When i launch mcp (trying to open it in intellij) all the dependencies are at another location from another mcp, and i have just changed them all and when im opening intellij it sets them back again, is there a way to fix that?
wet breach
you would need to know resolution in order to calculate pixels. but blocks are 1meter tall and 1 meter wide, and 1 meter long
slate tinsel
you would need to know resolution in order to calculate pixels. but blocks are 1...
Okay, so there's no easier way to know how tall a block is?
worldly ingot
You could make use of its collision shape, https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/block/Block.html#getCollisionShape()
wet breach
well, knowing that a full block is what I said, it should be fairly easy to calculate all other blocks based on that
worldly ingot
Get the collision shape, getBoundingBoxes(), iterate over said bounding boxes and find the highest y value
There's your height :p
wet breach
the alternative, is to just make a list of all block sizes
worldly ingot
I mean yeah but have fun making that list lol
wet breach
lol
worldly ingot
I suppose if you're checking a very specific set of blocks then possibly better, at least it's O(1).
But otherwise you can just use the method I suggested
rotund ravine
I mean if he goes through all types of blocks onEnable or smth and saves their height, he’d be at O(1) in a HashMap still 👀

do maven modules make the jar size significantly bigger? ever since i made my project multi-moduled the jar size has been about twice the size it used to be
not a huge deal, but i'd prefer to keep jar sizes small
rotund ravine
No
worldly ingot
Might just be shading an extra dependency you missed
hushed spindle
unpacking my project shows it only has the essentials plus some jeff media stuff which it had before anyway
or is that not the right way to check that
rotund ravine
That’s a fine way
worldly ingot
Yeah, .jar files are just an archive you can unpack :p
hushed spindle
then im not sure where the doubled file size came from lol
project before produced a jar of like 800kb and now thats 1800
rotund ravine
Maybe you weren’t shading properly before?
river oracle
unpacking my project shows it only has the essentials plus some jeff media stuff...
you probably shouldn't be shading essentials?
worldly ingot
THE essentials lol
hushed spindle
no not literally "essentials"
river oracle
lol
hushed spindle
essentials 🤮
river oracle
how many modules do you have though
hushed spindle
i was using the jeff media plugin preset thing which seems to do its shading fine
didnt support multi modules though so i had to change it up
currently it only has core, dist, and one for nms which is currently just 1
rotund ravine
didnt support multi modules though so i had to change it up
.
You changed smth
It got bigger
Boom
hushed spindle
yeah

Issue solved

but WHAT
rotund ravine
Whatever wasn’t there before
river oracle

Does maven not have a minimize function for shading?
hushed spindle
it does and im using that
river oracle
Does maven not have a minimize function for shading?
not really wise to minimize if the dependency uses reflection, but You could otherwise
rotund ravine
Guess ur using one extra class or smth that has a shit load of dependencies
river oracle
it does and im using that
how big is your jar
hushed spindle
mind you when i didnt use it the jar became like 8mb big lol xd
used to be 800kb now its 1800kb
rotund ravine
Not really that big
rotund ravine
Not that big
river oracle
that's still fairly small, though that little stuff shouldn't be that big make sure you're not shading stuff multiple times etc. if you're not you're all good to go
rotund ravine
You can just do github releases and link to those
hushed spindle
fair
im not saying its big im just wondering where the extra size is coming from
and 8mb for a plugin is rather big considering thats just code
not any configs or presets or whatever
river oracle
You can just do github releases and link to those
Not sure how he managed to make such a big jar from so little stuff. My NMS library, My Core Library, AND my Database lib which shades a database platform with minimal exclusions ends up at 2mbs
that includes the size of the plugin I shade into as well
river oracle
im not saying its big im just wondering where the extra size is coming from
send your poms and label them
well first how many classes do you have abouts
hushed spindle
is there a quick way i can see that lol
river oracle
if you have a couple hundred the size would be expected
hushed spindle
its probably roundabouts there
rotund ravine
is there a quick way i can see that lol
Hm
Open the archive
And see how many individual files are in it
If u unzip it and hit properties it should show
hushed spindle
666 files right then
rotund ravine
Probably about right
river oracle
sounds about good for that size then
river oracle
erm you uhh configured something incorrectly
hushed spindle
YEAH
undone axleBOT
hushed spindle
yeah ill do that lol

