

yeah

but you should learn java and make it a method

Im using protocollib

[young knoll]

I think they might have an api for it

EntityUtilties.getInstance().getEntityFromID

[icy beacon]

i'm trying to make a potion with effects (to display in a gui) and this code seems to not add the effects successfully:

val allEffects = ItemStack(Material.POTION)
val potionMeta = allEffects.itemMeta as PotionMeta

for (effect in kit.getPotionEffects()) {
      println(effect)
      potionMeta.addCustomEffect(effect, true)
}

println(potionMeta.customEffects)
allEffects.itemMeta = potionMeta

console output:

[19:34:38 INFO]: JUMP:(107374182t-x1)
[19:34:38 INFO]: [JUMP:(107374182t-x1)]

so it seems like the effects were indeed added but they are not on the item

[tender shard]

you know nothing about java's syntax but you refuse to check out ?learnjava, well then I cannot help you

[worldly ingot]

Is allEffects.itemMeta = potionMeta equivalent to calling setItemMeta()? Or is it just setting the field?

Kotlin syntax annoys me lol

[tender shard]

that depends on whether the field is visible lmao

[worldly ingot]

Anyways, the reason it's not working is because you're adding a custom effect. You'll probably want to add a base effect

[tender shard]

if the field is accessible, then it sets the field. i not, it calls setItemMeta

[worldly ingot]

idk how it knows which one is the setter

[icy beacon]

Yes

[tender shard]

it tries out set<FieldName>

it basically just guesses which is the correct setter

[icy beacon]

but what if i want to add multiple effects?

[worldly ingot]

You can do that with custom effects but you just need at least one base effect

[worldly ingot]

set

[remote swallow]

its potion data iirc

[worldly ingot]

Correct

[icy beacon]

it only takes PotionEffectType though

what if i want to specify the duration & amplifier?

[worldly ingot]

setBasePotionData()

[remote swallow]

use potion data

[worldly ingot]

afaik it only shows the available effects if there's a base

[icy beacon]

it appears there's no potiondata in 1.8?

[worldly ingot]

Oh dear. PotionMeta has changed a lot between 1.8 and 1.20

I don't even remember how to go about it

[remote swallow]

you do it by updatin

[icy beacon]

~~ i'm torturing myself but i don't have the balls to say that i am voluntarily coding this particular plugin for 1.8 so i make excuses like "commissions"~~

[remote swallow]

rage quit the comission

[worldly ingot]

Right, there's a Potion class

It's a pseudo-MaterialData (kinda sorta not really)

[icy beacon]

it doesn't seem that useful 😦 i cannot specify the duration/amplifier, and i am limited to PotionType

[flint coyote]

Not sure if 50% would be enough solatium

[icy beacon]

haha

fine by me

[remote swallow]

level displays the duration and amp

you set the effect and set its level

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, level 2 is amplified, extended is duration

Though there are methods for these

new Potion(PotionType.SPEED, 2).extend().apply(itemStack);
ItemMeta itemMeta = itemStack.getItemMeta();
itemMeta.addCustomEffect(...);
itemStack.setItemMeta(itemMeta);```

I think that should work

But this is 1.8, I honestly don't fucking know lol

Better yet you can create an ItemStack directly from that if you want

ItemStack itemStack = new Potion(PotionType.SPEED, 2).extend().toItemStack(1);
ItemMeta itemMeta = itemStack.getItemMeta();
itemMeta.addCustomEffect(...);
itemStack.setItemMeta(itemMeta);```

[icy beacon]

indeed level 2 is amplified, but what if I want level 100 with duration 7 hours? adding a PotionEffect with PotionMeta#addCustomEffect allows to do that, but creating a Potion does not
but if I understand correctly, the first effect must be a legal base effect and everything else is up to my imagination and can be added with PotionMeta?

[worldly ingot]

Right

[icy beacon]

well that's painful

lol

maybe there's a way to hide the duration of the potion effects?

or even better, is there a way to find the translation keys for those effects and use them for lore?

[wraith bane]

I created an api and integrated it into my plugin by adding:

<dependency>
            <groupId>me.kyren223</groupId>
            <artifactId>Kapi</artifactId>
            <version>1.1</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

My issue is when I put in the server the jar file I get an error of some class files fro the kapi api missing
What settings do I change so the .jar api will be included in the plugin jar (so I don't have to add another jar as dependency)

[remote swallow]

you need to shade it

remove the scope provided

[wraith bane]

Oh alright thanks, I added that scope tag because it didn't work (but accidentally copied the original lol)

[remote swallow]

the provided scope is only for something that is either provided by something another maven dep or a server software

[icy beacon]

seems like there is none, i'll just use english fuck it

[gleaming grove]

Both regenerateChunk and refreshChunk are Deprecated so what is correct way to regenerate chunk?

