[echo basalt]

And then get the egg's item

And get the pdc from the egg's item

You're still getting the pdc from the egg entity

[worthy yarrow]

I think it's the same for eggs, after testing it proceeds to remove the spider and send the player the message

[echo basalt]

o_o

[worthy yarrow]

So then perhaps it's the same for all projectiles 😄

[flint coyote]

In fact I was talking about ender eyes, not ender pearls but same thing. I did notice it because it was still on there after picking up the eye again once it dropped

[fleet kraken]

With protocol lib i can do for example just some players see an specfic effect?

[agile anvil]

What do you mean by an effect?

[fleet kraken]

Like the glow effect

I can just show it to specific players?

Using protocol lib?

[agile anvil]

There are multiple ways of making it, and yes you can do it with protocol lib

[glacial peak]

Does anyone know if the KauriVPN plugin blocks CloudFlare WAP?

[fleet kraken]

there is an way without protocol lib?

[agile anvil]

Please check #help-server

[agile anvil]

Making the glowing packet with NMS

[fleet kraken]

How hard is this? I mean the time to do it

Like minutes, hours?

[agile anvil]

It really depends on how familiar you are with it. If you're used to nms few minutes should do the trick

it's not possible to predict ahah

For reference the entitiy metadata packet have a byte 0x40 making the entity glow
https://wiki.vg/Entity_metadata#Entity

It might be easier with protocollib if you never done nms

Especially if it's for multiple versions

[fleet kraken]

I will take a look, thanks!

[valid burrow]

please

for the love of god

use a database

[worthy yarrow]

Maybe later

[valid burrow]

its not that hard 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[worthy yarrow]

Maybe later

[agile anvil]

Ahahah I love it! Did you use pdc or only saving to a flat file?

[worthy yarrow]

pdc

well

its in the works

currently just flat file

[agile anvil]

Alright 🙂

You'll notice that it's even easier !

[coral flower]

How do I set the durability of an Item? The API says ItemStack.setDurability is deprecated and now inside ItemMeta but ItemMeta has no method for durability

[tender shard]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/Damageable.html

check if ItemMeta is instanceof Damageable, then cast it

[coral flower]

ahh okay

He is doing it PermissionsEx

[worthy yarrow]

Why thank you I thought it fit nice

[orchid trout]

is there any way to make a plugincommand without defining anything in the plugin.yml?

[shadow night]

Injecting commands into the command map

[smoky anchor]

That's the way I like to do it!
(I am not joking lol)

[shadow night]

Yeah it's normal

[orchid trout]

i tried registering a command and then doing Plugin#getCommand() but it returned null

[shadow night]

Ye, spigot adds commands to the command map according to the plugin.yml's that are loaded

getCommand just gets you a command from the command map

Iirc

[cobalt flame]

Is there a way to change data in the spigot.yml config. I know you can get the values but when i try to change them and save them it doesn't work

Before i spam the channel with my code i would like to know if its possible so i don't waste anyones time

[proud badge]

How fast is Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(UUID)?

[native nexus]

Never had issues with it, why would they include it in the api if it wasn't fast? 😮

[proud badge]

ik im asking how fast

[shadow night]

Well, not everything in the API is fast lol

[shadow night]

If the player has already joined it will just get them from the offline player list, otherwise it will try to fetch the player afaik, but with uuids that's less of a problem ig

[proud badge]

Ok thanks

[ivory sleet]

its fast

dw

and what raydan described regards getOfflinePlayer(name)

not the uuid one

[lost matrix]

Unless you miss the cache

[grim hound]

hmm

I'm creating 16384 ByteBufs async

but the server crashes nonetheless

Ofc, all of those are written with a lot of data

[lost matrix]

Why... are you creating 16k byte buffers

[grim hound]

image to particle

particle images

my dream

[lost matrix]

You mean one bytebuffer with 16k bytes i hope then?

[grim hound]

no

cuz

each minecraft packet needs to be sent

[lost matrix]

[grim hound]

you know

seperately

I'd really like this to be just one biggggg buffer

but dunno

[lost matrix]

!?

[grim hound]

instead of sending 16k particle packets

I just send 16k bytebufs

but the thing is

that the server crashes while creating those

xD

[lost matrix]

With what exception

[grim hound]

none

it just doesn't respond

only some async threads do for some reason

[lost matrix]

Sounds like you are blocking the main thread to me...

[grim hound]

hmmm

this.asyncExecutor = new ForkJoinPool(parallelisms, ForkJoinPool.defaultForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory, (t, e) -> AlixCommonUtils.logException(e), false);

and then just doing executor.execute(this) on my own Future object

[lost matrix]

What type of parallelisms are you using?

[grim hound]

min of 2 or equal to Runtime available processors

[ivory sleet]

well I mean its not gonna fetch any mojang services

not sure what would it make it so slow

[lost matrix]

Is it not? If the player has never played before, then the name is fetched from mojang. Or has that changed.
And if he isnt in the cache, then there is at least some FileIO happening, looking if his file exists to load it, or create a new one.

[ivory sleet]

only getOfflinePlayer(name) has to fetch mojang services due to a uuid by name lokup

name is nullable, uuid is not

but yeah, there could be some potential file io stuff going on

idr much of source tbh

[grim hound]

since when is there such a method?

[ivory sleet]

been there for quite some time, no?

[lost matrix]

At some point your name will be indecipherable

[grim hound]

it's probably getting all offline players and searching by the getName method

[ivory sleet]

lol

[grim hound]

so file reading stuff

[ivory sleet]

I assume they load the cache eagerly in some sort of multimap

i mean thatd be the logical way more or less

[tardy delta]

now what kind of animal is a Consphlere

[upper hazel]

does Open sources plugin have copyright? Nothing will happen if I make my own plugin based on another one, taking an idea and pointing it out?

