How do I have multiple version support with the remapped NMS? I am currently doing this in my build.gradle to get the remapped NMS, however this only supports 1 version, and since it is remapped on any other version it doesnt work. Is there out of the box support, or am I out of luck?:

compileOnly 'org.spigotmc:spigot:1.20.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT:remapped-mojang'

[quiet ice]

Most of the time people opt for multi-module projects when supporting multiple NMS versions

[lost matrix]

You need to build every single version using BuildTools, then create a multi-module project, create one module for every version,
in your core you shade all modules in, detect the server version, and load the implementation for that version or throw an exception
if there is none.

[twilit wharf]

Would that look like this?

├── versions
|   ├── V1_20_4
|   |  ├── src
|   |  └── build.gradle
|   └── V1_20_3
|    ├── src
|    └── build.gradle
├── common
|  ├── src
|  └── build.gradle
├── build.gradle
└── settings.gradle

[river oracle]

Yeah pretty much

[lost matrix]

Sure, if you have the proper gradle knowledge for this

[river oracle]

You'd need a build gradle in the versions sub folder though if you wanted to maximize gradle

[slim kernel]

so this alone should already create the folder right?

because I tried it and it didnt

[young knoll]

No

[twilit wharf]

I dont, but I am gonna figure it out 👍

[young knoll]

You need to call mkdir/mkdirs

[lost matrix]

A File is an in-memory facade for IO methods.
If you dont call methods on this, then there is nothing happening on your storage medium.

[river oracle]

java nio >>

[young knoll]

But what’s the memory overhead of a Path vs a File!!!!111

[river oracle]

Path is slightly more iirc

[glad prawn]

I use File, because Spigot uses it 😄

[slim kernel]

so this then?

File directory = new File(Main.getPlugin().getDataFolder(), "plots");
         if (!directory.exists()) {
             System.out.println("testtt");
            directory.mkdir();
        }

[river oracle]

I always convert file to path xD

[slim kernel]

its still doesnt work 😦

[lost matrix]

Code + stacktrace plox

I bet you havent checked if listFiles() returns null

[slim kernel]

I just removed it for now, to just get the create folder thing working

[slim kernel]

public PlotHandler() {
        File directory = new File(Main.getPlugin().getDataFolder(), "plots");
         if (!directory.exists()) {
             directory.mkdir();
        }
    }

thats the whole code rn

[glad prawn]

is your parent dir exists?

[slim kernel]

yeah thats where the plugin is no?

okayy so this works: if (!Main.getPlugin().getDataFolder().exists()) Main.getPlugin().getDataFolder().mkdir();
but this doesnt, why?

        if (!Main.getPlugin().getDataFolder().exists()) directory.mkdir();

[glad prawn]

dont need to check for your parent dir, just call .mkdirs

[slim kernel]

thank you, it was the s behind the mkdir all the time, works now thx

When you wanna ask why your shit is breaking, but you wrote it

[vast ledge]

I just found the stupidest shit

ever

like holy shit

Woops

And im wondering, why its only assigning using the same location for both of em

[tardy delta]

extract common code

[worldly ingot]

tbh, only real improvement you can make there is using an elseif

[vast ledge]

tahts true

[worldly ingot]

if (p1 == null) {
    forcePoint(location, Point.ONE);
} else if (p2 == null) {
    forcePoint(location, Point.TWO);
}

return this;

That's about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vast ledge]

I have so many questions

Why is it only getting called once?

and why is it re-using the coordinate

[glad prawn]

your p1 is null forcePoint then return

[vast ledge]

Quite litteraly, the function generatePoint is only being called once

does anyone have an idea why my eventhandler isn't triggering? It does open the inventory, but the inventoryClick event seemingly never triggers

nothing in the console eitehr

[inner mulch]

make it public

method needs to be public

and i hope you have registered your listener

[stiff sonnet]

look at the constructor

still nothing, even with the methods public

[sand spire]

Hey, so I have this method to get a random object from a collection, but the method is flawed because when the total chances exceed 100 the first methods in the collection have a higher chance, and when the chances don't up to 100 there is a chance the method returns null (which I don't want).

I think the solution is to do math to increase or decrease the numbers so the total still adds up to 100, but idk how I would even do this or if there isn't a better way to do this. Can someone help me with this?

public Object chooseRandomObject() {
        double random = Math.random() * 101;

        for (Object object : myObjects) {
            if (random <= object.getChance) { //chance = int 0-100
                return object;
            }
        }
        return null;
    }```

[slender elbow]

[stiff sonnet]

something similar has worked wonders

I think it's pretty sleek, when it works of course

bruh, the close event is called when I open the inventory

what the hell

[slender elbow]

yeah well that's preventing it from working due to how inventories work

[stiff sonnet]

ugh, I guess I'll have to catch the first inventory close manually

[lost matrix]

Make your pv field private and final and use a more descriptive name for it.
Define your constructor as public

Increase the visibility of your EventHandler methods to public as well.
Spigots event system uses reflections to invoke those methods and there are tests
suggesting that lower method visibility decreases performance before JIT optimizes them.

Dont let a Listener self-register. Constructors should exclusively used to initialize the fields of an object
without any side effects.

Dont use underscores as prefixes for fields.
Define your fields as private (eg the _items field), and use getters/setters for the appropriate visibility.
Dont use abbreviations for variables like e or m. Importance of choosing descriptive variable names is often underestimated.

You should prevent (un)registering Listeners during runtime. Rebaking the handler list can get quite expensive.

[echo basalt]

Chill out this isn't #1100941063058894868

AH that still exists

[proper cosmos]

I'm pretty sure you can use java.util.Random.

Random rand = new Random();

// Random number beetwen 1 and 100
int randomNum = rand.nextInt(1,100);

[sand spire]

yeah but I want to choose a random object from the collection using the object's int chance without having to make sure the total chance equals 100

[dawn flower]

how do i lower heart particles when you deal alot of damage

[proper cosmos]

I don't get what's your problem here

[vast ledge]

?

You mean from the texture pack

or?

THe crit particles

[dawn flower]

when u deal like 1000 damage

it spawns abunch of heart particles

[vast ledge]

It never shows hearts?

[dawn flower]

dms

[vast ledge]

Texture pack or A plugin making them

[dawn flower]

idk, it's vanilla

[icy beacon]

none of this should be in the constructor

[vast ledge]

Turn off your texture packs and try agian

1.20.4

[sand spire]

lets say I have a list of objects with chances. Object: Chance

A: 25
B: 25
C: 50

This would work fine, because my method generates a random number from 0-100 and if the number is less than the chance it chooses that (I just realized this gives priority to objects early in the list so its even more flawed than I thought...)```

A: 100
B: 100

This would always choose A, while it should be a 50/50 between A and B```

A: 10
B: 40

This would give a 50% chance for the method to return null while I need it to always return something.```

so I need to normalize the chances so it adds up to 100, and stop giving priority to numbers early in the list

but idk how

[icy beacon]

I'd say the total weight should not always be 100 but rather the sum of all individual weights

Other than that I have nothing to add, I haven't done weighted random in a while

[dawn flower]

use a sword

[vast ledge]

Theres only like 5

Im not getting anywhere close to the 5k you sent me

[dawn flower]

im dealing like 10000 dmg in that message

[vast ledge]

"Theoretical" dmg

or

[dawn flower]

i want to lower the heart particles

[dawn flower]

it can be wayy higher

[vast ledge]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/hide-critical-hit-effect.86800/

Probably client side

[twin venture]

hi , how does Annonation work?
lets say can it work like this ?
i have a main user class :
with sub classes in it :
public class User ..
@LoadUser // this will execute a method from another class to load the user
privite UserStats stats;

is this possible?

