after every „you“ placing a random insult

[grave rune]

I don't know if I'm just too stupid, but when using Spigot 1.21.1 my plugin works and can be started. However, if I don't change anything in the plugin folder and just change the server jar to Spigot 1.21.3, I get the following error when starting the server.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.yaml.YAMLParser.createChildObjectContext(int, int)'
        at com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.yaml.YAMLParser.nextToken(YAMLParser.java:520) ~[?:?]

        at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper.readValue(ObjectMapper.java:3494) ~[jackson-databind-2.13.4.2.jar:2.13.4.2]

What am I missing here or has something been changed in Spigot 1.21.3?

General understanding: I use Jackson for file handling, because I need it for other things where I can't access the internal Spigot stuff

[chrome beacon]

Spigot doesn't bundle Jackson

You will need to supply it yourself

Adding it as a library in your plugin.yml should fix it

[grave rune]

already done

[chrome beacon]

odd

Are you sure the method you're using is present in the version of jackson specified

[grave rune]

Let me put it this way... With Spigot 1.21.1 it works - without errors. Only when I go to version 1.21.3 does the error occur.

So I would say.... Yes, the function should exist there, otherwise the error should also occur with 1.21.1 or am I seeing it wrong?

[chrome beacon]

Just wanted you to double check

because I've seen people multiple times say they hadn't done any changes

while they had

[grave rune]

I check it... only replaced the server jar - started... changed back and again...

From log:
at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper._initForReading(ObjectMapper.java:4761) ~[jackson-databind-2.13.4.2.jar:2.13.4.2]

In 1.21.3 the plugin is getting version 1.13.2 if I am correct.

So my assumption was that this is contained in the spigot jar.... Then the only question would be why exactly this version, since there is already 1.18.3 of it and why between versions 1.21.1 and 1.21.3 (I haven't tested 1.21.2 yet)

[chrome beacon]

Yeah I was about to say that the version in the stacktrace looks off

I don't see it being loaded by the library loader neither

Could you replicate the issue without any other plugins installed

[grave rune]

Give me moment to test it (without the other plugins)....

Here is the proof that I really only swap the versions from Spigot:
https://www.twitch.tv/morelaid/clip/RacyEncouragingWatermelonNerfRedBlaster-ltTmDol5dJyh7tWj

[sullen marlin]

I guess 1.21.3 has its own Jackson now - Mojang added a bunch of libraries

[rough drift]

oh man the funny Australian Man is speaking wisdom

[grave rune]

But why 2.13.4.2, the current version is 2.18.1?

[rough drift]

what

[grave rune]

Silly question:
Can I make my plugin load a special version of Jackson (currently the plugin.yml defines which version is downloaded, but it doesn't seem to be used) without shading this into the jar (because otherwise the spigot upload size is in danger)?

[faint tide]

hiya,

I can't seem to find anything about this online.
Is it possible to make a helmet glow? you have the glow effect which makes the whole entity glow, but I only want to make the helmet glow (the body is hidden).

But all I see online is to use the enchantment glint, which isn't exactly what I want

[chrome beacon]

yeah and why jackson they're already using gson

[sullen marlin]

Not silly but unfortunately not possible without making your own library loader

[grave rune]

Okay, thtas... That helps ❤️

[smoky anchor]

Not directly.
Make an armor stand wear the helmet, make it invisible & marker, teleport it to player
Make that armor stand invisible to the player (hideEntity in Player I think)

[faint tide]

yeah so that's the thing. the armorstand gets the glow. that's what i wish to avoid.

basically it is to remove a minigame. once you've entered the minigame i want the game grid to "glow" to show which game you're selecting.

but i find it very ugly to have the full armorstand glowing

[smoky anchor]

That's why you need to make the armorstand invisible ?

The armor stays visible and the helmet will have glow effect

[faint tide]

invisible doesnt hide the armorstand tho

[smoky anchor]

make it marker

And I apparently remember it wrong, sorry for that

[faint tide]

ah, I hadn't thought about that yet. Yeah that seems to fix it

thanks mate!

[smoky anchor]

Glad the marker worked, np

[tawdry echo]

BlockDisplay have glowing?

[smoky anchor]

I think they do

but I thought they wanted to show a helmet
Which you can't do with display entities

[faint tide]

exactly

[tawdry echo]

Ouh

Od thinking about head

[faint tide]

block display could've worked too, but I would've chosen that as option b

[smoky anchor]

If you want to show playerhead, then either display entity can do that

[chrome beacon]

^^

[smoky anchor]

If you only want to show heads, do use display entities.
Much better.

[chrome beacon]

also item displays can be set to show as if the item was on the head

See https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/ItemDisplay.ItemDisplayTransform.html#HEAD

[smoky anchor]

That is true, but that won't render as armor.

To my knowledge

[faint tide]

butr item displays are quite new right? are they compatible with 1.18?

[smoky anchor]

no they ain't

[worthy yarrow]

no

1.19.4+ iirc

[faint tide]

ah, there's the next issue :3

[smoky anchor]

Why do ppl never start with the version

[faint tide]

but the armorstand marker works fine

[chrome beacon]

That's probably true, it affects the item model and I believe Minecraft uses something non-standard for regular armor rendering

[smoky anchor]

yes

[faint tide]

lol sorry mate, but tbf, we already had the solution :p

[tender shard]

use the correct group id "com.jeff-media" and get it from maven central

[smoky anchor]

yeye
Just.. in general

[proud badge]

o
Idk why it worked my entire life

[tender shard]

https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.jeff-media/MorePersistentDataTypes/2.4.0/jar?eh=

[proud badge]

I got it working now

After using maven central

[worthy yarrow]

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

I was thinking about it and it may not be the best to be holding a reference to the main in each disc object, though I need a plugin reference to handle the tasks, that being said you guys think it'd be better to delegate this to another method somewhere else ie: a disc manager?

[wet breach]

if you are worried about holding a reference object you could also use a static to get an instance of the main as well. Main isn't like going to disappear magically lol

[slender elbow]

it's a transitive dependency from some azure auth library

[worthy yarrow]

Well that is what I am doing right now

[wet breach]

generally though you should stick with DI, but if DI isn't really needed just use the static way

[worthy yarrow]

It's just that I feel the disc objects should be more independent as they rely on a couple of things right now

[wet breach]

the only disadvantage of using a reference object is that its another object, but it isn't really going to harm anything in regards to main class since as I said its not like it will just go away

[worthy yarrow]

Yeah fair

All the discs are the same in terms of implementation with minor differences being like disc base speed etc, so perhaps just passing the disc object somewhere else to manage the actual functionality?

It just feels quite bloated

[wet breach]

well if all the discs are basically the same, they should be extending a base disc

[worthy yarrow]

They are

public abstract class Disc implements Cloneable {

    private final int speed;
    private final int glide;
    private final double turn;
    private final double fade;
    private final String discName;
    private final DiscType type;

    public Disc(int speed, int glide, double turn, double fade, String discName, DiscType type) {
        this.speed = speed;
        this.glide = glide;
        this.turn = turn;
        this.fade = fade;
        this.discName = discName;
        this.type = type;
    }

    public int getSpeed() {
        return this.speed;
    }

    public int getGlide() {
        return this.glide;
    }

    public double getTurn() {
        return this.turn;
    }

    public double getFade() {
        return this.fade;
    }

    public String getDiscName() {
        return this.discName;
    }

    public DiscType getType() {
        return this.type;
    }

    public Disc clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
        return (Disc) super.clone();
    }

    public abstract void handleThrow(Player player, PlayerSkills skills, String technique, BlockFace direction);

    public abstract void applyDiscPhysics(Player player, ItemDisplay discDisplay, Vector initialVelocity, int maxTicks, String technique, BlockFace direction);

}

[wet breach]

and then you should have a manager class for all these discs

that keeps track of them, the discs should really be asking the manager for information, not entirely sure what the discs would need from main

