#1100941063058894868 is the place for code reviews. Remember to read the pinned message!

[serene sigil]

what does World#hasSkyLight do?

[pseudo hazel]

what does the docs say

[unkempt peak]

Well from the description I would assume it is the opposite of world#hasCeiling

[hybrid spoke]

that method exists?

[unkempt peak]

Yeah

[serene sigil]

So that means that its the overworld and end?

that return true

?

[unkempt peak]

I think so

[hybrid spoke]

lmao

i would assume skylight as overworld

since the end doesnt have skylight

rhetorically

[unkempt peak]

Is the end light level 0?

[tender shard]

there's also World#isUltraWarm() lol

[unkempt peak]

lol what

[unkempt peak]

That's funny

[tame wolf]

world#hasCeiling is true for nether

[unkempt peak]

They're asking about world#hasSkyLight

[quaint mantle]

//in mainclass

    private static Main plugin;

    public static ManaFriends getPlugin() {
        return plugin;
    }


//in other class
   private File file;
   file = new File(Main.getPlugin().getDataFolder());```

is this usage correct?
why wrong ?

is this for bungeecord

is it the same?

[unkempt peak]

It's for anything in java

[hybrid spoke]

why tf did they overcomplicate things lol

[quaint mantle]

alright but why my this is wrong ?

[hybrid spoke]

couldnt they just do #isNether #isEnd #isOverworld

[tame wolf]

Nope

If it has light in it by default

Aka

A sun

[chrome beacon]

Did you forget to set plugin

[hybrid spoke]

or you called it before the plugin was initalized

[chrome beacon]

also use di

[quaint mantle]

u mean to onenable ?

[chrome beacon]

?

in your on enable

[quaint mantle]

well i create config.class without implement events

[tender shard]

obviously getPlugin() returns null

[quaint mantle]

i try

but i do net write something to onEnable

btw

i understand now

[remote swallow]

you need to add plugin = this

[quaint mantle]

nvm

[quaint mantle]

to onEnable ?

[unkempt peak]

Dude your not setting the plugin to anything

[quaint mantle]

ah

[echo basalt]

blud has no clue what he's doing

[quaint mantle]

OKEY

[iron palm]

it seems network manager is no more on PlayerConnection in 1.20 so how would u guys get the players' NetworkManager?

Here are some links to get you started on learning Java:

• https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-java
• https://www.sololearn.com/learning/1068
• https://www.learnjavaonline.org/
• https://programmingbydoing.com/
• https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/index.html

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

[quaint mantle]

UNDERSTOOD

[echo basalt]

playerHandle.connection.connection.channel.pipeline().addBefore("packet_handler", PACKET_LISTENER_NAME, handler); apparently

[tender shard]

set the field as soon as possible

public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
  private static MyPlugin instance;

  {
    instance = this;
  }
}

[echo basalt]

wait that's for packet handlers

uhh

[iron palm]

but thats exactly what i need tho

[quaint mantle]

It is, but is not called the same

[echo basalt]

Then go for it

[quaint mantle]

Constructor

[remote swallow]

plugins dont have a constructor

[flint coyote]

technically they do

[remote swallow]

technically, but i wouldnt really recomened using them

[unkempt peak]

Does JavaPlugin actually allow you to use a constructor?

What's the point of that

[chrome beacon]

It doesn't

[flint coyote]

A constructor with no arguments could work

Since I would guess spigot calls that

[remote swallow]

im pretty sure its one with params

[lost matrix]

You can have a no-args constructor. Bukkit looks into your plugin.yml, loads the class and creates an instance
of your JavaPlugin. It uses reflections for this and needs a no-args constructor for this.

[quaint mantle]

This

[unkempt peak]

Huh thats interesting

[echo basalt]

no point in having a constructor though

[sterile breach]

Hello, arraylists are exposed to concurency problems when working desuss in async?

[echo basalt]

just use onLoad if you want that

[quaint mantle]

Java "creates" it if you don't have it anyway

[echo basalt]

concurrency you mean

[quaint mantle]

You can't have a class without constructor

[remote swallow]

using reflection to access it, just to be able to set 1 variable before onLoad is pretty pointless

[echo basalt]

There's no point in a concurrent list because order doesn't matter

[sterile breach]

yes

[echo basalt]

Just use a concurrent hash set

Or if you really need the order of which things are operating maybe some sort of synchronized list

[flint coyote]

why reflection? You can just create a no args constructor

[remote swallow]

im just going off what 7smile said

[quaint mantle]

No, the simple action of creating an instance of a class, call to the method constructor, if not defined specifically, java will "create" one

[remote swallow]

i knew there was a constructor for the plugin, just not how you could access it

[quaint mantle]

So the constructor exists always

You are just writing it and adding code to It

[sterile breach]

synchronized list is a special list like concurent hashmap?

[iron palm]

hows that in nms obfuscated? player.getHandle().c but there is nothing really like connection

[remote swallow]

?mappings

[undone axle]

Compare different mappings with this website: https://mappings.cephx.dev

[hazy parrot]

It's list where actions are wrapped with synchronized block

[quaint mantle]

Which leads to utility constructor, a constructor shouldn't contain class "utils", for example, defining the instance of the plugin. Instead, and as said, a method should be specifically created

[echo basalt]

Collections.synchronizedCollection(new ArrayList<>());

[sterile breach]

do you mean that all operations such as .add are performed in the main thread?

[echo basalt]

But I got no clue why you're trying to preserve order in a concurrent environment

Just use a concurrent hashset

[remote swallow]

EntityPlayer.c.h.m

[echo basalt]

Sets.newConcurrentHashSet / ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet

[iron palm]

but that does have private access

[vital ridge]

I added an external jar to my plugin and included it in maven. Do I also need to include the dependency in my plugin.yml?

Right now the plugin wont enable spitting out errors that it cannot find some classes.

Which are part of the dependency I'm using.

[sterile breach]

without the order a list 1; 2; 3 4 could become 2; 4; 3; 1 right?

[echo basalt]

That's in any concurrent environment

[unkempt peak]

Why did you add the external jar and use maven?

[echo basalt]

No clue what you're doing

But sounds like xy to me

?xy

[undone axle]

http://xyproblem.info/

[vital ridge]

How should I add my external jar then?

[sterile breach]

well, I'd need to keep order by performing the async task

[echo basalt]

If the entire task is performed async in a single separate thread then the order is maintained

[remote swallow]

either use reflection to access it or find the correct way to ac cess it

[echo basalt]

If you have multiple threads working together, the order doesn't matter because some threads can be quicker than others and your results would've never been in order anyways

[remote swallow]

mvn install it

then add the dep

if its a plugin add the depend: name to plugin.yml or shdae it

[serene sigil]

hey, how do you get the same effect as if you are standing under fire? i tried to setFireTicks but that only sets the visual fire... how do you also do the same damage?

