[chrome beacon]

Also It's a bit annoying asking for code snippets

We do need all the relevant code here

[sly topaz]

I mean, it can't be helped, it isn't like they don't want to share the code, it is that they can't

best we can do is recommend ways for them to debug it rather than asking for small bits really, but I am curious as to where this is pointing to so I ask lol

[chrome beacon]

I'll get some sleep now cause 1am troubleshooting isn't going to help anyone

Hope you guys can solve the issue

Do use the debugger it's the easiest way to track down the issue

instead of going through line by line manually and make simple reading mistakes like I just did 💀

[proper cobalt]

dude its some bs that

[sly topaz]

you still haven't changed the method signature

change it to public @NotNull EnumMap<DataTypeImpl, AbstractDataType> toEnumMap()

[proper cobalt]

ight i did

lemme see if it works

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[proper cobalt]

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

same error ig

[sly topaz]

well now the error points to toEnumMap

what is this.getMap again?

[proper cobalt]

so the class extends DataMapManager

of DataMapManager<@NotNull DataTypeImpl, @NotNull AbstractDataType>

[sly topaz]

at com.himerarp.computer3.pc.impl.component.storage.StorageData.toEnumMap(StorageData.java:33) what is this line also, just to know where exactly the cast is happening

[proper cobalt]

enumMap.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());

line 33

[sly topaz]

well that doesn't make any sense

why would it be trying to cast it to a float there if the enum map is indeed AbstractDataType

[proper cobalt]

mad confusing bro

[glossy basalt]

is spigot breaking api or something, i cant do /skulls with essential x

[rough ibex]

why can you not?

[glossy basalt]

wel i can

but it gives alex head

or steve

[rough ibex]

did you update essentials x

[glossy basalt]

how do i see what version i am using

am on aternos

nvm i found

i am on most recent yes

[chrome beacon]

Move to #help-server this channel is for development

[glossy basalt]

k

[chrome beacon]

Also you're probably just on the stable build. There's probably a newer dev build

[wet breach]

it does if they are not overriding the method they think they are

might be wise to see what the IDE thinks the method is coming from

however, I think I might know the issue though

[wet breach]

what java version you using to compile?

[proper cobalt]

17

[wet breach]

what version is that lib compiled with?

[proper cobalt]

17

[cosmic elk]

can anyone help with this?

[proper cobalt]

we are on java 17 - paper 1.19.4

[wet breach]

is that lib yours?

[proper cobalt]

yeah

[wet breach]

if both projects are yours then I think it might just be an IJ issue

[proper cobalt]

IJ issue?

its runtime not compile time

[wet breach]

and issues from compiling don't affect runtime?

[proper cobalt]

i guess they do but what can IJ be doing

[wet breach]

IJ does quite a bit of its own stuff

[proper cobalt]

mm i see

[wet breach]

I would try clearing caches, and restarting IJ and then try re-compiling with a clean build

to just make sure its not the IDE doing weird things

[proper cobalt]

alright ill give it a go

[chrome beacon]

Gradle is compiling

Not Intellij

They're not using Artifacts

[wet breach]

it doesn't matter, IJ does its own stuff when it comes to those plugins etc. Unless you specify a very specific compiler to be used the one from the IDE will be used

[chrome beacon]

Plugins don't touch the compiler

That would be a real bad idea

[wet breach]

no

how do you think annotations work?

[proper cobalt]

aight its re-indexing n shi

[wet breach]

they are not magic and have to be intercepted either before or after the compiler depending on what it does 🙂

[chrome beacon]

Which is why they're specified in the build file

[wet breach]

either way, it touches the compiling portion where you said it doesn't

[chrome beacon]

And not in Intellij settings

[wet breach]

not sure what settings has to do with this

anyways I am not going to argue anymore, unless you can specifically prove to me that nothing in IJ ever touches the compiler I simply am going to ignore what you are saying

[chrome beacon]

You can see the command it runs to start the process

[wet breach]

and no I am not talking about stuff in settings. If you don't specify a compiler for gradle or maven plugins to use, they will default to whatever the IDE provides

[chrome beacon]

Yes I never said it won't

I said that Intellij doesn't inject stuff in to the pipeline

[wet breach]

ok, IJ's compiler isn't vanilla Java compiler

[proper cobalt]

aight i invalidated chaches n all that same error tho

[chrome beacon]

Intellij allows you to pick the compiler during install

It doesn't ship with one

[wet breach]

It has its own o.O

[chrome beacon]

Are you thinking of Eclipse

[kind hatch]

You can also change anything in the settings or in the respective dependency manager file.

[wet breach]

and no

[chrome beacon]

Jetbrains do have their own

[wet breach]

are you using any annotations?

[proper cobalt]

no

[wet breach]

something has to be changing your source code somewhere because it doesn't just magically require a float when you created the method in the lib to not accept a float

[chrome beacon]

They are using Lombok

So annotations do exist

[wet breach]

so....it could be the annotation processor screwing it up

in that case, either make sure your annotation processor is updated version or trying removing the annotation stuff

[proper cobalt]

i mean i have lombok

thats abt it

not in that class tho

@Getter
@Setter
@AllArgsConstructor
public abstract class AbstractDataType {
    private final DataTypeImpl dataType;
    private final int multiplier;
    private float amount;
}

could it be here

[wet breach]

this is one of the reasons I don't like using annotations lol

[kind hatch]

What version are you compiling against?

[sly topaz]

this isn't an annotations issue

it is just the data being passed being the wrong type, however we don't know where it comes from since we can't see the code

though I guess if they had delombok setup the stack trace would be more useful

[kind hatch]

If they are trying to compile against 1.21.4, then they shouldn’t be using enummaps.

Stuff was getting changed over to individual classes and registry shiz

[wet breach]

it could be if its not putting the right stuff in, or changing it incorrectly

[sly topaz]

this isn't an enum map for a minecraft type, it's their own custom data type

so it is alright

[kind hatch]

Ah

[wet breach]

they are compiling against 1.19.4

[sly topaz]

well, anything above 1.14 anyway

[wet breach]

at least that is what the stack trace shows the version of them using anyways

[sly topaz]

I don't think we can help you with this one tbh john

[wet breach]

can't say they are indeed compiling for that since I don't know their build setup 😛

[sly topaz]

it is matter of sitting down and looking at what the debugger tells you

[proper cobalt]

ill provide any piece

can also screenshare if u want

[wet breach]

where IJ is telling you the type is wrong, can you tell IJ to follow where it is coming from?

like tell it to open the class the method originates from

I don't use IJ so not sure if that is possible. On Netbeans I could do that

[sly topaz]

if you still didn't figure out when I'm done cooking, let's do that

[sly topaz]

it's possible, but the thing is that the type isn't wrong since it's hidden behind a bunch of generics

[kind hatch]

It is possible. Just gotta ctrl click the method and it shows usages.

[proper cobalt]

its not

[proper cobalt]

alright thank you bro

[wet breach]

well, it has to be wrong somewhere otherwise runtime wise it would be correct

[proper cobalt]

IJ isnt saying any problems

[sly topaz]

well that'd be the case if we were only dealing with concrete types, but since there's a bunch of generic types being used, that wouldn't be the case

[wet breach]

https://discordapp.com/channels/690411863766466590/741875863271899136/1315109378063470622

according to this, it does

[sly topaz]

that was just them forgetting to change the method signature, they fixed it afterwards

[wet breach]

ah

[wet breach]

even if we are using a bunch of generics, it means somewhere along the way its being changed incorrectly or the method is requiring the incorrect type

[proper cobalt]

that was WAY after

it was originally a run time bug

[kind hatch]

What’s the current error?

[proper cobalt]

same as the original

no progress

[kind hatch]

What is the original error? I joined late to this convo

[sly topaz]

https://paste.md-5.net/eqegarivaf.rb this was the og error

[kind hatch]

Class cast exception.
Where is the code responsible?