[worthy yarrow]

Simply just the reference to invoke the tasks

[wet breach]

o.O

[worthy yarrow]

I mean the only thing that'd end up changing is removing the field reference, and just passing it to the handleThrow/ApplyTechnique methods

So really now I'm not sure if this is needed

[wet breach]

you should have a manager that gets created in main and holds the reference, the manager should be handling the tasks or tasks delegated to it

and in there you would ideally have a task that runs every so often or when needed to do stuff

[worthy yarrow]

Also it should be mentioned the tasks inside the disc objects are only for visually displaying the throw

Honestly not sure if I should be worried about this cleanup right now

I still need to get the minigame system fully functional... which is difficult considering I haven't implemented any course stuff yet so the par system won't have much of an effect right now

Also I was thinking if switching to a completely event driven system would be better

This way I can handle individual's turns better within a round and what not

[wet breach]

you should, its easy to create events

I have some examples if you need them

[worthy yarrow]

I mean the event classes are basically just data wrappers no?

public class GoalScoreEvent extends Event {

    public static final HandlerList HANDLERS = new HandlerList();

    private final Player player;
    private final int holeNumber;
    private final GameRound round;

    public GoalScoreEvent(Player player, int holeNumber, GameRound round) {
        this.player = player;
        this.holeNumber = holeNumber;
        this.round = round;
    }

    public Player getPlayer() {
        return this.player;
    }

    public int getHoleNumber() {
        return this.holeNumber;
    }

    public GameRound getRound() {
        return this.round;
    }

    @Override
    public HandlerList getHandlers() {
        return HANDLERS;
    }

    public static HandlerList getHandlerList() {
        return HANDLERS;
    }
} ```

I'd almost argue that events should just be records

[umbral ridge]

They could be

[worthy yarrow]

Also now that I'm looking at this event, the holeNumber should be a reference in the actual round yeah?

Oh actually I think I just did that for testing

[quaint mantle]

it work only one time...

[chrome beacon]

odd

but why do you need to run it again already?

[quaint mantle]

because I installed the wrong version

derp

i installed 1.21.1 but i wanted 1.21

[eternal night]

1.21 has a known exploit

that is fixed in .1

[remote swallow]

1.21.1 has been superceeded by 1.21.1

there is no reason to need 1.21

[quaint mantle]

k

[young knoll]

Pretty sure 1.21 was fully replaced

[chrome beacon]

it was

[rough drift]

lmao

[cinder peak]

on 1.21 dosent work TextComponent component = Component.text("Klick mich um die AudioSession zu oeffnen");
component.clickEvent(ClickEvent.clickEvent(ClickEvent.Action.OPEN_URL, "https://www.spigotmc.org/"));
component.hoverEvent(HoverEvent.showText(Component.text("Klicke um zu oeffnen")));
player.sendMessage(component.content());

please help

[undone axle]

"Does not working" is a useless statement. Please describe what exactly is not working, what you expect it to do, and what actually happens. If you get any console errors, also ?paste the entire stacktrace.

[cinder peak]

Yes not working

Why is it not clickable or hoverable

[chrome beacon]

Did you convert it back in to a string

you need to send the component

Take a look at the adventure docs on how to do so

[cinder peak]

Ja aber ich habe schon andere varianten versucht aber ich verstehe nicht warum es nicht geht

Yes, but I've tried other variants but I don't understand why it doesn't work

sorry

[chrome beacon]

It doesn't work because converting it to a string will remove the data required to make it hoverable/clickable

You need to send the component

[hazy parrot]

^ https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Player.Spigot.html#sendMessage(net.md_5.bungee.api.chat.BaseComponent)

[pseudo hazel]

yes, but these are adventure components

might be better to ask in adventure discord server

[hazy parrot]

oh textcomponent doesn't exist in spigot

lol

[remote swallow]

text components do

all component stuff is from bungeechat

Component.text doesnt afaik

[cinder peak]

how it work?

[cinder abyss]

Hello, how can I make a block emit light in 1.21 ?
Basically, I've got a block who is not emitting light normally, and I want to make it emit light

[rough ibex]

You can put a light block next to it

[cinder abyss]

yeah I thought of that

[rough ibex]

Not sure theres a method to change a blocks light level

[cinder abyss]

but if I can make it be the light, that would be much easier

[fickle helm]

Am I reading this right that as of 1.21.3 in order to instantiate an AttributeModifer you are forced to either use deprecated constructors or use an experimental one?
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/attribute/AttributeModifier.html

[chrome beacon]

Looks like it

[fickle helm]

I don't like being forced to use deprecated or experimental APIs

[chrome beacon]

You can use the experimental one

The deprecated one should continue to work as well

[fickle helm]

Yeah and I'm not sure why I'm forced to reference the slot group. imo I should be able to provide null to it but it's marked as NotNull

[chrome beacon]

Use the ANY slot group

[fickle helm]

It just doesn't make sense if I'm changing the generic max health that I need to give it an equipment group

[chrome beacon]

You need to tell it when to give the extra health

[pseudo hazel]

can I use a MapRenderer to draw multiple images on top of each other without them erasing the below one? like the image I wanna use has alpha but it just overwrites all pixels on the map regardless

[young knoll]

Maps don’t support transparency

And only have a limited selection of colors anyway

[pseudo hazel]

right

I know

the default renderer is able to draw under my images just fine though

but I cant manage to do the same

also idk what the limited about of colors have to do with it

[young knoll]

I figured you wanted to overlay the two images and colour merge them

[pseudo hazel]

no I wanted to just say like if the alpha is 0, then dont actually draw a pixel

because whats the point

but now that I am trying again, I can see that it doesnt render under the images , just around it

so I might be halucinating

[young knoll]

You could overlay the items manually ig

[pseudo hazel]

yeah like read the pixels of the top image and only draw the visible ones

ig that would work

also is there really no way to give the map more pixels?

rn im stuck at 128x128

[young knoll]

Nope

[pseudo hazel]

alr

thanks for helping anyways

You wanne use a programming language, Modloader or Pluginloader...

Choose your fate!

[blazing ocean]

i wanna use prismlauncher

[pliant topaz]

then do that :3

i think i'll go with binary for minimal bloating and peak efficency

[pliant topaz]

You can use many things, plugins or mods, but in the end it comes down to preference and knowledge

I'm new to Minecraft, so I'll do some research.

Hi, I would like to spawn NPCs using NMS, but I don't really understand how it works. Does anyone have something that could help me? I'm using Spigot 1.21.3.

Could just run it outside of wsl?

[chrome beacon]

Use Citizens

[crimson mulch]

how, i didn't knew it was in wsl any im using BuildTools.exe

[sonic stratus]

But the problem is that I have to install it, right?

on my server

Hm? How did you run that exe?

[crimson mulch]

double click

?1.8

[undone axle]

https://howoldisminecraft188.today/

[crimson mulch]

Did i ask ?

[chrome beacon]

Try running the cli instead of the gui

[blazing ocean]

i believe for 1.8 you need to build a latest version first and then 1.8

[crimson mulch]

wsl --shutdown ? xD

[crimson mulch]

already did that too

[chrome beacon]

I meant the BuildToold gui

[river oracle]

part of your issue is that 1.8.8 doesn't build correctly the first try anymore

[blazing ocean]

but again why use an almost 10 year old version

[river oracle]

its been this way for a while

and its a not going to fix issue

you may have to compile a brand new version first

[crimson mulch]

already did the latest and also 1.13

[river oracle]

maybe 1.8.8 build finally broke 🥳

we can only hope

[blazing ocean]

finally 🙏🙏🙏

[river oracle]

seriously though running spigot on 1.8.8 is really fucking stupid please find a fork

[crimson mulch]

i use paper

[blazing ocean]

....