[worldly ingot]

You kind of can't

[gleaming grove]

just overrite chunk data with custom world generator?

[worldly ingot]

refreshChunk() is more for client synchronization but it's iffy, so not relevant here. But the reason it's deprecated is because the world generation has changed so much that it's in a state where you can't really reliably regenerate a chunk and expect it to match 1:1 to what it was before

You might get structures or cave carvers in your chunk that weren't there before

You can use it. It will work. It just cannot guarantee 1:1 from world gen

Terrain will probably be mostly fine

[gleaming grove]

I just want to play and learn custom world generation so I need some method to
regenerate all chunks in selected region

[worldly ingot]

Oh, then yeah that's probably fine

You can ignore the deprecation warning there then

[gleaming grove]

ok

[worldly ingot]

Don't worry about refreshChunk() though. That's probably not what you want

[brisk estuary]

hey, does anybody know how to remove the music disc - 5 line?

I tried with hide attributes but it doesn't seem to work

[gleaming grove]

As I remeber it's client side

[brisk estuary]

oh

How can i overwrite an already sent packet using protocollib?

[glacial sphinx]

Is there a way to send a player to a minecraft server (not bungee and no proxy) only by the IP and Port of the server?

[eternal oxide]

not without a proxy

if you are on a server behind a proxy and you want to send to an external IP it's possible

you'd need to write a bungee plugin to register a server

Im a little confused, for the function void setInterpolationDuration(int duration) it says "Sets the interpolation duration of this display." but what does this mean? is just the duration the Display will be seen by players or?

[young knoll]

How long it will take for the display entity to interpolate from its current transformation to the new one

[icy bone]

Ohh like that, but i assume if i have no transformation i do not have to set this function?

[young knoll]

correct

[icy bone]

Ah thanks for the information!

[quaint tapir]

I just pulled from github and my intelliJ isn't working correctly
none of my spigot shit works and it said there were problems with an SDK but idk what to do, any help would be great

[chrome beacon]

Open project settings and set your SDK

[tender shard]

the actual error message would be very helpful

[chrome beacon]

That too

[opaque scarab]

If I’m creating a player NPC and I want it to react when I click it, should I create an NPC class and check for a custom event inside the class? Does this seem like a good structure?

[atomic swift]

hmmm org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidPluginException: Unsupported API version 1.2

[tender shard]

api-version: "1.20"

[chrome beacon]

Surround with ""

[atomic swift]

api-version: 1.20

[chrome beacon]

.

[tender shard]

"1.20"

[atomic swift]

its just like that

[tender shard]

use "1.20" and not 1.20

[young knoll]

Alternative option

Update spigot

:p

[chrome beacon]

oh did they fix that?

[opaque scarab]

Put “ around it in the yml

[eternal night]

by eradicating the concept of a float out of existance

[young knoll]

Only for plugin.yml

Which doesn't have any floats anyway

[quaint tapir]

there is no error message
basically my intelliJ doesn't recognise any spigot things but it still compiles

[eternal night]

could have just enforced people properly writing yaml 😭

[quaint tapir]

I already set the SDKs but the problem remains

[tender shard]

if it still compiles, do File -> Invalidate caches

[young knoll]

Yes but we got tired of them coming here

:p

[eternal night]

?quoteyaml

[atomic swift]

the 1.20 update broke a lot of stuff

[tender shard]

from my experience, it broke nothing

getting a ton of java.lang.NullPointerException

lmao

[atomic swift]

wheras in 1.19 i got none

[chrome beacon]

I've had no issues either

[atomic swift]

and i havent change any code

[icy bone]

Is there a way to make Armorstand not collid with the grond? I have an armor stand that is moving with the player to create like a block following the player. But now the block is floating 1.5 blocks above ground because im using an armorstand to make the block move smooth. But now the armor stand cant drop lower than the ground.

If tried to use armorStand.setCollidable(false); but that didnt work

[steep plaza]

guys i created a gui but i want the items that go into it when i close it are saved

[tender shard]

and what is the issue?

[icy bone]

To me or Lilpatch?

[steep plaza]

because for each item added it adds a point

[tender shard]

just use a BlockDisplay instead

they don't have any collisions

and they don't tick, so less lag

[icy bone]

I am using BlockDisplay but im also using an armorstand to cleanly move the blockdisplay around

Or is it possible to move around blockdisplay with #.setVector()?

[icy bone]

What do you mean btw with "they dont tick" does that mean it won't sync with minecraft ticks so less actions?

