[ornate heart]

oui oui

[paper rain]

oh okay

        for (String key : plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("mineblocks").getKeys(false)) {
            Location location1 = plugin.getConfig().getLocation("mineblocks." + key + ".location");
            if (location.getWorld().getName().equals(location1.getWorld().getName()) && location.getBlockY() == location1.getBlockY() && location.getBlockX() == location1.getBlockX() && location.getBlockZ() == location1.getBlockZ()){

                return true;

            }
        }

        return false;
    }```SOOO this should work?

[ivory sleet]

try it

[paper rain]

ye

[hollow beacon]

ok 11 libraries in and it seems to have worked

[paper rain]

😭 it still doesnt work

[ivory sleet]

you sure you stored it correctly in the first place?

[proud badge]

If youre accessing this often its best to load to ram instead of reading config every time

[ivory sleet]

its already loaded into ram

[paper rain]

but it should work

[paper rain]

yep

plugin.getConfig().set("mineblocks." + args[1] + ".location", p.getLocation());

[proud badge]

plugin.getConfig() is loaded into ram?

[ivory sleet]

yes

[proud badge]

Ok I didnt know

[ivory sleet]

but I get what u mean

[proud badge]

I thought plugin.getConfig reads the file

[ivory sleet]

yeah, I mean it might be worthwhile storing the locations in a more sophisticated data structure ^^

[ivory sleet]

its just a normal YamlConfiguration instance I believe

[paper rain]

i dont know what im doing bad. im just setting and getting the location 😭

I dont know what could go wrong there

[ivory sleet]

args[1]?

[paper rain]

/mineblock add <name>

[ivory sleet]

yk player names are case sensitive

or whatever else u use

[paper rain]

no player name

its just string name of this mineblock

[ivory sleet]

ye well, in this case ur mineblock names

[paper rain]

yes

is it bad?

[ivory sleet]

ugh, well it has pros and cons

[paper rain]

so it maybe doesnt work bcs of this?

[ivory sleet]

i doubt

[paper rain]

😭

[ivory sleet]

im rather unsure tbf, but I mean I would say try to do the command again on a new location and test it

[paper rain]

i tried

i restarted server

[ivory sleet]

oh thats why

[paper rain]

i deleted config and load new

everything

[paper rain]

?

[ivory sleet]

yk that getConfig().set(...) doesnt dump it into the config.yml automatically

u need to use plugin.saveConfig() I think

[paper rain]

yeah and saveConfig() do

yep

im using it

[ivory sleet]

ah alr

[paper rain]

im gonna try debug

and print every location

[ivory sleet]

lol ye

make sure u print the block x y and z

as thats what u're using

[hollow beacon]

why aren't we using the location object

[paper rain]

ok

wdym?

[hollow beacon]

location is serializable

[ivory sleet]

he is using it

[paper rain]

im using location

object

Location location1 = plugin.getConfig().getLocation("mineblocks." + key + ".location");

[hollow beacon]

ah sick

and why do you compare x y z then

and not do

configLocation.equals(minedLocation)

[ivory sleet]

that'd yield false even if the block location is the same, but the offsets are different

[paper rain]

so i have to just compare the location like (if loc1 == loc2) ? xd

[hollow beacon]

i dont think location.getBlock returns with an offset

rather just the center block location

[ivory sleet]

well they're using p.getLocation() for now

[paper rain]

im just saving location to config and than getting it as a location and comparing its blockY, blockZ, blockX

[ivory sleet]

anyway Block basically translates to just the blockX, Y and Z from a Location

[hollow beacon]

yeah that would make it a lot easier

[ivory sleet]

I mean like, Location::getBlock basically calls getBlockX, getBlockY and getBlockZ at some point

[hollow beacon]

yeah so why would you do the logic manually

[ivory sleet]

which logic?

[hollow beacon]

the checking logic

[ivory sleet]

there's only the comparison

I mean its just three predicates u're invoking

[clever lantern]

is there a packet so i can show player nick when he is invisible (or hidden)?

[hollow beacon]

i dont think so but u can use armor stands

[flint coyote]

Under which circumstances will PlayerMoveEvent#getTo() be null?

[clever lantern]

can i set armor stand a nick?

[hollow beacon]

yeah I think you can, holographic displays does this iirc

[ivory sleet]

can it even be null?

[flint coyote]

Documentation states so

[ivory sleet]

ah nvm, I was reading docs

[flint coyote]

Eww :(

[summer scroll]

Is there in any way to remove spawn conditions for spawners with spigot api?

[late sonnet]

i think only that
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/block/CreatureSpawner.html
based in the wiki https://minecraft.wiki/w/Monster_Spawner#Data_values

[rare rover]

what would be the highest recommended about of sqlite connections for an mc server? I'm making multiple plugins for my server and i'm needing about like 4 connections and i was wondering if that could result in any network problems or something?

[young knoll]

SQLite is a local database

So no networking involved

[rare rover]

well that's fair 😅

so no apparent issues if i do use more than 2 connections?

[young knoll]

No

[rare rover]

okay, thanks ❤️

[summer scroll]

I couldn't found any method that clears spawn conditions in CreatureSpawner.

[young knoll]

What conditions

[summer scroll]

Everything, I want all spawners to spawn in all conditions.

Well, most importantly light level condition.

Here's my attempt

        // Try to modify the spawn conditions
        List<SpawnerEntry> potentialSpawns = new ArrayList<>();
        for (SpawnerEntry entry : spawner.getPotentialSpawns()) {
            SpawnRule rule = new SpawnRule(0, 15, 0, 15);
            potentialSpawns.add(new SpawnerEntry(entry.getSnapshot(), entry.getSpawnWeight(), rule));
        }
        // Set the potential spawns
        spawner.setPotentialSpawns(potentialSpawns);

[young knoll]

Ah perfect that’s the one you can clear

That should work

[summer scroll]

I've tested it and zombie spawner still act the same.

[young knoll]

Look at the spawner and run /data get block (tab complete the coords)

[summer scroll]

Ooops, I think I forgot to do CreatureSpawner#update

I did the update but zombie still won't spawn in daylight.

[young knoll]

Doesn’t look like anything got applied

?paste your code

[undone axle]

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

[summer scroll]

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

Perhaps the potential spawns is empty?

[young knoll]

Probably

It is by default on spawners

[summer scroll]

I don't really want to create my own spawner system lmao, or do I have to?

[young knoll]

Just check if it’s empty and if so use getSpawnedEntity and add that to your spawnPotentials list

[summer scroll]

It takes EntitySnapshot.

[cosmic loom]

which inventory event is most suitable for dragging an item and clicking it another item

[young knoll]

Yes

You can create a spawner entry with that snapshot

[quaint mantle]

is it possible to have 60 ppl on a server with 4gb of ram?

[summer scroll]

How can I get EntitySnapshot object from entity type?

[young knoll]

getSpawnedEntity should give you a snapshot

[shadow night]

that sounds like a no to me

[young knoll]

Depends on a lot of factors

[shadow night]

yee

if it's a void world with 2 chunks that can be loaded, that might work

[summer scroll]

Thank you, here's the new data, but the zombie still doesn't get spawned in daylight.

Updated code: https://paste.md-5.net/kujiqizate.cs

[young knoll]

Hmm that might be a bit of an oversight

Make it dark and let one spawn, then try it in the light

[summer scroll]

On dark it spawn the zombie right away.