[shadow night]

there are licenses

[lilac dagger]

it has licenses that you have to respect

[alpine urchin]

yes

[upper hazel]

License has protection or just information?

i mean for what this need in open source

[alpine urchin]

protection for the copyright holder and some for the end users

[upper hazel]

if someone can chance code or smth

[alpine urchin]

yeah

GPL for example says that you as an end user should be able to get the source code of whatever program you use that is GPL

that’s an example of protecting the user

some licenses require you to credit the author

that’s protecting the author

[upper hazel]

hm what if you just took the idea?

or similar class names code

[alpine urchin]

you can’t copyright an idea itself, but generally speaking the less code you take, the harder it is to prove for plagiarism

name a concrete example and we can tell you how to follow the license

[upper hazel]

well I'm just improving the API placeholder plugin

so idk what will be if i post

[next plume]

During the PlayerJoinEvent, will the player show up in the list of players from getOnlinePlayers() ?
And the same question about the PlayerQuitEvent.

[wet breach]

it takes about a tick or so after the join event for them to show up

same for them leaving

[next plume]

Ah, that's what I thought. Was hoping it worked the opposite way.

[wet breach]

mainly because putting them in the list is like one of the last things that gets executed same when they leave

[next plume]

OK, thanks.

[outer tendon]

Hey, thank you so much. I didn't take the time to understand this until now. I have a few questions, if you don't mind.

Firstly, what do you mean by polling for displaying? Do you mean polling for things to be displayed to the user?

Also, when I poll actions, are you implying that those that are polled will only be past actions because they take place prior to the current check interval and after the penultimate check interval?

Also, speaking of intervals, how would I go about determining a good interval? How fast would these intervals be able to be practically? A few hundred milliseconds, a second or a couple of seconds, maybe more than that? Some of the actions, like updating a timer shown to the user, take place at one second intervals, so would it be reasonable to have such an interval?

Whatever you can answer, Id greatly appreciate. :D.

[twin venture]

Hi , thinking about making a skyblock plugin , any idea how the data would looks like?
the tables in the database?

island_id , uuid , name

island_id , x , y ,z , yaw , pitch , other data for the specfic island?

[wet breach]

location should be a single column

[twin venture]

what kind of data a island would have?

[wet breach]

anything you want, ideally you just need to have 3 things though

[twin venture]

name of theme?
like if i have a gui with multi island theme?

[wet breach]

well, maybe 4

[twin venture]

alr thanks

[wet breach]

island_id, location of its center, owner, which island schematic is used(for regen purposes)

this is like the minimum that comes to mind, if you want to add more you can

if I were to add another column it would be a separate table that holds a blob column

and that would be to put the schematics

blob = binary large object

you can literally just stuff random binary stuff into mysql tables XD

[shadow night]

Is that what those blob:// urls are?

[quaint mantle]

can anyone tell me how can I get into my server's shell once im out of it?

[wet breach]

then you would have another table for your players, and have the players table and the islands table be linked together

[wet breach]

crawl back in?

surely you could just go back the way you came right? o.o

[wet breach]

most likely

you can stream binary data so it would make sense

[wet breach]

just joking, I assume you are using screen?

if not then there is no getting back to the MC console

[quaint mantle]

im using ssh

[wet breach]

that is the type of connection you are using to access the terminal

screen is a program that allows command line programs to continue running and get back to them

[shadow night]

I personally use tmux, idk why

[wet breach]

if you don't use something like that, then when you exit from the application there isn't a way to get back to said applicatio without force killing it

[quaint mantle]

ssh, I have ubuntu server and im accessing its terminal using ssh on my windows

idk if im making any sense

[wet breach]

so, either use screen or tmux and there is a third I think there was but can't think of its name

[quaint mantle]

wait

[wet breach]

try them out, find the one you like and use those to run the mc console inside of so you can get back to it later 🙂

[quaint mantle]

I cant post pictures here aaa

[wet breach]

not necessary

literally telling you the solution

you are not the first to learn the hard way of this

at least you came to the right place however to be pointed in the right direction 😄

[native gale]

I came up with some weird ass idea, and not sure if it is even possible. To make it work I need to somehow make Spigot listen to two ports simultaneously

[wet breach]

ok, well spigot is already capable of this

but do go on

[native gale]

How?

[wet breach]

well it listens on the UDP port if you allow it

also listens for telnet as well, forget which port that is

[native gale]

Ehh... I don't get it

[wet breach]

well the telnet thing is for remote commands

mainly implemented in MC if I am not mistaken though, same goes with the UDP port which is used to query the server

[native gale]

Why UDP and telnet, theoretically I want player to be able to join both via IP:port1 and IP:port2

[wet breach]

thats doable

[native gale]

Yeah, how?

[wet breach]

spigot can listen on more then one ip

just add another ip

to the file

multiple listen= lines

you can even put ipv6

[umbral ridge]

yesss

[hazy parrot]

Why do you need spigot specifically to listen on multiple ports

Your plugin can bind to any port, regardless of spigot

[wet breach]

also can just share the port too

since it is the same application

and thus is not considered a new connection

might have to inject into the netty thought because it might swat those packets away 😛

but still lol

[native gale]

Yeah, but I want players to be able to join via this additional port specifically

[wet breach]

why don't you use port redirection?

[native gale]

And be able to pick it up from inside the plugin, wether they joined via the main one or additional one

[wet breach]

you do know you can redirect random ports of your choosing to just get routed to another port

[native gale]

Yeah, but spigot will see these connection as if they come from the same port

[wet breach]

most likely yes, also bungee has the ability to use multiple domains btw

and do what you are wanting without the need for multiple ports

bungee will even inform you which domain or subdomain they joined from

thus removing the need for multiple ips and ports

just have to create relevant subdomains

[native gale]

Hmm

Do I really need bungee for that? Can't spigot fugire out what domain made a request by itself?

But yeah, that's interesting idea

[wet breach]

it is the easiest option since bungee was implemented with that in mind. Spigot doesn't have such abilities

nor does it care about where a connection came from

I am pretty sure you could probably create a plugin to implement that functionality

but you will most likely have to inject into netty stuff to accomplish it

since you need to read the host connection info stuff

[native gale]

Hm, that sucks actually

[quaint mantle]

how can I autorestart the server if power goes down?

is there any way to do that?

or do I have to start it again from the console

[grim hound]

does anyone here know how to use quaternions?

[wet breach]

math o.o

[grim hound]

ye

but I'm still in middle school

[wet breach]

register a script as a service that will do this

[grim hound]

haven'`t had that

[wet breach]

I have one you can use to reference to make your own

[native gale]

Haven't heard of math?..

[quaint mantle]

how?