[chrome beacon]

They do a lot less calculations every tick

Meaning they cause less lag

[alpine urchin]

hi

[icy bone]

Ahh like that, Yeah im already using those but I want to move the BlockDisplay around very smoothly and thats where i am using armorstands for. Or is using armorstands over complicated and can I set the velocity of BlockDisplay instead? (keep in mind I dont want to use #.teleport() because it will make it look very laggy)

[steep plaza]

anyone can help me

[chrome beacon]

Display entities can lerp

Which gives them smooth movement

[chrome beacon]

What's the issue

[icy bone]

Do they also have #.setVelocity()?

[steep plaza]

because for each item added it adds a point

[chrome beacon]

?

That doesn't explain anything

[chrome beacon]

They do, I have no idea if it works though

[icy bone]

I see it has teh function, ill just try it now and see if it happens

[icy bone]

Sadly the DisplayBlock doesnt move with #.setVelocity(). Do you have any other idea how to move it smoothly?

[flint coyote]

unless it throws a MethodNotSupportedException I'd even consider this a bug. Should be at least mentioned in the docs

[icy bone]

Does not throw an Exception

Is there no way to stop a collision on an armorstand?

[young knoll]

You can move it smoothly via transformations and interpolation

[icy bone]

But isnt that only to change the look of the block or can you also use this to move it to the players location?

[young knoll]

You can move it with the translation option

But I think it can only go so far

[icy bone]

I just want it to constantly stay on the player, like the player is the block

So it smoothly follows the player and keeps going to the players feet (Trying to change a player into a block)

[young knoll]

Stack it on the player

And then use the translation to put it at their feet

[icy bone]

What do you mean with Stack it on the player?

Right now im thinking about setting displayblocks Translation to players location

Do you also mean that?

Or is there a way to make it stick on the player like #.addPassenger()?

[young knoll]

Yes

add it as a passenger

[icy bone]

And i see that translation requires some advanced math, do you know how to just put it at the feet?

[young knoll]

It's just a vector

You probably need around 0, -2, 0

[icy bone]

Wait a vector? I see someone do this transformation.getLeftRotation() .set(new AxisAngle4f(angle, (float) axis.getX(), (float) axis.getY(), (float) axis.getZ()));

[eternal oxide]

This is Spigot so it will be a Bukkit Vector

[young knoll]

Rotation is not translation

[night badge]

hey, im trying to send a messagfe to the player that allows them to click on it and be refferred to a link. I know this is doable in vanilla, so i assumed there would be a way of doing it with a plugin, and ive been trying around quite a bit with the Components api, and also tried to find some articles about it but for example https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/the-chat-component-api/ provides me with deprecated classes or just code that isnt functional anymore because some classes have become abstract

[icy bone]

Wait could you help me out with a small code example on changing its Translation()? i already got the transformation with entity.gettranslation() but now im not sure what to do to change it?

I know, im sorry for asking raw code instead of figuring out but im a little lost with this one

[young knoll]

Transformation transform = entity.getTransformation()
transform.setTranslation(new Vector(0, -2, 0))
entity.setTransformation(transform)

Somethin like that

[icy bone]

Yea there is no settranslation

[eternal oxide]

its probably mutable

[icy bone]

I can do transform.getTranslation().set()

Let me try that

It requires a Vector3fc

        transformation.getTranslation().set(new Vector3f(0, -2, 0));```
I tried this but doesn't move it down sadly

[eternal oxide]

probably due to quaterions. Its easier to use joml vec3f than bukkits Vector

[icy bone]

Oh wait

forgot something

forgot to set it

Ah yes, this works perfectly! Thank you so much guys

Now i dont need to keep running an Task that will keep it moving every tick and everthing

@smoky anchor With your help and @eternal oxide and @young knoll , I manage to make a block move very smoothly beneat the player and makes it looks like the player is changed into a block. Thank you so much guys!

[solid cargo]

Is there any other note block lib other than noteblockapi? I guess not?

[chrome beacon]

What's wrong with NoteBlockAPI?

[solid cargo]

Nothing, just asking

[sullen canyon]

doesn't it work just like you want if you simply send them the link in the chat

[night badge]

i managed to get it working, but that wouldnt work because i want a message which refers to a url and not a url in the chat

[ocean hollow]

how can i make an event. If a row was added to the mysql table, then execute the method.

[eternal oxide]

no simple way, best to poll the db

I think it will load the server, if done through the scheduler and constantly check

guys

i need help

[upper hazel]

I did not quite understand. Ie it turns out that when my plugin creates plaseholders using the placeholder api, then it is automatically sent to the wiki?

[remote swallow]

?ask

[undone axle]

If you have a question, please just ask it. Don't look for staff or topic experts. Don't ask to ask or ask if people are awake or available. Just ask the question to the channel straight out, and wait patiently for a reply. Make sure you use the right channel regarding the topic of your question. Create a thread in case the channel is already in use!

[remote swallow]

no, you have to pr it to them

[upper hazel]

ehh?

