help-development

[quaint mantle]

yeah ik

[wet breach]

Yes, the difficulty I find it with it, is having a decent linter that can pick up when you do something wrong

[quaint mantle]

The syntax is kinda strange

[twilit wharf]

its like a hybrid

[worthy yarrow]

At least I feel semi confident with reading kotlin now haha

[twilit wharf]

it is very loose ig, like you dont need semicolons, but it is still "required"

[wet breach]

Javascript is probably easier to learn if you learn PHP first

[worthy yarrow]

took a gander at a couple projects and actually wasnt that bad

[quaint mantle]

php looks cursed

[twilit wharf]

a lot of people consider it outdated (for web development)

[wet breach]

well Java borrowed quite a bit from PHP

hence if you learn PHP its super quick to switch to Java 😛

[worthy yarrow]

Or just learn java

[wet breach]

only the younger people

its by far not outdated

[twilit wharf]

I just hear its not worth learning as JS mixed with a powerful framework like Vue, Next, or Svelte will get you miles ahead with 1/10 the effort. I am not sure though as I dont know PHP

[worthy yarrow]

I think it's good to explore other languages but I feel like you should put a solid amount of time into all of them (into actually learning the syntax)

[wet breach]

and my PHP server will still outperform any JS server you have

[twilit wharf]

its not just performance

[worthy yarrow]

I have never touched any other language than java, I only just recently started trying to read kotlin...

[wet breach]

in the web space it certainly is. The advantage of JS though is that you can use your customers systems instead of your own to do things. But Javascript isn't a great language for anything back end

[worthy yarrow]

To be fair I've wanted to start trying to mess around with python

its very commonly used in business context eh?

[wet breach]

However JS was originally intended to be used for front end, not back end or the kinds of things it currently does

[twilit wharf]

python is a really weird one

it is slow, bulky, easy to learn, but I havent seen many uses of it

although now a new compiler came out that makes it incredibly fast

[wet breach]

python is like Bash, its really easy to get something working and resolve things temporarily. Its really good in the number crunching space as well

[twilit wharf]

but from experience it is super slow, no?

[worthy yarrow]

Oh boy don't we love our algorithms

[wet breach]

no

it can be if you are trying to make it do everything

but it was never designed to like do everything XD

but what I like with python is the ability to combine it with something like Bash though

[worthy yarrow]

frost

[twilit wharf]

I did a prime number calc using python that went up to like 100,000, and it took like 15s on python, like 600ms on c++ (it was an algorithm I found online, probably not the most efficient), the difference was insane, and all that was different was the language

[worthy yarrow]

Can you give me notes on my economy manager class so far?

It's not big or anything

[wet breach]

this could be due to the fact that python doesn't inherently make use of native code automatically where as something like C++ can. IE make use of instruction sets for the CPU

python inherently not making use of native code isn't necessarily bad you just have to take care of that part yourself is all

[twilit wharf]

thats the whole interpreted vs compiled stuff, where C++ is machine code before being ran, whereas python is interepreted into machine code while being ran, right? praying I remember from my CS class

[wet breach]

Even Java is susceptible to this problem, however the developers do a pretty good job though in keeping up with that

[worthy yarrow]

or my towny addon perhaps? 😄 this one is actually finished (I think haha, could always add more)

[wet breach]

while interpreted can be a slight bit slower, not necessarily. It has to do with the language making use of instruction sets present in the CPU or to know to make use of them depending on what needs to be executed

[twilit wharf]

I can take a look at it

[wet breach]

native applications like C and C++ do this automatically and the compiler helps as well

python can be compiled, but it doesn't necessarily need to be compiled to run

[worthy yarrow]

I'm trying to make this little custom coins plugin or wtv

(p2w sorta functionality)

[wet breach]

I would switch to ConcurrentHashMap

and then re-design to allow this to be executed in multiple threads

[twilit wharf]

the readibility of your code could be improved, just the spacing and stuff

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah I think it was the formatter I put it through haha

[twilit wharf]

my brain is a little slow rn and line 3 & 4 caught me off gaurd

[wet breach]

an economy plugin is one of those plugins where the majority of it doesn't need to be locked to a single thread

especially when it comes to processing stuff

[worthy yarrow]

Well here's the thing

The function of this economy is to be implemented through console commands ie: buycraft functions

[wet breach]

even more so to allow multiple thread processing

[worthy yarrow]

Ok

That's good notes

[wet breach]

because you can handle multiple connections in this manner

regardless of the order they showed up

[worthy yarrow]

You wouldn't happen to have any examples of this implementation perhaps? I have never messed with threading haha

[wet breach]

and you shouldn't rely on console commands, most everything can be accomplished in the code and not even touch the console

[worthy yarrow]

This was more for simplicity / within my knowledge

[wet breach]

I do note, but its not super hard to get started with threading. My recommendation to learn threading is to learn how to use Runnables. Not the Bukkit ones, but Java runnables

there is decent tutorials out there that teaches how to make use of runnables in various ways including making your own threads

[worthy yarrow]

ok awesome

[wet breach]

from there, once you get the handle on how threads are created, accessed, and removed. Look into learning about workers

Worker Queues

[worthy yarrow]

An issue I see arising: getting which threads I need to get from exterior sources such as buycraft

[wet breach]

Worker Queues will teach you how to minimize the amount of threads you are creating to stay closer to what is needed in comparison to the workload

so you are not just spawning threads everywhere 😛

Threads are good, but too many of them is bad XD

[worthy yarrow]

I gotta put this in my notes real quick

if you have more

by all means

[wet breach]

you shouldn't need to worry about this, something outside should only worry about giving the information

and then your system worries about processing it

[worthy yarrow]

So do buycraft functions work by sending like a new thread request or something?

[wet breach]

no, buycraft works because it has its own plugin that listens for connections on a specific port

and then it sends its communication to said plugin

[worthy yarrow]

Oh right..

I just lookup buycraftx api tutorial on yt and get what I need

[wet breach]

the plugin then determines what to do with it, depending on what it got, whether that be to run a custom command or something else

You could make your own buycraft site fyi

The secret sauch to buycraft is paypals API

specifically its callback functions

[worthy yarrow]

Well I don't have any use for making my own buycraft site

This was just a project I was wanting to make

[wet breach]

handy when you don't want to pay rates for something that is free 😛

[worthy yarrow]

Something to perhaps keep for portfolio building ya know?

[wet breach]

maybe? idk

[worthy yarrow]

Just experience

[wet breach]

what helps with learning is to think about the problems and solutions differently then everyone else

for example, everyone assumes you have to do everything in the server when this is in fact not true

you could just spawn another java process entirely

this java process is now separate from whatever is going on in the server 🙂

almost like a thread, but has more advantages to it lol

also, Java allows you to hook into other languages too, and the command line

handy when you just need something like a simple bash script to execute XD

or python if that is what you fancy

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah of course the code isn't just limited to the bounds of the server, like I said I have just never gone beyond the main thread so to be fair I was not thinking about any process like that

Thank you by the way for all the notes I enjoyed that talk a lot!

[wet breach]

lol

you are one of the few that does

[zinc sundial]

HEy,

I need help with getting user ip, now

String playerAddress = event.getAddress().toString(); this return me the player address, so far everything good.

But the issue is that in Minecraft server it give me ipv4 but on the website it give me ipv6...

Now i need to get the user ipv6 from the Minecraft is that possible ?

[sullen marlin]

Your server isn't configured for ipv6

If you want ipv6 you need a AAAA record and an IPv6 address on your server

[zinc sundial]

Oh so if the server is on ipv4 it won't give ipv6

[sullen marlin]

Correct, that's how the internet works

What are you trying to do

[lament maple]

Hey im new to coding spigot plugins, does someone know why i get a null pointer execption error in the console?

