[tardy delta]

arrow functions and const 🐸

[short drift]

Honestly, I don't know any JavaScript.

The code is horrible.

But it works.

[charred blaze]

this isnt printing anything

[remote swallow]

use your own logger not bukkits

do you have essentials installed now also

[charred blaze]

no

[charred blaze]

i just want it to tell me to install economy provider

[remote swallow]

?paste the class and show your plugin list

[undone axle]

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

[broken nacelle]

?

[eternal oxide]

then if (rsp == null) sendMessage

[charred blaze]

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

[charred blaze]

im doing that look

[short drift]

Well, like I explained. You can use the web interface to create smileys and register them with MC.

[eternal oxide]

looks fine

[short drift]

On a live server.

[broken nacelle]

hmmm

[lilac dagger]

plugin.getlogger

[charred blaze]

oh thats what you were meaning

[eternal oxide]

Fine level will nto show by default

[remote swallow]

code looks fine, check your code is actually running and use your pluigins logger

[eternal oxide]

use INFO or WARNING

[charred blaze]

ill take info

[short drift]

It's a pretty fun nifty concept. You couldn't do that 8 years ago.

I had the idea yesterday and thought I'd try it out.

I also implemented some basic features like detecting whether the player's skin is wearing a hat or not.

[charred blaze]

it worked

[short drift]

That gets reflected in the chat avatar.

Then you hook it up with some macro detection in the chat like ":-)" and allow player's to register the gzipped base64 strings with the macros for their own avatar.

So the players can draw their own smileys and stuff for their characters.

And register them with a command with no support needed from resource pack.

Sans for the 8x8 grid of characters.

Which is always the same. You just color the pixels.

[icy beacon]

Oo I like this

[short drift]

It would be better if the website had a layer you can draw on above your character. Then the graphics could be merged on top of your avatar in-game.

But it would be more work 🤔

[dawn flower]

how do i make "floating" item displays

[vast ledge]

Spawn them in the air

[dawn flower]

like undespawnable, unpickable dropped item

[dawn flower]

with the floating effect thingi

[vast ledge]

Theres item displays on 1.20

[remote swallow]

item displays dont have gravity

they can be spawned anywhere

[dawn flower]

im talking abt the go up go down thing

[remote swallow]

transformations?

[dawn flower]

that wont be as smooth

and its lag affected

[lost matrix]

Have you tried a display entity? Not sure if the Item entity has an animation when its being displayed by the EntityDisplay, but i doubt it.

[eternal oxide]

I did that code day before yesterday

[remote swallow]

so figure out why its lagging

[blazing ocean]

then slowly increase ir every tick

[dawn flower]

ok

[eternal oxide]

to best match the floating effect you need to apply a sine curve to it

well I used Math.cos

[lost matrix]

At that point you might as well spawn an Item entity and set its gravity and pickup to false

[eternal oxide]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[eternal oxide]

https://paste.md-5.net/gafehunija.java Must use import org.joml.Math;

[worldly ingot]

I do think the no gravity tag applies to items now, so that's possible :p

Probably the easiest way

[young knoll]

It does

[teal oracle]

how can i use hex colors?

[tardy delta]

my old approach probably still works

[echo basalt]

why do I feel like we all have that exact same class

[civic sluice]

Using Components or a cursed legacy string format.

[teal oracle]

do you have that in text form?

[tardy delta]

type it over

Matcher::group is probably a thing

[teal oracle]

thanks :)

[teal oracle]

wouldnt something like this be faster?

