[remote swallow]

you can break stone and get cobble

[dawn valley]

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

now ?

[kind hatch]

Refer to this

[dawn valley]

i used EntityDropItemEvent

[remote swallow]

no

[dawn valley]

getDrops methods does not work?

[dawn valley]

should this do it ? https://paste.md-5.net/axiyuveqol.java

[kind hatch]

Try it and see. (It should though)

[dawn valley]

that worked thx for the tip

i was confused i didnt know what i was doing wrong

[wintry lynx]

        itemsFile = new File(getDataFolder(), "items.yml");
        structureDataFile = new File(getDataFolder(), "structureData.yml");
        deathMessagesFile = new File(getDataFolder(), "deathMessages.yml");

        Map<File, String> paths = new HashMap<File, String>()
        {
            {
                put(itemsFile, "items");
                put(structureDataFile, "structureData");
                put(deathMessagesFile, "deathMessages");
            }
        };

        for (Map.Entry<File, String> configFile: paths.entrySet()) {
            //System.out.print("Item in Config " + configFile.getValue() + " Exist: " + configFile.getKey().exists());
            if (!configFile.getKey().exists()) {
                configFile.getKey().getParentFile().mkdirs();
                saveResource(configFile.getValue() + ".yml", false);
            }
        }

        items = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(itemsFile);
        structureData = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(structureDataFile);
        deathMessages = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(deathMessagesFile);
        items.save(itemsFile);
        deathMessages.save(deathMessagesFile);
        structureData.save(structureDataFile);
    }```
So anyone got any idea why these arent saving?

[lone aurora]

I am making a plugin for a friend, he wants it to prevent players from taking an item out of the offhand which he forces to be there. I was able to get it to block every action except the action of swapping the item from your offhand to the current inventory slot you are hovered over. (I want to be able to get the item that is swapped when you press the f (swap) key in a GUI)

[young knoll]

InventoryClickEvent

With action swap offhand

[slender elbow]

I swear I already answered that question in another server over an hour ago

[wintry lynx]

NVM... Im just braindead and forgot to change the path. :L

[slender elbow]

I must be deluded

[worldly ingot]

No, you're Emily, silly goose

[dawn valley]

try to modify your method signature to include the throws IOException declaration and wrap the file operations in a try-catch block to catch and log any potential exceptions.

[wintry lynx]

Yea I figured it out. It worked I just forgot to change the path I was trying to find. :L

Something so simple was driving me to insanity

[wintry lynx]

It also does send an exception but it sends it from outside the method when its called

my brain dying

[dawn valley]

maybe its better to handle exceptions within the method itself or propagate them up the call stack?

[wintry lynx]

Perhaps. But its unlikely they'll return an error. Ill edit it later.

This tho. This infuriates me. They are the same thing

[young knoll]

Are they tho

What is plugin declared as

[dawn valley]

try this exception handling: https://paste.md-5.net/codizilije.js

[wintry lynx]

Its declared as Main.getPlugin(Main.class)

so it should (If java is like every code language I know) BE THE SAME

[young knoll]

Okay but what is the type declared as

[worthy yarrow]

Man I don't know what to work on D:

[young knoll]

And thus it is not the same

If your main is called main you need to declare the variable as such

[wintry lynx]

interesting...

[worthy yarrow]

Alright so I've got some basic implementation so far. The goal of this one is to detect when a town is under an active siege, if so then it should change whatever permission that handles explosions in the town to false(to enable explosions in the town). When the siege ends, the permission gets changed back to true. I'm just not sure on how to actually change the permission...

 private static void disableExplosions(Location location) {
        TownBlock townBlock = TownyAPI.getInstance().getTownBlock(location);
        if (townBlock != null) {
            townBlock.getPermissions().set("explosion", false);
            
            townBlock.save();
        }
    }``` 
This was my initial thought, just a helper method to be called any time a town comes under an active siege... Though I'm not sure if I could just get the town from the active siege and check that way, then instead of a townblock just for each town found to be under an active siege set the flag that way

[eternal oxide]

you don;t want to change the TownBlock permission. Change it on the Town

If you change it on teh TownBlock it can be overridden by the Town

unless it's changed

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah I saw that as an issue as well, that was what I was going to do I just have no clue how to get / change the towns permissions

[eternal oxide]

There shoudl be TownBlock, Town and World permissions

[worthy yarrow]

This is like day 3 of trying to learn a bit of towny api so

[eternal oxide]

You should be able to get the Town from teh TownBlock, if not there is likely a helper method in the Universe

[worthy yarrow]

private static void disableExplosions(Location location) throws NotRegisteredException {
        TownBlock townBlock = TownyAPI.getInstance().getTownBlock(location);
        if (townBlock == null) return;
        if (!townBlock.hasTown()) return;
        Town town = townBlock.getTown();
        if (town.getPermissions().explosion){
            town.setExplosion(false);
        }
    }

    private static void enableExplosions(Location location) throws NotRegisteredException {
        TownBlock townBlock = TownyAPI.getInstance().getTownBlock(location);
        if (townBlock == null) return;
        if (!townBlock.hasTown()) return;
        Town town = townBlock.getTown();
        if (!town.getPermissions().explosion){
            town.setExplosion(true);
        }
    }```

How do we feel about this?

(forced to throw in order to get the town from the townblock)

[young knoll]

You could just not throw?

Have ya heard of try catch

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah but I'm just trying to get the damn permission functionality written first haha

I just wanted to know if I was going the right way with actually setting these permissions for the town

[young knoll]

I blame towny instead, checked exceptions are annoying

[eternal oxide]

It was written in a different era

[worthy yarrow]

Oh wait is it rather :

or
town.setExplosion(false);```

[young knoll]

Where’s towny 2 then smh

[river oracle]

I genuinelly wonder wtf this does

          public Pair<ResourceLocation, ResourceLocation> getNoItemIcon() {
                    return Pair.of(InventoryMenu.BLOCK_ATLAS, InventoryMenu.TEXTURE_EMPTY_SLOTS[enumitemslot.getIndex()]);
                }```

[eternal oxide]

setExplosion tru, if you want to enable them (I think)

[river oracle]

oh nvm I get it now

I wonder if I can abuse this

[young knoll]

Wha

[river oracle]

guess we will see

you know the little icons in like the enchantment table and stuff

[young knoll]

Why is the empty slot texture thing an array

[river oracle]

TEXTURE_EMPTY_SLOTS = new ResourceLocation[]{EMPTY_ARMOR_SLOT_BOOTS, EMPTY_ARMOR_SLOT_LEGGINGS, EMPTY_ARMOR_SLOT_CHESTPLATE, EMPTY_ARMOR_SLOT_HELMET};

[young knoll]

Ah wait it’s like the armor slots

Yeah I see

[river oracle]

SLOT_IDS = new EquipmentSlot[]{EquipmentSlot.HEAD, EquipmentSlot.CHEST, EquipmentSlot.LEGS, EquipmentSlot.FEET};

I'm going to push custom menu system to its max I wonder if this could ever work in the Bukkit API lol

[young knoll]

Im gonna guess

No

Since textures are client side

[river oracle]

you never know tbh

There are some weird slot gimicks that work server side

[worthy yarrow]

private static void disableExplosions(Location location){
        TownBlock townBlock = TownyAPI.getInstance().getTownBlock(location);
        if (townBlock == null) return;
        if (!townBlock.hasTown()) return;
        try {
            Town town = townBlock.getTown();
            if (town.getPermissions().explosion){
                town.getPermissions().explosion = false;
                town.setExplosion(false);
            }
        } catch (NotRegisteredException notRegisteredException){
            notRegisteredException.printStackTrace();
        }
    }```
hmm I'm not sure which one to use haha

