[unkempt peak]

I wonder if they made spigot in netbeans

[quaint mantle]

Unfortunately, yes

I say unfortunately, because most people use the wildcard as it is

Just '*'

Which is, in terms of security, lamentable

Is more powerfull than having OP

You can still limit OP permissions, but you can't limit single * wildcard permission

[ocean hollow]

why i have it?

[quiet ice]

Cancels mom?

[ocean hollow]

menu))

[quiet ice]

In layman's terms I got no clue what your issue is

[tall dragon]

"doesnt work" isnt very informative

[compact haven]

you send 3 screenshots of code

[unkempt peak]

Maybe the issue is their mom

[compact haven]

with like 5 words

[unkempt peak]

I don't even bother looking at screenshots anymore

Like is it really that much work to click a link and ctrl c ctrl v

[quiet ice]

Does it even reach the openStash call?

[shadow night]

can a plugin know the players language?

[quiet ice]

Yes

[shadow night]

like, the language set in the client

[quiet ice]

#local in paper

[quiet ice]

Under spigot idk

[shadow night]

hmm

[ocean hollow]

when it closes, the menu continues its work, if you hide it, the menu closes

[quiet ice]

My bandwidth is limited - not going to open that

[shadow night]

Player#getLocale() it seems

or I'm dumb

[unkempt peak]

?paste@ocean hollow

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[quiet ice]

I'd still use the paper method if possible though as idk what the spigot method returns

[eternal night]

A string

so I guess parse a local from there ?

[quiet ice]

Well it returns a string but idk the format of it

[shadow night]

a string, probably en_us format

[quiet ice]

Yeah probably that one

[shadow night]

ru_ru, en_us, de_de

en_gb

[quiet ice]

But how will it represent the conlangs?

[shadow night]

conlangs?

[ocean hollow]

https://paste.md-5.net/yafopemoco.java - stash class

[mortal hare]

ah, the internet

[lost matrix]

[ocean hollow]

?

[quiet ice]

Reversed English, lolcat, etc

[shadow night]

well, reversed english will be something like su_ne ig

[quiet ice]

Or the pirate thing

[mortal hare]

yikes

[lost matrix]

Woops wrong ping

[lost matrix]

Static abuse of the absolute highest order.
This leads to inevitable chaos.

[quiet ice]

:knife:

[ocean hollow]

what will happen

[tall dragon]

sounds like smile is judging for some crime here 😂

[quiet ice]

Meh, static local vars would be worse

[shadow night]

en_pr maybe?

[quiet ice]

Although HM<Player, V> is enough bad already

[shadow night]

HashMap

I have 5 utility classes, all fully static

[quiet ice]

Always use Map instead of HM if possible heh

[shadow night]

what even is the differnece

[ocean hollow]

does it matter where they are placed? I could make a DataManager with these values ​​stored

[quiet ice]

You can swap out the map impl while conserving ABI

Just in case you need a CHM

[tall dragon]

one of ur problems is that u are storing "Player" objects, these can become stale and lead to "memory leaks" if you dont handle them properly and i suspect you dont.

[quiet ice]

Yeah these aren't really mem leaks

[ocean hollow]

the problem is that I'm not accessing the players via UUID?

[tall dragon]

thats why i put it in " " 😒

[spare hazel]

how can i check if the players inventory is full

[lost matrix]

This is a bit hard to decypher. I would suggest that you try to follow this in your next project:

• Dont use static. And i mean at all.
• Make all fields private
• Dont create any getters for Lists, Sets, Maps or other collections

This will greatly improve your understanding of java and how to write robust code.

[shadow night]

Bukkit.getPlayer(uuid) be like (or what was it?)

[quiet ice]

You are not storing data via UUIDs to be more precise

[lost matrix]

First you need to define what full means in your context

[quiet ice]

Hence the yeah

[spare hazel]

all the main inventory slots(9 main, 27 additional) are filled with any item. no matter what theres an item of the same type im adding,

[ocean hollow]

What is static for?

[quiet ice]

Then do not use static

Don't use what you do not understand

[spare hazel]

i believe its for making a method accesible without creating an instance of the class

[quiet ice]

This is worded misleadingly

It isn't accessible per-se, it just means you do not need an instance of the class to invoke it on

[ocean hollow]

Well, it seems to me that this is more convenient than creating a Data class and passing it to others

[spare hazel]

can someone help me with this?

[tall dragon]

yea thats just the thing. its easy in the beginning

that does not mean its a good idea

[lost matrix]

function hasFullInventory(Player player):
    content = player.getInventory().getContents()
    for each item in content:
        if item is null:
            return false
        material = item.getType()
        if material is Air:
            return false
        if item.getAmount() < material.getMaxStackSize():
            return false
    return true

Here is the pseudo code representation of what you need to do.
The check for max stack size is optional

[quiet ice]

That is the (synthetic) parameter this disappears when using static

[remote swallow]

kotlin smh

[spare hazel]

there must be a built-in method

[quiet ice]

I don't think there is

[tall dragon]

there is but that does not support any present items of the same type

which most people want

[lost matrix]

There are multiple definitions of when an inventory is considered as full. So ther is none.

[spare hazel]

i need this

[lost matrix]

You literally just loop through the inventory and check if any slot is empty

[spare hazel]

does .isEmpty() return true when there is empty space on the inventory?

[tall dragon]

PlayerInventory#getFirstEmpty() != -1 would always check if the player has at least one empty slot

[quiet ice]

With streams that is a one-liner!

[tall dragon]

idk if thats even still present in the api

[quiet ice]

If it wasn't deprecated at any point: why would it get removed?

[tall dragon]

idk, i never programmed much on higher than 1.12 so i woulnt know

[spare hazel]

i believe essentialsx has a good implementation for this. leme go check their code

[tall dragon]

essentials has bassically the same thing smile sent you

[quiet ice]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot

[quiet ice]

You are defo overcomplicating the problem

[spare hazel]

but its not a prototype and its actual code

[tall dragon]

???