[wet breach]

https://gist.github.com/frostalf/74d662a4bf381ad4ba2679bc537c4595

[grim hound]

I have no idea whether you're trying to anger me or are just this ignorant

[wet breach]

what issue are you having that requires quarternions

[native gale]

Damn, chill

[grim hound]

rotation

[wet breach]

generally that is one of the main uses of it

doesn't explain your issue though

[native gale]

Here you go, angry boi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4EgbgTm0Bg

[grim hound]

am back

[native gale]

Probably the best math channel out there, I think his explanation in this video is very clear

[grim hound]

I skidded some code for particle image generation

and I tried changing the values for rotation but nothing really changes

[native gale]

[grim hound]

basically the code

[grim hound]

I will watch the vid

am just explaining my issue

[native gale]

You do not need quaternions to rotate 2d image

[grim hound]

3d

I mean

2d images on a 3d space

[wet breach]

o.O

thats a lot better lmao

quarternions are only needed when you want to rotate based on some other thing. Bit hard to explain

but in most cases for rotating stuff, you don't need it. An example would be like if you wanted a model to jump in space, rotate around another model while dodging another object

you have to account for all those vectors which have velocities and directions etc

and that is where quarternions come in for that

[native gale]

Yeah, but for simpler cases some linear algebra and trigonometry will suffice

[wet breach]

^

[native gale]

Also, in your code

You rotate and scale the image (in minecraft, I suspect?), but it does not guarantee that these pixels will align with the minecrafts block grid, you need to do rasterization in order for this to work

[grim hound]

ra what

[next plume]

Is there a way to tell if an OfflinePlayer is permbanned, but not tempbanned?

[chrome beacon]

Hook in to whatever is temp banning

and use their api

[next plume]

Blah. Was hoping I could tell from OfflinePlayer, given that the ban method has expiration/duration parameters.

What about BanEntry#getExpiration() and comparing it to null?

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/BanEntry.html

getExpiration will be null if they are perm banned

is there a way of checking if the item is an armor without using craftbukkit? I'm seeing people using nms for that

Dont creating a command which has the same name as your namespace would be a good first step...

[lost matrix]

Check if its ItemMeta is an instance of ArmorMeta

[worthy star]

hi

why ```java
public void linkPlayer(Player player, Member member) {
String path = "linking." + String.valueOf(player.getUniqueId());
String dc = String.valueOf(member.getIdLong());
String code = Common.getMapKey(linking, player).toString();
FileConfiguration config = getConfig();

    linking.remove(code);


    config.set(path, dc);
    Bukkit.getLogger().info(player.getName() + " has been linked with " + member.getEffectiveName());
    try {
        config.save(getFile());
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    Bukkit.getLogger().info("Saved the linking.yml file");


    player.sendMessage(Common.colorize("&7Your &aMinecraft &7account has been linked to discord"));
    player.sendMessage(Common.colorize("&7Account: &3" + member.getEffectiveName()));``` doesn't seem to be saving correctly, it logs the saved and linked things

but it doesn't do the file things

[orchid trout]

wdym the same namespace

my plugin is named bitenet

that happens with all commands

[lost matrix]

[proud badge]

So you can convert any object to a byte array and back, its that simple? https://paste.md-5.net/dobixucovi.cs

[shadow night]

Only if it's serializable iirc

[proud badge]

hm? how do I know if my object is serializable

[shadow night]

When it implements Serializable, usually

[proud badge]

Rip mine doesnt

[icy beacon]

RaydanOMG

[shadow night]

I'm unsure, but last time I did something like that it worked like this

[proud badge]

done, do I need anything else?

[shadow night]

should just work now

[proud badge]

33

[icy beacon]

ZBLL

[lost matrix]

Print out path and dc

[proud badge]

issue, object contains an ItemStack, and I cant really modify that. Any solution?

[shadow night]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[proud badge]

ok ill just convert it to b64 and back

[worthy star]

ok 1 sec

[worthy star]

wait wtf

it decided to work somehow

[young knoll]

You can convert an ItemStack into a byte[]

In several ways

Easiest is BukkitObjectOutputStream

[proud badge]

chest.getBlockInventory().removeItem(shop.getProduct());
player.getInventory().addItem(shop.getProduct());
player.getInventory().removeItem(shop.getCost());
chest.update();``` Anyone know why the chest contents dont update at all?

this is what chest is equal to btw public static Chest getShopChest(Block block) { if(block.getRelative(((WallSign) block.getBlockData()).getFacing().getOppositeFace()).getState() instanceof Chest chest) { return chest; } return null; }

[worthy star]

hi, so for a weird reason i can't figure out,

// This does not work
    public Member getLinkedMember(UUID uuid) {
        String path = "linking." + uuid.toString();
        FileConfiguration config = getConfig(uuid);
        return BotManager.getGuildById(BotManager.guildId).getMemberById(Long.parseLong(Objects.requireNonNull(config.getString(path))));
    }

// This works
    public String getWarningReason(UUID uuid, int id) {
        FileConfiguration config = getPlayerConfig(uuid);
        String path = "warnings." + id + ".reason";
        return config.getString(path);
    }```

each one is in a different class, both classes got very same logic

just changed the methods to fit with it

the first method stops working when server restarts, it starts returning null always, the second one got no problems

working one: https://paste.md-5.net/fazagolugo.cpp

broken one: https://paste.md-5.net/asologepev.java

[merry cove]

split up the code and debug it and remove and ignore the IDEA when it says the Objects.requireNonNull stuff. supress it.

[worthy star]

wait wait

i think

the problem is from JDA

because i made it return the id instead of member and it works

bro finally

i've been suffering of that for days, i tried 100 ways for that

[worthy star]

hi

is JDA broken with spigot or what? why the getMemberById() method breaks if i restart my server

[merry cove]

I don't have that problem, but I use User over Member in my plugin

[worthy star]

hmm

may use it

i'll test it

um

there is no getuser method

should i get a member and cast it?

