Don't use AI hire someone or find an alternative

As I said earlier some people in services would probably do it for very cheap or even free

[simple sentinel]

Well, a lot of people use AI today to fix it, even if they don't know about it :/
The problem is that I'm brazilian and it's kinda difficult to find people that could do that service for me (and if they did, it would not be cheap to me)

[river oracle]

AI is horrible at coding

You shouldn't use AI to fix a problem you know nothing about good way to fuck things up

[simple sentinel]

If you think so

[young knoll]

He has experience

He’s also horrible at coding and the AI keeps making code that looks just like his

[simple sentinel]

lol

[worthy yarrow]

What plugin and what needs to be fixed?

[simple sentinel]

dw about it

i think i already know the problem

and its not the code lol

[peak depot]

what sound you guys thinks is good for an alarm

[slender elbow]

alarm sound

[peak depot]

yeah but no textutre pack

[slender elbow]

why not?

[worthy yarrow]

Well if it ends up being the code I can help ya out

[simple sentinel]

Thanks for offering help 🥹
I will call you if i have another code problem!

[worthy yarrow]

A dm works if you don’t mind

[river oracle]

So real

[young knoll]

Maybe a bell sound

Bells are basically alarms

Or you could basically create your own sound with noteblocks

[peak depot]

is my math not mathing or why isnt it a box but a rectangle(from the center)

[eternal oxide]

it is a box

[young knoll]

Because it’s probably centred on a block location

Which is in the corner of a block

You told it to be a 4x10x4 box and that’s what you got

[peak depot]

yeah but off by 1 block from the center

[peak depot]

yeah prob

[eternal oxide]

as coll said a block.getX is the corner of a block

you are just counting wrong

[peak depot]

yeah but it is a box wasnt very helpfull yk but still thanks

[eternal oxide]

the white block is the first block top right

[river oracle]

@young knoll Try out InventoryView builders or I'll ban you form spigotMC

[neat wolf]

Hi can someone help me with this error happening when i send packet to the player : ```java
ServerPlayerConnection connection = ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().connection;
connection.send(new ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket(ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Action.ADD_PLAYER, npc)); //(LINE 264)
connection.send(new ClientboundAddEntityPacket(npc, serverEntity));

1.21.1

[blazing ocean]

Is your NPC a ServerPlayer?

If so

you need to set a dummy connection

.

[blazing ocean]

well

its connection is null

so you need to set it to a dummy one

this

but honestly just use citizens lmao

[neat wolf]

so I have to instantiate a class every time I want to send a packet to the player?

[blazing ocean]

no?

you just need to set the npc's connection to that

[neat wolf]

oh i see

i will try ty

[chrome beacon]

Everyone do be making NPCs

I swear it's the most commonly asked question here

[rough drift]

which is why I promptly allowed this in my api:

var npc = Entity.create(Identifier.minecraft("entity/player"));

world.addEntity(npc);
npc.send(MessageTeleport.to(position));

teleportation to a world adds the entity to that world, but you can omit it to just set the position, you can also just add the entity to a single player and then it will only show for that player as long as you don't add it to the world*

[chrome beacon]

They don't want to use APIs

[rough drift]

they are using the spigot API

which is basically sitting at the same level as mine

[chrome beacon]

true

but still they'd rather write their "own" code by copy pasting what we give them

[rough drift]

kekw

?spoon

[undone axle]

Spoonfeed a newbie for a day and they'll come back with more questions. Teach them to find their own answers and you'll both be better off: you won't get stuck answering the easy questions and they'll be much more productive than before.

[peak depot]

https://paste.md-5.net/qunanatezu.cs Ok so why does this code work 3 times and after that just stops doing anything besides debug printing

[neat wolf]

My code was simply written in previous version before the remapping NMS

[chrome beacon]

That wasn't entirely directed towards you

[chrome beacon]

What exactly isn't working

[peak depot]

yeah so basicly its I want to protect a certain area and it works arround 3 times (block the blocks from being placed) and after that I just stops blocking them even tho I place it on the same block as before

[chrome beacon]

and location before and after messages are being sent?

[peak depot]

?

[chrome beacon]

You have location before and location after messages

in the code

are they being sent

[peak depot]

yeah it was to check if it centers it correctly those still get send

[chrome beacon]

Is the "In protected area" message being sent

[peak depot]

nope thats my problem

and it worked 3 times before it broke and thats every time

[chrome beacon]

I don't think the issue is in the snippet you sent

There's a problem in one of the methods you're calling

[inner mulch]

are there map implementations that use arrays.hashcode for arrays?

[eternal night]

fastutils can be tweaked for that

[inner mulch]

whats that?

[eternal night]

Object2ObjectOpenCustomHashMap

tho idk if spigot exposes those

[blazing ocean]

average fastutil class nam

e

[eternal night]

but if you are on paper, the api exposes those

[inner mulch]

okay, thank you :)

[eternal night]

final Map<int[], String> map = new Object2ObjectOpenCustomHashMap<>(new Hash.Strategy<>() {
    @Override
    public int hashCode(final int[] o) {
        return Arrays.hashCode(o);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(final int[] a, final int[] b) {
        return Arrays.equals(a, b);
    }
});

would be an example usage

[peak depot]

but then why is it running the method like it goes all the way down to the bounding box check like as stupid as it sounds does it ratelimit me somehow

[slender elbow]

or just use an array wrapper that properly implements the methods :run:

[eternal night]

but then you don't have an excuse to use fastutil

checkmate

[slender elbow]

you mean highmemoryusageutil

[eternal night]

Memory is cheap

[slender elbow]

it would be really funny, like REALLY funny, if it was purposely slower

[slender elbow]

I get charged per byte

[eternal night]

Well but you are the exception

[slender elbow]

true

[peak depot]

@chrome beacon ? since like its the bound box thats being checked thats wrong not the actually execute no?

[blazing ocean]

Why did bro ping oliver

[chrome beacon]

They were probably trying to ping me kekw

[eternal oxide]

His fault for having a name starting with O

[peak depot]

yeah mb

[young knoll]

Is @NotNull still here

Guess not

[eternal oxide]

I used to ping him a lot

Never saw him speak though

[analog basin]

if Crops is deprecated in favour of BlockData, how do we get crop growth status?

[slender elbow]

Ageable

in the .block.data package, not the entity one

[analog basin]

    @EventHandler 
    public void onBlockGrow(BlockGrowEvent event) {
        Ageable blockAge = (Ageable) event.getBlock().getBlockData();
        
        if(event.getBlock().getType() == Material.WHEAT) {
            blockAge.getAge();
    
        }
    }```

Ty

[slender elbow]

uhh

you really should do the check before casting

if it isn't ageable like stone or whatever it'll blow up

[analog basin]

my bad

I've been distracted trying to figure out how to get the damn age of the blocks without Crops, I didn't think about that.

[young knoll]

Will it then be an instance of TNT?

[analog basin]

Can you tell that I haven't touched the spigot api in a long time and want to do things propperly :p

[analog basin]

Block grow events aren't firing at all.

or am I dumb

[remote swallow]

did you register it

[analog basin]

yes

[round finch]

@EventHandler?

[analog basin]

yes

[remote swallow]

show ur code

[analog basin]

I'm capturing player chat events though

[slender elbow]

the block will be a Block, not a BlockType

[round finch]

question why not broadcastmessage?

[analog basin]

Never makes it that far.

[analog basin]

Forgot about that, fixed that too

When I use .getMaxAge() I get interesting results. Same with getAge()

When I bonemeal a wheat block, it says 3 / 5 at it's max growth. But F3 shows 7.

[valid basin]

Is this allowed in my plugin?

