[echo basalt]

fixed it with unsafe :3

[eternal oxide]

that IS nms

[frail sluice]

Can I read it

[tender shard]

are you on 1.16 or older or sth? o0

[eternal oxide]

stay away from NMS unless there is no alternative

[echo basalt]

mm I love abstracting reflections

[frail sluice]

because of this: ```java
@Override
public EntityVillager getHandle() {
return (EntityVillager) entity;
}

@Override
public void remove() {
getHandle().releaseAllPois(); // <-

super.remove();

}

[eternal oxide]

only in nms

[young knoll]

Smh where is the SNBT support

[tender shard]

brb

[tender shard]

there it is

[young knoll]

Does it work

[tender shard]

idk - how does one of those snbt strings look like?

[young knoll]

Uhh

Something like {CustomModelData:1}

Actually the item one might be with the item name

[inner mulch]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[young knoll]

minecraft:diamond{CustomModelData:1}

[inner mulch]

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

Im not even casting anything??

[tender shard]

are you shading that class from another plugin / dependency or sth?

[inner mulch]

yes

[tender shard]

yep works

[young knoll]

Woo

I hate the essentials give command cuz it fucks that up

[tender shard]

well that's the issue. You told javac that it'll get your shaded version of the class but in reality it's a class from another classloader.

You either must not access the other class, or not shade it into this plugin

[inner mulch]

wait, i dont really understand, do i have it twice?

[rough ibex]

the inner machinations of java

[tender shard]

You are accessing the class from another plugin I guess. But you also have it in your plugin shaded.

Your plugin now thinks it gets the class that's included in your plugin, but in reality it gets passed the class from the other plugin that just happens to have the same name, same methods, etc

[inner mulch]

oh

[topaz cape]

can i add the dependancies thing in the plugin.yml of bungeecord (if yes is there a link of how those stuff work?)

what?

no

[inner mulch]

oh

you need to add dependencies in the pom.xml

[topaz cape]

you can add dependencies in modern spigot versions in your plugin.yml for the server to download on runtime

[tender shard]

you mean libraries

[topaz cape]

im asking if that’s available on bungee as well

yes libs

[young knoll]

Yeah I don’t think bungee has a library loader

Afaik

[tender shard]

it does have this in PluginDescription

[young knoll]

Hm

[tender shard]

https://github.com/SpigotMC/BungeeCord/blob/master/api/src/main/java/net/md_5/bungee/api/plugin/LibraryLoader.java

yep should work

[topaz cape]

generally speaking, is it better if i write my own if i need to add Velocity support at somepoint?

[tender shard]

your own library loader?

[topaz cape]

yes

[tender shard]

no

rather use an existing library for it

e.g. https://github.com/Byteflux/libby

[topaz cape]

how does this handle the server if offline

[sand spire]

Should I load necessary playerdata from config with PlayerJoinEvent or PlayerLoginEvent

[topaz cape]

does it just use old ones?

[tender shard]

i'm pretty sure that it caches it and will never attempt to redownload it

however idk, read their readme i guess

[topaz cape]

aight tysm this sounds awesome ngl

[tender shard]

I load data in PlayerLoginEvent async, then I cache it for up to a minute, if the player hasn't joined until then I unload it again

[sand spire]

Thank you

[frail sluice]

How can I view deobfuscated function names? I am reading it in intellij and it's all like 1 or 2 characters

[tender shard]

did you setup mojang maps?

[frail sluice]

meaning?

I installed NMS with buildtools

[tender shard]

are you using maven?

[frail sluice]

gradle

[tender shard]

ok first of all you gotta change your dependency from org.spigotmc:spigot:1.20.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT to org.spigotmc:spigot:1.20.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT:remapped-mojang

did you run buildtools with the --remapped flag?

if not do it before changing your dependency

and then use this gradle plugin https://github.com/patrick-choe/mojang-spigot-remapper

[frail sluice]

what does this do exactly

[frail sluice]

yes

[remote swallow]

do you have mavenLocal() in repositories

[tender shard]

if you're using mojang maps, your compiled code tries to access the proper method names. that plugin will take your compiled .jar and changes the method calls etc back to the obfuscated names

otherwise your plugin won't work

[frail sluice]

I see, thank you

btw, is it possible to see the actual implementation of methods?

[sand spire]

uhh, I made my getConfig method async with the code below, but CompletableFuture has to return void i think. This worked with making my save method async but now I need something to return

public CompletableFuture<Void> getConfigAsync() {
        return CompletableFuture.runAsync(this::getConfig);
    }```

[remote swallow]

there is multiple

a runnable version and a supplier version

[young knoll]

supplyAsync

[remote swallow]

use supplyAsync to return a value

get shit on coll

[young knoll]

My message is first on my screen

So

[tender shard]

usually you want to do sth like this

public CompletableFuture<MyConfigClass> getCOnfigAsync() {
  return CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> ...);
}

[echo basalt]

futures my favorite

[sand spire]

do I need to return the class my config code is in or "FileConfiguration"

[tender shard]

wdym with "the class my config code is in"?

[sand spire]