[iron palm]

got it thanks

[sterile breach]

won't the list get mixed up?

[echo basalt]

In what context?

Just explain what you're trying to do

Unless you want me to explain multithreading from scratch

[sterile breach]

i need to retrieve a list of player info from the db and display it chronologically in a gui

[echo basalt]

So yeah you can fetch the entire list however you want and then sort it

[sterile breach]

well, if you don't mind, why not? It would help me understand better.

[echo basalt]

The list won't get mixed up because you're doing a single database call in a single separate thread

So it's fine

[serene sigil]

?

[echo basalt]

this will take a while

[ripe moat]

Can i ask questions about Intellij IDEA in here? (I use it to code plugins for my MC server, but i'm kinda new)

🙂

[serene sigil]

sure ig

[rotund ravine]

You can

[serene sigil]

can someone please help?

[ripe moat]

Alright. I now have a zip file which should be a JDK for 1.8 (https://builds.openlogic.com/downloadJDK/openlogic-openjdk/8u372-b07/openlogic-openjdk-8u372-b07-windows-x64.zip). How would i import/install that into Intellij? My guess is that it's from here: https://imgur.com/a/Dzjzef3, but how do i do it from there?

[vivid hill]

how can I check if a long is not set?

[wary harness]

to use lambok do I need to shade it in my plugin

[serene sigil]

???

[wary harness]

or is it avilable already in server jar?

[serene sigil]

what do you mean?

[quaint mantle]

No? It will work only at compile time.

[vivid hill]

nvm I am stupid

[serene sigil]

lol

[wary harness]

oh so it will create getter and setters for example on compile

[tender shard]

that looks like one very cursed screenshot

[tender shard]

no

[quaint mantle]

how do i save file ?
or i need ?
bcs my set methods not working

[tender shard]

https://projectlombok.org/setup/maven

it excplicitly mentions <scope>provided there

[vital ridge]

I have very little experience with maven, idk how to mvn install it

[ripe moat]

Thanks. But i need to do it before i start the project, right? This is how i got the screen on the image that i sent: https://imgur.com/a/OcigZGs.
And i want it to be a 1.8 plugin, but i can't select that without the JDK

[vital ridge]

Usually plugins have their maven dependency provided and I just copy paste it

[remote swallow]

is it another maven project

[vital ridge]

Yes.

[tender shard]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/manually-installing-jar-files-to-your-local-maven-repository/

[remote swallow]

run the install goal then

then just add the same maven info to ur other project

[echo basalt]

@sterile breach

[tender shard]

re you using intelliJ? then just double click on "install" in the maven tab of the other project

[ripe moat]

.

[tender shard]

you can also use JDK 20 for an outdated 1.8 plugin

you can also just create your own maven project without that mc dev plugin https://blog.jeff-media.com/how-to-create-your-first-minecraft-plugin-using-the-spigot-api-and-maven/

[quaint mantle]

how do i save file with bungeecord configuration ?

[ocean hollow]

if I assign metadata to the block, then if it is moved by a piston, will the information be saved?

Or how is it generally easier to understand whether a block is generated or placed by a player? Do a database or logic on MetaData or save all blocks in a List?

[lost matrix]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/tracking-blocks-that-were-placed-by-players.500216/

[serene sigil]

is it possible to make a fog/not so far see effect? my goal is to make players not be able to look very far, kind of like blindness, but a little farer

[chrome beacon]

Could try working with shaders and a resourcepack

[lost matrix]

In short: Save which block was placed by a player in the PDC of the chunk.
You need to keep track of event like piston moves yourself.

[serene sigil]

and something server-side?

[chrome beacon]

Then no

[lost matrix]

I guess you could do something with display entities

[serene sigil]

wdym?

[lost matrix]

Is a hard cut ok or does it need to be a gradient

[serene sigil]

i guess

its alright

[chrome beacon]

then just keep a sphere of display entities around the player

[serene sigil]

what are display entities?

[lost matrix]

I would just use a limited amount of maybe 9 scaled blocks or something.
Then place them in a circle configuration all facing the player.

[slim pier]

How can I make plugins work across multiple versions?? Please tell me how or how to do it

[chrome beacon]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/maven-multi-module-setup-for-supporting-different-nms-versions/

[ancient plank]

simple:

[serene sigil]

make it the latest version (if you dont use anything version specific)

[lost matrix]

Just use spigot. Old versions are almost always forward compatible

[slim pier]

thanks

[onyx fjord]

😴 tl;dr?

[sterile breach]

okay thanks, i understand

at the lowest level. Are threads managed by the processor?

[echo basalt]

uhh yea

[sterile breach]

and on a machine running Windows, for example. Each program is given a main thread and the possibility of creating others?

[echo basalt]

Somewhat

This is java and java runs a JVM

[sterile breach]

I'm talking about threads in general, not just java.

[lost matrix]

On the lowest level the threads are managed by the kernel.

[echo basalt]

I'll let smile do the talking

[shadow night]

How can I save all the data about an entity (location, nbt tags and other entity-specific stuff) without actually saving an entity instance?

[lost matrix]

I just wanted to throw that in, feel free explaining the rest

[shadow night]

Save into a list I mean

[sterile breach]

so the maximum number of threads depends on the processor? to give you an idea, an i5 processor can have up to how many threads?

[lost matrix]

You mean the same way minecraft saves the entity when a chunk is unloaded?

[shadow night]

Idk, I just need to save an entity, delete it and then later spawn the same entity with all the same data, nbt, location and stuff

[echo basalt]

There's something called virtual threads

[austere cove]

Anyone got any idea what causes this message?

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Sharing is only supported for boot loader classes because bootstrap classpath has been appended
(it happens when surefire starts running tests)

[wet breach]

the maximum number of threads is dependent on how much ram you have to support the stack allocations of the threads

[lost matrix]

In that case you need to use nms and store the entity in an NBT Container.

[onyx fjord]

can be ignored

[pseudo hazel]

also there are like a billion different i5

[shadow night]

a what

[austere cove]

which is false because modern OSes use virtual memory to not be hard dependant on ram

[onyx fjord]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54205486/how-to-avoid-sharing-is-only-supported-for-boot-loader-classes-because-bootstra

[wet breach]

if we assume 32mb for every thread then you could spawn 1000 threads using up 32GB of ram to allocate all of them

[echo basalt]

virtual memory is just physical memory stored elsewhere

[austere cove]

yea, not just in ram

thats my point

[lost matrix]

I think he meant hardware threads. No?

