[eternal night]

horrible people would say, add a --gui flag or something

[bleak eagle]

unacceptable

[tender shard]

I wanted BT to always try to open the GUI unless any arg is given

[eternal night]

that sounds pretty not smart

[tender shard]

Why not?

[eternal night]

no args builds latest ?

[river oracle]

sounds fine to me lo what's wrong with that?

[eternal night]

you'd be breaking behaviour

[river oracle]

if you're on a CLI it wouldn't open the GUI

[tender shard]

Then people shall use —rev latest

[eternal night]

that isn't what alex suggested

[eternal night]

breaking things for 0 gain is not very spigot my friend

[bleak eagle]

it's also one of the reasons why so much crud and legacy code builds up everywhere

[river oracle]

fr if you wanna break shit and deperecate random stuff please see yourself to the paper discord

[eternal night]

exactly

but like, given this shit might be run in CI, breaking behaviour like that is just

why

[tender shard]

Who has a graphics environment on their ci

[eternal night]

the current way is fine

[bleak eagle]

simple, no gui by default, unless ran with --gui (and perhaps a .bat that just runs the jar with --gui for less technically inclined users just trying to compile it)

not the other way around which is being done currently

[eternal night]

I mean, I run this locally prior to some of my automated tests

its not a full CI

but it would still explode

for 0 gain

like, literally 0

if people can type java -jar BuildTools.jar into their shell in the right directory, what is the point in opening a gui

[tender shard]

One advantage would be that itd work for @bleak eagle

[bleak eagle]

so true

[eternal night]

They would be prefectly fine with a --gui flag

[bleak eagle]

i could make a pr

[eternal night]

probably a nice idea

[bleak eagle]

it just avoids all of these .desktop launcher shenanigans

[tender shard]

I wanted to add that but others didnt

[bleak eagle]

start a fork called NeoBuildTools and add it there

then encourage everyone to switch to it

[eternal night]

okay ? xD ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[neat bone]

Can someone help me with a oneblock?

[tender shard]

?ask

[undone axle]

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

[bleak eagle]

yeah just write out the question in full so people can see it

[neat bone]

ok

[bleak eagle]

no point in asking to ask

[neat bone]

I need help to be able to create a oneblock on a server with its respective plugins and such please

[eternal night]

Are you asking for someone to setup a server network with you 😅

that smells more like a question for the forum

[neat bone]

eh no

[bleak eagle]

find some oneblock plugin and chuck it in plugins/

then follow the respective docs for that plugin on how to set it up fully?

[neat bone]

I have the AOneBlock

[tender shard]

#help-server

[neat bone]

and I can't configure it

[bleak eagle]

yeah this channel is more about the development of spigot itself

like the server software

[eternal night]

well or plugin development

[neat bone]

oh

[bleak eagle]

if you need help with configuring plugins ask there either way

[neat bone]

sorry

y very sorry

[bleak eagle]

i will help you though

just not to flood this chat

[rare rover]

erm, what's another way to access a pickaxe's data every block? Currently accessing its PDC everytime which i heard isn't recommended

although idk what else to do

memory? Not sure how to fully set that up doe

this is being executed every block:

fun executeAllEnchants(
        player: Player,
        playerData: PlayerData,
        blockLocation: Location,
        random: Random
    ): EnchantResult {
        val itemMeta = player.inventory.itemInMainHand.itemMeta
        val dataContainer: PersistentDataContainer = itemMeta.persistentDataContainer

        val connection = player.getConnection()
        val enchantResult = EnchantResult()
        pickaxeEnchants.forEach { enchant ->
            val enchantmentLevel: Int = enchant.getEnchantmentLevel(dataContainer)
            if (enchantmentLevel > 0) {
                val result: EnchantResult =
                    enchant.execute(
                        player,
                        playerData,
                        connection,
                        dataContainer,
                        enchantmentLevel,
                        blockLocation,
                        random
                    )

                enchantResult += result
            }
        }

        return enchantResult
    }```

how do i register a command in the main class

i got a command in the main class and i want to register that

[uneven iris]

Hey guys, I'm new to plugin development, but I have a specific function I need for the minecraft server I run:

• Each player is on one of 5 of the vanilla /team teams. [extralife, firstlife, secondlife, thirdlife, spectator]
• I need for every team except thirdlife to have keep inventory enabled
• However, thirdlife needs to have keep inventory disabled in some way - they need to drop items on death.
• I'm using this plugin for the life system similar to Grian's serieses - https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/last-life.91586/
  sorry if this is too specific or impossible, always used prebuilt plugins, but there are none for this purpose soo... this might also be possible with command blocks

There's also the placeholder %lastlife_life% which could mean keep inventory is off if set to 1 and on otehrwise per player

[spiral kindle]

same as in outher clases register it and then do onComand. sure you wanna do that thogh?

so like getCommand("speed").setExecutor(this);
and then add a onComand methode. highly recomend to just make a second class thogh.

[bleak eagle]

this can be done!

you can use event listeners - i'll write up a quick example for you

[uneven iris]

yoo ty!! i really have no idea how plugins work in general so--

server is paper 1.20.2 if that's important

[bleak eagle]

nah it's been an api feature forever

you should be able to use it

[zinc moat]

yeah im sure

[spiral kindle]

yea as i saud getCommand("speed").setExecutor(this); should work as far as i know

[zinc moat]

alr

[worldly ingot]

If you have a command in your plugin class, the plugin class is already the default executor

You don't need to re-set it to this

JavaPlugin is a CommandExecutor already, any commands you register from your plugin.yml will automatically call your JavaPlugin#onCommand() :p

[spiral kindle]

intresting...

[quaint mantle]

There is any guide to change player skins?

[grim hound]

Does anyone know where "can't deliver chat message check server logs" comes from?

[zinc moat]

    @EventHandler
    public void onWalk(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
        if (!ParticleTrail) {
            Player player = event.getPlayer();
            World world = player.getWorld();
            world.spawnParticle(org.bukkit.Particle.REDSTONE, event.getFrom(), 3,0,0.5,0);
        }
    }

This is giving me this error (the message.txt)

does anyone know why its erroring

[spiral kindle]

I think you need to convert it to a color

[zinc moat]

yh but how

[spiral kindle]

try Color.fromRGB(3, 0, 0.5), 0

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Particle.DustOptions.html

[zinc moat]

0.5 is erroring

[spiral kindle]

oh yea seems to be a class so need to make an objekt

[eternal oxide]

pass it a new DustOptions

for data

[spiral kindle]

DustOptions dustOptions = new DustOptions(Color.fromRGB(255, 0, 0), 1); // Example: Red color, size 1
world.spawnParticle(Particle.REDSTONE, player.getLocation(), 100, dustOptions);

[zinc moat]

alr thanks give me a minute

[spiral kindle]

and i dont thing doubles work

[spiral kindle]

yea you need to do 100 , dust options

[zinc moat]

alr

nothing erroring

ima compile upload and reload 1 sec

weird

it works

no errors

but it doesnt show at the player

[spiral kindle]

the 100 is the number of particels

[zinc moat]

yeash i know

but like

the particles dont show

nvm

it works

[spiral kindle]

nice

[fluid river]

Minecraft server runs on UDP, right?

[eternal oxide]

tcp

[fluid river]

tcp only?

[spiral kindle]

why would it make sense?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[fluid river]

k, both lan and dedicated run on TCP?

[eternal oxide]

yes

it's the same

[fluid river]

The only difference is Minecraft uses network Discovery for lan

And direct messaging with online

Am i right?

[eternal oxide]

for lan teh client runs up an instance of teh server, same as dedicated

[fluid river]

For each server added to server list, client sends a status packet

and if server replies in certain amount of time, displays amount of players and ping. If not - red cross.

[zinc moat]

is there a way to get command arguments and use them outside of the command?

[fluid river]

args

in onCommand

[zinc moat]

i know

[fluid river]

Or you mean commandmap stuff

[zinc moat]

nvm

[spiral kindle]

safe them in a varable?

[fluid river]

Am i right?