[sly topaz]

after we changed toEnumMap to return a EnumMap<DataTypeImpl, AbstractDataType> from EnumMap<DataTypeImpl, Float>, it became this one: https://paste.md-5.net/iqudoxahac.rb

this is the code responsible (taken from #help-development message):

    @Override
    public @NotNull ItemStack getItemStack() {
        ItemStack itemStack = super.getItemStack();
        itemStack.editMeta(meta -> StorageKey.DATA.set(meta, this.data.toEnumMap()));
        return itemStack;
    }

[kind hatch]

It’s still the same error tho?

[proper cobalt]

thanks for filling him in javier

🙏

[wet breach]

somewhere they are using an incorrect generic type that only throws a warning in compiling but in runtime errors out

[sly topaz]

    @RequiredArgsConstructor
    @Getter
    public enum StorageKey implements IPDCKey {
        DATA("data", DataType.asEnumMap(DataTypeImpl.class, DataType.FLOAT));

        private final @NotNull String key;
        private final @NotNull PersistentDataType<?, ?> type;
        private final @NotNull RPComputer3 instance = RPComputer3.instance;
    }

and this is StorageKey.DATA

[wet breach]

well, there is one instance of where its requiring a float

[sly topaz]

finally, I believe this is the set method:

    default <T> void set(@Nullable PersistentDataHolder holder, T value) {
        if (holder != null) {
            PersistentDataType<Object, T> type = this.getType();
            holder.getPersistentDataContainer().set(this.getNamespace(), type, value);
        }
    }

[kind hatch]

Hmmm, it’s times like these it would probably help if I knew/used Lombok

[wet breach]

so, its possible that float is being inputted but they are trying to grab it out as something else that isn't compatible

[wet breach]

this is one of the reasons I don't really like using generics if I don't have to 😛

[proper cobalt]

all it does it make getters for fields

[wet breach]

be surprised in how often it can be a source of problems, but your case isn't one of those

[young knoll]

Tbf it can do a lot more than getters and setters

But things just get more hacky the deeper you go

[wet breach]

lol

[proper cobalt]

thats all i use tho

[proper cobalt]

yeah wouldve figured it out by now if it were

[sly topaz]

DATA's PDT is MapDataType<EnumMap<DataTypeImpl, Float>, DataTypeImpl, Float> from the looks of it lol, that looks wrong

[kind hatch]

Is this a custom data type for the PDC?

[sly topaz]

the PDT comes from MoreDataTypes lib

[proper cobalt]

isnt it meant to be EnumMap<DataTypeImpl, Float>

[proper cobalt]

yeah using jeffs thing

[wet breach]

this looks like it might be the source of your problem

[proper cobalt]

how is it that tho

[wet breach]

Ah so we should have Alex here then

[proper cobalt]

i dont think thats the problem tho

[sly topaz]

it could be I am reading this function signature wrong, but this:
DataType.asEnumMap(DataTypeImpl.class, DataType.FLOAT)
would indeed return MapDataType<EnumMap<DataTypeImpl, Float>, DataTypeImpl, Float> if we look at this method signature

static <E extends Enum<E>, V> MapDataType<EnumMap<E, V>, E, V> asEnumMap(@NotNull Class<E> enumClazz, @NotNull PersistentDataType<?, V> valueType) {
        return asGenericMap(() -> {
            return new EnumMap(enumClazz);
        }, asEnum(enumClazz), valueType);
    }

[wet breach]

who knows, but what I do know is he knows his libs though lol

[young knoll]

That’s a lot of EVs

[sly topaz]

but maybe that's just how the thing is serialized so idk honestly

[young knoll]

It’s like Pokémon up in here

[wet breach]

that is how I read it too

[proper cobalt]

huh

how would that cause my casting problem

man im cooked

this makes 0 sense

[sly topaz]

what happens if you change it to a normal map instead of an enum map

[proper cobalt]

let me show u how it was before

it used to be like that and it worked

old enum ^

[kind hatch]

New enum?

[sly topaz]

so you just changed the name

[wet breach]

PersistentDataType was also changed too

[proper cobalt]

i dont think that really matters

[proper cobalt]

yeah and removed NONE 💀

[sly topaz]

I checked MorePersistentDataTypes to be sure, it is just a constant that points to PersistentDataType.FLOAT

[wet breach]

ah

[sly topaz]

you still haven't shown what this#getMap is

[short pilot]

hey fellas, in spigot 1.20 and onwards how do you create custom mobs?

i'm trying to make a simple zombie but using old docs is outdated idk what the entity classes are now

for example

[chrome beacon]

?mappings

[undone axle]

Compare different mappings with this website: https://mappings.dev/

[chrome beacon]

?nms

[undone axle]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[kind hatch]

Remapped names are now common

[proper cobalt]

so

aight wait

[short pilot]

is creating custom mobs still the same as before?

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

[short pilot]

also im wondering if you can set aggression to entities not defined in default vanilla behavior

ie iron golem attacking players normally

[kind hatch]

Depends on how far back you are lol

[wet breach]

which of his libs are we using here? Can't seem to find it on his github lol

[chrome beacon]

You can

[short pilot]

i believe you extend existing mob class and then set attributes and you can set custom goals, etc

[sly topaz]

https://github.com/mfnalex/MorePersistentDataTypes this one

[short pilot]

hm do any of you have modern examples of custom mob code

[wet breach]

that was why I couldn't find it, I was looking under his Jeff Media

[orchid iron]

Hi, can someone explain why squids are moving even tho i set no ai and has no gravity?

[chrome beacon]

It's the same as it's been for years but with new method/class names

Check mappings site to convert

[short pilot]

ok

ERM

how do i use the mapping sites

[kind hatch]

Select the version your are developing for and use the search box to type in the old names.

[short pilot]

i see

[wet breach]

they are shading this into their project right?

[short pilot]

so entityZombie is now under package net.minecraft.world.entity.monster.EntityZombie ?

[sly topaz]

I'd assume so, I don't know how their thing is setup

[proper cobalt]

pretty much

[wet breach]

right....another thing we need to be shown

[sly topaz]

let's make a thread

[proper cobalt]

yeah that would be useful

[chrome beacon]

You want the Mojang mappings ones

[short pilot]

so to get the minecraft packages i have to run buildtools right

oh

[chrome beacon]

?nms

[undone axle]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[chrome beacon]

^ to get Minecraft package and such

[kind hatch]

Yes, with the —remapped flag

[short pilot]

what's the reason? is it for future development and whatnot

or best practice

[chrome beacon]

BuildTools you mean?

Or the mappings?

[short pilot]

actually both, why isnt the minecraft included by default

[chrome beacon]

Copyright law

[short pilot]

i guess im used to seeing it for modding

oh

[chrome beacon]

Can't distribute Mojangs code

[short pilot]

i see

[chrome beacon]

As for the mappings you'll have a real bad time without them

[short pilot]

i thought buildtools was for setting up spigot servers too right

[kind hatch]

It is

[chrome beacon]

Everything except class/package names will be obfuscated

[kind hatch]

Multipurpose

[short pilot]

i see

[wet breach]

Technically it is in a way, however the minecraft jar isn't accessible via normal means because mojang forbids distributing of their stuff.

buildtools does indeed download the minecraft.jar though and then modifies it to its needs and then bukkit and spigot are built against it

[short pilot]

i c

having trouble with buildtools, do i run it in my plugin's root directory?

the wiki suggests its own folder

[wet breach]

I personally use gitbash to run buildtools

and yeah have it in its own directory because its going to create files and directories in the place it is ran from

[short pilot]

ok

how do i add it as a dependency

[sly topaz]

if you already ran build tools with the remapped argument, just follow the steps ofthe blogpost

[short pilot]

i was looking at this but couldnt find it https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

[sly topaz]

wdym

the remapped flag or what?

if you are on windows, you can just use the exe and it'll be a checkbox in the gui

if you are not on windows, then you'll have to run it from the terminal

[short pilot]

how to add as a dependency

i ran with the flag already

[sly topaz]

?nms

[undone axle]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[sly topaz]

I meant this blogpost sorry

[short pilot]

wait so if i use gradle i cant use the buildtools gui or anything?

so i see, i use this ? https://github.com/patrick-choe/mojang-spigot-remapper

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id("io.github.patrick.remapper") version "1.4.2"
}

        name = "spigotmc-repo"
        url = "https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/"
    }
    maven {
        name = "sonatype"
        url = "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/"

    compileOnly("org.spigotmc:spigot:1.21.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT:remapped-mojang")
}
..........