        PluginDescriptionFile descFile = plugin.getDescription();

        boolean nameMatches = EXPECTED_NAME.equals(descFile.getName());
        boolean authorMatches = descFile.getAuthors().contains(EXPECTED_AUTHOR);
        boolean descriptionMatches = EXPECTED_DESCRIPTION.equals(descFile.getDescription());

        if (!nameMatches || !authorMatches || !descriptionMatches) {
            logMessage("§c[SGReborn] Plugin.yml verification failed!");
            disablePlugin(plugin);
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }```

Essentially I want to be sure nobody modifies the plugin.yml of my plugin

[analog basin]

weird

when I try and get the block age, I can, but it's never accurate

It's like the events fire too fast

On StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66338215/how-to-know-if-a-plant-has-fully-grown

Apparently others have run into this

Yea, blockAge doesn't seem to work?

[young knoll]

Uhh sure

But who cares if the name and authors are changed

[remote swallow]

i mean if they want to modify it, they can just remove that from the code

[valid basin]

I mean that's true. But I'll use some obfuscation that's compliant with spigotmc rules

I'll open src all my projects anyway

So you're probably right

[young knoll]

Mmm yes obfuscating open source projects

[remote swallow]

gonna go obsfucate jishlib

[analog basin]

public class CropGrowthListener implements Listener {

    
    @EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.HIGHEST)
    public void onBlockGrow(BlockGrowEvent event) {
        
        if(event.getBlock().getType() == Material.WHEAT) {

            Ageable blockAge = (Ageable) event.getBlock().getBlockData();
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage(blockAge.toString());
            
            if(blockAge.getAge() == 7) {
                Bukkit.broadcastMessage("block is fully grown, breaking");
                event.getBlock().breakNaturally();
            }

        }
    }
}```

[eternal oxide]

Unless you are writing commercial code don't bother with any protections or obfuscation.

[analog basin]

It never sees the block at it's full age.

[valid basin]

commercial code? wdym?

[eternal oxide]

You are using teh Blockj so you are looking at teh OLD age

[remote swallow]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/block/BlockGrowEvent.html#getNewState()

[eternal oxide]

You need to check the NewState

[eternal oxide]

Code you are selling so need to perform some level of protection

[analog basin]

As soon as you said the Blockj thing, I updated it to use getNewState()

🙃

Ty

[valid basin]

One more question. Am I allowed to send user information about his server to me when he first installs the plugin for example? (If it's a premium resource) as a piracy counter-measure.

                                .addField("User: ", "https://spigotmc.org/members/" + ServerUtils.userID, true)
                                .addField("Unique Download Link:", ServerUtils.uniqueDLID, true)
                                .addField("Server IP: ", ServerUtils.getIPAddress(), true)
                                .addField("Server HWID:", ServerUtils.getHardwareId(), true)
                                .addField("Server Hostname:", ServerUtils.getHostName(), true)
                                .addField("Minecraft Version/Java Version:", ServerUtils.getMinecraftVersion() + "/" + ServerUtils.getJavaVersion(), true)
                                .addField("CurrentPlugins:", ServerUtils.getActivePluginsAsString(), true)
                                .addField("Server Operators:", ServerUtils.getServerOperators(), true));```
For example here

Or is that breach of ToS?

Just so I know

[river oracle]

I'll break it in a couple seconds if you want

just to show you how futile it is

[valid basin]

Sure

I'm aware it's futile

[river oracle]

and the futile struggles make it all that more satisfying to beat

[river oracle]

you technically could, but also you need to ensure that the plugin works when not connected to the internet (with exception of libraries feature)

so your fail safe would need to be the plugin booting as normal

[valid basin]

Point is people you don't directly know that when installing the plugin. I mean obviously it's easy to crack it. I was thinking of adding bytecode hash protection so I generate unique hash for an entire class and then if it's modified it doesn't load

But that doesn't work well with obfuscations

I've tried

[river oracle]

yeah I mean even if you add bytecode hash protect can just mixin to your classloader

[remote swallow]

idk what plugin ur trying to project here, but its probably not worth it

[river oracle]

or whatever protecting you use

[valid basin]

Yeah gl getting the hash right, because whatever you change inside the class will result in a different hash lol

But I gave up from that system anyways

It's too much work to perfect it

but for not much gain

[river oracle]

no matter the system you implement its probably not worth it 😉

you can use the actual productive counter measure of only offering support to those who have purchased your plugin, there are plenty of ways to do this.

want support? Buy the plugin

want to pirate? Don't expect support

[valid basin]

You think that'd be more beneficial than licensing system?

[tardy pike]

Hello everyone do you know where can i sell my services ?

[valid basin]

Or going into anti piracy measures

[eternal night]

Well, the people that wanna pirate will pirate, the people that wanna support you will

[chrome beacon]

^^

[eternal night]

The amount of people you'll manage to "convince" into buying something because you invest ttime into anti piracy matters is probably not that large

given they'll already be downloading the pirated jar from some scuffed forum

so there just need to be one guy that does the (somewhat) easy task of disabling whatever measure you dream up on

[timid berry]

is it possible for a spigot player to get the number of players online for another spigot server that is under the same bungeecord?

[golden turret]

hey guys, what is best: make docker download the files i want or have it already on the image?

[eternal night]

depends on the files

[golden turret]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/bukkit-bungee-plugin-messaging-channel/ PlayerCount

[golden turret]

i want to create an image that contains the jre (ik there is images that already do that, but i want to play a bit). rn i am downloading the .tar.gz

[eternal night]

The image should contain the jre yes

[golden turret]

makes sense

[eternal night]

The only files you generally don't wanna include in an image are those that are data or are so large/dynamic it doesn't make sense

[timid berry]

what do i put as my subchannel

[eternal night]

E.g. a Minecraft world or a llm model

[golden turret]

my goal is to create a minecraft server image. I want the user to be able to specify which version he wants to use, so in that case it would be better to download at runtime, right?

[sly topaz]

why so, just download the right jre depending on the minecraft version

maybe give the option to download the full JDK too, since some plugins do expect the full thing to be there (even though, they shouldn't but shrug)

[left jay]

hey so I just updated my spigot build and my listeners broke
the listeners were to make the custom items immovable, and everything else works as intended, but everything related to the custom item listener isnt working, but the listeners from everything else in separate plugins are working fine, what did i do wrong here?

[earnest girder]

is it possible to spawn a snowball projectile and then change its texture to something like with customModelData?

including net.minecraft solutions

[worldly ingot]

Yes. ThrowableProjectile has a #setItem() method that accepts an ItemStack, which can hold custom model data

(and snowballs are throwable projectiles)

[earnest girder]

wow

that's amazing

[worldly ingot]

There were some somewhat recent changes to dropping items? I guess it depends on what your listeners are doing

[timid berry]

why wont it print out online players even tho im on?

im trying to get it to print out every couple of secs the players that are online in that specific world

[remote swallow]

okay show how you are sending the message

[timid berry]

i have no idea what that means

how do i send the msg?

[remote swallow]

show where you send the plugin message

[timid berry]

oh this

i sent the same ss twice mb

[remote swallow]

add debug messages

figure out what triggers and whats being sent

[timid berry]

well this part is reached but i dont know if its sending the plugin messege

[remote swallow]

okay so add a message to the listener

[timid berry]

its not

[remote swallow]

maybe, sounds crazy

add it before your if statement

see if its recieveing anything, if it is what

[left jay]

not only that but the part that stops it from going into containers also doesnt work? can you send the spigot patch notes if there is any? also heres the listener for context

why cant i paste in screenshots?

whatever this works ig

[timid berry]

i guess its not reaching here

[remote swallow]

do you register it

and by magical chance, are you trying to go spigot -> spigot

[timid berry]

perchance?

