[young knoll]

I saw 330 in the announcements

But I guess that proves modern versions can still handle massive player counts if done right

[slender elbow]

that was probably just the first one, there was a second one with shy over 1k players

https://cubxity.dev/blog/folia-test-june-2023

[young knoll]

Ah

[wet breach]

I was told folia handled 1k, but I can't give specifics on like how well it did so

[slender elbow]

has all the juicy details

networking was 🔥

[wet breach]

So it seems stuff was still not optimal

[slender elbow]

well, it was only the second test, there were a lot of unknowns and lots of tuning to do

[wet breach]

the only way you can probably get an ideal setup without so much resource consumption would be to split up the main pieces in the server to be in their own applications

[young knoll]

Still 1000 is overkill

[slender elbow]

GC was a big concern but it ended up not being that big of a problem in the end

[young knoll]

Idk what server would actually want that many concurrent players

Imagine the chat spam

[slender elbow]

networking was the biggest bottleneck due to underallocating netty threads

[wet breach]

if there was anything to compare against it would be that gaming servers have always been able to handle 1k players in the past since like 2005 or so. But all the servers that have done this have one thing in common, the components are all split up even if ran on the same machine. That is, there is a login server, chat server, world server etc

[small valve]

Fixed my problem using jank

[sullen marlin]

DamageCause?

well if you used a source then yeah it wont be custom

but people wanted a method with a source exactly so plugins wouldnt be able to tell the difference lol

[young knoll]

Mission accomplished

It is now

[grand flint]

Can I send packets to hide the entity that is riding the player?

[young knoll]

Try it

It’s just Player#hideEntity

[fleet imp]

do inventories have handles that can identify them even if they have identical item data

[livid tundra]

can you save arrays to yaml files or do they have to be lists

[lilac dagger]

convert them to lists

no loss in doing it

[wraith delta]

public void saveStuff(String path, ArrayList<String> list) {
  config.set(path, list);
  saveConfig();
}

[lilac dagger]

or just config set path Arrays.asList(array);

[lament tree]

java 17 or 21 for 1.20.4 plugin development?

[young knoll]

17

[lilac dagger]

but you might wanna upgrade

so you might as well make it 21

[young knoll]

I mean you can use 17 for 1.20.6 too

As long as you aren’t using NMS

[lilac dagger]

you can sure

[wet breach]

I would recommend 21

[wise mulch]

You can't some Spigot classes are compiled against Java 21 in 1.20.6

I already tried this

[young knoll]

The api shouldn’t be

[lilac dagger]

i don't think the api is java 21 either

[wise mulch]

Error: LinkageError occurred while loading main class org.bukkit.craftbukkit.bootstrap.Main
        java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/bukkit/craftbukkit/bootstrap/Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 65.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 61.0

[lilac dagger]

but that's craftbukkit

🤔

oh

you're using java 17 to load up spigot?

[young knoll]

Yeah that won’t work

[wise mulch]

Yeah. I also tried to merely load a Spigot IJ workspace in 17, that failed too

[young knoll]

The api is still 17, I checked

[wise mulch]

Material uses Java 21 features that additionally required me to update IntelliJ

[young knoll]

<maven.compiler.release>17</maven.compiler.release>

Heck the fact it’s 17 is kinda crazy

Up until recently it was 8

[wise mulch]

Literally how

[lilac dagger]

the api probably can still be java 8

it's not doing anything fancy

just a bunch of interfaces

[young knoll]

Nah it needs at least 9

[lilac dagger]

why is that?

[livid tundra]

no, not an arraylist, can you save stuff like String[] to a yaml file and get it back without having to convert it?

[lilac dagger]

i forgot what they added din 9

[young knoll]

Private methods in interfaces iirc

[lilac dagger]

ah

wait, what are those for?

[young knoll]

We had a bunch of PRs that needed that and bumped it to 9, but MD decided to just go to 17

ItemType and BlockType have private static methods for example

[lilac dagger]

i see

well, it makes sense then

[wet breach]

what you compile against doesn't need to be same on the jvm used to load the server. You can compile on 17 if all you are depending against is the api. However, it may still be necessary for someone to use a higher version of java to run the server.

lower versions of java generally can be loaded by higher versions

[wise mulch]

Compile an API using Java 1 Troll

[wet breach]

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-archive-downloads-javase11-downloads.html

if you really want to

[lilac dagger]

no way there are still links for it available

[slender elbow]

yep

[wet breach]

it should be possible

just have to modify their permissions

probably shouldn't add them as a contributor

interesting, this is probably one of the reasons I run my own git repos usually

well there is a variety of ways of doing it. You shouldn't assume that all big servers do it the same way

what big servers have that smaller servers don't is the fact they can have a dedicated developer or two

depends what is required, but anything that requires messing with NMS its going to cost you one way or another

you either comission for someone to make something or you have a dedicated developer you pay

there is however the exception if the server owner happens to be a developer 😛

but the cost then is your time

the problem you might encounter is controlling the enemies to inflict damage where you want them to. Other then that, everything else could be accomplished via api

this here, you can't control entity targeting as that is a goal selection

unless api has been updated to change it

but if api lets you control that, then sure may be possible via api only

and that should make things easier 🙂

also if this is for your own server

just remember this

you always have the option to modify the source 😉

[fierce salmon]

🤓

[wet breach]

this is what large servers do as well. Need something to be provided by the server, they just go ahead and modify the source where necessary

[fierce salmon]

He he he ha

[wet breach]

to include just incorporating the feature into the source

[fierce salmon]

@quaint mantle ur pfp looks ai generated

[wet breach]

configuration is only applicable if you need it to be first off and you want someone else to be able to control it

this makes sense to be configurable not because its sensitive information but that it can change later

well idk for items, but that is usually not necessary for other stuff lol

yeah probably best to not hard code that

makes it difficult to change params where necessary like if something is a bit op or whatever lol

I would just make a command to update the values from config

maybe sometimes this month I can update one of my plugins now that there is display entities and blocks

[fierce salmon]

What does display entities and blocks mean?

[wet breach]

one of my plugins that I haven't updated in years is called Server Tutorial

with display entities and blocks, it would just add to the features in how you could display tutorials

[wise mulch]

Does setting a block in a LimitedRegion trigger block updates?

[sullen marlin]

probably

why does it matter

[wise mulch]

I don't want to fire block updates when placing blocks

I could set a block in a World instance without it by supplying an update arg as false. But BlockPopulator advises NOT to get the world instance from it

But ever since populators now use LimitedRegion the option to not trigger a block update is gone, so I need to know if it does this before I rewrite my codebase.

Because if it can't I'm going to have to get the World anyways regardless of what the populator is telling me to do.

