help-development

[river oracle]

it builds a much better resume imho

[ivory sleet]

either way Kat, the way people sort of get away w enums being hard to deal with over time is to interface over it, for example Java's CopyOption interface and the enum StandardCopyOption

[river oracle]

also I reccomend getting your GED atleast

[sly topaz]

I dropped out too, but I still went to audit some classes so I could get to know people and get into the circles so I know when there's an event or talks

[worthy yarrow]

I assume boot camps just teach you as if it were a trade, specifically into one topic and that’s all your training

[worthy yarrow]

Well that’s certainly first on the list, I just need to get financially stable before shipping off to school somewhere, but I’m also a huge procrastinator so that certainly does not help

[river oracle]

getting your GED should be free

[sly topaz]

yeah but time

[river oracle]

well as far as cost

the real cost is time

but considering you're still 17

[worthy yarrow]

I’m 18

Since march

[river oracle]

oh well still considering your young

[worthy yarrow]

I’ve been slacking

[sly topaz]

I'd recommend getting to it as fast as possible

[river oracle]

if you live at home your time isn't worth as much

[sly topaz]

you'll regret it when an opportunity comes and something dumb as not having a GED stops you

[worthy yarrow]

Well idk that id call it slacking, I’ve just put all my time since my brain injury into coding so I guess that’s productive

[river oracle]

GED GED GED seriously a highschool degree goes so far. Not going to college definitely is excusable but getting a GED is paramount

[worthy yarrow]

It’s weird, I’ve never been one to read but crack my skull open and I absorbed 6 books in 6 months lol

[river oracle]

welp brain injuries can change a person

a lot

[worthy yarrow]

So everyone says, I just hate the fact you need a paper to get most jobs

[river oracle]

peaceful people can become violent

[river oracle]

ngl a highschool education requirement makes sense

there is so many basic skills you're required to master in highschool

dropping out should probably limit your availability

[worthy yarrow]

I mean

[river oracle]

ofc their are edge cases, but really a highschool education is big

[worthy yarrow]

80% of kids be cheating their way through, I never had to try in school when I was going, I could sleep through entire classes and still pass tests

I like to call it passive absorption of knowledge kek

[river oracle]

I'd reccomend not cheating in school when you go to get your GED :P things like writing and math are genuinely important

I also think history is important as well, but that is more deabatable

[worthy yarrow]

Fun fact, I had a college level reading level in like 7th grade

Granted, I don’t grammar as hard as I used to but eh

Writing isn’t all that hard

[sly topaz]

everyone hates it, and if you know your trade then you can make a living without one just fine. The issue is the ceiling

[worthy yarrow]

Yes for sure

My father is a consequence of that for sure

Well in the sense of no college degree

He did get his hs diploma

[river oracle]

college degree isn't at all necessary

especially if you're a trades person I'd say its idiotic

[worthy yarrow]

Still, the ceiling as mentioned, is limited

[river oracle]

GED shows basic competency

[river oracle]

sucks but how it works

[worthy yarrow]

I feel it only shows an employer that you’re a person that’s capable of doing the job for an extensive amount of time

[sly topaz]

ehh, not really, more in the sense that you can get into circles that you normally can't more easily, whether that's worth your time considering you'd have to put aside your trade depends on the person though

[river oracle]

if you are in a trade I think its 10x more important to find a good trade school and mentor

vs going to a 4 year

the opprotunity cost is absolutely insane

even cheap colleges cost 16k a year plus you won't be working

[sly topaz]

well, ig it is different in a country where education is so expensive

here university is free so it isn't an issue in that regard

[river oracle]

trade schools are much cheaper

and they hook you up with connections for your field

its literally everything you could want as a trades person

sometimes companies will sponsor highschool students to go get an education at a trade school and hire them after

[worthy yarrow]

To be fair, I don’t even really want to school in the US, I’d rather go to Germany or Norway

Maybe Poland, I love their food

[river oracle]

getting your GED isn't HS tho

you can just avoid the annoyances of highschool

[worthy yarrow]

Which is what I am doing

But lazily as it were

[river oracle]

school in the US while kinda meh compared to other developed countries you stand to gain a lot. Its also important to remember if you were to go to school in another country and not be a citizen its likely you'd be paying full price and wouldn't be subsidized by the government

also getting citizenship isn't really easy either.

[worthy yarrow]

Tbf if I had the willpower, I’d live in a library and spend little time outside of a book

I just love books now idk why

These are all the ones I’ve read since January, the java bible however I just use as reference material haven’t read through it 100%

[river oracle]

I've never gotten a programming book before

all my knowledge is just from fucking up so many times lol

[worthy yarrow]

Well I feel there are three ways to learn, experience, reading, or being taught

And I suppose being taught sort of falls under experience

Learn from another’s mistakes as it were

Like I said though, since January I just love to read so I’ve been stacking up books

[river oracle]

I love to read too

but I mostly read for entertainment

I don't really do so to learn

my favorite way to learn is through lectures or just experiencing and messing up myself

[worthy yarrow]

My thinking is just that of beings of such intelligence, we should always be striving for knowledge

And to be fair that came from the head injury, I really didn’t think this way prior

All in all, I feel my injury was a blessing in disguise

[river oracle]

did you change a lot after your injury?

I know that tends to happen, my mom worked in a brain trauma hospital

[worthy yarrow]

My father, grandparents, etc definitely say so

[river oracle]

yeah there are weird cases where getting a brain injury can actually make you "more intelligent" per se

[worthy yarrow]

They said it seems to have lit a fire brighter than I’ve had before so

[river oracle]

but more often than not the reverse happens :P

[worthy yarrow]

Well if you looked at my code prior vs now you’d probably vote for the former

taken from my fathers words

I feel it’s improved for sure, but also I got some OOP lessons from trooper and those really helped

[river oracle]

OOP lessons sounds interesting

[worthy yarrow]

He’s a good teacher, he put some good concepts into words I could understand

[river oracle]

I've never actually looked into OOP at all I pretty much just YOLO everything

[worthy yarrow]

Well that’s where your experience is the best ally

You know what works and what doesn’t

[river oracle]

almost at 4 years of being a coderer

[worthy yarrow]

Sure everything can be improved but for the most part you know what you’re doing

[river oracle]

I can't believe I started 4 years ago 😭 I feel so old

[worthy yarrow]

Technically I started programming at 8 with block coding mc plugins, then moved into java at like 10 or 12 but at the same time it was quite on / off until about 16

So I really only consider 2 years

[river oracle]

I didn't even have a PC till 2017 I was tech illiterate until like 2019 lol

[worthy yarrow]

But I’d say that 2 years follows a more logical thinking process than actual coding experience

[river oracle]

