I mean idk much about the security of having a socket open

[buoyant jasper]

hi

[young knoll]

Yo

[buoyant jasper]

How do i make hexadecimal color code

    ItemMeta kit3meta = kit3.getItemMeta();
    kit3meta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "Archer Kit");

instead of chatcolor

[young knoll]

ChatColor.of

Via the bungee ChatColor, not the Bukkit one

[buoyant jasper]

it doesnt let me

it shows value of

[young knoll]

Then you are using the Bukkit ChatColor

Switch your import

[buoyant jasper]

how to do that

[urban kernel]

How can I check if the args length is 1 OR 2?

[rotund ravine]

==

||

[junior geyser]

args.length == 1 || args.length ==2

[urban kernel]

args.length == 1 || args.length == 2

yeah cool

[young knoll]

Iirc it’s net.md_5.bungee.api.ChatColor

[urban kernel]

thanks

thought it was

[stiff sonnet]

does Location.add modify the location itself?

[young knoll]

Yes

[stiff sonnet]

I'm gonna die now

I've been debugging this for multiple hours

[stiff sonnet]

so how would you combine locations then without having to clone the base location every single time?

it's like with integers, I don't want my base variable to change if all I want to do is foo + bar

[young knoll]

You clone it

Or avoid using the location object itself

[stiff sonnet]

yeah I cannot avoid it really

I need it a lot

[twilit wharf]

I need to track when a player goes into chunks and loads entities, ones that might already be loaded by another player. (loaded clientside) Is there an event or packet for this?

[echo basalt]

Paper has an event for this

spigot has packet manipulation

[young knoll]

Or a runnable

Kek

Very inefficient I know

[rotund ravine]

if they are loaded clientside they are loaded serverside

oh

not if u send packets ofc

[echo basalt]

mans forgot the meeting of clientside

[rotund ravine]

well

on a vanilla server

[twilit wharf]

I meant if they are already loaded serverside by another player

[rotund ravine]

and a vanilla client

[twilit wharf]

and an additional player loads them in clientside, I want to track that

[echo basalt]

On a vanilla server and client it's synchronized

[rotund ravine]

oh like that

[twilit wharf]

I think I have a solution.

[rotund ravine]

Just listen to the entity spawn packet

[twilit wharf]

yeah

Also, my plugin involves showing a entities passenger when a player looks at that entity. Currently, I have a runnable just running in an infinite loop every 5 ticks and loops through every player, and loading the entity's passenger that they are currently look at. I am pretty sure this is the best way do it, however I am not sure. Do you guys have any thoughts on a different approach?

This plugin is not designed for large playercount servers (however it would be better if it could handle it)

[proud badge]

whats the purpose of java.lang.Void

[lost matrix]

Generic type argument

Call it a "wrapper" for void

[proud badge]

ye but where would I ever use it

Or does it exist just because, with no use?

[lost matrix]

Eg, if a future returns an int, then you would have a Future<Integer> because primitives cant be generic arguments.
Same goes for when your Future returns nothing. So void. It would be a Future<Void> because void cant be a generic type.

[proud badge]

hmmmm

[ionic thicket]

im spawining an entity and i want to know from who it is killed. How do I use something like EntityDeathEvent specifying i want that entity to die?

How can i differenciate that entity from another one?+

[worldly ingot]

The easiest way is probably to attach some NBT to that entity with its PersistentDataContainer

entity.getPersistentDataContainer(), then work from there

[ionic thicket]

Yo, I have seen you in a lot of forum

im gonna check this out

[worldly ingot]

I know. I'm like a pest. You kind of can't get rid of me

[ionic thicket]

and I appreciate that

[graceful oak]

Hey guys im looking into custom generation and have been playing around with biomes on a custom world I am using the BiomeProvider and I am able to make a world all 1 biome but cant seem to get adding more than one biome correct. As of right now I am doing this to generate all desert

public Biome getBiome(@NotNull WorldInfo worldInfo, int x, int y, int z){
        return Biome.DESERT;
    }

Since this returns a single biome I tried doing a 50/50 change of it being a desert or bandlands but it doesnt generate how vanilla minecraft biomes generate it just sets smaller sections of blocks to either be desert or badlands. Is there anyway to get what the vanilla biome would have been then swap it?

The BiomeProvider does also come with the getBiomes method which is a list of biomes but I dont really understand the use of it if the getBiome determinse what biome will be given

[torn shuttle]

I almost feel bad for jetbrains, I am actually costing them money right now

100%

[sullen marlin]

you need to set biomes for a bigger area, eg per chunk. But world gen is complex, so to get something natural which is only desert or badlands is not trivial

perhaps using BiomeParameterPoint and basing the biome choice on one of the paramaters in there would work ok

[graceful oak]

alright Ill play around with some things and see what I can get

[proven musk]

how could I store something like an itemstack persistently?
for example, a backpack, or some sort of system that combines similar items into one stack?
could I use something like a bundle?

you can't store itemstacks in pdc right

where tho

i think a bundle would be better

if I can change the look a bit

[worldly ingot]

I mean... we could probably implement a PersistentDataType<ItemStack> or something :p

I don't know if md would like it in Bukkit but it's definitely possible

[proven musk]

ok so like

wait

ig this doesn't matter anymore since ores dont drop themselves unless ur using silk touch

but when you break natural ores you get xp and when you break placed ores you dont? or at least you didn't

yeah you dont

how do you tell if a player has broken a natural ore vs a placed one

[worldly ingot]

I don't recall that being the case. Because if you mine it with silk touch you're not getting the drops

[proven musk]

ive confused myself'

[worldly ingot]

That's part of the reason silk touch and fortune can't be applied on the same tool :p

[proven musk]

how does ore xp drops work

[worldly ingot]

Experience will only drop if the item drops. e.g. coal, diamonds, emeralds

It won't drop if you mine it with silk touch and get the ore

[proven musk]

do certain ores never give xp

imma look at the wiki

[worldly ingot]

I think the ones that aren't smeltable don't give xp

So raw iron, gold, and copper won't ever give xp because you smelt the raw ore for experience

[proven musk]

oh right

ok well this was all not an issue bc of 1.17

[worldly ingot]

I mean iron, gold, and copper didn't give experience pre-1.17 either. They just dropped the ores themselves

[acoustic shuttle]

wasn't copper added in 1.17?

[proven musk]

yeah but im making a tinkers like tool leveling system and I was like oh no! how will I know if they are just breaking and placing the ore! and then I was like oh right

thats not a thing anymore

[worldly ingot]

idk was it? Too many updates to remember over the last 14 years of my playing lol

[acoustic shuttle]

Copper Ore is an ore block found underground, and planned to be added to Minecraft in update 1.17.
yer

[acoustic shuttle]

yeah u could also use nbt if anything

[proven musk]

still wip on the actual use cases

😭

ok so for adding custom blocks

the main strategy is to use noteblocks? and then maybe fuck around with packet stuff to make normal noteblocks look normal

but you can't really adjust the properties of the block too much

or maybe mushroom blocks?