For once the time I spent properly learning maven may pay off

don't use maven shade in NMS and Core. Idk if this is the cause, but there is nothing you need to be shading there
you don't need to depend on GSON
spigot provides it

This is a lot of dependencies to have just sitting around in your parent project? do you really use them all in EVERY modules? that's the only reason you should ever really put something as a depend in your parenti could just shove em to core i guess yeah
river oracle
despite them being marked as provided I'd find it suspect that the shade plugin being literally everywhere as well as you not carefully choosing which dependencies to put where may be the issue
hushed spindle
also i put gson there because supposedly using 2.10.1 fixed a specific bug i was having, it didnt solve it but i forgot to remove it
river oracle
leads me to believe you may be shading and relocating multiple times
rotund ravine
Ew lombok
remote swallow
i heard the word gradle
rotund ravine
i heard the word gradle
Not doing anything with it atm sadly

we can ignore that for now one problem at a time here
intellij has ways to delombok and lombok classes
hushed spindle
so just remove the shade plugin part yeah?
and yeah im not even using lombok so im removing that too lol

I'm back again with more bit funniness... Because I can't figure this out!
This code works fine, EXCEPT for negative numbers. Ik why, cause the twos-compliment causes the bits to always have all leading "1"s. So something like this for "-5": 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111011 and I want too insert the "-5" into a long at a specific place. But then all of my bits to the left get turned into "1"s when I shift it in.
So I made a mask, ie the 0x000000000000FFFFL too ensure that only the last 16 bits are put into the long... but that still breaks everything, why?
hushed spindle
thought it would make certain stuff easier and i ended up making a whole lot of not use out of it

so when there is a minecraft update
how do i decide if i need to update the plugin or not
rotund ravine
Do you use nms?
grand flint
i might

Do you use any deprecated or staging bukkit/spigot api? @grand flint
gleaming yarrow
is it preferable that we create threads or do we just ask away like this
rotund ravine
is it preferable that we create threads or do we just ask away like this
Just ask, we mostly don’t care.

Do you use any deprecated or staging bukkit/spigot api? <@709468715510530108>
no my server
gleaming yarrow
Thanks, I have a piece of code that I can't figure out why it's not working
rotund ravine
Wasn’t asking that
grand flint
or 1.21+
rotund ravine
Well no matter about that either way.
If you use nms, you should probably go recompile for each version
rotund ravine
Thanks, I have a piece of code that I can't figure out why it's not working
Hmm?
?paste
undone axleBOT
grand flint
ye
so id need to update
if i use protocols right?
so wait if i use protocol as my protocol library for all my plugins
id need to only update procollib right?
rotund ravine
Sometimes
remote swallow
if theres nms changes between versions yeah, eg 1.20 and 1.20.1 is compatable so you just need it for 1.20.1 but 1.20.1 has different internals to 1.20.2 so you use 1.20.2 nms
rotund ravine
If there is a major protocol change you might need to change smth
gleaming yarrow
grand flint
like the config state
hushed spindle
the entire point of protocollib is that it allows you to manipulate packets without having to update nms each time a new update comes out
hushed spindle
you could i guess
rotund ravine
Mostly
gleaming yarrow
https://paste.md-5.net/oxezarokot.cs
I want it to allow me to cancel the drop event and cycle through the different 'modes' by pressing Q

