Does that command not work anymore?

Oh

[simple schooner]

aaa how do I run a synchronous method asynchronously

brrruuuhhhh

[alpine urchin]

which method

some methods spigot prevents from running async with asynccatchers

you shouldn’t just bypass it

this is probably more of a

?xy

[undone axle]

http://xyproblem.info/

[simple schooner]

OpenInventory

[alpine urchin]

show me the async context

why are you in an async section

show us some code

so we can judge it as a whole

[simple schooner]

I want to run it in AsyncPlayerChatEvent

Is there a way to run it there

[alpine urchin]

you get an error

if you do right

just use a bukkit scheduler to run it on main thread

[quaint mantle]

open it sync but u can fill the items async if u want

[sterile breach]

I just add an array in my hashmap ?

[river oracle]

yeah

that's what a multimap is

[sterile breach]

So to store an indétermined info per player is good ?

[sterile breach]

I suppose it also works with

Caffeine

[river oracle]

Yeah Caffeine does just use maps

you should probably understand the data structures you are using before using them. I mean these questions seem fairly basic

[sterile breach]

Yes, I wondered if that was possible.

Mmmmmh

[native bramble]

whether it is necessary to use multithreading in working with databases

and in which situation i need to use multithreading?

[quaint mantle]

any time u interact with the db u prob dont want to do in a blocking manor

I just interact with a cache all the time and save to db every 5m on a new thread

[native bramble]

its ok to use conpletablefuture and executorservice?

[wet breach]

Yes

[native bramble]

like i have func which check if record exist in db

[wet breach]

Just make sure you execute it in an async task

[native bramble]

okay

thank u

should i connect to db also in async task?

[ivory sleet]

its even recommended :)

[native bramble]

ty

[ivory sleet]

na

I mean tbh

u should use a connection pool

(perhaps hikari)

and then just use that to acquire connections on the fly

[native bramble]

HikariCP?

[ivory sleet]

yes thats the one

[native bramble]

thank u

I'll find out

[simple schooner]

I think im getting ddosed

[wraith dragon]

Anyone experienced in making minigames, I was just talking to another developer on minigame states and how it could be optimzed more, I asked him about listeners and listener providers which is basically something like, PlayingGameState uses PlayingListenerProvider and Waiting and Starting game state uses PreGameListenerProvider or just gamestates as the listeners themselves. Is there any other method to be used that is even better than the two mentioned?

[lost matrix]

What does a ListenerProvider do? That name sound like there is an applied disaster underneath.

[hazy parrot]

Imillusion made some kind of guide how mini games should be designed, it can be of use to you https://github.com/IllusionTheDev/Minigame-Demo/wiki/The-basics-‐-Phases

[lost matrix]

I can already see a problem here. Registering listeners on runtime should (and can) be avoided. Especially if it happens often.

Ah i see what he did there. I guess this is fine but it resembles a bit the one-class approach of alex's BlockData.

GamePhase is a bit overloaded when it comes to responsibilities here

[wraith dragon]

oh sorry I forgot to mention what it does, so basically instead of the GameState having the listener you make a listener class and make multiple gamestates use that listener

[lost matrix]

Wait i think he doesnt register events on runtime? It depends on the registerEvents implementation...

Could also have a Map<Class<? extends Event, Consumer<? extends Event>> underneath.

[wraith dragon]

https://github.com/YesNoBruhbruh/Luckywars-okvr/tree/main/src/main/java/com/luckywars/game/game/state

here is an example

instead of listenerProvider its GameStateListener

[undone axle]

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

[wraith dragon]

oh mb

[hybrid spoke]

yeah, you cant?

[lost matrix]

Yes. This will produce unfathomable amounts of lag.
One player can probably lag out the entire server by
himself.

Its a bit of an overexeggeration but this code will perform very poorly.

Spawners are tile entities.
-> When the chunk loads : count spawners and keep track of that
-> On block place : increase amount
-> On spawner destrcuction : decrease amount

Why is EventExecutor not generic

Nothing, wasnt directed at you.

Just brainstorming on dynamic event handling for minigames.

[wraith dragon]

any ideas so far?

[lost matrix]

I got carried away with an idea. Let me quickly read your code.

You dont. Listen for ChunkLoadEvent

[lilac dagger]

just create a single event handler

no need for dynamic events

[wraith dragon]

but wont that need a lot of if statements?

[lost matrix]

    public void deleteGame(UUID uuid){
        this.games.get(uuid).delete();
        this.games.remove(uuid);
    }

Does the same as

    public void deleteGame(UUID uuid){
        this.games.remove(uuid).delete();
    }

[lilac dagger]

no?

[native bramble]

Is it right way to use CompletableFuture with jdbc?
Here is code - https://pastebin.com/CpQLZmWJ
call the function in this way - DiscordDataHandler.connect();

[lilac dagger]

assuming you have only a single game

you can have it pretty small

one per game, not per arena i mean

[lost matrix]

You are not even returning the CF.
Just submit a task to the executor.
PS: Creating executors can be expensive.

[native bramble]

cant really understand what u mean

i need to return not boolean but CompletableFuture<boolean>?

[lost matrix]

    ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
    executor.submit(() -> {
      // All your async code here
    });

[native bramble]

ty

[ivory sleet]

Because it was designed to support invariant events

[lost matrix]

Wait i dont get why you cant have a generic method for invariant objects...

[wraith dragon]

oh I just saw this message, I actually didnt realize that

[ivory sleet]

Well the idea was that you’d use the same event executor for different event callbacks that callback invariant event types

Like ForkJoinPool::commonPool

Its an executor thats widely used for different types of callbacks

[wraith dragon]

well for checking the states

[ivory sleet]

And also why would u have a type constructor for that if they are just that, invariant

[lost matrix]

It made sense to me because in my head there is only one EventExecutor per event type.
I dont see a scenario where one EventExecutor is used for multiple event types.

[lilac dagger]

i don't use a lot of states myself, just for so it depends on the usecase

[lost matrix]

nvm i just used one...