[sand spire]

It seems like you get more hearts the more damage you deal, it also looks clientbount so you would probably have to mess with packets

[vast ledge]

Or if its server side you're gna have to cancle a packet

[dawn flower]

oof

[vast ledge]

In what language

[twin venture]

Java

[vast ledge]

Look at ms ss soemthing like this?

Dont work much with annotations, gonna have to get somebody else to answer xD

[chrome beacon]

yes it's possible

[vast ledge]

But basically you want an annotation to load the userdata?

[twin venture]

public class User{
here is an annonation :
@LoadUser(UserStats.class)
privite UserStats userstats

}

[chrome beacon]

that's how the EventHandler annotation works for example

[twin venture]

so this way i can load the data directly from the user when he join , or he needs it can i ?

[chrome beacon]

Annotations are quite powerful

I wish it was easier to work with them at compile time though

[twin venture]

i never never made Annonations

or worked with them

[vast ledge]

Gotta read into em, found em a bit to annoying and complicated xD

[twin venture]

can you give me a tutorial page or smth?

or docs on how to do it?

[chrome beacon]

https://www.baeldung.com/java-custom-annotation

[vast ledge]

I litteraly just pulled that up and was abt to send

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/java-annotations

Digital Ocean usually has decent explanations + tutorials aswell

[icy beacon]

Annotation-based anything is fun to create because you get to use reflection

[sand spire]

I created this method with the help of ChatGPT, and this would probably work but I'm not sure if it will be a problem if I end up creating thousands of new objects to put in the list

public Object chooseRandomObject() {
        List<Object> list = new ArrayList<>();
        for (Object object : myObjects) {
            for (int i = 0; i < object.getChance; i++) {
                list.add(object.clone);
            }
        }
        return list.get(new Random().nextInt(list.size() - 1));
    }```

[icy beacon]

1 sec I'll take a look at how I do weighted

[sand spire]

thanks

[lost matrix]

What type is myObjects

[vast ledge]

Most likely an array of Objects

[sand spire]

Just whatever custom object I want to use, in this case I'm using it to get a random Attack object to use for a boss

[lost matrix]

?

[icy beacon]

Nvm I don't seem to do weighted random at all in this project lol, thought I did

[dawn flower]

is there a gui builder app or whatever that turns your gui into spigot code

that'd be really cool

[lost matrix]

Weighted randoms can be achieved with a NavigableMap or a RangeMap from guava

[sand spire]

oh you meant type not object, I'll probably use List or Set

[stiff sonnet]

eh, it's fine. I know about those underscores but I wanted to mark it as obviously different. I have a class with a static list of instances of itself, so yeah I just wanted to make that clear.
The self-registering part isn't too wrong imo. The class only works when registered, so I think that should be part of the constructor (also it's very compact)
The private and whatnot stuff could be added of course, but I don't really care about any access modifiers here and I think they just clutter up the code a bunch

[lost matrix]

Do you want certain abilities to have a higher chance of being selected? Or just a random element from a List.

[sand spire]

Certain abilities a higher chance

[vast ledge]

Then you need weighted

[lost matrix]

Yep, let me try to explain the idea of a weighted random.

[echo basalt]

Isn't it just like

Add entries at a given weight, roll a number between 0-weight and get the top entry

[trail lintel]

Hey guys, I am a bit puzzled by my custom item behavior and wonder if anybody can help me out. Here is the handler code.

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

Where I check if the item is an interactable block and return early if that is the case, seems to work fine for chests and crafting tables, but other things like jukeboxes, cauldrons, etc still "use" the item. Am I missing something here?

[vast ledge]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[lost matrix]

In essence you have a range of numbers as a key, and a total value which is the sum of all keys.
Eg you have 3 objects:
X -> Weight = 5
Y -> Weight = 10
Z -> Weight = 10

Then your keys will have the following distribution:

| 0-4 |   5-14   |  15-24   |

Meaning your top is 5 + 10 + 10 = 25 and your bottom is 0

You now roll a random number between 0 inclusive and 25 exclusive.
This Will land anywhere in the distribution:
Eg you rolled an 11:

           ↓
| 0-4 |   5-14   |  15-24   |

Which is in the second range. Meaning you select Y in this case.

[trail lintel]

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

[vast ledge]

    if (action != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR && action != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)
        return;

Oh

hm

yea

wait

[sand spire]

I think I understand, but how would I turn X = 5, Y = 10, Z = 10 into | 0-4 | 5-14 | 15-24 |

[vast ledge]

How is the item "used" on them

[trail lintel]

So in this context, its a custom item where the base item being used is an ender pearl

When I right click the cauldron or the jukebox, the ender pearl just gets thrown as normal

rather than using the custom logic

[vast ledge]

Great idea

[lost matrix]

I could give you a simple implementation if you want. Or explain how to implement it using a RangeMap

[vast ledge]

just cancel it when the player is holding it

dont care if the block is interactable

[trail lintel]

the problem there is

I want to be able to interact with chests and stuff like normal when the item is being held

[sand spire]

Whichever works for you please

[trail lintel]

which chests and stuff DO work, but something seems to be different about jukeboxes and cauldrons

[lost matrix]

Alright ill write something simple. One minute.

[vast ledge]

So the pearl gets thrown when you rightclick a Jukebox?

[trail lintel]

yup, thats right. But when right clicking a chest it opens the custom inventory as expected

[lost matrix]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[vast ledge]

I dont think im quite understading the final Goal?
You want an enderpearl, to not be thrown at all, but when you click a chest withit, it still opens the chest normally?

[trail lintel]

I want an ender pearl that will open the custom inventory in all cases except when a player is looking at an interactable block, in which case it will NOT throw the pearl but interact with the block

I'm not sure if its even possible

[vast ledge]

Sure its possible

But a Cauldron counts as interactible

[trail lintel]

I do notice other "interactable" items in the base game do not trigger when right clicking the jukebox

[lost matrix]

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

Example usage:

WeightedMap<ItemStack> weightedMap = new WeightedMap<>();

weightedMap.add(new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND), 5);
weightedMap.add(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_INGOT), 10);
weightedMap.add(new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_INGOT), 20);

ItemStack randomItem = weightedMap.selectRandom();

[vast ledge]

since you can remove water etc

[trail lintel]

or cauldron, so it must be possible

[vast ledge]

just add a check

if its cauldron, or something that doesnt open an ivnetory, but is iteractable, cancel it

[trail lintel]

Hmm see originally that is how I was handling it, I was checking for individual block ids

But then people keep finding new ones, cauldron, fence posts, etc

and the list is getting BIG lol

[sand spire]

Oh wow I didn't expect it to be that simple, thank you 🙏

Do I need to order it from lowest to highest or will the weightedMap do that for me?

