[young knoll]

According to the docs Jigsaw's have their own block data

Called Jigsaw

[kindred sentinel]

Soo... what's differences between item pdc and custom tag

if the pdc is too custom tag?

[sullen marlin]

Because they made a fluid system then never actually made it useful

[sullen marlin]

Yes

[weak meteor]

How should manage my db interactions?

1. OnEnable cache everything, when something changes add it, remove it, edit it in cache and then OnDisable sync it with db

2. OnEnable cache everything, when something changes, cache it and sync it with DB and OnDisable nothing?

I wanna make Ranks, Sanctions, Login, etc.

Were talking about HikariCP

[young knoll]

PDC is part of the api

[sullen marlin]

Don't do #1

You'll lose your data on server crash

[young knoll]

Generally you should be fine to just send changes to the DB right away

[weak meteor]

Okay

[weak meteor]

Connection always open?

[young knoll]

HikariCP will manage the connection

[weak meteor]

okay

[bold gorge]

I have a wild theory

So I have a working menus library, but specifically everything is working but when remove item and update is called the item is removed then it's there again in the inventory
https://paste.learnspigot.com/motizifeci.java

Keep in mind everything works in a different plugin but not this.
Tested on versions 1.19.4 and 1.20.1 versions

[weak meteor]

But lets say i mute "Player7" in Hub and when he joins Skywars, how should i fetch data? Can i listen when there's a change in DB or should i fetch data from DB when player joins?

[young knoll]

You could

Or you can use some kind of messaging system between the servers

[orchid gazelle]

yo any ideas ^Du hast (?<name>.+) (?<amount>\\d+)\\$ gegeben! $ about whats wrong with my regex?

[thin iris]

it’s not regexing

[orchid gazelle]

when making \\ \ it works on regex101

but it errors in Java

[eager jacinth]

Hello, I need some advice.

I want to make a small "banking" system, but I don't know how to do it better: 1. Separate backend server with Discord bot and web interface, and the plugin will simply send requests to the API. So, users will be able to transfer money whenever they want. 2. Do everything in the plugin.

I just want the user to be able to use the application at any time, regardless of whether the server is running or not

[young knoll]

Well if you want it to work when the server isn't running

Don't do it in a plugin

[echo basalt]

and it blows up your ram

[echo basalt]

It depends

(as always)

There are multiple approaches to do something like this

Some are better than others

In a flawless world it's a mix of a few

You can:

• Make a bungee plugin that loads the data and applies mutes globally
• Make a spigot plugin that loads player data on join, saves it on quit (high potential for de-sync if reading is faster than writing)
• Make a spigot plugin that loads player data on join and puts it in a low-latency cache
• Make a bungee plugin that loads player data on join, puts it in a low-latency cache for spigot instances to read from
• Make a spigot plugin that loads player data on join, and relays that data to other instances when transfering a player

What we do at work is put it in a low-latency cache that invalidates 30 minutes after the player quits

At some point I need to write a session manager and publish it out for free to standardize this kind of process

[young knoll]

Define low latency cache

[echo basalt]

something like redis

Where the write and read latency are far faster

but it isn't necessarily a persistent database

Just something temporary

[young knoll]

I assume the 30 minute period is to prevent reading it again if the player relogs right away

[echo basalt]

Something like that

minimizes spikes with the one idiot that has autoreconnect on

[young knoll]

lol

[echo basalt]

Depending on the application and database performance we can automatically adjust between 5 minutes and like 2 hours

[young knoll]

I was going to make a simple custom durability api today

I have not done that

https://tenor.com/view/cat-fall-ground-drop-oof-oop-die-play-dead-gif-18928206

[echo basalt]

I was gonna complete some stuff for driving school and a commission

done neither and I feel like shit

[torn oyster]

is there a way to keep a certain list of chunks loaded

[glad prawn]

whats wrong

[echo basalt]

you can make plugin tickets

[torn oyster]

does that keep it loaded forever

or does it just load it in for a certain amount of time

[echo basalt]

forever

until the ticket is removed

or the plugin is unloaded

[torn oyster]

that sounds like it would work

thanks

[haughty granite]

hi, does anyone know a really good game server management panel? (except pterodactyl)

[sage patio]

ping me if you found one

[sullen marlin]

Feel like most people use pterodactyl these days

AMP and Multicraft are the other big ones I know

Much older

[torn oyster]

how would i change the type of sapling leaves drop when they are broken/decay

[orchid gazelle]

oopsa

[young knoll]

I think decaying calls a BlockFadeEvent

However idk if you can control the drops from that event

[orchid gazelle]

if I have a regex like this:
^[Waffenschrank] Du hast deine (?<gun>.+) mit (?<amount>\\d+) Kugeln beladen.
^ should mean beginning of line, but I somehow suspect that it does something with the [ ]

is that a thing

?

[glad prawn]

[a-z] match a though z. [abc] match a b or c

[orchid gazelle]

well it's part of the string I wanna patch tho

the [] stuff

but I do not want it to do regex stuff with it

[glad prawn]

then escape

[orchid gazelle]

^\\[Waffenschrank\\] like that?

[glad prawn]

yeah

[orchid gazelle]

alright imma try

[lilac dagger]

What about screen you guys?

[lilac dagger]

Try screen, if you have a vps/dedicated server

[kind hatch]

Don't.. just don't. Screens suck

[lilac dagger]

Nope

I love screens

[kind hatch]

Hate them. Had to use them for the longest time and I'm glad that better things came along to replace it.

[lilac dagger]

I had names for all my screens

It wasn't a issue

I forgot which button i had to press for detach tho

[hazy parrot]

docker + portainer 😌

[weak meteor]

ig bungee is the best option?

how would you do it?

[echo basalt]

depends on complexity and budget

[weak meteor]

Well its just to learn idk, fun

And well, budget, idk what u mean w/that

[echo basalt]

Has to do with like

how many resources

y'know

do you have redis, mongo and influx

or just mysql

or whatever

So many fun things can work

[weak meteor]

Just mysql

wanna make the plugin simple for the user

and well, there's no need to be fast to code

just fun for me

thanks for the help

[wet breach]

just fyi you can use mysql like you would redis

as mysql does have memory only db's/tables

if you set it up

[echo basalt]

latency tho

[wet breach]

latency should be better and if its on the same host its a none issue

and if you really want low latency go with linux sockets with mysql

[echo basalt]

frosty you genius

wanna help me with this BS?

or you at work?

