[rough ibex]

anyway

show your pom

[buoyant viper]

LMAOOOOOOOOOO

i dont know HOW but i am going to use the term "uniboob" in a sentence one day

[rough ibex]

hm

is the project JRE set for 21

[real ridge]

I think so

[buoyant viper]

maybe specialsource doesnt support 21 yet?

doesnt sound right tho

i almost feel like this plugin can be de-NMS'd

intellij wtf do u mean 😭

how do u know the dependency but refuse to say its there

1.20.6 ?!?!!

oh it like bugged out or something bc i ran it for 1.20.5 but 1.20.6 is the actual vers i guess

suddenly realizing im too stupid for nms

the bare minimum should be running --remapped and then adding the spigot dependency right?!

[echo saddle]

how do i get rid of that annoying chat toast in the upper right everytime i load the client?

[buoyant viper]

oh, my GUI code is just fucked and doesnt add the --remapped flag when i select it

forgot to add the code for ALL of these 💀

[echo saddle]

egads

so, this new component stuff is a bloody nightmare

for example, if you create an itemstack with various flags and lore and such, then give it to a player and then read the itemstack back and try to compare to the original it fails

it fails because default values are not in the actual item as far as I can tell

[buoyant viper]

@real ridge is it required that the Gender enum needs the Component and SoundEvent code?

(ive been de-NMSing/rewriting the gender plugin for the last hour)

a PR is almost ready except for the Gender enum

[plucky rock]

does any1 know how you would go about getting the server's local time

[echo saddle]

just need to get the system time in java, right?

[quaint mantle]

“Why gender is enum?!!??!?”

[native nexus]

ikr there are only two

[plucky rock]

yea

i got it

[plucky rock]

regarding this

[quaint mantle]

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Calendar.html ?

[quaint mantle]

🤫🧏🏻

[echo saddle]

Well, i'm stumped. If I create an ItemStack with various flags, and then give that ItemStack to a player, then read that ItemStack back and compare to the original, they will not match

Or at least that's what I think is going on

[quaint mantle]

What are you trying to achieve?

You could do data containers

[sullen marlin]

Are you using the API? If so, open a bug report with a clear reproduction of the issue

[echo saddle]

Just updating an economy plugin that has custom currency items that are created from information in a config file, then giving them to a user, then when they are read back for deposit, they don't match

This is what I'm seeing...

item ItemStack{DEAD_BUSH x 1, UNSPECIFIC_META:{meta-type=UNSPECIFIC, display-name={"text":"","extra":[{"text":"Gold Coin","obfuscated":false,"italic":false,"underlined":false,"strikethrough":false,"color":"yellow","bold":false}]}, lore=[{"text":"","extra":[{"text":"This is worth ","obfuscated":false,"italic":false,"underlined":false,"strikethrough":false,"color":"white","bold":false},{"text":"100x ","obfuscated":false,"italic":false,"underlined":false,"strikethrough":false,"color":"yellow","bold":false},{"text":"the base currency","obfuscated":false,"italic":false,"underlined":false,"strikethrough":false,"color":"white","bold":false}]}, {"text":"","extra":[{"text":"Earn more coins from jobs, quests or trading!","obfuscated":false,"italic":false,"underlined":false,"strikethrough":false,"color":"blue","bold":false}]}], custom-model-data=4, enchants={DURABILITY=10, KNOCKBACK=0}, ItemFlags=[HIDE_ENCHANTS, HIDE_ATTRIBUTES, HIDE_UNBREAKABLE, HIDE_DESTROYS, HIDE_PLACED_ON, HIDE_ADDITIONAL_TOOLTIP]}}: ItemStack{DEAD_BUSH x 1, UNSPECIFIC_META:{meta-type=UNSPECIFIC, display-name={"text":"","extra":[{"text":"Gold Coin","obfuscated":false,"italic":false,"underlined":false,"strikethrough":false,"color":"yellow","bold":false}]}, lore=[{"text":"","extra":[{"text":"This is worth ","obfuscated":false,"italic":false,"underlined":false,"strikethrough":false,"color":"white","bold":false},{"text":"100x ","obfuscated":false,"italic":false,"underlined":false,"strikethrough":false,"color":"yellow","bold":false},{"text":"the base currency","obfuscated":false,"italic":false,"underlined":false,"strikethrough":false,"color":"white","bold":false}]}, {"text":"","extra":[{"text":"Earn more coins from jobs, quests or trading!","obfuscated":false,"italic":false,"underlined":false,"strikethrough":false,"color":"blue","bold":false}]}], custom-model-data=4, enchants={DURABILITY=10, KNOCKBACK=0}, ItemFlags=[HIDE_ENCHANTS, HIDE_ATTRIBUTES, HIDE_UNBREAKABLE, HIDE_DESTROYS, HIDE_PLACED_ON, HIDE_ADDITIONAL_TOOLTIP]}}```

At the bottom, getting all the additional flags that are default I think

so they don't match

not even with isSimilar

Is my presumption correct that the changes are just the default flags?

maybe someone else can confirm.

[quaint mantle]

Flags are different ig

[echo saddle]

my understanding is that defaults are different

SlicedLime said something about it in the video, I'll have to go watch it again

[quaint mantle]

Just use persistent data container for ez fix

[echo saddle]

well, I could just make a custom serialized id and place it in the itemstack pdc and then check for that to determine if it is a matching currency to allow to deposit...

but itemstack matching not working worries me more

[quaint mantle]

Yup

[sullen marlin]

Defaults shouldn't appear in item meta. Create a reproducer and open a bug report please

[echo saddle]

I guess we can't assume anymore that an item's itemstack will not be changed from when it is created.

I will look into it, time permitting, got to sleep soon and work tomorrow

also getting some weird behavior with minecraft:lore and minecraft:custom_name showing up under components under block_entity_data. Not sure if that's my code just failing on this new release or what.

[plucky rock]

is there anything bad in having the same uuid when creating diffrent attribute modifiers?

i havent noticed anything bad but i just want to verify

[buoyant viper]

when working directly with Netty, does it need to be shaded?

should be a no, right? since the it should be in the classpath when running the server?

abt to have a fairly big PR if this works @real ridge

yeeee

made a PR @real ridge, https://github.com/dbrighthd/gendermodspigot/pull/1 :3c

[nova notch]

there really is a mod for everything huh

[quaint mantle]

Make player breedable

[gilded forge]

Dependency hasnt updated?

Could not resolve all files for configuration ':compileClasspath'.
Could not find org.spigotmc1.20.6-R0.1-SNAPSHOT.

[dawn flower]

how would i create a fake entity for a player and make the player ride that fake entity without being able to dismount

[remote swallow]

tits mod?!?!

[remote swallow]

make sure uve ran bt

[gilded forge]

I can run with spigot 1.20.5

but spigot 1.20.6 is not

[remote swallow]

it should be out on bt

one sec

[gilded forge]

ty

[remote swallow]

check your using java 21 for bt, 1.20.6 should be available for it

[tender shard]

from my experience, that's a common issue in 1.20.5

however you should use PDC to detect custom items

instead of just checking equals(...)

[cobalt peak]

Someone have or know how to do a plugin that recreate the maze of minecraft 1.21 and the wind chard??