public static String colorizeWithHex2(String input) {
        StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder("§x");
        for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
            out.append("§").append(input.charAt(i));
        }
        return out.toString();
    }
``` im new to spigot development and java generally so i might be wrong but it seemed like the old one just returned the string with §'s in between each character

[tardy delta]

that § fuckery is awful to look at

and you still gotta figure out all hex pattern occurrences

[teal oracle]

wdym

[remote swallow]

that would convert your hex eg 112233 to the spigot hex format but it wouldnt convert My cool 112233text

[teal oracle]

well it good enough for me so im gonna use it cause im scared of regex

[fallen scaffold]

Does anyone know why the sources are missing in IntelliJ? I still encounter this issue even after removing the .lastUpdated files. I have also disabled all compiler plugins.

[lilac dagger]

go at maven

and click download sources

[fallen scaffold]

I did, nothing happens ;c

[short drift]

So, um. How do I ban someone indefinitely using the Spigot API?

There doesn't seem to be a permanent option.

[tardy delta]

theres a player name ban and ip ban

maybe you can combine them too

[eternal oxide]

duration - how long the ban last, or null to imply forever

[short drift]

Well, yes. But all the addBan methods come with duration etc and none of them accept null.

[worldly ingot]

:p use null

[tardy delta]

they do?

[worldly ingot]

They're nullable arguments

[remote swallow]

cast the date null to date

[short drift]

Errors out on null.

[remote swallow]

cast it to date

[worldly ingot]

It's because it's ambiguous

You have to cast it to either Date or Instant

[short drift]

Cast a null to Date?!? Java is insane.

[worldly ingot]

Date I think is the direct one

Yes

[pseudo hazel]

probably some overload stuff

[worldly ingot]

It's to avoid ambiguity because that could apply to either of the two methods

[tardy delta]

those calls are ambiguous

[worldly ingot]

Which method do you use when the signatures match? :p

[short drift]

This would never fly in C# where I'm from.

People would burn you as a witch.

[tardy delta]

?

[short drift]

(Casting null to a type as an API requirement).

[fallen scaffold]

Here

[lilac dagger]

use the spigot api

and not build tools one

[fallen scaffold]

Same

[lilac dagger]

i think you have to generate sources for build tools

[tardy delta]

just do double shift and type download sources

[short drift]

Using null seems to have done the trick. But now I have a problem. The duration is now shown as "never", which seems to be hard coded.

[lilac dagger]

this is so weird

it works for me

[fallen scaffold]

I did there are spigot-api-1.20.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT-sources.jar.lastUpdated

[fallen scaffold]

It do nothing ;c

I create a new Project, it download something, but the same error:

[lilac dagger]

try reinstalling intellij

or invalidate caches

altho i don't think this counts as a cache

[teal oracle]

why does intellij crash every 10th second

[lilac dagger]

oh, maybe delete your local repo

or rename it at least

[wet breach]

well no one is forcing you to use it

[lilac dagger]

are you using materials?

[fallen scaffold]

Its fresh windows + fresh IntelJ

[teal oracle]

yes

[lilac dagger]

if you don't download sources you'll get crashes 😄

i've found this too the hard way

[wet breach]

https://tenor.com/view/train-cliff-crash-crash-and-burn-derail-gif-26399085

[lilac dagger]

probably why shiro wants sources too

[teal oracle]

or well it doesnt crash it just turns the cpu up too like 100% suddenly and then i crash it myself

[lilac dagger]

well, that sounds exactly like material crash

[wet breach]

just give it more resources

[lilac dagger]

material class is very long and intelijj's decompiler sucks

i mean it's a great decompiler

but not compared to material

[fallen scaffold]

IntelJ is so smart it cuts it off, so its not crashing. But i cant see how functions works.

[wet breach]

shame it doesn't show you compiled code

[lilac dagger]

maybe you're using jdk 17 for jdk 21 version @fallen scaffold

[wet breach]

NB does

[tardy delta]

download sources?

netbeans user spotted?

[lilac dagger]

why are you a netbean user for wanting the source?

why wouldn't i like sources and documentation on the api?

inside my project

[tardy delta]

cuz javadocs and general knowledge?

[lilac dagger]

you can't beat having the sources right under your nose

[tardy delta]

sources dont have a fuzzy finder, javadocs do

[lilac dagger]

it's one method click away from finding exactly what a method does

oh sure

for that i was javadocs

but where i can i just find the library and manually scour it for what i think i need

it's closer than java docs

[wet breach]

I am indeed a NB user

so is md 🙂

also, not sure why sources are an issue here when buildtools give you them

[eternal oxide]

BT has never created sources jar for me

it creates teh files, but no jar ever

[fallen scaffold]

i have the sources but i don´t now why there are not showing

[wet breach]

it does have the compiled classes that you can package yourself

[lilac dagger]

you have to use a flag like -generate sources or something like that

[wet breach]

and this ^

[eternal oxide]

yes,m it still never makes a jar. Only creates teh files/folders

[wet breach]

it is all you need

[eternal oxide]

yep, its just a pain to make a jar and add to maven

[lilac dagger]

i think it has a flag for packaging too, not sure

[wet breach]

or you can just point the source directory

if your IDE was good enough

[lilac dagger]

just use spigot api and click download sources

it's all you get sources for anyway

or need realistically

[wet breach]

unless you need NMS stuff

[lilac dagger]

i guess, but i was the remaps so not very helpful there i bet

[fallen scaffold]

I try to download all again

[carmine mica]

pain

mvn source:jar install

Inside the api repo

[fallen scaffold]

still same error

[slender elbow]

that's not what machine was talking about

did you follow Fr33styler's suggestion?

[fallen scaffold]

Which of them, all i did. Nothing changed

[slender elbow]

simply depending on the spigot-api artifact and clicking the download sources button

[slender elbow]

restart intellij, should fix itself, or maybe hit the choose sources button and point it to the downloaded file (it should be next to wherever it opens the explorer)

[fallen scaffold]

Did, both of them nothing changes

[green prism]

How can I create a 5-rows chest inventory?

45 doesn't really work

[lilac dagger]

why not?

[dire marsh]

what does "doesn't really work" mean

[lilac dagger]

5 row chest is glitchy

[green prism]

It means that Bukkit.createInventory(owner, 45, null)
Returns a null inventory

[lilac dagger]

you're creating the inventory wrong

i think

[slender elbow]

choosing the sources manually should most certainly fix it

and, well

i ran out of ideas besides "it works on my machine"

[lilac dagger]

Bukkit.createInventory(null, 45, "Test")

try this

yeah, the title can't be null

and using the inventory holder is usually misused

[tardy delta]

TILEENTITY?

[fallen scaffold]

Nothing change.. :c

[lilac dagger]

click on the error

let us see which error you're getting

[fallen scaffold]

Its the error commes when download resouce from the jar itself:

[lilac dagger]

you have read only

where are your projects located?

[fallen scaffold]

the project is local on my machine

[lilac dagger]

okay, but where?

because it seems like it's in a permission area or it has read only flag

[fallen scaffold]

let me see

[slender elbow]

might be something inside the project's .idea

wouldn't know which file exactly

[fallen scaffold]

