[shadow night]

why is it so huge

[grim hound]

I don't fuckin know

They just liked it this way

[swift dew]

who? tell em to change it

[shadow night]

Yeah

600 chars for a fricking token?

[grim hound]

Can't really

[shadow night]

1200 bytes in UTF-8

[pliant topaz]

that token is safer than sha256 💀

[grim hound]

xD

[swift dew]

can these people join a discord server and send the token there?

[shadow night]

That's a whole friggin' kilobyte

[swift dew]

if yes use jda

[grim hound]

Nope

[shadow night]

Sounds like command block gui is the best

[pliant topaz]

be takin 10x heat death of our universe until that shit be brutefor ed

[grim hound]

Okay

[shadow night]

I wonder if we have command block screen api

[pliant topaz]

not really

but u can get the cmd

[grim hound]

Yep

[pliant topaz]

so players would need to paste it and then press save

[grim hound]

Yep

[shadow night]

do we atleast have API to open the command block screen

[grim hound]

I'm still gonna do it with packets

[pliant topaz]

i dont think so either

[shadow night]

that's... disappointing

[pliant topaz]

yea

[grim hound]

Do you guys know

[pliant topaz]

i mean, i wanted to contribute but i seem to stupid to understand what excactly i gotta do to make sure it gets approved

[grim hound]

Whether I can at least modify the ui's text?

[shadow night]

Resourcepack?

[grim hound]

Couldn't find it

[shadow night]

Or what do you mean by change the ui's text

Like, change what the UI says?

[grim hound]

Ye

[pliant topaz]

you want to use a ressourcepack with custom lang file

[grim hound]

Ye

[blazing ocean]

command block guis are hardcoded

they have no textures

[pliant topaz]

you can basically copy the lang file from given version and modify that to fit your needs

[grim hound]

Even the text?

[pliant topaz]

but text

[blazing ocean]

no not that

[pliant topaz]

that depends on the lang, which can be modified

[shadow night]

Maybe because they consist of a textfield and 5 buttons?

[blazing ocean]

yeah

but there's no way to change the texture of any of that

[shadow night]

Not much you could softcode here tbf

[blazing ocean]

iirc the buttons are still default textures 💀

[pliant topaz]

yea

[blazing ocean]

and you can't change their texture by changing the button texture

moment

[shadow night]

Where tf is it fetching shit from

[pliant topaz]

i just realised

[shadow night]

That might be illogical

[blazing ocean]

well ive tried lmao

[shadow night]

Give me a minute, I'm gonna check the code

[blazing ocean]

they might've changed it in some version? not sure

[pliant topaz]

as the language file can modify the text, you could use a custom font to create custom backgrounds for the cmdblock 😮

[blazing ocean]

i tested back in like 1.20.2

[blazing ocean]

well that has to be in the default font

which you should never do unless for stuff like that and you need to be 100% sure the users cant paste it in game

[shadow night]

this.redstoneTriggerButton = this.addDrawableChild(
            CyclingButtonWidget.onOffBuilder(Text.translatable("advMode.mode.autoexec.bat"), Text.translatable("advMode.mode.redstoneTriggered"))
                .omitKeyText()
                .initially(this.autoActivate)
                .build(this.width / 2 + 50 + 4, 165, 100, 20, Text.translatable("advMode.triggering"), (button, autoActivate) -> this.autoActivate = autoActivate)
        );```

[blazing ocean]

that was back when they added sprites so maybe they just hadn't added it in there

[shadow night]

private static final ButtonTextures TEXTURES = new ButtonTextures(
        Identifier.ofVanilla("widget/button"), Identifier.ofVanilla("widget/button_disabled"), Identifier.ofVanilla("widget/button_highlighted")
    );```

[pliant topaz]

i like that, even tho minecraft has so much hardcoded and sh*t

its still really customizable

[blazing ocean]

shaders

[shadow night]

It's way better these days

[pliant topaz]

true

[shadow night]

With all the coreshaders and data driven shit

[blazing ocean]

i love shaders so so fucking much

[shadow night]

Back in the days we had no datapacks, only texturepacks and a barely working forgemodloader without mixins

[pliant topaz]

me still hoping for the modding api

[shadow night]

Modding API?

[blazing ocean]

mojang

[pliant topaz]

i think it was in like 1.3

they announced an official modding api for java

[shadow night]

Please no

[pliant topaz]

but they scrapped it as there were enough community made ones

[shadow night]

I don't wanna write js code for my mods

[blazing ocean]

it would be even jankier

[shadow night]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/minecraft-server?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[rough drift]

back in my day playing multiplayer was a privilege

[pliant topaz]

it wouldve been a java api

probably similar to todays forge/fabric

[shadow night]

Probably more similar to bukkit

[pliant topaz]

but it wouldnt have required you to restart the game

[shadow night]

Where they don't show any internals, only API

[pliant topaz]

instead you could have different mods for different worlds etc and maybe even a mod workshop ingame and stuff

but as they scrapped it

[shadow night]

We can do everything with mods these days

[pliant topaz]

ik

but you still have to restart your game

[shadow night]

With a few (not so) simple mixins we can create more than mojang ever will

[blazing ocean]

hot reloading:

[shadow night]

or... Do you?

Freezing and unfreezing registries has been a common practice always

With mixins we can do anything

Including dynamically enabled and disabled mods (and possibly mixins)

[pliant topaz]

oooooh since when?

well, okay, since mixins xd

[shadow night]

It was always possible

[rough drift]

my idea is to just make a spigot-like API but with the power of fabric mods, I'm cooked 💀

[shadow night]

Just nobody wanted to do it

[karmic falcon]

Hi, I have a question let us say my configuration file looks like this:

Pets:
     Cat:
           -Data about this pet
     Dog:
           -Data about this pet

How would I go about getting a String[] which contains the names of those pets, in this case it would be: {Cat,Dog}

[pliant topaz]

thats what the official api wouldve been like

[rough drift]

that's kinda what I'm working on tbh

[karmic falcon]

I'm using yaml configuration BTW idk what's the difference

[rough drift]

I just have too little time this month to make a proper release 😭 so it's a bit half assed

[shadow night]

Imo an API currently is completely unneeded

[rough drift]

wym

[shadow night]

Everything works by basing on minecrafts internals, besides bukkit ofc, that's a special case

[rough drift]

my goal is to kinda make a universal API, I am like 3 classes away 😭

It would allow you to take the same jar and run it on a spigot server, a fabric server, a forge server, a fabric client, a forge client

[shadow night]

And that gives way more abilities than layering through a layer of API

[shadow night]

We have already done this with having a common subproject and then a lot of subprojects for every loader

[rough drift]

Well, the plan is to allow custom rendering, entities, items, blocks, etc

[rough drift]

use any org.bukkit class and you're already cooked

it is much more effort to do that than use a standardized API

[shadow night]

It is a pretty cool idea but it's just too hard to keep such an API and all its 20 impls updated

[shadow night]

Until that API doesn't have one loader-specific feature so you have to reinvent it

[blazing ocean]

i love the bukkit api and hate it at the same time

[rough drift]

Honestly, not really, most of it can be abstracted even further from minecraft

[shadow night]

Same

[rough drift]

wym

explain

[torn badge]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/configuration/ConfigurationSection.html#getKeys(boolean)

[blazing ocean]

it's so restrictive imo

like, no async?

[rough drift]

that is a mc problem not bukkit

[blazing ocean]

you can do some vanilla stuff async

[rough drift]

fair

[karmic falcon]

Thnx!