[vocal cloud]

are we talking about this? https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/Inventory.html#firstEmpty()

[remote swallow]

just call get getFirstEmpty() on the inv and check if its -1

its not hard

[tall dragon]

so u just yoink all your code from finished projects then ? this makes little sense

[lost matrix]

  public boolean hasFullInventory(Player player) {
    return player.getInventory().firstEmpty() == -1;
  }

  public boolean hasFullInventory(Player player) {
    ItemStack[] content = player.getInventory().getContents();
    for(ItemStack item : content) {
      if(item == null || item.getType().isAir()) {
        return false;
      }
    }
    return true;
  }

Both of those are viable

[quiet ice]

Yep

[vocal cloud]

isn't the item supposed to never be air? I think I looked at stash and it was always set to null. Spigot is very weird with this

[lost matrix]

Hand item is air

[vocal cloud]

Why

I wish they'd remove null and replace with air

[tall dragon]

which one

cave_air or air ?

xD

[lost matrix]

if(inventory.isAir())

[remote swallow]

cave air

[tall dragon]

like why have 2 seperate airs

[quiet ice]

Regardless: better safe than sorry

[spare hazel]

one is for cave ambient noises

[tall dragon]

and surely there was no better way to do that right

[quiet ice]

Wait until we get misty_air in the "swampy & spooky" update (mc 1.36)

[tall dragon]

yep im waiting for it

[shadow night]

1.13 was 2.0

because breaking changes

[tall dragon]

right after the "stalker" gets added that annoys the fuk out of you when you sleep too much

[quiet ice]

Every ver is breaking

[lost matrix]

And leprechauns that randomly switch items in your sorted chests

[shadow night]

we'd have like 20.0 at this point then

[tall dragon]

lmfaooo noooo

[quiet ice]

Haha, almost didn't read that properly

[tall dragon]

[quiet ice]

And thought you referred to phantoms

[lost matrix]

👀

Imagine needing little mouse traps so mice dont eat all your grain...
I could cook up so many annoying things in mc

[smoky oak]

like yggdrasil?

[tall dragon]

i found it so funny whena gamerule was added to disable phantoms

like even minecraft knows it was a shit idea

[quiet ice]

<dangerous illness> sim when?

[lost matrix]

"You got a headache and cant mine because its too loud"

[spare hazel]

kinda a dumb question but how would i register a command executor for a command?

i forgor

[lost matrix]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/create-a-simple-command/

[smoky oak]

theres a bukkit method where you put in the command name as in your config and then the class that extends the executor

[spare hazel]

alr thanks

[lost matrix]

You like Jared Leto?

[smoky oak]

wym?

[lost matrix]

Wasnt he this vampire marvel thingy?

[smoky oak]

no idea

i dont care much for marvel anyways

[lost matrix]

wdym. Why did you name yourself after this cringe vampire marvel movie with Jared Leto then...

[smoky oak]

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE

my name is older than the damn movie

every time urgh

[lost matrix]

Im just fking with you

[smoky oak]

fair

any idea how to get rid of yggdrasil tho?

[wet breach]

Delete it

[lost matrix]

chop it with a giant axe

[smoky oak]

well yea but how

oh wait do u know what i even mean

#help-server message see here

[quiet ice]

Just use a Firewall

[smoky oak]

hm thats an idea

can i just block all outgoing connections of a folder or smth

im under windows

[quiet ice]

echo "yggdrasil-server 127.0.0.1" > dev/hosts or something like that

[spare hazel]

was excited to test my new plugin but then i remembered that i didnt register the listeners 😐

[smoky oak]

ah well that'd solve the yggdrasil one but not the potential others there are

i really need a general solution

also that'd probably screw the servers that i want to connect to the net

locality's an issue here

[quiet ice]

Install a security manager :blobsecurity:

[hollow sundial]

In the HopperInventorySearchEvent, how can I tell if this was triggered by a hopper or a minecart? How should I get this hopper minecart?

[smoky oak]

i think you can get the inventory it came from and check what that inventory belongs to

[lost matrix]

Get the Inventory -> Get the Holder -> Check if its instanceof BlockInventoryHolder or HopperMinecart

[hollow sundial]

I think the inventory provided by the event is the container's inventory not the hopper's

[lost matrix]

Ah makes sense. Let me check the event again

[lost matrix]

Looks like this event might only be fired for hopper blocks?
It extends BlockEvent which means getBlock() should return the hopper.

[primal goblet]

Hello, i'm making a hologram armorstands using nms packets
showing the armorstand to the player and make it visible bla bla bla
and everything is working perfect, and the issue is when i go too far and the chunk that includes the armorstand made in packets unload and then i go back to the armorstand and the chunk loads again the armorstand will not be visible again, so what's the issue is?
and i can provide a code if needed.

[lost matrix]

Are you sure that its a virtual armorstand?
Do you hide the hologram if a chunk unloads?

[hollow sundial]

I've tested that the hopper minecart triggers too, it's weird

[lost matrix]

What does getBlock() return in case of a minecart?

[primal goblet]

i'm 100% sure the armorstand is made using packets.

