i just wanna see what happens cuz i have no clue whats going on there

[drowsy helm]

can you send your pom

[harsh rose]

Can i dm you?

[drowsy helm]

no

[paper rain]

yeah. i have it on server, in external libaries too and also in pom

everywhere

[drowsy helm]

yeah msg the dev I'm not really sure

[paper rain]

okok

[worthy yarrow]

I'd love to show you, but like I said, I can't even call expressionParser

It's something weird with my build probably idek

[harsh rose]

One question before, which spigot dependency to i need to use to get those classes in 1.20.1:

import net.minecraft.server.v1_8_R3.BlockPosition;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_8_R3.EntityPlayer;
import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_8_R3.CraftWorld;
import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_8_R3.entity.CraftPlayer;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_8_R3.DataWatcher;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_8_R3.Entity;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_8_R3.EntityArmorStand;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_8_R3.PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_8_R3.PacketPlayOutEntityMetadata;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_8_R3.PacketPlayOutSpawnEntityLiving;
import net.minecraft.server.v1_8_R3.WorldServer;
import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_8_R3.CraftWorld;
import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_8_R3.entity.CraftPlayer;

Back in 1.8 i could just import them

[tardy delta]

cant you like show a screenshot? :)

[harsh rose]

But in 1.20.1 paper api doesnt find

or even normal spigot doesnt find

then i tried remapped => same.

[drowsy helm]

https://mappings.cephx.dev/ you have to find the equivalent on here

[worthy yarrow]

What all do you want to see?

[drowsy helm]

some of them might be a pain you have to find their 1.20 equivalent if they're deprecated

[tardy delta]

what happens in your ide so you cant call ExpressionParser.parse

wait

[harsh rose]

But they wont be in there because its api:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.papermc.paper</groupId>
<artifactId>paper-api</artifactId>
<version>1.20.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

or?

[drowsy helm]

thats paper

[worthy yarrow]

I mean, nothing happens... It's as if ExpressionParser doesn't exist

Which is why I'm so lost... the dependency is fine

[harsh rose]

yea because my server runs on paper

which do i have to use

[drowsy helm]

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

spigot

the remap plugiun is for spigot

spigot plugins can run on paper servers

[harsh rose]

Do i HAVE to use remapped or can i use normal spigot? im so confused

[worthy yarrow]

            <groupId>com.github.FourteenBrush</groupId>
            <artifactId>MathExpressionParser</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.1</version>
        </dependency>```
With the jitpack repo, maven takes it and it's fine up until trying to actually use it

[drowsy helm]

if you want remapped methods (you do) you have to use the remaped-mojang classifier

but keep in mind none of these imports will resolve because they're using diff names

so you'll have to find the Remapped equivalent

[tardy delta]

i did a push that makes the project java 17, gotta have to wait till the jitpack build is finished

[worthy yarrow]

Perhaps that's the reason... just let me know when it's finished

[harsh rose]

yea then i find it and methods in it are missing

[tardy delta]

bruh stupid java, it compiles but it doesnt

[drowsy helm]

A lot of nms has changed, it's not as easy as just updating the version name unfortunately

you'll have to rewrite a portion of it if you want to use remap

[meager wolf]

u know how hypixel got those "pets" in the lobbies? (parrot, sloth...)
how can i easily make them? is there a library for that, or should i hard code it

[drowsy helm]

you can use blockbench and a renderer plugin

[meager wolf]

not specifically pets only, but things that are similar

[meager wolf]

ah

[harsh rose]

can i pay u to do that? xd

[drowsy helm]

pretty sure @torn shuttle is making one

[tardy delta]

believe it should be working

if jitpack refreshed its cache atleast

[worthy yarrow]

Same issue D:

[tardy delta]

get into dm

[harsh rose]

If someone is able update NMS Classes/Methods from 1.8 to 1.20.1, DM me. Im paying up to 100€

If you wish to request or offer development/art/building/administration services, please do so at https://www.spigotmc.org/forums/services-recruitment-v2.54/

also depending on the size of the plugin it may be more than €100 just saying

[unique shuttle]

Am I missing something? When it spawns, it already appears with the translation ignoring the interpolation. Spigot 1.20.4

[young knoll]

You need to wait a tick

Because Mojang

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, you're setting the transformation around the same time it's spawned on the client. Give it about a tick or two before actually changing its transformation

[unique shuttle]

It's strange because this doesn't happen to me in another project

But with 2 ticks, it worked fine. Thanks :)

[quaint mantle]

is it possible to make a sound follow an entity?

[rough ibex]

No

Sounds have a position from which they are played

but this position cant be changed

[lost matrix]

You can stream mono sounds directly to the player

[quaint mantle]

im trying to make a sound follow an entitiy

so they know where the entity is ayt

[restive mango]

player.performcommand does check if a player has permission to execute that command right

like if the server ran randomguy.performcommand("ban Unknown_abs") it wouldn't actually ban them right

...im pretty sure it does

[topaz cape]

can gradle change constants in my project , if yes how can i do it?

like for example I want to replace "XContant" in
private static final String CONSTANT = "XContant";
in compile time

[slender elbow]

permission checking is performed by the command itself as it's being executed, performCommand will trigger that just as if the player was typing it in chat

[remote swallow]

Its easier to have a middle man file

[mild granite]

Is there a way to specify the main class of a plugin outside of plugin.yml? I've forked a plugin from github and I can't figure out where it specifies its main class (I know what the main class is)

[remote swallow]

If its gradle it might use minecrells build.gradle config for it

[mild granite]

Thanks, it was specified in the gradle (not sure if minecrells or not). Since you seem to know some things about gradle: I was trying to add the paper api to build.gradle using the instructions on their website (https://docs.papermc.io/paper/dev/project-setup), but adding the third block gives the error The new Java toolchain feature cannot be used at the project level in combination with source and/or target compatibility I'm confused because I haven't set sourceCompatibility or targetCompatibility anywhere. Is there somewhere other than build.gradle that it could be set?

[slender elbow]

uh maybe you should share your build.gradle

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[slender elbow]

i got it right omg

[topaz cape]

like a constants.properties?

or smth

[mild granite]

Plugin is RPGInventory which hasn't been worked on by it's author for a few years. I modified it a bit to add support for MMOProfiles, but the only other change to build.gradle is adding the three blocks from the paper documentation. https://paste.md-5.net/xededogida.cs

[lusty flax]

heya, anyone know how to run code every x number of seconds with a bungeecord plugin?

