[worthy yarrow]

Ah I knew it

You needed the entity

[livid heron]

yes

[floral drum]

EntityShootBowEvent#getProjectile

That should be the entity/projectile that is fired

[worthy yarrow]

Damnit purple

I just got the doc too

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityShootBowEvent.html#getProjectile()

Ig if you need it kek

[dawn flower]

how do i change the "Motion" of an entity

"Motion" is in the nbt

[floral drum]

I mean if I know correctly motion should really be the velocity

[dawn flower]

and before you say use velocity, bukkit limits the velocity

[floral drum]

so maybe setVelocity

oh right yea

[dawn flower]

i need higher speeds

i figured it out

[worthy yarrow]

How did you do it?

[dawn flower]

i used an nbt library

[worthy yarrow]

Oh easy enough kek

[livid heron]

ok so nothing happened

im sure theres probably something wrong with my code but i cant see what

ill send it

[echo basalt]

nms?

[livid heron]

    @EventHandler
    public static void onShoot(EntityShootBowEvent event) {
        Player player = (Player) event.getEntity();
        if (event.getConsumable() == ItemManager.rArrow) {
            player.setPassenger(event.getProjectile());
        }
    }
}```

[worthy yarrow]

Is event.getConsumable the arrow entity? Or is event.getProjectile

[dawn flower]

kekw

[livid heron]

getconsumable i though was the item

[dawn flower]

you need to implement the spigot Listener not the Websocket one

[worthy yarrow]

That too

[worthy yarrow]

This was a genuine question tho

[livid heron]

^

[worthy yarrow]

Ok yes you are correct it is the item

[worthy yarrow]

This is your fix tho

[livid heron]

wack

also i dont think i put the event in the main class 💀

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah you need to do that too

[dawn flower]

also from your code i can tell you're using one class for multiple events that aren't related to each other, you should have a listeners package or something

so if you have an exception you know exactly where it is

and to avoid really long classes

[livid heron]

i have 1 event total

this is the sole purpose of the plugin

ok so i fixed the websocket thing and i put this in onEnable() getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new EventManager(), this); but still nothing is happening

i put a sendmessage in the event but it didnt trigger

[worthy yarrow]

Verify that a human entity shot the bow

[livid heron]

but i have a special arrow which is what it's checking for

[worthy yarrow]

Iirc you still have to verify that it's a player or human entity or wtv before casting the player object

[dawn flower]

how do i make a specific player not load chunks

[livid heron]

lol vengeance

[floral drum]

ChunkLoadEvent it should be lol

ah no u cant cancel it

[dawn flower]

and it doesnt tell me who loaded it

[worthy yarrow]

PacketType.Play.Server.UNLOAD_CHUNK

send unload chunk packets to the player

[dawn flower]

i dont want the chunk to be loaded in the first place

[worthy yarrow]

Method in World perhaps?

pretty sure unloadchunk is a method in world

[dawn flower]

i'm doing a tutorial for players, which involves them teleporting (smoothly) across the world, which loads alot of chunks and lags the server

[worthy yarrow]

You could define a region around the location the player teleported to and unload those maybe?

[livid heron]

so something like

[insert previous code here]
}```?

[dawn flower]

i just got another idea, ima just add a ticket to all the chunks that the player would go through

[livid heron]

render distance = 0

[dawn flower]

🗿

[worthy yarrow]

I'd do inverse, guard clauses:

if(!(event.getEntity instanceof Player)) {
  return;
}
[insert previous code here]

[livid heron]

ok

so i did that and nothing changed

so i tried removing the condition that it had to be the special arrow and the arrow just stayed on top of my head

ohh the arrow was riding me

ok

oooh

ok it works really well

but it doesnt matter if i have the special arrow or not

so i just have to figure out if the arrow being fired is the special one or not

but the consumable thing didnt work for that for some reason

[worthy yarrow]

try to do .isSimilar(yourArrow) or wtv the correct way to do that is

[livid heron]

unrelated, is there any faster way to reload plugins aside from rebuilding the jar, then restarting the server

[livid heron]

ok i did that and it works perfectly now

thanks so much

[worthy yarrow]

yeah no worries I shoulda known the comparison was wrong haha

[livid heron]

i also had to change == to instanceof

nevermind

misremembering

one small issue, the arrow isn't showing up in the creative menu

[worthy yarrow]

You might have to add it to some registry? I'm not too sure on how the items are handled in the creative menu

I'd just make a command or gui to get the arrow

[livid heron]

yeah it has a command

[worthy yarrow]

Did you do anything to add it to the creative menu?

[livid heron]

nope lol

i was just wondering if there was a way

[worthy yarrow]

This maybe?

Sounds like reflection and unfreezing of registry to me

[livid heron]

probably

i just need to be able to give the arrow to individuals

[worthy yarrow]

You could do like a drop chance on skeletons

[livid heron]

i really just need it to actually exist as an item, which im not sure is currently the case

because i cant do /give and it's not in the creative menu

[worthy yarrow]

it exists as an item when you spawn it in via command (currently)

Do you have a command written?

[livid heron]

i have a custom command /givearrow

[worthy yarrow]

right so that's what you use

[livid heron]

but i want to be able to do something like /give rideable_arrow

like you would with any other item

unless i cant do that with plugins

but i dont see why not

[worthy yarrow]

final answer then lol

[livid heron]

ok

[worthy yarrow]

Idk if this is the way but I assume so?

[ashen remnant]

hey is anyone familiar with towny?

[livid heron]

ill look into it

maybe theres another way

is it possible to specify who to run the command on?

in the code

like could i add an input for a player in the command

[worthy yarrow]

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

[livid heron]

i dont know if thats what im looking for

i meant something like /givearrow NuclearKat or /givearrow TheRingfinger

to give the arrow to a specified player

i need to make it excecutable from a command block

[worthy yarrow]

Bukkit.getPlayer() takes a string so you could do getPlayer(args[0])

I would make a player object from that method and verify that it's actually a player

handle exceptions accordingly

[livid heron]

ohh is that was the args[] is for

[worthy yarrow]

yeah

It's the arguments of the command

[livid heron]

radical

that should make it much easier

to grasp

[worthy yarrow]

Makes handling different things in the same command easier for sure

[dawn flower]

how do i get all the intersceting chunks of a bounding box

[worthy yarrow]

Also keep in mind that you should verify the length of the args[] to ensure correct usage of the command

[livid heron]

so keep it below 1

[worthy yarrow]

If you only want there to be one possible argument

[livid heron]

yes

[worthy yarrow]

It could be

/givearrow (player) (type) (amount)

[livid heron]

i just want /givearrow (player)

[worthy yarrow]

If that's what you want then yes

[livid heron]

cool

and is there a method to make the system say something in chat

[worthy yarrow]

Bukkit.getServer.broadcastMessage() or something

[livid heron]

ok thanks so much

[worthy yarrow]

no worries!

