[glossy venture]

thats what i thought yeah after readin ghte comment

thx for the explanation tho

[noble adder]

maybe head with certain name?

[valid burrow]

are all the heads created by your plugin?

[noble adder]

so if i eventually add other items using head

[river oracle]

use pdc

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[valid burrow]

yh

[river oracle]

instead of item name

[noble adder]

yes

[valid burrow]

give all your heads a data

in der pdc

pdc is used to store data in items and entities

and block entities

[noble adder]

in the listener class right?

[valid burrow]

on death u can then loop through all the items in the inv and remove the ones with the pdc

yes

[noble adder]

ok how do i create a data for the head?

[valid burrow]

youi also need to make sure to add the pdc to the items before giving them to the player

[valid burrow]

.

[tardy delta]

what else have you been doing with classloaders

[hushed spindle]

hold on now

[noble adder]

im using GreatKits its great because when u create a kit when you it , it stores all data of the item even if its modified by a plugin

[hushed spindle]

if you have to basically ask someone to write your code for you maybe you should consider practicing first

on some simpler project

and maybe watch some tutorials first

[valid burrow]

is that an API?

[fluid river]

true

tho cpp also uses :

[noble adder]

maybe i don't reallt know, its amazin though i reccomend

[glossy venture]

oh true

ig

[noble adder]

so if you help me just implement to the head when i get it in-game i will use GreatKits to save it and it stores everyaspect

[glossy venture]

also just more convenient to type

ig

[fluid river]

?

tho c# uses : for both extends and implements

[glossy venture]

doesnt c++ do that too

[fluid river]

never used interfaces in cpp so idrk

public class Shit : Interface1, Interface2, Abstract1 {

}```

[noble adder]

what is the next step friend im alr confused :-:

[river oracle]

you need to learn java

[fluid river]

jree

[river oracle]

or learn basic logistical reasoning

[hushed spindle]

you're taking on too big of a project for your skill level

which to my understanding is basically none

[remote swallow]

no way fourteen brush

[noble adder]

im just trying to modify a plugin its a big waste of time not because i don't want, its because i don't have it

[chrome beacon]

Then hire someone

?services

[undone axle]

If you wish to request or offer development/art/building/administration services, please do so at https://www.spigotmc.org/forums/services-recruitment-v2.54/

[fluid river]

there are also is and as operators in c#

which are not present in cpp

[tardy delta]

cpp doesnt even have interfaces, just structs/classes with a bunch of pure methods if you really want to give it a name

[fluid river]

well that probably explains why i haven't used them

[fluid river]

what the hell is this lol

guys just made an interface operator

[valid burrow]

i dont have any idea what greatkits is so i cant really help u with that sorry

[tardy delta]

thats c#

[fluid river]

that's cpp

[tardy delta]

cpp doesnt have ^, delegate and ref keyword

[fluid river]

ig that's some kind of define shit

for some builds

[tardy delta]

nope those are all valid c#

^ is some kind of managed pointer

[ivory sleet]

cpp doesnt have interfaces right?

Afaik

[tardy delta]

yes

[ivory sleet]

Like you can technically emulate a java interface, but there exists no such keyword semantic

[tardy delta]

why would one even want to

[fluid river]

diamond probleme

[ivory sleet]

equivalent

[fluid river]

yeah yeah

[ivory sleet]

Yes but the diamond problem is easily addressed if the language allow for more precise and specific inheritance semantics

Like java’s interfaces

[fluid river]

well in c# you do interface

not an interface class

[ivory sleet]

C# is not cpp

[fluid river]

so it's not valid for c# too

so idk what this microsoft page is about

https://learn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/cpp/cppcx/interfaces-c-cx?view=msvc-170

[noble adder]

no i does not have to do with GreatKits

[fluid river]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B/CX#:~:text=C%2B%2B%2FCX (C%2B%2B component extensions) is,call Windows Runtime (WinRT) APIs

oh

it's cpp/cx

based on cpp11

so well, that's a variant of cpp

with a lot of #define 's ig

[fluid river]

and modern c# also added pattern matching same to java one based on is operator

[wary harness]

Is it possible to access buyrs list thru some spigot site API

[fluid river]

https://github.com/diogotcorreia/spigot-buyer-list

oh it's deprecated

[ivory sleet]

i believe so

I know the papi devs do it somehow

[wary harness]

this looks old does it still work?

xd

[fluid river]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/get-a-list-of-premium-resource-buyers.277328/

gl with that

[valid burrow]

huh? 😭

[chrome beacon]

What do you need the server for?

[fluid river]

Bukkit is already = JavaPlugin.getServer()

[valid burrow]

getting all online players

[chrome beacon]

Just use Bukkit#getOnlinePlayers

[valid burrow]

doesnt work either

[fluid river]

wdym

[valid burrow]

it says it dowsnt exisz just as with bukkit.getServer

[fluid river]

what does exist in Bukkit. then

[valid burrow]

it exists when it recommends me options

but when i use it

it doesnt anymore

[fluid river]

try mvn update or smth

[chrome beacon]

Try invalidating caches

[fluid river]

yeah

^^

[gleaming grove]

It show error because you are doing it inside for

[tender shard]

for(Player player : Bukkit...)

[fluid river]

it might be cuz you didn't make correct loop?

[valid burrow]

it doesnt work outside the for either

and no it doesnt show the error because of that

[fluid river]

or Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().forEach(p -> { });

[valid burrow]

i know how to make a for loop

[fluid river]

show the error when

[valid burrow]

already did.

[fluid river]

for getOnlinePlayers

[chrome beacon]

ah yeah complete the loop

[fluid river]

butkkit doesn't have getServer() method

[chrome beacon]

and that error should go away

[valid burrow]

Ofc it does

[gleaming grove]

look,

[tender shard]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/Bukkit.html#getServer()

[fluid river]

oh i'm dumb

[chrome beacon]

There's just no reason to use it

since bukkit wraps server

[fluid river]

anyways there's no purpose of ever using it

yup

[valid burrow]

oh okay thats odd but thx

[chrome beacon]

Maight be useful when working with nms 🤷‍♂️

[tender shard]

there's also Bukkit.setServer(Server) lel

[fluid river]

sure why not

code me the thing which would actually change the server

without erroring

setServer(getServer())

[valid burrow]

what if i bukkit.setServer(null)

no more server

[fluid river]

💀 server

[umbral ridge]

interesting

[fluid river]

so well, it's literally useless

[tender shard]

    public static void setServerToNull(Server myNewServer) throws ReflectiveOperationException{
        Field serverField = Bukkit.class.getDeclaredField("server");
        serverField.setAccessible(true);
        serverField.set(null, myNewServer);
    }

[valid burrow]

when is the server not set though

[umbral ridge]

its useless

XD

[tender shard]

before CraftBukkit calls setServer

[fluid river]

well, and you won't ever be able to do your stuff before that

since your plugins require pluginmanager

which is accessed from server

[fluid river]

oh shit

well ig it would still error tho

thing would instantly crash after that code is executed

[tender shard]

why that

[weak meteor]

I need to fix my Adapter for EnchantMeta someone can help me?