[ivory sleet]

Well there are scenarios where it may be appropriate to reuse the event executor

Assuming it might cache varhandles/methodhandles or other things but yeah

[lost matrix]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[lost matrix]

@ivory sleet Could you look at this and tell me if that makes sense?
Got a bit of a headache rn and im not 100% sure this unsafe cast works
https://paste.md-5.net/jamucimiti.java

If it does then this is a very nice tool for dynamic, lazy event registrations for minigames

[glossy venture]

yeah everything in their render distance

[glossy venture]

i think so

seems like its checked

[lost matrix]

It depends if the population of the Map was done in a safe manner

[glossy venture]

yeah true but it seems like it is

[lost matrix]

If you put a Class<InventoryClickEvent> and a Consumer<BlockBreakEvent> in this then it breaks

[glossy venture]

unless someone fucks up the data with reflection or smth

[shadow night]

What the heck is that

[glossy venture]

yeah ik

[wraith dragon]

I see, would you recommend doing what you've suggested if lets say the amount of states I have is 5

[glossy venture]

but that shouldnt happen in normal execution right

[lost matrix]

Depends on the guy that implemented the phase.getEvents(); methods.
The map is not type safe.

[lilac dagger]

yes, usually you need to check for if not waiting and if waiting

[lost matrix]

I really miss something like that. A map where the key type correspons to the value type.
But this is not possible with type errasure.

[ivory sleet]

Consumer<? extends X> doesnt ever make sense

Consumers are contravariant by nature

[lilac dagger]

you can make one with a Key<Type>

[ivory sleet]

(I mean it can make sense sometimes)

[wraith dragon]

hmm alright I'll probably just use this for now, its more performant compared to each gameState being a listener

[lost matrix]

Consumer<? extends X> is more flexible than Consumer<X> as it allows accepting arguments of different subtypes of X, but it does not allow modifying the underlying object. You would never use a Consumer<Event> and then pass subtypes like PlayerEvent to that.

You need a Consumer<? extends Event> to pass a PlayerEvent to the consumer

[ivory sleet]

Do you know anything about type theory smile? Else if I say covariance and contravariance it means nothing

[hybrid spoke]

what is that

[lost matrix]

Nope sry. Thats CS theory im not familiar with.
But i can look it a up in a sec.

[hybrid spoke]

it does and in that case you need it

there is no covariance when talking about events

you want that flexibility

[ivory sleet]

Yes there is no covariance but there might be contravariance

[lost matrix]

Ok looked it up. Contravariance doesnt make much sense in java. Let me dig deeper.

[hybrid spoke]

how would there be a contravariance

[ivory sleet]

PECS, producer extends, consumer supers

Consumer is a consumer

super is just the java keyword for allowing contravariance, extends is just the keyword for allowing covariance

[lost matrix]

Yes i think that makes sense. How are consumers inherently contravariant then? This part i dont understand.

[ivory sleet]

well lets turn it around

How are they inherently or even at all possible to have a covariant relation

[distant wave]

is it possible to change the amount of ticks to wait between runs of task timer while its already executed

[ivory sleet]

Consumer<Bear> x = bear -> bear.doBearSpecificSounds();
void invokeConsumer(Consumer<? extends Animal> consumer) {
consumer.accept(new Animal());
}

invokeConsumer(x);

this becomes the issue

Now that shouldnt compile if my brain thinks correctly

But just looking at it you’d understand sth is wrong with it

[lost matrix]

• Create a concrete implementation with an internal counter.
• Schedule this task for every tick.
• Add a field to the class and call it mod
  In your run do something like

if(ticks++ % this.mod == 0) {
  this.runAction();
}

• add a setter for your mod

Now you have a scheduled task where you can change the
tick delay with a setter

[lost matrix]

Yeah this shouldnt work.

Ok and a contravariant solution?

Wait let me try

[ivory sleet]

Yeah (:

[lost matrix]

Wait... every consumer is contravariant

[ivory sleet]

Yeah well in theory yes

I mean as godcipher said

There are moments when we break theory

Either you make the consumer bivariant, or contravariant yk (:

[lost matrix]

I got carried away with some question earlier. Something something dynamic event registration for minigames.

Anyways i got a headache. Gonna play with my doggo and do some rl stuff.

[stone bronze]

The program I installed on Spigot was removed due to disturb, where did you come to such a conclusion when there was not even the slightest impression of it in the program?

[hybrid spoke]

what was it and whats the reason despite disturb

and what even is disturb

[stone bronze]

They didn't say anything about it, all they reported was that the program was not approved.

[sterile breach]

hello, I have a question about how to store my data.
When a player joins I load his data in an array that I need to put in a hashmap. When he leaves, I don't remove them directly. It waits 10 min and if after 10 min he hasn't logged in, it deletes them. Is it possible to do this with caffeine? Or do I have to make my own system with hashmap?

[chrome beacon]

🤔 why an array instead your own object

[tall dragon]

caffeine does support automatic expiry https://www.javadoc.io/doc/com.github.ben-manes.caffeine/caffeine/2.5.2/com/github/benmanes/caffeine/cache/Expiry.html

you can easily find examples on google on how that works

[sterile breach]

Because all player don't have the same amount of the object

[sterile breach]

Yes but i can Cancel the expiration (if player join) ?

[wet breach]

Might need to explain more as that doesnt quite make sense

[tall dragon]

pretty sure you can set it to expire after access

meaning it will reset the counter after each time you access a key

[sterile breach]

But if i don't acces wen a player leave ?

[tall dragon]

why would you care if he gets removed from the cache a bit earlier

[sterile breach]

When the cache got removed i add it in the db

But yes i can change that at the player leave

[quaint mantle]

This is probally a really stupid mistake but i cant find it. All other commands are basically build the same so i dont know whats the error with this one specific one.

i tried "fusing" some plugins and everything works perfectly up until i added fly to

idk why

[lilac dagger]

did you register fly in plugin.yml?

[zealous osprey]

You probably didn't add the cmd to your spigot.yml

[eternal oxide]

^

[tall dragon]

i suspect he did not

[quaint mantle]

oh.yh.

i knew it was gonna be stupid

but

this beats all my expectations

thx tho

[buoyant viper]

happens to the best of us, its rly fckin annoying having to double register

[zealous osprey]

Why? It's a common mistake. If you see this exception in the future for when you register a command, you'll be more likely to check the spigot.yml.