But after that, the zombie keep spawning even on daylight.

That's weird.

[young knoll]

Yeah that’s what I figured

[cosmic loom]

what is the full exaplaination of this?/

[summer scroll]

Can you explain to me a little bit why it does that?

[young knoll]

Before you setSpawnPotentials, try doing setSpawnedType(null)

[young knoll]

Hoppers and hopper minecarts call that event when they move items

[summer scroll]

Would that make getSpawnedType become null after setting the spawn potentials?

[cosmic loom]

ok tq

[young knoll]

Not sure, it might be replaced when you call setSpawnPotentials

[summer scroll]

It's not replaced, the spawner doesn't have the mob spinning inside the block, and also my plugin really depends on getSpawnedType too.

set spawned type null -> set potential spawns -> set back the spawned type?

[young knoll]

Hmm then I’m not sure there is much you can do

I’ll need to add a setSpawnedEntity(SpawnEntry)

[fierce gale]

Does anyone have experience with Spigot and Paypal IPN?

[summer scroll]

So basically with this way, the spawner need to at least spawn once?

[young knoll]

The current entity it’s trying to spawn is still a standard zombie with no custom spawn rules, once that is spawned it gets replaced with an entry from spawnPotentials, which does have custom spawn rules

[summer scroll]

Ah that makes sense.

If I don't want this result then I assume I would need to create my own spawner system right?

[young knoll]

Or use some nms

[summer scroll]

Okay for sure I can use a little bit nms lmao.

[wintry lynx]

Think time asking lol:
Is there a good way to check an entire structure for Spawners? I don't want to iterate through every block since it's VERY slow.

[young knoll]

Spawners are tile entities

[summer scroll]

Any guides should I follow?

[young knoll]

So you can iterate tile entities instead

[young knoll]

I can provide some code in a min

[summer scroll]

Okay, appreciate it.

[young knoll]

CraftCreatureSpawner craftSpawner = (CraftCreatureSpawner) spawner;
NBTTagCompound compoundTag = ((CraftEntitySnapshot) snapshot).getData();

MobSpawnerData.a data = MobSpawnerData.a(new InclusiveRange<>(rule.getMinBlockLight(), rule.getMaxBlockLight()), new InclusiveRange<>(rule.getMinSkyLight(), rule.getMaxSkyLight()));
craftSpawner.getSnapshot().getSpawner().nextSpawnData = new MobSpawnerData(compoundTag, Optional.ofNullable(data);

Something like that, although those aren't Mojmap names so it may be a bit different

[proud badge]

How would I loop through every single PDC in a thing, I have the value but I need to find the key?

[young knoll]

iirc there is a getKeys

[summer scroll]

Thank you, will try that.

[cosmic loom]

How to check if item is tools or armor?
or weapons

[young knoll]

EnchantmentTarget is usually good for that

Or tags

[cosmic loom]

Thank You

[upper hazel]

do enchantments work beyond lvl 5? I tried to enchant but did not achieve the effect

what can replace them?

[young knoll]

Yes

Enchantments should work fine up to level 255

[upper hazel]

hmmm

you sure?

[young knoll]

yes

[upper hazel]

are there any nuances when adding char to an item via bukkit api

I tried to add them but they didn’t work, maybe I needed to add something else as parameters?

[young knoll]

char?

[icy beacon]

He means enchantment

[upper hazel]

enchantments.

[young knoll]

If you are adding overleveled enchantments you need to use addUnsafeEnchantment (ItemStack) or addEnchant(enchantment, level, true) (ItemMeta)

[upper hazel]

hm ok i will try

no, still doesn't work even if the enchantment sharpness 11 sword kills a pig with only 2 hits

netherite material....

[young knoll]

Let's see a screenshot

of the item

[upper hazel]

Through the command I can’t enchant an item above the basic standard levels

[worthy yarrow]

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/gidopipugu.java

Does this look correct for the intended functionality of the admin command? ie: start / remove a player's cooldown

[young knoll]

hmm.. I can't exactly read that XD

Can someone translate the 3 enchantments and the attrubute?

[worthy yarrow]

sharp 7... thats all I think I know

[dapper flower]

hi, i need to code an always burning furnace, so far I manage to only set blockdata to lit, but even seting to Short_MAX the furnace.burnTime but it doesnt cook anything and just shows as lit

[upper hazel]

it's sharpness and durability

and file resistance

[young knoll]

Sharpness 13

What's the attribute

[upper hazel]

13

durability 11

resistance 6

Everything else, ignore it, it's just attributes.

[icy beacon]

The attributes are "when equipped (wherever)": +1.6 attack speed

[young knoll]

Okay so that should be

7 damage

Pig has 10 health

So 2 hits is correct

[upper hazel]

with shapness 13? in Netherite??

[young knoll]

You have added a custom attribute

Which removes the base attack damage of the sword

You need to add it back

[upper hazel]

I just changed the speed of the attack

not damage

[worthy yarrow]

Ew that got formatted kinda ugly... maybe I should go back to 3 space indentation

[young knoll]

Yes as I said

You have added a custom attribute
Which removes the base attack damage of the sword

You need to add it back

[worthy yarrow]

If anyone would rather a version in discord:

[upper hazel]

When adding an attribute, the characteristics of the item are reset to the basic ones?

[tame wolf]

No, it removes them

[upper hazel]

this minecraft pisses me off....

[worthy yarrow]

^ Yeah I thought it was like removed completely ie: 100% customizable item

[summer scroll]

Here's my code now and the spawner still not spawning.
https://paste.md-5.net/gimayabugu.cs

[proud badge]

how would I get the plugin responsible for a namespaced key, getPlugin or something similar doesnt exist

[young knoll]

Let's see the /data output

[upper hazel]

attributes are added first, then enchantments. But it still doesn't work

[worthy yarrow]

I’m not 100% on namespacedkeys, but I thought more times than not, your plugin needed a key handler method(s) to return correct values

[proud badge]

Im looping through a bunch of namespaced keys rn and I wanna check the plugin responsible for it

like here lemme show you

Im using NBTToolTips mod

see the text before the : is the plugin responsible and after it is the name of the key

[sharp heart]

Is there a way to get the original block (the block at the creation of the world) at a location ?

[chrome beacon]

?xy

[undone axle]

http://xyproblem.info/

[chrome beacon]

Why do you need that

[sharp heart]

idk just for fun

[flint coyote]

what?

[worthy yarrow]

I feel like this would require nbt to have a sort of timestamp method that saves that information when a plugin creates a new tag

Nbt is open source eh? You could check there for how this data is stored in nbt and just relay changes based on what you need

[sharp heart]

I mean, the type of block at a certain location when the world was created

[worthy yarrow]

Sorry, I have never used nbt before haha, I know that probably wasn't the most helpful

[summer scroll]

@young knoll this is the difference between spawner that has spawned before and not.

I'm assuming we just need to add the custom_spawn_rules key to the compound tag?

[young knoll]

That's what the code I gave you should handle

[dapper flower]

hi, i need to code an always burning furnace, so far I manage to only set blockdata to lit, but even seting to Short_MAX the furnace.burnTime but it doesnt cook anything and just shows as lit

[summer scroll]

I've did the same thing, and the result was shown above.