[young knoll]

Well yeah a decent amount of inventory handling is server side

But textures just aren’t :p

[worldly ingot]

These likely do the same thing

You could always open the setExplosion() implementation and check

[river oracle]

I am going to try some cursed things!!! We will see if anything works

[eternal oxide]

setExplosion is in teh permissions, so thats where you want to be

[worthy yarrow]

I know, it's just late and was hoping for someone who knows towny could just give me the hotfix haha

Ok gotcha

thank you guys

[eternal oxide]

I wrote most of Towny, but it's been many years and other devs worked on it since

[young knoll]

Shame we don’t have anyone like that around :p

[eternal oxide]

There is also an Admin override level of permission but you best no tmess with those

[worthy yarrow]

I don't think it should be needed, this plugin is just for a siegewar fix i think... something about towny explosions not being enabled when a town is under an active siege

[eternal oxide]

definitely on the Town object then. It overrides TownBlock permissions

[worthy yarrow]

Gotcha thats good to know

[eternal oxide]

just remember what the settign was before you change it, so you can change it back after

[worthy yarrow]

Well I was going to have two helper methods for that, enable / disable

Just call them accordingly when a town has either just been put under active siege / when the siege ends

[young knoll]

What if it’s already enabled

It will be enabled again when war starts, and then disabled after

[eternal oxide]

Towny supports meta on teh TownBlock so you could store it's original setting there

and on Town

But its been far too long ago for me to remember using meta

[young knoll]

Could also just pdc the home block chunk

Oh wait you can change towny plot sizes to stuff other than 16x16

[worthy yarrow]

It's for a specific server so I was just writing this out for the functionality of their wars, ie: You may siege a town but the town doesnt actually become "actively sieged" until the battle session starts, by default unless a town is actively sieged, its explosions should be disabled.

[worthy yarrow]

Therefor there shouldn't ever be a case when a town's explosions are enabled before becoming an active siege zone

[eternal oxide]

Why not make a PR for the SiegeWars project?

Fix the plugin itself rather than hot fix

[worthy yarrow]

I have literally 0 experience with github and tbf already am in contact with Llmdl so just kinda lazy

[eternal oxide]

ah ok

[worthy yarrow]

I was gonna get it working first before I presented it to them haha

[worthy yarrow]

Also I have no clue if siegewar is broken or not could just be conflicts server wise

[eternal oxide]

Are you sure this server doesn;t simply have explosions disabled at teh world level?

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah, from the information given to me, it's all pointing to siegewar just not enabling town's explosions

https://github.com/pmdevita/CreeperHeal2

Hmm this one was also something that crossed my mind

[eternal oxide]

?

Towny has it's own regen

[worthy yarrow]

I don't remember if it was this one or not, but a plugin along these lines. Something that regenerated blocks after explosions

[worthy yarrow]

Hmm that could also be the issue, I know they have something like this installed that is not towny's

[eternal oxide]

This is mine https://github.com/ElgarL/Regen

[worthy yarrow]

Alright well thank you for all the help, I have to get some sleep haha it's been a solid 22 hour journey now

[eternal oxide]

For when he's wakes up https://github.com/TownyAdvanced/Towny/blob/ddfcf448e5d5e45d214536727087f5218cc2e2f0/Towny/src/main/java/com/palmergames/bukkit/towny/command/TownCommand.java#L1305

[worthy yarrow]

I decided to push to 24 hrs haha

@EventHandler
    public void onSiegeStart(SiegeWarStartEvent event){
       if (event.getTargetTown() == null) return;
       if (event.getTownOfSiegeStarter() == null) return;
       Town siegedTown = event.getTargetTown();
       if (SiegeWarBattleSessionUtil.getFormattedTimeUntilNextBattleSessionStarts().equals(String.valueOf(0))) {
           if (event.getTargetTown().getPermissions().explosion) {
               siegedTown.setExplosion(false);
           }
       }
    }

hmmm

I'm not sure how to detect when the battle session is currently happening... I think siegewarstart is when a town decides to go to war with another town right?

[icy beacon]

How do I find out my public IP to whitelist in fail2ban? Running curl -s https://icanhazip.com gives me one result, running dig +short myip.opendns.com resolver1.opendns.com gives another result, going to https://myip.com on windows gives me yet another result

So 3 methods and 3 different results

I'm sshing into the server with Termius if that matters

[cosmic loom]

when i want to create a new project it just stuck in closing project for a long time

how do i fix

[wet breach]

Just have it temp ban instead, so this way if you accidentally get clobbered you are good

I myself have like 3 connection points to the internet therefore something like this is typically not an issue for me

if my ip gets clobbered, I can just connect via the other two ways to undo it lmao

[icy beacon]

Ok that's fair, thx

[wet breach]

also you could just look at the open connections under the ssh and port

and you should see your ip

not sure why you didn't bother just looking to see what your server said XD

[icy beacon]

Fair enough lol

[wet breach]

just fyi I learned the hardway like yourself once before

but just like you I didn't really have much on the server so wasn't an issue

I misconfigured the firewall, forget what it was and it just denied all connections XD

normally I have a VM though where I test/setup stuff before applying it to the dedi

but I was being lazy

[icy beacon]

Yeah it's probably a good decision to test everything

[wet breach]

I keep a VM that is exactly setup the same as my production 😛

[icy beacon]

Well so far my setup has been going fine so I hope it will stay that way

[wet breach]

however, the difference though is that with OVH

I can use custom ISO's for rescues

they allow what is called IPMI

its a dedicated connection that is separate from the normal connection

and its for things like modifying bios stuff and uploading ISO's directly to the machine

[wet breach]

oh btw, knowing now it was your fail2ban

it wasn't necessary to start over

had we known that

you could have used a socks proxy for the ssh

[tribal zephyr]

I am facing this today too

I was working fine yesterday

[icy beacon]

It was also my firewall

I seemed to have blocked all connections

And tbh it was easier for me to restart. I barely had anything on the server

[wild roost]

guys, how do I change my plugin version? cuz when I put a compiled plugin in a plugin folder an start a server it gives an error

[quaint mantle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/plugin-yml/

[wild roost]

nope

[tardy delta]

it is 1.16, not 1.16.5 that doesnt exist

[wild roost]

oh

tu

skill issue seems to be

[quaint mantle]

The answer is right there

😭

[chrome beacon]

Yeah people don't read

[icy beacon]

Can I make gradle's starting point a non-class main function?

// scope of a file
fun main(args: Array<String>) {}

All I found was mainClass in application.

[umbral ridge]

hey

note a code related question, so you can see who played on a server by viewing world/playerdata folder right?

files in it

using nbtexplorer or something

arent there usernames in there?

only uuids?

[icy beacon]

1 sec i'll try my playerdata folder

[umbral ridge]

so i used to played w my friends on the server and now we cant remember which usernames we used to play on it

[icy beacon]

If your server is vanilla then not sure

[tender shard]

it's in the bukkit tag so I doubt vanilla stores it 😛

[icy beacon]

Yeah that's what i said xD

[icy beacon]

Alex do you have any idea?