I started writing AHK over the summer in 2020

my code from three years ago is so fucking wild
https://github.com/Y2Kwastaken/SimpleHoes/

[worthy yarrow]

I think since Jan, I’ve put a solid 1800 hours into coding

To be fair, I should sleep more considering I had a tbi but eh

Fuck it coding is fun

[river oracle]

I've probably coded for over 6000 hours at this point 😭

probably close to 7000ish or something

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah I strive to be as knowledgeable as you guys

[river oracle]

I'm not knowledgeable at all :P I'd strive to be knowledgeable like someone else in here

I ain't it chief

[worthy yarrow]

I mean

You know more than I, that’s what matters

There’s more for me to learn from you than there is to learn from me just fucking around for the next 6 years

Well 6 years is probably a stretch but you get my point

Learning through experience is great and all but why spend the extra time / effort when someone has already done it

[river oracle]

talk to your advisors

make sure you advocate for yourself

[worthy yarrow]

^

[river oracle]

I kinda got a silver spoon in my mouth so I am not really one to talk

[worthy yarrow]

I’ve changed a couple school policies in my time by just gathering information and presenting it in a way that makes sense

[river oracle]

I happen to have family at an international company who is Senior Software engineer. I also have a friend who is a engineer at another big company

whatever you enjoy making

Don't overthink it literally make software you enjoy making

if you like plugins

extend yourself writing plugins

if you prefer writing desktop apps extend yourself writing complex desktop apps

[worthy yarrow]

I think about it like this: everything you do is experience, most times you just cater what experience goes on the resume depending on the job this resume is being sent to

[river oracle]

I think it'd be refreshing as an interviewer to not see the same project by 10,000 different people

rather a person who is passionate about something and does it

this isn't a catch all but hey It'll help you improve to

you'll get better doing something you love rather than trudging through a project you don't give a fuck about

I ran into the same problem so I just started college my junior year of HS

school payed for it all so 🤷‍♂️

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah my first large project is the current one tbf, I hate the fact that all skyblock cores are afk eco driven and I want to change that… so I am, hybrid skyblock / rpg core sounds super fun to me and whether or not people agree I’ll still have fun playing it

[river oracle]

I got 51 credits going into my first year of college I should be out in 2 and a half years at m ost

I didn't take an internship I just did college

[worthy yarrow]

And that’s all that really matters, what do you enjoy doing? Go and do it, the passion is what really catches attention like y2 said

[river oracle]

most colleges won't let you get inernships till around your junior year

atleast the company my family is senior software engineer at

so I gotta go this one more year till I can get an internship there

or you could utilize connections at your university of choice to get in contact with people

not sure what state you're in or what university, but many colleges have internship programs on their website you can view a list of jobs on

I had a friend who worked at an insurance company in a non technical role and was later promoted once he was educated enough as a junior in college to get the software engineering job

[worthy yarrow]

Anyways I’m gonna go keep working, love you guys, and thank you for all the insights and information / advice!

@river oracle @ivory sleet @sly topaz

[river oracle]

Conclure 👀

the best

[ivory sleet]

na u

[river oracle]

that's write Conclube I know your true identity as Conclure

[worthy yarrow]

Oh btw @river oracle how long have you been going to school now?

And for what field

[river oracle]

I'm in my first year of college technically

But I'm 51 credits into my Computer Science bachelor's of science.

[worthy yarrow]

What all entails the comp sci?

[river oracle]

Lots of math

Learning about computers

And some programming

School taught me a lot about assembly low level thinking and data structures

Wouldn't really have learned that doing things as I was

[worthy yarrow]

So apart from these couple of things, would you say I’d be better off learning myself (either experience as I put it / reading)?

[river oracle]

Depends on your situation and ability to network.

[worthy yarrow]

Better off in terms of mastering the craft

[river oracle]

I'd say college could be a waste for compsci but you'd have to grind much harder since the market is getting to be competitive

[river oracle]

In terms of mastering the craft experience trumps all

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah that’s fair

Kinda wanted to see if you differed lol

[river oracle]

Even a bad programmer probably learns things over time

[worthy yarrow]

Me

Kek

Well that’s fair, again thank you

Chat later cya!

[grave lion]

do you have to register aliases now? I have them in my plugin.yml and they show up in game but when its ran it says it doesn't exist

[runic kraken]

[07:09:48 ERROR]: [GOATMC_Tools] Błąd EOFException podczas deserializacji efektów mikstur: null https://pastebin.com/FMKum9nx

how can i fix this error

[dull schooner]

hey guys

is there a way to damage a tool taking into account the tool's enchantments?

or anything at all that would interfere, simulating the usage of the tool

[loud ginkgo]

Hello, can anyone help me? I have a server on 1.20.4 and I can't find a chat plugin for local and global that works, can you recommend one? I've tried essentials chat but there's always an error...

[wraith delta]

No you do not need to register it, you need one main command that is registered and underneath that inside plugin.yml is aliases: [one, two]

[dull mountain]

Does Spigot support the new 1.21 server links feature? If so, how can I send server links through Spigot? Thanks!

[dawn flower]

<capture of ? super capture of ? extends SyntaxObject> how do u do this exactly

how do u make an arraylist of that thing

[dull mountain]

Nevermind, I found it:
ServerLinks links = server.getServerLinks();
I'm now sending links from onEnable(), and it seems to be working. Awesome new feature!

[dawn flower]

so this is abit complicated:
i want to get the SyntaxObject a class is extending or implementing
a SyntaxObject is an interface with alot of inheritor interfaces
some classes are abstract and implement SyntaxObject
so now, how do i check what SyntaxObject a class belongs to?
examples:
public class MyClass implements SyntaxObject1 -> SyntaxObject1.class
public class MyClass implements SyntaxObject2 -> SyntaxObject2.class
public class MyClass extends SyntaxObject3 -> SyntaxObject3.class
public class MyClass extends SyntaxObject3 implements SyntaxObject1 -> throw an exception for having more than 1 syntax object

[karmic falcon]

hi, quick question, what is the event responsible for when a player interacts with chests/echests/furnaces/crafting tables and all tiled entities

[dawn flower]

PlayerInteractEvent

[karmic falcon]

ohhhh alr

[dawn flower]

or PlayerInteractAtBlockEvent, not sure if that exists

nope, just use PlayerInteractEvent and get the block

[dawn flower]

nvm i figured it out

[indigo jasper]

Hey, anyone know how to update this code from 1.20.4 (1_20_R3) to 1.20.6 (1_20_R4)
‘’’java

try {
int packetTypeId = ConnectionProtocol.PLAY
.codec ( PacketFlow.CLIENTBOUND )
.packetId ( packetNms );