[tall dragon]

i always just register right into the commandmap

cba with plugin.yml

[ivory sleet]

Same

I do personally think it makes more sense to not use plugin yml altho the api is designed that way so 🤷

[tall dragon]

yea same

[ivory sleet]

Like commands are arguably not plugin meta manifest thiny thingy

[tall dragon]

the way its currently designed in the api doesnt even support creating commands on the fly

[ivory sleet]

yeah

[tall dragon]

its probably done for the extra information you can provide

like usage i believe?

and permissions

[ivory sleet]

Tbh tho

[tall dragon]

not sure on that

[ivory sleet]

That is just as addable using the api

PluginCommand yk

[tall dragon]

yea true

[quaint mantle]

i completly forgor plugin.yml was even a thing after not making plugins for weeks x)

[solid cargo]

is it possible (and good practice) to put these listeners in one?

so have public void onProcess (PlayerCommandPreProcessEvent event, ServerCommandEvent event2)

[tall dragon]

id just keep it like you have right now

[ivory sleet]

You cant do that

[tall dragon]

and no

unless he makes his own method and passed both events to it

[quaint mantle]

why would u want to do that

[tall dragon]

but that makes little sense to me

[solid cargo]

idk seemed like a good idea yesteraday at 2am

[ivory sleet]

its a good idea potentially but the api isnt designed that way

[tall dragon]

spigot event api go brrrrr

[chrome beacon]

Spigot already has a restart command?

also why sudo

[solid cargo]

not if you custom-run your server

then you need a restart script

afaik

[chrome beacon]

The Spigot restart command runs a script

[ivory sleet]

Im very against having ur code doing that tho

just use proper tools

[chrome beacon]

It's specified in the spigot.yml

[ivory sleet]

like docker

or sth

[solid cargo]

eh its a close friend smp anyways

they wont care

(i wont as well)

if its a bigger project then i would consider it

[ivory sleet]

well once u become good at docker and kubernetes you will prefer it over manually program those startup and shutdown procedures

[tall dragon]

i really need to learn how docker works properly

seems to usefull

[solid cargo]

oh shit its that simple

sorry i take my words back

[ivory sleet]

yeaaaa

[tall dragon]

do you know of any good things to watch/read to learn?

[ivory sleet]

i watched like 1 or 2 yt vids

but then proceeded to just try things with support from their docs

[tall dragon]

fair enough

[ivory sleet]

also did ask about best practices in comm servers ,:)

[solid cargo]

goodbye restartcommand o/

[ivory sleet]

[vital ridge]

This sk89qs getCardinalDirection method which returns where are you facing:

?pastebin

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[vital ridge]

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

But for some reason it returns the cardinal direction to the right of me

So if I'm facing north it returns west

[lilac dagger]

@vital ridge public static BlockFace getFacing(double yaw) {
if (yaw > 135 && yaw <= 180 || yaw < -135) {
return BlockFace.NORTH;
} else if (yaw >= -135 && yaw <= -45) {
return BlockFace.EAST;
} else if (yaw < 135 && yaw >= 45) {
return BlockFace.WEST;
}
return BlockFace.SOUTH;
}

try this

[vital ridge]

I mean east*

[tall dragon]

probably the -90 isnt needed anymore

[vital ridge]

Why does he does all the calculations doe like %360 etc

why wont he take the raw yaws

and just do comparisions

[solid cargo]

wait this is all i need for the thing?

[vital ridge]

removed it now it returns the opposite direction

I could add 180 degrees

[tall dragon]

i guess its + 90 then xD

depends on what kind of server

and server version

as well as playerbase

thats plenty

[chrome beacon]

^

[vital ridge]

I added 180

now it works

[tall dragon]

ah well fair enough.

[clever lantern]

how do i send message to action bar?

since spigot().sendMessage is deprecated

[icy beacon]

no it is not, are you using paper by chance?

[clever lantern]

no

[icy beacon]

no deprecations

paper javadocs: deprecated

[undone axle]

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

[clever lantern]

sry mb i didnt cast sender to player

lol

[stray nacelle]

helo guz

[icy beacon]

anyway, came here to ask a question, is this method applicable to the entire inventory? it seems that it fails to remove an item in the second hand, though i did not debug enough yet

[stray nacelle]

how i can call server.craftItem() without player

[icy beacon]

server is what class exactly

[stray nacelle]

bukkit

craftserver

[icy beacon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Server.html this?

[icy beacon]

ah

[stray nacelle]

yes

[icy beacon]

well you probably cannot because the argument of Player is not null. try calling it on the first online player and see if that works for you

[stray nacelle]

it will call craft event from that player

[icy beacon]

yep

The World and Player arguments are required to fulfill the Bukkit Crafting events.

[stray nacelle]

bad

[icy beacon]

you cannot avoid it most likely

[chrome beacon]

Why don't you want to provide a player?

[icy beacon]

i assume there's no player for them and they just want to craft an item from ingredients

[opal juniper]

instead of using Objects.requireNonNull i would reccomend a proper null check

[quaint mantle]

👍

[zealous osprey]

For what even is Objects.requireNonNull meant to be used?

[opal juniper]

basically it throws an error if the paramter is is null

so you wont get an NPE, you just get a different exception but i really wished intellij didnt reccomend it

Cause it aint just gonna magically create an object

[zealous osprey]

So it's similar to assert obj ! = null

[opal juniper]

public static <T> T requireNonNull(T obj) {
    if (obj == null)
        throw new NullPointerException();
    return obj;
}

im wrong, you still get an NPE just in a different place

[shadow night]

lmfao

most useless shit

[ocean hollow]

how can I Block.setType to String, it gives me error

used to be "String" gave the same

[chrome beacon]

Don't use legacy materials

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

Don't do that

[ocean hollow]

before that it was not legacy

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

in legacy versions

which is why it's called legacy

[quaint mantle]

String is not block

[stray nacelle]

potato is not block

[ocean hollow]

so what is this

[quaint mantle]

Refering to exeption

[stray nacelle]

block string

craftblock

[ocean hollow]

so what shound I do?

[chrome beacon]

Don't use the legacy material

[sterile breach]

yes, but I don't want the timer to start until the player has left.

[ocean hollow]

with Material.STRING was the same

[stray nacelle]

u trying to place that?