If you know pls mention me 😄

[mellow edge]

does anyone know what the 2. parameter (boolean) does?

thanks

[polar forge]

Hey Guys

[dawn flower]

PacketContainer packet = manager.createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.SPAWN_ENTITY);
packet.getModifier().write(0, entityId)
  .write(1, UUID.randomUUID())
  .write(2, bukkitEntityType.getTypeId())
  .write(3, location.getX())
  .write(4, location.getY())
  .write(5, location.getZ())
  .write(6, location.getPitch())

  .write(8, location.getYaw())
  .write(9, null)
  .write(10, 0)
  .write(11, 0)
  .write(12, 0);```
this aint no work

[jagged bobcat]

Umm..? Context?

[dawn flower]

should be self explanatory

im trying to spawn a fake entity to the player

[jagged bobcat]

Try sending the packet

[dawn flower]

i sent it

nothing happened

[polar forge]

So I was making a ban plugin, and I wanted to store every ban in a yml file, with banner and reason for the ban. It must work even if the player is offline (bans them anyway). I also added that if a player sends the command /banreason <player> it gets the reason out of that yml file. But I’m getting some problems with this yml file I can’t make it work nor generate it in a folder with the bans. Can anyone please look at my code? Thanks guys. https://paste.md-5.net/yajedumapi.java

[dawn flower]

btw dont kick the player on join, use join results

[drowsy helm]

use UUID

[dawn flower]

and use uuid like buoobuoo said

[polar forge]

Instead of target?

Or what

[dawn flower]

and is that 2 plugins inside 1 plugin

[drowsy helm]

lol didnt even see that

[polar forge]

It’s technically 1

[drowsy helm]

use uuid instead of target.getName()

no it's not

[dawn flower]

no its 2 lmfao

[drowsy helm]

you're using 2 JavaPlugins, which is incorrect

BanPlugin class should just be standalone command handler

no point in it being a JavaPlugin

[dawn flower]

you should implement CommandExecutor for commands not javaplugin

why does javaplugin even have onCommand

[polar forge]

Which one

[dawn flower]

make BanPlugin implement CommandExecutor not extend JavaPlugin

[polar forge]

I get some errors

[ivory gale]

And register your PlayerJoin listener on the onEnable() method, not on his own constructor (or at least call it somewhere)

[dawn flower]

what errors?

[polar forge]

Method does not override method from its superclass

[dawn flower]

remove onEnable and onDisable

wait im confused

did you make Permissions class the main class rather than the actual main class

[polar forge]

No BanPlugon was the original main class

[drowsy helm]

        getCommand("banplayer").setExecutor(new BanPlugin(this));
        getCommand("banreason").setExecutor(new BanPlugin(this));```

[dawn flower]

that looks like a command to me

[dawn flower]

BanPlugin is the main class for some reason, it cant be instantiated

[drowsy helm]

you're only ever supposed to have 1 instance of JavaPlugin

[polar forge]

Ive followed a tutorial online

[drowsy helm]

from who

they needa be fired

[polar forge]

From someone on yt

[drowsy helm]

your PErmissions class should be your main class

[polar forge]

But, guys, I now made Permissions the main class

[dawn flower]

    private Permissions plugin;
    public BanPlugin(Permissions plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }```
this doesnt look like BanPlugin is the main class

[ivory gale]

wtf

[polar forge]

What should I do now

[dawn flower]

also ur using bukkit's banning system

which is already tracked

you need to implement ur own banning system

[polar forge]

How?

[dawn flower]

its abit complicated for temporary bans

but for perm bans just make a set

[polar forge]

Yea my server uses only perma bans

So it’s not an issue

[dawn flower]

private Set<UUID> permBanned = new HashSet<>();

public void onLogin(PlayerLoginEvent e) {
  if (permBanned.contains(e.getPlayer().getUniqueId())) {
    e.setKickMessage("&cYou're perm banned!");
    e.setResult(PlayerLoginEvent.Result.KICK_OTHER);
  }
}```

something like this should work

for temporary bans u have to either make a task that countdowns every second (laggy and doesn't countdown when the server is offline) or either store the time the ban will be gone and subtract the current time with that and if the output is 0 or lower then that guy should be unbanned

[polar forge]

Should I just delete all the code I wrote and replace it with this?

[dawn flower]

not all the code, some code can be used like the ones in the command but you should replace the ban system with that

and to ban someone you do permBanned.add(target.getUniqueId());

and to unban u just do the opposite by doing remove

[polar forge]

What should I remove? I’m sorry if I’m asking too much but I really can’t resolve it

[dawn flower]

private Map<UUID, Long> tempBanned = new HashMap<>();

public void onLogin(PlayerLoginEvent e) {
  if (tempBanned.containsKey(e.getPlayer().getUniqueId())) {
    long difference = tempBanned.get(e.getPlayer().getUniqueId()) - System.currentTimeMillis()
    if (difference > 0) {
      e.setKickMessage("&cYou're temp banned for " + difference + " milliseconds!");
      e.setResult(PlayerLoginEvent.Result.KICK_OTHER);
    }
  }
}```
this is how a tempban would work

[dawn flower]

im cleaning ur code, give me a sec

yeah i cant clean the code, its too messy

you're prob gonna have to rewrite it with a proper tutorial

look at plugins like advancedbans' source code to get an idea of how you're going to do it

[dawn flower]

also

[polar forge]

True

Too messy

I’ll rewrite it

[dawn flower]

how do i make a player ride a fake entity

that was if he didnt want temp bans

[polar forge]

Im only making it perma, no temp bans

I started over 😭

[dawn flower]

how do i spawn a entity with a saddle through protocollib

[dawn flower]

                    14
            );
        }
        return metadata.getWatchableObjects();
    }


packet = manager.createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.ENTITY_METADATA);
            packet.getWatchableCollectionModifier().write(0, saddledMetadata(bukkitEntityType));
            for (Player player : players) {
                manager.sendServerPacket(player, packet);
            }```

Hello! Anyone has any idea if there is a way to inject a custom DataFixer into the internal code?

[dawn flower]

i don't think it's possible without modifying spigot

[ivory sleet]

spigot api does not provide api for that, but I reckon reflecting it may work sufficiently

[wise rock]

Schema schema = DataFixers.getDataFixer().getSchema(DataFixUtils.makeKey(SharedConstants.getCurrentVersion().getDataVersion().getVersion()));
TaggedChoice.TaggedChoiceType<?> choice = schema.findChoiceType(References.ITEM_STACK);

This is my current code, no idea how to go further

[sullen marlin]

?xy

[undone axle]

https://xyproblem.info/

[dawn flower]

what slot is the saddle for horse is?

[sullen marlin]

can't you just .setSaddle ?

[dawn flower]

it's for a fake horse using protocollib

[sullen marlin]

you can do per-player entities using Entity#setVisibleByDefault and Player#showEntity

[dawn flower]

no like, i want the entity to not exist server-side as well

so if the server suddenly crashes these entities dont just exist

[sullen marlin]

add Entity#setPersistent(false) then

[dawn flower]

oh

that kills the entity on restarts?

[quaint mantle]

No

They are just not serialized on stop

[dawn flower]

doesnt that do the same thing..

[ivory sleet]

@wise rock well I think for starters u prob wna reflect into DFU right? and add ur fixed to the globalList and fixerVersions

you may also want to "recompute" the rules map

(maybe there is a more sophisticated way to deal w it but yea)

[eternal oxide]

not the same

[dawn flower]

either way the entity wont exist when the server restarts

[quaint mantle]

Why serialize an entity that you will kill on start???