Hmm. the mark means write protection. But i don´t think thats the problem

[lilac dagger]

probably not

[wet breach]

https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/general-threading-rules.html#read-access

seems the write protection is the issue

probably would had helped if you visited the link the error gave you

[sharp heart]

Hello, do someone know how to play animation with packets (eat, drink, use bow... etc) ?

[tardy delta]

player action 0x21? doubt it tho

[fallen scaffold]

What do you mean, that only the problem when im trying to download the source from the file itself. i had the source file to it shout not ne that problem

[sharp heart]

Nop

[tardy delta]

dunno, could be useful looking at wiki.vg

[sharp heart]

I'm looking at, but I've found nothing

[tardy delta]

could be that some things are client side too

[tepid flicker]

anyone know how I would go about making a custom crops/plant plugin? I have been trying for while now and theres always errors.

[tacit arrow]

Probably use a existing crop like wheat and change its meta data.
I think if you have custom meta data you can make a custom texture pack for it.

[gentle inlet]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[chrome beacon]

You're going to have to be more specific than that

[charred blaze]

how do i make some entity sit on me? (player)

player.getPassengers().add(display);

i have tried this

[eternal night]

read the javadocs on that method

[lilac dagger]

that's only for processing

you can't add

[eternal night]

The returned list will not be directly linked to the entity's current passengers, and no guarantees are made as to its mutability.

specifically ^

and then use Entity#addPassanger

[charred blaze]

oh ok

ItemDisplay display = location.getWorld().spawn(location, ItemDisplay.class);
player.addPassenger(display);

this doesnt work?

[inner mulch]

Use customblockdata

This allows you to save data to blocks

[icy beacon]

ocp ocp

[inner mulch]

😔

[polar forge]

Guys no WorldEdit for Spigot?

[eager turtle]

After running some tests it does appear that Entity.damage() does account for armor!

[tardy delta]

indeed

wait

thought you said doesnt

[eager turtle]

no it does now

at least in 1.20.6

i remember it used to not

[pliant topaz]

there is

[polar forge]

Could u send me a link?

[pliant topaz]

first google search

As Paper builds upon Spigot and Spigot upon Bukkit, Bukkit plugins are compatible with Spigot and Paper, Spigot plugins with paper

[eager turtle]

https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/worldedit/files/5326355 just tested this version for 1.20.6 works fine

bukkit/spigot same thing

[tardy delta]

^

[eager turtle]

is there a way I can attach a custom Enum to an event i trigger in my code?

or even just a number

then get that later

[polar forge]

Thx <333

[eager turtle]

nvm just gonna use a wrapper for the event

unless theres a way lol

[pliant topaz]

what did i say xd

[polar forge]

Hey guys

So I get Bozo was last seen on blah blah, but he never joined the server

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

Here’s where I code for this

I would like to remove the Was Last seen on

And put that only if a player was fr seen on a date

[chrome beacon]

well.. just check if they've played before

[polar forge]

That’s what I coded

if (!target.hasPlayedBefore)

[chrome beacon]

yeah I know it's in your code

but the logic isn't quite right

You don't want to send last seen when they haven't played before

[polar forge]

Yea

Only that Bozo was never seen on this server

[polar forge]

Wdym?

Should I remove it from the brackets of the command?

I don’t understand

[chrome beacon]

Just don't send the message if they haven't played before

[merry cove]

Is there some manual for nms for dummies? I have been making pluginhs for a few years but havn't touched nms yet. wanted to mess a bit with path goals etc with mobs, but am a bit confused on how I compile or "finailize" the plugin for use?

someone said I use a different compiler for it which confused me.

[celest nacelle]

Hello, how do I give a phantom gravity so it falls out the sky?

[inner mulch]

1. set its velocity to go down
2. calc nearest block down and teleport it
3. set a really high amount of levitation (not sure how mcuh exactly) and it will levitate in the opposite

[dawn flower]

why is it that if i use streams for admin-only messages, it doesn't send it but if i use for loops it sends it

Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().stream()
  .filter(player -> player.hasPermission("plugins.alert"))
  .forEach(player -> player.sendMessage(...);```

it used to work with for loops

[tardy delta]

should work

[dawn flower]

nope

[rapid vigil]

comment that and do the exact same with a for loop in its place, see if that works

[dawn flower]

im pretty sure it'll work cuz i tried it afew minutes ago but i'll try again

[tardy delta]

show the for loop

[wooden frost]

Can anyone please give a good tutorial on how to add custom enchants 1.20+ (sorry if repeating myself :( )

[rapid vigil]

You can add a "fake" enchantment. Give it a lore with the enchantment name and use PDC to keep track of that item, when the player uses it in your desired event check if it has that PDC and if it does, do your thing

[wooden frost]

is there a way to make an enchant that would be in the enchanting table?

[dawn flower]

oh wait my dumbass was doing !player.hasPermission(...) in the for loop before and forgot to give owner rank the permission

[rapid vigil]

exactly why I told you to do the same functionality with a for loop instead :)

[clear elm]

is there a vault discord

[dawn flower]

speaking of that, how do u give ranks full perms

* just gives me some perms but not all

[rapid vigil]

if you want to give all perms, you should preferably op them

[tardy delta]

iirc * has never had any semantic meaning

yes

[rough ibex]

mhmmm

* is a bad idea

lucko has said stuff against it at some point

[wooden frost]

is there a way to make an enchant that would be in the enchanting table?

[dawn flower]

that's just *, it gives minecraft commands and some perms that does default: op

[rapid vigil]

Not that I know of

[dawn flower]

if u register one it shows up pretty sure

[rapid vigil]

op will give all perms except ones that are set to false by default

[dawn flower]

otherwise there wouldnt be a single reason to register an enchant vs use pdc

[remote swallow]

no

never use star perms

[dawn flower]

why

its only for owner 🤷‍♂️

[remote swallow]

some plugins have features eg as disabling a feature. by giving that permission you might be accidentally disabling a feature

[dawn flower]

ah

[stoic summit]

anyone could help me compiling

a src of plugin

or can compile it for me

[lilac dagger]

but it's not that hard

[stoic summit]

i asked 9 people

[lilac dagger]

😄

[stoic summit]

they denied

:(

[lilac dagger]

try eclipse

[stoic summit]

actually

[lilac dagger]

it's easier to compile

[stoic summit]

idk anything

about these

im just a fresher

;=;

[lilac dagger]

i started coding with eclipse from scratch

it's possible

[stoic summit]

can u compile it for me

[stoic summit]

how

;=;

saturn

[trim scarab]

Hi @dreamy sleet

[stoic summit]

;-;

[chrome beacon]

Just buy the plugin

[stoic summit]

?

[trim scarab]

Jesse is mocking you @stoic summit

[stoic summit]

where

[stoic summit]

are u geese

:)

;-;

[quiet ice]

that is the last suggestion I expected to see here

[stoic summit]

;=-;

[slender elbow]

Doctor Java

[stoic summit]

;-;

[lilac dagger]

well, eclipse is easier to compile with

you don't need to set up a jdk

you just export as jar or something like that

and you're mostly good to go

[chrome beacon]

Intellij can do that too

[quiet ice]

I suppose so, but IJ should automatically download a JDK on first start

