[eternal night]

Yea, how are you going to represent two different listeners listening to the same "topic"

[inner mulch]

i think i said it incorrectly, im not using a set as a key anymore, but i was always going to use a set for the values.

[eternal night]

aha. I have no idea what you mean but ye, gl 👍

[inner mulch]

map<topic, set<listener>> 😁
map<set<topic>, set<listener>>> 😠

[eternal night]

Yea so exactly what miles suggested

lol

[slender elbow]

who said Set<topic> as key 🤔

[inner mulch]

me in the first place

[slender elbow]

the map has a key set, yes

it's all the available keys in the map, it's a set

[inner mulch]

no :( the key would be a set

[slender elbow]

huh

i

sure

[inner mulch]

5 minutes ago it would have been

BUT NOW

im smarter 🤓

[zealous osprey]

I need someone smart

[inner mulch]

i can help you

[zealous osprey]

Yey.
Can you help me prove that the vectorspace of the complex numbers is isomorph to that of the 2 dimensional vectorspace of the real numbers using the inverse identity matrix?

[inner mulch]

sure

hold on

[zealous osprey]

I'm actually not sure if that is even possible...

[zealous osprey]

But who am I to judge, you are smart

[inner mulch]

have fun, idk what this, i guess you do?

[zealous osprey]

There were two mistakes in there and didn't use the identity matrix, but I'm impressed that GPT actually knew how to prove linearity

[inner mulch]

:)

[wispy plume]

When shading dependencies for a bungeecord plugin, should I relocate them all? (e.g. apache commons io, jakarta.mail)
Wondering what's the good practice in bungee development

[kindred valley]

how can i constantly spam an item on the groun

d

[inner mulch]

wdym?

[kindred valley]

how to spam item on a loc i mean

[elder harness]

Is there a way to get the localized name of an enchantment? Currently I just get the namespaced key, but that is always in English of course

[inner mulch]

I still dont understand? Can you explain what you mean by that

[kindred valley]

my bad i meant spawn

[inner mulch]

A bukkitRunmable if i understand corrctly

[kindred valley]

what

[inner mulch]

BukkitRunnable?

[young knoll]

World.dropItem iirc

[inner mulch]

he wanted it to constantly spawn

[kindred valley]

do you know capture the wool

[inner mulch]

no sadly not

[young knoll]

Then yeah just spawn it with a runnable

[quaint mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/dbz-discord-gif-24306382

[proud badge]

is Bukkit.broadcastMessage fine async?

Since it doesnt modify anything in the world

[tribal zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-sung-jin-woo-solo-leveling-manhwa-cat-gif-22195290

[warm mica]

Depends on how it is handled internally, but it can cause problems as it has to go through all players of that world

[river oracle]

Not fired async but probably thread safe give it a go

[warm mica]

If I remember correctly, players are a part of a CopyOnWriteArrayList, but spigot has decided to throw exceptions nonetheless recently

At least with sounds. So i wouldn't be surprised

[proud badge]

So this returns the full domain that the player used right?

Because I'm making a plugin where players can create referrals in the form of subdomains

[hazy parrot]

I remember I had some problems with it

Give it a try

Should be easy to test

[proud badge]

Also is .hasJoinedBefore safe to run in the PlayerLoginEvent?

Says some methods on the player shouldnt be run as they havent fully logged on yet

.hasJoinedBefore() is a method from the extension OfflinePlayer so it should be fine maybe

[trim quest]

this is my project structure and this doesnt work for me

[proud badge]

Why Eclipse

Use IntellIJ, way better

Or wait is this not a minecraft plugin?

[eternal oxide]

cough

[proud badge]

Also what do you mean by "doesnt work"

[trim quest]

not needed

[proud badge]

It says right there on the 2nd line

This minecraft version is not supported by the plugin

[eternal oxide]

show yoru NMSHandler implementation in V1_20_R3

[remote swallow]

iirc r4 doesnt exist

[trim quest]

i guess naming issue

[remote swallow]

its r3 still

also your packages are wrong

[trim quest]

1.20.4 is R3

[remote swallow]

you need to have the nms version in the package bc otherwise it just has 1 of ur nmshandlers

[eternal oxide]

so you named your package V1_20_R3 but expect to find an nms_1_20_4

you need to go back and look at alex code again

[trim quest]

ok i will.

same error

[remote swallow]

show your packages

[remote swallow]

you didnt add the version to the package

its still me.erano.com not me.erano.com.v1_20_R1 for example

[trim quest]

im foolish

[remote swallow]

they didnt add versioned packages

[trim quest]

NOW I CAN CHOOSE.

ok

thanks guys

now it works.

[warm mica]

Nostalgia

[trim quest]

I don't like using Intellij for some reason.

[warm mica]

Use whatever you want to use

[fallow gyro]

Hi! I'm using custom heads within my plugin.

When I create a head, I use a generic player profile uuid (my own), and then set the textures to something different.

Now, though, I need to be able to get the texture from a head, in the form of an ItemStack.

For some reason, meta.getOwnerProfile() returns null, though. I know this is a bit of shitty question, so let me know if I need to provide some more info. The method where I am trying to this is attached as a screenshot.

In short, I have an enum with things like "RED_BUTTON", which I can then use to get the URL for that specific player head texture. What I need to do now is get the enum from a player head, which first requires me getting the textures for that head.

The error logging is just for debugging purposes so I can see where the method returns null. Currently it's logging "2", which indicates that getting the player profile is returning null

[tall dragon]

does any1 know if Damageable#damage fires an EntityDamageByEntityEvent?

[rapid rock]

Hey guys
I want to break any block which i touch with my pickaxe(in the sense left click)
even if its bedrock or barrier
im just not able to get it right

i tried getting location of block in BlockBreakEvent and replace it with air
any suggestions?

[sullen marlin]

pretty sure its one of the few methods historically stated to be async sage (along with sendMessage)

[proud badge]

Also, do you know is PlayerLoginEvent.getHostname() is inaccurate? People here have said it is

[sullen marlin]

I think if you use the amount,source arguments

[sullen marlin]

can you be more specific? it will say whatever the client says it connected to

[spare mason]

how can i setup hotswap?

[proud badge]

.

[spare mason]

http://hotswapagent.org/mydoc_quickstart-jdk17.html i am following this but don't know how to run a minecraft server with that flag

[dry hazel]

just put those before the -jar argument

[hazy parrot]

@proud badge said i had problems with it and you should test

[proud badge]

ok

[meager wolf]

I want to use a feature from a mod (Cobblemon) and a plugin (PlaceHolderAPI) and i am so confused and i just want to know if thats possible

[tame wolf]

Not supported

[meager wolf]

How do u use luckperms in mods ?

I mean

Not how in the way of how to add the repo

But how does it work

[slender elbow]

luckperms has forge and fabric versions

[meager wolf]

Aaah

Damn

[tender shard]

yo which one looks better? the short version or the longer one?