[ocean hollow]

yeah

[wise mesa]

Can someone help me understand bounded generics? I don’t get them

I’ll just use list and number as an example

[stray nacelle]

public class Value<I_THINK_ITS_VALUE_YES_IT_IS_OMG_GENERICS_IN_JAVA_OMFG_YES_YES_SKIBIDI_DOP_DOP_DOP_DOP_YES_YES_YES_YES>

[wise mesa]

Why would I ever use

List<? extends Number>

Over

List<Number>

Can I not put integers and whatnot in the second list

Why do I need the first

[stray nacelle]

idk

[dreamy nimbus]

Hello, can we talk about mod programming too in here?

[chrome beacon]

https://www.baeldung.com/java-generics-vs-extends-object

[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!

[dreamy nimbus]

Alright

[lilac dagger]

the ? prevents writing

[wise mesa]

I can’t guarantee you’ll get an answer

But you can ask

[dreamy nimbus]

Being new to modding, I just started a fresh new mod in Intellij.
But when I launch gradlew genIntellijRuns I get

> startup failed:
  General error during conversion: Unsupported class file major version 64

  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported class file major version 64

[wise mesa]

So how would you fill the list?

[dreamy nimbus]

Yes, that's what I thought

That's forge 1.16.5

[lilac dagger]

you prefill it, and this can be exposed as an immutable number

[wise mesa]

But that’s <?> vs <? extends T> not <T> vs <? extends T>

[wise mesa]

I see

[dreamy nimbus]

I tried a bunch of parameter changes, but nothing seems to change this error

[wise mesa]

Can I cast a List<Number> to a List<? extends Number> and vice versa?

[lilac dagger]

you can cast it yes, as long as the list you're casting is at least a number

[dreamy nimbus]

Being new to modding I just started a

[ivory sleet]

Lol

I mean List<? extends Number> supports a term of the type List<Double>, List<Integer> and so on

Its also considered to be a read only list as its pretty much is a producer and allows for covariance

[wise mesa]

Ohhhhhhhh

OHHHHHH

okay I was confused because

A List<Number> could contain a Double because polymorphism

[icy beacon]

where can I find the indexing for player inventory? specifically, which slot is mapped to which number for setItem and other operations

[wise mesa]

But that helps a lot

[ivory sleet]

Yes but thats on an object/term level

[wise mesa]

There’s an image somewhere

3 people will send it

[icy beacon]

yeah i know it's somewhere haha

i wanna find it

[wise mesa]

All at the same time

[icy beacon]

fine by me

[icy beacon]

tyty

[wise mesa]

I feel like that image should be pinned

[young knoll]

It’s not even right for spigot

[icy beacon]

it isn't?

[young knoll]

0-8 is mapped to the hotbar

[icy beacon]

oh right

true

though the 9-35 is corrrect iirc

[young knoll]

@tender shard has one for spigot

[icy beacon]

actually i don't think that the crafting matrix is even available to setItem

so yeah this does seem to be inaccurate

[lilac dagger]

imagine spending 30 mins to make the image and it's not even right

[icy beacon]

i guess it's right somewhere

don't know where though

i don't think it was created randomly with no thought put in

[young knoll]

Probably packet level

[icy beacon]

perhaps

[smoky oak]

I know this is probably a very bad idea. Can Java internally compile source code from input string(s) and execute it without writing them to a file?

[icy beacon]

uhh i bet that some niche library can parse java in real time maybe possibly perhaps

why though?

[chrome beacon]

Yes

[icy beacon]

with no external libs?

[pine forge]

Is there a way to put clickable links in a kick reason?

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

[icy beacon]

how so?

[chrome beacon]

https://www.baeldung.com/java-string-compile-execute-code

[icy beacon]

holy shit

[young knoll]

New skript just dropped

[icy beacon]

yeah i was just thinking that a scripting language for a plugin could be java itself lmao

but it's less of a hassle to just make one's own

[pine forge]

Clickable links in Kick Reason

[chrome beacon]

Yeah you can make a scripting language that compiles to native code if you want

[icy beacon]

did you add the essentials dependency to pom?

you ideally never manually type in the import value, it should be imported automatically or by auto suggestions

and you really should

well it's never too late to learn

your ide should have a creation wizard for a maven/gradle project

just create one and start going with the flow. when you don't understand something, look it up and really soak in the information and then try to apply what you've learned

when you stop learning, you start dying
(c) some guys signature on spigot

be aware that everybody here is happy to help you as long as you try to really understand what you're being provided, as long as you really want to learn and as long as you are not trying to be spoonfed

it won't take long to port your code. it's as much as copying the files from your old project to your new project and then actually adding dependencies instead of whatever you have now

[lilac dagger]

i miss eclipse

[shadow night]

hey, I'm trying to create an interface for certain kinds of classes and everything I do there has to be static, but apparently static methods in interfaces have to have a body and in abstract classes static is not allowed at all

[icy beacon]

uhh

please elaborate

?xy

[undone axle]

http://xyproblem.info/

[lilac dagger]

use an abstractclass instead

[shadow night]

._.

[lilac dagger]

interfaces are strictly for contracts

[icy beacon]

and the phrase "everything i do there has to be static" is kinda throwing me off. is this a utility class? why would you need to abstract a utility class?

[shadow night]

it basically is

[lilac dagger]

you don't need abstract when using static

static is bound to the class, abstract is bound to object

[icy beacon]

please explain exactly what you are trying to do

[wise mesa]

Just don’t make the method in the interface static?

And don’t give a body

[quaint mantle]

is there a way to make mobs ignore a specific player

[shadow night]

basically, I need to have a class I can implement/extend to create other classes with certain functions, such as getId(), getItem(), and something like that, but I don't need to be creating a new class each time or having one before because
I can't explain I'm confused as shit now

[icy beacon]

yeah why static????

you are not calling getId() on nothing

[shadow night]

so I don't have to new the class each time

[icy beacon]

it's on something

and that something is already implied to exist if you're calling the method

[shadow night]

I just want a template for my classes

[icy beacon]

it's not like you call a static method "getId()" and it just understands what object for id exactly you want

yeah i guess, gradle is harder for newbies

[wise mesa]

Wdym

Like having that many in your computer?

Is what possible

You have to be more specific

Minecraft is mostly single threaded

The main code at least

Certain parts like the packet handler run on other threads, and even more parts run on other threads on paper

But your plugin can use as many threads as it would like

[livid dove]

So erm interfaces and abstract classes?