[short pilot]

is initPathfinder not a thing anymore?

[sly topaz]

if you depend on spigot, you don't have to depend on the spigot-api

[sly topaz]

where is that from and what are you trying to do with it?

[short pilot]

i see

    @Override
    protected void registerGoals() {
        super.registerGoals();
        // Add custom goals here
        this.targetSelector.addGoal(1, new NearestAttackableTargetGoal<>(this, .../

    }

}

i tried registerGoals

[sly topaz]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/pathfinder-goal.655543/

this mentions you have to do it in the constructor apparently

[short pilot]

oh what

im so confused haha

how do i make my entity not target players if it is a zombie?

[sly topaz]

you just remove the pathfinder goal

[short pilot]

hm how does the goal class work

public class CustomWitherSkeleton extends WitherSkeleton {
    public CustomWitherSkeleton(EntityType<? extends WitherSkeleton> entitytypes, Level world) {
        super(entitytypes, world);

        this.collides = false;
        this.setInvulnerable(false);
        this.setCanPickUpLoot(false);
        this.setAggressive(false);
        this.setCustomNameVisible(true);
        this.targetSelector.addGoal(1, new NearestAttackableTargetGoal<>(this, Sheep.class, true));
    }

    @Override
    protected void registerGoals() {
//        super.registerGoals(); Sets default mob logic

    }

}

so now i made a custom skeleton mob

how do i register it?

[lilac dagger]

Add it to the world

level().addentity

Or something like this

level().addFreshEntity(this, SpawnReason.CUSTOM);

This being the custom entity

[drowsy helm]

double angle = context.angle;

            // Calculate new armor stand position
            double x = RADIUS * Math.cos(angle);
            double z = RADIUS * Math.sin(angle);


            Location newLocation = location.clone();
            newLocation.setYaw(0);
            newLocation.setPitch(0);
            context.setOffset(new Vector3f((float)x, 0, (float)z));



            // Calculate tangent vector
            Vector3f tangent = new Vector3f(
                    (float) (-RADIUS * Math.sin(angle)), // Tangent X
                    0f,                                // Tangent Y
                    (float) (RADIUS * Math.cos(angle))  // Tangent Z
            );
            tangent.normalize();
            // Up vector
            Vector3f up = new Vector3f(0, 1, 0);

            Quaternionf quaternion = new Quaternionf();
            quaternion.lookAlong(tangent, up);
            context.setRightRotation(quaternion);



            // Increment angle
            angle += Math.toRadians(5); // Adjust the step size for rotation speed
            if (angle >= 2 * Math.PI) {
                angle = 0; // Reset angle to avoid precision loss over time
            }
            context.setAngle(angle);
            context.updateConfig();
            entity.setConfiguration();

Can any smart math person tell me why my projectile is facing the wrong way? I am using interpolation now so I feel that might be part of the issue?

[short pilot]

do i have to register it in the main class?

or do i spawn it in using normal code

like a command or trigger

[lilac dagger]

you can register the custom entity where you feel like

[lilac dagger]

do you want the projectiles to face you?

[drowsy helm]

no, tangential to the circle so it looks like its revolving around me if that makes sense

[lilac dagger]

i dunno, not that good at math yet

[drowsy helm]

quaternions are just confusing tbh

i had it working perfectly with atan2

[lilac dagger]

a atan2 does this while

[drowsy helm]

            double atanAngle = Math.atan2(context.getOffset().z(), context.getOffset().x()); 

            Vector3f tangent = new Vector3f(
                    (float) (Math.sin(atanAngle)), // Tangent X
                    0f,                                // Tangent Y
                    (float) (Math.cos(atanAngle))  // Tangent Z
            );

This seems to work peroperly

just oeriented backwards lol

[lilac dagger]

can i see?

maybe i get an idea of how you want it to revolve it

[drowsy helm]

I think its just a matter of flipping values somewhere

[lilac dagger]

ohh

yeah

[drowsy helm]

sweet got it working, just have to flip both x and z

ty for brain food

[lilac dagger]

i didn't do anything

you did it all yourself

;D

[short pilot]

oh i meant like do you need to register them like commands?

[lilac dagger]

not really

only if you just want to add them to a world

[drowsy helm]

you dont need to register them to the server to spawn them if thats what you mean

but if you don't register them, they wont save properly in the chunk

[short pilot]

oop

ok so uh

what do i use to register them that'll have them savedf

[lilac dagger]

as far as i know if you add them to the world they'll be saved to the chunk, there's a method you have to override to prevent them from being saved

[short pilot]

oh

do you know which it is?

[drowsy helm]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/1-18-creating-custom-entities.538519/

look at 3ricL's comment

but this is for 1.18 non remapped so you'll have to figure it out for remapped

[lilac dagger]

there are a lot of methods to go through but i could take a look

i see this method in Entity

not sure if this is it

you can try to overwrite it and see if it's still spawned after a server restart

[short pilot]

would this be overriding the mob's class?

in the entity itself

[sonic goblet]

Providing you’re using the code you provided you’d be overriding the method for your CustomWitherSkeleton entity (Which extends WitherSkeleton)

And you do that in the class yes

[tiny tangle]

bump

[mortal vortex]

Hi

What error are you getting, you never specified? it helps me get to an answer quicker without having to run any code myself. @tiny tangle

Also cant you use scheduleSyncRepeatingTask instead of just a runnable?

[blazing ocean]

looks like gpt

[mortal vortex]

Could be

[mortal vortex]

but im confused, why are they trying to calculate it?

isnt it provided as a method under Server?

https://jd.papermc.io/paper/1.21.3/org/bukkit/Server.html - getAverageTickTime

[buoyant viper]

papermc.io

🤔

[mortal vortex]

They did say with paper :p

[buoyant viper]

https://tenor.com/bI1wb.gif

[mortal vortex]

and its also literally in spigot too, but paper was the first result

same same

[sonic goblet]

Heresy

[buoyant viper]

nuh uh

[mortal vortex]

oh what its not

[buoyant viper]

naur

[mortal vortex]

welp,

[buoyant viper]

spigot doesnt really expose tps stuff i think

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/ServerTickManager.html there is this class tho

but that might be for the like weird new tick command or whatever

[mortal vortex]

ohh no u can average

or is that too much?

[buoyant viper]

i think getTickTimes might also be a paper method 😭

altho ig if hes working w paper like u said, might as well use paper api

[mortal vortex]

I've never actually used Spigot.

I always just use Paper

but I find this community much chiller

[pliant topaz]

yep, but if u would use the paper methods theres also an averageTickTimes directly

[mortal vortex]

Yep

[pliant topaz]

you could get the current tick rate every tick and every second or so do avg tickrate / 1000

But that would be a very rounded average i suppose

[buoyant viper]

yes, but sadly, i use Spigot

[tiny tangle]

im not getting any error, what im trying its to measure the server mspt , but I dont know if the code above its the right approach, and I do not know how to proper measure it.

[mortal vortex]

You said you were.

im using a simple method, but cannot use paper and bukkit api same time getting error

[tiny tangle]

yeah, cannot use paper and bukkit same time, because getTps or getAverageTickTime its paper function, so i was wondering only using bukkit, how to proper measure the mspt of the server.

i was using tabstps and the mspt that the plugin shows, and what I did on the code that I posted, when comparting the amount of the output , I suppose mine its giving wrong value amount.

[sonic goblet]

I’m all for DIY but just checking you know about the Spark plugin right?

[tiny tangle]

            @Override
            public void run() {
                long currentTime = System.nanoTime();
                long timeTakenForTick = currentTime - lastTickTime;  // Time in nanoseconds
                lastTickTime = currentTime;
                mspt = timeTakenForTick / 1_000_000.0; // Convert to milliseconds```

[upper hazel]

What addModifier does something besides opiations with meanings do?