[sullen marlin]

well there's a boolean param to control that

[wise mulch]

It's not present in LimitedRegion's block setter, that's what I've been saying

[sullen marlin]

maybe there are no physics in LimitedRegion then

[wise mulch]

I'm gonna have to hope so

I'm just gonna wing it and do it anyways.

If it does end up triggering physics, where can I submit a feature request to give this boolean to LimitedRegion so it doesn't?

I'll be back in a little bit to report the results, I have to rewrite a lot of code to test this

[wet breach]

probably the jira

[lone jacinth]

LimitedRegion in BlockPopulator does not apply physics. If it for some reason does then that is a bug.

[slender elbow]

java

[tender shard]

kotlin

[wise mulch]

Thank you, this is the behavior I was hoping for

[marble hearth]

do you guys know how to make a portal tp you to somewhere else for example in my skyblock server i want a portal to tp the person to their island

[tender shard]

PlayerTeleportEvent, then check the TeleportCause - or maybe PlayerPortalEvent

then change the setTo location

[marble hearth]

is that a command

[tender shard]

no. This channel is for coding related questions

#help-server

[echo holly]

hey i have a question for using event calls between 2 different plugins. Im not fully understand what im ment to call. Im also not the most knowledgeable when it comes to java and/or plugin things

[sullen marlin]

Can you try explaining a different way please

I don't understand

[echo holly]

ok im using zEssentials as my "core" plugin and it handles everything in events for updating things. so im trying to call the team money for BetterTeams and Ive been looking for the event call in the src code and have no idea I thought i was close but what i thought was going to work didnt.

[sullen marlin]

Maybe ask zessentials? Do they have documentation?

[drowsy helm]

so im trying to call the team money for BetterTeams what does this mean?

like you're trying to get the amount of money a team has?

[wise mulch]

How would I get the sky light exposure and temperature values from a specific coordinate in a LimitedRegion

[echo holly]

yea ive looked through it they give this as example

• line: 2
  text: "&7Balance: &a%zessentials_user_formatted_balance_money%"
  event: "fr.maxlego08.essentials.api.event.events.user.UserEconomyPostUpdateEvent"
  then tell you it has to be a player event and send me to bukkit docs and ive looked through them

[drowsy helm]

that is a placeholder not sure what that has to do with Events

can you send a link to the betterteams plugin

[echo holly]

"To update your scoreboard, you can use the event system. This system allows you to avoid using tasks for updating placeholders."

[drowsy helm]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/better-teams.17129/

this?

[echo holly]

yes

here is wikis
https://github.com/booksaw/BetterTeams/wiki
https://zessentials.groupez.dev/modules/scoreboard

[drowsy helm]

so where does your plugin come into this?

      text: "&7Balance: &a%zessentials_user_formatted_balance_money%"
      event: "fr.maxlego08.essentials.api.event.events.user.UserEconomyPostUpdateEvent"

is just some plugin config using placeholder api

[echo holly]

yea im just having issues with the event line to update the placeholder part

I figure it was better to ask dev than server because this is based around a coding issue

[drowsy helm]

https://github.com/booksaw/BetterTeams/blob/master/src/main/java/com/booksaw/betterTeams/Team.java

Team#money

[echo holly]

wait whats the event i call?

i have the placeholder part
text: '&7Team Balance: &a%betterteams_money%'
event: com.booksaw.betterTeams.team.storage.team.StoredTeamValue.money

[drowsy helm]

i really have no clue what that config is asking for

https://github.com/booksaw/BetterTeams/blob/master/src/main/java/com/booksaw/betterTeams/team/storage/team/StoredTeamValue.java

that package is some random enum

[echo holly]

this is from wiki
Events
To update your scoreboard, you can use the event system. This system allows you to avoid using tasks for updating placeholders. Traditional plugins often use tasks unnecessarily, which updates data continuously for all players. zEssentials aims to be as optimized as possible, making the event system the most efficient option. When a player performs an action on your server, an event is triggered (whether by Spigot, Paper, Folia, or even zEssentials). The configuration listens for the event you specified for the line and updates only that line.

In the default configuration we have the use of the event UserEconomyPostUpdateEvent to update line 2 and 3. When the player’s money is going to be changed, his scoreboard will be updated automatically.

Your event must be a player event (with some exceptions). You can find the list of events here: https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/package-summary.html

[drowsy helm]

https://github.com/booksaw/BetterTeams/tree/master/src/main/java/com/booksaw/betterTeams/customEvents

thats a list of all the better teams events

none of them really have to do with the money

[echo holly]

yea thats the issue

[drowsy helm]

does zessentials not provide an alternative to using an event

seems like a bit of a flawed system

[echo holly]

but would it be this?
com.booksaw.betterTeams.team.storage.team.TeamStorageType.DOUBLE

i dont think so

[drowsy helm]

no

you can just not provide an event

[echo holly]

it wont up update until plugin is reloaded

[drowsy helm]

thats a really stupid design lol

[echo holly]

yea real

[drowsy helm]

you can just use some arbitrary event then

player move or smth

[echo holly]

yk that might work

[drowsy helm]

but obviously if they afk, it won't update

[echo holly]

I only need it to up the placeholder

yea well that should be fine

they afk after all

[vital sandal]

I'm using ItemDisplay to showing a head

but the head is looking in the opposit direction

how should I rotate it back

It got the Billboard.CENTER as well

in fact it rotate in all opposit direction

[wet breach]

?nocode

[undone axle]

It’s hard to answer a programming question without code
Oh no! You ran into a problem. But no worries, people are willing to help, but first they need to see your code. This is because otherwise, they would be providing help based on guesses instead of concrete knowledge. Whether it be a compile error, runtime error, or an unexpected output, I'm sure that if you were to provide code, you'd receive a quick solution.

[rough drift]

hey chat rq, what's the diff between SPELL_MOB and SPELL_MOB_AMBIENT

[tender shard]

why don't you /playsound it

huh what even is SPELL_MOB supposed to be? it's neither in Particle nor in Sound enum

[wraith delta]

It’s a particle in 1.8

[tender shard]

lol

in 1.20.6, SPELL_MOB is "entity_effect" and SPELL_MOB_AMBIENT doesnt exist

[umbral ridge]

how would you place a villager and allow it to look to the direction based on the closest player, if they're close enough? but prevent it from moving from its spot

do I need to do some hacky stuff to achieve this

packets, etc.?

AI should be false right? AI is what is allowing the villager to walk around

[eternal oxide]

With no AI it will do nothing

[sleek estuary]

how i set the new position of armorstand with nms?

[eternal oxide]

why nms?

[warm vapor]

First, you'll want to keep track of where the closest player is in relation to the villager. Then, figure out which way the villager needs to look based on where the player is. Next, Any events or commands to perform that action. Yes indeed AI should be off.

