[fading drift]

this shit is all brand new to me and I hate how I don't instantly get it

[sly topaz]

I mean, system design isn't easy to get on the first go, I can ultimately tell you what to do on a high level but that won't help you with the implementation details and all the gotchas around this

the goal is clear though, have a system which you can easily retrieve and store data across a network

depending on the amount of information you're planning to share, the ways to go about it will vary

if it is simple information like you're trying to do right now, maybe a database and a redis cache is overkill, using sockets would do

however if you plan to share a lot of information across the network, you'll ultimately stumble upon all of this anyway so may as well suffer now

[fading drift]

fair enoughj

I'm having such an annoying issue

I have this class used to check names from my velocity plugin

        this.getServer().getMessenger()
                .registerIncomingPluginChannel(this, "xincraft:getname", nameChecker);```

its initialised like this

yet this never prints

    @Override
    public void onPluginMessageReceived(String channel, Player player, byte[] message) {
        System.out.println("Received message on channel: " + channel + ": " + Arrays.toString(message));```

however velocity literally says it prints

                boolean successful = sendPluginMessageToBackendUsingPlayer(player, MinecraftChannelIdentifier.create("xincraft", "getname"), byteArray.toByteArray());
                System.out.println("Sent player name to backend: " + successful);```

[22:30:29 INFO]: Sent player name to backend: true

wait I think im sending to the wrong server

I'm sending it to the player who was found not the one who requested

[slender elbow]

you need to send it to the player's server, not the player client

[fading drift]

I thought thats what I did

    public boolean sendPluginMessageToBackendUsingPlayer(Player player, ChannelIdentifier identifier, byte[] data) {
        Optional<ServerConnection> connection = player.getCurrentServer();
        // On success, returns true
        return connection.map(serverConnection -> serverConnection.sendPluginMessage(identifier, data)).orElse(false);
    }```

I think I'm just sending to the wrong server

holy shit I am

whoopsie

[slender elbow]

true

[quaint mantle]

how do you get the weight of a player's luckperms group?

[young knoll]

Get their user instance, get primary group, then use that to get the group object and use getWeight

[quaint mantle]

what is the user instance?

[sly topaz]

https://luckperms.net/wiki/Developer-API-Usage#obtaining-a-user-instance

[quaint mantle]

How can I delete a new scoreboard registered on the server?

[sly topaz]

you mean ones created by ScoreboardManager#newScoreboard?

[quaint mantle]

getNewScoreboard()

[sly topaz]

yeah, those aren't really registered to the server, if you want to remove it then just set the player's scoreboard back to the main scoreboard or to some other scoreboard

that also means you'll have to store them on your own

[quaint mantle]

okey thanks!

[nova quail]

Is sending message to players and all chat stuff async?

[worthy yarrow]

iirc yes?

[nova quail]

Thanks

[floral fern]

There is a better way to test my plugins instead compile it everytime and insert into plugin folder of my server?

[worthy yarrow]

Hotswapping but uh not really recommended

[kind prairie]

Sadly no :/

[floral fern]

Hm, okay. Also if I will create a configuration file I can use File.createNewFile()? Or must I use saveResource()?

[shadow night]

Better than /reload kek

[worthy yarrow]

well yeah kek

[kind prairie]

Lol

[sly topaz]

you can create it however you want

personally I recommend Files.createDirectories then Files.createFile

[floral fern]

Yeah, I don't see much difference between the functions. Only the "overwrite" parameter

[sly topaz]

hotswapping

[blazing ocean]

How is it not recommended?

[floral fern]

I mean, I am talking about the File object it self

Oh I can't send images

[blazing ocean]

?img

[undone axle]

Can't send images? That's because you're not verified! Use !verify to complete verification.
Alternatively, you can upload screenshots to any image hosting site and share the link.

Here's some screenshot utilities that you can use to upload images.
Lightshot: https://prnt.sc
Imgur: https://imgur.com/upload
Flameshot: https://flameshot.org

[floral fern]

K one sec

[worthy yarrow]

It's not as stable or safe... I never got into the hotswapping I still restart my server every time I recompile kek

[sly topaz]

wdym

you can just create a FileConfiguration afterwards

[floral fern]

Ah

[blazing ocean]

It's pretty safe and somewhat stable using HSA and/or JBR

[worldly ingot]

JavaPlugin provides you with a File object so you're probably best using it instead of NIO

[floral fern]

I need a spigot account

[blazing ocean]

Or just use an image hosting site

[worthy yarrow]

Idk ig I'm just a rebel

[sly topaz]

File#toPath and Path#toFile ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[floral fern]

Ima create it later but this the code line:

final File configFile = new File(JokingHouse.MAIN_PLUGIN.getDataFolder(), name)
if (configFile.createNewFile()) {
  return configFile;
}

[blazing ocean]

You've always been

[worthy yarrow]

Damn straight

[sly topaz]

but I agree, I just personally prefer the NIO APIs where possible

[sly topaz]

you need to create the data folder too

[floral fern]

So, like, instead repeat or creating a variable for MAIN_PLUGIN to call saveResource I just use configFile.createNewFile()

(Sorry if I take to long to give a response slow connection)

[sly topaz]

var configFile = new File(JokingHouse.MAIN_PLUGIN.getDataFolder(), name);
if (configFile.exists() || (configFile.getParentFile().mkdirs() && configFile.createNewFile()))
  return configFile;

I hate that tbh

var configFile = new File(JokingHouse.MAIN_PLUGIN.getDataFolder(), name);
if (configFile.exists())
  return configFile;

var parent = configFile.getParentFile();
if (!parent.exists())
  parent.mkdirs();
if (configFile.createNewFile())
  return configFile;

[clear elm]

@rough drift how tf can i use ur lifesteal plugin

it automaticly delets from the plugin folder

[river oracle]

💀 idk why that just seems like something malware would do

Your PC okay mate?

[clear elm]

me?

[floral fern]

This is what I did, I think I can improve is btw

private YamlConfiguration createNewConfigFile(String name) throws FailedToCreateSettingsFile {
        final File configFile = new File(JokingHouse.MAIN_PLUGIN.getDataFolder(), name);

        try {
            if (configFile.getParentFile().mkdirs() && configFile.createNewFile())
                return YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(configFile);
        } catch (IOException exception) {
            throw new FailedToCreateSettingsFile();
        }
        
        return null;
    }

    public YamlConfiguration getConfigFile(String name) throws FailedToCreateSettingsFile {
        final File configFile = new File(JokingHouse.MAIN_PLUGIN.getDataFolder(), name);

        if (configFile.exists())
            return YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(configFile);
        
        return createNewConfigFile(name);
    }

[rough drift]

nope it's by design, it moves itself to the right folder if it notices it is in the wrong one

[clear elm]

does it work with paper too?

