imma test this out

[grim hound]

What if I wanna support 1.8+?

[chrome beacon]

There are 3rd party libs that can do that for you

let me find one

[hybrid spoke]

useful, thanks!

[grim hound]

Like instead of hibernate?

[chrome beacon]

No instead of the libraries section of the plugin yml

[grim hound]

Ah okay

[chrome beacon]

https://github.com/AlessioDP/libby

[grim hound]

Yo that seems sick

Will it download it each time tho?

[chrome beacon]

should be cached

iirc

can check

Yeah looks like it

[proper cobalt]

How do I get the entity that an entity is mounted onto

I have an Interaction as a passenger of an ItemDisplay and I want to check if the Interaction is mounted on the ItemDisplay

[chrome beacon]

getVehicle should work

[proper cobalt]

returning null but its 100% mounted

[chrome beacon]

hm

[pure dagger]

if i make permissions in 2 different plugins, but with the same name, for example name of the permission is "plugin.command.ban", is it treated as the same premission?

[chrome beacon]

Sounds like a bad idea

but probably

Try it and see ig

[pure dagger]

thats not an idea im just curious

imma test it anyway

so there should never be 2 plugins with the same name in plugin.yml right?

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

That results in a warning

NO PROBLEM

[river oracle]

For some reason when I'm writing JSON back to a config file the gt and lt symbols < and > get encoded to unicode? \u003c and \u003e

I'm not really doing anything extrordinary to save?

           val content = saveContent(key)
            if (content.isJsonNull || (content.isJsonObject && content.asJsonObject.isEmpty)) {
                plugin.logger.warning("Unable to save empty ${serializable.key}.json is this intended?")
                return
            }

            val savePath = saveDirectory.resolve("${serializable.key}.json")
            savePath.writeText(jsonHelper.gson.toJson(content), Charsets.UTF_8)```

[chrome beacon]

Sounds like they're getting escaped

Try disableHtmlEscaping on your gson instance

[river oracle]

alright

oh that's probably it

the struggle of minimessage like

[eternal night]

[river oracle]

hi pepe

@chrome beacon that was it thank you much

🙏

[chrome beacon]

nice :)

[slender elbow]

gson 😡 🤬 💢

[glossy laurel]

people

how do I save itemstack to sql

and then retrieve the itemstack in question back from it

[river oracle]

imho you should use NMS

get the bytes from NBT

make sure you use DFU when loading them!

[glossy laurel]

okay

now in english?

[chrome beacon]

NMS isn't required to convert items to bytes

You can use the bukkit object output stream

[eternal night]

(no)

[river oracle]

BOOS is naive

very naive

[eternal night]

some would even call it dumb

[river oracle]

I think that's way to nice personally

[chrome beacon]

never used it myself 🤷‍♂️

[river oracle]

if only someone made a Byte serialization API that's sitting in PR right now

🙏

[eternal night]

iirc the PR is

-org.spigotmc.spigot-api
+io.papermc.paper

[river oracle]

kekw

[river oracle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/craftbukkit/browse/src/main/java/org/bukkit/craftbukkit/util/CraftMagicNumbers.java?at=b7e8eb30f6f518e97e683653dd2b0876e2857826#380,389

those methods afaik are decently well implemented

ofc things get tricky and annoying with AIR but we'll just ignore that 👍

if you serialize AIR outside of containers anyways you're a monster

[glossy laurel]

so uhm

I serialize air

😃

now what

null?

[river oracle]

uhm well NMS doesn't have null item stacks

[glossy laurel]

what that

[river oracle]

its all like empty

its the code to serialize item stacks to bytes

[glossy laurel]

who nms

[glossy laurel]

this nms?

[river oracle]

yes

that's how you serialize ItemStacks to bytes

[glossy laurel]

;-;

[river oracle]

you'll want to do extra steps though since you have a container

you can probably put stuff in a TagList

[glossy laurel]

what?!

[river oracle]

or you could use BukkitObjectOutputStream which is like like 3 or 4 times less storage efficent

probably more than that tbh

benefits no NMS

cons literally everything else

[worldly ingot]

Well, okay, (a) it's not NMS, it's OBC. (b) It's exposed (albeit unsafe) API, so you can access it through Bukkit.getUnsafe()

[river oracle]

yes it is

that's a link to my PR

Bukkit exposes no such methods yet

[worldly ingot]

Oh, weird. Stash gives zero indication of that

Just a commit hash, but that could be on master for all I know lol

[river oracle]

yeah I'm surprised it only gives commit hash 🤷‍♂️

and doesn't even link to my fork

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/bukkit/pull-requests/1047/overview

[river oracle]

        val size = configuration.loot.size() / 9 + 1
        return if (size - 1 % 9 == 0) size - 1 else size

Am I missing something why does intellij think size -1 will always be zero 👀

[slender elbow]

remainder takes precedence

[river oracle]

ah

[slender elbow]

ROYGBV or something

[river oracle]

I wasn't sure where remainder was in the operation priority

that makes sense tho

[slender elbow]

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/grammar.html#expressions

it's on the same level as division because it's basically the same operation

[river oracle]

makes sense 🤦‍♂️ its always the stupid stuff

[robust jolt]

Hi, i'm spawning this item bug I don't get the colors, anyone know how to fix? Thanks

[hybrid spoke]

yes, & is not a natural colorcode

either use § or translate & with https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/ChatColor.html#translateAlternateColorCodes(char,java.lang.String)

[cunning bane]

Hey can someone maybe help me how to add custom fonts?

[robust jolt]

Ok, thanks. Another question. There is any way for detect when it's a crafting inv or the player inv? Because when i try to use InventoryClickEvent and do Economy.instance.getLogger().info(e.getInventory().getType().toString()); and click an item in my inv i get CRAFTING

[hybrid spoke]

resourcepacks 🤔

[cunning bane]

yes i did that

i put the picture in resource pack

still doesn't work either

[hybrid spoke]

CRAFTING is always the player inventory

[hybrid spoke]

tbh no idea, not an resource packs expert

[zenith bobcat]

Hey I am searching for a way to change the Playername with nms in the version 1.20.6 but all recommended Packets doesn´t seem to work. Does anyone know how to tackle this problem?

[restive mango]

If a rogue process takes my SQL database connection, while I have it in auto-commit disabled mode and am in the process for executing statements, and it executes a statement, will the statements I had already executed by the time it executes the statement also be executed?

[hybrid spoke]

If you have your SQL database connection in auto-commit disabled mode and are executing statements, those statements will not be committed to the database until you explicitly call a COMMIT command. In this mode, any changes made by the statements you've executed are part of the current transaction, but they are not yet permanent.

Now, if a rogue process somehow gains access to the same connection and executes a statement, this introduces several potential issues:

Transaction Interference: If the rogue process executes a statement on the same connection, it could potentially interfere with your current transaction. This means the rogue process's statement might be executed in the context of your uncommitted transaction.

Impact on Your Statements: The statements you've already executed are still part of the same uncommitted transaction. If the rogue process's statement completes successfully, your previously executed statements are still in the transaction but will not be visible to others unless a COMMIT happens.

Commit or Rollback: If you subsequently issue a COMMIT, both your statements and the rogue process’s statement will be committed together. If you issue a ROLLBACK, both your and the rogue process's statements will be undone, as the transaction is treated as a whole.

