[eternal oxide]

not BukkitTask

[wintry lynx]

I have to use Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(plugin, new Runnable() instead of Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(plugin, new BukkitRunnable()

[eternal oxide]

no

you are trying to use BukkitTask

[wintry lynx]

Yea... I need to create a task

[eternal oxide]

No, you need to create a BukkitRunnable

[wintry lynx]

And how would I do that?

Psudo code me

[eternal oxide]

it retuirns a Task

new BukkitRunnable

[wintry lynx]

Thats what im doing and it says "Depreciated"

So I need this, but i need to access the new BukkitRunnable() from within the run()

[eternal oxide]

this.cancel()

[wintry lynx]

I tried that

[ivory sleet]

BukkitRunnable can schedule itself

no need to use BukkitScheduler

[wintry lynx]

it loops?

[eternal oxide]

you append .runTaskTimer or runTask as you need

[ivory sleet]

new BukkitRunnable() {
@Override public void run() {

}
}.runTaskTimer(plugin,initialDelay,interval);

and BukkitRunnable#runTaskTimer returns a BukkitTask

so outside the runnable you can call bukkitTask.cancel();

and inside, this.cancel();

[wintry lynx]

Oh neat. Coulda sworn i needed the Bukkit.getScheduler()

[ivory sleet]

lol nopee

?scheduling does cover it iirc

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/scheduler-programming/

[ivory sleet]

well I did write it there

as long as someone didnt remove it x)

[dusky wigeon]

yml looks like pain to look at, would you guys recommend using JSON instead ?

[ivory sleet]

yml is supposed to be more friendly

well if u use its "common" style

but yeah json is fine?

[young knoll]

Imo it is

[wintry lynx]

Depends on the usage tbh

[young knoll]

If you show a user {} they’ll think it’s programming and get scared

[wintry lynx]

lol

[ivory sleet]

by common style I mean the block style so
key1: value
key2:
- elm1
- elm2

ofc u can use the flow style and make it look more jsony

#crazy its valid yml
{
  key: [1,2,3,{nestedKey: "sheesh"}]
  epic: *anchorFromSomewheereree

}

[dusky wigeon]

well that looks better.

but if i need a config file i will see if can make it so people use commands to do stuff and don't need to interact with the JSON file.

if not, yml it is.

[ivory sleet]

well

I think for sending and receiving data between programs and servers etc json is nice due to its stricter format, that also allows for it to be compactified

but well, all the brackets and curly brackets can make it somewhat harder to read and fiddle around with arguably

[gleaming token]

hey, is there any good way to get TPS? For now i have this, but it firstly returns 19 and after some minutes it is 20.
https://cdn.ismcserver.online/idea64_cGhPkufAHG.png

[ivory sleet]

i recall there being api for this

I think Bukkit.getTPS() should be fine?

[gleaming token]

i dont see such thing

[ivory sleet]

a frick, its a paper thing

[ivory sleet]

btw tps is internally measured iirc

in case u dont wna measure it urself ^^

[gleaming token]

hmm okey

thanks

[river oracle]

traitor

[young knoll]

(MD has rejected it a few times)

[worldly ingot]

In fairness, it is kind of a shit metric and not really anything developers should need access to

Some have argued they can disable features if TPS is too poor, but that's a really poor justification imo

[eternal oxide]

they could just monitor CPU usage

[young knoll]

We don’t get api access to the current tick either

Sadge

[river oracle]

yet people do and it being in the API doesn't really prevent that :P

you can try to stop people but you never really will

[vernal basalt]

is it possible to defen a player? So they can't hear certain sounds?

[rough ibex]

Hm.

Maybe.

You can either /stopsound (find a way to use this in spigot; im busy)

or intercept the sound packet if applicable (I think sounds happening are client-side though.)

[vernal basalt]

yeah i was going to say for example breaking blocks wouldn't that be client side

[echo basalt]

certain sounds are

What you can do is just have a resourcepack

[rough ibex]

Very true

Just blank out each sound definition, replace: true

[vernal basalt]

yeah but dynamically for different players

[valid burrow]

i need help with placeholder api

ive never really used it before

im trying to save 5 values globably that dont apply to a certain player but to the whole server

how would i do that

[lost matrix]

Create a class which manages those global values, make it a singleton, pass it to your PlaceholderExpansion via the constructor.
The placeholder gets the global values from this singleton.
You can pass the singleton to other listeners or commands and change the values there.

[echo basalt]

womp womp what about a map of functions

[valid burrow]

I just dont know what the methods are called

i cant find any proper doku

except these 10 lines

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/PlaceholderExpansion which only apply to player individual placeholders

[young knoll]

https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/developers/creating-a-placeholderexpansion/

Placeholders always have a player when resolved afaik

But you can just ignore it

[valid burrow]

oh okay

so what if people wanna use it eg in a scoreboard

oh wait

yh nvm

alr

yh i get it

then ill just do what i had before

[small valve]

For BungeeCord, I noticed the ServerConnectedEvent sometimes produces null when doing;

event.getPlayer().getServer(), is this intended? I wanna be able to get the server the player joins the proxy

It seems like a hit or miss if it returns null or not

[23:12:51 WARN]: Error dispatching event ServerConnectedEvent(player=DeadMan712, server=net.md_5.bungee.ServerConnection@e6a2fb8) to listener com.beanbeanjuice.simpleproxychat.utility.listeners.bungee.BungeeServerListener@ed37f28
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "net.md_5.bungee.api.connection.Server.getInfo()" because the return value of "net.md_5.bungee.api.connection.ProxiedPlayer.getServer()" is null

[drowsy helm]

have you tried delaying it by a tick

even though it shouldn't be returning null, might be worth a try

[lost matrix]

Yes this is intended. You should get the target server from the event event.getServer()
If you want to get the Server the player is currently on when connecting to another server, then the ServerConnectEvent should be used.

[cursive kite]

How can I remove health from my NPCs

[lost matrix]

By calling Entity#damage(double) for example?

*Given they are physical and not virtual

[cursive kite]

Sorry - I meant to hide the health bar from them lol

[lost matrix]

Depends on how this health bar is achieved...

[cursive kite]

            Scoreboard board = manager.getNewScoreboard();
            Objective health = board.registerNewObjective("showhealth", "health");
            health.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.BELOW_NAME);
            health.setDisplayName(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "❤");

            for(User online : Server.getOnlineUsers()) {
                health.getScore(online.getName()).setScore((int) online.getHealth());
            }```

[lost matrix]

But i would assume that this is the health display from Scoreboards.

[valid burrow]

well simply skip npcs

they must have some kind of identifier

[lost matrix]

Why are your NPCs in the online server list?