[remote swallow]

plugin messaging goes spigot -> bungee or vice versa

you need to forward the message from bungee

[timid berry]

how can i do that

[remote swallow]

listen for it on bungee, figure out where to send it and there you go

[timid berry]

i need to make a bungee plugin?

[remote swallow]

yes

sounds crazy, you can see how many people are on a server from bungee

[timid berry]

society

wait im just better off making a bungee plugin instead

[remote swallow]

yeah

[thorny salmon]

how to update the worlds in the server to the new version guys?
I have worlds in the server 1.19. I want to update to 1.21 but the worlds are not compatible. how to update the worlds to match the server version?

Can anyone help me please?

[sullen marlin]

They update automatically

What do you mean they're not compatible

[buoyant viper]

it seems a little counter intuitive to be checking if the player list is not empty only to then let ur supplier potentially return null

i see no reason to not just do Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().get(0)

[lilac dagger]

There's an iterables that has a get first method?

That's nice

I assume the null is the default value

If it's not empty then it'll never return

[hushed spindle]

if the list is empty and you use get(0) it'll throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException, getFirst() will throw a NoSuchElementException if the list is empty

but if you stream the list you can use List#stream.findFirst().orElse(null) to make it return null (or some other default value) if the list is empty

[lilac dagger]

but he does the check for that

there's at least 1 element, get first will work in this case

[wet breach]

Makes no sense to make value null

[lilac dagger]

i assume there's no way to get first without a default value?

[tribal quarry]

please use enumsets instead of adding tons of conditions to an if

[lilac dagger]

let me see

[wet breach]

Well the first value dictates which channel to write to.

[wet breach]

But i guess making the default null is fine though because the method only runs if there is players

Therefore the default should not be used

[lilac dagger]

indeed

also, so sad that my plugins support 1.18+

this shows as a warning for beta to me

[tribal quarry]

could you try registering a new channel with different name? (rather than BungeeCord), and try sending the message through it?

wait

[lilac dagger]

i'm not sure why this first line is like this

shouldn't it be BungeeCord if you're using Bungeecord?

[tribal quarry]

yes

[timid berry]

No look up

[tribal quarry]

just do this

out.writeUTF("PlayerCount");
out.writeUTF("pvp");

[sly topaz]

not really

[sly topaz]

if you are using bungeecord built-in channels, then you can use bungeecord, however you can pass anything you want there

[wet breach]

Technically it can be anything but it should be bungeecord if you want bungee to handle it for you

And javier beat me to it

[tribal quarry]

did you registered BungeeCord channel on your plugin?

[lilac dagger]

nah, the output should be just
out.writeUTF("PlayerList");
out.writeUTF("pvp");

[tribal quarry]

yep

but it seems like there is no output of "subchannel" when he tried to print

[tribal quarry]

.

[lilac dagger]

did he tried to print the subchannel without the check?

[timid berry]

It’s okay

The problem is

That I don’t have a bungee plug-in

Or something like that

[tribal quarry]

no

[lilac dagger]

you don't need a bungee plugin for this

[tribal quarry]

you dont need

[tribal quarry]

  @Override
  public void onEnable() {
    this.getServer().getMessenger().registerOutgoingPluginChannel(this, "BungeeCord");
    this.getServer().getMessenger().registerIncomingPluginChannel(this, "BungeeCord", this);
  }

  @Override
  public void onDisable() {
    //make sure to unregister the registered channels in case of a reload
    this.getServer().getMessenger().unregisterOutgoingPluginChannel(this);
    this.getServer().getMessenger().unregisterIncomingPluginChannel(this);
  }

You have to get them both registered, both input and output message channels

[lilac dagger]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/bukkit-bungee-plugin-messaging-channel/ this is built in bungeecord

[timid berry]

Look at this

[tribal quarry]

then just write those messages:

out.writeUTF("PlayerCount");
out.writeUTF("pvp");

and wait for response that should look like this:

String server = in.readUTF(); // Name of server, as given in the arguments
int playercount = in.readInt();

[lilac dagger]

and the subchannel should be PlayerCount

[tribal quarry]

@timid berry yes, just do that and it'll be fine

[tribal quarry]

and + make sure to have these two registered in your plugin

[lilac dagger]

yup this is it

[timid berry]

public final class OnlineCounter extends JavaPlugin implements Listener, PluginMessageListener {

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        this.getServer().getMessenger().registerOutgoingPluginChannel(this, "BungeeCord");
        this.getServer().getMessenger().registerIncomingPluginChannel(this, "BungeeCord", this);

        this.saveDefaultConfig();
        // Plugin startup logic
        System.out.println("DiscordBot-counter by Zarif enabled");
        this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);


        new BukkitRunnable() {
            public void run() {

                if(Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().size() > 0) {
                    System.out.println("more then 1 online");
                    ByteArrayDataOutput out = ByteStreams.newDataOutput();
                    out.writeUTF("Zarifsigmachannel");
                   out.writeUTF("PlayerCount");
                    out.writeUTF("lobby");
                    Player player = Iterables.getFirst(Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers(), null);
                    System.out.println(player.getName());
                    player.sendPluginMessage(OnlineCounter.this, "BungeeCord", out.toByteArray());                }







       }
        }.runTaskTimer(OnlineCounter.this, 0, 20);
    }



    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        System.out.println("Goodbye! -Zarif");

    }

    @Override
    public void onPluginMessageReceived(String channel, Player player, byte[] message) {

        ByteArrayDataInput in = ByteStreams.newDataInput(message);
        String subchannel = in.readUTF();
        System.out.println(subchannel + " " + channel );
        if (!channel.equals("BungeeCord")) {
            return;
        }

        if (subchannel.equals("Zarifsigmachannel")){
            String server = in.readUTF(); // Name of server, as given in the arguments
            int playercount = in.readInt();
                System.out.println(playercount);

        }
    }
}

this is my full code

[lilac dagger]

Zarifsigmachannel replace it with PlayerCount

move subchannel bellow the bungeecord channel

[timid berry]

it is below?

[lilac dagger]

you'll get an error if it's not a utf

subchannel should be below the !channel.equals BungeeCord

[timid berry]

u mean inside that if statement?

[lilac dagger]

no

[lilac dagger]

System.out.println(subchannel + " " + channel );
if (!channel.equals("BungeeCord")) {
return;
}
String subchannel = in.readUTF();
like this

[timid berry]

oh so just remove it?

[tribal quarry]

String subchannel = in.readUTF();

dont call this before checking the channel equals to BungeeCord, if you do that, and another type of message is sent that doesn't have UTF in its first element, it throws an exception

[lilac dagger]

just move it below

[timid berry]

like this?

[lilac dagger]

wait a sec

[timid berry]

@Override
public void onPluginMessageReceived(String channel, Player player, byte[] message) {

    ByteArrayDataInput in = ByteStreams.newDataInput(message);
    String subchannel = in.readUTF();
    System.out.println(subchannel + " " + channel );
    if (!channel.equals("BungeeCord")) {
        return;
    }

        String server = in.readUTF(); // Name of server, as given in the arguments
        int playercount = in.readInt();
            System.out.println(playercount);

}

}

[tribal quarry]

        String subchannel = in.readUTF();
        System.out.println(subchannel + " " + channel );

move these two, under channel.equals(BungeeCord) statement

[lilac dagger]

@Override
public void onPluginMessageReceived(String channel, Player player, byte[] message) {

    ByteArrayDataInput in = ByteStreams.newDataInput(message);
    if (!channel.equals("BungeeCord")) {
        return;
    }
    String subchannel = in.readUTF();
    System.out.println(subchannel + " " + channel );

    if (subchannel.equals("PlayerCount")){
        String server = in.readUTF(); // Name of server, as given in the arguments
        int playercount = in.readInt();
            System.out.println(playercount);

    }
}

like this

[timid berry]

i see

okay

[lilac dagger]

nvm, you did it

[timid berry]

}

[lilac dagger]

try it out

make sure you're online for this to work

[timid berry]

yah one sec

oh it works thanks!