[sterile breach]

if I understand correctly:
let's imagine that I add a 1 +1 calculation to A.
then I also ask him for 1 + 2, unless I create another thread. While waiting for 1+1 to be finished, 1+2 will be put on hold in the ram?

[wet breach]

while this is true it really depends on the system, the only guarantee is how much ram you have to support the stack allocation

[echo basalt]

So you're asking if the "instruction queue" is in ram

[sterile breach]

yes

[austere cove]

either way it bugs me and I don't remember it happening before and idk what I changed to cause this.

[pseudo hazel]

probably yes since your program runs in ram as well

[echo basalt]

Might even be in the cpu cache

[lost matrix]

Each thread has its own memory section and interthread communication/synchronisation is very complicated.
You should try to tackle this on a higher level when working with java. Dont think about hardware threads or ram.

[sterile breach]

okay

thanks for the explanation

[lost matrix]

Most important thing you should take away:
Data is never thread safe. You need to create a system where
each thread accesses data one after another.

[remote swallow]

are our brains thread safe

[echo basalt]

no

[remote swallow]

when does our mutlithreading update drop

[echo basalt]

ptsd is like a memory leak

[pseudo hazel]

just connect your brain to the X hivemind in 2030

[remote swallow]

when is someone gonna make an implant that adds ads to our thoughts

[pseudo hazel]

thats already there

[remote swallow]

fuck

[pseudo hazel]

do you ever just wake up and be hungry?

[remote swallow]

everyday

[pseudo hazel]

yeah exactly

they got you already

[serene sigil]

how to set the render distance in spigot?

[lost matrix]

You can call setViewDistance() per world

nvm

[serene sigil]

whats the minimum?

[serene sigil]

oh

[lost matrix]

you need to use spigot.yml

[lost matrix]

1

[serene sigil]

1 chunk?

[lost matrix]

y

[remote swallow]

why should people be allowed to see

set it to 0

[serene sigil]

can you??

[serene sigil]

no, but i want to do it in the plugin

[remote swallow]

no

[serene sigil]

can you not do that?

[remote swallow]

or probably not

?tas

[undone axle]

https://tryitands.ee/

[lost matrix]

Hm you can probably tinker with the spigot settings in the onLoad

[serene sigil]

and is it possible to set the view distance of the client?

[shadow night]

Well, ig you can not send chunks that are further away than x, but I don't think the client accepts more chunks than set in settings

[sterile breach]

Hi, its possible to get an entity with a string?

exemple
String type = "cow";
Entity entity = new entoty(type); ?

[remote swallow]

you would have to value of the EntitiyType

[sterile breach]

how?

[remote swallow]

EntityType.valueOf(String)

[sterile breach]

ah yes thanks

[shadow night]

Is it in theory possible to transfer a string into executable code like eval() in js? Like, let's say I need an /eval command that could evaluate any code I pass into it to debug my plugin

[pseudo hazel]

I mean js did it

so yes

its possible in both theory and practise

[ripe moat]

My problem is that when i open the dropdown menu for "Minecraft Version", I can only select down to 1.12, but i need a 1.8 plugin (i don't know alot about this stuff, i'm probably just dumb)

[lost matrix]

Java is compiled. You would need to compile it before running it.
But i think what you want is hotswapping where you can edit code and see changes
live in the game. Intellij can be configured to do this.

[chrome beacon]

Then setup a project manually or change the version after project creation

[lost matrix]

?1.8

[undone axle]

https://howoldisminecraft188.today/

[chrome beacon]

also I hope you know basic Java before starting with your plugin

[ripe moat]

Yeah i know basic java

[shadow night]

am I maybe able to compile the code into bytecode and then execute it on the server?

[chrome beacon]

Yes you can do that

[lost matrix]

Myeah. Why tho?

[ripe moat]

Well there's some plugins that only works for 1.8 that i need, soo..

[shadow night]

just for debugging purposes. Like, testing some configs maybe, idk

[orchid trout]

change version in pom.xml

[ripe moat]

Oh okay, so i can just select version 1.12 or something, and then change it afterwards?

[chrome beacon]

yes

[ripe moat]

Okay, thank yoou

[lost matrix]

Like what? Kit pvp v17.3?

[lost matrix]

Here are all the versions you can pull currently
https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/org/spigotmc/spigot-api/

[ripe moat]

I don't remember, but i'm pretty sure that on some of the pages of the plugins that i have, it says that they only work for old versions, and besides the plugins, in newer versions of minecraft, there's the super annoying chat reporting thing

[chrome beacon]

super annoying chat reporting thing
it's not really annoying?

[quaint mantle]

how do i send message to console in bungeecord?
sout not working

[ripe moat]

Well i don't want players on the server to report someone, and then get them banned from multiplayer. That's why plugins like litebans exist

so kinda annoying

[remote swallow]

so just disable it

[ripe moat]

but anyways, i'll just change the version then

[remote swallow]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/✨-antipopup-no-chat-reports-and-popup-✨.103782/

[chrome beacon]

If they get banned they probably deserve it

[robust ginkgo]

How do I check if an item is a placeable block? I want to check if the player is holding something that can be placed (any blocks) or something that can't be placed (any non-block item).

[chrome beacon]

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

[robust ginkgo]

oh alright

[tender shard]

chat reporting is very annoying, because it causes people to constantly cry about it - and that's annoying.

oh chat reporting itself? that's a decent feature

glad it was added

[robust ginkgo]

How do I cast an ItemStack to a Material though?

[chrome beacon]

You don't

You call getType

[robust ginkgo]

oh

[chrome beacon]

It causes a block update

[buoyant viper]

^

[chrome beacon]

and since the seed is in an invalid position it will break

You can setType with a second argument false and listen to the physics event

This method should NOT be used to "hack" physics by placing blocks in impossible locations.

Do keep this warning in mind ^^

Should I use MySQL Workbench do set up databases for a minecraft server?

[chrome beacon]

Workbench doesn't setup database for you

if that's what you're asking

[inner mulch]

everyone says i should you mysql to setup my databases

but i dont know which program

[kind hatch]

You need mysql-server installed if you want to setup and access databases.

[chrome beacon]

^^

[inner mulch]

what is this

yes i got this

[chrome beacon]

I do recommend just using MariaDB

[kind hatch]

Then make sure it's up and running. Then you can have your plugin connect to it and add your data.

[chrome beacon]

It's fully compatible with MySQL queries and is what most people will be running anyways

[inner mulch]

ok, but this is the program you guys are talking about right?

[kind hatch]

No, the workbench is just a GUI tool that lets you access what is running with mysql-server.

It also kinda sucks tbh.

[tender shard]

mysql workbench is shit

[chrome beacon]

HediSQL >>>

[kind hatch]

https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/

[inner mulch]

this is what i installeed

[eternal night]

postgres

anyway, usually you'd use something like flyway

[robust ginkgo]

So how do I get the NBT tags from an itemstack?