[valid burrow]

yh confuses me too

how did u spawn these xd

[cursive kite]

They aren't lol

my users are just a custom player class

[valid burrow]

then this code should not effect them

[valid burrow]

and are these NPCS in that custom player class?P

if so why dont they have an identifier

like

[cursive kite]

Nope custom NPC class with hella packets

[valid burrow]

then this code should not effect them

[cursive kite]

shouldnt but it gives them the health scoreboard lol

i only want it on players

[valid burrow]

well then they are in thew onlineuser list my guy

spigot wont just decide to put them there to bully you

[cursive kite]

i list the online users and its only 1 (me)

[valid burrow]

maybe it was set previously and never got removed?

[echo basalt]

usually the TAB plugin causes this with citizens

[cursive kite]

no plugins beside mine

[valid burrow]

.

thats really the only 2 options i can imagine

either it was already there

or your code sets it which requires them to be in the online users list

or there is some other code snipped u didnt show us that causes this

[cursive kite]

Removing the scoreboard entirely does remove the health so it has to be within there

NPC doesnt have it now but neither do i

[valid burrow]

well

i could analyse your whole code base now

but fact is

npcs seem to be inside Server.getOnlineUsers

thats the only possibility explanation

[wicked sinew]

If I'm wanting to make a crop field that players share, but the wheat blocks are unique to each player, in a sense that players can only see and break their own wheat fields, would I use ProtocolLib 🤨 I'm so outdated it hurts

[lost matrix]

Spigot has a method for sending "fake" blocks to players by using
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#sendBlockChange(org.bukkit.Location,org.bukkit.block.data.BlockData)

[wicked sinew]

Ok that makes sense, I saw that function mentioned in a 2018 post but I remember the SpigotAPI tend to go--- DEPRICATED every time you'd find something

[lost matrix]

The hard part will be listening to breaking those blocks, since the server has no idea that a player sees a block at this position, which means it will simply disregard packets by clients
which suggest they broke a block at that position.

Workaround: Actually spawn wheat there and make sure it doesnt get broken by players.

This will ensure the Spigot event being fired if they break a fake block.

[wicked sinew]

Can you actually... interact with those fake blocks? 🤔

Ah ok

ooooo smart dayum

[restive mango]

I'm in the process of updating an old plugin that used some old imports like net.minecraft.server.v1_16_R3.EntityCow, net.minecraft.server.v1_16_R3.EntityTypes, etc. to 1.18.2. Would anyone know where I could go to find what those classes became in the Mojang mappings?

Thank you 🙂

[lost matrix]

https://mappings.cephx.dev/

[restive mango]

thanks bro

wait

uh

...how do i use this tool

[crude drift]

Is there a bungee economy plugin thats open source?

[lost matrix]

Click on the 1.16.5 package, check your nms import, lookup the mojang name for it, go to 1.18.2 and pray its the same

[crude drift]

(istg this is related to development)

[restive mango]

this doesn't hm

okay

i will try

thanks smile

🙂

[crude drift]

like one that manages currency directly on bungee

[lost matrix]

Bridged for Vault?

[crude drift]

no

not really

[lost matrix]

I would just write one then. What do you need this for?

[crude drift]

basically what I'm trying to do is make a currency managed on the proxy that servers can use plugin messaging with the bungee and ask for players balance and to give them confirmation

[lost matrix]

Sounds good, what do you need the other plugin for?

[crude drift]

my network works on a model where users can have their servers connected to it, hence why I need to give the players confirmation

[crude drift]

just to look at for an idea of what to do

I haven't seen any currency plugin directly managed on the proxy before

[lost matrix]

Maybe the proxy is not the proper place for that.
If its for your own network then you might consider using Redis and store the data in a Database.

[crude drift]

The thing is, I can't trust the backend server's word when it comes to currency transfer

I was gonna make the proxy send a GUI or a book ui that makes the player confirm their transaction

[lost matrix]

Ah i see what you mean

So players can dynamically attach their servers to your network?

[crude drift]

with staff confirmation yes

currently we have joins closed so users can't attach their servers (we're rewriting our plugin for the backend servers)

the new system lets us dynamically attach servers with a tokenized system

the backend server connects to bungee first then negotiates attachment with a secret token issued to the server

[lost matrix]

You might want to consider a standalone application as well.
But that would require a decent project setup.

What part of the currency management is troubling you?

[crude drift]

if that goes fine then it gets connected as a bungee server

[crude drift]

Never wrote a currency plugin before.

[lost matrix]

The core is just a mapping from UUIDs to a Number.

[crude drift]

Alright.

[lost matrix]

The main hurdle will be the asynchronous nature of it

[lost matrix]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/bungeecord-messaging-with-callbacks.562809/

This might help for your messaging system

[crude drift]

Should I clone a known currency plugin's API for the spigot side?

so its compatible with plugins like EconomyShopGui immediately?

[restive mango]

Hi 7smile7, I'm just having some trouble doing the conversion. I will give an example:

I have the import net.minecraft.server.v1_16_R3.EntityZombie. I can use this in my code as follows:

private EntityZombie camera = new EntityZombie(((CraftWorld) player.getWorld()).getHandle());
camera.setInvisible(true);
camera.setLocation(centerLoc.getX(), centerLoc.getY(), centerLoc.getZ(), 0, 0);

Eventually, this was used to have the player spectate the zombie.

When I change this import to the class listed here, https://mappings.cephx.dev/1.18.2/net/minecraft/world/entity/monster/Zombie.html
'net.minecraft.world.entity.monster.Zombie', I no longer can either create a new EntityZombie using a CraftWorld, and I also lose access to the setInvisible and setLocation methods. Do you have any advice?

[lost matrix]

All economy plugins are bridged with Vault. But since Vault only allows sync currency management, and your system is inherently async, you wont be able
to have direct compatability with Vault plugins.

[crude drift]

Can there be multiple vault currencies?

[lost matrix]

Sure

[crude drift]

Do you think its safe to have the backend server ask for the player's balance when they join?

Since a player can only be on one bungee server at a time

Wait... I'd still need to have a way to delay whatever action is done until the player confirms

so I do need to stay async

I was eyeing playerpoints to see if it would be plausible to clone its API

[agile hollow]

how can i Apply the edits done in the config without Reloading the whole server

[rough ibex]

You can create a reload command specific for your plugin.

which reloads the config and makes any necessary updates

so you can do /myreallyverycoolplugin reload without using /reload.