[glacial moth]

anyone know of a method to create a custom event based on when a player enters or exits your render distance? I was thinking on tracking player movement, join and quit and mapping out players who are relevant to each other

[worthy yarrow]

Imo, I would say you could track locations of all players and every 10 seconds or something you update those locations -> any player comes within idk 100 blocks or something -> do something

[pseudo hazel]

render distance itself is a client setting and the server knows nothing about that afaik

[worthy yarrow]

^

[alpine urchin]

the server receives the render distance in this packet: https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Client_Information_.28play.29

[pseudo hazel]

interesting

[worthy yarrow]

If you wanna get dirty with packets for sure, otherwise if you track player locations I mean it should still be applicable in that way

[orchid furnace]

I've been trying to code simple line when a player for example hits a pig then the plugin just kills the player but for some reason that I can't really find the solution to it gives me this message.

Learnjava moment

[orchid furnace]

Player player = (Player)event.getPlayer();

[echo basalt]

Let's start by uh

Not making a class inside a class

[alpine urchin]

🤡 april fools

[orchid furnace]

alr I git rid off the addicional class but i'm trying to fix The method getPlayer() is undefined for the type EntityDamageByEntityEvent

I cant really understand this one

[tender shard]

getEntity()

[blazing plank]

Send it to me and I can put it here

[worthy star]

nope

[merry cove]

show the code again?

[glacial moth]

Don’t players render separately to this, in my testing it was 50 blocks then the player disappears, and entities it was 65 blocks

[blazing plank]

From @orchid furnace

[worthy star]

    public User getLinkedMember(UUID uuid) {
        String path = "linking." + uuid.toString();
//        return Long.parseLong(Objects.requireNonNull(config.getString(path)));
        return (User) BotManager.getGuildById(BotManager.guildId).getMemberById(config.getString(path));
    }```

[worthy star]

event.getDamager()

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

i get this error now

[blazing plank]

@orchid furnace

[merry cove]

your code in general seems odd. ill check mine

[worthy star]

could it be because of the BotManager.guildId?

this is the class https://paste.md-5.net/tusodidede.java

[merry cove]

why not just do public User getUser(String userID) { return jda.getUserById(userID); }

[orchid furnace]

yep that fixed the problem sorry for trouble.

[minor junco]

You are trying to cast a Member to a User

[worthy star]

what should jda be

[merry cove]

       try {
            jda = JDABuilder.createDefault(token)
                    .setActivity(Activity.watching("Your behaviour"))
                    .enableIntents(Arrays.asList(GatewayIntent.values()))
                    .build()
                    .awaitReady();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            disable("Could not summon the discord bot because: " + e.getMessage());
        }```

[minor junco]

Those are different things. A user is the user itself, independent from the server environment and server profile. A member is the exact opposite, so a member of a server, having a server profile

@worthy star

[worthy star]

oh

[worthy star]

ok this

[bold oriole]

org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidPluginException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/comphenix/protocol/events/PacketListener

i tried to use protocollib in my plugin but i get this error if i tried to load my plugin

[eternal oxide]

ProtocolLib not on your server

[worthy star]

isn't the id a long?

[remote swallow]

you most likely do not need to use shardmanager here'

[bold oriole]

it is

[worthy star]

i removed it

[merry cove]

I store the UUID and ID together. so I jsut pull the ID from there.

[lament tree]

Hello, how do servers have cutscenes, do they constantly teleport a player and restrict all movement?

[remote swallow]

they spectate an entity

[lament tree]

Interesting

Could you possibly elaborate?

[remote swallow]

@young knoll wake up nerd

[worthy yarrow]

Cutscenes are kinda goofy, mimic a players movement -> relay movement on a separate entity... though that's just what I assume the process consists of

Perhaps display entities that are forcibly spectated when the scene needs to be played

[worthy star]

tysm the problem is solved now

after like 5 days of suffering

[merry cove]

same, just a different problem 😂

[worthy star]

but i still don't get why it did that

[alpine urchin]

also make sure you depend

on it

in your plugin.yml

add

depend:
- ProtocolLib

so that your plugin loads after protocollib

[young knoll]

wat

[remote swallow]

read up

[blazing ocean]

how do I get the value of an attribute

Registry.ATTRIBUTE.get()

nvm

Player#getAttribute

[pliant topaz]

I got a performance question:
So, when I have a list containg an enum (the enum has many entries), the list most of the time only consisting of one element, would it be faster to do it with a for-loop and switch-statements or just go with an if-statement for each check instead? I'd guess for-loop and switch but I'm not sure

[echo basalt]

uh

list.contains ?

[pliant topaz]

that would be with the if-statements, as i need to execute different pieces of code indivdual to what enum constant there is

[young knoll]

I mean for a cutscene you can just move the player along a line

If you want to stop movement then stick them in spectator mode and attach them to an entity

[worthy yarrow]

What about recording a cutscene

In the sense of mapping a players movements and relaying it anytime the scene needs to be played

[young knoll]

I'd probably just record keyframes and then interpolate between them

[worthy yarrow]

Does that take head movements into consideration?

[young knoll]

It does if you make it

[worthy yarrow]

ah gotcha

[blazing ocean]

honestly i would create a helper tool to create a cutscene which then exports it to those movements

[young knoll]

mhm

[bold oriole]

oh thx i try it out

[dapper flower]

If an item has no meta data it also means it has no nbt data?

[pseudo hazel]

it probably has nbt data about itself

but idk for sure

[bold oriole]

why the leather armor doesn't turn green? must i set a packet?

        ProtocolManager protocolManager  = ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager();
        protocolManager.addPacketListener(new PacketAdapter(this,
                PacketType.Play.Server.ENTITY_EQUIPMENT) {
            @Override
            public void onPacketSending(PacketEvent event) {
                PacketContainer packet = event.getPacket();
                if(packet.getItemModifier().size()==0){return;}
                ItemStack stack = packet.getItemModifier().read(0);

                if (stack != null && stack.getType().name().contains("LEATHER")) {

                    packet = event.getPacket().deepClone();
                    event.setPacket(packet);
                    stack = packet.getItemModifier().read(0);

                    // Color that depends on the player's name
                    String recieverName = event.getPlayer().getName();

                    // Update the color
                    LeatherArmorMeta meta = (LeatherArmorMeta) stack.getItemMeta();
                    meta.setColor(Color.fromRGB(0,255,0));
                    stack.setItemMeta(meta);
                }
            }
        });

[lilac dagger]

some level of nbt is required otherwise the server wouldn't know how to process it

[young knoll]

Items are just all NBT data

Grab a basic item and run /data get entity @s SelectedItem

[lilac dagger]

i think air is an exception

[young knoll]

