[sick edge]

@young knoll one question: What do you do if you need multiple Inventories of one CustomInventory (if i see it correctly an Instance of CI is a specific CustomInventory so you cant instantiate multiple of that)?

[smoky oak]

why shouldnt you be able to? if its separate for people make multiple instances, if they look at the same inventory open the same inventory for em all

[sick edge]

Because the CustomInventory itself is already an instantiation of the CustomInventory Class

[smoky oak]

wlel

good luck i guess

[remote swallow]

a class would extend custom inv

wait

when did it cahnge

@young knoll smh

[sick edge]

yeah thats what im doing anyway but just wanted to know how it's done there

[young knoll]

When did what change

[remote swallow]

you added more generic

[wet breach]

but generics are awesome

[remote swallow]

yeah but changes

[young knoll]

Lol

If you want multiple instances you just make multiple instances

[short pilot]

what's a good way to implement an invites system for a factions plugin? Store the invites per faction mapping to a player or something?

[ivory sleet]

Depends on how you gonna structure the usage of ur invites

[sick edge]

Ok I guess it would work with like a for loop for each team

[ivory sleet]

But presumably you prob want the invites encapsulated inside some faction object

[short pilot]

i have a factions manager object

would that make more sense?

then perhaps i could map player UUID to a faction ID

[ivory sleet]

You wouldn’t store the invites there tho lol

And manager is usually a bad name as I assume that class is just a glorified map, no?

[short pilot]

something like that

so what would you suggest doing in this case?

[ivory sleet]

Ugh i mean keep the “manager” although its more of a repository class

I just said that it makes sense to encapsulate the invites inside a faction object, you don’t agree?

[wet breach]

there is a few different ways to do this, but it all depends how you are saving the info to begin with

[short pilot]

hmm ok

[short pilot]

how would you suggest checking if a player has an invite from a faction if they were invited but didnt accept, and then logged back in?

i was planning to notify them like a sort of mail thing

[ivory sleet]

Faction#isInvitePending(player)
or sth like
Faction#getInvitationState(player)

You can make so the invitations are expiring after x time period subsequent to creation

[weak meteor]

yea i dont like gradle for some reason

[ivory sleet]

Not gradles fault

[weak meteor]

mine? D:

[ivory sleet]

You just haven’t specified what dependencies to shade etc

[weak meteor]

should i?

[ivory sleet]

I mean yes?

[weak meteor]

idk

new to gradle

[ivory sleet]

ah you probably need to add a shade plugin (shadowJar)

[weak meteor]

lemme show you the whole build.gradle

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[ivory sleet]

Since I assume you’re developing against gradle’s normal java plugin

[weak meteor]

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

[weak meteor]

idk im using Minecraft Dev plugin for IntelliJ

[ivory sleet]

That thing is like a tutorial island without any finish line, it has some niece QoL features but def lacks some stuff

[weak meteor]

so...

should i change to maven

[remote swallow]

no

just add the shadow plugin

https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.github.johnrengelman.shadow

[weak meteor]

thanks

[ivory sleet]

(Then you run shadowJar instead of build (or jar))

And the output file should be named with the suffix -all

[weak meteor]

uy

i added the id plugin

now what should i change

(im new to gradle ig)

[ivory sleet]

Nothing

[remote swallow]

you just change the task you run

[ivory sleet]

You just run the task shadowJar instead

[weak meteor]

oh

okay

[ivory sleet]

yeah, its pretty nice for being an external plugin you have to add

[weak meteor]

and now i guess its something from the api

i do not like dynamodb

lol

[young knoll]

Wait do people actually run shadowJar

Rather than making build depend on it

[remote swallow]

ye

[weak meteor]

it worked

now i can be happy

[ivory sleet]

Yes the issue iirc is that build would still run some other tasks redundantly even though shadowJar in theory should substitute all of jar

[weak meteor]

can i use color codes when im using Logger#info?

in the JavaPlugin class

[hazy parrot]

Try ansi codes

But there is really no reason to do that

[wet breach]

typically for logging purposes you shouldn't use color codes as these codes will show up in the log file and make it harder to read or find the info you are looking for. So it looks good when you have the console up, but that is it.

most people who run servers are not even looking at the console, and even if they were the console has a limited history you could scroll back to

[short pilot]

how do i store entire objects on mongodb or is that not advisable

actually scratch that i dont think i installed it correctly

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-mongodb/#nosql-databases

trying to install it using this page but idk what to do with the jar with gradle

[wet breach]

you would shade it in

reason you don't shade in the connector for mysql is because spigot already has it shaded in

but spigot doesn't shade in connectors for all DB's mongoDB being one of them

[sterile token]

Why all spigot tutos explain mongodb against MongoCursor instead of bson document?

[remote swallow]

the command stuff in my current plugin is so jank but its the best way i can think at the moment

[sterile token]

oh nice, how does your command structure work

[remote swallow]

basically uses the arg command handler in my lib to create the start command, then it janks into another handler with another impl of that to work with it only have args that it will need

[sterile token]

oh okay

its public lib?

[remote swallow]

yeah

[sterile token]

would i take a small look?

Im designing mine and wants to have idea

[remote swallow]

https://github.com/The-Epic/ebiclib/tree/master

[sterile token]

So far thought them as Single and Parent structure, where Single represent a command with none implicit arguments. While Parent, has implicit arguments or other parents associated to it. What do you think about it?

[remote swallow]

the names could probably do with some work but the idea works

[sterile token]

right i having some nightmare around recursition

Specially with parent, because one parent have more parents associated to it and that into an infinite chain. Which ends in recursive execution

[remote swallow]

the way mine works is there an abstract simple command handler, takes a permission and overides tab complete to return an empty list, then my arg command handler allows you to create sub commands, but its desinged so you can stack it as it extends simple command handler

[sterile token]

yeah mines is similars to you

yours Arg command is mine Parent, same with simple command is my Single

i will have to code it carefully hehe

[grand flint]

How can I make it always the latest version, whenever I create a new project it starts with 7.3.3

[remote swallow]

[weak meteor]

yo

question

this ShadowJar stuff

puts all dependencies on the Jar right?

