i mean, there is no reason for mojang to include debug logging on a product release lol

#

they do have debug logging in the source, they just strip it from the log4j config

remote swallow
#

could be useful for us

remote swallow
slender elbow
remote swallow
#

well spigot or cb could re-add it or remove the deleting stuff with a patch

river oracle
#

Can you patch resource files?

#

Wonder how you'd even go about that

remote swallow
#

uhhhhhhhh

#

i have no idea

#

i mean technically we patch a pom so im guessing its a similar process

slender elbow
#

i mean you can provide your own log4j config file anywhere on the filesystem and override it with the log4j2.configurationFile system property

remote swallow
#

does spigots log4j2 config not override it

slender elbow
#

spigot has a separate log4j config from vanilla?

remote swallow
#

ye

#

or bukkit

#

idk which

young knoll
#

I thought we did at least

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

remote swallow
#

its cb

slender elbow
#

that's barely any different from the vanilla one tbh

#

but it is different i s'pose

remote swallow
#

so wouldnt it override vanillas and re-enable the levels

slender elbow
#

i don't run a server but i would not like to be spammed with potentially hundreds of meaningless debug messages on a production server tho

young knoll
#

I was thinking more for the plugin loggers

#

Being able to setLevel would be nice

remote swallow
#

^^

#

could probably add something in spigot config for levels

eternal oxide
#

used to be able to, before log4j

obsidian tiger
#

talking about logging, is there any way to have nicely formatted messages e.g. "test {} log message" where {} is replaced by the first arg and so on? I can only pass a string to most of the methods

slender elbow
#

the server ships slf4j api, although it's not exposed in bukkit you can include it in maven/gradle and just use it as usual

wtf is wrong with IJ

image.png
obsidian tiger
#

nothing is

tender shard
#

and if I click on "Wrap using Boolean.valueOf()" it comes up with this lmao

image.png
obsidian tiger
#

change it to boolean instead of Boolean

tender shard
#

No.

#

primitives are not nullable. And also you can set a Boolean object to a primitive boolean because of autoboxing

#

the code is valid

#

it's just IJ being stupid

obsidian tiger
#

I am aware but that wont change your IJ being stupid.

#

:)

tender shard
#

the weirdest thing is that it uses Foo.valueOf like wtf

obsidian tiger
#

have you tried just writing Boolean out yourself instead?

tender shard
#

I just use the code I sent, it compiles fine

obsidian tiger
#

as I said I am aware that it is valid code, but that wont stop your issue.

tender shard
#

Boolean.valueOf gives me "cannot access java.lang.Boolean"

chrome beacon
#

Just use Boolean.TRUE and Boolean.FALSE ?

#

You'll avoid the wrapping and valueOf

tender shard
#

as said, it cannot access java.lang.Boolean lol

chrome beacon
#

?

#

Invalidate caches

tender shard
#

yeah I'm already waiting for it to finish

shadow night
#

This is the first time I see somebody using Boolean instead of boolean

obsidian tiger
#

I am more questioning why you don't want a primitive

#

why would you want a nulled Boolean?

#

at that point just use an integer and bitwise.

tender shard

obsidian tiger
#

how do you even get to that stage of code if neither of those two were specified?
should just prevent that stage in the first place

#

anyways, your way of coding. I'll go back to my show on netflix.

TriState 👀

#

False, true, undefined

obsidian tiger
#

isn't there a default state that you keep track of?
if nothing is specified you just invert the default state in memory.

rotund ravine

without even jumping to the part that checks for on/off

tender shard

Default is not defined

Hey guys, for some reason, non-op players are able to use commands other than create. A month or two ago, only ops could do that. I'm using the latest version of paper and that's the only plugin I have in the server I'm testing. I also haven't really changed my plugin.yml of my mod, can you guys think of reasons why this is the case?

#

The command does not need to be on and off

tender shard
#

this is the new boolean to allow using "on" and "off" instead of just toggling

image.png
#

before that, the method just had Command, CommandSender as args

obsidian tiger
#

where do you call that method, I need to see some more

tender shard
obsidian tiger
#

a cleaner way to avoid a nulled Boolean would be using a byte if you care about extra allocation of 3 bytes compared to an int or not, or an enum which would be an extra class though and a bit overkill.

tender shard
#

not really

rotund ravine
#

A nulled boolean should be fine 🤷🏽‍♂️

obsidian tiger
#

of course its fine but theres a reason primitives exist

tender shard
#

a boolean represents two states, on or off, and the boolean not being there prepresents neither on nor off was chosen. I really don't see any reason why someone would be so obsessed with looking for problems with that

#

maybe I rename onOff to "chosenNewState" to make you happy

how can i learn making plugins

worthy yarrow
#

Hey there anyone here familiar with Squaremap api?