[sleek estuary]

i make already. thanks

[warm vapor]

He mentioned that he dosen't want the Villager to move

[warm vapor]

Apply a 180-degree rotation around the relevant axis (e.g., y-axis) to correct the head's orientation in the ItemDisplay

[sleek estuary]

im not receiving the message when the armorstand collides with blocks

[umbral ridge]

Vehicle can be a boat

[sleek estuary]

what

[umbral ridge]

Armorstand is an entity

it's not a vehicle

[sleek estuary]

OHH

ok

thx

so how i get the collission event?

[umbral ridge]

You can try

VehicleEntityCollisionEvent

Or not.. not sure

That's probably not it

[sleek estuary]

if not, i have that verify the location on movement

if is a solid

or not

[umbral ridge]

you are on 1.8.9?

[sleek estuary]

yes

[sleek estuary]

nope

i have that verify the location on omvement

I wanted to know why the armorstand doesn't fall either, since I set gravity

nice

[upper hazel]

YamlConfiguration.load vs section.load?

or this

oh

this is same i gess

[astral pilot]

how do you generate a void only world

[lilac dagger]

i have a plugin for that

[undone yarrow]

Is it possible to make a fallingblock stop at a certain y level? Im trying to levitate a block then let it fall down back to its original position, even if theres air under that original position or smth else

[eternal oxide]

just a world gen and populator

[lilac dagger]

tick it

then set gravity false

[undone yarrow]

wdym tick it

[lilac dagger]

with a scheduler

[eternal oxide]

Best to use a BlockDisplay with translation for smoothness over a FallingBlock

[lilac dagger]

oh yeah, block displays are amazing

[undone yarrow]

Im using that for levitating up but not for falling down. Then I'd also need to add logic for a display block falling on your head and dealing dmg

would make falling back easier ig

[lilac dagger]

it's probably a bad idea but you can consider nms

you can set no gravity to true and then edit the ticking in there

modify it's location internally

[astral pilot]

i mean what are the steps to do it

[lilac dagger]

it'll be really smooth

well, you need to set up nms maven projects

[undone yarrow]

yeah maybe not

Ill just try it with the block display, thanks guys

[astral pilot]

thanks

where do you learn these kinds of stuff in minecraft btw

[lilac dagger]

he's familiar with the api

javadocs is a good place to start

it has all the api classes

[astral pilot]

but you have to be atleast be knowledgeable on how minecraft works

is there a place to learn how mc acc works

[eternal oxide]

no

Its mostly reading, Javadocs, experimenting and basically playing around once you find somethign interesting

[lilac dagger]

ask around, search the forums

javadocs

it's all you really need

[astral pilot]

oh, so you dont really need to learn how mc actually works?

[eternal oxide]

No, but it does help

[lilac dagger]

well, you need to have played some mc to know about what you're doing kinda

[wet breach]

some of us here have been around since the beginning of MC

[eternal oxide]

^

[astral pilot]

oh so you guys have been deving for a long time

[nova notch]

The wiki and tens of thousands of hours of playtime

[sleek estuary]

returns true for this?

or only returns true for this? spigot 1.8.8

[astral pilot]

well i dont get how playtime helps

[nova notch]

You learn a lot of obscure and mostly useless shit but it actually helps sometimes

I've found a lot of cool tricks to use for plugins that only work because of minecraft quirks that you stumble across

Things like hiding the health bar without needing a resource pack

[grim hound]

What's acc?

[astral pilot]

actually*

anyways is it possible to create world in specified location

[grim hound]

Elaborate

[eternal oxide]

add path to the world name

[astral pilot]

i see thanks

[astral pilot]

filepath

[lusty cipher]

uh so I have a player with a korean username I think, and when I try to do Bukkit.getServer().createPlayerProfile using that info it generates an exception about invalid characters in the name

but I thought those names were supported?

[chrome beacon]

offline mode?

[lusty cipher]

nope

[eternal oxide]

must be utf8

[lusty cipher]

I mean it shows up correctly in the debugger so it must be UTF-8 no?

[eternal oxide]

be sure your IDE/maven is set to utf8

[chrome beacon]

could you send the uuid

[lusty cipher]

what difference would the source encoding make

[chrome beacon]

What the characters are

[lusty cipher]

I know exactly what that does and I don't see how it's relevant?

[lusty cipher]

36cfad4c-813e-2b9a-9d61-fea38f4f5202

hmm I can't find it on NameMC

[chrome beacon]

yeah

that account doesn't exist

[lusty cipher]

hmm interesting...

[chrome beacon]

offline mode moment

or some hacky npc/fake user

[lusty cipher]

I got this server data dumped from a user

all other nearly 8000 users seem legit

[eternal night]

v2 uuids iirc are commonly used for npcs

[lusty cipher]

huh interesting yeah

[chrome beacon]

v3 is offline mode

v4 is used for online mode

[umbral ridge]

v1?

xd

[chrome beacon]

I've never seen v1 in use

[umbral ridge]

😂

[harsh ruin]

What's giving me the error here? (I've showed everything that uses plugin in pictures)

[chrome beacon]

plugin is null

[lusty cipher]

dont return plugin, return this

you never assigned plugin so its null

[chrome beacon]

Won't work

the metod is static

[lusty cipher]

oh yeah true mb

[chrome beacon]

you need to assign plugin

[vital sandal]

how to get the block infront of player

it should always be the green and not the red one

[drowsy helm]

just get the player's block position and add in the directon they are facing

[chrome beacon]

getTargetBlock

[vital sandal]

that will get the red one not the green one

[remote swallow]

thats a block in front not the block infront

[vital sandal]

just realize that is a word :d

[drowsy helm]

do you want the block the player is looking at or a block relative to the player's position?

[vital sandal]

block relative to the player's position

[drowsy helm]

and what if they are facing diagonal?

[vital sandal]

it will base on the formula to see

[drowsy helm]

you can just get the direciton they are facing and normalise it

[sleek estuary]

how i verify if block is a slab??

[vital sandal]

and eventually I just got the solution by just clone the location and set the pitch to 0

[chrome beacon]

oh yeah I read that wrong

[sleek estuary]

how i verify if is a top step???

step.isinverted not works

[chrome beacon]

uh that code should be deprecated

what version are you on

[mystic meteor]

can someone help me about getting source code from any jar?

what tool can i use

[eternal night]

that would be called a decompiler, however it will not produce the exact source code

[mystic meteor]

i need to get source code

because i want add something

[eternal night]

Then kindly ask the jar author for the source code

[mystic meteor]

Is there any other way?

because i dont think i can contact with the author

[eternal night]

you can use recaf to edit a jar without having to recompile it

however, take that with a grain of salt

[mystic meteor]

i want to add some class

its hard to build and add to zip

[eternal night]

yes, see recaf then

[chrome beacon]

Have you considered just making another plugin that hooks to the plugin api

[mystic meteor]

its would easy to get changes on ide

[eternal night]

that too what plugin are you talking about lol

[mystic meteor]

let me tell what i want to do

i want to get a spigot source

i cant use normal because

it changed

[eternal night]

A spigot source?

so you are using a paid spigot fork

[mystic meteor]

no no

how can i tell you

like added some class for

items

etc

[rough drift]

what

explain yourself more

[eternal night]

what is the source jar here? Is it a plugin? Is it a server?