Lobby (Main Class)
public static Location spawnLocation = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld("Lobby"), 18.491824023704698, 19.0, 49.47120706849732, 179, 1);

Other Class
player.teleport(Lobby.spawnLocation);

[sullen marlin]

You shouldn't be using a static variable, it's initialised at the wrong time

Also make sure that's actually your world name

[zinc sundial]

I see that make seems.

[lament maple]

What should i use then?

[sullen marlin]

Set it in onEnable and show the error if it's still an issue

[lament maple]

I cant send images sadly so i try to explain.

I put the code public static Location spawnLocation = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld("Lobby"), 18.491824023704698, 19.0, 49.47120706849732, 179, 1);
in on enable now, but now the public static is red marked

[upper hazel]

here are 2 swords with a sharpness enchantment and a fire spell

does sharpness 11 really increase damage by 4 units?

[dry hazel]

no, you need to leave the declaration in the class and only initialize it in onEnable

please learn java basics before attempting plugins

[lament maple]

sorry i dont get

[upper hazel]

what to do if the attributes of an item reset the base damage of the item when they appear

[dapper flower]

I have 3 listeners that operate on a single file, and sometimes what happens is that they do the operation at the same time and it corrupts the file, how do i fix this?

[shadow night]

by not operating on the same file at the same time

[dapper flower]

i need to operate to the same file, but how do i handle it in a way that doesn't corrupt the file, do i need to make a thread for writing and reading?

[shadow night]

you could make a seperate class that will, for example, query the operations and then handle them asyncrounously. I personally have never encountered such an issue, but you might find a solution by just thinking or googling

[dry hazel]

or simply have a lock somewhere and acquire it when you're about to write

[shadow night]

it sounds like a pretty common problem, so you could probably find this out yourself by googling

[dapper flower]

i did, but i can't wrap my head around how locks work

[hazy parrot]

Start operation -> lock -> another thread try to edit file, would not be able because it's locked -> operation finish from first thread -> release lock

[shadow night]

I wonder if you could use CompletableFutures for that

[dry hazel]

wat

[shadow night]

I've been obsessed with them for a while

[dry hazel]

a synchronized block might be easier to understand - anything in there runs only in one thread at a time as long as you lock on the same object

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/concurrency/locksync.html - chapter Synchronized statements

[dapper flower]

i put a synchronized(this) {} on the major functions but it still somehow happens

[dry hazel]

because you need to synchronize on the same object

this synchronizes on the current class instance, if you're doing it in two different classes and/or instances, it won't work

[dapper flower]

aw shit

[shadow night]

what was that nerd emoji for

[dry hazel]

emily hates me

[shadow night]

why

[dapper flower]

do i have to sync to the listener or the instance of the class if am trying to edit?

also i remember syncronized functions to be a thing

[dry hazel]

you have to have an object somewhere that you pass to both synchronized blocks, i.e. you put a new Object() into a field in the first listener and get it in the second listener as well

synchronized methods are basically just wrapping the contents of the method in a synchronized block and synchronizing on either the instance or the class type, depending on whether it's static or not

[dapper flower]

any object will do?

[dry hazel]

yea but you probably don't want to synchronize on random stuff

[dapper flower]

This is how my listeners and file looks like, all 3 of them use the furnacesFile, can't i lock into that instance?

 override fun onEnable() {
        furnacesFile = CSV(dataFolder, "furnaces.csv")
        if(!dataFolder.exists()) dataFolder.mkdirs()
        if(!furnacesFile.exists()) furnacesFile.createNewFile()

        filePermission(furnacesFile)

        server.pluginManager.registerEvents(PlayerOpensLavaFurnace(furnacesFile), this)
        server.pluginManager.registerEvents(LFurnaceBreakPlace(furnacesFile), this)
        server.pluginManager.registerEvents(CookingHandler(furnacesFile), this)
        addRecipe()
    }```

instead of creating a dummy object to lock on

[dry hazel]

yeah probably

[dapper flower]

that wasnt a fix rip

[quaint mantle]

hello, is there a template available for a website leaderboard for minecraft? i can't code so i'm hoping there's a template out there that i just missed

[upper hazel]

is it possible to create a plugin for fake online with bots
or does this require a bunch of clients?

or just tab

[gleaming grove]

Is It possible to make an entity visible only to selected players without using NMS???

[shadow night]

there was a hide and show method, let me bring up javadocs rq

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#hideEntity(org.bukkit.plugin.Plugin,org.bukkit.entity.Entity) must be this

for players (if you wanna hide/show them) there is also hidePlayer and showPlayer

[gleaming grove]

Thx, I was looking for such method in the Entity Class, that why I can't find it

[drowsy onyx]

Hey all, is it okay to post a question related to the minecraft protocol?

[tender shard]

yes

[shadow night]

sometimes people ask here even for help with other programming languages, so ofc it's okay

[ashen quest]

are there any testing frameworks for spigot plugins?

like JUnit

[dry hazel]

junit lol

• mockbukkit

[ashen quest]

mockbukkit is what i was looking for

[drowsy onyx]

Ok then here it is:
Hey all,

I am writing a 1.8.9 minecraft server from scratch in typescript. This server is for now very basic, it handles incoming packets from clients and replies to them.

Right now, when the server receives a login start packet, it directly replies with a Login Success packet containing a generated UUID and the player username. The buffer has the following format, taken from: https://wiki.vg/index.php?title=Protocol&oldid=7368#Login_Success

const uuid = uuid() // 875814ef-fd10-45fb-b244-aed0ba663094

[  16,                    x, ..., x, 
// └ UUID len (VarInt)    └ UUID     
    7,                        y, ..., y ]
//  └ Username len (VarInt)   └ Username

Unfortunately, the client keeps throwing a "DecoderException: The received encoded string buffer length is longer than maximum allowed (45 > 36).

I tried setting the uuid to something simple, like "1234123412341234" or "1234-1234-1234-1234" but this throws a DecoderException: readerIndex(27) + lenght(1) exceeds writerIndex(27)

Any help is appreciated 🙏

[quiet ice]

The UUID is most likely sent as two 64 bit integers

[drowsy onyx]

So a buffer of 16 bytes without the varint before that?

[shadow night]

64 bit integers? Isn't that a long

[quiet ice]

Well according to the documentation I'm wrong, but idk

[shadow night]

But yeah, the UUID is split into two longs/64 bit integers and that's how you usually transfer it

[chrome beacon]

Yeah uuids are two longs

[quiet ice]

Long isn't 64 bit in every programming language so I decided to use another term

[drowsy onyx]

ok but on v1.8.9 in the docs it says the UUID is a String, and in this particular case it is "separated by hyphens"...

just tried setting the uuid to a buffer of size 16 (equivalent to 2 64bits) and client throws DecoderException: readerIndex(26) + lenght(1) exceeds writerIndex(26)

[quiet ice]

Alternatively you could ask over at #[e-mail] they are more likely to know the answer

[drowsy onyx]

is that an actual email address or a discord channel 😄 ?

[quiet ice]

Though do be patient there are pretty much only three people that could answer

[quiet ice]

IRC channel

The discord before discord

Do be weary though: it can leak your ip address if you are paranoid about that

[drowsy onyx]

How do I communicate with an IRC channel lol? Not familiar at all with this

[sharp heart]

Hello, is it possible to auto update a plugin with request to spigotmc.org ?

[late sonnet]

i think exists libs for that maybe you can check the forums for that

[sharp heart]

ok

[vapid otter]

Hello. Why I can't cast class that extends Monster to Zombie?

[late sonnet]

you test that monster is a instance of zombie?