In summary:

Your statements will not be immediately executed or visible to others until a COMMIT occurs.
The rogue process could interfere with the current transaction, and its statement will either be committed or rolled back with your uncommitted changes, depending on what happens with the transaction.
If the rogue process has executed statements before you commit or roll back, those changes will be tied to the fate of the transaction as a whole.

guys im tryna create a gui with Inventory framework by stvanfschie
I just wanna add a bunch of items thats it, if theres more than the inventory can hold then page it

How can i do this

[hybrid spoke]

can you link the framework?

[proper cobalt]

https://github.com/stefvanschie/IF

[hybrid spoke]

https://github.com/stefvanschie/IF/wiki/Paginated-Pane looks like this

just for the entire inventory

[restive mango]

My confusion is also

[hybrid spoke]

so that your GUI just persists of a really big PaginatedPane

[restive mango]

Will the rogue process’s statements become part of the uncommitted transaction

[hybrid spoke]

wait let me ask my best friend

short answer: yes

long answer:
Yes, if the rogue process somehow gains access to your database connection while you're in the middle of an uncommitted transaction (with auto-commit disabled), its statements will become part of that same uncommitted transaction.

Here’s why:

Single Transaction Context: When auto-commit is disabled, every statement executed on the connection becomes part of a single transaction, until you explicitly commit or roll back that transaction. Since the rogue process is using the same connection, its statements are executed within the same transactional context.

No Isolation Between Statements on the Same Connection: SQL transactions work on the connection level. As long as the connection is active and the transaction is not committed or rolled back, any statements executed on that connection—whether by your process or the rogue process—will be added to the same uncommitted transaction.

Outcome Depends on COMMIT or ROLLBACK:

If you (or the rogue process) issue a COMMIT, all changes made by both your statements and the rogue process’s statements will be saved to the database.
If you (or the rogue process) issue a ROLLBACK, all changes made by both your statements and the rogue process’s statements will be undone.
Therefore, the rogue process’s statements will indeed become part of your uncommitted transaction, and their fate will be tied to whether the transaction is committed or rolled back.

[proper cobalt]

I'm so confused

Why is x and y a parameter

What even is a pane

[hybrid spoke]

the location of the pane inside the GUI

[hybrid spoke]

a section

[proper cobalt]

How do I make the main like gui just the page with all the items

[hybrid spoke]

look up the wiki, there is everything explained

[proper cobalt]

ive been looking

[hybrid spoke]

you create a GUI, give it a PaginatedPane which covers the entire inventory, put your items in there

[restive mango]

How does making the transaction exclusive actually disable other processes from modifying the transaction?

[hybrid spoke]

cant you just ask that GPT yourself 🤔

[proper cobalt]

Ok whats the method to add an item to a pane

[restive mango]

Like if you have access to the connection object, wouldn’t any executed statement become part of the same set of changes regardless of whether the transaction is exclusive or not?

[restive mango]

Aye but could you actually just ask this last one and then I’ll ask it myself for any future ones

Sry I’m on my phone

[hybrid spoke]

tf you mean you are on your phone

you are typing in lightning speed

[restive mango]

???

I type quickly idk

[hybrid spoke]

In database systems, exclusive transactions (or exclusive locks) are a mechanism to ensure that only one process can access or modify certain data within a transaction at a time. When a transaction is made exclusive, it effectively locks resources (like rows, tables, or even the entire database, depending on the isolation level and lock type) in a way that prevents other processes from accessing or modifying them until the transaction is completed (committed or rolled back).

[restive mango]

I would post a picture but can’t

https://github.com/stefvanschie/IF/wiki/Panes

[proper cobalt]

literally does not tell u how to add an item to a pane

[hybrid spoke]

2 secs after looking at the resource i found out that there is an addItem method

and a populateWithItemStacks method

[proper cobalt]

bro theres only addPane and addPage

[hybrid spoke]

populate thing is there so thx

yeah that worked thanks unc

[slate siren]

.

I wrote a simple little thing to get the player name color from the player prefix with Vault

But this is not possible when the player is offline.

For example, there is a list of players, the colors are drawn correctly when online, but this does not happen when offline.

[opaque cove]

Hi I have a question 😄 How can i get the Death Location and send it to the player who died?
My code so far

public class OnDeathListener implements Listener {
@EventHandler
public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
e.getPlayer().getLocation();
e.getPlayer().sendMessage("");
}
}

[fallow violet]

You can get the x coordinate for example with Location#getBlockX(). Also for all other axis

[opaque cove]

and how do i send it to the player then? 😄

[fallow violet]

with ```java
Location location = e.getLocation();
Player player = e.getPlayer();
player.sendMessage("X: " + location.getBlockX() + " Y: " + location.getBlockY() + " Z: " + location.getBlockZ());

[opaque cove]

it tells me that it cannot resolve Location and Player 😄

ahh now it should work

[fallow violet]

Location#getBlockX() just means the method from Location. In your case you have to use your variable with location.getBlockX()

[opaque cove]

What? It says Cannot resolve method 'getLocation' in 'PlayerDeathEvent'

[fallow violet]

Could you send your current code please?

[opaque cove]

public class OnDeathListener implements Listener {
@EventHandler
public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
Location location = e.getLocation();
Player player = e.getPlayer();
player.sendMessage("X: " + location.getBlockX() + " Y: " + location.getBlockY() + " Z: " + location.getBlockZ());
}
}

[fallow violet]

aah my bad

[opaque cove]

maybe e.getPLayer.getlocation

[fallow violet]

There is no PlayerDeathEvent#getLocation() but Player#getLocation() so write this instead please:

Player player = e.getPlayer();
Location location = player.getLocation();

[opaque cove]

Thank u ❤️

[fallow violet]

Your welcome

[opaque cove]

or Danke dir 😄

[fallow violet]

hahahaha

[eternal skiff]

How can i import craftplayer with different version in one plugin to make plugin compability with different versions and use craftplayer?

[blazing ocean]

Reflection or modules

[opaque cove]

how can i use this = with slash like 0 is not 1? Intellij doesnt accept this symbol

Like = but in reverse

[young knoll]

Not equal?

!=

[opaque cove]

Yep thanks xD ❤️

[pure dagger]

i need to do a list of ranks, and every rank has list of players - in config, how do i do it? do i do list of lists or like this?

im new to using configs so i have no idea

[opaque cove]

is there a way to highlight the block through the world where a player dies to find his stuff easier? my code by far:

public class OnDeathListener implements Listener {
@EventHandler
public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
Player player = e.getPlayer();
Location location = player.getLocation();
player.sendMessage("X: " + location.getBlockX() + " Y: " + location.getBlockY() + " Z: " + location.getBlockZ());
}
}

[pseudo hazel]

yeah this seems fine

I would not do a list of lists

assuming you have a set amount of ranks

[pure dagger]

umm.. and how do i get these indented ranks? (rank, rank2)

[pure dagger]

oh..

i dont

[pseudo hazel]

or well

you dont need it

[blazing ocean]

?codeblock in the future please

[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() {

    }
}```

[pure dagger]

what do i not need

[pseudo hazel]

you can just use getList("ranks.rank1")

[pure dagger]

i dont know all the ranks that are gonna be in "ranks"

[pseudo hazel]

as long as you know the names the ranks should be you can put it in there

well you can get all the keys under ranks

[pure dagger]

yeah thats the problem

yeah, how

[opaque cove]

how can i do his?