Well yes because that isn't a real item

[lilac dagger]

yeah

it's mostly treated as null

[bold oriole]

is the error important?

  java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.comphenix.protocol.updater.Updater.isChecking()" because "this.updater" is null
      at com.comphenix.protocol.ProtocolLib.checkUpdates(ProtocolLib.java:540)

[vast ledge]

Maybe you didn't init ProtocolLib correctly

[lilac dagger]

i don't think protocollib is a library to have nullpointers like these

[eternal oxide]

ProtocolLib is a Plugin. Don;t shade it

[lilac dagger]

oh yeah, don't shade protocollib

is this worth extracting?

i considered making the for loop and the check a method but then checking on null makes it look the same

TogglerView togglerView = getTogglerView(id);
if (togglerView != null

i guess it does make the code more inline

anyway, this looks so much better than what i had

probably changed name

a cool way is to look into which class uses ClientboundBlockUpdatePacket

then look in 1.20.4 in the class that used to use that and see what it does instead

if the arguments are very different it's not the same

[young knoll]

ClientboundBlockUpdatePacket still exists

[lilac dagger]

just confirm by doing a check as i said earlier

if it exists then i dunno?

[young knoll]

net.minecraft.network.protocol.game.ClientboundBlockUpdatePacket

[lilac dagger]

intellij has some issues sometimes

try putting it manually and see if it's red

try invalidating cache

or rebuild in buildtools

[young knoll]

I can import it fine ¯_(ツ)_/¯

And the mappings website shows it

[lilac dagger]

?mappings

[undone axle]

Compare different mappings with this website: https://mappings.cephx.dev

[young knoll]

https://mappings.cephx.dev/1.20.4/net/minecraft/network/protocol/game/ClientboundBlockUpdatePacket.html
yes

[lilac dagger]

https://mappings.cephx.dev/1.20.4/net/minecraft/network/protocol/game/ClientboundBlockUpdatePacket.html

ye

oh wow

can you look in the intellij to see if your jar is complete?

yeah in your dependency tree

this is for me

not sure if for the unmapped version it's the same

it might have the spigot naming

amazing

prapare for slower buildtimes

[bold oriole]

what did you mean?

correct

is there a documentation?

Hey, I need help with a TexturePack. I have a custom Tablist which works fine in the lobby, but when I go to a specific Server (in a bungeecord network) ir doesn't show. Here are some screenshots: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1y-HdBuxRyuwJ764Waq3PGKhfKpxVr09y?usp=sharing
On other BungeeCord Servers there aren't any issues.

I have binded it in in the default.json as a unicode "\uE03B"

and the .json is valid..

[proud badge]

is kotlin good

[ivory sleet]

yes and no

I mean it has a lot of ergonomical features

but eh, whenever I read kotlin code I always have a harder time understanding what is actually happening

you have stuff like first class higher ordered functions, and then operator overloading and infix inline extension functions etc

[valid burrow]

@ivory sleet wanna come eat pizza with us

[warm mica]

I find it annoying when people wildly mix java and kotlin within the same project

[young knoll]

What if you throw in some scala too

[chrome beacon]

Don't forget Groovy

[terse tangle]

and maybe some clojure?

[silent slate]

i wanna save how many players ever played a gamemode. How could i track that the best? Create a long list? Wouldnt that take up large amounts of memory/create Lag

[lost matrix]

Depends on how much you want to scale. What amount of players will you expect to ever play on this server?

[silent slate]

well thats the thing

i want this to be scaleable in the future. If possible make this safe until 10k players max. I cant really say how many players this server will get, depends on how much hype its gonna enjoy

[lost matrix]

A UUID is 16bytes + 8 bytes obj header.
So 10k players would in result in 240kb in object size. Thats <0.25MB.

For that estimate i would literally just throw them in a Set<UUID> played = new HashSet<>(); and call it a day.

[silent slate]

why a hashset, not a list?

[lost matrix]

Because .contains() on a List will scale with O(n) and on a HashSet it scales O(1)
Meaning a list would take 1ms for 100 players, then 10ms for 1000 players and 100ms for 10k players.
A Set takes 1ms for 10, 100 or a million players.

And you dont even have to check with .contains() on a Set.
Just always add the UUID. If its a duplicate entry then it wont be added anyways.

[silent slate]

do u recommend any resources to learn that, because ive only been familiar with lists and hashmaps xD

[lost matrix]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/guide-beginners-guide-on-improving-your-codes-performance.396161/

I go a bit into detail in this guide. Otherwise just random sources online.

[silent slate]

k thanks

And the other thing

how do i save the hashset when the server gets off?

[alpine urchin]

i haven't read any context

but i'll answer

in the config

@silent slate

[silent slate]

what config xD

how do i save and load a hashset out of config?

[echo basalt]

Won't the hashset have a big consumption given all the object headers on the map nodes?

it's still like 2mb of ram but eh

[alpine urchin]

https://bukkit.org/threads/save-load-a-hashset.253660/ google search away from finding this @silent slate

ez

[lost matrix]

16bytes for the longlong and 8 bytes for the obj header = 24bytes.
I already calculated that in ^^

[echo basalt]

I'm not talking about the object header itself

I'm talking about the map node object

[silent slate]

So Hashset to list -> List to String -> String to textfile

[echo basalt]

And all the map buckets

Given that the map doubles in size after the load factor

[lost matrix]

Yy

Still doesnt matter. 10k players is a high estimate. 99.9% of servers never see that in their lifetime.

[silent slate]

just want to futureproof

i know that i will be incredible lucky to ever archieve that

[echo basalt]

IDeally under infinite load you want to minimize the pressure points

[lost matrix]

If you want it futureproof then you should use a database and store your data there

[silent slate]

what kind of database

[echo basalt]

Something that you can cluster

which is pretty much all the modern ones

[silent slate]

we have a gameserver rn and want to upgrade to a vps once we have enough players to afford it

[lilac dagger]

amazing

[silent slate]

agree

[ivory sleet]

o foshure

[lilac dagger]

it's only missing O(sqrt(n)) in the graph

but it's not really found in algorithms anyway

[proud badge]

if I hit a mob that has isInvulnerable, is the EntitytDamageEvent considered cancelled?