[pliant topaz]

When mc always runs multithreaded it would be a hella lot faster i believe

(if done properly)

[rough drift]

honestly mc has a glaring issue that nobody talks about that would substantially speed up, well, everything in the game with a "small" rewrite

[shadow night]

Hard to explain

[torn badge]

Only because you can doesn't mean you should

[shadow night]

I was writing a big ass text but got bored and deleted it

[blazing ocean]

:)

[rough drift]

ctrl+z

send it

I want to know

[shadow night]

I'm on phone kek

[rough drift]

shit

well

summarize

[shadow night]

Libraries

[rough drift]

okay, what do you mean with libraries?

[pliant topaz]

yea, just a "simple rewrite"
PM: Lets assigm like 5 story points to it, i want it done next week 💀

[rough drift]

lmao fr

no it would take a while

but much less than multithreading

and would be HUGELY more performant

I'm talking about

ensuring memory locality 🎉

there are 3 arrays in mc

that are

so fucking sparse

it's sad

[shadow night]

Unless libraries get ported to work with your API or your API starts featuring the same features as libraries, users may not have tbe ability to do something specific. And then there are also mixins

[pliant topaz]

lets do a dev project where we invite anyone who wants to participate into that rewrite, then send it to microsoft and wait for a billion dollar copyright claim while they steal the code

[rough drift]

it is meant to provide every library under the sun, and provide the tools to make one yourself much more easily.

[rough drift]

oh well, it is actually very easy to do if I can find that class again

man I want to do that now

[shadow night]

An API wrapping around a system will always be atleast a bit restrictive

[rough drift]

It has a Packet API that stays up to date with mc, you have access to the raw packets, it's not restrictive

it lets you do anything

[shadow night]

It's always restrictive to some degree

[rough drift]

the minimal amount, to be honest

[shadow night]

Does it let me mixin into the FogRenderer and change some values in a certain method call?

[rough drift]

It will expose those values for you in a nice and handy documented API

[shadow night]

And how many decades are you planning to spend on developing such an API?

[rough drift]

also it runs on the server

so like

😭

[rough drift]

honestly, not many at all

[shadow night]

There is always some scenario which you just can't think of

[rough drift]

make an issue

add it to the API

[shadow night]

I wouldn't even know that the FogRenderer class existed if I didn't have to write a mod that mixined into it

[torn badge]

FogRenderer on the server, gg

[rough drift]

lmao

[shadow night]

And then you'll have to work on some god damn API for the rest of your life adding features like "add newly added method removeShit(World world) to ShitManager"

[rough drift]

not really, it's OS anyone can contribute lmao

[shadow night]

okay, but who will? Are you sure that there will be more than 3 people willing to use it?

[eternal night]

Sponge moment

[shadow night]

A fuckton of mod devs will never quit their ancient ass forge or their beloved fabric (or for the femboys, quilt)

[rough drift]

I am going to assume so, once I get out of my exams I'll begin adding the "fun" stuff

[shadow night]

Eh I wouldn't be surprised if you aren't the first one to make something like that

I'm even pretty sure it has been done before, to some degree

[eternal night]

Sometimes you gotta reinvent the wheel

Otherwise the wheel won't get better

[rough drift]

^

[shadow night]

Is this the case tho?

[rough drift]

it would be what bukkit tried to do, but more modern

[eternal night]

And hey, it is a fun project. Yea, chances are it'll die as a brick disguises as a wheel, but it's always a learning.

[shadow night]

Eh, the bukkit approach is kinda meh imo

[eternal night]

And maybe it will actually be a wheel

[shadow night]

Out of brick

[rough drift]

There is a possibility, like everything

[eternal night]

Not like you loose anything attempting

[river oracle]

The bukkit approach is actually great imho.

[eternal night]

Wellll

[shadow night]

Well, time is worth a lot

[rough drift]

Kinda

not always

[eternal night]

Depends

[shadow night]

I prefer the fabric approach

[river oracle]

Obscures internals and doesn't let people fuck with them

[rough drift]

hey, it brings me joy to work on it, instead of using my time to like idk play videogames I use it for this

it's a learning experience that may do something useful

[eternal night]

Both approaches have their merit

Fabric fails in some spots that paper doesn't and the other way around

[rough drift]

also I can literally add mixins if you want lmao

[shadow night]

I personally would prefer to waste my time WoT rather than that type of project, but do whatever brings you joy!

[shadow night]

And watch them break on bukkit?

[river oracle]

Adding mixin support is pretty easy

[rough drift]

Remapping, mixins would be handled by the framework itself eitherway

[shadow night]

"remapping" ???

[river oracle]

Hot take chat but spigot switches to mojmaps???

[eternal night]

Maybe remove CB relocation???

[rough drift]

spigot has different names for a lot of things

[shadow night]

Indermediary!

[eternal night]

That would be crazy

[river oracle]

Yet another hot take

[shadow night]

That's not an issue

I have done remapping countless time

[eternal night]

Would be so sick, some forks should try it

[rough drift]

I can add that into my framework

[river oracle]

Lol lemme PR quick tonight kekw

[shadow night]

Mixins break on bukkit because

1. Bukkit makes some private methods/fields public
2. Bukkit does not support mixins

[rough drift]

automatically converts to the relocated packages

[rough drift]

you can manually add mixins

[river oracle]

Laughs in ignite

[rough drift]

hell my friend literally got them running on spigot

[shadow night]

CVN handles remapping and cb relocation too, Paulem did it, Idk how ngl

[river oracle]

Mixins aren't hard to add

Don't act like this is some monumental.task

[shadow night]

Yet that is some extra trouble for the user

[rough drift]

well, I'll show you

I'll implement it and you'll see what I mean

granted it'll take a while

[shadow night]

Okay I'll wait

[rough drift]

first version is nowhere near my goal for a first version at ALL

[shadow night]

#bot-commands

[river oracle]

Pretty simple

It's just mapping

[eternal night]

Mixins work until you realise you just gave the equivalent of a nuclear powered hammer to someone that has ~3 months of coding experience

[shadow night]

Yeah some asm shit

[shadow night]

Indeed

[river oracle]

Lol true

[kindred valley]

Sorry dude. Mixed the channels thanks for directing

[river oracle]

It's just a loop

For loops go crazy

ASM is glorified for loop just look at commodore

[eternal night]

I always considered the upside of the Bukkit approach and a stable API that is is a lot harder for plugins to fuck each other up

[shadow night]

https://github.com/SpigotCVN/CVN/blob/main/src/main/java/io/github/spigotcvn/cvn/asm/AsmWriter.java here's whatever paulem did

[river oracle]

I've never real had a plugin compatibility nightmare like I have with mods

[eternal night]

Incompatibility between projects becomes a lot easier when one project just casually replaces the entire method logic

[shadow night]

True

I should inform all the people who use redirect and overwrite in mixins that that is a bad approach and causes lots of incompat

[slender elbow]

no

[eternal night]

Emily (idiot staff)?

[slender elbow]

paper is idiot

got it

[shadow night]

Paper is meeh

[eternal night]

Facts, all my homes work on

Carbanetty MC

[shadow night]

How dare they patch my tnt duping

[eternal night]

Or whatever

[river oracle]

Add mixins to paper and eat your words

[stuck oar]

anyone know how i get like animal heads in 1.8 because i cant setOwningPlayer on a playerhead

[shadow night]

I wonder if I'm allowed to contribute to it

[eternal night]

That PR was closed by our god and saviour kennytvn

[river oracle]

No way

[river oracle]

💪🙏🔥

[shadow night]

You could not use 1.8 and instead use latest!