[pseudo hazel]

getSection("ranks").getKeys(false)

[pure dagger]

whats false

[pseudo hazel]

deep

[blazing ocean]

what

[pseudo hazel]

if you want to go deeper when looking for keys

[pure dagger]

he asking about
this

i guess

[opaque cove]

how can i put this code into this black box

[blazing ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/inception-deeper-go-deeper-we-need-to-go-deeper-leonardo-di-caprio-gif-16756828

´´´java hi´´´

[pseudo hazel]

backticks

[blazing ocean]

Need to be backticks

[pseudo hazel]

for me its the key below esc

[opaque cove]

how do i type those?

ah i got it xD

[pure dagger]

do the enters

[blazing ocean]

On a german keyboard, next to Backspace

shift with that one

[pure dagger]

i mean new lines

add them

as i did

[pseudo hazel]

yeah that key is like somewhere else on every different keyboards

[blazing ocean]

What kinda keyboard layout do you dutchies use lmao

[opaque cove]

okay so how do i get the death position highlighted? my code by far

public class OnDeathListener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
        Player player = e.getPlayer();
        Location location = player.getLocation();
        player.sendMessage("X: " + location.getBlockX() + " Y: " + location.getBlockY() + " Z: " + location.getBlockZ());
    }
}

[pseudo hazel]

qwerty

[blazing ocean]

ew

qwertz fte

[opaque cove]

qwertz

[blazing ocean]

ftw

[pure dagger]

you didny type java probably

[chrome beacon]

qwerty

[pseudo hazel]

lmao

cant even type on your keyboard

[chrome beacon]

Also I have the § key easily accessible

[pseudo hazel]

yeah I dont

thats the only thing I hate

[pure dagger]

§

[pseudo hazel]

but im not using legacy stuff anymore so it dont matter

[blazing ocean]

based

[opaque cove]

why doesnt it turn into these colors?

[pure dagger]

i told you

you probably didnt typed java

type*

[pseudo hazel]

they did

you blind

[opaque cove]

i typed it as u can see 😄

[pure dagger]

what?

oh haha

[pseudo hazel]

but you need to put the lang on the same line as the opening ticks

[pure dagger]

but you did it too low

[pseudo hazel]

and then hit enter

[pure dagger]

look at this

[pseudo hazel]

then it should color for you befor you hit send already

yeah you got it

[pure dagger]

bravo yayaayyay

[pseudo hazel]

discord magician

[opaque cove]

i got it now 😄 after java shouldnt be a space

[pure dagger]

public class OnDeathListener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
        Player player = e.getPlayer();
        Location location = player.getLocation();
        player.sendMessage("X: " + location.getBlockX() + " Y: " + location.getBlockY() + " Z: " + location.getBlockZ());
    }
}

[opaque cove]

so can u help me? 😄 how can i get the death position highlighted?

[pure dagger]

what does highlighted mean?

[opaque cove]

like if u get hit by a spectral arrow veryone can see u through blocks

[pure dagger]

@pseudo hazel why not list of lists? (config file)

[pure dagger]

oh... you apply effect

glowing

thats what u mean?

[opaque cove]

thats what i want to do with the block un which u died

[pseudo hazel]

well you can I guess

[pure dagger]

oh.. apply effect to a block ?

[pseudo hazel]

esp if you dont know the ranks you will have a list of lists might be nice

but the parsing is just a little bit more annoying

[pure dagger]

so.. which one would you choose

[pseudo hazel]

well idk what you are making

[young knoll]

Spawn a block display and make that glow

[pseudo hazel]

whats the purpose of this config

[opaque cove]

and how do i do this?

[pure dagger]

umm ill choose list

[pseudo hazel]

the goal is to make it as clear as possible for the one editing it later

[pure dagger]

no one is gonna be editing it later probably

[pseudo hazel]

then how do you get stuff in it

[pure dagger]

oh

you mean

okay nevermind

[pseudo hazel]

well

I mean you have this config to be .. configurable right?

[pure dagger]

i also have another question, how to store players in config becasue... um player nickname can change and uuid is not good for the one editing config

[pure dagger]

yes

i understand what you ment now

[pseudo hazel]

so you should design starting with that in mind

[pure dagger]

yes

[pseudo hazel]

I mean this is a tough question

[pure dagger]

oh

[pseudo hazel]

for the sake of having correct data always, use uuid

[pure dagger]

i mean, i could use uuid

[pseudo hazel]

but for the sane, use player names

[pure dagger]

ill maybe ask

[pseudo hazel]

but this is usually the reason why plugins like this should have configs in game

[pure dagger]

the guy that wants the plugin

[pseudo hazel]

so you arent concerned with typing in the data manually

yeah

[pure dagger]

oh yeah

[pseudo hazel]

that could be good to

[pure dagger]

i could do that

i forgot

[pseudo hazel]

asking what their actual requirements are..

that should be before your first step

[pure dagger]

ill add a command

that will be the best solution

but yeah imma ask

[opaque cove]

Does someone know how to spawn a block display and make it glow? 🙂

[pseudo hazel]

esp when working for a specific client, just ask them as soon as you have to make a decision regarding usability (reasonably)

[chrome beacon]

Have you tried using Entity#setGlowing

[opaque cove]

I dont even know how to spawn a block display so i cannot set it to glowing...

[chrome beacon]

world#spawn

world.spawn(location, BlockDisplay.class, blockDisplay -> {
  blockDisplay.setGlowing(true);
});

smth like that

wrote by hand and off memory so 🤷‍♂️

[opaque cove]

world cannot be resolved...

[chrome beacon]

well yeah

you need to give it a world

Don't just blindly copy paste

[pure dagger]

but can i get players name or something if they are not online? from the uuid

because i can make a command for adding players, but it also should display players added

or something like that

[opaque cove]

i have to defy a new world for this entity or what? i dont understand anything xD

[pseudo hazel]

im not sure

I think offline player has ways to know the name

[chrome beacon]

Do you have any experience with programming or Java?

[pseudo hazel]

but im not sure

yeah you need to implement the World class

and then add the entity to it

\s

[opaque cove]

just a very little bit but im trying to learn

and all these tutorials i found just type things but doesnt explain why

[pure dagger]

umm.. what? i do what?

[chrome beacon]

yeah don't watch youtube videos for learning Spigot

[opaque cove]

Player player = e.getPlayer();
        Location location = player.getLocation();
        player.sendMessage("X: " + location.getBlockX() + " Y: " + location.getBlockY() + " Z: " + location.getBlockZ());

[opaque cove]

and this is my code from before

[pure dagger]

oh.. you were not talking to me @pseudo hazel

[pseudo hazel]

you ask someone else, I dont know what's the best way regarding offline players, as my plugin doesn't care about offline players

[pure dagger]

okay, so thanks for help

[pseudo hazel]

or well kinda, I just use the name they joined last with

[pure dagger]

thats also an option, i could save that in config i guess?

[chrome beacon]

Use the UUID

[pseudo hazel]

but I have a minigame plugin, so I only have that info for like a few hours at most from every player

[pure dagger]

but i need also the names

[chrome beacon]

Why?

[pure dagger]

just to display them

[chrome beacon]

the server does store the last name the player had

so you can use that

[pure dagger]

oh, where

how

[chrome beacon]

try OfflinePlayer#getName

unclear if the Spigot api uses the stored value or not

[pure dagger]

okay

thans

[quaint mantle]

yo, Player.isJumping() returns when just jumped and it's on mid-air?