[lost matrix]

Just throw them in with your weight. Order is irrelevant

[vast ledge]

@EventHandler
private void onRightClick(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    Action action = event.getAction();
    ItemStack item = event.getItem();
    if (action != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR && action != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)
        return;
    if (item == null || !itemManager.isEnderBag(item))
        return;

    if (player.hasPermission("enderbag.use")) {
        Block clickedBlock = event.getClickedBlock();
        if (clickedBlock != null) {
            Material mat = clickedBlock.getType();
            if(!allowedBlocks.contains(mat)) return;
        }
        event.setCancelled(true);
        itemManager.openInventory(player);
    } else {
        player.sendMessage(String.format("§cYou do not have permission to use the %s", config.itemName));
    }
}

[vast ledge]

@trail lintel

Then make an Arraylist, with the blocks that do open inventories

[trail lintel]

Yeah thats not a bad idea, just maintain a big ol list of allowed blocks

[vast ledge]

which should be alot less

[trail lintel]

That might just be the solution ill go with =]

[icy beacon]

Maybe Set would be (negligibly) more performant?

[lost matrix]

What am i reading

[vast ledge]

dw

[sand spire]

I have the navigablemap and the rangemap but not the weightedmap

[glad prawn]

that's custom class

[sand spire]

or should I use one of these

[lost matrix]

WeightedMap is the class ive written and pasted...

[sand spire]

Oh I thought the link was the same as the code you sent in here 🤦

[lost matrix]

Yes. I always post codeblocks, links to paste and then i do a twitter post of the code for good measure.

[icy beacon]

Smile you're almost at 50k messages

[vast ledge]

I mean a function like

#.getAttachedInventory()
or
#.hasAttachedInventory()

would be pretty useful

[lost matrix]

[sand spire]

That's why it looked so simple xd, cause you did all the math in the background. Thanks again

[lost matrix]

Would you mind showing your isEnderBag method?

[trail lintel]

For sure =]

as the matter of fact, would a github link be better?

for the whole code

[lilac dagger]

is there a reason why i can't load jars at runtime?

am i doing something wrong?

[lost matrix]

Alright looks fine. PDC is a good choice.
Btw i would probably make this a bit more expandable.
Your value in the PDC currently has no actual meaning besides 'existing'.
Its probably a good idea to give it some meaning. For example you could create an enum for your custom items:

public enum CustomItemType {
  ENDER_BAG,
  FIRE_WAND,
  WHATEVER,
  NONE
}

And then rewrite your
public boolean isEnderBag(ItemStack stack)
method to
public CustomItemType getCustomItemType(ItemStack stack)
which then returns either one of your types or CustomItemType.NONE if its none of your custom items.

Then store your CustomItemType in a pdc key like itemtype : "ENDER_BAG"

This lets you be a bit more dynamic. Otherwise you would have to create a new isXYZ() method for every custom item.

[trail lintel]

Ohh yeah thats a good idea. I had been meaning to revisit that logic to make it a bit more extensible.

Hmm, testing it with just a base ender eye I notice the behavior is to open chests and craftin tables, then to use the item when you try to interact with cauldrons etc

I think maybe this might not just be possible with using the ender eye as the base item, I can cancel the event but that prevents interaction with proper blocks as well

[shadow night]

can't you check whether it's with a proper block or not

[trail lintel]

I suppose I could do that yeah, it seems weird to have to manually maintian a list of blocks that should or should not work though

But maybe when you doing something like this a little bit of jenk is inevitable

[icy beacon]

what time is it?

raydan

i need the current time

[vast ledge]

wdym current time?

Your local time?

[icy beacon]

no

[icy beacon]

thanks raydan i appreciate it

[trail lintel]

Sometimes simple answer is probably best, I think I will just switch it to use a base item that doesn't have an interact event =]

An emerald seems like a good compromise for people without the texture pack

[stiff sonnet]

what's the path for plugin.getConfig() or saveDefaultConfig is it just plugins/<pluginname>/config.yml?

[twin venture]

thanks

[river oracle]

<plugin-folder>/<plugin-name>/config.yml

server owners can actually change the plugin folder iirc so that could deviate from plugins

[lilac dagger]

did spigot disable loading jars at runtime?

[stiff sonnet]

eh nobody likes server owners anyway

[stiff sonnet]

well thanks!

[river oracle]

oh also 🤓 if you're on windows its actually <plugin-folder\<plugin-name>\config.yml

[stiff sonnet]

java shouldn't care about that

and even if it did, I don't care if it doesn't run on windows haha

if you're running a server on windows you're not allowed near a computer

[river oracle]

wow what a savage

[remote swallow]

i run windows 7 home pro on all my servers

[stiff sonnet]

at least windows 7 but still I will end you one day

[remote swallow]

i was joking

i use ubuntu for servers

would you prefer i use arch

[stiff sonnet]

I love how they put ads into the terminal

[stiff sonnet]

I run arch on my server, and it just about works becaues I'm using docker for everything haha

[remote swallow]

ubuntu server, how crazy do you think i am

[lilac dagger]

nvm, i'm dumb, wrong path

[stiff sonnet]

ugh do I need to add anything to my maven config to make it include the config.yml into the jar? I created the file and it's not adding it

[remote swallow]

where is it

[stiff sonnet]

right next to plugin.yml

[remote swallow]

run a clean package

[stiff sonnet]

still nothing

huh now it worked

had to clean it again

oh well, thanks a bunch

[twin venture]

anyone good With Annonation can tell me if this is possible?
maybe do @LoadCustomUser(UserClass.class)?

[stiff sonnet]

https://www.baeldung.com/java-custom-annotation

[twin venture]

simple yes or no xD can be good :p

idk if what iam trying to do is even possible

[stiff sonnet]

I haven't worked with annotations yet, just hoped it'd help you. I might need to work on some though because manually configuring config files is ugly and annoying

[twin venture]

yeah i had to make my own config lib ...

i can help you with that if you need help 🙂

[river oracle]

annotations by themselves do nothing its up to you to process them with reflection

[twin venture]

it support any primitive type

[stiff sonnet]

https://imgur.com/k9EbaRL

[twin venture]

i just don't know how to do that yet :p , that's why iam asking

if i can make a annonation then use them in the way i asked

[river oracle]

you reflect it by getting the annotation on whatever element

[twin venture]

and then run the code?

[river oracle]

yes you can do anything with annotations if your processor is good enough

[twin venture]

oh so it take some cpu usage?

should i be good with my current system or use annonation to load the other data of the user?

[river oracle]

well yeah annotations are just metadata

that aside any computation takes CPU usage

you can't compute without a CPU

[twin venture]

my current system :
it load the data when a user join

my idea was to have a annonation above this 2 classes

so i can load the user data :p

[stiff sonnet]

real coders load configs on the main thread

[river oracle]

that just seems like a horrible idea why not just load the data upon initialization

[twin venture]

i don't understand your point?

so just load them when a user join ?

[echo basalt]

because it doesn't scale?

[river oracle]

how will an annotation help you here?

[river oracle]

I'm just confused how an annotation helps here, sure loading everything doesn't scale but what are the annotations goal then

seems like a hack in part to something that could just be designed better

[twin venture]

iam just seeing all options , not sticking to only one of loading

[river oracle]

you can actually do this though, you'd have to consider if you'd want a preprocessor, this writes bytecode at compile time to transform those annotations into code or on startup a reflective scan all fields of every class in your class loader which then has some of registration process

what you have to consider is, is it even worth it or is it an over-engineered mess in my opinion it will become the latter

[twin venture]

yeah thanks , i will not consider make this , it seems complicated and waste of resources of cpu ..

I am trying to implement a multi module gradle system, and currently I am running the build script, and then in my gradle.settings I include each of the modules, which each have a shadow jar task which is tasks.build.dependsOn(shadowJar). The finished jar is 1 kb and has nothing in it, and it compiles a bunch of individual jars for each of the modules. How do I make one that is all of them combined?

build.gradle = https://paste.helpch.at/raw/wefataxuja

[kind hatch]

If it's similar to the maven multi module system, then you need to create a module that has all of the other modules.