            FriendlyByteBuf serializer = new FriendlyByteBuf ( Unpooled.buffer ( ) );

            serializer.writeByte ( packetTypeId );
            packetNms.handle(serializer);

            pipeline.write ( serializer );
            pipeline.flush ( );
        } catch ( Exception e ) {
            e.printStackTrace ( );
        }’’’

[dawn flower]

wrong quotes

?codeblock

[undone axle]

You can use the discord code block format to display code or just text in a more pleasing way:
```java
public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
@Override
public void onEnable() {

}

}```
Becomes:

public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {

    }
}```

[dawn flower]

copy it from that

also use packetevents or a packet library, pls

[worthy yarrow]

^

[indigo jasper]

I don’t want to use one more library since I’m using already too many libraries into my plugin

[dawn flower]

so you use nms..

nms is already a library, technically

[shadow night]

not really

[worthy yarrow]

It’s not like you have to shade packetevents / protocol lib

[dawn flower]

^

[shadow night]

NMS is a dependency, but nowhere a library

[dawn flower]

nms would be provided, same as protocollib or packetevents

[dawn flower]

i mean a dependency

[hazy parrot]

Why not make the SyntaxObject be a sealed interface ?

[hybrid turret]

Anyone got sum on that?

[drowsy helm]

can you show your code

and what is "The Data guide"

[hybrid turret]

Ummmm hold on

7‘s data guide

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/working-with-data.562421/

[hybrid turret]

That is a LOT of code :|

I‘ll try ig lol

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[hazy parrot]

Event is not null, your getBan method is returning null

[drowsy helm]

just show the AsyncPlayerPreLoginEVent

[hybrid turret]

Wait what

Was i that blind??

[hybrid turret]

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

I‘d also have the code for all of the parts that go into this

I think at least i copied all of it

But well if it‘s the getBan

[drowsy helm]

you never set playerDataManager

it's null

oh wait nvm

[hybrid turret]

Lombok

[drowsy helm]

ye

because "this.playerDataManager" is null

its being passed null

[hybrid turret]

ykw whatever,

This should be all

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

Oh damn why tf is playerDataManager null what the heck

[pseudo hazel]

well, when do you ever assign the playerdatamanager to your variable in the event loop

[hybrid turret]

Main class

Should be at the far bottom of the 2nd link

Idek why this happened it just happened at some point

[pseudo hazel]

oh my bad I missed the annotation

also wtf is a dataclass

does it initialize the variables itself?

[dawn flower]

a what?

what is a sealed interface

[hybrid turret]

@Data adds a setter, a getter, equals

The variables are not initialized, no.

Oh wait

Ohhhhhh

[hazy parrot]

Interface which allows only certain classes to implement it, you can google about it

[pseudo hazel]

then getBan will return null

[hybrid turret]

Shiiiiiiiit

I cant store if a player is banned in player data ig

Fvck

[pseudo hazel]

why not

whats in the ban object

[dawn flower]

alr

[hybrid turret]

Bc it loads the playerdata and checks if a player is banned in the same event

Even tho the playerdata stuff has EventPriority.MONITOR

[hybrid turret]

A boolean, a string and a long

isBanned, reason, epoch until ban expires (if perm it‘s 1)

[pseudo hazel]

tye boolean is saying if they are actually banned?

whats wrong with saying Ban ban = new Ban()

[hybrid turret]

Wait

[pseudo hazel]

in your playerdata class

[hybrid turret]

Damn lol i actually never do new Ban()

What

[pseudo hazel]

yes thats what I am saying

[hybrid turret]

Lol

[pseudo hazel]

among probably other things

like initializing the lists that are in there

[hybrid turret]

If nothing is ever initialized, what is a long and a boolean set as? 0 and false?

[pseudo hazel]

yes*

[umbral ridge]

its set to "cat"

[hybrid turret]

Tbh they should all be initialized in the PlayerDBPersistenceHandler

[pseudo hazel]

then make them constructor args

[umbral ridge]

CatHandler

[hybrid turret]

playerData.setBan(new Ban(isBanned, banReaspn, banTimestamp); should work then

(Obv without typos)

Well thank you.

I sadly cant test it rn but hey at least theoretically it‘s fixed lmao

[dawn flower]

how does advanced enchants show enchants?

and is it possible to make something similar and make it configurable?

[loud ginkgo]

Does anyone recommend a plugin for VIP?

wrong chat

[dawn flower]

wdym for vip?

luckperms ig

[loud ginkgo]

what? I'm using translator rsrs
i am from brazil

[dawn flower]

do you mean VIP rank?

this?

[loud ginkgo]

no, I want a plugin that gives VIP time and position

in the lp I already made the roles and permissions

[dawn flower]

please explain what VIP is

[loud ginkgo]

yes

[dawn flower]

that's just luckperms

now what do you mean time and position

[loud ginkgo]

yes

[dawn flower]

..

[rough ibex]

yes?

[dawn flower]

are you using google translate

[rough ibex]

he said he is

[dawn flower]

he just said translator

[rough ibex]

literally "i'm using translator"

does it matter

[dawn flower]

yeah

google translate cant predict out of context

use something like chatgpt to translate

[rough ibex]

fuck that

[loud ginkgo]

the translator sometimes gets the translation wrong, sorry

[rough ibex]

i understand him

[dawn flower]

what does he mean by time and psoition

[rough ibex]

time and position of what

of another player? of their own?

[dawn flower]

you just said u understand him

[rough ibex]

yeah, I do

we are communicating

[wet breach]

maybe the rank is for a time period as opposed to being permanent?

[dawn flower]

temporary ranks?

[rough ibex]

but position

[dawn flower]

how high it is to other ranks

[rough ibex]

then they'll have to clarify

[wet breach]

yeah they will need to clarify a little bit

[loud ginkgo]

I'll try to explain, I want a plugin that when the person pays me for the VIP he receives the VIP position, but when the VIP time is up he loses the position automatically, for example, 30 days

[rough ibex]

there we go

[dawn flower]

amazing

use temporary ranks

use tebex

and lp

[loud ginkgo]

ok, temporary ranks are a plugin?

[dawn flower]

it's in luckperms

it's /lp user %player% addtemp vip 30d

i think

[loud ginkgo]

hmm

ex: /lp user ilmira addtemp VipMoon 30d ?

[dawn flower]

try that

[pseudo hazel]

what translator are you using

I think one of chatgpt's only strengths are translation, so maybe give that a shot

[wet breach]

google translate, its good enough for where they are from

[loud ginkgo]

I'm using Google translator

[dawn flower]

did this work

also add accumulate after 30d, so if someone buys it twice they get 60d not 30d

so /lp user ilmira addtemp VipMoon 30d accumulate

[loud ginkgo]

don´t work

[dawn flower]

/lp user ilmira parent addtemp VipMoon 30d accumulate

[loud ginkgo]

work!!!

you saved me man

[dawn flower]

:D

[loud ginkgo]

S2

thank you very much

[dawn flower]

np

[sullen canyon]