[young knoll]

Weird

ah I see why

You are doing craftSpawner.getTileEntity

You need to use getSnapshot, which may be private

[wise mesa]

what are some pros and cons of project panama vs jni

[young knoll]

Nope getSnapshot is protected just like getTileEntity

[summer scroll]

Right, it's private yeah, protected to be exact.

getTileEntity is public.

[young knoll]

Not on my screen

👀

[analog flint]

guys how do you add sounds when right click on npc in citizen plugin

[wise mesa]

i don't think y0ou're in the right channel

[young knoll]

Smells like you are not using the spigot api

Since it's not public in that

[analog flint]

where do i go

sorry i didnt notice

[summer scroll]

Oh yeah I forgot about that, let me change it real quick.

[real palm]

Heya, question again.

I'm trying to add BungeeCord to my pom.xml (Maven) - however as of the Wiki "bungeecord-api" does not exist, only -chat and -parent. What should I do now?

[summer scroll]

Now it's the same as getTileEntity, both are protected.

[young knoll]

mhm

You'll have to reflection them

[dapper flower]

hi, i need to code an always burning furnace, so far I manage to only set blockdata to lit, but even seting to Short_MAX the furnace.burnTime but it doesnt cook anything and just shows as lit

[icy beacon]

What hosting specs do I realistically need to run a REST API + MySQL database + store (a lot of small) images?

Is this enough?

• 2 threads 3.3GHz
• 4GB ram
• 30GB NVME

[hybrid spoke]

if its not ressource intensive yes

but its the bare minimum for a small/medium service

[icy beacon]

What would you recommend to be sure that the performance is fine?

[hybrid spoke]

that depends on how many requests you are expecting, how's the cache build up etc. etc.

[icy beacon]

Well it really depends on how much traction the app will get lol. One user might send like 15-25 requests per minute maybe?

[hybrid spoke]

im a fan of seperating services

having an extra database server

one for the REST API

and maybe even an cdn for the images

[hybrid spoke]

but all in all if its not some heavy requests which each has to be computed individually you are fine to go

[icy beacon]

My budget is quite limited. Would it be better to separate things for me then?

[hybrid spoke]

you just have to stock up a bit if you gain more users

[dense jay]

someone can help? https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/help-with-fixing-mysql-issue.635298/

[hybrid spoke]

not yet, dont get too big too fast. take it into account when you need it or feel like it

[icy beacon]

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for helping!

[dense jay]

i need help with a mysql issue on my plugin

[sharp heart]

How can I ensure that an entity is deleted even if the server crashes?

[hollow beacon]

you dont, you remove it on startup

[dense jay]

it is giving a annoying mysql exception that i cant find out how to fix

[summer scroll]

Did this and the result is still the same https://paste.md-5.net/uqevejicob.cs

[real palm]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/create-your-first-bungeecord-plugin-proxy-spigotmc/ I think, the repository URL is dead, isn't it? 🧐

[dense jay]

hi

you can help me?

[river oracle]

wait patiently

no one is gonna help you if you're being annoying

you already posted on the forum too

[real palm]

no

[river oracle]

works for me

[real palm]

weird, I can't do anything...

[river oracle]

try clearing your cookies

[real palm]

I tried the basics already...

[river oracle]

mmm MD probably disabled list viewing then

oh wait that's official sonatype

yeah I doubt they'd have that listing public

they probably have an official listing somewhere that is prettier

@real palm here is the front end https://ossindex.sonatype.org/search

[real palm]

I already got it

but thanks 😄

right...

[cosmic loom]

How can I implement EnchantmentTarget

[upper hazel]

can anyone help, do enchantments work for more than lvl 8?

I was told that yes, but they still don’t work for me

[cosmic loom]

Or How do i check tags

[young knoll]

EnchantmentTarget.WHATEVER.includes

[shadow night]

They do and if they don't work for you, you fucked something up

[summer scroll]

~~@young knoll do you know why the code still doesn't work? https://paste.md-5.net/uqevejicob.cs~~
Nevermind it works! Thanks for the help Col, really appreciate it!

[proud badge]

How would I get a block's x and z coordinates in a chunk?

1-16

[tender shard]

(% 16) + 1

[slender elbow]

no

it won't work if the coords are negative

[tender shard]

then & 0xF

• 1

[shadow night]

Denegative them then

[slender elbow]

idk why you'd want to +1 them tbh, they go from 0 incl to 16 excl lol

[shadow night]

If chunk is 16 blocks, doesn't mean 0 to 15? 🤔

[eternal oxide]

return Math.floorDiv(value, 16);

Works for negative too

[river oracle]

x & 0xF will work

[tender shard]

because he said 1-16 not 0-15

btw % 16 also works?

[proud badge]

int x = block.getX() % 16; ?

[slender elbow]

no it doesn't

[river oracle]

& for binary and 0xF for 16

[slender elbow]

& 0xf is the right way

[tender shard]

for example -126 is chunk coordinate 2, and -126 mod 16 is 2

[proud badge]

Im trying to put it in an array so

[slender elbow]

also that's for chunks, not the block within the chunk

[proud badge]

2d array*

[river oracle]

either way the binary and is a faster operation

wait nvm it doesn't matter

[shadow night]

Isn't & 0xF the fastest tho

[river oracle]

I'm not working on an arduino i'm not working on an arduino

[tender shard]

so I dont see why % 16 should not work. it does work for -126 at least, why shouldnt it work for any other number?

[proud badge]

so like this?

Im trying to put the block in an array

[river oracle]

si senior

[slender elbow]

% 16 doesn't work because it doesn't work

jshell> -126 % 16
$2 ==> -14

[tender shard]

can you give me an example of any number where it doesnt work?

[river oracle]

how did you get -14

its 2

[shadow night]

Sounds like you have something wrong

[slender elbow]

it's literally just jshell lol

[slender elbow]

python is not java

& 16 is the correct way

[chrome beacon]

Can confirm -126 % 16 = -14 in jshell

[river oracle]

that's so weird wtf

I just tested it yeah

why the fuck

[tender shard]

weird

[river oracle]

@tender shard apparently it works in math, but ig Java just can't math properly

[eternal oxide]

Math.floorDiv handles it fine

[slender elbow]

that is not the operation they are asking for

[shadow night]

I just tried running it in java and it gave me -14???

[slender elbow]

that will give you the chunk coord, not the block coord within the chunk which is what they're asking

[tender shard]

yeah well then just do this

[slender elbow]

which is always 0 to 16

[eternal oxide]

oh yeah. I thought thats what they asked for. My bad

[proud badge]

ok, so will this put the first block in the chunk at the first values in the array?

        Chunk chunk = block.getChunk();
        NamespacedKey key = getKey(block.getY());
        PersistentDataContainer pdc = chunk.getPersistentDataContainer();
        byte[][] currentData = ByteFlattener.unflatten(pdc.get(key, PersistentDataType.BYTE_ARRAY), 16, 16);
        byte index = findIndex(chunk, uuid);
        currentData[block.getX() & 0xF][block.getZ() & 0xF] = index;
    }```

[shadow night]

Seems to work

[echo basalt]

It seems like events don't get fired when a plugin is disabling

icky

[upper hazel]

hey what is the best way to change the characteristics of an item if enchantments do not work?

[late sonnet]

what characteristics ?

