[storm crystal]

so It'd result with 49 different constants in total

[echo basalt]

Technically yes but at some point you might just want to generate them and cache them

[pseudo hazel]

doesnt mc or spigot just reuse keys if you make new ones with the same key?

[storm crystal]

like serialize and deserialize into binary?

[echo basalt]

They map to the same result yeah

[storm crystal]

I assume no since someone told me that throwing key.fromString here and there instead of just passing constant key is a flawed approach

that's why im trying to figure out a way to declare and store those keys

[pseudo hazel]

I would atleast create it with your plugin instance

new NameSpacedKey(plugin, "key")

[storm crystal]

just throw passed plugin via dependency injection?

wait if I have to use passed plugin I cant keep that class Keys static, right?

[pseudo hazel]

unless your plugin is static 😉

[storm crystal]

isnt making everything static like that not recommended at all?

[pseudo hazel]

yeah

[short plover]

is there a way to listen for when a player right clicks air or just water? PlayerInteractEvent doesn't get called when a player right clicks anything that isn't a block with an empty hand

I'm assuming the client just doesn't send anything to the server when right clicking air with an empty hand so it might not be possible

[eternal oxide]

Not possible as no packet is sent from the client

[short plover]

}
``` This code doesnt generate any cherry tree

i want to generate one per chunk

[young knoll]

Well, does the grass check pass

[tall saffron]

Let me check

I added the grass thing because without that

it generated the trees only in the water that was wierd

Let me check tho

Yep

it pass the biome check

and grass

it has problems actually generating the tree

[young knoll]

Ah wait you are generating it inside the grass block

Generate it one higher

[tall saffron]

It cant generate inside?

I added 1 to highest value

let me try

Nop

It still dont work

 package chiru.generatetest;

            //Check
            System.out.println(ChatColor.GOLD+"PLAIN CHECK PASS");
            //Get the highest point in that cordenates and add one
            Integer highestPoint = world.getHighestBlockYAt(cx,cz) + 1;
            //Check if is grass
            if(world.getBlockAt(cx,highestPoint,cz).getType() == Material.GRASS_BLOCK){

            }
        }
    }
}

This is the code

It prints every message

But the trees arent in the game

[eternal oxide]

Do not use world#get-anything in a populator. Use the chunk provided

[spice burrow]

are there docs for the new protcol changes from 1.20.2?

[mental moon]

Anyone know the correct way to add custom crafting and smithing recipes in 1.20.6?
I get packet errors on join that kick the player.

https://pastebin.com/4aB1HrMt

Code Context: the MobHead.getHeadItem is a unique never-null itemstack.
The smithing recipe is to attach an identifier onto a weapon.

[mental moon]

https://pastebin.com/QFDtwbZq

[tall saffron]

will try thanks

[worldly ingot]

Can you try making a very simple plugin that adds a smithing recipe?

And be sure you're on the latest build of Spigot as well. It's either you've found a bug in the API, or maybe you're just doing something else wrong. But if you can reproduce it with a very simple smithing recipe, then you know it has to be a bug

Oh, wait, nevermind lol. You're just inserting air into your smithing recipe

There should probably be some better validation for that in Bukkit so it throws an exception earlier

[lethal coral]

why doesn't a text opacity of -127 for text displays set the text to be see-through?

[worldly ingot]

127 might be a better value for semi transparency

But that's only going to be 50% transparent

[lethal coral]

how come you can't do 100% like you can with the background

[worldly ingot]

You should be able to. That would be 0

The text opacity is an unsigned byte, but Java doesn't have unsigned bytes. So 0 is 100% transparent, 127 is 50% transparent, -128 is 49% transparent, -1 is fully opaque

The default is -1

[lethal coral]

Middle is zero, left is 128, right is -127

[worldly ingot]

These are text displays?

[lethal coral]

yes 🙂

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/985346323152793631/1239394461151133706/2024-05-12_20-50-54.mp4?ex=6642c38a&is=6641720a&hm=298d95b2f81923cf8381d7eeacdaa4858b897cb3aa642e68aed051d30984fb23&

[worldly ingot]

Are you trying to make the text transparent? Or the background?

[lethal coral]

The faces are the text

6 text displays total

[worldly ingot]

Ah I see

Yeah, 0 should be fully transparent. Maybe you need a 1

[lethal coral]

1 did not work either PensiveCowboy

[worldly ingot]

Actually, wiki says

Similar to the background, the text rendering is discarded when it is less than 26

So maybe you need 26 or 27 😄

[lethal coral]

25 worked! 26 and 27 were almost but not quite

that's so odd

do you know why it works that way?

[worldly ingot]

I suppose they're just so transparent that they say "fuck it, you're probably not gonna see it anyways"

25 being about 10% of 255, the maximum opacity

[lethal coral]

ohhh I see

thank you so much for your help

[worldly ingot]

[spice burrow]

Is there a way to get the packet status from a BlockDamageAbortEvent? the goal is to get the status value and send a packet for that block so mining progress can be saved

[lethal coral]

I don't think so usually people use the arm animation event to keep track of that stuff

[spice burrow]

do you mind linking that to me in the docs? im new to mc plugin development so sorry if i seem ignorant, couldn't find that in the docs

[drowsy helm]

Pretty sure theres an actual event for that

[lethal coral]

Wait there IS

It's just under a different name

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerAnimationType.html

[drowsy helm]

theres the actual BlockDamageEvent but pretty sure thats one time

[lethal coral]

Yes

[drowsy helm]

listening to an animation is pretty hacky

[lethal coral]

That's what people have had to do for a while now

Though aren't you supposed to be able to change the break speed attribute in newer versions

1.20.5+? Or is that coming soon still

[spice burrow]

yea, that's what I've been trying to use, calculating time between damage/abort time, found an older spigot plugin (Better Block Breaking) that does something similar to what I'm trying to make so I decompiled it and trying to learn how it works

[drowsy helm]

If you can be bothered use a apcket listener

listen to the Block break animation packet and you can get the block damage level

there should be a block metadata one aswell

[spice burrow]

mmm ill have to get caught up on packet listeners, only packets ive ever learned to pass was a basic npc without any functionality

but ill give that a shot thx

[drowsy helm]

I have a code snippet from way back i can try and find it

[spice burrow]

That's essentially modifying packets instead of sending right?

[spice burrow]

that'd be great if you don't mind

[drowsy helm]

well more just reading it in your case yeah

no need to modify

[spice burrow]

ye makes sense for the most part, still only a few days into learning java so i've been on a struggle bus

[drowsy helm]

cant find my old code, but look into ProtocolLib. Might be a bit complex but it will be most robust

[spice burrow]

yup i just added it in my depencies actually lol, thx for the help

[wet breach]

there is two kinds of listeners, incoming and outgoing. You can also choose to send packets yourself as well. In regards to the listeners all you are doing is injecting into the network manager and you listen for whatever packets you are wanting to listen for.

[spice burrow]

got one more question for you if you don't mind, do you know where I can find docs on block break animation? seems like most stuff in minecraft has loose documentation/none at all

private void packetListener(){
    ProtocolManager manager = ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager();
    manager.addPacketListener(
            new PacketAdapter(this, PacketType.Play.Server.BLOCK_BREAK_ANIMATION) {
              @Override