deepl is pretty much the best rn

[wet breach]

not for everything

deepl is good for Cyrillic languages

[pliant topaz]

deepl sadly doesnt support some languages

or better saying, many

[loud ginkgo]

I have one more question, can you tell me about a kit plugin that opens a menu and allows you to configure everything in it? I didn't like the playerkits very much

[dawn flower]

maybe try playerkits 2

also ask these questions in #help-server

[loud ginkgo]

I would ask the question now about where I ask these questions, I wasn't sure, thanks kk

[dawn flower]

Cannot resolve method 'this(String, String, null, Event, TurboSection, String[])'

public ParsedElement(@Nonnull String name, @Nullable String unparsedTarget, @Nullable Object target, @Nonnull Event event, @Nullable TurboSection section, String... args) {
am i stupid or is intellij smoking something

can an object parameter not be null?

what in the world

wtf

can i cast null into an object or will it go kaboom

[junior bough]

1.8.9

[eternal oxide]

Then multiple ArmorStands

[wet breach]

this refers to the class object. So is the class named ParsedElement?

[dawn flower]

yeah

i just had to cast null to object

[wet breach]

oh I see now, you are using lowercase null

probably could have just changed it to Null

[dawn flower]

the apache one?

[loud ginkgo]

Hello again, what is the best programming language to start studying?

[dawn flower]

eh, im just gonna stick to casting, it looks better than new keyword

[dawn flower]

definatly don't start with java or any C language

[wet breach]

lol, well if it works now I guess not an issue

[hazy parrot]

What

[dawn flower]

start with something simple, so you get a general idea about programming

[loud ginkgo]

ugh, I was studying Java haha that's why I'm suffering so much

[hazy parrot]

I wouldn't agree with this

[dawn flower]

java would be hell for starters

[hazy parrot]

You can pretty easily learn fundamentals with C

[chrome beacon]

eh not that bad

[hazy parrot]

Also with java

[loud ginkgo]

I noticed

[dawn flower]

it honestly depends on what you want to do

[hazy parrot]

But if you don't want to mess with objects in begining, c is perfect imo

[loud ginkgo]

I want to be able to make plugins for my server

[dawn flower]

then go straight for java

[wet breach]

I think many people should learn C

[eternal oxide]

Java. Its a clean syntax. Just get teh basics down and its not a steep learning curve

[loud ginkgo]

I want to make a chat plugin that works with the other plugins I put aaaa how difficult is it haha

[eternal oxide]

C is a good language but not beginner friendly

[dawn flower]

^

and has unique stuff that you will never want as a plugin developer such as pointers

[loud ginkgo]

so should I keep learning java?

[dawn flower]

yeah

and make simple plugins, don't just learn without testing yourself

[eternal oxide]

pointers will confuse th fuck out of many people

[dawn flower]

i got the hang of pointers in like 10 minutes

[wet breach]

pointers are easy as long as its explained appropriately

[loud ginkgo]

What is the best PC application to make plugins? I tried to do 1 using notepad :Skull:

[dawn flower]

notepad...

[hazy parrot]

Of course you wouldn't do pointers if you want to learn fundamentals with c

[dawn flower]

intellij idea or eclipse (intellij idea pls)

[eternal oxide]

yep until you try to understand pointer references

[hazy parrot]

But simple branching, functions and variables

[eternal oxide]

is this a pointer or a pointer to a pointer

[loud ginkgo]

What is a pointer? here the translator is saying that it is a doubt

[dawn flower]

don't think about pointers

[wet breach]

memory addresses

[dawn flower]

he wants to do java, don't confuse him

[eternal oxide]

yeah, ignore pointers. Don;t go near them to learn java

[loud ginkgo]

ok. kkk

So which app should I use to learn Java? and use java

[dawn flower]

honestly, youtube and experiments

you get better everytime you code anyways

[onyx fjord]

Intellij idea

[loud ginkgo]

what do you mean by youtube? watching tutorials?

[dawn flower]

you can watch like 4 hours of java basics then afew spigot tutorials and you would be able to create decent plugins

[loud ginkgo]

ok!

[hazy parrot]

If u are willing to pay, jetbrains hyperskill is awesome project based learning platform

[dawn flower]

yeah and the spigot thingis

[onyx fjord]

Free trial, you can use it for free later with limited lives

[dawn flower]

these are way too overkill for spigot imo

[onyx fjord]

Or buy additional lives with gems

[hazy parrot]

It's pain in the ass

U have like 3 lives

[dawn flower]

you don't get to use most of the stuff

[eternal oxide]

I use Eclipse. Most use InteliJ

[loud ginkgo]

It's difficult to find someone who explains this in Portuguese, few people who deal with this make videos explaining it

[dawn flower]

youtube has auto captions

[eternal oxide]

Eclipse is free Ij is free for students, else pay for license

[loud ginkgo]

true

[onyx fjord]

You should know English somewhat ok when you're learning a programming language

[dawn flower]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-plugin-development/
also read these

[hazy parrot]

Like what lol

[onyx fjord]

Not true, intellij is free software

[loud ginkgo]

what do you mean for students?

[dawn flower]

guis for example

[onyx fjord]

Only ultimate version with additional plugins is paid, community is free and open source

[eternal oxide]

IJ has a cut down version for free. If you are a student you can get a full version

[hazy parrot]

I haven't seen a single GUI project in hyperskill (for java dev path)

[dawn flower]

i didnt even check hyperskill

so maybe you're right

[onyx fjord]

It doesn't cut down any language features but only special features specific to some frameworks like spring

Not everyone needs those

And you have free alternatives on plugin market

[dawn flower]

my point is you don't have to pay to get into programming

[hazy parrot]

I never said u have

[dawn flower]

i know

just forget it

[onyx fjord]

You only pay for more efficient workflow with some frameworks (you won't even touch them as beginner)

[loud ginkgo]

Is this free trial for a while or is it just the limited version?

[dawn flower]

intellij idea community edition?

[pseudo hazel]

intellij community is all you need

[dawn flower]

^

[pseudo hazel]

especially when you start out

most if not all ultimate features wont even be applicable to you

[loud ginkgo]

is this page?

[loud ginkgo]

ok

[dawn flower]

yeah

also i just realized intellij idea ultimate is 600$

wha-

[sly topaz]

I mean, most individuals don't pay ultimate

they either get the open source or the student license

[dawn flower]

if i'm paying 600$ for an ide, it better code by itself

ah

[loud ginkgo]

this page opens when I click, the paid version with a 30-day free trial. I hope that in 30 days I can make a chat plugin for my server

[dawn flower]

scroll down

[sly topaz]

open source license is very nice, allows you to create a project and as long as it stays open source and is actively maintained, you can get ultimate