[lilac dagger]

there you go 😄

enjoy programming

[timid berry]

thank you!!!!

time to sleep

[lilac dagger]

no problem

[timid berry]

i shall get a good nights rest

thanks agian

[lilac dagger]

take care

there's one more improvement that i really like

@timid berry this looks a bit more clean

i think bukkit runnable has been superseeded since the introduction of functional programming

this looks a lot cleaner to me

[rough drift]

Hey chat I got a question for you

if I edit an item in a player's inventory it will update right?

I'm not crazy

[pseudo hazel]

yes?

why wouldnt it

there is no need to call updateInventory or whatever

[rough drift]

it requires a packet to update player inv :P so was just thinkin

[pseudo hazel]

wdym

well yeah

but its synced dont worry

[rough drift]

👍

did it

[thorny salmon]

I mean when I put worlds from lower version into Servers from higher version they usually crash the Server or some other problem that I don't know. I don't know how to say it but some chunks have display errors or something like that.

sorry if my english is not good. i am learning and will try harder to improve

[umbral ridge]

Yeah

try to use multiverse plugin to import worlds

[thorny salmon]

oh, so use multiversecore plugin to fix this

[umbral ridge]

Maaybe

[thorny salmon]

I did some research and found --force update.
I'm not sure if it's okay to apply.

[smoky anchor]

make backup, try that, see if it works

[quaint mantle]

Anyone familiar with shading a plugin?

With this one, I get the unsupported Unsupported class file major version 65 error

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

[young knoll]

Lower the java version

[quaint mantle]

I've tried that as well

Similar error

[young knoll]

What version did you try

And what minecraft version is the server

[quaint mantle]

17

And 1.21

[young knoll]

17 should work

[quaint mantle]

Unsupported class file major version 61 That's the error

[young knoll]

Where are you getting the error, on the server or when building

[chrome beacon]

Update your shade plugin

[quaint mantle]

What's the latest version?

[chrome beacon]

3.6.0

[quaint mantle]

That seems to have fixed the error

How do I know if I am shading the plugin in the right way?

[chrome beacon]

A jar file is just a zip

So you can open it like one and see the files inside

You might need to rename it to get windows to detect it as such

[quaint mantle]

Am I supposed to be looking for a class?

[chrome beacon]

Yeah look for the classes

[young knoll]

Can windows just open jars as zips?

I’ve been using 7zip

[chrome beacon]

It can

but you need to rename them to zip first

[young knoll]

Ah, lame

[quaint mantle]

I use an online decompiler 😭

[lilac dagger]

just install 7zip 😦

[quaint mantle]

https://imgur.com/a/gLmEDUa
I'm guessing this works?

[quaint mantle]

I do have it installed, but,

[lilac dagger]

yeah but with 7zip you can modify the jar file

[chrome beacon]

tbh I just rename it to a zip if I need to do so

Not that often

[young knoll]

That’s like 4 extra buttons

[quaint mantle]

^

[chrome beacon]

If I just want to look at the contents I can do so in Intellij

[pliant topaz]

I use winrar personally

[sly topaz]

7zip is faster so I use that

[sly topaz]

Windows's built in zip support is slow tho

maybe I just notice it since I have a shit pc lol

[chrome beacon]

It's slow

[blazing ocean]

jar xf be like

[pliant topaz]

interesting, thought they were basically even

[chrome beacon]

I believe it tries extract the entire thing to temp

before opening it

[pliant topaz]

*could be considered worse than the searching

[chrome beacon]

For plugins though it works good enough

[blazing ocean]

unzip be like

[spice oasis]

is it allowed to upload a paper plugin to spigotmc, or do i need to change the code so that it's compatible?

[chrome beacon]

It needs to be compatible with Spigot

[spice oasis]

ok thanks

[sly topaz]

too bad eza doesn't support piping non-existing paths, otherwise you could just do jar tf jar.jar | eza --icons --tree --sort=type -L5

there was a pr to support inspecting archives but it got nowhere it seems

[blazing ocean]

jar tf lol

[sly topaz]

t is for table of contents, aka --list

it does sound funny though now that you mention it lol

[spice oasis]

do i need to use the meta of the item to access the PDC?

[valid basin]

So you think it's just best to completely get rid of any way to do anti-piracy? Also is this system compliant with spigotmc rules? If someone can tell me since I'm not actively shutting down server. I'm just sending info to myself.

                                .addField("User: ", "https://spigotmc.org/members/" + ServerUtils.userID, true)

                                .addField("Server IP: ", ServerUtils.getIPAddress(), true)
                                .addField("Server HWID:", ServerUtils.getHardwareId(), true)
                                .addField("Server Hostname:", ServerUtils.getHostName(), true)

                                .addField("Server Operators:", ServerUtils.getServerOperators(), true));```

[mortal vortex]

yep

[eternal night]

Should be fine? Iirc you could also shut your plugin down just, if there is no internet or your webpage is down, the plugin needs to still work.

Tho to note, I don't moderate that forum not a forum staff lol

[valid basin]

Yh idk about that g. I got banned because I had custom command through PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent that'd shut down if I wanted and if it was my UUID

so I removed that entirely

[quaint mantle]

guys

[mortal vortex]

Yes?

[quaint mantle]

im newbie on plugins develop

[valid basin]

Ahh so if there is no internet it's not allowed? Yh then I can't use this system

[quaint mantle]

who can fix for me? (1 bug i think so easy with u)

[valid basin]

actually I'll just surround it in try catch block

and make it execute even if it fails

[mortal vortex]

Sure

[smoky anchor]

?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!

[quaint mantle]

can u check dm?

[smoky anchor]

bruh-

[quaint mantle]

nah bro

[smoky anchor]

what

[quaint mantle]

can u help me fix?

[smoky anchor]

can you read what the bot said

[mortal vortex]

@quaint mantle I don't do DMs, sorry.

1. I can't see a bug. That squiggle could be a number of things, such as an unused import (though that's normally grey).
2. I don't see how ImageIO is in any way related to Spigot.

[smoky anchor]

ye, those are just warnings that you have unused import

[quaint mantle]

oh

[smoky anchor]

hover over it with cursor and you'll see what it tells you

tip: do that whenever you see a squigly line

[mortal vortex]

So how is this related to Spigot?

[quaint mantle]

i ...

[smoky anchor]

sometimes ppl don't come here with spigot questions, its fine if this chat is dead I say

[quaint mantle]

i join to server for find 1 person can help me

[mortal vortex]

Fair. But he said Plugin Development.

[quaint mantle]

;-;;

ya

[smoky anchor]

OH-

[mortal vortex]

How do you write enough code to have that many dependencies, yet not know what that squiggle means?

Do you know Java? Or is this copied?

[quaint mantle]

that is code of file src from my friend;-;;

and i stole it

[smoky anchor]

🚓

[quaint mantle]

thanks for advice bro;-;;

[mortal vortex]

All good.