[drowsy helm]

Bungee should have runnables

Yeah it has a scheduler

[wet breach]

I would be impressed if it didnt

[quaint mantle]

how do i get all the players but sorted from the closest from a entity to the furthest from an entity?

[dreamy chasm]

you can use getNearbyEntities() which is part of the World class

[quaint mantle]

thank you

[median trench]

Is there any way I can disable the arm swing when clicking a noteblock?

[torn shuttle]

woah hold up

is the velocity of a controllable mountable entity the velocity of the entity mounting it?

[inner mulch]

Are data classes bad design ?

[eternal oxide]

no, but it depends on what you are calling a "data class"

[next iron]

newPosition < 0: (-1 < 0)
im getting this error after typing
chestDisplayTime: 100
in my config.yml

does anyone know what it means?

[echo basalt]

probably a formatting issue

[echo basalt]

What do you consider a data class?

[next iron]

that is my entire config.yml

[echo basalt]

Doubt. try /walkspeed 10 and riding a pig

[echo basalt]

Stacktrace?

[next iron]

where can i find this?

[echo basalt]

When an exception / throwable is thrown you get a nasty error with a stacktrace (what's printed after the error)

[next iron]

https://i.imgur.com/EFgzRZ4.png

there is nothing there

[eternal oxide]

no inage, 404

[echo basalt]

elgar you got this

imma get back to reading effective java

[eternal oxide]

broken link

?paste your config

[undone axle]

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

[smoky anchor]

you're broken

[next iron]

^

[next iron]

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

[eternal oxide]

is that your whole config.yml?

[next iron]

yes

[next iron]

^

[eternal oxide]

then it's impossible for that to cause your issue

run mvn clean

then try building again

[inner mulch]

Fields getters and setters

[eternal oxide]

uh So Java

[inner mulch]

But No funcionality

[eternal oxide]

Nothing wrong with that

Perfectly valid design and been done that way for decades

[echo basalt]

Yeah that's decent design

Ideally it'd be immutable but whatever

[next iron]

ty it worked

[inner mulch]

Where do i put the funcionality tho?

[eternal oxide]

It sounds like you need to re-think what you are doing

data is just that, data. Operations on that data are not data

[echo basalt]

your "facade" / manager class

[eternal oxide]

You have a UserData class and a User class. UserData holds all data while User holds all your functionality, if it needs to be per user and not a Holder/Manager across all.

[echo basalt]

ehh

that adds complexity

In some cases yes, that's good

I'd argue that's more in favor of hiding volatile / instance data

[inner mulch]

Woukd it be Bad tho to put funcionality in the data class am im using the data in the functiond either way?

[eternal oxide]

It really all depends on wether the User can change its own data.

[echo basalt]

For example on my skyblock core I use that pattern to separate InstancedIsland (world, IslandData) with IslandData (islandId, ownerId, members)

[echo basalt]

Depends

You're adding more points of entry which is not great

But it's generally acceptable

Let's say you have something like uh

public final class UserPopularityData {

  private final UUID userId;
  private int likeCount;

  private UserPopularityData(UUID userId, int likeCount) {
    this.userId = userId;
    this.likeCount = likeCount;
  }

  public static UserPopularityData create(UUID userId, int likeCount) {
    return new UserPopularityData(userId, likeCount);
  }

  public static UserPopularityData create(UUID userId) {
    return UserPopularityData.create(userId, 0);
  }

  public void addLike() {
    this.likeCount++;
  }

  public int getLikes() {
    return this.likeCount;
  }
  
}

[inner mulch]

Ok

[echo basalt]

This, by norm, is fine

Now, could you go the extra mile and make a package-private setLikes method and having your whole manager class be responsible for modifying? absolutely

[inner mulch]

So god like Manager that do everything from a encapsulated system?

[echo basalt]

Your UserPopularityTracker class would be responsible for implementing the addLike / setLikes / removeLike / clearLikes methods

And it'd just call the "hidden" setLikes method

[inner mulch]

Okay

[echo basalt]

It'd also be responsible for creating the data itself

But instead of making the setLikes method package-private we can instead extrapolate the UserPopularityData to an interface, provide read-only methods and make the setLikes method not part of the interface, but rather the implementation

and now we're starting to over-engineer this

😛

[inner mulch]

Okay this is so complex for just having setLikes in a data class?

[echo basalt]

Well, there's simple code and then there's enterprise code

I'm going the overengineered enterprise code route

[echo basalt]

but this is simple and acceptable in 99.95% of cases

[dusk moth]

Guys I need help, I'm trying to make a plugin where there are schematics of rooms, and I'm trying to get a random schematic, and summon that schematic besides the previous schematic, and it would look like a infinite randomised rooms connected to each with an opening.
My main plan is to set a main room, then following up an infinite amount of rooms, but not really infinite AT definition.
I want it so that after the player has passed 3 rooms, the previous room would degenerate, and it would generate another room in front of the 2 rooms, which are already generated.

[agile anvil]

So where are you stuck as now?

[dusk moth]

Getting the random schematic, and the generation.
As of now I have set the commands up, like setting the main room, setting the schematics.

[agile anvil]

I'm not really familiar with schematics, but as far as I now those are file containing some block placements right?
So depending on how many schematics you have you can wether:

• load them all in memory (such as a list) and fetch a random one each time you need one
• or list your schematics directory and load a random file on this directory
  (PS: you might like to avoid generating two similar rooms one after the other, for the player's experience ig)

For generating what do you mean? Actually generating the schematic, or the process on when should you generate a room based on the player's location ?

[astral scroll]

generation = pasting for him

i think

would be the obvious

[echo basalt]

hm

[astral scroll]

like depending on how big the schematic is yk

[echo basalt]

I'm concerned about performance though

because what if a player walks back

[astral scroll]

sometimes big ass schems could lag the server

[echo basalt]

will it generate a new room?