              public void onPacketReceiving(PacketEvent event) {
                event.getPlayer().sendMessage("packet obtained c:");
                super.onPacketReceiving(event);
              }
            }
    );
}

i believe this should work, I'd just like to have a better idea of what BLOCK_BREAK_ANIMATION gives me

[spice burrow]

really good explanation thanks for that

[drowsy helm]

https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Set_Block_Destroy_Stage

pretty straight forward, just id pos and stage from 0-9

[sullen marlin]

There's an API method for that

[dawn flower]

how possible is it to change the camera prespective of a player

so basically move the player's camera

[royal heath]

I don't think you can do that. I believe this is client side

[dawn flower]

some servers do it tho

like replay plugins

[royal heath]

They might be moving the player itself

[dawn flower]

in some parts of hypixel they show u that ur camera is going backwards (u cant move ur head) and ur player is still there

unless there's a non straight forward way

[royal heath]

They might be moving the player itself back and cloning the player model

[dawn flower]

like spam sending movement packets to the player, that prob will work

[dawn flower]

how tf do u clone a player model..

and that would most likely cause game breaking bugs if the server crashes cuz i'd have to make the player spectator

[royal heath]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/✅-api-player-npc-✅-1-17-1-20-1.93625/
The same way this is achieved

[dawn flower]

the only idea in my head rn is faking a spectator packet to the player and spam sending a movement packet and create an npc at where the player was at their place, this makes it fully clientside and others would see the player as if they were standing still

[ivory sleet]

Yeah spectator sounds reasonable

tho u would need some sort of dummy entity u can control, but that’s fine

[royal heath]

Yeah that sounds like a good way to do it

[echo basalt]

Have we tried spectating display entities yet?

[spice burrow]

sorry i was out for food with a friend, is this just done with packet.getMeta("status")

im just a bit lost when it comes to reading the data that i get from the packet i suppose

[drowsy helm]

They want to get block damage, not set

[drowsy helm]

Im not at pc rn, can send an example in a bit

[dawn flower]

what the flip is a packet meta

[spice burrow]

idk lol

[spice burrow]

i got it figured out, for some reason it didnt click that it was the fields I was getting from the packet for some reason lol. im just a bit slow, since it's a byte it should realistically be packet.getBytes().read(0) im assuming for the field index

any can help me to make a commandlistener for my limbo server? (auto command trigger send server)

        }

        plugin.getBungeeUtils().sendPlayerToServer(player, serverName);
    }
}

[valid burrow]

cant u just use normal commands?

dont really see the reason to listen to commandpreprocess

[quaint mantle]

like what

With what? when we type "/" or the slash substring command

[valid burrow]

have you ever used the spigot api

[inner mulch]

you can implement CommandExecutor

and go into ur main class

then getCommand("commandName").setExecutor(clazz);

[valid burrow]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/creating-basic-command-functions-in-bungeecord/

here

full tutorial

for commands in bungee

u dont need a listener

infact you shouldnt use a listener for that

NEVER!

[quaint mantle]

alright

lmme try

using normal command

[inner mulch]

btw, i can recommend redis for cross server communication

then you dont need pluginmessages

[sullen marlin]

BlockDamageEvent maybe needs a percentage added to it

[drowsy helm]

Havent used it in ages so might be wrong but doesnt it on get called at the start of damaging a block?

Not continuously

[sullen marlin]

I thought it was continuous but maybe I'm wrong

Is it bad practice to use a singleton class to store references of multiple objects in a repository like manner?

For example if I have objects that are instantiated on start up from a config, would it be bad practice to put these in a list inside of a storage class, and access this storage throughout the application?

[drowsy helm]

Nah not really

Same thing as storing them in the JavaPlugin class, just modularised a lil

[royal heath]

Sounds good, thank you!

[wet breach]

one of the common applications of singletons is manager classes

where you don't want multiple instances of said classes

so you use a singleton for it

[royal heath]

Ahh okay, I wasn't too sure of the naming of these sorts of classes. I spent a long time googling wtf it was called what I was doing

[wet breach]

lol

well now you know

and also have your answer that your usage of singleton is acceptable

[royal heath]

perfect, thank you

the manager manager, the factory factory, and the registry registry

certainly, you can have a AsynchronousSocketChannelStreamFactoryFactory.BuilderProviderRegistryStrategyManagerSingleton and a AsynchronousSocketChannelStreamFactoryFactory.BuilderProviderRegistryStrategyManagerSingletonObserver

does some1 know how big servers have a robust system for all their cross server stuff? when using a messagebroker (what i think they use) how do they ensure this stuff is received on the server the player is on? or even that it is received, when the player leaves at the same moment?

[echo basalt]

Lots of locks and atomic operations

help

im on oracle ubuntu and my ssh has stopped working

when on the console I try ssh localhost it says connection timed out

[fluid cypress]

i want to save a history of transactions for each player, using a shop, /pay command, or whatever. up until now i have been using just the essentials economy. i tried to look for alternatives but apparently there is none that continues to be updated, or at least i couldnt find any (free, i mean)

so i guess ill have to implement my own economy provider. any idea how to do it? i know it has something to do with vault, but nothing else

[eternal oxide]

iConomy is maintained

Eco systems generally need no updating.

[fluid cypress]

ok but i specifically need a transaction history, does iconomy have that?

the spigot page is not very descriptive apparently

[echo basalt]

You could probably do something hacky by creating a proxy class

[fluid cypress]

and what does it mean by uuid support?

[eternal oxide]

https://github.com/iconomy5legacy/iConomy

[fluid cypress]

using uuids instead of player names i guess?

[eternal oxide]

thats a fork of the original iConomy 5 I did long ago

it says it requires towny but It doesn;t

[fluid cypress]

ok, does it have a transaction history or something?

[eternal oxide]

it has logging yes

[fluid cypress]

not sure how to do that, not really a java developer, i use other languages

[remote swallow]

it has a depend towny in plugin.yml

[fluid cypress]

ok ill try it out

[eternal oxide]

um, seems Llama added it back

I removed it when I came back

Yeah I remove the depend 4 years ago, odd how it got back in with no commit message mentioning it

[remote swallow]

it was added here https://github.com/iconomy5legacy/iConomy/commit/08c95299f1cba2a79ef51eca80d4f6abf659a6e9#diff-98201effe40eaf4a0e8826fadd6c5c9d5beaf9d737226b514f0853f44987a67f

[fluid cypress]

mm seems like I have to manually migrate from essentials to iconomy, do I?

[eternal oxide]

looks like you can;t use Ico unless you remove the depend in its plugin.yml

[fluid cypress]

im using it rn and i dont even know what towny is, so

[eternal oxide]

you sure? its got a depend so it shoudl error and not start

[fluid cypress]

yes, unless i have it installed as a dependency from something else, but its a dev server so i dont think so

[eternal oxide]

Yeah don;t use it. an Eco shoudl not be depending on Towny

[fluid cypress]

what you mean dont use it

towny or iconomy?

[eternal oxide]

um, that should be impossible

if its working for you use it, but it should not work at all

[fluid cypress]

it doesnt seem to have any dependency on the plugin.yml inside the jar itself, the one i downloaded from spigot