tribal valve
#

is there a way to get config locations and loop through them? this is kinda repetetive

image.png
vocal cloud
#

you can getKeys for a config section which allows you to easily loop through them and get them all

orchid brook
#

u can use ConfigurationSection maybe

ConfigurationSection section = this.config.getConfigurationSection("core.blocks");
Set<String> identifiers = section.getKeys(false);

        for(String identifier : identifiers ) {
}
tribal valve
tribal valve
tender shard
#

the strings will be the names of the sections, in this case "coal", "wood", "iron"

tribal valve
#

ohhh thanks

tender shard
#

to get the actual location you still have to throw in the result of getKeys(...) into a get method of the config

tribal valve
#

okay thanks

worthy yarrow
tame wolf
#

Have you tried asking the devs of said APIs?

worthy yarrow
tame wolf
worthy yarrow
# tame wolf This is still holding up

Well to be completely fair with you, I've had an interaction with them before and their support is utterly useless... they just kinda make fun of you for not understanding their api...

tame wolf
#

Time to switch then, if the devs are evil you really need to switch

#

Because of they won't provide support for the API they develop I doubt you will find much anywhere else

worthy yarrow
#

Yeah that's a good point, dynmap was an option until the guy I'm helping out decided to just go squaremap.... so that also doesn't help

tame wolf
#

You could try explaining to him the cons of going with squaremap

worthy yarrow
#

I have, I believe it's just the fact that squaremap is already setup

#

I could always see if they would actually be willing to help me as this is somewhat of an addon I suppose... it's got api usage from towny / siegewar / and squaremap so perhaps that might entice them to actually provide support lol

how can i learn make plugins?

shadow night
#
  1. Learn java
clear elm
#

this is normal java

#

i wanna learn how to make plugins with spigotapi

shadow night
#

It's one google search away

clear elm
#

there only curses for 90$

shadow night
tender shard
clear elm
#

what are easy plugin ideas

shadow night
#

Custom join and leave messages

#

The most basic

tender shard
#

stuff from essentials

worthy yarrow
#

Custom commands

tender shard
#

join/leave messages, tp, tpa

worthy yarrow
#

I'd suggest trying to make functional plugins... meaning something with multiple layers perhaps... tpa system would be good for sure

clear elm
#

idk how to make a tpa system no idea

tender shard
#

then start with sth simpler?

worthy yarrow
#

Just think about it logically... what needs to happen in order for teleport / accept system to work? Firstly you need the command to request the teleport, then you need to response method in order to "accept / deny" that request... and so on

clear elm
#

hmm i can try ig

#

but i dont think i can make this

worthy yarrow
#

It's not as bad as you think

tender shard
worthy yarrow
#

I think I made my first tpa system with like under 100 lines so it's not super complex

clear elm
#

can i make it all in 1 class

tender shard
#

if you want

worthy yarrow
#

Yes but it's recommended to setup a class per function as it were

clear elm
#

you mean an class for tpa an class for tpa deny ...

tender shard
#

no, a class for a commandexecutor

worthy yarrow
#

No, that can all be handled in a single class

tender shard
#

a class for the "main plugin"

#

etc

clear elm
#

can i make an main class and one commadn class

tender shard
#

i don't know if you can

#

have you tried?

clear elm
#

idk if it can work

shadow night
#

programming is about trying

clear elm
#

okay lets go xD

worthy yarrow
#

Function meaning a mechanic I suppose, just write out everything related to the "tpa function" in the tpa class right? if you were to add maybe like an admin usage of the tp command to check permissions and force teleportations instead of a request, you'd probably write that one out in a seperate class than the tpa

#

@tender shard are you familiar with towny / siegeware api?

#

Sorry for the ping btw I know a lot of people hate it, just trying to get some quick support

worthy yarrow
#

If so, I've been made aware that nothing happens when the player joins / leaves a town. The function is supposed to trigger on townjoin / townleave, if the player is on cooldown they are disallowed to do so and both the inviter / player are sent a message notifying them of the cooldown, otherwise they are allowed and put on cooldown.