[chrome beacon]

^^

[lilac dagger]

i don't remember this

i just set my own

[quiet ice]

Well I remember this because in the IJ flatpak it's impossible to bring your own JDK

[dawn flower]

eclipse is very beginner friendly with it's 1970s looks

[quiet ice]

stupidest choice ever but https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/sandboxing_cycle.png I guess

[dawn flower]

windows 95 ui looks more modern than eclipse

oh wait eclipse is here cough

how do i get the plugin that owns the command from this Bukkit.getCommandMap().getCommand(command)

[lilac dagger]

i agree

[dawn flower]

also i noticed that even if you remove commands from PlayerCommandSendEvent and someone tries to execute it, it still executes

[lilac dagger]

but i guess intellij looks modern too

[dawn flower]

which means with a simple bruteforcer with all popular plugins it could theoratically get bruteforced

[dawn flower]

the difference between eclipse's modernity and idea's modernity is the difference between the temprature of the earth and the temprature of the sun

at least it doesnt pop up with bs "CoPiLoT" every second

[lilac dagger]

people here use eclipse

like choco

nothing wrong with it

[remote swallow]

coll uses it too

[stoic summit]

hey can u compile?

[dawn flower]

nothing's wrong but intellij looks more modern

(in terms of design)

[lilac dagger]

i can, but if it's premium plugin i won't @stoic summit

[quiet ice]

even Elgar uses it (although that should be to noone's surprise)

[dawn flower]

why tho

[quiet ice]

they are being gaslit over at the recaf discord, don't worry

[dawn flower]

how tf do u even manage to get the source code of a premium plugin (stolen) but cant compile it

[quiet ice]

It's open source: https://github.com/Darkxx14/FFA

[dawn flower]

then compile it for him

[quiet ice]

Bruh, as if I'm gonna run gradle buildscripts I am unfamilliar with

[dawn flower]

dawg

u can get hacked from compiling?

[quiet ice]

yes

[dawn flower]

cough

i think im screwed

how tho? during the compilation process it doesn't run the file

[quiet ice]

I could verify the wrapper or install gradle manually, but I ain't gonna do that

[dawn flower]

if i do it through intellij would it be safe

[quiet ice]

it executes the buildscript using the gradle wrapper. Both are potential attack vectors.

Doesn't IJ warn you of this when importing gradle projects?

[lilac dagger]

this is so weird about gradle

[dawn flower]

idk

[lilac dagger]

the tools are so dangerous, maven is so much more safe

[valid basin]

How can I inject user data into my plugin when a customer downloads it?

[dawn flower]

who even doesnt compile their stuff and give it to people

[valid basin]

I see some plugins doing it

[dawn flower]

u mean spying on your customer?

[quiet ice]

it's a commercial application

[dawn flower]

use bStats

[quiet ice]

probably as a mean of verifying/tracing a purchase

[dawn flower]

legal way to spy on ur customers

oh wait

[valid basin]

Yeah, and also just so I can see the user id when checking if the server is using leaked resource

[dawn flower]

ah

im pretty sure bStats gives u that info

[slender elbow]

use your local installation?

the exact same problem exists with maven fwiw

[dawn flower]

but bStats can be disabled, ur better off just DMCA takedown all leaked resources

[quiet ice]

Don't have any. Kinda pointless under gradle as it bricks every few weeks. Where as maven does not

[slender elbow]

gradle bricks?

that's news to me

[quiet ice]

Well gradle 7 won't compile gradle 8 projects, and so on and so forth

[valid basin]

Bro I mean the user id from spigot into my plugin. I'm looking if anyone knows a way I can easily inject it to grab the user id

[slender elbow]

not strictly true but sure

[valid basin]

bstats don't have that feature

[dawn flower]

tfdym user id

[valid basin]

I'd make a license system if it was allowed but it's against spigotmc rules

[eternal night]

gradle 8 was released two full years after gradle 7

[valid basin]

authors/perrier.1399540/ example

[eternal night]

idk I mean, if you are worried about gradle wrapper binary being compromised, they have a sha256 hash endpoint

[quiet ice]

well there are also java compatibility considerations and more

[valid basin]

last numbers are user id

[dawn flower]

yeah ic

[quiet ice]

Well but that is more than 10 seconds of work

[eternal night]

Right

mb mb

[dawn flower]

if they have the jar file they can just reverse engineer it (they all do), you could also do a discord thingi with /verify <userid> and if ur verified u download the plugin from there (not sure if spigot would like that)

this way u could have all user ids that own ur plugin

[lilac dagger]

check premium placeholders

[valid basin]

appreciate it bro

[valid basin]

That's true, but still some protection is better than none ykwim

[slender elbow]

god forbid you work in any collaborative project

[valid basin]

As u said DMCA probably works the best

[quiet ice]

Well if it put's you at ease: I don't.

[remote swallow]

lynx you should totally check build tooling support

[eternal night]

I did

I saw pineapple

[quiet ice]

(this is also the reason I will almost instantly accept PRs to most of my repos if they LGTM)

[eternal night]

I left

[slender elbow]

pineapply

[remote swallow]

smh

[eternal night]

new version of apply patches

[young knoll]

Them pineapple nerds can’t figure stuff out themselves? Smh

[remote swallow]

i just wanna have a normal shadow jar task time

[eternal night]

but nah, I have not run into that issue so I didn't have any comment

give --debug a go

it should publish a report with like, timings split up

[remote swallow]

it looks like its a load of aquiring and releasing workers

Have you tried asking nicely for it to go faster

[remote swallow]

yeah

[young knoll]

63 jars?

i even gave it 8gb of ram

[young knoll]

Das a lot of jars

Packing half of maven central in to that thing

[remote swallow]

nah

got have my logging

wtf is it exposed

[slender elbow]

impossible

[remote swallow]

no its open

i havent pushed in 6 months but hey ho

Oh then do an even bigger brain move and download all the dependencies at runtime using https://github.com/stianloader/PicoResolve

[remote swallow]

i could actually do that

would def make me build quicker

how would you spawn vex's that dont attack you but attack others?

[young knoll]

Add a pdc tag or use some kind of map to save who they shouldn’t attack

And then cancel the target event

[worthy yarrow]

Probably some sort of chat bot to reply to you because you’re so lonely coding a chat bot

explain the "hand position"

[dawn flower]

i want the x, y, z of this thing

just like "eye position"

[vast ledge]

I dont thnk you can get that..

Animations are handled Client side

not the animation

i just want the position of the hand

[young knoll]

You can approximate it with some maths

When you're making a mini game, how do you handle multiple instances of the map? Do you make separate worlds, or paste the map multiple times within one world? Or do you make a "virtual world" which is not even a real world file?

[eternal oxide]

It depends

on teh size of yoru game

loading and unloading worlds is costly, soyou want to avoid it if at all possible

spreading out instances in a world is a good way to avoid that.

slowly restore an area after the game is finshed.

once done you flag it as available for the next game

[wet breach]

What do you mean by map?

[ornate heron]

could be like a duels arena, or like skywars

[languid trout]

does anyone have a list or resource for changes coming in 1.21?

from a plugin dev perspective

[wet breach]

What most do is to keep a master of the world. Make a copy of master and load the copy. Then unload the map that was destroyed. You need a lobby server or world.