[rough drift]

it goes inside of Helix/plugins, you should really use my support discord for this

[clear elm]

couldnt find it

[rough drift]

Try it, if it works, great! If not, don't come crying to me

[clear elm]

for me it dont works i uploaded helix and lifesteal plugin but id dont wors

[rough drift]

well, then it doesn't work

you should at least use #help-server

[clear elm]

mb

sorry

[river oracle]

I'd go to his support server kekw

[clear elm]

invite me to ur support server please

[tranquil ferry]

hey can i promote my plugin in a thread by making something as why should u use / compariosn / wiki / showcase

any smort ones here?

[pure dagger]

you cant put like 60 * 60 in yml right? as int

[tranquil ferry]

No

[river oracle]

You could but you'd then have to parse the string into an integer

[tranquil ferry]

import it as string use split and then make it int

[river oracle]

You can do so by making a math parser

[pure dagger]

okay no, i was just asking if it can be int

[tranquil ferry]

No it cant

[pure dagger]

thanks

[river oracle]

Easiest type to make is recursive descent

[pure dagger]

what

[tranquil ferry]

recursive descent

[young knoll]

Or just use an existing parser

Like Crunch

[pure dagger]

if i am not supposted to do static methods then i should do DI always?

[rough drift]

@tardy delta cmhere

enlighten us with your funny parser

[tranquil ferry]

anyone could guide me here

dont wanna get myself banned

hehe

[rough drift]

if it's cool enough sure, you can also just ask for feedback on it in #1100941063058894868 or for feature-related feedback (make a thread in #general), should be fine

just don't spam it and take it more as "look at this cool thing I made, what do you think about it" instead of "I made xyz plugin for just €9.99 buy now!1!!!"

[tranquil ferry]

i meant in spigot website

[rough drift]

idk about that ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tranquil ferry]

thanks for trying

./ping staff

[pure dagger]

idk whats that

[tranquil ferry]

google it bud

[pure dagger]

okay

[tranquil ferry]

its eaz stuff

[pure dagger]

oh seemscool

[worthy yarrow]

google searches are even producing code snippets now

[lilac dagger]

google doesn't wanna lose the programmers

[worthy yarrow]

Google interview:
Question 1:

"How do you fix xyz"

googles it and shows them code snippet produced by said search

[lilac dagger]

you're hired

otherwise no, try again

actually we we'll call you

[worthy yarrow]

proceed to say, "I thought google had all the answers"

[rough drift]

I found the piece of code not checking for the correct interfaces

[worthy yarrow]

https://tenor.com/view/free-guy-captain-america-what-the-shit-what-the-turd-gif-23493958

Embed failure?

nice

[lilac dagger]

based on the naming, it seems very user error prone

[pure dagger]

why is this all uppercase what is taht

?di

[undone axle]

Guide to dependency injection: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-dependency-injection/

[lilac dagger]

it's probably an int somewhere above

java library has the same issue in some places

[peak depot]

what was the name of that command api/framework everybody uses

[lilac dagger]

brigadier?

or cloud framework

that i hear about

[peak depot]

nah so you could do @SubCommand("addPlayer") etc

[lilac dagger]

annotation based hmm

i can't think of any

[eternal oxide]

acf

[peak depot]

yeah thats it thanks

[pure dagger]

if i have a class only with methods that can be static, (but you say that static is bad), should i make instance of it everytime or what?

[eternal oxide]

if its stateless then static is fine

[pure dagger]

what does it mean?

stateless

[eternal oxide]

https://www.baeldung.com/java-stateless-object

[pure dagger]

okay

[quaint mantle]

Static variable that doesn't change

[pure dagger]

so like im having methods to do something to a player, or turn amount of seconds as int to a timer as string , like 140 would be 00:02:20

and then its static

[eternal oxide]

utility methods

[pure dagger]

its stateless

[eternal oxide]

static is fine

[pure dagger]

so its ok

do you know a good way to manage cooldowns?

like a map with UUID and Long which is milliseconds

[chrome beacon]

That's a fine way of doing it

[pure dagger]

i always do it my way but its messy when its more cooldowns

[chrome beacon]

but if you want it to stay in sync with the rest of the server you can store the time in ticks

depends on the usecase really

[pure dagger]

i make a class, which has the map of <UUID, Long>, it has methods like hasCooldown(Player player), getCooldown(Player player), addCooldown(Player player),
when i add coldown i just put the uuid and system.currenttimemillis + cooldown, in the getCooldown method i check if the difference between the value from map and system.currenttimemillis is <= 0, then i remove and return 0, and hasCooldown just returns getCooldown() == 0

but if i want to make the cooldown time configurable i would probably need to do it like that: to map i add time when the cooldown was added, not time when cooldown will end, and then in getCooldown() method i would check if System.currentTimeMillis() >= value from map + cooldown

umm sorry for message that long

but

[river oracle]

generally unless you have a good reason not to store time in ticks

the entire server operates on that model

[pure dagger]

okay so just replace system.currenttime with ticks etc

but will it work when plugin restarts?

[river oracle]

best way to approach this is to use a BukkitTask that runs every tick

[pure dagger]

because then if its a long cooldown like 4h, i store it in config

[river oracle]

and ticks down over time

or you could store it in PDC or even better a proper database

[pure dagger]

but then user has to connect databse?

[river oracle]

I'd opt for PDC here, but considering bukkit does a deep copy on ItemMeta that'd be performance suicide

[river oracle]

SQLite

it is good for up to millions of entries theres no reason to avoid it

[pure dagger]

where is it stored

the data

[river oracle]

its a flat file

SQLite is a flat file database

the connection is just your plugin maintaining a lock file with the database

[pure dagger]

lock file?

[river oracle]

perhaps this is a good opprotunity to learn about databases

use SQLite and have some fun, I would reccomend not coming here for help with SQLite and trying to give it a go on your own

if you're absolutely desperate you can always come here for help, but there's so much joy in figuring it out yourself

pretty much everything above is juts technical jargan, but put simply SQLite is stored in a file you don't need to worry about having a server for it

[sly topaz]

a database for a cooldown is crazy

[river oracle]

I mean true, but you have to persist it somehow and ItemMeta is way to expensive to store it in

[sly topaz]

just store it in a file

[pseudo hazel]

I mean, depends on the length of the cooldown

[eternal oxide]

depends the type of cooldown

[pure dagger]

😵‍💫

[river oracle]

I suppose you could use JSON, but I wouldn't use YAML

[sly topaz]

it really doesn't matter

[pseudo hazel]

yeah

use .txt

[pure dagger]

i dont get it

[river oracle]

.csv 😄

[pure dagger]

does it matter or not

[pseudo hazel]

no

why would it matter

[eternal oxide]

it all depends how many cooldowns you are storing, how often you are changing them.