[river oracle]

that is not a better fork for 1.8.8

in fact that's just as bad

[crimson mulch]

okay but

did i ask

[blazing ocean]

i mean

why use buildtools if you're using paper

lmfaoo

[crimson mulch]

coding

paper support classic spigot for plugin

[blazing ocean]

userdev moment

[river oracle]

I don't think userdev existed in 1.8.8

I mean that was 10 years ago

[blazing ocean]

lol common 1.8 L

[crimson mulch]

I love coding in 1.20, but sometimes customer ask for something in old version

[blazing ocean]

imagine using outdated software

could literally not be me

also miles go review my code

[crimson mulch]

U see, that's one of the reason why i hate to ask for help 👀

[river oracle]

yeah I'd hate to ask for help if I used a rediculously outdated version too

[violet blade]

the three major server softwares rn would not give support for such outdated version

[blazing ocean]

if you use a 10 year old version you gotta know how to fix issues yourself

[crimson mulch]

that's not the point, there is a reason i need to use this version

[crimson mulch]

yeah but it's not a problem with the version it's a wsl problem

and it does that with any version so the version is not the point

[river oracle]

Wonder how many exploits that server will have unpatched

[crimson mulch]

don't worry about that, that's not a playable server 😜

Sometimes old, dreprecated, and stinky things are just so fun to rage with 🤡

I use 1.8.8 at my own risk and I understand it, but don't just trash me cause I'm using this version for some random project.

Just for depencies it's an headache so I guess you are right, it's too old, but that's just fun to have some challenge with the older versions

and also i dont have the choice its for a customer

any suggestion on improving this singleton design, the main idea is the object with the same value is the same in term of both value and address.

import java.util.Map;

public class AssignedSlot {
    private static final Map<String, AssignedSlot> singletonSlot = new HashMap<>();
    private final int slot;

        this.isPassive = isPassive;

        return action;

    public boolean isPassive() {
        return isPassive;
    }
}```

[hazy parrot]

putIfAbsent + get can be replaced with computeIfAbsent

[lilac dagger]

create instead of createAssignmentSlot

it is already referenced by the class name

AssignedSlot.createAssignedSlot sounds redudant no?

use hash and equals and instead of a map use HashSet

you could but then you'd have to create pointless assigned slots, nvm

you can have a static reusable assigned slot that you can modify in order to check if it exists in the Set

but only if you're not working with multiple threads

I wanna restart my sendActionBar timer everytime a player hits another player, and restart the inCombat timer, but i don't know how? I've added a restartTimerOnEachHit hashmap but it won't come to my brain how i'm gonna use it

[smoky anchor]

Make it restartTimerOnEachHit a Set<UUID> restartTimerOnEachHit = new HashSet<>();
Add UUID playerUUID = player.getUID(); (or whatever the method is) under refreshTime for example
Add

if (restartTimerOnEachHit.remove(playerUUID) != null)
    secondsLeft = defSecondsLeft;```
in the sendActionBar runnable, as first statement in run()
Then simply add the player UUID to the set when hit

I think

[smoky anchor]

What is inCombat for ?
I see no reason for it to have a Long, it is not used. Could be a Set<UUID> as well.
And instead of removing a player from inCombat via a scheduled task in the handleCombatStatus, do it in sendActionBar, when the task would be cancelled. That would solve the "restarting" too.
Would also be good to change the name of the method in that case probably.
And why does the sendActionBar method have a message parameter when it is called only once and it is always the same.

I don't exactly understand the need for playerBedLocations. Can you not do player.getBedSpawnLocation() once the player has left ? Wherever you use it, you already have a player instance, this seems as a pointless waste of memory.

[near furnace]

i use incombat to store the players who are in combat

[smoky anchor]

And I don't exactly like defSecondsLeft and refreshTime in the sendActionBar method.
Those should be static final constants instead.

[near furnace]

but i cant get the playerbedspawn location on player quit event

cuz the player has already left

it showed an error something

[smoky anchor]

But you can do other stuff ? Like teleport or set health ?
I mean, sure. If that is the case then it's alright.

[near furnace]

and i need the bed spawn, cuz when they log back in i need to tp them there

[smoky anchor]

Yeye, gotcha.

[near furnace]

i should make them final?

i put defSecondsLeft (aka define seconds left) and ill make it a config thing later

so u can change the value from config.yml

[smoky anchor]

Ok, that's fine as well then.

[smoky anchor]

This is what I meant btw by that. But don't if you plan on making it configurable

[near furnace]

owh

what more changes should i make

[smoky anchor]

Just re-read my messages.
change inCombat, change restartTimerOnEachHit, change how you remove from inCombat

[near furnace]

remove handleCombatStuff and merge it into sendActionBar?

[smoky anchor]

I guess that could work

probably the other way around

[near furnace]

but! i need that to be customizable aswell haha, cuz i want to set in config that you can choose from action bar text or titles or subtitles

[smoky anchor]

And one small thing, change the HashMap<...> .. = new HashMap<>(); to Map<...> .. = new HashMap<>();

[near furnace]

thats why like, if its said in config, call sendActionBar method, otherwise, call something else like titles or subtitle timers

[near furnace]

use maps instead of hashmaps?

[smoky anchor]

Sure, but if you do my suggestion to remove from inCombat in the sendActionBar then it would be silly to have it multiple times
Instead make method "send message" and there make the decision which way to send the message.

[smoky anchor]

It's the same, but... I forgor the name wait

[near furnace]

ohh sendmessage method, and the config will choose which type of message to send

[near furnace]

what would that do though?

[smoky anchor]

Liskov Substitution Principle it is called I think
Just a "better" way to do things, it helps you change the implementation later if you change your mind, much easier.

I can't explain these things as well as other ppl here can.

Speak of the devil

[worldly ingot]

There’s practically zero benefit for any other parts of your code to know it’s a HashMap. All it should care about is that it’s a Map. If it then later has to change to an EnumMap or a ConcurrentHashMap, your methods and uses of the map object probably will not change at all, but if it were defined as a HashMap then you may have to update all your signatures that expect a HashMap

Obviously you may need a more specific type of map, like a Multimap, but you often want to just define your types by what you expect to use them for.

[near furnace]

ok im gonna do my inCombat logic in the sendMessage method

[smoky anchor]

That's.. not what I said

sendMessage should only decide what type of message it should send
That is it.

[near furnace]

oh

okie

[smoky anchor]

Do fix it up and feel free to send it here again
But preferably use

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[near furnace]

ok ill use ?paste next time

[smoky anchor]

no just go that that website

[near furnace]

yea yea

[smoky anchor]

the ?paste is just a command to send the website

okok good :D

[near furnace]

:)

[near furnace]

i cry when i look at my noob ass code,

ive kinda "organized" it, and made a chain of things. PlayerHit called handleCombat method, and it calls the sendCountdownTimer method and it calls the appropriate type of countdown which is actionBar...

[somber scarab]

I remember having hte issue "org.bukkit.craftbukkit.bootstrap.Main
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/bukkit/craftbukkit/bootstrap/Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 65.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 62.0"

I had it before long ago but I forgot how to fix it again

I tried installing java SE 18 but that didn't fix

[worldly ingot]

That's cause Minecraft requires Java 21

[somber scarab]

hmm

I remember having 21 tho.. that's what the Build Tool used

[worldly ingot]

It may not be set to 21 on your classpath though. java --version would tell you what it's using by default

Sorry, in your environment variables*, not classpath

[somber scarab]

right it's 18

thanls

[worldly ingot]

You can either update your environment variables to use the 21 installation, or just directly invoke the java executable from your 21 install path

Either one works

[lilac dagger]

the second one is great if you still wanna run servers on lower java versions

or higher

[buoyant viper]

the crying never stops, even after 10 years

Is it possible for BlockPlace or BreakEvent to fire in a chunk which hasnt sent ChunkLoadEvent?