[acoustic shuttle]

wdym

[proven musk]

idk it doesn't rly do much for being The New Ore They Finally Added

decoration and a few recipes just to make it feel less useless

[acoustic shuttle]

ah I see

[proven musk]

tbf thats true for lapis and quartz

[acoustic shuttle]

custom blocks with textures? or you want to use existing textures?

[proven musk]

lapis is the worst because nobody even uses it for building

[proven musk]

yes with textures

[acoustic shuttle]

custom textures*?

[proven musk]

yes sorry

custom textures

[acoustic shuttle]

ah yeah noteblocks prob

[proven musk]

how do I fix normal noteblocks

packets?

or does that not work

[acoustic shuttle]

wdym fix?

like so the texture is normal?

[proven musk]

yeah

bc like

I mean it wouldn't be the end of the world but if you make a noteblock that specific note and instrument it would look weird

also ermm how would I change stuff like mining time

[acoustic shuttle]

idk but

[acoustic shuttle]

for this

[proven musk]

haste and mining fatigue change the animation too much

[acoustic shuttle]

best option is probably mining fatigue and using nbt on the block or using yml files for how long it takes to break in ticks and divide it by 10 for each mining stage
if u don't want to use mining fatigue you could still do it but it's going to be annoying keeping them mining without destroying the block/stopping mining together and using the mining stages at the correct pace

[proven musk]

right

[acoustic shuttle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/how-to-create-block-with-custom-texture.582564/

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/1-8-1-13-custom-block-breaking-change-block-hardness.362586/

and it sohuldn't change the animation too much if you just use mining fatigue it'll be a bit slower but It's way easier

[proven musk]

well if its supposed to be an ore or stone block and they try to mine it with a diamond axe then yeah

the animation is gonna be slow as hell

[merry cove]

am getting tired, but am I dumb ass or is this the way you do it? am used to paper.

where 😮

[eternal oxide]

your pom looks fine

[merry cove]

then how did I Shade it

[eternal oxide]

why do you have the shade plugin when you are not shading?

[merry cove]

it's there by default with the addon I use, I don't build each pom.

[eternal oxide]

ok

however yoru error is definitely due to a shading.

open your final jar and see what is in it

[merry cove]

what should I look for spesifically in the jar?

[eternal oxide]

any org/bukkit folders

[eternal oxide]

hm

Your error doesn;t match what you are showing

[sullen marlin]

also just use spawn(Arrow.class) rather than blind casting

[merry cove]

yea, have no clue..

[eternal oxide]

check the actual jar you are testing on the server.

[sullen marlin]

also make sure your server is up to date

[merry cove]

running a slime jar, whops. ill try another

[sullen marlin]

sigh

[merry cove]

fixed it, :p was testing a world generator thing earlier forgot to change jar

[tender shard]

Classic

[lilac dagger]

is there a system arraycopy but for collection sources?

[sullen marlin]

?xy

[undone axle]

https://xyproblem.info/

[lilac dagger]

i have an array of double size and i have a collection, i want to put the collection at a specific position in the array

i can do it with a for loop but i don't like it as much

[sullen marlin]

turn collection to array and then arraycopy

[lilac dagger]

i could do that, but i don't like making a copy of the array

[echo basalt]

sounds like premature optimization to me

[lilac dagger]

i'll look through the libraries

it's not premature if i'm refactoring the code

[echo basalt]

Did you identify the problem through profiling

[lilac dagger]

no

but if i use the profiler just to have runnable code i'd say i did a bad job

[echo basalt]

You use a profiler to identify issues, then you go ahead and fix them

[rigid shoal]

hello its me again, how to read or write a yaml file?

[lilac dagger]

YamlConfiguration.load

and for save configuration.save

[rigid shoal]

can you show me it in code?

[lilac dagger]

@rigid shoal

[rigid shoal]

thx

[stiff sonnet]

does anyone know of a sleek way to prevent redstone updates entirely? I want to be able to block e.g. torch clocks or repeater clocks until a condition is met

all I found was the blockRedstoneEvent, but while that does work for 99% of cases, the block still initially receives power when a block is paced, but not after that

there doesn't appear to be a way to override the powered state of a block eitehr

[valid burrow]

never used the redstone update event

but what happens when u set the new current to 0 instead of just cancelling the event

[stiff sonnet]

I did that

you cannot cancel the event

[valid burrow]

oh

welp

uh

[stiff sonnet]

gonna try to force the power level to 0 on block updates

[valid burrow]

meeh

sounds inefficent

what interactions are causing you trouble?

[stiff sonnet]

well it does work, looks like arse though
https://imgur.com/cnTUhE4

right maybe I shouldn't cancel all block updates

[valid burrow]

could probably something with packets here

[stiff sonnet]

awesome, taht works

I guess it's inefficient but this isn't a huge-scale project

[valid burrow]

that’s usually the best way to achieve visually pleasing

[stiff sonnet]

it's not supposed to be purely visual

I want it to disable dispenser updates for example

https://imgur.com/okSPaGu
it really doesn't like my approach
I wonder if this is just down to some paper optimization

whow. The default is supposed to be a few hundreds of thousands. I think minecraft is constantly trying to update these blocks

[upper hazel]

Please advise how you can turn an object into a string without checking the object type through instenciof. Alternatively, I tried to use map and associate the adapter class with the element class type, but this is more like reflection and it is slow, what should I do?

[stiff sonnet]

https://www.baeldung.com/java-serialization this maybe?

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/tutorial-bukkit-custom-serialization.148781/ or this

[upper hazel]

not this

just connect adapter with object

[hazy parrot]

well you can't really deserialize string to specific object if u dont know its type

if that is what ur asking

and idk why Map<Class, Adapter> would be slow

[upper hazel]

bc this reflection ?

reflection is slow

[hazy parrot]

how are u using reflection in this case ?

u are just calling getClass

and reflection isn't that slow anymore regardlessly

[upper hazel]

then when this will be slow?

[hazy parrot]

i mean reflection isn't as slow as it used to be

if u are that concerned about a performance do a benchmark

[tender shard]

iirc reflection is faster than calling native methods

custom, native methods ofc (like JNI)

[echo basalt]

Uh

Great question

Something something MethodHandles faster than reflection

P sure native is quick but has overhead due to cpp conversion

[tender shard]

Yeah haha

Pretty sure reflecting is fine as long as one caches the methods or classes or whatever :3

[tender shard]

I once saw a benchmark table on baeldung (i think?) that showed that its MUCH slower than calling actual java methods

But as said, that‘s ofc only true for „custom“ native methods - native jdk methods like hashCode() are fast

[echo basalt]

Prob something to do with converting params

If everything's primitive it might be a lot quicker to convert

[tender shard]

Yep sth like that

[rigid shoal]

what abt writing a yaml file?