[valid basin]

Bro is not even using chatgpt. He straight crimo ☠️

I recommend you trying to rewrite that code yourself instead just copying pasting if you want to learn. That's my advice

[mortal hare]

i love oracle

[worthy yarrow]

Or learn the language before an api

[mortal hare]

no, really i love when my university tries to push an ORACLE APEX as a solution

its shit really

probably they've got a good offer from oracle to advertise their products

[valid basin]

He can learn some basics from rewriting imo. But yes you're right

[eternal oxide]

I stopped recomending Oracle when they tried to copyright an API

[wet breach]

The API is protected by copyright

not sure what you are on about

[spice oasis]

alternatives for PlayerArmorChangeEvent?

[wet breach]

The contention it came down to was the naming of some api methods where it was too generic of a name

[eternal oxide]

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/04/how-the-supreme-court-saved-the-software-industry-from-api-copyrights/

[wet breach]

it is protected by copyright

just the generic method names are not

If you are that confident that it is indeed not at all protected, then lets see you copy it and freely distribute it?

[eternal oxide]

By a 6-2 vote, the nation's highest court held that Google's copying of Oracle's Java API was fair use.

[wet breach]

the naming

read the court docs

otherwise don't throw some news article at me

I actually followed that case

[eternal oxide]

Try reading it instead of being rude

[wet breach]

it came down to the names

[wet breach]

court documents trumps what ever news article you read

news articles are not what define the case, the court documents out lines specifically what was at issue and what was not. And really it came down to naming conventions specifically the date utility methods.

anyways, Oracle owns the API and their rights over the api were not stripped

[eternal oxide]

There were two questions put before teh court but they only chose to answer teh second (not the copyright part but fair use).

So my original statement stands "I stopped recomending Oracle when they tried to copyright an API"

[wet breach]

right fair use means were you allowed to use it the way you were using it, not that the owner doesn't have copyright

[slender elbow]

they have always held copyright over the API

(well, after sun that is)

[eternal oxide]

Well thats debatable as the court refused to rule on copyright

[wet breach]

fair use is not the same as copyright. Fair use has to do with copyright and whether or not your usage of copyrighted material was legal

[eternal oxide]

Google and Microsoft argued that you should not be able to copyright an API, only the implementation

[wet breach]

you can't have fair use without copyright

if there is no copyright over the thing in question, then there is no case over fair use because all usage would be allowed

[lilac dagger]

what api are we talking about?

[eternal oxide]

In other words, the Supreme Court didn't provide any guidance on whether an API can be copyrighted—the main question everyone expected the court to answer. Instead, the court ruled that even if APIs can be copyrighted, Google's copying was protected by fair use.

The copyright has yet to be answered by a court

[wet breach]

Because of this the Federal law still applies until someone challenges it

that is how it works in the US

just because the supreme court ignored the question doesn't mean they lost copyright over it or that you are free to do whatever you want with it

[eternal oxide]

Even going by your logic I still don;t see how my original stament is in anyway invalid

[wet breach]

it is just the supreme court didn't address that topic and therefore whatever laws that govern such things still apply until supreme court gives an actual answer

That means, API's are copyrightable until supreme court says they are not

maybe in your country you can't copyright them, but in the US you can

[eternal oxide]

The moment Oracle attempted to sue Google for copyright infringement of their (claimed) API copyright I stopped recommending Oracle.

[slender elbow]

holds copyright of work
attempts to protect copyright of owned work
mfw

[eternal oxide]

If you are in the camp that an API can be copyright then you are correct. I'm in the other camp

I do not believe any API shoudl be under any copyright protections

[wet breach]

Businesses especially those that have publically traded companies like Oracle have no choice but to defend their IP. If they don't they get sued by their investors for devaluing their stock by freely letting go of IP without first addressing it with the investors and all kinds of other stuff

you may not like that a business fights for their copyrights and other stuff but the majority don't really have a choice on the matter

[wet breach]

unfortunately in the US, unless the copyright law is changed or the supreme court gives some kind of direct answer in regards to api's and copyright, they are copyrightable in the US.

[river oracle]

Copyright really needs to be reworked honestly

I'm no lawyer but I think it's a bit bonk that companies can hold copyrights for 94-95 years

[eternal oxide]

It does. Even Oracle lost on ALL 4 factors for fair use, the first being that it is unlikely to be copyrightable

[lilac dagger]

what's the point of having an api if you're gonna copyright it?

[eternal oxide]

exactly

[river oracle]

Like the entire point of copyright is to reward advancement or good ideas, but they end up damaging stuff if they can be held for a very long time. Also copyrights on public software is so weird

Just use a license or something 💀

[eternal oxide]

Blame Disney for the crazy length of Copyright

[river oracle]

I know they're exactly who I'm kinda referring too

[lilac dagger]

did you see what disney did with mikey?

[river oracle]

Yes and it's lame as hell

[lilac dagger]

they kinda let it expire, but they've modernized old mikey and basically they keep the copyright over it

[river oracle]

They like split his IP the "old" and "new"

[eternal oxide]

If I remember copyright was originally 10 years or somethign similary short

[lilac dagger]

i'm not sure if it'll hold if attacked

i hope not

[wet breach]

you have the right to license copyrighted material if you hold the copyright for said material

[river oracle]

Yeah I mean that's a good length, considering the point of copyright

[wet breach]

if copyight didn't apply to api's then why does every api have a license for its use?

[lilac dagger]

just use an api key to license it no?

[eternal oxide]

Just because you slap a label on it doesn;t mean its true or legal

[wet breach]

even bukkit/spigot has a license for the api and even paper

[wet breach]

Then why do businesses bother having a license for their api if you claim its not legal? Why does Oracle still have a license for their's?

[eternal oxide]

because they are hoping

[wet breach]

no, its more illegal to go against a court order

just fyi

[eternal oxide]

I've yet to see a court order upholding a copyright on an API. But I havn't looked

[lilac dagger]

but binding to an api doesn't really infringe on copyright no?

or am i wrong

[wet breach]

it depends on the license in question and what it says

[lilac dagger]

if i put a new frame on a painting it won't break on copyright no?

[wet breach]

going against the license is copyright infringement

[lilac dagger]

some people even modify the painting as long as it's the original it's fine no?

[eternal oxide]

That is why peopel argue against API copyright, because when you distribute your compiled code it includes a part of the API

[wet breach]

Modifications belong to the copyright holder

the only way a modification does not is if said modification could stand on its own

[lilac dagger]

if i mention a famous modern painting is it part of copyright?

[wet breach]

well no, speech is not the same thing

[eternal oxide]

it can be, depending on circumstances

I saw someone get sued for copyright when they use a picture of a building as a background when they were talkijng about the building in a news report

The building wasn;t copyright btu that specific image was. It didn;t even qualify for fair use

[lilac dagger]

hmm

[wet breach]

now, if you were wanting to talk about said picture

you would be allowed to show said picture to those you were talking to

that is called fair use

[eternal oxide]

yep

[lilac dagger]

this is what i think too, an api is a mention

[wet breach]

also one of the major factors in infringment is whether or not were you making any monetary value off of it as well

[lilac dagger]

unless you compile it into your own project 🤔

[neat jetty]

some1 help me compile a plugin?

[lilac dagger]

but if we're speaking about http get/post it should be fine no?

[lilac dagger]

alright, what are you struggling with?