[eternal night]

to do database migration for you

[chrome beacon]

Postgres is nice

[kind hatch]

You should be able to open a terminal and run mysql then. If the server is already running then it will drop you into the mysql command line.

[eternal night]

well which ones

[inner mulch]

idk what i should use, you are all talking about something else

[chrome beacon]

Why do you need nbt?

use pdc?

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[eternal night]

Generally, the compound tag has get methods or the likes

its just a fancy Map<String, NBTTag>

[kind hatch]

Are you wanting to just use MySQL or do you want a GUI to make changes a little easier?

[inner mulch]

idk anything about databases, i just want to set up a plugin and i need to save stuff, but i dont know anything abotu this

[latent wyvern]

Hi, I am looking for a plugin that logs bans and mutes in my discord server could someone give me some suggestions.

[robust ginkgo]

Can I use pdc to add custom model data? (not only using it for that though)

[kind hatch]

Depending on what you are storing, you may not actually need a database. Databases are typically reserved for plugins that need scalability. If your plugin doesn't actually need it, then you can get away with storing your data in flat files.

[inner mulch]

i need scalability, i want it so save from server to serer too, so i definetely need it

[chrome beacon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/ItemMeta.html#setCustomModelData(java.lang.Integer)
Why not use the API

[inner mulch]

but i dont know where to start

what to use

[tacit drift]

first two checks are redundant

[robust ginkgo]

oh that's part of the ItemMeta type

thought it was an ItemStack thing

how do i get player from my command args ? in bungeecord

[eternal night]

https://ci.md-5.net/job/BungeeCord/ws/api/target/apidocs/net/md_5/bungee/api/ProxyServer.html#getPlayer(java.lang.String)

?

[tacit drift]

get player name, check if it's online

etc.

[kind hatch]

That's going to depend on what kinda of data you need to store. Is it going to be structured or unstructured data?
If you need structured data, then any SQL language will be the way to go. (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL)
If you use unstructured data, then any NoSQL language will be what you use. (MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra)

[inner mulch]

structured

per player data

[silent steeple]

phpMyAdmin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

[kind hatch]

Then you'll probably be best off using MySQL or MariaDB. Plenty of people here know how to write MySQL queries and MariaDB is just MySQL with some extra safety and QOL features.

[inner mulch]

wait what about phpmyadmin?

what is stackz talking about

[kind hatch]

That's just a frontend for MySQL.

[chrome beacon]

💀

[kind hatch]

MySQL is backend/cli program.

If you want an easier way to modify data in mysql, then a GUI tool will be needed.

[hazy parrot]

That is kinda not the same lol

[kind hatch]

Otherwise, you have to use the command line to update your mysql database.

[tacit drift]

really nice program

PMA is breaking randomly if using that shit program that i forgot how it's called

i have found this video do you think it is worth it? he uses xampp?

[chrome beacon]

Follow the video I sent

[kind hatch]

Tbh, I don't really know what xampp is. My best guess would be that it is some sort of software stack like LAMP.

[inner mulch]

but it is 3 hours i cant take this

yes but i would like to learn it bit by bit

[hazy parrot]

Xampp is just easy way to install apache mysql and tomcat, like gui for all in one

[quaint mantle]

i am a MEAN enjoyer

[chrome beacon]

You don't have to watch it all at once

[inner mulch]

i want to use it and when a problem ocurrs i google again and again until perfection

[inner mulch]

bro what is all of this now?

[hazy parrot]

What

[inner mulch]

apache tomcat?

[hazy parrot]

Apache is webserver

And tomcat is

Idk

[quaint mantle]

tomcat is for java servlets

it hosts them

[kind hatch]

You don't need any of that though. You just need the mysql server.

[inner mulch]

ok so i should install mariadb right?

you said its better

[kind hatch]

You can. Download is found here. https://mariadb.org/download/

[quaint mantle]

what do u mean better

its just a db

[inner mulch]

i dont now anything about db

i jst want to have one

[quaint mantle]

have you ever interacted with a db

[inner mulch]

no

thats why im here

[quaint mantle]

just start with document based dbs

you will thank me in 10 years

[kind hatch]

He literally said he needs structured data.

[quaint mantle]

where

[inner mulch]

yes, but i want to have multiple server use the data

[quaint mantle]

you must be an idiot

[kind hatch]

Use your eyes and read. (Scroll up)

[inner mulch]

why so mad

[quaint mantle]

do you know what i mean by document based

[inner mulch]

yes yml

[quaint mantle]

LOLOLOL

🤦🏿‍♂️

im talking about nosql databses

[inner mulch]

i dont know what this is either

[hazy parrot]

?interactevent

[undone axle]

The PlayerInteractEvent may be called once per hand. If you only want code to be executed once, you can check the result of https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInteractEvent.html#getHand(), then decide functionality.

For example, only executing code if the main hand was used:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
    if (event.getHand() != EquipmentSlot.HAND) { // * if the hand used is NOT the main hand:
        return; // do not progress past this point  |
    }
    // provide functionality
}

[kind hatch]

Just ignore him. He's been bitchy for the last couple days. Hard to tell if he's trolling or just extremely pissed off at the world rn.

[quaint mantle]

ur an npc

[inner mulch]

sainte why are you so mad then?

[quaint mantle]

what have i said that makes me appear mad

[inner mulch]

you called me an idiot?

[quaint mantle]

so?

[inner mulch]

seems mad

[quaint mantle]

i am stating a fact and you say im "mad"

[hazy parrot]

Someone not knowing something and have intention to learn = idiot

[inner mulch]

i may be re tarded, but i started programming two weeks ago

[hazy parrot]

Seems right to me

[kind hatch]

Damn, I must be hella stupid then.

[hazy parrot]

Same tbf

[quaint mantle]

so learn then

dont ask stupid questions

[kind hatch]

How do you expect to learn if you don't ask questions?

[quaint mantle]

by reading

[hazy parrot]

His question is one of least stupid I encountered

[quaint mantle]

he thought document dbs was yml

🤣

[hazy parrot]

Oh what an idiot

Smh

[latent wyvern]

Hi, I am looking for a plugin that logs bans and mutes in my discord server could someone give me some suggestions.

[kind hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[silent steeple]

you can make one, it should be pretty simple

[kind hatch]

@inner mulch Once you have either MySQL or MariaDB installed, you just have to make sure it's running in the background.

Your plugin will interface with the db using command line queries.

You can also interact with it using the command line if you want. However GUI programs make it easier.

HediSQL looks pretty good. Haven't used it myself as I use the built in tools that IntelliJ provides.

phpMyAdmin requires you to set up a lot of stuff in order to use it.