[wise mesa]

Maybe what you need is not this

But just one class

With multiple instances for each version

So it can like return it’s id for example

But you would pass that id into the constructor

Instead of having a bunch of classes

Just an idea

[livid dove]

Minecraft is single threaded.

A 15 core cpu running spigot is like having 15 developers thar have to share one pc

[wise mesa]

?

No?

That’s not a good analogy

Do you understand what I said above

[livid dove]

Fight me.

[wise mesa]

Most of Minecraft’s code runs on one thread (similar to one core but not exactly)

A couple things run on some other ones

If you make a plug-in, that plug-in can then use more cores if you want for its own code

[ivory sleet]

Yeah I’d say more than just a couple of things

[wise mesa]

Buts it’s unlikely that will be helpful to your plugin

Sorry didn’t mean it in a rude way

Was literally asking if you understood

Not trying to be harsh or anything 😅

[livid dove]

"Hey Alexa, what are abstract classes and interfaces?"

[icy beacon]

plz don't ping me i'm rather busy rn. i've never worked with eclipse so i can't assist you here

but i bet that there are tutorials you can easily find

i can help you with general maven help but not with eclipse unfortunately

[simple schooner]

U should probably use intellij

[remote swallow]

yeah

just get the community edition

yeah i use it for free

[icy beacon]

i mean it's personal preference so there is no "should/shouldn't"

for me intellij is better yeah

[remote swallow]

in total?

just a bit low

15 hours in one day is gonna lead to burnout

[icy beacon]

15hrs of coding in a day will make you cognitively responsiveless

my record is 13 and i was trying to run away from reality so there was no other rock bottom anyway

[remote swallow]

you should do at a max 10 hours a day and if you can only do 7-8

[icy beacon]

if you are not about to commit blanket please do not code more than like 7-8 hours a day, and even that is quite a reach

[remote swallow]

with breaks between it all

[icy beacon]

^^

now maybe

[remote swallow]

that is gonna lead to really simple bugs

[icy beacon]

afterwards you will feel exhausted

yeah

[remote swallow]

coding while tired is painful

[icy beacon]

you are gonna miss stuff in plain sight because you're really tired

you must have some strong ass motivation and/or coffee

[remote swallow]

go sleep

[icy beacon]

well generally don't code this much and especially stop as soon as you're feeling unwell

'm a coffee addict

good for you

this is concerning fyi

this is not normal

though same

but it's not normal

you might

so it's best to check that as soonas possible

yeah please do

do you live alone

[simple schooner]

Use the community edition

[icy beacon]

live*

mb

[remote swallow]

live probably

[icy beacon]

even regarding actually health??

[mighty pine]

whats the package name of the full bungee jar not just the api on maven

[icy beacon]

shit sorry about that

[simple schooner]

I feel u bro, we live in poverty too

Bro what ur 12?

[icy beacon]

you're starting to code at a finely young age, good for you

[simple schooner]

But thats against discord's tos..

Aight im not gonna snitch

[icy beacon]

tbh i don't give a fuck

if a person is adequate why'd i care

[ocean hollow]

what is the best way to know: "if the player looks at the block of glass for 3 seconds, then ..."

[icy beacon]

discord terms of service say that a user must be 13 or above to use it

[simple schooner]

Lucky you

I tried to code when I was 13 but I have no motivation back then

I regretted quitting

[mighty pine]

You probably just have to check what the player is looking at every tick

[ocean hollow]

i started coding for minecraft in 14

[simple schooner]

I could've been alot better now

[empty basin]

ive got a plugin thats almost done, can a competent java dev PLEASE check it over for me/add some final touches?

[simple schooner]

Same it's only been like 3 days since I'm using it

But I'm currently making my first project now :D

[mighty pine]

Sure

[simple schooner]

Im 15 now lol I think its not too late yet

It'll never be too late

[icy beacon]

check onMove and raytrace from the player, if they are looking at a block of glass, put them in a map<UUID, Int>, which you monitor with a per-tick scheduler and increase the value by 1, when it reaches 60, the player has been looking at a block of glass for 3 seconds
but also make sure to check onMove to see if they are still looking at the block of glass (if they were, but now they aren't, remove them from the list)

[mighty pine]

There might be a look at block event idk just search around

[icy beacon]

no

[empty basin]

check dms plz

[icy beacon]

i started "coding" at 8 and i was doing silly scratch projects, i found python at like 10 or 11 and then i started coding for spigot at 12 or 13

i like my journey

[remote swallow]

atleast skript isnt in it

[quaint mantle]

hello

[simple schooner]

Everyone in a programming community said python was ass

[icy beacon]

don't listen to opinions too much while coding

[simple schooner]

And that I should pick a different language for my 2nd language

[icy beacon]

never a good idea

[quaint mantle]

i want an plugin that allows players to join 1.16.5+ version can someone help me?

[simple schooner]

So yeah I kinda picked java

[remote swallow]

via version and via backwards

[chrome beacon]

#help-server

[quaint mantle]

not working

[icy beacon]

?notworking

[undone axle]

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

[chrome beacon]

It works just fine

[simple schooner]

Via rewind

[chrome beacon]

That's for 1.7?

[simple schooner]

Well they're alot more experienced than me

[chrome beacon]

Python is slow

[simple schooner]

Idk

[chrome beacon]

It's fine for scripting things though

[icy beacon]

python is good for some things and bad for some things

java, too

[chrome beacon]

like automation and such

[icy beacon]

you should pick whatever you feel like picking

you can go learn cobol no one is stopping you

[simple schooner]

Well here I am now

[chrome beacon]

You can earn big money with cobol

[simple schooner]

Already started and I'm kinda liking it

I'm making my first big project now (a hologram plugin which u can edit your hologram through a custom gui)

[icy beacon]

good for you

[icy beacon]

yeah i think it's used in banks or stuff?