[warped jasper]

Good evening, could I get help with my plugin?

[late sonnet]

i mean this discord if for that (and talk)
if you wanna help in configuration #help-server if is for code then here.

the fuck

who is this fucking alex that he thinks he knows better than me, whose name is alex too?!

dont do blocking calls on the main thread

[tender shard]

solve what

[lean pumice]

the error

i have liked it

[tender shard]

oh sorry didnt see the paste

what's JoinCommand onJoin?

[lean pumice]

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

[fleet kraken]

Any easy and fast way to do this?

[flint coyote]

Use the events and check if the offhand slot is involved (for the first two) then cancel them. Shouldn't take too long

[fleet kraken]

I will try it, thank you

PlayerSwapHandItemsEvent handle "f" key?

[flint coyote]

yes

Please forgive me for being a complete noob at Eclipse, how do I fix this?

The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot find the class file for org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull. Fix the build path then try building this project

[fleet kraken]

ok, thanks

[eternal oxide]

Add teh annotation dependency

[tender shard]

are you using maven or gradle?

[vague saffron]

I believe it's maven.

[tender shard]

so you do have a pom.xml file?

[vague saffron]

I do not

[tender shard]

do you have a build.gradle or build.gradle.kts file?

[vague saffron]

Neither

[tender shard]

then you're using neither maven or gradle. then you'll have to add jetbrains annotations manually to the project libraries or however its called in eclipse

[waxen plinth]

throw new RuntimeException(e);

[shadow night]

that's what generates automatically when you press a button

[vague saffron]

I just installed Eclipse because it's free. I looked at JetBrains but it requires some money to use... even for personal use...

[waxen plinth]

💀

[shadow night]

not really

[fervent robin]

intellij is free

The prepared statement gets closed in the try with resources and I cant populate the cached row set in the try with resources

Whats the best solution?

[tender shard]

intelliJ is free, and imho it's much easier to use. I wrote a small blog post about how to setup a project in IJ using maven (which saves you from a ton of issues in the future): https://blog.jeff-media.com/how-to-create-your-first-minecraft-plugin-using-the-spigot-api-and-maven/

The prepared statement gets closed in the try with resources and I cant populate the cached row set in the try with resources

[tender shard]

i think the problem is that you put the CachedRowSet into the (...) resources part of the try / cache

does it really fail while populating it, or when you try to use it later?

[fervent robin]

Yeah and I added this to the catch Logger.info("Failed to populate");

Thats also with moving the CachedRowSet into the body of the try ^

[vague saffron]

So I found the pom.xml lol. I was looking in the wrong folder....

[tender shard]

If you got a pom.xml file, you have to use maven to compile, not eclipse's builtin biuld system - but idk, I haven't used eclipse in 4 years or so

Try Right click proejct -> Run as -> Maven build

[vague saffron]

I installed the community edition of intelj

[flint coyote]

compare the slot or rawslot.

[proud badge]

wait, is it even possible to modify an array after its been created?

what im doing might not even work

[fervent robin]

Yeah?

array[index] = value

[proud badge]

        Chunk chunk = block.getChunk();
        NamespacedKey key = getKey(block.getY());
        PersistentDataContainer pdc = chunk.getPersistentDataContainer();
        byte[][] currentData = ByteFlattener.unflatten(pdc.get(key, PersistentDataType.BYTE_ARRAY), 16, 16);
        byte index = findIndex(chunk, uuid);
        if(index != 127) {
            currentData[block.getX() & 0xF][block.getZ() & 0xF] = index;
        }
        if(currentData.length == 0) {
            return;
        }
        pdc.set(getKey(block.getY()), PersistentDataType.BYTE_ARRAY, ByteFlattener.flatten(currentData));
    }``` i'm getting the 2d array from the PDC and modifying it

Wait whats the default value for the unused slots, cause ik byte cant have null

[young knoll]

0

[proud badge]

Ok thats not good I need to rework everything 💀

[slender elbow]

xd

[tender shard]

what are you even trying to do

[proud badge]

A system that stores a player's UUID in a block (storage efficiently)

using PDc

wait if I put
byte[0][5] to something, will the below values auto get filled to 0?

k it doesnt matter either way I just fixed it

byte[][] currentData = ByteFlattener.unflatten(pdc.get(key, PersistentDataType.BYTE_ARRAY), 16, 16); lets say the PDC doesnt have anything, will it just return an empty 2d array?

[fervent robin]

Does anyone have an idea about this? I even tried just using a normal try and closing it in the finally statement and that didnt work

[young knoll]

Depends what ByteFlattener.unflatten does

[young knoll]

pretty sure array1d is gonna be null

[slender elbow]

if the pdc doesn't have anything for that key, it'll return null

[proud badge]

but I thought primitive data types cant be null

[slender elbow]

an array is an object

[young knoll]

Array isn't a primative data type

[proud badge]

Ok I see

Ill add a pdc.has and if it doesnt ill make a new one

[tender shard]

PDC computeIfAbsent when

[proud badge]

ok, how do I just make it empty?

without this error

[vague saffron]

Could not get HEAD Ref, are you sure you have set the dotGitDirectory property of this plugin to a valid path?

So close...

Nevermind commented out the plugin from the pom.xml

[proud badge]

ok I found it

[split lichen]

I'd greatly appreciate some input from anyone better versed in ProtocolLib than myself here - I'm trying to intercept tab completion packets and send a new one in their place, but I'm not sure how to do that specifically. This is what I've got so far

[worldly ingot]

Ehm... why?

You know we have events for this purpose, right?

[river oracle]

I'm sorry whats an event?

[split lichen]

Please inform me if that's the case, my goal is to intercept the tab complete packets in order to send a separate completion when a player performs /version + tab

[river oracle]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot

[worldly ingot]

TabCompleteEvent for command arguments, and PlayerCommandSendEvent for commands

[river oracle]

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

[worldly ingot]

So you probably want the former, TabCompleteEvent

[split lichen]

Is it possible to send custom completions instead of the regular ones with commands, including their arguments?

If I were to attempt to disable /plugins + tab for example

[worldly ingot]

Yeah you can clear the suggestions in that event and add your own. That list is mutable

Or even just setCompletions(new ArrayList<>()); if that's more your cup of tea :p

[fervent robin]

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

I am so confused

[split lichen]

How would I check if the player attempts to do a list of specific commands though, I don't want to clear all chat completions

[worldly ingot]

getBuffer() gets you the command that is being tab completed

I think it includes /? I don't remember off the top of my head

[fervent robin]

How does the statement get closed?

[split lichen]

I honestly had no idea, thanks for educating me, I appreciate your help

[worldly ingot]

Your prepareStatementWithParameters() method is using a try-with-resources which closes it at the end of the method scope

[river oracle]

^ you want to not use try with resources here, but honestly I would reccomend not returning a PreparedStatement instead take one as a parameter

[young knoll]

Tis why we don't return result sets / statements

[worldly ingot]

If you remove your try statement in your second method there you'll be fine. You're already assigning the value in a try-with-resources in your executeQuery() method

[fervent robin]

Alright thanks

[fervent robin]

Whats the better alternative in my case? I dont to repeat the same code in 2 methods

[river oracle]

pass it in as the parameter

you can do this in a static method too

it decouples it from your class

plus would allow you remove the query parameter would also allow you to have a void return type

[fervent robin]

pass the prepared statement to the executeQuery right?