[hushed spindle]

is ItemMeta#setCustomModelData() going to be deprecated now that custommodeldatacomponent is a thing

[hushed spindle]

what are you asking

[upper hazel]

addModifier in attributeInstance

[hushed spindle]

yes and whats the question

[sonic goblet]

@tiny tangle this was for you

[upper hazel]

read what i writed

[hushed spindle]

it doesnt make sense

try word it differently

[upper hazel]

addModifier do smth else besides operation with value?

[hushed spindle]

why are you asking

i still dont know what you mean, what problem are you facing

[upper hazel]

i want to know why addModifier exists. Why not exists methods like "setValue", "removeValue"

[hushed spindle]

ah, you want to know how modifiers work

alright

[upper hazel]

yes

I thought maybe they were doing something else besides just typing in values.

[hushed spindle]

so, an AttributeInstance is basically just your stat value of whatever stat you want to have, take ATTACK_DAMAGE for example

attributemodifiers modify the base value of that stat. modifying the base damage directly is not a good idea because you can't properly undo those modifications

if you were to modify the max health of a spider for example by using AttributeInstance#setBaseValue, and let's say that for whatever reason you wanted to undo those changes, you can't just set it back to whatever AttributeInstance#getDefaultValue() is. Because for MAX_HEALTH, that's always 20, and spiders don't have 20 max health by default.
it's also better because other plugins might want to do the same thing, and by modifying the base stat directly you're interfering with them.

attributemodifiers are the recommended way to modify stats because you can easily add and remove them whenever needed.
if you want someone to have a couple extra points of attack damage, you use an attributemodifier with the ADD_NUMBER mode.
if you want someone to deal a percentage more damage with their attacks, you use ADD_SCALAR.
MULTIPLY_SCALAR_1 does basically what ADD_SCALAR does, but much stronger. it's a bit difficult to explain but having several MULTIPLY_SCALAR_1 modifiers exponentially increases your stat values

[tiny tangle]

uhm, i know spark, but I wish to have own plugin to meausre only that , because i need to add other functions for a certain user case. I read the tabtps github files, but there was so many files that i dont know here to look it, very spread and i got more confuse.

[hushed spindle]

attributes and modifiers are not intuitive, i don't blame you for being confused. but you should always add attribute modifiers instead of modifying the base stat value directly

[short pilot]

hwy guys how do you spawn a custom mob you made using a command?

like assuming a template command is made

how do i spawn the mob

[hushed spindle]

you use World#spawn and pass whatever class your custom mob has to it

[upper hazel]

nice thenks

[short pilot]

what's this addFreshEntity i see

            World world = player.getWorld();
            CustomWitherSkeleton customWitherSkeleton = new CustomWitherSkeleton(EntityType.WITHER_SKELETON, world);
            customWitherSkeleton.setPos(location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ());
            world.addEntity(customWitherSkeleton);

so im trying to spawn it like this but it's not recognizing the Wither Skeleton as a mob

[upper hazel]

but it's pretty weird, they could just be separate from each other.

[hushed spindle]

what could be separate

[upper hazel]

baseValue and value

[hushed spindle]

baseValue and value are separate from eachother

getValue() represents the stat value after all calculations, getBaseValue() only returns the value before calculations

the calculations are the attributemodifiers

like, lets take an example of having an attack damage of 1
if you have 3 attributemodifiers in this instance,

• ADD_NUMBER 5
• ADD_SCALAR 0.5
• ADD_SCALAR 0.5

then getValue() returns (1 + 5) * (1 + 0.5 + 0.5), which is 12
getBaseValue() will still return 1

[upper hazel]

all modifiers connected with each other?

why exists argument like uuid and string

if i getting attribute from player

oh

i see

[hushed spindle]

yeah all modifiers are connected like that

uuids and names are just useful for identifying these modifiers

[upper hazel]

what if i want SET value

[hushed spindle]

i think they are indexed by uuid, so if you add a modifier with the uuid of an existing modifier it overrides the previous

you dont want a set value

[upper hazel]

but i need synchronize

[hushed spindle]

with what

[upper hazel]

with custom attributes

[hushed spindle]

in what way

you know players have a base damage of 1 so if you want to set it to 6 so bad you add 5

with an add_number modifier

[upper hazel]

sec

i creating basic plugin with roles

race

and types

and i have formula

i not can just add or remove

looks like I'm gonna have to flip the formula

oh nuh

i find easly path

[short pilot]

any help on my entity spawning?

[young knoll]

You’ll need to use the NMS version of the world to add the entity

[upper hazel]

Is it worth adding to the api the ability to change parameters by a third-party plugin if these parameters are updated and reset on reboot and depend on the config?

[sonic goblet]

I figured but just wanted to make sure, 👍

[quaint mantle]

Is there way to get line of ConfigurationSection?

[young knoll]

Wdym a line

[quaint mantle]

a: # 0
 b: # 1
   c: # 2

Like this

[chrome beacon]

hm? but why

[tiny tangle]

yeah, need anyone could help me out ,or give me a hint clue how to measure it, not sure also if its way complex to measure it as a tabstps, but I only want the mspt function.

[quaint mantle]

I need to log warn about some misconfiguration user make

[worldly ingot]

No there's no way to get the line unless you search for it yourself. Just the path should be sufficient though, no?

YAML is structured so you can print out the path to the option that's misconfigured

[devout tangle]

hey, i got this code to place blocks beneth me but it just doesnt place the blocks and the locations are the right ones

          ArrayList<Location> cloud = new ArrayList<>();

            for (double i = player.getX()-2; i < player.getX()+2; i++) {
                for (double j = player.getZ()-2; j < player.getZ()+2; j++) {
                    cloud.add(new Location(player.getWorld(), i, j, player.getLocation().getY()-1));
                    System.out.println(i + " " + j + " " + (player.getLocation().getY() - 1) + " ");
                }
            }

            for (Location location : cloud) {
                location.getBlock().setType(Material.WHITE_WOOL);
            }

[echo basalt]

you got the Y and Z axis flipped

[eternal oxide]

^ in new Location

[wooden frost]

Is it possible to send multiple text components(one string, to clickables) in a single message?

[blazing ocean]

i mean

just append them

[wooden frost]

oh

yeah

right

ij

ok

stupid question srry

[tiny tangle]

does doing bump is it considering be spam?

[rough ibex]

does doing be what huh

What do you need help with

[chrome beacon]

You can bump if you want to

[eternal oxide]

No, so long as its not too frequent

[chrome beacon]

^^

[tiny tangle]

want to accomplish but dont know how to do it

merely only with bukkit

            @Override
            public void run() {
                long currentTime = System.nanoTime();
                long timeTakenForTick = currentTime - lastTickTime;  // Time in nanoseconds
                lastTickTime = currentTime;
                mspt = timeTakenForTick / 1_000_000.0; // Convert to milliseconds```

[eternal oxide]

what is yoru issue? You might want to use millis over nano as nano call is more expensive

and as you only want mspt it should be fine

[tiny tangle]

uhm, the issue its that the mpts that the tabtps its showing with that small function , both given values isnt the same

so i was wondering how to measure properly to give me the same value as the taptps shows, because i only want that function to be used with other experimental things.

[eternal oxide]

tps is not mspt

[tiny tangle]

i mean, the tabtps plugin

it has tps and mpst bar that shows both values on screen

[eternal oxide]

and you are assuming theirs is correct while yours is not?

mspt is as accurate as you are going to get it. Your code is fine. Any difference would be in their code

[tiny tangle]

probably, their github has many files many implementations i got lost on it, so probably i was wrong doing something or missing putting something

oh

its weird

because uhm as example, i was getting around 15 to 20 mpst with that plugin with constant update, as mine its giving 45 to 55

so i was kinda confused

[eternal oxide]

are you sure you and they are talking about the saem thing?

mspt is milliseconds per tick

tps is ticks per second

[tiny tangle]

yeah, my tps its stable at 20 , im not trying to get tps value

[eternal oxide]

the mspt will vary greatly depending on what is actually happening

on average it should be close to 50

are you sure the plugin is not showing you how many millis the tick took, not the time of each tick?

that may be a confusing statement

[tiny tangle]

if i could send a picture

[eternal oxide]

The work processed ina tick may not use up the whole 50ms

[tiny tangle]

to show

[eternal oxide]

it sounds to me like the plugin is showing how many ms was taken to process each tick

[tiny tangle]

uhm oh probably make sense, i mean i cannot differenciate the calculations

[eternal oxide]

Your code tells how long each tick is, which will always be very close to 50, unless overloaded

[tiny tangle]

im getting around 45 to 55 , but with the plugin its showing around 10 to 25 depends on the entities thats on the over the world

probably the plugin as you said its using other calculation formula

[eternal oxide]

45-55 sounds fine for teh time of a tick

if their value increases with more entities then its showing how long the tick took to process

the closer it gets to 50 would indicate getting close to an overload

[tiny tangle]

ok, i probably stick what you said hahah its giving me a bit crazy i will asume that the amount of 45 to 55 its fine

haha

so next step its to lower that amount so its gets better for performance?