[agile anvil]

So for pasting the schematics you really have two ways;

1. the easiest is to use WorldEdit's Schematic API, which contains the methods for loading, pasting (and even saving schematics)
2. make your own schematic format (including making the saving, parsing, and generating)

[echo basalt]

I feel like we're already beyond this stage

[agile anvil]

If there is a degeneration ig that he plans to "close" the possibility of going back (maybe some kind of doors like many famous horror games)

[echo basalt]

Yeah so we're past the point of "how do I paste a schematic" and the true question is how do we track this data

[eternal oxide]

Spigot has it's own Schematic system https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/structure/StructureManager.html

[echo basalt]

This problem breaks down in a few steps:

• Picking what room to paste
• Knowing what room we're in and how it's related to the rooms around it
• Unloading rooms and sealing off? its neighbours

[astral scroll]

i'd like to say we is the best way to go

[echo basalt]

And I feel like we want a kind of graph structure for this

public class RoomInstance {

  private final RoomTemplate template;
  private final Point position;
  private final Collection<RoomInstance> neighbours;

}

[agile anvil]

If he picks random rooms it means that the problem is very simple: each room has same dimensions (at least in one direction) and the opening of each room is standardised

[echo basalt]

Yeah

[agile anvil]

So only tracking a direction coordinate seems enough

And each time passing the coordinate modulo length of the room, do something

[echo basalt]

We need a constant scale to determine

• Where to paste
• Where a room starts and ends

[dusk moth]

Do u guys know the famous horror game on roblox called "Doors"?

[echo basalt]

no

I just know I want to look into maze algorithms now

[agile anvil]

I think you might be disappointed if it's standarized ahahah

[echo basalt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I worked on a randomly generated dungeon system before

a solid 3 years ago

it's a pain in the ass

[agile anvil]

I love those kind of problems

[echo basalt]

@tender forge

@vagrant stratus ?

[dusk moth]

Well, it's exactly like it, where instances of rooms have been initialised in the code, and there are doors, as per the game name itself.
And, whenever a player walks through the door, it triggers an event, and the room, which was generated 3 rooms ago, would degenerate, and the door would close in front of it.
I do have a idea tho, could I use the files name to it's advantage, where there will be a list of strings, which are the file names, and choose a random name, and paste that schematic file?

[echo basalt]

Well

[echo basalt]

I already gave you most of what you needed with generation here

Now we just need to define

• The room template class
• Our room template registry

Your room template is basically your schematic

[dusk moth]

Ye

[echo basalt]

It might also have some kind of list of entrance directions

Let's just make it an interface for now

public interface RoomTemplate {

  String getName();
  void paste(Location location);

}

We can add metadata to this later on

[agile anvil]

@dusk moth is it a straight line room generation or might it changes direction for some rooms ?

[dusk moth]

Straight

[echo basalt]

This also allows us to use both worldedit schematics and bukkit (nms) schematics

And let's make our little registry class

public class RoomTemplateRegistry {

  private final Map<String, RoomTemplate> registeredTemplates = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();

  public RoomTemplate getTemplate(String id) {
    return this.registeredTemplates.get(id);
  }

  public void register(RoomTemplate template) {
    this.registeredTemplates.put(template.getName(), template);
  }

  public RoomTemplate getRandomTemplate() {
    ...
  }
}

Something like this

[dusk moth]

Oh and I also wanted to ask, can I store a number of locations instances in a list, and get a random instance of that location, so that a chest could be spawned on the random location from the list?

[echo basalt]

Ideally instead of random templates we'd have a bunch of picking strategies and some kind of context system

[echo basalt]

Yeah that can be part of your metadata on the RoomTemplate

Let's rework the getRandomTemplate part into a generator class

public class RoomGenerator {

  private static final int SCALE = 16;

  public RoomTemplate getIdealTemplate(RoomInstance previousInstance) {
    return ...;
  }

  public RoomInstance createRoom(RoomTemplate template, Location location) {
    Point point = new Point(location.getX() / SCALE, location.getY() / SCALE, location,getZ() / SCALE);
    template.paste(location);
    return new RoomInstance(template, location); // The method calling this is responsible for registering neighbours
  }
}

We can expand this class a bit

[dusk moth]

No, like I mean, say for example I have a big maze, and I want many chests with a diamond inside it on random location of the maze.
I make command, where I can set the location of a random spawn, with its own getter name.
I store that location into a list.
And so, before the maze minigame starts, it would generate all the chests before hand, at the random locations.

[echo basalt]

I believe at the time we used signs for that

that ran scripts

When the room was pasted / when a player got nearby

why am I writing this entire system for you

[eternal oxide]

Place the chests in teh schematics, then insert a diamond in random ones as they spawn

[dusk moth]

I'm srry, I'll try to make this conversation short. I just want the base idea of it to be cleared

Well, thank you guys, I will try out those options

And srry for bothering you all.

[agile anvil]

I liked seeing the system being live coded bellow my eyes ㅠㅠ

[dusk moth]

Can't imagine the muscles aching 🗣️🔥

[echo basalt]

[ashen quest]

It's been quite a long time since I've coded a plugin.

Is storing Player UUIDs as primary keys in tables good?

[kind sundial]

Hey ! I'm investing plugin development and I have this code :

@EventHandler public static void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Block block = event.getBlock();
        Material material = block.getType();
        if (material.equals(Material.DIRT)) {
            player.sendMessage("Tu as cassés un block de terre.");
        }
    }```