[river oracle]

no simply don't execute the query within your method

overall its poorly designed

[worldly ingot]

whut

Oh, yeah, no, you're fine. I'd just keep them as internal utility methods to facilitate creation of other more public methods that don't return an SQL type

[sonic mountain]

I'm making a /sell plugin in version 1.6.4, and all the items sell normally, except the lapis lazuli

[worldly ingot]

In an ideal world, callers of your methods there aren't going to interact with much SQL API at all

[river oracle]

    private final void addParameters(PreparedStatement statement, List<?> parameters) throws SQLException {
            for (int i = 0; i < parameters.size(); i++) {
                s.setObject(i + 1, parameters.get(i));
            }
        }
    }

tbh I'd personally do it like this. You really shouldn't be passing around AutoClosables IMHO try with resources is really nice to make sure everything gets shut down I prefer to leverage that

[dapper flower]

How to detect the movement of an item from an inventory to another inventory? basically i want to block the player from putting fuel into a furnace

[young knoll]

InventoryClickEvent

[dapper flower]

that way i block all kind of clicks, i just want to block the ability of puting an item in a single slot

[worldly ingot]

Or InventoryMoveItemEvent if you're talking about hoppers

[dapper flower]

i tried InventoryMoveItemEvent, but it doesnt catch the event even with a logger in it

if there is a way to get the position of the clicked item in the inventory using InventoryClickEvent

i could use that but i dont know of such method

[fervent robin]

Oh alright, since I cant addParameters in the try with resources (..) I would have to do this?

hey guys can i have a problem where whenever i save my yaml config the formatting gets messed up. below is an example before it gets saved
`settings:
debugMode: 'false'
updateChecking: 'true'
chatFormatting: 'true'

Chat - Moderation

hexChat: 'true'
antiSwear: 'true'
antiChatRepeat: 'true'
chatCooldown: 'true'
chatCooldownTime: '3'

Chat - Customization

joinFormat: 'true'
leaveFormat: 'true'
motdDelayTime: '3'
motd: 'true'
announceFormat: 'GRADIENT:e34034[ANNOUNCEMENT]</GRADIENT:e0af26>GRADIENT:b2de43%message%</GRADIENT:49d1cf>'now here is after it gets saved settings:
debugMode: 'false'
updateChecking: 'true'
chatFormatting: 'true'

Chat - Moderation

hexChat: 'true'
antiSwear: 'true'
antiChatRepeat: 'true'
chatCooldown: 'true'
chatCooldownTime: '3'

Chat - Customization

joinFormat: 'true'
leaveFormat: 'true'
motdDelayTime: '3'
motd: 'true'
announceFormat: GRADIENT:e34034[ANNOUNCEMENT]</GRADIENT:e0af26>GRADIENT:b2de43%message%</GRADIENT:49d1cf>`
you can see that announceFormat gets the single quotation marks removed

this is how i save the messages
`public static void saveMessagesGroups()
{
try
{
groups.save(groupsF);
groups = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(groupsF);

        msg.save(msgF);
        msg = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(msgF);

        words.save(wordsF);
        words = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(wordsF);

        settings.save(settingsF);
        settings = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(settingsF);

    }
    catch (IOException iOException)
    {
        console.sendMessage("&4Error Plugin Config Cant Be Saved. The plugin will not work correctly!");
    }
}`

[orchid brook]

quotes around string values are optional in yaml no ?

[ashen schooner]

yes but some strings have it others dont

that is whats bothering me

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

this is the whole yaml

[young knoll]

Remove them all then

[ashen schooner]

it then empties out the whole config

[ashen schooner]

if i remove the quotes from around these the whole config breaks
chatFormat: '%prefix%&7%player_name% &b%arrow% &7%message%' noGroupChatFormat: '&7%player_name% &b%arrow% &7%message%'

do you know what can cause that?

[young knoll]

Ah

yeah yaml doesn't like stuff starting with %

[kind hatch]

Also, true and false don't need to be encased in quotes if those are actually boolean values,

[ashen schooner]

will opening them as a string still work?

[kind hatch]

Depends on how you setup your code.

[ashen schooner]

so like ConfigManager.settings.getString("settings.updateChecking").equalsIgnoreCase("true")

[young knoll]

Yeah that works

[kind hatch]

It does??

[young knoll]

Pretty sure you can just use getBoolean though

[kind hatch]

^ Would recommend that

[young knoll]

why would it not?

[kind hatch]

If I have a value of section: 'true'
#getBoolean("section") should fail since it's a string right?

[young knoll]

Pretty sure spigot's config api will convert it

[dapper flower]

thank you i will try

[ashen schooner]

okay thanks guys i did not know the % thing

[kind hatch]

Well if that's the case, then why tf do we not have interchangeable support for String and StringList for config sections like this?

section:
  - "String 1"
  - "String 2"

# VS swapping it out with

section: "One String"

REEEEEE

[ashen schooner]

i have one more question tho

i switched to maven in idea and now i have this target folder

the files often get placed completely wrong inside of it

and in order for the build to work i have to rearrange it everytime

is there a way to automate this?

show your pom.xml

[ashen schooner]

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

[tender shard]

that's where it compiles your stuff etc

[tender shard]

no, you should never touch that folder at all

except to copy out the finished .jar file

but why my plugin if i use minecraft's advancements?

i dont get it

[tender shard]

are you trying to get a vanilla advancement?

or adding your own?

[pure dagger]

yes yes

[tender shard]

ah yeah then do what coll said

[pure dagger]

"minecraft" as first arguments

okay thank you ❤️

[viral hazel]

can you help me?

[tender shard]

add .toString() on titleColor

or insert + "" + between titleCOlor and the next ChatColor

ChatColor.FIRST_COLOR + "" + ChatColor.SECOND_COLOR

[viral hazel]

? like thi?

[tender shard]

yes

[viral hazel]

thanks

[tender shard]

np

[viral hazel]

Can you help me? where is the problem?

[tender shard]

give the book to yourself, take it in the main hand, then enter /data get entity <yourname> SelectedItem, then show the output

I guess for a written book you'll have to set an author and title or sth

[viral hazel]

yees, i add the autor and is working

[fervent robin]

Is there a better way to check if a player clicks a specific item in your inventory other than by comparing by item name?

[tender shard]

do you mean you wanna detect a custom item you created yourself or sth?

[viral hazel]

and why text is not in the center?

[fervent robin]

custom item i created

[tender shard]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/persistent-data-container-the-better-alternative-to-nbt-tags/

[tender shard]

because your centerText method adds too many spaces

[wide coyote]

if its a premade code i guess it was made for chat or motd

[viral hazel]

and how should it be right?

[tender shard]

you can't center text reliably

what if the player uses a custom font or sth?

[viral hazel]

only a few private players play on this server and no one has their own fonts so I want to centralize it because of that

[kind hatch]

Centering text isn't the easiest task since each letter is a different width. There is a thread that has a utility class that does this for you, but it isn't 100% perfect. That and it was mostly made for chat centering.

[viral hazel]

ohh okay

[tender shard]

how does your centerText method even look like?

[viral hazel]

and why hex code dont working?

[kind hatch]

What method are you using for hex codes?