(I mean in general, not for this specific option)

[rough drift]

I prefer the left

it's clearer

[tender shard]

yeah me too. I'm just a bit worried it's a bit overkill to have 9 lines of comments for such a simple thing lol

[rough drift]

Better more comments than less

[tender shard]

true

[rough drift]

it's also easier to read because of the spaces

[wide coyote]

first one is better imo

[rough ibex]

Besides, you're only adding 5 or so bytes for each comment line

So it's not a big sacrifice at all

[tardy delta]

5 bytes for a line?

[rough drift]

4 bytes*

[tender shard]

it's not about the bytes lol. more about how many stuff can fit onto the screen

[rough drift]

one for the # and one for the \n

[tender shard]

the plugin is already at 3.5mb anyway lol

[rough drift]

LOL

[tardy delta]

# is ascii so id guess utf8 treats it as one byte too lol (if you wanna get nerdy)

tf is discord doing

ah stupid markup

[rough drift]

markdown

[tender shard]

is ascii!!!!!!111

[rough ibex]

Didnt see left margin, thought there was a tab

[meager wolf]

how bad is the idea of putting a plugin jar inside a mod and making the mod copy that jar and put it in the plugins directory

[tender shard]

Inside a mod?

[meager wolf]

ye as a resource

[tender shard]

Like forge/fabric or what do you mean with mod

[meager wolf]

ye

forge

[tender shard]

What‘s the purpose, forge doesnt run spigot plugins - and all those hybrid forks are quite bad

[meager wolf]

i will have a pre-built plugin inside the mod's resource, and when a condition is met, it will be copied into the plugins folder and it will be used just normally

[tender shard]

Well ofc you can do that

Just be careful if you use gradle‘s shadow plugin

It can‘t handle jar in jar

[trim quest]

anyone used maven-assembly-plugin here ?

[quiet ice]

I think everyone that ever used maven used that plugin

I'd call it quite essential even

[trim quest]

then why everyone uses shaded plugin.

[quiet ice]

the maven-shade-plugin runs after the maven-assembly-plugin FYI

[trim quest]

im trying to improving multi-module stuff. No one uses root project.

Everyone producing jars in sub jar modules.

[quiet ice]

maven-assembly-plugin generates the original "slim" jar, while the maven-shade-plugin uses that jar and adds the runtime dependencies into it

Actually, I think I'm confusing maven-assembly-plugin with maven-jar-plugin now that I think of it. Oh well, there is just too much garbage preconfigured under maven

[trim quest]

but you can make more configurations on descriptor files. with maven-assembly-plugin

sorry for my english tho. its my second lang.

i can make mistakes.

[quiet ice]

Honestly I don't quite see the reason to actually use the plugin directly

[trim quest]

getting rid of dist project.

i dont wanna use it. i will try to improve.

[quiet ice]

If you are familiar with it - sure, knock yourself out. Otherwise uh, I am not entirely sure what it offers that jar or shade does not

Anyways, I realized that I am making a severe error by staying up for any longer. Farewell!

[trim quest]

see ya.

[tender shard]

ofc you can use the assembly plugin and configure it manually

or you use the shade plugin that does everything automatically

[trim quest]

👍

[wet breach]

Typically assembly does the opposite of shade by extracting dependency jars into raw classes and groups. And from there it builds a jar, issue here is that you dont have the ability to relocate. So its handy to use when your dependencies are other projects. Maven jar doesnt include dependencies and just compiles but has the ability to sign jars.

[lament maple]

Can someone tell me whats wrong?

wdym

[slender elbow]

you set the score of §c at the beginning, and then you change it to something else at the end

same with §c:

[lament maple]

i watched a yt tutorial for it and for him it worked

yt video is the image

[slender elbow]

^

he is using a different text per line

you are trying to repeat §c twice, but it will correspond to a single entry

[lament maple]

well sometimes i gotta use the same color

how to fix

wdym by diff utf chars

[minor junco]

something i used that you can copy if you want:

    /**
     * Creates a new sequence of colors based off of previous generated colors, to enable
     * duplicate-like lines to exist within a scoreboard. This color ID is used as the prefix 
     * to enable duplicates.
     *
     * @return the next color prefix (will affect successive identifiers)
     */
    @CheckReturnValue
    public String generateNextUniqueColorPrefix() {
      StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
      int repeat = 1 + (colorCodeGenerationCursor / colors.length);
      for (int i = 0; i < repeat; ++i)
        builder.append(colors[(colorCodeGenerationCursor++) % colors.length]);
      builder.append(ChatColor.RESET);
      return builder.toString();
    }

^ above generates a new color each time you append a line to a scoreboard

[tender shard]

§1§a
§2§a
§3§a
§4§a

[minor junco]

colorCodeGenerationCursor <- is just an internal integer being incremented for each line you append

and use the result of this method invocation as the prefix of your scoreboard line

colors is an array of all colors using ChatColor.values() <- note the auxillary space here is O(n) due to arraycopy

due to the context of what it was written in

it's a content builder

for example I have this method:

    @CanIgnoreReturnValue
    public ScoreboardContentBuilder appendEmpty(int repeat) {
      while (--repeat >= 0)
        lines.add(generateNextUniqueColorId());
      return this;
    }

[young knoll]

Scoreboards are pain

[minor junco]

yeah

[quaint mantle]

Use fastboards

[echo basalt]

sumn like this

[young knoll]

It’s all fun and games until you want per player scoreboards but global teams

[quaint mantle]

Why not

??

okay...

I mean all you do is shade it into your plugin

FastBoard board = new FastBoard(player);

// Set the title
board.updateTitle(ChatColor.GOLD + "FastBoard");

// Change the lines
board.updateLines(
        "", // Empty line
        "One line",
        "",
        "Second line"
);

look how easy the api is

nice

[raven pond]

any

can help me

how to use config file

[chrome beacon]

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

[raven pond]

no no

i can't understand that ;-;

[quaint mantle]

What part

[raven pond]

Saving the default config.yml from the JAR

[quaint mantle]

Why it works or how to do it?

[raven pond]

ye

[quaint mantle]

The creation of the configuration file:

plugin.saveDefaultConfig();

saveDefaultConfig() will write the config.yml file from your plugin's jar file to the plugin's data folder. (If that folder doesn't exist it will be created) It will not overwrite an existing config file.

From that link

so

do you see your resources folder?

probably src/main/resources/

[raven pond]

ye i see

[raven pond]

write this where

[quaint mantle]

make a new file in there like this "config.yml"

[raven pond]

ok

[quaint mantle]

That is your default configuration

then to save your default config you can use saveDefaultConfig() in your main plugin class

[raven pond]

enable: true
banned-word:

• Dick
• lon
• cc
• con cac
  =)))

then?

[quaint mantle]

Here

[raven pond]

ok

then? @quaint mantle

[quaint mantle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/config-files/#:~:text=anything else happens.-,Using the Configuration File,-(top)

read here on down ig

[raven pond]

Where do I write this?
"plugin.saveConfig();"

[hazy parrot]

where ever you want

[wet breach]

Ideally put it in onEnable

It fails silently if the config is already there. However you can put it where ever you want as long as it is called at some point.