[stuck oar]

my server is 1.8?

[shadow night]

why

[stuck oar]

factions

[river oracle]

Ok

[shadow night]

Factions?

[river oracle]

Then figure it out yourself

[eternal night]

@slender elbow do you have a ready to use set and get nbt class for 1.8 for me

Thanks

[stuck oar]

yea

[shadow night]

Why should anybody here help with a version of the software that is almost a teenager

[stuck oar]

aight bro chill out

[river oracle]

Hey it just happened to turn 9

[stuck oar]

legit just asking

[river oracle]

We still got 4 more years

[echo basalt]

shit's fucked when your audience is younger than the minecraft version

[shadow night]

That's very soon

[shadow night]

Yes

[river oracle]

Lol

[slender elbow]

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

[shadow night]

Google is a pretty good place to ask too :)

[stuck oar]

i have

[river oracle]

This version released 3 years before you were born kid

[stuck oar]

lots

[shadow night]

Then you have done it wrong?

[eternal night]

Thanks

[stuck oar]

not everything on google is true bro trust me ive tried

[river oracle]

Using 1.8 and not making your own fork is wild

[stuck oar]

ion know what a fork is

[river oracle]

Checks out

[shadow night]

@blazing ocean aren't you using your own fork even tho you aren't on 1.8

[river oracle]

If you have a server and have in-house developers you should probably run your own fork and upstream performance patches

Just sayinnn

[blazing ocean]

..yes?

[shadow night]

Also, I have taken part in atleast 2 factions servers that were running on 1.20.4

No idea why you'd run 1.8

[eternal night]

Upstream performance patches? What's that

[slender elbow]

upstream? what's that

[slender elbow]

you'd also figure that if you're gonna run 1.8 you should know what you're doing but you'd be surprised by the amount of people that run unpatched spigot/paper 1.8 that are absolutely littered with exploits

[blazing ocean]

tfw people crash their server within 4 packets:

[river oracle]

I would make some it's just you know

I'm not good enough to notice lag

I don't have enough friends to cause lag either

[blazing ocean]

use offline mode and a botting tool :)

[eternal night]

Fix opening player inventories instead

[remote swallow]

OFFLINE MODE?!

[remote swallow]

fix commodore

[eternal night]

We just got the issue on paper

[eternal night]

By removing it?

[remote swallow]

nah

make it not laggy

[eternal night]

There is no saving

[remote swallow]

asycn will fix everything

[blazing ocean]

make vanilla async

[eternal night]

Async class loading

[rough drift]

hey lynx how about ya'll upstream some patches

[remote swallow]

async cow movement paper fork when

[rough drift]

only the good ones though

absolutely fuck the api changes

[eternal night]

Nah I think we are good

[blazing ocean]

bro does NOT want components

[rough drift]

I do not want paper's components ew 🤮

[blazing ocean]

why

[eternal night]

I thinking bringing components and API improvements to your common smp plugin Dev would be a bit overwhelming

[rough drift]

nah, it's just that they're overly shit

[eternal night]

Mhm, for sure

Truely terrible abstraction over mojangs used text representation

Gimme those incomplete dataloosing legacy strings babyy

[rough drift]

no fuck legacy strings

but also fuck paper components

[ivory sleet]

We love strings :(

[rough drift]

I want something actually good that isn't... well, whatever ya'll have going on

[eternal night]

?

[blazing ocean]

genuinely

[ivory sleet]

Good is different to everybody sadly

[blazing ocean]

wtf is wrong with adventure

[ivory sleet]

if it just were so easy

[eternal night]

Adventure component API is as close of a representation of internals as it gets

You can build formats or whatever you want on top of it

[pseudo hazel]

you are free to write something thats actually good

[rough drift]

I'm trying but given the fact that I'm overwhelmed by so much stuff right now I barely have the time to

[pseudo hazel]

sadge

[rough drift]

it's on my todo list to actually do that, which will probably happen in a bit

[eternal night]

Well let us know once you abstracted Mojang internals into an API that isn't components but allows all the same things

[blazing ocean]

mm:

i mean

still components

[slender elbow]

mm is not components

it's just a string representation of a component just like json is, you still need a java object and api to represent them

[ivory sleet]

i mean dont get me wrong, adventure is cool and all that, even so I think its a bit over engineered at times for example implementing the examinable api (its been with adventure for a long time so its understandable, would be hard to just rip it out), ofc examination has its use cases but still

[eternal night]

Yea, some of the non component parts go places

[slender elbow]

i'm not a fan of the api and i think it's overhyped how many people in paper discord say "it's the most significant and valuable change paper does" like okay lmao sure

[blazing ocean]

i mean it is pretty important

[slender elbow]

also adventure itself carries quite its own legacy crux and half the methods are deprecated because brr breaking changes

[eternal night]

Yea the time for adventure 5 is

Uhhh

Someday

[blazing ocean]

soon™

[slender elbow]

it is important, but many make it seem like the single most important change, far beyond everything else

[eternal night]

Well, I guess you can kinda get that impression because spigot has 0 support for any component stuff outside messages

So it isn't really adventure that is the best change it's the "any way to do components"

[river oracle]

What broke it 💀

Oh it's other player inventories

Oh my god 😭 fucking hate that you can do this

[eternal night]

Iirc md brought it up here too

Haven't looked at it

But I guess I'll have to

[river oracle]

He did I still need to look at why

[eternal night]

Given that the spigot inventory expert refuses work

[river oracle]

My guess is craft container botch or something

[eternal night]

[river oracle]

Me having a full time job be like 😭

[river oracle]

It's been around d since 1.18.2 so it's not super high on my todo was planning to look into that and craft merchant this week

The issue is that the player inventory is bigger than MenuType 9x4 but also

Switching it to 9x5 might cause issues for existing plugins

[eternal night]

Yea XD

It'll be a fun slap into inventory view concertSlot or something

[river oracle]

Later stages of inventory PR should fix if you use MenuType but like blegh

Opening non openable containers is tough

[eternal night]

Well at least I'll finally make it home to my beloved setup in like 2 hours

[river oracle]

Woooo fun

I have 3 hours of work left

[stuck oar]

is there any way to make my own variable

[quaint mantle]

Object myVariable = null

[river oracle]

Lol

[shadow night]

I have a geniusly stupid idea

What if we mix NotNull/Nullable annotations with Optionals and get: Nullable<T>, NotNull<T>

[river oracle]

💀

[shadow night]

Basically, optionals but shitty

And then force them on all spigot users

Good idea?

[kindred valley]

I intentionally missed it

Ty for doing it for me

[stuck oar]

what about one relating to the player

like players amount of something

[worthy yarrow]

That’s held within their inventory

[stuck oar]

nono

like

a players balance

ik theres eco plugins n stuff

Why would a configurationSection be always returning null if its not?

 public User(UUID playerUUID, FileHandler fileHandler) {
        this.playerUUID = playerUUID;
        this.fileHandler = fileHandler;
        if (this.fileHandler.getConfig().contains("Rank")) {
            this.playerRank = fileHandler.getConfig().getString("Rank");
        } else if (this.fileHandler.getConfig().contains("Allowed-homes")) {
            this.allowedHomes = fileHandler.getConfig().getInt("Homes.Allowed-homes");
        } else if (this.fileHandler.getConfig().isConfigurationSection("Homes")) {
            this.playerHomes = fileHandler.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Homes").getKeys(false);
        }

    }

Homes:
  home:
    ==: org.bukkit.Location
    world: world
    x: 6.485744877474398
    y: 105.0
    z: 10.694169240023918
    pitch: 67.80005
    yaw: -67.95006

Where the error is coming from

            if (!user.getFileHandler().getConfig().contains("Homes") || user.getPlayerHomes().isEmpty()) {
                send(sender, "&4You don't have any homes!");
                return true;
            }```

[chrome beacon]

What's the error

[viscid carbon]

        at me.arkallic.core.commands.homes.HomeCommand.onCommand(HomeCommand.java:29) ~[?:?]```

[chrome beacon]

#help-server

[stuck oar]

oh ok thanks

[chrome beacon]

so is playerHomes just a list of Strings?