[remote swallow]

the ones that should be shaded yes

[river oracle]

All the ones you tell it to

[remote swallow]

shouldnt you be asleep

[river oracle]

It's 8pm

[remote swallow]

and

you have to wake up at 5 am for college

[weak meteor]

how should i tell the plugin which to shadow

[remote swallow]

use implementation over compileOnly

[weak meteor]

like this its ok ig

[river oracle]

Don't shade spigot 💀

[weak meteor]

k

[remote swallow]

kek

[weak meteor]

like this?

[remote swallow]

ye

[weak meteor]

cuz im trying to obfuscate

but the obfuscator cant think for itself so i gotta put all dependencies in jar either dependencies for the obfuscator

and stuff

BUT IM NOT EVEN USING LOG4J BRO

[wet breach]

shouldn't bother with obfuscating

[sterile token]

When obfuscating, you must tell the obfuscator what libraries you used. So it doesnt obfuscate them

[weak meteor]

a

[river oracle]

Spigot does

[weak meteor]

i know but if im new to this i gotta start learning and stuff

[river oracle]

No reason to learn obfuscation

It's a waste of time

[weak meteor]

where is the cache of gradle

or any other way to get the jar of the implementation?

[sterile token]

I told him first time when he ask for obscuators recommendation. But who want to obf will try everything

[weak meteor]

yes

[river oracle]

Your code isn't special enough to be obfuscate

[weak meteor]

never backdown never giveup 💪

[sterile token]

But he will realize he will just lost time

[weak meteor]

i know im losing my time

[remote swallow]

most ive done in the past 3 weeks

[sterile token]

@river oracle it is a canonical event, we can not intervene

[weak meteor]

YE

[remote swallow]

NEVER BACKDOWN NEVER WHAT

[weak meteor]

NEVER GIVEUP

chatgpt is slower than my ass

bros been thinking since 1984

[sterile token]

free version what more you can expect

[weak meteor]

k

[sterile token]

Premium doesnt even take more than 1m to answer longer question

What do you want to obf i can do it for you if yo uwant

[weak meteor]

thats like paying for skins in fortnite ☠️

ur paying in a free game

[weak meteor]

nah

dont wanna bother u

[sterile token]

no bruh, thats not how it works

[weak meteor]

i know

just lemme have an argument in not paying gpt plus

or however its called

[sterile token]

i dont know what you wondering to say, but all same shit about premium things until they give a try

[weak meteor]

well

[sterile token]

Is that same that saying that Copilot is like paying air when thats is totally fake. Its even more powerfull than any other AI rounding

[weak meteor]

thats kinda true

[remote swallow]

@river oracle opinion on reload confirm

[weak meteor]

i dont pay copilot

its given free for students

👲

[river oracle]

Why

[wet breach]

while I don't disagree with learning, what exactly are you looking for obfuscation to teach you?

[remote swallow]

wondering

[weak meteor]

idk

[wet breach]

obfuscation doesn't stop anyone. MC is a prime example

[river oracle]

In what context

[weak meteor]

how can people be so unoccupied to reverse engineer a 2usd plugin

[wet breach]

MC used obfuscation, and yet we still managed to do what we wanted with it

[remote swallow]

development

[weak meteor]

mc was obfuscated?

[remote swallow]

still is

[sterile token]

Oh thats a gentle man, not many explains about obfuscation. They just keep that knowledge for them like if its gold when is totally the oppsite

[river oracle]

It's fine as long as it doesn't break your plugin

[wet breach]

there is no knowledge to obtain from it

[weak meteor]

well i was talking that with @sterile token

if people want the code, they'll get it

but they'll need to know how to do it

[remote swallow]

feck sake

[sterile token]

?

[weak meteor]

like, i dont want to gift it

[remote swallow]

i making something that relies on worldedit percents, and its annoying bc it uses weighted random

[sterile token]

obfuscating it or not is the same as gifthing it

[weak meteor]

well

yeah in part

[river oracle]

You're code is not special it's nothing revolutionary stop obfuscation especially for plugins of open source software is pathetic

[wet breach]

The reason obfuscation can be defeated is learning java and the JVM. If you learn those two things you would understand why obfuscation is pointless with the exception of minimizing sizes I guess, but size isn't an issue when your project isn't even going to take up a tenth of space of HDD's

[sterile token]

Everything that is understood by a machine is understood by a human.

[wet breach]

Its not that, Java was never designed with protecting code

[river oracle]

Not necessarily true ai is a perfect example

[weak meteor]

lemme be happy

[remote swallow]

@worldly ingot i blame you

[river oracle]

Obfuscation won't provide happiness

[wet breach]

because Java was more geared towards the Enterprise side and in the Enterprise side its actually far easier to control businesses in what they can and can't use without using obfuscation

so it wasn't seen as a necessity to incorporate such things

Sure change the name of methods and classes, doesn't stop me from naming them myself

[sterile token]

You are going to laugh too much but I have read bytecode of obfuscated plugins and it was just a waste of time, because it is garbage programmed code. Here is an example, where why obfuscate if the code is no big deal.

[wet breach]

as long as you have a decent IDE you can see where all methods are used and variables

[wet breach]

did you ever look at the metadata?

[sterile token]

yes

[wet breach]

then you would know there is no hiding anything

[weak meteor]

fuck it

i'll not obfuscate

so difficult

[wet breach]

Well it is, and with very little to gain from it

[weak meteor]

BUT THE PROBLEM NOW IS

how tf do i protect my AWS credentials?

[wet breach]

this is why like 99% of java projects do not bother with it

[sterile token]

not difficult, wasting of time, thats the correct term

[weak meteor]

well, its true that i can change them

but

[wet breach]

use a restAPI

[weak meteor]

its not what i would like

[weak meteor]

what u mean

[sterile token]

what you trying to do??

you want to add a DRM? If not doesnt make sense that question

[weak meteor]

look

[wet breach]

I forget the kind of credential system, but anyways you validate through a restAPI with a different set of credentials. And the restAPI is the one that keeps hold and secures the aws credentials without exposing them

[weak meteor]

IAM

but to access iam

u need 2 keys

access

and secret

the ones like lined

[remote swallow]

is aws for storing data from the plugin, or is it saving stat data for the plugin