@eternal oxide

[eternal oxide]

correct

[fluid river]

But also when client opens multiplayer tab, he sends a check packet to his network every several seconds

[plush gulch]

How do I get the direction a player is moving in? Like north, west, south or east

[fluid river]

And so he sees servers of his network users

[spiral kindle]

I mean the status also works with lan worlds

[fluid river]

Yeah but you don't add lan servers to serverlist

They are displayed anyways

Even if you haven't entered ip and port in add server tab

[spiral kindle]

I mean if you are in the same network sure. but if you are not it works jsut as well

[fluid river]

So well, the only difference is just endpoint

For lan its broadcast

And for dedicated servers its server ip

[spiral kindle]

for lan it is both

[fluid river]

I don't rly get the point of directly checking ip of a lan server

If you can just ask lan to provide every server which is running

[spiral kindle]

if you want to connect to someones lan world and you are not in the lan obviosly

It works exactly same as a normal server

So if player A in Netowrk A wants to connect over the internet to lanworld of Player B in netowrk B you see it same as a normal server if you add it

[fluid river]

Yeah but you just can't access another lans

[spiral kindle]

you cant acess anouther lan but anouther lan server

The "lan server" is just a normal server protocall wise with the only addition being the broadcasting in local netowrk

you can just as well connect to it from outside if you do the port forwarding

[fluid river]

Im talking about no portforwarding situation

[zinc moat]

asdenjer

are you busy

[spiral kindle]

I mean then you cant run a server at all

[fluid river]

open world for multiplayer

Start hamachi

voila

I guess

[spiral kindle]

vpns dont count. neither do mods

[spiral kindle]

why?

[fluid river]

why tho

Dont they act as fake lan

[zinc moat]

i need some help again

[spiral kindle]

caus we where talking about the netowrking protocoll not how to play Minecraft

[fluid river]

I mean i'm currently testing my game using vpn

With a friend's pc

[zinc moat]

so this is the code and basically it works fine but when other people are on the server they also get the particle's but when i enable/disable it it also does it for the other people who have access to the particle trail how do i make it so like it only does it for 1 person not everyone when toggling the command

[fluid river]

So you say i can't connect to my brother's pc in the next room if he don't port forward over TCP, right?

[eternal oxide]

you need a ParticleTrail setting per player

[spiral kindle]

If you want a VPN lan game to show up in the broadcast thing you need to change it to the highest priority in windoes first.

[spiral kindle]

No

Wtf are you talking about port forwarding has nothing to do with a lan

[wet breach]

port forwarding is only for connections between something inside of the network and outside since the ip addresses inside a network is not the same as outside

[spiral kindle]

It only applies when you have a router in the equation

[wet breach]

connecting to a system inside the network from another system in the network does not require port forwarding

[fluid river]

thats what i'm talking bout

[zinc moat]

yeah im new to spigot and java i know the basics but i dont know how todo that tho

[eternal oxide]

pseudojava if (!event.getPlayer().getPDC().get(yourPlayersSetting))

[spiral kindle]

you need to get the player on comand. then you save that in a varable in your class. then you acess that in your oncomand with an if

[fluid river]

So 2 PCs in one room connect to each other over LAN with no problems right?

[eternal oxide]

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[wet breach]

idk what LAB is

[fluid river]

Im typing from phone sorry mate 🙂

[zinc moat]

yeah but idk how

can someone just show me how to actually do it

[empty horizon]

Check your private ip

[wet breach]

oh LAN, yeah typically yes but it depends on setup such as software firewalls and if anything is listening on the port you are trying to connect on

but in general yes

[fluid river]

yeah yeah i know

[quaint mantle]

@echo basalt lmao that vc is crazy

[empty horizon]

Disable windows firewall

[quaint mantle]

i was just in there

[spiral kindle]

yea as long as they are in the same lan you can comunicate in it

[echo basalt]

TIL that the minecraft network I've been making for the past 2 weeks is actually being sponsored by the biggest ytber in spain

[young knoll]

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[wet breach]

sounds like fun

[fluid river]

So one player starts a TCP Server on local, second player starts TCP client and sends a packet to LAN network

[echo basalt]

and I've been speaking to one of his producers this entire time

[wet breach]

make sure it advertises your name 😉

[echo basalt]

I'm the only dev

and the producer was praising me on his livestream

[wet breach]

Lol nice

[zinc moat]

can i do that with booleans?

[fluid river]

Every server in this network receives a packet and returns server info to the guy who requested

[young knoll]

Yes pdc can hold booleans

[wet breach]

https://tenor.com/view/gold-bullion-gold-gif-12449924

maybe this isn't the right boolean >>

[empty horizon]

You friend have your private ip with port

[echo basalt]

I've been typing in spanish with this producer for the past couple days and now my instagram is in spanish huh?

[fluid river]

?

Its an example, not an actual situation

[zinc moat]

yeah i have no idea how to even use pdc after reading allat i think i migth just scrap the project

[spiral kindle]

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

something like this

[echo basalt]

that's not pdc

[fluid river]

player.getPDC().setSmth(key, value);

[echo basalt]

but that use case scenario is applicable

I just have wrapper classes for pdc

[zinc moat]

did you make that?

[echo basalt]

I can't bother setting up keys n shit

[spiral kindle]

mainly copilot made that XD

[zinc moat]

lol

is copilot free or paid

[spiral kindle]

if you are a student it is free outherwise it is not

[fluid river]

If you live in Russia, its just blocked 🙂

[zinc moat]

do you need a student id?

[spiral kindle]

you need a student email i think

[echo basalt]

copilot my beloved

I have it until august I think

[rough ibex]

I'm old-school, dong it myself...

[torn shuttle]

yo @echo basalt do you use mojang remappings for sending packets?

[echo basalt]

yuh

[young knoll]

Do people still do NMS without mappings

Insane people

[echo basalt]

I'm struggling with resource packs rn

[torn shuttle]

most docs use spigot

is the problem

[echo basalt]

tried adding 2-3 new characters and this shit just refuses to load

[torn shuttle]

for the font?

[echo basalt]

ye

[torn shuttle]

fonts are ass

[echo basalt]

might be transparency related idk

[young knoll]

Are the characters too big

[echo basalt]

nope

[young knoll]

I know there’s a size limit

[torn shuttle]

wdym by refuses to load

[echo basalt]

it just shows up as a square

[bleak eagle]

@uneven iris

let's say you have a main class

package net.oikei.exampleplugin;

import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public final class ExamplePlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
      //
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
      //
    }
}

looks pretty sad and empty. your plugin-enabling logic should fit into the onEnable() method and the stuff that runs when your plugin is disabling (like on server shutdown) can be chucked into onDisable(). we'll keep it sad and empty for now, because first we'll need to make some event handlers. what the hell are event handlers? they're basically methods containing your own code that executes whenever something happens anywhere on the server. this can be a lot of different things, from players sending chat messages, to joining, leaving, dying, armor stands being manipulated, squids making weird noises, whatever... now, all your event handler methods have to be inside a class that we call the event listener.. inside are those aformentioned methods called event handlers. alright, let's finally make this event listener class containing all our event handlers, we're actually only gonna have one event handler for now, but oh well :P in the above example code, the main class is located in the package net.oikei.exampleplugin. when we're making these new event listener classes it's really good practice to organize them into a new package, even though in our case we're only gonna have a single event listener with a single event handler. we'll call this new package containing our event listener listeners, so it will be at net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners. you can do this easily in whatever ide you're using. let's make our actual event listener class inside of this package. we'll just call the class a boring EventListener, cuz it's the only event listener we'll have. it will be at net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners.EventListener.