📎 normalmantownyaddon.java

clear elm
#

how can i make if its an online player here? : if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase())

worthy yarrow
#

I'm not sure if my timer system is just busted, or if I'm just not using to correct events? I have no experience with towny / siegewar api other than trying to read through their documentation for about an hour

worthy yarrow
#

Or perhaps just a null check tbf

#

if bukkit.getplayer(args[1]) != null would work i think

clear elm
#

do you think its smart to ask chatgpt for an tpa system code and look how it works?

worthy yarrow
#

Chatgpt can write you anything to be fair, although for learning purposes it'd be best to try and write out the functions yourself

#

Chatgpt is also very error prone as it doesn't have real time access to api's meaning it can be incorrect about a lot of methods

clear elm
#

but idk how to make tpa

#

it gave me this code : ```java
package com.example.teleportation.commands;

import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

public class TpaCommand implements CommandExecutor {

@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
    if (!(sender instanceof Player)) {
        sender.sendMessage("Dieser Befehl kann nur von Spielern verwendet werden.");
        return true;
    }

    Player player = (Player) sender;

    if (args.length == 0) {
        player.sendMessage("Benutzung: /tpa <accept|deny|player>");
        return true;
    }

    if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("accept")) {
        // Implementiere die Annahme eines TPA-Antrags
        player.sendMessage("Du hast den TPA-Antrag angenommen.");
    } else if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("deny")) {
        // Implementiere die Ablehnung eines TPA-Antrags
        player.sendMessage("Du hast den TPA-Antrag abgelehnt.");
    } else {
        // Implementiere das Senden eines TPA-Antrags an einen anderen Spieler
        String targetPlayerName = args[0]; // Annahme: Der Name des Ziel-Spielers ist das erste Argument
        Player targetPlayer = player.getServer().getPlayer(targetPlayerName);

        if (targetPlayer == null) {
            player.sendMessage("Spieler nicht online oder nicht gefunden.");
            return true;
        }

        // Implementiere die Logik für das Senden eines TPA-Antrags an den Ziel-Spieler
        // Beispiel: targetPlayer.sendMessage(player.getName() + " möchte zu dir teleportieren. /tpa accept oder /tpa deny");
        targetPlayer.sendMessage(player.getName() + " möchte zu dir teleportieren. /tpa accept oder /tpa deny");
        player.sendMessage("TPA-Antrag an " + targetPlayer.getName() + " gesendet.");
    }

    return true;
}

}

worthy yarrow
#

It's very good to use when you have some experience with spigot api... athough it can still be used to write "skeleton" type kind of syntax as to allow for the filling of code to still allow you to learn

#

Ehm

#

Yeah it looks correct to me

clear elm
#

okay i try to understand how the code works

worthy yarrow
#

Might want to add a permissions check however

#

if (player.haspermission("permission node of your choice")){
}

#

This will make sure only people who should be able to tp are allowed to send requests

clear elm
#

i wanna undersatnd first how this system even works to make it a bit different by myself

worthy yarrow
#

So essentially this is a very basic, command + argument system. When it comes down to it, if args length = 0, it send the command usage message to the player. if args[0] = accept, it sends the player the "du hast den tpa-antrag abgelehnt" message, otherwise if args[0] = deny, it send the deny message, else it gets the player name from args[0] and turns the string into a usable player variable in order to then send them a couple more messages.

clear elm
#

i dont understand this part :

            Player targetPlayer = player.getServer().getPlayer(targetPlayerName);

            if (targetPlayer == null) {
                player.sendMessage("Spieler nicht online oder nicht gefunden.");
                return true;```
worthy yarrow
#

Currently, there is no actual teleporting functionality and this will only send players messages

clear elm
#

Hey just wanted to ask what the "proper way" now is to create heads with base64 values thats my old code: https://paste.md-5.net/equjupugim.cs, but now in the console it says its wrong

slim gate
#

what should I do so I can have a common module, and then have some type of Player type there inside an interface and use it for paper module and spigot module (and maybe if possible bungeecord in the future)

echo basalt
#

You need to make your own player wrapper class

#

and an adapter for each platform

slim gate
#

sounds something that takes time

#

just if there was a lib for this or a gist

Question, what is the best way to store a mapping of strings to integers in Java/Spigot?

I want to give each player their own map of resources, and then store that map, my structure would look roughly like this:

{
  SOME_UUID = {
      wood = 0
      stone = 5
      iron = 10
  }
}

JSON/GSON maybe?

# peak depot ?whereami

I'm using the spigot API to develop the plugin, I also tried it on spigot, I still have the same error

slender elbow
# sharp heart

you shouldn't call teleport in the consumer action, the entity does not exist in the world (and, besides, you are already spawning it there)
but as for your actual question, you want to change the background colour with setBackgroundColor

worldly ingot
#

^ the background color allows you to specify an alpha value. setDefaultBackground(false) does nothing because that's the default value

#

Give it an alpha of 0

slender elbow
#

you can try

#

it'll throw an exception iirc

clear elm
#

is there a way to make a plugin for all verions

remote swallow
#

if it doesnt use nms use the lowest api verison you want to support

slender elbow
#

all versions?