[chrome beacon]

Yeah banks still use it

[icy beacon]

just rewrite it with rust

[chrome beacon]

which is why it pays very well

[chrome beacon]

Imagine intruducing a infinite money bug in the bank system

[icy beacon]

lmao

that'd be funny

[chrome beacon]

They aren't taking any risks

Should i just ping md_5

[icy beacon]

no

[flint coyote]

It probably isn't on the repo

[icy beacon]

pinging anybody will not do any good for you most likely

except discorauging the person in question from helping you

[flint coyote]

Just like you can't get an actual spigot.jar from the repo

[mighty pine]

You can just get the spigot jar on maven

At least it containing nms

I need nms on bungee

[icy beacon]

bungee is a proxy with open source code

nms is net.minecraft.server, a name of a package for spigot

what exactly are you trying to do

[chrome beacon]

There is no nms in Bungee... it's a proxy??

[flint coyote]

If it's about the packets you will probably find them under net.md_5.bungee.protocol.packet

a block can't be equal to a material

event.getBlock().getType()

[rain night]

Im currently trying to get colored nametags working, i found out that using the Play.Server.SCOREBOARD_TEAM Packet is best to use. After alot of trial and error i need help with that.

private PacketContainer generateCustomNameTagPacket(Player p, WrappedChatComponent nametag) {
        PacketContainer packet = protocolManager.createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.SCOREBOARD_TEAM);
        packet.getModifier().writeDefaults();
        StructureModifier<WrappedChatComponent> chatcomponentsModifier =  packet.getChatComponents();
        chatcomponentsModifier.writeDefaults();
        String name = UUID.randomUUID().toString().replace("-", "").substring(0, 12);
        packet.getIntegers().writeSafely(1, 0);
        packet.getStrings().writeSafely(0, name);
        chatcomponentsModifier.writeSafely(0, nametag);
        return packet;

Thats my current state of the packet but it doesnt work. I know that the write-operations may fail because of an OutOfBounds Error...

clone the repository and open it in an ide

actually even no need to open it in an ide probably

just clone it with git

and then run the command in the folder

one sec ill build it

you don't need to install gradle in order to use it

just, open a terminal in the cloned folder

and run gradlew build

or ./gradlew build

depends on your OS

[eternal night]

then the first

[empty basin]

can i please have it as a jar?

if thats possible

idk shit

gradlew.bat doesnt wanna build

[river oracle]

this is probably the most I've ever been confused when coding. For some reason my iterator is throwing ConcurrentModificationException... I feel like I'm not getting the full stacktrace here. Something important is being left out because Iterator#next should never throw ConcurrentModificationException.
https://paste.md-5.net/ufarojivuh.md
https://paste.md-5.net/xiyobeqiju.rb

[eternal night]

I mean, looks like a race condition

iterators are not magic

they don't protect you from racing a different thread

[river oracle]

🤔 do iterators update if the list is updated

[eternal night]

Yes, iterators don't clone your list or anything

I mean, technically depends on the iter implementation

[river oracle]

yeah hmm okay that's it

because when looping the array an element could be filled in

I could see a concurrent modification exception in that case

[eternal night]

Like, ArrayList iter is just a fancy counter

[spare hazel]

what is the event for using a hoe on a dirt,grass,podzol block?

[eternal oxide]

interact

[river oracle]

Essentially I'm waiting for a bunch of CompleteableFuture<BigInteger> tasks to finish when all tasks are done I return the resulting BigInteger 🤔. How would you reccomend I go about this I mean before. I would loop the list, but removing from a list while looping it is an issue to say the least

maybe I clone the iterator and remove from the list

[spare hazel]

Is There Any InteractType Enum Or Something?

[echo basalt]

Action

[river oracle]

no

just check for right click and shovel hoe in hand

using the Action enum

[remote swallow]

shovel?

for hoeing?

[stuck flax]

How could you play the chest opening animation to a player

[spare hazel]

one player

[eternal oxide]

then packets

else https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/material/Openable.html#setOpen(boolean)

List<CompletableFuture<BigInteger>> list = new ArrayList<>();
CompletableFuture<Collection<BigInteger>> ints = CompletableFuture.allOf(list.toArray(CompletableFuture[]::new))
    .thenApply(ignored -> Collections2.transform(list, CompletableFuture::join));

works

[spare hazel]

protocollib could work

[eternal night]

https://github.com/spotify/completable-futures/blob/master/src/main/java/com/spotify/futures/CompletableFutures.java#L73

can also go that way

[remote swallow]

lmfao wh at

spotify completeable futures

[eternal night]

ye ?

[remote swallow]

wasnt expecting it

[flint coyote]

Netflix also had some cool libs

[eternal night]

has some nice helpers if you work with it a lot

[river oracle]

hmmm I'd say my issue with this is I want the tasks to stay on their thread until they're done. I'm tracking how many tasks have finished then removing them from the list of futures and adding it to a running total

[eternal night]

they are in that version

thenApply is only executed when all of them finished

allOf awaits all of them / executes if all are finished

[river oracle]

ohhh okay

[eternal night]

given how small the spotify dep is

just shade it

[river oracle]

is that a spotify method xD

[eternal night]

Well

[spare hazel]

who was the person who said why do newbies always use hypixel at the start of their plugins name? im back with another plugin:

public final class HypixelCustomItems extends JavaPlugin {

[remote swallow]

alex

[eternal night]

yea

but it handles the error case nicer

which that one liner doesn't

[remote swallow]

you call remove on the entitiy not the item

sysout the hasCustomEffect var

[river oracle]

hmmm sounds worth it to me

[eternal night]

it is a nice lib if you work a lot with CF

iirc still maintained too ?

yea looks like it

[river oracle]

I use CF a good bit in spigot and non-spigot projects

its my preferred way of Threading in most cases

[eternal night]

Yea then go for it, the lib is like ~7 classes

[river oracle]

I love the CompletableFuture api its so nice to use

[eternal night]

until you have to manage errors

[spare hazel]

should i make a custom item like this?

public class CustomItem implements Item {

it added like 50 methods

[eternal night]

Guess your arror does not have custom effects then

[remote swallow]

so it isnt a custom effect

[remote swallow]

no

[spare hazel]

then how

[remote swallow]

use pdc to identify it

[eternal night]

tipped arrows don't have custom effects

they have the single normal effect

[river oracle]

I don't mind it for errors I think its pretty graceful. I mean you can use Exceptionally or just use whenComplete and push the error out 🤷‍♂️. Granted I don't work with much super complex multi-threaded projects

[remote swallow]

now i bet ur about to say "im on 1.8"

?1.8

[undone axle]

https://howoldisminecraft188.today/

[remote swallow]

the other guy

[eternal night]

just, if you wanna check for tipped arrows

there is a whole interface there

for you to instanceOf against

makes this whole thing a lot easier

[lost matrix]

Cant tell you how often i produced hidden exceptions when i started using CF the first time.