this.armorStand = new EntityArmorStand(((CraftWorld) loc.getWorld()).getHandle()); // that's the armorstand.
// ========
PacketPlayOutSpawnEntityLiving spawn = new PacketPlayOutSpawnEntityLiving(this.armorStand);
((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(spawn); // and that's how i show the armorstand to the player.
``` hopefully this helps, btw the armorstand and the player 100% is a true value and nothing wrong with the code

there's a more code for titles.. etc

[sterile breach]

hello i have a probleme in inventory.

if(event.getCurrentItem().equals(new ItemStack(Material.SPAWNER))) {

i click on a spawner but no. This condition return false every times. i did a mistake?

[hollow sundial]

The block where the hopper minecart is located

[shadow night]

nobody ever forgets schnitzel

[lost matrix]

oof. That sounds like a bad design choice.
Well then get the nearest minecart in that block.

[lost matrix]

When do you hide holograms?

[primal goblet]

i don't hide the armorstand by any chance, when the player leave the server the hologram will be destroyed

[hollow sundial]

This is bad if many hopper minecarts are in the same block:(

[lost matrix]

What version are you on?

[primal goblet]

1.8.x

[sullen marlin]

Lol

[lost matrix]

Ask someone else for help then

[wet breach]

Depending how its done, not necessarily true. Visually it may go away but if you dont take care of some code it may still technically exist

[primal goblet]

did i something wrong?

[sullen marlin]

?1.8

[undone axle]

https://howoldisminecraft188.today/

[lost matrix]

^

[primal goblet]

nonsense the players wants a 1.8 pvp server sadly

[sullen marlin]

Maybe there's a new event, maybe it's fixed, but who knows because you're living 8 years in the past

[lavish hemlock]

Use ViaVersion.

Or ProtocolSupport.
Or a 1.8 combat restoration plugin.

[lost matrix]

1.8 is a minority bubble community.
The audience is shrinking with each day.
1.8 has its place but asking for support on software that
is almost a decade old is what bothers me.

[smoky oak]

isnt there old versions of the api online

[primal goblet]

*sad hypixel noises*

[smoky oak]

https://helpch.at/docs/1.8.8/

[shadow night]

1.12.2 has such a low percentage???

[lost matrix]

What do you mean low? Its on par with 1.8
And apearantly this is the biggest community in mc 🙂

[pseudo hazel]

well 1.20 is clearly just normies so yeah

[smoky oak]

honestly unless its 1.12 or 1.8 your mc version equals the power of your computer

[shadow night]

lol

I remember my friend would play 1.15 and 1.12.2- because his computer was shit

[smoky oak]

[smoky oak]

nah it's '1.9+ is shit'

[shadow night]

Because pvp

I like 1.7.10

Modding

[vocal cloud]

I just wish people would stop trying to be Hypixel and make something new and unique

[smoky oak]

im not trying to copy hypixel but im not doing minigames much either

[vocal cloud]

Like, yes with 1.20 you can't perfectly replicate 1.8 PvP. However, there is just so much more you can do with 1.20 that makes 1.8 look like a cheap knockoff.

[smoky oak]

well u cant have stable UPS with 1.20

[vocal cloud]

UPS?

[lost matrix]

Not viable with 1.20

[vocal cloud]

Apparently not. Well back to the true best version beta 1.2

[smoky oak]

eh i prefere 1.5.2

[lost matrix]

Does he mean tps maybe?

[smoky oak]

maybe

[onyx fjord]

i saw this collect money from mcdonalds

[sullen marlin]

1.7.3 beta was pretty sick

[smoky oak]

cant remember what the right name was

[vocal cloud]

Buy a better CPU & RAM™️

[lost matrix]

In that case: You can optimize a lot in 1.20
The heaviest things are vanilla features like giant chunks
with a ton of tickables in them. If you have minigames
then that does literally not matter. Just learn how to optimize
the game for your needs.

[lilac dagger]

why so?

oh nvm, you're most likely trolling haha

[sullen marlin]

It added pistons

[lilac dagger]

oh

i don't know much about the beta, i just remembered playing uhm 1.4

the version potatos and carrots were added

[chrome beacon]

I started playing Minecraft in 1.5

[livid dove]

People always forget hypixel is hypixel because they did a load of cool shit slowly.

Then everyone and their mum tries to recreate it from scratch and it ends up unoriginal as you cannot realistically create something that vast without the cheat of copying

[shadow night]

I personally never tried recreating hypixel

Because that is the most unnecessary shit ever

Method invocation 'getAttributeModifiers' may produce 'NullPointerException'
how can i prevent this? it does produce NullPointerException but i want the MultiMap for attribute modifiers

[lavish hemlock]

That is an IntelliJ warning telling you that invoking that method can cause a NullPointerException to occur
Check that the instance you're invoking the method on isn't null

[spare hazel]

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(material);
        ItemMeta itemMeta = item.getItemMeta();

this is the code im using it in

[remote swallow]

do you get an npe

[lavish hemlock]

I gave you the answer, man :p

[shadow night]

It says that because ItemMeta could be null I think

[spare hazel]

yeah

[spare hazel]

but its not

[shadow night]

I always just put a if(itemMeta == null) return; just to remove the warning

Hi, I want to ban one nbt tag when setting up a stand! At first I found information about Persistent Data Container, but it does not work with nbt tags from minecraft. I've also seen nbtcompound, but I don't have it. I tried the netapi and powernbt libraries, but each did not want to work in its own way, I did as they have on the wiki. How can I remove the "Pos" tag from Armor stand in the playerinteractevent event? Below is the nbtapi error who is interested (2.11.2)
https://i.ibb.co/X29py7t/18.png
https://i.ibb.co/RHqSP0J/20.png

change the code to ```java

Multimap<Attribute, AttributeModifier> modifiers;

} else {
modifiers = ArrayListMultimap.create();
}

[wide dune]

Anyone got a clue how I could go about making blast proof glass like in hypixel? I have adjusted the hardness of the glass very high, so when tnt is placed behind glass it works (like this https://i.imgur.com/WFWI2cW.png)
However when tnt is placed on an edge (like this https://i.imgur.com/GB6Ibkr.png) the wool breaks when the tnt blows up. Any suggestions?

[livid dove]

Is there a tnt blows the hell up event?

[smoky oak]

thats cuz a ray goes through that without hitting the glass

look up explosion rays

[young knoll]

Yeah there’s an event

But just removing the glass from the event won’t prevent it from destroying the wool behind the glass

[wide dune]

^^

[native bramble]

Particle.SOUL has variations - https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Particles#Particle_textures
How can i spawnParticle only with 1 variant?

[wide dune]

Yeah its really puzzling me

I was going to ray trace it but the actual distance between the two doesnt seem to detect the glass because its on a corner

so there isnt technically a block inbetween them

[median berry]

sand soul?

[smoky oak]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Particle.html

you can just spawn a particle

[native bramble]

yeah

[smoky oak]

you dont need extra data unless its a particle that has variations

[native bramble]

yeah but its spawns different types of this particke

[smoky oak]

thats still the same particle

just scaled and rotated

[native bramble]

i tried to getDataType

but its return me Void

[native bramble]

no

soul sand has brown souls and blue souls

[native bramble]

u can see in this link

[smoky oak]

im pretty sure thats a timing thing you cant affect

[young knoll]

It might be possible with packets

I think there’s a seed

[native bramble]

also my particles spawns in different locations

also in different y

@EventHandler
    public void onEntityDead(EntityDeathEvent e){
        LivingEntity entity = e.getEntity();
        if(entity.getType() != EntityType.DROWNED) return;
        Location loc = e.getEntity().getEyeLocation();
        System.out.println(loc);
        entity.getWorld().spawnParticle(Particle.SOUL, loc, 3, 0,0,0, 1);
    }

offset is 0

[shadow night]

The middle of a block is 0.5 iirc

[native bramble]

yeah i know this

but particles spawn in different locations

not in one

[shadow night]

That's how particles work ig

[native bramble]

also if i put count = 1 i dont see any particle

[full holly]

What's the difference between the profile field and the serializedProfile field?

[lost matrix]

One contains the profile as an nbt compound.
Why would you need to worry about that? Dont touch either.

[full holly]

Cannot invoke "net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound.equals(Object)" because "this.serializedProfile" is null

[lost matrix]

Dont touch those fields

Why do you want to edit those fields?

[full holly]

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

[full holly]

I edited the profile field so I can set the texture

[lost matrix]