[eternal oxide]

no, not unless a plugin fires the event itself

[proud badge]

with Bukkit.callEvent?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[proud badge]

ok got it thanks

sounds more like your buildtool cache is fucked

mvn clean package

[somber scarab]

but that doesnt exit in my plugin.yaml

[eternal night]

or gradle clean; gradle build

[somber scarab]

yep worked

thx

[proud badge]

ChunkUnloadEvent is fired before the chunk is unloaded, right? So modifying the chunk's PDC during the event shouldnt cause issues

[eternal night]

Yea

[somber scarab]

I have another issue

it seems Intellij keeps injecting its own plugin.yml

instead of using mine

any idea how to change that?

[eternal night]

how does IJ "inject" things? Is the file being changed?

[somber scarab]

when I check the jar with WinRaR I see a plugin.yml that Ididn't create.

mine is different

and it's using the wrong api version (i think)

[eternal night]

what build tool are you using?

[somber scarab]

mvn

[eternal night]

IJ should not touch anything regarding maven

so ehhh

[somber scarab]

well maybe it's maven then

how do I tell it to use this plugin.yml and not whatever this is

[eternal night]

anything funky in your pom.xm l? Are you sure it isn't just an issue that was solved with clean

[somber scarab]

that original issue was just because I wasnt using the build tool. I was doing some old method I remember working long ago

[eternal night]

your plugin.yml is in the src/main/resources folder ye?

[somber scarab]

oh

[eternal night]

figured

Yea, the one in the root of your project is not picked up by maven

that is just whatever "old" method you were using

[somber scarab]

man I've forgot so many of the basics lmao

I'vnt been developing for a while

thanks

making some shitty plugin for a minecraft challenge for my channel

[cinder abyss]

Hello, I've got a method triggered in a command to spawn an ItemDisplay and a light block up, Idk why, but when doing the spawn of the light block, everything after is not achieved. Here is my code :```java
/**

• Spawn the custom block at the given location

• @param blockLoc The location of the block
  */
  public void spawn(Location blockLoc) {
  blockLoc.getBlock().setType(blockInside);

  // BLOCK
  blockLoc.getWorld().spawn(blockLoc.add(.5, .5, .5), ItemDisplay.class, itemDisplay -> {
  spawnedDisplay = itemDisplay;

       itemDisplay.setItemDisplayTransform(ItemDisplay.ItemDisplayTransform.HEAD);
  
       itemDisplay.setTransformation(new Transformation(
               new Vector3f(0f),
               new AxisAngle4f(0f, 0f, 0f, 1f),
               new Vector3f(1f),
               new AxisAngle4f(0f, 0f, 0f, 1f)
       ));
  
       commonArguments.apply(this);
   });
  

  // TODO : Wtf not working, it blocks everything
  Block lightBlock = blockLoc.add(0, 1, 0).getBlock();
  lightBlock.setType(Material.LIGHT);
  Light light = (Light) lightBlock.getBlockData();
  light.setLevel(emittingLightLevel);
  lightBlock.setBlockData(light);

  BountifulLib.trackedDisplays.add(spawnedDisplay);
  }```

[smoky anchor]

Have you made any progress here ?

[proud badge]

you need to run .update() on blockdata to update it

[inner mulch]

Does World#getLoadedChunks return all Chunks that have at least been loaded once or does it return the chunks that are currently loaded by a player?

[cinder abyss]

Oh thanks, I'll try that when I'll be home

[proud badge]

what do the docs say
I assume currently loaded

[inner mulch]

Array of All loaded chunks

[proud badge]

means currently loaded

in memory

[inner mulch]

Is there a way to read the data of all chunks that have existed?

[slender elbow]

not with the api

[shadow night]

That reminds me of aternos' "optimize worlds" feature (it breaks shit most of the time)

[umbral ridge]

Ok look

https://tenor.com/view/aternos-minecraft-minecraft-server-gif-25681225

[umbral ridge]

How else emily

[eternal night]

without the API of course

[umbral ridge]

XD

you could read world region files

and parse them somehow

[eternal night]

Yea that is how its usually done

[proper cobalt]

im trying to leash a player to an entity

would Entity#setLeashHolder be correct

it says

Method invocation 'setLeashHolder' may produce 'NullPointerException'

so ig this is only if they have a leash holder

how can i "create" a leash holder

oh nvm im dumb

[bold plume]

world.loadChunk(-825, -650) - do these two integers represent chunk coordinates or world coordinates? Spigot 1.8

[chrome beacon]

chunk

[bold plume]

I know that if a UUID is in ANIMALS, it is not in wave_animals but if it is not in ANIMALS it may be in WAVE_ANIMALS. That said, what is the fastest option?

option 1:

if (MonsterRunnable.ANIMALS.remove(entity.getUniqueId()) == null) {
MonsterRunnable.WAVE_ANIMALS.remove(entity.getUniqueId());
}

option 2:

MonsterRunnable.ANIMALS.remove(entity.getUniqueId());
MonsterRunnable.WAVE_ANIMALS.remove(entity.getUniqueId());

[proper cobalt]

idk im tryna do this
player.setLeashHolder(stand.getEntity());

i want the player to leash the armor stand

but nothing happens

[chrome beacon]

You're leashing the player to the armorstand

instead of the other way around

[proper cobalt]

oh ight

[chrome beacon]

Assuming those are sets

[proper cobalt]

how can i unleash the player later when i dont have a reference of the armorstand entity tho

[chrome beacon]

the performance is negligible

[chrome beacon]

Try getLeashHolder

or just setting null

The docs are a bit confusing ngl

[proper cobalt]

yeah idk still not leashing

"non-living entities"

ig it doesnt work on armor stands?

[chrome beacon]

An armor stand is a living entity funnily enough

[proper cobalt]

why doesnt it work then bruh

[bold plume]

hashmap

[chrome beacon]

That works too

[bold plume]

what u think more usable

[chrome beacon]

second one looks cleaner

[bold plume]

ok

gpt: "Option 2 is more efficient because it reduces the complexity of logic flow while still achieving the desired result. It directly attempts to remove the UUID from both HashMaps without additional checks, making the code cleaner and more performant"

[sweet pike]

I'm facing some issue trying to set block data Powerable to true. In my example, I am attempting to set powered rails as powered for every block in a region location:

poweredRails.forEach { region ->
            region.key.toSingleBlockLocations().forEach { // <- Location object
                it.block.type = Material.POWERED_RAIL

                it.block.blockData = it.block.blockData.apply {
                    (this as Rail).shape = region.value
                    (this as Powerable).isPowered = true
                }
            }
        }```
the rail does not seem to be set as powered. I have also tried delaying he set the `isPowered` by at least 2 ticks. nothing seems to actually set it to powered

[pseudo hazel]

dont have to add the data to the block just like item meta?

[young knoll]

Does apply call getBlockData, edit it, and then setBlockData?

Idk how Kotlin works

[pseudo hazel]

idk

apply is called on the blockdata, not on the block

how would it know the block to apply it to

unless this is kotlin voodoo magic

[sweet pike]

that line basically just sets the block data to the value of getBlockData, but also before it returns getBlockData it applies the following in {}

[sweet pike]

do i need to then 'set' the block data?

[pseudo hazel]

well idk

you can try it ig

[sweet pike]

well that's what im doing

[pseudo hazel]

oh

right because there are no setters

magic after all

[sweet pike]

let me clarify by using the expanded method what im doing:

it.block.setBlockData(it.block.getBlockData().apply {
    (this as Rail).shape = region.value
    delay(2) {
        (this@apply as Powerable).isPowered = true
    }
    return
});

[young knoll]

Set it without applying physics

[sweet pike]

ill give it a shot

[sweet pike]

yeah that didn't seem to work.

[young knoll]

It should

Does the shape change?

[blazing ocean]

yes

[blazing ocean]

also please don't overuse it like that

or you could just onEach instead of forEach, because that's what it's made for

[tall gyro]

hi

how i can generate a world throw a code with my datapack?