[inner mulch]

there are built in tools for databases?

[kind hatch]

In the Ultimate Edition of IntelliJ

[inner mulch]

oh

[kind hatch]

You can get the Ultimate Edition for free if you have a student email.

[inner mulch]

sadly i do not have one

okay i will install the programs now

[quaint mantle]

can you not afford education?

[kind hatch]

You could also try Beekeeper Studio. https://www.beekeeperstudio.io

[storm granite]

    public static void placePoster(Location location, String type, BlockFace facing){
        ItemStack item = getCustomItem(type);
        ItemFrame itemFrame = (ItemFrame) world.spawnEntity(location, EntityType.GLOW_ITEM_FRAME);
        itemFrame.setFacingDirectionfacing.name();  //NOT SURE WHATT TO DO HERE
        itemFrame.setItem(item);
    }

    public static void placePosters(){
        placePoster(new Location(world,0,92,7),"Tablets",BlockFace.NORTH);
    }
}``` problem is on the marked line, thanks

i havbe no idea what method to sie tp set direction or whatever'

[tender shard]

what are you even trying to do?

[storm granite]

place an item frame, with an item in, facing a certain direction.

[quaint mantle]

why did you call .name

[storm granite]

not sure hang on

still red without it

[quaint mantle]

yeah

because it needs args

[tender shard]

do you know java?

[storm granite]

some

[quaint mantle]

evidently not enough

[tender shard]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/material/Directional.html#setFacingDirection(org.bukkit.block.BlockFace)

[storm granite]

problem isnt with it not compiling, i just dont know what method to call there

[tender shard]

setFacingDirection takes in a BlockFace

so provide a blockface

setFacingDirection(BlockFace.NORTH)

for example

[storm granite]

okay i think it working ty

is there a way to stop it POPPING every time its not on a block?

breaking*

[kind hatch]

Probably not anything reliable. ItemFrames will break if they don't have a supporting block. BlockPhysics will only go so far as any update that is caused to the itemframe will cause it to realize that it's not supported.

[chrome beacon]

ItemFrame is an entity so I believe it just checks the supporting block every few ticks

Could use nms to override the tick behaviour

[quaint mantle]

so it compiles with the red line

[quaint mantle]

am i use equals or equals ignore case ?
why

oh

[hazy parrot]

"fOo".equalsIgnoreCase("foo") is equal true

While equals would be false

[quaint mantle]

alright ty

[ocean hollow]

is there some kind of event that occurs when a player takes any damage? I mean, after the fire, from the entity, from the fall

if not, can you give list?)

[hazy parrot]

EntityDamageEvent ig

[scenic zenith]

Does anyone here know how I can prevent the loading of worlds and the loading of chunks to have only the end dimension. So like the 2b2t lobby?

[shadow night]

But if you wanna track what entity damaged, you should also listen to the EntityDamageByEntityEvent

[ocean hollow]

thank you guys

[inner mulch]

Is there a simple and efficient way to temporarily save and update an inventory, for example in a trade plugin, or do i need to save it in a file/database to get the results im looking for?

[ocean hollow]

why it doesn't work?

I need to have ability for saving it and canceling it later

[mortal hare]

is it normal to return object builders through factories?

[opaque scarab]

When your making dynamic torches, what seems better? (A): You put an instance in a hashmap and update on events, accessing the hashmap and checking if the player is holding the torch. (B): You have a runnable and iterate through a list of instances, checking if the player is holding the torch, every few ticks.

[mortal hare]

im currently developing an api

that could be compiled only and accessed if the main classes are within the same class loader

so basically i could use builder classes to build implementation specific objects

without relying them on compilation time

that way i could edit the underlying code without recompiling the whole plugin that relies on it

[ocean hollow]

A is better

HeldItemEvent for this

[mortal hare]

A is more efficient

[opaque scarab]

But doesn’t a hashmap search the entire map for a key? If their are multiple players moving in a tick, it will iterate through the map twice, reducing efficiency?

[mortal hare]

hashmap get the hash of the object

through that probable index

where the object is

then does comparison operation to check if the object is equal

if it is equal it returns you

[opaque scarab]

Oh, alright makes sense

[mortal hare]

its amortized O(1)

worst case O(N) iirc

[mortal hare]

if you want even more performance use IdentityHashMap in this case

it would compare memory locations (practically) of the player objects

that way it wouldnt need to hash the object

but be note it doesnt work for strings

and integers iirc

[opaque scarab]

So besides strings and integers, it is preferable?

[mortal hare]

or if you want even MORE performance use fastutil

in javadocs it says it shouldnt be used because it breaks the contract of the map interface

but i tbh think if its created why not use it

This class is not a general-purpose Map implementation! While this class implements the Map interface, it intentionally violates Map's general contract, which mandates the use of the equals method when comparing objects. This class is designed for use only in the rare cases wherein reference-equality semantics are required.

because you have player objects

which are unique

[ocean hollow]

what exactly is your problem?

[mortal hare]

each time player joins

you're fine

[opaque scarab]

I was wondering if more intensive operations would have to be performed in case A, but I was wrong.

[mortal hare]

scheduling runnables are a lot expensive operations

avoid them as much as you can

if you cant avoid them, then use them

some runnables require multiple threads to run

and firing threads costs performance

but nowadays software uses thread pools

which fire the threads as soon as the application launches

and it halts them until the work is provided to them

[ivory sleet]

idk i mean

they optimize the hell out of runnables

or in particular functional interfaces

[mortal hare]

that's very short explanation, but you should get the point

[mortal hare]

but that's still expensive operation outside java's boundaries

[ivory sleet]

na

[opaque scarab]

Yeah, makes sense. Thanks for the help!

[ivory sleet]

it compiles down to an invokedynamic bytecode instruction

much faster than invokevirtual

[mortal hare]

what i meant is the bytecode instruction would get interpreted in binary level

and OS level operations regarding threads are not cheap

[ivory sleet]

yeah threads, but runnables arent synonymous to threads

[mortal hare]

it depends

how that runnable is runned

[ivory sleet]

i mean sure to a vague extent

tho in essence its just a class with a single method, nothing more, nothing less to it (well not rly true but u get the point)

[mortal hare]

yea

i guess

[cedar marlin]

https://prnt.sc/pJ7E4IJ4nkyD

HOw do I fix that?

I used the Paragraph Colorcodes

not ChatColor.*

[quaint mantle]

am i check if online and last login date ?
with bungeecord ?

[mortal hare]

Use UTF-8

[mortal hare]

^

[cedar marlin]

How do I set UTF-8 ?

