[fair rock]

Is there an other way to add custom biomes to minecraft without datapacks instead of injecting them?

[chrome beacon]

no

[quaint mantle]

can i prevent block particles like cherry tree leaves

[worldly ingot]

Like when breaking blocks? No. Those are spawned on the client. The amount of bandwidth that would be required for the server to send those particles to the client is crazy

[slender elbow]

I have enough

[worldly ingot]

Send more packets

Also just realized you gave a specific example of cherry tree leaves. I assume you mean the ambient ones. Similar to the spore blossom. Those also are client-sided for the same reason. Lots of bandwidth (and really the server doesn't need to know about that tbh)

[fair rock]

DDOS via Cherry Blossom Particle 💀 xD

That would be crazy

[wooden dove]

do you guys know why this isn't working?

    public void onShootArrow(EntityShootBowEvent event) {

        if (event.getProjectile() instanceof Arrow) {
            event.getEntity().sendMessage("Shot an arrow");
            event.getProjectile().setMetadata("pickup", new FixedMetadataValue(SiegePlugin.plugin, 2));
        }
    }```

It seems to set the data properly if I get it right after that, so maybe it's being reset? but how?

[chrome beacon]

What version are you on?

[wooden dove]

1.20.4

[chrome beacon]

Don't use the metadata api

It's leak prone

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[chrome beacon]

Attach PDC tags instead

[wooden dove]

does this let you change nbt on the item?

[eternal night]

no

[wooden dove]

thats what I need to do

[eternal night]

no?

you just need to attach data

which is exactly what the PDC does

it just doesn't allow you to edit NBT directly

[chrome beacon]

The metadata API does not change the nbt tag

[eternal night]

e.g. you cannot use this to edit like the display name

[chrome beacon]

If you want to change the pickup status there's api methods for that https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/AbstractArrow.html#setPickupStatus(org.bukkit.entity.AbstractArrow.PickupStatus)

[wooden dove]

oh cool, I will just use that thanks

[wraith delta]

Question; I am making /msg and /reply to chat in private messages. I am able to do /msg but i cant do /reply, it always says theres no one to reply to. I have my classes here, maybe its backwards?? https://paste.md-5.net/zezewudobe.java

[chrome beacon]

Spigot has a conversation API you can use

[wraith delta]

Explain please

[chrome beacon]

Actually might no be very relevant if all you want is commands

[worldly ingot]

Yeah the conversations API is for something completely different 😅

[chrome beacon]

Yeah I missremembered 😓

[chrome beacon]

You have your values flipped in /msg

[chrome beacon]

Sounds like more of a bug that it didn't before

Not sure about cancelling it though

[quick shoal]

can someone help me figure out what to add to my plugin? or does it need anything else? https://github.com/literal-gargoyle/get

[wraith delta]

plugin.msgRequester(target.getUniqueId(), player.getUniqueId()); flip these two?

[chrome beacon]

yes

also you should update those method names

it is not clear what they do

[rough ibex]

you don't need to include target/ in the repo

allow the user to change the hastebin url

I would put it behind a permission

also /get is vague and doesn't tell the user what it does

If you want something to do, add the reverse: safely get and serialize the item back from pastebins

[wraith delta]

i see thnx, i used the wrong method name ur right on that too

[wide viper]

is there any way to apply item components like consumable without NMS in 1.21.4?

[chrome beacon]

Not all of them but some

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/ItemMeta.html#getFood()

[dusk pewter]

Hi, why boolean isEmpty() from player.getNearbyEntities() doesn't work? Help me, please.

Theoretically player shouldn't be an entity from nearby entities?

[chrome beacon]

Wouldn't suprise me if it was

[quaint mantle]

hi all

[summer scroll]

Player will be included there

[quaint mantle]

i need some help with a slab i made custom slab i want it to grow crops and have snow but i dont know what the code is

[dusk pewter]

Is it? Ok, thanks, I'll test my thing later.

[dusk pewter]

I think there is a event, that is checking is player or entity on slab. You can check it through an event and make logic there. I'm a weak coder, but that's how I would make.

Maybe it's PlayerMoveEvent

[thin isle]

has someone encountered this kind of problem? https://prnt.sc/kUtRLlKIGM1V https://prnt.sc/6_6d87Ptf9e8
I try to open a server.jar (spigot 1.8.8, linux ubuntu) using java 11 but there are many errors in the console and it does not create any server files also

[buoyant viper]

have u tried running with java 8 instead of 11

[thin isle]

on the same server there is another 1.8.8 spigot server running with java 11

idk why it does not work with in this case

[sly topaz]

just try with java 8

[short pilot]

how can i make my custom entity target players of a specific condition, for example, if they are in one of my built in factions?

using goals

[sly topaz]

you could create or extend a target

or if a normal entity, you'd just add your condition on the EntityTargetEvent I guess

[short pilot]

do u have any examples

also im not sure why but when i try to get the world of said Location to save on server shutdown, it returns as null

context is that this location represents the "home" of a faction aka where /f home will take you to, and it works as intended but when i try to debug and print it out when i am saving, it returns as null, not a World UUID

public Kingdom(String name, UUID leader, Location home) {
        this.name = name;
        this.description = "";
        this.open = false;
        this.leader = leader;
        this.ID = UUID.randomUUID(); // Change this later when we save kingdoms
        this.members = new HashSet<>();
        this.home = home;