[weak meteor]

its just a simple License manager

[remote swallow]

rest api

[sterile token]

just remove it

[weak meteor]

no cuz people will crack the plugin

and thats not the idea

of selling something

[wet breach]

people can crack anyways

[weak meteor]

people do anything to get free stuff

[sterile token]

yeah they can crack it even more easier than if you obfusate it

[wet breach]

its not overly difficult to decompile, remove your license thingy and recompile

[remote swallow]

it sends/asks for the data the rest api responds with what it needs, to check just ask for xyz rest api verifies then queires aws

[sterile token]

yeah exactly that

[sterile token]

He did a simple DRM

[weak meteor]

whats drm

[wet breach]

but now, if you use something like a RestAPI you wouldn't necessarily stop them from using the plugin

but you can stop them from accessing the data

[sterile token]

it is a technology and set of access control techniques used by content creators, publishers, and distributors to protect digital media

[remote swallow]

idk why people care so much about people cracking their plugin, oh no they want to use ur plugin

[weak meteor]

well

i used to crack plugins

[sterile token]

yeah lmao, and then you see the code and is trash. said it by personal xp HAHA

[wet breach]

just know not even native applications are safe from cracking either 😉

[remote swallow]

if i ever do decide to sell premium im just gonna publish it free on github with source code bc if they want to use my plugin i would rather it have no malware from cracked sites

[sterile token]

you can even reverse engeenier native apps so dont lost time

[wet breach]

Now here is the thing though

if you have to combat people from taking your plugin, you are going about it the wrong way to deal with it

that is, you are not actually addressing the problem

[sterile token]

Yeah first thing you must do for selling, is licenses nothing more efficient than that

[wet breach]

the problem may be your price is too high if you are seeing too many so call stealing it

maybe release a limited free version

[weak meteor]

like lightspigot?

didnt think about jt

it*

[wet breach]

but those who steal it though had no intention of paying, and those are not your customers, and if them stealing it isn't affecting your loyal customers you can largely ignore it. Adobe Photoshop became popular because it didn't really care people stole it

it was free advertisement to them

they knew you could crack it easily and they didn't put much effort into it beyond just needing a key but the thing is, someone had to buy the key first 😛

this is how Photoshop became popular and reason anyone knows it

but they knew it would get spread around and it would be all people talked about because friends would recommend it

Adobe was brilliant in this regard

[weak meteor]

Well

Ye i know plugin will be cracked

[thin iris]

Can falling blocks glow?

[weak meteor]

BUT STILL THE PROBLEM IS HOW DO I PROTECT MY AWS CREDENTIALS

[wet breach]

I already told you. You are going to need a service like restAPI

or one way hash the credentials

[weak meteor]

hmm

[wet breach]

but if its merely to pull a license, restAPI can do this easily

[weak meteor]

that should be in a server i bought right?

[wet breach]

RestAPI basically revolves around endpoints to provide information. the RestAPI Server is the one that does the actual work to get the info you requested

however you will need to have some small server to host the end points

[weak meteor]

cuz i was also thinking of doing that instead of using DynamoDB

[weak meteor]

yea thats the problem

but aws does give free servers for 1 year

[wet breach]

however there might be a better way

[weak meteor]

And well 1gb ram and 1 vcore should do for just some http get requests

[wet breach]

why not sign user certificates instead?

[weak meteor]

what u mean

[wet breach]

you can validate users to something via certs

[quaint mantle]

i keep getting this error whenever i try to load my plugin

[wet breach]

the thing that wants to validate provides the cert and then you can check against your cert if its valid

still need a small server but this is less intensive and you only need a HTTP server for this

like a really small one

talking about only need a couple hundred of megabytes XD

and virtually no HDD space

except to hold the http server really

its basically impossible to fake a 502 cert

you would need to get a hold of the signing cert in order to fake one

[remote swallow]

why is it all on 1 line

[quaint mantle]

idk

[remote swallow]

does it showa s 1 line in logs?

[quaint mantle]

1 sec let me fix it

[weak meteor]

going to search abt it thanks

[remote swallow]

do you have a plugin.yml or a paper-plugin.yml

[wet breach]

it won't stop the stealing, but this just helps you validate your users in a more efficient way

[quaint mantle]

yes

[weak meteor]

stop stealing is imposible

I still crack FL Studio 😻

[wet breach]

lol

[remote swallow]

somehow i dont think yes is an answer to an or question

[quaint mantle]

[remote swallow]

?paste plugin.yml, ur main class and EventToggling if its not ur main class

monospace is also smooth

i love how i awoke everyone by screenshotting pastebin

[quaint mantle]

thanks, it worked

[remote swallow]

they appeared, said stuff, and left again

[worldly ingot]

Yeah because it was awful

[remote swallow]

what husky cani have

[sterile token]

What the hell

Invalidating cache momment just for checking IJ is not bugged haha

[thin iris]

is .forEach just for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers())

[sterile token]

?

getOnlinePlayers() returns a Collection<Player>, it doesnt return a list of locations

[thin iris]

oh

wtf

[sterile token]

If that what u meaning

[thin iris]

i typed in location

i’m too tired for this shit

[sterile token]

haha

me too

imagine im having a compilation error which isnt maked by IDE

hahah

Some time IJ doesnt make sense when giving errors

[restive mango]

Why does adding an item to an inventory that belongs to a chest blockstate and then updating the blockstate not add the item to the chest in the world?

How can I do something like that?

[wet breach]

?nocode

[undone axle]

It’s hard to answer a programming question without code
Oh no! You ran into a problem. But no worries, people are willing to help, but first they need to see your code. This is because otherwise, they would be providing help based on guesses instead of concrete knowledge. 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.

[restive mango]

i assume you're saying that, no, normally that does not happen?

[wet breach]

It depends how you are trying to do it

but we be guessing in what you are or not doing without something to look at

there is api methods to update the state of a block and methods to feed data to create said state

[restive mango]

BlockState preState = event.getBlockPlaced().getState();
Chest thisChest = (Chest) preState;
thisChest.getBlockInventory().addItem(item);
thisChest.update(true, false);

does not add the item, for example

[sterile token]

Doesnt make fkg sense

Does it?**

[wet breach]

well it says string can't be converted to a string array

[sterile token]

yeah that why doesnt make sense 🤔

[fading gull]

Ur saying it can?

[sterile token]

what?

[fading gull]

String can be converted to string array?