Spigot has an api for that. No need to use reflections or nms.

[full holly]

is that new?

[lost matrix]

Not really. Has been here for at least a year

Probably longer now

BlockDropItemEvent

[spare hazel]

nvm i will just spawn an item at the block's location on the BlockBreakEvent

[opal juniper]

i mean this is arguably better because then you can do:

@NotNull List<@Nullable Object>

a bit easier

[lost matrix]

Or, you just use the BlockDropItemEvent...

Have the new versions already removed nbtcompound? I just don't have it for some reason

No

1. Are you using full spigot (with NMS)

[smoky oak]

thats the --remapped thing right?

[median berry]

I tried to find out what the problem was, I even added the spigot 1.18.2 kernel to the project, but there was nothing related to nms or nbt tags

[median berry]

Okay

[spare hazel]

e.getBlock().getWorld().dropItem(e.getBlock().getLocation(), new ItemStack(e.getBlock().getType()));

why isnt this working

no errors no nothing

[chrome beacon]

Show the entire method

💀

[spare hazel]

?

[chrome beacon]

Variables exist

[spare hazel]

yes i know

and im lazy

[chrome beacon]

That takes longer than creating variables though

[spare hazel]

ctrl+c ctrl+v

[chrome beacon]

Anyways make sure it passes your if statements

also what's the point of that code

[spare hazel]

doubling the drops of wood

[chrome beacon]

Don't cancel the event for that

[spare hazel]

public class DuperAxe extends CustomItem {
    private ArrayList<Material> allowedBlocks = new ArrayList<>();

    {
        setId("DUPER_AXE");
        setMaterial(Material.STONE_AXE);
        setName("Duper Axe");
        setRarity(Rarity.RARE);
        setAdditionalLore("Double Wood Drops!");

        addStat(Stat.SPEED, 10);
        addStat(Stat.HEALTH, 5);

        allowedBlocks.add(Material.OAK_LOG);
        allowedBlocks.add(Material.BIRCH_LOG);
        allowedBlocks.add(Material.DARK_OAK_LOG);
        allowedBlocks.add(Material.JUNGLE_LOG);
        allowedBlocks.add(Material.ACACIA_LOG);
        allowedBlocks.add(Material.SPRUCE_LOG);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent e){
        if(!allowedBlocks.contains(e.getBlock().getType())){
            e.setCancelled(true);
            return;
        }
        e.getBlock().getWorld().dropItem(e.getBlock().getLocation(), new ItemStack(e.getBlock().getType()));
    }
}```

[chrome beacon]

You can just edit the drops directly

[spare hazel]

im cancelling to prevent breaking any other block with this axe

[spare hazel]

BlockDropItemEvent?

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

[median berry]

There is no <version>1.18.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
only 1.20

[spare hazel]

alr

[chrome beacon]

?

They both exist

[spare hazel]

you didnt use buildtools on 1.18.2

[chrome beacon]

That's not what the guide tells you to use though

you put spigot-api instead of spigot

[chrome beacon]

Did you run build tools like the guide told you to

[median berry]

wait

In terminal?

[chrome beacon]

Yes

so you skipped step 1 and complained that it isn't working 💀

[median berry]

The problem is that I don't really know English

Especially in the field of coding

[spare hazel]

how can i add block drops using BlockDropItemEvent Exactly?.

[median berry]

wait

[chrome beacon]

You need to be in the folder with the BuildTools jar

[flint coyote]

wrong folder?

[median berry]

I just forgot to download XD

[flint coyote]

🥲

[spare hazel]

bump

[flint coyote]

You can't directly. You'd have to manually drop items

[chrome beacon]

In this case you can

[median berry]

If i drop buildutils in external libs this can work?

[spare hazel]

how?

[chrome beacon]

Since they want to double the existing drop

You can just get the existing drop and increase it's amount

[flint coyote]

Oh I did not read about that. Only the last question

[spare hazel]

i dont think thats gonna work...

[flint coyote]

Well it's an item and it has getItemStack.
ItemStack has a setAmount()

So it could work

[chrome beacon]

Well try it and see

[smoky oak]

you may not remove itemstacks

the itemstacks can be mutated

*add

[flint coyote]

You can remove them. You aren't allowed to add any

[smoky oak]

yea i mistyped

[spare hazel]

e.getItems.set(0, (Item) new ItemStack(e.getBlock.getType(), 2))?

[flint coyote]

no

[median berry]

So, I download buildutils

[smoky oak]

you have to mutate the itemstack i think

[flint coyote]

Get an item, get the item stack and set the amount

[spare hazel]

is there any examples on the web for this or something

[flint coyote]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Item.html#getItemStack()

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/ItemStack.html#setAmount(int)

[spare hazel]

but the e.getItems() only accepts Item interfaces

[flint coyote]

You are not supposed to add anything to that list

[spare hazel]

wait im dumb

[flint coyote]

Take one from the list and go through the functions mentioned above

[spare hazel]

e.getItems.get(0).getItemStack().setAmount(2)

[flint coyote]

yes

[spare hazel]

thank you so much

[flint coyote]

Keep in mind that the list might be empty or have multiple items (breaking a chest). So you need additional checks. But basically that's what you do

And if you want to take fortune into account you should set the amount to getAmount()*2

[spare hazel]

that did absolutely nothing

e.getItems().get(0).getItemStack().setAmount(2);

lemme just spawn the item

its so hard to code with 6gb of ram and 2 cpu cores omg

[chrome beacon]

2 cores 👀

[spare hazel]

its a 10yo asuz laptop

[shadow night]

what was the cpu with 2 cores called

I forgot

[spare hazel]

and when i had to choose between a gen Z latop and an xbox...

[simple schooner]

Bro I have worse pc

[shadow night]

exactly what I want, thanks

[simple schooner]

8 year old 4 gb ddr3 200 gb HDD no gpu dusty motherboard shitty cpu

It can barely run intellij and google at the same time

[chrome beacon]

You can probably upgrade that

[simple schooner]

😭

[chrome beacon]

Add some more ram

[simple schooner]

The problem is, I don't have money lol

[chrome beacon]

DDR3 is very cheap

Since it's so old

[simple schooner]

Yeah I know

Theres like 5 dollars 8 gb ddr3 ram

[spare hazel]

what is the difference of dropping an item vs droping an item natuaraly

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, naturally just gives it a random offset

Think more like what happens when you break a block. It kinda sputters off at a random offset

Should have been a boolean parameter tbh, but meh. Old Bukkit

[flint coyote]

Could add a third method with the boolean and deprecate the old ones

[worldly ingot]

Nah. Not at all worth it

It would be a trivial change with practically zero benefit

[flint coyote]

Well then add an offset parameter to it - there's your benefit :p

[small iron]

Can anyone teach me command encoding of more than 2 words? Like:
/kits create . . .
/gm setup

*command more than 2 words🗿. Yes, I don't know the term

[quaint mantle]

I have a plugin that plays a sound when 🗿 is in the chat, It scared me out lmao

[median berry]

@chrome beacon Thx for help, now I have nbttagcompound

[simple schooner]

You mean adding prefixes

??

[small iron]

Yep😅

[simple schooner]

Try to use switch statements

Idk seems like it'll do the job

Check if the user gives an arguement

Then use switch statements to check if that argument is the thing u wanted

Like "create"

"Setup"

Tbh I don't really know if that works lol

I'm just a mere beginner

Seems like it'll do the job though

Sorry for the terrible explanation, my english isn't fluent.

Or idk maybe theres a better way? Ig so

[smoky oak]

better than if else chains

[simple schooner]

What my way?

[smoky oak]

yea

switch is slightly bigger but has constant access time

if-else is done sequentially

switch just jumps

[simple schooner]

Holy shit I used my brain for the first time

[primal goblet]

i'm trying to spawn an entity armorstand w/ nms packets
everything works fine, but when i go far away like 100 blocks away or so
the armorstand disappeared for no reason
that's my code:

Location loc = this.location.toBukkitLocation();
        World worldServer = ((CraftWorld) loc.getWorld()).getHandle();
        this.armorStand = new EntityArmorStand(worldServer);
        this.armorStand.setLocation(loc.getX(), loc.getY(), loc.getZ(), loc.getYaw(), loc.getPitch());
        this.armorStand.setGravity(false);
        this.armorStand.setCustomNameVisible(true);
        this.armorStand.setCustomName(Major.C(this.text));
        this.armorStand.setInvisible(true);
        this.armorStand.setSmall(true);
        // this.rainbowCheck(hologram);
        ((CraftLivingEntity) this.armorStand.getBukkitEntity()).setRemoveWhenFarAway(false);
        worldServer.addEntity(this.armorStand);
``` and the line `worldServer.addEntity(this.armorStand);` when i add it the armorstand disappears so i put a comment behind it