[torn shuttle]

also fyi the minecraftl client has a half-decent error logger for resource packs

[bleak eagle]

next step is to tell java that our new class is actually indeed supposed to be an event listener class. we can do this by adding implements Listener to our class definition. so, say the code inside the EventListener class looks like

package net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners;

public class EventListener {
    //
}

it should be turned into

package net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners;

import org.bukkit.event.Listener;

public class EventListener implements Listener {
    //
}

okay, now we finally have a class that java knows is supposed to be an event listener class containing event handlers, inside a nice listeners package. let's FINALLY add an event handler to it! okay, so far i haven't mentioned which event we're supposed to handle. it's gonna be the PlayerDeathEvent. the code will now look a little bit like this

package net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners;

import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerDeathEvent;

public class EventListener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        //
    }
}

we've added our event handler method that should handle the PlayerDeathEvent. notice the @EventHandler annotation, it's important! just tells bukkit that the method we're about to write should be used to handle some sort of event, and is not just a regular old method like any other. we've called the method onPlayerDeath but the name of it can be anything, as long as it takes in the event you'd like to handle as its first argument, which you can also notice here ((PlayerDeathEvent event))! cool, now anything we put inside will get executed whenever any player dies. now, the really neat thing about events is that we can modify them and get extra info about them inside our event handlers.

[echo basalt]

mf

[torn shuttle]

jesus

[bleak eagle]

as has been mentioned earlier, every event handler method must take the event it wants to handle as its first and only argument, in our case we want a PlayerDeathEvent and we're storing it in the event variable. using this magic event variable we can do a lot of cool crap. let's get the event's player, aka the actual player that died when this event was triggered. we can use the getPlayer() method in the event variable for this. it will return a Player object, so we'll make a player variable of the Player type to store the player in.

package net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners;

import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

public class EventListener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
    }
}

neat. now we have to check whether this Player is in a specific Team called thirdlife. we already have the player ready, but now we need to get the specific Team object to check if the player is in it. teams work a little weird in spigot, they're actually stored as a part of the scoreboard, so to get a team we first have to get the server's main scoreboard. we can do it using getMainScoreboard() like so

package net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners;

import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Scoreboard;

public class EventListener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Scoreboard mainScoreboard = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getMainScoreboard();
    }
}

[echo basalt]

this blud is chatgpt

[bleak eagle]

nice. now, from this main scoreboard, let's get our thirdlife Team. we can do that using getTeam() like so

package net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners;

import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Scoreboard;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Team;

public class EventListener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Scoreboard mainScoreboard = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getMainScoreboard();
        Team thirdlifeTeam = mainScoreboard.getTeam("thirdlife");
    }
}

cool. the thing is, we're good programmers. and we don't want our stuff crashing. that's why we'll actually have to check if this thirdlife team even exists in the first place before working on it. conveniently, if a team doesn't exist on a server, the getTeam() method we just used will simply return null. so we can add a neat little if-statement to do it

package net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners;

import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Scoreboard;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Team;

public class EventListener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Scoreboard mainScoreboard = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getMainScoreboard();
        Team thirdlifeTeam = mainScoreboard.getTeam("thirdlife");

        if (thirdlifeTeam == null) { // the team is nonexistent!!
            Bukkit.getLogger().warn("the thirdlife team doesn't exist!") // log this terrible failure
            return; // terminate this event handler early
        }
    }
}

[torn shuttle]

chatgpt is slower than this

[bleak eagle]

alright, now we can safely check if our player is in our team. a team has "entries" which are really just strings of the names of players which are in a team. we'll use the hasEntry() method on our Team to check if the player is in the team

package net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners;

import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Scoreboard;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Team;

public class EventListener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Scoreboard mainScoreboard = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getMainScoreboard();
        Team thirdlifeTeam = mainScoreboard.getTeam("thirdlife");

        if (thirdlifeTeam == null) { // the team is nonexistent!!
            Bukkit.getLogger().warn("the thirdlife team doesn't exist!") // log this terrible failure
            return; // terminate this event handler early
        }

        if (thirdlifeTeam.hasEntry(player.getName()) { // our team has an entry that is equal to the player name, aka our team has our player in it
            //
        }
    }
}

notice how we've also used the getName() function on our Player to get their name, which we've then passed into the Team's hasEntry() method, which we've checked for trueness. okay, at this point, we can run code when a player that's in the team thirdlife dies. remember how i said that we can use the magic event variable not only to get info about the specific event that occured, but also modify the event? the PlayerDeathEvent actually has a really cool method that allows us to set keepInventory on an event basis. so for one event, we can have keepInventory enabled, and for another, we can have it disabled!

[echo basalt]

but yeah this just refuses to load

[bleak eagle]

alright, now we can safely check if our player is in our team. a team has "entries" which are really just strings of the names of players which are in a team. we'll use the hasEntry() method on our Team to check if the player is in the team

package net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners;

import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Scoreboard;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Team;

public class EventListener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Scoreboard mainScoreboard = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getMainScoreboard();
        Team thirdlifeTeam = mainScoreboard.getTeam("thirdlife");

        if (thirdlifeTeam == null) { // the team is nonexistent!!
            Bukkit.getLogger().warn("the thirdlife team doesn't exist!") // log this terrible failure
            return; // terminate this event handler early
        }

        if (thirdlifeTeam.hasEntry(player.getName()) { // our team has an entry that is equal to the player name, aka our team has our player in it
            //
        }
    }
}

notice how we've also used the getName() function on our Player to get their name, which we've then passed into the Team's hasEntry() method, which we've checked for trueness. okay, at this point, we can run code when a player that's in the team thirdlife dies. remember how i said that we can use the magic event variable not only to get info about the specific event that occured, but also modify the event? the PlayerDeathEvent actually has a really cool method that allows us to set keepInventory on an event basis. so for one event, we can have keepInventory enabled, and for another, we can have it disabled! we can use the setKeepInventory() method on our PlayerDeathEvent event variable to do this.

[echo basalt]

bro

[torn shuttle]

d@echo basalt you've done ClientBouSetEntityPacket(s)?

[bleak eagle]

we don't want keepInventory for players on the thirdlife team, so we'll set it to false

package net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners;

import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Scoreboard;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Team;

public class EventListener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Scoreboard mainScoreboard = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getMainScoreboard();
        Team thirdlifeTeam = mainScoreboard.getTeam("thirdlife");

        if (thirdlifeTeam == null) { // the team is nonexistent!!
            Bukkit.getLogger().warn("the thirdlife team doesn't exist!") // log this terrible failure
            return; // terminate this event handler early
        }

        if (thirdlifeTeam.hasEntry(player.getName()) { // our team has an entry that is equal to the player name, aka our team has our player in it
            event.setKeepInventory(false); // no keepInventory for these idiots
        }
    }
}

and let's use an else-statement to make sure players not on the team do have keepInventory

package net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners;

import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Scoreboard;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Team;

public class EventListener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Scoreboard mainScoreboard = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getMainScoreboard();
        Team thirdlifeTeam = mainScoreboard.getTeam("thirdlife");

        if (thirdlifeTeam == null) { // the team is nonexistent!!
            Bukkit.getLogger().warn("the thirdlife team doesn't exist dumbass! set up your world first") // log this terrible failure
            return; // terminate this event handler early
        }

        if (thirdlifeTeam.hasEntry(player.getName()) { // our team has an entry that is equal to the player name, aka our team has our player in it
            event.setKeepInventory(false); // no keepInventory for these idiots
        } else {
            event.setKeepInventory(true); // all the keepInventory for these nerds though
        }
    }
}

nice, that's basically it, but since computers are really dumb we need to do one last thing - tell bukkit to use our event listener with our event handler. we have to "register" it. let's go back to our sad and empty main class and add the following to our onEnable()

package net.oikei.exampleplugin;

import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import net.oikei.warezlogin.listeners.EventListener; // <--- import our event listener here

public final class ExamplePlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new EventListener(), this); // <--- register it here
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
      //
    }
}

compile your plugin and test it out, and i guess you're done

[echo basalt]

ClientboundAddEntity you mean?