im having problems including a library and chatgpt literally told me to go ask to a gradle community. im trying to parse json, im using the kotlin-xserialization-json library, but apparently its not being shadowed into the final jar for some reason, even tho it is doing it for some other dependencies. im doing it in kotlin btw, idk if that matters. there is no output if i do theplugin.jar -tf | grep serialization. this is the build.gradle.kts file

the error is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: kotlinx/serialization/json/Json in case i wasnt clear

why do all CombatLogX addons say " Jar does not contain plugin.yml"

when i try to load my server, all of the extra addons i added to the server just dont load

combatlogx works fine

[carmine mica]

I'm guessing they aren't supposed to be loaded as plugins, but through some other system specific to combatlogx

[drifting ice]

last time i used combatlogx, i just dragged and dropped all of the extra addon plugins directly into the plugins folder and it worked, im not really sure whats up with it

it didnt work when i tried recreating the "expansions" folder and putting the plugins in

[unique shuttle]

Hello! I would like to know if there is any change in PersistentDataContainer in version 1.20.6.

I have a problem in that in this method where I return an ItemStack, I assign a value to the key "entity_type". I assign the value "pig", so in that broadcast that says "saved value:", it has the value "pig", but then when I check the value again in the place where I call that method, it returns null. Do you know why this happens? I am also including the getStringData method for you to see. Thank you :)

It's pseudocode of what happens, it's not the actual code, which is why there isn't a PersistentDataContainer.set after getting the PersistentDataContainer from the ItemMeta, but in my real code, it is there.

[eternal oxide]

Nothing wrong with your pseudocode. So long as you are updating teh ItemStack instance

[unique shuttle]

I tested it in 1.20.2 - 1.20.4 and it works fine, but in 1.20.6 it doesn't. I would like to know if there is any change or if it's a bug in Spigot?

[autumn cave]

Did spigot 1.20.6 remove ChatColor, GameMode, Material? All I did is update 1.20.4 →1.20.6 and now a few classes are not found:

[eager turtle]

@echo basalt so i was implementing your tracker today and using a custom Wrapper of EntityDamageByEntityEvent that just also stores the special Weapon involved in the damaging if there was one. It works great for everything and for things like my gust spell when i just create my own EntityDamageByEntityEvent and Wrap it with the gust sword weapon and send it to the tracker. But the issue is when I try to use entity.damage() along with my gust spell that fires its own EntityDamageByEntityEvent and then inside of that listener i end up sending another Wrapper to the tracker just from using the damage() method. So basically its causing an extra entry to be made when there was only one attack. So i dont know how to basically ignore the event or just not trigger the event caused by damage(). I could just use that one and not send my own to the tracker but then I have to same issue of not being able to attach my Weapon to the event

And obviously i could just subtract the health manually but i want to account for armor and stuff and damage() does automatically

I was thinking maybe ill just attach something stupid to the entity.damage() like this and in my listener just not send a Wrapper to the tracker for this specific damage because it wouldnt be from an entity anyways. But there has to be a better way lol

wait i think im so stupid. this entire time ive been doing entity.damage(10, killer)

but you dont even need to add a second param

thus it wont have any entity attached and wont get sent to the tracker

sometimes it really helps to just type things out sorry all

@autumn cave

[pliant topaz]

I have an enum and each one stores some unique values. I created a method which returns an itemStack with these values which works fine, except for PersistentData. It gets written to the itemStack correctly, the only problem I have is when I get a new instance using the method from the enum (which writes the default values to the itemStack) the PersistentData is the same as the one before (the PersistentData of the before one has been modified). Shouldn't it be item specific or am I doing something wrong?

(If u need the code I'll try providing it, I'm currently on vacation so over mobile I might take a while)

And then just filter out by it

No clue about the rest

[pliant topaz]

but material isn't just blocks

[smoky anchor]

Is it finally happening ?

[echo basalt]

I believe so

[smoky anchor]

Lesgooo

[echo basalt]

ItemType idk

[pliant topaz]

also deprecated

but there isn't info about what it got replaced with on the docs

[glad prawn]

While this API is in a public interface, it is not intended for use by plugins until further notice. The purpose of these types is to make Material more maintenance friendly, but will in due time be the official replacement for the aforementioned enum. Entirely incompatible changes may occur. Do not use this API in plugins.

[pliant topaz]

okay no, Material it still is

interesting

gotta change half my plugins updating it 💀

[short drift]

So, negative spaces can move text horizontally towards left.
But.
How do I move reliably and consistently text horizontally towards right - to position text, symbols, and graphics?

Do I just spam space characters?

[drowsy helm]

you can get positive spaced charactesr aswell

most negative space fonts have positive aswell

[short drift]

Oh, I see. So I should do that.

[drowsy helm]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/negative-space-font-resource-pack.440952/ has both

[short drift]

Well, I just thought I'd do this:

{
    "providers": [
        {
          "type": "space",
          "advances": {
            "\uF101": -1,
            "\uF102": -2,
            "\uF103": -3,
            "\uF104": -4,
            "\uF105": -5,
            "\uF106": -6,
            "\uF107": -7,
            "\uF108": -8,
            "\uF109": -9,
            "\uF111": 1,
            "\uF112": 2,
            "\uF113": 3,
            "\uF114": 4,

            "\uF118": 8,
            "\uF119": 9
          }
        },

Should work, right?

[drowsy helm]

didnt even know that was a thing lol

[short drift]

Yeah, then you can just do something like:

It's pretty handy.

[drowsy helm]

use an enum

[short drift]

Although dealing with strings might have been a mistake.

Right, exactly.

I really should.

[drowsy helm]

https://github.com/MitchGB/CustomInventoryUI/blob/main/src/main/java/com/buby/custominventoryui/CharRepo.java

this is how i implement mine

[short drift]

I didn't even know enums in Java can do that. I mainly use C#. Thanks for the tip.

[short drift]

@drowsy helmWell, I tried that and I can't find any errors in my syntax, but:

[drowsy helm]

you dont have a constructor

[short drift]

Oh, I see. It is required explicitly for enums?

[drowsy helm]

yeah it doesn't know what the string is by default

just like a class

[blazing ocean]

i just made an appendNegativeSpace(Short) method on my component builder that appends a translatable

[normal canopy]

How to get the player you are teleporting to in spectator mode?

[echo basalt]

new project time

[pseudo hazel]

i have a question, how do you know which unicodes are available/not really used normally? I am resorting to using weird emojis cuz idk what characters I can reliably use for it

[eager turtle]

Idk if this will help you but make sure you arent using valueOf for getting the enums

It’s different than the actual name string you might have put in the constructor

Idk how you are doing it exactly

[drowsy helm]