[floral drum]

the creative menu is clientside

[livid heron]

wack

[worthy yarrow]

Ah ok then you need to delve into nms I think if you wanted to do that

[livid heron]

is args [0] the initial command or the first argument

[worthy yarrow]

first arg

[livid heron]

cool

so this is what i wrote but it's not giving me anything public class FirstCommands implements CommandExecutor { @Override public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) { Player inPlayer = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]); if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("getarrow")) { if(args.length != 0 && inPlayer != null) { Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage("Input a player!"); return false; } else { inPlayer.getInventory().addItem(ItemManager.rArrow); } } return true; } }

[dawn flower]

cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("getarrow") isn' tneeded

and did u register the command in plugin.yml and your main class

[livid heron]

this is the main class ```@Override
public void onEnable() {
getServer().getConsoleSender().sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "[FirstPlugin] Plugin is enabled!");
ItemManager.init();
getCommand("givearrow").setExecutor(new FirstCommands());
getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new EventManager(), this);
}

version: 1.0
author: TheRingfinder
main: com.theringfinder.first.First
api-version: 1.21
commands:
  givearrow:
    description: Gives a player a rideable arrow.```

[dawn flower]

it's givearrow not getarrow

[livid heron]

yml ^

oh

wow

[livid heron]

wait so how is this not needed

how else would it know which command im excecuting

[dawn flower]

getCommand("givearrow").setExecutor(new FirstCommands());

onCommand is only triggered when that specific command is sent

not any command

[livid heron]

oh ok cool

thats nice

do i need any usage in the yml

[dawn flower]

no

u can literally just do givearrow:

and it would still work

[livid heron]

oh cool

[mint nova]

Can i storage player data in .yml files? And how if yes

[brittle geyser]

Yes

File file = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "data.yml")
YamlConfiguration config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
String path = "players." + player.getName()
config.set(path + ".current_hp", player.getHealth())
config.set(path + ".max_hp", player.getMaxHealth())
try {
    config.save(file);
} catch (IOException e) {
    throw new RuntimeException(e);
}

[mint nova]

Thanks bro

[mint nova]

It will looks like

players:
     NICK1
     current_hp:
           20
     Nick2

[brittle geyser]

Object obj = dataConfig.get("players." + player.getName());
if (obj instanceof Map<?, ?>) {
    Map<String, Object> stringObjectMap = (Map<String, Object>) obj;
    double current_hp = (int) stringObjectMap.get("current_hp")
    double max_hp = (int) stringObjectMap.get("max_hp")
}

[grim hound]

Is a bungeecord server started with ROOT permissions?

[mint nova]

IT this the same as this ?

[brittle geyser]

players:
  Hxncus:
    current_hp: 20
    max_hp: 20
  Lokha:
    current_hp: 1
    max_hp: 100

[drowsy helm]

Unless you start it as sudo or admin, no

Same with any other application

[mint nova]

That's i looking for thanks bro

[brittle geyser]

This code get your data from file

[grim hound]

Mm I see

[brittle geyser]

This code store data to config

[mint nova]

Oh thanks bro

Thank you so much

[brittle geyser]

np

[valid basin]

is there a way to check which method was added in what version in spigotmc docs?

[drowsy helm]

No not as of now

I think someone was gonna pr a annotation for it but not yet

[valid basin]

yeah that's probably a good idea

because I need it when I make a plugin that supports multiple versions and then I use reflection for older versions that don't have it available in spigot API

[vocal cloud]

I wanted to but was told it'd probably get rejected

[shadow night]

Go through the commit history or something

[pseudo hazel]

so no, not really

commit history is ass

[shadow night]

true

But you could create an automated program to scan through all commits and check when what was added

[sullen marlin]

Yeah, this is what I was hoping for tbh

[drowsy helm]

Too much of a pain to do manually and big chance to mess up

[wet breach]

if you wanted granular you can do it this way

if its strictly api methods, then all you have to do is just scan all the api jars

you can even do this via reflection if I recall and scanning class paths for the api being present

if not, you can just do something different based on that

[shadow night]

true

Reminds me of the matcher

Actually, this sounds like a very easy task

I have all api jars besides 1.17 on my laptop rn

[quiet ice]

Use the A-level & V-level metadata files to obtain absolutely all API jars

This would also enable one to obtain the date in which an API was altered (it's often the case that changes occur mid-version)

[drowsy helm]

Would date really matter?

[quiet ice]

If you use a very specific snapshot version yes

But the fewest pin their snapshot vers I guess

Hell, I never knew that was possible

[mint nova]

How u can add lore to it? Like i know how to make a lore list but to display it in yml file is yea.. i am creating Items and Item have lore you know. Sr for my english

[jaunty sonnet]

How do i make it be only the cloring rank and not the name ?

[wet breach]

as geol said, so in otherwords no it isn't really crucial since most are just looking for which major version or minor version it appeared

[pseudo hazel]

just set the prefix and not the color of the team

[jaunty sonnet]

how?

[pseudo hazel]

idk

idk what this menu is

[young knoll]

Add a reset color code at the end

[jaunty sonnet]

I understand

[pseudo hazel]

oh yeah that could work &r at the end after player

[tardy flame]

Hey, is the block display transformation (e.g: transformation:[0.5024f,0f,0f,-0.6875f,0f,0.2286f,0f,0f,0f,0f,0.5f,0.25f,0f,0f,0f,1f]) like this
[ 0 4 8 12 ]
[ 1 5 9 13 ]
[ 2 6 10 14 ]
[ 3 7 11 15 ]

and whether the translation are indices 12, 13 and 14 or minecraft has other type of matrix

because for me when I use this matrix the transformation values are always 0, 0, 0

[lost matrix]

Minecraft (like most other games) use an affine transformation representation.
The last row corresponds to the homogeneous coordinates.

Translation is done by changing tx, ty, tz (or the last index as its used to scale the column)

Honestly, i would probably not bother too much with understanding affine transformations if you just want simple transformations.
The joml lib already provides you with a plethora of methods for this:

    Display display = ...;
    
    Matrix4f transformationMatrix = new Matrix4f();
    
    transformationMatrix.scale(0.5f);
    transformationMatrix.translate(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f);
    transformationMatrix.rotateAffineXYZ(0, (float) Math.PI / 4, 0);
    
    display.setTransformationMatrix(transformationMatrix);

[brittle geyser]

You can store whole item in config

[tidal finch]

hiya, is there some sort of method for opening furnace gui or do I have to create it from scratch using something like Bukkit.createInventory() method? I am trying to make custom furnace plugin using player head model.

[drowsy helm]

Yeah you have to create it if you dont have a block to reference

[tidal finch]

ah got it thanks. So I am guessing if I'll want to create something like furnace that is faster for example I'll have to recreate whole furnace logic?

[drowsy helm]

Yeah you will unfortunately

It’s not a massive job though

Wait actually im not sure if a fake inv will smelt , it might work

Just have to keep track of the items

[quaint mantle]

hello i need help with worldguard and combatlogx

i want to make a are you cant enter if you are tagged

[chrome beacon]

ask in #help-server or the SirBlobman discord

[quaint mantle]

ok thanks

[tidal finch]

ok thank you I'll look into it

[mint nova]

Like how can you show me because i quite dong understand how it will work

[brittle geyser]

Just use specific methods YamlConfiguration#set(String path, Object obj)
And YamlConfiguration#getItemStack(String path)

[obtuse hedge]

has it always used affine?

[drowsy helm]

Yes

[sterile breach]

I am learning NMS, there's something I don't understand Mojang seems to want to obsfuse his code from what I understand.
But there are mappings (spigot and mojang) it's the nms code that's been "unoffusced", why would mojang unoffusc his code if he's made an effort to offend him? I don't understand.