Constructor sample

[rough ibex]

where is this location being created

[cerulean oyster]

i want to watch some one code a coustem item plugin so i could gain knowledge
i want to know when what class to use in spigot class
i have so many doubts any proffetional is hear

plz some one make me as a coding friend

[short pilot]

ermmm

ok so on the actual kingdom creation the player's location is passed in as well to set the default spawnpoint of the kingdom

and that's what i save as a variable

instance variable per kingdom

but when i try to save that location to the DB, the coordinates save but the world UID does not it returns null

[short pilot]

i do have a theory, could it be that by the time i'm saving (on plugin shutdown) you cant access the world UID anymore? That would make a bit more sense but it's weird because I can still access the X Y Z coords

ie

            statement.setString(9, Objects.requireNonNull(kingdom.getHome().getWorld()).getUID().toString());
            statement.setInt(10, kingdom.getHome().getBlockX());
            statement.setInt(11, kingdom.getHome().getBlockY());
            statement.setInt(12, kingdom.getHome().getBlockZ());

[cerulean oyster]

are you trying to set spawn location

@short pilot

[short pilot]

well at this point i'm trying to save it to db

[cerulean oyster]

oh ok

i think you missed a comma

[smoky anchor]

on plugin shutdown
You mean onDisable ?

[cerulean oyster]

between the ,getUID().toString());

[smoky anchor]

no, they got it right

[cerulean oyster]

hmm

[short pilot]

@smoky anchor it's not an async thing since it blocks before server shutdown is complete and everything else saves

[cerulean oyster]

@smoky anchor can we chat in personal i have some doubts about this code

[short pilot]

i was debugging in game and when i print the world UID of the kingdom home while the server is loaded, it returns the intended UID

[smoky anchor]

I don't do DMs
We can chat here

[short pilot]

thoughts? i think it's litearlly just cuz it happens on shutdown logic

@Override
    public void onDisable() {
        // Plugin shutdown logic
        Bukkit.getLogger().info(ChatColor.RED + "Disabled " + this.getName());
        DatabaseUtils.saveAll();
        if (databaseManager != null) {
            databaseManager.disconnect();
        }
        Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTasks(this);
    }

[smoky anchor]

Objects.requireNonNull simply throws null if the argument is null
otherwise it returns the argument
so we can basically ignore it, in which case that line of code is kingdom.getHome().getWorld().getUID().toString()
Which is correct

[short pilot]

within saveall's scope is where we call the getWorld.getUID()

[cerulean oyster]

my mind is blowing i am new to spigot boooom

[short pilot]

is the onDisable event happening too late, ie after the world is gone already?

[smoky anchor]

Ye, I don't think I can help with this
My only thought is that the world unloads before you save the location
Which you can get around by just storing the raw data of the location, xyz & world uuid

[smoky anchor]

I don't think it should

[short pilot]

then i suppose i could just fix this by storing the UID as its own variable for the home world

so we wont be getting it directly from the Location

[smoky anchor]

Is it a vanilla world, like overworld/nether ?
Do you use multiverse or manage the world yourself ?

[short pilot]

it just gets the world ID of the kingdom's home, it could be anywhere

[smoky anchor]

ok, but where is it now

in your testing

[short pilot]

overworld

[smoky anchor]

based on your probided information, that should not be happening
so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[short pilot]

probably just out of order with the world being unloaded

testing my new logic now

[cerulean oyster]

by the way where can i learn spigot plz can anyone tell me i wanna learn i watch several youtube videos but they dont tell me when to use a specfic class and its function in spigot i have some trouble with this

[short pilot]

yup fixed

[short pilot]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-plugin-development/

and use chatgpt too if you want, it helps with common questions. Take care in using it to generate entire code but using it to generate snippets for examples is fine

[cerulean oyster]

ok thanks

[drowsy helm]

A lot of development is just flicking through forums to see what others have done

[pseudo hazel]

or reading the docs

[cerulean oyster]

i am asking some one to code and i will watch their code and learn something is it usefull

like some one building a project

like a coustem item plugine

the thing is i know java i am expert in it but i need alll the classes list

oh i got it https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/allclasses-index.html

[short pilot]

ok i feel like something's off in my actual constructor for my Location

Provided x y z and world UUID, how do you make a new Location object?

oh shoot i got it

i get it now

[eternal oxide]

Location requires a World Object so Bukkit.getWorld(id) and pass to Location constructor

[short pilot]

the getWorld I was referencing was taking in a String because I never casted my home_world_id back to a UUID that it's supposed to be

it all makes sense now omg

what a debugging victory

Location home = new Location(
    Bukkit.getWorld(UUID.fromString(resultSet.getString("home_world_id"))),
    resultSet.getInt("home_x"),
    resultSet.getInt("home_y"),
    resultSet.getInt("home_z")
);

this works now

[woeful crown]

How come I get a cannot find symbol error for getString in this context, I am trying to update a plugin from 1.20.1 to 1.21.1
public static String getItemName(ItemStack head){ try{ Object refItemStack = MinecraftReflection.getMinecraftItemStack(head); return LocaleLanguage.a().a(((net.minecraft.world.item.ItemStack) refItemStack).y().getString()); } catch (ClassCastException e) { e.printStackTrace(); return ""; } }

[quaint mantle]

Update nms version in your pom or gradle build script

[short pilot]

^

[drowsy helm]

why not use mapped?