[small valve]

i think there's a dedicated plugin.reloadCOnfig()

[torn shuttle]

I am starting to get rather tired of writing for loops, I wish there was a faster keyword for them

[lost matrix]

IntStream.range(0, 10).forEach(i -> {
            
});

/s

[torn shuttle]

like

until(x == 10){
//blah
}

would start an x integer at 0 and make it go up till it is equal to 10

[shadow night]

This is the most python-ish java I've ever seen

[torn shuttle]

for loops are cool because they are flexbile but realistically just how many times do we just need to go from 0 to a certain number

[lost matrix]

Go to kotlin, add a times method to Int and do

10.times{ it -> }

[shadow night]

Last time I looped from 0 to a number was when I was debugging my system by adding a lot of stuff to it

[torn shuttle]

that's actually kinda cool

is it breakable?

[torn shuttle]

I'm making a small game prototype and I feel like going from 0 to a number is half of the entire codebase I've written

initialize map sizes, initialize objects, initialize pools so on so forth

[onyx fjord]

with something like spark framework, how do you organize stuff so it isnt in one huge method?

[ivory sleet]

i bet u could split up each lambda for each route

[pallid oxide]

even can leave the lambda parameter out
10.times{ println(it) }

but probably gonna just stick with
(1..10).forEach { println(it) }
:D

[tardy delta]

10.times(::println)

[pallid oxide]

ye was thinking about it but u cant method reference in lambda like that but didnt realize u can just remove the lambda:D

[lost matrix]

I hate this...

[slender elbow]

same

[tardy delta]

i love it

My code is doing something very weird where the invincibility frame reduces from 10 ticks to 0 after shooting a player a couple times lol

Like I found out that something removed the i-frame and have been trying all day to find the cause lol

Apparently I'm doing something with bows and gotta go figure it out now

[twin venture]

hi , uhh i found a glitch ..
so when i click on the item to fast , it may or may not get the items to my inventory

[wet breach]

https://tenor.com/view/its-weird-kevin-hart-laugh-out-loud-cold-as-balls-strange-gif-17723761

[twin venture]

how i can disable it?

this is only preview items menu so player should not be able to take any item

[wet breach]

don't rely on events soley

[twin venture]

?_?

[wet breach]

use a task that constantly checks the inventory

[twin venture]

HUH?

[wet breach]

not sure why that is hard to grasp

[twin venture]

check what exactly?

[wet breach]

that they didn't take an item

[icy beacon]

Yeah lmao

[twin venture]

alr thanks

[wet breach]

when the custom inventory is opened

start your task

check that the inventory they had, is still the same and no extra items

if it has changed, change it back

[jagged bobcat]

Not sure if spigot has drag event, but if it does, check on it too (It's a drag event when it clicks quickly and moves most likely)

[wet breach]

don't really need it with a 1 tick repeating task

all you need to do is capture the state of the players inventory when the gui is opened

check the state captured with the current state

if they don't match, change it back to the state captured initially

cancel the task once the gui is closed 😉

[orchid trout]

how do i get a player's name with a uuid when he has never played on the server before?

shouldnt be possible in survival

[twin venture]

[hybrid spoke]

this is more or less a useless workaround. cool to have, but easily to bypass by just clicking faster and closing the inventory

[sand spire]

Hey, so I just started working with ProtocolLib and I send OPEN_SIGN_EDITOR packets to the player when the player sends CHAT packets containing "Sign", but the problem is that after this has happened once during the time the player is online, if the player sends any message that doesn't contain "Sign" they get kicked for "Chat message validation failure". Does anyone know why this is happening?

@Override
            public void onPacketReceiving(PacketEvent event) {
                PacketContainer packet = event.getPacket();
                String message = packet.getStrings().read(0);

                Player player = event.getPlayer();
                Location location = player.getLocation();
                System.out.println(message);

                if (message.contains("Sign")) {
                    event.setCancelled(true);
                    player.sendMessage("Opened Sign");

                    PacketContainer sign = new PacketContainer(PacketType.Play.Server.OPEN_SIGN_EDITOR);
                    sign.getBooleans().write(0, true);
                    sign.getBlockPositionModifier().write(0, new BlockPosition(location.getBlockX(), location.getBlockY(), location.getBlockZ()));
                    manager.sendServerPacket(player, sign);
                }
            }```

[hybrid spoke]

• bug prone, f.e. when you get an item dropped it will get removed

[wet breach]

just check the inventory after its closes then, I suppose you could try clicking faster then 10ms

[hybrid spoke]

canceling the event entirely should do the trick

otherwise get on protocol level and check it there

[wet breach]

no, relying on the events only is how you get the bugs

[hybrid spoke]

but that shouldnt be needed

[hybrid spoke]

bugs which only occur in creative

?gui

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-modern-approach-to-inventory-guis.594005/

and if you give your players creative access you have other problems then duplicating items from a menu

I've already spent an hour and it doesn't work.

        FontImageWrapper noneHeart = new FontImageWrapper("green_tavern:none_heart");

        int hp = (int) Math.round(owner.getHealth());

        int maxLines = (hp / 20) + ((hp % 20 == 0) ? 0 : 1);
        int fullLines = hp - maxLines-1;
        int remainHp = hp - (fullLines * 20);

        int fullHP = remainHp / 2;
        boolean hasHalf = (remainHp % 2) == 1;
        int empty = 10 - (fullHP + (hasHalf ? 1 : 0));


        Component fullLine = Component.text(heart.getString().repeat(10));

        for (int i = 0; i < fullHP; i++) {
            string.append(heart.getString());
        }
        if (hasHalf) {
            string.append(halfHeart.getString());
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < empty; i++) {
            string.append(noneHeart.getString());
        }
        result = result.append(Component.text(string.toString())).appendNewline();

        for(int i = 0; i < fullLines; i++){
            result = result.append(fullLine);
            if((i + 1) != fullLines){