public CompletableFuture<FileConfiguration> getConfigAsync() {
        return CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> getConfig());
    }```
or 
```java
public CompletableFuture<ConfigManager> getConfigAsync() {
        return CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> getConfig());
    }```

[echo basalt]

why are we doing this async on the first place

[tender shard]

well what's the return type of getConfig() ?

maybe getConfig() loads a 2mb json file?

[echo basalt]

It's file to load the configs "sync" onEnable and just cache the values

[echo basalt]

Yeah in that case

[sand spire]

oh FileConfiguration

[echo basalt]

We'd rename to loadConfig

or initConfig

[sand spire]

rn I load data from config like this

public void loadData(Map<UUID, Integer> dataMap, Player player, String dataType) {
        if (!dataMap.containsKey(player.getUniqueId())) {
            if (!configManager.getConfig().contains(player.getUniqueId() + dataType)) {
                dataMap.put(player.getUniqueId(), 0);
                player.sendMessage("Created new " + dataType + " profile");
            } else {
                dataMap.put(player.getUniqueId(), configManager.getConfig().getInt(player.getUniqueId() + dataType));

                player.sendMessage("Used " + dataType + " from config");
            }
        }
    }```

but alex has async idk whats better

[echo basalt]

ow that looks ugly

[sand spire]

thanks

[frail sluice]

Ok... any idea what POTENTIAL_JOB_SITE and MEETING_POINT are? ```java
public void releaseAllPois() {
this.releasePoi(MemoryModuleType.HOME);
this.releasePoi(MemoryModuleType.JOB_SITE);
this.releasePoi(MemoryModuleType.POTENTIAL_JOB_SITE);
this.releasePoi(MemoryModuleType.MEETING_POINT);
}

[sand spire]

Also, how do I get the data from the CompletableFuture?

getConfigAsync.getInt doesn't work anymore like it did before it was async

[remote swallow]

you have to run stuff after its completed

getConfigAsync.whenCompelete

[sand spire]

so I use getConfig after getConfigAsync is complete?

[remote swallow]

no

you use the values of when complete

[sand spire]

uh

[remote swallow]

getConfigAsync.whenComplete((config, ex) -> { chec ex isnt null, interact with config})

[echo basalt]

thenAccept

I think luka's not properly aware of how futures work

And like.. multithreading

People just thing "async good"

I wish I were an animator rn to just come up with visual examples

[sand spire]

configManager.getConfigAsync().whenComplete().thenAccept(dataMap.put(player.getUniqueId(),configManager.getConfig()));```
i got 2 errors 💀

[sand spire]

I think you're right

[echo basalt]

Alright

Let's start with the mega basics

We have threads

A thread is basically a line of processing

Think of it like a person doing a job

[sand spire]

yeah i understand how async works

[echo basalt]

That thread can sleep (stop all work until it wakes up again) etc

There's also a thread pool

Think of a thread pool as just a collection of threads

[sand spire]

its like instead of running code on 1 timeline you run it on an adjacent timeline or something so the stuff on the second timeline doesn't slow down the main timeline

[remote swallow]

use 1 or the other

[echo basalt]

Where when you have a task, you grab an available thread, if possible

Let the thread process that task

And when the thread is done, it goes back to the pool

When the pool is empty, it is considered "exhausted", and all tasks will just wait until there's a thread available

Now that's out of the way

a Future is basically an object that represents a "pending" task

A completablefuture is an extension of Future that allows you to chain logic when that "pending" task is complete

Or other kinds of states, like when it faces an exception

[sand spire]

Alright

[echo basalt]

You can manually create and complete these futures

But you can also use the runAsync / supplyAsync static methods

Where you pass a Runnable / Supplier

And it passes that task onto a thread pool

That runs your task on another thread

Once that task is done, the future completes with the task's returned value (Void in case of a Runnable)

Now, when you do your runAsync / supplyAsync methods, they return a CompletableFuture and don't block the thread

It's your responsibility to hook up logic that happens when the task is complete, and making sure all its underlying logic is thread-safe

Here's an example

[sand spire]

thread safe?

[echo basalt]

That just means it won't face any weird concurrency issues

[sand spire]

alright

[echo basalt]

Or struggle when two threads are doing things at the same time

public void sendRequest(Player player) {
  // This runs in thread A

  this.getPlayerDataAsync(player).thenAccept(data -> {
    // This runs in thread B
    data.doSomething();
  }); 

  // Code still runs in thread A
}

private CompletableFuture<PlayerData> getPlayerDataAsync(Player player) {
  return CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> this.getPlayerDataSync(player));
}

private PlayerData getPlayerDataSync(Player player) {
  // Read from file or some other blocking method
  return ...;
}

[sand spire]

if you dont use future everything is automatically in the main thread or thread A right?

[echo basalt]

Not in every case

[sand spire]

oh

[echo basalt]

Some events are fired async

[sand spire]

thanks spigot

[tender shard]

But they got Async in their name

[echo basalt]

There's no need for certain stuff to run on the main thread

Like chat

Or player logins

You can still run futures on them, it's whatever

[wintry lynx]

So this should get every block from an explosion, correct?

[echo basalt]

you don't need to stream to forEach

[wintry lynx]

my bad

I edited it because I was using other stuff before

forgot to remove it

[sand spire]

I think I understand why and how to make something async but I have no idea how to get the data from the completablefuture

[echo basalt]

You can handle completion using the following methods:

• thenRun(Runnable) - Just runs code once the future has been complete
• thenAccept(Consumer<T>) - Provides a variable, you do whatever
• thenApply(Function<T, U>) - Provides a variable, you can return whatever you'd like
• thenCompose(Function<T, CompletionStage<U>>) - Used for chaining futures, where the main future now runs the sub-future's task

[sand spire]

this is what i tried

configManager.getConfigAsync().thenAccept((config, ex) -> { dataMap.put(player.getUniqueId(), configManager.getConfig().getInt(player.getUniqueId() + dataType))});

[echo basalt]

No clue why you're calling getConfig again

[frail sluice]

what is remapped-obf?

[echo basalt]

you have the config object

[sand spire]

to get the data

[echo basalt]

..

but the future gave you the data

[sand spire]

but how do i get it

[echo basalt]

fetchValueAsync().thenAccept((value) -> {
  // do something with the returned value;
});

????

Your lambda provides it

[sand spire]

I think i'll use thenRun cause I just need to add the data into a map

[echo basalt]

thenRun does the same except it doesn't pass your value??

[sand spire]

oh

[echo basalt]

Take a minute to do some research

[frail sluice]

How do I get a CraftVillager? typecasting?

[tender shard]

by casting a Villager

(and check instanceof before)

[next plume]

Apparently the change to EntityDamageEvent breaks EssentialsX.
https://github.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/blob/8a57856c9644bda3e8c19a622e29eba281d14fc2/Essentials/src/main/java/com/earth2me/essentials/commands/Commandsuicide.java#L17

[frail sluice]

me when kotlin smartcasting: if (entity !is CraftVillager) return

[sand spire]

I think I got it thank you

configManager.getConfigAsync().thenAccept((value) -> {
                    dataMap.put(player.getUniqueId(), value.getInt(player.getUniqueId() + dataType));
                });```

took a while even tho you gave it on a plate...

its probably cause I don't understand lambs, I will search a tutorial tomorrow but for now imma sleep have a great rest of your day

[slender elbow]

well deserved 😈

[wintry lynx]

For some reason this doesnt get every block or something is stopping them from being removed.

It prints In structure without error but some of the blocks get broken anyway

This wall should be unbroken because its part of the structure

but only part of it is unbroken

[young knoll]

That’s an F for essentials

But now they can do it properly

[frail sluice]

this doesn't work... I am calling that method but other villagers don't get the profession

Is there something else that's getting called when an entity is removed?

[olive vault]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[olive vault]

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

and also my config.yml

config-version: 1 # DO NOT EDIT, NO SUPPORT GIVEN IF EDITED

# The plugin does not allow "/" in front of the command as it automatically uses it



maincommand:
  permission: "*"
  permission-message: "&cYou cannot access this command"

blocked-commands:
  bukkit:?:
    permission: "*"
    permission-message: "&cYou cannot use this command!"```

why is the blocked command not working?