[echo basalt]

compileOnly != implementation

You need to make a dependencies block in your root module with all the modules as sub projects

[river oracle]

its better than the maven system imho. you can do much more with it

[echo basalt]

dependencies {
  implementation project(":api")
  ...
}

So shadowjar can go over and shade everything

[twilit wharf]

Ah, that makes sense

[echo basalt]

I also wouldn't shade lombok

[stiff sonnet]

does anyone know if you can just get a list of all items in a specific category with the yaml config handler? Currently I have to maintain two lists, which I can get with "getStringList", because I can't figure out how to just get all keys in a category, and that's ugly

e.g.

foo:
  bar: a
  baz: b
  cruz: c

and then get everything inside foo

[echo basalt]

foo is a section with 3 strings

[stiff sonnet]

so I just getStringList?

[kind hatch]

That's not a string list

[echo basalt]

ConfigurationSection fooSection = config.getConfigurationSection("foo");

for(String key : fooSection.getKeys(false)) {
  String value = fooSection.getString(key);
}

[twilit wharf]

Does spigot by itself include it?

[kind hatch]

You'd have to iterate over the section using #getConfigurationSection.getKeys(false)

[stiff sonnet]

getKeys, taht's what I've been searching for, thanks!

[echo basalt]

No, it's mostly compiler-level, you shouldn't shade it

[kind hatch]

A string list in yaml is as follows.

section: "String"
section2:
  - "This is a list"
  - "of strings that"
  - "can be grabbed using"
  - "#getStringList()"

[stiff sonnet]

yes

[twin venture]

am i doing it correctly?

it does not seem to work

when my server starts completly my server logging stops

[echo basalt]

I'd really recommend making a codec

[echo basalt]

Maybe it isn't a good idea to do IO on the main thread

[robust pebble]

ye

where should I do it instead?

[echo basalt]

Make a new thread or use an executor

[robust pebble]

?executor

[echo basalt]

There's no guide for that, this is core java

[robust pebble]

my b

Executor executor = anExecutor;
executor.execute(new RunnableTask1()); so id put this instead?

nvm this exists.runTaskAsynchronously

[sand spire]

Is there a simple way to delay execution of the next line(s) until after a void method returns or ends without changing the parameters?

I can do it by returning a boolean and just putting the method in an ifstatement and execute the code for true and false, or put a Runnable in the parameters but I kinda don't want to change the parameters or the return type, is this possible?

method() -> {

        });```

or does java already go through the entire method until it goes to the next line unless it's async

i'm tripping

[young knoll]

Sounds like futures

[sand spire]

guess i was tripping https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19644054/how-does-java-read-code

I was confused cause sometimes it didn't wait for the method above to complete but that was just when creating threads 💀

[acoustic pendant]

a

those are the id and ids printed
why is giving error when trying to remove id from ids?

[echo basalt]

Show error

[acoustic pendant]

yea mb

[young knoll]

Isn't that going to try and remove index 2

Which is out of bounds for a list with size 2

[acoustic pendant]

oh

Is it only possible to use remove for its index?

if the object is a number

or could i parse it to string?

[young knoll]

No idea how it works in that case tbh

[acoustic pendant]

I tried using set but i need to grab a value from it so didn't work

[young knoll]

You probably need to pass it as the wrapper type

[sand spire]

Yeah i think you're right

[acoustic pendant]

he is

[pseudo hazel]

some languages or frameworks have an erase method that takes in an object and removes the first occurrence from the list

[sand spire]

then ids.remove(id-1);

or is id not an index but a key that should stay the same

[acoustic pendant]

i don't want to remove like that, as it could be in an order i wouldn't want

[pseudo hazel]

oh wait i see the issue

[young knoll]

Java does have this

[pseudo hazel]

classic java uses overloads

[young knoll]

mhm

Hence why I said you probably need the wrapper type

[pseudo hazel]

which messes with arrays filled with ints xD

thats stupid lmao

[acoustic pendant]

uuh

[pseudo hazel]

you can probably try to parse it to string like you said

[sand spire]

this is the problem

[pseudo hazel]

which is effectively a wrapper of sorts

[sand spire]

your object is an integer

[acoustic pendant]

yes

[sand spire]

so you can't control which one it uses

[acoustic pendant]

i think i could parse it to string as I said

and hope it works

[pseudo hazel]

yeah java didnt think this far ahead I guess..

even though a list of ints is the like the most basic programmer example for learning arrays haha

[acoustic pendant]

I mean, that would work

[sand spire]

yeah

[acoustic pendant]

let me try

Yeah, think it did

but had other error so let me fix it xd

[proven musk]

what are the ways to make a gui

theres actionbar

the sidebar??

the bossbar?

are there other options

/ways to render items

[sand spire]

Inventories (like a large chest)

[proven musk]

oh right

Ig I mean during gameplay

and i assume u can't show that while the player is in control

[kind hatch]

Scoreboard
Toast notifications
Titles

Display Entities if you want to get fancy

[sand spire]

So you want text, items or entities to show while you can still move?

or which one

[proven musk]

im pretty sure its not super possible but yeah

[proven musk]

so thats what im trying rn but I cant get it to look right

it doesn't move with the camera bob

[kind hatch]

Camera bob is unfortunately a client side thing.

[proven musk]

yeah

im just trying to understand all my options

basically I want the player to be able to see the last 3 foods they've eaten

[young knoll]

Resource pack allowed?

[sand spire]

🥩

[kind hatch]

Shader magic to the rescue

[proven musk]

yes

[young knoll]

I was just thinking action bar and fonts

[proven musk]

idk much about shaders

[sand spire]

You could have an invisible armorstand holding the food/having it on their head. But that's probably similar to display entities

[proven musk]

yep

[kind hatch]

Might as well just use the display entities.

They are really just an improved armorstand.

[proven musk]

im totally down to do shaders i just dk how it works

ive done it before in hlsl

[worthy yarrow]

Tbf I think it's either a pack or display entities @proven musk

[proven musk]

a pack?

[kind hatch]

resourcepack

[worthy yarrow]

I think you could achieve that with a resource pack if I'm not mistaken

[proven musk]

how

[young knoll]

Display entities would also be an option

[worthy yarrow]

And a fun one at that

[proven musk]

they aren't unless u can fix display bob

and lighting

what are the capabilities of shaders

[kind hatch]

Isn't lightning handled automatically for those things?

[young knoll]

Yes

[kind hatch]

Pretty much infinite as long as you can write it

[proven musk]

how do they work

[young knoll]

You can get text displays to work resonably well, idk about the other ones

[proven musk]

and what would the best way to do it for this method

[blazing ocean]

learning them is the hardest part

[proven musk]

can I have a shader that renders a specific item display but makes sure the verteices are locked to the camera view?

[kind hatch]

True 😮‍💨

[proven musk]

if its anything like hlsl I could probably handle it

[young knoll]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/694661573125472256/1216844761554489465/2024-03-11_16-26-22.mp4?ex=6626c7ff&is=661452ff&hm=460c2f28a5aa709c802b8c0ac4e4309c1cb1ba8529e78cebf9eeb62fae023284&

[proven musk]

ive written shaders before for games

[kind hatch]

I'm still wondering how that works to this day.

[proven musk]

they aren't walking around tho

thats how it works

[young knoll]

Text display on the player with a super high Z offset

[remote swallow]

no maid skin?