It seems to be right but I still have an error :
```java

[echo basalt]

You're using a weird snapshot build

[smoky anchor]

This seems like the material rewrite

[echo basalt]

Yep

[kind sundial]

on the spigot API things where you can download those

[quaint mantle]

Hi guys, I have an gradle project with submodules and I just made a module depend to other one but I'm getting ClassNotFoundException but at the project the classes works. Any idea? If you need code or something tell me

[kind sundial]

Okay but if I'd like to use 1.20.4, what should I do ?

[smoky anchor]

You should be using BuildTools to build the jar yourself.

[echo basalt]

You need to shade your modules

[kind sundial]

wait

[round finch]

buildtool

[kind sundial]

wdym ?! I gotta develop a whole API ?

No

[echo basalt]

Import the existing 1.20.4 api, not a weird 1.20.5 build

[kind sundial]

I misunderstood

[smoky anchor]

?bt

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

[kind sundial]

It's not .5, it is ?

[quaint mantle]

Ohh okay, let me see how I do it

[round finch]

wtf 1.20.5?

is this a joke?

[kind sundial]

Iguess

[echo basalt]

You're using a 1.20.5 development build

[kind sundial]

wtf

what should I use for the 1.20.4 so ?

[smoky anchor]

BuildTools

[round finch]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

you welcome 😉

[kind sundial]

Oka

y*

Downloading it

[echo basalt]

Or if using maven/gradle (you should), import spigot-api

From the spigot maven repo

[kind sundial]

going outside with the doggo, taking a small break then... Get back to work !

C ya and thx for the help !

wait

in the BT

[round finch]

java -Xmx4G -Xms4G -jar BuildTools.jar --rev latest 1.20.4
pause

my buildtool bat

[kind sundial]

"Select Version", I use 1.20.4 ?

[smoky anchor]

or just doubleclick it since we now have UI

[round finch]

but the new version has gui

[round finch]

yeah the new build tool has it

😎

[storm scaffold]

Can I somehow make this not appear under specific circumstances, or change what it's wearing, or anything of that sort to make it appear different?

[river oracle]

Not unless you add a unicode char with a texture that covers it in the title

Fucking autocorrect

[storm scaffold]

Did that, didn't work, it renders over the title

[river oracle]

Use negative space fonts

You can move it around with those

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/negative-space-font-resource-pack.440952/

[storm scaffold]

This is the texture, I'm using negative space, but the entity renders on top of it

[river oracle]

Ohhh

I don't think you can then unfortunately

Even if you could it'd require going from the ground up In NMS which is uhhh not fun

[slender elbow]

nah it's entirely client sided

[river oracle]

Sadge mojank yy :(

[inner mulch]

i ve now just read that dataclasses are bad design because they lack meaningful behaviour

[echo basalt]

Their whole point is to store data

[eternal oxide]

where did you read that?

[inner mulch]

if a manager only interacts with the data contained in such object cant they just contain the managers methods in the first place

[inner mulch]

pretty much everywhere, where code smells are discussed

[eternal oxide]

I disagree

[inner mulch]

okay

[eternal oxide]

java literally added record classes for data classes

[inner mulch]

yes but coupling these classes to a manager isnt really needed as the manager also just uses the data thats already there?

[agile anvil]

I've seen somewhere that someone succeeded to do so and iirc he used shaders

[kind sundial]

Okay

so

I've made the thing for 1.20.4 with the BT

And now everything's red

[eternal oxide]

Its all about how you want to expose that data to the user

[kind sundial]

Like red for error lmao

[inner mulch]

am i not the user?

[eternal oxide]

not always

if you provide an API

[agile anvil]

That's still a great practice to do so. And when programming in oop you're the client of your own code

[kind sundial]

but the bt doesn't seems to work for melmao

As said before, it's well builded but don't work in Intellij

[echo basalt]

That breaks SRP

The point of data classes is to contain data, the manager class is responsible for collecting it

[inner mulch]

okay so static manager?

[echo basalt]

There's no need for it to be static

The manager is your point of entry

[inner mulch]

point of entry?

[eternal oxide]

delete their dat file while they are offline

[round finch]

@kind sundial huh what are you talking about here?

[kind sundial]

Like

I can't show you because despite I'm verify, I can't paste img.

Fun

but I used the BT to get the 1.20.4 jar I needed

[smoky anchor]

?img
also, you clearly are not verified

[undone axle]

Can't send images? That's because you're not verified! Use !verify to complete verification.

Here's some screenshot utilities that you can use to upload images.

but it's still not working out, when I do that all of my code become an error

[smoky anchor]

do you not use maven/gradle ?

[kind sundial]

I build the 1.20.4 jar I needed using the BuildTool, then I choose it as a module in my IntelliJ project.

[kind sundial]

What's that ?

I just followed a tutorial... ;-;

[smoky anchor]

bad tutorial then

[kind sundial]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJyTEuqLQfU&list=PLDhiRTZ_vnoUvdrkTnaWP_hPmbj2JfPAF

This one

but he hasn't talk about maven or gradle

[smoky anchor]

I do not know how to guide you to the correct resources
Hopefully someone else knows

[kind sundial]

Ah, sad... dw

What I don't understand is that it's seems to be something really important but I still can load the plugin and do things

"Does not working" is a useless statement. Please describe what exactly is not working, what you expect it to do, and what actually happens. If you get any console errors, also ?paste the entire stacktrace.

but why can't I see the text?

[shadow night]

why are you checking if their message equals something

have you never heard of commands or something

[sterile flicker]

I'm just doing this for testing

I'll change it later, what about the problem itself?

[lost matrix]

Are you still on 1.12 ?

[sterile flicker]

yes

[lost matrix]

No idea then

Try sending a simpler text

[sterile flicker]

which packet should I send first?

PacketPlayOutOpenSignEditor or PacketPlayOutTileEntityData

[tall dragon]

doesnt the client need to think theres a sign at that blockposition?

saw people do it with sendblockchange before

[sterile flicker]

wouldn't sendblockchange change the text of the sign block itself, rather than the graphical representation of the sign?

[lost matrix]

lol

[sterile flicker]

?

[tall dragon]

i think its just for the opening part

the way i did it is create a blockposition at the player under the world. where i would send the block change

then sent those 2 packets

in the same order as ur doing

[lost matrix]

Try minecraft:sign for the id

PS: I also think you might need to send a block change first. Otherwise the entity metadata is sent for an air block
which simply makes the client discard it. Not sure about older versions.
But a simple player.sendBlockChange(location, Material.OAK_SIGN.createBlockData()); should be enough

[sterile flicker]

            player.getBukkitEntity().sendBlockChange(signLocation, Material.SIGN);```  need third byte argument

[lost matrix]