[viscid carbon]

no, its a ConfigurationSection.

The home is also a ConfigurationSection with the data inside

[chrome beacon]

Then that code would give a compile error

[viscid carbon]

.contains() only works for Stringlists?

[chrome beacon]

You're assigning playerHomes to a list of Strings

[viscid carbon]

oh...

my.

uhmm

ignore me

Is it fine to store a MongoDB document in memory for every online player or should I only get their active profile from the document and dump the rest since they can have multiple profiles

[river oracle]

Depends how much data you're dealing with. In most cases I'd say that's completely fine. Though I wouldn't store thw BSON document I'd turn it into something meaningful first

If a player can have multiple profiles only storing their active profile is good

[sand spire]

Alright thanks, cause I turned the active profile into something meaningful already and I thought I could just save the document for when the player switches profiles but I will just get it from the database async

if (!kingdoms.isEmpty()) {
            Configurable config = kingdomsConfig.getConfig();
            if (config != null) {
                for (Map.Entry<String, String> kingdom : kingdoms.entrySet()) {
                    if (!kingdoms.containsKey(config.getNode(kingdom.getKey()).toPrimitive().getString()) || !kingdoms.containsValue(config.getNode(kingdom.getValue()).toPrimitive().getString())) {
                        config.set("kingdoms." + null, null);

                }
            }
            config.save();
        }

for some reason this removes all players from the kingdoms node whenever i execute the /k leave <kingdom> command

kingdomsConfig.getConfig() is just defining where the config should go in the server files

[torn badge]

Why is that looking so complicated

[rigid loom]

🤷‍♂️

[torn badge]

It would be way easier to debug if you introduced some more variables

Instead of chaining 50 calls

[rigid loom]

if (!kingdoms.isEmpty()) {
            Configurable config = kingdomsConfig.getConfig();
            if (config != null) {
                for (Map.Entry<String, String> kingdom : kingdoms.entrySet()) {
                    boolean configContainsKingdomKey = kingdoms.containsKey(config.getNode(kingdom.getKey()).toPrimitive().getString());
                    boolean configContainsKingdomValue = kingdoms.containsValue(config.getNode(kingdom.getValue()).toPrimitive().getString());
                    
                    if (!configContainsKingdomKey || !configContainsKingdomValue) {
                        config.set("kingdoms." + null, null);
                    } else {
                        config.set("kingdoms." + kingdom.getKey(), kingdom.getValue());
                    }
                }
            }
            config.save();
        }```

[torn badge]

"kingdoms." + null?

[rigid loom]

dont know how else to remove the person from the kingdom

but it removes everyone from the thing

[torn badge]

Save it as a string list

[rigid loom]

wdym?

[torn badge]

And then get the list, remove the player, and save the list back to config

[rigid loom]

ill work on it then send here once i think ive figured it out

Hey i'm using a scoreboard and the placeholder from spigot and when i try to configure how much entity "modded" is kill seems like no recognize the entity, there is a way to find the entity ?

[magic solar]

Hey i'm very new to plugin dev so sorry if stupid questions. what is the correct way to log inside another package as the way i'm trying is giving me an IDE warning. It works but I feel there is a butter way.

    fun creatureSpawnEvent(event: CreatureSpawnEvent) {
        Bukkit.getLogger().info("Tried to spawn " + event.entity.name)
        event.isCancelled = true
    }```

this gives a yellow line under .getLogger()

[golden turret]

how can i update the light of a chunk? I ||took the code from nms||wrote a method to place blocks faster than Block#setBlockData but that does not update the light. 1.20.1

[onyx fjord]

yall know why BlockGrowEvent -> getBlock -> getType returns AIR for SUGAR_CANE?

[sleek creek]

I think you have to look if its the type you want

[onyx fjord]

i have a listener like this:

    @EventHandler(ignoreCancelled = true)
    public void onGrow(BlockGrowEvent event) {
        System.out.println(event.getBlock().getType());
    }

i have a sugarcane growing and this returns AIR

wtf

[sleek creek]

Try this

public void onGrowEvent(BlockGrowEvent event){
           if(event.getBlock().getType() == Material.WHEAT_SEEDS){
               Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage("Test");
        }
    }

[onyx fjord]

the issue is sugar cane never appears tho

when sugar cane grows on the server air prints

[sleek creek]

Hmm

[onyx fjord]

ill do a loc check

[sleek creek]

Try

event.getNewState().getBlock().getType()

[onyx fjord]

oh interesting

ill look into that

nah, but ill just use relative faces to get bottom block for air

Oh, i have to do it manually then, thats a shame

Thanks

[alpine swan]

is it possible to make it so when a player takes damage it is as if they have a different armor set on (like the damage they take)? accurate explosion damage is important so a basic multiplier wont work

[golden turret]

I found a way: I have to call the ThreadedLevelLightEngine#relight(Set, Function, IntConsumer) method. The method has an async check, but you can copy the code and remove that

[muted otter]

Hey, I am having an issue with YAML. For some reason, when I try to access buttons as an integer list, it is always empty, which means that it is null. Does anyone know why this is?

alt-menu:
 title: "<green>My Epic Menu</green>"
 rows: two
 buttons:
  - 0:
    item:
     type: diamond_sword
     amount: 3
     name: "<green>Ultra <bold>SWORD</bold></green>"
  - 1:
    item:
     type: netherite_leggings
     amount: 3
     name: "Gucci Leggings"

[lost matrix]

"buttons" is a list of objects

[muted otter]

how can I make it a list of integers?

or is that not something i could do in this situation

[lost matrix]

 buttons:
  - 0
  - 1
  - 2

Or

buttons: [0, 1, 2]

[muted otter]

oh, so it cannot have sub-categories if it is a list of integers?

[quaint mantle]

Keys are strings

[lost matrix]

A list of integers will always be a list of integers and a list of objects will always be a list of objects.
I have no idea what sub-categories for integers are.
What are you trying to do? Maybe a List isnt the right choice here.

This for example would be a Map<String, Object> or even Map<Integer, Object> if read correctly:

 buttons:
  0:
    item:
      type: diamond_sword
      amount: 3
      name: "<green>Ultra <bold>SWORD</bold></green>"
  1:
    item:
      type: netherite_leggings
      amount: 3
      name: "Gucci Leggings"

[quaint mantle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/configuration/ConfigurationSection.html#getKeys(boolean)

Then pass it to

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/configuration/ConfigurationSection.html#getConfigurationSection(java.lang.String)

[muted otter]

Hey, I am still having a little trouble:

alt-menu:
 title: "<green>My Epic Menu</green>"
 rows: two
 buttons:
  - 0:
    item:
     type: diamond_sword
     amount: 3
     name: "<green>Ultra <bold>SWORD</bold></green>"

for some reason, the key at alt-menu.buttons.0.item.type is null. I have a feeling that it is not formatted correctly though

[carmine mica]

is this YAML? You have a list in that, which you can't go into via the string key

alt-menu:
  title: "<green>My Epic Menu</green>"
  rows: two
  buttons:
    0:
      item:
        type: diamond_sword
        amount: 3
        name: "<green>Ultra <bold>SWORD</bold></green>"

that would be the format you want which would match the key

I'm actually not sure if just a number is a supported key, but if it is, then thats it

[muted otter]

oh i see what it means now, thank you

[humble tulip]

    private final Map<String, Map<String, FactionBoost>> factionBoosts = new HashMap<>();

This is essentially a Map<String, Map<Identifier, Boost>>
Boosts that are applied may be effects that applies to all players in the faction. I'd like to make some of the boosts temporary. What are some ways I can go about doing so cleanly?