[wet breach]

about to head to work

[echo basalt]

rip

[orchid gazelle]

I like turtles

[echo basalt]

what the actual fuck have I encountered

what the actual fuck, worldedit

how is this able to paste fine but reading the contents is fucked

[buoyant viper]

__reserved__?

[echo basalt]

no fucking clue

this reads out as what's on the console

wtf is _reserved_ and why are all the coordinates fucked

man fuck this it's not worth the 200 bucks or whatever

[young knoll]

Lol?

[echo basalt]

apparently fawe does stupid conversions if you're on paper

I can't read schematic data with their own api

I simply won't bother

[young knoll]

Interesting

I haven’t tried my latest project on paper actually, so I wonder if I’ll encounter that

[subtle folio]

how do I add jpa repostories, and derived queries into my plugin similar to spring's jpa system? I know I can use hibernate ORM but how what do I use to make the queries? Or is there something that wraps this all together for me nicely?

[weak meteor]

for some reason lombok isnt working, what can i do?

method literally doesnt exist.

[vocal cloud]

Is the variable named CHub?

Or are you attempting to call a non static variable?

[sterile token]

is getScore method statis?

[sterile token]

yeah, for sure

[weak meteor]

im just trying to use lombok getter

that creates

ig like

SCOREBOARD.get or smth like that

[young knoll]

That should be the correct way to do it

What ide are you using

[vocal cloud]

CHub is a direct class call or is it a variable? Paste code

[weak meteor]

goinmg

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[weak meteor]

intellij

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

[young knoll]

Ah nvm

[weak meteor]

das main

[young knoll]

I know for eclipse you need to install a plugin for Lombok

Idk about intelij

[weak meteor]

lemme see

yeaa

that was

[glossy wren]

Yo, quick question. Is it possible to create a system like Wynncraft (model display inside barrier) without adding a huge list of locations into my plugin?

[young knoll]

Well you’ll need to track it somehow

You could technically track it with an entity at that location

[glossy wren]

So am I just better off making a list of locations?

[young knoll]

Mhm

You can reduce them into vectors if you track the world separately

[drowsy helm]

It’s either that or some janky entitiy scanner

[weak meteor]

Everytime a runnable repeats its creating a new instance? Cause lets say i wanna do a count 1+1+1, setting up count, everytime it repeats will start count as 0 or the last value?

[drowsy helm]

It’s far more elegant

[weak meteor]

@Override
    public void run() {
        Configuration cfg = CHub.getInstance().getConfig();
        List<String> strings = CHub.getScoreboard().getConfig().getStringList("scoreboard.title.animation");
        int count;

    }```

[drowsy helm]

If the count is in the run method scope itll reset

Just depends on variable scope

[weak meteor]

so

how should i do

setting it

out of the method

ye

[drowsy helm]

Is it a runnable class

Or anonymous

[weak meteor]

runnable

public class TitleRunnable extends BukkitRunnable {
    int count;
    @Override
    public void run() {
        Configuration cfg = CHub.getInstance().getConfig();
        List<String> strings = CHub.getScoreboard().getConfig().getStringList("scoreboard.title.animation");
        if (count >= strings.size()){
            count = 0;
        }
        for (Player player : Bukkit.getServer().getOnlinePlayers()){
            ScoreboardManager.getBoards().get(player.getUniqueId()).updateTitle(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', strings.get(count)));
        }
    }
}```

i came up with that

[wet breach]

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Reserved6

[young knoll]

That was in bedrock though

Actually not even

Old pocket edition

[wet breach]

Yes but java edition had something similar too that was a placebolder

[lethal coral]

for a class name gmccommand are we thinking GmcCommand or GMCCommand

[glad prawn]

GamemodeCreativeCommand 🤓👌

GamemodeCreativeCmd

[lethal coral]

well I already have a GameModeCommand

and that would be very long 🤓

[glad prawn]

Nahh not matter

[lethal coral]

which one is better though

GMC is an acronym but

idk

[glad prawn]

You can't ignore just because it's long

[lethal coral]

GameModeCreativeCommand

that is probably the longest class name known to man kind

[glad prawn]

its fine lol, feel good

[lethal coral]

😭

[glad prawn]

😡😡

[tender shard]

just throw some PDC tag on the barrier block

or the item display itself

also what's wrong with having a huge list of locations?

[lethal coral]

        Collection<Player> playerArg = (Collection<Player>) args.get("target");
        Collection<Player> targets = playerArg;
        if (playerArg == null) {
            if (!(sender instanceof Player player)) {
                Component error = miniMessage.deserialize(
                        "<red>Console cannot use this command unless a target is provided.");
                sender.sendMessage(error);
                return;
            }
            targets = List.of(player);
        }
        if (targets.isEmpty()) {
            Component emptyMsg = miniMessage.deserialize("<red>No targets were found.");
            sender.sendMessage(emptyMsg);
            return;
        }

intellij is yelling me about this duplicated code fragment which will end up being in at least 5 of my commands and I don't know how to simplify it

[tender shard]

public static Collection<Player> getTargets(args) {
        Collection<Player> playerArg = (Collection<Player>) args.get("target");
        Collection<Player> targets = playerArg;
        if (playerArg == null) {
            if (!(sender instanceof Player player)) {
                Component error = miniMessage.deserialize(
                        "<red>Console cannot use this command unless a target is provided.");
                sender.sendMessage(error);
                return null;
            }
            targets = List.of(player);
        }
        if (targets.isEmpty()) {
            Component emptyMsg = miniMessage.deserialize("<red>No targets were found.");
            sender.sendMessage(emptyMsg);
            return null;
        }
        return targets;
}

idk something like this, then your other methods just return if getTargets(args) returns null or is empty

[lethal coral]