#

that's a lot

clear elm
#

or how can i change version in intelyIDE

#

my plugin is currently for 1.20.1 i want it for other verions too

remote swallow
#

lower the spigot-api dep version in pom.xml and change api-version in plugin.yml

slender elbow
clear elm
remote swallow
#

whats the lowest version you want to support

tender shard
#

no

clear elm
#

i want hiher versions

remote swallow
#

so you want 1.20.1 and up?

clear elm
#

yea

remote swallow
#

leave it as is then

clear elm
#

and in pom.xml?

remote swallow
#

leave as is too

clear elm
#

<version>1.20.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

remote swallow
#

yup

clear elm
#

there stands 1.20.1

remote swallow
#

yes

clear elm
#

okay ty

tender shard
#

you can only do that if you're cheating

image.png
clear elm
#

so it will wortk for 1.20.4 too?

tender shard
clear elm
#

and how can i change name casue my plugin names SUPERRTP-1.0-SNAPCHOT.jar

#

i only want SuperRTP.jar is this possible?

tender shard
# 
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.3.0</version>
  <configuration>
    <finalName>SuperRTP</finalName>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Add this to your pom.xml inside <build><plugins>

clear elm
#

just add at the bottom?

tender shard
#

anywhere inside your <build><plugins> section, doesn't matter where exactly

remote swallow
#

as long as its not inside another plugin section

clear elm
#

okay ty

clear elm
remote swallow
#

what dont you get out of copy that

tender shard
#

isn't it kinda obvious if you look at the screenshot?

remote swallow
#

and paste it inside <build> <plugins>

prob now wait

#

Hey everyone, i am a bit confused why my PlayerJoinEvent never runs?

i never see "SOMEONE JOINED " in my console

remote swallow
#

do you register it

dawn plover
#

yup

remote swallow
#

does it implement Listener

dawn plover
#

in the same file there is the onPlayerLeave event, which does work

wait hu?, i am so stupid

#

ignore me

tender shard
#

what was the issue lol

dawn plover
#

XD

remote swallow
#

kek

dawn plover
#

but the thing is, i thought i registerd because the "player left: ${name}" logger was super close to an other message that got logged, so i thougth the above playerLeave event worked

#

but still tankyou haha, cus it saved a lot of time and headacke when you said that :P

which code looks easier to read / understand?

val maxAllowed = player.getPermissionNumberValue(module.permissionSetHomeMultiple.name) ?: 2
val allowUnlimited = player.hasPermission(module.permissionSetHomeUnlimited)

    true // Player may set unlimited homes
} else {
    if (homeList.homes.size < maxAllowed) {
        true // Player may set more homes
    } else {
        if (homeList.homes.size == maxAllowed && homeList.getHome(homeName) != null) {
            true // Player already set his max amount of homes, but this home will replace an existing one
        } else {

        }
    }
}

if (!isOkay) {
    module.msgHomeLimitReached.tagUnparsed("limit", maxAllowed.toString()).sendToSender(player)
    return true
}

or this

val maxAllowed = player.getPermissionNumberValue(module.permissionSetHomeMultiple.name) ?: 2
val allowUnlimited = player.hasPermission(module.permissionSetHomeUnlimited)

val isOkay = allowUnlimited || // Player may set unlimited homes
        homeList.homes.size < maxAllowed || // Player may set more homes
        (homeList.homes.size == maxAllowed && homeList.getHome(homeName) != null) // Player already set his max amount of homes, but this home will replace an existing one

if (!isOkay) {
    // Send message if the player cannot set/replace a home

if I "simplify" that, how am I supposed to add the "buy a rank" comment :p

tardy delta
#

thats like doing if x return true else return false

tender shard
#

yeah but imho it's easier to understand

tardy delta
#

i think its clear enough without comments

tender shard
#

if limit is reached but one home gets replaced:
-> its okay
otherwise
-> nah

#

i really don't like to omit the last thing and replace it with just returning the thing I'd test for

flint coyote
# 
val isOkay = when {
    allowUnlimited -> true // Player may set unlimited homes
    homeList.homes.size < maxAllowed -> true // Player may set more homes
    homeList.homes.size == maxAllowed && homeList.getHome(homeName) != null -> true // Player already set max homes, replacing existing one
    else -> false // Buy a rank, ffs
}

Doesn't that work?

tender shard
#

oh yeah I like that

thanks

# tender shard do you have any specific question? the api basics seem quite straightforward

Yes I've got a project I'm working on, I'm a bit slow right now since I had a head injury last week and am on a lot of meds so the logic is just a bit slowed currently haha. This is the original version although I've made some updates that well... haven't worked so far. The point of this project is so that when a siege started against a town, a flame icon is created on squaremap at the spawn location of the town, on siege end the icon gets removed from squaremap... pretty simple although like I said, I'm having a pretty rough time understanding the api usage

That's what I told you months ago - without the gradle part lol. Glad you listened though

tender shard
# worthy yarrow Yes I've got a project I'm working on, I'm a bit slow right now since I had a he...