[smoky oak]

isnt that entirely dependent on client entity distance when it does?

[lilac dagger]

you might wanna look into entity tracker

[primal goblet]

can you explain more? cuz i have no clue what are you talking about

[lilac dagger]

all the entities are tracked by a class and when they're far away they get despawned from players

you must circumvent your problem in there

[primal goblet]

uhmm i can do something like check if the player go far away and comeback
but why the armorstand disappears when i go far? i tried to check the events or the chunks

[small iron]

I previously used this

plugin.yml
commands:
create:
description: abcde
usage: /kh create <argument>
#same in below

That doesn't seem to be the right thing🥴

[lilac dagger]

as i told you, they are removed from players who are far away

you need to edit the entity tracker

[primal goblet]

Me have no clue tbh, is that something in spigot api?

[lilac dagger]

onpe, it's in nms

[primal goblet]

I'll give it a shot

Is there a way that I could improve on this? Making it more efficient?

[iron crow]

Use a map.

[lilac dagger]

use an enum map instead

[inner mulch]

whats that?

[lilac dagger]

it's a map specially designed for enums

[iron crow]

https://www.w3schools.com/java/java_hashmap.asp

[lilac dagger]

it stores elements more efficiently

[inner mulch]

Like this?

public class ForagingSet {
    private Map<Material, Double> xpValues = new HashMap<>();

    public ForagingSet() {
        xpValues.put(Material.OAK_LOG, 3.0);
        xpValues.put(Material.BIRCH_LOG, 3.0);
        xpValues.put(Material.SPRUCE_LOG, 3.0);
        xpValues.put(Material.DARK_OAK_LOG, 2.5);
        xpValues.put(Material.JUNGLE_LOG, 2.0);
        xpValues.put(Material.ACACIA_LOG, 3.0);
        xpValues.put(Material.MANGROVE_LOG, 5.0);
        xpValues.put(Material.CHERRY_LOG, 5.0);
        xpValues.put(Material.CRIMSON_STEM, 4.0);
        xpValues.put(Material.WARPED_STEM, 4.0);
    }

    public Set<Material> getSet() {
        return xpValues.keySet();
    }

    public double getXPValue(Material material) {
        return xpValues.getOrDefault(material, 0.0);
    }
}```

[iron crow]

Basically, yes.

[inner mulch]

but?

[lilac dagger]

EnumMap.noneOf(Material.class); instead of new HashMap();

[iron crow]

^^

[ivory sleet]

or IdentityHashMap

since Material might be dodoing

[inner mulch]

why are these maps better than a hashmap?

is there a reason

[lilac dagger]

it is in term of what the implementation is

[iron crow]

Each map has it's own features, like sorting, etc.

[lilac dagger]

for enums you don't have to compute hashes

it just uses ordinal

and an array of values

[inner mulch]

    OAK_LOG(3.0),
    BIRCH_LOG(3.0),
    SPRUCE_LOG(3.0),
    DARK_OAK_LOG(2.5),
    JUNGLE_LOG(2.0),
    ACACIA_LOG(3.0),
    MANGROVE_LOG(5.0),
    CHERRY_LOG(5.0),
    CRIMSON_STEM(4.0),
    WARPED_STEM(4.0);

    private double xpValue;

    private Material(double xpValue) {
        this.xpValue = xpValue;
    }

    public double getXPValue() {
        return xpValue;
    }
}```
you mean like this?

[lilac dagger]

this is even better

[iron crow]

xD

[lilac dagger]

but you can't use the material properties

[inner mulch]

idk, you might laugh but i asked chatgpt to convert my code to an enum

i dont really understand any of it

[iron crow]

A map is like key-value store, but each instance does it's things, mostly sorting, optimization, specific tasks, general purposes and so on.

[inner mulch]

okay, but why are enums prefered over normal classes?

[iron crow]

Well, enums are static, classes are not.

They have different purposes as well, like, a class can do much more.