Again: No idea. Im just guessing. I dont touch versions this old usually.

Just throw a byte in i guess

I have a shared inventory between several players that gets updated. I'm storing the players in a hashmap, and iterating through all of them to create a new inventory each time. Issue was that, when the players close the inventory, any action done to update it will reopen the inventory for them. To fix this, I removed them from the hashmap on InventoryCloseEvent.

Since every time the menu updates, it triggers an InventoryCloseEvent, what else can I use to detect if the player has left the inventory?

[tall dragon]

why are you creating a new one for each update?

[grave vigil]

because of how my inventories are structured

[eager sigil]

Hey, I am currently doing an internship for a game server hosting company and I am looking into improving the performance of Mc servers. I was wondering if you could help me out with your experience. What are some concepts that could theoretically improve server performance but have failed? I was thinking of solutions like offloading chunk generation to a more performant environment or trying to incorporate multithreading.

[tall dragon]

well seems like they arent structured very well then

seems odd to have to create a whole new inventory when the inventory size stays the same

seems to me you could pretty easily just update the contents for all viewers

[tall dragon]

incorporating multithreading into mc isnt that trivial. there is an ongoing project thats doing pretty well called "Folia" maybe see if that helps you?

[eager sigil]

Yes I know about it! Folia is great, but multithreading is just one solution. I just wanted to see if there are some solutions I've missed, some can be just conceptual. Proving a resource optimization strategy can't be made is still a relevant research finding for me

[tall dragon]

u could reprogram the server in C 😂

[kind sundial]

Not working

[shadow night]

Pretty well and pretty broken :/

[tall dragon]

yea. still they got the furthust so far

[eager sigil]

could try but probably would be outside the scope of my assignment 😦

[tall dragon]

yeaa that would probably be out of scope.

[tall dragon]

but i feel like there really isn't much more you can do than picking your hardware intelligently & optimizing your server settings for your use case.

if your server is really custom you could go for something like minestom as well. which is library to build a mc server on top of. meaning it would have no useless bloat running in the background ur never going to use. bad news is that u would have to program any vanilla mechanics u want urself.

[grave vigil]

I have a menu creation class that connects to both a yml config and sqlite database. There is no way to update the inventory without creating a new inventory if I wish to display new items.

[tall dragon]

why not. if i update a menu and call Player#updateInventory it works fine

[eager sigil]

My main goal is to improve performance of servers with high player counts and a lot of plugins and modpacks. Your suggestion is really good and I will look into it, thank you very much!

[grave vigil]

I'll try that, I supoose

[tall dragon]

good luck 👍

then ur doing something wrong ;p

How do you add something to a creative category ? I'm investigating it but I don't find a lot of ressources abt that...

[civic lodge]

IS there a plugin or way to make all items have a different nametag and subtitles and stuff?

[kind sundial]

Use meta data

like meta.SetDisplayName()

[lost matrix]

What do you mean by "add something to a creative category"?
The client displays all materials which have the same category in those windows.

[kind sundial]

Like

I've created an item

how can I made it to be in the TOOLS category ?

What line of code I have to use ?

I tried "creativeCategory" but nothing

[lost matrix]

Those are client side and for Materials. You cant add ItemStacks to them.

[sterile flicker]

EntityPlayer player = ((CraftPlayer) event.getPlayer()).getHandle();
            Location loc = getDefaultLocation(player.getBukkitEntity());
            BlockPosition signLocation = new BlockPosition(loc.getBlockX(), loc.getBlockY(), loc.getBlockZ());
            TileEntitySign sign = new TileEntitySign();
            sign.setPosition(signLocation);
            Generator generator = new Generator();
            generator.nextFormula(ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(14) + 1, ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(2));

            sign.lines[0] = new ChatComponentText(String.valueOf(generator.result));
            sign.update();
            player.getBukkitEntity().sendBlockChange(loc, Material.SIGN, (byte) 0);
            player.playerConnection.sendPacket(sign.getUpdatePacket());
            PacketPlayOutOpenSignEditor packet = new PacketPlayOutOpenSignEditor(signLocation);
            player.playerConnection.sendPacket(packet);``` for some reason it still doesn't work

sign.update(); I've added this, but nothing has changed.

[lost matrix]

1. Send block change
2. Send metadata for that block
3. Open sign menu for that block

[sterile flicker]

What am I doing wrong? should I move the sendblockchange up?

[lost matrix]

Does a sign appear under you?

[sterile flicker]

no public Location getDefaultLocation(Player player) { Location loc = player.getEyeLocation(); return loc.clone().add(loc.getDirection().multiply(-3)); }

[lost matrix]

Add the sign in front of you, dont open the editor, and try to get the first part working: A sign with text on it

And you should keep that approach in mind. If you have a complicated method like this, and it "doesnt work", then you
need to find out where it fails. There is no point tinkering with all possible dials and levers, if you have no understanding about what
is actually going on.

Debug it step by step. If you master this, then you will be able to debug 90% of problems on your own.

[sterile flicker]

I've made a sign with text appear, but it still displays empty sign editor

[lost matrix]

Send the sign editor one tick later

[inner mulch]

Are generic method parameters possible (amount and type). I want an abstract method that must be defined but the parameters can be whatever?

[azure vault]

how can i get the number of scores currently shown by a scoreboard?

[chrome beacon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/scoreboard/Score.html#getScore()

[azure vault]

doesnt work

thats just 0

for both the ones that are shown and not shown

Show your code

for whatever reason it makes the server lag for 5 seconds when i call getObject or getPlayer on all of the scores lol

[azure vault]

the scoreboard here only has 9 scores currently shown

u can ignore the first two print statements

scores.indices.foreach { i =>
    val hex = s"§${i.toHexString}"

    obj.getScore(hex).setScore(i)

    val team = scoreboard.getTeam(s"score$i")

    if (team != null) {
        team.addEntry(hex)
    } else {
        scoreboard.registerNewTeam(s"score$i").addEntry(hex)
    }
}

this is how i set the scores

[azure vault]

the last two might be wrong lol

since the score entry is actually that hex one

but the the scores are 0 regardless

maybe i need to call getscore on the objective

OK I figured it out

[vast raven]

why does the damager is null in blockexplodevent using a respawnanchor?

[tardy delta]