[lilac dagger]

frconomy is better than iconomy @eternal oxide

ah thats ico6

not 5

[fluid cypress]

btw i dont think it should be called SpigotPlugin.jar

[lilac dagger]

frconomy is what iconomy wanted to be

[fluid cypress]

so its not the same

?

[eternal oxide]

I forked iCo5 as it was simple and just worked. iCo 6 was a nasty monster

[lilac dagger]

@eternal oxide rate this https://github.com/Fr33styler/frConomy

[fluid cypress]

why is it a nasty monster

[eternal oxide]

You can no longer use the iCo5 fork though ans thats been locked to Towny

I don;t remember now but I remember everyone hating it

[fluid cypress]

mmm then, back to implementing my own economy provider?

[eternal oxide]

it was a lot of years ago

[fluid cypress]

it shouldnt be that hard, i mean

i just dont know which classes to inherit and all that

is there any docs for it?

[eternal oxide]

its not, just depends what you need your eco to do

just Economy.class

[fluid cypress]

the same as the basic essentials economy provider + a history

[fluid cypress]

from vault?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[fluid cypress]

ok so extend from that class, implement all its methods

but how do i register it, i need some docs or something

[eternal oxide]

just register it as a service provider

with Bukkit

[fluid cypress]

i guess like this https://github.com/iconomy5legacy/iConomy/blob/master/src/main/java/com/iConomy/iConomy.java#L210

[lilac dagger]

wait

iconomy 5 is not looking bad at all

[fluid cypress]

ok so, if i want to withdraw from a player from another plugin, and i want to add details to my history thing, is there a way i can do that?

like, when i implement withdrawPlayer, can i add a third optional parameter or something like that, just for some plugins to use (meaning my own)

bc if i manually create an entry in the history after withdrawing, how can i know from the economy provider side that i will do that, and not create a log from there bc of that?

or maybe i can "prepare" the provider for the transaction, giving it details about it beforehand

assuming its all a single thread and synchronous, if there is a plugin that does the withdrawal or the payment in another thread, that could break it, right?

[native gale]

Just syncronize it with the scheduler then

[eternal oxide]

yes, remember commands are async

[fluid cypress]

yea but i mean, the other plugins that i didnt make

[fluid cypress]

really? didnt know that

then i dont know how could i achieve that, without having to reimplement the withdraw logic from all other plugins, like quickshop, plotsquared, and all of that

at least it could be nice to know which plugin initiated the transaction, is there any magic way to know that?

like looking at the call stack or something

[native gale]

What people tell you here is to use Vault for economy, afaik, both Essentials and Plotsquared rely on it (I might be wrong)

You replace Essenatials economy with your own implementation, hook it into Vault and it will just work

(theoretically)

[fluid cypress]

yea, i know that, but the vault methods for withdrawal and all of that

only have the player and the amount

nothing else, like details or something

not even the plugin that called the method

and thats what i wanna know, a transaction history of only the amounts is not very informative imo

[native gale]

I mean, the point of using the interface is decoupling the consumer and provider

[fluid cypress]

i could at least show the plugin, like quickshop, plotsquared, the pay command, whatever, and then specify a bit more, doing some weird stuff, on the transaction originated by my own plugins

[native gale]

your plugin doesn't know what calls these methods, and callers don't know who handles the calls

So you're able to swap them all hovewer you wish

[fluid cypress]

yea, that makes sense for making them all compatible with everything

and not having to add every single economy provider as a dependency

but, it would have been nice to add something, even just a string that you could parse as json or whatever

to do stuff like logging, i dont think thats a niche feature

[native gale]

Eh, the author of Vault didn't think about that back when was designing it. Good news is that it's opensource and even updates once in a couple of years

Though, I don't think you can do much here, even if the Vault updates the interface, plugins have to adapt to it first

[fluid cypress]

yea, you would have to update all consumers

but thats why i was thinking about checking the call stack

to even get just the jar file name of the plugin that used the withdraw or pay method

can i do that? maybe getting a class by name somehow, and then getting the jar that contains it? is that possible in any way?

[native gale]

Hmm, I'm not that good ||(aka I suck at)|| in metaprogramming in Java

Maybe someone else knows

[ivory sleet]

There is some magic stuff you could do

not entirely reliable

[native gale]

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/StackTraceElement.html#getClassName-- / https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/security/ProtectionDomain.html#getCodeSource--

[ivory sleet]

i thought either u could walk through the stack trace and get the class loader and if its the plugin class loader… bingo, or maybe grab whatever class through the reflection thingy that gets the caller class

[native gale]

I think these might be useful

[native gale]

Yeah, I though like

Get the previous caller > Get it's class > Get the name of .jar file

[ivory sleet]

No need to get the jar file?

You can probably grab the plugin instance from the plugin class loader and then fetch the name

[native gale]

classname = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[2].getClassName()

Uhh

Class.forName(classname).getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation()

I think something like this, I might be very wrong though

[ivory sleet]

I mean there is StackWalker also

[native gale]

@ivory sleet I talk about jar file because of this

[native gale]

I mean

[native gale]

I've already told I'm not good at it

[ivory sleet]

Yea well I was just suggesting java’s built in class for traversing a callstack ^^

[native gale]

All what I just wrote

I learned less than 10 minutes ago

By lurking the documentation

I have no idea if it will work or not

[fluid cypress]

yea, doesnt matter if its the jar filename or not

[tardy delta]

StackWalker?

[fluid cypress]

just an identifier

the plugin name

[fluid cypress]

so if i understand correctly, i get any class from the consumer from the call stack, and then i can get the plugin that contains that class?

and from there just get the plugin name

the thing is i know nothing about metaprogramming in java, and idek if thats the right term to use

so ill have to try all that, but before that i need to implement the economy provider

[kindred sentinel]

I'm not sure but something went wrong

[tardy delta]

something lagging

dunno if /timings is a spigot or paper thing but could try that

[glad prawn]

both

[remote swallow]

use spark

[tidal kettle]

can i prevent a player to break an end crystal with an event

because interacevent didn't work

[royal heath]

Yes, call the BlockBreakEvent and check if the block is an end crystal

then set setCancelled to true

[broken nacelle]

isnt end_ crystal an entity?

[royal heath]

Ah yeah good point

Didn't think of that

[broken nacelle]

PlayerInteractEvent and EntityExplosionEvent didnt work?

[kindred sentinel]

Is Brewery made of tick function?

[royal heath]

Try EntityInteractEvent

[tidal kettle]

okay i try

[outer cloak]

everytime i change the pvpmanager config from this
Anti Border Hopping:
Vulnerable: true
Push Back:
Enabled: true
to this
Anti Border Hopping:
Vulnerable: false
Push Back: true
Enabled: true
and i save it then i refresh the page and its just goes back for some reason
i rly need help

and i cant even use the spawnshield plugin because it just tells me and inernal error occured

[sinful matrix]

Hello Guys
I am currently programming a spigot plugin where I need PlayerConnection. However, this is not found