[kind hatch]

It also sticks to their screen when the move right?

[young knoll]

mhm

[kind hatch]

So it is passengers?

[young knoll]

But view bobbing does make it look a bit weird

[young knoll]

yes

[proven musk]

ok wait

ur so right

[kind hatch]

Hmm, I wonder why we couldn't remove them for that one person who had a similar issue a while back.

[proven musk]

if I can get it to render on top of everything else it work work...

[kind hatch]

How do you set the offset?

[worthy yarrow]

Is bobbing a packet that can be manipulated?

[young knoll]

translation

[kind hatch]

I need to mess around with them some more.
So much potential with them.

[proven musk]

ok if I can fix the layering with shaders then bazinga

we got it

[sand spire]

damn that looks cool

[young knoll]

text displays have a thing for that

idk if item ones do

[proven musk]

item displays dont on their own I dont think

but again shaders might do it

idk anything about them tho

does anybody have knowledge or resources

[young knoll]

https://github.com/McTsts/Minecraft-Shaders-Wiki
https://github.com/McTsts/mc-core-shaders

[orchid trout]

hows it so smooth

is it teleported every tick?

[proven musk]

its really far away

and a passaenger

[young knoll]

It's a passenger

[proven musk]

thats how im doing it

[orchid trout]

ok

[proven musk]

I get u could make it smoother with core shaders tho

[young knoll]

Fonts in the action bar would be smoother

But, you have to take over the action bar

[proven musk]

yeah but then id have to manually add each item

right

[young knoll]

yes

[proven musk]

also yeah I want to use the action bar for other things

[sand spire]

is that why it turns dark when looking at water? cause the text is underwater

[proven musk]

mhm

it would look worse on land

since text displays dont looks the same even if they show through blocks

[kind hatch]

Yea, text has that property, but I don't know about display entities.

[young knoll]

sadly only text display has the see through option

[sand spire]

What issue does placing it that far solve? cause now you get the layering issues

[kind hatch]

Now, you could maybe do some shader stuff with the gui elements.

Like, render a character that translates to an image sprite of the item you want

[young knoll]

Makes it follow the camera better

[kind hatch]

Oooo

[sand spire]

ah

[kind hatch]

You could maybe send a title packet and offset it to the right value

[young knoll]

If you place it closer it shifts around the screen

Yes but now you've taken up the title slot

[sand spire]

thanks i'll remember it if I ever need to use this

[proven musk]

ok so

[kind hatch]

Titles can be manipulated easily though

[proven musk]

does anybody here actually know how to use shaders

[kind hatch]

If needed by something else, let it, then return to the normal state.

Another weird possibility is manipulating the subtitle gui box

[young knoll]

But then your icons disapear

[kind hatch]

This does require the user to enable subtitles though

[proven musk]

because im confused

[kind hatch]

Hmmm, another out of the box idea.

What about manipulating the elder guardian effect?

[proven musk]

I think we are going off the rails ere

all I need to do now is figure out how to modify the rendering of the item display

[tawdry echo]

its good to use TreeSet to create list of top players?

[proven musk]

but idk enough about mc shaders to know where to even start

idk how id write a shader that changes JUST the item display

i cant even figure out what shader renders them

[lost matrix]

Depends a bit on your use case and how the stats are stored in general.
Usually there is little usage for a TreeSet when your data is queried externally.

[proven musk]

ohhh

is there a way to know whether im rendering an itemdisplay

or am i kinda screwed

[young knoll]

no idea

There is very little documentation on core shaders

[worthy yarrow]

I've heard that manipulation of shaders can be a messy process so have fun!

[proven musk]

there must be somebody who knows about this stuff

[lost matrix]

If you have GLSL knowledge then its not too bad. Otherwise it takes quite a while to learn.

[proven musk]

I do

[worthy yarrow]

I'm not sure there are a lot of people here who mess with shaders, I mean I feel like most at this point would rather just make a pack

[proven musk]

just not minecraft resource packs

[proven musk]

shaders are a pack

[worthy yarrow]

I just kinda realized what you were doing

[lost matrix]

https://github.com/McTsts/Minecraft-Shaders-Wiki/blob/main/Basics.md

[worthy yarrow]

I thought you were hard coding manipulations to the shaders kek

[lost matrix]

This repo helps

[worthy yarrow]

I think you'll have fun with this project, it already looks pretty cool

[proven musk]

i think i found something that might help

[worthy yarrow]

https://tenor.com/view/go-for-it-you-can-do-it-encourage-do-it-gif-14006408

[proven musk]

ok

so I made every entity pitch black except the one I wanted to change

which actually might be good news

[proven musk]

tyty

[worthy yarrow]

So is the point only to show the last three food items you ate?

[proven musk]

no its like

im recreating a mod which is recreating the valheim food system

where u have food slots

and each different food fills up a slot and gives you bonuses

[worthy yarrow]

so like when you eat "hearty bread" it gives you health and food or something of the sort

I've never played valheim so I wouldn't really know haha

[lost matrix]

I would probably wait for 1.20.5 with that. Custom food will be much easier then.

[worthy yarrow]

What's going to make it easier?

[proven musk]

its already pretty easy

[lost matrix]

You can set any ItemStack to have any nutritional value, and you can make them consumable even when you are full.
Any ItemStack can have a custom stack size up to 99. Can have custom durability up to 2 billion, and much more.
All ItemStacks will be composed of components.

[proven musk]

instead of filling a hunger bar each food item gives you a bit more max hp for a certain amount of time

[lost matrix]

Myeah, but you wont be able to have the vanilla eating animation.

[shadow night]

That sounds amazing

[proven musk]

why not

[lost matrix]

Well unless you fix the hunger bar to a certain value.

[proven musk]

sounds pretty easy to do that ngl

[lost matrix]

You cant consume food if you are full otherwise.

[worthy yarrow]

Ah that's awesome, custom items are gonna be blowing up haha

[sand spire]

Hey @lost matrix, I needed a remove method in the WeightedMap (so i can use it for rewards without giving the same reward twice)
I modified the class, does this look good? https://pastes.dev/8eNrFPho6U

[lost matrix]

Sure, if you are willing to just throw away the hunger bar and system, then its easy.

[proven musk]

thats exactly what im doing

im doing a new system

but even if I wasn't it would be easy right

just manually edit the food bar

[worthy yarrow]

imo smile is right to wait for 1.20.5, in case you might want to rewrite optimizations... plus it seems 1.20.5 is gonna have a lotta cool stuff for itemstacks

[lost matrix]

Nope, removing elements like this will mess up the RangeMap and throw an exception

[proven musk]

it seems good for datapacks

but plugins u can already do most of the stuff

I already did custom durability

[lost matrix]

True custom durability is currently impossible

[proven musk]

wdym

[worthy yarrow]

I mean you don't have to, but it just becomes a lot easier next update

[sand spire]

oh, is there a way to remove elements without messing it up, or should I just create a new RangeMap without the element want to remove every time?

[lost matrix]

You have to smack a durability system on the ItemStack and hope that the player doesnt look too close at the vanilla value.

[proven musk]

thats true

alot of things break if the player turns on advanced tooltips

[lost matrix]

With this implementation you need to recalculate the entire RangeMap

[sand spire]

Alright ty

[twilit wharf]

What am I missing?