[wet breach]

http is a standard

[lilac dagger]

ik it's a protocol

[fair rock]

A protocol with trust issues😂

[wet breach]

the writing for the standard is protected by copyright, not the thing it conveys

[lilac dagger]

indeed, it needs to be more (s)ecure and it'll be fine

[wet breach]

this is where you start getting into patents

however unlike copyright, patents are very short lived and once they expire you can't renew them

[eternal oxide]

patents are a nightmarte. SO corrupt

[wet breach]

I really don't like patents, mainly because the Patent office in the US tends to not do any research to see if a patent already exists as well as ignores some obvious rules in regards to what can and can't be patented

I would much rather have patent laws reworked and changed as opposed to copyright

for example, software can meet the requirements to be patented and I don't believe software should be patentable

[lilac dagger]

afaik you need to do the research yourself and more precise, you have to hire lawyers to do it for you

[wet breach]

at all

[wet breach]

except the US patent office has the database

and can do the searching if not better, where as they let you search their database

[lilac dagger]

but isn't the patent library public?

[wet breach]

but it seems dumb that you pay an a large fee for them to tell you did you look in our database

[wet breach]

yes but my point is, its their database

they could have searched considering they are paid

they are government employees

[lilac dagger]

i think you forget people being spammy

no human work force can account for that

[wet breach]

its not like its some private business that manages the database and forces you to pay them money to apply for a patent and then they decide whether or not you can have one. Since they have to decide if you meet the criterias you would think part of the decision making process is if there was a duplicate patent

[lilac dagger]

unless they use some sort of ai

[wet breach]

sure they can, its why it can take a few years to actually get a patent

[eternal oxide]

unless you are Nintendo

[wet breach]

lol

[lilac dagger]

i'm happy that nintendo didn't try to take palword for all they have in court for the bs patent

[eternal oxide]

Their "patent" is SO broad it covers way too many possibilities.

[lilac dagger]

the patents are for throwing some thing and catching something and another is for flying on a mount?

[shadow night]

lol

how did they even get that approved

[eternal oxide]

also in record time and AFTER palworld released

[lilac dagger]

they really want to corner the market for themselves

[wet breach]

because the Patent office in the US is stupid and doesn't actually do their job

[lilac dagger]

no ball throwing game for you or me

[wet breach]

they do verifications on random no name's when it comes to patents and approve for big brands and companies without even looking

[lilac dagger]

nintendo has the authority to rush things too

pretty sure same applies in the us

[young knoll]

Me OMW to patent plumbers

[lilac dagger]

you can't tell me google waits 3 years for a patent to apply in order to sell the idea

[shadow night]

what if I patented maths

[wet breach]

its why you will commonly see patent pending on some things

with a patent number still listed

[blazing ocean]

I particularly like the number 7, gonna patent it

[lilac dagger]

has to be something unique tho

[wet breach]

technically you could copy or make a similar product, but only until the patent is approved

[shadow night]

sine waves

[wet breach]

then you would have to stop making such things XD

[shadow night]

sine waves are quite unique

if I patented sine waves, would the world break down?

[lilac dagger]

but you know what to expect at sin (3.14159/2)

[wet breach]

personally I wish patents would go away

[eternal oxide]

The sun woudl stop sunning

[wet breach]

because I have yet to see any data or research actually prove its beneficial to competition and research

[shadow night]

just like my brain stops braining when it comes to math

[wet breach]

like some claim

I think I have seen more data that proves the opposite

[shadow night]

well, it's atleast a decent way to protect your invention

you don't want your business to die because some asshole did the same thing as your with -200% quality and +500% advertizements

[wet breach]

its called competition for a reason

you have to constantly develop and make stuff not ildly sit by because you made something

[shadow night]

competition is not always the most important thing

[wet breach]

it is

without it, you have no innovation

patents stop competition sometimes completely due to the penalties of just even slightly encrouching on someones patent lmao

[shadow night]

Well, this is kind of a two sided sword iykwim

[wet breach]

not really because I have yet to see any patent cause innovation

I have not once seen, heard, found anything where a business saw a patent and said I am going to compete with that. If there is a patent on something businesses don't go near it

[shadow night]

Without patents, you'll have a lot of people doing the same thing, theoretically reducing innovation, but maybe people will try to be better than others so more people buy their product, so they innovate
With patens, people can't do the same thing, so they'll try doing it better and more different initially, which is also causing innovative

[wet breach]

ok

show me the proof of that

[shadow night]

This is theory

[wet breach]

right, but the there is already research and data that proves patents being harmful, but not the other way around

[shadow night]

Maybe it won't go that way on smaller scale, but it probably will on bigger scale

[wet breach]

I am all for theory if there was actually any evidence of it =/

even inventors who have made things if you read their autobiographies they didn't invent or make stuff because they could patent it

or that because they could patent it was the reason they did

maybe a select few might have?

but for the most part people don't invent stuff because of patents, they invent stuff because they want to solve some kind of problem or improve something

[lilac dagger]

patent troll is a thing too no?

[wet breach]

it is

however, it is also easy to lose your patent that way too

patent trolls lose their patents when you can prove they have no intention on capitalising on their patent

[shadow night]

I believe patents might promote smaller companies? Idk tho
Cuz smaller companies can probably grow bigger by patenting something and doing that, but it will be hard with no patent, as a big company will be able to steal their invention easily and do it on a bigger scale

[wet breach]

IE, they are not trying to setup anything in order to actually create said thing or offer it etc

the purpose of a patent is to allow an inventor time to reap the rewards of their creation, however if you don't attempt to do this after a few years you can actually lose your patent

however, in regards to the whole its suppose to let the inventor reap the rewards, everyone just sells their patents if they manage to get one to some company since its very cost prohibitive to an individual to try and actually do the thing you invented

so the reality is, very few individuals actually make so called millions unless you manage to sell the patent for millions which is not common

[wet breach]

unless they have the funding, they are realistically better off just selling it to some company or convincing a company to invest in them to have the ability to produce it

generally you would try to sell your patent to a company that would most likely benefit from it because it is either in the industry where they operate already or closely related

so for example, you invented something and it has to do with vehicles, you are better off getting a car manufacturer to buy the patent

[shadow night]

In this case the inventor still profits from the patent tho

[wet breach]

then it would be to try and get the manufacturer to buy your product or for you to try to become a car manufacturer that has that feature

[shadow night]

Which the inventor simply couldn't if those weren't a thing

[wet breach]

assuming they buy your patent

[shadow night]

If they don't, you still own a patent somebody might want

[wet breach]

if they don't like your thing they won't buy it and even if they do like it they are not going to shell out millions for it unless you came up with something revolutionary which as I said is actually not common

[wet breach]

that has an expiration

that does not get extended just because you sold it

[shadow night]

I'm gonna make an efficient water powered engine, is that enough

[wet breach]

idk, you will have to try. but don't be surprised if you don't make money or invent the thing for quite a few years

its also not uncommon that inventors break even as well

when they sell a patent or just come out slightly ahead

an example is, lets say it cost you $10k to invent something but it took 5 years, and the most you can get for your patent that someone is willing to pay is $15k

then you made $1k/yr

[sly topaz]

hydrogen engines have been tried so much, yet it's one the same wavelength as nuclear fusion

10 years away

[lilac dagger]

i heard hydrogen is not really efficient

like it takes a lot of energy to create the fuel, transport and so on

[near furnace]

any way to remove this Bungee text?

[vast ledge]

Don't use Bungeecord?

[near furnace]

what???

[vast ledge]

Then you won't have the bungee text

[near furnace]

isnt there any work around

[vast ledge]

Idk, maybe stop the packet with the server software from sending and replace it with smth else?

[near furnace]

how can i do that

[vast ledge]

By preventing the server packet from sending it and sending another one in it's place

[near furnace]

will using velocity fix it?

[rough drift]

no

[vast ledge]

Velocity will say velocity

[rough drift]

^

[near furnace]

and you think its that easy to edit server packets being sent

[vast ledge]

Yes

[rough drift]

not exactly

[vast ledge]

For some one that know how to

[near furnace]

i don't

[vast ledge]

I mean if u never worked with em or don't have experience ye its a pain in the ass

[vast ledge]

Why u tryin to hide Bungeecord from the info anyways?