[vapid otter]

Yes, I am setting EntityClass.ZOMBIE

But if my custom mosnter class extends Monster it cannot be cast to Zombie

[late sonnet]

ohhh custom entity?
you have the error in console?

[vapid otter]

Yes, ClassCastException

[late sonnet]

and anyy more details?
i dont work with custom entities then not sure if maybe the issue is how you are creating that entityy... (and in what version)

[vapid otter]

My custom mob class that extends PathfinderMob: https://pastebin.com/UMfpKnNc

and when I trying to extends my custom mob class then spawn it

i'm getting error

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202327155284119595/1203651240664367104/image.png?ex=65d1de92&is=65bf6992&hm=e230d1d85486386ce73f8e59111734d63818bc6c1eb2780e1fb10dbe07d7fc8a&

So when JediMob extends Zombie class its working

but I need custom class with any type

[late sonnet]

well in NMS the zombie extends from EntityMonster...

but also you are running Purpur not sure if they make changes in that

[vapid otter]

Yes, EntityZombie extends EntityMonster

But cast is not working

I was trying to extend classes: Monster, Mob, PathfinderMob

[late sonnet]

i mean the only way you can cast to EntityZombie is if the class custom using is extend from EntityZombie.. the

[vapid otter]

Yes, that's problem

[late sonnet]

but PathfinderMob like in your code is another custom class?

[vapid otter]

No

This is NMS class

Is it possible to make custom mob class with changeable type?

[late sonnet]

nope

[icy beacon]

Is it fine to use a dotenv file in production to store data like database creds?

[late sonnet]

not totally sure but i think not...
based in NMS where when register class for entity all has the specific class... you cant change that...

[late sonnet]

depends... how can access to that file...

[icy beacon]

?

[late sonnet]

i mean you talk about a .env?

[icy beacon]

Yeah. I'm going to be deploying a REST API which needs to connect to a database etc, and I'm thinking of the best way to provide data like database creds. My first instinct was a .env file

[late sonnet]

yeah.. depend in the infra... like..
if yyou deploy in kubernetes you can use secrets for store that things and "hide" sensitive data...
if is like the old way... like only run the files.. the most simple way is a .env but you need make that file cannot be read by another users or can be get like in a exploit or something

[quaint mantle]

Hey, Im making an RPG, and I was just loking for opinions. I was wondering which data provider I should use, MongoDB or MySQL. I know both to a degree, well enough to use either really, and was just wondering which would be faster, or better performing in my case. Any advice/opinions are helpful! Thanks

[minor junco]

it depends on what data you'll use. Do you need relations and/or strict schema? Use a relational database. Do you need documents with loose schema? Use MongoDB

[slate crown]

hey guys! I need to make sure that when writing /signe - a sign with the text "HellO!" opens, can this be done via NMS/ProtocolLib or? I did it with the opening of the tablet, but the problem is that I still can't make the text

[agile hollow]

with location i have to store for get the position of the player in the middle of the block he's standing? i tried with xyz and pitch and yaw but it's moving me in the middle of the 4 blocks

[quaint mantle]

-0.5 on the x and z

[agile hollow]

thx

if i want to store like some arrays info how can i do? (maybe it's better with an sql)

[icy monolith]

Does anyone know how to reload a config?
I tried using: plugin.reloadConfig();
But when i change config and then reloading it, but it dosnt seem to update it

[quaint mantle]

alright thank you

[icy monolith]

anyone knows what am i missing to reload a config

[fathom jay]

Is there a way to use custom fonts in item lore just like in messages? (Where in messages you use BaseComponent[])

[fathom jay]

like in the example

[echo basalt]

Pretty sure that's still pending a pull request

Paper and NMS has it, spigot does not

(iirc)

[fathom jay]

hmm interesting

[fathom jay]

if u let me ask

[zealous osprey]

That's a neat font icon for damage.

[fathom jay]

should I try making it on Paper? (still learning Spigot + Java)

[fathom jay]

not rlly made by me, but thanks, im pretty sure the icon is free to the public too so if u want it

[river oracle]

Personally I'd just dip into nms for a bit I'd hopefully expect components to be merged by 1.21

[zealous osprey]

nah, I'm not "in the market" for that

[river oracle]

NMS isn't very hard to maintain with mojmaps

[fathom jay]

idk much abt NMS ill read the spigot wiki about it

[river oracle]

I can help you If you want

But you'll have to give me like 30 minutes to get out of bed and get up

[fathom jay]

no no, no need to worry ty for the availability tho

[river oracle]

Good place to start to get mojmaps is below

?nms

[undone axle]

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

[fathom jay]

but can I send you DMs in case i have some small questions?

[river oracle]

Just ping me here I'll be around

[fathom jay]

ok ok

[river oracle]

I also reccomend a multi module approach if you don't know how to do that I can help

[storm jungle]

what is the correct method for 1.20.4 minecraft version to correctly retrieve GUI name. Coding a plugin and i need to retrieve the correct name of a GUI so onInventoryClick can work correctly

[river oracle]

Don't use gui names use hashcodes or equals

@storm jungle read this thread https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-modern-approach-to-inventory-guis.594005/

Daily reminder there is an InventoryView#setTitle method your titles aren't safe and never will be

[slender elbow]

mfw players rename a chest in the anvil to "Vulcan AntiCheat"

[river oracle]

[quaint mantle]

LOL I remember seeing a video about that

this guy like disabled all checks for himself and started going wild on the server

[chrome beacon]

Yeah that's exactly why you don't use name checks for inventories

[shadow night]

why did mojang not add inventory uuids yet

[river oracle]

you don't need to

its inherently unneeded

also they would never add UUIDs to inventories regardless its like if I just added a UUID to my arraylist to identify it, that's stupid design

if anything had UUIDs its InventoryViews and actually they already do have a UUID technically that being the players who has it open

[tender shard]

did you store the config object in a field somewhere?

because if so you're still using the old config

[icy monolith]

Nop its taking the new one

[tender shard]

then what exactly is the issue

[icy beacon]

i was setting up a vps i've just bought and i was trying to make a new user, which i did, i gave the user sudo permissions and ssh'd into the server with the credentials of the user. i then edited sshd_config to do PermitRootLogin no and ran /etc/init.d/ssh restart - my terminal froze, so i attempted to reconnect and timed out. i restarted the server and now i'm receiving Connection failed: connection refused. No more addresses to try. by termius. firewall (ufw) is open on ssh (ufw open ssh) and i have not changed the port. any idea how this could be resolved and why this could have happened? i dont really wanna redo the whole setup again

[wet breach]

do they permit loading a rescue OS?

[icy beacon]

i don't think so, but i can login via RDP apparently, but I have no idea what that is and whether it will work since i've changed the root pwd

[wet breach]

RDP = remote desktop protocol

you can use VNC

[tender shard]

check if SSH is running with netstat -tulpen

[wet breach]

can't do that if they can't connect

[icy beacon]

i don't have access to the terminal

[tender shard]

did you not say that you have RDP or VNC or whatever

[gleaming grove]

I want to find Entity by ID Problem is that Bukkit.getServer().getEntity(uuid) takes UUID as input parameter but, Entity#getId() returns int. So how can I get UUID of an entity?

[wet breach]

they said they could connect via RDP

[icy beacon]

the email i got when purchasing the vps specified my creds for ssh and rdp

[wet breach]

and didn't know what that was

[tender shard]

getUniqueId()

[wet breach]

get VNC and connect via RDP

[icy beacon]

doing that rn

[gleaming grove]

... I'm blind

[wet breach]

should give you a console 🙂

[shadow night]

why do we even have getId in spigot

[wet breach]

can you force a reboot on the VPS?

[icy beacon]

i did already

i mean i can try again

[river oracle]

who is your provider ZBL?