[viral hazel]

String serverInfoHexColor = "99B080";
ChatColor serverInfoColor = ChatColor.getByChar(serverInfoHexColor.charAt(0));
meta.addPage(centerText(serverInfoColor + "This book is about server..."));

[tender shard]

you're only taking the first char of your hex color (7) into a normal color code

[kind hatch]

public static final Pattern HEX_PATTERN = Pattern.compile("#[a-fA-F0-9]{6}");

public static String formatHexColorCodes(String string) {
  Matcher matcher = HEX_PATTERN.matcher(string);
  while (matcher.find()) {
    string = string.replace(matcher.group(), "" + ChatColor.of(matcher.group()));
  }

  return string;
}

[tender shard]

ChatColor titleColor = ChatColor.of("#123456");

[hasty oyster]

Any way for me to disable loading/generating the end? I just don't want the end, and I have allow-end: false in the spigot.yml config ):

[20:58:06] [Server thread/INFO]: Preparing start region for dimension minecraft:the_end
[20:58:07] [Worker-Main-2/INFO]: Preparing spawn area: 0%

[20:58:07] [Worker-Main-2/INFO]: Preparing spawn area: 0%
[20:58:08] [Worker-Main-10/INFO]: Preparing spawn area: 0%

[tender shard]

allow-end is in bukkit.yml

not spigot.yml

[sullen marlin]

if allow end is false (in bukkit.yml) it won't load; unless you have a multiworld plugin like multiverse also choosing to load it

[hasty oyster]

Cheers guys!

Can I do the same for the nether? allow-nether? :)

[sullen marlin]

that's in server.properties, but same

[hasty oyster]

Gotcha, thanks

[tender shard]

btw @sullen marlin is nether and the_end always called <default-world-name>_nether and <default-world-name>_the_end?

[sullen marlin]

not if you disable the inbuilt ones and add one via a multiworld plugin

[tender shard]

yeah sure, but the builtin ones?

[sullen marlin]

I think so

[tender shard]

ok thx

[fervent robin]

[sharp heart]

Hello, with paper there is the method "#setPos" to set the location of an entity with the "ClientboundAddEntityPacket".
How to do it for spigot, so that could be compatible with every forks ?

[tender shard]

is that an NMS Display?

[sharp heart]

Because setPos is a method from Paper I guess

[sharp heart]

yes

[tender shard]

then setPos is an NMS method

[sharp heart]

so why do I get this error ?

[kind hatch]

Probably because it was added in later versions.

[sharp heart]

maybe..

[tender shard]

setPos is called e on 1.19.4

not a_

[sharp heart]

what is this website ?

[tender shard]

https://mappings.cephx.dev/1.19.4/net/minecraft/world/entity/Display.html

are you not using automatic remapping or sth?

[sharp heart]

thank you

[sharp heart]

nop

[kind hatch]

?mappings

[tender shard]

huh why not 🥲

[undone axle]

Compare different mappings with this website: https://mappings.cephx.dev

[kind hatch]

Wait

[sharp heart]

too hard for me

[kind hatch]

What's the command for remapping?

[tender shard]

?switchmappings

[undone axle]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/switching-from-spigot-mappings-to-mojang-mappings/

[tender shard]

?nms

[undone axle]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[kind hatch]

Ah

[tender shard]

well if you use maven or gradle, you only need to add the remapping plugin and then it automatically does it

you just use the mojang names (setPos) in your code, and the remapping plugin turns that into the obfuscated name again (a_, e, ...)

[sharp heart]

what is this plugin ?

[tender shard]

do you use maven or gradle?

[sharp heart]

gradle

[tender shard]

https://github.com/patrick-choe/mojang-spigot-remapper

[sharp heart]

yes but I need BuildTools

[tender shard]

plugins {
    id "io.github.patrick.remapper" version "1.4.0"
}

dependencies {
    id "org.spigotmc:spigot:1.19.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT:remapped-mojang"
}

tasks {
    remap {
        version.set("1.19.4")
    }
}

[tender shard]

yes. just download and run it and select "1.19.4" and check the "Remapped" option

[sharp heart]

this is really long

[tender shard]

what do you mean?

[sharp heart]

I don't have a good internet connection

[tender shard]

oh yeah well it takes quite a while on first time

[sharp heart]

In my memories it took me 1h to download a jar

Can I use SynchedEntityData to define location, instead of doing it with setters from Display entity ?

[sullen marlin]

why do you even need packets for this

[sharp heart]

To avoid using BuildTools

[sullen marlin]

?

Display entities are in the API

[sharp heart]

setPos method wasn't in 1.19.4 I guess

[tender shard]

setPos is NMS

[sharp heart]

so my plugin is compatible from 1.20.1 to 1.20.4, but not 1.19.4

[tender shard]

you just teleport the bukkit entity

[sullen marlin]

.teleport is how you move entities with the API

[tender shard]

why do you need to use NMS for display entities?

[slender elbow]

using nms is anti version compatibility

[sharp heart]

I have to use them to prevent entities from remaining after a crash.

[sullen marlin]

.setPersistent(false)

[tender shard]

setPersistent(false)

damn

[sharp heart]

damn

[eternal oxide]

Wrong place but you are probably not forwarding ports if using Bungee

[fervent robin]

Line 5 is the problem. I have a CompleteableFuture<Boolean> that returns if the player confirmed in the GUI. The problem is how do I provide a completable future that I can return with the getResult method? If I just initialize it to a constructor then its bad practice?
Class: https://paste.md-5.net/hozewusoca.cs

[tender shard]

if you want to return a boolean from your future, just use CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> { ... });

[fervent robin]

and initialize completeableFuture variable with the constructor?

[tender shard]

no

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/CompletableFuture.html#supplyAsync-java.util.function.Supplier-

it's a static method

CompletableFuture<Boolean> myFuture = CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> {
  Thread.sleep(1000); // Wait some time
  return true; // return the boolean
});

[fervent robin]

Ik but the variable has to be a field so I can also return it in getResult

[tender shard]

also why are you creating a new one here? you're supposed to complete the existing one, not create a new one

it looks like what you actually wanna do is to create an "empty" future right?

in that case yeah just use the constructor

[fervent robin]

yes

alright thanks

[tender shard]

and then call complete on it later

make the field final so you don't accidentally change it later lol

[fervent robin]

nah the issue is more like... that I haven't written anything for the command yet besides this lol

[worthy yarrow]

would be cool but idk how you would achieve that

[worthy yarrow]

Haha gotcha no worries

[tender shard]

works great

[fervent robin]

I get this a SQL syntax exception on this?

DROP TABLE quests;
DROP TABLE quests_rewards;
DROP TABLE quests_rewards_commands;
DROP TABLE quests_rewards_items;

[tender shard]

show the exception

[young knoll]

Looks perfect

[fervent robin]

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'DROP TABLE quests_rewards;

The tables exist and even when I added "IF EXISTS" it still failed

[tender shard]

are you using a separate execute("...") thing for each line?