[lilac dagger]

you can test it

not sure, doubt the event will be called

[lost matrix]

Events are only cancelled by plugins

[proud badge]

Rip

[echo basalt]

uh yes and no

While events only get cancelled by plugins, there are certain events that still fire even if the expected outcome doesn't happen

For example, InventoryClickEvent gets fired on beacons even if you aren't holding an item accepted by the slot

[alpine urchin]

O(2) when

[lilac dagger]

it's still constant 😄

plus there is no (2) in O notation

[alpine urchin]

ik

you missed the joke

O(infinity) is constant?

[lilac dagger]

i don't know math enough to answer

isn't that just O(n)?

[sullen canyon]

[alpine urchin]

that's the question

if infinity is a constant

[rapid vigil]

How much should the JUMP potion effect's amplifier be so that you can't jump?

[alpine urchin]

ok math says

its not a constant

O(n)

hmmm

[lilac dagger]

yeah, infinity is an idea or something

not sure what's the proper definition

[lost matrix]

infinity is not a number. Its a concept. You cant evaluate an expression with it.

[rapid vigil]

-1 is making it infinite but i need it to make them not be able to jump

[lost matrix]

256

[lilac dagger]

the amplifier should be able to do that i think?

[alpine urchin]

BigAssInteger.MAX_VALUE = infinity;

[lost matrix]

-.-

[rapid vigil]

ty :>

[alpine urchin]

@lost matrix smile

it's in your name

[lost matrix]

[silent slate]

his name in german is bratwurst xD

[rapid vigil]

ah i tried it but i can still jump, heres my code:

    @CatchUnknown
    public void onFreeze(Player p, OnlinePlayer targetPlayer) {
        Player target = targetPlayer.getPlayer();

        target.setWalkSpeed(0);
        target.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.JUMP, -1, 256));

        target.sendMessage("You have been frozen");
    }```

[lost matrix]

Set it to a very high number i guess

[rapid vigil]

Integer.MAX_VALUE 👀

[lost matrix]

Wait... isnt the first parameter the amplifier?

nvm

[rapid vigil]

xd

I set the amplifier to 99999999 and i still can jump

[lilac dagger]

wait, i have a piece of code that works somewhere ^

[sand spire]

set it to something between 128 and 250

idk why but that works for me in 1.20

[rapid vigil]

alright ill try

eyy it works, thank you :>

[lilac dagger]

player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.JUMP, 210, 250, false, false, false));

nice 😄

i was too slow

[rapid vigil]

i actually got tired of canceling their move event if they're in a Set because thats probably not good, so i came up with the idea of setting their move speed to 0 and giving them a specific jump amplifier so they cant jump

[lilac dagger]

client cheats will be able to bypass this ^

[rapid vigil]

haha yeah but if someone froze you and you just bypass it infront of them you're getting insta banned

[lilac dagger]

not wrong

[rapid vigil]

actually you reminded me to hide the particles by setting the boolean to false, thanks :D

this looks ugly somehow

[drowsy helm]

i mean you could do it programmatically but that is most readable tbh

nah not really

i have a linking-rewards configuration section with 1: 'cmd', 2: 'cmd'..

[worthy star]

but i get that error when i call the method.

[young knoll]

You can't run it async

Use the scheduler to run it sync

[worthy star]

the for loop?

[young knoll]

Sure

Technically just the execute needs to be sync

[worthy star]

ok

so i use a bukkit runnable

or scheduler

[young knoll]

Bukkit.getScheduler.runTask

[worthy star]

ok thx

so this java ConsoleCommandSender console = Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender(); BukkitScheduler scheduler = Bukkit.getScheduler(); scheduler.runTask(RelaxDc.getInstance(), () -> { Bukkit.dispatchCommand(console, cmd); });

thx

[steel dirge]

Working with protocollib, looking to see if anyone would help. mostly @echo basalt i saw ur post here: https://gist.github.com/IllusionTheDev/8b0761be3b699fcfc0c082b753e6f063

Im trying to work with Text Displays.
I got this:

 PacketContainer metaData = Holograms.plugin.protocolManager.createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.ENTITY_METADATA);
            metaData.getIntegers().write(0, entityId);

            List<WrappedDataValue> dataValues = List.of(
                new WrappedDataValue(23, WrappedDataWatcher.Registry.getChatComponentSerializer(), WrappedChatComponent.fromText("test"))
            );

            metaData.getDataValueCollectionModifier().write(0, dataValues);

TextComponent is called for index 23. Not sure if im doing that right?
I get
class com.comphenix.protocol.wrappers.WrappedChatComponent cannot be cast to class net.minecraft.network.chat.IChatBaseComponent

Any help is appreciated.

my verified tag not here still 😠

[echo basalt]

uh

call getHandle()

[steel dirge]

face desk

thank you

going on an hour with that xD

[echo basalt]

I've seen it countless times don't worry about it

ProtocolLib should wrap this but sometimes things are flaky

[steel dirge]

ye, the versions i use as well also is funky

i use a dev build from 2 weeks ago, cant spawn entities

i use a latest one. works

[young knoll]

Plib is kinda dying

[steel dirge]

is packetevents the new and improved

i should be using it, as im an admin in the vulcan discord 💀

the disrespect is real

isnt that right @alpine urchin

[young knoll]

I would call it improved

Not that new anymore tho

[quiet ice]

Well you aren't verified here so might as well be a nobody

Are you able to save multiple lists (of different types) to the items PDC?

[inner mulch]

i think there is a plugin that lets u add lists to pdc

[worldly ingot]

There's API for it

[brave lynx]

wdym

[worldly ingot]

Bukkit API for it

[brave lynx]

yeah

[worldly ingot]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/persistence/PersistentDataType.html#LIST

[brave lynx]

but that doesnt rly answer my question

im asking a yes or no question

with the same key, can i save multiple lists?

[worldly ingot]

No

That doesn't even make any sense

[inner mulch]

1 key can only have 1 value

[brave lynx]

OHHH

[worldly ingot]

You would have to store a container type which contains two lists with their own individual keys

[brave lynx]

i didnt know the key was the container

thank you @inner mulch

!!

[worldly ingot]

"key": [listvalue1, listvalue2, listvalue3]

:p

[brave lynx]

tysm

this whole time i thought 1 key can store infinite values

😭

i gotta rewrite my stats system now

[inner mulch]

it can, you can have a List<List<?>>

[worldly ingot]

Nah. Think of it like an overglorified Map

I don't think NBT supports lists of lists

Does it?