I like this approach better than what I was going to go for with throwing an exception and catching it

thanks

[tender shard]

throwing exceptions yourself is only fine if you don't wanna catch them

I call this anti pattern "do not jump off bridges" https://blog.jeff-media.com/dont-jump-off-bridges-or-why-you-shouldnt-use-exceptions-to-control-code-flow/

you can also think about using a command framework like ACF that automatically handle this for your

e.g. ACF allows you to declare a method like this

public void onCommand(CommandSender sender, Player... targets)

and then it will only only "player names" as args and create an error message itself

[drowsy helm]

acf on top

[lavish flower]

can anyone link some plugins that use gradle and implements a SQL database? never used a SQL database in Spigot (or Java) previously, looking to do some digging into how it's implemented :)

[sullen marlin]

Gradle and spigot are irrelevant

SQL is built into java

Any tutorial should do

[lavish flower]

thank you, I'll do some more research on that :)

anyone know the uh

[vale knoll]

I am trying to change the text of a TextDisplay using the .setText() method. However, anything I put into that method becomes this:

text:'{"extra":[{"text":"This is a test"}],"text":""}'

[sullen marlin]

/Version?

Sounds like a bug but I would expect it to have been reported by now

                final Player player = (Player) sender;

                final TextDisplay textDisplay = player.getWorld().spawn(player.getLocation(), TextDisplay.class);
                textDisplay.setText("This is a test.");

                // Show a particular entity
                if (!entityHider.getMembership(player, textDisplay.getEntityId())) {
                    entityHider.setMembership(player, textDisplay.getEntityId(), true);
                }

            }
        }

Just made a ticket: https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/browse/SPIGOT-7483

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[vale knoll]

This seems a bit convoluted. For clarification, I am looking to do the same thing as /tag add ingame, but through a plugin instead. Additonally, being able to check an entity for tags would be nice.

[lost matrix]

The proper way are PersistentDataContainers as they can hold keys+values which greatly improves the
usability of your tags. If you want a simple ScoreboardTag then you can call
Entity#addScoreboardTag(String)
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Entity.html#addScoreboardTag(java.lang.String)

I need help in serializing datas :l

it is kinda complex object

[torn oyster]

is there a limit to how many entities can target a player at once?

[rough drift]

no afaik

[torn oyster]

i am doing a wave-defence sort of game

and every second i set all entities targets to the nearest player

[rough drift]

each entity manages it's own target and no other class is told about it

[torn oyster]

but some just like to wander around

[rough drift]

well other classes can know about it

[torn oyster]

i can have up to like 60 entities at once

would something be interfering idk

it didnt happen when the server started up, but as more mobs were introduced more started to wander around

i might try LivingEntity.setAware()

[vestal hill]

I have a question.
I would like to know how many zombies are in the World, but I don't know how to do that.

[hybrid spoke]

you get the world, get the entities of that world, iterate over, check if its instanceof zombie, count + 1

world.getEntitiesByClass(Zombie.class).size();

[quiet ice]

That is possible?

I have a kitpvp plugin, which I downloaded and am using, but its configuration is in a jar, I can't modify it using yml, I wanted to know if updating it in Java would be very difficult or not

[smoky anchor]

Sorry, I don't use this old versions.....

[jaunty shuttle]

Does anyone know how to remove invisible armorstands, they are there for spectators

[smoky anchor]

what are you using them for and for what version

[smoky anchor]

#help-server

maybe?

Or are you asking to change the plugins code

[woeful wind]

i want change the plugin code

[jaunty shuttle]

we use the spectator-mode for a Minigame which we are developing at the moment but the armorstands above the playerheads arent cool

[smoky anchor]

sorry for confusion, what are you using the armorstands for :D

[jaunty shuttle]

we dont use them

they are there with the minecraft spectator mode

we want to delete them

[grizzled sable]

it depends if the jar file is encrypted or the plugin is open source best you send us/my the link

[jaunty shuttle]

in the minecraft spectator mode are sometimes invisible armorstands

above playerheads

[smoky anchor]

Well the armor stands have to be spawned for the spectators to see them
so you seem to be using them...

maybe a different plugin is doing that ?

[jaunty shuttle]

mhm we have to check that, i dont think so but we wil lcheck it

[smoky anchor]

a picture might help btw

[woeful wind]

well, i have only the .jar file but it is open source (my .jar file has a pt-br translation) and is it possible to use the .jar to modify or just with the source code?

[wet breach]

Call it creative mode. You dont need to append command to the class name if the package it resides in is called commands lol

Makes it a bit redundant

[grizzled sable]

if you only want to change the language file you can do that in the file you named otherwise you have to rewrite certain things in the source code and export a new jar file from it. so from the source code you make the jar file

[smoky anchor]

Link us the plugin please

and tell us what you want to change

[woeful wind]

i want rename the scoreboard etc

[wet breach]

You can freely edit most files that are not the class files without issues. If setup properly you can make it to where you can add translation files without issue as well

[woeful wind]

i can't send .jar files

[grizzled sable]

Then you have to change that in your Code

[smoky anchor]

Send where you downloaded it from

the Spigot website if possible

[torn oyster]

this didn't work

can anyone help

[woeful wind]

I didn't download it from spigot

[smoky anchor]

well you had to download it from somewhere

[woeful wind]

youtube video

[wet breach]

Yes, the tick rate. Only so many things can happen in a given tick to include setting entity targeting

[smoky anchor]

so send the link to that video

[torn oyster]

is it necessary to set the enemies' target every second

or should i do it just once

is there a way to make them not change target

[smoky anchor]

ok it links to some discord...
Can't help here then

[woeful wind]

i have the link

1 sec

[woeful wind]

i sent for u

[wet breach]

Generally if you set the target to a specific player as opposed to nearest it should probably help with that. So might have to implement your own detection for nearest. Also may have to resort using scheduling to update entities so that you are not trying to do too many things in a single tick and lets the server spread that out over a few ticks if necessary and not be missed.

[smoky anchor]

Are those NPCs ?