[mystic meteor]

its a server jar

spigot.jar i mean

i want to get spigot.jar's source code

and put to ide

to made changes

and create new classes

[eternal night]

okay, but its not "normal" spigot

its some derivative work

[mystic meteor]

some changes made yeah

[eternal night]

by whom?

[mystic meteor]

from a author idk him

[rough drift]

?whereami

[undone axle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/864180468680360027/944415049462714469/whereami.mp4

[eternal night]

Well you are running their code what is the name of the fork

[mystic meteor]

my question is already not that

im asking for

how get any jars source

code

[rough drift]

you can't

simple.

[eternal night]

pretty much yea

[rough drift]

Some jars sure, most of them aren't re-compilable, most of the times you can't edit them

[eternal night]

especially wiith a server jar, the dependency setup would be abysmal

[mystic meteor]

this is ridiculous

[eternal night]

How so o.O

[rough drift]

how so

[eternal night]

🥷

[mystic meteor]

why there is no tool to make that

[rough drift]

because it's impossible

well, possible but very limited

[mystic meteor]

why impossible you can see jars inside with recaf

[eternal night]

yea you can also decompile it

the output just isn't the source code

[mystic meteor]

then why you cant dowland

[eternal night]

and you cannot usually recompile it

[rough drift]

^

editing it is just not feasible

[mystic meteor]

owh

thanks for help then

[eternal night]

recaf works by editing the jar's bytecode directly.
It cannot offer you all IDE features because it only knows the jars content

Which, as discussed, is not the full source code but the compiled bytecode

[icy beacon]

new pfp

since when

[eternal night]

eons now (2 weeks?)

[icy beacon]

damn

[halcyon hemlock]

in rust or some better lang

[tardy delta]

hmm

[blazing ocean]

reminds me of when I had to fix a plugin for my friend which was gonna be used in a big minecraft event later that day and he only provided me with a jar and told me to have fun

[rough drift]

lol

[blazing ocean]

cc @lean arrow :)

[tardy delta]

anyone knows what this maven warning means:
system modules path not set in conjunction with -source 17

[rough drift]

send the full log

also make sure you're compiling with java 17 at least

[tardy delta]

https://pastes.dev/39eBIjWumY

java version is 17

[rough drift]

it's fine

[tardy delta]

was wondering what on earth it means

[rough drift]

the path to your modules is not the same path as your jdk

it's perfectly fine to ignore if you're in intelli

[silk mirage]

Hey, are there any upto date and good plugin framework/helper libraries similar to lucko's helper?

[blazing ocean]

what do you need

[late sonnet]

but your are using java 21 based in the first line not?

[blazing ocean]

bukkit is a plugin framework no?

[silk mirage]

well, it is

[tardy delta]

got jdk21, dont see how that changes things

[silk mirage]

I just need like more friendly thing

where I can just hop on and start working

[blazing ocean]

...

[silk mirage]

and will make my life easier

idk how to explain

[late sonnet]

well that are warnings but in teory if you target 17 better use the correct jdk?
https://stackoverflow.com/a/77184084/7704486

[blazing ocean]

idt that exists

just use bukkit and write your own..?

[silk mirage]

Yeah too lazy

[tardy delta]

should be backwards compatible either way 🤷‍♂️

[blazing ocean]

unfortunate

[silk mirage]

Let me name what I want

Uhh injection based command

[blazing ocean]

use a command framework

[silk mirage]

runtime dependency management

[blazing ocean]

doesn't exist iirc

[silk mirage]

event injection stuffs

[silk mirage]

libby does

[blazing ocean]

...???

[silk mirage]

and a lot of other utilities

and

[blazing ocean]

ok then use it?

lol

[silk mirage]

_> yeah I was asking if something like I mentioned exists?

Like some alternative to let's say lucko's helper library

[blazing ocean]

what do you mean by this 😭

[silk mirage]

Basically flexible event listeners and easy event registartions

[blazing ocean]

how is it not easy

it's literally dead simple lol

[silk mirage]

uhhh

So basically

Just take it as an example okay?

@Command
public void function(...) {
  Event.asyncWait(AsyncPlayerChatEvent.class, (event) -> {
    ...
  });
}

[blazing ocean]

what??

for commands it looks like you want acf or cloud

[silk mirage]

okay

[blazing ocean]

what are you even trying to do with this example

[silk mirage]

Uhhh, let me say this as an example

lets say you're making some kind of ban gui based plugin..

[vital sandal]

is there anyway to change the length of the gap between object and its name ?

[silk mirage]

I'd want them to be combinable into a single command along with gui

[blazing ocean]

is this an armour stand

[vital sandal]

nope

[blazing ocean]

yeah and?

[vital sandal]

ItemDisplay

[blazing ocean]

how is that relazed to that example

[blazing ocean]

make a text display for the name

[silk mirage]

@Command("/ban")
public void ban() {
  alert("enter name");
  Events.awaitChatFrom(user, (text) -> {
    // use it over here
  })
}

[vital sandal]

well yes a traditional way but I'm seeing if there is an option for that

[blazing ocean]

no

[zealous osprey]

Look up "Amber Watt negative space font" if you want the spacing between "Example" and "Button" to be smaller. Alternatively have a seperate text display for the text with a smaller scale

[blazing ocean]

that's not a thing

[silk mirage]

It's just a showcase of typically how you could use what I wanted

[blazing ocean]

they meant vertical

[silk mirage]

Huh?

[blazing ocean]

either makr your own or just use a regular listener

[zealous osprey]

Vertically? Between the robot and the text?

[blazing ocean]

yea

[zealous osprey]

Then add have a text display with a transform ig. What mc version is this for btw?
Also, looks really cool the bot

[blazing ocean]

ig you could have a font with ascent tho

[silk mirage]

uh I shall try making a framework by combining these features

Shhh, I really didn't want to create my own tho

[blazing ocean]

unavoidable

[silk mirage]

Life is but a game of fate

[sleek estuary]

1.8 but forget

[light surge]

What is the best way of storing and requesting large amounts of player data?
As in how do large servers handle it? Because querying things every time you need something is not the best way ig. 😂

[blazing ocean]

databases and just have a custom player object

just upsert the new object on change

[icy beacon]

is there a maven command to check all files for compile errors but not compile
i've bumped up multiple libs' versions and i'm wondering if there are some breaking changes but my compile time is stupidly slow so i was wondering if there was a command for this case

welp im compiling let's see how this goes

[blazing ocean]

cargo check ftw

[icy beacon]

yeah i knew there was something for rust

but maven...

idk

[icy beacon]

i was looking into rustc to find this command as an example but forgot about cargo lmao

ok no breaking changes yay

[warm vapor]

Use

mvn validate```

[icy beacon]

nope, gave me a build success after i intentionally left an error

[blazing ocean]

[quaint mantle]

I have never made a Minecraft plugin before. Where should I begin? I want to make a plugin for my Purpur server.