[eternal night]

where ?

[eternal night]

yeaaa xD finding those fuckers is terribly annoying

What was the issue ?

if you obviously also checked for custom effects on those, that would not work out either

[river oracle]

oh god reminds me of my first time using em. I'd do something it just didn't work and i'm like what... no stacktrace??? huh...

[lost matrix]

Show use the code that applies custom effects to your arrows

[eternal night]

they don't

from the looks of it

just normal tipped arrows

looks good ?

yea

it is ?

oh

then ignore me

[eternal oxide]

tipped arrows are just arrows with potion effects

[dire minnow]

@eternal oxide

[eternal night]

the base effect is what you are after then

[river oracle]

hmmm actually just realized. I'm waiting on the main thread to get my CompletableFuture's, I mean I could stall my async thread until I recieve all of them, but I feel like I should be processing them if some of them are in the list

[eternal night]

@EventHandler
public void on(final ProjectileLaunchEvent event) {
    if (event.getEntity() instanceof Arrow arrow && arrow.getBasePotionData().getType() != PotionType.UNCRAFTABLE) {
        arrow.remove();
    }
}

e.g. this

[spare hazel]

i know this isnt realated to the spigot api and everyone is gonna say ?learnjava but is there a way to assign values to enums? like assigning a text and a ChatColor to an enum to use later

[eternal night]

hm ?

[remote swallow]

yeah

[eternal night]

what is the point in "processing" them

if you need the sum

[spare hazel]

how?
edit: lemme guess, ?learnjava

[river oracle]

hmmm actually yeah you're right I'm thinking about the logic of how to sum it wrong. There's no point in summing some of it if I don't have all of the ChunkSnapshots from the main thread yet what good is a half answer

[remote swallow]

public enum Enum {
    COOL("sus", ChatColor.RED);

    String string;
    ChatColor color;

    public Enum(String string, ChatColor color) 
        this.string = string;
        this.color = color;
    }

    // getters
}

[spare hazel]

Alr Thanks

[lost matrix]

Enums can have fields. But you should not create mutable fields in an enum.
Explain why you need this. I suspect an xy problem.

[spare hazel]

Item Rarities

for custom items

[lost matrix]

Ok, go on

Why does your rarity need mutable fields?

(And which fields)

What is the enum used for

[dire minnow]

@remote swallow

[lost matrix]

Any exceptions? Is the listener registered?

[dire minnow]

@lost matrix

[lost matrix]

Add debug messages. Print out the item type

[eternal night]

there is your message

I mean it literally says "hii"

unless I am missing something

[inner mulch]

How do I get only the full number and 1 number after a dot from a double converted to a string? (or is there any other way than converting stuff)

[eternal night]

isn#T that what you wanted ?

[lost matrix]

[eternal night]

why am i not getting the message

I mean

outdated plugin jar in server folder ?

did you mess around there ?

what is your current code

[lost matrix]

You mean actually rounding the number or only displaying them in a String?

[inner mulch]

I want to have the exact number in the background, but the player should only sees the rounded one for less complexity @lost matrix

[ivory sleet]

DecimalFormat

[eternal night]

literally works fine for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lost matrix]

  public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
    double value = 4.12445D;
    String message = "You have %.1f $";
    String formatted = message.formatted(value);
    System.out.println(formatted);
  }

Out

You have 4,1 $

Process finished with exit code 0

This formating uses your Locale

[inner mulch]

thank you

[inner mulch]

thank you

[lost matrix]

The formatting is a more classical approach used in other languages like C.
DecimalFormat gives you a bit more freedom when it comes to the actual format.

[inner mulch]

okay :D

[lost matrix]

So this works, right?

[ivory gale]

Hello!

Can someone explain to me why I can't use the Player#performCommand() method to open a menu from for example DeluxeMenus or ChestCommands? It always say Unknown command, even if it works manually... Does this have anything to do with the fact that commands are often defined in the file and not directly recorded in the plugin.yml?

Thanks!

[native bramble]

discord srv does not let players join to the server until it is fully loaded. how i can do this?

[young knoll]

Show the command

[lost matrix]

Do you prepend your command with a "/"?

[young knoll]

^

I don't remember if you need the / or not for performCommand

[ivory gale]

Oh, well, let me try it

But no, it works with any other command so I think it's not necessary

[young knoll]

Deluxe commands may not properly register commands

[upper hazel]

I'm making a block regeneration plugin and would like to know if it's reasonable to just save the locations in the database or in a file and after introducing what real /regen command to compare through the for loop?))

[young knoll]

That's what coreprotect does

With some optimization to save space of course

[upper hazel]

lol really?

[lost matrix]

Regeneration of worlds is a pretty hard task. Simply looping over all locations and restoring them might
very well crash the server.

[ivory gale]

Looks like it's the same for several menu plugins unfortunately...
Even more surprisingly, DeluxeMenus can't open my menu by command (even though it's registered in the usual way in the plugin.yml file and with registerCommand()), but ChestCommands can.That's some pretty strange behaviour

[lost matrix]

But thats essentially coreprotects approach.
They get the query from a DB and restore them over time

[upper hazel]

so this is why i want know you have idea how optimatzation this

[young knoll]

the only option for?

[young knoll]

Well

[upper hazel]

"for"

[young knoll]

Coreprotect maps each block state to an int to save space

I believe they also map each player to an int for the same reason

[lost matrix]

You can tackle it however you want. Just make sure to not do everything in one tick.
And you should group all blocks that are in the same chunk.

[lost matrix]

Ah thats a good idea

This way you can locally cache a Map<Integer, BlockState>

[young knoll]

It also means you only need to store the int in the db

does anyone have any idea how I could make totem packets always register before death packets?

[upper hazel]

i dont undestand how numbers help

[lost matrix]

You mean on the client side?

[icy beacon]

hey, I've always been curious about what approach is the best for map regenerating, like if I was making a plugin for bedwars. my current idea of how this can be done is with saving the world in a different folder and then just copying it. are there better practices for this or is this one basically the go-to?