[river oracle]

there are plenty of options, personally I'd go with SQLite or Json depending on what we're dealing with

[pure dagger]

do i have to acces the database or the file every time i want to do something with cooldowns, or can i store it in my plugin and on disable save it to file or database, or something like that

[sly topaz]

just use bukkit's configuration api if you don't want to overcomplicate it

[sly topaz]

either way is fine

[pure dagger]

isnt it like

[eternal oxide]

Not enough details to tell if you shoudl read directly

[pure dagger]

bad to acces a cooldown every time, it can be really often, player can spam something or idk

[sly topaz]

it depends on how critical you think the data is, i.e., if you want it to persist through crashes

[pseudo hazel]

you dont read it every time

[pure dagger]

if its an item with cooldown, you have to check it every time player tries to use it

[sly topaz]

databases are really fast

[river oracle]

well that and you'd want to cache anyways otherwise you'll crash your server lmao

[pseudo hazel]

use a map for local data and then save it to a file if something changes

[river oracle]

either way you'll have a cache

[paper viper]

Use the cooldown item component

[sly topaz]

oh that exists too

[eternal oxide]

Never access a db on the main thread. so If your code requires the data in the same tick you need to cache it

[river oracle]

that ^

[pseudo hazel]

yeah in 1.21.3+

[river oracle]

I forgot its on ItemStacks now

[paper viper]

Why are yall

Databases

Breh

[sly topaz]

that's what I was saying lol

[pseudo hazel]

I mean instead of a database you could also just use pdc

[river oracle]

PDC is far too heavy

[pure dagger]

i feell like everyone is saying different things

[river oracle]

ItemMeta is a deep copy

[blazing ocean]

hashmap frf

[sly topaz]

wdym it is far too heavy

[paper viper]

What version are you

For API

[pseudo hazel]

too heavy for what

[pure dagger]

but im not talking about only items

[blazing ocean]

You know paper has ItemStack#getPersistentDataContainer which doesn't clone IM-

[karmic phoenix]

Hey everyone, I don't really wanna interrupt y'all, but I need help with something, that might be considered basic by some, so it should be quick, I've looked for a solution but couldn't find any. I can create a thread if you're willing to help.

[eternal oxide]

They are becausew you have given almost zero info, so everyone is just guessing what you are doing

[pure dagger]

you mean version of plugin

[paper viper]

API version

[pure dagger]

sorry ;c

[river oracle]

well they also have a proper copmonent API now

[pseudo hazel]

then maybe just explain what you do want?

[sly topaz]

that's because there are multiple different ways to go about it, you should go with the one you find the simplest

[pseudo hazel]

all projects go wrong because of wrong requirements

[pure dagger]

i have more examples, lets say there is cooldown for using an item, and every time player clicks you have to check if they have cooldown or not

[paper viper]

If you are using items, I’d recommend the item cooldown component because it also adds a nice animation for the client, but it’s only 1.21.3+

[sly topaz]

personally that'd be either the item cooldown component or PDC, I am unsure why Miles believes it is too heavy but you can just change it up when your server scales enough for that to become a problem anyway

[pseudo hazel]

thats still an item

what else would have this cooldown

[pure dagger]

maybe typing in chat, or something not related to items

5 seconds

okay but then you dont have to save this

[pseudo hazel]

right

you just need to define what you actually want to use these cooldowns for

[karmic phoenix]

Sent it when the chat went a bit crazy, sorry, I'm replying to it in case you've missed it.

[eternal night]

PDC performance depends on what item you are checking that on

[pseudo hazel]

make the right tool for the right job

[eternal night]

if its a stick with nothing on it, w/e

if its a shulker box with a shit ton of items in it, ehh

[pure dagger]

i had a plugin with opening chests, i was storing players, and every player has a map of <ChestLocation, Cooldown>

i mean cooldown to open chests

it was actually playerinteractevent not opening chests but yes

[pseudo hazel]

so are you trying to find a solution for all cooldowns or like what are you trying to do right now

[paper viper]

Yeah we have no idea

[pseudo hazel]

?ask

[undone axle]

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

[pure dagger]

im lost 😭

[eternal oxide]

Your chests have a cooldown for opening?

[pseudo hazel]

find what you are trying to ask in the first place

[pure dagger]

yes, but its actually player interact event and you open a custom inventory for a player

[eternal oxide]

then the Chest itself shoudl have a map of player uuid and coldown

[pseudo hazel]

and then think about the edge cases and situations you need this system for

and then come up with a question to ask how something like that could be done

[eternal oxide]

it shoudl be on each chest not on the player

[pure dagger]

where to store it ?

[eternal oxide]

pdc

[river oracle]

Chest has PDC

[pure dagger]

what if you destroy it and place again

[pseudo hazel]

then you can open it again...

[eternal oxide]

then its a different chest

[pseudo hazel]

if you destroy a chest all contents will spill out

[river oracle]

you can always copy the PDC to the Item too

if you want to

PersistentDatacontainer#copyTo

[pure dagger]

thats bad, because i wanted to like store the locations more, not the chests

[pseudo hazel]

then store it per player

[eternal oxide]

location shoudl be irrelevant

[pure dagger]

there are no contents because i said its actually playerinteractevent which opens custom inventory, for each player its different and chest is empty

[pseudo hazel]

okay

same answer then

[eternal oxide]

Still pdc on the chest

[pseudo hazel]

why

[pure dagger]

but still chests can be destroyed and placed again, i think that my entire approach is bad, so doing the cooldown is harder

[karmic phoenix]

HashMap communication.

[eternal oxide]

If its location specific and not chest specific you sould store it in teh chunk pdc

[pure dagger]

oh there is such thing

[eternal oxide]

if you are allowing the chest to be broken, why are you doing a cooldown?

[pseudo hazel]

sounds like the cooldown should be on the inventory

[karmic phoenix]

I've created a thread. #1308481617454436414

[split tinsel]

How do you get a player's connection with NMS in version 1.21, for some reason the playerConnection variable is not showing up

[pure dagger]

there is one created every time you open, if i understood

[pseudo hazel]

then dont

keep it

and reopen it

I mean this is all depending on everything else you already have

[pure dagger]

so clear it every time?

[river oracle]

ServerPlayer#connection

[pseudo hazel]

why would it be cleared every time

[blazing ocean]

var craft = (CraftPlayer) player;
var nms = craft.getHandle();
nms.connection // or .c or some shit if you're using obf

[eternal oxide]

however an inventory is not persistent so you are now back to the opriginal issue of saving data

[split tinsel]

thx

[pure dagger]

because i need that, thats why i create new inventory, put there some items, and if player closes it its GONE

[pseudo hazel]

and so using a file is the best

[pure dagger]

jees

[pure dagger]

file?

yml?

or

[pseudo hazel]

whatever

yml is easiest

[pure dagger]

can we make a thread?

or maybe not

[pseudo hazel]

you could

but i gtg

[pure dagger]

what about this?

[eternal oxide]

yes thats optional

[pure dagger]

i think file is just the best

[eternal oxide]

IF your chests are always in teh same place

[split tinsel]

Truly an NMS moment of all time

[blazing ocean]

That's a spigot name

[split tinsel]

what they done renamed it to now

[eternal night]

https://mappings.dev

[blazing ocean]

[eternal night]

you are (hopefully) using mojang mappings ^

[split tinsel]

Oh wait im dumb

[pure dagger]

i mean, there are values in config (locations of chests), and when player right clicks a chest, you check if the chest has the location, then check the cooldown to that location, umm idk how to do that better, i feel this is stupid

[split tinsel]

ClientboundRemoveEntitiesPacket

there we go

Do I just pass the entity id of the item to it?