            }
        }
        return result;
    }
``` now it has code smth like this

    int emptyHearts = Math.max(0, (maxHp - currentHp) / 2);

Oh no! You ran into a problem. But no worries, people are willing to help, but first they need to see your code. This is because otherwise, they would be providing help based on guesses instead of concrete knowledge. Whether it be a compile error, runtime error, or an unexpected output, I'm sure that if you were to provide code, you'd receive a quick solution.

[lost matrix]

Hm

First validate that the createHealthBar method works.

[ocean hollow]

I tried instead of 20 - 10, then it splits into 4 lines

[lost matrix]

Does the single line produce a long enough String?

[lost matrix]

Ok looks good. Let me check if the multiline method is scuffed

[lost matrix]

  public Component createMultiLineHealthBar(int currentHp, int maxHp, int heartsPerLine, String fullHeart, String halfHeart, String emptyHeart) {
    int numberOfLines = (int) Math.ceil((double) maxHp / heartsPerLine);

    String healthBar = createHealthBar(currentHp, maxHp, fullHeart, halfHeart, emptyHeart);
    String[] splitLines = new String[numberOfLines];

    for (int i = 0; i < numberOfLines; i++) {
      int start = i * heartsPerLine;
      int end = Math.min(maxHp, start + heartsPerLine);
      splitLines[i] = healthBar.substring(start, end);
    }

    Component multiLineComponent = Component.text("");
    for (String line : splitLines) {
      Component lineComponent = Component.text(line);
      multiLineComponent = multiLineComponent.append(lineComponent);
    }

    return multiLineComponent;

This should yield the same result as just the single line.
Could you check that?

Ah, missed that one heart is actually 2hp -.-

    String healthBar = createHealthBar(currentHp, maxHp, fullHeart, halfHeart, emptyHeart);
    String[] splitLines = new String[numberOfLines];

    for (int i = 0; i < numberOfLines; i++) {
      int start = i * heartsPerLine;
      int end = Math.min(healthBar.length(), start + heartsPerLine);
      splitLines[i] = healthBar.substring(start, end);

Is there a more efficient way to make crops grow back fully after 5 seconds?

i was thinking of creating a runnable that sets the growth stage to max after 5 seconds for each crop but that could be wasteful in terms of resources

if players are farmings crops quickly

[inner mulch]

.runtasklater?

unless its cactus

[earnest forum]

yeah thats my idea

but i was just wondering if there was a more efficient alternative

or if this way is actually optimized and wont slow down the servere

[inner mulch]

the tasks will be gone after 5 seconds

unless you repeat them

[icy beacon]

New ocp pfp 😮

[lost matrix]

There is not much you can do, other than respawning the Blocks with a runnable.
The most performance gain is achieved with an efficient implementation.
One question you need to answer first: How do you handle Blocks which should respawn, but are currently in unloaded chunks.

[inner mulch]

@earnest forum if you are worried you can loadbalance this

[earnest forum]

@Override
    public void handleBlockBreak(Player player, ItemStack tool, BlockBreakEvent e) {
        Block block = e.getBlock();
        //TODO check if player is in farming zone
        if (block.getState().getBlockData() instanceof Ageable ageable){
            e.setDropItems(false);
            ageable.setAge(0);
            block.setBlockData(ageable);
            getBrokenBlockDrops(player, tool, block).forEach(drop ->{
                player.getInventory().addItem(drop);
            });
            e.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }

well heres my current code

[echo basalt]

Yeah I just have a runnable for each block

[earnest forum]

i was just going to add a runnable after the event cancel that sets it back to max age

[lost matrix]

I hope /s

[echo basalt]

[earnest forum]

yeah this is the functionality im hoping to achieve ^

[spare hazel]

i will use a list of the blocks with some extra data like a timer and then run it every 5 seconds and lower 1 from each blocks timer and if it reaches 0 we are going to respawn and remove from list

[echo basalt]

Sounds like a list isn't the right data structure for you

[sand spire]

so satisfying 🥹

[earnest forum]

problem is this wont be exactly a 5 second timer

actually wait no

[lost matrix]

Guys pls no... Dont decrement a timer and dont start a task for every block

[inner mulch]

timestamps

:)

i did it myself too 😔

[lost matrix]

Here is my proposal:

public record RespawnableBlock(Location location, BlockData blockData, long respawnTick) implements Comparable<RespawnableBlock> {

  public boolean isValid() {
    return location.isChunkLoaded();
  }

  public void respawn() {
    location.getBlock().setBlockData(blockData);
  }

  @Override
  public int compareTo(@NotNull RespawnableBlock other) {
    return Long.compare(respawnTick, other.respawnTick);
  }
}

public class BlockRespawnTask implements Runnable {

  private final PriorityQueue<RespawnableBlock> respawnQueue = new PriorityQueue<>();

  public void addBlock(RespawnableBlock block) {
    respawnQueue.add(block);
  }

  @Override
  public void run() {
    int currentTick = Bukkit.getCurrentTick();
    while (!respawnQueue.isEmpty() && respawnQueue.peek().respawnTick() <= currentTick) {
      RespawnableBlock block = respawnQueue.poll();
      if (block.isValid()) {
        block.respawn();
      }
    }
  }
}

Just start this task when the server starts and add respawnable blocks to it.

[earnest forum]

what does .peek() do?

[inner mulch]

where is .peek

oh

[icy beacon]

Operates on a member of a stream without modifying it

[inner mulch]

loadbalancing

[icy beacon]

Oh were you not takling about streams

[earnest forum]

talking about priority queue

[lost matrix]

The PriorityQueue is ordered by the time the blocks are supposed to respawn.
Each tick you poll from the top of the Queue until the first block doesnt have to respawn.
-> This automatically invalidates all other blocks which are in the queue because every entry behind that is even further in the future.

[icy beacon]

Mb

[lost matrix]

peek() looks at the top of the queue but does not retrieve the element.
Its like poll() but without removing

[earnest forum]

ah righ\t

is .respawnTick() supposed to be part of the record you sent?

[inner mulch]

yes

[icy beacon]

Does this look right to you guys? I'm trying to figure out why the spawned wolf does not attack players, but only mobs, when its owner attacks somebody (e.g. if its owner hits a player, the dog will aggro but won't deal damage; if the owner hits a pig, the dog will start damaging the pig)

      // no consumers in 1.8 which i'm unfortunately forced to use for this plugin
      (player.world.spawnEntity(player.location, EntityType.WOLF) as Wolf).apply {
        setAdult()
        maxHealth = 35.0
        health = maxHealth
        isTamed = true
        owner = player
      }

I've removed all my damage-related listeners and the result is the same Nvm, spawning a vanilla wolf and taming it does the same. It's something with my listeners or maybe an external plugin This happens even with no plugins at all, wtf? The problem was that wolves do not attack players in peaceful. Crisis averted.

[earnest forum]

oh do records automatically create methods like that?

thats interesting

doesn't look like compareTo is being used, can i just leave that out?

[lost matrix]

    BlockRespawnTask respawnTask = ...; // Should be a singleton from somewhere. Only create 1 instance ever.
    