[wet breach]

seems you didn't setup the firewall the way you thought

[icy beacon]

yeah most likelyy

[river oracle]

ik with hetzner you can VNC that shit no matter what you do through their website

[icy beacon]

if this won't work out im gonna have to redo the entire thing

thankfully i didn't do much yet

[wet breach]

there is not much you can do without the ability of loading a rescue OS

[icy beacon]

a certain russian hosting

[wet breach]

one of the things why I like OVH

[icy beacon]

actually they might have it

one sec

[tender shard]

which kind of weird hoster are you using that they don't give you a proper remote console nor a rescue os

[shadow night]

what is it called

[wet breach]

if they allow it, you need to mount some directories so you don't screw up permissions etc

[icy beacon]

have you perhaps heart of hosting-minecraft
they provide terrible fucking customer support but overall the hosting is high quality

[wet breach]

and then all you need to do is have ufw not run automatically

[shadow night]

ah, that sounds like the most average russian minecraft website

[icy beacon]

it's quite popular

[wet breach]

seems like a terrible provider

[icy beacon]

i've used it multiple times before specifically for a minecraft hosting

but now that i need a vps i headed to them again

ok they have some sort of rescue thing

trying to figure it out

[shadow night]

hmm, well it doesn't seem awful

just the average hosting provider

[tender shard]

so can you boot into a rescue system like grml or sth, or not?

[wet breach]

seems aweful to me

[wet breach]

have no idea what grml is

[icy beacon]

they have some sort of rescue system

but i have no idea what it implies

one sec

[wet breach]

as long as they can just boot to a live OS it doesn't really matter which

[tender shard]

one of many linux live systems for rescue and stuff

[tender shard]

then boot into it, mount your partition, chroot into it, start ssh and see why it fails

[wet breach]

that is dumb

only need to prevent it from running on start

so they can just use the normal system to log in

[icy beacon]

it is taking unhealthily long to reboot

[tender shard]

logging in without ssh is gonna be a bit complicated

[wet breach]

oh read it wrong

anyways, they should have ssh if they have rescue OS

but, its not the SSH failing though

the firewall is blocking their connections

[icy beacon]

two options:

1. "boot from drive" choose this option to boot your server from the drive next time it reboots
2. "boot in rescue mode (rescue iso)" choose this option to boot from a rescue iso mode next time it reboots
   i chose the second option and started the reboot now, and it's taking way too long to reboot idek why

it's been like 2 minutes

nvm it's rebooted

[wet breach]

it takes a bit of time to fetch the ISO

[icy beacon]

now how would i log into the terminal without ssh access

[wet breach]

you should technically have ssh, so try ssh and using your default login

if that doesn't work, use RDP

[icy beacon]

rdp times out, ssh fails with the same error "Connection failed: connection refused. No more addresses to try."

[wet breach]

then its probably not you

its most likely the host system or the ip address

ip address in that the network related things have suspended taking connections

[quaint mantle]

Why RDP for server?

[icy beacon]

wait they have a "vnc access" button which opens a very pixelated terminal in my browser

[river oracle]

you probably need to reset your server I'd highly suggest switching to a better european hosting provider like Hetzner or OVH

[wet breach]

because it gives you the live view of what it would look like if a physical screen was attached

[river oracle]

:|

[icy beacon]

yeah i will probably switch later

[wet breach]

can you see what it is even doing now?

[tender shard]

you don't even have to try hetzner if you only have a russian address though

[icy beacon]

yeah

[wet breach]

hmm, stuck on some weird screen

[icy beacon]

i'll reboot it once more

[wet breach]

guess they didn't bother testing their rescue ISO

to see if it actually does any rescuing

[icy beacon]

or i did something wrong

the hosting has a rather large userbase so i'd assume such large bugs would have been patched by now

[tender shard]

maybe you just banned yourself with fail2ban

[icy beacon]

that is a very real opportunity

i do not remember the try limit i've set but i must've exceeded it by now

it used to timeout but after a while it started to give me the "Connection failed: connection refused. No more addresses to try."

i've vnced into it again and now it seems to be booting up or smth?

ohi can run commands it just requires a password

1 sec

[wet breach]

well its russian

[icy beacon]

yeahh

[wet breach]

russian anything hasn't been decent since the late 90's

[icy beacon]

lmao

sadly i have to agree

this thingy does not respond to my keystrokes whatsoever

[quaint mantle]

Bros dont know linux security future

Its purposely dont show chars when auth

[tender shard]

i dont know any distro that hides the username

[dry hazel]

^^

[icy beacon]

it does not react to enter

i am not that stupid

[quaint mantle]

My bad

[icy beacon]

ok now it finally does i just had to press it like 15 times

yayyyy

ok i should probably disable fail2ban and ufw

[wet breach]

yes

[torn shuttle]

ayo 9minecraft took their shitty page down

[icy beacon]

"package fail2ban is not installed so not removed"

i smell cap

[torn shuttle]

gg no re

[icy beacon]

but it did remove ufw

[wet breach]

you didn't mount all the directories, don't try uninstalling it

just disable it from the services

[icy beacon]

how do i do that

oh

kk

it is telling me that the service is not loaded

[wet breach]

are you sure you are not looking at the services for the rescue OS?

[icy beacon]

i was thinking about that yes

what should i even do lol i've never booted into a rescue os before

[wet breach]

because typically to do anything with the OS that is installed you need to mount the partition

typically its either SDA or SDB that needs to be mounted

you will have to use the partition tool to figure that out

[icy beacon]

is it just mount /dev/sda?

[wet breach]

well if its a normal linux install, typically sda contains your boot partition related stuff

and sdb contains everything else

[icy beacon]

i mean the command

is it just that

[tender shard]

mount /path/to/disk /path/to/mount

[wet breach]

^

[icy beacon]

uhhhhhhhhh

[tender shard]

mkdir -p /mnt/whatever
mount /dev/mydisk /mnt/whatever

and not just sda but the partition

did you just use a normal ext4 partition or did you use LVM or anything?

[icy beacon]

i have no clue i was just provided with a fresh ubuntu installation

[wet breach]

odds are they used LVM

if they didn't touch anything during install

[tender shard]

enter vgscan

does it show anything

[icy beacon]

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, missing codepage or helper program, or other error when running

mkdir -p /mnt/attsda
mmount /dev/sda /mnt/attsda

[icy beacon]

1 sec

not found but can be installed with apt install lvm2

do i install and run again

[tender shard]

if they rescue system does not have vgscan, then they probably didnt setup lvm

[wet breach]

depends on the iso provided

[tender shard]

just do lsblk -f

[wet breach]

could be the iso just doesn't have lvm as it isn't technically necessary

[tender shard]

that should show you the filesystem and device name

[tender shard]

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/myfolder

[icy beacon]

oh i also tried with sda1 and it gave me superblock has unknown read-only compatible features (0x8) enabled

[icy beacon]

and then this error on the next line

i feel like in the time we've been troubleshooting this i could've redone the setup twice lmao

but i'm too invested into this now

[kind hatch]

I find it weird that the FSAVAIL says 0 on everything.

[tender shard]

which OS is that rescue system?

does it even support XFS? do you have xfs_repair available?