[dawn flower]

anyways is there a method to make the entity die when the player leave as well without listeners?

[sullen marlin]

yes

Entity#setPersistent(false)

[dawn flower]

?

[sullen marlin]

that's the method

?jd-s

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot

[dawn flower]

i want to link the entity with a player so when that player leaves the entity dies

[sullen marlin]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Entity.html#setPersistent(boolean)

[eternal oxide]

if it doesn;t persist its never saved, so anythign that causes the chunk to unload results in teh entity going poof.

[quaint mantle]

Linked how?

[dawn flower]

idk

[sullen marlin]

PlayerQuitEvent -> entity.remove()

[quaint mantle]

Linked to all players or per player?

[dawn flower]

per player

[quaint mantle]

Use a Map

[dawn flower]

last question, if the chunk isn't loaded and the player leaves then the entity doesn't poof away, is there a way to fix that?

also sorry if i'm annoying

[sullen marlin]

Entity#setPersistent(false)

[dawn flower]

oh wait im dumb

[eternal oxide]

viewing players not in range = entity goes poof

[quaint mantle]

PlayerQuitEvent, get the entry of the player and remove the entity, then remove the entry on the map

If you want the entity to be removed when the chunk unloads, just setPersistent(false) (I think this is how persistent works)

[dawn flower]

aight

[real ridge]

thank you! Will check when I have time! I didnt realize that you would make an entire PR lol

[buoyant viper]

honestly, neither did i, i just ended up getting way too deep into an idea

[wise rock]

I used to write a custom NBT tag "itemsadder" into the root of the ItemStacks.
I want to move the "itemsadder" tag into the "custom_data" since now the root NBT doesn't exists anymore in items.
To do so I had the idea to code a custom DataFixer to let the game handle that, because I doubt there is any other way to intercept items loading and fix that data.

Surely this is not available in the API

[wise rock]

let me check, interesting, thanks

[eternal oxide]

Why ae you not just using the PDC?

[slender elbow]

doesn't minecraft already translate foreign tags into the custom_data component? 🤔

that's like, the whole point of it

[wise rock]

nvm, seems Minecraft is already doing that under the hood, I will have to test: ItemStackComponentizationFix

[slender elbow]

yep

[wise rock]

i thought that it would strip them out

good news then, thanks a ton

[dawn flower]

Entity#setPersistent(false) doesn't kill the entity if the chunk is unloaded

[slender elbow]

if the chunk is unloaded, so is the entity

unless you mean when the chunk is unloaded

it isn't killed, no, just removed

see EntityRemoveEvent and its Cause

[dawn flower]

so there isnt a way to kill the entity when the chunk is unloaded?

[sullen marlin]

What do you mean kill

[dawn flower]

poof the entity

[sullen marlin]

An entity with setPersistent false will never come back

So yes, it go "poof"

[dawn flower]

it comes back for me

im not talking abt server restarts, the entity is gone when the server restarts but if i leave (the chunk unloads) and i try to do Entity#remove, it doesn't remove it and setPersistent(false) doest delete it

[slender elbow]

when are you doing setPersistent(false)?

[dawn flower]

when spawning

oh wait

i got it to work!!11

[dawn flower]

how would i cancel VehicleMoveEvent without whatever the damn this is happening

[eternal oxide]

That jerky is just the client predicting the movement and being reset by the server

[dawn flower]

can i make the horse not go inside

i dont want the player turning into a horse

[eternal oxide]

probably disconnect the player from the horse and read steerage packets for it

[dawn flower]

ok

[dawn flower]

what if i just teleport the vehicle to the past location..

[dawn flower]

oh wait u cant cuz it dismounts u, rip

[coarse spade]

Does anyone know how to make text copy-able in chat by clikcing it?

[dawn flower]

whats a good way to teleport an entity with its passengers?

[tired star]

im doing this pvp damage tracker plugin, but im having problems with registering potion damage. everything else seems to work but i cant seem to get the potion thrower's UUID. I need for my calculations. here are some methods I've tried https://paste.md-5.net/aluyegaxoh.java

it always goes to the else part that I left there just for my debugging reasons

can anyone help with this?

[valid burrow]

tp both of them back

[dawn flower]

u cant tp a passenger nor a vehicle

[valid burrow]

yea u can? 😭 its just an entity

[dawn flower]

u cant 💀

u can call the method but it does nothing

[shadow night]

You can't teleport entities with passengers iirc

[dawn flower]

aka a vehicle

[valid burrow]

disbound him then tp

and remount

[dawn flower]

the thing is im stopping players from dismounting, ur supposed to be stuck on it.. FOREVER

i can kill the entity then respawn antoher one

[valid burrow]

so? Theres million workarounds how you can make your code ignore the dismount for that fraction of time

[dawn flower]

like?

[valid burrow]

like u could give the player some data and on dismount check if they have that data and then ignore

[dawn flower]

good point

[valid burrow]

or you could cache the player in a list and ignore cached players

[dawn flower]

or make a set of uuids to ignore

[valid burrow]

or or or

[valid burrow]

yh thats caching

[dawn flower]

yeah ik

[valid burrow]

but why uuids?

just use the player object

uuids require way more resources

[dawn flower]

so it doesnt fuck up if the player leaves in that same tick

somehow

[valid burrow]

u can just use a try catch

[dawn flower]

genius

[valid burrow]

using uuids is way slower as you need to convert it

also

offline player object exists

[dawn flower]

👏

[valid burrow]

which u can cast to online player as soon as u need it

[dawn flower]

i wouldnt even need online player object?

[valid burrow]

.

u can do offlinePlayer.getPlayer

will return null if they are offline

iirc

or throw exception

i was hesitant with try catch too when i started with spigot but

after a year

i realized they are actually very useful

[dawn flower]

#bot-commands

[mighty gazelle]

how I can get the lang from the player that joins the server?

[dawn flower]

the what?

[valid burrow]

u cant

[shadow night]

Wasn't there a way to get their locale

[valid burrow]

he means language i assume

[valid burrow]

yeah but thats not language

[dawn flower]

that is?

[valid burrow]

and the way to get their local is ip

[valid burrow]

someone can have a vpn or live in a country which’s language they dont speak

[shadow night]

I think they do mean their in-game language

[valid burrow]

there is no way to retrieve what language someone set in their client

[valid burrow]

yh that’s impossible

[shadow night]

Hmm

Still sounds like they want to know the locale

[valid burrow]

well as i said that can be retrieved through IP

[shadow night]

What about

[grizzled mason]

That always return "en_US" 😦

[shadow night]

Oof

[valid burrow]

„the value of the local string is not defined properly“

[grim hound]

https://proxycheck.io/

[slender elbow]

en_us or en_ca are most certainly locales that represent languages

en being the language, us/ca being the localization of it

it's called locale because it's localized

unless you're telling me de_de isn't german

i'd be shocked

[acoustic pendant]

Should i make my own way of pasting schematics or just use world edit?

[young knoll]

Up to you

One requires NMS

[acoustic pendant]

pasting schematics requires nms?