[sterile token]

Im just said that the issue doesnt make sense, because im never converting string into String[]

Must be an IJ compilation failure i will update the maen-compile-artifact in case its bug or broken

Some times java has many weird issues that you can realize

[thin iris]

try use a String[] as the params

[sterile token]

i would but who uses String[] for sending many texts? commonly is used List but will try tho

[thin iris]

hmm

[sterile token]

Even Config#getStringList() returns a List instead of String[]

Vectors are not used now a days they used to be used

[thin iris]

for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
if (!p.hasPermission(permission)) return;
for (String str : text) {
p.sendMessage(text);
}
}

[sterile token]

yeah i know, but must work with what i sent

[thin iris]

?

[sterile token]

If it would work the IDE must be putting a red flag over the code even before compiling, just during coding process

[fading gull]

Uh which one is lime 46 and 51

[wet breach]

String[] is valid to use, many methods use it, such as main method for example uses a string array for arguments

[sterile token]

yeah they sucks too much hehe

[thin iris]

why wont this work

[wet breach]

but your issues is how you are doing foreach, its best when having issues with lambda's to break them down to see what is really going on

[sterile token]

i mean its perfect, but i want to find what causing mines not. If its the same thing

[wet breach]

this is the very problem I hate with lamdba's in where it hides details

[sterile token]

what do you mean by that?

[slender elbow]

goofy ahh maven compiler

[sterile token]

If the compile exception is what it must be - IDE should mark an issue even not compiling - isnt it?

[slender elbow]

that is valid java code, and javac builds it fine

this is peak maven

[sterile token]

yeah must be a maven compiler issue - there is no other logical explanation

[fading gull]

Pls send screenshot with line numbers

[thin iris]

Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().stream().filter(p -> p.hasPermission(permission)).forEach(p -> Arrays.stream(text).forEach(p::sendMessage));

[wet breach]

its not a maven compiler issue

[thin iris]

try this

[wet breach]

and it seems slokx is on the right path here

[sterile token]

right, will try compiling with it

[slender elbow]

that exact same code is built fine by regular javac and gradle

so there is something else maven is messing with here

[thin iris]

maybe it’s language level or sdk

[sterile token]

okay def was that. I updated to latest maven compiler and compile now

[thin iris]

which code

[sterile token]

💀

[thin iris]

mine or urs

[slender elbow]

😄

[sterile token]

all of them

Maven has extrange bugs haha

You should nevertruth of its issue

[fading gull]

Interesting, I'll keep that in mind

[sterile token]

But thanks to all for trying to help

[wet breach]

well it depends which java versions too, since sometimes implementation does change

[sterile token]

tried with 8 and 18, was the same issue

[wet breach]

that isn't what I meant

I meant maven compiler versions are sometimes specific to a java version or a range

[sterile token]

oh you mean the language level right?

[sterile token]

oh okay i understood what you meant

[wet breach]

also just fyi, you can with maven specify a specific compiler

you don't have to use the maven compiler

[wet breach]

but yeah sometimes the problem you are encountering isn't always related to the compiler, and its just due to the combination of lambda's put together

either way now its fixed and you can proceed onwards 🙂

[sterile token]

yeah, thanks to all

[warped shell]

I created some Shapeless Recipes and registered them to the server, I also discovered them for all players, but while the recipes work when manually crafting them, they do not show up in the Crafting Menu unless I select all recipes. The recipe output is enchanted and the ingrediants have lore

[wet breach]

I would help but recipes is one of the few things I don't really mess with 😦

hopefully someone can help with your problem lol

[weak meteor]

Yoo nopox

what u doin here

[icy beacon]

This occasionally just happens

Should be fixed after a fresh recompile

[quaint mantle]

whp are you

[quaint mantle]

whys this happening?

[weak meteor]

i was friend of rodri

Talked to u few times

[shut shoal]

I uploaded a premium resource the last 6 of october and it wasn't aproved yet

😦

[upper hazel]

Is it better to save block data in text format or in key format. Which object is best suited for the player to save the placed block?

in file

[hybrid turret]

Can I somehow set the permission-message in my onEnable for each command instead of having to run getCommand() every single time?

[upper hazel]

what?

[lost matrix]

What is a key format?

[lost matrix]

    PluginDescriptionFile descriptionFile = getDescription();
    for(String commandName : descriptionFile.getCommands().keySet()) {
      getCommand(commandName).setPermissionMessage("Some message");
    }

But in your onEnable you need to use getCommand(...) for every command anyways because you need
to reguister an executor for them... So whats the point?

    String permMessage = "You are a bob and cant use this";
    
    PluginCommand someCommand = getCommand("some");
    someCommand.setExecutor(new SomeExecutor());
    someCommand.setPermissionMessage(permMessage);

    PluginCommand someOtherCommand = getCommand("someother");
    someOtherCommand.setExecutor(new SomeOtherExecutor());
    someOtherCommand.setPermissionMessage(permMessage);

[upper hazel]

standard yml format

[lost matrix]

I would use the String format for BlockData. Its easy to save and deserialize.

[upper hazel]

what better use blockData?

or blockState

[lost matrix]

You cant serialize a BlockState

[upper hazel]

oh

[lost matrix]

I mean you can, but its a hustle. And you need the BlockData anyways.

[upper hazel]

what will be if i will use 1 data file for save for all blocks placed by all players

or better use several files?

[smoky oak]

u can def use 1 file, depends what you need that data for

[lost matrix]

That sounds like a data nightmare. Use one file per chunk.

[smoky oak]

again, depends what you need it for. There's a plugin that tracks what players do, so that's stored in one large database. but if you just want to know which blocks have been generated naturally and which havent, you can just use the chunk PDC to store a bunch of booleans (though I'd recommend bit packing here)

[drowsy cosmos]

I used setTarget on a skeleton to target a ravager when i hit the ravager. But the skeleton still aims for player. Is there something else to add?

[hybrid turret]

Perfect (both variations), thank you

ykw, before i refactor my shit, can I use colors in these?

[lost matrix]

Try listening for the EntityTargetEvent and make sure the skeleton doesnt switch back.

[rigid otter]

In the BlockGrowEvent, what is the difference between event.getBlock() and event.getNewState()? Does the event.getBlock() sticks in the old state?

[rotund ravine]

What does the javadoc say?

[rigid otter]

Javadoc is unclear

[rotund ravine]

What does it say?