    Location loc = ...;
    Ageable blockData = (Ageable) Material.WHEAT.createBlockData();
    blockData.setAge(blockData.getMaximumAge());
    int respawnTick = Bukkit.getCurrentTick() + 100;
    RespawnableBlock respawnableBlock = new RespawnableBlock(loc, blockData, respawnTick);
    
    respawnTask.addBlock(respawnableBlock);

This would be a usage example

Use system millis then (long)

Any reason why you think so?

[twin venture]

how i can fix it?

[shadow night]

That doesn't sound like a problem

[icy beacon]

I personally like the second one more because the color coding of just the first characters helps distinguish between good and bad messages. But I see that you guys prefer the first one. I want to know why you think so, maybe I'm missing something

[sand spire]

I think the colorcoding of the entire first message helps distinguish between good and bad, the 2nd one are the same colors except for the [, which is hard to notice. Also I don't really like the look of bold for the entire message

[wet breach]

the first one

because I don't like those extra stuff in between what I want to see

[icy beacon]

Alright, thanks for your input, I'll go with the first one 🙂

[sand spire]

Also I would prefer the last one over the first one if the weird emoji's weren't there and the prefix was changd

[lost ledge]

Any tips on how to put bukkit/spigot and bungeecord support into one jar file? Because they both use the same plugin.yml file.
I'm pretty new to multi-platform support

[fallen lily]

Last one without the blocks, and I would suggest changing it to "Killed by player x with <weapon name> (<kit name>)”

If the kits contain special items ofc

You were killed by Player with their Necromancer Sword (Necromancer Kit)

For example

[icy beacon]

I want my message to look kinda extra (but not too extra), which is why I use the blocks. Maybe some other character would look better as the prefix?

[tall dragon]

Create a base module with a bunch of interfaces. Then make a module for each platform implementing the interfaces

[restive mango]

this is a basic ide question

but uh

[fallen lily]

Depending on mc version, its possible to render custom textures on the chat bar

[restive mango]

is there a way to just automatically // out all broken classes

[icy beacon]

Unfortunately I'm coding this plugin against 1.8

[fallen lily]

I would personally just prefix it with an icon

Skull / Sword

[icy beacon]

Really good point

[lost ledge]

i don't understand? That doesn't fix the problem of both needing a different class for the startup logic and using the same plugin.yml, which prevents me from just having different main classes for them

[icy beacon]

Do you like that?

I personally really do

Hope minecraft can render these lol

[tall dragon]

Well ur going to need to build for each platform seperately

U cant rlly cleanly use the same jar

[lost ledge]

Oh nvm, just found out that bungeecord supports a bungee.yml that loads with higher priority than plugin.yml

[chrome beacon]

paper has their own plugin yml too

even if it didn't you can just check the platform you're on in the onEnable

[wet breach]

for what purpose?

[icy beacon]

Commission purpose i'm torturing myself but i don't have the balls to say that i am voluntarily coding this particular plugin for 1.8 so i make excuses like "commissions"

Getting paid well though

[wet breach]

I refuse commissions for outdated stuff

[icy beacon]

I don't mind 1.8 as long as it's not something crazy

I mostly draw the line at whether I have to use pdc or not lol

[lost ledge]

yeah but bungeecord uses a different Plugin interface than Spigot does, so there will be a ClassNotFoundException i think

[chrome beacon]

yeah not talking about that

bungee uses it's own yml

BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(config.getCurrentPath()));
writer.write(upgrade);

writer.close();
plugin.reloadConfig();
plugin.config = plugin.getConfig();```

[blazing ocean]

seems about right

[lost matrix]

config.getCurrentPath() ?

[peak jetty]

how do i do something if the player enters a boundingBox (only on enter)

[lost matrix]

Listen to PlayerMoveEvent

[chrome beacon]

Didn't we tell you that yesterday?

[peak jetty]

that would make make it happen even if the player is already in the area tho

[cinder abyss]

not working :/

[lost matrix]

Yes, ofc not

[cinder abyss]

an empty string

so I'm trying using getName

[lost matrix]

The write logic to prevent that...

[chrome beacon]

Use a Set/HashMap to store if the player is in the region

^^

[blazing ocean]

dont

[cinder abyss]

and... returns an empty string 👍

[blazing ocean]

get your datafolder and then config.yml

[cinder abyss]

okay thanks

[blazing ocean]

so like File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "config.yml") (in java file representation)

[lost matrix]

A FileConfiguration is not a File.
It exists purely in memory and has no idea in which File it is going to be saved in.

[peak jetty]

how would that be like?

[cinder abyss]

yeah

plugin.getDataFolder() + "/config.yml" ?

[blazing ocean]

idt you can use the + operator on a file and string 🤓

get the full path of the datafolder + config.yml

[cinder abyss]

oh my bad

[cinder abyss]

and not + "/config.yml"?

[blazing ocean]

that should work

[cinder abyss]

okay thanks

[blazing ocean]

plugin.getDataFolder().getFullPath() + "/config.yml" ig

no actualy

its the relative path

[cinder abyss]

oh okay

okay thanks I'll try

[blazing ocean]

relative*

im stupid mb

[cinder abyss]

x)

no it's absolute

[blazing ocean]

absolute = /home/user/server/plugins/myplugin/config.yml, relative = plugins/myplugin/config.yml

[cinder abyss]

🤔

[blazing ocean]

i just use java file objects xd

[eternal oxide]

why are you using paths to get a config.yml?

[cinder abyss]

💀

so, how should I use it?

[blazing ocean]

java file writing is weird man

[lost matrix]

    File configFile = new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml");
    YamlConfiguration configuration = ...;
    configuration.save(configFile);

getDataFolder() is from JavaPlugin.class

[cinder abyss]

and I'm a weird man 🤓

[eternal oxide]

Plugin#getConfig()

you never need to touch Files

[blazing ocean]

.-.

[cinder abyss]

I want to upgrade config.yml when the version is outdated

just that

[eternal oxide]

you still don;t need files

[cinder abyss]

I should use that?

[eternal oxide]

you can getResource from teh jar for the new config

getConfig() will get teh one in the plugins data folder

[bleak moth]

Hi, i make a plugin which should fix that the teams suffix isnt shown in chat, so i need to edit the Chatmessage with the onChat Event. I heard that there is a way to do that and dont get in the way of other plugins which add Ranks and Set the rank name before the name. I dont want to interfer with these, is there a guide or a specific tutorial which shows that?

[blazing ocean]

why would team suffixes not show

i thought they did?

[eternal oxide]

set the resource as default to teh getConfig() merge and save

[cinder abyss]

okay thanks, but I need to use BufferredWriter to write?

[eternal oxide]

no]

[cinder abyss]

hmm

[cinder abyss]

but I want to keep user options

[eternal oxide]

yes

one sec

[cinder abyss]

okay

[eternal oxide]

?stash for me

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/

[bleak moth]