[raven pond]

oh

thank

[lament maple]

how can i access openNavigatorInv from another class

[hazy parrot]

its saveDefaultConfig, he asked about saveConfig

[wet breach]

My bad misread lmao

[buoyant viper]

looks like u can probably make this method static, but im not sure how good of an idea that may be if u keep it in that class

maybe a utility class may be a better choice depending on ur uses

[lament maple]

i just wanna run openNavigatorInv from another class yk

so i can open the inventory from any class

[drowsy helm]

no, that is static abuse

have a reference to the PlayerConnectionListener class and use PlayerConnectionListener#openNavigatorInv

[lament maple]

wdym with #

[drowsy helm]

it means its a instance method of the class

[wet breach]

^

[buoyant viper]

ik

having an instance of the listener just felt weird

[drowsy helm]

Well that method shouldn't be in that class in the first place

breaks SRP principle

[lament maple]

lemme see

I get a null pointer exeption in line 48

[drowsy helm]

two separate things

the error is for BlockListener line 48

[buoyant viper]

yeah

[drowsy helm]

and your class naming is incorrect

[buoyant viper]

thats why i had suggested like a utility instead

[drowsy helm]

yeah

[lament maple]

wdym

[drowsy helm]

class names begin with uppercase

so should be OpenNavigatorUtil

[lament maple]

Is there a problem with starting with lower case

does it cause bugs?

[drowsy helm]

its just not to the naming convention

typically lowerCamelCase is reserved for variables

so it could be misinterpreted as a variable instead of a class

[lament maple]

i can change that later on but why do i get nullpointerexpection

[drowsy helm]

whats on like 48 of BlockListener

[drowsy helm]

inside onBlockInteract

either openNavigatorInvUtil is null or event is null

[lament maple]

do you want me to show u the class of the opennavigatorinvutil

[drowsy helm]

but see thats where your naming convention is confusing is openNavigatorInvUtil in that context a static reference or a variable?

[lament maple]

thats the class of openNavigatorInvUtil

[drowsy helm]

thet class itself isnt the issue

[lament maple]

do you mean the reference to it?

[drowsy helm]

.

[drowsy helm]

fix the class name first

[lament maple]

ok

done

[drowsy helm]

this is a conflict of interest with names

im guessing openNavigatorInvUtil is null

[lament maple]

so what now

[drowsy helm]

just do
OpenNavigatorInvUtil openNavigatorInvUtil = new OpenNavigatorInvUtil ();

instead

[lament maple]

testing

sec

[drowsy helm]

I'd really recommend watching a few java tutorials before hopping straight into spigot dev, it'll help a lot

[river oracle]

Any kotlang users here know how I should go about shading the stdlib into my plugin

[lament maple]

still null pointer exepection @drowsy helm

[drowsy helm]

then your event or player is null

debug it, itll take you 2 seconds with a print statement

[lament maple]

like this or what, sorry im very confused

[drowsy helm]

no print out the value of openNavigatorInvUtil and event.getPlayer() itself

and see if its null

[grave vigil]

Should I create an entire abstract menu class for only 2 different GUI screens?

[drowsy helm]

If you plan on reusing it, I don't see why not

can always reuse in other projects

[grave vigil]

true

[lament maple]

testing

it opens now-

lemme remove the debug

and thanks

they used to be the same, with the exception of the Gif

when did that one get updated

[river oracle]

How can you disable the experimental API warning in intellij I just want to supress it with @SupressWarnings

[orchid brook]

Hi i want to create an item with level. Do i need to store them all in database and load them at server startup or is it better to store level in nbt tag of the item ?

[drowsy helm]

nbt

[river oracle]

depends what this level is.
If its cross item and is attached to some other thing a database is better.
If its that specific item NBT is the better choice, however I reccomend you use the PDC Api instead of raw NBT

?pdc

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-guide-to-1-14-persistentdataholder-api.371200/

[river oracle]

if you are pre 1.14 cry

[orchid brook]

it's an level item that can be place in a custom block. For example i have a block chicken coop and when we click in the block, it's open a gui, where u can place the item level.
the higher the level of the item, the more eggs it will generate

i think i will go for pdc

[drowsy helm]

if its for blocks its a different story

not every block has nbt data

[orchid brook]

for now im only developping the items

but for all block, i think i will go for database

item level -> pdc
block where u can put the item -> database and load all block at server startup.
This should be great right ?

[drowsy helm]

no

[river oracle]

blocks could be mapped to NBT using chunk data

[drowsy helm]

that would be extremely laggy

you would have to do it on a per chunk basis

imagine loading a million data points on startup

[river oracle]

more realistically its a couple thousand :P, but yes best practice is to load per chunk

you should never have something loaded from an unloaded chunk

[drowsy helm]

It's the principle

[orchid brook]

On every chunk load, i check if the chunk containt custom block, and if yes, then load it ?

[river oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/its-a-matter-of-principle-tawog-the-amazing-world-of-gumball-gif-26183426

[drowsy helm]

each chunk should have an array of data, cache it if its needed

[orchid brook]

oh yes yes i know my block will not be load when the chunk it's not loaded, i means at server startup i store all block in a map from the database

[drowsy helm]

don't think per block is a good idea either

[drowsy helm]

would be a huge waste of memory

[river oracle]

and when you unload chunk it should be cached for up to 30 or so seconds afterwords I'd say

that way you aren't doing unecessary DB calls

[orchid brook]

yep right

[drowsy helm]

also 'store all blocks in a map' is loading from db

It really depends how much players or world interact you expect on getting

if you don't plan on a huge playerbase then you don't really need to do it super efficiently

but once you suprass a few thousand blocks, it will start using excess memory

[river oracle]

if you are making a plugin for others it should generally use best practices

because you never know their situation fully

[rare rover]

erm, im having to do CompletableFuture.get(), isn't that hella slow. I mean this system is WAY faster than before went from 30ms -> 1.4ms but im wondering if i could make this faster

[drowsy helm]

correct, I'm assuming this is for a private server

[river oracle]

not necessarily

though if you're running get() I'd generally advise you run it asynchronously

anyways as long as get() isn't blocking the main thread which in this case it isn't, you'll be doing just fine

[rare rover]

just do thenAcceptAsync?

like i ain't worried about the timings but like i'd rather it not block the main thread:

[river oracle]

not super needed as long as you acknowledge that thread has to wait until it loads

[rare rover]

oh ye ofc

[river oracle]

but yeah that should be fine there really isn't much more you can do to optimize a DB call

mostly because you're at the mercy of your DB communication speed

[rare rover]

ye i made it as performant as possible imo: https://github.com/InvoiceMC/Munch/blob/main/src/main/kotlin/me/outspending/munch/connection/MunchDatabase.kt#L115-L126

[river oracle]

nice name :P

[rare rover]

great name ik

i was just using a thread for async at first without CompletableFuture's but this system is way faster

just more code to write for the user

[river oracle]

I'd say my number one issue with this project is AINT NO FUCKING WAY I'm importing MunchDatabase bro someone might get the wrong idea

[orchid brook]

what the best way to do it so ?