By the unicode standard i think like plane 4-13 are unsued, but minecraft only has a few thousand or so printable unicode chars so theres heaps of unused planes

I tend to use F-E range, you wont get many clashes, if any

[pseudo hazel]

I see

[eager turtle]

Yeah thats what i was gonna do but actually just using entity.damage(float) worked for me because it doesnt pass along a damager entity by default

[drowsy helm]

yeah chatgpt says "BMP Private Use Area: U+E000 to U+F8FF"

[pseudo hazel]

aha

nice, thanks

[eager turtle]

Some dumb reason i kept putting entity.damage(float, killer) and was pissed the event had the killer 😂

Its working really really good now tho

Appreciate you sharing that with me it helps to see data structures like that

[pliant topaz]

nope, not using that, thx tho, I'll try providing my code as soon as I can (prob tomorrow or somethin unfortunately)

[pseudo hazel]

without code its not really possible to determine what you did, like how you actually save the pdc to the item or how the enum stores this information

[eager turtle]

Also for everyone tweaking about no material in 1.20.6 this has been brought up so many times and the answer is your intellij or java jdk needs to be updated

Google imports not working 1.20.6 and the first thread is pretty much what you are all asking

[charred blaze]

if i set itemmeta of item will persistentdata reset?

[pseudo hazel]

if that meta doesnt have the updated pdc, then it will get reset

the itemmeta contains the pdc so if you use a different meta, the pdc will also be changed

[charred blaze]

bruh

[pseudo hazel]

but if you do getItemMeta/setItemMeta it should retain everything except the changes

[charred blaze]

mhm

[pseudo hazel]

a way to look at it is that the meta contains everything thats not in the itemstack and is persistent, and the pdc is a part of that meta that you can put stuff in

[clear elm]

how can i send a message with this color code ? &#2B7416

[pseudo hazel]

you mean from code?

player.spigot.sendMessage(ChatColor.of("#2B7416") + "my message")

there are better ways but this is the easiest one to explain

make sure to use the bungee chat color version, not the bukkit one

[clear elm]

okay

[pseudo hazel]

ideally you would make a message using the chat components from bungee like new TextComponent and then color it

or using the ComponentBuilder

[clear elm]

inv.setItem(10, new ItemBuilder(Material.EMERALD).setDisplayname(ChatColor.of("&#2B7416") + "ᴍᴏɴᴇʏ ʟᴇᴀᴅᴇʀʙᴏᴀʀᴅ")

why is this wrong

this is in a gui

[eternal oxide]

setDisplayName does not return an ItemStack

[drowsy helm]

item builder

[eternal oxide]

and a builder normally requires you to actually .build()

[clear elm]

now it works i removed the first &

[eternal oxide]

ok I was way off base then

[eternal oxide]

yeah but a Builder "should" return teh Builder until you call .build()

[polar forge]

Hey guys

I would need help in a plugin

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

So I’m making a Last and Seen plugin

[charred blaze]

this doesnt seem to work

[hazy parrot]

It sure doesn't

[polar forge]

When I send /firstseen Egitto in game, it sends 3 times this

[hazy parrot]

getItemMeta returns copy

[polar forge]

How do I solve it?

[charred blaze]

meh

[tardy delta]

setItemMeta

[young knoll]

You are sending the messages inside a loop

Idk what the loop is doing but my guess is that it loops 3 times

[tardy delta]

also why not getString(join_date_players. target.getUniqueId())

[polar forge]

I got also a LastSeenCommand class

But it only works when someone does /lastseen

So not possible

[polar forge]

Yea this would be nicer

[short drift]

So, anyway.
Is it possible to override existing Minecraft commands?

I was thinking I'd like add an announcement + delay to server restart. But I would prefer to keep the /restart command.

Instead of coming up with new names I can't remember.

[sullen marlin]

Plugin commands should generally override

[short drift]

Oh, hey md_5.
Okay, so I intercept commands going to /restart, I cancel that, and then I reroute the command to my own differently named command? Or can I directly hijack the command?

[drowsy helm]

restart is a bukkit command, not sure if you can override them the same way

[short drift]

A bit hazy on the details there.

Is that so? 🤔

[pseudo hazel]

its not vanilla atleast

[shadow night]

Get it from the command map and override fr fr

[short drift]

Command map. Hm. I will look into that. Thanks.

[polar forge]

Question, ok, in the .yml file, the players are stored with their UUID, but when a player sends the command he won’t write the uuid. And the plugin now checks if the section is the same as args[0] what do I do?

[tardy delta]

sends what command

[drowsy helm]

get player by name, then their uuid

[tardy delta]

ah

Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(args[0]).getUniqueId()

dunno the semantics of that method

[short drift]

        if (args.length == 1) {

            UUID playerUUID = null;
            for (OfflinePlayer player : Bukkit.getOfflinePlayers()) {
                var playerName = player.getName();
                if (playerName == null) {
                    continue;
                }

                if (playerName.equalsIgnoreCase(args[0])) {
                    playerUUID = player.getUniqueId();
                    break;
                }
            }

            if (playerUUID == null) {
                sender.sendMessage("Player not found: " + args[0]);
                return false;
            }

You can do it like this.

[tardy delta]

oh god

[short drift]

With this method you have to iterate the collection, but you avoid using deprecated methods.

[drowsy helm]

why would you do that

lmao

[short drift]

To avoid using deprecated methods.

[tardy delta]

i mean the deprecated method aint gonna get removed

[drowsy helm]

at twice the cost

[tardy delta]

dunno if that was the one that could do a mojang lookup

[short drift]

But it is deprecated. I'm sure md_5 & co know what they're doing.

Or who who ever keeps deprecating useful methods.

[tardy delta]

theres no forRemoval=true

[drowsy helm]

It's only deprecated because seraching a player by name isnt reliable

its not going to be removed

[short drift]

Of course you can do it any way you want. Just an example.

[drowsy helm]

and your method functionally odes the same thing, less efficiently

[eternal night]

If only the reason for the deprecation was described in the javadocs

[drowsy helm]

Persistent storage of users should be by UUID as names are no longer unique past a single session.

[short drift]

It's amazing. It's been 8 years since I last modded Minecraft and the Javadocs are ... nobody has done anything to improve usability during that time.

[eternal night]

[polar forge]

I meant

It must be concerted from getName to UUID, since in the config, the players is saved in UUID

players sends /firstseen Egitto, Egitto must be converted to UUID, checks if the UUID matches any UUID in the file, if so, sender.sendMessage Egitto was…..

[short drift]

Well the command in question I drew the example from was a ban command, and I'm not going to write/copy paste UUIDs to ban people. That's just not happening.

So this is the best I can do.

[polar forge]

I’ll try.

But I guess it won’t work

[young knoll]

You can always run it async

In case it does make the blocking web request

[pseudo hazel]

not all deprecated methods have alternatives, so sometimes methods are deprecated because they had nothing better to do I guess or because it uses magic numbers, but are still perfectly usable

[short drift]

If something is marked deprecated in the API, I'm not touching it.

[pseudo hazel]

then you might get issues with some more advanced stuff

I think the meaning of deprecated differs wherever its used xD

[drowsy helm]