You seem to have been invested in gradle lately

[tender shard]

gradle's? wdym?

you can only add an etry to MANIFEST.MF for the main-class and it will always have to be named "main"

[icy beacon]

Well like I run gradle run and I want the starting point to be this file-scope function

[icy beacon]

Uhhhhh

Sounds crappy

Surely there's a way to start from a non-class main fun

[tender shard]

ah for gradle run? No, that also only takes the main method iirc. you can ofc just write a custom task

but why don't you just name the method main

[icy beacon]

You say it takes the main method

Can I specify where to take that mmethod

There's this:

application {
  mainClass = "someclass"
}

The execution will start from the main method in that class

[tender shard]

do you want to have a different main class for gradle run and for the "general" one ?

[icy beacon]

I want to start an execution in a method that's outside of a class

[torn shuttle]

yoooo intellij's ai thing can now write commits for me

big pog so real

[icy beacon]

I'm not even sure if I need gradle run and not some other command. That's just what I assumed because of my shallow expertise in gradle

[tender shard]

tasks.register<JavaExec>("runAnotherMain") {
    main = "com.example.AnotherMainKt"
    classpath = sourceSets["main"].runtimeClasspath
}

[icy beacon]

I just want to compile and subsequently start my rest api

[icy beacon]

O

Let me try that rq

[tender shard]

AnotherMainKt = AnotherMain.kt, doesnt have to be a class but ofc needs a fun main(...) method

[icy beacon]

Works like a charm, thx 🙂

It's mainClass not main btw

[valid basin]

How to get inventory name on spigot 1.20

Because currently you can't

[tender shard]

oh ok

[icy beacon]

Probably getView then getTitle

[valid basin]

on inventory click event

[icy beacon]

If they didn't change it

But if you are trying to compare GUIs by names, then don't

[tender shard]

why do you need the inventory title in the first place

[lost matrix]

You are creating GUIs and checking their name, arent you

[valid basin]

It's an old code, I'm too lazy to create my custom GUI holder

[tender shard]

you dont need a custom gui holder

[lost matrix]

Custom GUI holders are even worse

[tender shard]

just store the inventory instance

[valid basin]

but I have to check it because I was using 1.8.8 and it was working fine. But now on 1.20 the method to get name doesn't exist anymore

[icy beacon]

If you are comparing GUIs by titles I can rename a chest in an anvil and then I have your cool GUI where you didn't intend it to be

Afaik there are more pitfalls than just this

[lost matrix]

Anyways. Get the InventoryView and call getOriginalTitle()

Yeah checking inventories by name or having a custom holder are pretty abysmal. One is unsafe the other can cause lag really fast.

[proud badge]

Is checking if a chunk has PDC on LeafDecayEvent gonna cause a log of performance issues?

[chrome beacon]

Should be fine

Assuming it's the chunk that the leaves are in

[icy beacon]

I'm dockerizing my api that works with a database, should the database and the api be 2 different containers or should (can they?) run in the same one?

[eternal night]

Two containers

[icy beacon]

Another question then, let's say I have two images, one that sets up my api and one that sets up the database, do I start them separately e.g. docker run -p 8080 --name api api and docker run -p 3306 --name db db, or is there some way of managing multiple containers?

[eternal night]

Check out docker compose

[icy beacon]

Will do

[proud badge]

will EntitySpawnEvent work for when an item frame is placed by a player?

ah wait I cant get the player who placed the item frame then, what should I do

[icy beacon]

Wouldn't BlockPlaceEvent be sufficient?

[proud badge]

well an item frame isnt a block

[icy beacon]

You place it though

[proud badge]

BlockPlaceEvent

[icy beacon]

I have an inkling feeling it'll get called but I'm not sure

If you could just try to see if it gets called that'd be awesome

I understand why you believe it won't

[native ruin]

Let's find out

[icy beacon]

^

[proud badge]

it doesnt

doesnt fire

[icy beacon]

Ah, bummer

thx

[elder harness]

Would it be possible to have some sort of localized item displayname and lore? The only thing I can think of is to run some sort of global tick system that adjusts all items in the game (of all inventories and dropped items)

Obviously that tick system would be incredibly inefficient

[chrome beacon]

you can just use a resource pack

with a language file

[elder harness]

How would that work?

[chrome beacon]

Minecraft has translatable chat components

[icy beacon]

I ran docker-compose build --no-cache on a docker-compose.yml with 3 services, but for some reason only 1 docker image is in docker images, is that supposed to happen?
docker-compose.yml: https://paste.md-5.net/uzawakuneg.cs

[chrome beacon]

I assume the Spigot PR for this is still being worked on but you can use NMS or the Paper API

[mellow edge]

Is it possible to change player nametag (above head) in 1.8 with teams, because I tried it and player's name was always white

To a different color

And text

[elder harness]

Well... guess I'll have to wait for it then

[grim hound]

How can I open the book signing gui for a player?

[chrome beacon]

I'm not sure if you can do that

I believe it's just handled client side

[south mason]

I am trying to use Protocollib in my project, but I ran into the problem that if I use api version 5.1.0, then this version does not work in minecraft, and if I use dev version 5.2.0, then I do not know how to get a link to the API

[icy beacon]

Adding to this: running docker-compose build accdb or docker-compose build backdb does nothing, but docker-compose build api builds and creates an image

It actually errors (?) but the errors are for some reason invalid strings:

time="2024-02-05T19:09:54+05:00" level=warning msg="The \"mC\" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string."
time="2024-02-05T19:09:54+05:00" level=warning msg="The \"j\" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string."
time="2024-02-05T19:09:54+05:00" level=warning msg="The \"mC\" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string."
time="2024-02-05T19:09:54+05:00" level=warning msg="The \"j\" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string."

Not an error but a warning*

[next plume]

Either <version>5.1.0</version> or <version>5.2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

[south mason]

thx i already fix)

[next plume]

Normally, you shouldn't have to change the version for using the API.

I still use 4.7.0

But ProtocolLib isn't working for me on 1.20.4

[chrome beacon]

Well 4.7 doesn't support 1.20 so that makes sense

[icy beacon]

Apparently these errors were caused by dollar signs in my passwords

[shadow night]

bruh

[icy beacon]

Yeah but kinda makes sense

[shadow night]

Sounds exploitable to me

[icy beacon]

Docker probably was trying to replace them with env variables

[shadow night]

But well, I don't think it's exploitable when it's your stuff nobody else will have access to

[icy beacon]

Exactly

[south mason]

    private ItemStack createBook() {

        ItemStack book = new ItemStack(Material.WRITABLE_BOOK);
        BookMeta meta = (BookMeta) book.getItemMeta();

        meta.addPage("Delete and write somethings");
        book.setItemMeta(meta);

        return book;
    }
}

I was trying to do something like this

[zealous osprey]

doesn't the player have a method called #openbook ?

[south mason]

only with written book

[zealous osprey]

Oh you want to use it as an input tool

[south mason]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#openBook(org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack)

[south mason]

yep

[next plume]

I know next to nothing about ProtocolLib, so don't ask me.

[south mason]

The book as an interface looks great

[zealous osprey]

Sorry, idk currently.
Btw, you shouldn't call your class "ProtocolLib" if that's the library you are using

[south mason]

kk)

[south mason]

i know, it`s only for test

[slender elbow]

no, it has to be a written book, the client will ignore it if it isn't

[south mason]

?

[slender elbow]

'?'?

it has to be a written book
the client will ignore it if it isn't

[south mason]

Is there no way to simulate clicking on a book?