[lost matrix]

The code is no longer obfuscated

[drowsy helm]

Whos being offended

[sterile breach]

mojang has decided to stop obfuscating you mean?

[shadow night]

mojang obfuscates their code but ships mappings to deobfuscate it

[sterile breach]

why obfuscate it if its to give tools to unobfuscat?

I am note sur to understand

[shadow night]

I think it's because of proguard minimization, to save space, but Idrk

[sterile breach]

ah okay

[obtuse hedge]

Do you know what they changed in models between 1.8 and 1.9

[pseudo hazel]

1.9 is ancient

[worldly ingot]

Minimization purposes and because the game still isn't open for distribution. Keeping it obfuscated is a way for Mojang to say "Hey, we still want to protect our game, don't go distributing this freely please, thanks"

but give developers obfuscation mappings so we can mod more easily. Giving tools to those that know how to use them. The average Joe has no idea what an obfuscation mapping is or how to use it

[astral pilot]

is there a way to access the values of mob exp drops through reflection/nms?

[worldly ingot]

Mob experience drops aren't static. They're based on the player that killed it (if there was one) among other conditions

EntityDeathEvent has a getDroppedExp() method

[astral pilot]

isn't there a range for a specific mob?

[worldly ingot]

No it's not a range :p

[astral pilot]

wait what I thought https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Experience says it is

[humble lynx]

I don't see it mentioned

Only this:
"Fishing, breeding, and trading drop a single orb with a random value in the appropriate range"

But I imagine the relevant events would have a getExp method

[drowsy helm]

Are you still part of that team that has comms with mojang devs?

[worldly ingot]

Those are just experience orbs which have a maximum value of a short, but when dropping from an entity it's not a range. It's just some value that gets modified based on the circumstances of the entity's death

[worldly ingot]

Yes

[drowsy helm]

Are there opportunities to ask for feature requests or is it more just technical stuff

[obtuse hedge]

still

I need to know

[mint nova]

Thanks bro

[grim hound]

hey @lilac dagger

you didn't ultimately get a response, right?

[lilac dagger]

oh yeah, i didn't

but i can do it now i guess, you just have to send the right packets

[grim hound]

99% of people there were like

restarted

[grim hound]

yeah I'm still wondering

whether I should do that for every single version

cuz via doesn't support bungee

also, can I stop the bungeecord from kicking a player if it has no servers?

[lilac dagger]

you could make a server actually

[grim hound]

it'd need to be a spigot server

cuz via doesn't support other engines

and I need a limbo server

fake limbo server

[lilac dagger]

yeah i know

that's what i needed too if i remember

ultimately i dropped the idea/too much time to figure it out

but now i would just fork the minecraft server and remove as much of it as possible

leaving only a few things running

oh yeah wait

there's a fake server thingy

open source minecraft server

[grim hound]

minestom

[lilac dagger]

search it up, i think it's what you're looking for

someone showed it to me some time ago

[grim hound]

I'm thinking of starting it from within the plugin itself

BUT

2 things

1. The scratch version which I like better doesn't have a single fucking working build

2. It only supports 1 minecraft version

[lilac dagger]

look up how via version supports multiple

[grim hound]

hmm

[lilac dagger]

since it's open source you could impl the basic in minestom

[grim hound]

so you're saying I should use the ViaLoader?

[river oracle]

I mean really it's lots of packet fakery that could 100% be done with minestom

[grim hound]

yeah I know

[river oracle]

Just lie to the client 💯

[grim hound]

but still

only 1 version and the scratch version doesn't have any builds

[grim hound]

I mean most plugins do that already

I'll just be doing

more

I guess I will try

still hate that bungee doesn't have a proxy -> backend event and refuses to add it

[raw epoch]

Hello ! is it possible to send a ressource pack proxy side using bungeecord ?

[chrome beacon]

I don't think that's part of the api

but sending the packets yourself would work

[raw epoch]

okok ty

[astral pilot]

but pretty sure there is a function that calculates it

anyways what is the most efficient way to get head of all mobs

[sterile breach]

I am learning NMS. If we use a mapped version (mojang for example) to code a plugin and then we execute it in a server, how it can work? methods and variables names will not be same (because we coded it in mapped version and server is in "obfuscated" version)

[wispy junco]

Hi guys i have a problem when the block break event is cancelled and trying to open the chest inside of it they can open instead of not opening it

[livid heron]

guys how do i use the permission attribute for commands in the yaml file

i want a command to be op only

[tardy delta]

thats interact event

[pseudo hazel]

I think its like default: op or smth

[livid heron]

default isnt a command attribute though i dont think

[quick sluice]

can someone help me
https://prnt.sc/2SINpzpYn2_W

[shadow night]

exactly, I am working on a remapper rn lol

But it doesn't re-obfuscate, spigot has its own mappings which server jars are in

[shadow night]

It is mostly obfuscated, fields and methods are, but classes aren't

Yep

[sterile breach]

Yes is that find

[silent ridge]

Someone can do a dayz texturepack? With 3d guns for my dayz server

[shadow night]

Nowadays there isn't that much of a difference, the only unobfuscated things are classes, butnbefore mojmaps existed (or were used by spigot), fields and methods were also remapped by spigot

Well, that's before spigot was mojmapped

There was the time between 1.14-1.17 when mojmaps did exist but they weren't utilized by spigot

I was planning to write my own buildtools (I don't really like the current buildtools) so I might change that lol

Yep

There is this project #1243264378522959914 that we are working on to make it less stuff to implement, but it doesn't really give you the ability to directly use nms if you wanna use more than 2 or 3 versions

Nah, multi modules

It's basically that you have like 12 "seperate" projects that all implement the same interface and are shaded into your final plugin

no, not really

You just have 12 implementations of one class in your jar and you only load the one you need, so no class not found exceptions

np

[livid heron]

guys how do i use selectors in my command 🥺

[livid heron]

but can i use that for @p?

[pseudo hazel]

yes

if you read what the docs say

you should be able to use @p for the selector string

[livid heron]

the only issue im seeing is i can't access the returned entities' inventories

[lost matrix]

How so

If they have inventories, you can access them

[livid heron]

like the entity class doesn't have the getInventory() method

[lost matrix]

Because not all Entities have inventories

[livid heron]

yes

[pseudo hazel]

I think they need to be upcasted to atleast living entity

but if its gonna be players, might as well use that

[lost matrix]

If you specifically want their inventories, simply check if they are an instance of InventoryHolder

[livid heron]

even if i check that how would i actually turn them into something i can edit the inventory of?

[lost matrix]

Or if you just want players, check if they are an instance of Player

[lost matrix]

By... casting them

[pseudo hazel]

this is a basic java issue I guess

[livid heron]

i guess

i might be a little slow

[pseudo hazel]

well casting is a pretty basic concept you should know about before trying all kinds of tricks with plugins xD

[livid heron]

yeah i didnt recognize it by name

i do know what it is though

[lost matrix]

List<Entity> entities = ...;
for(Entity entity : entities) {
  if(!(entity instanceof Player)) {
    continue;
  }
  Player player = (Player) entity;
}

*Always check before casting

[livid heron]

thanks

[pseudo hazel]

a trick is to just create the player variable right inside the check

like if (entity instanceof Player player) allows you to use player inside that scope

but thats pretty much the basics

[lost matrix]

Lets let him discorver instanceof pattern matching. Its an implicit cast which can be confusing for ppl.