[river oracle]

oh my yes, CompletableFuture is a god send

[rare rover]

thats why you gotta do MunchConnection.create() 🙂

lmao

since MunchDatabase's constructor is internal aka protected

[river oracle]

ahhh I see

[drowsy helm]

If you really want to optimise, check out how minecraft does their block palette system

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Chunk_format

and chunk compression

[river oracle]

you can get even more optimized than that too :P

[orchid brook]

damn this seems very complicated for me

[rough ibex]

dont use the old wiki

[orchid brook]

and what about NMS ?

[rough ibex]

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Chunk_format

[orchid brook]

Wait i need NMS for checking block palettes ?

[drowsy helm]

keep it simple, for every chunk have an array for each block

you can do per block but indexing it would be a bitch

[orchid brook]

I will try thank, anyways i think i will also help me with the wildchest plugin source code

[wet breach]

With memory mapping and data saved in binary format with somewhat decent layout you can load 10 million blocks of data in 6 seconds and save it in 3

In fact with the improvements to java and more modern systems it actually may be faster now as the numbers i am quoting was from a test about 10 years ago lol

[orchid brook]

I will do something like this i think i will try:

private final List<Material> gettedBlocks = new ArrayList<>();

private void loadChunk(Chunk chunk, int[][][] paletteIndices) {
    for (int x = 0; x < 16; x++) {
        for (int y = 0; y < 256; y++) {
            for (int z = 0; z < 16; z++) {
                int paletteIndex = paletteIndices[x][y][z];
                Material blockMaterial = paletteData[paletteIndex];

         
                gettedBlocks.add(chunk.getBlock(x, y, z).getType());
            }
        }
    }
}

[wet breach]

Wouldnt make it static

[wet breach]

Your y value is flawed

It doesnt factor negatives

[orchid brook]

Oh yes, thank you. I had forgotten that now, with the update of caves, there are negative Y values. x)

[rough ibex]

good KISS approach

[quaint mantle]

Does anyone know a mc client that can tell me how delayed my packets are

[wet breach]

Tablist should show your latency level to the server

[quaint mantle]

Nah my internet is so inconsistent

I just wanna see the latency of some packets

[wet breach]

Optionally you could make a command to show this as a number. Also i think F3 shows latency as well

[echo basalt]

Interesting paper on 1.20.4 didn't remap bossbars to use components apparently?

I wanted to use minimsg for the font stuff

[young knoll]

I know adventure has a bossbar class

Because my damn ide keeps trying to import it

[echo basalt]

interesting

I'm trying to use the bukkit one tho

[remote swallow]

okay so they modify it

they dont use the bukkit class at all i think

they use there own

check the boss bar viewer class out

prob an interface

[echo basalt]

yipee ok

this api is so weird

[candid pawn]

I run a small Minecraft event server with around 600 members. I need people to help modify existing plugins/develop new plugins for events. Would anyone be interested in helping out? There's no pay or anything, this is purely voluntary work.

[echo basalt]

lol no

[drowsy helm]

600 members and no donors?

[quaint mantle]

I rather do opensource than doing that

[river oracle]

600 players and broke as hell

[drowsy helm]

you can pay the dev in exposure

[river oracle]

I need exposure. My exposure costs money though :< I'm affraid I don't seem to be a good match for your company

[candid pawn]

$7/mo

I pay $48 for server power

[drowsy helm]

so not 600 active members

[candid pawn]

600 poor members

[remote swallow]

somehow i think a server with 600 active members would have way more income than that

[candid pawn]

they pretty active

[drowsy helm]

whats your average concurrent player base

[candid pawn]

We usually get around 100 players

sometimes

it depends

[drowsy helm]

you need to sell stuff better

[candid pawn]

😭

[candid pawn]

I am trying my best

But, I got a partnership from a server host, so I can get rid of our server expenses in 5 months

We also just released a Patreon

[drowsy helm]

but bottom line, no good developer will work for free

[river oracle]

I

will work for free

[candid pawn]

Trust me I know this 😭 We had a developer working for free with us and then he went rogue and deleted everything. That's on me for trusting him tho

[river oracle]

for 20 dollars an hour

[candid pawn]

dang

thats crazy

[river oracle]

no that's reasonable lol

who the fuck are you hiring

[candid pawn]

nah, i mean thats crazy for free but for $20

[remote swallow]

for a good developer, that is reasonable

[candid pawn]

yeah, ik, nvm I regret coming here devs are toxic

[river oracle]

lol

[young knoll]

Best I can do I tree fiddy

[river oracle]

[river oracle]

deal

[drowsy helm]

$20/hr is low for a dev

[river oracle]

I'm in HighSchool so its plenty for me :P

[young knoll]

ChatGPT will do it for free!

[river oracle]

better pay than a grocery store and good enough to make my mom shut up

[remote swallow]

kek this is funny

theres 600 people in the discord and its dead as anything

[echo basalt]

Sounds like a cracked network

I'm being paid 1k+ to make a single minigame in like a week, no way you're getting that for free

[stoic sedge]

can anyone help me?
plugin not loading. I realized that if i extract the jar file and make it jar again, they stop working. any idea on what this could be? I needed to change the "depend" of 1 plugin to make it load only after another plugin

[remote swallow]

recompile the plugin from source or get the stuff it needs to load after to modify their plugin.yml to loadbefore: [Towny]

[river oracle]

you can probablly just unzip the jar than rezip it idk if you even need any special utils for that

could be wrong

[wet breach]

Devs are toxic because they dont want to work for free? Especially for a server that claims to have 600 players with 100 being regular and somehow doesnt bring in income? Nothing sketchy about that at all lmao

[stoic sedge]

i know but seems to me that when i extract files from a jar or when i turn a zip into a jar it somehow corrupts the file, because even if I change nothing in plugin.yml i get a message Could not load 'plugins/Towny.jar' in folder 'plugins' org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidDescriptionException: Invalid plugin.yml

could someone very gentle edit this jar to make depend: [SkVault]

cuz i think it's something in my pc idk, every jar i edit dont work

[slender elbow]

lol

[stoic sedge]

its true, it never works. i tested and even if i just extract jar file and then make jar again it stops working

[orchid brook]

@drowsy helm After examining the source code of WildChest, they store all chests in a map during server startup, called "unloadChest," using a database. Then, with the chunk load event, they check if the chunk has "unloadChest." If yes, they move the chest to a new map called "loadChest." When the chunk unloads, they remove it.

If I understand correctly, it's better not to store all "unloadChest" because this would consume a lot of memory unnecessarily. Using the block palette is too challenging for me. Therefore, I will simply loop through all blocks of the chunk when it is loaded, check if my block is in that chunk, and then load the block if it is.

[wet breach]

Just only extract the file, not the entire jar

Then put file back in the jar

[stoic sedge]

how do I do that? im on a mac and i cant do that here

[wet breach]

Drag and drop?