[valid burrow]

since when is #showPlayer depricated

[fluid river]

NullPointerException

[weak meteor]

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

[fluid river]

you need showPlayer(plugin, player);

or is it player, plugin

idr

[tender shard]

why should that happen?

[valid burrow]

what if i dont

[fluid river]

won't plugins with listeners try to access events stack

[valid burrow]

will it fail?

[fluid river]

nothing

[valid burrow]

crazy

[fluid river]

thing is just marked as deprecated

check javadocs maybe there is a reason

[valid burrow]

too laty

lazy

if it works it works

[young knoll]

Why are we nulling the server

[tender shard]

we aren't

we're setting it to myNewServer

[young knoll]

I see

[remote swallow]

which im making null

[young knoll]

Why are we overriding the server

[tender shard]

someone asked how to do it without errors

idk why

[young knoll]

sus

[valid burrow]

i forgor how to set event priority

[tender shard]

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
public void onWhateverEvent(SomeEvent event) { ...

[valid burrow]

thats what i did

bruh

i thouhg its wrong

[autumn cave]

How to properly delete a scoreboard? Is Objective::unregister() enough? What about the teams, I can go through and Team::unregister(), but what about the scoreboard itself? Thanks

[tender shard]

how so? remember, LOWEST is executed first, HIGHEST is second-last and MONITOR is last

[valid burrow]

yh i know

only using monitor anyway

[valid burrow]

because usally my memory is that of a potato

so i dont trust it

[glossy venture]

https://pastes.dev/btoN5JOd8I
any feedback on this design?

[valid burrow]

i have no clue what else to call the class when new players join the server that then need have invisible players set invisible for them

any suggestions

[kindred valley]

what was right clicking a block event

[fluid river]

playerinteract?

[glossy venture]

playerinteract

[young knoll]

PlayerInteractEvent

[glossy venture]

lmao

[kindred valley]

how do we get the pdc of a block

i forgot everyting

[glossy venture]

blocks dont hve pdc

[worldly ingot]

(a) PlayerVisibilityListener or something is probably fine
(b) I think it's better to avoid articles in most situations when declaring method names (a/an/the)

[glossy venture]

use chunk

unless ur exclusively dealing with tile entities

[kindred valley]

ah wait i forgot

was only clickables had pdc?

[young knoll]

?blockpdc

if yall dont got any the name stays

[glossy venture]

[glossy venture]

why are the methods LikeThisIForgotTheNameOfTheConvention

[glossy venture]

addNewPlayersToTheSoup is vague as shit tho i thought u were coding a soup pvp server at first

[valid burrow]

thx

[valid burrow]

lmao

[shadow night]

Lol

[valid burrow]

it makes more sense in german

a soup can be a group or a collection of things

[glossy venture]

i want to code this rn but i have physics test tmrw so shit

[glossy venture]

ah

[tardy delta]

would make absent() cached() and pulled() an enum, or is it internally? \👀

[valid burrow]

i stopped about carring about test a long time ago

[glossy venture]

ill prob do that as well

but absent() is cleaner than getType() == QueryResultType.ABSENT imo

or something like that

[kindred valley]

how to get

[kindred valley]

custom model number of block

[glossy venture]

to represent it internally ill use an enum though

[glossy venture]

lmfao

did u just make that

[shadow night]

Yes

It was what I imagined lmao

[valid burrow]

that is exactly what i meant

[glossy venture]

lmao nice

[tardy delta]

static imports :p

[glossy venture]

ig

cant be bothered to do that in every file tho

so ill add the option

for myself

lol

[kindred valley]

were we able to add custom model data to block

[tardy delta]

you're that kind of person that writes c style java code and im fascinated about it

[glossy venture]

lmao

[tardy delta]

is there like any reason to have your field transient?

[glossy venture]

to denote that it shouldnt be serialized

[tardy delta]

you doing some reflective serialisation?

[glossy venture]

thats the whole point of the keyword

yeah

i will

probably

other types of queries will be annoying to do but whatevr

ill prob just do Query.match().eq("myField", 6) or smth but i dont know how to efficiently find that in the cache

[tardy delta]

mongodb syntax is awful

[glossy venture]

maybe some kind of DataAccessor<KitPVPData>

to quickly access fields

[valid burrow]

i hate my live

turns out customer wants plugin for 1.8.8 and ive been using EntityPotionEffectEvent

but it got added in 1.9

thats just awsome

whats the alternative for older versions

[river oracle]

Crying

In nms iirc

[valid burrow]

what if i just loop through all players and check if they have the effect

every few seconds

rathwer

miliseconds

[river oracle]

best option here is to tell them to just cope and turn them away

its not worth the money

[valid burrow]

i already made the entire rest of the plugin

everything else works

just this doesnt

[river oracle]

💀 ashame

make sure you ask for version in the future before starting

I wouldn't do anything under 1.19.4 personally

[valid burrow]

yh its really ass

but im poor

[river oracle]

is this just for players?

[valid burrow]

yeah

[river oracle]

might want to try NMS here, but otherwise you can probably use a shit ton of events and conditional checks here

for exmaple 1.8 has PotionSplashEvent

[valid burrow]

this still seems like the easiest

its like

[river oracle]

you can get a list of affectEntities

[valid burrow]

10 players max

[river oracle]

its easiest but inefficent

what do you need to know the effects for?

if you could expound

[valid burrow]

i just need to check when players get or loose the invisibility effect

need to do some stuff with those players

[river oracle]

by any source?