[slender elbow]

no

[worldly ingot]

That writeable book UI is client-sided as far as I'm aware :p

You can ask them in chat to open the book. Prevent them doing anything else I guess

[river oracle]

Or take the forceful approach steal their items and put a book in their hand then force open ir with the API

Replace their items when they close it or disconnect

[worldly ingot]

Well that's kind of what I mean

Give them really no other option but to open the book

[south mason]

I don't need to receive data from the book in real time, I just need to simulate a click on the book and read the information only after signing

[worldly ingot]

I feel like you're just ignoring what we're saying

[slender elbow]

man

you cannot do that

[river oracle]

Maybe not native English??

[slender elbow]

it is not possible

[south mason]

kk

[river oracle]

That'd be my only guess

[south mason]

I understand everything, but it seems strange to me

[river oracle]

When this stuff happens you cry and say Mojank

[south mason]

🥲

[worldly ingot]

It might be strange but it's just one of those things the server isn't really capable of allowing the client to do. It's a client-sided UI that only sends its contents once it's edited

[river oracle]

fun fact you can put other items besides a book in a lectern inventory.

It's weird

Then it gives you that item when you press Take Book

[south mason]

i like mc)

good game

[icy beacon]

yes the dude is russian

do you need a middleman

[worldly ingot]

I'm actually surprised that that's the case

Chiseled bookshelves restrict it to books and enchanted books

[torn shuttle]

I take it back, they didn't learn shit

[ember estuary]

I’m doing a Job-Plugin where you get points for breaking specific blocks, for example as a woodcutter for breaking wood.

What is the best way to check if that block was naturally generated (so one cannot just place and mine the same block over and over to get infinite points)?

My idea:
Make a new MySQL table in which i store every block position of blocks that were placed by a player or dispenser. if a block is moved via piston i change the saved positions. if a block is broken i check if its in the list, if yes you get no points for breaking it and I remove the database entry.

is this the best way of doing it?
Or does anyone have a better idea?

[tender shard]

if you simply want to check which block was player-placed, I'd use PDC instead

?blockpdc

[undone axle]

Learn about CustomBlockData here:
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/custom-block-data-persistentdatacontainer-for-blocks.512422/

[quaint mantle]

@tribal zephyr but i don't know how to add the try and cath for that event

[tribal zephyr]

just send the player a message on join

you don't need try and catch

[ember estuary]

Sounds good, thanks!

[quaint mantle]

ok i got it

[slim gate]

How do I make a player wrapper class and an adapter for paper (for minimessage bundled inside and paper-plugin.yml and more stuff) and spigot and bungeecord in future

[quaint mantle]

but i removed the static and i added the player.sendmessage in event and player sendmessage worked but the gui didn't work

[ember estuary]

Does it work with pistons?
Like if i write data to a block, and then it’s moved via piston, will it still have the data?

[tender shard]

if you call CustomBlockData.registerListeners(yourPlugin), then yes

[ember estuary]

👍🏼

[quaint mantle]

and didn't get any error !

[chrome beacon]

Make an interface and then have two classes implementing it, one for each platform

[tribal zephyr]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[tribal zephyr]

Paste the code

[quaint mantle]

i removed the code wait

[tribal zephyr]

Oh wait I checked your previous code

use gui.open(player);

To open the GUI

[glacial narwhal]

Is there a way to use the warden sonic attack ?

[quaint mantle]

and is good method for antibot ?

[quaint mantle]

i don't know how to explain i mean for using antibot

[tribal zephyr]

public class Antibotevent implements Listener {
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event){
Player player = event.getPlayer();
Gui gui = new Gui(1,"Antibot");
ItemStack netherrack = new ItemStack(Material.NETHERRACK);
ItemMeta meta = netherrack.getItemMeta();
meta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.RED + "-");
netherrack.setItemMeta(meta);
GuiItem netherInGui = new GuiItem(netherrack , newevent -> {
newevent.setCancelled(true);
player.sendMessage("You Authorized !");
player.closeInventory();
});
gui.getFiller().fillBorder(netherInGui);
gui.setItem(1,netherInGui);
gui.open(player);

}

}

That should work if your code is correct

[river oracle]

hmmm I see a fatal flaw in this code 🤔 if you want to sotp bots wouldn't you want to kick them. Bots can click GUIs

[tribal zephyr]

💀

[river oracle]

also by joining the server they're already intrinsically causing some lag

[tribal zephyr]

I was about to say that

[river oracle]

Entities Tick Every Tick

which is wild

[quaint mantle]

no i will upgrade my code if i know is good method

[river oracle]

you might wanna add a timeout and hope no one with a dissability joins your server and gets kicked

[tribal zephyr]

lmao

[river oracle]

granted someone with a disability will click the buttons much slower than someone with a bot so 🤷‍♂️

[quaint mantle]

in the powerful servers isn't problem if bot join for 2 sec or much sec and player can fast enter because some famous servers in the my country uses this method but without gui and they have +200 players without problem

[river oracle]

that's wild your country must have shitty ass bots then

[quaint mantle]

Anti Bot easily bypassable ngl

[glacial narwhal]

Is there a way to use the warden sonic attack ?

[river oracle]

let's see

wdym by use ig

[quaint mantle]

good point their attackers are noob so isn't problem

[river oracle]

I've always been in favor of open source clearly I need to make some contributions

[quaint mantle]

Do captchas

In map

[tribal zephyr]

not if over 10000 bots join and start sending packets and do weird stuff

[quaint mantle]

is captha

Google java captcha libs

then use bukkit map api

[quaint mantle]

captcha isn't good because is like gui even maybe gui is better because in the captcha mode will bot join your server for 2 sec

[river oracle]

you can actually prevent full joins though

if they fail a captcha time them out for idk 10 or so seconds after x failed attempts

AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent iirc

[quaint mantle]

yeah but isn't any good method because usually servers have disconnector ( disconnect and player ) or have captcha or bungeecord auth

[river oracle]

should beable to kick them before an entity is even created

[tribal zephyr]

probably should not talk about that

unless we want to get a timeout /ban

[quaint mantle]

sorry i see you talked and i talked to he is maybe in my country

[glacial narwhal]

Is there a way to use the warden sonic attack ?

[quaint mantle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Warden.html#setDisturbanceLocation(org.bukkit.Location)

[quaint mantle]

i saw some servers uses /captcha but i saw they player has fully joined !

[tribal zephyr]

You are talking about nAntiBot

right?

[quaint mantle]

no

wait

[tribal zephyr]

Plugins like Jpremium have captcha

[quaint mantle]

you checked ?

[tribal zephyr]

nah I am too tired to turn on minecraft

[wide coyote]

the term you are looking for is limbo

almost every plugin runs their anti-bot checks (including captcha) in a limbo server

[tribal zephyr]

yeh

[quaint mantle]

but i saw captcha gui

[wide coyote]

send some screenshots, maybe?

explains nothing

[tribal zephyr]

I think you don't know how Antibot plugins work

[wide coyote]

the main thing you should focus is to send packets as less as you can

[quaint mantle]

no because i don't know how some servers that i send you they give access fully to join player

[wide coyote]

and I don't think gui worth the cpu power

[wide coyote]

wdym by " fully to join player"

we really need more information to help you

firstly, what are you trying to achieve?