[echo basalt]

same exact thing

[lilac dagger]

it's in the screenshot @rigid shoal

[rigid shoal]

oh ok

[tender shard]

isnt there a spigot wiki article about custom YAML files?

?customconfig

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

[fallen eagle]

Hello, how can I do that in the config.yml there is an option to enable/disable chat moderation, and if its disabled ignore all parts of the moderation?

[dawn flower]

is there an event for changing your main hand item?

without abucnh of listeners

[tardy delta]

create the option and in your code check if its set

tbh this config wiki is way better than the spigot one (last time i checked) https://bukkit.fandom.com/wiki/Configuration_API_Reference

[fallen eagle]

How?

I know more or less what i have to do but i do not know how

[tardy delta]

read that documentation and check out getBoolean()

[fallen eagle]

Still dont understand

[stiff sonnet]

https://imgur.com/E5vDXF7 any idea how I'd iterate over all dispensers in an area? I tried this, but I don't get anything, and with type == Material.Dispenser I couldn't cast it to Dispenser

[tardy delta]

bruh here too

[tender shard]

Chunk#getTileEntities

[stiff sonnet]

ugh I cannot just do this on a chunk-per-chunk basis

[tender shard]

why not? you can still check whether they're in your area or not

[stiff sonnet]

it'd be much more annoying to find the chunks than to just iterate over all blocks

[tender shard]

no

[fallen eagle]

Hello, I want to make the welcome message and I have this
@EventHandler
public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
// Coordenadas al entrar : 0 0 0 0 0 world
Player player = event.getPlayer();
MainConfigManager mainConfigManager = plugin.getMainConfigManager();
if (mainConfigManager.isWelcomeMessageEnabled()) {
List<String> message = mainConfigManager.getWelcomeMessageMessage();
for (String m : message) {
player.sendMessage(MessageUtils.getColoredMessage(TekoCore.prefix+m.replace("%player%", player.getName())));
}
}
player.setGameMode(GameMode.CREATIVE);
Location location = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld("world"),23.38,64.0,-10.2,0,0);
player.teleport(location);
}

And in the config
config:
welcome_message:
enabled: true
message:

- "&fBienvenido &2%player% &fa &5&lTeko&f&lCraft"
- "&fEsperemos que disfrutes de tu estancia"
- "&fDiscord: &btekocraft.com/discord"
- ""
- "&a&m "

But nothing on the onJoin function works

[stiff sonnet]

my iteration block can go anywhere from one to three chunks in both the x and z direction, and I have no idea how I'd get the chunks efficiently

[tender shard]

you have three options:

1. Store the locations in the first place
2. Loop over all blocks (not so good)
3. Get all chunks in the area (or chunks that intersect it) and then loop over getTileEntities

#3 is by far the best way imho, or #1

[tender shard]

you just call getChunk on the location, or you /16 the x,z coords

[twin venture]

Hi , iam remaking my death system and i was woundering if it will be better to just use PlayerDeathEvent , or use EntityDamageByEntityEvent?
and check if player health is less than the damage taken if so , respawn , give kit .. etc

[fallen eagle]

@tender shard

[tender shard]

blocked

[tardy delta]

use code blocks please

[undone axle]

https://xyproblem.info/

[stiff sonnet]

hmm, maybe this isn't as bad as I though it'd be. I'll try. Thanks!

[tender shard]

I would use the death event so that other plugins (e.g. my angelchest plugin) can still handle deaths as usual

[tender shard]

np!

[tender shard]

but ofc it depends - if you want to cancel the death in the first place, use the damage event

what's your actual goal?

[twin venture]

that's how iam checking ..

[inner jewel]

i want a make a ffa pvp server server cant coudn't find a suitable plugin which has much features

[tender shard]

#help-server or is this a coding-related question?

[twin venture]

me , its coding related question

[fallen eagle]

Wtf why?

[fallen eagle]

Yo can someone help me, its important

[tardy delta]

ever heard of && and ||

[stiff sonnet]

because you cannot just expect anyone to help you, especially not if you ping them

[tender shard]

don't ping me for random questions. Do not say "HELP ME, IT'S IMPORTANT" just because you didn't get an answer within 83 seconds

[twin venture]

i have 2 problems with the PlayerDeathEvent ..
1- i want when player die , remove the respawn screen .
2- respawn , remove the droped kit items only , and keep the other to be droped normally .

[tender shard]

tbf I think it's cleaner with nested ifs

[fallen eagle]

Why cant i ssend photos

[rough ibex]

I don't

[tender shard]

?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

[tardy delta]

use a code block
and same for yml

[tender shard]

you'll have to respawn the player one tick after they died

on player death event -> scheduler 1 tick later -> player.spigot().respawn()

[twin venture]

yeah ik but what if he died by a cause that is not player related?

lets say lava , or fall , or other?

how i can check?

[tender shard]

there's getLastDamageCause() or sth

it's called sth like that

that will return the last EntityDamageEvent

[tender shard]

yep

now you can check if it's instanceof EntityDamageByEntityEvent

[twin venture]

ok so i need check if killer is null which means he died by player or by lava or other