[valid burrow]

yeah

potion usally ig

[river oracle]

can probably use PlayerCommandPreProcessevent, PotionSplashEvent and add player UUID's to some form of timer task

this way you are never looping on players who don't recieve the effect

[valid burrow]

potion splash doesnt apply to drinking potions though does it

[river oracle]

once their effect expires you can remove them from the cache and trigger the event

[river oracle]

nein but iirc PlayetItemConsumeEvent does

[valid burrow]

nein

[river oracle]

This event will fire when a player is finishing consuming an item (food, potion, milk bucket).

[valid burrow]

arl

thx

pookie

[river oracle]

make sure you also use PlayerJoinEvent

[valid burrow]

already doing that

[river oracle]

so you check on PlayerJoin for any lingering effects and add them to your cache

[valid burrow]

thx thouhg

[river oracle]

[eternal valve]

how to disable backgroudn vanilla gui //

what i want to do is to turn off the bad looking gui in the background when the "custom gui" is open, is it possible with datapack or shader core?

I use "deluxemenui" for special gui

[valid burrow]

you sure you dont wanna be in #help-server

[pseudo hazel]

if you are already using a resourcepack, cant you just remove that texture?

[river oracle]

that'd just be a naive solution

negative space fonts are the way to go here

[pseudo hazel]

to remove/hide textures?

[river oracle]

to hide them

[pseudo hazel]

oh I didnt know that I thought you could only put new stuff overtop

[river oracle]

that's really the goal when you do this you overaly the current inventory texture using the title of the inventory and use negative space to adjust and hide the old textures

[river oracle]

I mean client doesn't sync containers with the server so you can't register new ones and expect the client to recieve them

[pseudo hazel]

yeah I know

but like

a resourcepack is on the client anyways

so how do you hide a texture using negative space?

like in the example image shown above

[river oracle]

you negative space the title to go upwords

that would allow you to utilize the extra slots their too

you can adjust left right up down with negative spacing

[pseudo hazel]

yes that I know

but its just that the design they drew will never not show any of the vanilla ui if they want the tab buttons to work

[river oracle]

that really should be a thought they had then, you can't just remove the texture too because that would break other plugins

its very naive to do so and expect things to be all okay

[pseudo hazel]

like what

[river oracle]

remove a vanilla texture

[pseudo hazel]

I mena what does it break

[river oracle]

the menu? it'll be blank aka not there

[pseudo hazel]

I just mean to edit teh texture to make it dissapear

[river oracle]

or supply the no texture error

other plugins utilize these menus though which is why its naive

you've essentially broken teh design / styling of every other plugin which utilizes that same container

[pseudo hazel]

okay sure

so to fix this issue you would just have to come up witha shape that covers the existing ui

[river oracle]

yes

there is not really a way around it until mojang makes contianers Data Driven and allows servers to sync with clients

[pseudo hazel]

yes true

[river oracle]

even now there are a few things you can do as far as utilizing smaller containers with packets etc, but its no easy task

[pseudo hazel]

okay seems like I was just confused with what you said earlier I think we on the same page now

[river oracle]

but as far as a server owner goes they're options are limited to only using negative space fonts

and they have to conform to whatever the plugin allows them to utilize, as a dev you do have a few more options, but they are indeed very hacky

[quaint mantle]

is it possible to stop an entity's hitbox when riding on a player from interfering?

[grim hound]

if I just keep the same Block object, will it stay updated?

[valid burrow]

good question

honestly no clue

?tas ig

[undone axle]

https://tryitands.ee/

[lost matrix]

A block is mostly just a position in a world. You can keep it and get values from it after it changed, and even after the chunk it is located in, unloads.

[carmine mica]

"mostly" = "literally". It has no state

[river oracle]

Reminds me of how weird Location is lol

In a world where location isn't kinda weird it'd jsut be 3 numbers or a vector

[twin venture]

hi , how would i make it so it send the Arena info each time the arena change its status?
so for example :

• IN lobby
• waiting
• playing
• ENDED
  etc , i already have an enum for it , iam talking about the redis part .
  and i want to show it in a gui of some kind

[torpid jetty]

Hey guys, I'm probably doing this wrong. I'm getting an error that MemorySection's can't be cast to just about anything else. I haven't found a tutorial that spells out exactly how to do this specific part, maybe you all can help? Here's my code.

    public FactionManager readData() {
        if(getConfig().get("data") != null) {
            System.out.println(getConfig().get("data"));//MemorySection[path='data', root='YamlConfiguration'], is this right?
            return new FactionManager((Map<String, Object>) getConfig().get("data", Map.class));
        } else {
            return new FactionManager();
        }
    }```