[loud ginkgo]

oh my god, I feel so stupid...

[dawn flower]

nah u aint, it's just that intellij made the ultimate always be on top

even if u searched for community

[sly topaz]

don't worry, everyone has gotten played by that download site more than once lol

[dawn flower]

it's kinda scummy ngl, someone might seriously think they intellij is only paid

but still can't blame them

[loud ginkgo]

ok, I'll look for a course that teaches Java.

[quiet ice]

It's not like IJ is the only player in town.

[sly topaz]

they are the only player in town, the only people you may see using eclipse or netbeans are enterprise which have sold their soul to them

[loud ginkgo]

I'm new to programming, I'm just better with robotics rsrs

[sly topaz]

you may find eclipse users in the wild at times, but IJ has pretty much the whole marketshare covered nowadays, at least in the Java ecosystem

[dawn flower]

i mean, kotlin is used alot to make mobile apps and i don't think eclipse supports kotlin

[pseudo hazel]

natural selection, if you cant find the free version on that same page, should you really be programming xD

[tardy delta]

vim

[sly topaz]

vim for java is a joke

vscode is getting there, but IJ shits all over it

[dawn flower]

i personally prefer notepad

high quality code above ^

[tardy delta]

notepad and terminal

would work pretty good

i used to work with nvim with no plugins which was basically like that

[dawn flower]

too many syntax errors tho

i always forget the ;

[tardy delta]

use kotlin and you dont have that problem

that whole file becomes

package me.missingreports

println("Yes.")

[dawn flower]

that just makes it a mix of python and js

[sly topaz]

with the upcoming version of Java next month, you will be able to do:

void main() {
  println("Yes.");
}

[dawn flower]

dead srs?

[sly topaz]

that is with instance main method and unamed classes + module imports

[dawn flower]

what java ver

[sly topaz]

you can already do that in 21/22, with the preview flag

[tardy delta]

@dawn flower what now nerd

[sly topaz]

but the upcoming versions allows you to just write println instead of System.out.println

[tardy delta]

also implicit imports for java.util.*

[sly topaz]

see https://openjdk.org/jeps/477 for more info

[sly topaz]

I'm a big nerd for Java, ngl

[tardy delta]

never done any other language?

[sly topaz]

that is why, as a superior being, use mspaint to write all my java code

[dawn flower]

does this mean i dont have to import java.util.List

[tardy delta]

yes

[dawn flower]

that's fucking amazing

[tardy delta]

if only those fuckers add f strings

instead of their filthy string templates

[dawn flower]

did this release yet

[sly topaz]

plenty, but I've chosen Java as my religion, though I mainly work with lower-level languages nowadays

[eternal night]

string templates are so superior to fstrings it is crazy

[sly topaz]

automatic import part is new, the rest is all in java 22

[pliant topaz]

i use paint3D, makes it easier as i can switch to another layer which basically functions as a package

[dawn flower]

say no more

someone bouta update

[smoky anchor]

Reading the JEP makes me think this works only for those single class programs

[tardy delta]

for anything else than formatting yes

[eternal night]

I mean, even for formatting they are pretty much the same?

[tardy delta]

i would imagine you could do some kind of sql statement processing with them

[eternal night]

I don't see how they fail at normal string formatting

[tardy delta]

they dont fail, they just look cringe 😂

[eternal night]

how so?

[dawn flower]

am i supposed to download the msi installer

[eternal night]

Wait are you up to date on the discussion surrounding template processsors?

[chrome beacon]

if you want to

the zip is for manual install

[eternal night]

if you are talking about STR."hello \{world}" then yea

I get that they may be called cringe

[chrome beacon]

It's gone

[tardy delta]

yes

[eternal night]

yea

[dawn flower]

the "compressed" zip is bigger than the msi

[eternal night]

that is long gone

[eternal night]

https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/amber-spec-experts/2024-April/004106.html

read that

[sly topaz]

just link the summary video on the official Java channel smh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6L4Ef9owuQ

[eternal night]

watching videos when you can have the mailing list

[chrome beacon]

yeah the Java channel does have some useful videos

[sly topaz]

and I'm the huge nerd here

[chrome beacon]

smh imagine reading

[dawn flower]

aint no way i got scmamed

i just downloaded java 22

[tardy delta]

why the backslash, why the backslash 🗿

[chrome beacon]

Watch the video

it explains it

[dawn flower]

oh wait i can just download it straight from intellij

[wet breach]

https://tenor.com/view/pgty1-backlash-wwe-intro-gif-18434025

[tardy delta]

thank you frost

tldr: they thought their string processors werent elegant and they were wondering why they even needed them over a function with accepts a string template?

[dawn flower]

scammed again 😭

what in the world is a "string processor"

[chrome beacon]

nothing anymore

[chrome beacon]

Don't forget to enable preview features

[dawn flower]

where is that

[chrome beacon]

(I think it's still in preview)

Project settings

[sly topaz]

I said that part is not released yet

[dawn flower]

goddamn it

[sly topaz]

you can do:

void main() {
  System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}

[dawn flower]

i just want to println man 😭

[sly topaz]

you still have to enable previews though, it should be in the module settings, language level

Ctrl + Shift + Alt + S to enter module settings

[dawn flower]

oh

[sly topaz]

or right click a module

[dawn flower]

hm

[chrome beacon]

language level

[dawn flower]

there's barely anything

[sly topaz]

Language level

[dawn flower]

then?

[sly topaz]

choose the latest version it allows you

experimental features is fine too

is your IDE outdated? latest is 22

[chrome beacon]

yeah probably outdated Intellij

[twin venture]

Hello there , its been a while ...

so iam making a custom kit system and i was wondering if its good to store custom data on the items.. i need a way to work on 1.21 , and older back to 1.8 ..
or should i do it when i give the kit to the player?

i need custom data to be stored so i can check if this item can be droped or disposed or other checks ..

[sly topaz]

I mean, you can't store custom data on items without PDC, and PDC wasn't a thing before 1.14. At least not through API

[smoky anchor]

Apart from enabling preview features, the base import is only in the unnamed class (or whatever they are calling it now)
Or at least that is how I understood that JEP

[sly topaz]

of course, if you are handling multiple files, you should actually init a project and use an IDE lol

[chrome beacon]

if you want to store data on the items you will need nms for versions older than 1.14

[twin venture]

thanks

[smoky anchor]

||or go the bugrock way and use lore and § to hide your custom data||

[onyx fjord]

what should be the size of a master access key to my rest api?