[young knoll]

Parsing them does

[acoustic pendant]

oh

[young knoll]

Well, you could use something like JNBT but you'd still need NMS to handle block entities

[acoustic pendant]

then world edit is probably the way i guess

[lilac vector]

i'm prolly overestimating the performance impact but like how negligable is smth like this
(pseudocode)

fn cacl_level(total_exp: int, levels: List<int>) -> int {
  for (index, level_req) in levels {
    if total_exp < level_rew {
      return index;
    }
  }
}```
running for every player every 10ish ticks (not in the same tick)

levels is relatively small about 1000 max

[inner mulch]

It depends on the amount of players, what r u trying to do maybe there is a cleaner solution?

[lilac vector]

store the player's exp in terms of it's total

and then calculate the level on demand

that's the cleanest solution, the next step is to add caching

[inner mulch]

Just store it when it changes?

No need to store every 10 ticks

[blazing ocean]

you can't; you can, however use a resourcepack with translation files and use translatable components in your plugin

[chrome beacon]

Actually you can

The client does provide that info

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#getLocale()

[blazing ocean]

.

[chrome beacon]

it returns what the client language is set to

and it does work fine

[blazing ocean]

🤷‍♂️

[slender elbow]

it works fine if you have the client properly configured in your client lol

it will also work as long as you aren't using a shitty client that doesn't send that info

something something badlion

it certainly works with the vanilla client if you change your locale

[warm mica]

You probably have to relog if you change it

[novel meteor]

Can anyone help me figure out how to get the worldguard API, I have tried to follow the docs for it but can't get it to work

[slender elbow]

no, the client sends it again

[warm mica]

You should explain what "can't get it to work" means

[slender elbow]

unless you're using a shitty client that isn't vanilla :D but that isn't a Minecraft issue, that's a shitty client issue

[novel meteor]

Oh, sorry, Well I cant get it to find it at all, it just seems unable to find the dependency im not sure if im missed anything

I know the bukkit dependency doesn't work either, because I can't seem to find the correct version of it for 1.20.4 which is the mc version im on, but the worldguard only seems to show up when the bukkit dependency is there, even though it cant find the bukkit version correctly

[warm mica]

If you use intellij, a small blue maven icon on the top right should appear in your pom.xml. Click on jt

[river oracle]

You need to send your pom if you want help with deps

?paste

[novel meteor]

https://paste.md-5.net/ucigojemik.xml
I've removed it for now since it wasnt working, but I am trying to add worldguard

[novel meteor]

I have pressed the maven reload button it still wont show up as a valid dependency

I restarted my IDE, and now the actual thing for worldguard shows up but not the correct version even though ive double checked on the worldguard site and this is the version to use for 1.20.4

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

[river oracle]

Ignoring the fact your java version is unsatisfactory for spigot 1.20.4 looks fine

Se3ms like intellij being weird

Try compiling from the command line with maven

If it works it's intellij invalidate your caches

[grizzled mason]

I just tested, idk why I was convinced Player#getLocale return alwas "en_US" but it work perfectly

[novel meteor]

What do I need to change to resolve this then? Sorry I am like very new to doing plugin development

[faint swift]

When sending a lot of packets should I use a runTaskLaterAsynchronously, to ensure that the client receives packets one at time?

Some people in forum told that they were getting kicked out of the server without a runTaskLaterAsync, so the packet would be send after some time

[toxic galleon]

Hello, i am trying to get into plugin development with spigot and wanted to get the .jar-file by building it with the build tool (.exe) but ran into a missing dependency error with maven. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[chrome beacon]

looks like it cached a failure to download a dependency

Normally you'd use the -U flag to force it to check again

but it might be a bit trickier with BuildTools

You can delete the cached org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin from your local .m2 repo

[toxic galleon]

sorry, I don't really know a lot about maven. Wher can I find this .m2 repo?

[quaint mantle]

C:\Users%username%

[toxic galleon]

shoul I just delete that and run again?

[quaint mantle]

Sure

[toxic galleon]

it seems to have worked this time. I passed the section that didn't work. Thank you very much!

[polar forge]

Hey guys

Just a question, they told me to use getUniqueId to ban players instead of using target and players

How would I do that?

I want to ban online and offline players

Doesn’t matter

[quaint mantle]

?

[polar forge]

Maybe lemme rephrase it with more context

I’m making a ban plugin, and those banned players must be stored in a .txt file where if I want to check, I could just do /banreason and get the reason for the ban, or do /isplayerbanned and see if the player is effectively banned. So I started over writing the plugin I already made bc it was too messy

They told me to use getUniqueId instead of Player player = blah blah blah

How would I do it?

[quaint mantle]

Wait, that's wrong

[polar forge]

Why?

[quaint mantle]

Give me a minute

[grim hound]

does anyone here know how to use ByteBuddy?

[chrome beacon]

?ask

[undone axle]

If you have a question, please just ask it. Don't look for staff or topic experts. Don't ask to ask or ask if people are awake or available. Just ask the question to the channel straight out, and wait patiently for a reply. Make sure you use the right channel regarding the topic of your question. Create a thread in case the channel is already in use!

[grim hound]

I asked the question

[chrome beacon]

Most likely

This discord has 14k members

[quaint mantle]

        Player playerlol = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]);
        playerlol.getUniqueId();```

I'm guessing this could work

Pretty new to this myself

[polar forge]

No need for a for statement right?

[grim hound]

the error and code

[chrome beacon]

Well here's the actual question

[grim hound]

oh

I might be using the class loader

I think I see it now

[quaint mantle]

Not really but I think it will throw an nullpointerexception if the player is offline

[grim hound]

don't know how to solve it exactly tho, let's see

[polar forge]

How do I prevent this?

[quaint mantle]

Player playerlol = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]);
if (playerlol != null) {
    UUID playerUUID = playerlol.getUniqueId();
} else {
// Player is offline
}```

 Player playerlol = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]);
        if(playerlol != null) {
            playerlol.getUniqueId();
        } else {
            //
        }```
This should work

[polar forge]

I’ll write the code now, if I understood correctly

[quaint mantle]

What exactly are you trying to do?

Could we discuss about this in DMs?

[polar forge]

Sure

[toxic galleon]

@quaint mantle do you know the cause of this error and how to fix it?

[quaint mantle]

Give me a minute, I'll be with you

[quaint mantle]

Did you try deleting the .m2 folder?

[toxic galleon]

I did and it solved the first error I sent, but then this popped up

[lilac vector]

is the player PDC decent enough for data storage?

Or should I prefer to opt for custom db

[eternal oxide]

depends on the data

[lilac vector]

Hm?

[eternal oxide]

It depends on what data you want to store and when you need to access it.

[lilac vector]

well the data is stuff like custom player statistics and level etc

i'd onyl need ot access it when the player joins the serber

[eternal oxide]

level and statistics already exist. You are creating more?

[lilac vector]

yh

it's for custom stuff

like keeping track of custom mob kills

[eternal oxide]

then so long as you don;t need it when they are offline, PDC is fine

[lilac vector]

you can't read pdc when the player is off?

[eternal oxide]

no

[lilac vector]

oh shoot

ic

[toxic galleon]

I forgot to delete the other files that were generated with the wrong .m2 rep but after doing that and running it again, the whole thing worked.

[shadow night]

You technically can

[eternal oxide]

You could also turn MC into a space simulator, technically.

[shadow night]

Yeah lol

Good idea, I'll write it down

[orchid hinge]

when getting something from config is the second argument the default?