And here's the contents of the yaml it's trying to read:
```yaml
data:
  invites: []
  factions:
  - members: '[a8570f8f-d7cd-4df3-b864-e7e5b5e71eb9]'
    factionID: b9a7e163-8c91-487a-a7d5-1ee079bf6ef7
    factionName: best
    power: 10.0
    enemyFactions: '[]'
    allyFactions: '[]'

[remote swallow]

have a method that changes the game mode that sends the message through redis when its called

[remote swallow]

iirc a mem section isnt exactly a map, call getValues on the section

[lost matrix]

1. Let FactionManager implement ConfigurationSerializable

    FactionManager factionManager = ...;
    FileConfiguration configuration = ...;
    
    //Save the factions
    configuration.set("factions", factionManager);
    
    //Load the factions
    FactionManager loaded = configuration.get("factions", FactionManager.class);

[hushed spindle]

im trying to implement a feature where i want to change loot drops based on nearby structures, but the documentation says this

whats the point of giving a radius if some structure types can just ignore it? is there any method that detects structures that respects this radius parameter?

[lost matrix]

Just write your data into an RMap and look into it when someone opens the GUI.
Additionally you can use a Topic and publish/subscribe on it.
@twin venture

[remote swallow]

wrong reply moment

[vital sandal]

is there anyway to clone an item?

not ItemStack#clone() it doesn't work that way

[torpid jetty]

Everything seems to be working now. Thanks!

[hushed spindle]

huh..?

so clone an item but not using clone

why

[vital sandal]

The clone() doens’t seem to working

[hushed spindle]

how are you using it

[vital sandal]

The item is still immutated

I clone an item from an inventory and send it to another inventory

If I modify the other inventory the other got modify too

[hushed spindle]

show code

[vital sandal]

like this

[hushed spindle]

show what cloneItem and updateLore does

why is cloneitem in a wrapper method

[vital sandal]

cloneItem is just an utils class that I use to try methods of cloneItem

for this cause you can see it is just return item.clone();

[hushed spindle]

and updateLore i just assume takes the meta, sets lore, applies meta to the given item

[vital sandal]

even removing the updateLore() still result the same

[hushed spindle]

i guess you could also just try doing item.clone() when setting the item to the gift menu

instead of just item

clone it again fuck it

[vital sandal]

well still no luck doing that :l

[hushed spindle]

yeah thats weird lol

feels like you're doing something wrong though because its definitely supposed to keep items separate like that, so you're saying both the item in the original menu as well as the one added to the gift menu are both modified with lore

[topaz kestrel]

Hi. I'm trying to get the entity height but none of these methods work:

Method 1: Using bounding box
So, in this method I used entity's bounding box getter and got the values to calculate like so:

boundingBox.e - boundingBox.b```

This will return the same value as other mobs' height value, so I tried the method 2.

**Method 2: Using length field**
This method also returns the same value like bounding box did.

[hushed spindle]

..what about get height

[river oracle]

a height is BoundingBox.getMaxY() - BoundingBox.getMinY() or for short BoundingBox#getHeight

[topaz kestrel]

I don't have that method. Using old version of NMS.

[river oracle]

oh lol 💀 legacy moment

[hushed spindle]

bruh

[river oracle]

the random letters make sense now

[topaz kestrel]

If I had that method, why would I come here to ask?

[river oracle]

legacy isn't supported especially legacy NMS

you gotta find your own way on this one

[hushed spindle]

i mean have you seen how many clueless noobs come here to ask for questions

[topaz kestrel]

yeah, that reminds me my first days of coding

when I was a really noob and was trying to register a listener. lol

anyways, it's been a while that I'm trying to find a way to get a exact mob height, however I can't find any.

NMS is always challenging.. smh

even Citizens use Entity#length to get mobs height. They don't know this is wrong. lol

[vital sandal]

I think the problem is creating 2 inventories like this?

do you have any idea?

even with no operator both inventory are now the same one?

[young shell]

@river oracle just checked the PR again... Arguably nothing went really wrong though? Is md_5 for real?

[river oracle]

I mean technically speaking he is right nothing "went wrong" per se quite literally nothing did go wrong though. What did happen though is a server owner removed a plugin that changed their server which they shouldn't have done

I've yet to write out a proper response since I'm busy with school

[young shell]

fair

[river oracle]

imo this isn't spigots job to be cleaning up after plugins that misuse features or cleaning up from server owners removing key plugins form their servers and expecting everything to go away without warnings/errors

[sullen marlin]

Literally all it is is a warning message?

I'm confused why you're being so aggressive about this

[river oracle]

oh yeah md

is there a reason Advancements don't have a proper API in spigot

just not been PR'd?

or is there some other underlying thing

[sullen marlin]

Wdym proper api

[river oracle]

uh creating them is what I meant

Bukkit Unsafe has something to load it from json

but there's nothing programatically

[sullen marlin]

Because it's a json datapack nightmare

[river oracle]

😨 I see

I was thinking I might take a crack at it after finals are over, but ig I'll have to look closer

[topaz kestrel]

md do you have any ideas how can I do this? I think you are so familiar with NMS.

[river oracle]

@sullen marlin oh btw if you are just not going to remove that line its fine you / I can decline the PR when i get around with it

[river oracle]

again that is legacy modern spigot API provides BoundingBox methods that do this for you, you won't find much help with NMS here especially legacy. It should just be the maxY - minY. if that doesn't yield correctly especially at an NMS level might be legacy jank

[sullen marlin]

Sorry no idea, but it sounds like the correct approach. Have you tested 1.20.2

[topaz kestrel]

I'm using 1.8.8, I already know there is a method in 1.20.2 called getHeight()

[sullen marlin]

Shrug

?1.8

[undone axle]

https://howoldisminecraft188.today/

[river oracle]

wow 8 years 4 months

[topaz kestrel]

boundingBox.e = maxY
boundingBox.b = minY

[river oracle]

1.8 is older than some of my cousins

[river oracle]

then i'm not sure especially on such an old version too who know how tf it worked back then

if you're getting the entiies bounding box and your sure thats it should work

[topaz kestrel]

yep, because I use https://mappings.cephx.dev/ for mappings

[topaz kestrel]

I mean if I wasn't making SkyWars plugin, I would really switch to 1.20.2

You can't really make 1.20.2 PvP like 1.8, even with plugins.

It will look so odd and buggy and most of the mechanics that are in 1.8.8, wouldn't be in 1.20

[lost matrix]

You would think that the skywars bedwars kitpvp market is saturated for 1.8 at this point...

[river oracle]

not enough

not yet

[topaz kestrel]

and also it uses so much CPU and ram.

[paper viper]

and u think

that yours will be better

someone has already probably poured years into their skywars plugin

[dry hazel]

more features, more resources

[river oracle]

idk what year your in but if your PC can't run 1,20 you need an upgrade :P

[paper viper]

i mean nothing wrong with coding the plugin again, but really reconsider your options