[twin venture]

naaah

[onyx fjord]

i currently have it as a hashed with Sha256 as Base64 using 384 random bytes

but i feel like im doing something wrong

[chrome beacon]

you can use https://github.com/auth0/java-jwt

Just to be safe

[onyx fjord]

i dont need HMAC yet

my use case is too minimal

chat gpt told me i should decrease the size of my randomly generated bytes

i guess i will do 256 instead to match what SHA-256 gives

[foggy cave]

does anyone know what version custom model data was added in

is there a way to check?

[slender elbow]

Minecraft wiki

[foggy cave]

oh ok

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tutorials/Models

found this but it doesnt show version

[mellow edge]

Hello, if my spigot plugin works with 1.8 and 1.21, can I use the same bungee cord api version for connecting players to another server at the end of a minigame?
I am specifically refering to this code:

            ProxiedPlayer proxyPlayer = getProxy().getPlayer(uuid);
            if (proxyPlayer != null) {
                proxyPlayer.connect(PROXY.getServerInfo(LOBBY_SERVER_NAME));
            }

Unrelated: using bungeecord api isn't compatible with waterfall, right?

[pseudo hazel]

i thought waterfall was a bungeecord fork

but im not sure

[mellow edge]

it indeed is

but idk for my case if it works...

[sullen canyon]

you can and waterfall is a fork of bubgeecord so you can use bungee's api

[quaint mantle]

its giving me an error that there is no pom.xml in the parent directory but there is, i am new to plugin development so please put it into simple very understandable terms for me

[humble tulip]

Is that vs code?

[quaint mantle]

yes

[humble tulip]

You should probably switch to intelliJ to make your life easier

[quaint mantle]

my pc cant handle that

[tardy delta]

include the flag to specify the file explicitly

[humble tulip]

limitedmace

[pseudo hazel]

looks like you have 2 limitedmace folders in each other maybe?

[humble tulip]

Vs LimitedMace

[quaint mantle]

huh

[pseudo hazel]

i dont think windows cares about case sensitive paths

but maven might i guess

[humble tulip]

Go to Music/LimitedMace

[quaint mantle]

okay

[humble tulip]

And send a screenshot of what's there

[humble tulip]

Yep

[pseudo hazel]

yes

its a folder within a folder

[quaint mantle]

what do i do?

[pseudo hazel]

idk

tell it to look in a different place

[humble tulip]

So you don't have a pom inside Music/LimitedMace but inside music/LimitedMace/LimitedMace

How are you building?

What do you do to run maven?

[quaint mantle]

ctrl shift p

[humble tulip]

You may also wanna copy everything from limitedmace into LimitedMace and delete limitedmace

That should fix it

[quaint mantle]

create new maven project

version

and the other things it needs

[humble tulip]

No?

[quaint mantle]

and done

[humble tulip]

Just copy the files using windows

[mellow edge]

so I must use register outgoing channel in spigot api, called 'BungeeCord' and then send plugin message as player Connect and server-name in order to teleport him to another server on bungeecord/waterfall network?

[quaint mantle]

what now

[mellow edge]

ok so I assume this is the way spigot plugins communicate with bungeecord

[quaint mantle]

do i have anything wrong in the version

[hazy parrot]

Why are u depending on bukkit

[quaint mantle]

can i switch to spigot or is it too latr

[sullen marlin]

yes should be org.spigotmc and spigot-api

[quaint mantle]

yeah but ill have to switch everything in the code

[sullen marlin]

no

[quaint mantle]

no?

so do i switch to that and compile

same error different api

[eternal oxide]

looks like you have no repository in your pom

add teh spigot repository or run buildtools for the version you want

?maven

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-maven/

[river oracle]

1.21.0 👀

That's not a version champ

@quaint mantle ^

[quaint mantle]

huh

[river oracle]

I think you're looking for 1.21.1

[eternal oxide]

remove .0

[river oracle]

1.21.0 isn't a version

[quaint mantle]

no 1.21

[river oracle]

1.21 has been replaced

Use 1.21.1

Unless you like crash exploits then don't ig

[quaint mantle]

alright so what do i put

<version>??</version>

[sly topaz]

1.21.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT

[humble tulip]

Bro use intellij😭

[quaint mantle]

pc cant handle anything jetbrains

[humble tulip]

What kinda pc do u have

[pseudo hazel]

based

but still

[quaint mantle]

im using a laptop bru

[humble tulip]

I also use a laptop

[slender elbow]

i also use a laptop

[sly topaz]

how, I got the shittiest laptop ever and I can run IJ just fine

[quaint mantle]

u prob got a high tier laptop

[humble tulip]

Same my old laptop cpuld run ij

[sly topaz]

this got a celeron N4020 bro

[pseudo hazel]

my 10 year old laptop can run intellij just fine

[humble tulip]

And a single minecraft instance and a server

[slender elbow]

8 gb ram, hdd, 2 cores 4 threads

[humble tulip]

Your laptop can run it trust

[echo basalt]

I ran a jetbrains ide on 4gb ram 4th gen laptop i3

dw about it

just close everything

[quaint mantle]

8 gb ram, 4 core hdd

[humble tulip]

That's good enf

[sly topaz]

it's painful because anything lighter than intelliJ lacks severely in terms of features so you got to choose your poison

[torn shuttle]

am I crazy in wondering why server costs seem to keep going up instead of down

[eternal oxide]

running windows? 8 gig is not going to run well with InteliJ

[slender elbow]

i am

[sly topaz]

eh, hdd could have a lackluster RPM or be really old and at its last legs

[blazing ocean]

i can run it on a core duo

[slender elbow]

i mean it's by no means the fastest computer, but it does the job

[quaint mantle]

honestly im instaling inteliij

[sly topaz]

I used windows, IJ and a browser just fine with 4gb of RAM, it is manageable just not a pretty experience

[quaint mantle]

but is there any alt to just limit the mace to one per server

when its lost you can get another one

i know it can be made into a datapack but i failed in doing that

[sly topaz]

I mean, anything is possible

[quaint mantle]

without me having to learn a new skill

[pseudo hazel]

how do you know if its lost

[sly topaz]

how are maces even obtained, I haven't played new versions yet

you just have to limit that

[humble tulip]

When you install IJ install the minecraft development plugin

Makes creating projects easier

Also don't keep projects in ur music folder😂

[woeful void]

someone can help me

[tardy delta]

me when i tried to play mc on intel celeron 🗿

[sterile breach]

how can I get Material list (id)?

[humble tulip]

?ask

[undone axle]

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

[woeful void]

Am I guaranteed that the thread of the 1st system.out.println will be the same as the thread of the last system.out.println? https://paste.md-5.net/uziqofegil.cs

[pseudo hazel]

you have to go to a trial chamber and juice it up into the upgraded chamber, get the upgraded key, get mace head piece from the vault, kill breeze for a rod and then combine it in a crafting table