[chrome beacon]

That method doesn't exist in Spigot

[quaint mantle]

oh

i'm using paper maybe that's why

[chrome beacon]

You should ask Paper

[blazing ocean]

Jumping is completely client side now

[chrome beacon]

wdym now

what

[blazing ocean]

oop

then how do i check if player is mid-air

[pure dagger]

there was a method

[quaint mantle]

which metod

[chrome beacon]

Check if the player isn't on ground and not in water

Do note the on ground flag is client controlled

[quaint mantle]

player.isOnGround can be bypassed with simple hacks

[chrome beacon]

yes that's what I said

you can manually check the players hitbox against the world if you want

[quaint mantle]

ive been using ((LivingEntity) player).isOnground()

[chrome beacon]

That's the exact same thing kekw

That cast is redundant

[quaint mantle]

ok

https://bukkit.org/threads/checking-if-player-is-on-ground-or-in-air.264361/#:~:text=You can also force-cast,isOnGround())%20player.

[chrome beacon]

That's wrong and not how Java works

[quaint mantle]

idk i was js askin if that works

[warm musk]

guys how can i broadcast message with adventure api?

?

[keen charm]

Hey there

How can I get the IP address in PendingConnection?

[river oracle]

Hello, I looked in the interface provided by the API it seems there is only on method related to Addresses in the entire interface
InetSocketAddress getVirtualHost();

cheers 🍷

[warm musk]

how can i broadcast message with adventure api?

[quaint mantle]

how can i get if PlayerToggleSneakEvent is sneaking and not standing

[chrome beacon]

That's not right

[quaint mantle]

no spam

[warm musk]

sorry

[chrome beacon]

Connection#getSocketAddress

[quaint mantle]

I mean when u press shift and not release it

do i explain myself?

[chrome beacon]

PlayerToggleSneakEvent#isSneaking

use Javadocs please 🙏

[quaint mantle]

sorry i thought it was the same

that's not true

isSneaking makes true when not

[river oracle]

how would one go from Chunk coordinates and relative X and Z to a regular location would it just be

(chunkX << 4) + relativeX
(chunkZ << 4) + relativeZ

[sullen marlin]

Sounds about right

[young knoll]

Then check for the opposite

[wide vigil]

PlaceholderAPI help:

Is it possible to display (%server_online_worldnamehere%) with two different multiverses?

Ex: 72 people are in (Creative Server 1), 53 people are in (Creative Server 2)

Is it possible to add those two numbers together into one text?

Example image of 72 + 53:

[glad prawn]

why don't you ask in their discord server

[wide vigil]

papi has a discord server?

[glad prawn]

https://helpch.at/discord

[young knoll]

There’s a math expansion

That can do, well, math

Not ideal tho

[wide vigil]

how would i approach using it?

nvm some guy got me lol

in the papi dc

[young knoll]

https://codeberg.org/Andre601/Math-Expansion/wiki/Examples#addition

Codeberg looks almost identical to GitHub

Just a bit more blue

[wide vigil]

nah some guy on the helpchat discord server helped me its fine

[warm musk]

guys how can i convert legacy ampersand to minimessage

[young knoll]

Use the legacy serializer to convert it to a component

Then mini message to convert the component to a minimessage string

[warm musk]

can i do with adventure api?

i use adventure api for minimessage

[chrome beacon]

yes

He just told you how

[young knoll]

Idk if the legacy serializer is part of the base adventure api

Might be another dependency

[chrome beacon]

yeah

but I'd still call it adventure

[warm musk]

Adventure api supports legacy ampersand

[warm musk]

Component component = LegacyComponentSerializer.legacyAmpersand().deserialize(str);
return MiniMessage.miniMessage().serialize(component);

Incompatible types. Found: '[e-mail] String', required: 'net.kyori.adventure.text.Component'

[young knoll]

?ncpse

Nailed it

?nocode

[undone axle]

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

[warm musk]

i solved

my fault

MiniMessage minimsg= MiniMessage.miniMessage();
return minimsg.deserialize(minimsg.serialize(component));

function wants Component type but i return String

then it gives error

[slender elbow]

that.. doesn't do anything

[young knoll]

It’s about sending a message

To the cpu? I guess

[warm musk]

minimessage is not work

😔

[slender elbow]

I'm sure it does work

[warm musk]

public Component translateColorCodes(String str) {
        Component component = LegacyComponentSerializer.legacyAmpersand().deserialize(str);
        MiniMessage minimsg= MiniMessage.miniMessage();


        return minimsg.deserialize(minimsg.serialize(component));



    }

it works but minimessage not formatting

just legacy

i dont have clue

[slender elbow]

you can't mix both legacy and mm

[warm musk]

is it impossible?

[slender elbow]

you can't easily pull it off in three lines

[warm musk]

if you know

can you help me?

[slender elbow]

I don't

[warm musk]

a little bit

[slender elbow]

and honestly I don't care to support both at the same time lol

either one or the other

[warm musk]

i think if i can convert legacy ampersand to minimessage

i can achieve

[slender elbow]

the proper way to do that is to go through the serializers, but you can't have both formats in the same string

[young knoll]

Uhh

Hang on how tf did I handle it

[remote swallow]

private static final LegacyComponentSerializer SERIALIZER = LegacyComponentSerializer.builder().character('&')
        .hexCharacter('#').hexColors().useUnusualXRepeatedCharacterHexFormat().build();

public static String translate(String toTranslate) {
    return (ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', SERIALIZER.serialize(MiniMessage.miniMessage().deserialize(toTranslate))));
}

[chrome beacon]

I'm not sure what happened to OysterMessage

It seems to have gone missing

[slender elbow]

but they want a Component, not a String, and that is lossy

[remote swallow]

smh

no legacy for them then

[young knoll]

I mean you could probably deserialize it back to a component

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1017515898870956154.gif?size=48&name=pepe_laugh&quality=lossless

[slender elbow]

sure, still lossy

[young knoll]

Peak efficiency

Ur lossy!

[slender elbow]

true

[worldly ingot]

Tell her!

[young knoll]

Maybe if choco updated his PR

Oh wait he did, I can’t yell at him for that anymore

:/

[warm musk]

whoever needs it can use it

public static final Pattern HEX_PATTERN = Pattern.compile("&#[a-fA-F0-9]{6}");
public String legacyToMiniMessage(char Char, String str) {
        Matcher matcher = HEX_PATTERN.matcher(str);
        str = str
                .replaceAll(Char + "0", "<black>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "1", "<dark_blue>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "2", "<dark_green>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "3", "<dark_aqua>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "4", "<dark_red>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "5", "<dark_purple>")

                .replaceAll(Char + "7", "<gray>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "8", "<dark_gray>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "9", "<blue>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "a", "<green>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "b", "<aqua>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "c", "<red>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "d", "<light_purple>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "e", "<yellow>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "f", "<white>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "n", "<u>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "m", "<st>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "k", "<obf>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "o", "<i>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "l", "<b>")
                .replaceAll(Char + "r", "<r>")
                .replaceAll(HEX_PATTERN.toString(), "<#$1>");

        return str;
    }

[slender elbow]

that is not correct

[warm musk]

i use

it works perfect

[slender elbow]

and it's wrong

[warm musk]

why

maybe regex is wrong

i dont test regex

[slender elbow]

§o§4 is not the same as <whatever><red>

and §r doesn't act like <reset> either

[warm musk]

what do you recommend for this code

[slender elbow]

just don't support both, or support them separately but not together

[slender elbow]

what about that?

it does not have the same effect in minimessage as it does in legacy formatting

[warm musk]

.