[fervent robin]

no

[tender shard]

you need to

[fervent robin]

oh

thanks

[tender shard]

np

why 🥲

yay finally

[young knoll]

Does /home (no args) take you to your first home

[tender shard]

it takes you to your home called "home", if any

[young knoll]

I guess that works

[tender shard]

I stole the essentials behaviour

/sethome -> sets home named "home"
/home -> goes to home called "home"

[young knoll]

I swear I remember essentials /home just showing a list of homes if you have more than one

Maybe I’m insane

[round finch]

@young knoll nope u right

i just did it on b1.7.3 server

[tender shard]

oh yeah true. However /sethome sets a home named "home"

[young knoll]

I remember always getting annoyed about having to do /home home

[tender shard]

Basics does not have that issue!!!!1111

[round finch]

lol then you only have a list with 1 home and it sells you to specify a home

[tender shard]

home-list: "<green>Available homes: <gold><homes></gold></green>"
home-list-entry: "<hover:show_text:'<gold><name></gold>\nX: <gold><x></gold> <gray>|</gray> Y: <gold><y></gold> <gray>|</gray> Z: <gold><z></gold> <gray>|</gray> <gold><world></gold>\n<color:#994499>Click to teleport</color>'><gold><click:suggest_command:'/home <name>'><name></click></gold></hover>"
home-list-separator: "<gray>, </gray>"

yeah that is very easy to read right

[round finch]

html style

[tender shard]

do you have a better idea for the placeholders? Currently it uses <name>, <x>, <y> but someone could have declared global tags in custom-tags.yml with those names, so I think maybe module-specific tags should have a special name, e.g. <%name%> - although that is probably something people wouzld use for custom PAPI tags in custom-tags.yml lmao. So maybe <$name> <$x> etc?

<_name>
<$name>
<%name%>

hm...

ok tags must be this

[tender shard]

why does IJ complain about this?

[fluid river]

yo guys

i'm trying to make EventListener system in a unity game

Currently i have made a class loader on c# inside the project which basically loads all of the mods in game's mods folder

now i need to code degraded spigotmc code for unity game

anybody want to participate(help me understand how to make an event system)?

my first mod basically changed a cube mesh to sphere and applied nicholas cage's face as a texture 🙂

What i currently don't understand is why event needs a handlerlist

and what is PluginManager actually for if it doesn't store a Collection<Listener> or Collection<EventHandler>

or if it does, how is server avoiding bottlenecking when 9999 events happening at the same time are sent to 9999 listeners and processed

and also when some of them are cancellable, listeners process their cancellation 💀

There are also custom events(which i'm gonna implement by adding components which extend AbstractEvent to gameobjects on the scene)

[fluid river]

wdym

[wide coyote]

fun fact

it doesn't

[fluid river]

but server is somehow 20tps most of the time

[wide coyote]

why wouldn't it be

[fluid river]

because there are lots of events happening in the world?

i guess

[wide coyote]

without listeners its just an empty for loop

listeners and their actions make it take time

[fluid river]

yeah but what bout internal listeners?

[wide coyote]

like?

[fluid river]

idk some

server sends packets

idk if they are also handled by listeners

some internal ones

[wide coyote]

iirc packet handling is done by another thread

events (at least many of them) are in the same thread as bukkit

[fluid river]

don't mods also use event system?

[wide coyote]

this may not be correct tho

[wide coyote]

wdym?

[fluid river]

forge mods with @EventHandler

shit

[wide coyote]

i never made mods but i doubt they do

[fluid river]

it's even worse

[wide coyote]

lol

just leave it

he is not an active user ig

didn't even got the username

[fluid river]

well, they do

[wide coyote]

that is not related to the server

[fluid river]

but modded minecraft still doesn't lag much

[wide coyote]

forge does that i guess

[fluid river]

trying to make game moddable

[wide coyote]

it would work the same way

[fluid river]

so that's related not to the server, but to my problem 🙂

[wide coyote]

shouldn't matter

[fluid river]

what the hell is Event.handlerList

why

[wide coyote]

i have no idea what that is

[wide coyote]

you can try and implement a ticking system

i guess that would help

[fluid river]

maybe

[wide coyote]

not quite sure if that would skip the events from happening or add them in a queue or smth

[fluid river]

yeah i would definitely need a queue

tho tickrate should probably be on 50-60 like fps

like in csgo where it's 64

[wide coyote]

sometimes 128 ig

and i guess in cs2 its 256 i believe?

i am not sure

[fluid river]

i don't know

never played

[wide coyote]

it sucks

don't bother to download

anyways, ticking system should be your go to answer

[fluid river]

i guess

but do i really use just the:

[wide coyote]

i think so

[fluid river]

this feels kinda cringe

[wide coyote]

if you got any other ideas just as performant as this is, use it

[fluid river]

one list for everything happening in the game

[wide coyote]

how else would it work tho?

[fluid river]

separate list for every type of event xD

Much memory would be used but time is saved

[wide coyote]

maybe a map with eventtypes, listeners

[fluid river]

cuz imagine

[wide coyote]

or table idk whatever its called in c#

[fluid river]

dictionary

c#'s hashmap

on every event happening i need to select which listeners to send event to

[wide coyote]

    public void processQuest(Event event) {
        for (HandlerWrapper wrapper : registeredHandlers) {
            Method handler = wrapper.getHandler();
            if (handler.getParameterTypes()[0] != event.getClass()) continue;

            Quest quest = wrapper.getQuest();

            try {
                handler.invoke(quest, event);
            } catch (IllegalAccessException | InvocationTargetException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

this is a method i used 2 years ago

it was made for a quest plugin

[fluid river]

hashmap is probably a good solution actually

[wide coyote]

registeredHandlers was a set in this plugin but yeah like i said its old lol

[fluid river]

bruh

getting all event types which are not abstract

like this actually

since EventDescription is abstract

[worthy yarrow]

  defaultBalance: 100
  ######################################################################################################################
  setCoins:
    sendSetCoinsMessage: true
    setCoinsMessage: "&fYou have just set &c&l%player%&r's balance to &a&l%playerBalance%"
  ######################################################################################################################

    sendRemoveFailMessage: true
    removeCoinsFailMessage: "&c&lYou do not have enough coins to perform this action! You currently have %currentCoins%!"
  ######################################################################################################################

How do we feel about this?

[worthy yarrow]

I forgot to add the default removeCoinsFailMessage and removeCoinsSuccessMessage so thats fixed (same with the slight pathing error for removeCoins)

Also I think it's worth mentioning setcoins / addcoins method is for admin command usage hence the notifyTarget object

RemoveCoins I was handling a bit differently functionality wise... however I don't think the notify target is necessary there

private final EconomyManager economyManager = new EconomyManager(this);
 @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        registerCommands();
        enableLogInfo();
        loadConfig();
    }

    private void registerCommands(){
        getCommand("coin").setExecutor(new CoinCommand(this, economyManager));
    }

Also would this be correct initialization of economyManager? or am I just dumb

[echo basalt]

playerUUID -> playerId

Don't use public variables

[worthy yarrow]

Changed, working on renaming playeruuid

What do you think of the configurablility options?

[echo basalt]

public variables icky

[worthy yarrow]

mmmm....

    public boolean sendSetCoinsMessage;
    public String setCoinsMessage;
    public boolean sendAddCoinsMessage;
    public String addCoinsMessage;
    public boolean sendRemoveSuccessMessage;
    public String removeCoinsSuccessMessage;


    public boolean sendRemoveFailMessage;
    public String removeCoinsFailMessage;```

[echo basalt]

Yeah that's not great

What you should do instead is just have a sendMessage method

Where you pass a message identifier

And if that message exists, it gets send

It it doesn't, whatever

[worthy yarrow]

Hmm yeah that sounds a lot better haha

How does the structure look so far?