[icy beacon]

is not installed

[icy beacon]

1 sec

[tender shard]

if it's debian or similar, install xfsprogs

[icy beacon]

ubuntu 20.04

temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com' there's no way it has no access to the internet please

nvm

it's doing something

should i just reinstall the system

yeah imma

[wet breach]

weird they gave you an outdated live OS disk

[icy beacon]

this whole experience is weird lol

[wet breach]

the issue is that the the FS makes use of an updated kernel that the live OS does not have and isn't compatible with

[icy beacon]

probably a ufw misconfiguration after all, but i don't see how that could've happened, because after configuring ufw i was still able to connect

[wet breach]

well ufw doesn't terminate existing connections

but what most likely happened is your fail2ban clobbered you

[icy beacon]

i think it was a combination of fail2ban and ufw

i was getting timeouted for some time

and then i started getting errors immediately

[wet breach]

well when you set permitrootlogin to false, and if you didn't update the fail2ban settings

it auto bans anyone that attempts to log in with root

[icy beacon]

well that 'd be good to know 1 hour ago

xD

[wet breach]

well its common knowledge to whitelist one's self before implementing auto banning stuff

[tender shard]

XP having better support for network drives than windows 11

[icy beacon]

i mean i was not trying to log in with root for my first couple attempts

[wet breach]

windows 11 disables such things by default and you need to enable them

[icy beacon]

i had another sudoed user

and then i just tried root as a last resort

[wet breach]

and then blam

banned

[icy beacon]

so i had 2 problems not 1

xD

[tender shard]

why even bother with fail2ban, just diasble password auth and done

[icy beacon]

i wanted to do passkey auth but it was too hard for my smol bren to comprehend

[river oracle]

^^^ ssh keys are the best

[tender shard]

it's not like those SSH bots would be very dangerous anyway...

unless you use "admin" as user and "admin" as password, they won't get very far lol

[icy beacon]

lmao

[kind hatch]

They are just waiting to catch you lackin.

[wet breach]

at least now you know what not to do

[hasty oyster]

I'm trying to delete all signs that "pop off" when their attached block is removed, what event do I need to listen to? :)

[worthy yarrow]

Block break event id assume

[hasty oyster]

Called when a block is broken by a player. problem is I set it using code, so it's probably not the player's doing

[worthy yarrow]

What do you mean by attached block

[hasty oyster]

Sign is on stone, stone gets set to air, sign breaks

BlockDropItemEvent is also attached to a player

BlockPhysicsEvent maybe?

[worthy yarrow]

Mmmm it’s awesome you’re a docs reader❤️ if you read through it long enough you’ll find your answer, I have no clue of spigots methods that detect block events outside of player interaction

I’m sure if your patient enough as well, someone who actually knows spigot can get you that answer

Not that I don’t know it haha, I’m just self taught in java through 4 years on and off Minecraft framework so there are a couple ideas I have but nothing that doesn’t involve the requirement of player interaction, sorry!

[wet breach]

item spawn event

[hasty oyster]

Thanks!

Works great :)

[wet breach]

[worthy yarrow]

Like I said, someone who actually knows their stuff can help haha

I should just become a professional documentation researcher and put a solid 2k hours into spigot maybe then I’ll be useful D:

[eternal jasper]

hi who can help me pls

[dry hazel]

ask your question

[kind hatch]

?ask

[undone axle]

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

[hasty oyster]

This seems to stop the PlayerInteractEvent running, anything I can do to alleviate this?

[wet breach]

o.O

[eternal jasper]

i need help to start my spigot server pls

[wet breach]

you didn't mention anything about player interactions

[hasty oyster]

Tbh, I didn't realise they were linked

[kind hatch]

#help-server Server specific help is provided in that channel. This channel is for development.

[worthy yarrow]

Actually made the opposite claim D:

[hasty oyster]

So does it just stop that event firing, can I do something about it?

[wet breach]

yeah don't cancel the item spawn event?

you can just remove the entity without cancelling the event

[hasty oyster]

Oh I know why

I'm an idiot

Ignore me

[wet breach]

lol ok

[hasty oyster]

Thanks!

[worthy yarrow]

Happens to all of us man

[spare mason]

Is It possible to create a line between two locations?

[tender shard]

you could use particles, or this funny elder guardian beam

[spare mason]

Spigot support Elder guardián Beam?

[tender shard]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/laser-guardian-and-crystal-beams-1-9-1-20.348901/

[spare mason]

Guardián beams are heavy for performance?

[tender shard]

I dont know

The only alternative i know are normal particles

[kind hatch]

Just stretch some display entities over a really long distance. :kek:

[tender shard]

Oh yeah thatd ofc also work

[spare mason]

What is a display entity?

[river oracle]

An entity that displays things

New in 1.19.4+

[agile hollow]

if i stop the server the array list will be cleared right?

[tardy delta]

yes

[agile hollow]

and how can i store it in a like sql?

[spare mason]

The size can be adjusted?

[river oracle]

Ye

You can make it smol you can make it big you can even make it bigger

[spare mason]

Its time for a display entity with a stick

Entity interaction range is suported?

[kind hatch]

That's in the snapshots right now.

[worthy yarrow]

I was thinking about a magical items kinda plugin... something with like lucky trinkets that provide certain benefits, demonic wishing eyes, etc stuff for a magical sort of time period... got any suggestions for any more magical sort of items I could include in this?

[shadow night]

Armor

[worthy yarrow]

I was wanting to keep away from weapons so keep that in mind as well

[worthy yarrow]

I was thinking about armor but wasnt really sure where to go with it... how do I make armor magical??

[shadow night]

Maybe some kinda cultist armor or sum to buff damage from certain weapons

You could also make something similar to draconic evolution armor where you don't take damage until you have taken enough hits

[worthy yarrow]

Hmm maybe like classes of armor perhaps? (full set bonus system kinda thing?)

[shadow night]

Yeee

[zinc harness]

Hey @worthy yarrow can you help me ? I write a message in help-server

[worthy yarrow]

Hmm I like it, just seems like too appealing the pvp side of things, I was wanting to incorporate a lot of magical items that might benefit a player in an instance of not having forms of travel, or perhaps portable storages, etc... stuff thats like quality of life sorta thing

[shadow night]

Maybe you could also add a few bosses

To make armour more useful

[worthy yarrow]

What if I made an armor + bosses system that incorporates special "boss" sets that may provide real world pvp benefits or perhaps sets that help with certain bosses stuff like that? I think that would be pretty cool for armor / bosses

[shadow night]

yee

sounds like terraria

[worthy yarrow]

Maybe like "boss runes" applicable to pieces of gear that will apply special bonuses

[shadow night]

you could also use the already existing smithing templates for such things

[worthy yarrow]

That was kinda my thought for it if I were to implement these sorta things

[spare mason]

Sounds like a good idea

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah or maybe just a drag n drop system... just to support more versions without having to rewrite a lot of the code

[shadow night]

ye ig

[worthy yarrow]

Got any ideas for the quality of life factor perhaps?

[shadow night]

maybe some magic/enchantable food

[worthy yarrow]

I was thinking of a food system where it's like "bigger portions" when you eat lets say a 3 roll sushi platter... it splits into like 2 fish after eating the inital "portion"

Sort of like a portable cake kinda thing I guess you could say

[shadow night]

hm

[worthy yarrow]

Also this system would include custom recipes or whatever for these food items

[fallow gyro]

Hi. Just wondering, for the following code, would I need to run this asynchronously, or is all the networking handled on the client end?

Thanks!

[chrome beacon]

It should be handled on the client

[fallow gyro]

Alright, so just to be clear, I'm good to run this on the main thread? :)

[chrome beacon]

Yes

[wet breach]

well you would need to anyways since its an itemstack

[fallow gyro]

Oh am I not supposed to create item stacks in an async thread? The majority of my plugin is doing that since I'm usually querying a database simultaneously.

[wet breach]

well, not sure if it works now or not since updates. But typically when it comes to items or anything to do with the world you just don't do some things async or in another thread lol

server tends to not get happy with that

[wise mesa]

is there an event for when someone saves a structure with a structure block

[fallow gyro]

Ah yes, I've had that with the Inventory. Whenever I need to open one and display it to a player I have to do it in the main thread. Maybe item stacks don't require that anymore. Either way I'm glad they work async lol!