[slender elbow]

correct, it does not

they behave differently

[warm musk]

what they behave differently

[worldly ingot]

[slender elbow]

they just do different things due to how components work, <reset> means "close all open tags in the current deserialization context"

idk why you're making this so hard and wrong for yourself

[warm musk]

so

&r like <white>

?

in minimessage

[slender elbow]

and <!italic> and <!bold> and .....

[warm musk]

what the hell

[slender elbow]

what

I'm telling you, they are completely different formats

you are making this difficult for no reason

just support one or the other but not both in the same string

[warm musk]

for write easier

it does not have any way

i will put serializer select option to config.yml

[sturdy sand]

hey bro

How do I upload my plugin to spigotmc?

[warm musk]

idk

[sturdy sand]

thanks

[viscid carbon]

x

[young knoll]

I agree

[warm musk]

guys how can i do multiple return types in java?

[young knoll]

Return an object that holds multiple things

Good spot for a record

[sturdy sand]

sorry 🥲 one question

how edit the resource?

[warm musk]

i dont know

i dont even upload resource to spigot

[sturdy sand]

a

ok thy

[warm musk]

your welcome

[sturdy sand]

hey sorry

how edit the resource?

or

How to change the file?

@vagrant stratus sorry

[river oracle]

Just upload and update

[viscid carbon]

Anyone know why?

[worldly ingot]

Strings are not mutable. Its mutating methods return a new string

You need to re-assign your s variable, so just s = s.replace(...) would work

[viscid carbon]

Alright, brain being stupid i guess because i knew that 🤷‍♂️ Thank you @worldly ingot

[timid berry]

im getting the error that plugin.yml is not found

do i just make it here

?

JAR will be empty - no content was marked for inclusion!

yikes my jar is empty

[quaint mantle]

i made dat but when is in air and sneak is always false

[keen charm]

This method returns the host the player is trying to connect to

[glossy laurel]

How do I clear all arrows that are attatchsed to the player? Cuz seems like they arent entities

[quaint mantle]

realised, lol

[glossy laurel]

Nvm, p.setArrowsInBody

[timid berry]

how do i properly compile this?

[blazing ocean]

Use the package task

[mellow edge]

Can I redistibute Connector/J or with maven called mysql-connector-java (same thing?) shaded in my plugin, or is it better to specify it as an external dependency somewhere in my plugins folder?
And are there any differences if I distribute my program payed/free?

[tender shard]

Read the license of that dependency. If it‘s on maven central just use plugin.yml instead of shading

[tender shard]

Lifecycle > package

[gilded forge]

Is there any way to play a sound for a player within a min volume?

the vanilla command "/playsound" provides an arguement called min volume, but method from spigot api doesn't

[sullen marlin]

Spigot includes this already

[wet breach]

it is not recommended to do this as spigot already shades a mysql connector. If you provide one in your plugin it will cause conflicts and is a pain to deal with. Also an issue if you want to use mariadb connector instead of the mysql one that is provided.

[robust jolt]

Hi, there is a way for prevent a custom item from being used in player's crafting inv?

[molten hearth]

has anyone here managed to get hotswapping to work with spigot?

im trying and i get hotswap errors lmao

[chrome beacon]

What are you trying to hotswap and what's the error

[molten hearth]

https://pastes.dev/pds84dKuGb

[molten hearth]

dunno like, the whole plugin

just trying to set up class hotswapping

[chrome beacon]

Never seen that error before

How did you setup hotswapping

also Paper

[molten hearth]

🤫

i dunno man i copied some mfs youtube vid

one sec

[chrome beacon]

I believe Paper userdev can do that

[molten hearth]

i basically made this config

then

downloaded a copy of jetbrains runtime from https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime/releases

and put https://github.com/HotswapProjects/HotswapAgent/releases in its directory

okay well i basically did this lol

[chrome beacon]

I'm not sure how well paperclip handles that

[molten hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-gif-4372156584801469333

[chrome beacon]

https://github.com/PaperMC/paperweight-test-plugin

^^

[molten hearth]

most stable paper moment

[chrome beacon]

Should be able to handle hotswapping when you run in debug mode from IDE

[molten hearth]

alright thanks ill give that a try

[molten hearth]

alright it works now thanks for the help

[kind condor]

Hi, I want to make a command that all the players can open a container which helps them share items, but I think if I just

Bukkit.createInventory(null, InventoryType.CHEST);

The inventory will disappear after the server reboot and lost every items in there, how can I prevent that?

[chrome beacon]

You need to save it somewhere

[kind condor]

How can I do that?

[chrome beacon]

The easiest way (not the best way) is just to save the items to a yaml file

[acoustic pendant]

Is there a way to change internally all items in the game?

Like mob drops, block drops etc but without changing the drop in the listener, maybe doing it when the server loads change all drops.

Have I explained myself? xd

[chrome beacon]

with the config api

[chrome beacon]

You can use a datapack

[kind condor]

loot table

[chrome beacon]

^^ a datapack with loot tables

[acoustic pendant]

Uh, i don't know how they work lol. Is it not possible with nms?

[chrome beacon]

You can do it with nms

but it's easier to just make a datapack

[kind condor]

alright I will try to use serialize

[acoustic pendant]

But do players will need to install the datapack when joining the server? I really don't know how they work

[chrome beacon]

?configs

[undone axle]

See this wiki page on how to use custom configuration files: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/config-files/

[kind condor]

no

[chrome beacon]

ItemStacks are already serializable

[kind condor]

it's server side

[acoustic pendant]

Oh

I'll look that then

Thanks

[kind condor]

thank you

I'm new to plugins lol
I use datapacks for the past 5 years

[chrome beacon]

That's good

Having a background with datapacks and commands does help a lot

[hushed spindle]

me have question
when you make a Merchant using Bukkit.createMerchant() and add MerchantRecipes to it you can also give the MerchantRecipe some details like how much exp it should reward the villager towards leveling up and how much discount its price should receive based on reputation, but it seems there's no way to actually assign this Merchant to a Villager

basically, the Merchant you create has no knowledge of a Villager, but i would still like for it to work with villager mechanics such as discounts or exp

[fair rock]

Some stuff i found out after researching:

Merchant is an interface (package somewhere in inventory)

You are currently using:

Merchant merchant = Bukkit.createMerchant("Inventory title");

If you want to work with Villager:

Villager villager = player.getWorld().spawn(player.getLocation(), Villager.class);
Merchant merchant = (Merchant) villager; // isnt neccessary just showing thats the same Merchant

Villager extends from AbstractVillager, that implements Merchant

[chrome beacon]

Do note if you want to modify that villager do so inside the spawn method consumer

[fair rock]

Thats only a information i found out after looking at Villager class, i dont know if thats works good or is the best option

[fair rock]

🫡

[chrome beacon]

Discounts and such work on rep which does require an actual villager

and it looks like the api wants a villager for the xp to work as well

[hushed spindle]

i would really like to work with new Merchant instances though as I don't want to actually modify the villager's trade data

i want to make a non intrusive custom trade plugin that basically overrides the normal villager interface with a custom one, so that if people want to remove the plugin it will not leave any messed up villagers behind

and it would give me more control over what the player can see and trade, like personalized additional trades based on renown or reputation

[kind condor]

so yeah I'm trying to do this

and I found

try (ByteArrayOutputStream byteStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
     BukkitObjectOutputStream objectStream = new BukkitObjectOutputStream(byteStream);
     FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(fileName)) {
    objectStream.writeInt(inventory.getSize());
    objectStream.writeObject(inventory.getName());
    for (ItemStack item : inventory)
        objectStream.writeObject(item);
    writer.write(Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(byteStream.toByteArray()));
}

on internet

but too bad inventory.getName() doesn't exist anymore

[mellow edge]

Thank you for help! And others.