[humble tulip]

First and last yes

[woeful void]

do you use async db?

[humble tulip]

Since they are both not handled by completable futures

Yes

[woeful void]

Do you keep the cache updated in real time with the db?

[humble tulip]

What do you mean?

I just load what's needed and unload it when it's not

[woeful void]

Imagine, the person with /money pay nickname 1, you update the new money from the person who sent it in the cache and then the scheduler updates the money in the database or you update it in the database and as soon as you update it, you update it in the cache?

[humble tulip]

Are you doing multiserver currency?

[woeful void]

no

singleserver

[humble tulip]

Probably just cache all players balance

Into a map and dump it into the db regularly

[woeful void]

but why not update in real time?

[humble tulip]

Or u can update the db on each transaction async

[woeful void]

this isnt better?

[humble tulip]

But cache everything

It depends on the usecase

[sly topaz]

do you need it to be real time, is the better question

[humble tulip]

Updating on each transaction is more costly but guarantees less data loss on a server crash

[woeful void]

but it's not much more expensive, or is it?

[pseudo hazel]

yeah the reason for using a databass is backup for when it crashes and for loading the data again after restarting normally too

but writing to external systems is always more expensive than keeping it local

[sly topaz]

I mean, that depends on the scale really, I doubt your server is doing enough queries for it to be a problem

[pseudo hazel]

atleast in like almost any case

[woeful void]

because like, my server is using very little processing, it must be because minecraft only uses one thread, you know, so let's take advantage of the processor's power and use the other threads

[sly topaz]

but if you think that it'll reach that scale, then you're better off caching things

[woeful void]

and another thing, imagine that I update a Map<Currency, Double> in a User and then I schedule a task in onCommand (main thread) to make an update in the database (the update is in another thread). If I then use thenaccept of future and update this map, adding for example money to a Currency to the player, do I need this Map to be ConcurrentHashMap or is it enough to be HashMap? I modify the map only in the main thread (in thenaccept) and read the map only in the main thread

[tardy delta]

ideally yes

could make it synchronized too

[woeful void]

wdym

use concurrenthashmap?

[tardy delta]

youre making a plugin right?

[quaint mantle]

yes

[tardy delta]

other dude 🗿

[indigo jasper]

yes

[quaint mantle]

yes

so only .java and .pom

[indigo jasper]

seems fun to respond, sorry

[tardy delta]

other one 🗿

[coarse inlet]

No

[tardy delta]

what plugin is this and what version

[smoky anchor]

affirmitive

[tardy delta]

little fuckers

[quaint mantle]

i feel like i am getting trolled here

[tardy delta]

i cant believe how elgarl survives in this channel

[quaint mantle]

is .java and .pom the only associations i need

[tardy delta]

if you want that

[pseudo hazel]

associations dont matter

[smoky anchor]

You don't need any

[tardy delta]

if you create a file association for .java, it will open all .java files with ij by defualt

[pseudo hazel]

its just which files will open intellij when you click on them in the file exporer

[quaint mantle]

oh ok

[smoky anchor]

(which is horrible imo)

[pseudo hazel]

yeah

I use vsc for anything that arent project files xD

[eternal oxide]

survives?

[tardy delta]

uhh

[sly topaz]

don't

[tardy delta]

🗿

[eternal oxide]

oh

[sly topaz]

use one of the lock implementations from the concurrent package

synchronized doesn't play well with virtual threads right now

[coarse inlet]

This is what shows up when I create a forge server and try to join it

[eternal oxide]

yeah, costs a few brain cells 🙂

[tardy delta]

feels a bit overkill if there isnt a lot of concurrency

[indigo jasper]

it's free if you don't have any as me

[coarse inlet]

Bro

[coarse inlet]

.

[tardy delta]

buddy i asked you what plugin and what version

if you dont know what plugin causes it, go remove them and check them all

[indigo jasper]

as them said, them are using forge

[tardy delta]

i have no clue what forge servers even are lol

[chrome beacon]

So a hybrid server then

[indigo jasper]

me neither

[chrome beacon]

Not supported

[orchid trout]

can someone tell me why this check exists in an anticheat?:
Math.abs(location.getX()) > 1.0E7 || Math.abs(location.getY()) > 1.0E7 || Math.abs(location.getZ()) > 1.0E7 || Math.abs(location.getPitch()) > 1.0E7 || Math.abs(location.getYaw()) > 1.0E7
just seems unnecessary

[sly topaz]

client can send abnormal locations in order to do shit I assume

[orchid trout]

ok

[sullen canyon]

yes

[wintry dagger]

Just verifies the location for unreasonable coordinates & orientation because some (shit) clients are just that poorly made

[wet breach]

has to do with rounding errors

if the amount of numbers past the decimal exceeds what is allowed, it will literally chop off the extras and round up

this check is to prevent that

floating point anomalies for you if you weren't aware of them before 😉

however also note each system handles floating points differently in this regard too so its not exactly consistent

some systems can accept a higher precision others less. That check should be dynamic if anything in checking that

so that is one of its flaws I suppose

[quaint mantle]

okay how do i compile it using gradle im on itellij

[eternal night]

Open the gradle tab, find tasks, find build

[sly topaz]

double shift

clean build

[quaint mantle]

alright i built it

where do i find the ajr

the jar file

[rough drift]

output/lib/

or build/lib/

whatever

[remote swallow]

build/libs

[quaint mantle]

ty

[orchid trout]

but that checks if the numbers are above 10mil

[wet breach]

oh right absolutes

oh no that makes sense how they have

nope not sure then

because limit is 30mil if I recall for the game

[pseudo hazel]

either that or 15 mil from center

but I think it is -30 to 30mil

but you wouldnt really have any purpose going beyond 10 mil

so I guess they just didnt bother with this check

[wet breach]

well its flawed either way because of floating points anyways

[coarse inlet]

Bro are you using arclite version server

[pseudo hazel]

right but still

[wet breach]

since location can be a float, and using abs would also cause rounding errors

[coarse inlet]

.

[orchid trout]

why does it check if the pitch and yaw is above that tho

[pseudo hazel]

idk ask the dev xD

[wet breach]

I think some experiments need to be done in regards to this check

[orchid trout]

his plugin is supposed to be obfuscated

[sly topaz]

again, the client may send random shit to crash the server or something like that most likely

[wet breach]

I suppose this check makes sense if you were checking against their last location. But this check on its own, none of these values if sent to the server would crash it

[sly topaz]

it used to be a common pattern way back in 1.7, 1.8

[warm mica]