[worldly ingot]

I think more importantly, why is your arm so stretched? lol

[olive vault]

lmfao

[worldly ingot]

But it's most likely the fact that "bukkit:?" isn't in quotation marks

[olive vault]

oHH

[worldly ingot]

YAML probably having a stroke

[olive vault]

im confused why I didnt get any errors

[worldly ingot]

Just silently fails to parse

[olive vault]

tysm

[quaint mantle]

How would I make a database that doesn't break the open closed principle

[olive vault]

so like this?

blocked-commands:
"bukkit:?":
permission: "*"
permission-message: "&cYou cannot use this command!"

[quaint mantle]

Like let's say I got a stats object, and I add a new stat to it

then I got to register or impl a new line to serialize and deserialize that

[olive vault]

I meant to say that isnt working

its just doing the command as normal

[ivory sleet]

I mean the open closed principle just says a module should be open for extension, closed for modification

which means like, you should be able to modify a class, without the need to recompile it (explicitly editing a classfile)

and the way u allow that is by composition and inheritance mostly

[wintry lynx]

Anyone got any idea on why this is happening?

[young knoll]

Does it print that for each block

[olive vault]

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

why is the config.yml not getting loaded?

[young knoll]

Add a config.yml in your jar and then just use saveDefaultConfig

[olive vault]

this is my jar layout, what does savedefaultconfig do?

[compact haven]

writes resources/config.yml to plugins/.../config.yml

[quaint mantle]

Yeah but how lmao

If I had 5 different databases

I would need to register 5 different serializers

everytime I add a new stat

[olive vault]

ty

[ivory sleet]

Depends how you code it ofc

[olive vault]

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

here is the code, but the /bukkit:? is still working

[ivory sleet]

Anyhow, the open closed principle doesn’t help you much

[olive vault]

here is my config.yml

[quaint mantle]

I've noticed a lot of plugins just couple themselves with one database

[olive vault]

# The plugin does not allow "/" in front of the command as it automatically uses it
# ANY commands with ":" in it MUST have quotations


maincommand:
  permission: "*"
  permission-message: "&cYou cannot access this command"

blocked-commands:
  "bukkit:?":
    permission: "*"
    permission-message: "&cYou cannot use this command!"```

[young knoll]

Why not just use permissions to block commands

[ivory sleet]

Max, open closed principle is more advantageous as a concept when one has multiple jars and want to have some degree of independent redeployment in a system runtime

That is, avoiding to recompile every line of code in a system

(Or for third party dependencies where the target audience of consumption is the entire world)

[olive vault]

wdym

[young knoll]

If you don’t want someone to use /plugins you can explicitly remove the permission

[olive vault]

nono i want to do it for custom commands too

its gonna be a public plugin

[remote swallow]

they also probably have permissions

[young knoll]

At least they should :p

[quaint mantle]

Ah so like abstracting everything is kinda what you're saying

like version independent plugins

[olive vault]

hmm alr

ima make anew plugin

[ivory sleet]

Well yes and no

I mean, the SOLID principles are derived more concretely from the industry and applied in the industry as that’s where they become more important

in the scope of a minecraft plugin, it is rarely the case you’d need to religiously respect them

I can give you an example of when applying the open closed principle is significantly advantageous if u want

[quaint mantle]

Sure

I'm just wondering how I should save persistent data rn lol

[olive vault]

@EventHandler
public void commandExecutedEvent(PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent event) {
String command = event.getMessage().toLowerCase().replace("/", "").trim();
if (command.contains(":")) {
if (!event.getPlayer().hasPermission(config.getString("permission"))) {
event.setCancelled(true);
}
}

}

How can I make the "command" string only the command

[quaint mantle]

I think I'll just couple my plugin with Gson

[remote swallow]

its prob easier to use startsWith

or just split it by space and use the first arg

[olive vault]

ohh i forgot about .split

ArrayList<String> command = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(event.getMessage().toLowerCase().replace("/", "").trim().split(" ")));
if (command.contains(":")) {
    if (!event.getPlayer().hasPermission(config.getString("permission"))) {
        event.setCancelled(true);
    }
}```

is this good?

[quaint mantle]

You can probably do some thing like

Arrays.stream(splitting madness).filter(str -> str.contains(":")).isPresent()

I forgot the names

But it's something like that

[remote swallow]

id probably just use ```java

String[] split = event.getMessage().toLowerCase().split(" ")
String command = split[0];
if (command.equals(whatever) { stuff }

it also wont ever contain just ":" because thats not how it gets split

[olive vault]

the bottom one looks easier but thanks max and thanks epic

[wintry lynx]

Yea. It does but they still get broken

[quaint mantle]

Wait

are you blocking cmds that have the colon

[olive vault]

=yes

[ivory sleet]

Let’s say you’re writing a system, the system entails 100 million lines of code, we can both agree on that compiling this code base every-time we made a change to the source is going to be time consuming, even with modern build tools such as gradle or maven. Think, what modules of your system would you want to be able to compile without having to recompile the entire system?

|| One answer is that the GUI module would be neat to have this property, GUI code can be susceptible to change for no apparent reason, maybe the client, or the stakeholders just don’t want the blue background color anymore. ||

Another application of the open closed principle is reusability. Which on its own does imply abstraction. Reusability is something that, as an api designer becomes quite integral, for one if you have designed a software for others to use, you would want it to be appealing to them. The consumer should be able to use your software they way they want to within scope of expectations. By having this flexibility, they need not to fork the source and recompile your software every-time they would want to change something. It is also quite nice for yourself as you may not have to edit and recompile thus avoiding binary incompatibilities assuming you’ve been faithful to the principle.

[quaint mantle]

WTF

[olive vault]

lmfaoo

[ivory sleet]

Its to max

Regarding the open closed principle

[quaint mantle]

yeah that examples makes sense

pretty extreme one lol

[rough ibex]

Eh

It's pretty straightforward.

[ivory sleet]

yea, its based of a true story tho

[young knoll]

Laughs in CSS

Well, for web apps anyway

[quaint mantle]

Yk what I could do

For each stat I make it have the ability to serialize and deserialize itself

[ivory sleet]

Coll the web developer!?

[ivory sleet]

I mean that’s one way

[young knoll]

My college made us do a ton of it

Guess they forgot anything other than web dev still exists

[olive vault]

php or html?

lol

[ivory sleet]

Are you defining some sort of database polymorphic structure that supports both sql, graphs, nosql max?

[quaint mantle]

and json

[ivory sleet]

computer science?

[young knoll]

“Software development”

[ivory sleet]

Lmao

[young knoll]

So computer science from Walmart

[quaint mantle]

rn I'm just thinking of making my own object that's basically a wrapper of a hashmap

but only supports primitives and strings

[ivory sleet]

Yeah, well have you ever looked at something like luckperms?

I think they deal w database types in a reasonable way

[quaint mantle]

yeah I checked it out

[remote swallow]

oh fuck its 3:20

how is it 3am

[ivory sleet]

Obv it isn’t perfect, but its a good step in the right direction

[quaint mantle]

The interface and the async part makes sense

but then it gets so abstracted idk what's happening

[ivory sleet]

A little bit yea

[quaint mantle]

Nah it's a lil better now

Last time I checked was a month ago when I was rly rly clueless

    @Override 
     public void saveUser(User user) throws IOException { 
         user.normalData().discardChanges(); 
         try { 
             if (!this.plugin.getUserManager().isNonDefaultUser(user)) { 
                 saveFile(StorageLocation.USERS, user.getUniqueId().toString(), null); 
             } else { 
                 ConfigurationNode file = ConfigurationNode.root(); 
                 if (this instanceof SeparatedConfigurateStorage) { 
                     file.getNode("uuid").setValue(user.getUniqueId().toString()); 
                 } 
  
                 String name = user.getUsername().orElse("null"); 
                 String primaryGroup = user.getPrimaryGroup().getStoredValue().orElse(GroupManager.DEFAULT_GROUP_NAME); 
  
                 file.getNode("name").setValue(name); 