I was thinking save the endtime and timertask scheduled to run at endtime of the boost into a Map<String(Faction ID), Map<BoostName(String), Pair<TimerTask,Long>>>. If a boost is manually cancelled beforehand, i remove it from the map and cancel the timertask

This does seem a bit convoluted so if anyone has a cleaner solution, please lmk. ping when repsonding please

5 ticks

[muted otter]

PATH IS: alt-menu.buttons.0
SLOT IS: 0

PATH IS: alt-menu.buttons.1
SLOT IS: 0

This is a sample configuration:

 buttons:
  0:
    item:
     type: diamond_sword
     amount: 3
     name: "<green>Ultra <bold>SWORD</bold></green>"
  1:
    item:
     type: netherite_leggings
     amount: 5
     name: "Gucci Leggings"

The issue is that I am trying to get the slot based on the path, using ConfigurationSection#getInt, however, it is returning 0 and I am not sure why.

[drowsy helm]

can you show the code where you try to access it

[humble tulip]

you need to get the Config Section for buttons

Then do getKeys(false)

That'll return a set<string>

[muted otter]

public Button getButton(final String path) {
  int slot = getInt(path);
  System.out.println("PATH IS: " + path);
  System.out.println("SLOT IS: " + slot);
    }

for (String key : section.getKeys(false)) {
  Button button = getDisplayButton(path + ".buttons." + key);
  addButton(displayButton);
}

This is what I have

[humble tulip]

Which contains {0,1,2} etc

[drowsy helm]

whats in getDisplayButton?

[muted otter]

that is same as getButton basically

[humble tulip]

You're doing something wrong

[drowsy helm]

well button is not an int

it's a section

[humble tulip]

Are you calling integer.parseInt anywhere?

[muted otter]

No..

[humble tulip]

That's the issue

[muted otter]

Oh, so it reads it as a string?

[humble tulip]

Nothing is giving you an int

You gotta parse it yourself

Yes

[muted otter]

ah ok i see

[humble tulip]

And it's the section name

[muted otter]

oh, and that is a string

i see

[humble tulip]

Yep

[pale hazel]

not sure what is going on

[drowsy helm]

org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidDescriptionException: Invalid plugin.yml```

[humble tulip]

No plugin.yml in jar

It says that in the error

[pale hazel]

Okay yeah but weird. I am building and exporting the JAR to plugin directory within Intellij it must not be including the plugin.yml and I dont know why

[drowsy helm]

what are you building it with?

[humble tulip]

Bump

[pale hazel]

building it as an artifact within Intellij

[humble tulip]

Ew

[drowsy helm]

use maven or gradle

[humble tulip]

But when i used to do that, you have to specify the resources that gets put in the jar file

[pale hazel]

ohhhhhh

[drowsy helm]

you should have some unified FactionData class per faction

then you wouldn't need a nested map

[humble tulip]

Ah true

Ok

Faction data can eliminate both nested maps

[drowsy helm]

then you can just do Map<Boost, Long>

[humble tulip]

I haven't coded in a while

[drowsy helm]

being boost applied, and expiration time

[humble tulip]

Is the timer task idea a good one?

But i dont wanna keep checking all boosts for expiration time, hence the timertask

[drowsy helm]

yeah, you can have one iterating every few ticks to check expiration

multiple tasks will be less efficient then one iterating over expirations

[humble tulip]

Okay ty

[wet breach]

I would probably make my own event scheduler thing for this. This way you know when a boost has been cancelled and if you want to do anything etc. a bit more code to setup but in the long run beneficial and makes things easier

Custom events are a thing you can do

[near furnace]

public class SpawnListeners implements Listener {

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
        Plugin plugin = Main.getPlugin();
        Player p = e.getEntity();

        Location bedSpawnLocation = p.getBedSpawnLocation();
        if (bedSpawnLocation == null) {
            double x = plugin.getConfig().getDouble("spawn.x");
            double y = plugin.getConfig().getDouble("spawn.y");
            double z = plugin.getConfig().getDouble("spawn.z");
            float pitch = (float) plugin.getConfig().getDouble("spawn.pitch");
            float yaw = (float) plugin.getConfig().getDouble("spawn.yaw");
            String worldName = plugin.getConfig().getString("spawn.world");

            if (worldName != null) {
                Location spawnLocation = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld(worldName), x, y, z, yaw, pitch);
                p.setBedSpawnLocation(spawnLocation, true);
                p.sendMessage("You have no bed spawn point set! You have been teleported to the spawn");
            } else {
                World world;
                world = Bukkit.getWorlds().getFirst();
                p.setRespawnLocation(world.getSpawnLocation(), true);
            }
        }
    }
}```

I've been trying this code to do the following:
1. On player death, if no bed respawn point set, teleport them to the set spawn with a message
2. Else, if there is no set spawn set, enable natural spawning

Problems:
1. If I set the spawn and delete the config, and restart the server to remove the set spawn data. It still somehow sends the player to that spawn on death. Minecraft probably caches it somewhere



*Tried at the paper server, they couldn't help. You guys are my last hope 😭

[worldly ice]

i mean yeah that makes sense, you're setting the player's bed spawnpoint whenever they die and don't already have one

bed spawnpoints are saved in player nbt

[near furnace]

owh

owh how should i enable normal bed spawning in the else condition?

[worldly ice]

this would probably work better in a PlayerRespawnEvent

if they don't have a bed spawnpoint, tp them to the location in the config

you might have to wait a tick before doing that im not sure

actually nvm it has a #setRespawnLocation method

so you dont even have to tp

[near furnace]

i tried that, it found the death event easier

[near furnace]

ok lemme try that

@worldly ice its not even tp'ing me to the spawn even when there is a setspawn

[worldly ice]

send code

[worldly ice]

and you're getting the message in chat?

[near furnace]

yea

[near furnace]

i get the message sometimes, but sometimes it says the regular minecraft dialouge, You have no home bed or it was obstructed

because, i need to check if the player has a bedspawnlocation or not, if not teleport them to spawn

[worldly ice]

might be a paper issue, it looks like they added extra params to the setRespawnLocation method

[dawn flower]

why does super.clone() suck at 2d arrays

it just sets any 2+d array as null

[worldly ice]

i think you should be able to use #isBedSpawn to check that

[near furnace]

instead of p.setRespawnLocation i used e.respawnLocation it should work now

[near furnace]

THIS THING EXISTS?

[worldly ice]

oh i didn't even see that

curse you 1 letter variable names

[near furnace]

xD

[near furnace]

like this?