an aquaintance of mine who does some software work asked me this when I was telling him that im gonna do an API to make other plugins access same configs and he basically asked if its not possible to make that so that Plugin 2 could use Plugin 1's config, is that possible?
hushed spindle
like honestly updating nms isnt hard at all, takes probably a couple minutes maybe
if you dont use nms or packets or whatever the quickest way to figure out if your plugin needs to be updated or not is literally just to test it out lmao
fix the errors and continue on
usually
hushed spindle
net minecraft server code
remote swallow
an aquaintance of mine who does some software work asked me this when I was tell...
if you add an api to plugin 1 and give plugin 2 the dep it can work
hushed spindle
you can
sometimes a version change is a little more sneaky though, like 1.19 to 1.20 they changed it so that SmithingRecipes no longer get registered to the server. You had to either use a SmithingTransformRecipe or a SmithingTrimRecipe. bit annoying because it didnt throw errors
grand flint
ye but u can read the update log for that stuff right?
chrome beacon
No
hushed spindle
yesn't
smithing recipes got changed is about the furthest it goes, so you might wanna check your smithing mechanics then
rotund ravine
an aquaintance of mine who does some software work asked me this when I was tell...
Yes
hushed spindle
configs are just files, why shouldnt you be able to access em
(from other plugins)
shadow night
I'd expect bukkit to have some shitty anti-malware system or something
grand flint
so if i have like just a simple chat plugin
rotund ravine
Hkjk
grand flint
that wont need to be updated most of the time right?
hushed spindle
probably not
rotund ravine
so if i have like just a simple chat plugin
If you just use the spigot/bukkit api then no
Most likely not
hushed spindle
the simpler the plugin the less likely it is it needs updating, obvio
gleaming yarrow
that wont need to be updated most of the time right?
if it's already on 1.19+ probs not
hushed spindle
but text based shit is even less likely
grand flint
okk
and where do i find hcanges between updates
for plugin development
to know if i need to update or not
gleaming yarrow
honestly I always forget so I always just update and see whats broken and then google the methods
rotund ravine
If smth breaks it’s time to update
gleaming yarrow

hushed spindle
put some tape on it and its as good as new

@drowsy lion are you codez14?

use like mysql or mongo
look here:
hushed spindle
or sqlite
grand flint
have an api plugin that manages ur database with quick methods
let other plugins manage their own configs, and if they need to save anything or get anything to the database
then u get it from the main plugin which manages that
nothing to do w configs
config isnt a player data saving place
its for plugin data
storm crystal
which idiot told u that
it might have been Y2K or smile
chrome beacon

hushed spindle
maybe use configs to read the database connection stuff?
rotund ravine
Well ur probably doing something that doesn’t require a database

I was asking questions about databases and they told me to use configs

It entirely depends on what you're doing
storm crystal
Well did you want a config for settings rather than a database
no

using configs for extensive data storage isnt great no, for storing a handful of small little things you want an admin to be able to edit is probably fine i guess

custom enemies (stats, names etc.), custom items, player stats etc.
I can see why they recommended a config. You really don't need a database to store custom items or enemies
player stats on the other hand should be stored in a database

so what if I want lets say plugins to just read information and thats it, not edit it at all, can I make them read those from same config?
storm crystal
You'd normally interact with the plugin api
and how to make one?
chrome beacon
and how to make one?
Make some code that is accessible from the outside of your plugin
then depend on that plugin and call the api methods
sterile token
OtherPluginMain otherPlugin = (OtherPluginMain) getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("OtherPlugin");
String smth = otherPlugin.getConfig().getString("something");
This is a simple example, how you get an instance from another plugin.And then access its own config

That would be how you read the config of another plugin

REST API is different than an API
hushed spindle
in the simplest terms, it basically is just a means for different programs to communicate with eachother
if you want to make a plugin where other plugins can read and write to your own plugin configs, that just basically means getters and setters for your config properties
why you would want this i dont know
what are you wanting to make anyway
sterile token
This a common error Y2k dont get upset, i used to happen this issue with a backend developer. Because when i talk about him API, he always associate them as REST API's because he was a backend, the same concept change depending your area

A properly structured plugin should be fine having those 3 features
which are?
slender elbow
average daily discord occurrence
hushed spindle
the item, enemy, and stat features you were talking about
its fine to have them all in 1 plugin
i mean heck my plugin combines custom crafting management and loot tables and stats and shit just because my goal for the plugin requires those features to be there
storm crystal
should I save customconfigs on plugin disable if I want plugin only to read those?
hushed spindle
what do you mean
if your plugin is only reading configs then no you dont need to save them again

Hello there! I am learning all the events and such, so I'm working on the PlayerDeathEvent right now. I am wondering what way I can get the item that was used to cause the killing blow. I have tried a few things like killer.getItemInUse() (where the killer is the event.getEntity().getKiller() Player object). I have tried to google it but answers are from ~2012 and are telling me to use a deprecated function getItemInHand(). Any suggestions?