they dont i dont really know why it doesnt show. It seems like it worked some time ago but now its not working. I wanted to add The teams suffix in chat but i dont need a complicated Rank plugin. I want to write a Plugin which is so simple only fixing this.

[blazing ocean]

paper actually has a good guide for this: https://docs.papermc.io/paper/dev/chat-events

[eternal oxide]

saveDefaultConfig();
getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
getConfig().setDefaults(YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(new InputStreamReader(getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("config.yml"), Charsets.UTF_8)));
saveConfig();```

[cinder abyss]

oh I see thanks 😄

[eternal oxide]

not tested but that "should" add any new entries to an already existing config

[cinder abyss]

okay thanks

I'm testing for you 😄

[eternal oxide]

you could even prefix it with a saveDefaultConfig()

so you know there is always a config

[cinder abyss]

yeah I'm already doing that

[cinder abyss]

comments aren't added...

[eternal oxide]

um, not sure comments will pass as defaults

[cinder abyss]

humm

[eternal oxide]

comment parsing is default true, but they will not be used from a defaults

[cinder abyss]

there is no way to allow them to be used?

[eternal oxide]

not that I know of

[dapper flower]

any idea how to check if item got renamed in an anvil? like has bold name, i cannot use hasDisplayName as it creates conficts so i need to check if it is bold or not

[blazing ocean]

check with the renaming event

[cinder abyss]

maybe something interesting

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/custom-yaml-files-with-comments.111821/

[blazing ocean]

does that event even exist

couldnt find one

[eternal oxide]

thats just saving a resource

[cinder abyss]

yeah

[muted dirge]

yaml is cool

[fleet imp]

how to get an entity a player is looking at

[muted dirge]

there is an event named anvil active or something

[icy beacon]

Nice rendering lmao (swords render fine)

[inner mulch]

r u working on minigames?

[icy beacon]

This is kitpvp so kinda yeah

Currently refining the messages to look cool

[inner mulch]

are your messages following ocp

?

[icy beacon]

Nothing does. It is impossible

[inner mulch]

no NO

[bleak moth]

is this paper only? Can i do this while working with spigot api?

[dapper flower]

i don't need an event tho

[inner mulch]

if you want to change chatmessages the easy way, just cancel them and send one from server, then you have the full freedom :)

[muted dirge]

how you're gonna check if they've renamed an item in the anvil

?

[blazing ocean]

paper only

[inner mulch]

rad r u german

[blazing ocean]

yea

[dapper flower]

as i said if the name of the item is bold it means it got renamed by anvil

[inner mulch]

ok

[lost matrix]

No there is no way. What do you need this for?

[dapper flower]

bet there is, just say you don't know, there is a tag in item data that says whatever a text is bold or not, i want to access that

[muted dirge]

why not using the event?

[blazing ocean]

what event

there is none

[blazing ocean]

nuh uh

[muted dirge]

PrepareAnvilEvent

this event

[icy beacon]

Bold statement

[blazing ocean]

doesnt include an itemstack

[inner mulch]

there is not way to check if it got renamed
you can check if it gets renamed

[blazing ocean]

but not check the actual name

[muted dirge]

🧐

[inner mulch]

read the contex

t

he asked how to see if it got renamed

[muted dirge]

we save the item on inventory change

then compare

?

[inner mulch]

mehran

[lost matrix]

Your question was if there is a way to check if an item was renamed in an anvil or not. And the answer to that is: No there is no direct way.
Again: What do you need this for and what is the correlation between bold text and renamed items?

[inner mulch]

we are not talking bout anvils

[muted dirge]

oh

ok

[inner mulch]

i think he is talking about that renamed items have an italic name

and he is tryna get that info

[blazing ocean]

in that case check if it contains the italic token

ChatColor.ITALIC iirc

[lost matrix]

He cant use the displayName apparently. So this is going to be hard.
Pretty sure there is simply a better solution to whatever he is trying to do.
He just has to spill the beans to us.

[dapper flower]

i have a slimefun item that has to be checked to do X , i am using its name to do that, and as i am dealing with player heads i don't want a player to rename a random head to use it for X

[lost matrix]

Pretty sure slimefun has NBT tags on their items. Nobody should ever use the displayName of an ItemStack to check if it is a custom item or not.

[dapper flower]

no idea how NBT tags work tho

[fleet imp]

how to get an entity a player is looking at

[lost matrix]

Let me take a look at what they do real quick. Last time i checked a few years ago they did some atrocious things in their code.

[buoyant viper]

raytrace? idk

[icy beacon]

You can use World#rayTraceEntities()

Or is it Player#rayTraceEntities() idr

[lost matrix]

Yeah, rayTraceEntities. Just make sure to filter out the ray caster.

[fleet imp]

ok...

i will probably be back

player does not implement raytraceentities

[icy beacon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#rayTraceEntities(org.bukkit.Location,org.bukkit.util.Vector,double)

[fleet imp]

so pass the player's location and facing vector?

[icy beacon]

You need this probably https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#rayTraceEntities(org.bukkit.Location,org.bukkit.util.Vector,double,double,java.util.function.Predicate)

Iirc yeah

[dapper flower]

thank you, if you find the part of the code that address it send me it please

[fleet imp]

will it return a list, or just the first entity it runs into

[icy beacon]

RayTraceResult

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

Read em docs

[fleet imp]

k

[lost matrix]

They... extend org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack

[dapper flower]

not very orthodox practice ig

[lost matrix]

There we go. They use PDC tags.

Dont they have an API directly?

[dapper flower]

i am working on a custom build i made myself because i had to adapt some features

not sure if api would help

[lost matrix]

Alright i found their pdc tag

[solemn meteor]

how do I stop my plugin from loading (if something goes wrong during initialization)

[dapper flower]

where is this defined?

[icy beacon]

Throw an uncaught exception in onEnable and the plugin will shutdown

Or you can just call PluginManager#disablePlugin

[solemn meteor]

which one is safer

I assume its disable plugin

[icy beacon]

None is "safer". Your plugin stops in both cases

[lost matrix]

  private static final NamespacedKey SLIMEFUN_ITEM_KEY = NamespacedKey.fromString("Slimefun:slimefun_item");

  public static boolean isSlimefunItem(ItemStack itemStack) {
    if (itemStack == null) {
      return false;
    }
    ItemMeta meta = itemStack.getItemMeta();
    if (meta == null) {
      return false;
    }
    PersistentDataContainer dataContainer = meta.getPersistentDataContainer();
    return dataContainer.has(SLIMEFUN_ITEM_KEY);
  }

See if this works

[dapper flower]

how to post images

i just verified yet i cant

[icy beacon]

?img

[undone axle]

Can't send images? That's because you're not verified! Use !verify to complete verification.
Alternatively, you can upload screenshots to any image hosting site and share the link.

Here's some screenshot utilities that you can use to upload images.
Lightshot: https://prnt.sc
Imgur: https://imgur.com/upload
Flameshot: https://flameshot.org

[icy beacon]