[torn shuttle]

no

[bleak eagle]

alright that's all @uneven iris

[torn shuttle]

ClientboundSetEntityDataPacket

[echo basalt]

ah that one

Yeah I've done it

[bleak eagle]

sorry it took so long but i couldn't type much faster

[echo basalt]

quite chill

[bleak eagle]

also sorry for flooding the chat

[torn shuttle]

ClientboundSetEntityDataPacket clientboundSetEntityDataPacket = new ClientboundSetEntityDataPacket(id, List.of(SynchedEntityData.DataValue.create(new EntityDataAccessor<>(16, EntityDataSerializers.ROTATIONS), new Rotations(180,180,180))));

I feel like I'm not using it the way it was meant to be used

[bleak eagle]

i'm worryingly autistic

[torn shuttle]

that's just a quick rotation test

[echo basalt]

uH no

[torn shuttle]

yeah I figured something's wrong

[echo basalt]

Basically each entity class has a bunch of serializers n shit

thing is all of these are private

[torn shuttle]

oh fantastic

I love that

[echo basalt]

you should just have an nms entity (no need to add it to the world)

and use its data watcher

[torn shuttle]

I can't

well ok I can if I don't add it

so I create an entity without spawning it?

[echo basalt]

Yeah

[torn shuttle]

and then get its data watcher?

[echo basalt]

just constructor

Yep

Just use its nms methods

Then get the synched entity data

and pack non defaults

[torn shuttle]

constructor so I actually full on initialize it right

[echo basalt]

or pack dirty

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

[torn shuttle]

not any spawn methods

[echo basalt]

nope

[spiral kindle]

you missing out man. it writes like half my code XD

[echo basalt]

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

[torn shuttle]

yeah man I should've just gunned for this in the first place, the way I was doing it is really annoying

did you check what the client says when your rsp loads?

[echo basalt]

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

[torn shuttle]

those models you were working on are packet entities?

oh right they were meg anyway right

[echo basalt]

meg does that part

[torn shuttle]

yeah

that's what I'm working on

[echo basalt]

this is just the block display for showing how full the bin is

or whatever

and the items on the belt are packet entities yeah

only reason why I did em packet-based is because SWM was saving my shit

[torn shuttle]

I must really like pain because I'm doing this for both armorstands and display entities

[echo basalt]

and I didn't know Entity#setPersistent was a thing

[torn shuttle]

lmao

just wait until you discover removewhenfaraway

that thing is a war crime

[echo basalt]

lol no my launcher gives me no logs

and my alt refuses to work

[young knoll]

Then use a different launcher?

[torn shuttle]

so what did you say about it not loading earlier? I lost it in the bible that other dude posted

[echo basalt]

mojank launcher doesn't like to work either

[wet breach]

don't be talking about bibles now, you might attract certain people

[torn shuttle]

seems like they're attracted to this place regardless of what I say

[wet breach]

lol

[young knoll]

The heck did you do to your mc setup

My logs work fine

[echo basalt]

gdlauncher doesn't do logs

and I used game pass on my alt which means it asks me for a username every time I try to launch it

Even though I bought the fucking account

my main just straight up crashes the game on the mc launcher

and my alt gives me invalid session on gdlauncher

fucking pain in the ass

[torn shuttle]

hey did you cehck to see if you can name files like that, out of curiosity

[echo basalt]

[echo basalt]

you're telling me if I tenbythree it works

[torn shuttle]

I think caps doesn't work I don't know if numbers work, I have a working file and no numbers

the naming requirements for these are downright insane

[echo basalt]

the answer is no

ten.png doesn't work

[torn shuttle]

also every height I have is 256 no clue why I paid someone to write this garbage for me

actually they're all 136 by 256 I think it's because they're all for the same size menu

so probably not it

[echo basalt]

I just want a 10x1 rectangle I can scale for some bossbar shenanigans

[torn shuttle]

I will say I don't do \ for my unicode

which you do

[echo basalt]

with or without the problem remains

I already tried all sorts of combos

[torn shuttle]

and the texture is placed in the right spot?

[echo basalt]

Yes, I have other icons and it all works

I've done fancy resourcepack stuff in the past ik how this works

[young knoll]

get some working client logs smh ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[torn shuttle]

oh so it's just this one icon then?

well these icons

[echo basalt]

got my main acc to work let's see

and for some reason this works now

huh

[torn shuttle]

man my nms project was not built to handle packets and this is starting to destroy my soul

[echo basalt]

noob

I went too hard on the opacity ffs

[young knoll]

F

[spiral kindle]

tryed just using a libary for that?

[echo basalt]

why is minecraft casting a shadow

[torn shuttle]

the main one out there hasn't updated

and ultimately I only need 3-4 maybe 5 packets total

[echo basalt]

and for some reason ascent doesn't work on a bossbar fml

[hasty prawn]

[echo basalt]

neither up nor down

and I don't have the patience to do this with actionbars

[wet breach]

https://tenor.com/view/game-of-thrones-george-rr-martin-crush-their-souls-biggest-dream-gif-3309459

[echo basalt]

deadline's in like 19 hours

[torn shuttle]

if only you'd spent less time cooking and more time eating rotisserie chicken and chugging cheap energy drinks

go do it with actionbars

or be really funny and do it with titles

[spiral kindle]

isnt that a perfect job for chatgpt?

[wet breach]

nicotine and energy drinks is what the US military runs on

[torn shuttle]

absolutely not

[echo basalt]

nah I had a nice 5$ pizza for dinner

and I'm gon chug red bull

[torn shuttle]

the greasemaster strikes once again

[wet breach]

if the best military runs just on that, maybe we should apply that to other places since it seems to work XD

[echo basalt]

thing is I have a lot more than just bossbars to do

[torn shuttle]

I bet the project he was hired to do is a remake of pizza tower in minecraft

[spiral kindle]

In my experience it does stuff like this really well

[wet breach]

what is pizza tower? A tower of pizza?

[echo basalt]

nah I'm making an mcci competitor

[torn shuttle]

a game, look it up

[torn shuttle]

am I supposed to know what mcci is

[echo basalt]

mccisland

fancy minigame server

[torn shuttle]

so skyblock, I mean I saw it so it makes sense

[wet breach]

must not be fancy enough

[young knoll]

Well it’s got about 500 online

So not quite hypixel

[torn shuttle]

it's a shame mc performance is so horrid because I kind of am tempted to make a kind of factorio like game in mc

[wet breach]

just make your own fork

[torn shuttle]

but there's no overhead and the client would commit sudoku the moment more than three models are on screen

[echo basalt]

our closed beta tomorrow is gonna have ab 200 people so I gotta just pray I get this shit done within the next 19 hours

[torn shuttle]

the problem is the client not the server

[wet breach]

make your own client

[torn shuttle]

at that point I'd just make my own game

with blackjack and hookers

[young knoll]

Why’s the client an issue

[wet breach]

as long as you don't mess with the auth stuff, you are free to change everything else

[torn shuttle]

because of the way you render custom server-side animatable models client-side

[young knoll]

If your making a dedicated factorio like game just re-model noteblocks and you’ll probably be fine

[torn shuttle]

there's basically a guaranteed low cap for how many models you can do

[uneven iris]

1st, you are a legend, 2nd, i'm dumb and not entirely sure which file is which - there are two, correct?

[young knoll]

I mean factorio belts would just be an animated texture

[torn shuttle]

sure, that's literally what illusion did a few days ago

[young knoll]

The only big fancy model things that come to mind are trains and inserters

[uneven iris]

which should be named which @bleak eagle

[torn shuttle]

well, there's also the things on the belts

and then just about every machine that you want to have an animation

at least an animation that makes sense

[young knoll]

I guess all the items on the belt could become an issue

Mc doesn’t do too bad with a bunch of item displays tho

[torn shuttle]

I am right now getting support tickets because people playing on the ps5 can't seem to show 20 particles per tick

[young knoll]

You can also just heavily cull them by distance

Well bedrock isn’t my problem :p

[torn shuttle]

yeah, it's mine seemingly

[young knoll]

Noted

Idk tell ‘em it’s java software and to cope

[rough ibex]

Issue closed: out of scope

[torn shuttle]

I think I get one stating this exact thing every 2 days

[young knoll]

Could just add a particle toggle

[torn shuttle]

can't because that actually makes the bosses unplayable

[young knoll]

F

[torn shuttle]

they telegraph where things are

like zones on the floor for damage or for healing or whatever

[young knoll]

Idk what bedrocks problem is, java doesn’t seem to have many issues up to the particle cap

[torn shuttle]

if you can't see it then the game doesn't make any sense

bedrock does particles completely differenty, they don't even behave the same way

and it's as far as I can tell extremely unoptimized compared to java which doesn't even make that much sense

[young knoll]

Nah don’t worry C++ is a way better language

So it can’t be laggy

Bedrock is a perfect game with no flaws

[torn shuttle]

to be fair it's faster in just about everything I know of except this very specific thing

in which it's much worse

[young knoll]

It’s faster in being glitchy too

[torn shuttle]

maybe, I only booted it once when it first came out and then never again

[young knoll]

I like the videos where people just randomly die

[torn shuttle]

I thought liveleak closed down

[young knoll]

Shhhh not those ones

[spiral kindle]

can i get the entity from an itemstack?