[inner mulch]

im not sure

[brave lynx]

i think so

lemme try

[worldly ingot]

I feel like I've never seen one in vanilla, but maybe I'm wrong

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[brave lynx]

cuz itll save me

sm time

[inner mulch]

but dont do it like that Lists in Lists arent generally a good idea

[worldly ingot]

Right. Generally indicates a design flaw

[brave lynx]

why not?

what issue does it create?

[inner mulch]

your lists are supposed to have different values right?

[brave lynx]

yeah

one with strings one with doubles

[inner mulch]

if so your list would be List<List<?>> the ? means you dont know what the value is therefore you gonna work with object and need to cast

[brave lynx]

but i do know what ? will be

wont i?

[inner mulch]

you know but at some point you add something that isnt expected your code breaks and you need to recode the casting

[brave lynx]

if i only add strings into the ?, there wont be an issue right?

[inner mulch]

if you know it will always be string you dont need the list to be ?

it can be String then

in this case i guess its fine

[brave lynx]

alright, thank you so so so much <33

[inner mulch]

np

[brave lynx]

hey quick question

when saving List<List<String>>

is there any reason not to just use List<String> instead because its basically the same thing?

[vital void]

That’s a a list of a list of a list of strings

[brave lynx]

but you wouldnt be able to save multiple list<string> in a list right?

[vital void]

Uh you can I think

What are you trying to do?

[brave lynx]

im trying to have a list that has two lists, one with a list of doubles and one with strings

but right now im just trying to figure out how two lists in a list look like

[vital void]

Does the string correlate to the double

[brave lynx]

uhhh i guess

like; "Power" = 0.01

[vital void]

Have you tried a hashmap?

[brave lynx]

you cant save hashmaps in PDC

so im stuck with lists

[vital void]

What is pdc

[brave lynx]

PersistentDataContainer

[rough ibex]

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[vital void]

I see.

Your trying to save tags on an item I am assuming ?

[brave lynx]

yup

[vital void]

Okay.

I have always used an api for that as it’s just way simpler

[brave lynx]

which one?

[vital void]

Rtag

1.8-1.20.4 support

Supports items, entites and more

[rough ibex]

I don't think that's very necessary right now

[brave lynx]

ah i gotcha
i'd like to keep all of my code made by myself though

[vital void]

Yeha I’m sure there is someone here who can help you

[rough ibex]

explain what you're trying to do

and why you're doing it your way

[vital void]

Im not familiar with PDC syntax

[worthy yarrow]

Pdc is spigot api so imo it’d be easier to just use pdc

[brave lynx]

I am trying to save data (or item stats) to an item. For example; ["Power" = 0.3],["FishingSpeed" = 100.0]. I am using personal data containers because saving every piece of data outside Minecraft will prove difficult, if not costly. To save such data, I have to turn all my data into lists since PDC do not support any sory of arrays other than Lists. To do this, I am trying to figure out if I can store multiple types of Lists in one single list. (list list<list<string>, list<double>>)

[vital void]

Correct, can be very difficult to do when making a plugin across different versions of spigot

[worthy yarrow]

I mean unless you’re going pre 1.14 it’s not hard

[vital void]

in my case I was

[worthy yarrow]

Since I’m pretty sure 1.14 is when pdc was introduced

[vital void]

1.14 to 1.20 would be fine

Yeah it was 1.14 I think

Or 1.13 idk

[worthy yarrow]

Somewhere between 1.13 and 1.14 idk

[brave lynx]

wait, do you guys reckon I can just make a custom PersistentDataType so I can use that isntead of the given list option?

[worthy yarrow]

Mhm

That’s the point of pdc lol

[brave lynx]

ugh u should have said that in the first placeeeee 😡

[worthy yarrow]

I just got here

[brave lynx]

nu uh

[worthy yarrow]

The pdc link has an example of a class implementing persistent data type, in order to store non primitive data

[brave lynx]

yup, im trying it out rn

ill let you know if i have questions about that

(i will)

[rough ibex]

Can you not just store the key=value?

as in

very stupid mockup

[pluginPDCKey]["Power"] = (PDC.FLOAT) 0.3```

so youre storing your data under your plugin's PDC map

[brave lynx]

i could, thats what i just realized, so im trying to add a map to my PDT

im not gonna lie

i have no clue on how to make a map data type for PDC

[glad prawn]

serialization

[brave lynx]

ah yes that singular word expands my inferior knowlege of Java to a much greater one, I appreciate it

[vital void]

If you can do it on your own I’d be looking into an api but makes it simple

[brave lynx]

is there anywhere I can learn to do this?

i literally have no clue what 50% of the stuff on the example does or means

[dawn flower]

can u send item lore update to the player (PLAYER ONLY)

that reverts when the player rejoins

[keen valve]

Can anyone help me figure out where I went wrong because it gives the effects even though there is no gold block under the beacon

@EventHandler
    public void onPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Block block = event.getBlockPlaced();
        Location location = block.getLocation();

        if (event.getBlockPlaced().getType() == Material.BEACON && event.getBlockPlaced().getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN).getType() == Material.GOLD_BLOCK) {
            location.getWorld().spawnParticle(Particle.ENCHANTMENT_TABLE, location.getBlockX() + 0.5, location.getBlockY() + 0.5, location.getBlockZ() + 0.5, 50);
            location.getWorld().playSound(location, Sound.ENTITY_GHAST_SHOOT, 100, 2);
        }
    }

[vital void]

@brave lynx you want me to do it for you or show you?

[brave lynx]

either or could work, as long as I end up understanding how making persistentdatatypes works

[agile anvil]

Two choices:

• listen to packet when the item packet is send to the player and change the lore there
• listen to every event (PlayerJoin, drop, inventory..) and change accordingly here). Please note that for this case if the player put it in a public chest players will all see the lore or the player won't see it.

The first is the easier I think. You have to wrap the packets

[dawn flower]

alr

[agile anvil]

Can you try making some debug messages to check the relative block down etc?