[icy beacon]

Yes, generally

[orchid hinge]

alright

[icy beacon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/configuration/MemorySection.html#getInt(java.lang.String,int) Example method from the docs

[orchid hinge]

was just asking cuz the names arent exactly explenatory

[echo basalt]

get(String path, Object default)

[grim hound]

Does anyone know what signature I could use?

it's ByteBuddy for context

[astral jackal]

Why can't I increase the render distance when I have the paper spigot engine installed? I tried to do it in server propeties, but it doesn't work, and when I change it in the spigot files, after restarting the server, the low render distance setting returns.

[remote swallow]

stop the server, modify settings then start

[shadow night]

PaperSpigot hasn't been a thing for ages

[astral jackal]

but when I restart the server, all the settings I changed return to their initial state and I have a small render distance again

[valid burrow]

dont change the settings while its running

change them while its stopped

but also yh

[astral jackal]

it doesnt help

[valid burrow]

dont use paper spigot

[astral jackal]

but i want plugins

[valid burrow]

then use paper OR spigot

not paper spigot

PaperSpigot is outdated and was never good in the first place

[remote swallow]

paper spigot is paper mc

[valid burrow]

paper spigot got updated to papermc

[remote swallow]

no it literally is

[valid burrow]

they changed their name

to papermc

they arent called paper spigot no more

[remote swallow]

yeah but people knew them from 2012 so still use the oldname

[valid burrow]

people used paper in 2012

tragic

[quiet ice]

PaperSpigot is 1.8 paper, afterwards it's just papermc

[valid burrow]

thank you for saying the same thing a third time

[quiet ice]

Well it's still the correct name to referr to 1.8 paper if you need to

[grim hound]

what the fuck

is up with bytebuddy

I've tested every single syntax

and this mfo still says "nah"

[quiet ice]

ByteBuddys strength is its Javaagent

[grim hound]

None of [public static void shadow.systems.interception.AlixEventInterceptor$Interceptor.intercept(java.lang.Object[],java.lang.reflect.Method,java.lang.Object)] allows for delegation from public void net.minecraft.server.players.PlayerList.a(net.minecraft.network.NetworkManager,net.minecraft.server.level.EntityPlayer)

like the fuck you mean

[quiet ice]

Where does you plugin need to run on?

[grim hound]

?

wdym

[quiet ice]

what I'm going after is to suggest the use of ignite or similar bytecode manipulation frameworks

[slender elbow]

no, he is making a regular spigot plugin

which lmao

[grim hound]

do you know bytebuddy?

[slender elbow]

never used it

[grim hound]

mmm'

[dry hazel]

the question would be what is the xy

what are you trying to accomplish with bb

[grim hound]

intercept a method invocation

[quiet ice]

In that case, what I'd try is to generate a bog standard proxy class via ASM like (this one is for the bukkit unsafe, which is an interface, but the same would apply to all other classes) https://github.com/Geolykt/EnchantmentsPlus/blob/4xx/src/main/java/de/geolykt/enchantments_plus/compatibility/hackloader/Hackloader.java#L83-L180

The idea is that you delegate all public and protected methods to the real implementation and intercept the method you wish to intercept.
The only issue would be package-protected methods though

[grim hound]

that method is public

and I don't understand anything

in the code you just showed me

so it's not much of a help

[quiet ice]

private methods don't need to be stubbed, nor do non-public/protected fields need to be copied over (they can simply be left empty and your proxy class would be created using Unsafe's allocateInstance).

[grim hound]

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

what would you change?

[dry hazel]

like injecting code before/after a method call or straight up altering the implementation of a method?

[quiet ice]

The idea is to generate a class of following layout

class ProxyClass extends ProxiedClass {
  public ProxiedClass x;

  @Override
  public void methodA() {
    x.methodA(); 
  }

  public void interceptMethod() {
    if(!InterceptHandler.handleIntercept()) {
      x.interceptMethod();
    }
  }  
}

[grim hound]

before a call. Just intercept when it's invoked, stop the invocation, and invoke it later on when I need it

[quiet ice]

the most important bit is that you don't copy over the internal state of the object but rather forward to the object

[grim hound]

I don't know how to do that

you can spout whatever

I still have no idea how to implement that with ASM, ByteBuddy, whatever

I don't have any experience using those

and the documentation doesn't help

[quiet ice]

I'll try to write some psuedocode then

[tranquil glen]

I have a question guys

When making a field inside of a class, is it protected by default?

or is it public/private

[grim hound]

no

[quiet ice]

it's package-protected, so neither

[grim hound]

it's package-private

[tranquil glen]

yes

i thought package-private was the same as protected

what's the difference?

[grim hound]

classes that inherit

can access protected

[tranquil glen]

ohhh

[quiet ice]

Yes. package-protected means only accessible in package

[grim hound]

but only classes in the same package

can access package private

[tranquil glen]

okay, so if i were to make a new object that inherets it in a different package, it wouldn't be able to access it?

[grim hound]

so package private is less visible

[grim hound]

yes

[tranquil glen]

okay cool

thank you guys

[grim hound]

👍

[chrome beacon]

Taken from https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/access-modifiers-java/

[tranquil glen]

that's super helpful

[quiet ice]

note that nested/inner classes still have access even with private

[tranquil glen]

okay, i figured so

can i have an example of a use-case for it?

where package-private would be better suited than protected

[quiet ice]

mostly only classes where inheritance isn't a thing anyways

[tranquil glen]

okay, so i'd probably rarely ever have to think about it then

[quiet ice]

However when you talk about usecases then there are only usecases for public but none for other visibility modifiers, so be a bit careful with that train of thought

the idea is usually to go with the least access necessary

[tranquil glen]

okay, that makes sense

then just use access/modifier methods as necessary

[analog mantle]

How can i see how many downloads a spigotmc resource has?

[analog mantle]

Thanks

[nova quail]

Hello! I have made a plugin where player can spit like llama when he writes /spit. I have also made a GUI where player can choose any additional particle that will spawn with spit to create more effects. I have created SQLite Database which collects info about player's choice. But now when I choose anything in GUI it just gives error's or just choosing "hearts" particles even if I choose anything else. Can somebody help please with database. I had before all data saves in config, but when I moved to database I have this problems.

My code: https://paste.md-5.net/xocijiciyi.java

https://gist.github.com/Geolykt/9fece8145e7f7f37a4d4fcc5f6c8411c#file-gistfile1-txt-L237-L240 @grim hound is what I was thinking of. Just beware that this assumes that the proxied class has a no-args constructor but even if that is not the case you'd only need to adjust the constructor descriptor and add some dummy objects on the operand stack as needed and you should be good to go

[grim hound]

uuuuuuuuuh

[grim hound]

I've really never used ASM

[quiet ice]

I friggn love ASM. Best invention since sliced bread

[grim hound]

like I said

I have no idea how to use it

[grim hound]

https://paste.md-5.net/asasominos.java this is my code

[worthy yarrow]

Damn ASM became a concept 22 years ago...

[grim hound]

and this is the method

(in some versions they don't have the third argument, it's weird)

[grim hound]

how would you adjust it

[quiet ice]

I wouldn't know. Especiall https://paste.md-5.net/asasominos.java#L62 is a huge red flag for me.