[icy beacon]

mvn verify seems to work but takes almost as long as mvn package

[icy beacon]

you can take a look here to start https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/
but please note that a spigot plugin is not guaranteed to properly work on purpur, or paper, or any derivative of spigot, because they may change the API implementations

[twin venture]

Hello there , i have a weird bug with my cache , mysql system

i get diffrent stats in 1 server , and in the second server i get diffrent stats too

[icy beacon]

but first you really need to get familiar with java or kotlin (most people here use java), otherwise it'll be like trying to write a book in chinese without speaking chinese

[quaint mantle]

Alright

[twin venture]

like in lobby server: 0 kills
in sw-0 server : 2kills

[quaint mantle]

Yeah I am a little familier with Java. I'm always trying to learn it

[twin venture]

syncing data bettwen server's how i can do that?

[icy beacon]

good then, you'll make progress significantly faster

and don't be afraid to ask questions

[quaint mantle]

Yeah

[pseudo hazel]

the most important part is just knowing how to program

[quaint mantle]

Thanks

[pseudo hazel]

everything else follows

[blazing ocean]

kotlin ❤️

[icy beacon]

yupp!

[eternal night]

where is the image

[blazing ocean]

no

[warm vapor]

Fair.

[twin venture]

help

[shadow night]

That's how stats work

[twin venture]

but i have a system (custom plugin with database support)

in sw-0 server were i kill a player , i get 1 solo kills , it increase and saved in sw-0 server but in lobby server it does not update

it show 0

[onyx fjord]

do async events have their own thread per event call or just a single thread/thread poll for all async events? (asking because i will have to do potentially blocking operations on one of async events)

[slender elbow]

it depends on the event

e.g. async chat happens on the chat thread pool

async pre login happens on the login thread pool

async worldgen events happen on the worldgen threads etc

[eternal night]

Size and makeup of said thread pool are also up for grabs

Could be limited to a max size, could not be

[onyx fjord]

alr so blocking on async pre login shouldnt cause much harm?

[blazing ocean]

no

[onyx fjord]

epic

[eternal night]

iirc that thread pool is unlimited

[tender shard]

after 30 seconds the client says goodbye though :p

[blazing ocean]

then don't take that long :p

[onyx fjord]

then we have a bigger problem

db operation shouldnt take 30 secs

[misty ingot]

guys is this the correct server for help with bungee or is there a diff discord server

[blazing ocean]

yes

#help-server if you're not making a plugin tho

[eternal night]

(its the right one)

[misty ingot]

right so

how would i go about doing the following: (i have no experience with bungee plugins, only with spigot)
say i have 2 servers, server 1 and server 2

i run a command on either server and all players from both servers are sent to my server, and then a function in a plugin on my server (spigot/paper) is run.

the function in that plugin will then do whatever it wants

[eternal oxide]

is "my server" "server1", "server2" or some other server thats not behind Bungee?

[misty ingot]

both servers are connected to one bungee proxy

"my server" is either server 1 or server 2

[eternal oxide]

?pmc yes you can do all that using PMC

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/bukkit-bungee-plugin-messaging-channel/

[misty ingot]

also btw is PMC one-sided or can messages be sent both ways

[eternal oxide]

the PMC is to send a message to the spigot server "my server" to trigger the code to run

PMC is both ways, but a player must be on a server for it to receive a message

So you need a Bungee plugin and a spigot plugin

[misty ingot]

um im not seeing any options here to prompt the spigot plugin to run a function in its code

[eternal oxide]

Bungee plugin listens for the command to transfer all players, then send the PMC message to spigot

spigot plugin is listening for the PMC to do whatever you want

[misty ingot]

ah i see

[tardy delta]

such a good thing to see

[blazing ocean]

damn

[eternal oxide]

I can do that, ?a ==a

lots of times

[tardy delta]

gotta write more tests

[slender elbow]

assertTrue(true)

[eternal oxide]

or if you work for Google Tests run: 0

[shadow night]

do google not test code

[eternal oxide]

I'm sure some of it gets tested

[shadow night]

well, I never write tests either so I can't complain lol

[eternal oxide]

its all designed and written by committee

[twin venture]

i need help with syncing data from 1 server to another , when i change the user data , i save it to mysql database, and when player leave i remove him from cache , and when the player join the lobby server i load the data from mysql .

but the data is diffrent

[inner mulch]

the data is being loaded before its being stored

when using a proxy, you join connect to the other server before leaving the previous oen

[twin venture]

that's wrong , because i save it when its changed

aka when i kill a player i save it to mysql instantly

[eternal oxide]

salvation is correct

[inner mulch]

then the problem lies in ur implemenation

[twin venture]

they are both have the same database connected to

[eternal oxide]

I'm going to bet you are saving on player quit

[twin venture]

yes and when the user change data

[eternal oxide]

on player quit is too late

[twin venture]

i mean kill a player , win a game

i do it in 3 diffrent sinerao

• kill player (save)
• win a game (save)
• quit (save)

i have a custom system built in , where i use a Cache :

not sure if iam doing it wrongly here , i mean the sql code looks fine

in the Lobby plugin instance :

[eternal oxide]

if your cache has an entry (old) for that UUID, it never refreshes it

[twin venture]

but iam invalidate the local cache

when ever he leave the current server he is in

this is how iam saving it when a player quit

is it wrong?

[silent slate]

When i have a inventoryClickevent, how do i test if the player has just put an item inside the chest or just moved items within his own inventory. I wanna detect the item he moves into the chest and not the item he moves throughout his inventory

[eternal oxide]

the quit is going to run after the player is already in the lobby

If hes already in teh lobby he will have a cache data

so it never gets pulled from sql

[inner mulch]

does some1 have a picture of what DisplaySlot.PLAYER_LIST is? (scoreboards)

[celest notch]

I'm making an rpg server and i want to make a randomly generated dungeon there are tons of guides online but how would I implement that as a plugin?

[blazing ocean]

there's that one algo

how's it called

wave function collapse

[tardy delta]

what exactly is a chache?

[pseudo hazel]

oh yeah wave function collapse may look very cool with minecraft builds

[tardy delta]

you chache things in there?

[twin venture]

firstly i have :

• sql
• mongodb
• flat file (for settings)
  .. etc

its like a backbone of the system

[inner mulch]

how can i remove a score from a scoreboard?

[celest notch]

^

[blazing ocean]

a friend made a maze type game with it and it's so freaking cool

[blazing ocean]

read my answer?