Just wanted to ask this because it is licensed under GPL license.

[fair rock]

If the name is always the same you could ignore the name

[kind condor]

alright, but I still want to know how to get the title of an inventory in case I need it one day

[slender elbow]

inventories don't have a title

opened menus/InventoryViews have a title

just save the title you use to create the inventory with in some other variable

[remote swallow]

you shouldnt be using the title to determin if its yours so you shouldnt ever need to know the title

[slender elbow]

well that isn't what they're doing

they are saving the inventory, title included

[remote swallow]

why not just save the contents then

the inventory holds basically no data that you cant get from just the items other than inv name which you probably should know without having to save the inventory

[acoustic pendant]

Hey, could someone send me a link of Ageable blocks? i'm searching which are part of this Interface but can't find

[fair rock]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/block/data/Ageable.html

[acoustic pendant]

Yeah, but can't find the Blocks that are ageable there, or maybe i'm just blind idk

[remote swallow]

all of these

[acoustic pendant]

Isn't wheat also ageable for example?

I saw that but crops like carrots wheat etc doesn't appear there

[fair rock]

And if you use IntelliJ:
https://prnt.sc/yqQ2G8RZrF0-

[remote swallow]

im guessing crops use https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/CropState.html

[slender elbow]

they don't have a reason to have a subclass

Ageable is just.. enough

[acoustic pendant]

Yeah, but I was looking the blocks that were ageable and couldn't find them in the javadocs

I just want to be sure

Maybe in minecraft wiki? let me search

Nope

[slender elbow]

the wiki is very useful

also https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/Material.html#WHEAT

BlockData: Ageable

[acoustic pendant]

I'll just use cntrl + f there xd

thanks

[robust jolt]

Hi, I have a problem. I'd created a new inventory and I want to remove the option to close the inventory clicking the ESC Button.

    @EventHandler
    public void onInventoryClose(InventoryCloseEvent e)
    {
        if (!e.getView().getTitle().equals(ChatColor.RED + "Bank Menu"))
            return;

        Player player = (Player) e.getPlayer();
        if (player == null)
            return;

        if (exitPlayers.contains(player)) {
            exitPlayers.remove(player);
            return;
        }

        Economy.instance.getLogger().info("CALLED");
        new BankMenu(player);
    }

This is the code, but i get a stack overflow and my CALLED log is spaming

[slender elbow]

delay by one tick

[robust jolt]

Ok, in java how can I delay?

[slender elbow]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

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

[river oracle]

Couple things I see here alreadyt

1. Do NOT compare views using the title please instead reference the ideas of https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-modern-approach-to-inventory-guis.594005/
2. The InventoryCloseEvent player can never be null (Ensure you check for instanceof Player instead of a blind cast, this could cause issues down the road
3. You don't need to track with (exitPlayers) if you follow #1
4. Menus need to be re-opened after 1 tick and not immediately after see https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/scheduler-programming/

[robust jolt]

Ok, thanks

[inner mulch]

im trying to check whether an object is a primitve wrapper or not, im iterating over all base wrapper classes (that i put in a set) and check if my class is assignable from them.

Would it be smarter to recursively check for the superclass of an object until its a base wrapper class of the set?

I'm not sure what's smarter, iterating over all of them and checking for isAssingableFrom seems quite inefficient, altough the other method would be bad with lots of superclasses

[eternal night]

Primitives from Google commons has checks for this

[inner mulch]

do i need to add that library?

or is it in java?

[eternal night]

Spigot ships it

[inner mulch]

what do i need to type?

[slender elbow]

given that you can't subclass wrapper classes, the recursive approach is simply not needed

[eternal night]

https://javadoc.io/doc/com.google.guava/guava/latest/com/google/common/primitives/Primitives.html

[inner mulch]

you can extend from bigint

[slender elbow]

that is not a primitive

and it can represent numbers that can't be represented by primitives

[inner mulch]

hmm

[slender elbow]

like 10000000000000000000000000000000000

[eternal night]

What about -10000000000000000000000000000000000

[remote swallow]

thats a small big int

[eternal night]

Makes sense

[worldly ingot]

BigInt can also be 69 if you want

[worldly ingot]

If you're wanting to check for a numeric value, you can check if the type is a subclass of Number instead

That class actually encompasses BigDecimal, BigInteger, the primitives, and a few others

[magic raptor]

Guys i have a weird issue with a plugin, those are the screenshots:

[warm musk]

guys how can i configure templates on intellij idea

onCommand etc.

[remote swallow]

wdym by templates

[chrome beacon]

You mean live templates?

or something else

[chrome beacon]

That's not really a template

That's just an auto completion

[warm musk]

whatever

is it configurable?

[chrome beacon]

What do you want to change

[warm musk]

arguments

[chrome beacon]

arg names?

[warm musk]

yes

[chrome beacon]

You can probably add a live template

The auto completion uses the arg names of the method you're overriding

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/using-live-templates.html#live_templates_configure

[slender elbow]

if you have dependency sources downloaded, it'll use the names from the sources rather than the inferred names from decompilation

POV ai codes for you

[sly flint]

hahah

[river oracle]

you didn't write any of this code

[cedar saffron]

Mf used chatGPT 😭

ChatGPT is fine, but atleast learn some of the stuff your tryna make 💀

[quaint mantle]

If you don't know how to code, then don't use chatgpt at all because it wont help you. Instead learn java and how to google the problems.

[hybrid spoke]

correction, use it when you understand, what the AI just did for you

[dapper flower]

yo ucan use chatgpt to solve your problems if you know what you are doing and the problems are easy and explained well enough, sometimes you are just too lazy to write code yourself lmfao

[quaint mantle]

Cool but chatgpt literally killed junior positions in job market.

[dapper flower]

but if you go tell chatgpt "do magic and do the project for me" the guy is gonna smoke a whole 50$ of weed and trip like a grandma

[dapper flower]

if you can't invest to train your staff to do above minimum requirements then you should not be hiring juniors at all

you might need to use some NMS

[river oracle]

No it didn't

It's not even close to a junior developer

The idea that ChatGPT is taking developer jobs is literally preposterous and almost certainly propaganda from companies who stand to gain by shilling AI products

I think with a little critical thinking you'd beable to find good reasons for software jobs to be hard to find rather than AI BS

Real now that's something I can get behind

If you think ChatGPT is killing Jr Position you didnt understand Jr Positions in the first place💀

[wraith delta]

I absolutely agree. ChatGPT has solved bugs for me instantly that I would have wasted an hour testing. You do need to know how to code for gpt to be useful. Must provide the proper prompts, and understand the code it gave back to know if theres anything needing to be changed specifically.

[fair rock]

Wait isnt a cube like minecraft? Steve lied to me

[cedar saffron]

No

[fair rock]

Earth is a flat world sadge

[river oracle]

The government doesn't want you to know the world is only 30 million blocks by 30 million blocks. They're hiding the world border from us

They know the only efficient way to get there is ice boats through the nether which is exactly why they don't just let you get meter by meter cubes of obsidian easily

[quaint mantle]

Didn't do much research.