}```

[worldly ice]

dont make me link you to #help-development message

[near furnace]

or i could just use the location object

[worldly ice]

oh yeah and on the topic of that message, i would use a guard clause instead

if (e.isBedSpawn()) return;

// rest of code

[near furnace]

owh thats neat

but lets see if it works first, then we can make the code more better and efficient

[worldly ice]

yeah then you won't run into any pyramids of doom

[near furnace]

yessirrrr setting it to e.setRespawnLocation worked

[worldly ice]

hooray

[near furnace]

💀 what is this abomination

if's and else's

[near furnace]

now lemme check if it still enables regular spawning if there is no /setspawn

[worldly ice]

fr sometimes it would get so nested it would go outside of my monitor

i'd have to scroll horizontally to look at it

a lot of my old code came from eclipse ( 🤮 ) and lemme tell you it was a sight for sore eye

thats so bad

reminds me of some decompiled mc code

[near furnace]

omg yes yes yes yes yes, when there is no setspawn it turns on regular spawning parameters

spigot thank you

[worldly ice]

i think i was doing something with entity attributes and the entire class is just one unmodifiable map that got initialized with every single entity all on a single line

[drowsy helm]

??????

[worldly ice]

jesus christ

[dawn flower]

that's the case for every developer, you could look at your code now like 1 year later and also hate it

oh my god

[near furnace]

i tried getting help from the paper server but to no avail

[drowsy helm]

who the fuck wrote that

to the slammer

[dawn flower]

that still doesn't justify that

that's a war crime

[worldly ice]

fr

[dawn flower]

what does it do tho

[worldly ice]

yeah we dont talk about the project that im working on rn that just has a gigantic enum with all my custom items 👀

its fine i'll move to like a registry eventually

[dawn flower]

imagine if hypixel stored it in the same way

[worldly ice]

hypixel skyblock

10k lines of items

[dawn flower]

you forgot an extra 0

they already got 50k items

[drowsy helm]

had someone for one of my uni projects write this last year

[worldly ice]

dang i did not realize it was that many

thats actually crazy

[dawn flower]

...

i was being sarcastic lmao

but they do have alot

[worldly ice]

oh my fault gang

they have too many lets be honest

[worldly ice]

wtf is this

man you dont even need a helper function for that 😭

[drowsy helm]

like a function for that is bad enough

but it couldve been done in one fucking line

[worldly ice]

fr

[normal thicket]

https://github.com/1lolplayer1/IDE-A
here lol my first project I don't even remember what I have here but ik that it's bad

[near furnace]

@worldly ice
look,
When I set my bed spawn and then break it, killing myself afterwards. Instead of sending just the "You have no bed spawn point! Teleporting you to spawn", it also sends the minecraft "You have no home bed or respawn anchor, or it was obstructed". Both of them together at the same time

[worldly ice]

not sure if you can change that

not without cancelling the event

[dawn flower]

am i trippin or is that python, js and c++ in one code

[near furnace]

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh :(

[drowsy helm]

c++

[dawn flower]

ah

[drowsy helm]

stupid naming convention

[worldly ice]

c++ 😔

i refuse to learn c++

[drowsy helm]

shitty syntax aside, it's a great language

[near furnace]

thats why i used death event lol, but that came with its own problems

[drowsy helm]

super powerful, but i wouldn't recommend it for most projects

[worldly ice]

yeah but i've been learning rust the past like year or two and it seems to be able to do anything i would need c++ for

[drowsy helm]

ah yeah rust>>>> any day

[worldly ice]

https://tenor.com/view/dsmp-gif-27256181

[worldly ice]

real ive been doing like everything in rust now

gotten to that point when im searching up mc servers written in rust

[drowsy helm]

lmao

[worldly ice]

and then seeing a graveyard of like 3 abandoned projects

last commit 3 years ago

[dawn flower]

3 abandoned projects is a graveyard?

dear lord

[near furnace]

datasian do you know any methods to cancel any events that says "You have no home bed or respawn anchor, or it was obstructed" from the game code. Like disable it

[worldly ice]

its a new metric

"yeah how many graveyards do you have?"

[dawn flower]

"10"

[worldly ice]

idk, that message might even be client-sided

[worldly ice]

dear lord you have a cemetary at that point

[dawn flower]

fr

[near furnace]

damn, so i can't really change that then

[normal thicket]

funny how both rust players and rust coders are same sweats

[worldly ice]

yeah its a bit jank but i dont see why that won't work

[worldly ice]

fr

[near furnace]

didnt understand shi-

im half brained

[worldly ice]

im adding that to my dictionary

along with room temperature iq

[near furnace]

it happens when i set a bed respawn point and break it, and then kill myself afterwards

then it prints the message

[near furnace]

half brained and lil brained

[worldly ice]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/disable-no-bed-message.467865/ found this thread, it includes some packet manipulation

if you wanna go that route

[near furnace]

he tried setting the player's bed respawn location as of respawn location

and i used that too and i faced problems like if you remove the setspawn, it will still send you to that spawn location even though its not there

[worldly ice]

im more talking about the beginning of the thread

[near furnace]

alr im really not gonna go that route, ive been working on this for hours lets just move on haha

[worldly ice]

intercepting a game event packet

if you really really need to

[near furnace]

thats advanced level stuff

as i said, im half brained lmao

[worldly ice]

then what potato said would probably be easiest

setting the bed spawn for 1 tick so you never get the message

[near furnace]

wai wai so set the players bed spawn location but only for a moment

so it wont get saved in the nbt data either

[worldly ice]

yes

i mean if it works it works

me trying to justify my thousands of lines of spaghetti code:

it should

i mean unless the bed spawn location is obstructed

then i think you'd also get the message

yeah..

im sure it'll be fine

huh now im curious as to how the server knows your bed was destroyed

right exactly

so then setting the bed spawnpoint wouldn't work?

but they've tried that before and im assuming they didn't get the message

yeah this makes no sense to me

i love mojank code

[sweet pike]

how on earth do i use setTeleportDuration to smoothly move a display entity from one location to another?

for context, im trying to spawn a display entity in the middle of an open shulker, and move it towards the player's eye-location. nothing i do ends up as a smooth movement, but rather just a single teleport:

ItemDisplay itemDisplay = shulkerBox.getWorld().spawn(shulkerBox.getBlock().getLocation().clone().add(.5, .5, .5), ItemDisplay.class);
            itemDisplay.setItemStack(new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND));
            itemDisplay.setTeleportDuration(59);
            itemDisplay.teleport(player.getEyeLocation());

[worldly ice]

do you have to tp? or could you just use translate

[sweet pike]

wdym

[worldly ice]

you can change the translation of an item display

and change its like smoothing

i forgor word

interpolation

there we go

[sweet pike]

so what do i use that in conjunction with?

[worldly ice]

change interpolation and translation of the display

iirc translation has to be set a tick later

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Display.html#setInterpolationDuration(int)

[sweet pike]

let me try this with my current code

[worldly ice]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Display.html#getTransformation()

[sweet pike]

then i'll try interpolation + translation

[worldly ice]

oh yeah was gonna also recommend that

but generally you should be using translations on display entities rather than tping them

[sweet pike]

yeah, even this approach doesn't work.

ItemDisplay itemDisplay = shulkerBox.getWorld().spawn(shulkerBox.getBlock().getLocation().clone().add(.5, .5, .5), ItemDisplay.class);
            itemDisplay.setItemStack(new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND));
            itemDisplay.setTeleportDuration(59);
            new BukkitRunnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    itemDisplay.teleport(player.getEyeLocation());
                }
            }.runTaskLater(this, 1L);```

[sweet pike]

just confused how setTeleportDuration is supposed to work

let me try your suggestion now

[worldly ice]

oh i think i know why

when creating entities like that all changes are made a tick after they spawn

meaning even with the runnable you're still changing its tp duration and its location during the same tick

[crude coyote]

would here be the place to look for a developer to hire?