[stoic sedge]

wdym? how do i only extract "plugin.yml" from a jar file?

what app do u use

[slender elbow]

any that lets you inspect zip files

[wet breach]

Change it to zip, open it. Drag the file to desktop or whatever. Edit file. Drag it back into the archive. If it asks if you want to overwrite file click yes. Change extension back to jar. Alternatively get winrar

[rough ibex]

All .jars are .zips

that's the secret sauce

[stoic sedge]

it worked 🙂 tysm guys

im kinda noob with this stuff 😭

[rough ibex]

no worry

[quaint mantle]

lmao

[grave vigil]

What information should/shouldn't be stored in a custom yaml configuration? I am trying to check for alt accounts using ips and I don't want to put anyone's data at risk if there's something unsecure about it

[slender elbow]

"by playing on our server you accept our privacy policy"

runs

[grave vigil]

so there's no issue with storing ips on within a flatfile or anything?

[rough ibex]

IPs are just numbers

ultimately storing data innately puts it at risk

since you, the dev, are not in control of other people's setups

[quaint mantle]

just write them down on a piece of paper

[grave vigil]

I'll do that. I'll update the piece of paper live any time someone changes something and check it any time they try to do an action

[lament maple]

very late but how do you do this font

[rough ibex]

small caps

[lament maple]

wdym

[rough ibex]

thats the name

of those characters

it's not a font

[rare rover]

i mean i use this sometimes:
(ugly ik)

val small_caps = mapOf(
    "a" to "ᴀ",
    "b" to "ʙ",
    "c" to "ᴄ",
    "d" to "ᴅ",
    "e" to "ᴇ",
    "f" to "ꜰ",
    "g" to "ɢ",
    "h" to "ʜ",
    "i" to "ɪ",
    "j" to "ᴊ",
    "k" to "ᴋ",
    "l" to "ʟ",
    "m" to "ᴍ",
    "n" to "ɴ",
    "o" to "ᴏ",
    "p" to "ᴘ",
    "q" to "ǫ",
    "r" to "ʀ",
    "s" to "ꜱ",
    "t" to "ᴛ",
    "u" to "ᴜ",
    "v" to "ᴠ",
    "w" to "ᴡ",
    "x" to "x",
    "y" to "ʏ",
    "z" to "ᴢ"
)

// Convert text to small letters (small caps)
fun toSmallCaps() = text.map { small_caps[it.toString().lowercase()] ?: it }.joinToString("")``` or just <https://lingojam.com/FancyTextGenerator>

[rough ibex]

doesn't look too ugly

simple, easy, readable.

[lament maple]

looks weird for me

[rough ibex]

that is not small caps

I don't know what that is...?

[lament maple]

oop

i used some generator online#

[rough ibex]

try lingojam

[lament maple]

uhm

what one is the... small caps one

@rough ibex

[rough ibex]

I don't know

just try examples from the kotlin code above

[lament maple]

tried it and its exactly the same

[rough ibex]

are you using any other resource packs

[lament maple]

nope

minecraft standard

[rough ibex]

paste what you have

[lament maple]

§6§lʟᴇɢɪᴛᴘʟᴀʏ

[rough ibex]

yeah that's right

[lament maple]

weird

[rough ibex]

what MC version

[lament maple]

1.8

might be that

[rough ibex]

...

[lament maple]

but anyway

[rough ibex]

Yes.

you are using a 7+ year old version

yes it is missing a lot of stuff

[lament maple]

do you know how to let me show the luckperms placeholder in my scoreboard?

[rough ibex]

what scoreboard plugin

[lament maple]

coded

[rough ibex]

also 1.8 is going to be outdated for a lot of stuff

then hook into placeholderapi

[lament maple]

how sorry never did that

[rough ibex]

look it up

https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/

[lament maple]

hook placeholder api into my plugin?

[remote swallow]

yup

[lament maple]

its being red marked

[rough ibex]

did you reload maven changes?

[lament maple]

hold up

yea now works

So.. what i did is put it in my pom with no red marks. Then i rebuilded the plugin and put it in plugins but its still not working

[drowsy helm]

did you implement the code

or you just added a dependency

[lament maple]

do i only need to add the on enable thing

[drowsy helm]

you have to translate any message you want with placeholders

[lament maple]

uhm wha-

how do i

[drowsy helm]

read the guide

https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/developers/using-placeholderapi/

[lament maple]

oof ok

Thanks it works, could you tell me how i can translate & to § so its actually a color

[drowsy helm]

you dont

[remote swallow]

ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes

[drowsy helm]

use ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes

[lament maple]

where should i put it

[remote swallow]

use the return value of it

[lament maple]

never used it uh

[remote swallow]

use the return value

it takes a string and returns a string

[drowsy helm]

String myString = "blak blah blah"
myString = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', myString);

dont use § in your code

[lament maple]

ah

ty

yall are life saving xd

I use this but it still shows with &4 yk

@drowsy helm

[carmine mica]

strings are immutable

[drowsy helm]

youre not re assigning it

[lament maple]

huh

OH

OH

OH

stupid me

thank you

random question but any idea how i can make the scoreboard more pretty xD?

[drowsy helm]

lmao

maybe more spacing?

im not good with making things look good

[lament maple]

hm alralr

let me see what i can do

[drowsy helm]

as in horizontal spacing

[agile anvil]

Also use more lighter colors ?

[buoyant viper]

what event is triggered when someone hits a projectile (ie. hitting a fireball back at a ghast)? EntityDamageByEntityEvent?

[lost matrix]

I would try the PlayerInteractEntityEvent

Nvm thats just for right clicks i guess?

EntityDamageByEntityEvent seems like a decent guess

[buoyant viper]

tested, it is in fact EntityDamageByEntityEvent

[teal venture]

Is it smarter to store player data in JSON or YAML Files, for example I am creating a teams plugin and wanting to Store their team data.

[eternal oxide]

depends if you want it easily readable/editable

If you do then YAML. If you don;t care, then YAML 😛

However, why persist teams data?

[teal venture]

Wym persist teams data?

Like I want players to create a team and store info, like factions kinda.

[eternal oxide]

are you wanting to manually edit the data in file?

[dry hazel]

just use a proper database

[tender shard]

best way is to just give the admin an option so they can choose from (at least)

• json / yaml
• sqlite (or h2)
• mysql

there's other fancy things like postgres and mongodb but 99% of people won't have access to any such things

[rough drift]

Configuration option

save-type: JSON / YAML / SQLITE / H2 / MYSQL and then you have a section for credentials (probably should have a convenient way of setting it up)

[glossy venture]

mongo is free to set up

like on their servers

with an account

[rough drift]

Do I use .jar, -remapped.jar or -remapped-obf.jar

[eternal oxide]

shortest name

[rough drift]

ty

[minor junco]

Supabase is a perfectly valid BaaS and Postgres host

It's free tier is really good

[heavy void]

Hey guys, i made a database system which i manipulate everything in memory and i just send it to the database when the plugin is shutting down.

This is recommended?