[glad prawn]

It's not as difficult as you think, wait a minute

[keen valve]

I tried this way but it doesn't send me messages

@EventHandler
    public void onPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Block block = event.getBlockPlaced();
        Location location = block.getLocation();

        if (event.getBlockPlaced().getType() == Material.BEACON && event.getBlockPlaced().getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN).getType() == Material.GOLD_BLOCK) {
            location.getWorld().spawnParticle(Particle.ENCHANTMENT_TABLE, location.getBlockX() + 0.5, location.getBlockY() + 0.5, location.getBlockZ() + 0.5, 50);
            location.getWorld().playSound(location, Sound.ENTITY_GHAST_SHOOT, 100, 2);
        }

        if (event.getBlockPlaced().getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN).getType() == Material.GOLD_BLOCK) {
            player.sendMessage(MessagesUtils.getColorMessage("&cBlock is gold!"));
        } else {
            player.sendMessage(MessagesUtils.getColorMessage("&cBlock is not gold!"));
        }
    }```

[vital void]

Do this

Player.sendMessage(event.getBlockPlaced().getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN).getType().name());

Put it before the first if statement

Let us know how you go with that

[drowsy helm]

is the event being called at all?

[grave vigil]

I'm trying to make a plugin that can be boiled down into a player clicking on a something, it disappearing, and then reappearing a few seconds later.

So, my question is: Would it be inefficient to use bukkit runnables to control how long the object the player clicked on takes to come back? More so if there can be hundreds of objects gone at one time?

[eternal oxide]

If it's hundreds going on and off use a single task. Add each to a queue with it's respawn delay.

[grave vigil]

It'd be hundreds with a different waiting period, e.g. one would be 30s and another 60s

[eternal oxide]

one task repeating is better than 100 tasks being created then destroyed.

[alpine urchin]

we have a discord

[alpine urchin]

idc what u use

[vital void]

@grave vigil use a single runnable

[grave vigil]

How would I use a single runnable for several different tasks?

[vital void]

Constantly run 1 task

And check what you need with timestamps

[grave vigil]

it would have to be short, like once every 1-5 seconds. This wouldn't cause any server issues?

[candid plover]

I'm creating an inventory, but when another player opens it, items can be picked up from the menu that was open, how do I fix it?

    public void openInventory(Player player) {
        inventory = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 27, "Editor de estilo");

createItems(player);
player.openInventory(inventory);
 }```

[vital void]

No your better off having 1 task that executes every 1 second. Then having 100 tasks

@candid plover how are you stopping players from taking items

[grave vigil]

You need to create a listener for InventoryInteractEvent and check to see if the inventory name == the name of the inventory that you want to stop players from picking up items in. If the name is correct, true, just do event.SetCancelled(true) and it'll stop it.

There are better ways of doing it, but that's the easiest way that shouldn't really cause problems.

[tall dragon]

please dont use the inventory name to check for custom inventories

?gui

[undone axle]

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

[tall dragon]

this is an excellent way to get started ^

[wraith imp]

Hello, is there any way of making custom packets with nms (i would like it to not be dependant on protocol lib)?
The client will have the packet registered via fabric mod.

[grave vigil]

yes I know, I said that thee was a better way but he's clearly new and that's general beginner advice

thats what I was told when I started

[tall dragon]

i feel like ur best off learning how to do it right. straight away

[grave vigil]

idk if I fully agree with that, personally. I like gradual learning. Learn the simplest way to do something, and then learn the more complicated ways of doing it. Understand the use cases of both. It can feel overwhelming to just start learning something, and be swarmed with a whole bunch of vocab that you've never heard of; being thrown into the deep end.

[tall dragon]

if ur programming using spigot you should be aware of basic java concepts & vocab

[vital void]

@tall dragon why not check against name?

[tall dragon]

because its bad practise, for example people can rename chests and pass your name check

[vital void]

That’s very watchable

Patchable

Won’t a map take up unnecessary space?

Not arguing; just genuinely curious

[tall dragon]

oh cmon its 2024

thats not unnecessary at all

[grave vigil]

Just use color codes. Normal players can't rename chests with color codes, so it's normally not an issue.

[grave vigil]

Some people started programming using spigot, like myself. It's perfectly fine to want to learn spigot and java at the same time

[tall dragon]

but why torture urself when u can implement an actual proper system.

[vital void]

Your listening to more events

Your doing the same job in more code

Not less

Opposite of optimisation

[tall dragon]

?????????

okay lmfao

[grave vigil]

Not really torture if it works. I agree that a better system is more clean and preferred. It is arguably more difficult, and that should be acknowledge and imo not shoved in the face of a beginner

but honestly at that point just use an inventory framework

[tall dragon]

so you are saying abstracting your code (so its easier to create more menu's) (the entire fuking point of java bassically) is worse?

[vast ledge]

Ever heard of making your own inventory holder

Screw names

[tall dragon]

you shoulnt do that either

thats bad practise as well

[vast ledge]

It's literally designed to identify inventories

[tall dragon]

no its not

[vital void]

I understand what you are saying

[vast ledge]

Yes it is?

[tall dragon]

it was never designed to be used by plugins

[vital void]

But in the case you a making a single gui

It is not “bad practice”

It is not required

[vast ledge]

.getInventoryHolder()

Is a part of the inventory class

[tall dragon]

so?

[vast ledge]

On create of your inventory, it asks for an inventory holder

[tall dragon]

doesnt mean its intended to be used to identify inventories

[vast ledge]

Why not use it

[tall dragon]

bassically

this https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/why-items-with-lots-of-metadata-actually-cause-lag-an-inventoryholder-psa.607711/

[tall dragon]

well we disagree on that then

it just results in your code being extremely messy

and hard to maintain

/ update

[vast ledge]

But an inventory isn't a tile entity if it isn't attached to one

[grave vigil]

it's not really that messy if it's just one GUI. I've used a quick inventory name check for a simple confirm GUI. Nothing really that crazy tbh

[grave vigil]

well every time you click something, it gets the holder, which can decrease server performance

[tall dragon]

^

[tall dragon]

yea i mean you can. but i still disagree. you should always be writing scalable code

[grave vigil]

but checking name is only bad practice because people may, depending on the server, be able to replicate the inventory through a chest. This can be gotten around by using color codes and disallowing players to add color codes to items (which is most servers, I rarely see the feature).

[vast ledge]

So?, Every time I get the players location it also can decrease performance