[torn shuttle]

no

items are entities, itemstacks can be anywhere

like in an inventory or a container

or nowhere at all

[spiral kindle]

😭 so if i want the entity a dispenser gives out the only way to check if it was droped by a dispenser is to randomly search around it?

[echo basalt]

I just wasted an hour debugging shit because I was saving to the wrong file

fml

[torn shuttle]

18h now?

[zealous sparrow]

does anyone else get Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException for their implementation dependencies in gradle?

[echo basalt]

the launch is at 7pm our time

[torn shuttle]

better go get some more $5 pizza and $.5 energy drink

[echo basalt]

imma make a couple thousand off of this

[torn shuttle]

I'm sure you're paying your taxes on it too

[echo basalt]

exactly

[young knoll]

Yes hello I am the IRS

[torn shuttle]

in portugal you'd be the AT

btw this is the same guy who refuses to move to a house where he can actually use the kitchen so he can stop having $5 pizza and $5 rotisserie chicken for every meal

[young knoll]

Yes I am AT&T

Wait

[torn shuttle]

I actually owed taxes to the AT because I did a typo in a payment

I believe it was 20 cents

and I would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky automated verifications

[echo basalt]

Homie I don't even have my license yet

And my income's too unreliable to rent, especially in the region I live in

[torn shuttle]

move to alentejo, you can buy a house for 2k

[echo basalt]

Ah yes

I'd love to herd sheep for a living

Or harvest cork

[young knoll]

You say that now but give it 10 years more of being a programmer

And you’ll long for the fields

[torn shuttle]

don't forget about becoming a drunkard and dying by the age of 50

and then your widowed wife gets to live to 100

[echo basalt]

sounds uh

familiar

[royal hawk]

Hello who can help?
I have 2 plugins example PluginA and PluginB
In PluginA main logic in PluginB logic and use api from PluginA

When I reload pluginA my methods in PluginB breaks I think after reload jvm see old classes need a help with this:0

[echo basalt]

easy solution, just don't reload

[royal hawk]

I'm need reload.

[wet breach]

pretty sure I owe the IRS right now

[torn shuttle]

make sure you unload everything you need to unload on the shutdown method and then reinitialize it on startup

I don't owe jack shit

to anyone

[uneven iris]

so guys, i'm incredibly stupid and don't know how to compile properly, one of the legends here wrote me a file and I can't for the life of me figure out what to do with it

import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import net.oikei.warezlogin.listeners.EventListener; // <--- import our event listener here