                 file.getNode(this.loader instanceof JsonLoader ? "primaryGroup" : "primary-group").setValue(primaryGroup); 
  
                 writeNodes(file, user.normalData().asList()); 
                 saveFile(StorageLocation.USERS, user.getUniqueId().toString(), file); 
             } 
         } catch (Exception e) { 
             throw new FileIOException(user.getUniqueId().toString(), e); 
         } 
     }

I don't think they have the self serialize thing

[ivory sleet]

iirc I think they use the built in datatypes for sql, and obv they take advantage of tables and relational data,

for files iirc they just map an explicit lock to every file and then they populate a given data object and fill in default data if needed, delegating the file format parsing to configurate (a config lib)

[wintry lynx]

So I removed all if checks so it should just universally not break anything and it did this

also yes I know there is an easy way to comment out code

I just didnt use it cuz brain damage

[ivory sleet]

Are you even allowed to invoke remove() inside that forEach?

[wintry lynx]

It does for some

just not all

[ivory sleet]

well, for concurrent collections yea

but you’re doing this single threaded no?

[wintry lynx]

Like there is a 50% chance for the block to not be broken

[ivory sleet]

Oo right

That’s a bit under engineered

[wintry lynx]

Yea i didnt change anything

[ivory sleet]

You might wna define some sort of interface that contracts a serialize and deserialize method max

[quaint mantle]

yeah

What's a word that combines serialize and deserialize

you think something like factory

[ivory sleet]

Serializer is fine

[young knoll]

serialize technically :p

[quaint mantle]

Alr

[young knoll]

Try something other than forEach and remove

removeIf mayhaps

[wintry lynx]

Will do

Wait doesnt remove if work for properties and not actual methods?

or am i stupid

[ivory sleet]

whaa

[wintry lynx]

Since the check is running the blocks location through structure checks

[ivory sleet]

removeIf takes a predicate right?

[young knoll]

Ye

[olive vault]

anyone know a good yaml manager (like a updater class for yaml files)?

[wintry lynx]

Yea the problem is im not checking a predicate

Im using a method to run through anything that makes it unbreakable

Structure locations, nearby blocks, stuff like that

[ivory sleet]

Like between config versions?

[olive vault]

yes

[ivory sleet]

Well, I know mojang uses DFU to deal with their format updates, but something simpler… hmm, not sure exactly. I think most devs just define some sort of case by case update functions

Or fallback values etc

[wet breach]

this is an example of why you should break up your java application into smaller bits

something that can be leveraged here is the classloader

[ivory sleet]

Yeah well you’d distribute each module in a separate jar more or less

[wet breach]

exactly this, then you would just load the modules you need and this way you can just change out a module and not the whole thing

[ivory sleet]

Yep, but to be able to do such things, you’d need to write code that supports it, which is sorta what the example points at

[olive vault]

I just found this from some random plugin

config.addDefault("enableShulkerbox", true);
config.addDefault("enableEnderChest", true);
config.addDefault("enableCraftingTable", true);

https://github.com/percyqaz/UltimateInventory/blob/main/src/main/java/me/Percyqaz/UltimateInventory/UltimateInventory.java

what does it mean?

and how can I impliment it

[ivory sleet]

I mean, it defines a default value to a specific key

[olive vault]

so that would basically be an updater thing?

[ivory sleet]

Yeah, it can be

[olive vault]

alr ty

[short plover]

if I place a block that's not supposed to be on top of another block, for e.g a small dripleaf on top of a stone block, and then I break a block next to the dripleaf, it will make the small dripleaf break because of that, how do I cancel it?

[young knoll]

BlockPhysicsEvent

[young knoll]

All a predicate is is some function that takes in X and returns true or false

[short plover]

It does get called a lot of times though, is it something I should worry about or no

[wintry lynx]

Yea but I need the blocks location and several of them so unless I use forEach(subsection) I dont have subsection to get location

Im testing a basic for each

[young knoll]

you have a block

Than you can get the location of

[olive vault]

does "getConfig()" get the config in the datafolder? or just the plugin jar

[young knoll]

Data folder

[olive vault]

ty

whats the difference between saveDefaultConfig and saveConfig

and what should I do when the plugin enables

[young knoll]

saveDefaultConfig copies the file from the jar to the data folder

Save config saves any changes made to the config

[olive vault]

tysm

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

why is it saying the command is blocked? here is my config.yml:

config-version: 1

permission: blockcommands.bypass

blockedpermissionmessage:
  - ""
  - "This command is blocked!"
  - ""

blockedcommands:
  - "pl"
blockedcharacters:
  - ":"```

[bitter rune]

did you add the permissions to yourself? it doesnt look like OP is considered a person that bypasses it

[olive vault]

i didnt. this is a fresh server

the command I ran was /plugins

which is not on the list

so it shouldve worked

[young knoll]

Because you are checking if the command they ran contains any of the blocked commands

/plugins does contain pl

[olive vault]

nono i removed /plugins from the configuration list for testing

to see if its only looking at the jar file

or the actual config.yml

[young knoll]

Like I said

The command “/plugins” does contain the string “pl”

[candid inlet]

Did you close and open the server after you changed it?

[wintry lynx]

:I

I might be losing my mind

[short plover]

What are u trying to do?

[echo basalt]

I feel like that'd cause a ConcurrentModificationException

just event.blockList().clear()

[wintry lynx]

Well in that code im just trying to remove all blocks from the list of blocks the explosion will damage but in the long run im trying to disable a certian number of blocks based on location and type

[echo basalt]

event.blockList().removeIf(block -> ...)

[wintry lynx]

Yea that didnt work

Already tried

[echo basalt]

I remember making an explosion-proof glass thing

[wintry lynx]

Ive been slowly making things more and more simple

[echo basalt]

and it worked fine

[lost matrix]

Is your message being broadcast?

[wintry lynx]

Yea and it gave the proper number of dropped blocks which is 50

or that time was

which doesnt make sense since its supposed to remove all of them

[lost matrix]

Your code should not work in the first place.

[wintry lynx]

how so?

[lost matrix]

Just try list.clear() for now

[wintry lynx]

Im not trying to clear it

[lost matrix]

It should throw an exception

[lost matrix]

Do that for now pls

[wintry lynx]

Just as a test?

[echo basalt]

smile saying "pls" instead of "please"

he's either incredibly sleep deprived or just woke up

[young knoll]

Plz

[echo basalt]

pl0x

[lost matrix]

How...

yeah

code change plox

[wintry lynx]

So yea that works.

106 is the blocks originally hit

[echo basalt]

Congrats you're having some kind of exception

[wintry lynx]

second is the blocks remaining

[lost matrix]

Alright. Now use removeIf(Predicate<Block>)

[wintry lynx]

There arent any errors in the logs tho

[echo basalt]

you were having**

[wintry lynx]

There werent any then either

[echo basalt]

Probably some weird uncaught exception

[wintry lynx]

What would I put its if as?

[echo basalt]

But yeah let's build up from here

removeIf(block -> true) should have the same effect

[wintry lynx]

yep same effect

[echo basalt]

Alright, let's add a check now

How about getting rid of half the blocks

removeIf(block -> ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextBoolean())

Or just filtering by block type

Keep in mind returning true will remove the item from the list, therefor "saving it" from being removed

[lost matrix]

I would recommend creating a method called

public boolean isExplosionResistant(Block block) {
  // Write your impl. Return true if explosion resistant
}

Then you can use it like this:

list.removeIf(this::isExplosionResistant);

[wintry lynx]

I could

Thats not a bad idea

[young knoll]

Yay method references

[wintry lynx]

Tho it would be isInStructureResistant since the plan is to disable a structure brom being broken into

[wintry lynx]

Not exactly half

[echo basalt]

Not exactly but close enough

[eternal oxide]

Random so close enough

[wintry lynx]

true

[rigid loom]

https://paste.md-5.net/guxahunuxi.cs
for some reason this doesn't actually disband the kingdom upon server reload, even if there's more than just the kingdom being disbanded in existence

[lost matrix]

You should stay away from reloads. They are not supported by spigot and prone to breaking half of the plugins out there.

[rigid loom]

Thats not very helpful.

Also i dont want to restart the server every single time im testing a plugin i am making

[eternal oxide]