[pseudo hazel]

smile showed kinda the classic stuff

yeah I guess

pattern matching my beloved

[livid heron]

thanks guys 👍

[brittle geyser]

java 17 i think

or 11

[pseudo hazel]

yeah

[livid heron]

im using java 22

[pseudo hazel]

you should be on java 21 by now

[livid heron]

it's me again, i looked online to try and make a command only avaliable to ops and this is what i came up with but it didn't work, i think something is wrong with the permissions attribute but idk what

  givearrow:
    description: Gives a player a rideable arrow.
permissions:
  rideablearrow.givearrow:
    default: op```

i believe it's something to do with the path

i dont know where that should point

[brittle geyser]

commands:
givearrow:
permission: *
aliases:
- givearw

[livid heron]

what does permission: * do?

[chrome beacon]

bad idea

* is generally used as a wildcard

You shouldn't use it like that

[livid heron]

what should i put instead?

[hybrid spoke]

just some permission required for your command to work

[livid heron]

but i can't just put permission: op right?

[young knoll]

If you want that you use default: OP

But you should still add a permission

[livid heron]

im not sure what you mean

[jaunty sonnet]

how can I reset them to appear at all 0?

[livid heron]

i figured it out

[pseudo hazel]

are there any openScreen packet wizards here? I wanna change my title, but it only seems to work if I am doing it as a result of a click or drag event, not when I am updating it on a timer or after opening or smth

[lost matrix]

Are you using the API method to set the title?

[pseudo hazel]

well i tried but ideally I want to use components

and for the api I need to keep track of the view which im not doing rn xD

[river oracle]

I think ik a decent amount about that topic tbh. But it's always possible mojang patched or damaged the quirk that allows that to work well

I can't exactly go about testing that till I get off work

[lost matrix]

  public static void sendInventoryTitleChange(@NotNull InventoryView view, @NotNull Component title) {

[river oracle]

Ope ofc smile has the code :3

[pseudo hazel]

ah sorry I forgot to tell you i am not on nms

I am using packetevents to send packets

[lost matrix]

Then just translate this to packetevents 🙂

[pseudo hazel]

wait you can do this with packetevents?

i thought that was just for packets

[lost matrix]

I know that you can do this with Plib

The method above simply constructs a packet and sends it to the player

[pseudo hazel]

oh wait you are just using the player to get the id

[river oracle]

All you need is the menu type, title, and current window ID

[pseudo hazel]

yes I did that

so I tried that method but it didnt work

it only worked if I send it in a click event

but if I send it like in a few ticks after opening or after some time it fails to update

util I click somewhere

[worthy yarrow]

Hey you're pink again

[eager turtle]

yo

i swear there was a way to make Text Displays only visible to one player without using packets?

[river oracle]

Does the API method still work?

[pseudo hazel]

yes

which is why I am confused

but its not the one I wanna use ideally

since I need to use a string and it needs to be set using the view

[river oracle]

Weird considering that's all that , that method does is send the open packet

[pseudo hazel]

hmm

[river oracle]

Are you sure you have the ID correct?

[pseudo hazel]

pretty sure

I dont have a solid way to check

[river oracle]

You might wanna temporarily add nms and double check

[pseudo hazel]

rn im printing the id when I catch it and it doesnt change

[river oracle]

Oh

Well tbf idfk then.

[pseudo hazel]

like I said when I just click in the ionventory it suddenly thinks it has items (which it shouldve had from the start)

hmm

ill test some more with the api method ig

[river oracle]

Are you updating the inventory

After you change the title with the api updateInv method

[pseudo hazel]

I am using player.updateInventory right after the setTitle, which does appear to work but it flickers

but its not the end of the world

since it only updates the title on certain item changes

[river oracle]

Weird

[pseudo hazel]

but now I dont remember if the API one also flickered

hmm that one seems fine..

I could still have a tick delay somewhere though, but I think ill know what to do from here, thanks for the help both of you 😄

[jaunty sonnet]

?

[worthy yarrow]

Sounds like #help-server question

[peak depot]

how do you get the minecraft font

like for bossbar

[zealous scroll]

Is there a way to increase the view range for a display entity further than a couple chunks? I'm trying to have a big block display falling down from the sky but its range is very short even after settings its view range up to 64

[pseudo hazel]

what do you mean by minecraft font exactly?

[wet breach]

well there is a few factors, what the server has set for view range and entity range and client view range. Then there is just some render limits depending what it is and may require a mod to view things further away

[peak depot]

the green is the one I want and the wither is the default thing

[tardy delta]

want buy use command

https://tenor.com/view/good-burger-some-of-these-gif-12933391

[pseudo hazel]

wait what, how is that default, are you using a resource pack?

the green text is a subset of the default minecraft font, like you can get here https://small-caps-font-generator.pages.dev/

and then you paste it into some string or into chat

but idk why your font is looking all smooth

[mint nova]

welcome_message: "&fWitaj na naszym serwerze &a%player%&f !"

        String msg = plugin.getConfig().getString("welcome_message");
        assert msg != null;
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        msg.replace("%player%", player.getDisplayName());

        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', msg));

Why its not replacing?

[tardy delta]

read the docs of replace

[mint nova]

like this?

oh wait

i just do msg = and it didnt work but now i just look and I dont upload the new plugin build

by english bad bro

i need to upload it wait

[wet breach]

https://tenor.com/view/you-can-have-half-potato-attack-on-titan-anime-sharing-gif-11409045

[mint nova]

yea its working now thanks

[nova notch]

hey i just watched that yesterday

[young knoll]

Not to judge

But that’s not really half

[quaint mantle]

1/3

[nova notch]

shes called potato girl cus her brain is also similar to that of a potato

[wet breach]

I only posted it as a joke to the one named full potatoe

lol

[worthy yarrow]

public Vector determinePlotOffset(UUID playerId) {
        if (plotOffsets.containsKey(playerId)) {
            return plotOffsets.get(playerId);
        }

        int plotSize = 100;
        int plotIndex = plotOffsets.size();
        int x = (plotIndex % 10) * plotSize;
        int z = (plotIndex / 10) * plotSize;

        return new Vector(x, 64, z);
    }```

Do we think like 100 blocks of spacing is enough for plots?

[hazy parrot]

Yeah good luck through season 4

[sleek estuary]

this rules are redudant?

[analog lantern]

how do i change the length of a vector?

im doing lerping, so i have a vector from one point to another and i was just gonna set the length of that vector to my t value and then get the point where the vector ends

and ez pz

but i cant find the method to control vector length

is it just subtract and add?

[worldly ingot]

normalize().multiply(scale)

[analog lantern]

oh so i can just normalize and then multiply by t?