[lost matrix]

For vanilla definitely. But if you tailor your server for you needs you might be better off.

[topaz kestrel]

My PC is alright. You won't believe that the best server aspect you can get is Xeon 2667 v2

[paper viper]

I mean, there could be a million other things bottlenecking your server...

[topaz kestrel]

what thing?

[paper viper]

wdym what?

[topaz kestrel]

what thing would make my server bottleneck?

[paper viper]

1. your cpu has many threads but many mc server operations are performed on one thread (only some are async)
2. memory
3. hard drive or ssd
4. network
5. server configuration (server software, plugin configuration)
6. type of plugin you are using
   7)... so on

all we're trying to say is that it isn't worth your time to make another 1.8 skywars plugin

[topaz kestrel]

yes, but if there was 16GB memory and only few plugins on server, what would you say?

[glossy venture]

no never enough 1.8

[glossy venture]

not old enough

[paper viper]

we dont care about how powerful your server might be - we're just recommending u to either update or code something different

[lost matrix]

1.8 is a pretty small clientele. Pretty sure the hand full of servers are all running pretty much the same plugins.

[topaz kestrel]

Why should I code something different? when the market needs a good SkyWars plugin?

[lost matrix]

lol

[topaz kestrel]

there are some SkyWars plugin out there, but they aren't like Hy server

even if they are, they might be so old or outdated

[glossy venture]

idk what clientele means but many servers custom code many of their plugins and network infrastructure, only having 'essential' plugins like essentials and worldedit for the common utilities

[lost matrix]

There is nothing to outdate. Your plugin will be as outdated as theirs from day one...

[paper viper]

and it will forever be outdated

its not like you can keep up with years of work lmao

some of these plugins were there since 1.8 was latest version

[glossy venture]

invaded and minemen have custom coded infrastructure and plugins for sure

[topaz kestrel]

in the community we have lots of fork for 1.8 that is updated and will be updated as soon as possible. there are so plugins that still support 1.8 and etc. How can you say 1.8 is old and no one should use it?

[river oracle]

oh god this debate again

[lost matrix]

There is only a tiny fraction of servers running custom code.
And even less 1.8 ones. ~90% runs 1.16+, about <5% runs 1.8

[river oracle]

smile this is where you post the BStats graph and stop talking

[paper viper]

XD

[glossy venture]

a large fraction of the actually played servers do tho

i dont think hcf servers like cave are going to use some scuffed spigotmc plugin to make money

[grim hound]

What are you arguing about, exactly?

[lost matrix]

pfff

[river oracle]

1,8 outdated or no

[glossy venture]

some setups might run pre made server cores with grants, bans and staff chat n shit

[grim hound]

By what meaning?

[topaz kestrel]

I'm sorry but who cares about how many people use 1.16 or something new? when 1.8 is a good option, it is a good option. who really likes to use an outdated thing? I'm just trying to say that 1.8 is taking less usage than newer versions

[glossy venture]

also if theres stats for player count across versions id like to look at that

[river oracle]

🤷‍♂️ who tf knows its definitely outdated and should just die in the dirt already. Mojang really fucked up with 1.9

[lost matrix]

So? Thats just a result of being unique. No argument for 1.8

[torn badge]

Bro it's 8 years old of course it's outdated

[ivory sleet]

I mean if you use a ducttaped 1.8 fork, go to their server and ask for support, end of it?

[topaz kestrel]

I know there are lots of good things and good APIs to use on 1.20 but because 1.20 uses so much usage, it's not good for a PvP server.

[grim hound]

Was it released long ago? Obviously.
Is it still used? Very much

[glossy venture]

u started talking about every server running the same plugins not me

[river oracle]

DuckTapeSpigot 1.8.8 💙 my favorite fork

[lost matrix]

About every 1.8 server. And the point still stands.

[grim hound]

So I don't get what kind of outdated are you arguing about

[glossy venture]

what point

[ivory sleet]

for spam pvp mayhaps

but pvp in modern minecraft works just as well, altho u rely on different mechanics

[lost matrix]

That pretty much every 1.8 server runs about the same plugins at this point. The market is saturated.

[paper viper]

players when they now have to actually use their brain to pvp 🤯

[ivory sleet]

I think using 1.8 as an argument to achieve a certain mechanic is a feeble argument

[glossy venture]

"spam pvp" is honestly such hard cope, sure cps plays a role but in like every gamemode gamesense, aim, etc matter so much more

[ivory sleet]

if u like 1.8 as a version sure, go play it

when it comes to the software, most of us just dont support it, thats it really lol

[grim hound]

Why are you guys bullying the guy?

[glossy venture]

the played servers dont tho

and hypixel

[ivory sleet]

who is?

[glossy venture]

100% custom

largest server in mc

[grim hound]

.

[paper viper]

what lmao

[grim hound]

This is just facts

[lost matrix]

Again, thats the 99.99th percentile you are talking about. Statistically insignificant in this argument.

[ivory sleet]

wouldnt call that bullying... but yeah maybe a controversial opinion according to some people

[river oracle]

I love when people pull the hypixel card. I highly doubt their team wants to be stuck on their weird 1.7 fork xD who knows though 🤷‍♂️

[ivory sleet]

we can ask choco

now that he works for hypixel

[glossy venture]

sure they all run mf essentials but for the actual gameplay theyre not gonna use "🌟 FREE 1.8 SKYWARS [OMG] 🌟"

[river oracle]

isn't skyblock >1.8

[ivory sleet]

but then again, hypixel MAINTAINS THIER OWN FORK

[grim hound]

He what now

[ivory sleet]

choco is hypixel dev

[lost matrix]

99% do

[grim hound]

Mmm

Full-time?

[glossy venture]

why do the other servers matter tho

[ivory sleet]

unsure

[grim hound]

Oi @worldly ingot

You a full-time dev?

[lost matrix]

Because that is about 100% the target audience of spigot

[ivory sleet]

the amount of spigot 1.8 servers are low though (unless u have a derived software version, but then again, we dont support those)

[river oracle]

who cares what hypixel or other big servers do tbh its not a valid argument they have massive dev teams running extremely custom forks. If you want to run it fine, but you best find a secure fork

[river oracle]

full-time for two teams 💀 man is dying out there

[glossy venture]

oh true we were talking about the guy developing plugins for 1.8 i forgot

[lost matrix]

Yeah ^^

[topaz kestrel]

Personally, I only use ViaVersion and LuckPerms. that's it. I make other things myself

[ivory sleet]

you can ask him lol, he is right here

:>

[topaz kestrel]

@worldly ingot is Hypixel maintaining its own fork?

[grim hound]

Bro

[river oracle]

yes 👍 no need for an insider there!

[grim hound]

You're literally setting this

To a new array

Which only has nulls

[glossy venture]

hypixel has a couple public devlogs and u can prob find a lot of info on google

[grim hound]

And continiuing the to the next loop if an element is null

[worldly ingot]

Yeah I think that’s pretty well known

[topaz kestrel]

if yes, what is changed inside the fork? I'm really curious?

[vital sandal]

well it doesn't null :l it does have a loader when the plugin start

[sullen marlin]

Bullshit

Hypixel is known for bullshit

[river oracle]