[eternal oxide]

with their plugin, yes lower is better. Less load

with yours it should always be around 50 unless overloaded. less work will not lower yours

To accurately calculate teh load on the server you need a tick start time and a tick end time.

[tiny tangle]

uhm thats sounds kinda complex, what im trying to accomplish its to have a function reference over the average mpts value , then trying to "attempt" lower it to probe some experimental stuff to get some improvement % , but doing mine it seems

[eternal oxide]

two start times only tells you if its doing too much, it can;t tell you how little it is doing

you need to measure the start/end of the tick, which you can;t do in a scheduler

[tiny tangle]

ouch

make sense

bad thing its im trying to work "attempt" to do for hybrid server in mind, cannot use paper api and bukkit same time.

doing two start times probably dont help me go more further :C

[eternal oxide]

nope

[tiny tangle]

🤧 ☠️

hahaha

im glad to ask

i mean

thanks

[eternal oxide]

paper has extra events for tick start/end so its simpler for this kind of thing. Spigot does not. You'd have to implement your own

[devout tangle]

ohh shit

[tiny tangle]

can i ask

if and entity as example villager or animals etc , having modify their tick rate to near 0 , is it good for the server?

[chrome beacon]

Entities already tick every tick

and what do you mean by near 0

[tiny tangle]

i mean as for example the farmcontrol plugin, its like having many entities in one place, they move to much /tick rate very high?

does it reduce the tick rate near 0 to reduce all the movement to make these entities dont move like a near freeze state, being same as to have lower the tick rate?

[thorny vortex]

could someone help me with something possibly?

@EventHandler
public void onSilverFishAttackEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
if (event.isCancelled()) {
return;
}

        if ((event.getEntity() instanceof Player)) {
            if ((event.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().getEntityType() == EntityType.SILVERFISH)) {
                event.getDamager().getType();
            event.setCancelled(true);
            EntityDamageEvent xd = event.getEntity().getLastDamageCause();
            ((Player) event.getEntity()).damage(20);
            event.getEntity().setLastDamageCause(xd);


        }
    }
}

}

I'm making a plugin. I want it to change the damage of a (Specific) mob. Example: I spawn a Silverfish instead of it doing its default attack damage I want it to do damage (4) when attacking player. This is what I have so far

[eternal oxide]

Don;t cancel the event, just setDamage

[thorny vortex]

so like this

@EventHandler
public void onSilverFishAttackEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
if (event.isCancelled()) {
return;
}

        if ((event.getEntity() instanceof Player)) {
            if ((event.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().getEntityType() == EntityType.SILVERFISH)) {
                event.getDamager().getType()
            EntityDamageEvent xd = event.getEntity().getLastDamageCause();
            ((Player) event.getEntity()).damage(20);
            event.getEntity().setLastDamageCause(xd);


        }
    }
}

}

[eternal oxide]

no

[kind patrol]

Is there a good way to use brigadier with spigot, or should I just resort to paper?

[thorny vortex]

Im sorry very new this one the next step for me to go down just trying to learn new this this one might be a ltitle hard for me

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityDamageEvent.html#setDamage(double)

[blazing ocean]

there isnt

[eternal oxide]

literally event.setDamage(xx)

[chrome beacon]

I recommend using https://github.com/lucko/commodore

[thorny vortex]

@EventHandler
public void onSilverFishAttackEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
if (event.isCancelled()) {
return;
}

        if ((event.getEntity() instanceof Player)) {
            if ((event.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().getEntityType() == EntityType.SILVERFISH)) {
                event.setDamage(20);

like that?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[thorny vortex]

code was fine but now when i spawn a silver fish it dose defualt attack damage?

i set it to 20 but dose nothign diffrent

[eternal oxide]

don't check LastDamageCause

its not happened yet

[thorny vortex]

just delete that then?

[eternal oxide]

getDamageSource and getEntityType is what you want

[thorny vortex]

Im sorry im very new to this

if (Player instanceof Silverfish?

[eternal oxide]

if(event.getEntity().getType() ==

[thorny vortex]

@EventHandler
public void onSilverFishAttackEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
if (event.isCancelled()) {
return;
}

        if ((event.getEntity() instanceof Player)) {
            if ((event.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().getEntityType() == EntityType.SILVERFISH)) {
                event.setDamage(20);

[eternal oxide]

or event.getEntityType() ==

[thorny vortex]

if ((event.getEntity() instanceof Player)) {
if ((event.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().getEntityType() == EntityType.SILVERFISH)) {
event.setDamage(20);

my bad

if ((event.getEntity() instanceof Player)) {
if ((event.getEntityType() == EntityType.SILVERFISH)) {
event.setDamage(20);

[eternal oxide]

I said don;t use getLastDamageCause. Your damage has not happened yet

[thorny vortex]

I removed that

[eternal oxide]

the Entity in teh event is refering to who is going to be damaged. So in this case a Player

[thorny vortex]

@EventHandler
public void onSilverFishAttackEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
if (event.isCancelled()) {
return;
}

        if ((event.getEntity() instanceof Player)) {
            if ((event.getEntityType() == EntityType.SILVERFISH)) {
                event.setDamage(20);

[eternal oxide]

getDamageSource().getDirectEntity() would be the silverfish

[thorny vortex]

Im lost

[eternal oxide]

if (event.getEntityType() == Player && event.getDamageSource().getDirectEntity() == SilverFish)

pseudo. fix where needed

[thorny vortex]

https://gyazo.com/0993807fb75fe18d4ed6911b568b3824

codes showing errors

[eternal oxide]

I said it was pseudo code

Its basic java to fix those errors

hover over each and see what it suggests

[thorny vortex]

im still learning basic java

@EventHandler
public void onSilverFishAttackEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
if (event.isCancelled()) {
return;
}
if (event.getEntityType() == EntityType.PLAYER && event.getDamager().getType() == EntityType.SILVERFISH)
event.setDamage(20);

            }
    }

I was able to get it to work thank you so much @E I really appricate it

[eternal oxide]

looks good

[thorny vortex]

Sorry im a little slow

learner

thanks for being patient and taking time!

been typing to fix this for 2 days haha

[thorny vortex]

anyone have a way of when i break a diamond block it drops a specific item with a specific chance of getting that item so far i have it to when a diamond is broken it spawns a NetherStar and a diamond but i want it to be rare chance of dropping the netherstar so its dose not always give one how would i do that?

@EventHandler
private void onDiamondBreak(BlockBreakEvent e) {
Block b = e.getBlock();
Player p = e.getPlayer();
if (p.getGameMode() == GameMode.SURVIVAL) {
if (b.getType() == Material.DIAMOND_ORE) {
e.setCancelled(true);
b.setType(Material.AIR);
b.getWorld().dropItem(b.getLocation(), new ItemStack(Material.NETHER_STAR, 1));
b.getWorld().dropItem(b.getLocation(), new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND, 1));

how would i set a chance of getting the NETHER_STAR

[rough sorrel]

can someone help?

[sullen marlin]

random.nextFloat() < chance

[rough sorrel]

i cant figure out the code to change the hologram display of my crazy crates plugin

[drowsy helm]

Is the crates plugin yours?