[worldly ice]

?services

[undone axle]

If you wish to request or offer development/art/building/administration services, please do so at https://www.spigotmc.org/forums/services-recruitment-v2.54/

[crude coyote]

ohh tyty

[worldly ice]

you should use the method with the consumer to have changes be made before its summoned

[sweet pike]

i tried that initially

but i didn't add the runnable

let me try that

[sweet pike]

do you mean something like this?

ItemDisplay itemDisplay = shulkerBox.getWorld().spawn(shulkerBox.getBlock().getLocation().clone().add(.5, .5, .5), ItemDisplay.class, spawnedDisplay -> {
                spawnedDisplay.setItemStack(new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND));
                spawnedDisplay.setInterpolationDuration(50);

                new BukkitRunnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        spawnedDisplay.teleport(player.getEyeLocation());
                    }
                }.runTaskLater(this, 1L);
            });```

[worldly ice]

yeah

in theory that should work

[sweet pike]

ah wait

[sweet pike]

there we go

perfect! thank you so much

[worldly ice]

np

[sweet pike]

do you know why this upper limit exists?

[worldly ice]

not sure, probably a mojang limitation?

although i have found instances where spigot's api causes more limitations than mojang

[near furnace]

really? darn you a genius, you and datasianboi

[sweet pike]

my fair guess would be something to prevent too many intervals but interpolation doesn't seem to have this upperbbound

[worldly ice]

yeah i was about to say

if you really need a longer duration then id just do multiple tps (or just use translations wink wink)

[near furnace]

datasianboi thanks so much for helping me, i tried asking for help in the paper server and as much as i got mad at them for telling me to go learn java instead of helping me with this simple spigot-api related code problem, i also think to myself... im half brained i really should learn java

[worldly ice]

yeah np

spigot community > paper community

imposter syndrome really hitting you hard

[near furnace]

idk why they tell me to go learn java even if its not that java related

like asking should i use if(isBedSpawn) return; or if(p.getBedSpawnLocation == null). And they say go learn java instead of saying use isBedSpawn

[worldly ice]

dang yeah that's barely java related

and even then that's more of a stylistic choice imo

[near furnace]

exactly haha

but i get it, sometimes i do ask random stupid questions because i do not know java, like i once asked what is a stacktrace and the gentleman just said "learn java"

another gentleman explained what it is

okay sure

[worldly ice]

i mean there's a difference between someone who is willing to learn more about java and someone who wants to quickly put something together without putting any effort into it

[near furnace]

i might have to go in a while though, ill start implementing the method now

[worldly ice]

its mostly the latter that people have problems with

[dawn flower]

what happens if you Integer.parseInt a double string

[worldly ice]

numberformatexception?

[dawn flower]

ok

[worldly ice]

idk dont quote me on that

[dawn flower]

hm

test time

[near furnace]

im willing to learn java, im weird and half brained thats why i shuffle between spigot tutorials and java tutorials. I started java tutorials first and learnt the basics then i started spigot tutorials and im gonna go back to java to learn the more nitty gritty

[worldly ice]

yeah im saying you're more of the type who is willing to put in the effort

so real

actually i never really "learned" java

[dawn flower]

i just do alot of projects to "learn"

[worldly ice]

yeah, i'm a self taught programmer 😎

that was so cringe

im in aura debt

lost so much from that

i made the mistake of learning modded first before plugins

[dawn flower]

all my java projects

[worldly ice]

and 1.8 modded too

it was rough

[dawn flower]

only 2 aren't abandoned lmfao

[near furnace]

woah, i guess people expects me to learn java fully and become a PhD holder on it and only then i can learn spigot haha

[worldly ice]

my "Other" folder in my java projects folder is so filled with crap and abandoned projects

[quaint mantle]

Proceeds to make unscalable code with static abuse

[dawn flower]

i have like at least 60 projects overall (including other languages and deleted projects)

[rigid steeple]

so im trying to make a server basicly from scratch and i have been working on it with gpt for the past week. and i was thinkning about letting my buddy make a smp server also. but like im not sure whats the newest best bungee cord type plugin for that but i think i need to understand what i should do in the future. so in the future should i just use something like velocity to connect everything or what ever is like that but good. and just make a smp server. and then a skyblock server. and then a lobby server? cause in the future im going to be buying the servers and running it through something like shockbyte. but have everything linked... im not sure how to go about doing these things lol. i just want to get a solid game plan down and figure things out in the future. cause when things are all like done with bungee and stuff like that doesnt there plugin folders only work when they are in that server?

[dawn flower]

dear lord

[worldly ice]

first half of the first sentence and im already scared

[worldly ice]

:pepehands:

[rigid steeple]

if someone needs more info on what im trying to do lmk lmfao

[worldly ice]

oh jeez i didn't even read the with chatgpt part

it keeps getting worse

[dawn flower]

are you asking what proxy software to use

[worldly ice]

wait do you mean like server protocol or server as in you just have a spigot server with no other plugins

or ig in your case a bungee network

[dawn flower]

pls don't write another essay

simplify it

[worldly ice]

we gotta have the tldr

what

brainrot was instantly deleted

[dawn flower]

what does tldr stand for

[worldly ice]

too long didnt read

[dawn flower]

why is he still typing

[worldly ice]

its over

[dawn flower]

chatgpt

[rigid steeple]

right now i have one single spigot server. and ive made a plugin that makes people spawn on a "Lobby" world and they can do a /is create command and it makes a world based off a template and i have teams set up and shit like that. but i was going to add a smp game mode so it isnt just skyblock and i realized all the gamemodes will share plugins cause of how it is setup

[worldly ice]

ok that wasn't even that much shorter

do better chatgpt 😠

[dawn flower]

but it has puncutation

[quaint mantle]

Go to #help-server

[worldly ice]

you do bring up a fair point

[near furnace]

@blissful crow

if (worldName != null) {
                Location spawnLocation = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld(worldName), x, y, z, yaw, pitch);
                e.setRespawnLocation(spawnLocation);
                
                Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(plugin, () -> {
                    p.setBedSpawnLocation(spawnLocation, true);

                    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(plugin, () -> {
                        //cancelling the event here after two ticks?
                    }, 2L);

                });

                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "Teleporting you to spawn... You do not have a home bed set");
            }```


I know im half brained but is this how you do itt?

[worldly ice]

remove the first task

you want the bed spawn location to be set before you actually respawn

[quaint mantle]

Its impossible to cancel the event after tick

[worldly ice]

and then just change the timeout from 2 to 1

oh yeah instead of cancelling just set the bed spawn location back to null

dang

beat me to it

fr

[near furnace]

okie

if (worldName != null) {
                Location spawnLocation = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld(worldName), x, y, z, yaw, pitch);
                e.setRespawnLocation(spawnLocation);
                p.setBedSpawnLocation(spawnLocation, true);

                Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(plugin, () -> {
                    //cancelling the event here after two ticks?
                    p.setBedSpawnLocation(null);
                }, 2L);

                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "Teleporting you to spawn... You do not have a home bed set");
            }```

[worldly ice]

looks good

[near furnace]

whats lgtm

[worldly ice]

i would try changing the timeout to 1 tick and seeing if that works

yeah

[near furnace]

ok

[worldly ice]

dang you were not joking with the hivemind comment

[near furnace]

owhh i dont really know all these internet idioms or abbreviation lul

[worldly ice]

https://tenor.com/view/gloop-gloop-hivemind-mentak-pl-mentak-pp-gloop-server-gif-8756746650247013868

what is gloop

[near furnace]

these bukkit schedulers are really confusing

i never really used them, kind of my first time hehe

[worldly ice]

they're really useful

especially for stuff like this

[near furnace]

do i still set the event's respawn point?