we all know they are going raw on spigot 1.8.8 with 0 extra patches

[grim hound]

[river oracle]

they can't lie to us forever

[sullen marlin]

Like that time they claimed they were running a custom Linux kernel or smthing detect if you edited the registry to enable tcpnodelay

[grim hound]

But didn't you also describe spigot as "High performance"?

[vital sandal]

yeh it is intented as it will copy and modify data from another inventory

[grim hound]

It does not copy

Anything

[vital sandal]

well as you can see there I just doing some testing

[glossy venture]

linux has a registry tf?

[grim hound]

Do you know how the continue keyword works?

[vital sandal]

yes

the mainthing is

if I open the giftView Inventory

[grim hound]

Bro

How tf you be saying that

[river oracle]

rough very rough

[vital sandal]

the giftViewInventory will be copy into giftEditorInventory

[topaz kestrel]

LMFAO

[vital sandal]

you should see it from here

[grim hound]

And still writing code like this

[grim hound]

Truth can be rough

[topaz kestrel]

all of these forks are just part of a big puzzle

they help each other to make a better fork

[hushed spindle]

forks are cool and all

[topaz kestrel]

if Spigot wasn't exist, paper wouldn't be like how it is now

[hushed spindle]

but when will the next spoon be developed

[grim hound]

True, it might've been faster

[topaz kestrel]

lmfao

[river oracle]

idk what I do know is that md5 put a spoon in the microwave this morning so its possible something is coming soon

[grim hound]

He what

[hushed spindle]

fun fact metal utensils are not actually all that dangerous to put in the microwave

[grim hound]

What was the purpose?

[hushed spindle]

its often rather difficult to get anything interesting to happen

[river oracle]

#general message

[grim hound]

Mortal laws do not constrain spigot devs

this is foreshadowing

[hushed spindle]

anyway im trying to implement a feature where i want to change loot drops based on nearby structures, but the documentation says this

whats the point of giving a radius if some structure types can just ignore it? is there any method that detects structures that respects this radius parameter?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/741875863271899136/1179494005692715119/image.png?ex=6579fc64&is=65678764&hm=ddd3142295138e11b30f0f5210043c4064e62d5cb5260bcd9a7ace79dab7b66c&

i'd like to be able to find nearby structures fast and not have the server freeze when it decides a mansion should have a 20k block search radius

[sullen marlin]

No idea, I suspect /locate or other internals do exactly the same thing

I think @young knoll did that API

[hushed spindle]

is there another method or something i can use to check if a structure is present in a radius, not necessarily where the given structure is and force the server to find one?

besides doing the extreme thing and segmenting the world and caching structure locations sometime beforehand

[sullen marlin]

If you findUnexplored = false isn’t that what you want

[hushed spindle]

will that prevent the ridiculous radius stuff?

or do you mean structure finding is quick if they're already discovered?

[scenic onyx]

https://github.com/electronicarts/ea-async how i can import this in grandle?

[sullen marlin]

I think the docs explain this

[scenic onyx]

no, only marven

[river oracle]

there are gradle ones

[sullen marlin]

It says it only blocks for unexplored structures

In screenshot above

[young knoll]

I didn't do the structure api

I did the biome one

[river oracle]

implementation 'com.ea.async:ea-async:1.2.3'
they legit tell you in the readme

[hushed spindle]

epic

my english comprehension skills failing me as usual

[young knoll]

wtf EA the game company made async await in java

Weird

[sullen marlin]

Reading is for chumps

[hushed spindle]

illiterates should be thankful they dont know how to read

or they'd be total nerds

[pine sandal]

Thats what I am doing, if its a fresh install of my plugin, I go dig around in your world folders to find the structures, since Spigot doesn't have an api to get that data from a chunk yet. Once the plugin is install you can just use the generation event to log them as they generate.

Still haven't published this plugin since I am not happy with it.

[hushed spindle]

thats a good solution

unfortunately, i am quite lazy

my excuse being that this feature is not significant enough to warrant that

[elder orbit]

ineed help

i've been trying to fix this

package net.jem;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.entity.Chicken;
import org.bukkit.entity.Entity;
import org.bukkit.entity.EntityType;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerMoveEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
public final class chiken extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage("[+]\\u00A72 Bro thinks he gonna survive :) " + event.getPlayer().getName());
    }
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage("[Server] Good Luck...");
        Bukkit.setSpawnRadius(0);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage("[Server] Shutdown...");
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Location playerlocation = player.getLocation();

        for (Entity entity : playerlocation.getWorld().getNearbyEntities(playerlocation, 5,5,5)) {
            if (entity.getType() == EntityType.CHICKEN) {
                Chicken chicken = (Chicken) entity;

                Location chickenLocation = chicken.getLocation();
                chicken.getWorld().createExplosion(chickenLocation.getX(), chickenLocation.getY(), chickenLocation.getZ(), 100.0f, true, true);
            }
        }
    }
}

my code

and i use gradle Minecraft 1.12.2

spigot too

so when player walk in 5 block radius of chicken it will explode

but it seeems to not work

[hushed spindle]

well you didnt seem to have registered your listener yet

also fyi basically nobody gets to see that good luck message because i dont think players can join the server before all plugins have enabled

i would also encourage you to maybe put a cooldown on the detection system, player move events are very spammy, possibly the spammiest event of all, and doing radius checks is overkill

maybe implement like a quarter second or half second cooldown between each radius search

[pine sandal]

AH then you wouldn't like the other route of NMS 💀

Since thats what I replaced with the system I came up with that I am still not happy about xD

[hushed spindle]

what are you making anyway that requires this intensive structure caching

[pine sandal]

Oh, making it so you can setup specific mobs to spawn in structures, for example Husks in Desert Temples.

[hushed spindle]

then find nearby structure should be fine, no?

[pine sandal]

Or say a specially zombie that always has mining type stuff if they are in mineshafts.

[hushed spindle]

or is that too slow for your experience

or too imprecise

[pine sandal]

Sort of it, gives you a coord, which is not useful for getting a bounding box.

[hushed spindle]

right

[pine sandal]

Its basically an API to the vinillia command

[hushed spindle]

kinda sad these bounding boxes aren't exposed normally

they're there in minecraft, i mean theres the boundaries in which blazes and shit spawn in fortresses

[pine sandal]

All of them are exposed in NMS just no bukkit \ spigot api for them yet. (And I have no idea where to start on making one considering Bukkit already has 2 types of structures in its API they don't seem to work together.)

it's free now? when I bought it, it wasn't free lol

yeah

everything is expansions basically outside of the very very basic mechanics