[rotund ravine]

Sure

Some periodic saves or smth is also great

Saving on write if it’s small things are great too

[heavy void]

In case of crash?

[rotund ravine]

Ye

[ivory sleet]

if you're ambitiuous you may wanna do optimistic saving

but well, otherwise jantucks advice is 100% on top

[heavy void]

Ty guys

[lean pumice]

my intellij in bugged, i dont get the suggestions when i write a code, how i can fix it?

[river oracle]

Try invalidating caches

File > invalidate caches

Select the top 3 checkboxes and press invalidate

[lean pumice]

not work

[ivory sleet]

thats fine unless you wanna really scale things drastically, in which contention can become high

[river oracle]

Then re-enable suggestions you disabled it :P

Ypu gotta look that one up tho

?google

[undone axle]

Google your question before asking it:
https://www.google.com/

[next plume]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the NMS obfuscated, Mojang, and Spigot mappings in 1.20.4.
When I reference a class in a plugin, I use the Spigot mappings?
And then does Spigot remap that to the obfuscated mapping to use when running the server?

[young knoll]

When you refrence it you use mojang mappings

[chrome beacon]

^^ well if you've set that up correctly

[young knoll]

And then specialsource remaps it to obfuscated when you build

[next plume]

In this case, I'm using TinyProtocol, which is using reflection.

It works with the Spigot name, not the Mojang name.

[young knoll]

oof

Yeah reflection doesn't get remapped

[next plume]

So how does it work with reflection where I specify the Spigot name in the plugin, but the server is running with the obfuscated names?

[chrome beacon]

Does Spigot still use Spigot mapped classes with obfuscated methods/fields

haven't checked in a while

[young knoll]

Don't ask me what's going on in there

It's a mess

[remote swallow]

i think so

isnt it like a mixture of everything that was spigot mapped before retains that name with obsfucated internals but new stuff is just full obf

[chrome beacon]

I think they just map the class names

I'll check

[next plume]

Or is it that Spigot uses the Mojang names now?

[chrome beacon]

Not during runtime

[remote swallow]

@young knoll when are you converting spigot and craftbukkit to mojmaps

[young knoll]

If I knew how :p

[remote swallow]

patch all the patches

[chrome beacon]

alright so I did a quick look, the class names are mapped (with Spigot mappings), the fields/methods are not

[next plume]

So what does Spigot remap and when does that remapping happen?

[chrome beacon]

It remaps the obfuscated class names

and it happens when you run BuildTools

[cursive falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/lizard-dance-cute-mod-gif-13577775

[next plume]

I mean for a plugin.

[remote swallow]

for plugin you use the special source maven plugin

[chrome beacon]

If you want to remap from Mojang mappings you use the special source maven plugin

and it remaps during packaging of the jar

[next plume]

The plugin jar, right?

[chrome beacon]

yes

[next plume]

Remaps to ofuscated?

[chrome beacon]

yes

[next plume]

Now with the reflection TinyProtocol is doing, there's no Spigot remapping. Anything has to be part of the TinyProtocol code, right?

[chrome beacon]

well as I said the class names are mapped

fields/methods are obfuscated

[next plume]

I'm not using specialsaucesource

[remote swallow]

gotta use spigot/obsfucated maps then

[chrome beacon]

^^

[next plume]

So the code is like this, with a Spigot name:
private Class<?> OUT_KEEP_ALIVE_PACKET = Reflection.getClass("net.minecraft.network.protocol.common.ClientboundKeepAlivePacket");

ClientboundKeepAlivePacket is Spigot mapping.

[remote swallow]

for 1.20.4 they have identical package and name

https://mappings.cephx.dev/1.20.4/net/minecraft/network/protocol/common/ClientboundKeepAlivePacket.html

[next plume]

So if the Spigot jar uses obfuscated names, how does the above code get the right class?

[chrome beacon]

It doesn't use obfuscated names for classes

I've said this so many times now??

[young knoll]

I mean presumably it can be automated, I'm just not sure how :p

[chrome beacon]

only fields and methods

[next plume]

Oh, Buildtools remaps to the Spigot names, but it keeps them in the final Spigot jar? I thought that remapping was just for the specialsource stuff.

[chrome beacon]

hm is spigot actually just using Mojang class names

[remote swallow]

its a jank thing

[chrome beacon]

does look like it

[next plume]

Since 1.20.2 they use Mojang's

I think

[remote swallow]

iirc someone said its like older classes are spigot mappings, while the newer or changed classes use mojmaps

[chrome beacon]

alr

[next plume]

For that class above, the Spigot name changed from 1.20.1 to 1.20.2

[young knoll]

correct

[next plume]

But once Buildtools creates the Spigot (now the same as Mojang) class names, those class names stay in the final Spigot jar?

[chrome beacon]

yes

[next plume]

OK, I think it's starting to make sense.

But I thought those mappings were "only for development purposes" and can't be used in production. Or does that not apply to class names?

[river oracle]

Spigot maps aren't use during server running

Everything is put down to obfuscated mappings

[chrome beacon]

Not class names

They're still mapped

[river oracle]

Ahhh well ig ^

So weird :P

[young knoll]

I wonder if you could run special source on cb with it set to remap from spigot to mojmap

[remote swallow]

@worldly ingot you have loads of free time, fix it. Make cb and spigot use mojmaps for patches then convert every single spigot mapped class name to be the actual mojmap

[remote swallow]

?tryitandsee

[worldly ingot]

Where the hell did you get the idea that I have loads of free time?

[remote swallow]

you just do

hypixel only takes 9 minutes a week

[river oracle]

Guh fine ill make the remapper

[remote swallow]

i was going to do that today you just reminded me

[river oracle]

Then figure that shit out

[next plume]

So with specialsource, you can use the Spigot/Mojang method names, even though they're not in the final Spigot jar file?

[river oracle]

Yes

[next plume]

OK, I think I have it stright now.

Now to figure out what new shit Paper is doing with some other version/remapping stuff they've cooked up.

[remote swallow]

with special source you get full mojmaps, class names and variables but when speical source runs it goes to spigot obf

[next plume]

https://github.com/PaperMC/testing/releases/tag/no-relocation

[river oracle]

Mpjang doesn't map variables lol

[remote swallow]

what

i swear thery do

[river oracle]

Nope

[dry hazel]

no they don't

[river oracle]

Parchment does

[chrome beacon]

^^

[river oracle]

But that's third party

[chrome beacon]

They map fields and methods

not variables

[remote swallow]

i can brain, i mean class fields

[dry hazel]

they don't map local vars and parameter names

[river oracle]

Still confused why we relocate CB

[remote swallow]

who knows

probably something old

[river oracle]

@worldly ingot so epic told me you got a lot of free time ✨️

[worldly ingot]

iirc it was for two purposes. To ensure that people using server internals kept checking that their code was functional on newer versions, and to dissuade them from even using internals to begin with

At least that's what I've gathered over the years

[young knoll]

But it leads to bad design

They said so!