[quaint mantle]

sorry for my bad english i mean "Full Join"

[quaint mantle]

i talk about this chat

[tribal zephyr]

Captcha is to verify if the player is real

[quaint mantle]

i know this but i told you what is problem

[wide coyote]

pleaseeee I beg you

answer my questions man

[tribal zephyr]

lol

[quaint mantle]

i mean captcha can't protect if the bot send some bad packet in 2 sec with 1000 bot

[wide coyote]

thats the point

[tribal zephyr]

PaperMC left the chat

[wide coyote]

captcha is made in another server

or at least the packets doesn't affect the server

[tribal zephyr]

Most packet exploits have been fixed in Paper

[quaint mantle]

i can't use it sorry they are blocked country xD

[wide coyote]

and for a while now (on the newest version of minecraft), there isn't much "bad packets"

[quaint mantle]

like spigot fourm is blocked because paypal and very websites blocked :/

[wide coyote]

where are you from?

[quaint mantle]

iran , check usa sanctions

[wide coyote]

why can't you use paper?

[quaint mantle]

blocked *

[wide coyote]

yeah but why

paypal is also blocked in turkey but we can use papermc lol

[quaint mantle]

but turkey has defferent , turkey isn't blocked by United states of America and Europe

[wide coyote]

ah I thought Iran government blocked papermc for a second

[shadow night]

wtf

[wide coyote]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/nanolimbo-1-7-1-20.86198/

you can run this (or something similar) on your proxy

connect the players to limbo server and do your thing there

[tiny prairie]

Anyone got tips on how to use plugins to create prison cells for a prison server? I've tried a skyblock approach with bentobox, worldguard and luckperms, but doesnt seem to work as the skyblock islands (cells in my case) get generated in different places each time. Therefore its difficult to set permissions for newly generated cells.

[wide coyote]

I think he is talking about making one for his server

not about using one

[quaint mantle]

i don't want use other plugins because i want learn and training for making a plugin with some api

[tribal zephyr]

ohh

you decided to start with coding a antibot

[quaint mantle]

yeah i am looking for testing for write a new thing !

with new method that anybody don't using if possible

[wide coyote]

😅

protection plugins should be the last thing you make

or even think to make

[tribal zephyr]

yep

[wide coyote]

community, responsibilities, updates etc

everything is a problem

[quaint mantle]

yeah one of my friend write it ( sorry i cant share screenshot from his plugin ) and i want rewrite their plugin

[quaint mantle]

and i saw he used gui api

and was good antibot because we tested !

[tribal zephyr]

rewrite?

[quaint mantle]

yeah i don't know how to explain for you but yeah "rewrite"!

[tribal zephyr]

well, try to understand how antibot plugins function. You can do this by reading the code of how other people do it

Checkout 2LS Antibot on github

[wide coyote]

or maybe Sonar, its for velocity but can help you understand

[tribal zephyr]

it really comes down to his knowledge about minecraft & spigot & bungeecord

[quaint mantle]

i saw this api but i don't know is really blocked packet's or not

[tribal zephyr]

Don't worry about packets

[quaint mantle]

yeah i can't work with them i tried to understand them but network developing like packet between client and server in advanced mode is really hard

[quaint mantle]

so can i write without packet ?

and i use vulcan and i saw some times blocked bad packet

[warm pine]

Vulcan is a anticheat

And there is a difference between Bad packets and crash packets

[quaint mantle]

i know is anticheat but i saw have plus options for some features

[tender shard]

is there a working checkstyle gradle plugin for kotlin?

[zealous scroll]

is there a way to get an inventory in the server by nms container id? currently trying to get the inventory a window click packet is manipulating

[chrome beacon]

If the server can from the packet

then so can you

[worthy yarrow]

public class EndSiegeEvent implements Listener {

    @EventHandler
    public void siegeEndEvent(SiegeEndEvent event){
        Town town = event.getSiege().getTown();
        if (town.getPermissions().explosion){
            town.setExplosion(false);
            town.save();
        }
    }
}```
```java
public class SiegeStartEvent implements Listener {

    @EventHandler
    public void battleStartSession(BattleSessionStartedEvent event){
        for (Town siegedTown : SiegeWarAPI.getActivelySiegedTowns()) {
            if (!siegedTown.getPermissions().explosion){
                siegedTown.setExplosion(true);
                siegedTown.save();
            }
        }
    }
}```

Does this look alright to disable / enable town's explosion permissions on siege start / end?

[lost matrix]

Only through nms

[lost matrix]

1. Rename your listeners to FooListener instead of FooEvent.
2. explosion is a public field. Make it private. (And i would not create fields for permissions, use an Enum and a Map/Set instead)
3. I hope save() doesnt actually save the town to a file or DB (or at least does it async)
4. The conditional check in your battleStartSession is a bit redundant. I would simply set all towns to true

Btw. Why do you save towns on each change?

[worthy yarrow]

Well because I thought I'd have to "update" the permission if you will

Also ehm this isn't a custom permission... this is already written into towny, I just had to grab it / change it

[worthy yarrow]

This was just supposed to be a hot fix too... some reason siegewar wasnt automatically letting towns be blown up when they are sieged & battle session is started

[quaint mantle]

Best anticheat?

I would never attempt to make my own, bc i dont understand minecraft mechanics all that well to know how to catch everything

spigot needs to be built with buildtools

spigot-api = publicly available
spigot = build it yourself

do you really need spigot instead of spigot-api?

uh no

then use spigot-api instead of spigot

ok I fixed it

[dapper meadow]

Hey guys, I have a quick question, so I have a plugin about clans and I'm trying to add placeholders (papi). (I am a new/young developer and am really new in this). How can I do this? Thank you :)

[tender shard]

hi, are you using maven or gradle?

[dapper meadow]

Maven

[tender shard]

alrighty, first of all add the dependency to your pom with <scope>provided

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Hook-into-PlaceholderAPI#import-with-maven

and then: do you want to create a custom placeholder like %yourplugin_something%, or do you want your plugin to be able to parse other plugin's placeholders?

[dapper meadow]

I'd like to create a custom placeholder (%<pluginname>_clan_current%)

[grim hound]

what does this mean?

[tender shard]

ok then you basically only have to create a class that extends PlaceholderExpansion, and implements the default methods: https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/PlaceholderExpansion#with-a-plugin-internal-class

(and then call register() on your instance of your PLaceholderExpansion class)

[dapper meadow]

FinnInvite is the name btw, since I'm making it for someone called "Finn"

[kind hatch]

?codeblock

[undone axle]

You can use the discord code block format to display code or just text in a more pleasing way:
```java
public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
@Override
public void onEnable() {

}

}```
Becomes:

public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {

    }
}```

[dapper meadow]

public class YourPlaceholderExpansion extends PlaceholderExpansion {

    private final Plugin plugin;

    public YourPlaceholderExpansion(Plugin plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }

    @Override
    public String getIdentifier() {
        return "FinnInvite";
    }

    @Override
    public String getAuthor() {
        return "__J3LT3_";
    }

    @Override
    public String getVersion() {
        return "1.6";
    }

    @Override
    public boolean canRegister() {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean persist() {
        return true;
    }
}```

"FinnInvite" is the pluginname since I'm making it specificly for his server and the owners' name is "Finn"

[thick tundra]

Helloo, I'm currently working on a custom entities plugin. but i want to do a distance check, from the player to each entity. This could possibly be 1000+ entities. I want to really optimize this project, so im figuring out what methods to optimize. I have heard that Vector.distance is relatively slow, what method could i use to save some calculation power?