Chat went ai to conspiracy theory real quick

[copper spade]

My EntityDamageByEntityEvent triggers twice per each hoe swing, is that normal behaviour?

[sly topaz]

well, the answer to that question always is:

1. Are you running more plugins than your own?
2. Are you running a fresh build gotten from BuildTools on a clean server folder?
3. Can you reproduce it in any other way? Strip out everything unrelated in your plugin and just leave a minimal reproducible example

once you've checked all of these, you can gauge whether it is indeed normal or not

chances are it is just your plugin doing a weird thing or another plugin making interactions funny, then there's the 5% chance it is a Spigot bug, then there's a 1% chance it is a vanilla bug

[kindred sentinel]

I have 2 questions, the first one, will Player.spigot() work with other cores like paper or something like that? And the second one, to make constant-live actionbar (with changes) is only by BukkitScheduler.runTaskTimer?

[young knoll]

yes and yes

I mean technically I believe you can send action bars async

But yeah

[kindred sentinel]

It's possible afaik

[sly topaz]

while #spigot methods do work, there's little reason to use it at all nowadays, no?

as far I was aware, most of the methods that are there have just been moved up to the general interface instead

[kindred sentinel]

For example to send action bars messages

it's not possible without console or Player.spigot

Afaik

[young knoll]

Component stuff will be moved to .components() eventually

[kindred sentinel]

like Player.components().sendMessage()?

[sly topaz]

well, a bit off-topic then but you wouldn't use it on paper-based forks or paper itself anyway, since they use Adventure for that

I'd wish we all just got along together and decided to implement Adventure on every platform but sadly that's never gonna be the case

[kindred sentinel]

Because I want to make flexable plugins that can be used at spigot, paper core

and others

and why would I use adventure from paper instead of player.spigot()?

[sly topaz]

Adventure works on Spigot too, you just got to use the bukkit provider

[young knoll]

Yes

[eternal night]

the eventually be carring coll's statement

when choco when

[kindred sentinel]

Well, I don't know alot about adventure but what is it?

[sly topaz]

it is a cross-platform API/library for handling the minecraft component system

so, anything that uses components, Adventure will handle

[kindred sentinel]

And why it's better than Player.spigot()?

[sly topaz]

well, it is practically standardized given most of the other platforms also use it, and it's fully featured

i.e., you can do components in display name of items, things that Spigot hasn't gotten to implement yet

[eternal night]

Well you can't do those things on spigot even if you use the bukkit platform tho

[sly topaz]

I'd have assumed they just implemented it straight from nms, ig it is too much of a bother

[eternal night]

the only upside you'd get from using them is the completeness and the other frameworks around adventure like mini message

I'd argue you also get a lot nicer API over bungeee chat components, but that is subjective

[kindred sentinel]

Well, I would like to use Player.spigot

,_,

[eternal night]

then just do yea

works on paper just fine

[sly topaz]

I mean, you can use whatever you want

just know it is there if you end up needing an alternative

the one issue that you might find is that unlike bungee chat, it'll completely ditch the legacy system and if you ultimately want to use it you have to go through serializers

[worldly ingot]

My code is up to date!

[eternal night]

so do we need to peer pressure md into merging it

or are we waiting for 1.21.2

[sly topaz]

it being Something#components() doesn't quite feel right to me

[eternal night]

Well, its the alternative to the paper way

but also, going the paper way would be a declaration of war

[sly topaz]

one could completely confuse that with the data components tho

[eternal night]

data components weren't a thing when that format/idea was developed

[worldly ingot]

It's also way better than spigot() or sendComponentMessage()

So pick your poison, I guess

[sly topaz]

not merged yet so could still be changed

but not my PR so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[eternal night]

yea but into what xD

[worldly ingot]

I could make it textComponents() lol

[eternal night]

Yea

but is it a text component? What if its a translatable component

[worldly ingot]

I'd honestly just rather have ItemStack have a getDataComponents() instead

[eternal night]

Yea

Given that data components are presumably not coming to spigot anyway ™️

its w/e

[sly topaz]

everything is text components, since ultimately it does end up in a text representation

[worldly ingot]

On my list of todos but

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Busy

[eternal night]

ItemMeta is a flexible system

0 point in a data component API

[sly topaz]

I mean, the data component API in Paper is kinda eh, not loving it right now

[eternal night]

Well there isn't one?

[sly topaz]

well, the planned one so far

[eternal night]

Ah

[sly topaz]

I don't like to complain without providing actual feedback, but I also can't really come up with anything better lol

[eternal night]

Yea, well it just sadly exposes the reality that we are abstracting an ever changing system

but people wanna use highly specific things in each version

[sly topaz]

well, since it closely resembles the internal implementation, I'm sure some third-parties are going to take advantage of it and build up from that

[kindred sentinel]

I don't really know much about MySQL but I would like to learn it.. Soo.. What's the name of using .db files instead of full MySQL databases with connections etc.

[eternal night]

Well, but the API should expose something stable enough to depend on

like, the BasicCommand of brigadier API

for now, that is just gonna stay ItemMeta

[kindred sentinel]

I need brigadier in spigot

[eternal night]

sqlite?

[kindred sentinel]

Yes!

Thanks

I forgot

[eternal night]

👍

[sly topaz]

use a command framework like cloud or command api then

[worldly ingot]

(which is distinct from MySQL, mind you)

[kindred sentinel]

Really?

[worldly ingot]

Yes

[dapper flower]

might want to get a db browser for sqlite to look what is happening inside

[worldly ingot]

Different syntax

Similar syntax, but there are differences

[kindred sentinel]

Hmm... Ok! Thanks

I guess it's not normal to save player's data into the configs so I would like to learn SQLite xd

[worldly ingot]

It's small things like (columnName INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT) in MySQL vs (columnName INTEGER PRIMARY KEY ASC) in SQLite

But they'll bite you in the ass lol

[kindred sentinel]

:(

Well, I started from learning javascript

so... it's not that bad

[worldly ingot]

It's just something to be mindful of. When Googling online for help with queries, make sure you specify SQLite instead of MySQL because you might get different answers and be frustrated as to why your MySQL query isn't working in SQLite

[kindred sentinel]

And why does SQLite differ from MySQL? I though that all SQL type dbs almost the same

[hazy parrot]

almost

[worldly ingot]

MariaDB has its own features/syntax as well despite being a "successor" to MySQL

For the same reason Canada English differs from US English, there are different flavours of SQL :p

[young knoll]

SQL comes in all sorts of shapes and colours

Just like humans

[sly topaz]

they all implement different subsets of the SQL standards

[young knoll]

And melons

[kindred sentinel]

and deers

[kindred sentinel]

hmm, well it has sense

[sly topaz]

like, MySQL implements some of the SQL standard 2003 and 2011 IIRC

while SQLite only implements a subset of 2003 or something like that (bigger subset than MySQL's but still a subset)

[kindred sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/gigi-il-pirlo-gif-7791227938665575149

[eternal night]

sqlite also obviously has the sanest code of conduct

[young knoll]

Satanist?

[eternal night]

one could say that

[sly topaz]

the developers are very religious iirc, yeah

[kindred sentinel]

Reminds me of lessons of technical drawing

There were a lot of circles..

Strange.. circles..