[river oracle]

^^^^

:P

[worldly ingot]

It should have led people TO DESIGN AND CONTRIBUTE API

[young knoll]

Okay but you'll never have full api coverage :p

[river oracle]

Meh some things shouldn't be api but yeah most stuff could be contributed the main issue is designing code for yourself vs stuff that will likely never ever be removed from the server

[remote swallow]

i think some dmca screwed that

[river oracle]

E.g. when designing inventory api for my own lib I through that together in like 10 minutes work s great but for bukkit it's a pain in the ass

[chrome beacon]

I've always found the bukkit inventory api to be a pain to deal with

[river oracle]

It's because it doesn't reflect internals at all

[chrome beacon]

Yeah I know

[worldly ingot]

It probably used to

[chrome beacon]

I've made mods with custom inventories, so much easier

[worldly ingot]

Just like how Material.WATCH for clocks was accurate at the time as well

[river oracle]

I don't even know if I agree with being able to create inventories but we are kinda stuck with the weird patches I've done

[river oracle]

I have an api in my lib that wraps AbstractContainerMeni :P

It's 10 billion times nicer in a few cases

[chrome beacon]

Open source?

[river oracle]

Yes it is

[chrome beacon]

link?

[river oracle]

On phone gimme a minute

[remote swallow]

pineapple?!?

[river oracle]

Idk where it went panic

💀

[remote swallow]

its on 1.0.0 prep

[river oracle]

No it's not

Somehow

[remote swallow]

i see it

[river oracle]

I don't wtf

[river oracle]

It's in nms

[remote swallow]

oh

[river oracle]

My nms stuff is gone 💀

[remote swallow]

someone reverted it

[river oracle]

I think I have a backup somewhere

[river oracle]

Oh shit

I need to revert that revert lol

Well that is later me problem

Thank god for git

Otherwise it'd be gone lol

@chrome beacon I'll ping you once I fix this shit lol gonna have to wait till after class unfortunately

[remote swallow]

review my pr when you do

[river oracle]

Good that

[river oracle]

git cherrypick time coming soon 🥳

[proud badge]

Yall whats an arithmetic exception, chatgpt seems to crash whenever I send it the stacktrace

[icy beacon]

Hey, I am planning on making the backend of my rest api open source. Is there anything wrong with the fact that I will be exposing my password hashing method and database queries?

[worldly ingot]

Usually just divide by 0

[proud badge]

Hmm

Ok thanks I see

[worldly ingot]

Exposing password hashing is a very bad idea. That makes cracking passwords significantly easier. Database queries... depends.

[chrome beacon]

Don't expect ChatGPT to understand your stacktrace

[worldly ingot]

I guess it depends on your table structure. If it's a password table especially, might expose how you store passwords which is also another vulnerability

[icy beacon]

How do I go about it then? Do I gitignore my queries and password hashing?

[worldly ingot]

If it's just standard data though then it's probably not a huge deal. Depends on how secretive you want your table structure to be :p

I would maybe throw it behind another library or something

[icy beacon]

Yeah that'd work

[slender elbow]

bcrypt 🙏

[icy beacon]

Though I don't actually see why exposing password hashing would be bad

[slender elbow]

also always salt

[rotund ravine]

Use some magic salt env variable 👌🏻

[worldly ingot]

Well if your passwords are leaked, it's pretty easy to brute force reverse if you have the hashing algorithm

[icy beacon]

Argon for example gives a prefix that identifies that it's argon

So if a bad actor gets access to the database they already know

[worldly ingot]

If you give me aheuilfawbcawjkl;ehjcawlke, I can now just try standard passwords, run it through your hasher and figure out if it matches

[icy beacon]

Ofc

[worldly ingot]

If I find a match, ez, I know what the password is now

A salt would help though yes lol

[icy beacon]

Well in my case I use argon

[slender elbow]

no, it should be different per user

[icy beacon]

And an argon string is like $argon$something

So I don't see how hiding the method would help if it's already evident

[rotund ravine]

Idk encryption 🤷🏽‍♂️ Listen to emily

[slender elbow]

so even if they have the same password the hash result is different

[icy beacon]

Yes my salt is user-dependent

[slender elbow]

if you have a "global" salt then the hashes would be the same

and you can infer that they have the same password

[icy beacon]

Thoughts?

[worldly ingot]

That's how you know to make fun of those users 😎

OR to let them know that user x has the same password as you

As any responsible front-end developer should do

(/s)

[icy beacon]

"This password is already taken by user391094. Please create a different one"

[slender elbow]

you can certainly make the algorithm itself public but not the configuration, e.g. how you apply the salt or the algorithm parameters

[icy beacon]

Isn't allat also included in an argon string?\

[slender elbow]

like "yeah we use xyz algo" but without the specific details of how you apply it, basically dictionary attacks are rendered useless

[slender elbow]

i love this

[icy beacon]

Example: $argon2i$v=19$m=16,t=2,p=1$ZGVidWdQVFIxMjM0$ux0G0NjPzf+UDMEThlnT3w

Work factor, memory, parallelism, something else idk

Is it still safer to just librarize this?

Not my string btw, an example from https://debugpointer.com/security/argon2-hash-overview (just in case lol)

i only know so much, so

That's fair, thx irregardless

I'll just apply choco's idea

I checked and I don't see any businesses using the name

just a movie of course, but movies and businesses can't infringe on each others names as they are not in the same categories 🙂

so its all good

I still need to earn the money to get an official LLC, but we are getting there slowly but surely