You could maybe fork the bungee jar change the message and recompile, don't quote me on that tho

Tldr: There's no point in changing the name and it isn't easy

[blazing ocean]

@near furnace You can send a plugin message to the minecraft:brand channel with the text you want. See https://wiki.vg/Plugin_channels#minecraft:brand

[rough drift]

oh SHI

noice

[blazing ocean]

You can even make animations with that

one sec

see this

[rough drift]

neat

[near furnace]

i just wanna configure the f3 menu 😭 what is all this

[blazing ocean]

Why would you even want to change that?

After all you're giving credit to the contributors of Bungee by naming it in the server brand

[near furnace]

do you see a big ugly text saying "Bungee SNAPSHOT git 1209312093 1209xXJodiaj@#)(Da"

[blazing ocean]

I mean are people really going to care?

Probably not

[near furnace]

can this fix it? or can I just make my own little plugin that lets me configure the f3 info

[blazing ocean]

there are several plugins doing that already

[pseudo hazel]

that plugin doesnt look like what you want

[pure dagger]

how to check if block is in world guards region

[blazing ocean]

http://lmgtfy2.com/?iie=1&q=how+to+check+if+block+is+in+world+guards+region

[pure dagger]

i think i found

[blazing ocean]

it's literally

the second result on google

[pure dagger]

but there is no instance.getRegionManager

[blazing ocean]

have you considered

asking in the worldguard discord

[pure dagger]

no

[uneven marlin]

Hello, i cant get and damage entity with raycasting, what could be the problem?

  ((Damageable) raycastEntity).damage(10);
}

[eternal night]

rayTraceBlocks

[sly topaz]

there's a raytrace method for entities, use that

[uneven marlin]

lmao, sorry i am a bit stupid

[clear elm]

Easy

[pure dagger]

what does this ==: mean? (i dont know what plguin is this from

[clear elm]

That’s a config

[pure dagger]

==:

what does this mean

[clear elm]

Ah

Idk

[chrome beacon]

That's there to tell Spigot what type of object there is

[pure dagger]

oh......

[sly topaz]

it is the key spigot uses to determine the class of the serialized object, as Olivo said

if you don't want that key, you may make your own serialization format that doesn't depend on bukkit's

[upper hazel]

Is it possible to create a fake player that plugins can not distinguish from the real one?

[candid galleon]

yes

[upper hazel]

and will interact with him

like real

[candid galleon]

get a new computer

[upper hazel]

lol

[candid galleon]

buy microsoft account

[upper hazel]

fr

[candid galleon]

log in

tadah

[upper hazel]

fr

i need more easly option

[sly topaz]

what do you need this for

[nova notch]

can't you just use offline mode?

[lilac dagger]

citizens npcs are pretty realistic

i'm pretty sure you can code them any way you want

[fading drift]

on my local environment I can run CompletableFuture.runAsync and it works fine and logs fine

but on my pterodactyl panel it wont actually do anything

im so confused

[upper hazel]

Vault will interact with npc? I don't think so

[lilac dagger]

you can code them to

[eternal oxide]

Vault for permissions? yes they can be recognised

you should fake a login event though

[upper hazel]

I don't want to customize every plugin and somehow change their behavior it's too much like female coding

[lilac dagger]

well, of course there's a lot of work ahead

you're asking for a bot to act natural as a player

[fading drift]

pterodactyl:

[22:06:04 INFO]: [xincraft-lobby] 1 Test logging on thread Server thread

[eternal oxide]

for other plugins to think your NPC is an actual player you only need to fire a login and join event before spawning them

[inner mulch]

ive never used gradle, whats better kotlin dsl or groovy?

[fading drift]

local

[eternal oxide]

looks like ptera is only listening to the main thread

[fading drift]

however I dont think the code is actually executing on the completable futures at all

whats a good way to test

[eternal oxide]

do a Bukkit.broadcastMessage

[upper hazel]

I need somehow create fake player in core level

I don't think plugins will interacting with npc like they players

But if this so

[lilac dagger]

they do

[fading drift]

can that be called async

[eternal oxide]

yes

[lilac dagger]

you need to trigger the player events

[upper hazel]

What if I not has citizes?

[lilac dagger]

and i think you can use the player as the command sender

[fading drift]

okay will get back to u

[upper hazel]

Citizes not free 😦

[eternal oxide]

Citizens is free to build yourself

Pay to get support

[upper hazel]

Oh

Lol

[fading drift]

@eternal oxide its genuinelt just not executing it

what the ufck

[upper hazel]

So npc not have only join event?

[eternal oxide]

join event is a Bukkit event

[fading drift]

but I run this at the start of my plugin:

which is literally the same thing

[upper hazel]

I need start login and join event in nms before create npc right?

[eternal oxide]

no

its a Bukkit event

just fire one for your NPC

[upper hazel]

What the "fire one"

[eternal oxide]

pluginManager.callEvent(new BlahEvent

[upper hazel]

Oh

[eternal oxide]

all you are doing is telling other plugins that xxx player joined

[upper hazel]

Just call event before spawn

Alr

[eternal oxide]

well you need the Player instance

so fire it whenever you want, once you have teh Player instance

[upper hazel]

I need nms ye?

[eternal oxide]

no

well craftbukkit to get teh bukkit entity from your ServerPlayer

[upper hazel]

I don't can get him from citizes API?

Oh wait

You mean

Craft player or like this?

[eternal oxide]

probably, npc.getEntity()

"Should" return you an Bukkit entity

[upper hazel]

Alr I will try

[eternal oxide]

https://jd.citizensnpcs.co/net/citizensnpcs/api/npc/NPC.html#getEntity()

[upper hazel]

And sending packets for the player to see the fake player in tab is not enough ?there is a huge amount of data packets to simulate ?

[eternal oxide]

not if you want other plugins to see it as a player

to be a player other plugins have to see it join

[upper hazel]

Connection process? Or just event call?

[eternal oxide]

just the event call

[upper hazel]

Uhh

I was think I need somehow register player data in server list

Bypassing the connection

Or citizes already do this?

[eternal oxide]

server lilst? Do you mean in tab?

[upper hazel]

I mean smth like container

[eternal oxide]

No idea what you mean

[upper hazel]

I imagined the process of creating a player as follows: when connecting to the server craftbukkit creates a player profile and adds it to some container on which it calls events

[eternal oxide]

it does, but you are not doing any of that., You are creating fake players/NPC and want it to be recognised by Vault and other plugins

all you have to do for it to be seen as a player by other plugins is fire a join event

events do not pass beyond the server. its literally just a message all plugins will see

[upper hazel]

That doesn't mean I have to call every single event related to an player

[eternal oxide]

no

[upper hazel]

So this mean join even do all this process? I need not only for vault

[eternal oxide]

no

all the join event does is tell all plugins that xxx player joined

[upper hazel]

Yes but how plugins will get this fake players from others events

[eternal oxide]

all other events are handled by craftbukkit IF your NPC is spawned correctly

[upper hazel]

Hm

Alr

I think I see how this work

[young knoll]

Does citizens actually handle the NPC server side?

I figured it was all packets

[eternal oxide]

No clue

it has a Bukkit entity so I assume it is fully spawned

If so it shoudl trigger events

[young knoll]

Fair

[upper hazel]

I was think this hard but...

[eternal oxide]

Only way to know is try it

[upper hazel]

Oh my fingers

[wraith delta]

It makes use of protocolLib to mirror the players skin & armor. but the regular mobs still work without it. if it used its own packets i dont think it would use pLib

[young knoll]

Ah so the internal entity isn’t a player?