[pseudo hazel]

does anyone happen to know the structure of an empty nbt list

like I cant give it a proper type

all the wiki says is "[TAG_END] may also be the type of empty List tags"

but idk if that means that an empty list is just a random end tag (doubt it) or if it means that the type of an empty list should be TAG_END (0)

im guessing the latter but hoping someone knows for certain

in which case an empty nbt list would be [9, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] as byte array

[young knoll]

Yes

TAG_LIST TAG_END (0 length)

However I assume the tag end could be any valid list tag

[pseudo hazel]

right, well lists have a size so they dont use the end tag to denote the end

[young knoll]

Correct

[pseudo hazel]

so I guess they just decided to use 0 for an empty list, which happens to be an end tag, thus making the description a little weird

[young knoll]

You can use any valid tag there

Like I said

[pseudo hazel]

ah

since the list is empty it shouldnt matter I suppose

[young knoll]

It just denotes what type of tags the list contains

But it’s empty so it doesn’t matter

[pseudo hazel]

yeah okay,

thanks

[young knoll]

I think that would be part of their pathfinding

So NMS

[slate siren]

guys

I coded it to open the sign editor screen with a command using Minecraft.net.server and Packet.

But there is a problem, I want to have text on the sign when the editor opens and I can't do that

[carmine oracle]

does PlayerResourcePackStatusEvent trigger before PlayerJoinEvent?
I mean, I'm testing it and it seems to be like that, but is that always the case?

also, has that changed through versions? if someone joins my server using a lower version, is it going to workd differently for them?

[young knoll]

Depends on how fast the client downloads it

And what stage you are looking for

[carmine oracle]

anything final (i.e. loaded, declined, discarded and idk if there's another like that)

[young knoll]

I think everything but downloaded and accepted are final

Also idk if the client waits for the download for packs sent on join

[carmine oracle]

nah, I just checked, it does depend on the client's speed to make the connection vs downloading the pack

at least that's what it looks like according to my tests xd

[sleek creek]

From my experience it will download after you have joined the server

[cedar saffron]

yes, it will ask as a prompt

[river oracle]

I'm embracing my true values

[viscid carbon]

Y'all ever sitting there having problems adding something and then your like wait... thats stupid. you can just add the rewards manually in the yml xD

Context: I was making a placeholder for my task reward system. in the gui i was trying to add %ITEMS% and over complicate this lol

[hybrid spoke]

no but spent hours of debugging for a problem which was non-existent (i commented a line out)

[carmine oracle]

Any recommendations on a lib for Config Management to simplify Config creation/usage? I am currently using https://github.com/boxbeam/RedLib/wiki/Config-Manager but I think the dev does not have much inspiration to continue supporting it xd

[hybrid spoke]

i created my own inside a plugin, was pretty useful to me while being quite messy. maybe it helps you too https://github.com/godcipher/antiac/tree/master/src/main/java/de/godcipher/antiac/config

"lib"

looks like this in the aftermath

# Config version: 3.0
# Configuration settings:

# Stores the last x CPS internally to process
cps-storage-limit: 30

# What click types should AntiAC track? [ATTACK]
allowed-clicktypes: [INTERACT, ATTACK, BLOCK_PLACEMENT, BLOCK_BREAK]

# Enable modern feedback

# Whether to log flagged players
logging: true

# Database URL

# Database username
database-username: root

# Database password
database-password:

# [MYSQL, POSTGRESQL, H2, ORACLE, SQLSERVER, SQLITE]
database-driver: MYSQL

# [MYSQL, POSTGRESQL, H2, ORACLE, SQLSERVER, SQLITE]
database-dialect: MYSQL

# Commands to execute when a player gets flagged
commands: [kick %player%, say %player% got flagged by %check% check!]

# Lowest allowed TPS until the TPS protection kicks in
tps-protection: 15

# Enable violation-based actions

# Maximum amount of violations allowed until the player gets flagged
max-allowed-violations: 8

# Whether the server allows bedrock players
bedrock-players: false

[carmine oracle]

Props for making it, but I'd rather use a fully supported lib made and supported by someone else so I don't have to maintain it xd

[hybrid spoke]

fair enough

[orchid brook]

Hello everyone it's not a spigot related question but i don't realy know where to ask

I have a quick question regarding the use of shadowJar. I've configured my task like this:

def pluginJarName = "MyPluginName-1.0.0-all"

// Task to copy the shaded jar into the plugins folder
tasks.register('copyPluginToServer', Copy) {
    dependsOn build
    from("$buildDir/libs/${pluginJarName}.jar") // Generated jar file
    into(serverPluginsDir) // The plugins folder of my server
}

// Run the copy task after shadowJar
shadowJar.finalizedBy(copyPluginToServer)

In my IDE, I've created a Run/Debug configuration to start the server with the Gradle task shadowJar before launching it. This allows me to use Ctrl + Shift + B (the build shortcut) to inject changes and debug without restarting the server.

My question is: should I use the ${plugin-name}-1.0.0-all.jar or the ${plugin-name}-1.0.0.jar? If I'm not mistaken, I should be using the one with the -all suffix, right?

[pliant topaz]

cost me 2 days to figure out i forgot to reset a value which made it inconsistent

[fading drift]

can I create a world with the directory for example worlds/nether

[eternal oxide]

yes

[fading drift]

just change name to such?

[eternal oxide]

you have to create/load it with WorldCreator

[fading drift]

new WorldCreator("worlds/nether"); would this work?

[eternal oxide]

yes, with .createWorld()

[fading drift]

thank you

how would I teleport a player to a different world

cus player.teleport didnt work

[eternal oxide]

world has to be loaded to be able to teleport to it

[fading drift]

printing Bukkit.getWorlds shows my world does that mean its loaded or do I have to do another step

[eternal oxide]

no other steps

you likely can;t teleport to the world in the same tick you load it

[fading drift]

how should I add delay?

create a runnable?

[agile anvil]

sure

[glossy laurel]

What are the pros and cons of using packet events instead of nms

[eternal oxide]

Pro: You don;t have to understant nms nor update your plugin everytime it changes.
Cons: You have to wait the the plugin to be updated if it breaks

[hushed spindle]

when you say packet events do you mean protocollib

[eternal oxide]

he means PacketEvents. Its a lib/plugin to replace PLib

[hushed spindle]

oh cool

its also worth noting you're adding a dependency to your plugin which, if you plan to publish the plugin, will put off some people

EntityShootBowEvent#setConsumeItem() is deprecated, is there a replacement to this?

[eternal oxide]

the deprecation would say if there was

[orchid brook]

spigot use snakeyaml so why people use boostedyaml that is also a derivated of snake??? i don’t get the point

[eternal oxide]

there is no point. They are misguided by someone who once used it and liked it

[orchid brook]

Someone tell me that because we can update the config and keep comments good

[eternal oxide]

so can snake

and using any other yaml implementation breaks Bukkit serialization

[chrome beacon]

BoostedYaml supported comments when Spigot did not

and now Spigot does

Boosted does have some other features that can be useful

[glossy laurel]

Performance differences?

[chrome beacon]

PacketEvents performance should be good enough

[fading drift]

is there a easy way to completely clear a players inventory

[drowsy helm]

player.getInventory().clear()

[fading drift]

perfect

this includes armor slots correct

[drowsy helm]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/Inventory.html#clear()

yeah i believe so

[glossy laurel]

It does

[fading drift]

does player.teleport return false if failed

[drowsy helm]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Entity.html#teleport(org.bukkit.entity.Entity)