anyone here that ever used jacoco for code coverage and knows how to upload those reports to codecov.io with github actions?

keeps telling me it cannot find those reports, documentation is kinda bad too

[chrome beacon]

That method doesn't exist

at least not in Spigot

if you're using something else go ask them

[kind sundial]

How do I get an item display name please ?

Like, I have the diamond shovel vanilla item, how to get it ?

[river oracle]

ItemMeta#getDisplayName

[kind sundial]

It doesn't work lol

it's returning nothing

[river oracle]

Or
ItemMeta#getLocalizedName

If no display name is set

[kind sundial]

I've tried to

and not working :/

[river oracle]

What is not working

[kind sundial]

Both

when I used them

my string stay empty

[young knoll]

I don't know if the server even has any language files

So idk if it can get the default name

[river oracle]

Localized should just get the English one

I thought

[young knoll]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[river oracle]

Meh could be wrong ig

[young knoll]

Isn't there also a setLocalizedName

(yes)

[kind sundial]

There is

but if I want to get the name of the item you have in hand when breaking a name

I can't use it

[river oracle]

ItemStack is translatebale you'd have to use components which spigot doesn't yet support

Not where you need it atleast

[young knoll]

I mean you need to send it to the client for that to work

So if you want it server side you're out of luck

[kind sundial]

Oh

So not possible to get name of the item in name when breaking a block ?

But-

ahhh

[dreamy chasm]

if its just vanilla items, is the material not enough for your case?

or you could convert the material to the name if you want it in a nicer format

[ionic terrace]

I was wondering if it's possible to open a writable book, I've tried p.openBook() but that requires an ItemStack of written_book?

[sullen marlin]

I guess not then

[vast raven]

Lol

it is not even inherited from entitydamage parent class

it's part of damagebyblockevent class

[molten hearth]

has anyone had to do any in-depth string cleaning here cus i aint got a clue where to start w/ this

is there some simple AI libraries for this or what 😭 🙏

[sullen marlin]

Wdym cleaning

[lilac dagger]

string = "";

but it has to be some other type of cleaning, maybe removing certain elements from a string?

[river oracle]

For loop usually does the job

[wet breach]

String clean = str.replaceAll("\\P{Print}", "");
String clean = str.replaceAll("[^\\n\\r\\t\\p{Print}]", "");

[chrome beacon]

That's not the BlockExplodeEvent

[umbral ridge]

is casting a Sign to getState a proper thing to do

[eternal night]

depends on the Sign import

but yea

[umbral ridge]

Sign should work for any sign right

WallSign

etc

[eternal night]

yea

[umbral ridge]

Alright

[eternal night]

you could also just

dip that material check and do like if(!(block.getState() instanceof final Sign sign)) return;

orrrrr

Tag.SIGNS.isTagged()

if you need the speed of avoiding state snapshotting

[umbral ridge]

Sure yeah

so isTagged takes in the getState() ?

and returns true if its a sign?

[eternal night]

no

it takes a material

[umbral ridge]

o

[eternal night]

but like, its still faster and nicer than your .endsWith

Block#getState just isn't a free operation

[slender elbow]

i don't pay the bills

so

plenty free

[umbral ridge]

Yeah..

btw how could it throw a null exception here

[eternal night]

the block is nullable?

your IDE is not smart enough to know that an event that is CLICK_BLOCK will have a block assigned

[umbral ridge]

yeah lol

[eternal night]

it just sees the nullable annotation and goes

yup

[slender elbow]

so what you're saying is

get a better ide

[eternal night]

exactly

lynxde

would catch that

[umbral ridge]

EmilyIDE

[slender elbow]

💀

[umbral ridge]

BetterJailsIDE

nice plugin btw

[slender elbow]

oh no

please spare me

[umbral ridge]

XD

btw Sign#getLines is deprecated ?

[eternal night]

yea

signs have sides now

[umbral ridge]

I havent worked with signs for a long ass time

[eternal night]

you can write on both sides

[umbral ridge]

XD

So

[eternal night]

read the javadocs ™️

[umbral ridge]

getTargetSide im guessing i have to check

why does getSide take in a Side parameter when its returning the same data type

XDD

[eternal night]

different side

just

"naming"

well

actually it yields SignSide

so

[umbral ridge]

Then how am i supposed to check which side the player clicked on

[eternal night]

getTargetSide?

[young knoll]

Ah yeah we should have named it SideOfTheSign

[eternal night]

obv

[warped shell]

player.getWorld().rayTraceEntities why do i need a location and a vector? is the location a starting location and the vector just the direction? the vector im using contains the location, is it so you can use a normalized vector?

[eternal night]

vectors don't contain locations

[young knoll]

Location is the point where it starts

[eternal night]

but yea, your initial guess is correct

location is ray origin, vector is ray direction

[young knoll]

Vectors contain an x y z

Location also has pitch yaw and world

[worldly ingot]

Or an rgb. Or an abc.

[young knoll]

Well, yeah

3 values

[worldly ingot]

Heck it could contain 123 if you want

Might as well go full Jackson 5

[eternal night]

or a qtπ

if you are really going for it

[warped shell]

i meant block location

[young knoll]

Vector at home is just double[3]

[slender elbow]

okay excel, chill

We already did

Cope

[eternal night]

common spigot moment

[worldly ingot]

We banished floats because floats weren't used anywhere in the plugin.yml

[eternal night]

yet ™️

[young knoll]

Speaking of banishing

[worldly ingot]

YET

[umbral ridge]

How do you compare which side was clicked?? XD (ignore the naming signTop.. it's just a sign)

SignSide isn't an enum

[eternal night]

SIgnSide is the data thing

[umbral ridge]

only Side is

[young knoll]

SignSide is the clicked side

[umbral ridge]

SignSide

doesnt have get methods

[young knoll]

But it doesn't have any refrence to if it's the front or back

kek

[umbral ridge]

So....

[eternal night]

it should

getLines exists on there

[worldly ingot]

I mean... I guess we could add Side to the SignSide interface :p

[eternal night]

so does gteLine

[eternal night]

oh

[umbral ridge]

no getSide

????

[eternal night]

ohhh

[young knoll]

I mean front and back are kinda arbitrary

They look exactly the same

[umbral ridge]

No

[worldly ingot]

They're DIFFERENT >:((

[umbral ridge]

I need to check which side was clicked

[eternal night]

I mean

dumbest thing would be signTopSide == sign.getSide(FRONT)

[worldly ingot]

it would work though

[umbral ridge]

Can I do that?

[worldly ingot]

Yes

[young knoll]

Can't wait until we can put text on the top of signs too

[worldly ingot]

Returns a referentially comparable instance

[eternal night]

but choco

is that an API promise

HMMM

[worldly ingot]

IT MIGHT NOT BE

.equals() if you want to be SAFE

[umbral ridge]

lmao

no errors

[worldly ingot]

We should probably add in getSide() to SignSide though. It's stupid easy. Just need to add it to the constructor

[young knoll]

Does it even implement equals

[worldly ingot]

Maybe a getSign() for good measure

[eternal night]

(it does not override equals)

[worldly ingot]

Yeah but it might in the future

👀

[eternal night]

[eternal night]