[fallen eagle]

```But nothing on the onJoin function works```

[twin venture]

how i can do this best design?

[tender shard]

can't you check this directly with the EntityDamageEvent?

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.html

[twin venture]

oh so you mean in PlayerDeathEvent i check if the killer is null then return

and in the other events EntityDamageEvent

i do the check for last damage

right?

[rough ibex]

invalid YAML

[tender shard]

Please explain again what your goal is. If you only want to detect in PlayerDeathEvent whether the death was because of lava: Get the lastDamageCause, then check if the DamageCause of that event is e.g. DamageCause.LAVA or whatever

[rough ibex]

also ensure your config manager is correct

maybe try translation keys

[tardy delta]

now add java after the ```

[tender shard]

1. show stacktrace
2. as butter said, your YAML isn't valid

[fallen eagle]

How to fix?

[tender shard]

?paste your console error msg

[undone axle]

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

[rough ibex]

write valid YAML?

[twin venture]

i just want to make a good and decent death system for my skypvp plugin , so when a player die , give him stats , and killer too , and respawn the player who died , and give him kit .. etc

[fallen eagle]

There is no error and in a YAML checker if I paste all the file it says its good

[rough ibex]

what yaml checker

[fallen eagle]

https://yamlchecker.com/

[twin venture]

i do have a combatLog so i can do :
combatlog.get(entity) -> this will give me the attacker

[valid burrow]

if you want to respawn the player automatically just dont let him die in the first place

[rough ibex]

can not read an implicit mapping pair; a colon is missed (6:46)

 3 |  ... rue
 4 |  ... 
 5 |  ... 
 6 |  ...                               "
-----------------------------------------^
 7 |  ... 
 8 |  ... &2%player% &fa &5&lTeko&f&lCraft"```

yamlchecker throws

[tender shard]

no error and yaml is fine - so what's the issue then?

[fallen eagle]

There is more file

[fallen eagle]

Idk im new in pl development

[tender shard]

yeah looks good to me

[twin venture]

yeah i was using this sytem :
https://paste.md-5.net/oyevabuvom.java
but it broke in recent version

[valid burrow]

use a damage even instead and check if the health - EDamage is less than 0

[rough ibex]

so you cut off parts of your yaml

in the middle of it

[twin venture]

now if i hit the player 1 hit , he will die

[tender shard]

no! why?

that will break all plugins that rely on the actual Death event

[valid burrow]

that sucks for them lol

[rough ibex]

fuck you I got mine

[tender shard]

using the damage event is only okay if you actually wanna cancel the player dying

[fallen eagle]

What happens to my pl then?

[tender shard]

my standard response on grindr if someone offers to be my boyfriend

[valid burrow]

or if its not a public plugin lol

[rough ibex]

then why are you on grindr?

actually

[twin venture]

yes , so i don't want to break other plugin death that may use PlayerDeathEvent

[rough ibex]

nevermind i can imagine

[valid burrow]

well than you gotta do some fancy shit

then*

[tender shard]

exactly. what you sent earlier was fine. Use the DeathEvent, check lastDamageCause() -> getDamageCause (the enum thingy)

[tardy delta]

have ignoreCancelled=true, is that what youre talking about?

[tender shard]

the death event is not cancellable iirc

[valid burrow]

the death even wont be triggered

event*

[tardy delta]

ah ye

[valid burrow]

yeah

its not

[tender shard]

at least not when using spigot

I think paper made it cancellable

[tardy delta]

maybe mess with priorities

[tender shard]

not sure though

[twin venture]

what do you mean?

[valid burrow]

well you cant cancel the death even

so you gotta respawn the player yourself

[tender shard]

@twin venture just write your code. Use the DeathEvent, check the damage cause. Come back here if you encounter issues

do not listen to people who complain all day haha

where are we? at the finanzamt?

[valid burrow]

whats that supposed to mean lol he asked a question and i answered

[tender shard]

dw it wasn't meant as insult or anything

I only noticed that he wanted to get the job done and then he kept asking questions instead of just getting the job done

[twin venture]

alright , iam sorry i just want to make it as perfect as possible to big servers :p

[valid burrow]

well u can always fix stuff up later

get it functioning first

[tender shard]

don't worry! death event is fine 🙂

I got the most popular death chest plugin on spigotmc so pls listen to me when it comes to deaths and stuff haha :p

[valid burrow]

alex do u wanna rate a concept i made for my rpg game

[twin venture]

its weird the system i have now , with EntityDamageByEntityEvent works just fine , with 1.8 , but when i use it for 1.20.4 , when i hit the player once , welp he is dead

the health is 20 , and i hit him once and bom die

[tender shard]

pls realize that I have no education about coding whatsoever. I'm a licensed lawyer, coding is only my hobby

you're much better off asking 7smile

[valid burrow]

its not code just a concept of structuring the inventory

[tender shard]

or, if you like to get humiliated, ask frostalf

but sure, paste your code if you wanna get it reviewd by me

[valid burrow]

i aint that kinky

[tender shard]

haha not a sub? you sure?

[valid burrow]

but yh its not code its just a concept

[tender shard]

gimme github if you want a review

[tender shard]

or whatever

[valid burrow]

lemme move this to general

[tender shard]

ok

[wet breach]

I don't humiliate people o.O

why not use the API for that?

no need for NMS, unless there's an ?xy as md already said

[twin venture]

hmm weird

player is dying

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

this is how i have it rn ..

[vital void]

I am using an api

[rigid shoal]

i tried to get "world" but it gave me null instead
code:

try {
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        File yml = new File("plugins\\GDP\\DD\\DD.yml");
        YamlConfiguration ymlconfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(yml);
        String world = ymlconfig.getString("world");
        ymlconfig.save(yml);
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "You died at " + world);
      } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
      }

yaml file:

player-ruthresh266:
  world: overworld
  X: 182
  Y: 0
  Z: 17

[vital void]

you need to acess it via the section

try {
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        File yml = new File("plugins\\GDP\\DD\\DD.yml");
        YamlConfiguration ymlconfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(yml);
        String world = ymlconfig.getString("player-" + player.getName()+ ".world");
        ymlconfig.save(yml);
        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "You died at " + world);
      } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
      }

[rigid shoal]

thx

[heady leaf]

how can i make a slot infinite?
for example if i have 64 diamonds in a slot and i pick up another diamond i want to store it in the same stack so 65 diamonds in the same slot.

[shadow night]

You can't make it infinite

And storing more than the limit in a stack will cause client sided pain

[heady leaf]

even if it is a different gui? not the player's inventory.

[shadow night]

Any gui

[heady leaf]

:/

[shadow night]

You can make an item stack above the usual limit, but it'll be broken on the client and there is a limit

[tall dragon]

you could make something like that with the item's name or lore. but u cant rlly display a massive number as the amount

[heady leaf]

ok, i will do with lore than 🙂

thx

[twin venture]

i fixed my problem i was missing a return xD

[twin venture]

is this Efficent way to combine armors , and contents of player inventory?