[twin venture]

and this is how i use it

[pseudo hazel]

as for how to actually put that into the game there are about 100 steps probably

[celest notch]

Oh i searched that and i didnt see how quantum mechanics relates to what im trying to do

[blazing ocean]

the base game class is 600 lines 😅

[pseudo hazel]

thats where software architecture and general game development skills would be useful

[blazing ocean]

(i am never gonna be able to implement it myself)

[pseudo hazel]

look up wave function collapse for generation in video games

[celest notch]

Thanks i found it

What is usually used to save groups of blocks and spawn them when needed, my dungeon will be a 9x9 grid filled with rooms of various sizes

[pseudo hazel]

structures I would think

but maybe there is a better way

[twin venture]

1- from sw-0 server
2- from lobby server after i was teleported back

i use this method when a player is killed & killer

[prisma jolt]

Hey, so I created a plugin that when you do [item] it shows up in the chat and it doesn't support HEX Codes for some reason and I have never figured it out and I've tried most solutions but no luck.

        if (originalMessage.contains("[item]")) {
            ItemStack item = player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand();
            String itemName = item.getType().name();
            List<String> itemLore = null;

            if (item.hasItemMeta()) {
                ItemMeta itemMeta = item.getItemMeta();
                if (itemMeta.hasDisplayName()) {
                    itemName = itemMeta.getDisplayName();
                }
                if (itemMeta.hasLore()) {
                    itemLore = itemMeta.getLore();
                }
            }

            // Replace [item] with the item name
            String parsedMessage = ColorUtil.colorize(originalMessage.replace("[item]", itemName));

            // Format the chat message nvm
            String chatMessage = ColorUtil.colorize(String.format(format, player.getDisplayName(), parsedMessage));


            // Apply hover event to the parsed item name
            TextComponent messageComponent = new TextComponent(chatMessage);
            messageComponent.setHoverEvent(hoverEvent);

            // Send the formatted message to all players
            for (Player recipient : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
                recipient.spigot().sendMessage(messageComponent);
            }

            // Cancel the original chat event
            event.setCancelled(true);

        }
    }

public class ColorUtil {
    private static final Pattern HEX_PATTERN = Pattern.compile("#[a-fA-F-0-9]{6}");
    private static final String MINECRAFT_VERSION = Bukkit.getServer().getBukkitVersion().split("-")[0];
    private static final List<String> ACCEPTED_VERSIONS = Arrays.asList("1.16", "1.17", "1.18", "1.19", "1.20");

    public static String colorize(final String msg) {
        return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', ColorUtil.translateHex(msg));
    }

    public static List<String> colorizeList(final List<String> messages) {
        for (int i = 0; i < messages.size(); ++i) {
            messages.set(i, ColorUtil.colorize(messages.get(i)));
        }
        return messages;
    }



    public static void tell(final CommandSender sender, final String msg) {
        sender.sendMessage(ColorUtil.colorize(msg));
    }

    public static void tellList(final CommandSender sender, final List<String> messages) {
        for (final String msg : ColorUtil.colorizeList(messages)) {
            sender.sendMessage(msg);
        }
    }

    public static String translateHex(String s) {
        final Pattern hexPattern = Pattern.compile("#[a-fA-F0-9]{6}");

        Matcher match = hexPattern.matcher(s);

        while(match.find()) {
            String c = s.substring(match.start(), match.end());
            s = s.replace(c, net.md_5.bungee.api.ChatColor.of(c) + "");
            match = hexPattern.matcher(s);
        }

        return s;
    }
}

If someone could help me figure it out, that would be great

[worldly ice]

you have to use TextComponent#fromLegacyText

[pseudo hazel]

is there a good way to convert a bungee chat component to an adventure chat component

that isnt like reserializing the json into the other side

[chrome beacon]

BungeeComponentSerializer

[pseudo hazel]

they all take an array of basecomponents

do I just put it into an array on its own

[chrome beacon]

if you only have one then yes

[broken nacelle]

when the player joins back to the lobby, do you refresh player stats?

[eternal oxide]

thats too early, the other server will not have updated the sql yet

[broken nacelle]

wow

[pseudo hazel]

hmm, if I use packetevents, which uses adventure components for everything, do I need to add adventure as a dependency as well? i get class not found on bungeecomponentserializerimpl

[blazing ocean]

it's not bundled

in fact i can't even find it in the docs

[broken nacelle]

but its just an increment, I don't think it would take that long

[pseudo hazel]

wdym

[blazing ocean]

https://docs.advntr.dev/serializer/index.html

ngl just use adventure itself

[pseudo hazel]

well I got the same issue with the json serializer

[blazing ocean]

then include it

[pseudo hazel]

but yeah seems like there is no other way

[eternal oxide]

When transferring between servers you are joined to the lobby before the quit event on the other server is finished

[blazing ocean]

or try gson

[pseudo hazel]

I had hoped packetevents just used bungee components xD

[broken nacelle]

so, its better to use a delayed task like runTaskTimer or something?

[eternal oxide]

yes. Just assume when the player joins lobby the current data may be junk

[pseudo hazel]

yeah I mean this works , but 🤮 GsonComponentSerializer.gson().deserialize(ComponentSerializer.toJson(team.getColoredName()).toString())

[blazing ocean]

deal with it

with adventure you will have to write long lines

[pseudo hazel]

I didnt sign up for this 😦

[blazing ocean]

you kinda did

[pseudo hazel]

I mean

[blazing ocean]

just use kotlin and use my dsl

much better

[pseudo hazel]

the only other way is to not use packetevents

wtf is dsl

[blazing ocean]

domain specific language

[pseudo hazel]

to do what

what is kotlin gonna help me

[blazing ocean]

components

look at this beauty

[pseudo hazel]

i dont need more components

i just need to send packets to the client and listen for them

but i guess if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself

for since I wanna finish this update in this lifetime ill just stick with the serialer-deserialize method

[river oracle]

Explain why not using minimessage?

[pseudo hazel]

idont have a choice

its what packevents requires

[river oracle]

Are you using adventure?

[pseudo hazel]

no

[river oracle]

Bungee??

There are plenty of ways to get stuff into components

[pseudo hazel]

yeah im using bungee components

because it came with spigot

and that decision was made 2 years ago

[river oracle]

You shouldn't need to touch Gson spigot should have methods

[pseudo hazel]

for what

[river oracle]

To get the json

As a string

[pseudo hazel]

yes thats what I showed

[pseudo hazel]

.

componentserializer is from bungee

team.coloredName returns the component

and gsoncomponentserializer is something from packetevents

[river oracle]

Ig all the actual good methods ik of are from craftbukkit

That sucks

ComponentSerializer.toString(component);

Is this really not exposed??