[pure dagger]

i probably should start putting my code here

[eternal night]

yes

[pure dagger]

so you can say whats wrong

[pure dagger]

if its a method wchich returns values from config, can it be static? but it needs to have an instance of Main, because it needs to get the config, is static ok or not?

[split tinsel]

Is this correct

public class CustomItemManager {
    public HashMap<Integer, Player> clientSidedItems = new HashMap<>();

    public Item dropClientSidedItem(Location location, Player player, ItemStack itemStack) {
        Item item = location.getWorld().dropItemNaturally(location, itemStack);

        Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().stream().filter(p -> !(p == player)).forEach(p -> {
            ((CraftPlayer) p).getHandle().connection.sendPacket(new ClientboundRemoveEntitiesPacket(item.getEntityId()));
        });
        
        clientSidedItems.put(item.getEntityId(), player);
        
        return item;
    }
}

[eternal oxide]

If you pass an instance its stateless. If you hold it in the class you need it to be a singleton so not really stateless so shoudl not be static

Hello, I'm looking for an equivalent of this following NPC path finder goal (written before nms remapping) how can I use the entity navigation component to make it follow a player for example? I can't find much information on the remapping version of NMS 1.21.1 so I'm a bit lost

and the tick method too ^^

[chrome beacon]

https://mappings.dev/

Convert the mappings

[blazing ocean]

what are those comments 😭

[neat wolf]

not mine code x)

[pure dagger]

an instance of Main?

[neat wolf]

thank ! which package does contains the navigation ?

[blazing ocean]

use the search ba

[eternal night]

could just

world.dropItemNaturally(loc, itemstack, i -> {
    i.setVisibleByDefault(false);
    player.showEntity(plugin, i);
});

[split tinsel]

wait thats a thing?

but won't the item still be able to be picked up by other players as its only hidden and not destroyed?

Can’t other players pick up the item even if it is destroyed for their client

[eternal night]

Pretty sure pickup logic is server side anyway

yea

[young knoll]

I assume that’s a server side thing

[blazing ocean]

It is

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Item.html#setOwner(java.util.UUID)

[young knoll]

Does vanilla actually use that at all

Or is it solely for content creators

[eternal night]

it does

e.g. give command drops

or advancement rewards

[young knoll]

Interesting

[eternal night]

would be pretty ass if your inventory is full, your get an advcancemnt and someone else grabs it

[river oracle]

I think it'd be pretty great personally

I'm a leech on society so

[young knoll]

Swoop in with the elytra and yoink it

Flyby robbery

[river oracle]

gimme your loot

[young knoll]

Hmm, working with a ChunkSource directly doesn’t seem fun

[remote swallow]

get ur own trial key

[young knoll]

And moonrise doesn’t help

[river oracle]

I'm 1 year better than you at coding

[river oracle]

spigot should integrate moonrise

[remote swallow]

you took a break

[river oracle]

true between 2020 and 2021 I did

still means I'm 1 year better

[remote swallow]

your much more of a nerd

[river oracle]

says the guy who is in "cute"

[remote swallow]

i have cat ears you dont

[river oracle]

nerd behavior

[remote swallow]

nuhuh

[river oracle]

uhhuh

I HATE COLL1234567

[remote swallow]

NO

YOU CANT SAY THAT

[young knoll]

Blah, I need to figure out an efficient way to merge a bunch of small bounding boxes

[river oracle]

what's he gonna do ban me???

[remote swallow]

yeah

[river oracle]

oh :(

[remote swallow]

hes a cool1234567 guy

[river oracle]

isn't their a tree like structure you can use

octtree or whatever

@young knoll check this one out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octree

[remote swallow]

thats how the simulation works

[young knoll]

I need to merge them not group them

The merged boxes shouldn’t contain any space that wasn’t part of the original boxes

[river oracle]

oh

can oyu merge them by doing like O(N) finding mins and maxes of the given boxes

or depending what you can do is if you can detect a bounding box is being made alongside another one or something

[young knoll]

Tbf arbitrary structures probably don’t boil down to that few bounding boxes anyway

Maybe I should just store a bitset for the entire space and flip bits that are occupied

My use case is dungeon generation (again)

If I was working with only rectangular rooms I could just use a single large bounding box, but that doesn’t work when rooms are arbitrary shapes

I either need to subdivide the rooms into multiple boxes or I need to have a way to do precise block-block collision checks fully async

[lilac dagger]

finding the min and max of the space?

that would be a cuboid no?

[umbral ridge]

hey how often does weather change in minecraft? random? or is it on some specific interval

[lilac dagger]

specific interval

oh, weather is probably random

there's a timer for when it will change

[umbral ridge]

because now that i synchronized the server time with realtime i also need to take care of the weather. probably handle it myself... i'm making a forecast for weather in minecraft after this if i succeed XD

[lilac dagger]

you just need to edit the interval and you're set

[umbral ridge]

i could also get some apis and change the weather based on how it is in real life

yea

[young knoll]

You could just disable vanilla weather changes

And handle it yourself

[native nexus]

Do plugins need to be open source?

[umbral ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-no-way-gif-24547692

[young knoll]

No but they should be :p

[pseudo hazel]

if its not opensource its just weak

[umbral ridge]

if plugins were open source and published one some site with high traffic.. people would judge every tiny bit of the code that isn't up to their expectations. the world is full of people who browse github just to judge code XD

[alpine urchin]

the questions is a bit flawed, but what are you getting at @native nexus

[lilac dagger]

people just don't like my code

[native nexus]

How is it flawed, it’s a yes or no answer.

[native nexus]

The answer is no…?

[pseudo hazel]

yeah

[native nexus]

No need to make me sound stupid… “flawed”

Cut with the bs

[pseudo hazel]

its not flawed

[native nexus]

But I like reading peoples code 😭😂

[pseudo hazel]

the answer is that you do not have to put it open source

but its highly encouraged

and there is really no reason not to

[young knoll]

I mean technically GPL

But that isn’t enforced so

[pseudo hazel]

okay let me rephrase my answer then

[native nexus]

Yeah if it’s not licensed then I guess you don’t

[alpine urchin]

well you're making assumptions, calling your question flawed is not the same as "making you sound stupid". i'm highlighting that you might be referring to a different question, which would understandably be more complex.

[pseudo hazel]

I think you need to be able to show the source to people

spigot plugins are licensed with gpl

whether you like it or not xD

[native nexus]

Well it felt condescending because I don’t know you and you instantly reply with my question not being a good one. It’s just a yes or no answer, I didn’t need you to tell me how to phrase my question.

[alpine urchin]

Yes, GPL does apply, however if your understanding of GPL is that it "forces you to become open source" then that's an oversimplification of the entire license, and would lead us to misunderstand the license.

so, open source necessary, no, follow the license? yes.

that's why the question could have been phrased more clear

[native nexus]

You could have easily said, did you mean something else?

[pseudo hazel]

welcome to the world of anti social developers

[native nexus]

Yeah clearly….