its more to scare off people who dont know what they're doing

[eternal night]

I mean, the non deprecated solution here is to just Bukkit.createPlayerProfile(name).update().thenAccept

[echo basalt]

having a fun argument at work rn

[short drift]

🤔 Interesting.

[eternal night]

tho that will be a web request

[short drift]

Oh.

[eternal night]

Well as much of a web request as getOfflinePlayer would have to be

[short drift]

I think I will stick with my "inefficient for loop".

[eternal night]

it is terrible tho

[short drift]

Yes, it is pretty terrible.

[pseudo hazel]

sometimes terrible is good enough

[eternal night]

no like, that loop is so inefficient, I think a web request is going to be faster

[short drift]

But I don't expect to ban people every 20 seconds, so it will be fine.

[pseudo hazel]

it works terribly, but it works

[eternal night]

Well it'll hang your main thread

given the method has to read all player profiles from disk

[short drift]

How many can there be.

[eternal night]

Unless you clear them, as many as your server had unique logins

[pseudo hazel]

depends how many different players logged into the server

[short drift]

My point exactly.

[eternal night]

which, that can be a number skyrocketing quickly

what

[short drift]

I mean, ok. Maybe I'll check out your suggestion. I guess it would the adde benefit of being able to ban people who have never visited the server.

[polar forge]

It tells me Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer() as being deprecated 💀

[eternal night]

just use the createPlayerProfile thing. Its going to use the profile cache if filled so like, if they are online, you are good too

[short drift]

As long as the servers are not down.

That would be embarrassing trying to ban someone and not being able to because Mojang servers are down.

[drowsy helm]

have you missed the conversation for the last 10 mins

[echo basalt]

is it me or has 7smile7 not been around lately

[drowsy helm]

he was on yesterday

[echo basalt]

and like 10 days ago

[eternal night]

If they are online, it would work without mojang servers. If they aren't you should really be doing a web request for banning anyway

[short drift]

I mean, why though?

[eternal night]

I can just change my name? xD

[short drift]

But it wouldn't change in offline players. I get the stored UUID based on the name.

[eternal night]

Maybe someone else took my name

and now you ban me

[short drift]

But still, it would have the UUID ..

[echo basalt]

IIRC at work we had a layered system to do UUID lookups :)

[eternal night]

Well if my offline player record on your server has the name "lynxplay", and now someone else has that name, you have two offline plaeyrs

do you ban both?

my old data file isn't going to get updated

[short drift]

I mean. My understanding is:

1. Person has never visited the server.
2. I check the offline players.
3. Obviously the person is not there.
4. The person logs in, does bad stuff, and leaves.
5. Now his data is forever unchanged in offlineplayers unless he logs back in.

So... what's the problem with that?

[eternal night]

I log onto your server in 2019 with my name "lynxplay"

I log off

change my name to ehh, lynxplayButCool

[short drift]

Yes. Your UUID is stored and same.

[eternal night]

in 2024 someone takes lynxplay

joins

you iterate over all offline player profiles, there are two with the name lynxplay

you are fucked

[short drift]

And UUID would not match.

[eternal night]

okay?

but you don't check with uuid

you check with name

[short drift]

But I do.

It was in the example.

[eternal night]

did I miss something?

[short drift]

Yes, I think you did.

It has the getUniqueId call.

[eternal night]

you don't compare that to anything

because your caller only passes in a name

you have nothing to compare that to

[short drift]

If it's not null, I ban the bastard.

It wouldn't change on its own on the disc.

[eternal night]

Yea, what if your loop first runs into my old profile on your server with the name "lynxplay".

Which is outdated, my current name is "lynxplayButCool"

but I haven't joined your server since I changed the name

you are trying to ban coll, who changes his name to "lynxplay" since its now free

but your for loop first picks up on my old offline player profile that is outdated, it grabs my uuid and then bans me

[short drift]

I guess we can all agree it's complicated.

Much more so than I originally expected.

[eternal night]

Yea I mean, preferably the only people you ban by name is people currently online

if you ban people offline, you have to do so by uuid

[short drift]

That's a good point.

@eternal nightWhat was the "thenAccept" ?

[eternal night]

PlayerProfile#update yields you a completable future

CompletableFuture#thenAccept is invoked once the future is completed

[short drift]

Ah.

Does it need an action or do I just pass null to it?

"Action to perform before completing"

[eternal night]

Well you'd pass a Consumer<PlayerProfile>

which is invoked with the "updated" player profile

e.g. the one with uuid filled

[short drift]

On a second thought a web call wouldn't really help with the issues we discussed.
I suppose the ban command should just refuse to ban the person without UUID if that person is offline.

[eternal night]

Yea

[short drift]

But it's incredibly inconvenient.

[eternal night]

which is why usually your entire system (e.g. reports and whatever) all store uuids

they can display names for sure

but the actual banning should be done by uuid

[humble lynx]

I want to check if a player is at a certain location (example: between x:100 and z:100)
Instead of watching over the player move event, would it be better for me to run a task timer every 10-15 secs to see if the player is at the location, or monitor the PlayerMoveEvent?

I'm just using the above as an example, as I plan on doing this for a few regions

[short drift]

PlayerMoveEvent can be incredibly taxing.

[eternal oxide]

if (event.getFrom().getBlock() == event.getTo().getBlock()) reeturn;

[short drift]

But on the other hand, you can do a lot of cool stuff with it.

[humble lynx]

I'm aware, but I know I can limit the amount of calls to it. I could probably make a custom event to somehow 'run' a call of player move event every x seconds (I guess a combination of timer & event)

[humble lynx]

Would this be more efficient than running a timer though?
Because doing this check every time a player moves a block vs checking all online players every 10-15 secs

actually maybe there's a chunk event or something I can look into

[eternal oxide]

depends what exactly you want to do

[short drift]

You could probably check all online players every 10 ticks, if you wanted to, with no problems.

[humble lynx]

It's just for a quest plugin, once a player reaches a certain area it would mark the quest objective done and move them to the next objective

[short drift]

I would likely use a timer or a hook from WorldGuard or something.

[eternal oxide]

I'd just do it in the move event. It has already fired, both locations and blocks are already in memory. and early ext and a simple check is not heavy

[wet breach]

the problem with the checkin all online players, is that the time to completion is linear. Thatt is, the more players that are on, the more time it takes to go through the list and so forth. Where as events you check the information the event gives and only when the event happens. Most of the time what you have going on in your listener isn't really causing that much of significant performance unless you start doing things that block or you running through massive lists first before the listern can be done with the event.

[short drift]

I guess you can do it however you want as long as you check what kind of performance impact it has.

[wet breach]

otherwise checking on player move some innocuous information isn't going to be detrimental