[rigid otter]

Gets the state of the block where it will form or spread to.
getNewState()

[rotund ravine]

And the other?

[rigid otter]

Gets the block involved in this event.
getBlock()

[lost matrix]

getBlock() is the origin of the event and getNewState() is the target state (which involves the position).
I assume getBlock() will return the origin Block which is still in the original state.

[upper hazel]

BlockData not serizible what i shold to do

use components?

[lost matrix]

You can get a String representation of it that can be deserialized with the Bukkit class

[upper hazel]

BlockData not serizible

not impl serizible intarface

oh

so stream classes not need??

bukkitStream

ByteStream

etc

oh

lol

[mortal hare]

Is there any way to have a view of list on top of collection (not a copy), i dont care about ordering at all, i just want to forcefully put collection where list is expected (it wouldnt break the implementation, its just an artificial constraint to put list there, because it copies to its internal list afterwards you put it anyways)

[lost matrix]

I mean list is a collection already. Try to explain a bit more.

[lost matrix]

Who expects a list? If its your own method then you can probably rewrite the method to take a collection instead.

[mortal hare]

bukkit command api .setAliases() expects a list, but it doesnt make any sense, since the aliases aren't ordered in any way

my wrapper returns Collection<String> for aliases instead of List<String>

so i cant plug it into command.setAliases()

[lost matrix]

Either make your api return a list or use a quick wrap using List.copyOf(yourCollection)

[fallen grove]

are the people that approve plugin resources in this discord? i need to tell them they did a bad job in one of my last attempts to be approved after one week!

[mortal hare]

i can just do new ArrayList<>(collection) but in that case i would create a copy, that would be fine, but internally .setAliases() copy the elements in the same fashion

so im cloning the collection twice

which isnt really great tbh

[lost matrix]

Its not like you create aliases every tick. Its just called once and then its done. 50 micros more or less doesnt matter.

But i see how it is a bit annoying

[mortal hare]

i give up, i will change my return type according to the bukkit api constraints :/

neither java collections, neither fastutil have an adapter of list interface for collection

[lost matrix]

Because its kinda impossible unless you throw an UnsupportedOperationException in almost every method

[mortal hare]

its possible it would just break the rule of the list that every element's order is deterministic

[lost matrix]

Then write a quick wrapper

10min max

[upper hazel]

what going on

[mortal hare]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[mortal hare]

https://paste.md-5.net/tuwosodira.java is this enough?

[lost matrix]

This will cause problems for many cases. Index access is really important if someone wants to
do an index iteration.

[mortal hare]

ik but this is only going to be used as a collection

just as another type

[lost matrix]

myeah ok

[hybrid turret]

Btw, is the permissionMessage automatically sent, upon the player missing the permission set in the plugin.yml?

(oops, sorry for pinging)

[rapid vigil]

What is better using == for checking enum value or .equals?

[hybrid turret]

Google says == is best practice

[shadow night]

iirc == compares instances, .equals(...) compares object values, not sure how that helps but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rapid vigil]

and what is the difference between them

[lost matrix]

Doesnt matter. Enum impl internally just uses == for .equals anyways. So == spares you one method call.

[rapid vigil]

ok thanks

[shadow night]

.equals is used on strings, because if you have two different String instances they're not the same since they're different objects, but their values might be the same

[lost matrix]

== checks if the objects have exactly the same memory address (meaning they are exactly the same object)
.equals() checks if two objects "look" equal in terms of their internal structure, even when they are not
exactly the same object.

[bronze crystal]

just dont use == for non primitive data values

[hybrid turret]

What about checking if objects are null?

[bronze crystal]

== null?

[hybrid turret]

Yeah

[bronze crystal]

oh ok yeah in this case yes

but i mean comparing

[hybrid turret]

But i also heard about Objects.equals(obj, null)

[bronze crystal]

yeah I also heard about that but actually never use this

[hybrid turret]

^?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[bronze crystal]

yea

h

[hybrid turret]

Perfect. This just made my code a whole lot cleaner lmao

[orchid gazelle]

permissionMessage does not work for me smh

[hybrid turret]

wym?

Mhh you can‘t get the commandLabel somehow in the plugin.yml, right?

[mortal hare]

Objects.equals(obj, null) is practically useless, its used when there's two object references which might be one or two of them null Objects.equals(foo, bar), so it checks the null cases before doing .equals() operation

[hybrid turret]

Oh so just use obj == null i‘m guessing?

[mortal hare]

if you dont have another reference, just use the way you wrote it rn

[clear elm]

how can i make that crystals make normal damadge like in cpvp?

[lost matrix]

What is abnormal damage to you?

[clear elm]

do you now cpvp?

if i crystall on my server crystal make much less damage

[hybrid turret]

Funny thing is a couple days ago i finished a massive refactor of my code (it was all kamehameha arrows) which also included changing obj == null. to Objects.equals(obj, null) lmao

[lost matrix]

Im guessing that they implemented a custom explosion with knockback and damage

[clear elm]

okay

[ivory sleet]

thats meaningless

obj == null implies Objects.equals(obj, null)

[shadow night]

When you compare something to null it's basically checking if that object is defined, exists or whatever

[sick edge]

Hi, how would I get an advancement out of the PacketType.Play.Server.ADVANCEMENTS in Protocol Lib? Can I get it as a json or smth like that?

[shadow night]

It's basically just like telling your friend to bring something if he has it, then when you meet you ask him if he does have it

[modern ridge]

Hi, can i ask ?

[lost matrix]

?ask

[undone axle]

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

[modern ridge]

how do i fix mysql problem like ‘The last packet successfully received from the server was 55,058,023 milliseconds ago’

im using HikariCP

on my spigot plugin

[valid burrow]

the connection died

[modern ridge]

yep i know

when i idle the plugin

so it cause this error

[valid burrow]

every time you send new package check if connection is up if not make a new one

thats the simplest way

[lost matrix]

Make sure to use your connections for only one execution and then close them again.
Always get a new one.

[modern ridge]

3 hours so this happen

[modern ridge]

oh ok

[young knoll]

With Hikaricp you should close the connection after you use it

[lost matrix]

Thats what HikariCP is for

[modern ridge]

okay thanks

[valid burrow]

yh sorry i overread the hikari part

[granite owl]

is the minecraft server inheritly single or multithreaded?

if we dont consider BukkitRunnables etc

[subtle folio]

there is a main thread

that all block related activities happen on

[gleaming grove]

BukkitRunnables are tasks executed in the main thread

[granite owl]

so theres only 1 main thread and one for networking and one for chat?