[sterile breach]

hi, is there a way to get all blocks id list into spigot? (not item id, block id) getId is deprecarted

[near furnace]

haha, it cancels itself anyways

[worldly ice]

?xy probably?

[undone axle]

https://xyproblem.info/

[sterile breach]

not really

that item id

[quaint mantle]

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/reflect/special/enumMembers.html

[sterile breach]

to identifie blocks the client use block id, its hardcoded in minecraft client and I need it to send packets abouts blocs

[quaint mantle]

Material.class.getEnumConstants() then iterate. Push into list if material is block

[near furnace]

do you guys use java beautifier? i do and it helps a lot defeating pyramid codes

[worldly ice]

how are you sending packets?

[sterile breach]

packet events

[worldly ice]

spigot has a sendblock method in its api pretty sure

[sterile breach]

why spigot deprecated getId method?

[worldly ice]

because its legacy

[quaint mantle]

Paper api?

[sterile breach]

I am sending multplie send block

[sterile breach]

no, spigot

[dawn flower]

what is the default Player#getMaximumAir?

[worldly ice]

so send multiple block changes?

not sure why you arent be able to use api to solve this

[sterile breach]

no Im just loking for a way to get Id from material

[worldly ice]

but im saying you might not even need a block id

[worldly ice]

?tas ig?

[undone axle]

https://tryitands.ee/

[worldly ice]

maybe wiki has something about it

[dawn flower]

it's 300

[worldly ice]

good to know

[sterile breach]

https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Update_Section_Blocks
it speak about Id

[worldly ice]

using nms might be easier for this?

not sure how packetevents works ive never used it

but id assume they have some sort of way of converting a Material to an id

idk what a block state id is

[sterile breach]

it's simple with Material.getId but it has been deprecated without rasion but I can still use it or I make my own method, how to delete deprectation warnning? @supresswarning?

[worldly ice]

yeah

[sterile breach]

what should I put in args?
@SuppressWarnings(here)

[worldly ice]

deprecation or something?

[sterile breach]

I want to delete deprecation

[worldly ice]

if you're using intellij you can automatically suppress it

it'll auto-generate the annotation

[sterile breach]

ah good, how to do it?

[worldly ice]

if you hover over it you should just be able to suppress it

like in the quick fixes

[blazing ocean]

without reason
doesn't support any modern blocks
checks out

it only supports blocks with legacy ids

[worldly ice]

i cant give very good instructions dont have ij open rn

[worldly ice]

well thats a problem

again, packetevents should have something builtin that turns materials into their ids

or just use nms

[sterile breach]

because packets blocks expect an id, they must all exist for all blocks somewhere no?

[blazing ocean]

something something registries

[worldly ice]

in the registry (im pretty sure)

yeah

[sterile breach]

I'm trying not to use it in this project

[sterile breach]

its accessible using reflection?

[worldly ice]

very annoyingly yeah

[blazing ocean]

🤷 you could also just add nms and use it directly

[worldly ice]

^^

you'd have to navigate through obfuscated code

which'll make it even more of a hassle

[sterile breach]

yes I can

[blazing ocean]

i can look into how PE does it rq, haven't worked with it in a good while

[sterile breach]

whats PE?

[hybrid turret]

I‘m back at it again with my data handling stuff.
The following paste contains my BanListener and my PlayerDataListener.

Now the console tells me that data is null (dont have the log rn :( )

I already set the EventPriorities…. Does it even make sense to load the PlayerData if the Player is banned? Should I have a List of playerUUIDs on my serverdata instead, which is loaded upon enabling the plugin?

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

[drowsy helm]

packet events

[alpine urchin]

I didn't read all context, perhaps this class might be useful to you @sterile breach : https://packetevents.github.io/spigot/io/github/retrooper/packetevents/util/SpigotConversionUtil.html#fromBukkitMaterialData(org.bukkit.material.MaterialData)

For converting types from Bukkit to PacketEvents and vice versa

There's MaterialData if you want legacy support, and BlockData offered for modern versions

[worldly ice]

iirc monitor fires last, no?

[blazing ocean]

https://github.com/retrooper/packetevents/tree/2.0/api%2Fsrc%2Fmain%2Fjava%2Fcom%2Fgithub%2Fretrooper%2Fpacketevents%2Fprotocol%2Fworld

[hybrid turret]

LAST?? It has the highest priority iirc

[sterile breach]

this is exactly what I was looking for thank you 👍

[worldly ice]

it has the highest priority, meaning it has the final say as to whether, for example, an event is cancelled

[alpine urchin]

Yes, that's how the priority system works @hybrid turret

[worldly ice]

im pretty sure

[drowsy helm]

last event handler has last say over the event

[hybrid turret]

Oh wait what

[alpine urchin]

But docs say don't use MONITOR to modify the state

use HIGHEST

[worldly ice]

yeah yeah

[hybrid turret]

OHHHH

[alpine urchin]

MONITOR is used to see the result of the event.

[hybrid turret]

I seeee

So the one i want to have fire first should be LOWEST?

[drowsy helm]

yep

[hybrid turret]

Alright thank youuu

[alpine urchin]

Yep, but that means other plugins likely can easily modify your result.

or you can just be at NORMAL if none of this matters

[hybrid turret]

Oh

Hmm

I mean it would be kinda stupid if someone would use another plugin that includes eg a ban system in it if mine already has it, no?

[drowsy helm]

yeah thats sorta the server owners problem atp

[hybrid turret]

And well if it only matters for the result it only matters for the BanListener, no?

Bc in the other event i only load data

And the result is set by the banlistener

So i could leave the banlistener on highest and put the playerdatalistener on lowest

This helps a lot, ty

When I change a skin using the GameProfile (or similar ways like the integrated PlayerProfile), do I see the skin myself?

[dawn flower]

https://paste.md-5.net/otizirifuw.cs
so uh, i got this code and i have this thing called "target". for example if you want to send a message then the "target" would be a player
but this creates an issue because targets might require a target
example: if the target is the player's held item

how would i make parseTarget recursive?
so if the target was {@event-player} @held-item it would parse event-player first then parse @held-item with the target of the parsed event-player

god why am i so bad at explaining

[silver eagle]

Hi, I'm confused by the PlayerInteractEvent spec right now.
There is a function where a person whose GameMode is Adventure changes the text of the standing signboard when he or she hits the signboard while sneaking.
When I run this, PlayerInteractEvent is called twice for some reason.
In the non-sneak state and other GameModes, it is called only once.
Is this a bug? Is it possible to make it so that it is called only once in the case of specifications?

The text was created using translation software, so please ask again if you have any questions.

[pseudo hazel]

?interact

hmm

idk the command, but

the interact event is fired once per hand

so you just have to check the hand and return if its the offhand for example

?interactevent

[undone axle]

The PlayerInteractEvent may be called once per hand. If you only want code to be executed once, you can check the result of https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInteractEvent.html#getHand(), then decide functionality.

For example, only executing code if the main hand was used:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
    if (event.getHand() != EquipmentSlot.HAND) { // * if the hand used is NOT the main hand:
        return; // do not progress past this point  |
    }
    // provide functionality
}

[pseudo hazel]

ah there it is

[silver eagle]

When I just checked with those words, it seems that the event call has occurred three times.
The contents of event.getHand() are HAND, HAND, OFF_HAND
It seems that the events occur in this order.