[blazing ocean]

minimessage is adventure

[river oracle]

I'm aware

Believe it or not my iq exceeds single digits

[blazing ocean]

you are the genius behind cabernetmc

i will believe that every day of the week

[pseudo hazel]

yes but thats cursed json

atleast in 1.20.4 it breaks the unicode

[blazing ocean]

bungee moment

[pseudo hazel]

because it doesnt insert a second \ to escape the unicode

and then minecraft does a poopoo because it cant parse the json

but the magic fix for that is just .repace("\u", "\\")

so I guess its usable

but its probably not much better than toJson.tostring

but who knows

[wet breach]

I totally forgot I had those domains

[blazing ocean]

o true

[wet breach]

i tested it on my test server

on my pc

it was not saving the stats database users

🙂

should i do Direct Access to mysql data?

i mean save it directly?

i mean this

it save both target and killer 🙂 i bet i can do something better maybe get the current users in this arena , and save them all?

that's better than save 1 user at a time right?

[pseudo hazel]

im trying to think of a somewhat efficient way to show player teams using packets so it doesnt interfere with the scoreboard. Right now I am sending createTeam packets every time someone joins or leaves a team, which only leaves me with the issue that players that have left dont update correctly, but apart from that I think its pretty ugly to just keep creating teams, even though the client seems fine with it

the way I wanted to fix the no team issue is by removing all teams from the player with packets, but that requires 1 packet per team

so idk what the best way is

[wet breach]

but that would be a lot of portals

[sour mountain]

back when I knew nothing about plugins and I would use command blocks

plugins are soo much better

[river oracle]

I'm leaving next week

[wet breach]

ah the typical school schedule

[sour mountain]

    public void onPlayerEnterPortal(PlayerPortalEvent e){

        Player p = e.getPlayer();

        Location islandPortal;
        Location playerIsland;

        if (e.getFrom().distance(islandPortal) <= 4){
            p.teleport(playerIsland);
        }

    }```

@marble hearth maybe something like this?

idk im not very good at plugins yet but this seems like it would work

[blazing ocean]

you have two null values

you need to initalise them

[sour mountain]

I know I was just showing them that so they could plug in their values

I just made that as an example

[blazing ocean]

ah

[marble hearth]

I mean if a plugin can do it I can do a plugin instead

Just not sure

[sour mountain]

try the code I provided

it'll prob work

and if not then theres definitely a way

[celest notch]

@blazing ocean can wave function collapse support tiles that are larger than 1x1?

From what ive seen they always use 1x1s

[blazing ocean]

idk never used it

[sleek estuary]

use distancesquared

[tardy delta]

in what context?

what data

[worthy yarrow]

I mean that sounds like you're not saving data correctly or you're not querying correctly, it's quite hard for us to say what you should do given the query fails, we don't have enough information

[blazing ocean]

if your db operation fails it likely means you're doing something wrong

[worthy yarrow]

^ more information, perhaps some code and describe the operation you're trying to accomplish (start -> finish)

[misty ingot]

hey um im really very confused regarding how to work with PMC

I want to recieve a message on a channel on my bungeecord plugin, and then do whatever when i receive it
but i seriously just cant wrap my brain around how to receive a message (and how to send said message from spigot)

[tardy delta]

or datacenter started smoking

[blazing ocean]

aternos

[worthy yarrow]

kek

[misty ingot]

nvm.

[oak mica]

how could i have multiple plugins in one project

[vast ledge]

as dependecies?

[oak mica]

e.g.

build.gradle
src
-> my_plugin_1
- -> src
- - -> java
- - -> resources
- - - -> plugin.yml
-> my_plugin_2
- -> src
- - -> java
- - -> resources
- - - -> plugin.yml

-> my_main_plugin
- -> src
- - -> java
- - -> resources
- - - -> plugin.yml

where each plugin would be its own JavaPlugin and initialise separately but my_main_plugin would initialise at the end and use the other ones as dependencies

preferably compile into one central plugin but even if it doesnt thats fine

[tardy delta]

why having three plugins in one project

[oak mica]

cuz the other two are basically just subplugins for the first one

each specialised to do one part of the main plugin

and having a separate project for each seems rather dumb

[tardy delta]

just make one plugin?

[eternal oxide]

go look at essentialsx on github they do it with gradle

[sullen marlin]

In maven it's just modules

[eternal oxide]

maven you just set each module to jar not pom

[oak mica]

i hate maven 🤷

[tardy delta]

oh boy it will only get worse

[quick beacon]

Guys, please tell me, I install some construction (blocks), and then I remove it, but I always save it to the database to return it if the server shuts down, but I do not save the blocks of chests, or rather their contents, how to save BlockState?

[tardy delta]

what weird kind of google translate is that

[quick beacon]

yes

how save blockState in database

[rough ibex]

now is the time to look in yourself for forgiveness

and like maven

[oak mica]

gradle is so much less effort

[rough ibex]

gradle is so much less brain cells

maven isn't much more effort anyway

as long as you understand XML which is already a standard format

[oak mica]

i dont

[rough ibex]

gradles syntax is uh, its own

[eternal night]

I don't think the argument for maven is that it is less effort

[oak mica]

ive used gradle forl ike 3-4 years

[eternal night]

it just isn't as powerful as gradle at the gain that it is more robust/changes less

[celest notch]

Does anyone know how to make a certain structure guaranteed to spawn once, i am using structure blocks to generate rooms for a custom dungeon

[vast ledge]

keep track if its been spawned, and if it hasnt, force the spawn

there might also be a way with the spawning algorithm

[remote swallow]

@eternal night uve worked on gradle plugins how would @river oracle add a dependecy to a project inside a task

[celest notch]

Structure blocks have to be the most complicated thing ive seen while working on my server

[chrome beacon]

you'll have to force that placement yourself

I don't think you can guarantee that with structure blocks

assuming you want a random dungeon and not the same one everytime

[vast ledge]

yea

[celest notch]

I honestly might just put an armor stand in the rooms and once its done overwrite one with the boss room

Basically what im trying to do is something similar to hypixels dungeons for the generation and layout

Tf is unknown.bin

WHAT

[eternal oxide]

add an externsion

jpg

[celest notch]

My images keep getting turned into binary files

[vast ledge]

tuesdays

[celest notch]

Thx

Wouldnt let me send that

Mobile app buggin ig

[vast ledge]

Why is there

like 50

"""""

[chrome beacon]

That's how you do text blocks?