[humble lynx]

Yeah... my only checks would be to see if the player's quest objective is to meet at a location, other than that it wouldn't be too much. Thank ya'll

I just needed some convincing I think, I wouldn't want the player to miss out on the correct location during the timers being ticked

Imagine if it was a race, or a parkour of some sort, that would kinda suck

[brittle geyser]

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.bukkit.entity.Entity$Spigot.sendMessage(net.md_5.bungee.api.chat.BaseComponent)'
how i can replace sendMessage method, server version is 1.8, i need to use BaseComponent

[wet breach]

so all you need is a conditional check on the location to check against objective location. If it don't match early return it and let it move on

and only do something once its matches, doing it this way the impact is so insignificant you probably could barely measure it

except for when it matches

[humble lynx]

^Even easier, the objective condition is saved on player data, so just need to match the condition with the event, instead of grabbing any locations

[wet breach]

and to make it more convincing

the player move event location given is going to not match more often then it is going to match

therefore the code is most of the time doing nothing

[humble lynx]

Sweet, okay- that's all I needed for now. I love programming 😝

[brittle geyser]

When the 'void org.bukkit.entity.Entity$Spigot.sendMessage(net.md_5.bungee.api.chat.BaseComponent)' method was invented?

[pseudo hazel]

a while ago I think

how so?

[brittle geyser]

i need to know the version when this method was invented

[pseudo hazel]

idk then

[eternal oxide]

a long time ago

if you are unsure just use a little reflection to check it exists before you try to use it

[brittle geyser]

i need to know the version when this method was invented

U know?

[eternal oxide]

why?

[brittle geyser]

Dont answer to my question with questions

[eternal oxide]

as I said, just use reflection to see if it exists. If it does, use it, if not don;t use it

[brittle geyser]

Why do you need to know why I need it?

[brittle geyser]

Are you stupid?

[eternal oxide]

to see if you really need to know or you are just stuck on an idea]

[brittle geyser]

i cant not use it

[hazy parrot]

Look up commit history

[eternal oxide]

of course you can

reflection will tell you if it exists before you try to use it

[brittle geyser]

in my case, no

[brittle geyser]

Where is it

[eternal oxide]

eg```java
public static boolean hasUpdateCommand() {

    try {
        // Method only available post 1.14
        Player.class.getMethod("updateCommands");
        return true;
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        // Server too old to support updateCommands.
        return false;
    }
}```

[hazy parrot]

Spigot stash I would assume

[wet breach]

or just run git shell in the buildtools directory

[hazy parrot]

That can work too ig

[brittle geyser]

There is no search on spigot stash

[young knoll]

There is

[pseudo hazel]

seems to be from before 1.8 even

[sullen marlin]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that method is from 1.7 since json chat existed

[broken nacelle]

rude

[brittle geyser]

its not working in 1.11

and working in 1.12 and higher versions

[young knoll]

Well there ya go

1.12+

[eternal oxide]

It exists in 1.8.8

https://helpch.at/docs/1.8.8/org/bukkit/entity/Player.Spigot.html

its under Player.Spigot not Entity.Spigot

It was moved in 1.12 from Player.Spigot to CommandSender.Spigot

[brittle geyser]

ohh

thanks

[eternal oxide]

if you get it from Player.spigot().sendMessage it shoudl work in ALL versions

It will only work in 1.12+ from Entity.Spigot

[brittle geyser]

Its working, thanks!

[icy beacon]

Dead chat

Hi

[inner mulch]

why is this not possible :(

[slender elbow]

public <V, T extends V> void foo(Class<T> type) {
  ...
}

not that that is particularly useful

[inner mulch]

the class has V
the method has T

it returns T but ensures T is some kind of V
i do this because I want that depending on the type the casted class is returned

[unique shuttle]

BUMP

[slender elbow]

then you can do it in the generic basically like shown above, but extending the class' type parameter instead

[inner mulch]

oh this works?

ok

nice

thanks

[fair rock]

Idk if that helps, but since some version minecraft reworked the entire metadata stuff

[quasi gulch]

When i use InventoryView.getItem(Slot) it gives me an IndexOutOfBoundsException. How do i check if the slot is not out of bouds i thought it would just return null if its out of bounds

[valid burrow]

inventory.getSize

[quasi gulch]

Thats for inventory not inventoryview

And the countSlots() says it can be bigger then the actual slots so idk if that works

I dont know what unsused inv slots are

[valid burrow]

.countSlots()
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/InventoryView.html
or you can even do getTopInventory() if you only want the top inventory
theres many ways
reading docs helps#

[quasi gulch]

Yeah i read it but what means the note

[valid burrow]

no clue how about u just use getTopInventory()

lol

[quasi gulch]

yeah ok thats actually smart thanks

[unique shuttle]

Did you find a solution? I suppose it happens in 1.20.6 just like it does for me. It's fine that the ItemMeta is a copy of the original, but I think it should also copy the data contained in the PersistentDataContainer

[turbid flame]

How to get item id from ItemStack?

because item.getType().getId() is depracted

[eternal oxide]

explain why you want the id?

[turbid flame]

Why should i tell you that? I just want that

[rare rover]

💀

[fair rock]

Because its outdated af

[eternal oxide]

because your answer may affect my answer

[turbid flame]

Yea no shit sherlock?

I didn't know thanks god you told me

[humble lynx]

Why are you being so rude

[eternal oxide]

Why is everyone so contrary today?

[turbid flame]

To get the Item.byId(int id);

Don't ask me pls why do i want Item instance

[humble lynx]

If you're asking about a 1.8 plugin I'm pretty sure there's a website that says how old it is now

[eternal oxide]

generally you'd only neeed an id for sending packets, so it would not be API, which is why I asked

[turbid flame]

I am using 1.18

[turbid flame]

I need data that is stored in class that extends Item and API does not provide acces to it

So could you now tell me if there is any not depracted way to get an id?

[eternal oxide]

then just use getId()

[pseudo hazel]

well its deprecated, but does it still work

[eternal oxide]

deprecated does not mean don't use

[pseudo hazel]

if it works youre good to go

deprecated usually means its an unorthodox way to do something

[turbid flame]

So there is not a not depracted way?

[eternal oxide]

no

[turbid flame]

Okay

Oh i forgot to tell something

@quiet ice you are bad at coding get better. Last time you were telling me why i should not extend InventoryHolder to identify Inventories, and now paper post https://docs.papermc.io/paper/dev/custom-inventory-holder that you SHOULD do that

[eternal oxide]

This is Spigot not Paper.

[turbid flame]

Or you just have no knowledge but you speak

Yea

I am pretty sure

Inventory system is VERY VERY similar

[eternal oxide]

Spigot says do not extend InventoryHolder

[quiet ice]

My source is @worldly ingot - I think. Blame him

[turbid flame]

Because it is coded by geol

[turbid flame]

We were talking with him also abt that, and he was telling that everyone in Hypixel Team understand it's bad idea but did not provide any justification

[quiet ice]

also, I have no clue who you are

[eternal oxide]

There are cloning issues with InventoryHolders

I have a feeling there is a Spigot post about it

[eternal night]

Yea there are cloning issues on spigot