[tardy delta]

sounds like nms

are you using the spigot dependency instead of spigot-api?

[sinful matrix]

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven("https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/")
    maven("https://libraries.minecraft.net/")
}

dependencies {
    implementation("org.spigotmc:spigot-api:1.20.6-R0.1-SNAPSHOT")
    compileOnly("com.mojang:authlib:1.6.25")
    testImplementation(platform("org.junit:junit-bom:5.9.1"))
    testImplementation("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter")
}

Those are my build.gradle dependencies

And there is spigot-api

[chrome beacon]

So the answer is no

If you're going to make NPCs I recommend just using Citizens

[sinful matrix]

I wanna change the skin of the player

[tidal kettle]

how can i cancel an event if a player interact with an entity in PlayerInteractEvent

[chrome beacon]

PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent

[broken nacelle]

what interaction?

[tidal kettle]

punch a mob for example

[broken nacelle]

EntityDamageByEntityEvent

[tidal kettle]

i have error in PlayerInteractEvent when punching an end_crystal

can i like see if the block is an end_crystal and cancel the event?

[chrome beacon]

An end crystal is an entity

[tidal kettle]

in playerInteractEvent

[chrome beacon]

not a block

[tidal kettle]

yes but

i got error

[rapid vigil]

then share code and error :p

[tidal kettle]

event.getClickedBlock()).getType())

[chrome beacon]

There is no block if you're clicking on an entity

[sinful matrix]

It shows syntax errors if i change spigot-api to spigot

[chrome beacon]

Have you run BuildTools yet

[sinful matrix]

Yes

[chrome beacon]

Also I recommend using one of the Remapping plugins

So you don't end up working with an obfuscated environment

[broken nacelle]

yes

[chrome beacon]

https://github.com/patrick-choe/mojang-spigot-remapper

[broken nacelle]

if (event.getMaterial == Material.END_CRYSTAL)

[sinful matrix]

So I can't just type in the dependencies?

[chrome beacon]

you can but that would make everything harder for yourself

Good luck writing nms code with methods such as a(), b() and c()

[tidal kettle]

nop cause end_crystal is an entity

[rapid vigil]

there isn't a getMaterial method, but there is a getRightClicked

[tidal kettle]

it work but

[outer cloak]

.

[tidal kettle]

getMaterial return Material.AIR and after the material so don't use it

use event.getClickedBlock().getType()

[broken nacelle]

END_CRYSTAL Link icon
public static final Material END_CRYSTAL

Material.class

[broken nacelle]

so get the material and check

[broken nacelle]

you can try EntityDamageByEntityEvent

and check if the entity is a crystal

and the damager is a player

then cancel the event

[tidal kettle]

problem is i need to use playerintercat event

apart if an event who only check block exist

but i don't think

like the same event but with block only

[broken nacelle]

its just check de material

and cancel

[tidal kettle]

End_Crystal when place is an entity

[rapid vigil]

you can do it this way

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerInteractAtEntity(PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent event) {
        if(event.getRightClicked().getType() != EntityType.ENDER_CRYSTAL) {
            return;
        }
        event.setCancelled(true);
    }```

[gentle inlet]

Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble try to do this as I'm quite bad a coding. I was wondering if you could give me a code example that does what you say. I'm sorry if this is too much to ask

[wet breach]

your better off attempting it yourself and then showing your code here. This way, even if I am not here as well as I am not always the best, it gives others the ability to help you 🙂

I typically don't spoon feed and instead give you pseudo code or concepts 😄

[gentle inlet]

lol

[wet breach]

pretty sure someone around here has some kind of library for tasks in fact

just can't remember who that was

[remote swallow]

aikars task chain?

[wet breach]

maybe? Thought someone else had one that wasn't as complex

[gentle inlet]

This? https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/task-increadibly-cool-task-library.473412/

if just searching for tasks libary on this discord rn

[remote swallow]

oh are you talking about work distro

?workdistro

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/guide-on-workload-distribution-or-how-to-handle-heavy-splittable-tasks.409003/

[tardy delta]

im wondering how creating a new object for every block would help but thats another story

[wet breach]

not quite but actually that guide may help them understand regardless

maybe

their issue from yesterday in a code piece they showed, they were creating tasks but they never died and they never bothered checking if a task already existed

and thus eventually their server crashes and burns

so I suggested that they implement a check for an existing task as well as implementing in the task code a check that would kill the task

so now you know their issue, anyways reason I brought up a task library was merely so they could see how it could be done

not exactly to be used but I suppose they could lol

[chrome beacon]

then just keep a reference of the task and stop the old one if you want to make a new task

also does that task need to keep running forever?

[wet breach]

don't believe so, it was a task for items in their inventory when they were used to provide effects?

[chrome beacon]

Then one task is enough

[wet breach]

but I will let them explain since they are here 😄

[gentle inlet]

I think so as the player will always have this custom item "Relic"

[wet breach]

and there is some helpful devs about

[chrome beacon]

No need to create more than one task

[wet breach]

I thought so too that only a single task was needed per player

or they could go with a worker queue

[chrome beacon]

You don't really need a task per player

[chrome beacon]

yeah

[gentle inlet]

What is a Worker queue?

[wet breach]

it works like the task scheduler in the api, you put the things you want done into a queue, and then you have worker threads that spawn to clear out the queue and do work on those tasks. Handy to distribute work load and keeping track and what have you

there is a variety of ways to implement it depending on your needs

[quaint mantle]

Async Await

[ivory sleet]

CompletableFuture<T>

[gentle inlet]

This is what ive got so far:

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

[tardy delta]

extends ItemStack oh no

server isnt gonna respect your itemstack

also so much mismatched responsabilities

[worthy yarrow]

I love 500 line listener classes

[worthy yarrow]

I'd definitely start splitting up your concerns though... no reason to have 20 different functions in one class

[quaint mantle]

Something you did not ask for:
On each case statement, you can extract

meta.setDisplayName("§aʀᴇʟɪᴄ ᴏꜰ §4§lᴄᴏᴍʙᴀᴛ 1");
lore.add("§f§lᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ §4§lғɪɢʜᴛɪɴɢ");

To before the switch statement so it always gets added regardless of the level

Also, avoid writing comments, they are something that can confuse you in the future, as if you change a line of code for which you have a comment, that comment would be now "outdated" with the new code, and the compiler won't even tell you about it because comments are not code

[tardy delta]

Arrays.asList

throw that into #1100941063058894868

[quaint mantle]

Why extending item stack?

[quaint mantle]

Probably he's trying to create a custom item

If you try push instance of it to inventory you may get a exception

[quaint mantle]

Plus the compatibility for future versions

It might break

Allright, so that might be the problem

public void sphereTask(Player player) {
        Location loc = player.getLocation();
        player.getWorld().playSound(loc, Sound.BLOCK_BEACON_ACTIVATE, 10f, 0f);

        final boolean[] f = {false};
        int id = Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(WardenRelics.getInstance(), new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                double radiusSquared = 40; // Radius squared, adjust as needed