[sand spire]

If my calculation for getting the weight is correct this should work right?
https://pastes.dev/8Okz81ifVB

[acoustic pendant]

is there any way to detect right click without an item in hand? (in the air) I believe it doesn't send packets so it's impossible but i don't know
do someone know?

[twilit wharf]

It would still call

Cause if a person has an empty hand and right clicks a chest

[acoustic pendant]

it isn't working for me

[twilit wharf]

it would still open the chest

[lost matrix]

I would just use a Map<T, Integer> and simply create a new instance of RangeMap

[acoustic pendant]

yea but in the air

[river oracle]

No

[sand spire]

you could add an invisible armorstand for the event

[acoustic pendant]

uh

like just spawn it at the same loc the player is?

[river oracle]

That wouldn't scale you'd need an armor stand following each player the entire time they're on

[acoustic pendant]

I could just do it when the event is fired

ig

[river oracle]

The event won't be fired though

The client doesn't send a packet

[acoustic pendant]

true lmao

so is it just not possible?

I mean, i wouldn't make an armor stand follow the player

[river oracle]

You just can't do what you want basically and there isn't much you can do about it without it being hacky

[sand spire]

ah smart, and I think rangeMap = TreeRangeMap.create(); creates a new instance

[dire osprey]

Could you do Left click?

[acoustic pendant]

I mean yea, but i wanted right

[dire osprey]

I think it works with Left

[acoustic pendant]

it does, but that wasn't the point xd

[vast ledge]

At what number does a collection size start?

[twilit wharf]

0

when there is nothing in it

[vast ledge]

Okay

[charred blaze]

}, 60L, 20L * 60 * plugin.getConfig().getLong("koth-timer"));

why is this runtasktimer spamming?

koth-timer is 0.2

[vast ledge]

20 x 60 = 1200 x 0.2 = 240

== Sending message every 1.04 seconds

or smth like that

smth with 1second

That answer your question?

oh shit

i just failed basic math

Then its every 10.4 seconds

[slender elbow]

0.2 as long is just 0

[vast ledge]

Doesnt long have floating ends?

[slender elbow]

no

it's just an integer value

[slender elbow]

source?

[vast ledge]

google

[slender elbow]

that is not a source

where is Google taking it from

and does it refer to java?

because I'm sure it doesn't

(I know it doesn't)

you'd have to get the value as a double/float, multiply, and then cast the result to a long

[vast ledge]

I specifically searched for java

if not, google has failed me once again

[slender elbow]

open up the website it's taking it from and read the article

[vast ledge]

And

google has failed me

[slender elbow]

I'm sure it'll say

[vast ledge]

he could also just take a float afaik?

but 0.2 is still like 10.4s delay

Which i dont think is what he wants to achieve

[slender elbow]

I mean it'll be a fifth of a minute, but that isn't spamming

using a period of 0 will use a period of 1 (tick), and that will be spamming lmao

[vast ledge]

True

But i think he dissolved into air in the past few minutes

[slender elbow]

true

[proven musk]

im still so confused what shader renders itemdisplays

[orchid trout]

this is in a class that extends Command. the usage message doesnt print even though it exists and the method returns false

[twin venture]

So i decided to use nms , and refliction to spawn entites , and it does work kind of .. my problem now :

• it does not remove the old ones , so this case it keep spawning on top of each other for the player ..
• how would i rotate it? using packets and nms
  it keep spawning ..

now its super dark

[lost matrix]

1. Spawn it only once
2. You can change its metadata with the matadata packet and its rotation with the location-and-position packet

[twin venture]

oky 🙂

this seems to fix it :
i add the entity id , after i spawn it

not sure if its the best way , but it works for now

[lost matrix]

You are spawning the entity to every single player on the server. No matter if they are near the entity, near the chunk, or even in the same world.
Is that wanted?

[twin venture]

no ofc ..

now its only for testing ..

[lost matrix]

If you have a temporary setup, then program against an interface you can easily swap out later on without having to write a bunch of
internal changes. "Its just for now" mentality will always lead to patchy code with a bunch of temporary pieces that turn out to be quite permanent later on.
Unless this is a completely clean testing plugin. In which case "just for testing" is fine.

[twin venture]

good point ..

[glacial moth]

Hey, I'm trying to create something, I want to summon a boat with an armour stand riding it, which is fine. But is there anyway to lock the rotation of the armour stand so it is always facing the same direction as the boat. I know I can set rot when summoning, but I'd like it to stay.

[lost matrix]

An ArmorStand shouldnt randomly move, right? doesnt it have the same direction of the boat on default?

[glacial moth]

no it just spins

[twin venture]

is this what do you mean?

or is there a better way to check it?

[lost matrix]

Nope, this will only send the entity if the player is directly inside the same chunk as the entity. That will look really bad.

[twin venture]

oh i see , so what i need to do then?

[lost matrix]

Set the AI of the ArmorStand to false.

[glacial moth]

ohhh didn't think of that

[lost matrix]

Track which chunk is sent to which player using a packet listener.
Then when the entity spawns, send the packet to all players which can currently see this chunk.
When a player gets send this chunk, send your custom entity as well.
When a player gets sent a chunk unload packet, unload the entity for this player as well.

[glacial moth]

I don't think the armour stand has a no ai option, but will try a different entity

[twin venture]

so the entity will be on diffrent islands , its not a whole world , its 12 island or less big island , its only 1 world [small one] ..

do i still need to implement this?

[lost matrix]

Yes

[twin venture]

for example :

[lost matrix]

Unless all players see all islands at all times

[twin venture]

idk do they?

[lost matrix]

Which would be a weird server concept

[twin venture]

idk really ..

i need to use plib for the packetListener correct?

[lost matrix]

You can also inject your own listener into the netty pipeline. Thats up to you.

[proven musk]

if anybody knows anything about core shaders, how would you isolate a specific itemdisplay? or an item in the inventory?

[sand spire]

When creating a new instance of an object, does it save the entire class to memory, or only the relevant parts (aka the instance + constructor).

The reason I'm asking is cause I want to know if I'll have worse performance if I put methods inside an object class (of which multiple instances are created) instead of in a manager class (which only has one instance)

[proven musk]

also how do I get the depth

[proven musk]

pretty sure in java it doesn't create new methods for each object

since then youd be able to change them per object

[tall dragon]

yea methods are stored once. its the entire reason methods exist

so you don't have to write / save the same code twice

[sand spire]

Alright thanks 👍

[twilit wharf]

how do I also remap the nms modules? In their build.gradle I am saying task.shadowJar.finalizedBy(remap) which in the console outputs that it successfully remapped, but then when I run the plugin it isnt. What am I missing?