[quaint mantle]

basically, i created a plugin and i called the commands in the file and i also called it in the plugin.yml file, but when i try it in game it doesnt work

[quaint mantle]

so im confused as to why the commands dont work

[remote swallow]

show the code

[remote swallow]

you have to add the placeholders

[upper hazel]

but it’s not clear to me if everything goes to the wiki why the plugin itself is needed in the assembly

[remote swallow]

it doesnt go to the wiki

[quaint mantle]

alright do i send the plugin.yml file too

[remote swallow]

the wiki has 0 idea your plugin even exists

[remote swallow]

main class, command class and plugin.yml

and any errors

[upper hazel]

i'm studying placeholder api and i don't understand how contact with another is created from my plugin

[quaint mantle]

im doing it all in the main class

i didnt make multiple classes

[upper hazel]

lol

[quaint mantle]

also no errors

[remote swallow]

smh

main class and plugin.yml then

[quaint mantle]

what

[quaint mantle]

ok

i cant send any message it just says error try again later and a file pops up

[remote swallow]

no

smh is shake my head

[quaint mantle]

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

[remote swallow]

[remote swallow]

you dont tell the plugint o do commands

call getCommand("name").setExecutor(this)

[dawn ledge]

Hi,
I'm trying to modify a display block entity. but I don't know how to do it have you some example ?

[chrome beacon]

Modify what and when

[quaint mantle]

so

[quaint mantle]

i do getCommand("commandname").setExecutor(this) ?

[remote swallow]

if your command is called commandname yes

[quaint mantle]

can you give me an example im following a youtube tutorial

it doesnt show this

its 10 years old

[chrome beacon]

Shouldn't have changed

[remote swallow]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-plugin-development/

[quaint mantle]

ok but i still need an example

[remote swallow]

literally that code

[quaint mantle]

so i just call it?

nothing else?

[remote swallow]

getCommand("test").setExecutor(this)

[quaint mantle]

ok

got it

[tender shard]

setting the executor to "this" is pointless

it's by default set to the plugin's instance

[upper hazel]

hey if my placeholder not load in wiki so for what need this page? https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Placeholders

[dawn ledge]

I'm trying to modify a display block entity to display a half of a block I spawn it with that : spawnEntity(pointer, EntityType.BLOCK_DISPLAY);
but it just spawn the entity and I don't know how to set the block to be displayed

[remote swallow]

they dont auto add to the wiki

nothing is automatically added there, you have to add it

[chrome beacon]

Use the spawn method that takes a consumer and modify the entity in it

[upper hazel]

Does that mean he has to be there?

[remote swallow]

read

[dawn ledge]

can you share me an example ?😅

[quaint mantle]

@remote swallow like this?

public void onEnable() {
    getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    
    getCommand("timer").setExecutor(this);
    getCommand("ItemTimer").setExecutor(this);
    getCommand("createhole").setExecutor(this);
}

[remote swallow]

sure, but you should handle each command in a seperate class

[umbral ridge]

How do you check if player went in a 2D location or is in it? (Location pos1, Location pos2) on PlayerMoveEvent - I guess that's the only way to check quickly - figured it out

[chrome beacon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/RegionAccessor.html#spawn(org.bukkit.Location,java.lang.Class,org.bukkit.util.Consumer)

world.spawn(loc, BlockDisplay.class, (blockDisplay) -> { // do stuff });

[quaint mantle]

ok ill check the documentation later

so this will make my commands run right

lets test it

[tender shard]

i'd use a boundingbox

oh 2d location? well just some tiny math

[quaint mantle]

[tender shard]

you didnt register your command in plugin.yml

[remote swallow]

the commands arent in pluign.yml

[umbral ridge]

I did it the good old fashioned way comparing the x and y variables, but tell me how you'd do it

[ocean hollow]

why it gives me sql exeption? if i load it on another server db is connecting correctly

[quaint mantle]

name: VoidTimerPlugin
version: '${project.version}'
main: org.thehole.voidtimerplugin.VoidTimerPlugin
api-version: '1.20'
commands:
timer:
description: abc123
usage: /timer {seconds}

ItemTimer:
description: nbc123
usage: /itemtimer [material] [seconds]

createhole:
description: abc123
usage: /createhole

i did

[tender shard]

yeah basically the same, but I'd create a class for that, e.g.

public class Region2D {
  int minX, maxX, minZ, maxZ;

  public boolean isInside(int x, int z) { ... }
}

[remote swallow]

they should all be lowercase

in plugin.yml and ur code

[umbral ridge]

Ah... That's what im writing right now lol

[tender shard]

and then you can keep an instance of your region, and later just do ```java
if(myRegion.isInside(0,100)) { ...

[umbral ridge]

yea

[quaint mantle]

but i did ignorecase

[umbral ridge]

thanks!

[remote swallow]

the api doesnt care

[tender shard]

that makes no sense