[tall dragon]

im fairly certain #getContents() already contain the armor in modern versions

[twin venture]

well , for older ver no so ..

[tall dragon]

😔

[icy beacon]

btw is it just me or does bt for 1.8.8 not work anymore

[tall dragon]

doesnt spigot have Apache commons?

u could use ArrayUtils.addAll(first, second)

[eternal oxide]

it fails if you try to do sources or javadocs. One of them breaks it

[tall dragon]

not sure if that lib is included tho

[icy beacon]

uhh 1 sec

[twin venture]

i already have support for 1.20.4 , and i will support latest version only

but i want 1.8.8 for my own server

[uneven crater]

is it possible to make a stick enchantable in a enchanting table?

[icy beacon]

https://paste.md-5.net/ebahenaqed.coffeescript running bt.exe with both sources & javadocs unchecked
https://paste.md-5.net/aratekozas.cs running bt.exe with sources & javadocs unchecked & disabled cert check
https://paste.md-5.net/lazapexici.cs running bt.jar (cli)

bt.jar gets the farthest basically

[eternal oxide]

yeah I remember somethign about the jars being moved

[icy beacon]

never heard of it ☹️

thankfully i have run bt in like october or september successfully

but now it does not work

[ionic thicket]

yo, is it possible to add a method into Entity interface?

i want to add a method that checks whether that entity is or is not a boss

[eternal oxide]

a boss?

[ionic thicket]

yeah a custom mob i created

[eternal oxide]

add a PDC tag to them when you spawn it

[twin venture]

or NBT if you use older minecraft version :p

[ionic thicket]

Choco told me to but i'm not that good at OOP and i am having a hard time learning to understand documentations

[eternal oxide]

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[eternal oxide]

If you are not good with OOP and don't understand then creating custom mobs is not a good idea.

[tender shard]

learn OOP

[ionic thicket]

it's not that i dont know it: i just have some doubts about some specific stuff. Also i dont really know when i should create a class or when i should just code it in the main method

[inner mulch]

is there an event for listening to lightlevelchanges?

[young knoll]

No

[inner mulch]

is a hard reference to an entity only bad if i forget to clean up the memory or is this always bad practice?

[young knoll]

Generally it’s fine as long as you get rid of it when the entity is no longer around

[inner mulch]

okay

is it possible with an enum, to have multiple method implementations? or do they need to same?

[tardy delta]

an enum is just a class

hold a functional interface id say

[inner mulch]

alr

[crystal knot]

How can I make a config file looking like this :

playlists:
   playlist-1:
      - "yes"
      - "test"
      - "cool"
   playlist-2:
      - "yes2"
      - "test2"
      - "cool2"

[young knoll]

playlists is a section

playlist-1 and -2 are string lists

[crystal knot]

but if i want to make the player able to create many playlist they want ?

can i get how many list the section playlist have ?

[young knoll]

You can loop over all the keys in it

With ConfigurationSection#getKeys

[crystal knot]

ok thanks !

How can i get the duration of music/sound with the name but it's not always a sound from the Sound enum ? (like a sound added by a resourcepack

is there a way for me to prevent water from flowing to a certain block? I have a flower that could be washed away, which I want to prevent.
If that is something you can disable with block updates then I could use it for other stuff too, which I also need

[young knoll]

BlockFromToEvent

[stiff sonnet]

oh thanks!

[rigid shoal]

how do i fix this error when writing a yaml file

and the yaml is cleared out

[eternal oxide]

do not touch your config until after worlds are loaded if you store Locations/Worlds in it

[stiff sonnet]

I wanna do some stuff with water and any idea why this doesn't just work?

void onBlockPlace(BlockPlaceEvent e) {
    if (world.getBlockAt(e.getBlock().getLocation()).getType() == Material.WATER) {
        e.setCancelled(true);
        return;
   }

[eternal oxide]

You don;t "place" water blocks

its teh bucket empty event

[stiff sonnet]

this is about placing a block in a water source block

I wanna cancel that

[eternal oxide]

ah ok

[inner mulch]

is it a design issue when one manager needs another manager as dependency?

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/block/BlockPlaceEvent.html#getBlockReplacedState()

thats the block thats being replaced

[stiff sonnet]

oh thanks my intellij wasn't showing that

[rigid shoal]

but this happens when i use the command "read-yml"

[eternal oxide]

?paste your yaml

[undone axle]

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

[mighty gazelle]

Can you make a example please?

[eternal oxide]

there is already an example on that wiki

[mighty gazelle]

But I doesn't understand it

[rigid shoal]

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

[eternal oxide]

paste your command code and the full error you get

[rigid shoal]

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

[eternal oxide]

That yaml is not giving that error

[rigid shoal]

but happens everytime i used the command

i think its a player die event

[eternal oxide]

That is not the yaml you are reading

[rigid shoal]

wdym?

[eternal oxide]

the yml you just posted is NOT the yml you are trying to load

look at the actual yml file you are trying to read

[rigid shoal]

so you saying that this path is dont lead to the yml?

File yml = new File("plugins\\GDP\\DD\\DD.yml");

[lilac dagger]

most likely

[eternal oxide]

look at the actual yaml

[lilac dagger]

use this

[eternal oxide]

that File is fine

open the yaml file and look IN it

[lilac dagger]

File yml = new File(getDataFolder(), "filename.yml");

[eternal oxide]

the data IN the file is not the data you posted

[rigid shoal]

there is nothing

[eternal oxide]

I'll make it simpler.
When you write teh data to the config you are trying to store an actual World instead of World#name()

[rigid shoal]

ohhhhh

[eternal oxide]

teh file is most certainly not empty

[rigid shoal]

thx it works now

[sand spire]

Is there any up-to-date tutorial on how to control an entity's pathfinding and movements?

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/tutorial-creating-custom-entities-with-pathfindergoals.18519/
I found this from 2013 but after reading I found out none of the methods exist anymore, so I tried to guess the renamed methods. I found some but then I noticed they're from NMS and then I searched for the NMS java docs and then I figured out there are no NMS java docs so yeah

I couldn't find a simple way of doing this but you could get the entities close to the player immediately after the event and filter out the arrows, then use projectile#getShooter to get the ProjectileSource and cast it to Player

[icy beacon]

This will be wrong if an arrow is flying near a player already, e.g. he's getting shot by an arrow as he's shooting

Meaning that there will be some false positives

[sand spire]

thats why i said to get the projectilesource, to check if it's the same player

[icy beacon]

Though you could check if the shooter is the aforementioned player

That'll work

Yes

Missed that part

[flint coyote]

well then the shooter will be someone else. Did you try the ProjectileLaunchEvent? Or does that not trigger for crossbows?

[sand spire]

but they should check if the arrow wasn't already used, so if they shoot right up, and shoot another arrow when the arrow is close again it doesn't glitch

[flint coyote]

here the shooter will be someone else

in that specific case

[icy beacon]

Yep. Basically there's a way to do it in a hacky way but unfortunately nothing in the API probably

👍

[flint coyote]

As I mentioned earlier, there might be a ProjectileLaunchEvent for every arrow