ok I haven't looked at your code, I'll just explain what my general idea would be:

  1. You create one MapWorld for each loaded world and keep that in a Map<UUID, MapWorld> (where UUID is the world UUID - do not store the world itself). Check WorldLoad and WorldUnloadEvent
  2. You create a SimpleLayerProvider for each of those worlds and add them to each MapWorld. You can use the same key everytime, e.g. "sieges".
  3. Whenever a siege starts, get the respective MapWorld and add the marker. You later need the key again to remove it, so you gotta use a key for the marker that you can later recreate, e.g. the center location of the siege in x_y_z format or sth like that
#

actually you don't even need to store the MapWorld, you can just store your SImpleLayerProvider

worthy yarrow
#

There's only one world I'm dealing with, does that simplify at all?

tender shard
#

in that case, you can simply keep your SimpleLayerProvider in a field

worthy yarrow
#

ok let me have a look

tender shard
#

I see you're creating an icon, you will only have to register it once and then you can use it again each time you create a marker

worthy yarrow
#

Well I also have split the events to different classes now as well

#

Would it be bad to use a static method to get the icon?

tender shard
#

you will always ever only have one flame icon so that's fine

fluid cypress
tender shard
#

it's not "name:..." but sth similar

fluid cypress
#

tho i guess i could look at spigot source? unless its done by minecraft itself

worthy yarrow
#

Alright so heres the plan I think... on enable call the icon creation method just to get it registered and available to use when my other events are called. eg: siege start / siege end, get the icon and put it on squaremap at the spawn location of sieged town, when the siege ends simply remove the icon from the map.

    public static UUID createOfflinePlayerUUID(String s) {
        return UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes(("OfflinePlayer:" + s).getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
    }

@fluid cypress

#

that's what spigot uses

#

s is the plain player name

fluid cypress
#

ok then i guess i have a problem in the js code

#

ill try that in java first

tender shard
#

how so? did you already change it to "OfflinePlayer:..."?

fluid cypress
#

yea

worthy yarrow
fluid cypress
#

but its generating weird stuff depending on the string length

#

for example i dont think this is a uuid: 6d6973646f63756d656e6f

tender shard
worthy yarrow
#

Alright let me see what I can come up with real quick

tender shard
worthy yarrow
#

Alright if I can ping you with the results?

tender shard
#

sure

obsidian tiger
#

I love github.

tender shard
#

@fluid cypress Here I just threw this together, works fine if you got the crypto thingy

const crypto = require('crypto');

function createOfflinePlayerUUID(name) {
    const namespace = 'OfflinePlayer:';
    const input = namespace + name;
    
    const hash = crypto.createHash('md5').update(input, 'utf8').digest('hex');

    return [
        hash.substring(0, 8),
        hash.substring(8, 12),
        '3' + hash.substring(13, 16),
        hash.substring(16, 20),
        hash.substring(20, 32)
    ].join('-');
}

console.log(createOfflinePlayerUUID('mfnalex'));
fluid cypress
#

this is what i did

const encoder = new TextEncoder()
const array = encoder.encode('OfflinePlayer:misdocumeno')
const uuid = new Uuid().fromBytes([...array])
console.log(`uuid for misdocumeno is: ${uuid.toString()}`)
#

using OfflinePlayer i get 4f66666c-696e-6550-6c61-7965723a6d6973646f63756d656e6f, using name i get 6e616d65-3a6d-6973-646f-63756d656e6f, which is significantly shorter, and the actual uuid on the spigot sv is f62a41ae-4198-391b-ad68-6dbbc530da23

fluid cypress
fluid cypress
tender shard
#

yeah idk how UUIDs in javascript work, it's easiest to simply md5 the string and use that directly lol

fluid cypress
#

mmm, so uuids are just a md5 hash after all?

tender shard
#

well, no

fluid cypress
#

or the version that minecraft uses maybe, bc there are a few versions afaik

tender shard
#

a UUID is simply a unique identifier, usually generated randomly - however for offline players, yes it creates it from the md5 string of the input

#

here's openjdk code for nameUUIDFromBytes

fluid cypress
#

so there is no standar algorithm or something for creating a uuid based on something?

tender shard
#

type 3 is what minecraft / nameUUIDFromBytes uses

#

so yes, there is a standard algorithm for that

fluid cypress
#

mmm i see

#

Hey, is there any possibility to set the title of the player Inventory? so this has a other title when the inventory opens

Mojang should send a packet for that plz

I thought it was only client side when in creative

tender shard

well you can detect when they're clicking in their inventory, but you can't detect whether it's open or not

flint coyote
#

Isn't there the InventoryOpenEvent? Or is that for chests etc. only?