The logic in those two sets fo code is so close it's pointless seperating them

[lost matrix]

Was about to say that im seeing a lot of dry code here

[eternal oxide]

First one, if no perms do all this shit and delete anyway.
Second one, if he does have perms still delete

[wintry lynx]

So putting the ifs in a method works fin but doing it inside of the actual explosion event dont 😑

[wintry lynx]

Thanks a ton

[lost matrix]

Add a bunch of debug messages to see whats being called.
I can see quite a few points of failure here but fixing them might need major changes to the whole structure of your plugin.
For the next time:

• Never write a getter or setter for your collections (lists, sets, maps, etc)
• Create more manager classes like KingdomManager etc, instead of keeping all your data in the JavaPlugin class

[eternal oxide]

Removed duplicate code. Not changed any logic so likely still won;t work https://paste.md-5.net/davofonewa.cs

[rigid loom]

It's not duplicate. Its checking for if the user is/n't a admin

[eternal oxide]

it is identical, The only difference is you do three checks and return if they don;t have the permission

rest of the code is duplicate

[dreamy ridge]

spigots damage method does armor-piercing damage. is there any way to make it not?

[rigid loom]

Ye. I see what you mean now

Took me a sec

[eternal oxide]

are you running this code in onDisable?

and is "plugin" referencing your plugin or Kingdoms?

[wintry lynx]

@lost matrix Great success. 22k TNT :P

Top section of the structure is destructable, lower half is not

[lost matrix]

Noice

[young knoll]

Das a lotta boom

[frail sluice]

Can I replace a spawned entity with a custom NMS subclass?

[lost matrix]

Yes

[frail sluice]

How?

[lost matrix]

There are several approaches depending on how clean you want the replacement to be.
Some can be quite complicated. The easiest way would be to listen to spawn events, cancel them and spawn your
own entity instead.

[frail sluice]

I don't mean that, I mean an entity that has already spawned

[lost matrix]

Um. Remove it and spawn your own then?

[frail sluice]

Wouldn't that be noticeable?

[lost matrix]

Explain the overal situation. What do you need this for?

[frail sluice]

I want to replace the behavior of a villager at some point

[lost matrix]

Then spawn your custom villager from the beginning and have the logic reflect your change instead of replacing the villager completely

[frail sluice]

I see.

What would happen if the plugin is uninstalled?

[lost matrix]

Then your classes are no longer found and the villagers will be replaced by vanilla ones

[frail sluice]

👍

[short raptor]

This is less development and more design, but if your plugin had two different abilities the player could use, how would you enable them to activate these abilities? A hotbar item is not an option

You could put one ability on crouch, but then what for the second?

[rotund ravine]

Double crouch?

Crouch double right click?

[short raptor]

Yeah, I feel like double crouch will make the most sense, I'm just testing to see if anyone else had an idea I haven't come across

[rotund ravine]

Double space

[lost matrix]

Combination clicks like R - L - R

@rotund ravine i heard you‘re gonna write some basics modules today? :3

[torpid blaze]

Hey,
I know, 1.8 is not supported anymore but I still would like to ask, if anyone knows how I could "fix" the minecraft bug, where the players nametag is still visible, even though he drank an invisibility potion.
I thought of manually making the nametag invisible when a player has the effect and remove it again when the effect disappeares, but I can't find any event that triggeres on these moments.

Does anyone maybe know a better way to do this?
It would mean a lot to me!

[eternal oxide]

Probably doesn;t exist in 1.8 but https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityPotionEffectEvent.html

[torpid blaze]

yea, ChatGPT already suggested that 😄

but that doesn't exist in 1.8

still thanks!

[cobalt thorn]

How can i get the face of any block like bedrock and apply it to an armorstand to rotate (the event is BlockPlaceEvent)

[sullen marlin]

sorry I don't understand

[cobalt thorn]

i need to get the face of a block like the direction was north and then apply it to an armor stand

to look in the same direction as the block

[tender shard]

in PlayerInteractEvent you can get the clicked blockface

[cobalt thorn]

i need it inside block place event

[tender shard]

then you just keep it in a map for a tick or sth

although BlockplaceEvent also has a placedAgainst block

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/block/BlockPlaceEvent.html#getBlockAgainst()
then use blockPlaceAgainst.getFace(blockPlaced) to get the blockface

might be the other way around, idk you gotta try

[cobalt thorn]

and then how can i convert the blockface into a rotation for the armor stand

[tender shard]

wdym with "rotation"? a yaw value?

[cobalt thorn]

yes

[tender shard]

just map the 4 faces to their yaw values or sth, idk, e.g.
WEST = 90
NORTH = 180
EAST = -90
SOUTH = 0
or sth like that

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/block/BlockFace.html#getDirection()

apply that vector to teh stand

[tender shard]

but that would only move the armorstand instead of rotating it, no?

[eternal oxide]

is he tryign to set teh head facing or the whole stand?

[tender shard]

tbh i have no idea what they're trying to do lol

[eternal oxide]

lol

if it's the head he can setHeadPose(new EulerAngle(x,y,z)) of the vector

[shadow night]

tf is a EulerAngle

idk maths btw

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/util/EulerAngle.html

[sullen marlin]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

geometry sucks

[shadow night]

this Euler guy made my mathematic suffering mathematically worse

[icy beacon]

Trueee

Math that uses actual numbers (and well letters) on top

[sand spire]

Can someone check my code and tell me if this is a safe way to load & save userdata from config? Everything works but I'm new to coding and I might have overlooked something important that will cause lots of pain in the future (I added comments for quick navigation)

https://pastes.dev/1Ym6DyOLDb

[icy beacon]

Damn that's a cool pastebin

[hybrid spoke]

yes and no. code looks fine as what i've seen, but you dont want to use the common thread pool. CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(this::getConfig) rather pass in your own executor. also for loading purposes you have the AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent

im not a fan of all those XXAsync methods, but you do you

[icy beacon]

There is some code that should be asynced, e.g. playerloginevent -> asyncplayerpreloginevent. Other than that, if there is something wrong/inconvenient, it'll pop up during testing. Also, this is more of a preference thing, but I'd advise to not use a static instance variable and instead pass the instance of the plugin during dependency injection

?di

[undone axle]

Guide to dependency injection: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-dependency-injection/

[icy beacon]

Basically everything godcipher said + di lol

[sand spire]

I will read the wiki and apply the changes thank you both!

[rotund ravine]

Oh my. I def said this week 👀

But sure probably

[sand spire]

Should I make something so the player only exits the loadingscreen and joins the server when the data is finished loading async, or is this already automatic with the AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent?

[tall dragon]

the event is already async, you can just load your data sync and that thread will block untill the data is loaded, hence keeping the player in loading screen until that point as well.

[sand spire]

Thanks 👍

[quiet ice]

Does anyone have some nice utility method for formatting BigDecimals in the format of 5.12k or 128M?

[shadow night]

I used to have the opposite somewhere

[quiet ice]

I guess I'll just use the engineering representation in the meantime but that might use too many chars, I'll see

[wet breach]

BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(1);
bd = bd.setScale(2, RoundingMode.ROUND_HALF_UP);
System.out.println(bd);

this will give you 2 decimal places and rounds up

or you could round down

[quiet ice]

But that wouldn't give the suffix or?

[wet breach]

No, for storage sizes you will need to create a utility for that

since it depends which standard and which type of size

its not overly difficult to create one

[rocky fox]

can someone help me lower the xp merging on a minheut server

[ember estuary]

I want to make elytras slower, how can I do so?
setFlightspeed seems to only change creative flight speed. Are there some variables where i can set elytra gliding speed / max velocity ?
(on a per player level, so that one can unlock full speed by upgrading his elytra)

[smoky anchor]

I do not believe this is possible, might be with 1.20.5 gravity attribute tho
I've seen someone use high gravity to make fast elytra, might work other way too

[flint coyote]

You could try to play with the velocity in the PlayerMoveEvent after checking isGliding(). Try to set it to a certain threshold if it's too high.