Could use that, too

[worldly ingot]

I could be wrong, but I feel like I remember there being some quirk with the EntityShootBowEvent being called 3 times, once for each arrow of a multishot crossbow

[flint coyote]

If that a requirement then you'd have to check for the item in the main hand - if that isn't a bow/crossbow it was the offhand.
But yeah both solutions require some additional checks in this case

[worldly ingot]

Again, I could be misremembering, but at the time of implementation, I think the initial draft had a EntityShootBowEvent and an EntityShootCrossbowEvent

Or maybe that was still a WIP for crossbow support

Ah okay so that is an existing quirk. And I'm not going crazy, because yes, Diamond did pull request like 5 new events, one of which included EntityShootCrossbowEvent which includes all launched projectiles in a list

It was just never merged

AbstractArrow does have a isShotFromCrossbow() method though (or something similarly named)

[sand spire]

[stiff sonnet]

and idea how to get the minecraft gravity value from within bukkit?

I think it's the 9.81 meters per second like in real life, but I'm not sure

does seem a bit high though

[shadow night]

Can't you measure it and then write it as a constant somewhere

[stiff sonnet]

I can't "just" measure it

[shadow night]

why

[stiff sonnet]

I'd have to create a whole test setup

I don't know if I could get the velocity via minecraft commands

I could try that

[shadow night]

Why, can't you just check how long it takes to fall down 10 blocks

And then use that info

[stiff sonnet]

that is most inaccurate

[shadow night]

100 blocks then

[stiff sonnet]

oh there we go, tnt has a max velocity of -1.1 when falling

question is what exactly that means

oh yeah that divided by 20 is the velocity each tick, which is 0.055 blocks

[sand spire]

This source says acceleration is 0.04 blocks/tick² not sure if it's reliable but you can test it

[versed cliff]

Hello sir I want help

[trim quest]

Have you reviewed the code?

[young knoll]

The permission string

[versed cliff]

Today when i do stream I don't how more players join our server and from more ips nonstop join my server can you help me how to solve this problem

I need help please help me please 🥺😭

[stiff sonnet]

but what exactly is the permission string. How do you get it? Where does it come from? The permissible type that is linked has seemingly nothing to do with that

[tall dragon]

are you running your server from your computer?

[young knoll]

It's just a string

[stiff sonnet]

turn on the whitelist and go to #help-server

[young knoll]

It can be whatever you want it to be

[stiff sonnet]

what

bruh

[versed cliff]

No I have a paid server

[young knoll]

for example

"essentials.command.warp"

[versed cliff]

No I have public SERVER

[tall dragon]

then what exactly is the issue

[stiff sonnet]

isn't the point of a public server that anyone can join?

also this isn't development related is it? So go to #help-server please

[versed cliff]

Today when I do stream and more more players join and disconnect more players just do join and disconnect and my server performance gone bad that is the issue

[tall dragon]

so u want to block people from joining

[versed cliff]

Ok

[stiff sonnet]

either

1. whitelist
   or
2. player limit in the config

[versed cliff]

I can't nonstop join more players i think 500+

[stiff sonnet]

why would you set your player limit to a value that your server cannot handle

[young knoll]

I mean most servers tend to do that

kek

[versed cliff]

No my players limit is 30 but they doing join and disconnect

[stiff sonnet]

do I need to do anything else to make that work? I'm getting zero text in the chat: IslandWars.plugin.getServer().broadcast("Broadcasting!", "islandwars.broadcast");

[young knoll]

Do you have that permission

[versed cliff]

They not stay in my server

I don't know and plugin to stop the issue

[stiff sonnet]

I need to have that permission? I was just trying to broadcast to every player, and it's surprisingly involved

[young knoll]

If that's all you want

[stiff sonnet]

I guess I'll just iterate over all players instead

[young knoll]

use broadcastMessage

[stiff sonnet]

that is deprecated though

[young knoll]

You are using paper's api

Ask them

[stiff sonnet]

not intentionally

I created a spigot plugin

[young knoll]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Change the dependency in maven/gradle

[stiff sonnet]

I guess the mcdev intellij plugin is trolling then. Ill just use broadcastMessage

thanks!

[young knoll]

Also you can just do Bukkit.broadcastMessage

[trim lake]

What is best way to edit inventory title without NMS is that possible? I´m using version of MC where u cant change inventory title with API. I need to display weight of the inventory next to title, or what would be best other way to do that?

[young knoll]

Packets

[stiff sonnet]

is Bukkit the same as plugin.getServer?

[young knoll]

yes

[stiff sonnet]

bruh

let me just replace that in like 50 different places

[young knoll]

Everything in the server class is also available statically in Bukkit

[trim lake]

so NMS fck, I was thinking if I can display next to inventory or somewhere... can I send 2 lines in action bar? 🤔

[young knoll]

Not without resource pack magic

also you don't need NMS for packets, there are third party apis you can use

(Protocollib and PacketEvents)

register your event handler

It is done, all the other events work (the file is a bit cut)

That's just standard YML

how can I do resource pack magic, then? I have no clue how to work with resourcpacks tbh. I will probably do NMS way than.. still need to learn that so thats sound like good start to learn that

did you do any debugging?

it's not that long

i will share my code you guys can understand me

[stiff sonnet]

that is not called debugging

debugging is when you substitute random parts in your code for very simple bits until it works, then then you find out why the part you removed is not working

[fallen eagle]

But couldnt u help me solve it please

[trim quest]

@young knoll what do you mean ?

[kind hatch]

You could iterate through the structure and track which sections are proper and complete, then clear any extra sections (typos, extras, etc)

[stiff sonnet]

no you could just try that. if you have zero java knowledge you're not going to get far

[fallen eagle]

I know some java

But idk why the person in the tuto works and mine no

[trim quest]

i did

[stiff sonnet]

then you should be able to do it. 50% of the possibly problematic parts aren't even in your screenshot

how would i customize a player's name in a tablist? nms?

[trim quest]

you only tested verifyExistingContent() method right ? @kind hatch

[tall dragon]

Player#setTabListName

[hybrid turret]

oh- there's a method for it???????

LOL

[kind hatch]

Slightly modified, but yea.

[tall dragon]

jup

[trim quest]

this is more important

[hybrid turret]

bukkit or nms player?

[trim quest]

i dont wanna delete existing custom-heads.yml

[hybrid turret]

also which version?

[kind hatch]

So you want multiple head sections in one file?

[tall dragon]

bukkit

[hybrid turret]

let me guess, 1.20?

[tall dragon]

fairly modern version

probably

[hybrid turret]

damn

i'm on 1.19.4

[tall dragon]

not sure where exactly it was introduced

[trim quest]

findOrCreateFile() is not working properly

https://paste.md-5.net/habinofaqo.java @kind hatch

[hybrid turret]

can't even find it in the api https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/

[tall dragon]

oh its #setPlayerListName

check that

mah bad

[hybrid turret]

ahhh

ty

[trim quest]

@kind hatch

[remote swallow]

that seems convoluted

[trim quest]

each SkullService constructor call will iterate existing file

[remote swallow]

why not just