[mortal hare]

if you're using gradle build system for building plugins, add this to your build.gradle.kts

tasks {
    compileJava {
        options.encoding = Charsets.UTF_8.name()
    }
}

if you're using maven build system for building plugins, add this to your pom.xml

<project>
  <properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
  </properties>
</project>

[mortal hare]

also its not recommended to do coloring like this, it really depends on the encoding and that's a bad design

and coloring like this exists only for legacy support only

it doesnt work with hex color codes as well

overall its a bad way

if you're using paper, i suggest using TextComponent by retrieving it via Component.text() method, which is provided by adventure-api built into paper-api

[mortal hare]

or use bungeecord's chat components

dont be mad md_5

i should be mad that spigot doesnt have proper component support

[quaint mantle]

am i check players is offline or online ? with bungeecord ?

[mortal hare]

soz havent touched proxy servers (like bungee), so cant answer this one

[eternal oxide]

there is no such thing as an offline player in bungee

[quaint mantle]

well i think somethings

brb i will share my code

[mortal hare]

how can i name a builde rclass which provides, when built, multiple objects of the same object

and a builder class which when built, provides one object

i was thinking
PluralProviderBuilder
and
SingularProviderBuilder

but it doesnt sound right for me

any ideas?

i dont want to put it inside one builder since implementation could be distinctively different for both of the classes

[ivory sleet]

FactoryBuilder maybe?

like the builder builds a factory

and the factory is used to create objects

[mortal hare]

yes but im pretty sure there would be no method besides build() for factory builders

and it sounds a bit silly

[pseudo hazel]

your system sounds silly

[mortal hare]

it separates user code which uses objects from implementation classes

how's that silly

i dont need to recompile plugins in that case

if the same builder classes with the same method names exist

ImplementationClass -> ImplementationBuilder -> Builder interface which is retrieved through some endpoint -> build() retrieves Object interface with implementation specific object -> use that object without relying on the implementation code

[pseudo hazel]

I mean thats fine but then I would atleast name the class after what it is trying to build

instead of generic builderfactory

because I wouldnt be able to know what it builds or factorizes from that name

[mortal hare]

im not building factories i use factories to create implementation specific builders

im naming them properly, i just provided the example

[pseudo hazel]

okay so then its the other way around

okay then there is no issue I guess

im sorry to ask such generic question, but have you tried updating your world edit plugin? 😄

maybe versions do not match

if you're using vanilla WorldEdit, it could be laggy with large structures as well

FAWE solves this, but im not familiar with its implementation

this is not an error

}

im trying to make an easy to use armorstand command, but for some reason, its not detecting whenever I have true or false as my argument 3. please excuse any poor programming optimizations or just straight up stupid coding since ive only pretty much learnt the basics

[tall dragon]

you can use a MultiMap for that

[sterile breach]

multi map is like hashmap but i can add multiple value for any key?

[tall dragon]

yea. im not sure a multimap is in standard java lib tho

[hazy parrot]

take a note u can do it with normal map too Map<Key, Set<Value>>

[river oracle]

Multimap is in Gson which is provided by spigot anyways

[tall dragon]

needing this also kinda sounds like a design issue

to me at least

[hazy parrot]

Doesn't have to be really

[tall dragon]

you are checking if the arg length is 2 inside a block where you checked if they are 1 in length

that can never be true

nvm i read that wrong

no i read that right

lmfao

[spiral imp]

no I think you're right

ya ok I see the problem now

[tall dragon]

in the first one u need to check >=

not ==

[spiral imp]

yep

[sterile breach]

and caffeine can use multimap?

[tall dragon]

not sure what u mean by that

[sterile breach]

by default, caffeine works as a basic hashmap, it can work as a multimap?

[tall dragon]

well idk ive never used caffeine before

pretty sure thats a third party library

[river oracle]

Caffine supporst lists?

they just use generics in their caches

there is no MultiCache in caffeine its rather uneeded too

[sterile breach]

okay

okay okay, I'll state my problem. For each player I need to store instances of classes that I load on startup and unload when he leaves. And per player I may have to store the same instance 10 times sometimes. How do I tokenize them? hashmap? array?

[river oracle]

And per player I may have to store the same instance 10 times sometimes
This seems like a design flaw

also if you're just going to load on join and unload on leave just use a ConcurrentHashMap

[sterile breach]

I can't do otherwise. Each instance represents a row in the db.

[river oracle]

why not have one dataclass? having 10 seems like a huge design flaw

[hazy parrot]

I assume its probably some kind of home system

and those are actually instances of Home class or smth like that

[sterile breach]

an instance containing a hashmap?

[hazy parrot]

or I don't really understand why you need that

[river oracle]

what's wrong with a Map<UUID, List<Home> in that case? is that what we're trying to avoid or sometihng

[hazy parrot]

nah i see nothing wrong with it

[river oracle]

though I think in this case if we're using a database a data class is more appropiate

[hazy parrot]

just trying to understand what is he trying to do

[river oracle]

so

class PlayerData {
private final UUID uuid;
private final List<Home> homes;
}

seems like the best solution to easily load from a DB

then just have a PlayerDataManager and you're good to go

[ivory sleet]

Any Map can work as a multimap

[worthy moat]

Hey I want to display the rank (prefix) of a player in a message I sent with my plugin....How can I get the prefix?

[inner mulch]

Is there a simple and efficient way to temporarily save and update an inventory, for example in a trade plugin, or do i need to save it in a file/database to get the results im looking for?

[worthy moat]

mby with a Map

[inner mulch]

i thought of that too, but would it be inefficient? storing each item that the player put in the trade

[worthy moat]

You store the inventory object

Not each item on its own

[inner mulch]

in a trade inventory, both the people put their itemsi nto it

[worthy moat]

And I think as loong as you dont perform any not thread safe issues its no problem

[worthy moat]

Yeah and everytime someone puts something in you update the inventory in the cache

[inner mulch]

okay

[worthy moat]

Thats the best way to save something temporarly......You don't need to store it in a db

[inner mulch]

ok thank you for the help :).

[chrome beacon]

make sure your plugin jars from the plugins folder

so it doesn't load the old one

How are you compiling your jar

[worthy moat]

I actually think its the best solution...I mean a DB is too much for a short inv and you just have to update something as soon as there is a cliick event and the inventory is the one you are monitoring

[modest bolt]

sry to interject, how can I get a block object?

[inner mulch]

okay

[worthy moat]

You could create an Object like "TradeContainer" and this one stores the Inventory , the players who are trading and the items each player offers

And then you have everything you need

[inner mulch]

i have never used objects (as far as i know) what the difference?

[worthy moat]

Are you pretty new to Java?

[mortal hare]

[worthy moat]

Its just a class where you store stuff

[inner mulch]

yes, i started 2 weeks ago

[mortal hare]

Object is the instance of the class

[worthy moat]

SCHNITZEL xD

[inner mulch]

german?