tender shard
#

doesnt work for player inventory

#

it'S client sided

flint coyote
#

true. Just tested that. They should really add that to the javadoc though

devout kite
tender shard
#

it used to be possible to detect players opening their own inventories through advancements, but that was removed in 1.14 or so I think

tender shard
#

but you can't change it on the fly or anything

devout kite
river oracle
#

under the hood this sends an open container request to the player with the same ID and will trick the client into using your new title

tender shard
#

but for the player's own inventory? which the client doesn't even tell the server about when it's being opened?

river oracle
#

the best method there would be to use a scheduler tbh

given you want to do it on the fly

otherwise editing the lang file seems good enough

#

does LivingEntity#addPotionEffect() forcefully add the effect? like do i need to check if the entity has a preexisting effect to not force it

#

the method has a force overload but that one is deprecated

worthy yarrow
#

I mean I'd assume if an entity already has the effect you're trying to add, you wouldn't need to add it correct?

#

You could also inverse the check to simplify

hushed spindle
#

i mean i would also like the effect to not apply if the entity happens to have the same effect with stronger amplifier

flint coyote
#

I think if the time is lower and the level is the same it refreshes the time.
If the level is higher it overrides the lower, ignoring the time left

#

this is what I think I remember - don't take it for granted.

hushed spindle
#

i guess ill find out

#

thanks

worthy yarrow
#

Yeah if that's true just make an inverse check ie: if !entity.haspotioneffect

So I'm trying to push a player downwards, but if they jump, and run the command right after, they will be pushed upwards. I have no idea how to fix it, could anyone help?

        ...
        if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("down")) {
            double speed = 2;
            pushEntity(player, speed);
            return;
        }
    }

    private void pushEntity(Entity entity, double speed) {
        Vector currentVelocity = entity.getVelocity();
        currentVelocity.setY(-speed);
        entity.setVelocity(currentVelocity);
    }
hushed spindle
#

the deprecation reason is that entities can have multiple of the same potion effect type, but im pretty sure thats not true?

worthy yarrow
flint coyote
#

it isn't but I think it's the override change that was introduced at some point

#

Using the /effect command approves what I said. Higher levels override lower levels (ignoring time) and same levels refresh the time if higher

#

otherwise you get an error. Spigot probably behaves the same

#

(without an exception)

Is there in any way to clear entity's pathfinder with spigot api? Right now I do LivingEntity#setAI, but this option removes the gravity and colission of the entity too and I don't want that.

worthy yarrow
# summer scroll Is there in any way to clear entity's pathfinder with spigot api? Right now I do...

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, the Spigot API itself does not provide a direct method to clear an entity's pathfinder while preserving gravity and collision. The setAI method you mentioned is a general-purpose method to enable or disable the entire artificial intelligence (AI) of an entity, and it may affect various behaviors including movement, gravity, and collision.

However, you might consider using more specific methods or workarounds to achieve your goal. Here are a couple of suggestions:

Custom Pathfinder Goals: Instead of disabling the entire AI, you could look into creating custom pathfinder goals using the Pathfinder API. This way, you have more control over the specific behaviors of the entity. You can add and remove goals as needed.

EntityCreature entityCreature = ((CraftCreature) livingEntity).getHandle();
entityCreature.goalSelector.clear(); // Clear existing goals
entityCreature.targetSelector.clear(); // Clear existing targets

// Add your custom pathfinder goals
entityCreature.goalSelector.a(1, new PathfinderGoalYourCustomGoal(entityCreature));

Note: This involves using NMS (net.minecraft.server) classes, and it's generally not recommended as it may lead to compatibility issues between different Minecraft versions.

Packet Modification: You might explore packet modification to achieve more granular control over entity behavior. This approach involves manipulating packets to modify specific aspects of the entity's behavior. It's important to note that this approach is more advanced and might not be suitable for all scenarios.

Keep in mind that the Spigot API is regularly updated, and there might be new features or changes after my last update. Always refer to the latest Spigot API documentation or community resources for the most up-to-date information. Additionally, be cautious when using NMS-related code, as it can lead to compatibility issues and is not officially supported.