[simple schooner]

What r u doing

Just register the kh command

And I think you should ask for advice on others because I've only been coding in java for like 4 days

I still have alot of stuff to learn

[simple schooner]

I dont think that's how it works

Tbh I don't really know lol

I'm just relying on common s3nse rn

[river oracle]

I'd avoid the use of enum map just so you know materials days as an enum are numbered

[inner mulch]

so i shouldnt use enums?

[river oracle]

No just don't use an EnumMap with material

[inner mulch]

so i should do it like this?

[river oracle]

Oh if you're making an enum you can keep it I'd use a map personally but to each their own

[inner mulch]

like this?

[river oracle]

Basically yeah

Just avoid the use of EnumMap

Which extends map

Using hashmap will be just fine

[inner mulch]

okay, i was told that it isnt as good, because enums are static and classes are not

[river oracle]

Just make your class final singleton if you're worried about multiple instances

[lilac dagger]

even if material as an enum is gonna be gone, which is not true since nothing is deprecated, enumsets and enummaps are the most efficient way to store enum keys

as far as i know material isn't deprecated

[river oracle]

Underneath the hood their will be commodore doing the hard stuff with converting enum maps

But it'd be better if you just didn't force commodore to do anything to your code

[lilac dagger]

uh?

[river oracle]

I'd have to look at exactly what they do to material in the pr again

Are you not aware of the registry pr on the experimental branch?

[small iron]

I'm the same, it's only been 2 days

[lilac dagger]

nope?

but i'm sure materials aren't gonna be gone anytime soon

so you're talking about materials or enummap?

[simple schooner]

What are you even making

[river oracle]

they're actively being replaced

[tender shard]

everything that implements Keyed will soon(TM) not be an enum anymore

[river oracle]

hopefully its merged in 1.21

[tender shard]

so you should not use an EnumMap for Material

[simple schooner]

You shouldn't be making hard stuffs when you have vague understanding of java ( says me who is absolutely making a hologram plugin with 300+ lines of nested code )

[lilac dagger]

i see

[river oracle]

@lilac dagger https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/craftbukkit/pull-requests/931/overview
https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/bukkit/pull-requests/660/overview

if you have stash access

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/looking-for-testers-feedback-on-spigot-pull-request-converting-enums-to-classes.604316/

if you don't ^

[lilac dagger]

but that means goodbye to switches too

hmm

[tender shard]

this should work

[shadow night]

what is that

[tender shard]

it gets you an enummap of amterial in versions where material is an enum

and a normal map in versions where material is not an enum anymore

[shadow night]

also wth is a @UtilityClass annotation?

[river oracle]

its lombok

[shadow night]

hm

[river oracle]

unless jetbrains adds one too

[tender shard]

https://projectlombok.org/features/experimental/UtilityClass

[shadow night]

makes sense

[tender shard]

it's a pretty useless annotation and probably won't go into stable

[shadow night]

I don't use lomkob anyways

[river oracle]

I wish @ExtensionMethod was actually useful

there are some edge cases where ExtensionMethods would be nice if you add something to a type with NMS

but you have to copy paste @ExtensionMethod around literally everywhere you use it right now

and no IDE autocomplete for exntension methods too

Manifold definitely does it better atm

[remote swallow]

reminds me of kotlin

[final monolith]

Can someone explain me the basic concept of changing a nametag with NMS packets and scoreboard?

just the basic, so i could done it with a way to follow

[river oracle]

https://github.com/MrMicky-FR/FastBoard this scoreboard is all packets

check what they do

[remote swallow]

does manifold have tab complete

[river oracle]

i believe it has a full set of IDE features

they have an IJ plugin

[final monolith]

i just mean the nametag

i have a base, but i wanna get what exactly i was supposed to do

[remote swallow]

oooo

[final monolith]

I need to create a new EntityPlayer with the same UUID of the player, with scoreboard prefixes?

Spawn it using PlayerInfo? or with NamedEntitySpawn too?

thats what i'm trying to mean

[river oracle]

idk a ton about scoreboards which is why I sent you that API that's a really well executed one with packets

[final monolith]

don't wanna an external API

[river oracle]

look at their code?

i'm not telling you to use it

I'm saying look how this API does it because they executed their API very well

[final monolith]

I know how to create the prefixes, the packets, etc...

the scoreboards

[inner mulch]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[final monolith]

i just need to know which steps i need to follow

• Remove the player with REMOVE_PLAYER from the PlayerInfoPacket
• Create a new EntityPlayer with same UUID of the player
• Spawn this new EntityPlayer with ADD_PLAYER info packet
• Add name and tags with NMS scoreboard and send the packets

??

[inner mulch]

https://paste.md-5.net/kimixalucu.java
Can anyone help me? Details in the paste link

[final monolith]

What does you mean exactly with doesnt works?

[river oracle]

why are we not following java conventions either?

also what about it doesn't work

[inner mulch]

one works but the other one is not

[river oracle]

error?

[inner mulch]

even though they seem the same

https://paste.md-5.net/cudidabeta.java new one

[final monolith]

private Map<Material, Double> xpValues = new HashMap<>();

you are creating a new variable

at ForagingSet

class

why just not extends SkillSetBuilder

?

[river oracle]

public abstract void Set() method in SkillSetBuilder is a bad method

[inner mulch]

i need to extends because i will create more sets with the same features

[final monolith]

Set() -> set()

[inner mulch]

why small?

[final monolith]

it's the java pattern for methods

[inner mulch]

ok

[final monolith]

ClassName
methodName
fieldName

[remote swallow]

Classes are UpperCamelCase, methods and fields are lowerCamelCase

[inner mulch]

so, the problem with the two being, is that in the lower oen the set is empty

in the upper one, the set is like it should be

[river oracle]

why are we just ignoring the set method is aboslutely useless and shouldn't exist

ofc its empty are you even calling the Set method

[inner mulch]

yes im calling it in a blockbreakevent

[river oracle]

its crappy design just put it in the Constructor

why are you calling it every BlockBreakEvent

that's terrible overhead that's not needed

[inner mulch]

how should i know when the block is in the set if i dont call it ???