FIle customHeads = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "custom-heads.yml")

if (!customHeads.exists()) {
    plugin.saveResource("xxxx")
}

load

[hybrid turret]

i also absolutely can't get my skin changing to work, it's so annoying

ffs

i even send the respawn packet

[hybrid turret]

it kinda uhm ... doesn't change it

I'm trying to change the DisplayName. GP-Name and TablistName

[trim quest]

Because there will be a lot of yml content management code in skullService and I don't want everything to go wrong with the slightest mistake, so it is very important that the content is correct.

[kind hatch]

This just seems to work for me on my end.

[trim quest]

thanks @kind hatch

[tall dragon]

setPlayerList name would only work for the name on tab

iirc

[hybrid turret]

yeah

[trim quest]

At least we know 1 method is working properly.

[hybrid turret]

i managed to change the displayname using Player#setDisplayName and the GP-Name using NMS and Reflection

but the tablist name won't change fsr

[tall dragon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hybrid turret]

welp

eh, enough for today anyway

[kind hatch]

I'd of just split the files up if it were me that way individual files can be removed if need be, but to each their own.

[trim quest]

i will do it also but in spigot its hard to do that

[kind hatch]

Not really. It's just file iteration.

Spigot supports yml out of the box and if that's the format you want to go with, it makes it really easy.

You also already have the core classes to do it.

FileConfiguration & YamlConfiguration

[trim quest]

ok i will split

but find name for me 😄

doing abstraction is hard for files i readed this somewhere. you cannot do inheritance for each file type

for me i want to seperate them

[remote swallow]

why find by name

[twin venture]

hi , trying to make something a bit hard and simple . so how i can make this command system way better , by making it not needing to register in plugin.yml

[remote swallow]

if you know the name you can just get it directly and check if exists

[kind hatch]

Honestly, the file name is irrelevant if you have a good file structure are only going to iterate over the entire subfolder.
At that point, the file contents are all that matters.

[remote swallow]

if its a subfolder then the names are irrelevant

ye

[trim quest]

you mean seperating yml and Skull ?

[kind hatch]

Each skull would get its own file.

[trim quest]

Frankly, I want to write something like SkullRepository and treat the file needed here as a database.

[lilac dagger]

you need to look into command map

[maiden thicket]

extend Command, use commandmap

[kind hatch]

Made a similar system at one point. (No file verification yet)

[trim quest]

This seems logical, but what do you do when you do something related to these player heads, for example when it comes to deletion?

[kind hatch]

In that system, all you would have to do is delete the file.

Then reload the data

[trim quest]

loosely coupling is more important.
I think the only mistake in the Skull Service I wrote is that I cannot establish the Repo-Service relationship.
It is better to depend on one file than to depend on multiple files.

I mean separating files is not exactly something that reduces coupling. Sometimes it will increases coupling

[proven musk]

How o you get the displayed name of an item. I tried ItemMeta.getDisplayName() but it gave me this for an item that hasn't been renamed

[young knoll]

If it doesn't have a custom name it doesn't technically have a name server side

[proven musk]

do I just need to implement my own method for this

it feels like something that should definitely be there already but whatever

[young knoll]

Just a translation key, which you can get via Material#getTranslationKey

[robust pebble]

PluginNAME\build\libs is where u get ur jar files right...

for building

[proven musk]

yeah but Id just set it up to copy into your plugins folder

[robust pebble]

aight

been forever since my las plugin

[restive mango]

How bad is it to pass something an Object[] which have to be cast back to being int/doubles/strings etc instead of just like an actual int, double, string, etc.

[rotund ravine]

i mean it's just annoying

[restive mango]

I'm just looking into making some effects that can either be triggered by command or by clicking with a particular item, and those effects have various parameters that can be changed

ugh i feel like there's definitely a better way to do this

@rotund ravine would you be fine

if i explained it in more depth

and you gave me your thoughts on if there is a better way to do this that I'm missing?

the ultimate issue is i made all the effect classes implement a general interface class

which has a 'use' method

void use (Player p, Object[] parameters);

[eternal night]

I mean instead do something like

interface Effect<P> {
  use(Player p, P effectParams);
} 

[sullen canyon]

dejavu

[eternal night]

Object[] param is just fucking terrible as you don't get compile time safety for the arguments you are passing

[restive mango]

what would P effectParams be though

[eternal night]

param typee

[restive mango]

so like a class which has lists of different variables?

[eternal night]

class FireEffect implements Effect<FireEffect.Params> {
  record Params(int range) {}

  public use(Player p, Params params) {}
}

now, if you have them in some Map<String, Effect>, you'll still not get complete type safety as you'll have to do some unchecked casts

[blazing ocean]

what the fuck is that theme

[eternal night]

but better than not knowing anything about the param order

[restive mango]

hrm

[celest notch]

Does anyone know how to check the blocks next to a player relative to their position, i am trying to make wallrunning and walljumping for an rpg

[orchid trout]

there are at least 20 threads on spigotmc about this

[restive mango]

What I'm thinking of doing is having a general Params class which can be passed to any of the effects, and stores arrays of the params, and then just a list of an enum where the current enum is the paramtype for the current param slot

e.g. an effect which takes the params int double int int string

would have say five lists

one particle, empty

one double, with 1 entry

one int, with 3 entries

one string, with 1 entry

one material, empty

and then one of the enum lists

which would be INT, DOUBLE, INT, INT, STRING

@eternal night what do you think?

[eternal night]

code it and see if you like it

[restive mango]

these seems interesting, but i don't want to store the params in the effect class since you only call the class once to actually use the effect

[eternal night]

[restive mango]

what

[eternal night]

make the type static then

but in the end, code up the system, implement the first couple effects and if it absolutely blows, revisit and try something else

[restive mango]

wait

LOL

im wrong

[eternal night]

Object[] is just annoying as fuck for both the effect and the caller.
If you want the range of a fireeffect, is that the first or second integer?

same goes for calling it

you are relying on a contract that cannot be enforced whatsoever

[tardy delta]

laughs at you in javascript

[tall dragon]

[remote swallow]

1 + 3?

sorry

.1 + .3

[orchid trout]

non overridable, not final method how

[tall dragon]

why??

[tardy delta]

why not final

[upper hazel]

chat support /n for line break?

[rotund ravine]

no

[upper hazel]

dem how i shold add list string to placeholder api...

[orchid trout]

do you think more people are sitting or standing right now

in the whole world

[young knoll]

Does laying down count as sitting?

[rotund ravine]

not made for that

I saw some do like

%playertops_first%
%playertops_second%

etc

[tardy delta]

standing

[rotund ravine]

China be dominating with their standing people

[young knoll]

I mean if laying down is sitting then probably sitting