Doesn't make sense in the regard the protocol compresses yaw and pitch into a single byte and that condition is thereby impossible to be reached

[orchid trout]

yeah thats proabbly it

[pliant topaz]

Is there a way i can detect when a crash is happening or save the server upon crashing?

[rough drift]

there are thousands of ways, what kind of crash?

[swift dew]

is there any way to check if a player is looking at the block they broke?
what i tried but didnt work when i rotated fast while breaking blocks:

• looping all blocks within 5 meters distance with a block iterator (starting from the player's eye location) in a break block event
• having a loop that runs every tick that stores all players' locations, and looping all blocks within 5 meters distance with a block iterator (starting from each of all the recorded player's eye locations) after 2 minecraft ticks in a break block event
  extra: i tried to use both protocollib packets and bukkitrunnables for recording positions

[pliant topaz]

lets say theres an unexpected failure which causes an immediat shutdown

[rough drift]

like?

[pliant topaz]

so a critical exception in the main thread

[rough drift]

World#rayTrace

[quaint mantle]

No. But these are rare

[rough drift]

Thread#setUncaughtExceptionHandler

[pliant topaz]

okay, ty :)

[rough drift]

np

[pliant topaz]

is there also a way to do this when the server overloads and forces itself to crash as a tick took too long?

[rough drift]

that is a forced shutdown on the part of the server, not much you can do about it

you can change the spigot settings yml

to change how many seconds it should take

i.e. you can set it to "infinite" using Integer.MAX_VALUE

like 2147smt

what you doing this for btw?

[pliant topaz]

ig ill just wait until the server is just before shutting itself down, so it saves

[pliant topaz]

to prevent data losses

[rough drift]

oh there is something for that in Java

[pliant topaz]

there are frequent backups, but just in case

[rough drift]

Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(() -> {
    // Save your stuff
}));

[pliant topaz]

uiii

[rough drift]

it will not run if the JVM itself crashes

but you can't do anything about that

[pliant topaz]

yea

thx tho

[rough drift]

WARNING

there is a time limit

and a catch

[pliant topaz]

time limit to what?

[rough drift]

Runtime.getRuntime().halt() will skip the shutdown hooks

[rough drift]

the time the lambda can take

[pliant topaz]

oh i see

shouldnt be a problem

[rough drift]

wait nvm

that was in an old version

but

if the process is forcefully killed, if halt is called on the runtime, or the jvm crashes, that won't run

do not call anything that tells the process to exit inside a shutdown hook, or it will cause a deadlock

and do NOT throw runtime exceptions in there

@pliant topaz

[pliant topaz]

nothing i wanted to do anyway

[quaint mantle]

Make db queries sync at this point

[rough drift]

you have to

actually

[pliant topaz]

its only for trying to save

[rough drift]

sync to the thread you add into the shutdown hook

[pliant topaz]

db is updated frequently, but the world is only saves every 5-10min or somethin

[rough drift]

what are you saving???

the world itself??

[pliant topaz]

yea

[rough drift]

why???

[pliant topaz]

wait

oh yea

would be easier to just store the players inv/effects etc

[swift dew]

thanks now its working

[rough drift]

yeah

[pliant topaz]

inv is alr in the database and the world is really never saved.. huh

[rough drift]

it would

[pliant topaz]

now i feel stupid

[rough drift]

np

[pliant topaz]

because i forgot how my plugin itself works lmao

[grim hound]

Is there any way to modify the command block gui?

[pliant topaz]

wdym with modify excactly?

like modifiying ui elements?

[grim hound]

Like change the buttons

Leave just one button

The text

[pliant topaz]

its hardcoded iirc

[grim hound]

Hmm

[ivory sleet]

yep its very hard coded

[pliant topaz]

for the text u could use a texturepack as it uses translations

[grim hound]

I just need the player to paste a long text into something

Like 500+ characters long

[pliant topaz]

why do you need this excactly?

[grim hound]

To get the token they got from a website

[pliant topaz]

i mean, the player already can paste 500+ chars into the cmd block

[swift dew]

update: i acted too fast (sry about that), the reason i thought it was working is because i forgot to check if the arraylist contained the right block and i only checked if it contained any blocks
i think the problem is in the recording of players' locations and not on the raytrace method im using, it seems like sometimes, the client-side location that the block break event happened is not sent to the server

[grim hound]

Yes but it'd be confusing for the player

[swift dew]

what r u trying to do

send a cmd?

[pliant topaz]

and why do you want to use cmd block for this? wouldnt be the chat a better place to do this?

[grim hound]

I'll go with it if there aren't any alternatives

[grim hound]

Chat is limited to 256 characters

[grim hound]

.

[pliant topaz]

i mean, to even access a cmdblock normally you need operator

[grim hound]

I am a master packet manipulator

[pliant topaz]

you dont even need packets for that i think

[grim hound]

I do 98% of stuff with packets

[pliant topaz]

is there maybe a way you could shorten the amount of chars?

[grim hound]

PacketEvents amen

[pliant topaz]

like, that the initial text provided by the website is shorter?

[grim hound]

If there was I wouldn't be asking here

[pliant topaz]

hm

[grim hound]

It cannot

[swift dew]

what are you trying to do? give a url to a player?

[pliant topaz]

i think youd just have to use the normal cmdblock interface then

[rough drift]

master packeter

[grim hound]

Have the players paste a very long text in game

[swift dew]

why

[pliant topaz]

and maybe a resourcepack to change the text

[grim hound]

It doesn't have that texture

[pliant topaz]

its a translation

[swift dew]

cant u use books or smth?

[grim hound]

Oh the text could be there

[grim hound]

Books are even more limited than chat

[swift dew]

?

[grim hound]

If the characters are thin enough

Normal chars

It's way less

[swift dew]

you have multiple pages too

so you can paste part of the text to each page

[grim hound]

And how would you paste something into multiple pages?

[swift dew]

notepad

and split it

[grim hound]

It's way better to use the command block ui at this point

[shadow night]

What you guys doin'?

[grim hound]

Tryna paste

[shadow night]

paste what

[grim hound]

Have the player paste

[swift dew]

what are you even trying to paste a url?

[grim hound]

A long text

In-game

[swift dew]

why would you need that tho

[shadow night]

what for

[grim hound]

A token

[grim hound]

Get the token the player got from a website

[stuck oar]

how would i loop a list

like

for each item in a list

do sum

[shadow night]

Does it have to be 30k characters tho

[swift dew]

google?

[grim hound]

List::forEach

[stuck oar]

thanks

[grim hound]

It's around 500-600 chars

[swift dew]

cant u use discord?