That's a good start, thank you! Will try to figure it out! ❤️
the given solution may not work if the killer used a bow, since a bow might be in either main hand of off hand (or neither, if the killer switched their hands inbetween shooting and killing). this also wont work for any entity, just players.
if you want it to work for any entity killer:
you can get the last damage cause
if the damage cause is an EntityDamageByEntityEvent get the damager from said event
if the damager is a projectile, check if its projectilesource is an entity
if not, the damager itself will be what might have killed them. then you can get the item in their hand
mind you, this will not account for entities that die from non-entity causes. if you hit an entity and they die from fire ticks for example the last damage cause will be of said fire ticks, so that might not work entirely. You can solve this by keeping track of specifically the last EntityDamageByEntityEvents an entity took, and also probably at which time that occurred so you can decide when such an event should no longer be responsible for somethings death
like the first solution, it also wont work entirely for getting the bow used to shoot the entity since entities and players can switch their bow slot away between shooting and hitting, so one way to resolve this would be to map the projectile UUID with the ItemStack bow (which you can do in a EntityShootBowEvent listener) and then you know what item was used to shoot which projectile
of course, remember to clear out the entries of these maps when you no longer need them

listeners
zenith gate
Okay well when you create your file and implement listener.
in your main class in the onEnable() you just register that event. getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new FILENAME(), this) then that event will be registered.
your methods you can get easily by just FILENAME.METHODNAME() if they are in other files.
make sure you make them public if you want to access it outside the current class

But I guess if I wanna use the EntityDamagebyEntityEvent, I have to then calculate if that damage is going to kill the damagee, because this event is called just before the damage is being dealt right, so the event itself won't tell me if it's a killing blow?
rotund ravine
Yes
hushed spindle
But I guess if I wanna use the EntityDamagebyEntityEvent, I have to then calcula...
you dont have to stop using an entitydeathevent, you just use it alongside that damage event so you can more accurately guess which attack killed an entity
if you solely want to count entity killing blows then you wont need to do this, if you want to account for causational deaths (like burning to death after the fact or being thrown off a cliff) then this is handy
basically all you do inside that damage event listener is mapping it to an entity and recording the time at which that event was taken, nothing else
glacial coral
Ah okay that does seem a bit easier 😄
hushed spindle
then in the death event you check if that entity is recorded, and check if the time at which that damage event was taken is sufficiently recent enough to be considered
and then you got the accurate entity damage event which caused the entity to die
hushed spindle
two hashmaps should do it
glacial coral
Oof that's a variable type I haven't heard of
hushed spindle
or alternatively make a little record containing the damage event and time and then 1 map will do it

storm crystal
if thats poking fun then I must have become a swiss cheese by now lol
wait so when do I want to pass JavaPlugin and when I want to pass main class instance
hushed spindle
like, think of it like this. Rpg is your implementation of the JavaPlugin class, JavaPlugin doesn't know about your customPlayerDamage() method, Rpg does. If you put JavaPlugin in your constructor you can pass Rpg into it because Rpg extends JavaPlugin, but unless you then cast that JavaPlugin to Rpg you cant use the behaviors that Rpg has
because it doesnt know JavaPlugin is an Rpg yet
like, JavaPlugin is a Fruit but Rpg is an Apple. All apples are fruits but not all fruits are apples. Apples know how to roll() but Fruits might not
thats my baby way of explaining that lol
tribal cypress
That's a nice way of explaining tho, good work
hushed spindle
which btw that allows me to explain the difference between static and non-static. static variables you can see as the properties that belong to that class in general, static methods are behaviors that apply to the class in general. non-static variables are properties that belong to only the instance of that class and likewise non-static methods are behaviors only that instance has. take for example
Apple {
static boolean hasRotten = false;
public static void setRotten() { hasRotten = true; }
}
when you call Apple.setRotten() suddenly all apples are rotten, might not be what you want
but
Apple {
boolean hasRotten = false;
public void setRotten() { hasRotten = true; }
}
now you cant call Apple.setRotten() because its not static, instead you do
Apple apple = new Apple();
apple.setRotten();
and now only that apple is rotten, you're still free to make new apples which wont be rotten

The PlayerInteractEvent may be called once per hand. If you only want code to be executed once, you can check the result of https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInteractEvent.html#getHand(), then decide functionality.
For example, only executing code if the main hand was used:
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
if (event.getHand() != EquipmentSlot.HAND) { // * if the hand used is NOT the main hand:
return; // do not progress past this point |

// provide functionality

The delay thing would be super easy if you have a task that runs every tick and you store the timestamp of the creation of the entity in it's PDC.
Then in your task you iterate over all entities in the world and check if the PDC entry is there, and if it is if it is too old.