[young knoll]

No

[granite owl]

oof

[young knoll]

There’s a main thread, a chat thread, several networking threads, several worker threads, several craftbukkit worker threads, and a watchdog thread

[ivory sleet]

bukkitrunnables are executed on server thread if you don't use the asynchronous variants where they would be executed in a cached thread pool instead

all bukkitrunnables are however ticked on the server thread

[young knoll]

^

[granite owl]

isee

🙏

[ivory sleet]

what coll said also, (might b noteworthy to mention that the actual logic processing usually happens on the main/server thread, that is all the ticking, most physics etc)

[young knoll]

Yes

The worker threads are pretty much only used in worldgen

Chat thread is for chat
The networking threads are for packet sending and receiving
And the watchdog thread makes sure the server is still responding

[ivory sleet]

yeah, I mean it makes sense, its hard to split up the actual logic to different threads (altho folia does it, it def comes at a cost)

[modern ridge]

like when a player join so it use mysql data and after that so i would do close connection right ?

or update mysql data

like that

[young knoll]

Yes

Use a try with resources to handle the connection

[modern ridge]

okay

im new to HikariCP

its different but managed well

so i choose it

[lost matrix]

Sure. Just make sure to never use the main thread for IO like Databases.
Every event runs on the main thread and blocks the mc server unless there is "async" in the event name.

For loading player data, use the AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent and for saving use the PlayerQuitEvent but start
a new thread or use an async bukkit task.

[modern ridge]

okay thanks

[scenic onyx]

how i can resolve it?

[sick edge]

Is there maybe a ProtocolLib Discord I couldnt find any online?

[ivory sleet]

itsss fine if it happens during startup, else yeah

[mortal hare]

Do you guys prefer ORM's like JPA/jakarta (hibernate for example) for database management, or do you handle JDBC operations manually with DAO's?

[ivory sleet]

its more to put in into an orm, then what you get out of it

esp if u solo a project

it can be nice for group projects

[mortal hare]

i 100% agree

i've used hibernate with spring before, hell it is bad when you want to optimize something

for me personally no matter how i setup my annotations to do lazy loading, it will always send inefficient queries

like instead of returning a all columns in one query

it will spam query requests for each column

its pain in the ass

[ivory sleet]

yeah

[mortal hare]

sometimes

[ivory sleet]

and if you wanna optimize it accordingly to your needs you'd need to invest time in understanding the implementation of said orm

which I mean, thats just a lot of work

now still, that might be better than to have 10 different devs with 10 different opinions on how the data modelling should be structured

[young knoll]

And then spigot 1.20.2 breaks your hibernate

Sadge

[ivory sleet]

lol

[bronze crystal]

so this is my package structure for the project, would this be the right shadedPattern value? trying to set up bstats ```
<relocation>
<pattern>org.bstats</pattern>
<shadedPattern>at.evipez.craftingtableplus</shadedPattern>
</relocation>

[scenic onyx]

pls

[ivory sleet]

do it like at.evipez.craftingtableplus.shaded.bstats

to avoid conflicts

[bronze crystal]

but I don't have a package named shaded.bstats

and if so, what would I put into it

[ivory sleet]

You cant call getPlayer()

[ivory sleet]

it will create one

dw

[bronze crystal]

so I just create the package shaded.bstats and use <shadedPattern>at.evipez.craftingtableplus.shaded.bstats</shadedPattern>?

[ivory sleet]

dont create no package

[young knoll]

You don’t even need to create it

[ivory sleet]

maven will do that for u

[bronze crystal]

ah ok

ty

[scenic onyx]

nope

[ivory sleet]

idk what exactly u're doing

but based on the previous error UserConnectEvent is happening on AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent

[subtle folio]

you cant call getPlayer nope, i cant??

[ivory sleet]

which means, there is no player object present

[quaint mantle]

People before docs were invented

[scenic onyx]

a, i want User by player

[ivory sleet]

there is no player to begin with

You are trying to call Bukkit.getPlayer with a null name

[ivory sleet]

oh nvm

[bronze crystal]

I updated the shadedPatttern and built with maven but no package was created

[scenic onyx]

i know, but i dont wont Player but User by Player.

[ivory sleet]

did u pick the right jar?

[ivory sleet]

then add that feature

[bronze crystal]

https://just-paste.it/Bgjp15616b/

my pom

[ivory sleet]

you'd need to have some sort of injective Map<Player/UUID,User>

[scenic onyx]

Is there a way to get the user from the player?

[ivory sleet]

its your code right?

[scenic onyx]

no

[ivory sleet]

how is it not ur code when

yes but User is not my

[ivory sleet]

You want to get an IACPlayer by a User?

[scenic onyx]

no, From a "Player player" to a "User user"

i have find it

it go?

[ivory sleet]

idk, I think this is a question you should ask in the packetevents discord to begin with

[scenic onyx]

ok

[brazen hollow]

Logging

[bronze crystal]

what do you mean

[hybrid turret]

Is there a way of displaying a different string when doing return false in a command and when executing /help <command>?

If not, I fucked up

Lmao

[bronze crystal]

i think you are fucked up

[hybrid turret]

For the usage

Oh no

[bronze crystal]

let me do some research

[hybrid turret]

Would be lovely

[remote swallow]

change the usage message in plugin.yml or send your own usage message and return true

[hybrid turret]

Yeah i‘ve had that with my own usage message and returning true + providing a usage in the plugin.yml to display it in the /help menu

Now i changed it by setting the usage onEnable for each command as usage and returning false

Wanted to clean up code

Then I just executed /help <command> and saw the message instead of the usage :(

[ivory sleet]

I think the most common approach is to just yield true and dump messages to the sender inside onCommand

[hybrid turret]

F*ck

All that refactoring here and there took me like 4 hours maybe more. All down the drain now :|

[ivory sleet]

once upon a long time far far away in another galaxy, bukkit created a command api amongst the many living dinosaurs that once roamed the earth, it was at this moment that the initial command api contructed didnt take many aspects into consideration and so we got a simple quadpredicate, but I mean, the dinosaurs didnt really have any needs for complex command building etc like today's brigadier etc

[hybrid turret]

Tbh what bukkit COULD implement is:

command.getUsage(String prefix) (as extra method overloading the original)

Which just returns prefix + usageMessage

The one without prefix is called on /help

[ivory sleet]

bukkit could do many things

[hybrid turret]

The one with is called upon onCommand returning false

That would be like 5 minutes max

Is there a way to submit tickets? Lmao

[ivory sleet]

I mean thats 5 min max for u as well

[river oracle]

PR it then

[ivory sleet]

prefix + command.getUsage()

for u

lol

they typically dont want these kinds of utility functions anyway

[hybrid turret]

Tbh fuck, u right

[opal carbon]

CLA is rather annoying though

[hybrid turret]

CLA?