[jaunty shuttle]

yeah but its above playerheads too

thats a player, there are 2 armorstands 😄

[smoky anchor]

Unless you specifically coded it so that happens, it is a different plugin doing that shit.
The NPCs I get, it is not updated for TextDisplay

[jaunty shuttle]

mhm

maybe Citizens, we work with that becaue of NPC´s and the Skins of them

we will check it, write again in a few minutes

[torn oyster]

should .setAware(false) affect .setTarget() ?

[woeful wind]

Does anyone have the time to tell me how I modify a .jar

[chrome beacon]

Depends on what you want to change in it

[woeful wind]

only text in .jar

scoreboard name for example

[chrome beacon]

I recommend opening the jar with Recaf 3 then

You can use the bytecode editor to change the text

[torn oyster]

anyone know

[chrome beacon]

Would probably be faster to just tas

[vernal marsh]

Hello, I have a question. Does anyone know a way to sort players in the tab list without having access to the scoreboard and teams?

[chrome beacon]

You can change the player names

but you probably don't want to do that

[vernal marsh]

Yes, it would be best if the player name stays the same. I just want to sort them according to roles but don't want to use teams for that either.....

[smoky oak]

what's the event fired when you drop an item with q?

[chrome beacon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerDropItemEvent.html

[crystal swift]

Hi does anyone know how I can use player.launchProjectile to shoot 3 arrows with flame?

[chrome beacon]

Call the method 3 times

and set the fire ticks of the arrow

[wet breach]

https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Player_Info_Update

[crystal swift]

But I dont get how to use the method

[wet breach]

as far as I am aware the default order of the list is by connection, that is whoever connects first is higher up in the list

you can however use that packet to sort that list and send it to clients, as well as have per player ordering

[chrome beacon]

You give it the Arrow class as the first param and optionally a vector as the second

[crystal swift]

Can you send me example code maybe?

[chrome beacon]

launchProjectile(Arrow.class)

[crystal swift]

why .class?

[chrome beacon]

Because it wants the class

[crystal swift]

so i cant just create an item stack?

[rough drift]

no

An ItemStack is not an Entity

ItemStacks are for items in an inventory

[crystal swift]

Ty

Can you maybe explain me how i can do this arrow.class?

[vernal marsh]

I've already tried the package to change the list of players but I didn't get any results. I used this method from Paper but no matter how I arrange the players in this list the tablist stays the same.....

    public ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket createPacket(List<ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Entry> entries) {
        EnumSet<ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Action> enumSet = EnumSet.of(ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Action.UPDATE_GAME_MODE, ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Action.UPDATE_LISTED, ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Action.UPDATE_LATENCY, ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Action.UPDATE_DISPLAY_NAME);
        return new ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket(enumSet, entries);
    }

[rough drift]

player.getWorld().spawnArrow(start, direction, speed, spread);

start - A location
direction - A vector
speed - A float (Like 1F)
spread - How much should the arrow deviate? A float (Like

[chrome beacon]

^^ that would work too

[rough drift]

@crystal swift what do you want to achieve

[wet breach]

I don't see where you are setting the order of the list for the UUID's

[crystal swift]

I want multiple arrows to shoot when a player uses a bow

[rough drift]

Ah

There's an event called ProjectileLaunchEvent

[crystal swift]

ik

[rough drift]

Check if the launched projectile is an arrow and the shooter is a player, if so use the scheduler to spawn two extra arrows after some time

[vernal marsh]

I don't use uuids for sorting the players... in the list that is transferred, the players are sorted in such a way that they are listed according to the ranks that I defined in it, but the sorted list is not shown in the tab list like that....

[wet breach]

the packet takes an array of UUID's

you have to the modify this array, to sort the UUID's in the order you want

just so you know, there is 2 arrays

its Array(UUID(Array Actions))

[vernal marsh]

There is no array in the package that I have open, which package do you mean exactly

[wet breach]

I don't know what you mean by package, I am talking about the packet itself

if whatever you are using doesn't allow you to do this, you may just need to modify the packet yourself

[vernal marsh]

i use the ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket 😅

from paper

[wet breach]

well this is spigot

as far as I know you should be able to just modify/send packets that you want by hooking into the network manager

if you are wanting to use paper, then it may be wise to move to their discord where they can help you with paper specific things

and not be here where its spigot specific things

[crystal swift]

What is a vector 😭😭

[wet breach]

a way to describe the direction of a thing

[eternal oxide]

Imagine you are pointing your finger at the sun. the direction of your finger is the vector.

[rough drift]

A vector is a collection of 3 numbers, or x, y, z, you can create a vector like so: new Vector(x, y, z);.

You can also obtain a vector from a location in two ways:

Location#getDirection gets the rotation of a location as a vector, without position
Location#toVector creates a vector from this location, without rotation

[vernal marsh]

okay, thank you for you helping, I'll ask on the other server

[echo basalt]

https://bukkit.org/threads/tutorial-how-to-calculate-vectors.138849/

I got this on my bookmarks

[rough drift]

for example, to get where the player is looking, you can use:

somePlayer.getEyeLocation().getDirection()

[rough drift]

Vectors represent directions, and have a length, length can be used for example in velocity to specify the power of the impulse

Vector direction = player.getEyeLocation().getDirection();
player.setVelocity(direction.multiply(5)); // Direction is a "unit" vector, basically has a length of 1

[echo basalt]

Normalizing a vector is just scaling it down to a length of 1

[rough drift]

Multiplying a unit vector just multiplies it's x, y and z by that number

[rough drift]

^

[echo basalt]

To set a vector's length, you normalize it and multiply by the new length :)

It's not that complicated

[rough drift]

^

[wet breach]

otherwise known as magnitude

[rough drift]

yep

Just going in for the easier explanations you know?

[wet breach]

if you want to stick with math related terms 😛

[wet breach]

definitely, but probably should be important they know the appropriate terms in case they might want to do some googling and see what you said doesn't quite match what they find lmao

[rough drift]

Ah fair

Anyways, you know that feeling of rewriting a good chunk of your plugin because you got a better idea while the plugin itself was working 💀

[echo basalt]

well

that's the cycle of development

you write something

learn the flaws in your design

and rewrite it all

[rough drift]

it wasn't even flawed

[echo basalt]

btw ike did you also get an email from socks management?