Or are you trying to override it

[rough sorrel]

no i just gfound it

i just had to turn holograms toggle to false

[quaint mantle]

please for the sake of readability write things out... it takes like half a second

[rough sorrel]

i didnt sdee it before

[cedar flint]

Does anyone know how Attributes work? I just tried doing to most simple form:

player.getAttribute(Attribute.ARMOR).setBaseValue(5.0);

but i still get an error that basicly saids attributes dont exist, like huh??

 Class org.bukkit.attribute.Attribute does not have member field 'org.bukkit.attribute.Attribute ARMOR'

[chrome beacon]

What version are you compiling against

[cedar flint]

Spigot 1.21

[chrome beacon]

.0?

[cedar flint]

Yes, just base 1.21 release

[chrome beacon]

It's GENERIC_ARMOR in 1.21

[sly topaz]

you should use the latest version available if you're already compiling against 1.21 tbh

[cedar flint]

hmm is it a different way to get to that then, because just using it doesnt work. ChatGPT also gave your answer.

[chrome beacon]

You've messed up your dependencies

[cedar flint]

Amazing

[chrome beacon]

How are you compiling the project

[cedar flint]

As in... building it...? Sorry trying to understand what you mean, not an expert xd.

[chrome beacon]

yes

[cedar flint]

For the project creation I used the Minecraft Development plugin for Intellij which was at that time only on 1.21 max, then I just hit build and put in my localhost plugin folder. I dont know how to get your answer sorry

[chrome beacon]

Does your project contain a pom.xml or a build.gradle(.kts)

[cedar flint]

Yes it contains a pom.xml

[chrome beacon]

Could you send it's contents

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[cedar flint]

pasted it... i think?

[chrome beacon]

Now send the link

[cedar flint]

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

like so?

[chrome beacon]

The project is set to use 1.21.3

[cedar flint]

I see at the bottem with dependencies that it saids 1.21.3 is that the issue?

yes

ehm

Thanks a lot already btw

[chrome beacon]

Switch back to using ARMOR

also I suggest updating to .4

Simply change the number and click the little maven reload icon in the top right

[cedar flint]

Alright its loading

[chrome beacon]

When it's done open the maven tab on the right and find package under lifecycle

double click that to build

[cedar flint]

alr

done

[chrome beacon]

Now your plugin jar should be in your target folder

Also make sure that you run the plugin on a 1.21.4 server

to ensure it will work correctly

[cedar flint]

Yes il update. Thanks a lot

[sly topaz]

you mean 1.21.4

[blazing ocean]

1.20.4 🔫

[chrome beacon]

yes

[blazing ocean]

olivo when spring 🔫

[chrome beacon]

I keep writing/reading 1.20 💀

[sly topaz]

tbf so few time has passed since 1.20.4 that it doesn't seem right to write out 1.21.4 already lol

[blazing ocean]

?howold 1.21.4

[undone axle]

https://howoldisminecraft.today/1.21.4

how do I make lore not in italics with minimessage

[nova notch]

https://docs.advntr.dev/faq.html

[blazing ocean]

<!i>

[cedar flint]

Yes. I noticed paper doesnt have fully released 1.21.4 yet so just to be sure I downgraded the plugin again to 1.21.3 and setup a paper 1.21.3 server. Now the issue is that when I try to build instead of compiling into a jar file now it just idk how to put this ehh downloads the project folder into the target file.

[chrome beacon]

Why are you building without packaging it?

Also I don't quite understand your issue

[cedar flint]

idk, normally I hit build and the jar file updates/appears where it is suppost too, but after i downgraded from 1.21.4 to 1.21.3 again using the same method it just doesnt output a jar file, but the project itself(folders, classes, etc)

[chrome beacon]

Did you run package

[cedar flint]

after changing it back to 1.21.3 yes

[chrome beacon]

Could you show what it's outputting in an image

[cedar flint]

wait maybe im stupid I swear I did, well now it gives me both a jar file and the plugin itself.

[cedar flint]

like in this form

for example

[chrome beacon]

where is that screenshot taken

[cedar flint]

from file explorer

windows 11

i mean the issue is half fixed, i get my jar file at least so if you have anything more important to do please dont bother helping xd. Thanks anyway tho

[chrome beacon]

I mean in what folder

[cedar flint]

oh sorry im retarted, please dont take the file explorer comment as an offense, didnt mean it like that i swear xd. It was from my plugins folder. There a new folder called production was created and clicking through the files gets me there

Thanks for all the help, problem solved itself. Doesnt happen anymore. Really thank you, would have never come up with this. (Edit: nv issue came back xd, not the greatest issue so its fine)

[earnest girder]

How can I get the moisture level of a block in PlayerInteractEvent? I am trying to cast event#getClickedBlock to Farmland but I am getting this error: java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_21_R1.block.CraftBlock cannot be cast to class org.bukkit.block.data.type.Farmland (org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_21_R1.block.CraftBlock and org.bukkit.block.data.type.Farmland are in unnamed module of loader java.net.URLClassLoader

[chrome beacon]

Farmland is blockdata

[earnest girder]

so I cast event#getClickedBlock#getBlockData to Farmland?

[chrome beacon]

Yes

[deep herald]

for playing sounds, is it pitch then volume, or volume then pitch

[chrome beacon]

Are you asking what order the args are in?

[deep herald]

yes

[chrome beacon]

You really should use your IDE for that

[rough ibex]

hover over the method

it will show you the docs

[chrome beacon]

^^

[deep herald]

https://i.e-z.host/t2zd7h8q.png

[chrome beacon]

Looks like your docs are missing

[rough ibex]

also paper

but regardless

[chrome beacon]

Open maven/gradle tab

And click download sources and docs

Should fetch them for you

[deep herald]

https://i.e-z.host/gkbnzjaw.png where?

[chrome beacon]

Above that

It's a little download icon

[deep herald]

ah

[deep herald]

i dont want my server to crash

or there be exploits

[rough ibex]

regardless

[deep herald]

ok thx u

[short pilot]

does anyone have experience using the mythicmobs api?

i'm trying to make an existing mob spawn and set it to a custom faction for various player factions in my world

idk if that is possible though since it seems like each mob only has one faction assignable

[short pilot]

does anyone know why version.set in my build.gradle isn't recognized? I'm trying to follow the blogpost about using mojang remap

[thorny vortex]

So i wrote up some code but I want it so when player mines Diamond ore it gives them a chance of getting "Nether-Star" I Want to rename it to something else like "GOD STAR" and change the lore to "Sell in shop for cash" I have everthing done already just need help changing the name and lore when item is recived. this is what i got so far

[short pilot]

can anyone explain the difference between groovy and kotlin in context of gradle ? It appears my buildscript is using groovy

[young knoll]

Just different languages

That have different syntax

[short pilot]

you can copy and paste your code to here, just make it brief and use code blocks (three `)

[short pilot]

is one more preferred over the other/commonly used

[thorny vortex]

like just staight paste it in the chat?

[short pilot]

you'd probably need to make an item object first right and then change its name before giving it tot he player

[young knoll]

Kotlin is the standard now

[thorny vortex]

private final List<ItemStack> items = Arrays.asList(new ItemStack(Material.NETHER_STAR, 1), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR));
@EventHandler
private void onDiamondBreak(BlockBreakEvent e) {
Block b = e.getBlock();
Player p = e.getPlayer();
if (p.getGameMode() == GameMode.SURVIVAL) {
if (b.getType() == Material.DIAMOND_ORE) {
e.setCancelled(true);
b.setType(Material.AIR);
Player player = e.getPlayer();
player.getInventory().addItem(items.get(ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(items.size())));
b.getWorld().dropItem(b.getLocation(), new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND, 1));

[sly topaz]

groovy dsl used to be standard but nowadays kotlin dsl is favored

[short pilot]

format it

[sly topaz]

?codeblock

[undone axle]