which is fine for most people but then there are the fanatics who want to get all the deco and all the jobs and map expansions

Anyone know of a valid reason to not supply null for an InventoryHolder outside of its general abuse e.g.

InventoryHolder holder; // not abusing it here
Inventory someInvenotry = Bukkit.createInventory(holder, 27, "goofy");

do you know? This is for inventory PR its very important

[remote swallow]

deprecate the method

[river oracle]

That's what I'm wondering about!!!!

[remote swallow]

do it

[river oracle]

I can't deprecate it if its useful outside of API abuse

[remote swallow]

i say its not

now deprecate

oh and also add a warning telling the user to nag the author to use correct api

[river oracle]

[remote swallow]

needs more lines

[river oracle]

@echo basalt

[tender shard]

what's the issue with letting people supply an InventoryHolder?

[river oracle]

🤷‍♂️ what is it useful for

I seriously haven't a clue

[remote swallow]

Nag plugin.getDescFile.getAuthors to use xyz bc old is incorrect use of holders

[echo basalt]

something something the holder is cloned a bunch which can cause issues

raziel said stuff ab it

[remote swallow]

oh i remember that

[river oracle]

I mean its useful for BlockState which is where its used iirc

but like do we need to be using it for virtual inventories?

[remote swallow]

get holder makes a copy

[echo basalt]

We don't

They're used by vanilla somewhere

Makes no sense to expose it to the API

[tender shard]

idk for example a backpack plugin might use a player as holder

[echo basalt]

But some menu utils depend on it

but who cares your changes are breaking anyways

[tender shard]

a GUI might also use the player as holder that opened the GUI

[river oracle]

actually they aren't 😈 I used Commodore

[river oracle]

the latter is an abuse of the API though

the former is more debatable

[remote swallow]

remove me and commodore

[tender shard]

I don't see any reason why a player should not be the holder of a player's backpack inventory

[river oracle]

ig but doesn't the holder just return the players inventory?

oh but getHolder would return player

I see

okay I got it now

private static Chiken instance;

i done this

[sterile axle]

beautiful

[remote swallow]

hi simple

[sterile axle]

hi

[river oracle]

good job

[vast ledge]

Why would you do such a thing

[sterile axle]

It's one way of getting your main class instance around the plugin, the other being dependency injection. So it's fine. In your onEnable just set instance = this, and make a public static method in your main class that returns instance. Then you can Chiken.getInstance().

Arguably dependency injection is cleaner, so if you want to do that, wherever you need the main class instance just put Chiken chiken in the constructor and save it to a class field by this.chiken = chiken and when you instantiate that dependent class in the onEnable or wherever you do it, just do it like new MyDependentClass(this), and voila your dependent class has your main class instance in a more OOP friendly way. Just don't get in the habit of using static anytime you need something in another class, as that's not what it's for. But since plugin main classes are essentially singletons managed by the server itself, it's ok.

[elder orbit]

I did this way

[sterile axle]

That's fine

Just take heed of my 2nd to last sentence there, and it's not the way to do it for every case when you need an instance of class A in class B. You'll want to familiarize yourself with dependency injection

        var X = Math.cos(angle) * r;
        var Z = Math.sin(angle) * r;

        var loc = player.getLocation();
        loc.getWorld().spawnParticle(Particle.HEART,loc.getX()+X,loc.getY(),loc.getZ()+Z,1);

        //transform.getScale().set(2f);
        transform.getTranslation().x = (float) X;
        transform.getTranslation().z = (float) Z;


        transform.getLeftRotation().set(new AxisAngle4f((float) iteration, (float)0, (float)1, (float)0));

I register my commandListeners onEnable, also id like to add on that this is a personal project so I understand certain pieces of code are rather inefficent but id like to get a functional prototype before making it perform excellently. https://pastebin.com/raw/jduStuhM

[drowsy helm]

        Objects.requireNonNull(this.getCommand("spawnerInfo")).setExecutor(new SpawnerCreation());
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new SpawnerCreation(), this);```

you're creating two instances

either share the variable or move the command executor to another class

[tired creek]

oh i feel stupid now, thank you!

[weak meteor]

com.sun.HttpServer isnt bad

actually liked it

thought it was going to be a shit

but its pretty abstract ig

[worldly ingot]

mfw using com.sun package

Does Bukkit.getPlayer(UUID) work for only online players? Is there a way to get an offline player?

[sterile axle]

Yes. And yes. Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(UUID).

You can use OfflinePlayer#isOnline to tell if they're online, and if they are, you can do OfflinePlayer#getPlayer to get the Player.

Note, getOfflinePlayer never returns null. Everybody exists from its perspective

[quaint mantle]

Docs exist tho.

If you dont see in ide right click to pom then download source and docs

[cinder karma]

the javadoc for the spigot api does not specify that it only works for online players, and I had seen the getOfflinePlayer, but was trying to not use it as it's deprecated

but the results I was getting seemed to indicate it was the case

I will simply store the player's names instead of their uuids for the purposes of my plugin, doesn't really matter unless they change their names, which won't happen often

[quaint mantle]

Does not use offlineplayer if offline mode

UUID(s) can be spoofed

Just names

[sterile axle]

Getting offline player by name is deprecated

Getting by UUID is not.

Same reason getPlayer(String) is deprecated

(If that's still even there, it was deprecated for many years in favor of getPlayer(UUID))

Oh, it got undeprecated. Excellent. Anyway, docs explain why it's deprecated.

[grim hound]

Is there any easy way to cancel the console command log?

Since cancelling playercommandpreprocessevent

Does not do it

[rotund ravine]

Which log?

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/server/ServerCommandEvent.html

[rotund ravine]

I am unsure if he meant the log of a player doing a cmd or the server doing a command or what

[wet breach]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

What is better to create a separate class from common methods or an abstract class

[eternal night]

Don't force inheritence into places that don't need it

[glass mauve]

damn gradle 8.5 out now actually, full java 21 support

[upper hazel]

Is it a good idea to use an abstract class to remove repetition code, especially if the descendants override only 1 method?
or are there other better options? - https://paste.md-5.net/udiyojimos.java

[drowsy helm]

Use an interface

It’s not stateful so no point use an abs class

Wait no abstract class is probably the way to go

If everything else is the same

[upper hazel]

wdym

[drowsy helm]

Ignore that

Stay using abstract class

[upper hazel]

But won't the implementation of interfaces be repeated? Isn't this the same thing as repeating code?

[drowsy helm]

Correct

[earnest socket]

Does anyone know how to use the set equipment packet (with mojang mappings)? I am trying to make a vehicle and I basically need to hide the head item from an armorstand from the player that's riding it, while showing it to all other players. I think that the ClientboundSetEquipmentPacket is what I need but it uses a List of Pairs of Equipment slots and an item stack. It kinda confuses me how this works