[chrome beacon]

I don't understand the question

[tall gyro]

so datapack cheanges my world generation

so how i can do this

without putting it in a my world folder with my hands and do it throw my code

sry for my bad english i probably not an english-speaker user

in short, i want to create a small plugin that will genearate a large amount of small worlds with my datapack

[outer river]

hello, i have an issue, i try to moove my world my plugin's folder when i create it but it doesnt work:

private void moveToFolder(World w) {
        w.getWorldFolder().renameTo(new File(main.getDataFolder(), "Maps/"+w.getName()));
    }

[chrome beacon]

So why are you trying to rename it like that

instead of moving it

Use the Files API and make sure the world is fully unloaded before you do so

(if you have the world instance like above it's probably not unloaded)

[outer river]

hmm i see, and maybe you know a way to create the world directly in a wanted folder ?

i rode thats was not possible but idk

[chrome beacon]

I believe you can specify the folder path directly in the world name

when using the WorldCreator

Though I can't say if that's intended or not

[outer river]

okok, i'll try thx

[young knoll]

It’s relative to the world folder tho

Idk if you can go up directories with it

[toxic sorrel]

is there a way to set a wolf's armor? i've tried using ((Wolf) entity).getEquipment().setArmorContents but it seems like this isnt even where the armor is "stored" on a wolf

[young knoll]

Isn’t there an EntityEquipment#setItem(EquipmentSlot, ItemStack)

Or something similar

[river oracle]

yes sir

[umbral ridge]

how to measure in bytes a size of a block

[river oracle]

you look it up

[umbral ridge]

is each block different size?

is it texture based

[river oracle]

add these up https://minecraft.wiki/w/Block_properties then you also have to account for block state too

which is completely variable

boolean remember is 1 byte

[umbral ridge]

tnx

[river oracle]

good luck you've just started an nearly impossible task!

[umbral ridge]

is there a packet for incoming and outgoing traffic?

so i could just grab that number instead

im doing some heavy optimizations

[river oracle]

you could maybe decipher the chunk load packets

you'll have to read the NBT though

[umbral ridge]

NBT 🥴

ill try

[blazing ocean]

why

[river oracle]

"optimization" ⭐

aka I am making some stupid optimization which ends up just being worse performance

but I don't know that yet

[blazing ocean]

premature optimisation moment

[umbral ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-im-dead-falling-over-gif-2711800222951691028

[river oracle]

do you even know why you're doing this

or are you just doing it because you don't know what you're doing

[umbral ridge]

who in this world knows what they're doing without trying it first?

[river oracle]

me

[sly topaz]

I never understand people who go to crusades like that

usually when it comes to performance, it mostly comes down to how well you can take advantage of a data structure as well as correcting seemingly innocent mistakes in your code

that leaves out a good performance without trying to be clever

what bothers me is that people always want to be clever, and that rarely gets good results on the broader scale

[echo basalt]

There are multiple types of "performance"

For example you can have an algorithm that's quite fast but uses a lot of memory

[river oracle]

I'm looking at you Trie

[echo basalt]

You can have an algorithm that works great across multiple cores but struggles on single-core systems

You can have an algorithm that takes forever to "train" but gives great results once done (for example, sorting data)

[sly topaz]

well, when it comes to performance, you don't really think about paraellization/concurrency unless it ultimately matters, since it introdces a bunch of mental overhead which nobody likes to deal with

[echo basalt]

You only need to make it concurrent when it becomes a problem

For example, if you're scanning thousands of blocks it might be worth it to make it multi-threaded

Either big batches or really long individual processes can be done async

Sometimes you have a big batch that once done leads into a sorting process

[sly topaz]

I could probably write a blogpost about it tbh, more geared towards the minecraft community where young devs really think "async" is the magic keyword for everything

[echo basalt]

terminology go brr

[paper viper]

Async is such a general category

Could mean a million things

[echo basalt]

here's a concrete explanation

[sly topaz]

asynchronous just means it runs independently of the main set of tasks

[young knoll]

On the server each block state is stored once

And mapped to an integer

A chunk section normally stores the blocks in it using a palette

Normally palettes use a variable number of bits for each block, depending on how many are in that section

Minimum of 4

[wary oyster]

im trying to make a command that summons a block display at the players location starting at a small size that grows to a full size and then sets the actual block in place on the last incremeent before the size reaches the full size to prevent z fighting and then remove the block display, but im really lost on how to use the transformation stuff

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/BlockDisplay.html

[chrome beacon]

Which part are you having troubles understanding

[wary oyster]

uh well my current code translates the block display instead of scaling it

its baffling me

[chrome beacon]

You can use
https://misode.github.io/transformation/

to visualize transforms

[wary oyster]

oh misode ive used his stuff before for datapacks alonggg time ago

[young knoll]

Ur editing the wrong value if it’s translating instead of scaling

[wary oyster]

i cant remember if im allowed to send code but this is what i have

public class BlockSummoner {

    private static final Vector3f INITIAL_SCALE = new Vector3f(0.2f, 0.2f, 0.2f); // Start with a tiny block
    private static final Vector3f FULL_BLOCK_SCALE = new Vector3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
    private static final float SCALE_INCREMENT = 0.05f; // How much the block grows each tick
    private static final Vector3f ZERO_VECTOR = new Vector3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); // No translation
    private static final Quaternionf NO_ROTATION = new Quaternionf(); // No rotation
    private static final Material INITIAL_COLLISION = Material.FLOWER_POT;
    private static final Vector3f INITIAL_COLLISION_SCALE = new Vector3f(0.6f, 0.6f, 0.2f);

    public static void placeBlock(Location location, Material block, JavaPlugin plugin) {

        // Step 1: Summon a small BlockDisplay
        BlockDisplay blockDisplay = (BlockDisplay) location.getWorld().spawnEntity(location, EntityType.BLOCK_DISPLAY);
        blockDisplay.setBlock(block.createBlockData());

        // Set the billboard to FIXED
        blockDisplay.setBillboard(Billboard.FIXED);

        // Set initial tiny scale, with no translation and no rotation
        Transformation initialTransform = new Transformation(ZERO_VECTOR, NO_ROTATION, INITIAL_SCALE, NO_ROTATION);
        blockDisplay.setTransformation(initialTransform);

        // Step 2: Animate the block growth using a scheduled task
        new BukkitRunnable() {
            float currentScale = INITIAL_SCALE.x();

            @Override
            public void run() {
                // Step 3: Grow the block (uniformly in all axes)
                currentScale += SCALE_INCREMENT;
                Vector3f scaleVector = new Vector3f(currentScale, currentScale, currentScale);
                Transformation growingTransform = new Transformation(ZERO_VECTOR, NO_ROTATION, scaleVector, NO_ROTATION);
                blockDisplay.setTransformation(growingTransform);

                // Step 4: Once it's grown bigger than the flowerpot hitbox size, place a Flower Pot for early collision
                if (currentScale >= INITIAL_COLLISION_SCALE.x()) {
                    Block blockAtLocation = location.getBlock();
                    blockAtLocation.setType(INITIAL_COLLISION);


                }

                // Step 5: Once it's grown slightly larger than full block, replace with actual block
                if (currentScale >= FULL_BLOCK_SCALE.x() + 0.05f) {
                    location.getBlock().setType(block); // Set the real block
                    blockDisplay.remove(); // Remove the BlockDisplay to prevent flashing
                    this.cancel(); // End the animation
                }
            }
        }.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0, 1); // Run task every tick (1 tick = 50ms)
    }
}```

[chrome beacon]

You don't need to force it to scale like that

Display entities have interpolation

[wary oyster]

oh?