Not sure how good that will actually work out but it's worth to give it a try.

[wet breach]

just set it super high and watch them fly like a dart

[flint coyote]

multiply it by 1.001 every move event so they slowly get faster and can never slow down unless they ram into something

[wet breach]

that is interesting way to do that

[rare rover]

Hmm, I gotta return a value from an ExecutorService. By using .get() on the future but wouldn't that be slow or nah?

[eternal oxide]

.get will lock the calling thread

[rare rover]

Hmmm, well I needs retrieve the value from the thread somehow. Or return something else:

    inline fun <reified T> runAsyncIf(condition: Boolean, crossinline block: () -> T): T? {
        return if (condition) {
            var result: T? = null

            val thread = Thread { result = block() }
            thread.start()

            thread.join()

            result
        } else {
            block()
        }
    }``` which is bad

Trying to use a thread pool but idk what to return

[young knoll]

Use completeable futures

[rare rover]

Rightttt, forgot those existed

💀

something like this?:

inline fun <reified T> runAsyncIf(condition: Boolean, crossinline block: () -> T): CompletableFuture<T?> {
        return if (condition) CompletableFuture.supplyAsync({ block() }, EXECUTOR_SERVICE)
        else CompletableFuture.completedFuture(block())
    }``` iirc

    @PublishedApi
    internal val EXECUTOR_SERVICE = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()```

[hushed spindle]

did anything recently change with the EntityDamageByEntityEvent? it now has a DamageSource parameter which breaks existing projects calling it manually

its more like a why is this a thing now

[hazy parrot]

Why not using coroutines?

[rare rover]

cuz their api is terrible imo, i dislike them

[ivory sleet]

Co routines is nice, but yeah, if u’re j21, virtual threads is just as fine, since u do use kotlin using em can be nice josh

But if you wanna appeal to the java community, maybe its best to have some api that don’t expose coroutines at least

[inner mulch]

does anyone know a good approach of communication in between the proxy server and the mc server, via packets (redis)? (also calling api methods in those packets to do something on either server)?

[ivory sleet]

I mean yeah using something like redis and just send messages back and forth is fine?

[inner mulch]

but calling api methods in those packets?

[ivory sleet]

I mean you’d define some sort of protocol over redis, and then u interpret the protocol and invoke relevant methods on the proxy jvm, respectively the mc server jvm

[inner mulch]

why are my classes not recognized anymore?

[wet breach]

You could use RMI

[inner mulch]

RMI?

[ivory sleet]

Remote method invocation

[inner mulch]

what does that mean?

[ivory sleet]

its a way to invoke a method that exists on one jvm, from another jvm

[inner mulch]

and how does this work?

[river oracle]

Events aren't guaranteed api

[wet breach]

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/jpl2-socket-communication.html

[river oracle]

They are internal and not meant to be called manually adjust your project accordingly

[ivory sleet]

Idk I’ve never really implemented it, just knows it was annoying to debug

@inner mulch

[wet breach]

idk if RMI is a good fit for your needs or not or solves your issue

however, its something to learn 🙂

[inner mulch]

ok

[ivory sleet]

Yeah conceptually very cool framework for one who needs it

[lament maple]

How can i get value X out of config.yml?

Spawn:
  X: 18.483
  Y: 48.0
  Z: 49.574
  Pitch: -179
  Yaw: 0

[hushed spindle]

YamlConfiguration#getDouble("Spawn.X")

first gotta get the config ofc

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/config-files/

[lament maple]

like this?

[hushed spindle]

well i didnt say getstringlist did i

thats gonna attempt to fetch a string list from the value mapped to Spawn

but its not a list

so it will be an empty list

[sage patio]

how can i create a method like this(String username, String title, String message) and put some stuff to be allowed be empty
for example i want the username always but title and message are optional

[hushed spindle]

you're looking for constructor overloads

very simply, you just make more constructors where said params are optional

[wet breach]

or you just remove the params

[sage patio]

i thought thats a wrong way to create them

[hushed spindle]

i mean its not the cleanest

you could use a builder pattern alternatively

bit overkill if you just got 3 params though

[wet breach]

the cleanest way, is to create an object and have said object be what is required for the param

then you can just set the options in the object the way you want

[sage patio]

hmm, thanks

[river oracle]

@hushed spindle now that I'm thinking about it might make a PR later to make that more clear 🤔 probably gonna add api status internal to constructors

That way it's atleast obvious

[quaint mantle]

yk when zombie is attacking it stops for a bit in between then attacks again is there a way to make its ai brutual like really hard to pvp

[river oracle]

Gotta customize goals iirc you'll have to make your own entities

This requires NMS

To get started with nms see below

?nms

[undone axle]

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

[quaint mantle]

thanks atleast i know what to start from

[hushed spindle]

that would be nice, though would it be too much to ask to return the original constructors as well in addition to the current ones

[river oracle]

Yes

[hushed spindle]

darn

[river oracle]

The API has changed in a positive way and I don't want to perpetuate a standard there

Especially when we have trouble getting rid of shit api already

[quaint mantle]

is there a documention of what each goal does

[torn shuttle]

very random question but does anyone know if there is a way to make a post request to discord to get a list of threads that exist in a forum in a specific discord server?

[wet breach]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway-events#thread-list-sync

[smoky anchor]

yo, can someone either tell me how to find an entity in World by UUID
or quickly PR it ? :D

[torn shuttle]

you get the world get the entities and compare it by uuid afaik there is no map access to it

then again it's been a hot minute since I've done anything like that, it's slow as hell

[smoky anchor]

well, ServerLevel has getEntity(UUID)
don't see any reason for World to not have it too

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#getLivingEntities()
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#getEntities()

those two methods gets the entities in the world of currently loaded chunks

choose which ever you need, loop through the list and compare the uuid

[smoky anchor]

Seems slow, I'll just create a method using NMS
(totally not me hoping MD will come here and add the method himself out of pure rage)

[wet breach]

not sure why you think it would be slow, but conversely how would the method you propose or were looking for would work implementation wise?

[smoky anchor]

well NMS has lookup by uuid, that's a map of some sort

[wet breach]

just because said method you were looking for wouldn't require you to loop doesn't mean some kind of loop isn't being done

[river oracle]

Bukkit#getWorld(UUID)

World#getUUID

[smoky anchor]

I need entity in that world

[river oracle]

World#getEntities is a method

[smoky anchor]

that iterates over every world

[river oracle]

no it doesn't

World#getEntiites get entities in that world

[smoky anchor]

oh ye, I misread the method
again, returns a list and from what I understand, lookup by uuid in map is "faster" than iterating over a list

[river oracle]

I believe only chunks allow entity lookup as you want

I dono't think any such world storage for every entity exists

this is because of how internals work, as far as PRing such a method it'd still be iterative so its a 0 sum game

[slender elbow]

why do you need that as opposed to Server getEntity

[river oracle]

because it goes through every world ?

[smoky anchor]

If I already have the world, I don't see a reason to iterate over every world the entity is not in

[smoky anchor]

I might be reading it wrong, but I think there is full world entity access

[wet breach]

I am not sure how slow you actually think looping over a list would be

maybe you unders estimate how fast CPU's really are

also, I doubt you are going to have over a million entities in the world at any given time loaded

yes, a map could potentionally be faster, however it limits how it can be used as well

since Entities in a world can only exist when chunks are loaded a list is sufficient if you need to go through all current loaded entities in a given World

if instead you were looking for a way to search the entire storage of the server for a particular entity, then you are going to have to manually parse region files yourself since they are not typically all loaded at once unless you just have a small world

[ivory sleet]