[worldly ingot]

normalize() will make it a unit vector (change its length to 1), then multiply() is a multiplication and 1 times anything is just the other term

[analog lantern]

wait i dont even have to normalize i just realized t is a float between 0 and 1

i can just multiply

to get that % on a line

[worldly ingot]

Yeah but if you have x = 1, y = 1, and z = 1, then that's not a unit vector because its length is longer than 1

[analog lantern]

its a vector between a location and another and t is just trying to get the point at t on that line

so like picture t * 100 if t = 0.5 im trying to find the 50% point on the line

or...half the vector's length

so i think i can just multiply the vector by t

[worldly ingot]

Yes

Just be aware that multiply() will mutate the vector's components

[analog lantern]

i cloned it first

[worldly ingot]

So you might want to clone() then multiply()

Ye

[sleek estuary]

this being called on rightclick

how i make to call leftclick too

thx

[prime tartan]

hi guys, i was wondering if anyone could help me. i'm trying to replicate a disc like shape (with a small hole in the middle) but i can't figure out how to fill the disc in and put a small hole in it. currently i have this right now with the following code, anyone have an idea?

    private void spawnDisc() {
        for (int angle = 0; angle < 360; angle += 5) {
            double radian = Math.toRadians(angle);
            double x = Math.cos(radian);
            double z = Math.sin(radian);
            Location eclipse = origin.clone().add(x * 0.17, 0, z * 0.17);
            BlockDisplay blockDisplay = (BlockDisplay) player.getWorld().spawnEntity(eclipse, EntityType.BLOCK_DISPLAY);
            blockDisplay.setBlock(material.createBlockData());
            blockDisplay.setGravity(false);
            blockDisplay.setInvulnerable(true);
            Transformation transformation = new Transformation(
                    //translation
                    new Vector3f(),
                    //rotation
                    new Quaternionf(),
                    //scale
                    new Vector3f(.1f, .05f, .1f),
                    //another extra rotation at the end i think
                    new Quaternionf()
            );
            blockDisplay.setTransformation(transformation);

            display.add(blockDisplay);
        }
    }```

[analog lantern]

use PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent

interact events cover left & right click

[warm mica]

Depends on how you want to fill it. If you want to fill it as lines, you will need to know both coordinates, for which the second point (the point on the other side of the circle) is simply the subtraction of 180 in the context of your code

[prime tartan]

where am i subtracting 180

[violet blade]

this might be a dumb question but this will global all the permissions that are like " example.use.2 , example.use.3 " etc?

[eternal oxide]

Depends

vanilla Spigot no. Wildcards are not supported by Bukkit.

Luckperms modifies Bukkit to handle wildcards

Most other perms plugins with Vault support wildcards

same as the plugin

[tepid turret]

public class InvincibleBoats implements Listener {

    private Keys keys = new Keys();

    @EventHandler
    private void invincibleBoats(EntityDamageEvent event) {
        Entity boat =  event.getEntity();
        Bukkit.getLogger().info("Entity Damaged!");
        if (boat.getPersistentDataContainer().has(keys.getClaimed())) {
            Bukkit.getLogger().info("Entity Damaged is Claimed!");
            event.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }
}

Solved: VehicleDamageEvent for boats and minecarts etc. (VehicleDestroyEvent also exists)

this returns "Entity Damaged!" when player takes fall damage

but doesnt return "Entity Damaged!" or anything when a boat is hit

am i looking at the wrong event?

[violet blade]

ok, ty

[potent atlas]

what's up guys! I'm working on a plugin that has particle wings. I'm trying to keep the rotation relevant to the player's -body- not the head. I've tried some math and vectors and rotations, I even tried packets. the body rotation is not handled by the server. is this possible or am I wasting my time? 😛

[eager turtle]

Dude why are my TextDisplays only visible from one side

i just want them to work like an invisible armor stand

[eager turtle]

display.setBillboard(Display.Billboard.CENTER);

nvm

[wooden zodiac]

How to make plugin use "&" color codes instead of § in config file

[tepid turret]

Well im pretty sure it would be possible cuz servers such as hypixel have it dont they?

[agile anvil]

Use the ChatColor#translateAlternateColorCodes method on the strings of your config.
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/ChatColor.html#translateAlternateColorCodes(char,java.lang.String)

[potent atlas]

hypixel wings rotate with the head. I checked, as I have some on there

the idea is to wait for a player to move their head far enough to begin rotating the body and thus the wings. I tried the math with angles and yaw and such for this method but I couldn't quite get it right. any help?

[tepid turret]

No clue hahaha sorry

[potent atlas]

thanks anyways 😛

[tepid turret]

No problem!

[tepid turret]

Change entity type while keeping its data?

[smoky anchor]

Do elaborate

[hushed spindle]

is there a crafter craft event

or can it be derived from an ItemCraftEvent

[tepid turret]

as in like i have a boat with PDC data saved to it etc, and i want to convert it to a chestboat while a players riding it without kicking the player off

[smoky anchor]

I do not believe something like this is possible.
To "change an entity type" is to despawn entity of type A and spawn new entity of type B

[slate surge]

Hey! How to send a custom minecraft:brand?

[tepid turret]

what?

you mean send your own minecraft:

like yourpluginname:

[slate surge]

nope

I want to send a custom server brand

[tepid turret]

what do you mean?

custom server brand?

and send it to what?

[slate surge]

mhm

[slate surge]

client

[drowsy helm]

You have to fork spigot and change it

[slate surge]

umm

[drowsy helm]

There might be a packet for it

[molten needle]

Hello

[slate surge]

Atm I have this but it doesnt seem to work quite well

@Subscribe
    public void onServerConnectedEvent(ServerConnectedEvent event)
    {
        this.proxy.getScheduler().buildTask(this.plugin, () -> {
            ByteArrayDataOutput out = ByteStreams.newDataOutput();
            out.writeUTF("CoreVelocity");
            event.getPlayer().sendPluginMessage(this.IDENTIFIER, out.toByteArray());
            System.out.println("Sending Core Velocity message to player");
        }).delay(5L, TimeUnit.SECONDS).schedule();
    }```

[molten needle]

I can't use QuicShop because server crashes.

Why so?

[slate surge]

changes the server brand but doesn't change it to what I need

[slate surge]

prob ask on their github

omg

i am in the wrong dc

smh

[tepid turret]

Avoid using System.out.println() try using Bukkit#getLogger#info

[slate surge]

that was for a debug I wont use that in production after all

[tepid turret]

still for debuging I suggest using Bukkit.getLogger().info()

[slate surge]

umm

ok ig

[tepid turret]

or Bukkit.getLogger().warn()

[molten needle]

https://mclo.gs/CYoM2Sd help?

[slate surge]

your quickshop is not original

reinstall the plugin

[molten needle]

Huh?

[slate surge]

QuickShop v5.1.2.5

[molten needle]

Don't understand...

[slate surge]

"The QuickShop jar has been modified"

[molten needle]

Different version?

[slate surge]

nono

just reinstall the plugin

[molten needle]

I did 4 times

Previously

[slate surge]

umm

did u get any plugin on your server from a user over discord or unauth site?

[molten needle]

Uhh no

Only from Aternos

[slate surge]

ahh

"Remapping plugin 'plugins/QuickShop-5.1.2.5.jar'"

[molten needle]

That plugin is premioum?

[slate surge]

umm

[molten needle]

Or smth

[slate surge]

it is a quckshop thing

[molten needle]

Idkkk nothing

[slate surge]

they didn't update it for 1.21

[molten needle]

Oh...

[slate surge]

and spigot is doing it

and so the sign is changed

[molten needle]

Okay, so i need to wait for new version?

[slate surge]

ye

[molten needle]

They didn't say when it will come out?