public final class ExamplePlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new EventListener(), this); // <--- register it here
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
      //
    }
}```
```package net.oikei.exampleplugin.listeners;

import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Scoreboard;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.Team;

public class EventListener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Scoreboard mainScoreboard = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getMainScoreboard();
        Team thirdlifeTeam = mainScoreboard.getTeam("thirdlife");

        if (thirdlifeTeam == null) { // the team is nonexistent!!
            Bukkit.getLogger().warn("the thirdlife team doesn't exist dumbass! set up your world first") // log this terrible failure
            return; // terminate this event handler early
        }

        if (thirdlifeTeam.hasEntry(player.getName()) { // our team has an entry that is equal to the player name, aka our team has our player in it
            event.setKeepInventory(false); // no keepInventory for these idiots
        } else {
            event.setKeepInventory(true); // all the keepInventory for these nerds though
        }
    }
}```

would someone be able to help me compile this (I downloaded intellij, minecraft version needs to be 1.20.2)

[echo basalt]

yay I got some progress

they're all fucked

[young knoll]

320 blaze it

[torn shuttle]

hey bud change the ui scaling for me

[echo basalt]

no

[torn shuttle]

[echo basalt]

actually it scales

troll of bozo

[torn shuttle]

how are you doing those numbers anyhow, do you have different pngs for different numbers?

[echo basalt]

custom font

[torn shuttle]

whitespace?

[echo basalt]

I just font:blockyHi there!</font> and it works

[torn shuttle]

because you can't just put text at the far right like that unless you are just maxing out bossbar text

[echo basalt]

as for spacing you're using a really shitty version of the negative spacing font

the new version is nice

you just lang:space.123 and it does 123

[young knoll]

I gotta get me that

[echo basalt]

I have a lil thing to merge spaces on automatically generated strings :)

which is how I achieved those fancy background color menus

ignore the colors I suck at using a color picker

anyways time to make bossbars invisible

[young knoll]

Do I see the background gui poking through at the top

0/10

[echo basalt]

0/10 I work with that I was given

[young knoll]

I hate it and I will never recover from this

[torn shuttle]

if you think that's bad you should see how the model hitboxes were

[echo basalt]

I already fixed those

[young knoll]

My hitboxes are still scuffed

[torn shuttle]

wowe a xmas miracle

[young knoll]

Because they are just hardcoded lul

[torn shuttle]

he also hardcoded positions for the belts instead of putting metadata in the model

[minor junco]

Hardcoded hitboxes 😵

[torn shuttle]

which is cringe af and not based in the least

[young knoll]

I haven’t written the parsing for them yet

Hush

Sadly interaction entities don’t push other entities :/

[echo basalt]

why isn't my bossbar invisible

[young knoll]

Uhh

Yes

[echo basalt]

I think the fuckin server resourcepack is overriding this shit

[torn shuttle]

this is annoying because I have to split this fake entity garbage between my shaded library and my models plugin

I really want to drop support for 1.18

[uneven iris]

bump

[plush gulch]

is there an event for two entities colliding?

[minor junco]

Have you tried entity collide event

[plush gulch]

I can't find that

in the docs

[remote swallow]

seems like thats a paper event

[plush gulch]

are there workarounds for spigot?

[minor junco]

I mean theoretically if there was no event in spigot you could track every entity's bounding box and check if they intersect

But there should be an event for sure, like I remember seeing an event for that

Tbf it could've been a custom event of mine

[young knoll]

Yeah that would be a pretty laggy event

[zinc moat]

guys i have a command and a event listerning in the same main file is there anyway i can get the arguments from the command and check in the listener if its greater then 1 argument and if it is then it does something but if its not then it does smthing else?

[minor junco]

?xy

[undone axle]

http://xyproblem.info/

[spiral kindle]

yea create a variable in the class like int latestoutput;
and then set in the comand clas and then update it

[minor junco]

What do you want to achieve exactly

Cause depending on that your implementation varies

[zinc moat]

are you talking to me or sum1 else?

[young knoll]

I wonder if you can make just the top bossbar invisible

Maybe some core shaders magic

[uneven iris]

@bleak eagle i am a dumbass, is there any chance you could compile it for me 💀

why the hell can i not post images

[slender elbow]

because you're white

like me

(not verified)

god that never gets old

[echo basalt]

yeah I did that

Looks nice

the bossbar magic is done

now I just need to do other random BS fixes and we should be good for launch

[remote swallow]

have you ever considered verifying

[slender elbow]

i have

[remote swallow]

do you not want to sign into spigot

[slender elbow]

but i gotta change my nick on forums but im broke

[remote swallow]

just ask paper for a donation

[slender elbow]

@eternal night Mr Paper

give me your lunch money

[remote swallow]

your like something there just hold mini ransom, they paid for a mac so surely they could donate 10 dollary doos to a triage team member

[young knoll]

Care to share?

[echo basalt]

there's a folder that has all the pngs

just make them invis

no core shader magic

no nun

[young knoll]

Wut

[echo basalt]

used to be gui/bars.png

[young knoll]

Won’t that make them all invisible though

[echo basalt]

now it's gui/sprites/boss_bars/...

[young knoll]

Ah I see I could just remove one colour

[echo basalt]

pre 1.20 or whatever it's just changing bars.png and icons.png for some reason

although I think the one on icons.png is the same color but for horses

[young knoll]

Might still look into shaders so I don’t yeet an entire colour

[remote swallow]

"DO NOT USE THE YELLOW BOSS BAR ANYWHERE OR IT WILL BREAK EVERYTHING AND RM RF / YOUR COMPUTER"

[spiral kindle]

is there any sensable way to get the minecard that a dispenser dispenses?

Like this is how i curently do it and this sucks:

@EventHandler
public void onBlockDispense(BlockDispenseEvent event) {
ItemStack item = event.getItem();

    if (item.getType() == Material.MINECART) {
        Block block = event.getBlock();
        if (block.getType() == Material.DISPENSER) {
            // Get the direction the dispenser is facing
            BlockFace facing = ((Directional) block.getBlockData()).getFacing();
            Block blockInFront = block.getRelative(facing);
            Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(this, new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    for (Entity entity : blockInFront.getLocation().getChunk().getEntities()) {
                        if (entity instanceof Minecart) {
                            Minecart minecart = (Minecart) entity;
                            if (minecart.getLocation().getBlock().equals(blockInFront)) {
                                dispensedItems.add(minecart);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }, 1L);
        }

    };
    }

I've started boiling all the vegetables I eat and I swear they 100% look like plastic toys or like photoshoot food

[remote swallow]

are you boiling then in acid or something

[torn shuttle]

no they just look incredibly shiny and plastic

[uneven iris]

what the fuck kind of water do you have

[torn shuttle]

the liquid type

[river oracle]

Probably something like 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen or something

[torn shuttle]

throw some trace Cl in there for fun

[uneven iris]

Uhh I think you may be living in a labratory

Your water is really really pure

That cant be healthy

[river oracle]

Mine tends to be bonded with iron :(

[torn shuttle]

iron water to build an iron will

I should probably at least add some salt to this

[uneven iris]

My water is more pure than any of you

[torn shuttle]

I haven't looked into how much salt I should be putting in there so I'm just not

[uneven iris]

Reverse osmosis B)

Off of well water

So no stinky chlorine

Bold of you to assume I don't have the same setup

[uneven iris]

City water or well water

[river oracle]

Well water 💪

[torn shuttle]

I actually had a distiller which was supposed to be for water for a couple of weeks (not used for water)

[river oracle]

I live in the middle of nowhere

[uneven iris]

thinks of something to argue about

[torn shuttle]

and I'm probably buying a different one in a couple of months

[uneven iris]

YOO SAME

[uneven iris]

so what was it used for

[remote swallow]

someone has said that and lives in a place called nowhere

[uneven iris]

surely nothing that would get you arrested if you gave to kids

[remote swallow]

specifically here

[uneven iris]

Actually same though lmao

[torn shuttle]

[uneven iris]

ok someone should frfr compile my project for me👍

[echo basalt]

[torn shuttle]

fart nuts

hey illusion

guess what

[echo basalt]

yes?

[torn shuttle]

the gym opens in 4 hours and 30 minutes

[echo basalt]

cool

[torn shuttle]

get your preworkout routine going

[echo basalt]

mine opens at 6:30am

[torn shuttle]

damn must be nice

I wish I had a 24/7 one around here

[echo basalt]

6:30am to 10pm baby

[torn shuttle]

mine's 7:30 to 10pm, absolute coward behavior

and closed on sunday + closed most of saturday

[echo basalt]

mine closes at 8pm on the weekends

and on holidays

[torn shuttle]

I would pay triple what I pay my gym just to have it be 24/7

so tired of this garbage

[echo basalt]

40 bucks a month

indoor heated swimming pool + sauna n shit

[torn shuttle]

and right now you can't realistically work out between 5 and 7 pm, the place is absolutely swarming

[echo basalt]

the kicker is that I get access to 2 gyms not 1

[torn shuttle]

oh you're not even in a gym you're in a health club

[echo basalt]

nah I'm in a gym

the owners opened a second branch

[torn shuttle]

I'm blanking out on the name of the local fitness club

health place? that doesn't sound right

[echo basalt]

lmao

[rough ibex]

defined volume of good health

[torn shuttle]

holmes place

it's like 50 or 60 a month and has indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna and so on

[echo basalt]

oh yeah my airbnb was right next to one

[torn shuttle]

and you can barely work out there

[echo basalt]

and by right next to one I mean literally out the door

[torn shuttle]

yeah there's one like a 4 minute walk from here

[echo basalt]

but nah we don't have those down south

we have like 2 subways though

[torn shuttle]

they're not fit for working out in anyway

[echo basalt]

I took a 1 hour train to eat subway

[rough ibex]

I remember I once went to a subway and the bacon was green.

literally

At the edges of the pan, it was a dark green

[torn shuttle]

I remember eating at subway over a decade ago

I am pretty sure that if I ate that regularly I'd already be dead

[echo basalt]

they're reworking my local mall I think we're gonna have a starbucks too

one of my local malls*

[torn shuttle]

where the hell do you even live

[echo basalt]

south

[torn shuttle]

are you in the most bs tourist spot imaginable

[echo basalt]

yeah

we have more strip clubs than grocery stores

[torn shuttle]

afaik starbucks and subway only exist in lisbon outside of your area

and it's like 1 store

[echo basalt]

I visited 3 subways in lisbon

[torn shuttle]

really?

[echo basalt]

and like 2 starbucks

maybe 3

[torn shuttle]

to be fair I don't go to lisbon, that has to be one of the worst cities in europe

[echo basalt]

there are 2 subways in my whole region

one's at the airport and the other's by the beach 1hr away

I think we have a starbucks at the same shopping we have an ikea at

that's ab it

[torn shuttle]

man we don't even have an ikea here

[echo basalt]

it's like a 1 hour drive too

[torn shuttle]

not that I really care, I make my own furniture

[echo basalt]

on the sketchiest road

[torn shuttle]

oh well then it's not much different from what we have, it's 1h30 to go to porto's ikea from here

[echo basalt]

you go straight for about 9 roundabouts then do a sharp turn into a mega narrow street

[torn shuttle]

oh so basically it's portugal

[echo basalt]

that's also on a hard incline

cross the shady bridge and you're at the widest highway

[torn shuttle]

hell I went to france a week ago and that's basically a description of the road to go to france

I think you pretty much have to take the worst stretch of the ip3 to get to porto's ikea from here so ours is objectively worse, pretty sure it's been the deadliest road in the country

[echo basalt]

Imagine experiencing cold lmao

[torn shuttle]

what's your temp right now

[echo basalt]

It says 11C but I got my window open on full blast and I'm wearing a tshirt

[torn shuttle]

11c here as well buddy enjoy your living in a bs tourist destination lifestyle

and I also have the window open with the fan on

[echo basalt]

Prob a tiny ass window

Taking a shit rn think imma call it lisbon

[torn shuttle]

I won't flex the apartment, it's something I inherited

but it's big. Very big. So big that I'm moving to something smaller in the next year or two

[echo basalt]

Imagine inheriting shit smh

Thats the trick question late stage minecraft development is just art in disguise

well time to sleep

done plenty of work today

[hazy warren]

is there any known solution to making interaction entities that are stacked on a player not teleport off them for a split second once every 60 seconds?

[eternal oxide]

interaction entity?

[hazy warren]

the entities that are just purely hitboxes the client can interact with

[eternal oxide]

are they set as passengers, or are you manually teleporting them?

[hazy warren]

the minecraft client uncontrollably kicks them off and puts them back on immediately causing 2 ticks of weird behaviour every 60 seconds

[torn shuttle]

behold

AbstractPacketArmorStandDisplayEntity

another banger class name by yours truly

[torn shuttle]

real quick how do people usually manage manually sending entity packets to players, I assume the normal way of doing it would be to just check if a player is within a distance that would be able to see the entity?

I know there's a million of potential optimizations and such, just trying to get an idea of what the baseline is

[inner mulch]

Can I let the Server wait, when using a command without stopping everything Else?

[eternal oxide]

no

[drowsy helm]

what are you trying to achieve?

[torn shuttle]

nirvana

oh that wasn't for me

[lost matrix]

Letting the server wait will result in the entire application simply freezing because minecraft handles (almost) everything consecutively on a single thread.
However, you can schedule code to be executed at a later point in time by using the BukkitScheduler.

If you want to compute expensive operations (like loading a file or accessing a web endpoint), then you can simply spawn a new Thread and let the computation be
handled independent from the minecraft server. Inside this thread you can use the BukkitScheduler to create a task as soon as your code is done executing, in order to
get the result back on the servers main thread.

[torn shuttle]

hey nms nerds can you confirm my suspicion that this actually spawns the entity in-world?

because I just want the entity without it actually spawning, I need to manage it via packets exclusively

[lost matrix]

You need to still add it to your ServerLevel. The constructor doesnt actually attach the entity to your world.

[torn shuttle]

oh awesome

perfect

thanks

oh one last thing before I go to the gym, is there a way to get a spigot armorstand entity from that?

actually you know what I don't really need that

I can probably manage it as nms regardless

[eternal oxide]

to get teh spigot entity you have to add to world

[torn shuttle]

I feel like spigot is missing some intermediate class that would be really cool to have then

like ArmorStandBlueprint or something

[lost matrix]

You mean... the CraftBukkit classes?

[eternal oxide]

for Spigot the entity doesn't exist until it's in the world

[torn shuttle]

yeah

never really used this side of things

[lost matrix]

Ah there is actually a huge PR for virtual entities pending in the stash. Its still bein worked on.

[torn shuttle]

well there it is

I've had to virtualize a ton of entity stuff before

the worst is chunk loading management

just very flaky, chunks seem to be able to double load among other weird things

[lost matrix]

Hm? I dont have problems while loading my packet based holograms when a chunk loads.

[inner mulch]

I want to ask the proxy with a packet if the searched player is on the proxy, if so use that Information, i cant be sure tho when it will be there therefore the Server needs to wait for a response

[torn shuttle]

I'm sure you don't, but if you monitor it might be that they are getting loaded twice

not a big problem for holograms but a big problem when suddenly there's two of any kind of boss

[lost matrix]

Ah. This might help.
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/bungeecord-messaging-with-callbacks.562809/

[drowsy helm]

when i worked with packet entities a while ago i did have double loading issues aswell

[lost matrix]

Hmm

[torn shuttle]

yeah it took me a while to nail it down but I did manage to get actual evidence of it happening

it's extremely flaky

[drowsy helm]

this was on like 1.17 tho

[torn shuttle]

iirc it happened on 1.14, 1.15, 1.17 and one build on 1.18, after that I already had an alternate system that took it into account

might've been in more versions while getting caught by a prior system that tried to combat it

[lost matrix]

@echo basalt you wanna develop a server?

[quaint mantle]

I use org.bukkit.event.server.ServerListPingEvent to change the Motd of the server...
Any Ideas why that doesnt work when I get kicked?

[torn shuttle]

he's sleeping but I can tell you that his answer will be are you paying lol

[lost matrix]

If he's paying me

[lost matrix]

Does this only occur after you got kicked?

[quaint mantle]

Yessir

[lost matrix]

That sounds like an actual bug. What version are you using?

[quaint mantle]

latest

1.20.4

[lost matrix]

Did you add a debug message to make sure your event was fired after the kick?

[echo basalt]

Lmao wtf

I did some talking this dude wants to hire me long term

[quaint mantle]

I didn't I just noticed that the motd then isnt the one I set

[lost matrix]

Ah sad. Well ill do it myself then.

[quaint mantle]

Hello, I'm currently doing fun fun things with the Plugin Messaging Channel.
And as far as I understand, the PMC on the spigot side only works as long as someone is on the sub-server, right?
Is there any workaround or do I have to come up with a custom solution?

[lost matrix]

The PMC sends a packet to an actual player, which is then intercepted by the proxy.
The workaround would be to have a fake player connection to a fake client established.
Is this for a private or public project?

[quaint mantle]

its a public project so no fake clients
but with the custom solution i thought of some kind of socket server

also, we are using MultiPaper and i dont know how well a fake client would work on that xd

Is there an example how to use the PMC

[eternal oxide]

?pmc

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/bukkit-bungee-plugin-messaging-channel/

[blazing ocean]

is there a way to shade ProtocolLib?

[quaint mantle]

You can do with shadowjar

[eternal oxide]

ProtocolLib is a Plugin and should not be shaded

[quaint mantle]

If you gonna shade protocol lib, nothing gonna happen in runtime

[bleak eagle]

sorry, i was asleep here, yeah

do you know java basics?

[torn shuttle]

are fireworks shot from a crossbow still registered as firework projectile?

[bleak eagle]

the nogui flag is literally useless

it makes sense, really, but it's really dumb

it's never stored nor accessed

[rough drift]

and yet

it works

[lost matrix]

No, this will break Plib

[bleak eagle]

it works because the gui is never ran if you're running from the command line - and you have to run from the command line to pass the flag

the way buildtools is designed also prevents from checking whether an explicit enable gui flag is set without chucking the classes around

the gui is started first if it has to be started, and only then are the flags parsed

[rough drift]

no?

If you run from the command line it still works

[wet breach]

this is because the nogui flag is a JVM flag

the pic IKE shows is the gui the flag is for

[bleak eagle]

doesn't run on linux

[wet breach]

it does

[bleak eagle]

oh i'm not talking about the server

i'm talking about buildtools

[wet breach]

anyways, so what used to happen when you didn't have that option

[rough drift]

oh lol

[wet breach]

is all the output went to that gui

and nothing on the command line

for headless servers this was a bit inconvenient because you had to use xforwarding to see that gui lol

so, using the nogui option prevented that window from opening up automatically

today, its not needed because the output goes to both places and isn't just taken over by the gui

[wet breach]

well, it applied to all java applications that were command line based

however buildtools has its own gui thing now

hope the explanation I gave clears up the nogui flag and why it is even a thing 🙂

btw, the nogui option only applies the JVM application gui, not the gui of the application provides

[rough drift]

on another topic,

var blockData = Bukkit.createBlockData(Material.OAK_SIGN, data -> {
    var sign = (Sign) data;
    sign.setRotation(face.getOppositeFace());
});

var signBlock = block.getRelative(signDirection);
world.setBlockData(signBlock.getLocation(), blockData);

var state = (org.bukkit.block.Sign) signBlock.getState();
```I'm trying to create a hanging sign and edit it's state, however I get

```java
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_20_R1.block.CraftBlockState cannot be cast to class org.bukkit.block.Sign
```Where did I go wrong?