My idea and your idea are completely different. What you are intending for is to copy the internal state of the object. While I would proper wrapping the object

[trim quest]

what is the difference between JavaPlugin#saveResource, YamlConfiguration#save

[grim hound]

I also wanted to do that

but because I don't know how I settled on this

[chrome beacon]

The first one saves any file inside the jar, the second method saves the yaml configuration

[worthy yarrow]

Could the first be applied to a yaml config? (Not that you would just curious)

[trim quest]

i have custom yml file inside of my src/main/resources folder and im trying to save it to the plugin folder but i guess i made a mistake

public File reloadFile() {

        YamlConfiguration config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
        try {
            Reader defConfigStream = new InputStreamReader(plugin.getResource("custom-heads.yml"), "UTF8");
            if (defConfigStream != null) {
                YamlConfiguration defConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(defConfigStream);
                config.setDefaults(defConfig);
                saveFile(config, file);
                return file;
            }
            plugin.getLogger().severe("Failed to reload file: "+"config reader is not defined");
            return null;
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            plugin.getLogger().severe("Failed to reload file: " + e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

    // tested
    private void saveFile(FileConfiguration fileConfig, File file) {
        if (fileConfig == null || file == null) {
            plugin.getServer().broadcast(ChatColor.RED + "Failed to save file!", "OP");
            return;
        }
        try {

        } catch (IOException e) {
            plugin.getLogger().severe("Failed to save file: " + e.getMessage());

What is the best ide for Minecraft development? IntelliJ Idea or Eclipse?

[eternal night]

a loaded question

(its IntelliJ)

[worthy yarrow]

IntelliJ, however, an ide is an ide and tbf you only need a notepad to code

[soft spire]

Okay good because that's what I'm using now

https://tenor.com/view/eclipse-solar-eclipse-sun-moon-gif-14738954

intellij is better

[soft spire]

Can eclipse gifs blind you kekw

[icy beacon]

it's SUBJECTIVE don't even start this discussion yall

[grim hound]

no

it's better

this ain't going anywhere

bye

[worthy yarrow]

Has anyone got ideas for plugins

I'm stuck

[grim hound]

magic system

epic items

custom mobs

but no levels

[grim hound]

and bosses

maybe even custom generating structures

[worthy yarrow]

I want to do something with a leveling system of sorts

[grim hound]

don't

just do skills

and like item ranks

I've been thinking about it for a long time

[worthy yarrow]

Levels are fun tho

Hmmm

[icy beacon]

do something with raids

make them fun and interesting and fun and

[worthy yarrow]

annnnnd stuff right?

[icy beacon]

and stuff and

basically make them not as boring and predictable as they are now

[worthy yarrow]

Some sort of pseudo factions system with a couple twists would be cool

[icy beacon]

i've had the idea of making a raids plugin for a while but never got my hands on it

maybe you could do something incredible with this idea

i'm talking about village raids btw just in case

[worthy yarrow]

Hmm

Well towny already has siegewar but that's pvp, in terms of village raids... what about a fallout style raid where when started, there's an underground vault where you have to go through and clear out enemies, get loot, etc... so in a way it's like a dungeons system

[icy beacon]

You can do that certainly

in my mind I had something with custom mobs, pathfinding, rewards, etc

your idea also sounds cool

[worthy yarrow]

I just know dungeons are kinda hot right now

[icy beacon]

you can build on both of these

[icy beacon]

yesss

[fringe yew]

when you use .getString() on a config file does it cache at all?

[polar forge]

How do I actually do this?

That’s my question

[eternal oxide]

OfflinePlayer#ban

[trim quest]

anyone can help me

i have issue about Spigots Configuration API

[fringe yew]

read second to last pinned msg

[polar forge]

And not getUniqueId? Bc I want also that the player must exist, and not a random name

So it must also check if it’s a real username

[eternal oxide]

if you get an offline player by UUID and they do not exist it wil;l have an empty name

well I believe it will be null not empty

[trim quest]

what you mean by cached.

[lament tree]

No

[fringe yew]

thanks

[lament tree]

getString() reads the config file

[polar forge]

So if (OfflinePlayer.getUniqueId == null) { sender.sendMessage(“Player Doesnt Exist)
}
?

[trim quest]

so

[eternal oxide]

no

an offline player will always have a UUID

[polar forge]

And what if that offline username doesn’t exist

[eternal oxide]

get an offline player by a uuid who does not exist and they will have a null name

[trim quest]

Embedded resource cannot be found error xD

[polar forge]

So like this?

[trim quest]

there is method named by saveResource on JavaPlugin but its cant read files which is located in src/main/resources

[eternal oxide]

I already told you, no

even edited its wrong

[polar forge]

I don’t get it

[trail coral]

can anyone help me with reflection?

im making a custom items plugin and all the items are in seperate classes in one big package. whenever theres a detected use of an item, i have to check if its a custom item. for that i have tk loop thru every file, get their namespacedkey variables and check if the used item matches. so idk how to loop thru the files and idek if thats the most efficient way of doing this

[tender shard]

check your custom items using PDC

which version are you on?

[eternal oxide]

Havign a class per item is not a good design

[trail coral]

yeah to do that i have to loop thru the files and get the custom items pdc see if it matches with the used item

and if it does do the thing its supposed to do

[tender shard]

you can load the list of keys into a List or Set or whatever in onEnable

[trail coral]

theyre big items like with their own descriptions, functions etc i thought that was the best way of doing that?

[eternal oxide]

put all yoru items in a Map using the NamespacedKey, then theres no looping

[trail coral]

thats too much work thats the thing isnt using reflection just more efficient?

[tender shard]

use PDC! https://blog.jeff-media.com/persistent-data-container-the-better-alternative-to-nbt-tags/

[trail coral]

i just created a CustomItem abstract class

that the classes extend

[tender shard]

that's bulllshit

[trail coral]

and loop thru all classes that extend that class

[eternal oxide]

terrible design

[tender shard]

yeah that won't work

[trail coral]

im using it already god damn

bro

whats the best design

[tender shard]

then why do you extend ItemStack?

[eternal oxide]

theres much more flexible and useable design

[trail coral]

CustomItem@is my own class

[tender shard]

simply adding a PDC tag to your custom items

[trail coral]

BRO

I GET THAT

but to know which item it is

i have to check which item PDC it matches with

[eternal oxide]

a Map

[tender shard]

you check which tag it has

[trail coral]

so thats why i need to loop thru the items and get their pdcs

[tender shard]

yes

[still ridge]

hello, what is the difference between AttributeModifier.Operation.ADD_NUMBER and AttributeModifier.Operation.ADD_SCALAR ? (and it's possible to have an explanation of AttributeModifier.Operation.MUTIPLY_SCALAR_1 ?)

[eternal oxide]

if you are checking the item they used you only have ONE item to check

[trail coral]

bro i need to loop thru all the custom item tags and check which ones match. thats why i want to loop thru the classes to get each items' tag and then do whatever

[eternal oxide]

not if they are in a Map

[tender shard]

ADD_NUMBER = 1+2 = 3
ADD_SCALAR = 1*2 = 2
Multiply_Scalar_1 = idk

[trail coral]

but thats way too much work tho

[eternal oxide]

you jut Map#get(key)

your way it crazy work and bad design

[trail coral]

so whats the best design if i dont make seperate classes for each item

then its gets clustered up

cause i have like 20 itsms

[tender shard]

PDC dude, I already told you 12 times

[trail coral]

which its own everything

[eternal oxide]

only 20?