Cuz yknow

sleep

[upper hazel]

i need add %ch_history% bro

[orchid trout]

sleeping isnt sitting

or laying down isnt sitting

[rotund ravine]

well that sucks then

[young knoll]

Probably standing then

[shell robin]

How can I create a sign in 1.20.4?

[rotund ravine]

How have you tried

[shell robin]

I'm trying sign.setLine() but its deprecated

[rotund ravine]

what does it say

https://puu.sh/K4RE9/49983eb25c.png

[young knoll]

I saw that

[tardy delta]

you saw what

[eternal night]

setLine(10, "dummy")

[shell robin]

Thank you

[young knoll]

"may" "multiple" I'm pretty sure it's always exactly 2 smh

[shell robin]

Did you say me?

[remote swallow]

my sines are triangular

[young knoll]

Sines

I didn’t know sine waves could be triangular

[shell robin]

According to what's written here, I should be able to use this, right?

        Side side = Side.FRONT;
        SignSide signSide = sign.getSide(side);
        signSide.setLine(1, "a");```

[winter galleon]

is there an event when i hover a player with my crosshair?

[young knoll]

No

[winter galleon]

something similiar? like player targeting or some shi like this?

[stiff sonnet]

ugh any idea why I cannot give myself an item with the material redstone_wire, only redstone being possible, but when I mine the redstone it's suddenly redstone_wire?

[tender shard]

no, use PlayerMoveEvent (or run once per tick) and then use rayTraceEntities

[tender shard]

what happens if you give yourself redstone_wire ? what happens if you give yourself redsone?

any error messages?

[young knoll]

redstone wire is a block

[stiff sonnet]

if I give myself redstone_wire literally nothing happens

[young knoll]

Not an item

[stiff sonnet]

it's the dust

[young knoll]

Yes

But it’s only a block

[stiff sonnet]

that's waht I get when I give myself redstone

[young knoll]

Redstone is the item form

[stiff sonnet]

why would there be two item IDs for the same thing

[young knoll]

Ask Mojang

[stiff sonnet]

now I need to add some stupid workaround to my pretty neat inventory manager

[young knoll]

BlockData#getPlacementMaterial

[stiff sonnet]

is that available on all blocks or only on some?

[young knoll]

It’s on BlockData

So all blocks

[stiff sonnet]

ok, thanks I'll give that a try

awesome, that worked! Thank you so much!

[young knoll]

This is what happens when material isn’t separated :(

[stiff sonnet]

to be honest I can't remember fabric having that problem. The one thing that I remember annoying me from the very beginning is how bukkit material names are somehow mostly coherent with the in-game names and somehow partly so vastly diverging that it's actually annoying to find the material names at times

[shell robin]

hey

[young knoll]

We’ll get the split to ItemType and BlockType done eventually

[shell robin]

How? I didn't understand what you were telling me to do

[kind hatch]

There's a PR open for it. There's nothing for you to do at this point.

[young knoll]

That wasn’t directed at you

Have you tried the code you wrote

[shell robin]

I didn't run it because it says signSide.setLine() is deprecated

[young knoll]

My guess is paper api

[shell robin]

Oh 🤦🏻‍♂️

My bad

[inner mulch]

can getBlock from a location be null?

maybe if its air

[rotund ravine]

a block in the world

will never be null

location can be messed up though

[inner mulch]

i feel like its returning null

[rotund ravine]

guess ur location is borked

[rotund ravine]

why?

[young knoll]

If the location has no world it might Bork

[inner mulch]

i will test it now

okay it cannot be null so it ahs to be something else causing the error

[rotund ravine]

What is ur code

[inner mulch]

im gonna debug now

[rotund ravine]

show code

I'll debug with my brain

[inner mulch]

no im fine

[rotund ravine]

i promise a 15% success rate

[inner mulch]

wait

i will show when im at my end point

but i think i have the solution

[inner mulch]

getEyeHeight returns 1

[rotund ravine]

yes

[inner mulch]

thats the problem

so

[rotund ravine]

Obviously it returns 1

[inner mulch]

im just gonna player.getY + eyelocation

[rotund ravine]

getEyeLocation

i linked that for ya too

[inner mulch]

yeah but that creates a new location

right?

[rotund ravine]

Don't overoptimize lel

[inner mulch]

but when i can why not?

[rotund ravine]

Cause that's dumb

[inner mulch]

nah

[sand spire]

Hey, does anyone know why my zombie is still pathfinding to players and villagers after I overwrite registering the goals and leave it empty?
https://pastes.dev/5xvADYTH3x

[rotund ravine]

u haven't left anything empty

[young knoll]

Because you are calling super.registerGoals

[sand spire]

oh bruh i thought that replaced that method with this one but it does it the other way around

thanks

[inner mulch]

is the Y in f3 the location im on or in my feet?

[rotund ravine]

it's ur location

but it is also the place ur feet is at

[inner mulch]

so the block below me?

[rotund ravine]

Well

Below ur eyeheight yes

[sand spire]

if I don't overwrite at all, it does the same as overwriting + super right? so I only need to overwrite what I want to change and don't call super in there

[rotund ravine]

But not below ur feet

[rotund ravine]

Yes just don't call super

Read up on what super does

[sand spire]

alright I was scared i had to overwrite the 100 methods to make the zombie function normally

[inner mulch]

jan

i ran into an issue 😔

i can trace the block that above the player head with player.getY + eyelocationY. I want the air block tho the player looks at, at the x and z of the anchor block

[rotund ravine]

Get the player direction

and do some math

like a fake raytrace

[inner mulch]

noo its my biggest enemey

what even is direction 😔

[rotund ravine]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#rayTrace(org.bukkit.Location,org.bukkit.util.Vector,double,org.bukkit.FluidCollisionMode,boolean,double,java.util.function.Predicate)

Guess u can use this

[inner mulch]

fluid == air?

does this print true jan

for spigot

[rotund ravine]

what

[young knoll]

Fluid is not air

Cuz yknow

It’s a fluid

[inner mulch]

i feel like raytrace is overkill for this, i have x and z and just need the y the player looks at, at x and z

[young knoll]

The only 2 fluids in minecraft atm are water and lava, neither of which are air

[wicked pendant]

Hey!
I'm coding a custom plugin for my Practice server, however while trying to prevent explosions from destroying white stained glass, I got it mostly working, but only half of the glass gets saved from the explosion, and the other half still gets blown up.
The code is the most basic way of doing this:

@EventHandler
public void onEntityExplode(EntityExplodeEvent event) {
    for (Block block : event.blockList()) {
        if (block.getType() == Material.WHITE_STAINED_GLASS) {
            event.blockList().remove(block);
        }
    }
}

Anybody aware of how can I fix this issue?

[young knoll]

Isn’t that gonna throw a concurrent modification exception

[rotund ravine]

probably

[wicked pendant]

Nope, there are no errors

[young knoll]

The heck kinda list is that event using

Anyway, try removeIf

[merry cove]

am a bit curious. made my own grappling hook system, and don't see a good way of handling fall damage negated only when used the grappling hook and not have an abusive way of using it ?

I tried hooking the cooldown system to it, but if the cooldown is lower than the leap it's a bit redundant

[wicked pendant]

Could you elaborate a little?

[young knoll]

event.blockList().removeIf(predicate)

[wicked pendant]

Oh. alright

gimme a sec

Yep. Thats works perfect.
Thanks!

[stiff sonnet]

is there a hook that gets called when water flushes away block like redstone? I'd have expected the blockBreakEvent to be called there, but that doesn't seem to be the case

[young knoll]

BlockFromToEvent