Now you can

[eternal oxide]

relog for the verify to fix

[dapper flower]

alr

doesn't work but maybe i can make a fix

ok neither the workaround neither that code works

[topaz cape]

how do i play the potion drinking sound correctly

playing it plays only first like 0.5s of the sound or smth

[eternal oxide]

play it 6 times

[icy beacon]

I'm also curious now

[icy beacon]

Fr or no?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[icy beacon]

Holy shit

[eternal oxide]

with a slight delay between each

[lost matrix]

What about the code doesnt work?

[topaz cape]

how much delay 👀

[eternal oxide]

the sound is 0.5 seconds but you need to overlap a little

it takes 3.5 seconds to drink a potion

so 70 ticks total

[topaz cape]

70 ticks to drink a potion? 👀

dyam

[dapper flower]

fixed
private static final NamespacedKey SLIMEFUN_ITEM_KEY = NamespacedKey.fromString("Slimefun:slimefun_item"); was the error the actual tag is slimefun:slimefun_item with lowercase s

[eternal oxide]

first start playing one after another 0.5 seconds apart

[icy beacon]

Geniunely confused as to why that'd work? Wouldn't playSound restart the sound?

[topaz cape]

10 ticks apart

[twin venture]

Hello there , iam trying to make a database.settings , but its empty everytime the server create it :

[eternal oxide]

then shorten it slightly to be in time with yoru animation

[lost matrix]

right. Tell me if it detect slimefun items now

[twin venture]

this is my database class

[topaz cape]

like first time 10 then 9, then 8?

does that sound right?

[sick hinge]

does a task ran with runTaskTimer and an event handler run on the same thread?

[dapper flower]

it does it does 😄 ty

[eternal oxide]

just do a repeating task at 10 ticks. cancel when you played 6 times

[topaz cape]

aight sure

[twin venture]

the file is being created but null values :

[lilac dagger]

i didn't remember json allowing for annotations, that's nice

[blazing ocean]

reminds me of golang

[lilac dagger]

i don't see you saving it

[twin venture]

like this?

[lost matrix]

The expose annotation is redundant for a default Gson instance.
You should create a default File if none exists

[twin venture]

trying to make easy json file manager :

[lilac dagger]

i think the saveconfig method is wrong

i think you need something like toJson Writer

[twin venture]

yeah

i do

[muted dirge]

how do i register a custom entity in net.minecraft.world.entity.EntityType?

[lost matrix]

  public void loadConfig() {
    File configFile = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "database.json");
    if(configFile.exists()) {
      this.settings = gson.fromJson(new FileReader(configFile), DatabaseSettings.class);
    } else {
      this.settings = new DatabaseSettings();
    }
    // Always save the config to merge default values
    this.saveConfig();
  }

[twin venture]

now it should work

[lilac dagger]

i also don't think flush is correct

you might wanna look into how writer works exactly

wasn't it something like print?

unless tojson does that which i bet it does

[twin venture]

it works on my other plugins

this way..

[lilac dagger]

it's just very weird that's all

[twin venture]

testing :p

still null uhu

[lilac dagger]

if it doesn't work then you have some weird condition that enables it to work there

[lost matrix]

I would probably use nio for this. I find it simpler:

  public void loadConfig() {
    File configFile = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "database.json");
    if(configFile.exists()) {
      String json = Files.readString(configFile.toPath());
      this.settings = gson.fromJson(json, DatabaseSettings.class);
    } else {
      this.settings = new DatabaseSettings();
    }
    // Always save the config to merge default values
    this.saveConfig();
  }
  
  public void saveConfig() {
    File configFile = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "database.json");
    if(!configFile.exists()) {
      configFile.createNewFile();
    }
    String json = gson.toJson(this.settings);
    Files.writeString(configFile.toPath(), json);
  }

[twin venture]

i was thinking about using yaml files but ehh

i think json is nicer and easier

[sick hinge]

everything runs in a single thread as long as you don't use anything that's "async" right? or do I misunderstand how spigot works

[lilac dagger]

i think yaml is more beautiful for end users

[twin venture]

really?

[lilac dagger]

plus there's no random {} to delete by mistake

[lost matrix]

You can map json to yml if you want. Im doing that with Jacksons YAMLMapper

[twin venture]

nice , would love to try it out

[sick hinge]

yml is easier to use for end-users probably

json is better for serialization

[lilac dagger]

i agree

yml for files is probably the best choice

[lost matrix]

    String json = ...;
    try {
      JsonNode tree = this.objectMapper.readTree(json);
      String yml = this.yamlMapper.writeValueAsString(tree);
    } catch (JsonProcessingException e) {
      throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }

Other way around:

    String yml = ...;
    try {
      JsonNode tree = this.yamlMapper.readTree(yml);
      String json = this.objectMapper.writeValueAsString(tree);
    } catch (JsonProcessingException e) {
      throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }

The mappers needed:

    this.objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
    this.yamlMapper = new YAMLMapper();

[twin venture]

for settings.yml , and database.yml right?

[lilac dagger]

yeah

[muted dirge]

?

[lilac dagger]

serialization is great because you can contract text

yaml is mostly formatted for end users

json beatifying is an after taught

[lost matrix]

nms is generally not supported. Its a anarchistic wasteland.
Try to check what others did and hope that it works for your version.
Prying open frozen registries is always a hustle. Pretty sure you will have to do that.

[muted dirge]

I think i should do the old way and use reflection

[lost matrix]

You will need both nms and reflections. If you use only reflections then you will have a much harder time.

[lost matrix]

EntityType has a static register method.

  private static <T extends Entity> EntityType<T> register(String id, Builder type) {
    return (EntityType)Registry.register(BuiltInRegistries.ENTITY_TYPE, id, type.build(id));
  }

So all you need to do is call

Registry.register(BuiltInRegistries.ENTITY_TYPE, id, type.build(id));

With your custom id and an instance of EntityType.Builder
Which has a static of() method.

The factory is just an functional interface

[worldly ingot]

Fairly confident that registry is frozen

[twin venture]

Thanks , i got it working now .

[lost matrix]

Yeah already mentioned that

[worldly ingot]

And even if you unfreeze it, there's a non-zero chance the client will crash because that registry is synched, as far as I know

[lost matrix]

[rough drift]

it is!!

I know how to fix it but it requires severe reflections

and severe hacks

[worldly ingot]

And as a bonus, you have no access to Bukkit entities because CraftBukkit doesn't understand that custom type

[rough drift]

which break every minor update, if you want

[slender elbow]

no it isn't?

[worldly ingot]

Is it not? I thought it was

Probably misremembering

[twin venture]

what do you think is better spawning bukkit entity [like 50 , or 100 or more depend on the server owner want .] or spawn entities using packets?
and it will send the packets to the user?

[rough drift]

choco is right