Sorry I am not on your level

Sorry you have to always be right

[alpine urchin]

you're arguing semantics here, a dictionary definition of "flawed" is imperfection, so being near perfect might be a complement.

lol cmon man

it's not that deep

[lilac dagger]

i bet you both missunderstood each other lol

[native nexus]

Sorry I have feelings

[alpine urchin]

i think this is a very kind question im asking back

it's not that deep

i said a bit flawed

"but what are you getting at (what are you asking)"

[umbral ridge]

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

[alpine urchin]

lol

[umbral ridge]

this is like asking someone.. i have an apple. is apple good? as in fruit
and then they would ask you all sort of questions about it. referring to retrooper

[native nexus]

Please stop

[sly topaz]

have you looked at something like seidel's algorithm to decompose the polygons

that's the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to what you've described

there's other ways to go about it but eh, they're all very complex algorithms on their own lol

[young knoll]

I shall look into that

Currently leaning towards the bitset solution

[plucky peak]

okay so

im making

uh

a plugin for beta 1.7.3

and im

BRO

STOP 😭

im making a plugin for beta 1.7.3

and im trying to detect deaths

[sly topaz]

should be fast and sufficiently moderate for something like dungeon gen so I would say it is fine

[plucky peak]

but it wont let me

[alpine urchin]

?

who u saying stop to lol

[plucky peak]

some kid was reacting with like emojis

[sly topaz]

Not a single person can help you creating plugins for beta 1.7.3

[plucky peak]

everytime i sent a new message

[plucky peak]

i got some stuff working bro

only commands

i added /msg and /list

[alpine urchin]

howcome you are working with 1.7.3?

[plucky peak]

trying to add funny death messages

[sly topaz]

you'd rather just use cursed legacy fabric instead of bukkit or hmod, whatever was available for that version

[alpine urchin]

?

[plucky peak]

my friends hate new minecraft

[alpine urchin]

lmao

[plucky peak]

so i bought a beta server for us to play on

or not my friends just barteek

[young knoll]

If the death events didn’t exist back then

Then you’re out of luck there

[plucky peak]

damn

uhhhh

[sly topaz]

https://minecraft-cursed-legacy.github.io/

[eternal oxide]

damage event probably existed

[plucky peak]

i mean like

[sly topaz]

your best shot at doing anything in that version

[plucky peak]

there is a death message plugin

i looked through its source code

but i couldnt understand

anything

[eternal oxide]

learn java moment

[plucky peak]

i know java bruh 😭

[remote swallow]

did you use a decompiler or just open a .class file

[plucky peak]

jdec.app

[eternal oxide]

then there is no way you would not be able to work out how to track a death WHIT the source of a death message plugin

[plucky peak]

ok well

i

took some code from it

and it didnt really

[sly topaz]

eh, decompiled obfuscated code is harsh

[plucky peak]

work

[eternal oxide]

too
many

[plucky peak]

it forced me to use their like weird

[young knoll]

Did people even know how to obfuscated back then

[plucky peak]

class

[eternal oxide]

presses of enter

[sly topaz]

sparkagabagoo, can you stop pressing enter

it is driving me nuts

[plucky peak]

okay

[sly topaz]

sorry for being harsh it is just a pet peeve of mine

[plucky peak]

yeah bro this plugin is forcing me to use its like weird code bruh

[tall dragon]

why?
isnt
this
a
nice
way to
read messages?

[sly topaz]

I mean, MCP existed so I assume

[eternal oxide]

HeroicDeathListener looks like the code you want to look at

[plucky peak]

this is like the closest thing i got to like event stuff

[young knoll]

Looks like an older version of the event system

[plucky peak]

yea it is

im making a plugin for beta 1.7.3 bruh

[young knoll]

Seems pretty simple

[plucky peak]

WAIT

[young knoll]

Event type, listener, priority, plugin

[plucky peak]

YES

but i put this in my code already

and it did nothing

let me try this again bruh

[umbral ridge]

HeroicDeathEvent is a custom wrapper class

[plucky peak]

heroicdeathevent is some weird

can i swear on here?

[pseudo hazel]

yes

just dont be a jerk

[plucky peak]

should this not work?

ok i know my code is

[upper hazel]

what better 1 bukkit task or many

[plucky peak]

JUST DONT WORRY ABOUT MY CODE

ok i mean that other script doesnt have

uhm

@EventHandler

so maybe i should remove that?

[young knoll]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have no idea how that event system determined what method is the listener

[eternal oxide]

what version of spigot are you coding for?

[plucky peak]

beta 1.7.3 🥶

[shadow night]

Oh damn, prehistoric times

Even before our event system

[plucky peak]

oh wait

this.plugin.recordDeath

[young knoll]

?howold b1.7.3

[undone axle]

https://howoldisminecraft.today/b1.7.3

[young knoll]

Hey it’s old enough to use discord

[shadow night]

It is lol

[plucky peak]

the hell does that mean

[young knoll]

Idk, probably used to record the death

[remote swallow]

look at what record death is in the plugin

totally believe u know java too

[young knoll]

You’ve only shown small snippets of the code so we can’t really tell what it’s doing

[eternal oxide]

link me a copy of the HD plugin you are looking at

or drop in channel

[plucky peak]

why are we making fun of me

what

[remote swallow]

wait, elgarl?!? https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/heroicdeathplus

[young knoll]

lol

[eternal oxide]

lol I wrote it 😛

[plucky peak]

yea help me find out how to detect deaths on beta pls

dude this setup is so scuffed man

im using intellij and made a plugin using the 1.12.2 preset thing

[remote swallow]

this sounds kinda crazy

maybe you should update

[plucky peak]

yea bro

my friends hate new minecraft

[eternal oxide]

there is no 1.7.3 version up there

only 1.6.2

[plucky peak]

oh

[young knoll]

That’s release 1.6.2 too

Which is much newer

?howold 1.6.2

[undone axle]

https://howoldisminecraft.today/1.6.2

[young knoll]

Well, 2 years newer

Compiled under JDK 6, Bukkit 1.6.2-R0.1

Hell yeah java 6

[remote swallow]

fuckin love java 6

still use it on 1.21.3

[umbral ridge]

java 1 better

'96

[eternal oxide]

I found it https://github.com/ElgarL/HeroicDeath

[young knoll]

That appears to use the same event system we have now

[plucky peak]

found another plugin

essentials for b1.7.3

or it came with the server pack

so i assume it is

same thing

[eternal oxide]

There was no 1.7.3 release

Probably a bugged Bukkit version

[plucky peak]

ok well it works on 1.7.3

[plucky peak]

something like that

im gonna check out the event registration

[eternal oxide]

Yeah https://github.com/SquallSeeD31/HeroicDeath/blob/55229caf5c952b0d4457c37ed78d9333116512e8/src/main/java/com/herocraftonline/squallseed31/heroicdeath/HeroicDeathListener.java#L110

[plucky peak]

yeah its using old classes and stuff

[shadow night]

I remember that event system with classes that were just a lot of empty methods you could override kek