[trail coral]

dude

[eternal oxide]

PDC

[trail coral]

are you fucking with me

im using pdc

already

[tender shard]

no

[trail coral]

god damn

i have classes

[eternal oxide]

no, you are just not listenign to anyone

[tender shard]

but apparently you're using it wrong

[trail coral]

that have the items' itemstacks

[eternal oxide]

throw them away

[trail coral]

and shit

and ehat function theyre doing

[eternal oxide]

your classes are rubbish

[trail coral]

okay so how do i sort them

cause thats the cleanest way i can think of

when i do it in 1 class the code gets flustered up

[eternal oxide]

create an item builder

[trail coral]

or clustered

[trail coral]

i tried that but i have a skill issue

thats also kind of what CUSTOMITEM class is since all items have different functions i didnt know how to make a general builder

so i made an abstract class with functions like getItem() getFunction() etc

[dawn flower]

how would i make specific players not see someone else's armor

[trail coral]

idk nms

[mortal hare]

https://youtu.be/19ae5Mq2lJE?t=314

wtf

😂

[trail coral]

how do i make an item builder @eternal oxide

[eternal oxide]

a sample ItemBuilder https://gist.github.com/mio9/743c192e926db9e2d580140753157dc5

add in a PDC tag and you are done

[dawn flower]

an item builder is really not that useful if you don't have custom items

unless u want quick items like gui items but that's usually 2 lines and mostly constants like frame which is a black stained glass pane named " "

[trail coral]

thanks 🙏

[trail coral]

i have custom items haha

[dawn flower]

ah

[dapper flower]

Does this task run every 20 seconds?

new Task().runTaskTimer(this, 0L, 20L * 20L);

or is the max i can put 20L in the period parameter

[trail coral]

no it runs every tick

[dapper flower]

i wasnt to execute smth every 20s

[dawn flower]

that does indeed run every 20 seconds

[trail coral]

oh i didnt see the * 20

[dapper flower]

ok nice

[trail coral]

is there a way to make scheduled events

[dapper flower]

ty

[trail coral]

like i want something to happen every 6PM EST on sunday

how do i make that work for example

[acoustic pendant]

Why is Bukkit.getWorlds just retarning me "world" when other worlds are created?

[eternal oxide]

Don;t use the Bukkit scheduler

[trail coral]

yeah

[dawn flower]

tasks arent the way to do that

[trail coral]

i know

but whats the correct way

[dawn flower]

actually.. you can use a task for that

[trail coral]

no because what if the server resets

[dawn flower]

a task that runs every second and checks if the current time is 6PM EST

[trail coral]

isnt that unnecessary? i thought there were better ways

[dapper flower]

can't he get the time and calculate when to run the task and then use runLater() ?

[dawn flower]

thats wayy less efficient

[trail coral]

but if the plugin resets then its fucked

[eternal oxide]

Old but still valid https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8066141/schedule-java-task-for-a-specified-time

[dapper flower]

i mean it gets calculated o nstart

[acoustic pendant]

You can do that when the server starts

so it is efficcient

[eternal oxide]

don;t rely on ticks for acurate timing

[dapper flower]

true what if tps is like 9tps

[dawn flower]

but then if the server neevr restarts for 2 days then it only triggers once

[dapper flower]

on trigger you can recalculate too

well still half assed

[dawn flower]

oto much calculations

[dapper flower]

literally 2

[dawn flower]

what if u run it for 100 years

[trail coral]

i think the stack overflow page elgar sent is cool but it needs some tweeks in thid case

[dapper flower]

why would yo uneed to run it for 100y XD

[dawn flower]

what if its a nasa server

that comuniminiucates with whatever the fuck theyre sending to space

that always gets lost

[eternal oxide]

Use the ScheduledExecutorService

[dawn flower]

what in the...

it doesnt even have a constructor?

[dawn flower]

?

wait you can do that with spigot

that's sick

[young knoll]

[dawn flower]

but how would i send that abunch of times so that if u change ur armor it doesnt fuck it up and without looping all players every second

[young knoll]

You can use the armor equip event library to detect armor changes

[dawn flower]

flippin genius

[young knoll]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/armorequipevent-for-spigot-api.545188/

[dawn flower]

wouldnt cancelling PacketType.Play.Server.ENTITY_EQUIPMENT be easier tho since i wouldnt have to do all that loops and that many event listening

[trail coral]

@eternal oxide I implemented the itembuilder, now how should i organize the seperate items? isnt it better to make classes dedicated to each item?

[eternal oxide]

no

[trail coral]

so how else

i dont mean listener classes btw

nust like if i have a poison sword a new class like poisonsword.class

and so on

but thats just the same as before i still need reflection that way

[eternal oxide]

you add a PDC tag, or set of tags to indicate what type of custom weapon it is

[trim quest]

GUYS

I FINALLY

SOLVED

[eternal oxide]

you create a key for that item

[trail coral]

yes I know. but i have to build the item somewhere right so should i build each item in its own seperate class or what

[eternal oxide]

store teh item against the key

[trail coral]

i alr use pdc

[trim quest]

solution is :

public File loadDefaultFile() {
        File file = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "custom-heads.yml");
        YamlConfiguration config = YamlConfiguration
                .loadConfiguration(new InputStreamReader(plugin.getResource("custom-heads.yml")));
        saveFile(config, file);
        return file;
    }

    // tested
    private void saveFile(FileConfiguration fileConfig, File file) {
        if (fileConfig == null || file == null) {
            plugin.getServer().broadcast(ChatColor.RED + "Failed to save file!", "OP");
            return;
        }
        try {
            fileConfig.save(file);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            plugin.getLogger().severe("Failed to save file: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }

i was understood FileConfiguration is wrong

https://bukkit.fandom.com/wiki/Configuration_API_Reference#The_Configuration_Object this helped me alot

[eternal oxide]

when someone uses an item, you pull the PDC data, fetch the item from your map and action whatever you need to action

[trail coral]

so i make 1 class where i build each item and add it to a map according to its key

and then check that whenever i need to

[eternal oxide]

yes

[trail coral]

thank you

[eternal oxide]

the key itself indicates what item it is, the data you store under that key tells you what functions the item has

[trail coral]

I dont get it so should i store a function in the hashmap with the key or

the item

[eternal oxide]

if it were me, I'd make a module system. Where each module performs a specific function. Be it poison, sweeping attacks etc

[trail coral]

would that be easier over time?

[ivory sleet]

||WHY IS THIS GOING AROUND STILL||

[eternal oxide]

much easier

[trail coral]

dude theres just one thing i dont understand

each item has its own function right

so whenever i get which item it is

i still have to perform whatever the action it is

so here do i store the code for that function

[eternal oxide]

yes, the modules do that

you create a poison module

a sweep attack module

whatever functions you want these items to have

[trail coral]

hm

can you help me with the logic for that?

like okay i get which modules that item has but then how do i perform the code for that?

[eternal oxide]

then when you pull the value stored in the PDC for that item you find what it needs to do

[trail coral]

different classes for each module and a doAction() or something in each class?

[eternal oxide]

if you stored it as a simple string like "a,b" you read it and know it has to perform a and b functions

yes

[trail coral]

so ill create a new package called modules

and create classes for each modules

[eternal oxide]

yep

[trail coral]

where ill store all the info including the actions it needs to do

and then what

i detect which modukes an item has with pdc

and then how do i get the actions

do i make a module builder for modules aswell?