You can use the discord code block format to display code or just text in a more pleasing way:
```java
public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
@Override
public void onEnable() {

}

}```
Becomes:

public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {

    }
}```

[short pilot]

format it with the codeblock "ticks"

like this

temp = null;

[sly topaz]

you can just use the command for that explanation 😛

[young knoll]

That is

[thorny vortex]

public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {

    }
}```
Becomes: ```java
public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {

    }
}```
Becomes: private final List<ItemStack> items = Arrays.asList(new ItemStack(Material.NETHER_STAR, 1), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR));
    @EventHandler
    private void onDiamondBreak(BlockBreakEvent e) {
        Block b = e.getBlock();
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        if (p.getGameMode() == GameMode.SURVIVAL) {
            if (b.getType() == Material.DIAMOND_ORE) {
                e.setCancelled(true);
                b.setType(Material.AIR);
                Player player = e.getPlayer();
                player.getInventory().addItem(items.get(ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(items.size())));
                b.getWorld().dropItem(b.getLocation(), new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND, 1));

[young knoll]

Certainly some code

[short pilot]

leetcode vibes

[sly topaz]

what is this trying to do

[short pilot]

lemme just send it for u

[young knoll]

I like the list that’s full of hot air

[short pilot]

private final List<ItemStack> items = Arrays.asList(new ItemStack(Material.NETHER_STAR, 1), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR), new ItemStack(Material.AIR));
    @EventHandler
    private void onDiamondBreak(BlockBreakEvent e) {
        Block b = e.getBlock();
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        if (p.getGameMode() == GameMode.SURVIVAL) {
            if (b.getType() == Material.DIAMOND_ORE) {
                e.setCancelled(true);
                b.setType(Material.AIR);
                Player player = e.getPlayer();
                player.getInventory().addItem(items.get(ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(items.size())));
                b.getWorld().dropItem(b.getLocation(), new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND, 1));

[thorny vortex]

thank you i cant figure out how to do that i guess haha

[short pilot]

wait ur right

[sly topaz]

well, to the question, what is this code supposed to do

[short pilot]

on block break he wants to drop diamond it appears or give a wither star he said

\nether star*

[thorny vortex]

So i wrote up some code but I want it so when player mines Diamond ore it gives them a chance of getting "Nether-Star" I Want to rename it to something else like "GOD STAR" and change the lore to "Sell in shop for cash" I have everthing done already just need help changing the name and lore when item is recived. this is what i got so far

[short pilot]

i think you need to make the nether star object first (item or something) and then change its name, before giving it to the player inventory

[thorny vortex]

It is a object already in the game

[short pilot]

random but ur pfp is so cute it looks like there's a cat trying to wedge its way

[thorny vortex]

it works when i break a block i recive the nether star i just want it to be chaged to a diffrent name

[short pilot]

no like a java object

[thorny vortex]

ive never done that before

im just learning 5th day in

[short pilot]

like

ItemStack netherStar = new ItemStack(Material.NETHER_STAR);

or something

[thorny vortex]

just throw that in the code?

[short pilot]

and then change its name from there and you can do

player.getInventory().addItem(netherStar);

or something

[warm mica]

is there like an easy way to create nms patches for spigot that just works without hassle on windows

[thorny vortex]

dereC4 could you call me rq i can share screen?

[short pilot]

first things first do you know object oriented programming like just the coding concept

uh ok

[sly topaz]

wdym, I can make patches just fine on windows

[warm mica]

without all mingw crap? tried to use the one built into git and it didn't work. at that point i lost the motivation

[sly topaz]

private static final ItemStack CUSTOM_ITEM = new ItemStack(Material.NETHER_STAR, 1);

static {
  var meta = CUSTOM_ITEM.getItemMeta();
  meta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.GOLD + "GOD STAR");
  meta.setLore(List.of(ChatColor.GREEN + "Sell in shop for cash"));
  CUSTOM_ITEM.setItemMeta(meta);
}

@EventHandler
public void onDiamondBreak(BlockBreakEvent event) {
  var block = event.getBlock();
  var player = event.getPlayer();

  if (player.getGameMode() == GameMode.SURVIVAL && block.getType() == Material.DIAMOND_ORE) {
    /* Is there any reason to cancel really? Uncomment it if you believe so
    event.setCancelled(true);
    block.setType(Material.AIR);
    block.getWorld().dropItem(block.getLocation(), new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND, 1));
    */
    if (ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextDouble() < 12.5 / 100) { // 12.5% chance
      player.getInventory().addItem(CUSTOM_ITEM);
    }
  }
}

@thorny vortex

[short pilot]

horray i just helped him with understanding Math.random

[sly topaz]

I don't normally spoonfed people but I don't really have the patience to explain what is wrong with their original code lol, I'd rather they just look at the differences

[young knoll]

Since they just drop the Diamond anyway there is no reason to cancel

[sly topaz]

you can just use git for windows to run all of it

[short pilot]

i think the main thing was that the list of air was trying to simuate probability but there's no need since you can just pick a random number and give the item based on the results

[sly topaz]

I was thinking the same but they cancelled it on their original code so I followed suit

maybe they had a reason for that

[young knoll]

It breaks fortune

That’s about it

[short pilot]

and you dont actually need the list, you can just give each item individually esp since you want to have a custom name/item lore for the Nether Star

[young knoll]

Shout out to weighted randoms

[short pilot]

so complicated for just two items 🥺

ok so my turn

i made a custom wither skeleton mob, how do i spawn it into my world through say any placeholder event

right now it's meant to just stand there

[sly topaz]

you just get the world handle and then do addFreshEntity on it

[smoky anchor]

I don't think you can create static field for that ItemStack

[young knoll]

Level#addFreshEntity

[sly topaz]

why not

[short pilot]

what's the difference between the addEntity and addFreshEntity

[young knoll]

Is addEntity even a thing

[sly topaz]

was going to say

[short pilot]

nvm looks like it is for the World itself but not handler

[smoky anchor]

If you spawned two items and modified one of them, the second one could get modified as well.
I think it was something like this, someone please correct me, its late and I can barely function.

[young knoll]

Pretty sure drop item makes a clone

[smoky anchor]

He adds it directly to the inventory

[short pilot]

i can barely function is relatable 😭😭

[cosmic elk]

does anyone have any insight on how I could possibly remove a player UUID from the 'rewarded_players' in a trial vault? (i tried to upload a picture i couldnt though)

[sly topaz]

addItem seems to make a copy too, so shouldn't be an issue

if it ultimately is, then just cloning the item each time it is added should do

[smoky anchor]

Alright then, good to know

[sly topaz]

good catch still, I had to open the spigot repo to check if it makes a copy because that could totally happen lol

[young knoll]

We don’t have api for that yet

You’ll have to use NMS

[sly topaz]

don't know who was the person who asked about the countdown, but there's likely a better way to do that countdown lol

[cosmic elk]

ah crap

[sly topaz]

private record CountdownStep(String message, float exp, int level) {}

private static final CountdownStep[] STEPS = {
        new CountdownStep("§c§l1", 0.33f, 1),
        new CountdownStep("§e§l2", 0.5f, 2),
        new CountdownStep("§a§l3", 1.0f, 3)
};
private void startCountdown(Player player, NPC npc, AttackDifficulty currentDifficulty) {
    int[] countdown = {STEPS.length};
    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(Clutches.getInstance(), task -> {
            countdown[0]--;
            if (countdown[0] >= 0) {
                var step = STEPS[countdown[0]];
                ServerApi.getInstance().getService(ITitleService.class).sendSubTitle(player, step.message(), 1, 20, 1);
                player.setExp(step.exp());
                player.setLevel(step.level());
           } else {
             executeHit(player, npc, currentDifficulty);
             task.cancel();
           }
        }
    }, 0L, 20L);
}

[short pilot]

where shoudl i set output directory for my buildtools (im trying to get remapped)

[young knoll]

Doesn’t really matter

The remapped sources get installed to your mavenLocal

[short pilot]

ok

[grizzled bridge]

Hey, am I losing my mind? Some classes just seem to not exist? Like for example EntityType

Cannot resolve symbol 'EntityType'