[upper hazel]

but I realized that such plugins eat a lot

[lost matrix]

Its just caching Bukkit.createBlockData(String) because thats expensive

[young knoll]

Plus int is smaller than varchar

[upper hazel]

hey how obaut delete oldWorld end create new void world with structure]

"regeneration"

for skywars

[lost matrix]

This is a common problem. Loading a clean world from a template would be my way to go
if spigots world loading wouldnt block the main thread with IO.

[quaint mantle]

server side if it's possible

[lost matrix]

The server doesnt register any death nor totem packets...

[quaint mantle]

oh ok mb I'm still learning

[lost matrix]

What is your general problem

[quaint mantle]

ocasionally totems "ghost" when you offhand them just before you take enough damage to kill you, which results in the totem not registering, but still showing as being in your offhand in the respawn screen

I wanted to see if its possible to stop this

[quaint mantle]

Apparently its because the totem packet sometimes get sent after the death packet

[upper hazel]

bukkit api is not a good tool for big projects

[lost matrix]

This sounds like some plugin fks up your totems. That should never happen in vanilla mc.

[quaint mantle]

It's a known thing that happens in vanilla minecraft, it mainly happens in gamemodes like crystal pvp

There are even mods that fake totem ghosting: https://modrinth.com/mod/minecraft-ghost-totem

If two classes always come together, is there some way to make a "combined generic"?
For example I have:
Class A extends Letter
Class B extends Letter
Class AConfig extends Config<A>
Class BConfig extends Config<B>

Is there a way to combine
Class MyClass<L extends Letter, C extends Config<L>>
to something like
Class MyClass<X extends *object that represents combination of letter and config*>
and use that reasonably? Maybe something like a wrapper?

Or should I just stick with specifying both even if AConfig only comes with A and same for B?

[lost matrix]

I feel like im missing information in this question

[rose trail]

Is it possible to make an event be sent to only one consumer in Apache Kafka?

[pseudo hazel]

in what?

[flint coyote]

I tried to ask a generic as possible. I'm using this for inventories that modify ConfigurationSerializables that all extend the same class.
All of the relevant (config) files also extend the same class.

Now I want an Inventory to edit all types of those ConfigurationSerializables.

Basically:
public abstract class FieldEditInventory<A extends Configurable, C extends ConfigurableConfig<A>> extends InventoryGUI {

[pseudo hazel]

in pub sub you dont usually do that, but if you must you would sent like a name or id of the one you want to message

[lost matrix]

Use a topic with only one subscriber?

[rose trail]

I should have a couple of them, but only one should be consumed

[flint coyote]

Just for clarification, it does work like that but it feels like I'm duplicating information. So I was wondering if there is another way

[sterile breach]

Hello, with placehoder api. if I have an extenre plugin that displays my placeholder. Knowing that the placeholder changes often, will it update automatically?

[ivory sleet]

Ehm

What exactly are you trying

[lost matrix]

class LetterConfigWrapper<L extends Letter, C extends Config<L>> {
    private L letter;
    private C config;

    public LetterConfigWrapper(L letter, C config) {
        this.letter = letter;
        this.config = config;
    }
    ...

->
Class MyClass<X extends LetterConfigWrapper<?, ?>>

I guess? Im not 100% i understand the question

[ivory sleet]

I feel like you over engineered this with generics

but that might just be me

[flint coyote]

I just don't want to duplicate the code for editing the fields so I try to have one generic class for all of them

[lost matrix]

Not in spigot. I think there is a lib that does it.

[smoky oak]

i think u can use the inventoryChangeEvent

[ivory sleet]

Well having X<C extends Config<L>,L extends Letter>> is reasonable

Since there are essentially 2 types you construct from

But as said

This feels very over engineered

I would try not to go with a transparent bivariant design or whatever u call those

[lost matrix]

Go away with your lingo. You had type theory this semester or what?

[ivory sleet]

Lmaooo

[flint coyote]

lol

[ivory sleet]

#1100941063058894868 message this guy had a similar problem

[flint coyote]

I was basically hoping for one generic that can then derive the other.

[ivory sleet]

Or well “design issue”

[echo basalt]

adapter moment

[ivory sleet]

I mean one way is to just have C extends Config<?>

[flint coyote]

public abstract class FieldEditInventory<C extends Configurable, B extends BaseField, D extends ConfigurableConfig<C, B>> extends InventoryGUI {

Because this looks meh

[ivory sleet]

or just if u dont need the C type go with <L extends Letter> and then just use Config<L>

[icy beacon]

so what do you do then?

[ivory sleet]

This looks like typescript

And java isnt structurally typed

So big issue

[lost matrix]

Fork spigot and load worlds non-blocking

[icy beacon]

fair enough, I'm working on a personal project onyway

[lost matrix]

How about, we finally look into this and see if we can pr something reasonable.

[ivory sleet]

Thats a big pr

But would be nice

[lost matrix]

World loading and deleting was an issue since i started

[ivory sleet]

Yeah I think the api is a bit too scarce thats just it

[flint coyote]

Hmm but I need to know those classes to access to be able to call methods with the right fields in the right config.
It would probably work like that but the same Configurable always comes with the same Config and the same BaseField(s) so it's kinda dumb having to specify all three

[ivory sleet]

You just over engineer it as I mentioned a couple of times

A class needing more than 3 type parameters is rarely ever a sustainable design

[flint coyote]

Yes I like over engineering if it saves me from duplicating a function

[ivory sleet]

But even 3 is kinda

[ivory sleet]

No its not about DRY

Pretty sure you can solve it w/o having tons of type parameters

[mighty pine]

container classes

[smoky oak]

its not that difficult, i think. Let me check somethin

[ivory sleet]

Hmm?

[mighty pine]

Like a class to just hold multiple things

[ivory sleet]

Record

[flint coyote]

I might be able to save on some generics when implementing the right functions in those classes. I'll review it again. Thx

[ocean hollow]

why i have this problem

[lost matrix]

Was prd and rejected i think.

[ivory sleet]

array, Map, Set etc

[mighty pine]

Or generics e z

[ivory sleet]

No

Java isnt structurally typed

So having that is just a big no no

[icy beacon]

though, what's a valid approach without making a fork? I am indeed considering forking it for personal use but I'm wondering what can be done with just spigot to approach this problem