[rough drift]

I just kinda felt like making it more customizable

[eternal oxide]

Then throw it all away and start again

[rough drift]

I don't think so

[echo basalt]

had a hr manager reach out to me

[rough drift]

?

what email

I'll check

[echo basalt]

might be because you're still underage and can't sign contracts

they're like rebuilding the team or something

[rough drift]

yeah dm me the email

I might've missed it

[echo basalt]

it was just a basic "my name is xyz and I'm reaching out because I have a few questions, add me on discord"

[rough drift]

hm

[wet breach]

totally doesn't match any spam filters with that

you know like your every day scam email XD

[rough drift]

[rough drift]

I don't think I've received, and if I did they managed to put it in spam ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[echo basalt]

they did have my first name

so I know it was legit

[rough drift]

welp

[echo basalt]

I got their discord elsewhere because the tag on the email didn't work and everything checked out

then they told me they didn't have any positions for me and to basically fuck off

🥹

[smoky oak]

someone mentioned to me to not complie but run code from the IDE directly. Is there an explanation as to what that is or how to do it?

[lost matrix]

Just add a run configuration that starts your server. Intellij will do the rest in terms of
detecting if exceptions belong to your project. Thats the simplest approach-

[chrome beacon]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/intellij-debug-your-plugin/

[smoky oak]

that looks like i still need to build it though?

is it just that it doesnt need a reload or smth?

[lost matrix]

Thats hot swapping. Something different.
Sometimes useful but limited.

You dont need to recompile for small changes.

Adding new methods, classes etc still needs a recompile.

[smoky oak]

ah

lright ill just keep remote debug then

so that if my IDE crashes again the server aint going down with it

on an entirely different topic, does anyone know why i cannot hear any sound using this command
/playsound minecraft:entity.ender_eye.deathrecord master @a ~ ~ ~ 1 1.5

[smoky anchor]

are you running it from chat ?

[smoky oak]

yea

[lost matrix]

did you disable your master volume?

[smoky oak]

no

only the music cuz i want my own background music

and i can hear other sounds

like me walking around on the floor

[smoky anchor]

is that even a real sound effect ? the "deathrecord" sounds weird

[smoky oak]

someone clearly forgot a space giving me that command

thanks

[smoky anchor]

---__---

[smoky oak]

irritating that its not like 'sound doesnt exist' but just doesnt do squat

[smoky anchor]

ye I would have expected that to pop up...

or at least maybe a warning message in client console ?

[smoky oak]

no

its like 'yea this sounds correct'

Moterius issued server command: /playsound minecraft:entity.ender_eye.deathrecord master @a ~ ~ ~ 100000 1.5
[15:20:52] [Server thread/INFO]: [Moterius: Played sound minecraft:entity.ender_eye.deathrecord to Moterius]

[smoky anchor]

client console

[smoky oak]

are sounds handled 100% client side or something

nothing there

[lost matrix]

What does that even mean?

[young knoll]

Yes sounds are client side

[echo basalt]

not all of them

[young knoll]

Resolving is

The server just says “hey play this sound”

And the client figures out the rest

[echo basalt]

well

reason why playsound doesn't trip at you is because resource pack sounds are a thing

[young knoll]

yes

The server has no idea if a sound with that namespace exists or not

So it just yolos a packet to the client

[smoky oak]

noted

ill just double check everything i get manually

[alpine swan]

in a plugin, if you perform an action which would call a listener (eg: player.attack could call entitydmagebyentity), will all the listeners be ran immediately, or will they be ran after the block of code (method) from the first plugin

i know that with callevent() it runs immediately but i dont know about this

[young knoll]

immediately

[shadow night]

blobfish?

[alpine swan]

ye what

[echo basalt]

immediate I'd say

A calls event
Listener 1 runs code
Listener 2 runs code
Listener 3 runs code

A checks if event is cancelled
A does coolmath if event is not cancelled

[shadow night]

I'm kinda surprised to see you here lol

[young knoll]

It's all single threaded

[echo basalt]

yeah

or wlel

it all runs in the same thread

[shadow night]

Minecraft be like

[young knoll]

Minecraft isn't all single threaded

[alpine swan]

i know that when its called then the listeners run, but my point is does player.attack immediately call the event

[echo basalt]

yes

[young knoll]

yes

[shadow night]

World gen?

[alpine swan]

alr

just 1 more thing

[echo basalt]

Here let's fuck around and find out

[young knoll]

Worldgen is multithreaded, yes

Chat is also it's own thread (Or at least it was before the chat reporting update? idk if it still is)

[shadow night]

Do hurt target

[echo basalt]

nah

not that

if this is an nms player, do the nms attack

[alpine swan]

what would you expect to be more intenvive, searching for nearby entities within a 4 block radius, or doing a 3 block raycast (i can either raycast straight away or do a nearby entities check first)

ik neither are very intensive at all but im talking about doing like up to 1000 per second (over multiple ticks ofc)

[echo basalt]

bros got no clue how big his scale is

[shadow night]

1000 per second?

[alpine swan]

i dont have a clue, thats why im asking

i dont really know what scale of stuff i can get away with in java

[echo basalt]

measure them both and come out with your own conclusions

[young knoll]

I would imagine just raycasting is better

But who knows

[shadow night]

Maybe measure multiple times for more accurate measures

[young knoll]

There's a framework for that

[shadow night]

I wonder what those 1000 per seconds are for

[young knoll]

Minigun

Oh wait no guns

Uhh

[shadow night]

No guns?