Idk I’ve not really looked at it

[wraith delta]

When i remove plib the npc has a random skin. there is a such thing as Player entity

[young knoll]

Yes but they’re a bit more complicated than your average entity

[sly topaz]

eh, not really

the major difference is that they require a connection, however you can just provide a fake one if you want to replicate a player

usually that isn't efficient nor recommendable, so people instead go for manipulating the type of the entity in the spawn packets instead

[mortal vortex]

I thought they were? Since they have player like mechanics?

[fading drift]

how the fuck is this possible

if therye running the same code

how tf is code running inside competablefuture runasync running on the server thread

[slender elbow]

it depends on how you're using it

CF isn't all that intuitive after all

[fading drift]

one sec I'll shwo code

wait could it be that I think locally I'm running java 8

but on my panel I'm running java 17

I got this test logging method

    public static void testLogging() {
        XinCraftCore.get().getLogger().info("1 Test logging on thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage("1 Test logging on thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());

        CompletableFuture.runAsync(() -> {
            XinCraftCore.get().getLogger().info("2 Test logging on thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("2 Test logging on thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
        }).thenAccept(a -> {
            XinCraftCore.get().getLogger().info("3 Test logging on thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("3 Test logging on thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
        });


        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(XinCraftCore.get(), () -> {
            XinCraftCore.get().getLogger().info("4 Test logging on thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("4 Test logging on thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
        });

        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskAsynchronously(XinCraftCore.get(), () -> {
            XinCraftCore.get().getLogger().info("5 Test logging on thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("5 Test logging on thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
        });

        CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> {
            try {
                XinCraftCore.get().getLogger().info("6 Test logging on thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
                Bukkit.broadcastMessage("6 Test logging on thread " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
                return true;
            } catch(Throwable th) {
                th.printStackTrace();
                return null;
            }
        });
    }```

run on onEnable

and now it doesn't even run the code inside the CompletableFuture blocks

however I use CompletableFuture.runAsync somewhere else in my plugin

and it works

above is called inside the ctor of my plugin

[fading drift]

not it

except I've just tried my logging method inside the ctor and it still doesnt run

[slender elbow]

and how are you using it exactly?

[slender elbow]

does it not log anything during startup/enabling either?

[fading drift]

I ran in ctor and in onenable and also when a player joins server event, none work

which is called in the ctor

of my lobby plugin

wait I got somewhere

these log fine

this one doesnt

it works up to before new MatchCommunicator

the code that runs there is the following

• mongo stuff that doesn't touch completablefuture

        CompletableFuture.runAsync(() -> {
            try (Jedis jedis = new XinCraftJedis()) {
                XinCraftCore.get().getLogger().info("Subscribing to " + channel + " on thread: " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
                jedis.subscribe(getSub(), channel);
            }
        });```
and then
```java
        CompletableFuture.runAsync(() -> {
            try (Jedis jedis = new XinCraftJedis()) {
                XinCraftCore.get().getLogger().info("Subscribing to " + channel + " on thread: " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
                jedis.subscribe(getSub(), channel);
            }
        });```

for 2 different subscribers for jedis pub/sub

I'm going to try move these subscribers to new Thread instead of completable future

it fucking worked

I want to know why though

[slender elbow]

it sounds like you are exhausting the common fjp by blocking in it

by default CF will use the common pool, if you push enough tasks and all of them block, no new tasks can be push there

you can pass your own Executor so that doesn't happen, such as CF.runAsync(() -> { blah blah }, task -> bukkitscheduler.runTaskAsync(task)) or whatever

[fading drift]

for this jedis operation, what would you recommend is best

having its own thread per subsribe channel, or running completable future on a different executor

considering it runs in the ctor I believe I can't use bukkit's schedular because it relies on the plugin being loaded

[fading drift]

that does make sense though, because pterodactyl must just get worn out easier than my localhost

[slender elbow]

you can have your own ExecutorService as well, such as a Executors.newCachedThreadPool or something
I'm not all that familiar with jedis, but if a single jedis instance can subscribe to multiple channels then it should probably be kept in one thread, otherwise one thread per channel but that sounds yucky

[fading drift]

I had so many issues when using a single jedis instance for multiple channels as I was subscriving to 3 different channels and it would just get them all mixed up

whats the difference in using my own thread pool than just creating a new thread

if its blocking it will never change threads so it doesnt make sense to use a pool right

[young knoll]

Is the difference in common pool size due to a command line arg or something

[fading drift]

maybe the panel just had less allocated cpu power?

thats my guess

[left jay]

would you believe me if i said that i dont know nor used enums?

[vagrant stratus]

Updating a plugin to 1.21.1, tf's Particle.REDSTONE been replaced with?

[slender elbow]

DUST

it's the vanilla names

[slender elbow]

available cores

[vagrant stratus]

Finally?

[slender elbow]

Runtime.getRuntime().getProcessorCount() * 2 iirc

[slender elbow]

yeah!!

[vagrant stratus]

POG

[young knoll]

Ah

[timid berry]

how can i get the amount of players online in a spigot server from a bungee plugin?

this.getProxy().getServerInfo("onlinecounter").getPlayers();

i wonder if it is this

try it and see

i will

[mortal vortex]

int playerCount = server.getPlayers().size();

[young knoll]

That’s not gonna work on a proxy :p

[timid berry]

what is server?

[timid berry]

@young knoll will this work?

[young knoll]

No idea

[timid berry]

okay

[young knoll]

Tbh I’ve never worked with proxies

[timid berry]

?tse

i will

[mortal vortex]

Really? In my instance, server would be getProxy().getServers().values()

for (ServerInfo server : getProxy().getServers().values()) {
            int playerCount = server.getPlayers().size();
// somethn
        }

[timid berry]

new BukkitRunnable() {
public void run() {
//something
}
}
}.runTaskTimer(OnlineCounter.this, 0, 20);

what is the bungee equivilent of this?

i want to do something every x seconds

[young knoll]

Huh I didn’t know the proxy had that data

I guess it makes sense though, since it handles connecting players to that proxy

[timid berry]

i want to do this in my bungee

but

this is for spigot plugins only

[summer scroll]

I'm developing a plugin to random spawn mobs in the survival world but I got a performance problem. Is World#getHighestBlockAt is just a heavy task or it's because I'm trying to random spawn in an unloaded chunk so it has to be loaded first?

Code: https://paste.md-5.net/zudigowaxi.cs (line 28)

[young knoll]

It’s loading the chunk

[mortal vortex]

getProxy().getScheduler()?

[summer scroll]

Ah okay, checking if the chunk is loaded would improve it by a lot right?

[young knoll]

Yes

[summer scroll]

Thank you!

[mortal vortex]

getProxy().getScheduler().schedule(this, () -> {
    //something
}, 0, 1);

[fading drift]

do you use velocity?

[mortal vortex]

@timid berry

[timid berry]

oh thanks

@mortal vortex

[young knoll]

Gotta give it a TimeUnit I guess

[timid berry]

what does that mean

[young knoll]

It literally just wants a TimeUnit

So TimeUnit.SECONDS

or milliseconds or whatever

[timid berry]

yes

but how do i set the number?

getProxy().getScheduler().schedule(this, () -> {
//something
}, 0, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

oh is 0 the secs?

every 0 secs

[young knoll]

Mhm

[mortal vortex]

Time unit is just a better way of dealing with time than each tick

[timid berry]

i see

whats the point of doing things every 20 ticks? like i know the client does that but since we control the server why would we go by 20's

?