[sullen marlin]

distanceSquared

[thick tundra]

thanks! is there any diffrence between the output?

[tender shard]

Its squared

Instead of checking distance < 10, you check if distanceSquared < 10*10

[river oracle]

pretty sure you can do some bit shifting operatins etc to make distanceSquared even faster

just ask the guys who made.. hmmm. what was it again? Doom or Quake

one of those

[tender shard]

I once ran JMH on distance and distanceSquared and it was almost the same tbh

[sullen marlin]

Lol no

[tender shard]

But that might depend on CPU

[sullen marlin]

Doubt, square root is definitely an order of magnitude slower

[tender shard]

I posted the results here somewhere months ago

Let me try to find them

[tribal quarry]

I remember it was an inverse square root, not square root

[river oracle]

ahh that was it

wrong thing

[tender shard]

https://github.com/mfnalex/Bench-DistanceSquared/tree/main

Benchmark                         Mode  Cnt     Score    Error  Units
DistanceTest.testDistance         avgt   25  1645,770 ±  4,010  ns/op
DistanceTest.testDistanceSquared  avgt   25  1635,375 ± 11,381  ns/op

ok granted it doesnt use bukkit's distance() method

yeah there's a great video on youtube that explains this inverse square root thingy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8u_k2LIZyo

[slender elbow]

that code contains UB :3

[thick tundra]

hmm interesting, will have to test both methods out and see the actual performance on my server once done.

[tender shard]

just use distanceSquared

its definitely faster on older CPUs

[thick tundra]

okayy will do, thanks!

[worldly ingot]

I mean not only is it faster, you're just avoiding a square root operation that you genuinely do not need lol

[sage patio]

I have a memory leak problem on my server that creates millions of Location instances and causes a huge memory leak, the only way to detect is to disable the plugins one by one? I mean, if I disable a plugin the data stored in the memory by that plugin will be deleted?

[worldly ingot]

Use the square root if you're display it to a player. Never any other time

[thick tundra]

depends on the way of disabling the plugins

[thick tundra]

thanks!

[sage patio]

using plugin managers like PlugManX

[slender elbow]

you could take a heap dump and track it down probs

[sullen marlin]

Just restart your server?

[sage patio]

well the memory leak happens too fast

like in 2 hours

[thick tundra]

a heapdump does not take 2 hours tho

[worldly ingot]

lol. The ultimate move. Memory leak? Just restart before your server crashes 😎

[sage patio]

before that GC goes crazy with 12gb ram and paniks

a lot of lag

[quaint mantle]

What tool is that

[sage patio]

Spark

[quiet ice]

could be anything that reads a .hprof file really

[sage patio]

its a plugin

well i didn't got my answer yet

if i disable a plugin using plugman, the data in the memory is gonna be cleared or not

[quiet ice]

Due to how classloading works - it is impossible for it to get cleared unless you nuke all references beforehand

[tender shard]

can't you just create a heapdump and check where those locations come from?

[sage patio]

how?

i know how to create a heapdump but i don't know how to check where they came from

[tribal quarry]

create heapdump using spark, jmap or any tool, then just analyze the references, there are lots of apps to do this, especially eclipse memory thing

[quiet ice]

While I think the classes may get nuked when the classloader gets nuked, I have never tested this hypothesis and thus wasn't able to attest the truthfulness of the statement

[quiet ice]

Eclipse MAT (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.mat)

[sullen marlin]

that's not really true. Unless a (still enabled) dependant plugin has kept a huge reference or you've messed with NMS then it'll go away just fine

[teal venture]

Does the Vault API work for everyone else? Ive been trying to figure out why when I add the dependencies its not working for me? Please tag reply

[quiet ice]

Yeah I was a bit unaware that the classloader can get GC'd too

[sullen marlin]

I'm sure the vault api works for thousands of people

what specifically is the issue

?nocode

[undone axle]

It’s hard to answer a programming question without code
Oh no! You ran into a problem. But no worries, people are willing to help, but first they need to see your code. This is because otherwise, they would be providing help based on guesses instead of concrete knowledge. Whether it be a compile error, runtime error, or an unexpected output, I'm sure that if you were to provide code, you'd receive a quick solution.

[worldly ingot]

The pom.xml/build.gradle specifically

[quiet ice]

90% of all cases it is either one of the two:

• Didn't obtain the economy lazily or didn't register the economy early enough
• Didn't install an economy appropriate

[teal venture]

Actually I think It might be all imports with dependencies maybe I have settings wrong

[worldly ingot]

Dependency resolution failure, not runtime error :p

[tender shard]

in visualVM for example, you can see a list of all references to a given object

[slender elbow]

big words

[teal venture]

So it works if i add the jar to my file but not if i just use dependencies

[worldly ingot]

code no go zoom 2 your computer

[quiet ice]

I just read "Vault" and responded with the boilerplate response that applies to most issues that I've encountered on Vault's issue tracker since they are all near identical with each other

[worldly ingot]

You still haven't sent the pom.xml or build.gradle file lol

[slender elbow]

Well since noone is scolding you for running 1.15.2 in the year of 2024: WHY???

[sage patio]

very nice, thank you

[tender shard]

someone asked me today to add support for 1.15.2 to one of my plugins 🥲

after they bought it while it clearly said "1.16+"

[quiet ice]

That is very much akin to people asking me to support Java 5 in my projects

[tender shard]

yeah that message is totally fine. it's supposed to look like that!!

my favorite class in bukkit is SuspiciousStewMeta

Mine is ChatPaginator because nobody knows it exists

Kind of irrelevant in age of components, but still handy 🙂

[tender shard]

i think I've seen it once

also Conversation API 🥲

nobody uses it

[worldly ingot]

Honestly? The conversation API was such a weird add by the Bukkit team

It's one of those things that should have just been a plugin

[tender shard]

i find it handy lol

[river oracle]

What is conversation api

[young knoll]

Api for asking players for text input in chat

[river oracle]

Oh

Why is that a bukkit api feature lol

y2k what did you mean with "more java friendly api" btw

[sage patio]

2 questions about this thing

is it free?
also for sure the servers are running on a dedicated server and i can't download the whole 12GB of heapdump, can i run it on the server too and see this stuff in a webpage or something? (ubuntu)

[tender shard]

ughm idk about viewing it in a browser or anything. and yeah VisualVM is free

[sage patio]

thanks

[tender shard]

could probably use x11 forwarding to run it on the server but view it at home

[sage patio]

well wish there is a tutorial for that

[quiet ice]

there probably is, X11 is decently ancient enough for that

[sage patio]

lol, great then

[quiet ice]

but I have never done it myself - I just happen to know that that is a thing

[tender shard]

it should be quite easy

here, I asked chatgpt https://chat.openai.com/share/03789e01-1fe6-4131-bdfa-949dd548170e

[sage patio]

well this is the same thing which the ssh applications do right?

like bitvise or termius

i guess i can do this too

[quiet ice]

I don't know actually - but I'd hazard a guess that that is not the case. Although X11 forwarding is a feature of the SSH protocol (well, SSH by itself can do anything and everything)

Context: I am writing a buildsystem in the style of maven (or gradle, I haven't made my mind up yet how the buildscript will look like)

I might have asked this question once before, but what do you think a good system looks like to transfer a collection of files between tasks?
Ideally "virtual" files should be supported, which means that at first glance I should avoid java.io.File and java.nio.file.Path - however is this actually a valid concern considering that you can just register your own filesystem under nio?
The other concern is whether I should use a different model for task inputs and outputs. As of now I use the same "SourceSet" approach, but I feel like that makes little sense - on the other hand I cannot think of anything else. This "SourceSet" approach basically has a bunch of logical file providers that can in turn provide a bunch of logical files. However, I feel as if that approach breaks apart once duplicate files come into play (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF comes to mind here) and allowing for duplicate files to be returned would cause a lot of headache at first glance.
The other concern is whether the task inputs and outputs should be named - I feel like yes but that would make initialization a bit harder.