[eternal oxide]

its just a simple listener, registered in teh onEnable

[plucky peak]

ill just write it down anyways

PluginManager pm = this.getServer().getPluginManager();
pm.registerEvent(Type.ENTITY_DAMAGE, this.listener, Priority.Monitor, this);
pm.registerEvent(Type.ENTITY_DEATH, this.listener, Priority.Monitor, this);
pm.registerEvent(Type.PLAYER_RESPAWN, this.playerListener, Priority.Monitor, this);
pm.registerEvent(Type.PLAYER_QUIT, this.playerListener, Priority.Monitor, this);

[shadow night]

I had a cb jar with that from frost somewhere I think

[plucky peak]

^^ this

[eternal oxide]

yes

[young knoll]

See now that’s some wacky old event system

[eternal oxide]

private final HeroicDeathListener listener = new HeroicDeathListener(this);

then register the events

Back then there was no annotation system

[young knoll]

Oh wow

You extended EntityListener and override methods

[sly topaz]

in what version was fevents implemented

[young knoll]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sometime between beta 1.7.3 and full release 1.7.3 :p

[warm mica]

@lilac dagger I feel honored, but I'd appreciate if you'd be more creative on your own instead of copying feature by feature and config by config from my plugin, thanks

[sly topaz]

LMAO

bro got called out

[eternal night]

[plucky peak]

ok dude it doesnt even let me build the goddamn program

[eternal oxide]

Hes not too good at freestylin 🙂

[lilac dagger]

i've been put to make these features lol

plus they're not copying

check it out

[sly topaz]

what are the errors

[lilac dagger]

@warm mica

[plucky peak]

ITS BECAUSE IM USING FUCKING 1.12.2 AS THE THING ITS READING OFF OF

[sly topaz]

why are we having this convo in #help-development

[plucky peak]

im using 1.12.2

[sly topaz]

go to dms smh

[lilac dagger]

tell me what is like yours

[eternal oxide]

YOU told us it was for 1.7.3 NOT 1.12.2

[plucky peak]

IT IS FOR 1.7.3

im just using 1.12.2 to make it because its the lowest version i could get to 😭

[young knoll]

Well that won’t work

[sly topaz]

just compile it yourself

[young knoll]

The api is entirely different

[eternal oxide]

You can;t build against 1.12 if you want it for 1.7

[young knoll]

Beta 1.7 at that

[lilac dagger]

@warm mica btw i've been told you've made the setup where you set using the hotbar, was i not the first to make that i wonder 😂

[sly topaz]

https://github.com/canyonmodded/canyon

[warm mica]

No idea. Somebody sent me a screenshot of your changelog and it gave me a good giggle

[sly topaz]

@plucky peak this project seems to port some new APIs to craftbukkit 1.7.3 beta, I'd use that

Java 8 even, that's crazy

[lilac dagger]

you're just being rude for no reason then

if players want a feature, i provide the feature

[plucky peak]

bro why the ceo speak man

i thought coders were nice and friendly nerds lol

[lilac dagger]

well, he went at me

[shadow night]

sometimes

[sly topaz]

most nerds are prideful assholes, don't get it wrong

[shadow night]

I personally covered ebic in metaphorical shit recently

[plucky peak]

honestly ill just find the api

i'd like to make my own thing

[shadow night]

And by metaphorically I mean I just shittalked him and the thing he was doing cuz it was going off course lol

[sly topaz]

you're crazy, but go off

[plucky peak]

lol

[sly topaz]

the 1.7.3 beta codebase isn't that big anyway so it shouldn't be too hard

[young knoll]

Gonna have to go to some shady old site

[plucky peak]

yeah

[shadow night]

It's small I'd say

Not even an inventory API :(

[sly topaz]

that forks ports inventory API

[plucky peak]

i got it on github

[young knoll]

What’s an inventory

[shadow night]

Damn

[plucky peak]

https://github.com/Raymonf/NobeliumMC-CraftBukkit

[sly topaz]

did inventories packets exist back then tho

[young knoll]

Did we have those back then

[warm mica]

Not trying to be rude. Sorry, if that's what you're seeing. I had to giggle because the changes looked very familiar

[shadow night]

That's what bukkit asked me when I did Bukkit.createInventory in b1.7.3 lol

[shadow night]

I think they worked differently, but an inventory api should've been doable

[lilac dagger]

well, i'm just trying to do my job as a developer

[young knoll]

Display entity? Armor stand? Nah but you can have P I G

[shadow night]

True

[warm mica]

I really don't care about how others do things. Every feature has been designed by me in a way I think it's best

[lilac dagger]

i'm sorry if some things look similar to yours

[shadow night]

Or lava item

[young knoll]

Hunger bar? Nope sorry

[shadow night]

Funny thing about b1.7.3: all blocks were automatically registered as items

[eternal oxide]

I found CB 1.2.5 while on this history dive

server start SO fast 🙂

[young knoll]

Blocks were registered as items for a long time

Hell I think until 1.13?

[shadow night]

Frostalf has like every cb build or something

[shadow night]

Probably

[young knoll]

1.21 starts pretty quickly now

[sly topaz]

I mean, you can just go back on the commit history and compile it

[young knoll]

Thanks to Mojang majorly lowering the spawn chunk radius

[shadow night]

@wet breach Tell us, what's the oldest version you have

[wet breach]

some beta or alpha version

[sly topaz]

takes about 20 seconds for me

[wet breach]

I will have to go take a look

[sly topaz]

if worlds are generated that is, if not then idk, 1 minute and some?

[shadow night]

20 seconds is what it takes for me to start a 1.19 server

[sly topaz]

I have a shitty PC

also windows

[shadow night]

I have a laptop

[sly topaz]

I do too

I say pc out of use

[shadow night]

My laptop is utter garbage

[sly topaz]

running a flaming celeron N4020

literally flaming, that thing doesn't explode because God is gracious

[umbral ridge]

at least it's 2 cores

I expected 1 XD

[warm mica]

Doesn't oracle or whatever offer free servers

[sly topaz]

it isn't too shabby honestly

[sly topaz]

yeah but I wouldn't use a remote server for dev

I actually did try to use one via devcontainers, but it turned out more annoying than I thought

mostly because I don't have IJ ultimate

[warm mica]

Me neither, but at that setup it's prob faster to just upload

[sly topaz]

wouldn't have to upload anything, just setup remote hotswapping 💯

[young knoll]

Isn’t that just uploading but fancy

[peak depot]

am I being silly or did setHeldItemSlot get removed

[remote swallow]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/PlayerInventory.html#setHeldItemSlot(int)

[peak depot]

thx

[fading drift]

in rare cases a player on my server can hit another player and when I teleport them at the exact same time it’ll register the hit from where the player was teleported

is there a way to cancel ongoing hits or something? before I teleport the player or even after

[eternal oxide]

make them invulnerable for a few ticks

[warm mica]

Are you using paper's async tp

[fading drift]

i’m using spigot teleport method but my server runs paper so

idk

[peak depot]

is creature spawn event only blocking agresive animals or also neutral

[native nexus]

Should be every living entity, that includes hostile mobs, animals etc.