[eternal oxide]

when you read the PDC string from the item, you invoke the doAction(...) method of the modules it says to use

no

one module per action

[trail coral]

i still have to use reflection if i seperate them in different classes tho

no?

[eternal oxide]

no

[trail coral]

or do i just add the classes and keys to a map

[eternal oxide]

you add them to a Map

[trail coral]

so ill keep the itembuilder

and add a module feature or whatever

so i can specify which modules it has

snd in detection

i dont check for an item

i check for modules

with pdc

and then get the method from the modules' class

and perform whatever

[eternal oxide]

yep, you get the modules from the map based upon the PDC value

[trail coral]

that makes so much more sense man

thank you

[dawn flower]

you create a class for each item type, for example "ArmorItems.class" registers all armor
i think that's the best way

[eternal oxide]

nope, too static

[trail coral]

why is static bad?

[eternal oxide]

you don;t care much about the items themselves, only what they do

[trail coral]

i still have to care about them lowkey because i need to give the items to players with commands or crafting recipes whatever it may be

[eternal oxide]

if you have 100 different actions and you create 1000 items which implement different combinations of those actions. you would have 1000 classes

if you only care about the actions, you have 100 always

it also makes it simple to move your items into a config so you can create new ones without having to distribute a new jar

[dawn flower]

wouldn't this work?

public class ArmorItems implements ItemType {
  private static void Map<String, ItemStack> armor = new HashMap<>();
  
  @Override
  public static void registerItem(String id, ItemStack item) {
    armor.put(id, item.clone());
  }
  
  @Override
  public static ItemStack getItem(String id) {
    return armor.getOrDefault(id, new ItemStack(Material.AIR));
  }
}```
(itemtype is a custom interface)

[trail coral]

elgar do i store a modules hash map of
class<?> handler, String moduleName?

[dawn flower]

or make a big ass constructor that registers all armor

[remote swallow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/997393966494392323/1197680540548075591/watermark.gif

[eternal oxide]

other way around. your key shoudl be easily stored in PDC so <String, Class<?>>

[trail coral]

okay thanks and since ill be creating new classes for each module, and i have to register it to a hashmap

[echo basalt]

why is it static

Also you can't inherit static methods

[trail coral]

to register it to a hashmap the code first has to get executed so how am i gonna execute that code

of each class

if you know what i mean

[eternal oxide]

you can store an actual instance in the map

[echo basalt]

Well

If you're creating an object you have context of it

You can register it after fully initializing

Wherever you initialize

[eternal oxide]

map.put("poison", new Poison())

[trail coral]

oh alright

thanks

[eternal oxide]

a base class of Actions, so Poison extends Actions

[trail coral]

ill try that and get back to you if i have some issues but its 1am and ill probably log off in like 40 mins lmao

[trail coral]

do i create that?

and also

im storing the hashmap in a seperate class

thats correct right?

[eternal oxide]

you cna store it anywhere thats appropriate

[trail coral]

like a ModulesList class that has the map with all the getters setters etc

[eternal oxide]

yep

[trail coral]

and also a Module class that poison extends

?

[eternal oxide]

yep

[trail coral]

what would that module class have tho, like getAction# is one whats another

[eternal oxide]

have a base class which all your Modules extend

[trail coral]

getName#

and then what lmao

[eternal oxide]

you could even make it an interface for a cleaner look

[trail coral]

but interface doesnt have like mandatory overrides right

you can choose to override something

[remote swallow]

if you add default its optional

without its not

[trail coral]

wdym

[remote swallow]

public interface wow {

    String omgwow(); // this is a required method

    String woah() default { // this is not required
        return "sus";
    }
}```

[trail coral]

oh thanks

how do i implement levels? like level 1 enchant level 2 enchant because I cant really store that in that hashmap

[eternal oxide]

that would be item specific

so thats data you store in the PDC and pass to yrou Module as required

[trail coral]

so new Poison(Integer EnchantLevel)

something like that?

[eternal oxide]

yep

[trail coral]

but what do i add to the hashmap then because i cant add an enchant level that would mean adding a new module for each level

[eternal oxide]

however you'd probably just pass the pdc data/item into the module and let teh module pull that info

[dawn flower]

how do i listen for when a player becomes visible or invisible

[eternal oxide]

In your module you do the different power depending on level

[trail coral]

okay so I created a Module interface, a ModulesList class and a poison class that implements module

now i add it to the modules list

and then do some listener stuff

i still didnt get how to do the levels but whatever lmao

i think its too late rn my brain is shut off

[tranquil glen]

whaaaat you can implement methods in interfaces??

wait

oh nvm im thinking of abstract classes

wait

idk, i have enough trouble with interface vs abstract class

[young knoll]

You can only extend one abstract class, but you can implement multiple interfaces

Also no instance variables in interfaces

[tranquil glen]

i get that, but why not just use interfaces and never use abstract classes if its that simple?

[young knoll]

Well then you can’t enforce a certain constructor for example

[tranquil glen]

(not trying to sound argumentative, just curious)

[young knoll]

Interfaces also don’t have those

[tranquil glen]

ohh okay yeah i didnt think of that

[ivory sleet]

NOOO

photoshopped

[young knoll]

I have a somewhat particular requirement
I need a random number between two bounds, both inclusive, with a specific number of decimal points

And I can’t think of a clean way to do it

[brave ice]

hello, where is situated the class concerning hit and block in spigot 1.8.8 please ? Thanks

[tranquil glen]

what is clean to you

[warm mica]

Hello, start off at the entity damage packet that gets sent near the NetworkServer class

[young knoll]

lol, preferably not doing a ton of math

Or weird stuff to truncate decimal places

[tranquil glen]

maybe something with BigDecimal and RoundingMode?

[young knoll]

Mmm, could work but creating a BigDecimal object doesn’t seem ideal

[eternal oxide]

,https://www.tutorialspoint.com/how-to-generate-a-random-biginteger-value-in-java>

[brave ice]

I have no event concerning the damages in nms

[glass raven]

hello, is it possible to edit a offline player’s inventory?

[vast ledge]

offlinePlayer#getPlayer()#getInventory()

jsut make sure the player exists before accessing that

[young knoll]

That won’t work if they aren’t online

[vast ledge]

You should still be able to access there playerdata tho

[ivory sleet]

gen the int, gen the decimal as an int and divide by amount of decimals points (base 10 ofc)

[vast ledge]

You could read the playerdata file

[ivory sleet]

If thats not too unclean

[vast ledge]

https://bukkit.org/threads/read-offline-player-inventory-and-save-it-to-bukkit-inventory.486082/

[glass raven]

how can i make the inventory update once player gets online?

[vast ledge]

You should just be able to encode your changes and write them to the file, which should update it automatically

[young knoll]

Yeah that should work

Just gotta make sure the decimal can be 0-1 instead of 0-.99999

[remote swallow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/997393966494392323/1197680540548075591/watermark.gif

[vast ledge]

Skill 💯

[young knoll]

I think I can just do nextDouble(1 + double min value)

Ah wait you said gen the decimal as an int too and then divide

Yah that’s smort

[ivory sleet]

stop

:c

[remote swallow]

i no no wanna

[brave ice]

can anyone help me please ?