[slate surge]

the last update was over a year ago

no wonder it doesn't work

[molten needle]

Ohh..

😦

So I will delete it so my server don't crash

[slate surge]

ye

[molten needle]

Okay, Thank You!

[slate surge]

np

[molten needle]

❤️

[smoky anchor]

Tho in the log you sent first there were many different issues

[slate surge]

other people have it too

[slate surge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[molten needle]

Yes, that was long tjme ago log, sent incorrect one, because it was copied

[molten needle]

Ohh ok

[eternal night]

The plugin just isn't updated for paper

[molten needle]

Ok!

Thanks

[eternal night]

Could try https://github.com/EarthMC/QuickShop-Reremake

The warrior guy seems competent enough

[molten needle]

Oh ok

How do I install it?

Idk, sorry:(

[eternal night]

oh, you are on aternos right?

yea then I guess you can't

[molten needle]

Yes:>

Oh.

😦

[eternal night]

You'd have to compile it yourself, but aternos does not allow you to just run custom stuff does it?

[molten needle]

Uhh I guess not...

[slate surge]

nope it doesnt

[molten needle]

Oh well... 😦

I will wait then

And Do You guys have any idea, why does networkErrorprotocol show up when mob deals damage, and everybody gets kicked who doesnt have premium acc?

Thats because Cracked isn't supported by Mojang?

Or different cause?

[slate surge]

does your server have via plugins?

viaversion etc

[molten needle]

Yes, ViaVersion

[slate surge]

umm

update it

and

add

viabackwards forward etc

[molten needle]

Idk how it really workd,

[slate surge]

umm

[molten needle]

Oh, so you need all 3 of them?

[slate surge]

ye

[molten needle]

I thought im free to go with 1...

Okay, I will try.

[slate surge]

no u r not

[molten needle]

Thanks.

[slate surge]

alr

[molten needle]

Wait, so Via Version, Via Rewind, and.. .. ?

[slate surge]

via backwards

um

no wait

[molten needle]

Via Backwards?

[slate surge]

um m

wait wait

[molten needle]

Ok..

[slate surge]

ye

[molten needle]

:>

[slate surge]

viabackwards

[molten needle]

Okay!

😄

[slate surge]

revind

and version

[molten needle]

Great! And it will fix the problem?

Yes, i have all 3 now

Btw, Aternos staff said that its because Cracked isn't supported by Mojang and i m using Cracked, my friends are not using Cracked and they dont get kicked but i do

Because of some plugins that are encountering with Cracked

Smth like that

ChatGPT said that it could be via version

Understand?

[smoky anchor]

Solution: buy the game

[molten needle]

30€ no ty:(

But other servers with plugins i dont get kicked

[smoky anchor]

It's 30€ for possibly lifetime of entertainment
I'd say that's cheap

[molten needle]

So i think it could be the Via

[molten needle]

Parents wouldnt let me

[slate surge]

my account got scammed and now microsoft doesn't seem to care

i had open 6 tickets in 1 month

:>

[smoky anchor]

I am sadly aware of this horrible situation where they do not give a single piece of shit even if you have all the evidence that you own the account.

[slate surge]

ye

same

they said I will get it back in 3 days

over a month now

[smoky anchor]

I have this resource that might possible help, not sure tho, thankfully I never had to use it

[grim hound]

set online mode to false

when is the kick happening?

[smoky anchor]

They have that

[smoky anchor]

here

[grim hound]

then what version?

[slate surge]

1.21

[grim hound]

it can be various things

like I sent experience packets a little bit too early during play phase

and the player also crashed with that message

try without any plugins

or join on the very same version as the server

[molten needle]

I'm playing 1.21 as the server,

[molten needle]

How?

[hushed spindle]

is there any event fired when a crafter block crafts something

or can it be derived from a CraftItemEvent

[slender elbow]

no

[gilded granite]

Why is orange not a ChatColor ?

[river oracle]

You can use any hex color now

Not sure why you couldn't do that

Stop using the archaic legacy chat

[gilded granite]

what is the new then?

Color.ORANGE ?

[iron cave]

hex colors

[gilded granite]

how do I use them

[river oracle]

Use components or the hex format

[gilded granite]

can you give me an example of it in a string?

[river oracle]

I don't have the section character since I'm US so I'll give you the ampersand instead
&x&a&b&c&d&e&f

Or just use components kekw
new ComponentBuilder()

And send with CommandSender#spigot()

[slender elbow]

mfw orange

we have ✨ gold ✨

[blazing ocean]

this is what the legacy chat colour people want us to believe is the future

reject chat colours, embrace components

[river oracle]

Components are too verbose this is why we extension function a string :3

[blazing ocean]

well yeah ig, i sometimes ext-fun strings for making components

but legacy chat doesn't even allow you to use fonts

[river oracle]

MiniMessage 💪

[blazing ocean]

mm my beloved

[river oracle]

Well I have my own equivalent

But yeah

[slender elbow]

🤮

plain strings ftw

[blazing ocean]

👀

[river oracle]

It's not equivalent 100% but it's close enough

[river oracle]

Honestly component builders are crazy verbose it's unrealistic

[blazing ocean]

    private fun getContent(player: Player) = buildText {
        appendNegSpace(-4)
        append(RACE_BACKGROUND)
        appendNegSpace(-41)

            val currentLap = instance.gameData.laps[player.uniqueId] ?: 1
            append("LAP ")
            append(currentLap.toString())
            append("/")
            append(AceRaceInstance.MAX_LAP.toString())