[wet breach]

maybe you want wall sign?

[rough drift]

oop

oh shit

I did not know the difference

let me try

[bleak eagle]

where could i keep a huge set of flag variables that have to be accessed globally later on? should i make separate class for them or shove them into an existing one? i don't know what the convention exactly is

they're all final - i think

[wet breach]

if they are final, then put them in an enum

[bleak eagle]

i don't think an enum can be used in this case

maybe i'm wrong? i'm not really much of a java programmer xD

[tender shard]

no need to

[bleak eagle]

trying to implement the gui flag

[tender shard]

if the flag is there, args is not empty and hence the GUI is not shown

[wet breach]

already explained to them what nogui does

[bleak eagle]

yeah no i understand

we're talking about buildtools gui though

it's a bit wonky

[eternal night]

(this is still about forcing a gui open from build tools from the command line)

[tender shard]

I know

[bleak eagle]

i have to turn the classes around so that the flags get parsed first (in Bootstrap?) and then get passed onto Builder for further use

but Bootstrap should check for an explicit --gui flag and start it in that case before Builder checks anything else

[blazing ocean]

is there any way to make a player glow to only a specified group of players with a specified colour? scoreboard teams dont work for me, ive tried that using regular commands as well, so creating a team, changing colour, adding players and giving them glowing. all shown for everybody in white

[lost matrix]

Scoreboard teams

[dire marsh]

i think you need packets for that

[blazing ocean]

yeah i think so too

[blazing ocean]

well it doesnt work

[eternal oxide]

you did it wrong then

[dire marsh]

as setGlowing just sets the metadata on the entity, which is broadcasted to all players

[wet breach]

for what you are wanting packets are the way to go

[eternal oxide]

setting a colour for opposing teams is what its for

[dire marsh]

scoreboard teams just determine the colour

[bleak eagle]

@tender shard i was thinking of defining all the OptionSpecs publicly somewhere, like in Bootstrap, so that they could be accessed both in Bootstrap and Builder. parse() would be run once at the start of Bootstrap and the OptionSet it returns would get passed to Builder as an argument. does this sound OK to you?