[mortal hare]

new YourClass()

is your object

YourClass is the class

[worthy moat]

ah nice okay...Just one thing....I ve someone ever tells you to just learn the basics and does not help you...Fuck those people

[worthy moat]

yes

[mortal hare]

new keyword instanciates it and makes an object

[inner mulch]

im german too, and i agree, telling ppl to learn the basics doesnt really help them

[worthy moat]

yes had that

[mortal hare]

i mean there are flip sides to your point

on one hand you cant really teach java properly on discord

on everything

on the other hand being rude doesnt help either

[worthy moat]

yeah but most of the time suich people are just rude

[inner mulch]

yeah, i mean if the person doesnt know something like if statements they should probably learn the basics first, but if the qeustions are more complex its not helpful so say something like that.

[worthy moat]

The problem I had back in the day was that I only knew the german names for something like constructer....Then I asked what was is and the only answer I get is "learn java".....It doenst really help if you just tell someone that without knowing why someone does ask that

[inner mulch]

yeah thats not nice

[worthy moat]

yeah

[inner mulch]

you are right, i will start developing my plugin now :)

I'm getting this error when starting my server

[young knoll]

Are you doing new MyMainClass anywhere

[vital ridge]

not in my own code.

[young knoll]

Are the dependencies doing that for some reason

[vital ridge]

Well they might, but when both of the dependencies are on my server and I remove my plugin, the error doesnt occur.

[icy beacon]

make sure there are no circular dependencies or whatever it's called

[vital ridge]

Well the dependencies are actually connected, the first dependency (a prison core) uses the 2nd dependency (the helper)

[icy beacon]

it's fine for them to be connected as long as it's not in a circle

if A depends on B, B can't depend on A

[vital ridge]

yeah a only depends on b.

As far as I'm concerned.

[icy beacon]

and what if we add C

because there are 3 plugins from what I see

[vital ridge]

Well yeah my plugin depends on the core since I'm using it's functionality.

The core uses the helper

But noone needs my plugin in order to work, so there should be no circle.

But there is that error.

[young knoll]

Do you have 2 plugins with the same name

[icy beacon]

are there any lines in the stacktrace that trace back to some of your code?

[hazy parrot]

Send WildTile line 15

Is that your pl?

[vital ridge]

Yep

thats the beginning of my class

which extends java plugin

the line of the class definition

[hazy parrot]

I would say it's library problem

Is it open source?

[vital ridge]

I got that

Before compiling

Its a warning

[WARNING] WildTile-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, XPrison-1.0.jar, helper-1.0.jar define 2 overlapping resources: 
[WARNING]   - META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
[WARNING]   - plugin.yml
[WARNING] maven-shade-plugin has detected that some class files are
[WARNING] present in two or more JARs. When this happens, only one

[hazy parrot]

That is not really problem

[vital ridge]

Gotchu.

[chrome beacon]

Are you shading your helper lib

[hazy parrot]

Is that helper plugin open source?

[chrome beacon]

And trying to load it too?

[hazy parrot]

Oh well, I didn't notice plugin yml here

[chrome beacon]

I don't think you're supposed to shade helper

[vital ridge]

How should I add it to my project then?

[young knoll]

Maven or gradle?

[vital ridge]

iam adding with maven

[young knoll]

Set scope to provided

[vital ridge]

Done.

I ran mvn install on the helper jar file

and then added the dependency to my pom.xml

Thats how I did it

Well I have no idea how to go from here.

It cant be the library problem, its such a big plugin they would have discovered it already.

Okay

I added the <provided> scope to both of the dependencies

now I don't get the plugin already intialized error

but now it spits our errors that it can't find classes

Do I need to include the dependencies in my plugin.yml aswell?

[chrome beacon]

Did you add the helper jar to the server

[vital ridge]

Yes.

But I haven't added any dependencies in my plugin.yml

[chrome beacon]

Try doing that

[vital ridge]

How do I know the correct names to add there though

[chrome beacon]

You check the plugin.yml

Of the other plugins

[vital ridge]

That worked.

if (!Bukkit.getPluginManager().isPluginEnabled("XPrison-1.12.2-RELEASE")) {
            this.getLogger().warning("Unable to hook into UltraPrisonCore! Disabling...");
            this.getServer().getPluginManager().disablePlugin(this);
            return;
        }

this method does not work, it returns false, even though I have a plugin named exactly that in my plugins folder

Also XPrison is in my dependencies in the plugin.yml

I tried changing the XPrison name to Vault and then the method worked correctly.

[echo basalt]

It's not the file name

but the name in the plugin.yml

[mortal hare]

i suggest using bukkit service api

that way you dont need to retrieve the plugin by its name

and you can just specify that api class instead

[vital ridge]

That worked, now I'm just getting this error in the console:

[02:23:23 ERROR]: Error occurred while enabling WildTile v1.0-SNAPSHOT (Is it up to date?)
java.lang.NullPointerException: null

i Honestly dont know what the fuck is going on today

[mortal hare]

where are you executing this code

on load or on enable?

[vital ridge]

onEnable

[mortal hare]

have you added loadbefore

in plugin.yml

[vital ridge]

no

What would it do?

[mortal hare]

i meant depend not loadbefore

[vital ridge]

yes

the dependencies are added

[mortal hare]

am i correct thinking that you've added depend: XPrison inside plugin.yml

[tender shard]

there's probably more lines of stacktrace than just this

[vital ridge]

X-Prison

yeah

As the plugin.yml had it

[vital ridge]

Okay I closed the server instead of reloading and started it again, you were right, thats the error: https://paste.md-5.net/ujobixewoz.css

[tender shard]

what's TextUtils line 26?

or WildTileEnchantment line 13?

[vital ridge]

Bukkit.getConsoleSender().sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "[WildTile] Successfully enabled!");

That has literally never caused me any problems before

In other plugins

[mortal hare]

im pretty sure your field inside ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes() somewhere is null

[tender shard]

i doubt that this is actually line 13. Or if it is, then the stacktrace you sent doesn't match your source code

[mortal hare]

reloadDefaultAttributes() line 49

null string object inside ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes()

if i had to guess

[tender shard]

or does WildTileEnchantment extend XPrisonEnchantment?

[vital ridge]

yes it does

[tender shard]

then it looks like you're creating your enchantment instance before XPrison got properly enabled

check in your log whether XPrison gets enabled before your plugin

[vital ridge]

it does

[tender shard]

is this prison thing on github?