                for (Player players : loc.getWorld().getPlayers()) {
                    if (players.getLocation().distanceSquared(loc) <= radiusSquared) {
                        if (players == player) {
                            players.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.REGENERATION, 20, 4)); // 20 ticks = 1 second
                        }else {
                            players.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON, 40, 9)); // 20 ticks = 1 second
                        }
                    }
                }
                createSphere(loc, 0.03 * i[0], (i[0] + 1) * 0.03);
                if (i[0] <= 1) {
                    f[0] = false;
                }if (i[0] >= 20) {
                    f[0] = true;
                }
                if (f[0]) {
                    i[0]--;
                } else {
                    i[0]++;
                }
                i[0] %= 33.333;
            }
        }, 0, 1);
        Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(WardenRelics.getInstance(), new Runnable()
        {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(id);
                sphereEnd(loc, player);
            }
        }, 200);
    }

You are creating a 1 tick delayed repeating task

[tardy delta]

whoa

[quaint mantle]

And you schedule it for 10 seconds

This is good for 1-4 players

When there's 20 it might go wrong

[worthy yarrow]

@tardy delta you didn't mention the lambda method as oppose to the anonymous methods haha

[tardy delta]

i didnt mention shit

its too much

[worthy yarrow]

Actually

Yeah that's true lol

[gentle inlet]

But it is unlikely multiple people use it at the same times as there are othere relics and not everyone will have upgraded their relic to level 4

[worthy yarrow]

Btw ty for suggesting this to me because it really cleaned up the runnables haha

@gentle inlet first thing I'd work on is seperation of concerns

[gentle inlet]

wdym

[quaint mantle]

Search Uncle Bob on youtube

[worthy yarrow]

The fact you have like 10 different functions in one class is already clogging enough, that being said start moving your specific functions to specific classes... this helps you avoid 500 line monsters that are incredibly hard to maintain and read through

[gentle inlet]

Ok so should I create like a base class for all the relics

[worthy yarrow]

I mean it depends on your whole structure, I like to keep my classes function specific

[quaint mantle]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/separation-of-concerns-soc/
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/conceptual-articles/s-o-l-i-d-the-first-five-principles-of-object-oriented-design

[worthy yarrow]

ie: a group of methods that work to achieve one thing should be in it's own class

Keep your concerns separated like this^ and you'll begin to have a way easier time maintaining

[tardy delta]

to then watch one of his four hour talks, ahhhhh

[quaint mantle]

🥺

It's an hour talk of good things

[worthy yarrow]

There's no reason to write everything out in a single class when di exists lol

[tidal kettle]

hey i got an error with playerInteractEvent when i right click an end_crystal with an item in my hand, the "event.getClickedBlock().getType()" is null and i got an error, did anyone know why?

[gentle inlet]

Oh i see what you mean alright

[slender elbow]

end crystal is not a block, it's an entity, that's why

you are clicking an entity, not a block

[tidal kettle]

ye but i got an error

[worthy yarrow]

private boolean isOnCooldown(Player player) {
        return cooldowns.containsKey(player) && System.currentTimeMillis() < cooldowns.get(player);

        }
    }```

Like this bit could be put into it's own "Cooldown class" of sorts

[tidal kettle]

and i didn't know why

[slender elbow]

yeah because you're trying to get the clicked block

but there is no clicked block

because it's an entity

[brittle geyser]

hasCooldown*

[worthy yarrow]

...

[tidal kettle]

can i like add a if(someting) to prevent that?

[worthy yarrow]

That was incredibly nitpicky of you sir

[slender elbow]

check the event action

there's also an event for interacting with an entity? PlayerInteractEntityEvent I think? I don't remember the exact name

[tidal kettle]

ye i know

but i wan't to use PlayerInteractEvent because i need to check if the block is a chest, an anvil , etc

[slender elbow]

check the action to make sure it's a block

[tidal kettle]

umm

[slender elbow]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInteractEvent.html#getAction()
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/block/Action.html#RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK

[tidal kettle]

with action you can only check if it's right or left click ?

[slender elbow]

you can check if it's right/left click block/entity

look at the enum

[tidal kettle]

OO

I SEE

[tidal kettle]

OMG thx you i'm finally free from this problem

[slender elbow]

[worldly ingot]

Emily already making good use of the new emote by threatening those asking for help

[slender elbow]

yep

you better be grateful

"or else >:("

[worthy yarrow]

Why don't spigot have more emotes

[worldly ingot]

Nobody's suggested any :D

[worthy yarrow]

We need a cat being pet

[worldly ingot]

If you can find one, propose it to md when you see him next and he may add it :p

[eternal night]

[slender elbow]

weeb

[worldly ingot]

weeb

[eternal night]

[slender elbow]

[worthy yarrow]

imagine waiting for md to appear out of the wilderness

[worldly ingot]

He's usually here every night

Night EST, that is

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah but that's only a 15 minute window kek

@worldly ingot do you know of any display entity drawbacks? General ones rather

[worldly ingot]

They're not interactible. That's really the only flaw with them imo.

[worthy yarrow]

I saw someone doing some funky omni color blocks the other day and I wanna know how easily achievable that is

[slender elbow]

something something interaction entities

[worldly ingot]

I know about interaction entities!

:(

[remote swallow]

can we add mdthonk

[worthy yarrow]

Idk I just want to expand with display entities but idk what to do to the damageHolograms plugin

(past damage indicator holograms anyway)

[tidal kettle]

is EntityCombustEvent work for end_crystals?

[worthy yarrow]

It only works for engines unfortunately :p

[tidal kettle]

or maybe EntityExplodeEvent

is better

[worldly ingot]

It would be the explode event, yes

[rapid vigil]

I already gave you the code?

[worldly ingot]

I mean, assuming you're looking for an explosion lol

[remote swallow]

[worldly ingot]

Combust event is for entities being lit on fire

[worthy yarrow]

Oh snap

choco

You just gave me a new temperature change trigger thank you sir

[blazing ocean]

what do I cast to org.bukkit.block.Sign? can I cast a Block?

[tidal kettle]

what i wan't to do is when the player left_click the end_crystals, nothing append
no explosion, nothing, the block stand in place

[slender elbow]

no, you'd cast the BlockData

[rapid vigil]

and what about right click?

[tidal kettle]

right click doesn't break end crystal...

[rapid vigil]

oh right

[tidal kettle]

x)

[rapid vigil]

I totally forgot :-:

[worldly ingot]

I think you're looking for EntityExplodeEvent then, yes

[tidal kettle]

but the code you gave me is (i think) gonna be usefull for me for later 😄

[worthy yarrow]

That's always the hope aint it

[rapid vigil]

replace the PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent with EntityExplodeEvent use event.getEntity instead of event.getRightClicked, you can also use event.getEntityType for the check instead of calling getType on getEntity

hope that makes sense :p

[tidal kettle]

wooork 😄

but the end crystal disapear

just have to get the location and place another one, i hope i'm not going to create a duplication glitch lol

[rapid vigil]

oh right that just cancels the explosion, cancel the EntityDamageByEntityEvent on ender crystals instead then

[worthy yarrow]