if there is a million/billion entities, iterating would be... well, not very nice, but doubt thats the type of functional requirements we're dealing with here

[wet breach]

kind of my point lol, but I mean even at a million it really doesn't take long though

[smoky anchor]

ye I guess that's true lol :D

[ivory sleet]

well depends on the invocation frequency but yeah

[timid hedge]

If i have the plugins source code on github and what to change something in one class how do i so add the plugin to my intellij and so i can build to project myself?

[wet breach]

I guess you don't understand how git works?

[timid hedge]

prob right

[wet breach]

anyways, ideally you would already have the project locally already, so its just a matter of opening it. Make the changes you want, then use git to commit your changes to your local repo

then you use git to push those changes to github

[minor junco]

git clone and you're set

[wet breach]

if by chance your github repo changes, you can pull those changes to your local version and your IDE will automatically update the project if its currently loaded

[timid hedge]

I dont want to upload it to github, its someone else code

[wet breach]

normally you shouldn't need to clone your own repo's from github, but yes if you don't have the repo for whatever reason you are going to want to clone it

[minor junco]

Ah it's his own repo

well

[wet breach]

appparently not but they could make it their own by forking

XD

[minor junco]

Dfq

[wet breach]

alright, well there is two ways you can go about this then

[timid hedge]

So...
I have a premium plugin
That plugin requires another core plugin
The core plugin requires some different plugins and essentials
I want to download the core and code essentials out from the core so i dont need to have essentials on my server

[wet breach]

you can either use the fork button on github, and essentially make a clone of the current repo as it is in your own github repo

it won't auto update, but this allows you to upload your own changes. Handy if you plan on maintaining your own version

the other way is to just use the clone button to pull the repo to be local, I am pretty sure IJ has some git clone thing

and then you can open the project

[timid hedge]

I dont want to upload my own version

[wet breach]

its fine, but even if you don't its handy in case the repo goes away 🙂

[minor junco]

1.7 if you're not wanting to check against server version. Use the latest if you do and also if you want to use the latest features if supported

[wet breach]

I have plenty of repo's forked myself

even though most of them I probably haven't touched

[timid hedge]

Okay soo.. im at the github and what should i do now? Download zip?

[wet breach]

you could, but there should be a button for getting the url to clone

you are going to need that url and then in IJ you need to find the git clone

I don't use IJ so I can't tell you specifically where it is at

[timid hedge]

?img

[undone axle]

Is this the right place?
https://prnt.sc/he8U5A7GNZ7-

[wet breach]

click the green code button

[wet breach]

yep that url that ends with .git is what you need

and now that you know where its at, time to find where in IJ git clone resides 🙂

[minor junco]

Does IntelliJ have clone? I just use the CLI lol

[ivory sleet]

yea it does

[wet breach]

I couldn't tell you, I would imagine so

[ivory sleet]

Im a gui user

(Dont hate me lol)

[wet breach]

Well there you go, if Conclube says it exists it must

[timid hedge]

So i need to find where in intellij i can paste that link? and it will copy the code

[wet breach]

it will clone the repo, not sure if it will ask you if you want to open the project or not but I think it will

[minor junco]

Nah that's valid, I mean it can make things easier

[wet breach]

and then that is pretty much it

[ivory sleet]

🙏

[timid hedge]

Alright thanks, but do you know where in intellij i do that? i cant find the place where i paste the link

[wet breach]

nope as I said I don't use IJ

[timid hedge]

Oh sry didnt see that

[wet breach]

I suppose Conclube could help with that

[ivory sleet]

Yeah

[wet breach]

I use netbeans 😛

[ivory sleet]

Well there’s pretty much File -> New Project -> New Project From Existing Sources

iirc

or maybe its called like

New Project From Version Control

idr

[wet breach]

there isn't like just a button or something in the menu that say git clone?

[ivory sleet]

Hmm, maybe lol

[wet breach]

o.O

[ivory sleet]

They change the gui too often

[remote swallow]

its from something from version control iirc

[timid hedge]

When i paste the link at the existing sources menu nothing happenms

[wet breach]

more reasons I don't use IJ

[remote swallow]

File > new from version control

[ivory sleet]

Yeah, they use, us users, as labrats pretty much lol

[timid hedge]

Thanks

Why do i get an error at essentials dependency? the error is at "io.papermc:paperlib:1.0.6"
https://prnt.sc/0Q05Wuln36wU

[remote swallow]

does it compile

[worldly ingot]

Genuinely no clue why that's even exposed in the classpath tbh

[timid hedge]

No, im getting this error:

io.papermc:paperlib:jar:1.0.6 was not found in https://repo.extendedclip.com/content/repositories/placeholderapi/ during a previous attempt. This failure was cached in the local repository and resolution is not reattempted until the update interval of placeholderapi has elapsed or updates are forced

Try to run Maven import with -U flag (force update snapshots)

[remote swallow]

add the paper repo

[worldly ingot]

Still confused why it's exposed at all that's an internal development tool, not meant for API publication

[timid hedge]

Why do i get this error now? placeholderapi???

[remote swallow]

thats not a valid bstats version

[timid hedge]

But why could the developer build the project when i need to change all the dependencies now?

[remote swallow]

probably from stuff being on his maven local

[wet breach]

depends when the developer last built from it?

anyways its simple fix here

[timid hedge]

2022

[wet breach]

the versions you have issue with there do not exist in the repo it mentions

1.9.0.1 is the lowest version in that repo for placeholderapi

oh its trying to find bstats

[remote swallow]

bstats is central and uses full versions

eg 3.0.1

[timid hedge]

is this correct? (found it on https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.bstats/bstats-bukkit/2.2.1?smo=true)

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.bstats</groupId>
    <artifactId>bstats-bukkit</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.1</version>
</dependency>

[wet breach]

looks alright

save it and try compiling again 🙂

[remote swallow]

thats a major out of date but sure

[wet breach]

well it was using an old version to begin with

I doubt updating the dependencies to latest would be wise

[timid hedge]

So i should just update all dependencies now? but im just wondering if the code still would work then

[wet breach]

only update the dependencies that its giving issues with, in this case bstats

update it to the lowest version closest to what the pom had

[timid hedge]

The pom didnt have any bstat

[wet breach]

if you update the dependencies on a old project to latest, odds are it will break the project 😛

[wet breach]

according to your compiler log above, something needed it

[timid hedge]

here is the default pom
https://pastebin.com/BEmHT4rk

[wet breach]

anyways, this is one of the downsides of dealing with old projects that are not maintained anymore 😛

[torn shuttle]

anyone know off the top of their heads if when doing animated textures for mc items through blockbench anything special needs to be done to get it to work?

I've not had much time to look into it yet but I managed to get the model in but the texture is busted when using it just as it exported from blockbench

[timid hedge]

I have added paper and bstat and im still getting this error

org.bstats:bstats-bukkit:jar:1.8 was not found in https://repo.extendedclip.com/content/repositories/placeholderapi/ during a previous attempt. This failure was cached in the local repository and resolution is not reattempted until the update interval of placeholderapi has elapsed or updates are forced

Try to run Maven import with -U flag (force update snapshots)

[wet breach]

seems for whatever reason placeholderapi needs it most likely

[timid hedge]

This is the "Sync" error:
Cannot resolve org.bstats:bstats-bukkit:1.8

[pure stag]

how to change spawner mob type? is code not work, event work

[wet breach]

yeah not entirely sure why it wants bstats

[worldly ingot]

You're on the right track, you just forgot to call spawner.update() to apply the changes

[wet breach]

I know a hackish way though to make it go away however

[timid hedge]

I think its becuase this is just a "core", this plugin is needed for the other plugin to work

[wet breach]

just not sure if you should do it is all

anyways, you could just manually download the lowest version available of bstats and then manually install it in your local maven repo as 1.8

can't guarantee it won't cause problems but if it does you could just remove it from your local repo but I doubt it will though