[opal carbon]

for PRing

[river oracle]

Not really only md5 sees it

[opal carbon]

i understand it legally

but still would rather not

[river oracle]

Unless you're worried md5 is some stalker (he is)

[opal carbon]

like i understand why

just unfortunate

[hybrid turret]

What‘s CLA?

[river oracle]

?cla

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/cla/

[hybrid turret]

Ohh

[hybrid turret]

I mean, I still have to undo everything I did buuuuut that‘s better than what i‘ve had

[ivory sleet]

i havent touched the command api for too long, but i used to just do sth like

@FunctionalInterface interface VoidCommandExecutor extends CommandExecutor {
  void executeCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] arguments);

  @Override default boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] arguments){
    this.executeCommand(sender,command,label,arguments);
    return true;
  }

  public static VoidCommandExecutor of(CommandExecutor executor) {
    return executor instanceof VoidCommandExecutor voidExecutor ? voidExecutor : executor::onCommand;
  }
}```

[worldly ingot]

I'm sorry you put your annotations on the same line as your modifiers?

We can't be friends

[remote swallow]

i had to make intellij stop doing that

[ivory sleet]

lmao, that's... the way it should be! :)

[orchid trout]

is this a weird eclipse thing or is my crappy external drive failing

[remote swallow]

anotations go ontheline above smh

[hybrid turret]

Was a lot faster than I expected. Gotta love regex

[smoky anchor]

I can confirm
he doxxed me once

\j

[hybrid turret]

Omg how could he have known??

Yeah same, i think it‘s just to be ignored. If there‘s a fix to those warnings tho, please ping me lol

[mortal hare]

why tf does intellij cream about using normal comparison operator

when im implementing equals

btw is there any java way to create a case insensitive string

[young knoll]

Case insensitive how

[mortal hare]

sorry

case insensitive string set*

[young knoll]

You could just lowercase everything passed to it

[mortal hare]

currently im using fast util's custom set

[young knoll]

Or make use of equalsIgnoreCase

[mortal hare]

that would require me to for loop it

before adding to set

[young knoll]

?

[mortal hare]

i need to add the collection

not one instance

basically addAll(Collection<String>)

[young knoll]

Ah

Yes you’d have to loop each and lowercase it

[mortal hare]

im wondering is this the best way

that allows me to supply custom hashing strategies

like i've shown in the screenshot

[terse pumice]

How would I go about getting the max damage of an item?

Or alternatively is there a better way to go about dealing damage to an item than damageable.setDamage(damageable.getDamage() + 1);

[young knoll]

Material has a max damage method

[terse pumice]

Gotcha, thanks

Any ideas what event is ran when a player attempts to place bonemeal?

[young knoll]

Interact

[terse pumice]

Hmm thought so

[weak meteor]

for a restAPI

should i use

NodeJS?

[eternal night]

I mean, what rest api

depends a lot on the usecase

but also, what language you are comfortable in

[desert tinsel]

How to copy a world and create another one? I tried something like this but idk if it worked, pls tell me if im wrong:

        WorldCreator worldCreator = new WorldCreator(nameOfTheNewWorld);

        worldCreator.copy(arena.getWorld());
        this.world = plugin.getServer().createWorld(worldCreator);```

the thing is that the original one is a flat world, but the generated one is a normal world

this saved me

void createNewWorld(World world){
     File worldDir = world.getWorldFolder();
     String newName = world.getName() + "_temp";
     FileUtils.copyDirectory(worldDir, new File(worldDir.getParent(), newName));

     WorldCreator creator = newWorldCrator(newName);
     World newWorld = Bukkit.createWorld(creator);
}

[quaint mantle]

Wcreator should have params

For world generation

[desert tinsel]

I need the same world

copied

[eternal valve]

I added custommodeldata to the custom block in my source package, how can I turn off particle effects by specifying this??

with data packs or in model.json

[sick edge]

Hi, Should i use protocolLib with spigot api or nms?

[weak meteor]

from Plugin -> RestAPI -> DynamoDB with Licenses

smth like that

and well

i was reading from IBM

and it doesnt need a specific language, just a standard to do it

and i was thinking NodeJS to learn smth new

shouldnt be that difficult

[eternal night]

I mean yea

if you are gonna setup a separate service that your plugin runs https calls again

nodejs surely works

[quaint mantle]

Nodejs is legacy 😀😀

DAMN

I COULD TRY BUN

its relatively new, right?

[eternal night]

its just a plain http server ¯_(ツ)_/¯

google bard told me to do it with C lang

[eternal night]

I would not recommend C for a webserver

[weak meteor]

lemme see bun

[weak meteor]

i thought the same

[eternal night]

I mean, you can also do kotlin if you want

java also has some great HTTP frameworks (quarkus, spring, etc)

[quaint mantle]

Just not worth it

[eternal night]

ktor for kotlin does its job

[weak meteor]

i could do it with anything im some way

[eternal night]

Yea

[weak meteor]

but i wanna learn something new

wtf is jython

[quaint mantle]

Java and python

gotta make my plugins in Jython then

[young knoll]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/pyplugins.79244/

cuz its easier

[weak meteor]

blud wanna make a server in the server

[pseudo hazel]

and people dont wanna learn new things

[weak meteor]

☠️

[weak meteor]

People dont like change

or its doesnt?