And when i go into my external libraries folder, I only find a EntityType.class file not the standard java file

[young knoll]

Update IntelliJ

[grizzled bridge]

It’s on the latest version

I’m using Java 23

And I have the latest gradle version as well if that matters

[grizzled bridge]

I’ll double check this though, but out of curiosity why would it matter (I’m sure i have a pretty recent version)

[young knoll]

Old versions had problems with enums and java 21+

[grizzled bridge]

Ah that checks out, the material enum has the same issue

Thanks! I’ll lyk if it worked

[fossil ridge]

How do I check when a player is close to the border? I thought about checking that x/z equals 30m/-30m but that is extremely inaccurate because the player is not bound to go in one direction but instead they can go to the side / reach the intersection of corners

Maybe I can make a bounding box with 29999995 blocks (like a square) and check if the player is outside of that bounding box? Like a reverse world border? There has to be a better way..

[river oracle]

this doesn't seem like a bad approach tbh

its not very intensive, it does what you want and its simple

[fossil ridge]

okay, just thought there was a better way. thank you!

[grizzled bridge]

Can confirm, it was my IntelliJ version. Thank you so much! (For future reference, I updated to 2024.3)

[sly topaz]

so far one of the weirdest IJ bugs yet

[grizzled bridge]

Right? 😭 I was so confused

[short pilot]

so from what I've read

you're not supposed to do anything in registerGoals with custom entities and NPCs? You have to register them in the constructor?

[sonic goblet]

This is the way I do it, I add my custom goals (and remove some default ones) after the spawning

[sly topaz]

if you don't want to add the default entity goals, then no, you don't

if you do want the default goals and also want to add your own, then you just override it, call super.registerGoals and then register your own goal

[short pilot]

how do you remove default goals?

by leaving the register goals empty i see

so we override it and implement nothing

is there any guide for goals in spigot like there is for databases/commands

or any good posts

[sonic goblet]

I keep a list of all the names of goals I want to remove then after spawning I get the GoalSelector of the entity and remove the goal(s) if found. I will mention that my usecase for this is very specific so depending on what you're trying to do this method might not work

I keep getting this crash whenever I try and run my server?

[sly topaz]

goals are not part of the API so you wouldn't find much of a guide I suppose

[short pilot]

hey fellas is there a better way to do this spawning for my custom mob (idk if it even works yet)

                    Location location = player.getLocation();
                    ServerLevel world = (ServerLevel) ((ServerPlayer) player).getCommandSenderWorld();
                    CustomWitherSkeleton customWitherSkeleton = new CustomWitherSkeleton(world);

[blazing ocean]

try using java 21

are you using jetbrains runtime?

[grizzled bridge]

That’s what I’m doing rn, I think Java 23 might be causing an issue

[blazing ocean]

probably is

[grizzled bridge]

I’m not sure exactly, I believe I’m using gradle or is that something unrelated

[blazing ocean]

that's unrelated

oh you're using hotspot

[grizzled bridge]

lol oops

[blazing ocean]

try something like temurin 21

or adoptium/coretto/whatever

[grizzled bridge]

How would I even go about that / what does that exactly mean

Also, java 21 did work!

[blazing ocean]

temurin is a jvm vendor

[grizzled bridge]

what do you think caused the issue for java 23

[blazing ocean]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[grizzled bridge]

fair

[blazing ocean]

java 23 doesn't work well with MC, especially paper

[sonic goblet]

That will just create a new CustomWitherSkeleton object, it wouldnt spawn it (unless you handle the spawning in the object itself)

Off the top of my head the method is like #addFreshEntity or something. I think someone sent the method name to you yesterday

[sly topaz]

do you do anything with the entity besides adding a goal

because if you don't, you might not need a custom entity at all

[sonic goblet]

world.addFreshEntity(customEnt.getHandle(), SpawnReason.CUSTOM);
Was correct

[short pilot]

yuh i got that part i was just wondering if i got the Level the correct way

[short pilot]

later on im going to so it attacks only certain teams etc

set by constructor

[sonic goblet]

looks correct then yes 👍

[short pilot]

it's just that that is a lot of casting

lmao ur pfp is like doof from phineas and ferb

with squidward

[sonic goblet]

Technically if you want it to "look" better you can do

                    ServerLevel world = ((CraftWorld) location.getWorld()).getHandle();
                    CustomWitherSkeleton customWitherSkeleton = new CustomWitherSkeleton(world);```

And yes lol

[short pilot]

ok

[quaint mantle]

Its possible to display blocks in any hologram (armor stand name)???

[smoky anchor]

Name can only display text, but you could use a resourcepack with custom font.

(Also, if you're on newer versions, you should be using Text Display instead of armor stand)

[quaint mantle]

And how they do this?

Like the apple there

[smoky anchor]

This is something a bit different.
Depending on version, this either uses Item Display or just armor stand holding an item.

This way it's basically impossible to show an item within the text.
Players can have resourcepack that changes the scale of text and your item would not be aligned correctly then.

[quaint mantle]

I'll use text displays then

thanks!

[tiny tangle]

people saying dont recommend using armor stands because lag and its buggy not safe?

[smoky anchor]

I don't understand the "buggy not safe"
But it is true that Display entities perform better than Armor Stands.

[tiny tangle]

not sure if theres a guide to use the holograms plugin their api to make custom display plugin

[tiny tangle]

some post on internet, most people recommend display entities over armor stands xD

[smoky anchor]

Yes, they are much better

[tiny tangle]

but to manage display entities can be some complex, mine one, the text still being displayed behind walls or if distance was a bit far, the text still there

:C

[smoky anchor]

It's really not complex.
Look at wiki (or docs) to see what properties the display entities have.

[blazing ocean]

I mean, you don't even need that.

Display entities are enough.

[tiny tangle]

yeah, i just started so make sense using simple methods

does anyone knows a github opensource to know how to stackmobs

mine one its using like not efficient method :C , cannot figure it out how to do it properly, im just remove the entities to be stacked then making a single entitiy with "imaginary" stack amount, then uppon killed re spawn a new one .

[chrome beacon]

That's how you do it

[tiny tangle]

oh?

really

?

omg

jsadhajsdh

[chrome beacon]

Just don't use the entity name to detect your entities

[blazing ocean]

PDC or UUID

[tiny tangle]

🤪 , the issue that i have its like, whenever I reset the server to shutdown then turn on, the "imaginary" stack amount got reset to 1

[chrome beacon]

and mark your entity in the spawn method consumer so it's easy for others to track

[blazing ocean]

olivo

[tiny tangle]

oh

[blazing ocean]

when spring 🙏🔫

[tiny tangle]

never heard of PDC, using UUID on the otherside cannot make it work, i did them to be a custom entities, but

I glad to ask, what its PDC

[blazing ocean]

?pdc

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-guide-to-1-14-persistentdataholder-api.371200/

[tiny tangle]

oh

this is

new for me , thanks a lot

im seeing that , to prevent that if player set a custon tag with 99999 amount, it will set the entitty to be 99999 amount xD

im so much afraid that uppon dead of that entity , the server will kabom

[chrome beacon]

You don't respawn all the entities on death

you just spawn one with the tag and it's value lowered

[tiny tangle]

ah, haha ok

yeah, thats makes sense

well i dont have the kill all stack at once function yet, but nice to know it

try delaying your teleport as you are on 1.8

also confirm your spawn location is valid

it does not even tp the player, I have to run the command twice to get tpd

yes, delay the tp

what do you mean with "valid"?

if i run the command twice, its trying to teleport the player and I am instantly getting a nullpointer https://prnt.sc/NcFQfDmjXjNH

Hey guys, how could i get all the blocks of a players own field in a map.. this field is in any map different and there is only one main point (that is the beehive a player can claim). Any ideas how i could do that? https://prnt.sc/bLUYiu1CceMd
I would need all the blocks their location stored in a list or map, within the wooden blocks.. only problem is that in any server the cords are different so how could i do that?

A box with bounds

[grave depot]

oh wow

so what i coùld do is look around the hive in a radius of lets say 5 blocks for a water source, add the boundingbox to the water source (the location) and expand the boundingbox by 1 in every direction, that way the boundingbox is like a 3x3?

how does plugins like ItemsAdder recognize from what spigot acoount the plugin came from? any idea?

[river oracle]

like when you boot up the plugin? I'd assume they do some matching from ID to nonce

[manic delta]

id from what?

[river oracle]