If you cancel the explode event that should be enough shouldn't it?

[rapid vigil]

it cancels the explosion but the crystal goes away

[tidal kettle]

nope the end crystal disapear

[gentle inlet]

@EventHandler public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) { Player player = event.getPlayer(); ItemStack relic = new ItemStack(Material.ECHO_SHARD); ItemMeta randomItemMeta = relic.getItemMeta(); randomItemMeta.setCustomModelData(102); relic.setItemMeta(randomItemMeta); if (player != null) { player.sendMessage("join"); } }

Why is the playerjoin event running multiple times when i join i got 8 messages saying "join"

[worthy yarrow]

I guess that makes sense yeah

[rapid vigil]

adding to that, you are cancelling the explosion not the destroying of the ender crystal

[tidal kettle]

if player != null???

[rapid vigil]

it's ok if you ping btw :p

oops

[worthy yarrow]

Kek haha no worries I just assumed you'd see it since you were here otherwise I prolly woulda ❤️

[gentle inlet]

For some reason if i dont have that it disables the plugin on startup the plugin :/

[tidal kettle]

dafuq lol

[worthy yarrow]

There's no way

[rapid vigil]

yeah right :>

[worthy yarrow]

😛

[gentle inlet]

yep ill remove it and send the error if you want?

[worthy yarrow]

Please cuz that makes no sense

[blazing ocean]

it just returns

[gentle inlet]

that what i thought too

[rapid vigil]

The player can't be null, because if the player didn't exist the event wouldn't have triggered

[worthy yarrow]

Ah

do the check before you declare the player maybe

[gentle inlet]

Yeah im a bit confused

[worldly ingot]

org.bukkit.block.Sign, cast Block#getState()
org.bukkit.block.data.type.Sign, cast Block#getBlockData()

[blazing ocean]

it's the first one, will try

[worldly ingot]

State contains NBT data about the sign, so if you're wanting to edit lines and whatnot, that's the one you want

[blazing ocean]

ty

[quaint mantle]

@sullen canyon sir could you help me with my plugin?

[worthy yarrow]

He's not casting the player either so how in the hell would the if (player != null) break the plugin...

[tame sky]

net

[worldly ingot]

I think you have another plugin doing something stupid that it shouldn't be

There's no reason your PJE should be firing more than once, or for your Player to be null for that matter

[worthy yarrow]

Maybe it's that

[rapid vigil]

no idea :p

[worldly ingot]

It smells like AuthMe or something

[gentle inlet]

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

[worthy yarrow]

the player is null...

WHAT

[worldly ingot]

What would help is the stacktrace because it would tell you what plugin called the event

[blazing ocean]

keep it english

[worthy yarrow]

@gentle inlet send the whole error

[blazing ocean]

was that optic or choco 👀

[remote swallow]

prob choco

[rapid vigil]

choco

[gentle inlet]

I thought that was the whole error

[worthy yarrow]

Well error + stacktrace

[gentle inlet]

Im sorry whats a stacktrace :/

[worthy yarrow]

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

Looks like that

we need the caused by

[gentle inlet]

Is that supposed to be in the console?

[worldly ingot]

The error you get on startup, yes

[worthy yarrow]

Yes

[gentle inlet]

Is isnt

[worldly ingot]

Well there's an error somewhere if your plugin is red

[worthy yarrow]

check the latest log file maybe?

[tidal kettle]

uuh another question with end_crystal
Ow can you set a end_crystal in the world? loc.getBlock().setType(Material.END_CRYSTAL); didn't work (loc = event.getLocation();)

[worldly ingot]

End crystals are entities, not blocks

You would have to spawn one

[gentle inlet]

THis is the only thing in console that mentions warden relics

[worthy yarrow]

ctrl F and search the name of your plugin in the log

[tidal kettle]

oo ok

[worldly ingot]

That's the error we want. What does your RelicOfCombat class look like?

[worthy yarrow]

Show us

[tidal kettle]

someting like spawnentity?

[worldly ingot]

Yes, spawnEntity() or spawn() would work fine

[remote swallow]

can i spawn a 2nd choco

[gentle inlet]

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

[tidal kettle]

umm

[worldly ingot]

And can we see your onEnable() and registerEvents() methods?

The Player you're passing to that constructor is null

I'm unsure how you're getting a Player at all from your onEnable() to begin with

[worthy yarrow]

It's coming from before the player has actually joined so that's weird

[worthy yarrow]

This right here

[tidal kettle]

i think this is not possible but can you make the little bedrock thing disapear...

[gentle inlet]

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

[worthy yarrow]

pm.registerEvents(new RelicOfCombat(0, null), this);

I assume the fact you're passing "null" here is the issue

[gentle inlet]

i see

[worthy yarrow]

That being said, you have to get the player some other way within relicOfCombat class

[gentle inlet]

But anyway can someone actually help with what I asked for lol

[worthy yarrow]

What did you ask for?

[gentle inlet]

#help-development message

[worthy yarrow]

Try fixing the null thing first then test it again

And then we can see if it's still trying to trigger 8 times

[tidal kettle]

someone know if it is possible to have only the end crystal and not the bedrock thing?

[quasi gulch]

You need to set
setShowingBottom(false) to the Ender Crystal Entity https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/EnderCrystal.html

[tidal kettle]

how can i set a variable to be a EnderCrystal?

with the loc

[worthy yarrow]

I wonder if you could map it to an offset

[tidal kettle]

idk

[rapid vigil]

if you're using spawnEntity then cast it, if you're using spawn then you don't need to cast

[tidal kettle]

kay i try

[worthy yarrow]

How would you save a location with it?

[tidal kettle]

bruh

ur so strong

it work

[worthy yarrow]

So you don't need a location?

[rapid vigil]

the methods for spawning an entity takes a location (where the entity will be spawned)

[worthy yarrow]

I thought he needed to like cache a location though lol

Didn't realize he was simply just spawning it

[rapid vigil]

haha

[worthy yarrow]

How much have you worked with display entities?

[rapid vigil]

I haven't worked with them

[worthy yarrow]

boo

I wanna do some cool stuff, but I don't know what exactly that entails

[rapid vigil]

I will probably give it a try some day :p

[worthy yarrow]

They are really fun

https://github.com/NukeCaps/DamageHolograms

[worthy yarrow]

Quite simple as well

Anyways I've got damage indicators, what do I do with em now...

[rapid vigil]

stuff ig

[worthy yarrow]

SEE that's the issue D:

[mortal hare]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nSmkyDNulk

[worthy yarrow]

How lovely

[gentle inlet]

@EventHandler public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) { Player player = event.getPlayer(); ItemStack relic = new ItemStack(Material.ECHO_SHARD); ItemMeta randomItemMeta = relic.getItemMeta(); randomItemMeta.setCustomModelData(102); relic.setItemMeta(randomItemMeta); player.sendMessage("join"); startTaskForPlayer(player); }

Fixed null thing and now for some reason it says join 2 twice not 8 times now

[worthy yarrow]

Is that the only onPlayerJoin method you have?

[sullen canyon]

@echo basalt is life going zaebis?

[gentle inlet]

Yes

[worthy yarrow]

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();

}

this is in your main class btw

Try removing that

[gentle inlet]

ok

[gentle inlet]

Still twice

[worthy yarrow]

Also, after removing that you can take away ", Listener" at the top as well, you don't need your main to be a listener

[worthy yarrow]

Ok send me the whole class

[gentle inlet]

The relic of combat?

[worthy yarrow]

Uh wherever the onPlayerJoin method is

[gentle inlet]

yes ok

[worthy yarrow]

Ok and secondly, you should move all the eventhandler methods to another class

So make a new class that handles the event listeners

[gentle inlet]

k

[worthy yarrow]

After you do that, go to your main class and redo the event registry method to match the appropriate listener class