[vast ledge]

really?

that looks like it would yeet errors all over the place

Mysql ig

[celest notch]

Yeah so basically what i was trying to do was use structure blocks to generate a dungeon out from a start room, but i need every door between the start and end rooms to be locked

[chrome beacon]

It appears you have an extra " in the first sql statement

other than that

try it and see

[celest notch]

And end room needs to be guaranteed to spawn

[vast ledge]

test it

I mean it works, what more would you want

[chrome beacon]

Text blocks are a java thing

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/text-blocks/index.html

[eternal night]

What

Why would you want to add a dependency inside a task

[remote swallow]

@river oracle answer him

[river oracle]

well I figured it'd be easier than copying over every needed NMS dependency every time they update

or writing some script to edit a gradle file itself

[eternal night]

Well no you'd just dynamically compute the nms dependency notation

[celest notch]

Is there a structure blocks discord or smth i kinda feel like im comitting crimes asking about it here

[vast ledge]

Thats like default minecraft or smth

datapacks

there should be a discord for that

[river oracle]

I already do so, but you need to run the setup task to get the libraries.list from the server. I have another task called setupDeps which would throw them in, idk really any other way to trigger the setup with a gradle task. to ensure dependencies are added and stay there

[chrome beacon]

minecraft commands or minecraft worldgen

🤷‍♂️ not aware of any good places to ask

[eternal night]

Well, you'd want some generator then i.guess

E.g. define the MC version in the modules gradle.properties

Have a task that just updates that value when it creates a new copy

[river oracle]

how tf does sculptor do it then

I didn't notice anything in the properties or gradle properties there so I figured ya'll dynamically added them too

wait nvm I had a good idea that isn't a task

[eternal night]

That is literally what it does

[river oracle]

do they generate dependencies into the gradle.properties at runtime?

[eternal night]

When it migrates from one version to another, it copies the current one and does a find for the MC version in the build.gradle

No we keep the ver in the build.gtadle.kts

But same concept

MigrateVersion isn't a runtime thing

It's checked into git

Sculptur straight just does what you'd do, which is copy the old folder, find the Minecraft version like in the new folders build.gtadle.kts, bump it to where it wants it and off it goes

Nothing funky happens at actual grade runtime/compilation

[river oracle]

hmmm okay

[celest notch]

Thx minecraft commands has it ill keep the spigot questions to here from now on

[wise mulch]

What code do I need to put in a chunk generator to actually make structures spawn? I set the structure Boolean the true, but it only spawns the bounding box and no blocks from the actual structure. I know the bounding box is there at least because /locate is able to find it, and if I go to a stronghold for example I will get the eye spy achievement.

I realize this behavior even occurs when I have no code in the chunk generator at all, so rather than me doing something that causes them to fail to spawn, it is rather something I am missing which placees the blocks that make up the structure.

The Boolean for enabling structures didn't say anything about extra code that's needed in the chunk generator to place them, but it seems like they're actually is something that is needed. I just don't know what it is because there's no other mention of structures anywhere in chunk generator.

As mentioned this happens even when there is no code in the chunk generator, just a blank world with structures turned on. Ordinarily avoid world would still be able to spawn some structures, like floating strongholds. But in this case I only get the bounding boxes for said strongholds and other structures

[vast ledge]

dayum

tldr?

[wise mulch]

tl;dr vanilla structure no appear in custom chunkgenerator, only bounding box
happens even when I don't actually override the gen functions, so it means I am missing something rather than breaking something

[vast ledge]

okay thanks

Might want to take a look at the attached project, it generates villages
https://github.com/skps2010/VillageGenerator/tree/master

[inner mulch]

i heard that since 1.20.3 the numbers can be removed from the scoreboard, how can this be achieved?

[knotty aspen]

by setting the number format of the objective to blank. Paper has API for that, which Spigot seems to be still missing. So either use Paper, NMS, or the vanilla scoreboard commands

[inner mulch]

okay

thank you

[muted otter]

how do i hotswap with jetbrains runtime?

[wet breach]

when you have columns tthat can't be null, when possible provide a default

for said column in the query when making it

this way, if you need to put data into the row, you don't explicitly have to specify if it isn't really necessary to specify

when creating tables, MySQL has a variable called DEFAULT

you tack it on to the end of your column creation part

I will give an example

gold bigint NOT NULL,

gold bigint NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',

you can also go in and use alter if you want to set defaults too

ALTER TABLE player_data
ALTER gold SET DEFAULT '0';

even so, something to be aware about. If a default is set for columns, you can explicitly remove them from your query when adding new players for example

as the mysql table will add the defaults for you

postgre is just enterprise mysql

there may be some slight differences but otherwise its mostly the same if you were using mysql 😛

if its a number I don't think it does, but I usually do just out of habit

less to worry about going wrong that way

[zenith saddle]

How should you access the plugin's logger?

is it this?
public Logger log = this.getLogger();

And what if I want to use it in other classes

[elfin mesa]

I'm currently making a plugin, what should the minimum version that it supports be? Is there a standard? I currently support 1.17-latest, I'm wondering if I should go lower (perhaps to 1.13?) or just cut off 1.17 and move to 1.18? Is there any benefit for doing so?

[river oracle]

I only support latest

usually I'll do last 3 versions

no more than that ever though

[river oracle]

generally though its important to remember 90% of servers are on latest

[dense bronze]

I mostly make my plugins for 1.8.8-latest, but it complicates things most of the time due to the changes within the API at some plcaes.

I'd say 1.20 is safest option. Most of the people are using 1.20 and higher anyway.

[elfin mesa]

Alright, thanks

[wet breach]

there is no standard, just know the further back you support the more work it creates for you. So really its about whether or not do you really want to support all those versions and the amount of work it takes to debug stuff on all those versions

[knotty aspen]

latest to latest. users stuck on old versions are not worth the effort it takes to support them, especially with mojang recently doing a lot of large and nice technical changes.
And users insisting on staying on some old version tend to be the most annoying and demanding anyways

[dim frost]

I have direction of an entity (vector) and taking this as thrust i need a direction perpendicular towards Y axis clockwise to act as lift

Is there a viable algorithm for this?

Right now I am aware infinite perpendiculars are possible in a 3D graph whilst in case of 2D only 1 or 2

So I was thinking what if I take Z as non changing and from (x, y, z) I make it (y, -x, z) ?

[quaint mantle]

Could it be because the world is unloaded?

But it's duplicated a world with the name f6

[spice burrow]

is there a better way to give blocks a glow effect (the entity glow effect) besides having an invisible glowing shulker in the block you want to make glow?

[quaint mantle]

A world with that name does exist

worldManager.cloneWorld("f6", worldname, "flat");
Hmm

How about if I try to load the world paste the schematic?

[mental moon]

Does anyone know how to make a Smithing recipe without a template?
Before 1.20.5 I was able to pass Air with no side effect, but null and Air are prohibited now.
I have a Listener that sets the Result, but without all the pieces of the recipe, the table won't release the item.

[analog lantern]

if i wanna get a spigot jar with the mojang mappings i just build tool with --remapped and shade that into my plugin right?

[analog lantern]

you could set it to a random item and when the other two slots get filled with the right items it auto fills the template

[analog lantern]

or does --remapped give me spigot mappings