[chrome beacon]

Yes set the interpolation delay

It will make it animate smoothly clientside

looks a lot better

[wary oyster]

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

cool

[chrome beacon]

yes that

Also when spawning an entity that you plan on modifying use the spawn method that accepts a consumer

[sly topaz]

it simplifies code a lot that they're interpolated client-side

[chrome beacon]

That will ensure you modify the entity before it's spawned and not after

The Transformation class is immutable so you can make it in to a constant

[wary oyster]

spawn method? sorry im not really familiar with spigot this is my first full project ive just done small stuff

[chrome beacon]

world.spawn

instead of spawnEntity

[wary oyster]

and what is a consumer

[chrome beacon]

It's a functional interface that's part of Java

[wary oyster]

oh

im taking java classes in college rn

[chrome beacon]

In this case it allows you to give the method a function that you can modify the entity in

[wary oyster]

so is it like a lambda

[chrome beacon]

yes

[wary oyster]

ah

[chrome beacon]

Not just like

functional interfaces are commonly used with lamdas

(almost always)

[sly topaz]

any interface that is annotated with @FunctionalInterface is well, a functional interface

their main characteristic is that they have a single abstract method

[wary oyster]

ok so i should summon with spawn method, use interpolation, but any reason why my current code would be translating

[chrome beacon]

haven't really looked in to why

since there's no need to keep that part of the code

[young knoll]

(Interpolation doesn’t work directly on spawning)

[wary oyster]

lol ok

[young knoll]

For some reason

You have to delay it a tick

[sly topaz]

maybe the entity metadata packet is sent too late

[wary oyster]

uh so instead should i just do some delay method

[chrome beacon]

runTask in the scheduler

[wary oyster]

in the consumer

ok

[young knoll]

Presumably it’s because the client doesn’t have the previous transformation yet, since the entity just spawned the same tick

You can’t interpolate from nothing to a new transformation

[sly topaz]

so it'd be fine if you set the initial transformation as well as interpolation delay on the spawn consumer and then do it again outside of the consumer

[young knoll]

You don’t really need to set the delay

It’s 0 by default

[sly topaz]

I assume they want a bigger delay, so it smoothly interpolates from x to y

[wary oyster]

yeah i dont want it instant

[young knoll]

Delay != duration

[wary oyster]

ah ic

[sly topaz]

ah yeah, I always get the two mixed up

[young knoll]

But yeah you don’t need to set it in the initial spawn

Just when you make the change a tick later

[wary oyster]

i found the scheduler code from a tutorial, and the scheduler seems like a core concept i havent learned yet, are there any resources on it besides the javadocs?

[young knoll]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

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

[wary oyster]

figured there would be

[sweet pike]

how does this make a difference though?

i would still need to call it to access the reference

[blazing ocean]

onEach calls apply for each element

[blazing ocean]

no, it's this

[sweet pike]

im confused

[blazing ocean]

huh well it calls apply but not T.() -> Unit but rather (T) -> Unit

[sweet pike]

sooo

am i supposed to change anything?

[sly topaz]

yes

remove kotlin altogether from your codebase

[blazing ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/exploding-car-explode-cat-boom-bah-gif-5387928273689188008

[sweet pike]

so is using forEach fine then...?

[blazing ocean]

yea ig

but rename it from it

[sweet pike]

why

[blazing ocean]

confusing

[sweet pike]

i feel like the ex i gave was pretty straightforward

[blazing ocean]

i still always find it confusing if you have bigger stuff

[sly topaz]

this is the reason I hate kotlin

people make it so unreadable

[river oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/kotlin-my-beloved-kotlin-my-beloved-gif-18373794183844739852

I love kotlin, but I also don't use vodoo magic DSL for anything so maybe that's why I love it?

[young knoll]

Based

[river oracle]

I sometimes use extension functions, but that's about it

[sly topaz]

I just searched what the difference was

turns out forEach is appropriate here since they're doing a terminal operation on the elements

[chrome beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/java-my-beloved-gif-26470299

[sly topaz]

onEach is the intermediate version between forEach and map. That is, I want to do something with the data but return it back as is

[blazing ocean]

IJ always told me to myList.onEach { ... } instead of myList.forEach { it.apply { ... } }

[dry hazel]

well onEach isn't that

[blazing ocean]

so i just assumed that was correct lmfao

[blazing ocean]

oh is onEach just forEach { it.also { } } then

which kinda wouldn't make sense to do

(and then just return self)

[dry hazel]

it's just forEach but it returns the collection you just operated upon

[blazing ocean]

TIL ig

[sly topaz]

yes, but if the semantics of it is for it to handle side-effects, I assume you don't want to modify the data there, even if you could

[wary oyster]

World world = player.getWorld();
world.spawnEntity(location, EntityType.BLOCK_DISPLAY);

so how do i use the consumer thing like you were saying

[chrome beacon]

BlockDisplay blockDisplay = world.spawn(location, BlockDisplay.class, display -> {
    display.setBlock(block.createBlockData());
    display.setTransformation(INITIAL_TRANSFORM);
    display.setInterpolationDuration(TRANSFORM_DURATION);
});

[young knoll]

Remove the last line from that part

But yeah

[wraith delta]

Question about setting blocks in the world; Needing to spawn blocks around 128 area repeatedly. Error im having is its not spawning any blocks and lags the server till it closes. Heres the code: https://paste.md-5.net/pehisekogo.java

[chrome beacon]

hm? Does it not work when changing transform next tick?

didn't know you had to change the duration next tick as well

[young knoll]

Don’t think so

You need to set the duration the same time you make the change

[chrome beacon]

?workdistro

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/guide-on-workload-distribution-or-how-to-handle-heavy-splittable-tasks.409003/

[wraith delta]

Thanks ill try it. but if its the code thats wrong because no blocks spawn at all, then its that.

I would figure at least some would show before it crashes

[chrome beacon]

Server can get killed before that is sent to the client

[wraith delta]

thanks it works now. is there a better way to read where a map will make its mark, looks like 0/0 was incorrect

Weird it maps from -64 to 63

[young knoll]

It’s aligned to a grid

[gloomy crow]

How to appeal a resource that was removed?

[chrome beacon]

?support

[undone axle]

[e-mail]

[wet breach]

Should probably see why it was removed in the first place

[gloomy crow]

It tells you why

We have looked into it

and wish to correct it

[wet breach]

Then correct the issue and resubmit the resource

That is all there is to it really

[gloomy crow]

It would take a long time to recreate the entire page again

So if it can be reinstated by contacting support I wish to contact them directly through the email

[wet breach]

I think once it is removed it is gone and have to resubmit it. Unfortunate but that is just how it is sometimes

[gloomy crow]

Guess we will find out

😢

[wet breach]

Gives you an opportunity to make it better

[blazing ocean]

what do I put here if I wanna publish a library

it's not a plugin, just a lib for spigot

[wary oyster]

thanks, i guess ill have to learn and understand lambdas and scheduler more tho cuz the lambda part is still sort of a blackbox to me and im not fully understanding what this is doing to run stuff the next tick

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/scheduler-programming/#:~:text=Run a Task the Next Tick

[sly topaz]

lambdas are just syntax sugar for anonymous classes

[wary oyster]

i havent learned what an anonymous class is, is that one that isnt public? like one that cant be acessed everywhere?

[sly topaz]

the above and this:

BlockDisplay blockDisplay = world.spawn(location, BlockDisplay.class, new Consumer<BlockDisplay>() {
    @Override
    public void accept(BlockDisplay display) {
      display.setBlock(block.createBlockData());
      display.setTransformation(INITIAL_TRANSFORM);
      display.setInterpolationDuration(TRANSFORM_DURATION);
    }
});

are essentially the same thing

[wary oyster]

new Consumer<BlockDisplay>() { i guess i have even more learning because this syntax is also new to me

[sly topaz]

and the way that works is that inside the World#spawn method, it'd be used like this:

// actually uses generics but simplified for the sake of explaining it
public BlockDisplay spawn(Location loc, Class<BlockDisplay> entityType, Consumer<BlockDisplay> consumer) {
  BlockDisplay entity = null;
  /* here goes the entity creation logic */
  consumer.accept(entity);
  this.addEntity(entity); // this = World instance
}

[wary oyster]

i have been reading on generics cuz they keep popping up

[wary oyster]

im not sure what im looking at here

that is a new BlockDisplay class?