Mhmmm, holding references to heavy things

[worldly ingot]

ur heavy

im sorry that's mean

WeakReference

[eternal night]

virtual entity moment

I mean, you ignored my qtπ compliment early so

yea

fuck you too

[worldly ingot]

Oh I saw it

[eternal night]

[worldly ingot]

I just hated it

[eternal night]

oh

oh okay

[worldly ingot]

because you can't name a variable π, dummy

[umbral ridge]

Also

[young knoll]

You got a problem with virtual entities cat boy?

[umbral ridge]

how do you check which hand was used to interact with the block (LEFT / RIGHT ?)

[young knoll]

Kotlin:

[eternal night]

java too

choco is just not smart

[young knoll]

The event has a getHand

[umbral ridge]

yes

but it has only HAND

[young knoll]

OFF_HAND

[umbral ridge]

I know they clicked with their hand

oh LO0L

[young knoll]

I can see it peaking at the bottom of your image

smh

[worldly ingot]

I was going to say, how CONVENIENT

[umbral ridge]

btw how could you possibly click with your feet

[worldly ingot]

Very, very carefully

[young knoll]

Welllll

[eternal night]

the enum isn'T just used for that event

[young knoll]

There is Action.PHYSICAL

[topaz cape]

pressure plate?

[worldly ingot]

Leaked Mojang update

Feet clicking, 1.21

[umbral ridge]

lolll hahahaa

[young knoll]

What does Action.PHYSICAL actually return for getHand

[umbral ridge]

imagine

chest clicking

[sleek estuary]

Why is stone spawning instead of gold?

[umbral ridge]

pushups

[eternal night]

yea, I am actually collecting examples for this @worldly ingot I'll need a video of you pushing a button with your naked toes

thanks!

[worldly ingot]

Probably just HAND

[young knoll]

Sad

[young knoll]

You probably need to send a meta packet too

The heck is the integer in that constructor

[sleek estuary]

how?

[young knoll]

Uhh

[umbral ridge]

So basically...
Action.LEFT_CLICK_BLOCK is the same as EquipmentSlot.HAND

[young knoll]

That's old naming so idk what it was called

[worldly ingot]

"Equivalent" is doing some heavy lifting

[young knoll]

PacketPlayOutEntityMeta maybe

[sleek estuary]

thx

[worldly ingot]

Left click block will always be a hand slot, yes

[umbral ridge]

yeah...

XD

[worldly ingot]

but you can right click with the main hand too

So equivalent isn't correct

[young knoll]

You cannot left click with your offhand

yet

[umbral ridge]

really?

how

[worldly ingot]

By right clicking :p

[eternal night]

(its nullable for a reason)

[umbral ridge]

ohhh right yeah

[worldly ingot]

Is it?

[young knoll]

(Ur nullable)

[umbral ridge]

so wait if I go to the client settings and change my main hand to left / right.. is that a client side thing or will it apply ingame

[worldly ingot]

All my homies don't care about nullability of getHand() because we compare with == 😎

[umbral ridge]

and event

[eternal night]

[young knoll]

It's client side

[worldly ingot]

Server's aware of your main hand, but either way it's not a matter of "left" or "right" handedness

It's hand or off hand

[umbral ridge]

alright

[worldly ingot]

Your off hand can be either your left or your right

It's whatever hand is used for your offhand slot

[young knoll]

Your offhand can be left or right but it is always off

Which means of course your main hand is always on

[solar mortar]

hey question, could I get someone to help me to troubleshoot an install of xenforo? lmao

[young knoll]

Uhh

Not sure anyone here can help much with that

[solar mortar]

yeah I know, its mad offtopic, but I figured Id ask, on the offchance

[young knoll]

@worldly ingot did you happen to handle the xenforo install for hypixel

[worldly ingot]

lmao no. That shit would not be running if that were the case

[solar mortar]

xD

[topaz cape]

xenforo is easy to install though

[young knoll]

Do they actually use xenforo

I was memeing

[topaz cape]

they 99% do

[topaz cape]

oh yes 100%

just found out

[solar mortar]

yeah its og

[worldly ingot]

tippy tappy

[spare prism]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[topaz cape]

happy?

[worldly ingot]

NO

I liked the tippy tappies

[topaz cape]

i will pretend like i understand

[umbral ridge]

Hey if I check the block type at the itemframe location, why does it return AIR, when itemframe is placed there...

I guess itemframe isnt a solid block ? but how do you check for it

[worldly ingot]

The tapping of your thumbs on your phone was being recorded in your audio lol

[topaz cape]

oh i didnt notice xd, im in a Teams meet rn and wearing headphones

[umbral ridge]

Why is it AIR, when theres ITEM_FRAME placed there?

[chrome beacon]

item frame is an entity

[umbral ridge]

So.... I doo block instanceof Entity ?

XD

[chrome beacon]

no a block isn't an entity

[umbral ridge]

Exactly

how do i check for it

XD

How do I check for an entity that I know will always exist, at a certain block, in this case an item frame

[chrome beacon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#getNearbyEntities(org.bukkit.util.BoundingBox)

[inner mulch]

maybe listen for the right click (or any event that opens a chest) of a player, cancel it and open a new inventory with the contents of the chest

the contents should be in sync if done correctly

player.openInventory(chestInv);

[umbral ridge]

that always returns 0 in size no matter what

no matter how many itemframes i place around the location

[eternal night]

"around the location"

[umbral ridge]

yea

[eternal night]

upon closer inspection

[umbral ridge]

this is why its BoundingBox

[chrome beacon]

does that location happen to be at 5, 5, 5

[eternal night]

you'll notice you are not passing said location to the method

the bounding box is absolute

[umbral ridge]

I though BoundingBox was like an area lol

[eternal night]

and also, yea, wrong lol

it is

[umbral ridge]

a rectangle

[eternal night]

it is

but you are completely missusing it

[umbral ridge]

ohh I see

yeah i get it now

[sleek estuary]

animation that i want (gold): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQYT4gG3OCU second 0.22. any suggestion?
code: https://paste.md-5.net/seyilezope.cpp
my animation: https://imgur.com/a/ESXuvGK

[umbral ridge]

Ok so what am I doing wrong now?
I just need to check at the current location if theres a single itemframe, I am basically checking 1x1x1 block because I don't need more

its always zero

[eternal night]

again

read the javadocs on it

[remote swallow]

wheres the fuckin tippy tappies

[umbral ridge]

I am doing exactly that

[eternal night]

yea

no

[umbral ridge]

Yes

[eternal night]

okay

[umbral ridge]

I am looking at the 1x1x1 block

[eternal night]

how much volume fits into a cuboid

with its two corners exactly

at the same location

[topaz cape]

deleted so he feels better 😤

[umbral ridge]

i dont know

[eternal night]

what is the height of your cuboid

[umbral ridge]

1

[remote swallow]

bring it the fuck back

[eternal night]

no

think again

the first corner (the low one) has its y at blockY()

[umbral ridge]

Ahh

so I need the +1

[eternal night]

the high corner has its y also at blockY()

yes

[umbral ridge]

Alright

[eternal night]

or

you use one of the helper methods

that can do this for you

[umbral ridge]

Sure yeah what are they?

[eternal night]

BoundingBox#of

also visible in the javadocs 😉

[remote swallow]

ill make you visable in the javadocs

[eternal night]

say less

[grim ice]