[young knoll]

Miniwatergun

[shadow night]

Lol

European alternatives

[young knoll]

Yeah Mojang doesn't like guns

[shadow night]

Wait

That's genius

Just say those are medieval weapons and not guns

Or it's waterpistols

[young knoll]

Or just go scifi

[shadow night]

And the hearts are actually how wet you are

[young knoll]

Laser gun

[shadow night]

Lol

[shadow night]

Or rather, more hearts = more dry

And when you have no hearts you "lose", you don't "die"

Guys, we are making a guns server

[alpine swan]

i need to raycast 3 blocks from the players face on every animation event but that calls a lot when digging and i cant just disable it when digging because minecraft sometimes just decides to not send the cancel digging packet

(no im not making an anticheat)

[young knoll]

Well

What are you making

This may be an xy

[shadow night]

Yeah, I thought the same too

[alpine swan]

tbh it would be harder to explain the plugin than to explain this spesific point, there isnt a more efficient way of doing it

[shadow night]

maybe there is, who knows

[alpine swan]

there isnt

[shadow night]

Well, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[young knoll]

I still doubt it

The animation event is basically just arm swing

Which also fires interact event

[smoky oak]

List<Location>[] projections = new List[12 * 20];
I'm... not having a good time right now lol

is there a better way to store an ordered list of lists

[young knoll]

I mean

You can do List<List>>

[smoky oak]

that gets eaten by method signatures

[young knoll]

But generally it's better to make a data class than to nest collections

[smoky oak]

List<List> is the same as List<>

this is my data class

[young knoll]

Time for another data class

OR you can just stick with the array

It's not the worst thing ever

[smoky oak]

oh ffs auto import
import javax.xml.stream.Location;

can i be like 'prioritize bukkit and spigot imports'

[young knoll]

[smoky oak]

ah well

i have a 'shape' class which contains a list of locations

idea was to just throw back a list of shape instances

but if the methods bloat it I'd just throw in a mergeShape method

@see NullShape#mergeVertexList(List)
This doesnt seem to work properly, can someone give me an @see example pointint to a method that has a list in its signature?

oh wtf

it needs to be on newline???

ah yea thats how annotations work

i need sleep

how do you deserialize a chat component when getting a message json through protocollib?

because i just want the message the player receives in chat

how do i get the direction behind a certain player

[smoky oak]

[thin iris]

i want to push the player backwards

[young knoll]

Get their direction and multiply by -1

[smoky oak]

maybe zero the y component

or you might launch em

[young knoll]

You'll need at least a bit of y velocity

Otherwise friction will heck you

[lilac dagger]

i'm sure's md's components have a method to deserialize chat

text components are not really json

at least i think so?

Is it possible to make something like split but every 10 letters?

[lilac dagger]

substring

[young knoll]

Or regex

[lilac dagger]

or getChars

[kindred sentinel]

Like i have a string "123456789"
and i want an array ["12","34","56","78","9"]

[young knoll]

Or manual looping over the strings char array

you can turn string into char arrays using String#toCharArray

oh

[remote swallow]

also that wouldnt work

[kindred sentinel]

it from js

sorry

int*

[lilac dagger]

use substring start end

[glad prawn]

this simple

[lilac dagger]

or use regex

[kindred sentinel]

hmm but yeah it would be better

[river oracle]

I suggest you learn basic java operations and logic. e.g. I need to do X what is the logic for doing that. it'd honestly best for you if you figured this out yourself through trial and error

this is such a basic thing to do you just need to be-able to do it for the sake of learning the logical thought process

[glad prawn]

on Java u need to escape itll become \\d{1,2}

[kindred sentinel]

yeaaah but after school my head works too poorly

[river oracle]

then take a break before you code :P give your brain a rest if school is challenging

[kindred sentinel]

sooo i I just wanted to know if there is, in principle, a similar method in java without regex or loops

[glad prawn]

but you ll split what

[lilac dagger]

yes substring with start and end argument

[glad prawn]

digits or something

[smoky oak]

javadocs can crash install???

[kindred sentinel]

yeah i think i just should have a break......

thanks

[alpine swan]

why does minecraft sometimes decide not to send a cancel digging packet

[wary harness]

What would be better logic to handel itemshop which has limited stock items
so some item can be bought 10 times and when it is sold it will restock after specific amount of time
so now I am thinking making check with for loop which will go thru all items in shop and check do they need to be restocked
code will be executed on specific delay like 1 sec and I think that would be bad
or make it so check is made when player opens shop or when they do /shopfastbuy <itemname> <amount>
thing is stock amount has placeholder which should be updated if item gets restocked
so if I do it only when player opens gui shop and item get restocked few sec leter placeholder will not be update
thing is I got stock limit per-player and global
so would it be to intensive if I do update once a second thru all items because they could be a lot of items in multiple gui shops
I really don't have inspiration and idea how to make this code logic
Thanks for reading my book 🙂

Whether it be a compile error, runtime error, or an unexpected output, I'm sure that if you were to provide code, you'd receive a quick solution.

in theory the solution is to create a new location object and using the snapshot chunk coordinates times 16

[chrome beacon]

Making a snapshot like that is redundant

[vast raven]

can it be run asynch isn'tit

[chrome beacon]

You still need to get the snapshot sync

And if you're only going to grab the top location that's going to be slower

[vast raven]

let me explain

I'm inside a synch task since recent version reduced asynch operations, and I need to apply a disease to a player if it is exposed to rain, this is for each task tick

I can def increment the task period but I still have the same problem, it can cause lag

[chrome beacon]

Getting the top block is actually quite efficient

[young knoll]

^ It's stored via heightmap

[chrome beacon]

No need to async

You're just going to cause more lag

[vast raven]

getting just the player top block?

[timid hedge]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[vast raven]

actually I can just get 1 block, since a player can be covered with the second top block, it won't work

so I would need either to iterate throught player top blocks

[young knoll]

what

[chrome beacon]

Did you just ignore the method you yourself used a moment ago

[shadow night]

Just send it twice!