private BukkitRunnable runnable = Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(() -> thing, myPlugin) // this will cause an ERROR because fields are intiailized BEFORE the constructor so myPlugin is null
}
as you see in the example no matter the order FIELDS are initialized before the constructor. The runnable can't use myPlugin because it is still null.
even though you set it to myPlugin in the constructor java couldn't give 2 fucks seeing as it only intializes the fields first and as far as java is conerned at this point your class looks like below
public class ExampleError {
private final MyPlugin myPlugin;
private BukkitRunnable runnable = Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(() -> thing, myPlugin) // this will cause an ERROR because fields are intiailized BEFORE the constructor so myPlugin is null
}
Java doesn't even care about your constructor only once the constructor is run does java begin to factor in the value you assigned myPlugin to. As you see within the field MyPlugin myPlugin it has yet to be assigned a value

You can init your field in the ctor

you can use whatever naming convention you want, just stay consistent with it. usually I go with SimpleData or something along those lines, but at the end of the day its up to you. Or if your implementation is abstract you can do AbstractData
river oracle
give me an example of what your impling
cuz sometimes their is something more specific you can use too

Dusk do yourself a favor and go through a few Java courses
You're just wasting your own and our time
chrome beacon
They don't need to
because if you understand the fundamentals you'd also understand how methods are called and what the scheduler actually does
storm crystal
yeah but getting stuck in front of black console trying to get desired input is kinda blunt and boring

almost every problem I've seen you have is because you lack an understanding of Java fundamentals

the fact that I dont answer to everything doesnt mean that I dont read it
wet breach
they will totally teach about bukkit runnables
Bukkit Runnables is just an extension of Runnables which comes from the Java API
and yes java courses will teach you about runnables
chrome beacon
the fact that I dont answer to everything doesnt mean that I dont read it
so how come we always end up in a loop of the same question
Like we told you multiple times how to solve the problem
wet breach
it is weird they are having this much problems with Java considering they supposedly know another language
storm crystal
since when know equals to know everything
wet breach
do you know what an API is?
wet breach
you should if you know another programming language, the concept of an API isn't different because of the language
storm crystal
I think we are only past if and loops
wet breach
if you know how to read an API for one language, it shouldn't be super difficult to read an API of another language
storm crystal
do you know what an API is?
not really but I established that i dont need it

this is a special keyword
storm crystal
yeah but I cant just do this.BukkitRunnable
wet breach
anytime you use this, it means you want to reference a variable that was declared in the class and not the variable in the method
variables in classes can come from a parent class too, which happens if you extend something
quiet ice
||Let's not introduce them to OuterClass.this though||
wet breach
lol
storm crystal
I mean okay I got this and how do I access this outside in some method, like I know of scheduler.runTask but idk what to type in field of BukkitRunnable
like it doesnt really have a special name or anything like that
chrome beacon
quiet ice
RTFM
If you have:
public class OuterClass {
private final JavaPlugin plugin;
private final BukkitRunnable runnable;
public OuterClass(JavaPlugin plugin) {
this.plugin = plugin;
this.runnable = new BukkitRunnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// Do stuff here
}
};
this.runnable.runTask(this.plugin); // In order to start the task on the **next** tick
}
}
this method creates an anonymous inner class. If you want to instead be able to invoke the run method at a later time, you either create an inner class for it or you create its own class that extends BukkitRunnable.
depends what you need really
quiet ice
Of course, in this circumstance you might eventually see the need for ||OuterClass.this|| but I believe it's best to hide the existence of that feature until absolutely necessary as I think I'd be confused as heck if one were to introduce me to this feature 4 years ago
Yeah, it's best to have it be it's own class
wet breach

Of course you could also use Local classes but that is another thing done rarely

i feel like it makes quite alot of sense if you understand Anonymous classes
quiet ice
It makes sense, but only once you know that the constructor of anonymous classes isn't what it says they are
quiet ice
You need to invoke the method runTaskLater on the BukkitRunnable, not on the Scheduler
quiet ice
So instead of Bukkit.getScheduler().rtl(plugin, runnable, delay) you have runnable.rtl(plugin, delay)
storm crystal
like that?
quiet ice
Yeah
Although, uh honestly given in the context of folia I don't think that makes much sense but whatever - Folia is a large rewrite regardless of this
wet breach

just fyi, that math will make it run 1500 ticks later