Other than the addressed issues ofc

[echo basalt]

Give me a second I'm dealing with a plugin that decided to nuke all of its player data in a production server

[worthy yarrow]

How lovely

[twilit wharf]

I am having a problem with my plugin where on server shutdown it isnt reliably removing entities from the world. I need them to be deleted when the server shutdowns, and I am doing so by the onDisable event. Should I be doing it based off an EventHandler for world unload or something similar? Or is my issue elsewhere?

[worthy yarrow]

You should probably move this logic to another helper method and call that method onDisable

[twilit wharf]

well yeah

I was not talking about my code structure

I was talking about how I listened for server shutdown

[worthy yarrow]

I'm also not sure if running a slight delay might help

[twilit wharf]

I think that the world would be unloaded by then though no?

[wet breach]

this isn't going to work, you would need to remove your entities on next startup. In order to delete entities you need to load chunks, the server is unloading chunks when it is shutting down

[worthy yarrow]

I'm not sure if that's detectable, since onDisable means your plugins disable

[twilit wharf]

thats the issue, if the only way to delete the entities is on startup, how does someone with my plugin ever get rid of the entities?

[worthy yarrow]

reloading the plugin

[twilit wharf]

if they want to remove the plugin*

[worthy yarrow]

or when you run the entity cleanup logic

perhaps you provide a command or something for the clear entitys

[twilit wharf]

ig I could add some extra logic to allow a cleanup command or what not

but that would be a pain for both me and the consumer

[worthy yarrow]

Could allow for single chunk cleanup as well

might be nicer tbf

[twilit wharf]

the plugin handles everything automatically (by deleting on startup) so the consumer never sees the issue until they go to delete the plugin. its not something they would regularly need to do

so I guess I will just make a "disable" command which just disables the entirety of the plugin so that it can be removed without the left over entities

(the entities are the plugin)

[worthy yarrow]

"its not something they would regularly need to do" I think this answers your question, you just simply need to make cases for when this function needs to come into play

[twilit wharf]

yeah the best case would be delete on shutdown

oh actually

[worthy yarrow]

hmm

[sullen marlin]

Entity.setPersistent(false)?

[twilit wharf]

does that make it not able to save?

[sullen marlin]

yes

[twilit wharf]

thats exactly what I need, I didnt realize that existed

[worthy yarrow]

md with a hot fix

Big W

[wet breach]

by doing it on startup, they record where their entities were at

on startup you take those locations, load the relevant chunks, remove your entities if you need them removed

[twilit wharf]

I already do that, the plugin functions fine except for deleting it

but now I can just delete all of that code

and just do what md said

[worthy yarrow]

I mean

You could leave what you have and implement extra functionality... just keep expanding it

[twilit wharf]

wdym

[worthy yarrow]

As in every single case for when a user needs to clear entities

It's really just extra user functionality benefit ya know?

[twilit wharf]

in my plugin the entities are text displays that are passengers to entities and show their health, they should never need to be cleared (their visibility and what not is handled elsewhere, dont worry about that)

the only reason they should ever be deleted is on shutdown

[worthy yarrow]

ah gotcha

[twilit wharf]

yeah

[worthy yarrow]

no worries then

you got exactly what you needed then haha

[twilit wharf]

yep

can always count on md

[worthy yarrow]

always pops outa the woodworks too

Sucks being self taught over spigot api and not knowing all the solutions D:

[twilit wharf]

not sure there is any other way to learn spigot

[worthy yarrow]

There's always another way

Doesn't mean it will be the best

So I'd listen to md

[twilit wharf]

pretty sure everyone, including the tutorial makers are self taught, there are not really "docs" from the developers of spigot themselves, just the community in the forums

the javadocs are a lifeline

[worthy yarrow]

Well I just meant that my experience is not as extensive as others, and to just have this information on command is impressive. I get the docs are easily available but it's hard to sometimes search for what you need

[twilit wharf]

ah yeah, I just let github copilot tell me what it thinks is best, half the time it has a brilliant solution, the other half it leads to me to the right answer through some javadoc digging

[worthy yarrow]

Plus they can just take "what your function does" and be like oh you gotta do it like this or this and it's pretty cool imo

I sent my towny addon to the head dev guy of towny advanced, and he liked it, put it through some ai thing and it gave me an a+ haha

[wet breach]

Javadocs are not hard to understand. The part that can't really be conveyed is how everything is implemented. Implementation of an API can be different even if the API itself is the same. IE, order of events are not necessarily guaranteed for example. So an event coming before another is sometimes just a coincedence and can't be relied that in the future to not change. Some of us here have been doing programming long before MC came around 😛

[worthy yarrow]

ie: when you don't know what you need, its hard to search for it,

[wet breach]

sometimes yeah

[worthy yarrow]

I also hate looking through docs for long periods of times

[wet breach]

As for the entities problem you can do what MD said, but I would still implement a method that checks on startup that they didn't stick around

this isn't a new problem

[twilit wharf]

well yeah, I meant something more like: I just found spigot 30s ago, how do I make a command?
it will take a while before you figure out how to even register the command, or how the syntax works and all that stuff

[wet breach]

if you don't know how to read the documentation sure

[twilit wharf]

even though the javadocs outline the actual methods and classes, it doesnt really help with the true implementation of it

[worthy yarrow]

Oh that's why I got stephans udemy course haha

just for the spigot basics pretty much... I should probably finish that course because there are still a lot of concepts I have to come back to

[twilit wharf]

I would have never found this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents() in the javadocs, but maybe I am just bad at looking through them

[wet breach]

Once you understand a language, IE java for example. Its not hard to read API documentation and it isn't all that more difficult to devle into the implementation yourself to see how it was implemented or not implemented

so someone who actually has been programming in Java for a long time, can indeed pick up something like spigot and code something within the first few minutes

without all that much difficulty because Java code isn't suddenly different

[worthy yarrow]

my exact process over the last 4 years

Though to be fair, I learned everything I know about java through minecraft framework / spigot api so

[wet breach]

that isn't a bad thing

[worthy yarrow]

And about 14 pages of java 8 bible

[wet breach]

what is bad and kind of annoying is those new to both come here pestering with a million questions

you should first attempt to learn it yourself and do the work yourself before coming here

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah like I said, I got the udemy course for that exact reason. Learn the damn basics and then you can start to learn by yourself

by yourself as in without guide from others

[worthy yarrow]

ie:

[wet breach]

I started programming by first learning web development, then I moved to VB and then it was onto C and C++

[twilit wharf]

thats the other hard part. its difficult to learn a programming language period. I get its not really that hard, but it takes a lot of hours, a lot of practice, and there is always something more to learn. it takes a pretty big amount of information to be able to even make something useful out of a programming language, and that for most people is too much effort. They would rather make something before understanding how its made. That is how I learned, I just didnt ask others questions I just googled until I understood it, or I just ignored it until I eventually leanred about it elsewhere

[wet breach]

and somewhere in there, Java as well

[quaint mantle]

Is js easy to learn

[worthy yarrow]

Well another large part of my learning java was also that when it came to spigot, pretty much everything you know from player experience can be related to the api

[twilit wharf]

js is a lot different than Java

just imagine like python, but Java syntax