        return !equals(other) && (this.major > other.major) || (this.major == other.major && this.minor > other.minor) || (this.major == other.major && this.minor == other.minor && this.patch > other.patch) || (this.major == other.major && this.minor == other.minor && this.patch == other.patch && this.modifier >= other.modifier);
``` any ideas on how I could simplify this boolean expression I've never been a boolean algebra savant.

Basically just needs to check if one version is older or newer than the other

e.g. 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT is newer than 0.5.9-SNAPSHOT

or 1.0.0-RELEASE is newer than 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

you can ignore the strings at the end they are actually collapsed into bytes

    private static final BiMap<Byte, String> MODIFIER_LABEL = ImmutableBiMap.of(
            (byte) 0b100, "release",
            (byte) 0b11, "hotfix",
            (byte) 0b10, "snapshot",
            (byte) 0b01, "beta",
            (byte) 0b00, "alpha"
    );

there is :P

I just wanted to see if I could simplify the boolean expression

e.g. reduction of term comparissons

using boolean algebra

[wet breach]

the easiest way to do this check is to remove the dots and make it a number

now you only have to do a single check

[river oracle]

true

didn't think about that easy solution

that'll probably be easiest here

[wet breach]

then your expression turns into number >= number

[river oracle]

couldn't you get multiple versions ot add up to the same number that way 🤔 ig not if I bitshift

[wet breach]

you don't add the numbers together

all you are doing is removing the dots

so it makes a complete number

[river oracle]

ahhh genius lol that was a stupid question

[wet breach]

so, something like 1.20.4 becomes 1204

[river oracle]

hmhm yeah smart

in my case 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT collapses into 1003 and 1.0.0-RELEASE 1004 so it works perfectly

I just did a string format idc about speed that much here

its done like once or twice

and its cached

[wet breach]

.replace(char,"") is the way to do it

lol

[wet breach]

ideally you would keep snapshot versions in between the release versions without them ever crossing over

[orchid trout]

difference between enterprise and normie code?

[wet breach]

IE, you shouldn't have a 1.0.0-snapshot

it would be 1.1.0-snapshot or 1.0.1-snapshot

this way you can't have a snapshot and release at the same version number

[remote swallow]

wouldnt you get 1.0.0-snapshot which is testing, demo stuff and checking new stuff then you have -release which is the full version

[orchid trout]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1007330747440435260/1199074942105423933/gos.gif

[wet breach]

well, if you don't bother changing the version number yeah

you can setup the profiles to be appropriate versions

[orchid trout]

so if i open a compnay i can call my code enterprise

[wet breach]

while quality isn't always there, the biggest difference between enterprise and normal code is that enterprise is more geared to scaling or large scale applications

normal code isn't designed this way typically

[wet breach]

don't have to open a company to do so, you could just call it Enterprise whatever lmao

[orchid trout]

when you say scaling youre telling me to imagine a server with 8 quadridicilion players using my plugin?

[wet breach]

well there is different types of scaling

there is horizontal scaling and vertical scaling

horizontal scaling is where you design your application to run on multiple machines

[wet breach]

here you are thinking about vertical scaling

where you add more power

[orchid trout]

so if i have hardcoded connection to mongodb its not horizontal scaling and i should retire

what do i do when i add like 5 features to my plugin and i get lost in the sauce

[wet breach]

well, when you use multiple machines, the purpose is to have all those machines either perform the same work but different pieces to complete it faster, or you use it like load balancing. Duplicating your application to do the exact same work isn't really scaling not in the traditional sense anyways

[bleak eagle]

https://paste.rs/XjqII.java
and the plugin errors out wiiith...

org.bukkit.plugin.IllegalPluginAccessException: Unable to find handler list for event org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerEvent. Static getHandlerList method required!```
i completely understand _why_ this error occurs - i should not use generic `PlayerEvents` and `EntityEvents` but rather specific ones like `PlayerMoveEvent`, `AsyncPlayerChatEvent`, `EntityDamageEvent`, etc, etc...
but that gets really messy really fast, and i just want to prevent players from doing ANYTHING at all before they've logged in. handling these generic events by checking their type and casting them to whatever i need them to be seems like a really clean solution, and i just wish this worked.
any suggestions on how to do this in a nice fashion?

not anymore i guess xD

it said something about rate limits

they are indeed enabled

might take a minute or so for it to show up

there you go 🙂

got it

enjoy now

whoops

there we go

probably better to just use the paste site lol

[bleak eagle]

oh well

[wet breach]

oh nvm its not as large as I thought

[bleak eagle]

yeah no it's pretty small

any ideas either way? i don't want to @EventHandler @EventHandler @EventHandler @EventHandler @EventHandler @EventHandler - but is it really the only way?

[wet breach]

don't think your generic event is going to work

[wet breach]

Most of us decent dev's have our IDE's configured to do it for us 😛

[bleak eagle]

it doesn't.. it doesn't implement the required getHandlerList

Hi I have a problem with custom entities on my Minecraft server, as soon as I pathfinder of my custom entity finds me and starts following me, if I move away from the mob by more than about 16 blocks it disappears. And I have an error in the console. If you need more information please do not hesitate and thank you for your help.

[wet breach]

this would be related to your server settings for entity tracking range

also, how far away before an entity ai stuff stops, and chunks unloading etc

[neat wolf]

it's literally a mc error

[bleak eagle]

elaborate

[wet breach]

the ideal way to solve it if its a public plugin would be to not let the entity get further then 16 blocks away

[rotund ravine]

It’s paper though

[neat wolf]

but how can this lead to destroying the mob?

[wet breach]

if its not a public plugin and on a server you control, just modify your server settings

[wet breach]

because it unloads

like if the chunk unloads, so does the mob

and it basically dies

but temporarily

also, custom mobs don't come back as being custom either

[neat wolf]

but why would there be an error as if minecraft had not expected the mob to unload?

[wet breach]

so you have to track where your custom mobs get unloaded so that when they come back, you can ensure to kill the fake one and replace it with the real mob 😉

[neat wolf]

OK thanks

I'm going to spend my evening debugging

[wet breach]

well its an MC error, but one you are creating by invoking a method

[neat wolf]

yeah but it's strange the error is not reported to any plugin line

[wet breach]

well you are using paper

its does funny things sometimes

[neat wolf]

i will try with spigot :D

[bleak eagle]

generic events can be registered this way? or do you want me to loop thru a list and register each one/something similar?

[obsidian drift]

Shouldn't this be true by default?

[wet breach]

Generic events typically don't work except for a couple because they are not implemented themselves or called rather extended from

[bleak eagle]

ok so to get it straight, there is no cleaner way than defining a million handlers for every player event i can think of?

[obsidian drift]

Oh wait I think I read the comment wrong

[wet breach]

well if all you are wanting to do is to stop them from doing things then you only need just a handful

[bleak eagle]

ahh the well known PlayerArmorStandManipulateEvent

anyways thanks for the help xD

[wet breach]

a good way to stop them from doing stuff without needing to do much, is set them to spectator

[bleak eagle]

oooh that's actually a great idea

spectator + PlayerMoveEvent and PlayerChatEvent cancelled

[wet breach]

then from here its a matter of just keeping them in place and chat 😉

there you go

[bleak eagle]

what about the teleport feature in spectator?

guess that's caught by moveevent too

[wet breach]

spectators can teleport?

[wet breach]

pretty sure it is, but there is also a teleport event

[bleak eagle]

yeah, if you press a hotbar number on the keyboard a little menu shows up

i don't know how it behaves for non-ops though

[wet breach]

time to test it, it seems 😉

[bleak eagle]

i'll also have to handle commandpreprocessevent to only allow the /register and /login commands

[wet breach]

or just use permissions?

[bleak eagle]

it's in case someone gets into an op account and runs commands they shouldn't be able to run, before logging in

[wet breach]

remove ops

[bleak eagle]

small private SMP server

it's just inconvenient

[wet breach]

worldguard has a setting where if ops leave they are de-opped and require being re-opped

[bleak eagle]

but i don't have ops atm anyways, it was a general example

[wet breach]

to re-op you have to manually run the command

so in this manner you can relegate it behind a permission that can only be added to the player object once they authenticate

server commands have permissions too

[bleak eagle]

as in vanilla commands?

[wet breach]

yes

[bleak eagle]

K neato

[wet breach]

bukkit.commands.op

I think is what it is

[rotund ravine]

Didn’t they decommission most of the bukkit converted permissions and commands to just use vanilla a while ago

[wet breach]

what do you mean?

vanilla never had permissions o.O

as far as I am aware the default permission for stock server commands should still exist

[rotund ravine]

Idk someone should try