spigotmc's members are so iconic

[remote swallow]

what else would we be

[grim ice]

like at this point, if i saw lynx irl i would instantly recognize him

just from how many times ive seen his pfp

[remote swallow]

i fuckin wouldnt

[grim ice]

same for 7smile

[remote swallow]

i can barely see the fact its a person let alone what he looks like

[grim ice]

basically no one changes anything about their profile

[grim ice]

you can't recognize a selfie is a picture of a person?

[remote swallow]

its small

[grim ice]

compact mode

lmfao

[remote swallow]

THATS A BATHROOM?!?

[grim ice]

yes...

[remote swallow]

I THOUGHT IT WAS A WARDROBE

[grim ice]

when you finally buy glasses:

im pretty sure this pic is at least 6 years old

or 5

[topaz cape]

noo 😦

[remote swallow]

bring it back or i start a vote ban

[grim ice]

also i cant believe 2022 is 2 years ago

that's crazy

and 2018 is 6 years ago..

[eternal night]

wtf do I come back to

also yikes

[grim ice]

💀

[eternal night]

my pic is so old

I shall update it

[remote swallow]

me thinking ur pfp was you stood infront of a wardrobe with a mirror

[grim ice]

dont

please

[eternal night]

nope

[grim ice]

NO

WHAT HAEV I DONE

[eternal night]

this is years old

time to change

I forgot about it tbh

I have compact mode without pictures

[grim ice]

nah this picture is tradition

[eternal night]

Welp

[grim ice]

cant break it now

[eternal night]

its time to look forward

[grim ice]

rip

[remote swallow]

how do you know who ur talking to with no pfps

[grim ice]

names

[eternal night]

their name?

the fuck

xD

[grim ice]

lol

[remote swallow]

who has the effort to read that

[grim ice]

fair

[remote swallow]

i made choco think i was simple by setting my pfp to his photo of an oraguntan

[grim ice]

apparently this is #help-development

didnt realize

[olive lance]

Clearance is good?

[plain plaza]

Is there a way to accurately detect whether a player hits an entity and misses it by hitting a block or air?

[drowsy helm]

could probably do a frustrum cast on an interact event but would be pretty costly

[plain plaza]

yeah, i tried depending on just the damage event and interact event, but they seem to both fire when hitting an entity

i didnt wanna check if an entity is actually in their view

guess i might have to do it

[young knoll]

Wait what

[drowsy helm]

you dont have to hit an entity for itneract event to fire

[young knoll]

How do you hit an entity but not hit an entity

Are you going for like, accurate hitboxes?

[plain plaza]

im trying to track the accuracy of hits, so i use the damage event for a successful hit, and the interaction for misses

[young knoll]

Ah

[plain plaza]

but at some certain distances, it also fires the interaction event despite hitting the entity

[young knoll]

You’d have to figure out which order they fire in

And then check if one is fired right after the other

[plain plaza]

yeah i figured im supposed to do that

ty

[umbral ridge]

how do you get the block's PDC again?

[worldly ingot]

Not all blocks have PDC

[young knoll]

Blocks don’t have pdc

[worldly ingot]

Only tile entities because they're the only ones that store NBT data

[umbral ridge]

I need it for a Sign

[young knoll]

Block entities do though

[umbral ridge]

It has it

[worldly ingot]

BlockState#getPersistentDataContainer()

[umbral ridge]

Ahhh block state

[young knoll]

Iirc it has to be a TileState

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, or your Sign object

Right, yeah, TileState, but practically all block states (if not all of them) are tile states

[young knoll]

Well no

[umbral ridge]

Awesome

[young knoll]

All blocks have a state, just most are the basic blockstate

[worldly ingot]

ye

Your Sign instance will have that method lol

[umbral ridge]

Yea figured it out lol

btw so from what I remember you first gotta create a NamespacedKey and then how do you use it?

[young knoll]

?

You just pass it as an argument

[umbral ridge]

I mean for checking the PDC

not writing it to the block

[young knoll]

PDC#get

Or has

[umbral ridge]

Noice

[umbral ridge]

Wait I shouldn't use new NamespacedKey("", "") ? How do I initialize the NamespacedKey class then

[young knoll]

You’re meant to use the one that takes a plugin and a string

[umbral ridge]

ohhhhhhhhhh

[rough ibex]

should never be used by plugins, for internal use only!!

[young knoll]

(I do it anyway)

Yeah im a rebel

[umbral ridge]

Alright a complicated question, so how do you place an itemframe and then rotate it based on the player's looking direction? XD

[drowsy helm]

Get player direction, normalise it to block face

done

[umbral ridge]

What about an itemframe? xDD

since it's an entity

I cant just setblock right

[drowsy helm]

you have the block face, just apply it accordingly

[nocturne knoll]

what is the process for gaining access to objects through dependent plugins? this is kinda driving me absolutely insane right now...

i've added my dependent plugin through my local maven repository (after trying to add it as a provided dependency in intellij to no avail) with the scope set to provided, registered it using the Bukkit servicesmanager, and i cannot get it back as a registeredserviceprovider using the same class in my other plugin... it's showing up in the plugin that registered it, however.

previous to that, i got the plugin instance from the pluginmanager and attempted to cast it to the type of the dependent plugin, but the cast failed as it's looking as though it's trying to use another classloader between plugins.

i can't find anything on the web for this and i'm about ready to punch GPT in the face

[lost matrix]

The plugin classloaders are parented by the spigot classloader and will end up searching on the same classpath on runtime.
If you have two plugins installed, then you can simply get an instance from other plugins through the static JavaPlugin methods,
or by having a singleton instance of your JavaPlugin implementation with a static getter in your plugin.

Example for the both:
// PluginA

public class PluginA extends JavaPlugin {

  private static PluiginA instance;

  public static PluginA getInstance() {
    return instance;
  }

  @Override
  public void onEnable() {
    instance = this;
  }

}

// PluginB

public class PluginB extends JavaPlugin() {
  @Override
  public void onEnable() {
    PluginA instanceA = PluginA.getInstance();
    PluginA anotherA = JavaPlugin.getPlugin(PluginA.class);
  }
}

Just make sure that the plugin.yml of PluginB contains a yml to signal this dependency:

depend: [PluginA, ...]

or

depend:
  - PluginA
  - ...

This ensures that the onLoad and onEnable methods on all dependencies are
called before yours is.

[nocturne knoll]

that was what i tried first. the dependency has been set in the plugin.yml file and load order has been verified.
the classes are not matching, and using a static reference still gets a null reference in pluginb

[ivory sleet]

What’s the reason for it being internalized anyway?

A certain fork does expose it as api iirc

[umbral ridge]

How do you get the block that the player is looking at

[lost matrix]

Are both plugins loaded without exceptions, and did you make sure to not shade one plugin into the other?

[lost matrix]

Player#rayTraceBlocks(...)
or
Player#getTargetBlock(...)

[umbral ridge]

wasn't there another way to do this