[chrome beacon]

No need to loop anything

[vast raven]

I didn't even tried actually using asynch with that method

one of my friend suggested me to

but it would cause lag either so I have no clues

[timid hedge]

Can someone please help me with this problem
The skull isnt being the skull i want, its a skeleton head not the orb head i want and the skull is being placed 2 blocks too much to west and north
Code: https://paste.md-5.net/hesiretisa.java

[chrome beacon]

That skull value isn't a player username

[young knoll]

Yeah you can't just set the owner to a base64 string

[timid hedge]

"String skullValue"

[chrome beacon]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/creating-custom-heads-in-spigot-1-18-1/

[young knoll]

They are on pre 1.18

[chrome beacon]

Yeah 1.8

iirc

[timid hedge]

I dont want to create a skull, im getting the skull from minecraft-heads.com

[young knoll]

You need NMS then

[glad prawn]

btw that dude using 1.8.9

[chrome beacon]

.8* but yes

I'm aware

[timid hedge]

I do use 1.8.9 but i dont want to create a skull i got the skull im just wondering why it isnt the right skull that is getting placed

[young knoll]

Because

[young knoll]

.

[vast raven]

concluding, I just need to get the top block to optimize?

[young knoll]

That method requires a valid username

[timid hedge]

But look at this "String skullValue"

private void placeSkullOnTop(Player player, Block endPortalFrame, String skullValue) {

[young knoll]

That is not a spigot method

Just because you call the paramater skullValue won't magical make it accept a skull value

[timid hedge]

Okay but if i am using a username that wouldnt still fix the problem with it isnt placed correct

[chrome beacon]

It would if just the texture is the problem

[young knoll]

Wait why are they making an item and then using that to place the skull

what

[chrome beacon]

They have no idea what they're doing

We've given the learn java command 30+ times

[young knoll]

Did you try the version with !

[chrome beacon]

What you're seeing is a mix of spoon and copy pasted code

[quaint mantle]

Is there a DataWatcher field for baby zombies that would prevent them having amror?

it really should be sending us the armor but it seems to be super buggy, only shoiwng certain pieces or none at all

[chrome beacon]

You can probably listen for when the data is sent

and stop it or replace the information

[valid burrow]

is there a way i can stop mobs from growing up without cancelling their growing up event? Like some nbt i can modify or something?

[young knoll]

setAgeLock

You should only send one packet with the whole equipment

Hey, I'm trying to make a cooldown that can be used for multiple events.
Here is my CooldownManager class.

package me.thatkermitguy.medievalmc.utils;

import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.UUID;

public class CooldownManager {

    public static HashMap<UUID, Double> cooldowns;

    public static void setupCooldown() {
        cooldowns = new HashMap<>();
    }

    public static void setCooldown(Player player, int seconds) {
        double delay = System.currentTimeMillis() + (seconds*1000);
        cooldowns.put(player.getUniqueId(), delay);
    }

    public static int getCooldown(Player player){
        return Math.toIntExact(Math.round((cooldowns.get(player.getUniqueId()) - System.currentTimeMillis()/1000)));
    }
    public static boolean checkCooldown(Player player) {
        if (!cooldowns.containsKey(player.getUniqueId()) || cooldowns.get(player.getUniqueId()) <= System.currentTimeMillis()) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

I'm getting the error

Could not pass event PlayerInteractEvent to MedievalMC v1.0-PREALPHA
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.util.HashMap.containsKey(Object)" because "me.thatkermitguy.medievalmc.utils.CooldownManager.cooldowns" is null
        at me.thatkermitguy.medievalmc.utils.CooldownManager.checkCooldown(CooldownManager.java:25) ~[MedievalMC.jar:?]
        at me.thatkermitguy.medievalmc.events.weapons.BattleAxeEvents.onRightClick(BattleAxeEvents.java:21) ~[MedievalMC.jar:?]

Any ideas?

I haven't worked with HashMaps that much so I'm very confused lol

[echo basalt]

why does it have to be static

also your error happens becauase you never called setupCooldown

but this is static abuse

[cyan bolt]

i mean i got an error from intellij telling me it should be static

[echo basalt]

mm no

[cyan bolt]

lmfao

[echo basalt]

.

[lilac dagger]

you didn't used setup

[cyan bolt]

sorry, setup cooldown is called here:

package me.thatkermitguy.medievalmc.events.weapons;

import me.thatkermitguy.medievalmc.items.weapons.BattleAxe;
import me.thatkermitguy.medievalmc.utils.CooldownManager;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.Action;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffect;
import org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffectType;

public class BattleAxeEvents implements Listener {

    @EventHandler
    public static void onRightClick(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        // Potion ability (onRightClick)
        if (event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR | event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
            if (event.getItem() != null) {
                if(event.getItem().getItemMeta().equals(BattleAxe.battleaxe.getItemMeta())) {
                    if (CooldownManager.checkCooldown(event.getPlayer())) {
                        event.getPlayer().sendMessage("Success!");
                        CooldownManager.setCooldown(event.getPlayer(), 10);
                    } else {
                        event.getPlayer().sendMessage("Failed! for another " + CooldownManager.getCooldown(event.getPlayer()) + " seconds");
                    }
                    Player player = event.getPlayer();
                    player.getPlayer().addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.INCREASE_DAMAGE, 5, 2));
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

ew

what the fuck

Guide to dependency injection: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-dependency-injection/

[young knoll]

Mehhh

[cyan bolt]

wait what the fuck i dont think i called it

[young knoll]

Cooldown manager sounds like a fine singleton

[echo basalt]

or just

di that bitch

[young knoll]

You could but why

Not liek multiple instances of it should ever exist

[echo basalt]

so?

doesn't mean you should singleton everything

[opal juniper]

id leave that as static 🤷‍♂️

[echo basalt]

Singletons should only be used in weird niche circumstances where DI is not applicable

[young knoll]

Means you don't have to DI something for basically no reason

[echo basalt]

if you face such an issue 9/10 times it's a design flaw

[cyan bolt]

i just trust intellij at this point, it does 20% of my work for me

[young knoll]

Sure there is an argument about testability but meh

[ivory sleet]

does it? ;) I mean chances are u gonna have different modules that want to have independent cooldown systems lol

[thin iris]

does setting fire ticks add onto the original tick or change it directly

[young knoll]

The method is called setFireTicks

[echo basalt]

you don't want to share cooldowns between eating an apple and running a command

[young knoll]

Not addFireTicks

so

[thin iris]

erm

[echo basalt]

just make it an object so you can have separate cooldowns for stuff

[thin iris]

ok im just asking

[young knoll]

I guess you can do that

Or you can just give each cooldown a unique key and use the singleton

:p

[ivory sleet]

lol like a multiton?