[vital ridge]

ALso the code should be in the correct order, I just checked + I followed the exact Devs guide on github

yes lemme send it

https://github.com/Drawethree/X-Prison

[tender shard]

the message parameter in TextUtils line 26 is null, so lets see where it comes from

[vital ridge]

Line 26 is just a brace

thats the whole function

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

[tender shard]

there is no "RawName" set for your enchantment in the xprison enchantment config

this returns null for your enchantment

and then it gets passed to translateAlternateColorCodes which doesn't accept a null to translate

[tender shard]

no, this is line 26, and "message" there is null

there's either no Name or no RawName set for that enchantment

[vital ridge]

Yeah I had to add that to the config

I did add it

I still get the exact same error

Even though i shouldnt

cuz I specificied both the rawname and name in the config as the dev guide asked me to.

[vital ridge]

Yeah Idk i literall added the rawname and name to the config

Like the dev guide told me to

Still null

[unborn sable]

Would block.getFace() return the face that is forward on a dispenser?

Cause I need a way to modify dispensers but make it look vanilla

[young knoll]

It’s part of BlockData

[vital ridge]

Thas rly weird, I removed the text i added to the config and just switched the id of another existing basic enchantment and now my plugin works

[wet breach]

It returns a blockface. But from that method you can specify which face you want

[vital ridge]

Thanks for that.

[unborn sable]

Which property

[young knoll]

Check which BlockData type dispenser uses

It’ll be in the docs of its material

I think it’s orientable

[unborn sable]

When I get the Dispenser event’s (forgot name) block, it won’t let me get it as a Dispenser type instead of just block

[vital ridge]

THe example code provided in the developer api didnt include "GuiName" parameter in the example config and provided a wrong copy paste lmao

[young knoll]

What

[unborn sable]

I try to get the block as a dispenser but it says I can’t cast it as one ( because the only block that comes from the event is a dispenser )

[young knoll]

Show the code

[unborn sable]

K idea is being slow so one minute

So it won’t let me copy for some reason

There is the code though

[young knoll]

Dispenser is BlockData not a block

Use block.getBlockData

[unborn sable]

O

Would it be the getFacing method

[young knoll]

Yes

[unborn sable]

Ok

Now how would I use that face to spawn an entity 1 block away from the block

[simple schooner]

Can u store an arraylist in a hashmap?

[unborn sable]

I just need to dispense custom spawn eggs like charged creepers and giants

They are just spawn eggs with pdc values

[young knoll]

block.getRelative(face)

[young knoll]

Yes

[simple schooner]

Okay thank you

[simple schooner]

But is it possible to edit that arraylist though?

Like add objects

I'm trying to store the player's created hologram so that they can edit it

[unborn sable]

That returns the block at the face, is that the dispenser or the block next to it

[young knoll]

Assuming block is the dispenser

It will be the one next to it

[young knoll]

Yes

But if you find yourself nesting collections you probably want a data class

[unborn sable]

Well the dispense event only returns a dispenser so yea

[simple schooner]

uhm the problem is, I don't know what that is. I'm new to java, it's only been like 3 days

[young knoll]

A data class is a class designed to just hold data

In this case you’d have a Map<UUID,DataClass> and the dataclass would have all the holograms

As well as methods to interact with them

[simple schooner]

So I could just store the display entity?

im dumb i don't know what im saying

[dim oxide]

anyone can help me with bungee messaging channel?

[unborn sable]

I'm not able to do .getFacing on Dispenser data

[young knoll]

I assure you it does exist

Are you using the correct dispenser import

[unborn sable]

I see it on the docs

[young knoll]

.

[unborn sable]

Oh

I was using org.bukkit.block.Dispenser

[young knoll]

You need the BlockData one

[unborn sable]

Yea now it works lol

[dim oxide]

nobody?

[echo basalt]

?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!

[dim oxide]

I am trying to do a cross server staffchat using the bungee messaging channel, the thing is that the message is sent but the other server does not receive it

[echo basalt]

The server needs an online player to receive it

[dim oxide]

and there is one

[echo basalt]

Show code

[dim oxide]

    public void bungeeStaffChatSend(Player sender, String message) {
        if (!plugin.getPlugin().getConfig().getBoolean("bungeecord")) {
            return;
        }

        String format = plugin.getConfig().getStaffchatFormat().replace("{player}", sender.getName()).replace("{message}", message);
        ByteArrayDataOutput out = ByteStreams.newDataOutput();
        out.writeUTF(format);

        sender.sendPluginMessage(plugin.getPlugin(), "kumastaff:staffchat", out.toByteArray());
        System.out.println("Sending message to BungeeCord");
    }

    @Override
 public void onPluginMessageReceived(@NotNull String channel, @NotNull Player player, @NotNull byte[] message) {
        if (!channel.equals("kumastaff:staffchat")) {
            return;
        }
        ByteArrayDataInput in = ByteStreams.newDataInput(message);
        String msg = in.readUTF();
        System.out.println("Received message from BungeeCord");
        player. sendMessage(msg);
    }```

[echo basalt]

Did you register the plugin channel

[dim oxide]

Yes I believe

[echo basalt]

show proof

[dim oxide]

https://pastebin.com/1sMNxaEV

and in the main I did

StaffchatBungee bungee = new StaffchatBungee(this);
bungee.load();```

[echo basalt]

h m

w a i t

You don't have a bungee plugin in between?

[dim oxide]

No

[echo basalt]

Yeah that's your problem

[dim oxide]

oh

[echo basalt]

You're sending a message through a player

and expecting to receive it elsewhere

[dim oxide]

and what should i do then?

[echo basalt]

Switch to redis or make a bungee plugin

[dim oxide]

Is it very difficult to use redis? xd

[echo basalt]

eh

[simple schooner]

can you open an inventory asynchronously

[echo basalt]

U h h

Great question

don't think so

[simple schooner]

ok

[dim oxide]

is that a yes or no

[echo basalt]

It's not complicated

But it's an added dependency

you'll need a redis server

and to either shade or use the library loader feature to load the redis driver

[dim oxide]

oh

[simple schooner]

Then how can I open an inventory when the player is done chatting

[echo basalt]

runTask, do your thing

[inner mulch]

How do I give infinite potion effects to players? Like with the /effect command in the newer versions?

[echo basalt]

set the ticks as integer.max_limit

[inner mulch]

do you also know how i can remove certain effects from a player or can i only remove all of them at once?

[young knoll]

Use -1 for duration

[echo basalt]

literally use your ide

[young knoll]

There is a constant for it somewhere

[echo basalt]

and just type "player.potion" and see what it comes up with

[young knoll]

PotionEffect.INFINITE_DURATION

[inner mulch]

if you are not willing to help on this question then dont, but when i looked i couldnt find something like that

maybe im blind

[inner mulch]

thanks, do you also know if i can remove certain potion effects of a player?

[young knoll]

removePotionEffect