[echo basalt]

Great question

Pretty sure you do that on the submodules

[ivory sleet]

eh I mean

u have a virtual lookup table

cuz like polymorphism

which is why object oriented languages generally tend to be slower when it comes to method invocation

but thats for instance methods

static methods are fast since they compile down to invokestatic

and then u have functional interfaces which are fast also since they compile down to invokedynamic, altho they technically are just (abstract) instance methods

[worldly ingot]

You're severely overoptimizing at this point

Don't micromanage your memory to this degree

[sand spire]

oh

[ivory sleet]

unless u have some insane functional requirements to abide by, listen to Choco

[sand spire]

yeah I'm just asking cause I don't know what has micro or meso impact

[ivory sleet]

yeah java has it figured out

[worldly ingot]

If you're not noticing any performance issues, you probably don't have anything to fix

[sand spire]

I'm probably not even optimizing in the things that have major impact on performance cause I simply don't know

[ivory sleet]

thats fair

I mean if you're new to this entire programming thingy, the first thing that you will likely come across as less performant is gonna be database calls and reading and writing files

that is, noticeable performance impact sources

[sand spire]

yeah I was told to do those async so that's what I do

[slender elbow]

generally speaking, don't bother or care with that stuff, write code that works first, then if you notice a performance hit, profile, and optimise based on your profile results

[sand spire]

👍

[slender elbow]

unless it's a blatantly obvious thing, like, idk, reading a 2gb file on the server thread and calculating the checksum for whatever god forsaken reason

[sand spire]

xd

[worldly ingot]

Weird you mention that, Emily. I just finished implementing that into Hypixel today

I was like "Hmmm, we could optimize the ban list by just reading in the whole database on server load"

And then of course I linearly iterate through the list of player names to ensure that the person joining isn't banned

but I'm not stupid. I don't want to have a memory leak. That would be disasterous

So I hashed and salted the usernames

[slender elbow]

100x developer right here

[young knoll]

Can’t believe he’s leaking hypixel’s system

[worldly ingot]

Oh well it's still a work in progress so

[sand spire]

sounds like something I would do 💀

[worldly ingot]

Once I PR it, then it's NDA

So shhh don't tell anybody

I don't want to have a memory leak ... So I hashed and salted the usernames
Also come on, I thought this was hilarious D:

[slender elbow]

i can give you a pat on the back

[worldly ingot]

ty

I appreciate it

[sand spire]

reading and cashing the entire database onEnable isn't gonna be a problem right 😅 unless ofcourse I am hypixel

[worldly ingot]

Eh it'll be fine. That's for someone else to figure out

[young knoll]

Just store it in redis

[worldly ingot]

Smart

[proven musk]

god

if I was smarter I could totally make a custom gui but I cannot wrap my head around shaders

its just so hard with so little information

[worldly ingot]

No shaders required. Just some hacky abuse of inventory titles and custom textures

[young knoll]

ShaderLabs discord server might be able to help

[sand spire]

There's no way you're the first person that's trying to use displayentities to display text without it getting weird behind blocks, there's probably a solution somewhere in this discord or on spigotmc.org

[proven musk]

I tried so hard to look

[proven musk]

idk if I have the time for that either

[young knoll]

Much easier to learn at least

[proven musk]

wdym inventory titles

[young knoll]

You add custom characters to the inventory title to change the texture of the inventory

[sand spire]

When you say GUI people think you are talking about inventories, not floating food items

[proven musk]

fair

hud

is what I mean

[young knoll]

It does make me tempted to make a new version of spout

But keep it nice and simple

[vague oracle]

Anyone know why i could be getting a "cannot access net.minecraft.EnumChatFormat" when using net.minecraft.ChatFormatting

[proven musk]

ok this is way easier to do with the action bar

ill just have to copy every food item into a custom character

[young knoll]

And then 1.20.5 comes out and any item can be food

Kek

[flint coyote]

I love eating diamonds

very crunchy

[glad prawn]

even air? 🤔

[muted otter]

How do I add multiple scores to an objective at once?

[proven musk]

why do you need to do it at once

like on the same tick?

just use multiple lines of code right

[young knoll]

Air isn’t a real item

[proven musk]

how would I add libraries in intellj

https://github.com/andrei1058/SidebarLib/releases

specifically this one

[proven musk]

thanks!

I missed that lol

[proven musk]

what would I put in the version-here

I tried 1.20.4 but thats not it

[tranquil badger]

... the lib version

[proven musk]

idk wh

yes

duh

idk what that is

ive never used maven before

like 24.2?

nope

[tranquil badger]

yes

[proven musk]

doesn't work

[tranquil badger]

means you did smth else wrong

[proven musk]

I probably did

[tranquil badger]

where are you putting this

[proven musk]

in my pom.xml

[tranquil badger]

you already added the repo?

and access it properly

[proven musk]

I added the repo section

wdtym access it properly

[tranquil badger]

looks fine to me

[proven musk]

:/

[muted otter]

what does a team do in a scoreboard?

[proven musk]

teams are kinda seperate to scoreboards ngl

[muted otter]

oh ok

Score score = objective.getScore("" + i);

if i have this line of code, will i have to replicate it 15 times to have 15 custom lines on the scoreboard? that doesn't seem like a good solution. is there any method to add multiple?

[lament tree]

for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
    Score score = objective.getScore("" + i);

simple for loop

[muted otter]

what if i wanted to have different text though?

[lament tree]

hmm

[tranquil badger]

A list i suppose

Although you'd need to have different lines regardless

Well kinda

[muted otter]

so there's no good way to do it?

[proven musk]

i mean

ur lookin at the good ways to do it

[muted otter]

alr lol

[proven musk]

but yeah if you want to do 15 different lines of code then ur gonna have to have 15 different lines of code

if u told us more about what ur trying to do with 15 different lines that would help

ur trying to get the score of... what?

[muted otter]

I am trying to create a scoreboard builder, and a scoreboard can render a maximum of 15 lines on the client
But I am not sure on how I can set each line of the scoreboard provided when building it to the content

[proven musk]

youd want a list of lines then

and a for loop

how familiar with programming are you

[muted otter]

            List<Score> scores = new ArrayList<>();
            for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
                scores.add(objective.getScore(""));
            }

like this?

[proven musk]

yep

why are you getting the scores tho

[muted otter]

don't you have to get the scores to put the text underneath the objective title thing?

like you could do

Score score = objective.getScore(ChatColor.WHITE + "asdasd");

[proven musk]

i would assume u set the score

but honestly ive never messed around with scoreboards

[vast raven]

In terms of efficiency, checking a 2 blocks pattern based where player is between in a playermoveevent would be lighter to implement using just a first check on the player if it has moved on a new block and then checking the pattern, or adding a middle condition to check for a per player cooldown and then checking the pattern

I mean overhead a 2 blocks pattern check isn't that bad

[sullen marlin]

What's the cool down?

I think the first check is a good optimisation

[ionic thicket]

creating an empty EntityEquipment?

[ionic thicket]

EntityEquipment e = null; ?

[drowsy helm]

thats not how java works

what are you trying to achieve i believe its not meant to be instantiated

[ionic thicket]

i am trying to create an empty equipment that gets filled by random stuff inside a method

[drowsy helm]

?xy

[undone axle]

https://xyproblem.info/

[drowsy helm]

what are you trying to achieve overall

like why do you want an empty one

[ionic thicket]

because i am creating an entity creating a class. before creating that class i do not have any entity from which i can access the inventory

so i want to assign that entity's equipment in the entity's class constructor

[drowsy helm]

Theres no way to set EntityEquipment anyway, you can only get it

through LivingEntity

can you not explicity define the equipment items

[ionic thicket]

what do you mean?

i have first to create the entity, then i need to get it and then i need to give him the equipment?

all in the class constructor?

[drowsy helm]

Like even if you did have an empty EntityEquipment class, you can't apply it to the entity.
In your constructor can you not just pass the Items explicity for each slot

or a wrapper for it

[ionic thicket]

i could. let me try

[dawn flower]

sup

just came here to ask abt something in scoreboards and found someone having a problem with scoreboards

[inner mulch]

is there a way to implement noclip, with the api?