I know, currently I wasn't sure how to add the marker to squaremap

#

@EventHandler
public void onSiegeStart(SiegeWarStartEvent event) {
Siege siege = event.getSiege();
Town siegedTown = siege.getTown();

    if (siegedTown != null) {
        Key key = Key.of("my_unique_marker_key");

        Location spawnPoint = siegedTown.getSpawnOrNull();

        if (spawnPoint != null) {
            Point point = convertLocationToPoint(spawnPoint);
            Icon marker = Marker.icon(point, key, 3);

            epirateSiegewarAddon.provider().addMarker(key, marker);
        }
    }
}
#

Thats one of the events where I should be getting the icon for use

echo basalt
#

Ugh

#

YOu're returning a new layer provider every time you call .provider()

worthy yarrow
#

Oh haha

echo basalt
#

Basically you want to init the layer provider once and pass it around with DI

orchid gazelle
#

How do you guys like to handle databases? Load data on start? Load playerdata in cache when player joins? Real-time?

echo basalt
#

Add the marker to your layer provider

echo basalt
#

Load data on join = good under certain cases but can cause desync

worthy yarrow
#

That was the goal with the initialization being in main class, I didn't realize I was doing that haha

echo basalt
#

real-time = highly complex and latency prone

orchid gazelle
#

Okay, so what would you do? Depending on the data

echo basalt
#

I usually just load it all on player join

#

like whatever i need

#

For example this tycoon minigame's a bit more complex

#

When a player joins I fetch their island id from the database

#

I then fetch the server that has it on redis

#

If that server exists, and is not the current server, I don't load the rest of the island

orchid gazelle
#

Do I load playerdata on join and if the data isn't there yet let the player wait and freeze them?

echo basalt
#

And when the join event fires you take it from the cache and put it in your map

#

That means the player's the one waiting longer

#

but it's fool proof

orchid gazelle
#

Well but what if some stuff needs longer in general?

#

Hard preparations?

#

Strong server lag?

echo basalt
#

Basically you load the data you need ASAP on login and the data you need later on join?

echo basalt
#

The login event is still called async

orchid gazelle
#

Hmm ok

echo basalt
#

Like there are multiple valid solutions, each one with its own compromise

orchid gazelle
#

And if the server needs to do some heavy task at boot that is multithreaded tho, may I freeze the whole server or start it and like deny any connections or ticks until it's done

echo basalt
#

uH that depends

#

But joining threads on enable is something that certain people see as acceptable

orchid gazelle
#

For example "I gotta render this special map and gotta pull 1GB from my db/IO"

echo basalt
#

disappointment I need context

orchid gazelle
#

I don't have context

#

Those are hypotetical questions

echo basalt
#

sigh it depends

#

Why would you be pulling 1gb

orchid gazelle
#

So I know how I can handle different tasks when writing big plugins or systems

echo basalt
#

Always try to attach your data's lifecycle to some other lifecycle

#

We can start with that

orchid gazelle
#

Hmm ok

echo basalt
#

So player data is only kept in memory for as long as the player is connected

orchid gazelle
#

Thanks for the answers btw.

echo basalt
#

If you need a minigame world from a template

#

You fetch the template and create the world when it's needed

#

If that's too much IO or the latency is too high you can consider caching the template

#

When the minigame is over, its world is too

orchid gazelle
#

Ahh yes, another problem, save data real-time, sync memory with db scheduledly or on playerquit?

echo basalt
#

on a timer + when the lifecycle ends

#

Is ideal

#

Real time depends

#

Basically real time = more IO & CPU but better resilliency

orchid gazelle
#

So like, I change my data in memory and schedule a task syncing the data to the db every now and then?

echo basalt
#

Sumn like that

orchid gazelle
#

I can do that async then

echo basalt
#

Yep

#

Saving real time is good if the server crashes

orchid gazelle
#

Yeah sure

echo basalt
#

Or if you don't plan on doing things often

#

Like uh

#

Think of luckperms permissions or user data

orchid gazelle
#

Well, maybe if it is an important query schedule to save instantly on next tick

echo basalt
#

That doesn't need a timer because it's low volume

#

No one cares about server ticks in an async context

#

But yeah important data is better real time

#

High volume is better in batches

#

Make sure to always save when the player quits though

orchid gazelle
#

Yeah

echo basalt
#

And make sure the data is saved before trying to read it

orchid gazelle
#

Alright

fair plover
#

hi

orchid gazelle
echo basalt
#

In concurrent environments, like in super sharded instances it's nice to keep things synchronized

#

Even if it means sending an update request to the server that's "owning" that data to tell what data to modify

#

You either do that or keep all the data in a central cache like redis

#

But that comes with higher latency

orchid gazelle
#

Yeah ofc, stuff needs to get handled differently with a sharded setup or multi-server

echo basalt
#

yuh

Do you want to know how it works in the background or how to use it?

echo basalt

flint coyote

I mean you just have to fill the parameters opf the function.