[river oracle]

you don't need to fill the map literally every single block break is my point

why would you ever ever ever do that

@Override
public void Set() {
    xpValues.put(Material.OAK_LOG, 3.0);
    xpValues.put(Material.BIRCH_LOG, 3.0);
    xpValues.put(Material.SPRUCE_LOG, 3.0);
    xpValues.put(Material.DARK_OAK_LOG, 2.5);
    xpValues.put(Material.JUNGLE_LOG, 2.0);
    xpValues.put(Material.ACACIA_LOG, 3.0);
    xpValues.put(Material.MANGROVE_LOG, 5.0);
    xpValues.put(Material.CHERRY_LOG, 5.0);
    xpValues.put(Material.CRIMSON_STEM, 4.0);
    xpValues.put(Material.WARPED_STEM, 4.0);
}

this method just plain sucks it provides 0 value and a lot of confusion

move these put calls into a constructor

im gonna guess ur Set method is never called

[river oracle]

which is just a bad copy of what a constructor should do

[inner mulch]

i define the materials in the hashmap and then create a set through hashmap.keyset?

it worked before, but once i made an abstract class it didnt work anymore

[quiet ice]

Do you know what abstract does?

[inner mulch]

its something like a building plan for classes

for similar classes

[quiet ice]

Yeah...

Then remove abstract. It makes the class not instantiable

As in to get instances of the class you need to extend the class - or more specifically all instances of the abstract class are direct instances of another class unrelated to the abstracts class' hierarchy.

[smoky oak]

you dont need a class to be instantiable to extend it? wym geol?

Hello, I would like to create a spigot plugin but I have a lot of trouble. To start, what is the best software to make your plugin? Do you absolutely have to use Maven? If yes, why ?

[inner mulch]

are you also asking about your ide?

[distant wave]

im remaking a plugin which uses databases for saving player data, i need to store an array of itemstacks, how would you recommend me to do it?

[inner mulch]

if so, i would use maven and intelliJ

[smoky oak]

no. most people use it to not manually build their plugins, its an hour of annoyance then it helps.
Most people here use either eclipse or intelliJ as their IDE

[quiet ice]

Hm? I asserted that you cannot directly create an instance of the class if that is what you are misundestanding

[stuck imp]

I also have a problem, I don't understand why when I import a spigot library (server version), I don't have access when I create a class to "Java Plugin" (the essential class to create a plugin)

[tender shard]

maven + IntelliJ is the easiest

[quiet ice]

No, maven is not a must

[inner mulch]

maven + intelliJ is the best combo

believe me

[distant wave]

maven is shit

Okay so long story short the biggest benefit of java, and indeed why ive pushed you towards abstract classes, is that it is object orientated.

What Y2K is trying to explain is that Java is a lot like telling a story.

"Once upon a time there was a prince, who wore a yellow crown, blue robes and a nice pair of shoes. The prince (who wore a yellow crown , blue robes and a nice pair of shoes) lived in a castle that had white bricks and a moat. When the prince (who wore a yellow crown , blue robes and a nice pair of shoes) walked around his castle* (Which had white bricks and a moat)** they realized there was a stray cat **with orange fur *walking around. The prince (who wore a yellow crown , blue robes and a nice pair of shoes) chased the cat (who had orange fur) around his castle (Which had white bricks and a moat) all day long"

*"Once upon a time there was a prince, who wore a yellow crown, blue robes and a nice pair of shoes. The prince lived in a castle that had white bricks and a moat. When the prince walked around his castle, they realized there was a stray cat **with orange fur *walking around. The prince chased the cat around his castle all day long"

One of those stories is a lot easier to read than the other.

The reason?
Context

Once the things (the king, the castle, the cat) had been defined in context, there is 0 need to write all their details out again.

I imagine the reason Y2K has pushed so hard in terms of constructors and good practice is simply this: You are missing out on the greatest strength of the language you are trying to learn.

Its like having bread without butter.

Its like having fish without chips.

Bangers without mash.

Java allows you define "objects". This is what, in most cases, a class should actually be.

E.g:

Lets say you made a "King" class. You could give it 2 fields like this:

public class King {
    private String name;
    private String robeColor;
    private boolean hasNiceShoes;

    public King(String name, String robeColor, boolean hasNiceShoes) {
        this.name = name;
        this.robeColor = robeColor;
        this.hasNiceShoes = hasNiceShoes;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public String getRobeColor() {
        return robeColor;
    }

    public boolean hasNiceShoes() {
        return hasNiceShoes;
    }
    // You can add other methods and behaviors here if needed.
}```

I can then call this class like this:

```java
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        King king1 = new King("King Arthur", "purple", true);
        King king2 = new King("King Richard", "gold", false);

        if(king1.hasNiceShoes){
           System.out.println("The first king has nice shoes")
        }

    }
}

The trick is that code is now tiny. Its because king1 has been defined as an object.

Now imagine if i had to redefine what the king was every time i wanted to use it.

But lets say now you wanted a queen too... well a queen has robes, a name, nice shoes etc.

So now we would need to make a whole new class for queen! Waste of time and lots of code not needed.

So instead we could use an Abstract to make a "Monarch". And then have a king and queen class that extends monarch.

Part 2 incoming

[smoky oak]

i mean technically not, but it basically is

?pasate

[tender shard]

how so?

[smoky oak]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[distant wave]

imagine xml

bruh

[quiet ice]

You can use Gradle or manually fetch the dependcy from spigots maven lib

[warm mica]

Everyone who says maven is shit either hasn't worked with it or doesn't understand how it works

[stuck imp]

Intellij + Maven, and not Visual Studio Code + Maven? Because I code in python with it and I think it's great, but I'll listen to you ok ^^

[quiet ice]

And you think groovy is better?

[tender shard]

i just imagined it, it was nice

[distant wave]

kts?

[smoky oak]

uh minecraft plugins are java

im not sure you can compile python to spigot

[quiet ice]

VSC should also work generally

[quiet ice]

Isn't that just reskinned groovy?

[distant wave]

why the fuck would you use VSC

[tender shard]

if it works well together with maven, sure

[smoky oak]

it opens faster

[quiet ice]

I haven't seen the appeal yet

[tender shard]

however IntelliJ is probably much easier and doesn't require 100 plugins to make it work

in IntelliJ everything just works out of the box

[smoky oak]

mostly

you need to run buildtools once

but thats it

[tender shard]

and I can only repeat myself, here's my 100% foolproof tutorial for IJ + maven https://blog.jeff-media.com/how-to-create-your-first-minecraft-plugin-using-the-spigot-api-and-maven/

[distant wave]

100 reasons to use gradle over maven:

[stuck imp]

I download IntelliJ, i watch so many tutorials but most of them are not updated ...

[livid dove]

abstract class Monarch {
    private String name;
    private String robeColor;
    private boolean hasNiceShoes;

    public Monarch(String name, String robeColor, boolean hasNiceShoes) {
        this.name = name;
        this.robeColor = robeColor;
        this.hasNiceShoes = hasNiceShoes;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public String getRobeColor() {
        return robeColor;
    }

    public boolean hasNiceShoes() {
        return hasNiceShoes;
    }
    // Abstract method to be implemented by subclasses
    public abstract String getTitle();
}```

Now you have made a monarch abstract, look how tiny we can make king and queen! 