[sly topaz]

that would be the spawn method inside the World class, just simplified for explaining purposes

[wary oyster]

so like what is actually in the spigot implementation that im not seeing

[sly topaz]

yes

the reason the API gives you a consumer here is so you can do things to the entity before it is added to the world. You create a lambda/function that consumes the entity and does something with it, then the World#spawn method takes that consumer and gives it the entity to work with, then after your modifications the entity would actually be spawned

[wary oyster]

oh that makes sense

its like having a better way to specify what you actually want to spawn

for the entity

[sly topaz]

basically, yeah

[wary oyster]

rather than creating an "empty" entity then adding its attributes after, it modifies it before creation

is what im understanding

[sly topaz]

yes, exactly. You got it

[sly topaz]

on a side note, the new BukkitRunnable() here is also an anonymous class

[wary oyster]

so BlockDisplay.class, display is the class and name it becomes in the expression

[sly topaz]

the class there is actually used to identify which entity to spawn, since the compiler can't know what type of entity you're going to pass there without an actual object to serve as reference

[wary oyster]

ah

[sly topaz]

that's the reason there's also an overload which uses EntityType instead of a Class, they serve the same purpose in this case

[wary oyster]

what does it mean to be an anonymous class?

that it is created in the same way with a consumer?

[sly topaz]

it just means the class doesn't have a namespace

[blazing ocean]

doesn't it also mean that it doesn't have an actual name

*other than the Parent$index thingy

[umbral ridge]

hey

[sly topaz]

well, the name is part of the namespace

[umbral ridge]

how can you find out if the world isnt loaded or if the world doesnt exist?

[sly topaz]

how can a world be loaded if it doesn't exist

[umbral ridge]

but the world can also be unloaded and it theoretically doesnt exist in Bukkit.getWorld

[sly topaz]

right, so it isn't a world, it is just a folder with a world structure at that point

the easy way to go about it would just be walking through the root directory looking for folders with a region.dat file or something

if you have control of when the worlds are unloaded, save the world path somewhere before you unload it, so you can save off looking for the exact path as they may not be in the root folder

[umbral ridge]

if a player tries to teleport to the world that isn't loaded, how can i know if the world actually exists and is not loaded, or if it doesn't exist? but someone could make these folders up.. by creating them in the root directory

and so the logic would fail

[sly topaz]

it isn't possible for the player to teleport to a world that isn't loaded

[umbral ridge]

it is possible because i can load it with WorldCreator

but here's my question

does createWorld() from WorldCreator create the world or load it

and how to know which is which

🚬

hmm

[sly topaz]

If the world already exists, it will be loaded from disk and some options may be ignored.

that's what its javadocs say, so I assume it'll just load it if it already exists

[umbral ridge]

yea most likely but with third party plugins you can unload them

so

[sly topaz]

why does that matter

[umbral ridge]

we're back at the start

[sly topaz]

you need to keep track of what worlds are unloaded yourself, Bukkit won't keep track of them once they're unloaded

so, in WorldUnloadEvent, just add the world name and path to a map and you're good

you may have to write it to a file even

[umbral ridge]

alright

ty

[sly topaz]

I do wonder whether world management plugins like MV keep track of it

[umbral ridge]

yea

and mv also somehow detects worlds that were never loaded.. eg.: if you're trying out a new parkour map and you place it in the root directory

I guess it goes through the world region files or something

[sly topaz]

it does not

it just checks whether the world is one of the listed MV worlds in its config or not

see https://github.com/Multiverse/Multiverse-Core/blob/38f97a81c8ee74e5459e053f97f7de191538f613/src/main/java/com/onarandombox/MultiverseCore/utils/WorldManager.java#L385-L409

if it isn't a MV world but the world is loaded, it asks you to import it through /mv import so it can recognize the world in the future

[umbral ridge]

i see

[sly topaz]

if you are using the plugin though, you can just use MV's API instead so you don't have to keep track of it yourself

[umbral ridge]

this is what i was dealing with

now i just do that instead

[sly topaz]

not related to your issue, but that usage of optionals is kind of weird

you usually want to use the functional utilities instead of dealing with the optional directly, but w/e

[sly topaz]

anyhow, I assume you're loading the home location from the configuration in that getPlayerHome method right?

[umbral ridge]

Optional comes all they way from YamlConfig

eg.:

[sly topaz]

but shouldn't you load that kind of thing when they join, instead of at request? It's pretty non-substantial amount of data so it wouldn't hurt just having it in memory

[umbral ridge]

I think at request is better because they might not always teleport to their home

instead of loading everything at the join event

the data can also change anytime

[sly topaz]

I mean, it is up to you, I'd consider it less troublesome for all the player-related data to be loaded when they join, since in the end home locations wouldn't even amount to 1 KB of memory

then again, the outcome would still be the same, you'd just have more freedom to check whether the world is loaded or not and what to do about it (i.e., preemptively load the world if not loaded)

[umbral ridge]

it's not just homes. there is a lot more

[sly topaz]

are you serializing the Location itself or its fields separatedly (x, y, z, pitch, yaw, world uuid or name)?

iirc if you do serialize the Location, it fails to deserialize when the world isn't loaded right?

if you do serialize its fields instead, then you can just check if the world is loaded, if it isn't then just load it by using the world creator

of course, you'd need a Map<String/UUID, Path> where the key would be the world name/uuid and the path would be the one you use for the WorldCreator instance, in the rare case you use a different location other than the server root directory

[wet breach]

Typically you dont want to be dynamically loading and unloading worlds constantly as it can cause some lag in doing so. This is the primary reason mc at minimum keeps the spawn chunks of worlds loaded.

Also can cause some memory leaks

As for the home stuff just keep it in memory or make a player wrapper for it.

As for detecting if a world gets added to the world directory there is events that can be listened to in regards to directories or files being modified

That come from the jvm. But it also wouldnt be hard to just have some timer task that checks for modifications as well

[worldly ingot]

FileWatcher is a fun one

Oh, sorry, Java calls it WatchService, https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/22/docs/api/java.base/java/nio/file/WatchService.html

[fading drift]

I'm getting java.lang.SecurityException: Invalid signature file digest for Manifest main attributes when using the org.eclipse.jgit library

[wet breach]

Are you shading it?

[fading drift]

should be

do I need <scope>compile</scope> - no that didnt work

[carmine mica]

why did md_5 add 400 new boat class types? This is just setting up another API headache in the future. It would've been better to move away from using Class as unique per entity type and use EntityType instead

[wet breach]

To shade yes however the issue is because it is a signed library. Need to remove the signing and cert of the lib to shade it. Believe there is a plugin that does that for you not sure but typically removing the manifest directory from the lib is usually sufficient

[fading drift]

so quick fix is to just download the jar and remove the signing

and upload locally

[wet breach]

Basically

[fading drift]

thnaks that worked

such a shit fix though

it musnt be shading because I get this error

i sometimes forget java also has Optional since things can also be null

whats better, nullability or optionals

Hey, I have a 1.21 Spigot server compatible with 1.8 and when I try to make a new flat world in 1.8, the world is black and doesn't load, but when I make the world in 1.21, it works for it. Does anyone know how to fix the problem in 1.8 for it?

[orchid trout]

delete system 32 and try again later

[quaint mantle]

you have an error @ the line 32 of your JavaPlugin extender class

[proven jay]

What? As it's not a development problem.

The problem happens in normal Minecraft.