            gold()
        })
        font(Fonts.RACE_TIMER)
    }
``` whatever this is ftw

[pseudo hazel]

private fun why are you keeping all the fun to yourself

[blazing ocean]

should i rather do open fun?

or actual fun

[tepid turret]

@EventHandler
    private void onInventoryChanged(InventoryMoveItemEvent event){
        Bukkit.getLogger().info("real");
        if (!(event.getSource().getHolder() instanceof Player)) {
            Bukkit.getLogger().info("realest shiz ever bro!");
            return;
        }
        if (event.getItem().getItemMeta().getPersistentDataContainer().has(keys.getRegistered()) || event.getItem().getItemMeta().getPersistentDataContainer().has(keys.getPreviousEnchantLevel())) {
            Bukkit.getLogger().info("wat");
            if (event.getSource() != event.getDestination()) {
                Bukkit.getLogger().info("Shoulda cancelles!");
                event.setCancelled(true);
            }
        }
    }

when moving an item from the palyers inventory to chest

nothing happens

BUT

    @EventHandler
    private void onLeftBoat(VehicleExitEvent event) {
        Bukkit.getLogger().info("wat");
        if (!(event.getExited() instanceof Player)) {
            return;
        }
        if (!(event.getVehicle() instanceof Boat || event.getVehicle() instanceof ChestBoat)) {
            return;
        }
        Entity boat = event.getVehicle();
        Player player = (Player) event.getExited();
        if (!boat.getPersistentDataContainer().has(keys.getBoatUpgrades())) {
            return;
        }
        enchantRemover(boat, player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand());
    }

this in the same class outputs "wat" like expected

[pseudo hazel]

actual fun sounds good

what does appendnegspace do

[blazing ocean]

appends a negative space

[pseudo hazel]

and does -40 mean it append 40 negative space or minus negative = positive space

[blazing ocean]

-40

[pseudo hazel]

so why is it called negative space and not just space

[slender elbow]

suspend fun

[blazing ocean]

because uhhhh

why not

[young knoll]

smh

[pseudo hazel]

because its backwards

[young knoll]

fix it

[blazing ocean]

    fun TextBuilder.appendNegSpace(space: Int) {
        append(buildText {
            append(negativeSpaces.getChar(space).toString())
            font(negativeSpaces.fontKey.toString())
        })
    }

[young knoll]

negative space is great

Mojang should add it as a built in font fr

[blazing ocean]

eh

[pseudo hazel]

fr fr

[blazing ocean]

it's so simple

not really any need to ngl

[pseudo hazel]

its pretty easy to borrow some elses font though

[blazing ocean]

this is so simple like lmfao, no need for them to imp

class NegativeSpaces(
    val fontKey: Key = Key("minecraft", "default"),
    val range: IntRange = -8192 .. 8192
) : PackedPlugin {
    val advances = buildMap {
        range.forEachIndexed { i, it ->
            put((START_UNICODE + i).toChar(), it.toDouble())
        }
    }.toMutableMap()

    override fun beforeSave(pack: ResourcePack) {
        pack.addFont {
            key = fontKey

            space {
                advances = [e-mail]
            }

[young knoll]

But then you don't have to use a resource pack!

[blazing ocean]

most servers nowadays use one anyway

[tardy delta]

thats sure one way to make code that looks like a dead animal

[blazing ocean]

yea it works tho

[obtuse hedge]

tf

just use &6

doofus

[river oracle]

That's gold not orange

Not to mention legacy chat is stupid anyways

[blazing ocean]

components >>>>

[obtuse hedge]

components suck 👎

[quaint mantle]

love components

[drowsy helm]

False

Use adventure and you’ll say otherwise

Or try and do anything more complex then colouring text and youll see

[eternal oxide]

If you just want text then yes Components are overkill. If you want interactions/popups then components are essential

[obtuse hedge]

I don't want to build a component every time I want to send a colored message or use a colored text

[blazing ocean]

i use them so much

[lost matrix]

I still remember when they deprecated strings and i ended up with 40 lines of code replacing 2 previous ones.

[drowsy helm]

Try a clickable text with an alternate font

[blazing ocean]

wait until the legacy chat people tell me to use the default font with some special unicodes for shit

[obtuse hedge]

.

[blazing ocean]

well this is a hud overlay

[obtuse hedge]

also

one line becomes 100

[drowsy helm]

Yeah it’s overkill for regular text

[obtuse hedge]

one line ^ 2

[lost matrix]

Use Minimessage

[blazing ocean]

just means that you had one line that was 500 chars long

[lost matrix]

And build a regularized message system

[obtuse hedge]

what does that even mean

[lost matrix]

Msg.sendInfo(player, "You have bought {}x {} for {} {}!", amount, itemName, price, Eco.currencyName());

[blazing ocean]

rust format!() ❤️

[obtuse hedge]

? and how does that affect color

[drowsy helm]

String interpolation when

[obtuse hedge]

&c&lYou are &6not &apermitted &bto &4&ldo this

[blazing ocean]

kotlin users:

[obtuse hedge]

what if I want fruity text, diff color for each letter

[blazing ocean]

this is so incredibly shit how can people call this good

[drowsy helm]

Surely lombok could add it

[blazing ocean]

minimessage <rainbow> moment

[lost matrix]

It depends on an interface

public interface MessageFormat {

  String format(String message);

  <T> String formatObject(T object);

}

Example implementation for infos:

public class InfoFormat implements MessageFormat {

  public static final String PREFIX = "<bold><green>\uD83D\uDEC8 <gray>»</bold>";
  public static final String OBJECT_COLOR = "<#fff16f>";
  public static final String BASE_COLOR = "<#e0e0e0>";

  @Override
  public String format(String message) {
    return PREFIX + " " + BASE_COLOR + message;
  }

  @Override
  public <T> String formatObject(T object) {
    return OBJECT_COLOR + object.toString() + BASE_COLOR;
  }
}

[obtuse hedge]

html vibes

also

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

[blazing ocean]

there's a reason it's called legacy

[lost matrix]

Yeah, thats utter garbage compared to MiniMessage

[obtuse hedge]

that is just not

that is not it

there is no single InfoFormat

each message has its own colors

i would have 1000 classes if I did that

[blazing ocean]

well yeah

[river oracle]

I wish spigot would remove legacy I yearn for the complaining that people have when they have to use an actual sophisticated and far superior coloring text system

[obtuse hedge]

something like this could work

sendMessage(ORANGE + "Well " + RED + "you " + GREEN + "tried.")

still messy

[blazing ocean]

mfw linear components

[lost matrix]

That sounds like an absolute mess. UX design tells you to create a standardized coloring system and not color
everything on the go to your liking.

Define one format, and use it throughout your project.
If you need to change colors, change the format.

[blazing ocean]

they're literally that

[eternal night]

imagine if you could just sendMessage("<orange>Well <red>you <green>tried")

[river oracle]

Damn but that's too long or something

[obtuse hedge]

typing &a is faster, also I prefer the legacy colors

[slender elbow]

wtf even is &a

red is red, i know that much

a is... a?

[blazing ocean]

linear(LIGHT_PURPLE, text("▍ ɪѕʟᴀɴᴅᴘʀᴀᴄᴛɪᴄᴇ"), GRAY, text(" - "), RED, text("ᴀʟᴘʜᴀ"))

[drowsy helm]

It’s also an arbitrary code

[obtuse hedge]

wtf is this shit

[river oracle]

I think A is green right?

[blazing ocean]

linear components

[slender elbow]

i think a is light blue or smth idk

[lost matrix]

The tags are resolved by MiniMessage in the end:

sender.sendMessage(MiniMessage.miniMessage().deserialize(formatted));

"formatted" could be

String formatted = "<red>Error";
or
String formatted = "<bold><#fff16f>Info";

[river oracle]

I stg it's lime I think

[obtuse hedge]

someone will code up a quick lib or Regex pattern to re-add it

[river oracle]

There we go md we can remove legacy text now

[obtuse hedge]

why dont they add & support also

[river oracle]

Someone will make a library

[eternal night]

"typing is faster"

[river oracle]

Faster typing >>>>> far superior and more powerful text system with sensible naming

[lost matrix]

What would be the benefit to that? (Btw you can create your own tags in MiniMessage if you want to add support for that)