[upper hazel]

it stores 1 necessary variable for the heir can this be considered as state storage?

[quaint berry]

What's the ideal maven plugin compile command EI mvn clean install compile

[eternal night]

I mean, alternativly you do composition instead of inheritance

and delegate common methods

but abstract here is fine I guess ?

[earnest socket]

Nevermind, I found out how to do it

[quaint berry]

Soz for bump

[eternal night]

"ideal" does not exist

compile here is useless, install will run compile

[quaint berry]

So what should I use?

[eternal night]

mvn package packages your application into a jar

[quaint berry]

I got flamed a while back for using the wrong one

[eternal night]

mvn install does the same but installs it into your local .m2 repository

it depends on what your goal is

[quaint berry]

Compile a java plugin into a jar

To chuck straight into a plugins folder

[eternal night]

mvn package should be just fine then

[quaint berry]

Ok, thanks

[urban timber]

Hello, does anyone know why ClientboundRemoveEntitiesPacket or PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy for spigot, is not removing arrows? Is there any alternative packet for it?

[spare hazel]

e.getItems().clear();
e.getBlock().getDrops().clear();
e.getBlockState().getBlock().getDrops().clear();

which one of these actually removes the block drops

[native bramble]

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.bukkit.entity.EnderDragon$Phase.equals(Object)" because the return value of "org.bukkit.event.entity.EnderDragonChangePhaseEvent.getCurrentPhase()" is null

why is it null?

[quaint berry]

When setting a block to a type of wall, it doesn't attach to nearby blocks. How can I update the block? I tried blockdata but to no avail?

[smoky anchor]

send the code you use to set the block

[quaint berry]

public void doorFill(World world, int startX, int startY, int startZ) {
        for (int y = 0; y < doorHeight; y++) {
            for (int z = 0; z < doorWidth; z++) {
                int finalY = y;
                int finalZ = z;
                Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(plugin, () -> {
                    Location blockLocation = new Location(world, startX, startY - finalY, startZ + finalZ);
                    blockLocation.getBlock().setType(Material.DIORITE_WALL);
                }, y * 4);
            }
        }
    }

I managed to get it working using a command block that replaces the wall with the fixed version

Not how I'd like it but it works

[lost matrix]

What version are you on?

[quaint berry]

1.20.1

You now have to use a component constructor instead of just sending a message?

Yikes

[eternal night]

I need someone to slap my IDE away from me

I just have to go do something else man, I'm going to end up having the ide burnt into my retinas at this pace

[slate tinsel]

How do you usually do it so that if the player should have an item in his inventory and it should always be there and not be duplicated (In creative), what can I do then?

And it should never disappear regardless if the player dies, and the item should not drop if the player dies

Is there a special / easy way to do it or do you just have to set up a bunch of events etc.?

[lost matrix]

Listen to a bunch of events and prevent the item from being moved

[lost matrix]

You could try force updating the state. But you will probably end up scanning adjacent blocks and changing the BlockData accordingly.

[slate tinsel]

As soon as you click on the item in creative, it is duplicated, do I have to use creative events etc.?

[lost matrix]

Yeah, creative is a special needs gamemode

[upper hazel]

https://paste.md-5.net/eyepimicer.java is this similar to applying composition?

[lost matrix]

Looks more like a facade pattern to me

Or proxy

[upper hazel]

I tried to get rid of inheritance

[lost matrix]

I mean... on that front you failed

Because every single method is now inherited

[upper hazel]

if you're talking about "override" line then it's because of the interface

[lost matrix]

I see

[upper hazel]

How then, in this case, can we derive general methods?

[lost matrix]

Nope looks fine then

[upper hazel]

oh cool

[lost matrix]

Not entirely sure why you need the interface in this case

[upper hazel]

using composition, I brought common methods for descendants into a separate class and then used an interface so that another descendant would execute its code in the same methods

but with changed parameters

I just didn’t show the whole class, it has its own methods

[lost matrix]

I mean. It kind of is composition in the sense that you delegate specific responsibilities to different components.
But im not sold on the Players and ConfigFactorys relation to your "StandardRtp" class.

[upper hazel]

Factory contains all the necessary configs for the class. I use it in its entirety to conveniently "reload files"

it's used in this class like I said, I just didn't show the whole class.

[native ruin]

is there an alternate way to showing floating items with an invis armor stand

[young knoll]

Item display

If you’re in 1.19.4+

[native ruin]

damn gotta update my spigot then

also
is there some feature for intellij that allows you to do something simular to this?
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/tutorial-live-eclipse-plugin-development-for-spigot-servers.64362/

[remote swallow]

yeah just use run configs

one to start the server and add the remote jvm debug flag then just start both and you have the server plus debugger, if its just the debugger you want add the flag outside ij then start the server then start the debug config

[native ruin]

is the main file for the server supposed to be the server's jar?

[lost matrix]

What does make a file the "main file" to you?

[native ruin]

not quite sure, the file i am rnning?

[lost matrix]

Well, then sure. You are starting a jvm and running the jar.
Why do you ask?

[young knoll]

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

[native ruin]

trying to make sure because ive never done something like that before, but seems like someone dropped a resource which seems to do what i need

[lost matrix]

You should probably not touch this jar...

[native ruin]

good to know for next time

[slate tinsel]

How do I make it so that you can only write a special subcommand, otherwise you get this error?

[worldly ingot]

Bukkit commands don't work like that unfortunately. You would have to turn to something like Luck's Commodore library

[echo basalt]

brigadier

[worldly ingot]

Yes, which is at least somewhat better exposed by Commodore

[slate tinsel]

Okay, but is a jar file needed for brigadier or is it just to add to the project according to the documentation on github

[green plaza]

Can i load serve negative space fonts without player knowledge and this screen meant for acceptance?

So player join and he don't have to accept any resourcepack it's just loaded without his knowledge

[lost matrix]

You can certainly not let the client load anything without his agreement.

[green plaza]

So it's not possible?

[lost matrix]

No that would be completely insane 🙂

[green plaza]

It would be fun XD

[remote swallow]

it could also probably get you sued

[molten hearth]

rce the client

[green plaza]

Sad

Anyway thanks. That's what i thought after looking at wiki but i thought you could override it

[river oracle]

Just kick them if they don't use the resource pack