[quaint mantle]

lmao

[wet breach]

Show your pom

[undone plank]

chat i have this line and it's throwing a nullargumentexception cause the file doesn't exist lmao what's the best approach to making a new file

plugin.saveResource("variables.yml", false);

wait nvm i'm fixin it

[summer scroll]

Create the file on your resources folder

[undone plank]

OH THE RESOURCES FOLDER 💀

[summer scroll]

Yes sir

[sly topaz]

do you want to move a file from inside the jar to the plugins folder, or just create an empty variables.yml file in the plugins folder

[undone plank]

the latter

[sly topaz]

then just use the Files API

[undone plank]

you've been typing for 20 minutes @sly topaz

[sly topaz]

private static final String VARIABLES_FILE_NAME = "variables.yml";

/**
* Creates a file in the plugin's data folder
*/
public static Path generateFile(Path path) {
  try {
    var dataPath = plugin.getDataFolder().toPath();
    // just being annoying here, as this only matters in the case the passed path contains relative directories
    dataPath = target.getParent();
    if (dataPath == null) 
      return null;

    if (!Files.exists(dataPath))
      Files.createDirectories(dataPath);

    var target = dataPath.resolve(path);
    
    return Files.createFile(target);
    }
  } catch (IOException ex) {
    if (plugin.debug())
      plugin.getLogger().log(Level.ERROR, "Couldn't write to the plugins data folder, cause: ", ex);
    else
      plugin.getLogger().warning("Something went wrong while trying to create variables.yml; lack of write/read permissions?");
  }
  return null;
}
var file = generateFile(Path.of(VARIABLES_FILE_NAME));

turns out creating a file properly is more annoying than I had expected

I had to test something in jshell lol

[eternal night]

createDirectories does not throw if the dir exists, can just noop it to the front

[sly topaz]

it can throw for the directory permissions scenario

it doesn't happen that often in the context of minecraft servers, but it happens

[eternal night]

I mean, so can all other calls there

[sly topaz]

the only one that would throw for permissions would likely be the ones that write, since I doubt a setup would be that messed up to throw due to lack of permissions to read properties

there's apparently also the case where the directory exists but as a file rather than a directory, in which case createDirectories does throw, but idk how one can fuck that up lol

I guess one could preemptively check for permissions before writing instead of just letting it throw, but eh, it's annoying

[mellow edge]

I have a weird little problem. I want to create my own explosion but I don't know how to detect it that it was that exact explosion. My final goal is to give the player custom damage and knockback (velocity)

I spawn it ofc via World#createExplosion

[smoky anchor]

If you plan on dealing custom damage and kb, why do you need the explosion in the first place ?
Breaking blocks and particles ?

[mellow edge]

yes

did you mean I can rewrite that from scratch too?

[smoky anchor]

Well if you need the blocks, then just use the createExplosion

[wintry dagger]

And listen for the BlockExplodeEvent or EntityExplodeEvent or whatever, loop nearby players I guess is your best solution?

[mellow edge]

probably, because there is an event triggered by it, called EntityDamagedByBlockEvent that doesn't tell me the damager.

[smoky anchor]

You can probably make a little workaround
'Cause I don't think you can spawn an explosion with custom data in any way
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#createExplosion(double,double,double,float,boolean,boolean,org.bukkit.entity.Entity)
Create a very temporary entity (probably a marker entity if you're on that version), then you may be able to check the explosion source entity

[mellow edge]

or even better just make my own explosion implementation from scratch

because I don't want to rely on that

[smoky anchor]

Yeah don't
If you need the blocks and you want them to look the same

It's already quite bad in vanilla and Spigots block manipulation will make it even slower.

[mellow edge]

so I can:
-explode block in some radius
-spawn needed particles
-damage players if in given radius
-and give then custom kb

[lilac dagger]

what do you get when listening to netty before mojang transforms them into their own packets?

i wanna listen to a packet before using mojang's api, i wonder if i can skip a few steps this way

[chrome beacon]

You get a bytebuf

with the data in it

You can read wiki.vg on the packet structure and how to read certain datatypes from it

[lilac dagger]

but i think wiki only contains the structure for latest no?

[chrome beacon]

It has a version history you can look at

[lilac dagger]

ah awesome

[chrome beacon]

Do note the older you go the worse the docs get

[lilac dagger]

i only need 1.17+

also, is this worth it?

https://pastebin.com/SWMyB57V

i'm using sockets to send a json back and forth

and it can get larger, so i was wondering if compressing it is a good idea

[upper hazel]

Is it possible to get Id of some block, door, fence from mod through plugin?

for example get string id

[young knoll]

We don’t support hybrid servers

[upper hazel]

I'm asking about the technicalities involved with spigot.

[young knoll]

Spigot can’t run mods

Therefor if you are running mods either spigot you are using some sort of hybrid fork that adds their own APIs

[upper hazel]

spigot/bukkit api has method for get string id from block?

[young knoll]

No

[upper hazel]

dem

i not can getting string material id? Only "enum"?

[lilac dagger]

material.name()

or material.ordinal();

[young knoll]

Or getKey

[lilac dagger]

or that

[young knoll]

But this assumes the fork injects modded materials into the enum

[waxen acorn]

that is preferred

[waxen acorn]

it is known that almost hybrids do that

[mortal hare]

honestly when i think about it Skript as a whole is not a bad concept

sure its a bloat on top of already existing java runtime

but no one's stopping the community to create Skripts which work across bedrock and java

[shadow night]

That's an interesting idea

[mortal hare]

basically cross compatible plugins

[shadow night]

Using it as an abtraction from programming language?

[mortal hare]

yea

Basically you use Skript syntax and build Skript runtimes based on the server architecture

just like JDK

[shadow night]

So, skript that works on:
Spigot (and derivatives)
Forge (and derivatives)
Fabric (and derivatives)
Bedrock (dunno what software there is for that)
And stuff like that?

[mortal hare]

Kinda yeah

we have datapacks but they're kinda limiting

also on bedrock there's dedicated scripting api

but that's specific to bedrock only

[shadow night]

Yeah I know

Js

Wrote some behaviour packs in the past

[mortal hare]

building Skript runtimes on top of already existing codebases, like if you're running Spigot you're using Spigot SkRE, if you're using Bedrock you use Bedrock SkRE, if you're running sponge you use Sponge SkRE etc etc

i would even go as far as not using bukkit or sponge api's altogether and hook it directly to NMS

[upper hazel]

what obaut blockData

[mortal hare]

the problem i can currently see is with bedrock is that its not completely in par with Java edition but that gaps is closing real fast

[upper hazel]

scripts this is like mod ?

[shadow night]

You can probably still make it work, somewhat

[mortal hare]

Skript is a plugin for Bukkit API based server software which allows you to write very human readable interpreted .sk scripts dedicated for controlling server's behaviour

basically programming language of minecraft's server functionality

for example

command /gmc:
    permission: tutorial.creative
    permission message: &cYou do not have permission to use this command 
    trigger:
        set player's gamemode to creative 
        send "&aYour gamemode has been set to creative." to player

[upper hazel]

you mean addons?

[mortal hare]

no

[upper hazel]

im confused

[mortal hare]

its completely different language

[upper hazel]

how write scripts

for bukkit

[mortal hare]

you install Skript plugin in spigot

then add your .sk script in plugins/Skript directory

./skript reload all

voila

you made a script

[mortal hare]

this is a skript

[upper hazel]

this is like addons

[mortal hare]

not sure what you call addons but whatever

its an old thing

it existed since at least 2011 iirc

its still very contraversial part of minecraft server community, as devs despise people writing them

since they treat such scripts as a kid's version of plugins

[blazing ocean]

skript is finee for really small stuff

but then seeing people make bigass minecraft events & servers with it

fucking hurts my soul

and then wonder why it's slow

and then have like a trillion skript reflect usages

[mortal hare]

but i think its not so bad as people might call it because having universal language to control the server is not inherently bad

its just gets bad rep because there's no cross platform support, so you cant really do cross compatible scripts with it

[upper hazel]

i see now. In russian this calls "addons". I have seen such cases when developing plugins

but this is a very rare thing in the server

I never found a use for them

[dry hazel]

the skript anticheat

[mortal hare]