[worthy yarrow]

Given that they "work" doesn't mean you cant break them... make sure to test that a lot haha

[viral hazel]

 
EventtHandler
    public void onTrashInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent event) {
        Player player = (Player) event.getWhoClicked();
        Inventory clickedInventory = event.getClickedInventory();
        ItemStack clickedItem = event.getCurrentItem();

        if (clickedInventory != null && clickedInventory.getName().equals("Trash") && clickedItem != null) {
            if (clickedItem.getType() == Material.GRAY_STAINED_GLASS_PANE) {
                event.setCancelled(true); // Prevent the player from picking up Glass Pane from the trash
            }
            // You can add additional conditions for other item types you want to consider
        }
    }``` 

why getName(). are wrong?

[fallow gyro]

Hmm. I'm not really sure how I'd go about testing them, any advice there?. The only time I'm interacting with an item stack in an async thread is when the item doesn't yet exist in the world.

[worthy yarrow]

if (e.getView().getTitle().equals(ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + "MobCoin Shop")){

[worthy yarrow]

Oh boy... that is out of my skill range haha

I'm not sure how you'd "supposed" to manage itemstacks in that way

[fallow gyro]

Fair enough lol. The plugin will be tested on a server with around 15 members simultaneously using it so hopefully that will suffice prior to the 1.0 release.

[worthy yarrow]

Just have them trying their absolute best to break any and everything haha

[fallow gyro]

I'm sure they will lol

[wet breach]

aha, that is probably why it works async

makes sense now

[fallow gyro]

Ah I see what you mean, only when it exists in the world. Gotcha!

[worthy yarrow]

haha good thing frost is around

They are thread expert 😛

[fallow gyro]

Well I'm glad I got talking to the correct people lol

[worthy yarrow]

I try to help where I can... though its usually just proposals of how to implement logic since I am not the most experienced with spigot, also I hate reading through docs so

[fallow gyro]

Fair enough, everyone has their own role in a large project!

[worthy yarrow]

That's certainly the way I like to think of it

[fierce gale]

Does anyone have experience with Paypal IPN and SpigotMC?

[tender shard]

why do you need to check the name of your inventory anyway?

My Second Daily Reminder that InventoryView#setTitle exists and will fuck up your system. You're current system is open to exploits dupes and more

[dire saffron]

had hackers on my server and they uuid spoofed me. we run 1.20.2

this is what they said

[remote swallow]

do you use bungeecord

[river oracle]

I don't remember spigot fixing anything along these lines while I always reccomend updating it usually isn't for these reasons. This seems to be a BungeeCord vulnrability. Might be beneficial to create an issue on the BungeeCord issue tracker on github mentioning users are able to bypass bungee authentication. Granted without this client code it might be difficult to actually fix

[remote swallow]

iirc thats not a bungee issue

[river oracle]

it was idk how many years ago

[shadow night]

how would you even spoof the uuid

[river oracle]

idk if it was ever fixed

[eternal oxide]

If they are running Bungee online

[shadow night]

this is kinda confusing me

[remote swallow]

back end servers run offline mode, if you have the ports open to them they can join as who ever

[river oracle]

You used to beable to get around bungeecord and spoof your UUID since BungeeCord requires backend servers to be "online-mode: false" You can take any user you want

idk if this is still true

[remote swallow]

yeah it is

[echo basalt]

velocity be like

[shadow night]

aren't there like bungeeproxy things or something like that

[remote swallow]

spigot does say to secure your backend but people dont listen

[remote swallow]

bungeeguard

[eternal oxide]

not using localhost though

I'd guess their bungee is set to offline with some other authentication

[atomic swift]

what is ther best way to load a yml file in bungee/velocity

[echo basalt]

bungee has a config system for that

[atomic swift]

and what about velocity

[echo basalt]

no clue

worst case scenario use snakeyml

[dire saffron]

yes

[eternal oxide]

Bungee set to online?

[echo basalt]

seems like they have snakeyaml

[dire saffron]

yes

[eternal oxide]

odd indeed then

[remote swallow]

close the backend ports and use bungeecord

[eternal oxide]

be sure your servers are really running on localhost

[dire saffron]

https://i.imgur.com/ugmbSzR.png

[dire saffron]

We are

[shadow night]

isn't there a way to restrict it so only 127.0.0.1 can join the server

[eternal oxide]

there is no path between localhost and any external port

[remote swallow]

nothing was changed then

setup bungeeguard

[shadow night]

does that mean they are talking bs

[remote swallow]

yup

[shadow night]

btw, tf is a notchian client

[dire saffron]

bungee guard will fix all this?

[remote swallow]

bungeeguard will required a token that is only provided by bungeecord

[tender shard]

Vanilla

[wet breach]

don't allow players the ability to directly connect to the MC servers

[shadow night]

oh, why notchian tho

[dire saffron]

we dont

[wet breach]

you obviously do if someone uuid spoofed

can only uuid spoofed in offline mode

only way they could circumvent the online mode is by not connecting through the proxy

IE directly connecting to the MC servers

[dire saffron]

yes that what they do

they can brute force the bungee messge when joining direct

[remote swallow]

check that the ports are definately shut for backend servers, and i would advise setting bungeeguard up

[wet breach]

idk what you are talking about with brute forcing

I explained to you what it is going on whether you agree with it or not

[shadow night]

bruteforce what?

[dire saffron]

https://i.imgur.com/7h2Jf4B.png

[spare crypt]

I had a buddy that got spoofed. The MC servers showed that the connection was coming from 127.0.0.1, suggesting the hacker successfully spoofed to authenticate through Bungee itself.

[dire saffron]

they can get passed this messge

with there client

then uuid spoof you

[wet breach]

they didn't unless you allow offline players through the proxy

[slender elbow]

mfw firewall rules exist

[tender shard]

Not on aternos uwu

[spare crypt]

Proxy is in online mode. No access to MC servers. He changed his password too and they attacked again. So this conversation has some merit

[shadow night]

you can't even host bungee backend server on aternos

[tender shard]

Oh

[river oracle]

if it has some merit I'd make a bug report going through the steps to reproduce said error so it can be patched

[wet breach]

it doesn't, there currently exists no way to spoof uuid's unless you are in offline mode or you have a plugin that is allowing it

[river oracle]

otherwise it smells of poor configuration

[wet breach]

sorry but magical code is not a thing

[shadow night]

all code I write is magical

[river oracle]

if it exists such a security vulnrability shouldn't be discussed extensively here regardless it should be emailed with an in depth explanation of how it functions to the support email and patched asap

[eternal oxide]

Yep, only time I've ever seen someone get past Bungee was a mis configured setup. didn;t follow the "secure your system" after installing Bungee.

[spare crypt]

I don't know how they managed. That's the thing. All I'm saying is I've seen it before. Just not sure how to reproduce it in order direct anyone on what might need to be done to address it

[wet breach]

bungee doesn't change how the protocol works, if they can get past bungee and they didn't misconfigure anything, then this means they can get passed vanilla online mode mechanics

[river oracle]

ahh fair

I moreso mean if bungee has some bug that allows you to get past online config somehow that is something that should be addressed in depthg

[shadow night]

Hmm, well, it might be possible that bungeecord is fucking up something, who knows, do you never make a small mistake that you need months to discover?

[wet breach]

but bungee doesn't make changes to the protocol

how do you mess something up that you are not changing?