```java
class King extends Monarch {
    public King(String name, String robeColor, boolean hasNiceShoes) {
        super(name, robeColor, hasNiceShoes);
    }

    @Override
    public String getTitle() {
        return "King";
    }
}

class Queen extends Monarch {
    public Queen(String name, String robeColor, boolean hasNiceShoes) {
        super(name, robeColor, hasNiceShoes);
    }

    @Override
    public String getTitle() {
        return "Queen";
    }
}

So the reason everyone @inner mulch is ragging on at you isnt to be mean or push you to learn the new stuff. its because you are on the cusp of learning the greatest part of Java, and it'd help you a tonne! 😄

[quiet ice]

I don't think there is much use in overwhelming beginners with this BS

[smoky oak]

@stuck imp ur blocking DMS

[livid dove]

I beg your pardon?

[quiet ice]

Sadly I am on mobile so typing speed is massively reduced for me

[livid dove]

I'd suggest going back to bare basics and asking "why is java used? How is it used? What am i trying to do with it".

Object Orientated programming is a headache when you first start

but moment it clicks

[paper cosmos]

b.isPreferredTool(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_SHOVEL)) && !p.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getType().toString().endsWith("SHOVEL")

why it gives true when I dig a grass block with a shovel?

[livid dove]

boom a whole world of posibilties opens up

[livid dove]

Before you write anymore code i'd legit suggest watching this fully through (it has twists and turns and realisations that even I didnt realise until a few weeks into Java development https://youtu.be/drQK8ciCAjY?list=PLkeaG1zpPTHiMjczpmZ6ALd46VjjiQJ_8)

[tender shard]

the better question is, why do you create a new iron shovel itemstack every time?

[quiet ice]

[remote swallow]

[quiet ice]

@stuck imp You can use this link to get proper API jars

You preferably use the shaded ones

[quiet ice]

Maven is superfluous overhead when beginning to learn a programming language. Even more so if one already is comfortable with an IDE like VSC there is little reason to make them switch

Maven is useful, but only once you have already nailed down the essentials

[buoyant viper]

just git gud

[smoky oak]

tbh if you explain it as 'copy this into that file and replace those two spots with your project name and minecraft version' its not that difficult lol

[remote swallow]

i saw some gluten free breaded chicken schnitzels in costco earlier

[warm mica]

But simply adding the jar as a dependency is easier nonetheless, I must agree with that

[smoky oak]

NO

trust me you DO NOT want to add dependencies

[warm mica]

Especially as most beginner tutorials dont begin with maven, making it even more confusing

[smoky oak]

it will not work

i did maven specifically because dependencies were absolutely fucked for me

[warm mica]

Is it a pain if you have many dependencies? yes. But it doesn't matter if you just work with spigot

[smoky oak]

i did

[quiet ice]

Hence I did the resolution for you by providing the direct link

[smoky oak]

i added the spigot dependency jar from the thing geol linked

no matter what i did it refused to recognize it

so eventually i said fuck it and just ran buildtools and cleaned out the project

[warm mica]

You can't add the spigot.jar that is your server jar with the newer versions, as the classes are packaged within other files within the jar, hence your IDE won't find it. You'd have to specifically import the Spigot API

[quiet ice]

Okay I think I know the problem

But I cannot be sure given that I am on mobile

[smoky oak]

i know that, and i did use the api

[quiet ice]

(you can check for yourself by checking for module-info.class files)

If those exist I'll have a stroke

[smoky oak]

i mean i have since switched computers and not used anything but maven

if i find my old drive sure

[quiet ice]

Because apparently everyone is too incompetent to shade stuff

[warm mica]

🤷 I haven't been using maven for like 3 or 4 years since I started working with spigot

[remote swallow]

i used maven for 1 project then swapped to gradle

[quiet ice]

Meanwhile I used Gradle for 1 project and switched to maven lil

Although before I always used JDT

[tender shard]

I used both and maven is a lot more comfortable imho

[buoyant viper]

[smoky oak]

im too lazy to learn gradle

[rotund ravine]

Gradle is comfortable when you have spend hours getting to know the annoying shit

It can be used pretty freely without though

[buoyant viper]

i used to just use the IDEs artifact builder

[quiet ice]

Can affirm

[stuck imp]

I have this error with your example config

[buoyant viper]

but then i started actually needing dependencies

To be fair, top right corner isn't exactly clear. It's technically in the top left corner of the maven panel.

it says "maven tab in the top right corner" and then shows a screenshot of th ebutton

[remote swallow]

format it

neither, just floats being floats

round it off or somethin

[tender shard]

I added a red square, I hope it's clear enough now

[stuck imp]

In this part, i don't understand : The most important part in your plugin.yml is the main part. It tells Spigot where the Main class of your plugin is located. The most commonly used convention for choosing the name of your Main class is this:

<yourGroupId>.<yourPluginNameInLowerCase>.<YourPluginName>

[kind hatch]

Your main path should be org.xdorg.Main

[tender shard]

you seem to have problems in reading the post sentence for sentence, and following its precise and clear instructions

[kind hatch]

main in the plugin.yml refers to the path to your main class.

[stuck imp]

I'm not English and sometimes it's not detailed enough, I'm a complete beginner in java even though I know how to code in python

[echo basalt]

The post is aimed at beginners and uses simple language

[stuck imp]

Alright, thanks 🙂

[tender shard]

your main class should be called org.xdorg.partnership.Partnership

and the "main: " part in plugin.yml should have the same value

[kind hatch]

Except that's not where his main class is.

[tender shard]

yes, that is why I mentioned it?

[stuck imp]

So, what do i use ? org.xdorg.partnership.Partnership or org.xdorg.Main on plugin.yml ?

[tender shard]

you use org.xdorg.partnership.Partnership

both for your main class

[stuck imp]

alright

[tender shard]

and also for the "main" value in plugin.yml

[remote swallow]

you will need to refractor tho

[stuck imp]

Refractor is it reload or something else?

you current have org.xdorg

you need org.xdorg.partnership