[wraith delta]

Whats the alternative to velocity.lengthSquared() > 0.01 because that seems to only check the Y, not walking.

such as when i walk nothing happens but if i jump it activates

[eternal oxide]

You have no x/z velocity when walking

[wraith delta]

Is there a way to check if moving without the player move event?

im checking every tick instead

[eternal oxide]

track last against current location in that tick

[wraith delta]

yikes tho, its per player, wish it were a single method

theres getWalkSpeed(), dont know if its the actual moving value

[eternal oxide]

no

its the speed you will walk when you actually walk

[wraith delta]

yea nvm. darn

[slender elbow]

just use the event

if you early-return when the data you're interested in checking isn't there then it isn't a problem

e.g. check on block changes, ignore rotation only moves etc

[young knoll]

The game actually stores the last position for living entities

Idk if that also applies to players tho

(Also we don’t expose it 👀)

[wraith delta]

i decided to go with storing the location to a hashmap, i have a runnable already looping. i want to avoid playermoveevent for performance

[slender elbow]

it really isn't bad

simply listening to the event doesn't really change anything

it's whatever logic you run in it that matters

hence returning if no data of interest has changed

people just give it bad rep without even trying lol

[wraith delta]

right i have returns on the ones i use but in this case i do have to read from file and map each time for all players, while it does cache it still needs to update values often

[slender elbow]

that just sounds very wrong at first sight but idk your architecture so you do you I guess

[wraith delta]

so im making cosmetics and i want to store the customized particle to a map so they can rejoin with that particle, the location checking is to adjust the particles design based on them moving or not, certain actions i want to move the particles out of their face

it works fine. dont want to add a player move event

[young knoll]

The heck do you need to constantly read from a file for

[wraith delta]

maybe i dont mean constant read, its just with regular restarts the maps would reset so i have it save to yml when they quit, and reads on join. i suppose thats not necessary they can just re-apply.

[young knoll]

That’s not regular

And has nothing to do with the movement event

[wraith delta]

fair. but anyways id still rather avoid unnecessary events if possible due to lots of players and decent amount of plugins.

even if the event returns, i still am checking some sort of condition which id assume might take the tinniest bit of performance but it adds up

[slender elbow]

it really is not noticeable

[timid berry]

does this overwrite existing config with the default one?

[summer scroll]

I personally think if you don't read the file on the move events it should be okay.

[slender elbow]

no

[timid berry]

how can i set color via config file

ive tried things

[remote swallow]

first, dont use § use & and use ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', text)

[timid berry]

i did that but it just blocks the first word

[young knoll]

Try quoting the text in the yml file

[wraith delta]

You have a mistake in the config, you added ‘. Do what he said ^ add “ text “

[timid berry]

i see

[timid berry]

ye that fixed it thanks

[summer scroll]

What should I do to control player list of player's tablist? I wanted to hide players if they are not on the same arena of a minigame, or hide all players that are inside minigame arena for player that's in a lobby.

[obtuse hedge]

where is the color code

its just eating the Y

[wraith delta]

the real config is using &, its a few pics down - the problem is solved anyways, no need to respond

[timid berry]

https://tenor.com/view/solunary-discord-discordian-discordia-neveah-gif-27558501

@obtuse hedge I still appreciate the help gang

[glass mauve]

is there a way to get the plugins that depend on my plugin in their plugin.yml at runtime?

well I am only interested in the number of plugins

couldnt find an easy way

I guess I could query all plugins and use the PluginDescriptionFile#getDepend

but therefore I would need to use PluginManager#getPlugins and does this return all plugins in onEnable or only the ones that got enabled previously?

long count = Arrays.stream(pluginManager.getPlugins())
                .flatMap(plugin -> plugin.getDescription().getDepend().stream())
                .filter(s -> s.equalsIgnoreCase(name)).count()

this fine?

[mortal vortex]

Is there some library for making GUIs. I saw a Kotlin one

But anything in Java?

[frigid depot]

is it possible to get an external jar of spigot 1.20.6 to add to my eclipse project like i could with a 1.8 jar

[sullen marlin]

?bootstrap

[undone axle]

Bootstrap Jar
The main spigot-1.18.jar is now a bootstrap jar which contains all libraries. You cannot directly depend on this jar. You should depend on Spigot/Spigot-API/target/spigot-api-1.18-R0.1-SNAPSHOT-shaded.jar, or the entire contents of the bundler directory from your server, or use a dependency manager such as Maven or Gradle to handle this automatically.

Please read the release notes for further information: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/9-years-of-spigotmc-spigot-bungeecord-1-18-1-18-1-release.534760/#post-4305163

[sullen marlin]

Seems fine

[pure dagger]

if a class has other class as field, and its final (maybe final list) is it stateless?

[quaint mantle]

how do u get CraftServer

can u just cast BukkitServer to CraftServer?

[drowsy helm]

what are you asking

Class clazz1{
  final List<Clazz<?>>
}

?

[pure dagger]

no, Just list of anything as a field

[drowsy helm]

give an example

[blazing ocean]

what the flip

[sly topaz]

No, it isn't

if it has a mutable field, it inherently becomes stateful

this is because you're depending on state that might be outside of the class's control

[shadow night]

What's this whole statelessness thing, are we doing fp or what

[sly topaz]

I mean, it is good to know the difference

stateless is anything that depends on things outside of the current method/class's control to execute

having an immutable field doesn't make it stateful, or a deferred immutable field even. For this case though, List impl, might be mutable so that doesn't apply

[pseudo hazel]

yes, tons, everyone seems to like IF (inventory framework) so maybe you can try that

[sonic goblet]

Yup

Hi,
While ramping up with plugin development, I started a very simple plugin creation template.
Do you have any idea of what can be improved to make it more useful ?

https://github.com/Jaalon/spigot_plugin_template

For the moment, there’s two things:

• a docker image with spigot downloaded, built & deployed
• a very simple plugin with a command and a listener

I see already want to check at this improvements:

• migrate to an annotation based configuration
• use standard built tools to generate the spigot jar (instead of buildtool)

[peak depot]

how can I prevent Items from going back into the players inv on InvClose Event

[proud badge]

Cancel click event? wym

[fair rock]

Its like Anvil or something like that?

Like you put something in, close -> Items back in your inventory

something like that?