[tender shard]

XD

[eternal night]

[bleak eagle]

that's messy

[tender shard]

its obviously a joke

lol

[bleak eagle]

it's separate from the rest of the flag parsing code

OK sorry i don't get jokes often LOL

[eternal night]

I mean, you can abstract the options away into some type that re-exposes them via getters

and pass that one around

[bleak eagle]

ugh maybe

[wet breach]

couldn't you just grab the gui option from the system properties ?

[bleak eagle]

it uses jopt

[wet breach]

its a jvm flag last I recalled, not a flag that is provided specifically

[bleak eagle]

this is unrelated to anything jvm

[wet breach]

getting jvm flags is different

[dire marsh]

@blazing ocean https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/glowing-entities-and-blocks-1-17-1-20.558927/ should be useful to you

[bleak eagle]

we're not doing that though

[wet breach]

but...it makes no sense to implement a gui flag, if the jvm provides a nogui flag

which you should be able to grab if it is set from the system properties or metadata

[eternal night]

....

[bleak eagle]

the way buildtools does it is different

it has checks to see whether the jar is run from the command line or a graphical file manager

and starts the gui based on that

but the issue is that most linux distros don't really allow you to start jars from file managers

making running the gui impossible on linux without hacks using .desktop files and etc

[wet breach]

thats not true

[bleak eagle]

i've tried it on ubuntu, linux mint and kde neon

none do

[wet breach]

window managers on linux is what controls whether or not Java applications on linux can show a gui or not

[bleak eagle]

no no

[wet breach]

also, java has a system properties you can configure

[bleak eagle]

i meant being able to start jars from the file manager

all distros just open it as a zip

and you need to write a separate jar launcher wrapper

[wet breach]

oh the file manager, don't think I have ever used a file manager

[bleak eagle]

?

[wet breach]

this is because you don't have it set to execute instead

the execute flag has to be set for it to not open as a zip 😛

[bleak eagle]

it's set to execute

it opens as an archive

[wet breach]

well, I never had that happen except on linux mint

but there is system settings though you can tweak to fix that

[bleak eagle]

in either case an explicit gui flag would solve all this hackiness if you take a step back

[wet breach]

yes and one is provided by the JVM

[bleak eagle]

being able to start a gui from the command line is useful in either case

[bleak eagle]

which is?

how can i start buildtools gui from the command line on linux right now?

[torn shuttle]

@echo basalt bro 3.1 magnitude earthquake in algarve? You really need to cut back on that greasy food, you getting out of bed is making the news

[bleak eagle]

lmao

[wet breach]

I haven't used the gui one yet. Idk if it is setup to run gui if started from command line

[bleak eagle]

nope it's explicitly set up not to

[wet breach]

however all I am saying is a duplicate flag just doesn't need to be created

just updated to check it

[bleak eagle]

it checks whether you are running it from the command line and doesn't start the gui in that casae

[bleak eagle]

hm i don't understand why though

--gui isn't a valid jvm flag

[wet breach]

nogui

nogui

[bleak eagle]

what i'm trying to implement is an explicit gui flag

[wet breach]

that isn't the same as --gui

[bleak eagle]

not the other way around

[wet breach]

what I keep typing is an explicit flag

[bleak eagle]

it's inverse

you are specifying not to start the gui and not to start the gui

[wet breach]

its a boolean option

[bleak eagle]

wtf?

[wet breach]

so you can do nogui false

[bleak eagle]

you're sure?

i've never seen it used this way

[wet breach]

I am pretty sure its a boolean option but I am going off info that is probably outdated by now

as there was a time I was messing with all the gui stuff and buildtools 😛

[bleak eagle]

yeah no i'll try, i didn't think of it

it can be checked in either case, no?

[wet breach]

yeah it can be checked

you just might have to do it differently if its a jvm flag though

[bleak eagle]

i'll see if jopt picks it up first

[wet breach]

yeah see if it does

[eternal night]

[bleak eagle]

i haven't been able to find any doc about the nogui flag being part of the jre

it's all minecraft specific

[eternal night]

Frostalfs memory might be playing a trick on them

[bleak eagle]

yeah if i just google "nogui flag java" it throws only minecraft server forum posts at me

[slender elbow]

yeah there is no such "nogui flag provided by the jvm"

[eternal night]

Which puts you back into your original dilemma

[slender elbow]

at best i guess you have java vs javaw on windows but that is slightly different

[bleak eagle]

i hate java i hate java i hate java

[eternal night]

Nah, hate build tools for making decisions before parsing flags

[slender elbow]

^ ultimately it's up to the program to display a UI or not

[bleak eagle]

yeah right i'll go with my original plan of switcherooing it

[eternal night]

Probably a smart idea yea

[wet breach]

probably

I was just going through a list of all the stuff in the JVM

[slender elbow]

that's a lot of stuff

[echo basalt]

You have some great timing let me tell you that

(I was deadlifting)

[bleak eagle]

darn i was just expecting you to talk about eating a big mac or something

[slender elbow]

lol

[torn shuttle]

1x1 of getting out of bed is not deadlifting

I need to get back into deadlifting

[wet breach]

ok I was right there is a jvm flag for gui

[river oracle]

BuildTools gui works as intended not sure what the issue is

[wet breach]

well its more of a system property

[river oracle]

Why do we want to start the gui from command line do it the right way and make a jar launcher

It's not hard it's just a .desktop file

[wet breach]

//how to set it in code or retrieve it
System.setProperty("java.awt.headless", "true");
//how to set it on the command line
-Djava.awt.headless=true

now, I don't remember if nogui just made it more convenient or not, I would have to look in the code of some older versions and possibly the jvm but that will be for some other time lol

[remote swallow]

iirc the nogui on spigot is added by spigot

[ivory sleet]

^

[wet breach]

Now did it set a system property? or was it used to pass to Jline?

because setting the system property should make it global to not run any GUI thing

[river oracle]

I think he is referencing the BTGUI which simply reads from the flag

The server works as intended

[torn shuttle]

man I am too tired for this code right now

[ivory sleet]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/craftbukkit/browse/src/main/java/org/bukkit/craftbukkit/Main.java

L125

[torn shuttle]

I wrote myself into a corner

[river oracle]

And for the gui there is no nogui flag because it only runs when you double click it which is intended to preserve old behavior. The real solution to their question is to make a jar launcher on Linux which is not hard to do

[wet breach]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-alone-sad-person-alone-cradle-sitting-along-in-corner-gif-11206167521557372047

[torn shuttle]

real quick if I want to use a class that has initialization and public methods and I need it to work in a multimodule context where each module has a similar but different implementation what should I be looking at

I feel like it has to be interface or an extension

interfaces don't have initializing methods though right

oh yeah I should mention that basically one module holds the object just so I can standardize the methods but each module has different code for how the methods work

[bleak eagle]

it's aliiive

[torn shuttle]

does it have to be extended?

maybe there's a generics solution I'm not thinking of?

[bleak eagle]

writing -Djava.awt.headless=true is impractical and barely documented, not to mention that it doesn;t show in the help menu

also this just forces your jre to identify itself as headless which is slightly different