[dawn flower]

ANYWAYS, how tf do i set a below name objective without the number

[inner mulch]

you cant

[dawn flower]

you can

everyone makes it

[inner mulch]

ok then show me

[dawn flower]

i cant send images

[inner mulch]

they most likely create their own nametags

[inner mulch]

sure

oh

i thought you said "can"

[dawn flower]

check dms

[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

[dawn flower]

i verified

i didnt get the role

[inner mulch]

yes they created their own nametah system

[vast raven]

Just a map or a set of player uuid to keep a trace of the last check was done on that player and if it happened recently it skips it

[inner mulch]

scoreboards are not the way

[dawn flower]

how do i make a nametag system

[inner mulch]

armorstands on the players head

[dawn flower]

what if u have like 23482438 ping

it'll look off

[vast raven]

I mean just checking if a player stepped on a new block is nice but I'm trying to get further since the server feels it

[inner mulch]

no

[dawn flower]

yes

[inner mulch]

bro you never did this so why are you telling me whats possible?

[dawn flower]

wait im dumb, i want it to show only if ur afk

[inner mulch]

player.addpassenger = NO Lag

add the armorstands as passenger

[dawn flower]

no flippin way, i didnt know that!!

i want it BELOW the name

not ABOVE

[inner mulch]

i will not spoonfeed

this is what neede to create everything you want

i did it too

[dawn flower]

i aint asking for u to spoonfeed me, im just asking if theres a way to do it without passengers cuz passengers are above name

[inner mulch]

have you thought about just disabling the nametag and replacing it with armorstands?

[dawn flower]

armorstands cant have 2 line names

[inner mulch]

btw textdisplays can be used too unless you want to support bedrock

[inner mulch]

bro

then use 2?

[dawn flower]

bro

passengers cant be below, once again

[inner mulch]

you know what if you dont want to listen or try i will not help you anymore i can send you a screenshot of my nametags if you want

[dawn flower]

please do

(they will look off)

[inner mulch]

ok

gimme a second

[smoky anchor]

@dawn flower what version do you support
is it 1.20.3+ ?

[inner mulch]

why tf cant i tab out with lightshot

[dawn flower]

1.20.4

[smoky anchor]

Take a look at scoreboard changes in
https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_23w46a

[smoky anchor]

API should support this somehow

[inner mulch]

what was changed?

[smoky anchor]

Read the changelog

what

[inner mulch]

so change player name?

or what was changed

[smoky anchor]

ok, for the lazy

[inner mulch]

but where is the part with below name nametag stuff

[smoky anchor]

Number format

it can disable the number

[dawn flower]

/scoreboard objectives setdisplay belowName afk-tag

for whatever reason 'belowName' isn't a valid display slot even tho i used minecraft's official tab completion for belowName

[smoky anchor]

minecraft's official tab completion
sounds funny

[inner mulch]

just create your own nametag system, as you can see it works with armor stands

[dawn flower]

if they already made a way to do it why would i do that

[smoky anchor]

Don't over-engineer something when you don't have to

[inner mulch]

with a nametag system you can later to cool stuff

like add more to it

[smoky anchor]

below_name, not belowName

[molten hearth]

        Timeline timeline = new Timeline(new KeyFrame(Duration.millis(60), event -> {
            if (currentTime <= END_TIME) {
                double[] point = LinePoint.getUpdatedPoint(currentTime);
                XYChart.Data<Number, Number> dataPoint = new XYChart.Data<>(point[0], point[1]);
                series.getData().add(dataPoint);

                // Set the color of the data point
                String color = "#ff0000";
                if(dataPoint.getNode() != null) {
                    dataPoint.getNode().setStyle("-fx-background-color: " + color + "; -fx-background-radius: 5px;");
                } else {
                    System.out.println("null"); // why is this shi always null
                }

                currentTime += DELTA_T;
            }
        }));```

do you guys know why the node is always null? 😭 im using a LineChart with javafx

[dawn flower]

how do i use numberformat

/scoreboard objectives modify afk-tag numberformat blank doesnt work

[smoky anchor]

?notworking

[undone axle]

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

[dawn flower]

it just doesnt work

it doesnt remove the zero

no errors

[smoky anchor]

gimme a sec

[dawn flower]

can i use packets

[smoky anchor]

Don't jump to packets bru

[dawn flower]

oka

[smoky anchor]

/scoreboard objectives add test dummy
/scoreboard objectives modify test numberformat blank
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay below_name test
/scoreboard objectives modify test displayname {"text":"Hello World"}

try this on spigot server
if it doesn't work, try it on a fresh spigot server
if it still doesn't work, make a bug report

[dawn flower]

doesnt work

i'm on paper

(paper support sucks so im here)

[eternal oxide]

We are not paper

[dawn flower]

their support sucks doe

[eternal oxide]

?fork

[undone axle]

SpigotMC maintains the Spigot server. If you are using a fork of Spigot (such as Paper, Airplane, Purpur, or other derivative works), you should seek support in the appropriate Discord servers.

[smoky anchor]

If you want good support here, use spigot :)

[dawn flower]

paper is faster doe

[eternal oxide]

in some situations it is

[smoky anchor]

Just gonna confirm one thing, you did do the exact same commands and used second account to look at a player, right ?
You can't see the nametag thing if you use F5.

[dawn flower]

yes

[smoky anchor]

Try spigot, if it doesn't work there, make a bug report at the appropriate place

[torn shuttle]

anyone know if there's a hack for making several resource pack textures for armor without only using the helmet trick?

maybe with leather armor or something?

[smoky anchor]

1. what is the helmet trick
2. Fancy Pants (gimme a sec for link)

https://github.com/Godlander/lessfancypants
It has not been updated in a bit, not sure how well it works in latest versions

[torn shuttle]

so someone figured out how to do it with shaders then

hm

I might just have to use optifine

[smoky anchor]

If you don't care about supporting vanilla, you could probably just make custom trims

and make one armor completely transparent and change it with trims

[lost matrix]

Yes, using core shaders

[torn shuttle]

I really don't know if I would rather use shaders or optifine here

[smoky anchor]

it's between a resourcepack which server can automatically apply
or a mod the player has to manually download
I would go with RP

[lost matrix]

optifine requires the player to have it installed, core shaders always work

[torn shuttle]

yeah but core shaders might interfere with other shaders and they come with a client-side overhead

[lost matrix]

https://github.com/Ancientkingg/fancyPants?tab=readme-ov-file
Here. This has already written all the shaders. All you need to do is go in your texture file and add more armor textures downwards.
This shader then shifts the texture by an index. Its explained in the readme.

[smoky anchor]

I already sent fancypants here :(
why u ignoring me smile 😢

[torn shuttle]

there's also the other thing which is long-term support, sure hope mc didn't change how these work for 1.20+...

[rigid shoal]

hello how do i added yaml comments inline like this in code:

Settings
  AllowTP: true #set to true of you allow players to teleport to their death position

[lost matrix]

didnt see, woops

[lost matrix]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/configuration/ConfigurationSection.html#setInlineComments(java.lang.String,java.util.List)

[torn shuttle]

oh wait

so core shaders actually specifically don't work with optifine?

[lost matrix]

🤨

[torn shuttle]

says so on the page you linked

so I have to pick either something that works on optifine or something that works on everything else as well on top of the rest

[smoky anchor]

since optifine breaks all sorts of things, I am not surprised

[smoky anchor]

trims don't work for you ?

[torn shuttle]

never looked at trims, does that require losing one of the base game armors?

[smoky anchor]

it adds texture on top of existing armor

[torn shuttle]

so you lose layer2

what is it capped by, how many armor trims there are or something?

[smoky anchor]

you can create your own trims