I suppose I could copy the way gradle deals with this, but I have little experience with that system as I never quite understood it and just sneakingly bypassed it when developing my own tasks. So I am a bit torn on this matter

Having an issue with creeperheal(2) not detecting explosions by cannons plugin, creeperheal(2) is written in kotlin so I'm not sure how to fix that... would anyone know of a way to go about this issue?
I've been reading through creeperheal2 a bit and it's looking like

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGH)
    fun onBlockExplodeEvent(event: BlockExplodeEvent) {
//        plugin.debugLogger("A block explosion has happened! ${event.block.toString()}")
        if (plugin.settings.types.allowExplosionBlock(/*event.block.blockData.material*/)) {
            if (event.block.location.world?.let { plugin.settings.worldList.allowWorld(it.name) } == true) {
                this.plugin.createNewExplosion(event.blockList())
            }
        }
    }```
this the only thing handling block explode event
https://github.com/pmdevita/CreeperHeal2/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/net/pdevita/creeperheal2/core/ExplosionManager.kt
this is the explosions manager class as well... It sucks I don't know kotlin haha

https://github.com/DerPavlov/Cannons/tree/master/src/main/java/at/pavlov/cannons/event

this would be the event package for cannons, specifically talking about the projectileImpactEvent

I'm thinking the issue could be that cannons is using custom "projectiles" for cannonballs so perhaps that is why creeperheal2 won't detect the explosions? Please ping me if you have any ideas

[peak depot]

how to check if a map with name x allready exists without acctually loading it

[young knoll]

Like a world?

[hollow beacon]

any public api that serves images of minecraft blocks

so

/api/grass_block would return an image of a grass block

[worldly ingot]

The only one I can really think of is https://mcasset.cloud but I don't think it's really an "api" so to speak

I don't know if you can access its textures programmatically

https://assets.mcasset.cloud/1.20.4/assets/minecraft/textures/block/amethyst_block.png as an example would get you the amethyst block texture, but again, I don't know if you need to be logged in or something

Or how fast it will be. It downloads the textures from Mojang

I would personally opt to download texture assets from Mojang and store them locally to browse instead. This is probably the safest legal way to do it anyways

[hollow beacon]

i did find this however : https://minecraftitemids.com/item/64/respawn_anchor.png

[worldly ingot]

I would still exercise caution pulling textures and assets from a third party website 😅

[young knoll]

I believe mcasset.cloud uses some GitHub api

Without being logged in you get 60 requests per something

60 per hour, lol

[kindred solar]

Guys, I am building a plugin and I wanted that plugin to consume an API(with Post and Get requests) and I made some stuff successfully but it is being really hard to mantain that endpoint calls, I am using okhttp3, I don't know if it is the best way, if you know any best way tell me, but could you please tell me if there is any straight way to do this? I went through a lot of github repos but couldn't find anything.

(I build myself that API)

[remote swallow]

javalin is decent

[kindred solar]

Is it good for minecraft plugins? I am asking this because ChatGPT told me that get and post requests in minecraft can be hard to manage due to the way that a minecraft plugin runs.

[remote swallow]

iirc it runs everything async so it should be fine

[kindred solar]

Sorry about this but last question, I need to know this, for example, when a user joins I am making a get request to get their roles and permissions, am I able to say someway on the plugin "the user will wait until we get the data" or someway to handle that kind of stuff cuz I dont wanna ruin players experience neither server performance.

[tender shard]

does anyone know how to even "enable" an extension in vscode?

I downloaded the json extension and it just doesnt appear in the sidebar

[young knoll]

Make blocking calls in AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent

[kindred solar]

json extension?

[remote swallow]

that sounds like the stuff that should probably be stored in a db with just sql queries over doing a rest api call, but if you have to call it from the async pre login event and you should be quick enough

[young knoll]

You can block in the pre login event for up to 30 seconds

[kindred solar]

thank you both that was the answer I needed

[remote swallow]

thats fun

im going to make them wait 29 seconds then transfer to hypixel

[tender shard]

seems like extensions only work in "trusted" windows or sth

can I somehow tell it to allow certain extensions in all windows without having to "trust" it all the time?

[kindred solar]

whats the purpose of it? If its just make the json file prettier I recommend "prettier"

[river oracle]

Vsc should have json support by default

[tender shard]

with extension

without

[kindred solar]

did you restarted the vscode?

[river oracle]

Why tf is it not pretified

[tender shard]

wdym? as you see, the extension works, but I don't want to have to go to settings and "trust this window" every time I open a random file

[remote swallow]

file > preferences > settings > security > trust something change to new window

or one of them i think

[tender shard]

I don't want it to trust all things automatically, Ijust want to allow this extension for untrusted files/windows

[worthy yarrow]

Was this the correct place to ask about this?

[remote swallow]

no clue then

[kindred solar]

I dont think vscode allows to do that because of security stuff

[tender shard]

hm how annoying...

guess I'll stick to XCode then

[kindred solar]

I am not 100% sure just making a kinda of a guess

[river oracle]

That generally isn't normal

Seems like a shit plugin

[tender shard]

hm it was the best rated one in the list

[kindred solar]

I mean, you have it selected... Plus it says on the top to open a json file

[remote swallow]

prittier is prob better

[river oracle]

Why are you using vscode tho

[orchid gazelle]

wtf is this

[remote swallow]

i can spell that corretly

[river oracle]

Use notepad++ or brackets

[orchid gazelle]

this is supposed to work

[remote swallow]

n++ is prob better

there was a plugin for formatting json

1 line to multiple

[kindred solar]

prettier?

[remote swallow]

yes

[wintry lynx]

I gotta question for texture and data pack nerds.
Is there any NBT that I can use in a Spawner block to give it a custom texture?

[remote swallow]

if your on 1.19.4 or higher use an inflated item display with custom model data prob

[wintry lynx]

Perhaps...

[tender shard]

idk what else to use to just view json files

anyway I got it to work by editing a settings.json manually (wtf)

[orchid gazelle]

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

[kindred solar]

np++?

but I mean, I read json files in vscode but I dont use any extension but prettier to do so, I just prettify the file and read it manually

[tender shard]

windows-only

[tender shard]

hm how does one prettify it without extensions?

ah shift+alt+f

yeah I guess that works too, thx

well yeah, i was looking for the default keybind cuz I binded my vscode to the jetbrains keys but glad u got it

I tried to log it and it is correctly formated but I just dont want the "<" neither the ">"

[kindred solar]

probs this wasnt the best thing to do due to the number of api calls but was the only quick solution to it (accepting suggestions)

[remote swallow]

you shouldnt need to apply the plugin if its in the plugins section

if anything its because of the afterEvaluate

[rare rover]

Yeah I did that cuz it wasn't working

[rare rover]

And I also tried it without that and it didnt work 😭😭

[remote swallow]

is this mutli module

[tender shard]

did you remove the block completely, or did you just move the publication part out of afterEvaluate? Why is it inside that anyway?