  1. Class<? extends Event> event, can be any event you'd usually use in a listener
  2. Listener listener is a class extending listener
  3. Priority is some priority
  4. Event executor is a class implementing EventExecutor
  5. Plugin is your plugin instance

flint coyote

It's an Event with subclasses, you can listen to the subclasses

young knoll
#

It’s a parent event for the empty and fill event

flint coyote
#

I ran into this, too

young knoll
#

Any that don’t have handler lists

flint coyote
#

You can however treat them both as a BucketEvents obviously. Therefore you could register BucketEmpty and BucketFill Event and then delegate them to the same handler for BucketEvent if you like to

something seems to not be right, i thought the uuid was correct, but actually its not. my uuid in the server is f62a41ae-4198-391b-ad68-6dbbc530da23, but that function returns f62a41ae-4198-391b-6d68-6dbbc530da23, which is the same, except the first character of the fourth piece, the ad68 part, the js function returns 6d68 instead.
ive been trying a few names, and they seem to be correct, except a few, another one i found that has a different character is duketo, ingame is 9c077d67-1ddc-3fcc-b295-d148b4d6cb4f, but the function returns 9c077d67-1ddc-3fcc-3295-d148b4d6cb4f. again the difference is in the first char of the fourth piece.

Anybody experienced with PAPI can answer this?
I just updated my papi extension (had to remake it cause i lost project files) but I basically just updated the onRequest function and thats it. Supposedly the end user is testing and only the old placeholder is working and the new one just displays the %% text he typed for the placeholder. Is there anything else needed for the new placeholder other than the onrequest function or is the user just not updating correctly?

Fun fact: List.of, Arrays.asList and List.copyOf are your most common sources of immutable lists

echo basalt
#

Any exposed collections should be mutable

#

.

#

It prevents all kinds of funky issues

#

For example

young knoll
#

But what’s the overhead of Collections.unmodifiableX!!!111

echo basalt
# 
public class MyManager {

  private final Map<UUID, MyData> registry = new HashMap<>();

  public MyData getData(UUID id) {
    Preconditions.checkNotNull(id);
    return registry.get(id);
  }

  public void insertData(UUID id, MyData data) {
    Preconditions.checkNotNull(id);
    Preconditions.checkNotNull(data);

    data.setDirty(true); // Some random method
    registry.put(id, data);
  }

  public Map<UUID, MyData> getRegistry() {
    return this.registry;
  }
}
#

Here's a non-compliant class

#

The problem arises if I do something like

#

myManager.getRegistry().put(myId, myData);

#

It modifies the registry collection while bypassing the insertData method entirely

#

Which not only hides code flow, it also bypasses all kinds of side effects the method might have

#

Which in this case is the setDirty(true) call

#

Basically you're allowing for 2 slightly different ways of doing the same thing

#

Except one's fully accounted for and the other one is not

#

How do we fix this? When exposing our collection (if absolutely necessary, it's not always needed to do so), we return a read-only copy

# 
public Map<UUID, MyData> getRegistry() {
  return Map.copyOf(this.registry);
}

instead of

Its actually quite important because field are initialized before explicit constructor if you just init them on their declaration.

If the map isnt needed right away or it isnt going to persist it may be wise. However if it will persist it is generally better to initialize the the variables you need as early as you can

You are using DI which is nice. Some of the access modifiers of your methods could use some refinement (most of them can be made private).
The cooldowns map should reside in a manager class. "CooldownManager" or something similar.
The general logic and application are ok.

How I snatch a specific structure from this. Preferably one that a player is standing in. I cant find out how to grab a specific structure from a map

opaque scarab
wintry lynx
#

hence the map

#

but the map has every structure in the chunk

#

So it might get the start of the mineshaft underneath and so on

young knoll
#

I believe there is a method to get the starts for a specific structure

wintry lynx
#

Like I can check if one is there with paper but I cant get a refrence to it

young knoll
#

After that, get the individual pieces and grab the first one, which should be the origin

#

Uhh I think the structures exist as constants in some class

#

Might be in Structure

#

Well, the vanilla ones

#

If you want a custom one you’ll need to get it from the registry

opaque scarab
young knoll
#

Loop over the map and check if the structures bounding box contains the players location

wintry lynx
young knoll
#

Yeah you gotta grab all the ones of that type in the chunk and then check via looping

Actually wait, it’s a map so you can just do map.get with your structure to get the start

No need to loop

I also cant find out how to remap after build since all the things ive seen use maven and I use gradle.

#

What in tarnations is a TagKey

young knoll
#

It’s for tags

wintry lynx

Structure struct = (Structure) world.getMinecraftWorld().findNearestMapStructure(TagKey<Registry.STRUCTURE.get(NamespacedKey.fromString("revamp:desert_pyramid"))>, new BlockPos(loc.getBlockX(), loc.getBlockY(), loc.getBlockZ()), 100, false);

young knoll
#

It needs a tag key?

#

Pretty sure it can just take a structure

#

Iirc it’s world.getServer().registryAccess().getRegistryOrThrow(Registries.STRUCTURE).get

#

Or something along those lines

wintry lynx
#

This is far too difficult for a "locateStructure"

young knoll
#

Im sure there’s on that doesn’t take a tag key

Maybe