[peak depot]

I got It already but I mean like if you have a sword and lapis in an enchater inv how to prevent the lapis from going back to the player too since its put in via plugin

and it was just getting the closing inv and removing the items

[fair rock]

Make sense ^ If theres nothing, you cant get items

[rough drift]

buildtools is what you should use to build the jar though

[deft fossil]

Why not using directly maven by cloning each project independently ? I thought it would ease the patching of spigot or other project if needed for more advanced user

[rough drift]

Not really, you usually just run buildtools for whatever you want to do, including editing the server code

[deft fossil]

Ok I see, so I guess I won’t include that to the project. Maybe just explore it for personal curiosity but keep using buildtool for the template

[sly topaz]

not much to gain from that considering pretty much all buildtools does is automating that process

it also has some other features such as downloading git and maven if not present, but that's about it

one thing you could do is use that docker image and make it a devcontainer instead

then you can make it a devcontainer template: https://github.com/devcontainers/template-starter

another suggestion would be to use JetbrainsRuntime distribution instead of Corretto's and add the -XX:EnhancedClassRedefinition flag for hotswapping

you might also use patrick-choe's mojang-spigot-remapper considering you already run build tools to get the spigot jar, might be good to run it with --remapped and use the remapped sources in case they may want to use NMS

[deft fossil]

Yes, I was going to talk about hotswapping, will have a look to jetbrainsRuntime. Using it, it will make a devcontainer more usuable in practice

[proud badge]

It shouldnt happen by default

Unless the menu is vanilla (opened by clicking on a block)

Or should it? Idk. I forgot

[slender elbow]

well, it does for stuff like anvils and crafting tables etc

since they aren't containers

upon closing the items will return to your inventory

[sly topaz]

wouldn't these be dropped

or are we talking about the case where the event is cancelled, making it like they were never placed in the inventory to begin with

inventory close isn't cancellable though, now that I'm looking at it so that shouldn't be possible

[slender elbow]

that hasn't been the case for like a few years

they used to drop, now they just return to the inventory, unless you don't have space then they'll drop

[sly topaz]

oh that's cool, since I don't really play newer versions I haven't noticed the behavior change

[rough drift]

can you edit the drops in the death event

like just edit the list

[chrome beacon]

You should be able to remove from that list

Not entirely sure if you can add stuff to it

Give it a try

[eternal oxide]

You can't add

[rough drift]

ty

though not being able to add is dum

[eternal oxide]

just dropNaturally

for any additional items

[peak depot]

whats the best way to check if a player is in area using the PlayerMoveEvent or somehow getting the entites in range relativ to the area

[junior geyser]

You can just get the players location on player move event, and check if they are in the area you want them to be

There is also a location.getNearbyEntities method

To get all entities in a range around a location

[peak depot]

yeah but what of those is more performant prob the nearbyentits if I trigger it ever 0,5 sec rather then when everybody is moving no?

[simple sentinel]

Hey guys, i wanted to add something to a plugin that i have on my server

Its a marriage plugin

The problem is that i only can kiss my partner using /kiss, but i wanted to used shift + right click to kiss too!

How can i do that?

I asked for help using some IA but it didn't work 😭

[eternal night]

Do you already have a plugin compiling? even if it doesn't work

[simple sentinel]

The .jar?

[eternal night]

Well, given you are asking in help-development I presume you wanna add that functionality via a new plugin?

(or by editing the existing one I guess)

[river oracle]

PlayerMoveEvent PlayerInteractEvent I think would work here

[eternal night]

What

[simple sentinel]

Yes, i'm trying to add it by editing the existing one, but idk how to do that :(

[eternal night]

Is it open source?

[river oracle]

if you don't know how to code and its open source you might be best asking someone on services to just add this small feature for you it'd probably be very cheap or free depending on the person you ask to do it.

?services

[undone axle]

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

[simple sentinel]

Sorry, how do i know if it's a open source?

[eternal night]

Whats the name of the plugin 😅

[simple sentinel]

LunaticFamily 🥲

[eternal night]

https://github.com/Janschuri/LunaticFamily yea

A family plugin has like a full platform submodule setup xD the world is crazy

[river oracle]

fr exactly what I was thinking lol

[worldly ingot]

String getGender();

Thank goodness it's not a boolean

[eternal night]

We are progressive like that

[worldly ingot]

lol

[remote swallow]

remember that one plugin

[river oracle]

where is the Data Driven Gender Registry

[worldly ingot]

Yes that one plugin

I remember it fondly

[remote swallow]

is it still on spigot i dont remember

[worldly ingot]

Literally no clue what you're on about btw lol

[remote swallow]

the one where it had mental illness in it as something

some person that was a troll here ages ago made it

[river oracle]

Lex?

[eternal oxide]

Its starting to ring bells

[worldly ingot]

That totally sounds like a Lax plugin

[river oracle]

Lax*

that was who it was

[simple sentinel]

I can't ask for help, i'm not allowed to post anything

[worldly ingot]

He has a gender plugin, if this is what you're referring to, https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/33217/

[shadow night]

Lax?

[river oracle]

you must ask those who have posted already

[remote swallow]

thats what i was thinking about

[worldly ingot]

I miss Lax :(

[shadow night]

Who's lax

[river oracle]

was he banned or did he just drop off the face of the earth

[worldly ingot]

He just got bored I'd imagine lol

Other things in life than Minecraft

[remote swallow]

i swear he was banned from here

[river oracle]

true

[river oracle]

I guess being a troll can get boring lol

I think he was mainly active during the time while I didn't talk here much lol

sad time I wouldn't want to be missing

[worldly ingot]

He was an IRC man. Don't think he ever joined the Discord

[river oracle]

that makes more sense then

[worldly ingot]

He even made amazing plugins such as RotatR :( https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/rotator-lite.53688/

We even used it on the Spigot test server for a while!

OH WE STILL DO

[river oracle]

lmfao

[worldly ingot]

https://github.com/SpigotMC/SpigotCraft/blob/master/plugins/RotatoR.jar

[river oracle]

the reviews on his gender plugin are hillarious

[remote swallow]

he was here

[worldly ingot]

Oh he was! Long while ago then

[remote swallow]

okay so choco

check the ban list, im pretty sure hes on it

[worldly ingot]

Oh he is banned Yeah, I mean that makes sense

[river oracle]

ahaha lol

been a while since we had a good troll, we just have people like Epic and he's like not even that funny

[remote swallow]

fr

[buoyant viper]

what is your gender??

True.

[remote swallow]

oh and we have neon

[river oracle]

He's not a troll though just like young

those are very different things smh

[remote swallow]

hes underage, so therefore needs to be banned 👍

[shadow night]

I'd use an enum

[river oracle]

okay God I was going to say enum I'm glad someone else agrees with me

[remote swallow]

cant be hard coding genders

[eternal oxide]

What? You wouldn't let me invent a gender?!

[river oracle]

ENUM because its funny

[shadow night]

Okay, I'll use registry if you want it

[river oracle]

nah nah ENUM
TRUE,
FALSE,
MAYBE

[shadow night]

Lol

[remote swallow]

enum
TRUE;

[shadow night]

"what's your gender?"
"Hmm, maybe"

[eternal oxide]

getGender() { return Random...

[shadow night]

Lol

Guys, I know

[blazing ocean]

"mixed"

[river oracle]

👀 what the fuck is the point of this

[worldly ingot]

Somebody wrote that unironically and still decided to use -1 as true

[slender elbow]

i mean

it's all 1s bits

but yes it's moronic lol

[simple sentinel]

Could someone help me? I'm trying to edit a plugin, but the changes that I made are not working and i wanted to identify whats wrong with it

[young knoll]

?notworking

[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.

[river oracle]

If you're not a dev editing a plugin is just dumb