[rare rover]

Cuz I seen a forum of them doing it like that, and I removed it completely

[rare rover]

No just 1 module

[tender shard]

publishing {
    publications {
        create<MavenPublication>("maven") {
            from(components["java"])
        }

}

just do it like this

without afterEvaluate

[violet delta]

[river oracle]

IMHO its better than maven with intellij

[river oracle]

No iirc

[tender shard]

Or is java 8 the lowest possible?

I think 8 is lowest

[quaint mantle]

how would i get a mapcanvas tho

[river oracle]

MapMeta iirc

Otherwise its likely a bukkit methond

[tender shard]

extend MapRenderer

it has a method render(...)

there you get an instance of MapCanvas

then you add the renderer to your map with MapMeta#addRenderer

[tender shard]

well what's your goal

[quaint mantle]

i wanna draw an image on a map

[tender shard]

and you don't know whether that image is already existing as file or sth?

[quaint mantle]

its stored in a var

[tender shard]

what type does it have?

[quaint mantle]

Image img = ...

[tender shard]

You don't create a MapCanvas yourself, you just use the one that gets passed to your MapRenderer instance

[tender shard]

change 1.7 to 1.8

in both things

you can also set it to 17 if you don't need to support MC 1.17 and older

@young knoll since you're around now I figured I'd ping you I committed to actually finishing it this time https://paste.md-5.net/ixosiwefuj.java

        if (slot != null && slot.hasItem()) {
            ItemStack itemstack1 = slot.getItem();

            itemstack = itemstack1.copy();
            if (i == 2) {
                if (!this.moveItemStackTo(itemstack1, 3, 39, true)) {
                    return ItemStack.EMPTY;
                }

                slot.onQuickCraft(itemstack1, itemstack);
                this.playTradeSound();
            } else if (i != 0 && i != 1) {

excerpt from ContainerMerchant

[kind hatch]

Ngl, still can't tell what that does, even with that context. lol

[young knoll]

I think it controls what slot an item goes into when you shift click

[kind hatch]

Wouldn't that just be the next available one if not already matching an existing item?

[river oracle]

that's quickMoveStack

[young knoll]

For most inventories yes

You just showed quick move stack

Isn’t that what we are talking about

[river oracle]

nah we're talking about onQuickCraft

        int var2 = var1.getCount() - var0.getCount();
        if (var2 > 0) {
            this.onQuickCraft(var1, var2);
        }```

this is the default implementation

[young knoll]

Ah

[river oracle]

than an implementation from ResultSlot

    protected void onQuickCraft(ItemStack var0, int var1) {
        this.removeCount += var1;
        this.checkTakeAchievements(var0);
    }

[young knoll]

I think when you villager trade it can automatically refill the trade slots with items

So probably that

[river oracle]

I think it can be used on any crafting Menu

considering SlotResult inherits and uses it

[young knoll]

Ah wait wait

Is it the recipe book quick craft option?

[river oracle]

Probably if I had to guess

[young knoll]

Also smh I don’t see quickMoveStack in your api

[river oracle]

quickMoveStack is a container API not slot

that was just SlotBehavior

MenuBehavior is next

[river oracle]

@young knoll do you think this impl would work with CraftItemStack I'm not exactly sure how these things work still lol

    @Override
    public void onTake(final Player player, final ItemStack item) {
        final CraftItemStack craftStack = CraftItemStack.asCraftMirror(item);
        if (behavior.onTake(player.getBukkitEntity(), craftStack)) {
            super.onTake(player, CraftItemStack.asNMSCopy(craftStack));
        }
    }```

[young knoll]

Hmm?

[river oracle]

I mean CraftItemStack is mutable right?

ig that's all I'm asking

[young knoll]

Yes

The mirror will automagically mirror all changes to the NMS stack

[river oracle]

okay really?

[young knoll]

Yes

[river oracle]

so then I don't need to asNMSCopy at the end

nice

guys, how do I compile a plugin at the intelij? I just transferred my project data to my other computer, I downloaded a MC development plugin for intelij, and then opened my project from the folder. So, not it says "the file in the editor is not runnable" .

btw, I can't create a new Minecraft project

[kind hatch]

Depends on what you use to compile.

You use maven? gradle? artifacts?

[wild roost]

maven

[kind hatch]

Use the maven controls on the right hand side of IntelliJ to compile.

package is what you'll want to use to get the jar file.

Probably some other things too

[wintry lynx]

OHHHHHH

[young knoll]

“Damage caused when an entity contacts a block such as a Cactus, Dripstone (Stalagmite) or Berry Bush.”

Yay javadocs

[wintry lynx]

:I

[wintry lynx]

So I cant find a way to decern the difference between these. Since its a Type I cant really check the origin. So I cant check if Cactus caused it, berry bush, etc

[young knoll]

EntityDamageByBlockEvent

Includes the block

[wintry lynx]

Oh neat. Didnt even know that was a method

Im guessing that also includes magma blocks

Which is weird cuz for some reason they arent counted as contact damage

[young knoll]

I think they have their own type

Hot floor or something

[wintry lynx]

Yea but it gets called in block damage

[young knoll]

Yes

It’s a block

[wintry lynx]

And technically they are both block damages so I was just saying it seems pointless to make two types

[young knoll]

Damage type has nothing to do with what event is called

It’s based off the internal damage types

[wintry lynx]

Yea I know

[young knoll]

Which control the death message among other things

[wintry lynx]

Im saying It seems pointless to have hot floor if contact damage exists since the hot floor is a contact damage in itself

[young knoll]

Yes but it’s a different damage type according to Mojang

And has a different death message

[wintry lynx]

So do cactus and berry bushes but their called the same type. Guess its just mojang being weird

[young knoll]

I thought they had the same message

[wintry lynx]

Nope, stalactites have their own too

Or stalagmites

And hot floor is pretty much a mix of cactus and stalagmite damage.

[young knoll]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wintry lynx]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[young knoll]

Don’t think we have the damage PR merged yet

[wintry lynx]

Would that change that?

[young knoll]

Maybe?

[wintry lynx]

I guess you wouldnt know off the top of your head lol

ignore me asking

[young knoll]

I checked

It does

[wintry lynx]

Oh noice

[worthy star]

what is the best way to store custom data for players, like vaults & levels system

[drowsy helm]

ideally a database

[wraith dragon]

Is it a good idea to have a class named Pos to store jusr x y z yaw pitch values instead of location?

[drowsy helm]

just use a Vector

[spring stag]

What event would I use for right clicking to activate?

[drowsy helm]

if you want it irrespective of world

PlayerInteractEvent

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInteractEvent.html#getAction()

[worthy star]

no for like using them on a scoreboard or smth

[drowsy helm]

what

like in memory?

[worthy star]

yes

[drowsy helm]

a variable..?

idk what you're asking, it doesnt make sense

[agile anvil]

Save the data as PDC (persistent data container), it will be automatically saved by the server. https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/persistence/PersistentDataContainer.html

The you can get the data from it and display on a scoreboard.

Attention: It's server side. It won't work if you have multiple servers -> Then you would need to use a database instead of PDC

[worthy star]

ight thanks

[spring stag]

How would I get the x/y/z of where the player is looking at?

[agile anvil]

Do you mean the composants of the Direction Vector ?

Get the Location of the player then Location#getDirection

[spring stag]

I'm trying to create an event that teleports the player where they are looking at

Would that be the best way of going about that?