[pure stag]

thank you!

[timid hedge]

How do i install it in my local maven repo?

[wet breach]

by using the maven commands

well not sure how to do it with IJ

think it lets you do that

[timid hedge]

Where can i download bstat?

Oh i found it on mvnrepository

So which maven commands should i use now?

[remote swallow]

just change the dep version and reload

[wet breach]

bstat isn't declared in the pom directly

[remote swallow]

oh

[wet breach]

its being pulled in as a transitive

[remote swallow]

the hell is providing bstats

[wet breach]

but the problem is, the version being tried to be pulled in doesn't exist anymore

well not on the official repo I don't think

[remote swallow]

ig update whatevers trying to provideit

[wet breach]

yeah, just not sure what it is. So I told them a hackish way to solve it 😛

problem is I don't know how to do it using IJ

[slender elbow]

essentials exposes bstats

I have that excluded in the single plugin I have that hooks with essentials lmao

[remote swallow]

@worldly ingot fight someone there

[wet breach]

lol

[worldly ingot]

Yeah and it exposes paperweight for some reason too

[slender elbow]

and vault exposes bukkit which is kinda pepega as well

oh yeah essentials also exposed paperlib too

[worldly ingot]

Sorry, paperlib, that's what I meant

[tender shard]

and papi exposes shaded adventure

and minimessage

[worldly ingot]

🫠

[remote swallow]

it was mdcfe

choco go

[worldly ingot]

Classic. Now we know who to yell at!

[timid hedge]

uhmm... so should i use the maven commands to fix bstat or should i do something else=?

[tender shard]

where is bstats coming from? just exclude it from that

<dependency>

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!

[timid hedge]

Is there any fix for this?

you exclude it from essentials

[tender shard]

excluding bstats from bstats makes little sense lol

[trim quest]

my first question is about specialsource-maven-plugin and SpecialSource artifactId's on maven repo

what is the difference between them

[tender shard]

idk, I'd always use the one from md5 on maven central, and then look for the latest version: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.md-5/SpecialSource/1.11.3

[trim quest]

md_5 share 2 different dependency on maven repo related to SpecialSource

[tender shard]

oh wait

[trim quest]

u are using specialsource-maven-plugin

[tender shard]

yeah I just saw, the thing on central isnt the maven plugin

<dependency>
    <groupId>net.md-5</groupId>
    <artifactId>specialsource-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>

[tender shard]

yep!

[remote swallow]

why is that a dependency

[trim quest]

maven plugin not needed right

[remote swallow]

not a plugin

[trim quest]

just dependency

[remote swallow]

you need the plugin to remap

[tender shard]

hm? ofc you need the maven plugin

?nms

[undone axle]

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

[tender shard]

the dependency itself is worthless

[trim quest]

hmm

[tender shard]

you only have to add the <plugin> section - declaring the dependency again is not needed

[trim quest]

and i want to ask why you programming to versions.

Can't we use maven modules as an interface from which we can pull classes and interfaces?

i have project like that

it was 1.8-latest

[remote swallow]

i would avoid that and have each thing as a module

instead of some stuff being in parent bc iirc maven doesnt support that

[trim quest]

is there any way ?

to do that

because i really dont wanna program for each version

[tender shard]

i don't really understand the question at all

[tender shard]

then you must not use NMS

[trim quest]

no i think Core module can solve that for us.

[tender shard]

erm yes ofc

the NMS projects should always only implement your NMS handler class

[remote swallow]

you arent really making much sense

[tender shard]

99% of your plugin should be in core

[timid hedge]

Ahh okay thanks

[trim quest]

hmm nms sub modules should be jar projects and implements only handler class then

right ?

[remote swallow]

what

[trim quest]

look at my project tree

i divided nms and core

[remote swallow]

you have a core module which is the plugin, you have an nms-api which is based of an interface that you extend with the needed version and use reflection to get an instance, then you just call the methods

[trim quest]

nms is pom project and their submodules are jar project

[remote swallow]

in maven its easier to have it all in base dir

example: https://github.com/mfnalex/JeffLib/

[tender shard]

what's the point of having a separate parent for NMS modules? I don#t see any advantage

parent = pom
all others = jar

[trim quest]

its more hierarchical

you are not using jar-with-dependencies also

in your tutorial

[tender shard]

yeah I'm using the maven-shade-plugin

[trim quest]

what is that

i just saw. i was using jar-with-dependencies for unite them

[tender shard]

it includes the dependencies in your .jar

[sullen canyon]

for example if I update my scoreboard every second and I need to do .replace() (because I have "placeholders") it seems to lag a bit

can't really feel it but profiler shows that it has impact

[trim quest]

Can you elaborate on the subject a little more?

[sullen canyon]

should I be worried about it and maybe there is a better way to have placeholders than doing .replace()

[tender shard]

https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/
it takes all your dependencies and throws them into a single .jar

[wet breach]

there is like 3 versions of special source in case you were curious

[trim quest]

its looks like jar with dependencies thing

[wet breach]

well 4 if we count the maven plugin I guess

[remote swallow]

it is pretty much

but the offical version with normal naming

[trim quest]

im using that

[remote swallow]

use shade plugin

[trim quest]

root project pom right ?

[tender shard]

shade plugin is better as it can create a proper dependency-reduced pom.xml, and has additional features such as minize and relocate

[tender shard]

no, dist

[remote swallow]

depends where you need to shade stuff

[trim quest]

or each project needed that dependency

[tender shard]

only the dist module

[wet breach]

well depends, assembly in this context would essentially embed a jar inside of a jar. Handy if you want to provide plugins from a single plugin 😛

[tender shard]

yeah but I doubt that that's what they want

[timid hedge]

How do i fix this error?
https://pastebin.com/24eFksvC

The error is at triumphgui

[lost matrix]

You need to shade it in or else it wont be there on runtime

[tender shard]

where does triump even come from? it wasnt in the pom you sent earlier

[timid hedge]

Its becuase this isnt my code, its from github. Its a core for another plugin i use so therefore there are more poms

[timid hedge]

How do i do that?

[lost matrix]

What do you mean by "more poms". Is this a multi-module project?

looks like you are expected to run mvn package on the "packaging" module - then use the .jar from that

you probably used the .jar created from "plugin"

packaging will probably shade it

so how did you get the jar

Artifact

[tender shard]

so you did compile something

[remote swallow]

no wonder its not shaded then

[timid hedge]

Your guys are saying two diffent things 🤣

[tender shard]

no

both epic and me know that you randomly compiled any part of that project using IJ's build artifacts while you should have used mvn package on the packaging module

[remote swallow]

^^

[tender shard]

never ever use "build artifacts" when you use a maven or gradle project

(and "build artifacts" is still compiling btw)

[timid hedge]

I didnt that now but the plugin is named "plugin" now

And it still isnt fixed
https://pastebin.com/th8Y0aE4

[tender shard]

show a screenshot of your maven output after you compiled

or better of your whole IJ after you ran maven, with the maven console open

[timid hedge]

I doule clicked on package?

[remote swallow]

then where did you get the jar from

100% he clicked on some random "package" from another module

Hello, does anyone know how to catch an event of a hopper trying to transfer items into a non-container block with custom NBT? So basically I am making an autoseller plugin and I need to handle when a hopper is trying to transfer items into my autoseller block (a player head with a custom nbt tag isAutoSeller: true). How to properly do this?

[pure stag]

why mobs not spawned every second? UPD: Fixed

generatorData.getTimeToSpawn() returned 1

[eternal oxide]

not sure if that keeps firing if no inventory is attached

[ivory ivy]

ok, I'll try. Thanks!

[ivory ivy]

Isn't that when the block is above the hopper and not when the hopper is pointing in it? Cuz it says Event that gets called each time a Hopper attempts to find its source/attached containers

[eternal oxide]

both

if getSearchBlock() returns your block

[ivory ivy]

If you created a project new from version control then you should have everything.
This is simply not a maven project so it has no pom.

ofc you can. Its just a simply java project.