[young knoll]

Python scripting sounds way better than skript

[weak meteor]

people doesnt like change or people dont like change

[mortal hare]

ok, bukkit command api is weird, i've managed to register command which is not in lowercase, tabcompletion detect it as normal, but handler just gives up 😄 im not sure if that's brigadier or bukkit command api which doesnt like this

[pseudo hazel]

its dont

[mortal hare]

it shows as unknown command, but tabcompletion works

[weak meteor]

thanks

[pseudo hazel]

people is plural

[weak meteor]

how tf ur command is in Uppercase

[mortal hare]

reflection hacking

[eternal night]

worth it

[mortal hare]

i wanted to make case sensitive completions, but i guess bukkit doesnt like it

it works with arguments, but not with commands themselves

[pseudo hazel]

sounds very cursed

[mortal hare]

it is

i've spent like 3-4 hours

trying to setup this mess

only to be slashed by the buggy bukkit impl :/

[pseudo hazel]

but why do it in teh first place?

bored?

or is it a client request

[mortal hare]

Because

because

idk

[pseudo hazel]

so bored then

[mortal hare]

hmm

nvm

[mint nova]

Hello, what implements i need to put in my class to get the command with tab-complete method ?

[ivory sleet]

I mean it would be a lot of combinations/permutations that’d show up in chat no?

[mortal hare]

TabCompleter and CommandExecutor

[mint nova]

thanks

[pseudo hazel]

use TabExecutor

its just both interfaces in one

[mint nova]

thanks a lot guys

[mortal hare]

i think i found a bug that you can even guys replicate even if you dont have reflections to have the UPPERCASE completion for commands

according to what i see, aliases are not checked for case sensitivity

so they might invoke the same behaviour that i've sent earlier

for some reason only command.getName() gets turned to lowercase, but not its aliases, they're straight pumped into command map

and that's probably why it bugs out, since handler probably expects all commands to be lowercase, and doesnt check the command itself using equalsIgnoreCase(), but with equals(), thus "Unknown Command" pops up

wait, i've managed it to make it work

wtf

[river oracle]

oh no which one is real 😨

can't wait for Banip2, bANIP2, baNIP2, banIP2, baniP2, banip2...

case insensitive commands

[mortal hare]

nah i just want to have completions the same way i've provided

without lowercasing it

but execution be lowercase

ikr

i've constructed my command framework around the lambdas

they're pretty useful

[mortal hare]

it works, but with one exception, if the PluginCommand's name is lowercase, if not it just rejects the command once again

[hybrid turret]

Can I change what items a block drops?

[mortal hare]

int a = 1_000

[remote swallow]

isnt it unnamed vars

[mortal hare]

its used as a delimiter between numbers

[sterile token]

I need some sort of help with my command api help part. Because im complicated about recursivity which i need to use caused because a command executor can contain more commands or execturos associated to it, like an infinity chain. By my goal is the enxt:

1. If you run the root command with none arguments (for example /faction), will give you the all the arguments and sub commands associated to it.

2. If you run any sub command associated to faction, with none arguments will give you the sub command help.

Im just struggling too much and having an innecesary nightmare

[mortal hare]

int a = 1_000_000
you can have number separator like this and it will compile

kinda useless java syntax feature

[quaint mantle]

Yes

[mortal hare]

and i dont know why it exists

[smoky oak]

for(String key : section.getKeys(false)){
returns a size-0 keyset for this section from the config after calling config.getSection("limit"). Why?

the section clearly exists or it would be null

[remote swallow]

does it exist on the server

[sterile token]

I dont think thats a section

[remote swallow]

it is a section

[sterile token]

sections looks like:

Section:
key: value
key: value

[remote swallow]

there isnt a minimum required

[smoky oak]

no, because I'm not saving it so i dont have to go in there and delete the config every time i make changes to the section. I'm reading it like this

private FileConfiguration config;

    public ConfigHandler(JavaPlugin plugin){
        config = plugin.getConfig();
    }

[remote swallow]

check the file on the server anyway

it should be that

[smoky oak]

nope no folder

debugger:

?

that 'false' is for deep keys innit

[young knoll]

yes

[remote swallow]

sout plugin.getConfig().getValues()

[smoky oak]

is that kotlin?

i cant write that in either the debug console nor code

[remote swallow]

no i said sout as short hand

[smoky oak]

dafuq

but why does the section exist then?

[sterile token]

Section are maps

What you provide in ur template code is not a Map

[pseudo hazel]

what template code

[remote swallow]

if gonna say you call section#set then dont save so the value exists in memory but not on the server

[smoky oak]

wait i had the wrong print i think

what's the format i have to put there?

[remote swallow]

use System.out.println()

not printf

[smoky oak]

ah

thats what i did, resulted in {}

[remote swallow]

tf

sout just writes the sysout code for me

[smoky oak]

bleh where's my config gone to bruh

[remote swallow]

john spigot

[smoky oak]

the deep key list is ALSO empty

wth

[remote swallow]

delete the config file and restart

[smoky oak]

theres no saved config file

[pseudo hazel]

or, hardcode the config

[smoky oak]

see here

[remote swallow]

theres the issue

[pseudo hazel]

and then see if it there

[smoky oak]

?

wait

[remote swallow]

plugin.getConfig returns the file

in the server plugin folder

[young knoll]

Well, the contents of the file

[remote swallow]

not code resource folder

[smoky oak]

pretty sure i can read that out directly

i did that before

[remote swallow]

if you wanna have the config come from resources you need to call getResource and give the input stream to file config or yaml config

[smoky oak]

but thats what the issue here was

[pseudo hazel]

or just save the config

[smoky oak]

no i want to remember how to read from config

ill save it but i want to know this

[pseudo hazel]

then hardcode a config

and try to read from it

[remote swallow]

you call JavaPlugin#getResource and use the input stream

[smoky oak]

FileConfig is abstract and YAML config doesnt take an arg lol

[remote swallow]

YamlConfiguration config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(new InputStreamReader(plugin.getResource("config.yml"))

[smoky oak]

ah

always forget static is a thing

[remote swallow]

kek

[smoky oak]

different topic

what's the debug mod called

the thing that makes your client not disconnect if u debug

[remote swallow]

theres some things you dont disconnect for, the reason you may disconnect is watchdog

idk if any mods exist to make you not disconnect

@eternal night does kenny have one, would be something kenny made

[eternal night]

I mean, just disable watchdog and send keepalive yourself

I have a snippet on gist somewhere

[remote swallow]

how do you expect to send a keep alive while the server is paused