[tidal kettle]

how to delete entities?

[worthy yarrow]

should be entity#remove

[tidal kettle]

i can get entities in a raduis with getNearbyEntities

but

umm

[worthy yarrow]

What are you trying to delete? The crystals?

[tidal kettle]

yep and it work

[gentle inlet]

yep

[worthy yarrow]

Test it now

[tidal kettle]

the java doc say that is mark the entitie as remove so i was thinking it didn't remove the entity

but it work

[gentle inlet]

what about the errors in the class that handles events

[worthy yarrow]

Ah ok, so you need to move the cooldown logic either to that class, or to another class that will be your cooldown class or wtv, you use di (dependency injection) to get an instance of that class + it's methods so you can access isOnCooldown(player), startCooldown(player), etc. Or if you wanted to do it lazily, the first option, you just move the logic to that listener class

The second option makes this project easier to expand on when it comes to cooldown related stuff

[tidal kettle]

can i get a player by Entity?

like cast it to something

[worthy yarrow]

Only if the entity is actually a player

So make sure to check that first

[pseudo hazel]

if (entity instanceof Player player) {
player.eatShit()
}

for example

[worthy yarrow]

^

[slender elbow]

woah

[worthy yarrow]

But also

that's rude

[slender elbow]

when did spigot add that method

[pseudo hazel]

1.21

[gentle inlet]

lol

[slender elbow]

epic

[pseudo hazel]

atleast youll remember it now

[tidal kettle]

bruh it doersn't gonna work in EntityExplodeEvent

[pseudo hazel]

event.getEntity() instanceof Player player

[gentle inlet]

like 100 years ago XD

[tidal kettle]

i dont think endcrystal is a player x)

[worthy yarrow]

That's because a player doesn't explode (that I know of)

[pseudo hazel]

then it wont work

but then again, what is in the explode event

[gentle inlet]

1.22 update!? The Exploding Player Update

[tidal kettle]

x)

[pseudo hazel]

maybe the endcrystal knows what hit it

[tidal kettle]

maybe the handler?

[worthy yarrow]

Jetpacks perhaps?

[tidal kettle]

event.getHandlers()

[pseudo hazel]

wdym by the handler

no

[worthy yarrow]

btw you get it working?

[pseudo hazel]

thats all methods/classes that handle the event

thats what every event has

[tidal kettle]

i think i can't get the player

maybe if i do entityDamagebyEntity and then instanceof EntityExplodeEvent?

[gentle inlet]

The 1.22 update no, but the relic thing no aswell still sayll join twice

[worthy yarrow]

You made all the changes?

[gentle inlet]

Im pretty sure

[worthy yarrow]

Send me pastes of the main, relics, listener, and the cooldowns class if you made one

[tidal kettle]

men

EntityDamageByEntityEvent

is what i want for an hour

[worthy yarrow]

it happens man

[tidal kettle]

It's a namespace?

it a string of characters, in addition to a plugin instance

[charred blaze]

maybe i have trouble understanding because i dont know what it means in english?

[vast ledge]

What are you trying to do?

[charred blaze]

again what is namespace?

[vast ledge]

"Represents a String based key which consists of two components - a namespace and a key. Namespaces may only contain lowercase alphanumeric characters, periods, underscores, and hyphens."

[charred blaze]

it literally starts talking about it

[vast ledge]

NamespacedKey key = new NamespacedKey(plugin, "your namespace")

[charred blaze]

lemme rephrase my question. does namespace mean anything in english language?

[vast ledge]

A way to assign names to certain "spaces" (Groups of Objects)

[charred blaze]

aaaaaaaa

thanks

[vast ledge]

ex

NamespacedKey myCustomItemIdentifier = new NamespacedKey(plugin, "myCustomItem")

if(item.getItemMeta().getPersistenDataContainer().get(myCustomIdentifier, PersistenDataType.BOOLEAN)) return isCustomItem = true;
return isCustomItem = false;

[tardy delta]

nice npe

[mild walrus]

look dm

[eternal oxide]

change .get to .has and just return

[vast ledge]

I wrote that without code reference, but thats probably better

[potent ocean]

Anyone know how to change the server name, like when doing Bukkit.getServer().getName()?

[tardy delta]

i believe its packets

[hazy parrot]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/craftbukkit/browse/src/main/java/org/bukkit/craftbukkit/CraftServer.java#269

change it in server impl

[tardy delta]

or that ye

[potent ocean]

So they must have gotten rid of the way in the server.properties

[hazy parrot]

yeah, its hardcoded

[tardy delta]

came across this, dunno if its related https://github.com/zubiden/F3Name/blob/master/src/main/java/ua/coolboy/f3name/bukkit/packet/ReflectionPayloadPacket.java

[sullen marlin]

?xy

[undone axle]

https://xyproblem.info/

[potent ocean]

Well, I had just gotten confused I thought Bukkit.getServer().getName() would return Unknown Server or whatever it would be in server.properties since when I last used it.

I had just thought it was moved somewhere else, sorry for the confusion tho

[storm crystal]

how can I introduce getOrDefault based on type?

[carmine mica]

I don't think you want the same generic param for both generic parms of PersistentDataType

but you would just add another parameter of the "value" generic type

[storm crystal]

like that?

[worthy yarrow]

This is my proposal of adding a cat getting pet emote to spigot

[glad prawn]

Z def

[storm crystal]

what does def stand for?

[glad prawn]

default

[glad prawn]

btw why u returning T

[storm crystal]

yeah I noticed

I uh

got the wrong order

[glad prawn]

I see you seem to be overloading this method quite a lot. You can still use generic for the second parameter if you understand how to use it.

#general with emoji

[storm crystal]

Wdym by overloading

I dont use another method with same name

[glad prawn]

You can have many methods have the same name but different parameters.

[storm crystal]

And im not doing that

https://www.w3schools.com/java/java_methods_overloading.asp

Is this what you mean

[glad prawn]

yeah

[storm crystal]

Why would I make several methods to get pdc

[glad prawn]

you can have just one

with generic

[storm crystal]

So why am I overloading it a lot

Im not creating any methods of same name

[glad prawn]

uh k, so it's fine for u

[storm crystal]

You said im overloading it, I looked up the definition and it doesnt seem like Im doing it

I really dont understand you

[glad prawn]

It's just that I see above that there are 2 methods with the same name but different parameters, so.

[storm crystal]

No its the same method

I was editing it

[storm crystal]

So with that cleared, is there anything else wrong with it?

[glad prawn]

Nothing

[storm crystal]

I finally did something good

[pearl forge]

hello, I come to ask if it is possible to call a function from a datapack in a plugin, is it possible?

[chrome beacon]

Should be possible

[young knoll]

If nothing else you can run the function command

[spice burrow]

How should I go about preventing the block break animation destroy stage from resetting? i.e. whenever its on stage 5/9 and mining stops it resets to -1. I want that stage to remain at 5 when mining stops (essentially saving mining progress)

I try to set the destroystage to the status of the current animation, but since it resets it doesn't retain the packet info.

my code

  @Override
  public void onPacketSend(PacketSendEvent event) {
    //        Cross platform user abstraction
    User user = event.getUser();
    //    whenever player receives a block break animation packet
    if (event.getPacketType() == PacketType.Play.Server.BLOCK_BREAK_ANIMATION) {
      WrapperPlayServerBlockBreakAnimation breakAnimation =
          new WrapperPlayServerBlockBreakAnimation(event);
      Byte status = breakAnimation.getDestroyStage();
    // doesn't work
      breakAnimation.setDestroyStage(status);
    }
  }

[young knoll]

BlockDamageAbortEvent -> Player#sendBlockDamage

The only issue is I don’t think there is a way to get the damage progress of a block, so you’d need packets for that

[spice burrow]

Yea, that's what I was trying to do with the break animation packet with the packetevents lib