[shadow night]

In many ways

[wet breach]

and if bungee was messing up with online mode, sessions would mess up every so often

or something with the authenticating would mess up

[slender elbow]

the proxy takes care of authentication during the login process just as if it was the server, that process is completely transparent to the client, once that is done it'll forward some info to the server

the login process between the client and the proxy does not change

[wet breach]

Emily is correct, so I can't see how bungee would have some flaw that would allow someone to magically bypass

two, if such a thing exists, why is it that more people are not saying something or reporting this o.O

[eternal oxide]

I don;t see Bungee allowing a Client to Force it to take a certain UUID. Impossible

[slender elbow]

you can skip the login process by skipping the proxy (you'd need a modded client so it'll forward the spoofed info to the server, as if it was the proxy doing it)

[chrome beacon]

or just run your own Bungee

[slender elbow]

or that, yeah

[eternal oxide]

You can;t skip the proxy though, IF they truly are on LocalHost

[slender elbow]

I mean if your firewall is improperly set up...

[eternal oxide]

Localhost has no bindingsa at all the any public address

[river oracle]

my guess is this misconfigured firewall

[wet breach]

they were referring if the mc servers were listening on the loopback address

[slender elbow]

ah

[eternal oxide]

yep, they are definitely getting direct server access for it to happen

[spare mason]

there's a way to modify the time that the particles exist?

[eternal oxide]

no

[icy beacon]

i have finally reset the server, the configuration panel at this hosting is so buggy i couldn't switch off the rescue mode for hours lmao

[subtle folio]

when the server shuts down / in the onDisable event, is it possible to set a lot of blocks back to air or is it too late and would I need to instead set them back to air on startup?

[chrome beacon]

You could probably do it in onDisable

[subtle folio]

sweet

[chrome beacon]

but why do you need to remove a lot of blocks when the server shutdown?

[wet breach]

plugins can't disable logging

[subtle folio]

I am making a plugin that will remopve player placed blocks every so often

if the server restarts, i don't feel like storing and persisting what blocks were placed and what the countdown was paused at

[wet breach]

console output is not the same as logging

two different systems

cmarco gonna make a plugin about student loans and paying rent

I'm making inventory menus and I have a problem:
I have a custom kotlin DSL for my inventories, which creates an instance of my InventoryMenu class, which is then stored on the player (via a custom Data object I have). The problem is that every time an InventoryCloseEvent is fired, I set that the player's current inventory menu to null (because in my code handling inventory menus, InventoryClickEvents are cancelled when there's an active inventory menu, but I want players to be able to use their inventory when there's no inventory menu active). the thing is, in the DSL, I'll have an action to open a menu when another menu is already active (this is used for a submenu), which triggers InventoryCloseEvent, which sets the player's inventory menu to null, causing the inventory menu to not work. Is there a way I can supress the firing of InventoryCloseEvent when I open a menu?

edit: fixed by adding a kludge where it records if a submenu is open

[eternal oxide]

no

Hi this is the way I register new teams. TeamColor is just an enum with a chatcolor in it.

smallestTeam.addEntry(player.getUniqueId().toString());

And this how I add a player

But in-game the playername doesn't have a color

Not in the playerlist

not in chat

and not on his nametag

[eternal oxide]

you add players by name. Entities by Stringified UUID

[plain sequoia]

why?

[eternal oxide]

Because thats how Teams works

[plain sequoia]

where can I find that info?

[eternal oxide]

It probably isn;t documented. You just find it when you try to use Teams

[plain sequoia]

that's bs

welcome to Minecraft development

[young knoll]

Yeah scoreboards are weird

Blame Mojang tbh

[sand spire]

Is there a way to give an inventory/GUI some sort of UID so I don't need to use .getView().getTitle() to identify the GUI, and so renaming a chest won't work

[young knoll]

Use the inventory instance

[river oracle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-modern-approach-to-inventory-guis.594005/

[sand spire]

Yeah I searched in this discord for an answer and read through it but didn't find a solution for my problem, I probably missed it

[sand spire]

Thanks I will try

[river oracle]

the entire thing is the solution to your problem :P

[sand spire]

But it didn't have a method to give an UID to the inventory, so somehow it does that another way i guess

[remote swallow]

it just identifies it by the view or inventory iirc

[sand spire]

Then how does it prevent the renaming a chest exploit

[remote swallow]

because the inventory name doesnt matter

[sand spire]

huh

[orchid gazelle]

        TextDisplay display = player.getWorld().spawn(location, TextDisplay.class, pre -> {


        });

        display.setCustomName("\\uFFFD");
        display.setCustomNameVisible(true);```
any ideas on why this does not work?

oh wait

I forgot to load my resourcepack lol

[tender shard]

why are you using the consumer if you don't use it lol

[slender elbow]

why not use setText 🤔

[young knoll]

That is the correct way

[slender elbow]

how text displays are meant to be used

[orchid gazelle]

it is not done

[young knoll]

I don’t think the custom name ever shows

[orchid gazelle]

good point, imma retry

it still does not work lol

/: still nothing

[tender shard]

shoudnt you use only one backslash?

otherwise you set it to literal \uFFFD

but don't you want to use the char with that id?

[orchid gazelle]

yes I do

there is 0 resources on how to work with resourcepacks /: had to use chatgpt

still not working

[tender shard]

use one backslash only

[orchid gazelle]

well it is getting displayed, but not with the custom font

[river oracle]

to use fonts you need components

[orchid gazelle]

what?

[river oracle]

either A. Use Paper or B. dip into NMS

[tender shard]

/summon text_display ~ ~ ~ {text:'{"text":"\uFFFD","font":"myfont"}'}
does it show if you summon it like this?

[orchid gazelle]

"Invalid escape sequence \u"

and idk what "font": blablabla means

[young knoll]

You can replace stuff in the default font silly

[orchid gazelle]

it isn't like I defined any custom font

[river oracle]

why would you though

[young knoll]

You don’t need components

[river oracle]

custom fonts are great for this

[young knoll]

Why not?

[tender shard]

then do \\\

or two? idk

[young knoll]

There’s hundreds of reserved private use characters in Unicode you can use

[orchid gazelle]

does not work

still shows the ? unicode

[river oracle]

sure, but then you just pray they aren't already used

then you're texture pack is miconfigured

[orchid gazelle]

yeah idk how to properly configure it

[young knoll]

Used by who smh

[orchid gazelle]

ChatGPT told me to use the number representation of the unicode

[river oracle]

other plugin developers

[young knoll]

You think I let other people touch my server?

Blasphemy

[orchid gazelle]

so 65533

   "pack": {
     "pack_format": 18,
     "description": "s"
   },
   "font": {
    "providers": [
      {
        "type": "bitmap",
        "file": "font/65533.png"
      }
    ]
   }
}```

mcmeta

[young knoll]

Where’s the font file

[tender shard]

hm I know that at least for sounds, you must not use the file extension

[orchid gazelle]

\assets\minecraft\textures\font

[young knoll]

Yes but you didn’t

[orchid gazelle]

what?

[young knoll]

Change the actual font file

[orchid gazelle]

what font file

where

[young knoll]

assets/minecraft/fonts

[orchid gazelle]

that does not exist in my RP

I used some random template

also, my title background is grey smgh

there is no proper guide to make resourcepacks and no proper template

[tender shard]

at least there's a decent tool on spigotmc to merge resource packs

[young knoll]

There is most definitely a proper template

[orchid gazelle]

link?

[tender shard]

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Resource_pack actually this explains everything, doesn't it?