[lilac dagger]

i do have a singleton somewhere

[cyan bolt]

ok im about to test with calling setupCooldowns in my onEnable in main class

[young knoll]

Multiton is a official design pattern now

Deal with it

[cyan bolt]

doesnt work

[echo basalt]

[cyan bolt]

welp i have to go anyways so ill probably deal with this tomorrow

[echo basalt]

also you'll have residual data with your listener if you don't properly invalidate data on quit

[ivory sleet]

it actually is already but yeah guess we have to deal with colls multiton from now and onwards

[lilac dagger]

why would you even need a multiton for?

at that point just use a list of objects

[ivory sleet]

a singleton + objectpool can sometimes for the sake of convenience be a multiton

[lilac dagger]

oh

[ivory sleet]

i mean multiton is rarely ever considered a good pattern, but I mean you can find it being used every once in a blue moon

[dense geyser]

I'm making a system that needs to be able to get offline players by UUID, even some that have never connected to the server before and give their playername. So far, it isn't working and the playername is null by the basic Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(UUID) method. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I wanted to use the mojang api to return information on the account if it didn't exist and then load it into the storage that craftbukkit uses to cache offline players. Does anyone know the method to do that in craftbukkit or where it might be?

[twin venture]

Hi is the item on courser mean this?
the item on the mouse?

like so?

not the item in hand , but the item on courser right?

[young knoll]

yes

[twin venture]

ok then why my code does not work ..

it send the message , but it does not add the item

[chrome beacon]

Try printing the material

[twin venture]

i did it does print it

[alpine swan]

will raytraceentities go through blocks, and is there an alternative that wont go through blocks?

[young knoll]

I know the regular raytrace won't

It'll go until it hits a block or an entity

[lilac dagger]

Is this factory pattern abuse?
``public class SomeObjectFactory {

public void registerBlueprint(String name, Blueprint blueprint) {

}

public SomeObject make(String name) {
}

}``

[ivory sleet]

Don’t think so?

[lilac dagger]

nice

[smoky oak]

Uh is this generated automatically or smth?

[twin venture]

any idea xD?

[lilac dagger]

i think it's intellij who inspected your code and it had come to the conclusion that it follows that contract and annotated it for later

to ignore rechecking it

[quaint mantle]

Hmm... first time I opened bukkit in a project. 😄

[lilac dagger]

it is not getting compiled

[smoky oak]

well all inputs are final

[sullen marlin]

Doesn't that contract mean the method always returns null lol

[smoky oak]

yea

[lilac dagger]

yes

for any input

[smoky oak]

cuz im only doing the methods itself so i can put them in the other project

they're not populated yet

[ivory sleet]

IntelliJ is relatively good at inferring contracts

[smoky oak]

you can stuff null into lots of things without intelliJ complaining

so thats what im using as a placeholder

[young knoll]

public static Object getMeANull() {
  return null;
}

[lilac dagger]

nice

[lost matrix]

Meh, this needs a manual cast

public static <T> T getMeANull() {
  return null;
}

[lilac dagger]

there's also a bug in intellij where it assumes it returns null even if for a specific input it can't

[young knoll]

Ah yes generics were designed for this

[lost matrix]

  public static <T> T surpriseMe(T input) {
    return ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextDouble() < 0.5 ? null : input;
  }

[lilac dagger]

and always surpriseMe("hey").charAt(0)

[lost matrix]

Imagine doing that with a 0.1% chance and then demanding someone to reproduce the error after they got it the first time

[lilac dagger]

haha

[smoky oak]

thats what logs are for

im pretty sure even if theres a jackson in here hes got no idea what youre doing

[ivory sleet]

Yeah I think

Altho that might be easiest by providing a custom serializer

[smoky oak]

oh wtf theres actually a java thing called jackson

[ivory sleet]

Yes its the faster json library to just gson

And hella enterprisy

Ugh, I don’t remember but maybe yeah

Or at least u need to set some option I think

[lost matrix]

Ok, but why?

[dry hazel]

the JsonProperty annotation should suffice, no?

[lost matrix]

Jackson can just serialize enums by using their name

[dry hazel]

if you want to make them case insensitive, there's a MapperFeature for it iirc (ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_ENUMS I think it was named)

[lost matrix]

public enum Icon {
    ONE,
    ...
}

Will serialize just fine for properties

{
   "icon": "ONE"
}

Explain what you mean by that

[dry hazel]

you can change the serialized name in @ JsonProperty

[ivory sleet]

Are you using a weird enum morice?

[young knoll]

Why not just have the enum and strings be named the same way?

[lost matrix]

Why not just use PYRO and HYDRO directly?

[smoky oak]

ask spigot

[ivory sleet]

Sounds like you should be using Fire, Water etc as much as possible as well

And only map it to those fancy names such as Pyro and Hydro for the end user

[thin iris]

HELP

[alpine swan]

I am trying to check if the player is currently allowed to build or if other players will block the building but im not sure what I should put in as the arguments, i cant really make new blocks in the world to input into it

[smoky oak]

?

[alpine swan]

I am calling a blockplaceevent to see if any other plugins will cancel it to see if the player is allowed to build

but im not sure what arguments to put into the event creation

[lilac dagger]

there's BlockCanbuild

[alpine swan]

because i cant really create new blocks etc

[lilac dagger]

or something like that

[young knoll]

You don't need to create a new block

[kind hatch]

Why are you calling the event?

[young knoll]

You can just use the existing one at that location

[lost matrix]

Well, then get the block at the players location...

[pastel relic]

Whats the text above the item bar called? Not the action bar the thing on the bottom.

[young knoll]

The action bar

[opal juniper]

thanks coll

[young knoll]

Idk what else there is

[opal juniper]

do you mean the item name?

[young knoll]

Ah that

That's client side

[lost matrix]

I think he means the item names

[opal juniper]

cause you can’t change that

[young knoll]

You could probably put an item in their hand for a single tick

Might work

[kind hatch]

There's probably a packet that can be sent.

[young knoll]

Well yeah