[young knoll]

You’re just setting the destroy stage to what the destroy stage already was…

That’s not going to change anything

If the server sends the packet to reset it to -1 you can just cancel that

But I assume the client handles that

[vagrant stratus]

Who wants to hate themselves for a lil?
Trying to write either a python or Java program for https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/mjvwc7/minecraft_full_enchantment_guide/ (specifically bows) in which said program tries to find the most valid combinations of using the least amount of bows & enchanted books/combination. It should also print each valid combination too

[slender elbow]

pass

[native nexus]

wtf

[vagrant stratus]

Yea, ChatGPT didn't figure it out either LMFAO

[young knoll]

Confusion?

Isn’t the least amount 2/1

[vagrant stratus]

Ya boi has problems and they need solved

[young knoll]

If you want infinity I’m pretty sure you can get everything in a single enchantment use

Otherwise you need 1 enchantment and then 1 anvil use to add mending

Ah I see

[native nexus]

why in python and not just java

[spice burrow]

yea idk what i was thinking LMAO ill try to cancel the -1 packet

[vagrant stratus]

Yes, but given the mess that is my storage the fun is

1. Finding every valid combination
2. Preferably doing it in the least amount of books & bows while providing the most amount of valid combinations

I'd throw them away but server econ 👀

[vagrant stratus]

either or

[young knoll]

Grindstone them, then throw em away

[vagrant stratus]

.

[young knoll]

Are they even worth much

The bow is generally the easiest part of my gear to make

[vagrant stratus]

Eh. I have a bunch enchants & bows, might as well throw automation at it

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-mr-krabs-greedy-greed-rich-gif-4807937

[shadow heath]

Hello, I have an error, I want to lose half a hearth each time I activate a totem with EntityResurrectEvent, but sometimes it removes half a hearth and others an entire hearth

private int totemCount = 0;

@EventHandler
public void onEntityResurrect(EntityResurrectEvent event) {
if (event.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
Player player = (Player) event.getEntity();

        if (totemCount % 3 == 0) {
            // Calculate the new max health after removing 1.5 hearts
            double currentHealth = player.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH).getBaseValue();
            double newMaxHealth = currentHealth - 1.5;

            // Ensure the player's current health does not exceed the new max health
            if (player.getHealth() > newMaxHealth) {
                player.setHealth(newMaxHealth);
            }

            // Set the new max health
            player.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH).setBaseValue(newMaxHealth);

   if (player.getHealth() > newMaxHealth) {
                    player.setHealth(newMaxHealth);

this isnt necessary

and 1.5 is 3/4 of a heart

not half

[river oracle]

Yeah

[royal heath]

I know this is a Java question, but it could apply here as well.

If my plugin is using an SQLLite database, and say 2 players do something at the same time, will it lock and choose a victim, or will they be queued?

For example, someone joins and it say adds a coin to a table, but someone else joins at the exact millisecond, will one of these error, or will it queue? I know SQLLite does database locks, so I'm not sure what entails in this scenario.

Additionally, what if a player say runs /coins at the same time someone is writing to their coins on server join? Will it queue this, or will it throw an error on read?

I have no problem using MySQL, but with the scale of this I would like to use SQLLite to save resources

[eternal oxide]

no two players will ever join at the exact same millis

[royal heath]

That's a true point, and I understand that. Just the off chance. I guess it shouldn't really be a concern as SQLLite is pretty fast

[eternal oxide]

You must do things sync for SQLite

There is no async access

[worthy yarrow]

Why is that?

[eternal oxide]

because it doesn't support async

[worthy yarrow]

Oh it's one of those kek

[royal heath]

Doesn't it just mean the database itself is synchronous?

[eternal oxide]

I believe it will throw an access violation or some other error if you try to use it async from two threads

lol nothing in java ever synchronises.

[worthy yarrow]

I should learn about threading

any recommendations for this?

[eternal oxide]

Its a bitch. I still get it wrong myself

[royal heath]

True. I didn't know if the driver itself would queue it to be synchronous or if it was just a DYI thing if you truly want multi-threaded

[eternal oxide]

nope they driver will just throw an error

[worthy yarrow]

sources perhaps?

[royal heath]

Ah okay

[eternal oxide]

learn https://docs.oracle.com/javase%2F7%2Fdocs%2Fapi%2F%2F/java/util/concurrent/SynchronousQueue.html

[worthy yarrow]

oh boy oracle source

[eternal oxide]

thats nice for handling sync access from many async threads

[worthy yarrow]

We love oracle

[eternal oxide]

it will basically make all other threads wait until it's free

[worthy yarrow]

So like a queue pool ?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[worldly ingot]

Java 7 docs?

We do 22 around here 😎 https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/22/docs/api/java.base/java/util/concurrent/SynchronousQueue.html

[eternal oxide]

Theres many ways to do it, but basically you have to expose a thread safe API to hide your SQLite access

With Spigot so long as you are not on the main thread you can block

[worthy yarrow]

funny how the description changed fonts

[royal heath]

Ah okay makes sense. Wouldn't work well then with my scriptable bot plugin.

I'll add MySQL functionality to it

Where do we start with this is the question

It'd be cool to get some models but I have no clue how to work with those

[nova notch]

model engine

[worthy yarrow]

Last time I tried playing with meg, I just ran into a lot of frustration

I want to mess with display entities more, have you any ideas?

[nova notch]

uh

make your own model engine?

[blazing ocean]

custom models with resource packs

will save you a lot of time

[worthy yarrow]

Hmm

Some brainstorming is in order

[blazing ocean]

maybe switch to #general

god what am i doing wrong with skulls?!?!

I think skull is depreciated too but i cant find the new one

[spice burrow]

If I add NPCs (via packets) that have custom logic and they display to all players on the server (within a specific range), will this tank performance heavily?

[buoyant viper]

well as long as ur logic code isnt pure dogwater id say nah ur probably fine

[drowsy helm]

you dont really have to check for distance, if the client receives the packet and it's outside of the render dist, it will be discarded

which is generally more performant then checking it serverside

[spice burrow]

you're like my resident spigot helper lmao

thanks homie

somehow this code doesnt remove itemDisplay?

i have this in ondisable

i even debugged it above

So i implemented NMS, runned the BuildTools and imported local dependencie.
Why can i not call the function getProfile()?

Entity#setPersistent(false)

WIll try that out

[charred blaze]

I think i found why it was not getting removed

maybe because that code was for bungee api or something?

setPersistent worked

I am using reflection and this is since 1.20.5 spigot update

[hazy parrot]

u have to look at mappings to see what that method name changed to ¯_(ツ)_/¯

There are some online mappings but idk link

[bright spire]

isnt there a general rule of what changed?

Because everything dissapeared on this version

[hazy parrot]

No, as they are obfuscated names

[bright spire]

Dunno where it is anymore

Are there any plans to add getPipeline() methods to players or something similar?

the spigot api is not very useful

[hazy parrot]

Tbh doubt, that is pretty much internal api

Is there any serious dev chat were plugin developers are talking about this?

Not useful when I am trying to port my plugins to support 1.20.6