[young knoll]

https://mcasset.cloud/1.20.4/

Have the entire default resource pack

[young knoll]

Fandom wiki, destroy

[slender elbow]

minecraft.wiki supremacy

[young knoll]

If only google would get that message

[orchid gazelle]

not really, it does not show shit how to write one. just explains each tag

[orchid gazelle]

thanks

[young knoll]

Granted idk how to do fonts with the new system

Tis magic

[slender elbow]

Tutorials/Creating a resource pack

[tender shard]

can't you just upload a font file to chatgpt and ask it to turn it into a resource pack lol

[orchid gazelle]

now, HOW do I make changes to that font

[young knoll]

Idk google it

Or find a pack that does it

[orchid gazelle]

well but I already registered my shit in the pack mcmeta

[tender shard]

this is what chatgpt told me when I asked how to turn a ttf into a resource pack

[young knoll]

https://www.planetminecraft.com/texture-pack/minecraft-emojis-twemoji/

Try that one

[orchid gazelle]

where tf is minecraft:font/your_font_name/

[young knoll]

assets/minecraft/textures/font/your_font_name

Although you can put the image basically anywhere

[orchid gazelle]

great I did what alex sent

great nothing works

[young knoll]

Download the one I sent and look at how they do it

[orchid gazelle]

ty

great, still not working smh

I am way too stressed

this is annoying

[young knoll]

Did you put it as a custom font or in the default one

[orchid gazelle]

default

[young knoll]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Copy and paste the raw character in chat, see if it works

[orchid gazelle]

nothing

I guess imma just calm down for now and completely restructure my resourcepack properly tomorrow?

[young knoll]

It’s extra fun when you’re trying to generate resource packs via code

[orchid gazelle]

good that I don't need that for this plugin

[peak depot]

My Question is half Coding half Server help I got an custom texture pack where I have an Image for my Scoreboard Displayname but it wont load and only show the invalid char thing does it need to be specifc size for the scoreboard

[grand flint]

Does it show when you paste it in chat?

[peak depot]

no it didnt I found the solution it is that the image cant be bigger then 256px

[grand flint]

Yeah it can

[peak depot]

nah I tried it it all works but if it exceeds it 256px it wont work

[young knoll]

You’d have to use 2 characters

And some spacing

Nvm

[storm scaffold]

Is there a way to send a resource pack in a plugin as the player joins before loading in, like how server.properties now works with packs

[late sonnet]

maybe this https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#addResourcePack(java.util.UUID,java.lang.String,byte[],java.lang.String,boolean)

[storm scaffold]

That adds a resource pack, I'm asking how do I add a resource pack specifically as they're loading like how it works if you put a pack in server.properties

[young knoll]

Pretty sure adding it on join is basically the same

[obsidian plinth]

mb im dumb i never knew that was added

rthx

[storm scaffold]

No, if you put it in server.properties the pack loads up BEFORE you actually join, rather than after you've loaded into the world

[river oracle]

Be yourself!

[young knoll]

I swear I’ve always seen the packs load right after I join

You also get the prompt after joining if you have that enabled

[slender elbow]

i guess they're asking if there is anything exposed about the configuration phase

which, no

[storm scaffold]

Not in the newer versions

[slender elbow]

would love some intent system for delaying the configuration phase finishing

[river oracle]

Time to expose configuration phase oh nvm... that would require me to touch the spigot plugin loader nvm

[echo basalt]

noob

[slender elbow]

leader

[young knoll]

Ah right the config phase

Forgot about that

[river oracle]

Bruh I hate typing on my phone 😢

[young knoll]

No it wouldn’t?

[river oracle]

You need to start plugins earlier so yes

You would

[young knoll]

What

[river oracle]

Even before world

[young knoll]

Configuration phase is when players join

You spoon

[storm scaffold]

Isn't the config phase when the player joins

the bit where resource packs now load if in server.properties

[young knoll]

Yes

It goes login -> configuration -> play

[river oracle]

I could've sworn it was configuration -> world etc

Becusse I thoughts you couldn't access the server object

[storm scaffold]

I guess there's a configuration stage for the world too, but I'm talking about the player join processing stuff where you send resource packs

[young knoll]

That’s nothing to do with the connection phase

I don’t think there’s really a name for that

Registry phase I guess

[river oracle]

That's what I thoughts configuration phase was lo

[young knoll]

Smh do you even NMS bro

[river oracle]

Not outside of menus really

[slender elbow]

that's bootstrapping

[river oracle]

Ahhk that's why I was confused

[young knoll]

Bootstrapping, registry, Mojang being rude, whatever you want to call it

[river oracle]

Mojang being nice soon ?????

[young knoll]

Doubt it

They love their ice cold registries

[fluid river]

public class ShitListener : EventListener<PlayerShittedHimselfEvent> {

    public override void OnEvent(PlayerShittedHimselfEvent eventData) {
        Logger.GetLogger().Log("Haha funny" + eventData.GetPlayer().GetName());
    }

}```

i finally made it on unity

[storm scaffold]

me waiting for Mojang to stop adding random 1.21 stuff and release the regular 1.20.5 when the 1.20.5 arm reach is perfectly fine and I desperately want it for plugins

[young knoll]

Ew gross I can see the C# code style from here

[fluid river]

because it is

[young knoll]

Well your braces aren’t

But look at those disgusting upper case method names

[fluid river]

i just prefer it this way(as java)

[river oracle]

It's brcuase he has some braincells left

[young knoll]

Visual studio on its way to scream at you:

[river oracle]

Braces on the next line is pure brain dead behavior (sorry md)

[fluid river]

this shit finally works

and it can load events from mods

[young knoll]

I’m very sad there isn’t a gif of Brendon Urie kicking the door open on tenor

[fluid river]

thanks everyone who helped me with that shit

[next plume]

It's the correct way to write code. And if that bothers you, you need to reevaluate your priorities in life.

[river oracle]

Actually according to the java language conventions

[next plume]

And if that bothers you, you need to reevaluate your priorities in life.

[river oracle]

I'm currently reevaluating my life priorities and I have yet found something to change

Braces being on same line is still #1

[next plume]

I 'm paraphrasing here, but K&R said pick a style you like and stick with it.

[river oracle]

idk who this K&R guy is but he needs to re-evaluate his choice of words

[next plume]

They had a particular style that they liked, but realized it was advantageous for people to use the style they were most comfortable with.

[echo basalt]

google style

[river oracle]

yeah they need to grow up and do same line braces

[next plume]

So you're wrong to criticize other peoples' choices.

[echo basalt]

or die

[kind hatch]

I use a slightly modified google style. :p

[echo basalt]

wasn't microsoft style mega cursed

[young knoll]

It do feel a bit funky

[kind hatch]

Mostly changes around their god awful indention rules.

[river oracle]

actually I'm totally right. Especially if the choice was next line braces

I could maybe let it go if they just comitted a Felony or something, but this I could never

[echo basalt]

https://playbook.microsoft.com/code-with-engineering/code-reviews/recipes/java/

:OOOO THEY USE GOOGLE STYLE

[next plume]

Blocked.

😉

[river oracle]

@echo basalt Its confirmed I'm a better troll than CMarco

[next plume]

That's nothing to be proud of.

[river oracle]

true that's quite a low bar

Atleast Cmarco uses same line braces though 🤔

[echo basalt]

you're ass

[dawn valley]

cna anyone help me with my code?

i have an issue.

i tried to make a plugin that cancels drop event from stone , if /nocobble is toggled so when stone break nothing drops but it did not work

here is my code in spigotcraft channel

[echo basalt]

?paste

[undone axle]

Toss the code in here

[kind hatch]

Why in that channel? This is the development channel after all.

[echo basalt]

#spigotcraft

https://paste.md-5.net/uruqekasun.java ^

[kind hatch]

If you're trying to prevent drops from stone, then you should probably check against Material.STONE instead of Material.COBBLESTONE.

[echo basalt]

Potential issue: You're checking if the block type is cobblestone, not if the dropped item is

[dawn valley]

i cannot send links here

it does not allow me

[river oracle]

yes you can

[dawn valley]

ill try again