[obtuse hedge]

breaking all previous existing plugins

[blazing ocean]

spigot moment

[eternal night]

honestly

[obtuse hedge]

unless someone adds a plugin to mixin/re-add the sendMessage(String) method

[eternal night]

the commodore could would not be that hard

[river oracle]

It wouldn't

Commodore

[slender elbow]

i'm just waiting until mojang removes section formatting rendering from the client altogether tbh

[eternal night]

[river oracle]

I can't imagine they will unless it ever gets in there way of adding something

[slender elbow]

i mean

[eternal night]

I mean, at this point it is completely useless

and already breaks things if included in components

[slender elbow]

the only place where they were semi-useful was scoreboard

but now you have score display names

plus they have confirmed it will be removed

[river oracle]

Speaking of components choco :3

[river oracle]

Oh really

[eternal night]

chocoooo

[river oracle]

That's nice

[slender elbow]

a couple of years ago yeah

[obtuse hedge]

years ago lol

[blazing ocean]

just use paper runs

[obtuse hedge]

purpur

[river oracle]

Lowk forgot I was at work

I'm supposed to be working rn

I really don't want to sand this trim

It's so mind numbingly boring

[obtuse hedge]

(§.)([^§]*)

[obtuse hedge]

how do you expect me to use color in minecraft resource packs >:(

[obtuse hedge]

https://imgur.com/a/z4T4xU5

now you can map it

and make a component from it

[blazing ocean]

wtf is that filter

oh does js add whitespace

[obtuse hedge]

i think

was just a quick way to test it

theres prob no whitespace in java or python

[blazing ocean]

yea

[hard socket]

should I update a scoreboard through calling the method each time I need the scoreboard to change or sould I use a single runnable that handles it for each team

[lilac dagger]

which method?

[obtuse hedge]

How can I get a decent time like "1 hour 12 minutes" string from seconds?

is there some Date api I can use?

[hard socket]

a method that edit the scoreboard and sends it to players

[lilac dagger]

@NotNull
    public static String secondsTo24HClock(int seconds) {
        int hours = seconds / 3600;
        int minutes = (seconds % 3600) / 60;
        seconds %= 60;

        char[] buffer = new char[] { '0', '0', ':', '0', '0', ':', '0', '0' };

        fillBuffer(buffer, 3, minutes);
        fillBuffer(buffer, 6, seconds);

        if (hours > 0) {
            fillBuffer(buffer, 0, hours % 24);
            return new String(buffer, 0, 8);
        }
        return new String(buffer, 3, 5);
    }```

[lilac dagger]

try this ^

you can of course edit it to display it in your own style

[lilac dagger]

just update the teams

[hard socket]

ok

[obtuse hedge]

mk

that doesnt look like what I want

i want a human representation of

"1 hour 45 minutes and 15 seconds"

I changed it to this with help of GPT

public static String getHumanReadableTime(int seconds) {
    int hours = seconds / 3600;
    int minutes = (seconds % 3600) / 60;
    seconds %= 60;
    
    StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
    
    if (hours > 0) {
        result.append(hours).append(" hour" + (hours > 1 ? "s" : ""));
    }
    
    if (minutes > 0) {
        if (hours > 0) result.append(" and ");
        result.append(minutes).append(" minute" + (minutes > 1 ? "s" : ""));
    }
    
    if (seconds > 0 || result.length() == 0) {
        if (hours > 0 || minutes > 0) result.append(" and ");
        result.append(seconds).append(" second"  + (seconds > 1 ? "s" : ""));
    }
    
    return result.toString().trim();
}

[lilac dagger]

You could've done this without the help of chat gpt

[obtuse hedge]

yea i could of

[tardy delta]

bruh just use a datetime formatter

[ivory sleet]

DateTimeFormatter is the java way

[obtuse hedge]

ok

no one told me it existed

how do I use it with seconds

[ivory sleet]

I mean java has packages just for time related stuff, so in the future it’s a good place to start looking for things

Instant.ofSeconds() iirc

[low marlin]

I need help with pathfinding, I want to have a wither skeleton mob where there will be 4 skeletons following him and whenever they see a player they all start attacking him
I tried

this.targetSelector.addGoal(1, (new HurtByTargetGoal(this, new Class[] {magmaMinions.class, magmaCaptain.class})).setAlertOthers(new Class[0]));
        this.targetSelector.addGoal(2, new NearestAttackableTargetGoal(this, Chicken.class, true));
        
        this.goalSelector.addGoal(3, new FollowMobGoal(this, 1, 3f, 10f));

But they just follow the leader until the leader dies and then they attack me

[obtuse hedge]

epoch second hmm

[ivory sleet]

well there should be a static factory method to construct an instant from the unit seconds

[obtuse hedge]

is epoch any diff to normal

[ivory sleet]

yea, it is

[obtuse hedge]

oh

there is no just ofSeconds

[ivory sleet]

ugh wait Im confusing it with Duration.ofSeconds woops

[obtuse hedge]

and im guessing toString will give me what i want

[ivory sleet]

wait you just wanna format a duration right? Not a timestamp/full date right?

[obtuse hedge]

ye

"h hours m minutes and s seconds" if it has seconds or minutes or whatever

[ivory sleet]

In that case you could use a duration, and call toSecondsPart(), toMinutesPart(), toHoursPart(), toDays() and format it with String::format

the part methods gives u the canonical remainder of given unit

toHours() gives 25 whereas toHoursPart() would give 1 since 25=1(mod 24)

[silent ridge]

Someone to help me to configure some plugins of my dayz server?

[obtuse hedge]

public static String getHumanReadableTime(int seconds) {
    Duration duration = Duration.ofSeconds(seconds);
    int hoursPart = duration.toHoursPart();
    int minutesPart = duration.toHoursPart();
    int secondsPart = duration.toHoursPart();
    
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
    
    if (hoursPart > 0) {
        builder.append(hoursPart + " hour" + (hoursPart > 1 ? "s" : ""));
    }
    
    if (minutesPart > 0) {
        if (hoursPart > 0) builder.append(" ");
        builder.append(minutesPart + " minute" + (minutesPart > 1 ? "s" : ""));
    }
    
    if (secondsPart > 0) {
        if (hoursPart > 0 || minutesPart > 0) builder.append(" and ");
        builder.append(secondsPart + " second" + (secondsPart > 1 ? "s" : ""));
    }
    
    return builder.toString();
}```

so back to the same code

lmao

[tardy delta]

so is it working?

[obtuse hedge]

idk yet

waiting for server to start

it didnt work

it resulted in 1 hour 1 minute and 1 second

when I was supposed to get

1 hour 20 minutes and 24 seconds

[tardy delta]

why dont you fix it then

[obtuse hedge]

wait

i see my bug

[pseudo hazel]

yeah it probably doesnt help taht you are using toHoursPart thrice in a row

[obtuse hedge]

lol

it works

[mellow edge]

does anyone know how to hide spectator bar that shows up if you type numbers in spectator mode? it is possible to cancel it, because it doesn't work on hypixel

[agile anvil]

It's not possible. Isn't hypixel faking the spectator mode?

[obtuse hedge]

ye

[mellow edge]

it is but when you click on the person it switches you to first person spectating

[obtuse hedge]

they all custom code that

it isnt using the vanilla functionality

[mellow edge]

honestly would you mind if you would see that but disabled

[gilded granite]

how can I add a delay between line execution?

[chrome beacon]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/scheduler-programming/

[gilded granite]

ty

[mellow edge]

I have custom code for specetator that is actually survival, like they, but when you actually enter the player's body they if it wasn't spectator then they would need to hide their hunger bar, hearts, and your items in your hotbar

[mellow edge]

so I think this one is not faked

[astral pilot]

why is EntityType.getName() deprecated

[chrome beacon]

Read the deprecation note

[astral pilot]

it just says "Magic value"

[chrome beacon]

Yeah it's a magic value. If you're trying to display it you're better off using a translatable component

[ocean hollow]

if an item does not have customModelData, does that mean it is equal to 0?

[chrome beacon]

No

Check https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/ItemMeta.html#hasCustomModelData()