the client will crash

[slender elbow]

crap like trim materials and some other random stuff is

[rough drift]

you need to translate the entity

goes for items, blocks and some other props too

[echo basalt]

sounds like a design issue

[slender elbow]

it's like, 5 or 6 registries are synced

[worldly ingot]

CB still won't be happy with you though :p So if you ever want to invoke getBukkitEntity() then you're SOL

[twin venture]

lootbox with armorstand as the entity ..

[rough drift]

nope!

That still works :P

if I'm not completely fried

[worldly ingot]

Not anymore

[rough drift]

a h.

[worldly ingot]

It used to default to a non-specific CraftEntity but now it throws an exception

[echo basalt]

If we reworked CraftEntity.getEntity into an NMSEntity#createCraftMirror life would be good

[twin venture]

your ideas guys?

[worldly ingot]

[echo basalt]

But last time I pitched this I was turned down for having to modify every nms entity class

even though it allows for some very funny behavior

unless someone makes those methods final :(

[hybrid spoke]

displayentity ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rough drift]

I love how using a map is just not something that's done in that huge method

[lost matrix]

throw new AssertionError("Unknown entity " + entityType);

[echo basalt]

what if you just trycatch it

[twin venture]

for newer version yeah

[rough drift]

😭

[echo basalt]

and do some hacky stuff

[twin venture]

what about 1.16.5 and older?

[rough drift]

You can @echo basalt, with Unsafe, technically edit the field ig?

[echo basalt]

ofc

[hybrid spoke]

update

[rough drift]

and return a generic entity that wraps your entity

[echo basalt]

throwback to when I hacked in an universal craftscheduler on folia servers

[worldly ingot]

All this conversation is making clear is that you're going through significant effort for something that's probably going to break and is not worth doing lol

[rough drift]

5 days ago???

[echo basalt]

lmao yeah

[worldly ingot]

If you want a new entity, use Fabric or Forge :p

That's what they're for

[rough drift]

but but but I need to run my CratesUltimateEpikProPlusDeluxeEdition++ that's 69420Petabytes (without dependencies) and has a 4.78Quadrilion line config to setup an overcomplicated version of a loot table!!!!

[lost matrix]

In the old days when i had no idea about how any of this worked, i just slapped a Scoreboard String on the entity (PDC wasnt a thing yet) and simply
checked the tags in the ChunkLoadEvent, then replaced the vanilla entity with my custom one.

[echo basalt]

just sent a 200mb .zip bomb to one of my customers

[echo basalt]

I believe at some point I made a system to assign a unique id with color codes on item lore

And associate data to that unique id

[lost matrix]

I remember a plugin doing that.

public static final String SECRET_NAME_PREFIX = "§a§c§a§9§r";

And then checked if the name contained this prefix (which ended with §r to reset the formatting)

[echo basalt]

Well yeah but in my case it was more sophisticated

[lost matrix]

From codisimo i think

What was it...

[echo basalt]

Think of generating a uuid, grabbing both longs and rendering them as §hex

[rough drift]

I just checked references tbh 💀

[echo basalt]

Well yeah but database support

it was dank

[rough drift]

put the InventoryView in a map

[rough drift]

database?? reload and your config is gon

[echo basalt]

blud i'm talking about itemstacks that players can mess with

It was bootleg pdc

[rough drift]

😭

[echo basalt]

I've done all kinds of hacky stuff tbf

Extending nms entities and rewriting all movement logic to collide with client-sided blocks

uH

[rough drift]

I once made a client-side chunk space that had actual loading and server-side culling with my friend

[echo basalt]

I think I had a client-sided world manager at some point

hm I once tried making fl studio in minecraft

had a system to order domino's within minecraft

that was fun

[shadow night]

actually

you should use the java chromium embedded framework or whatever it was called and write an utility that would let you access the internet from a minecraft server

[lilac dagger]

wait, why?

that sounds like such a huge undertake

[wicked sinew]

Ok question, since this is something I always struggled with-- is there a hot-reload or better way to compile a plugin and restart a server yet? 💀 Such as JRebel for Minecraft

[scenic sigil]

hello, when i start the minecraft's server my plugin don't start who help me to resolve?

[lilac dagger]

just /reload

[scenic sigil]

for compilating i use IntellijDEA Comunity

[shadow night]

...and break everything

[valid burrow]

there could be a million reasons

[lilac dagger]

should be fine for testing

[echo basalt]

It used selenium and a lot of wrapping to send requests

[valid burrow]

why does it not start? is there an error

[echo basalt]

it could process your entire pizza order in like 15 seconds it was wacky

[echo basalt]

I had a minigame and couldn't bother doing temporary worlds

so I just made it all client-sided

[shadow night]

100% efficiency

[scenic sigil]

there isn't a code problem

[valid burrow]

i mean in the startup log

is there an error in the servers console

[lilac dagger]

impressive, but that is so hard to do

[echo basalt]

well tbf there's a lot you can do

[echo basalt]

eh

Not really

Just time consuming

specially given I hadn't set up mappings yet

[scenic sigil]

ok i see

[shadow night]

well, you are just a mad man

[lilac dagger]

what if you had to handle block breaking?

or to interact with the world more

[echo basalt]

I've done client-sided blocks like 20x already

That isn't a problem

[valid burrow]

woah

impressive

[wicked sinew]

Which is why I was wondering if something better was made yet

[echo basalt]

It's quite simple you're only dealing with like 3 packets

[lilac dagger]

but like at a big scale?

[valid burrow]

something better than reload? restart

[echo basalt]

yeah

I've done big scale

intercepting and processing chunk packets all of that

[wicked sinew]

something quicker 😈

[valid burrow]

its the same just with a forloop lol

[lilac dagger]

that's nice

[shadow night]

getting better hardware

[valid burrow]

^

[wicked sinew]

I know my hardware is good 🤣

[valid burrow]

than your server shouldnt take long to boot

spigot and paper are both rather fast

shouldnt take more than 30 seconds i have a 1.8 server that boots in 5 seconds

[shadow night]

1.8 servers boot up very quickly

comparing to 1.19.4 for example

[icy beacon]

Can confirm

[scenic sigil]

i see the problem

[icy beacon]

^ this one is also not the luckiest, I've had some 1.8s today

[valid burrow]

well what is it

[scenic sigil]

the compile version is 66.00 but the server support the 60.00

[ornate heart]

love dealing with that issue

[remote swallow]

compiled with java 22 but trying to run on 16 iirc

[shadow night]

ah, that man be compiling against newer java and wondering why his plugin ain't working

I would recommend to compile against java 8 if you are planning to support most versions

[nova bolt]

hi , does anybody have any idea why my worldguard plugin doesnt work?

[chrome beacon]

?notworking

[undone axle]

"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.

[scenic sigil]

i think WorldGuard is not supported with spigot

i resolve installing Paper because paper is Bukkit+Spigot

[chrome beacon]

WorldGuard is compatible with Spigot

[peak jetty]

how do i make a chest with items inside?