[short pilot]

Can I make my primary key a group of things to check against? kind of like a custom .equals checking for X Y Z to match

[pseudo hazel]

INSERT OR UPDATE?

[drowsy helm]

interesting, minecraft spells bassdrum wrong

what exactly are you trying to do

thats an XY issue

[sullen marlin]

Just have a unique composite key

[short pilot]

yeah i did that

it's all fixed prob shouldve mentioned

all i needed to do was make a composite key bundling the differentiating things together

on the other hand

        UUID fromKingdomUUID = kingdomManager.getKingdomByChunk(fromChunk);
        UUID toKingdomUUID = kingdomManager.getKingdomByChunk(toChunk);
        Bukkit.getLogger().info("fromKingdomUUID: " + fromKingdomUUID);
        Bukkit.getLogger().info("toKingdomUUID: " + toKingdomUUID);
        if (fromKingdomUUID != toKingdomUUID) {
.............

this isn't correct equality checking for two UUIDS, but what would it actually check for?

[drowsy helm]

use .equals

[short pilot]

yus of course

[drowsy helm]

== checks for reference equality

[short pilot]

so just the same actual object it's pointing to?

aka memory location

[drowsy helm]

ye

[short pilot]

neato

[pseudo hazel]

based rum

[eternal oxide]

Interesting. I'd always thought it was base drum. So I've been wrong for a long time

[drowsy helm]

Looks like it’s gonna stay that way

[pseudo hazel]

saying its having any impact on gameplay is just wrong

[drowsy helm]

It’s annoying tf outta me because I have to have a random ass if statement in my code for this bs lol

[pseudo hazel]

wdym

mc is full of that shit anyways

just look at the advancement names, they are all very unintuitive and different from the english translation

[drowsy helm]

More so that the bukkit name is spelled correctly so I cant just do .name() on the enum

[pseudo hazel]

thats more of a bukkit issue then xD

i just wish there was like a method that converts it from a namespace or whatever into the enum constant

[young knoll]

They don’t have namespaces for note block instruments iirc

It’s also an enum internally

[torn shuttle]

did item#setCustomModelData change with 1.21.4?

seems like my model stuff is broken

and I see they documented a couple of things about it but I don't see a change in the api

[young knoll]

Idk if the api has been updated

[smoky anchor]

Yes, custom models are now incredibly powerful.
Now you can make them even without any conflicts.
In fact, you don't need CMD if you want only a simple model, just change the item_model component on an item

[torn shuttle]

how do you avoid conflicts and how are yo usupposed to tell clients which model to use in the first place

[smoky anchor]

You just no longer have to override the vanilla model, you can use your own

[torn shuttle]

...huh

and that works with custom namespaces then?

[young knoll]

yes

[smoky anchor]

yes!

[torn shuttle]

damn

is mojang cooking?

[young knoll]

Item components are neat

[smoky anchor]

Dude, read the changelog for this.

[torn shuttle]

I only got around to the changelog today

[smoky anchor]

You can have different model on item based on real time
Using composite, you can have any angle you want (there is a blockbench plugin by Godlander to auto generate the model definitions)
Custom tinting
Many more.

[torn shuttle]

ok so through the api what sets that item_model field?

[young knoll]

setItemModel

[smoky anchor]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/ItemMeta.html#setItemModel(org.bukkit.NamespacedKey)

[torn shuttle]

so the old way of having multiple numbers in the resource pack for, say, diamond swords is completely deprecated?

[smoky anchor]

You can still do something similar, but why

[torn shuttle]

just trying to figure out backwards compatibility

[smoky anchor]

that is non-existant

[young knoll]

This is where pack overlays come in

And some if statements

[smoky anchor]

just adds pointless complexity, simply update to latest :)

[torn shuttle]

when was this changed, 1.21.4 only?

[young knoll]

Yes

tho item model was added earlier

[torn shuttle]

so how do I create my own item, is there a trick to it?

in the resource pack

[smoky anchor]

use poisonous potato, remove the food/consumable components
add custom components

idk about the RP, I think like this you would need one model file and one item model definition file (which would simply refer to the model, if you don't have any fancy logic/tints/idk)

[smoky anchor]

(this item specifically, without the food/consumable components, does not do anything, is not used anywhere, nobody wants to trade it or anything, it's a perfect "dummy" item)

[summer scroll]

Damn, mojang really is cooking

[blazing ocean]

why would you use a poisonous potato

[smoky anchor]

-# read message below

[blazing ocean]

that's an interactable item

[smoky anchor]

You can remove the components and it will not be

[blazing ocean]

pointless work tho

use popped chorus fruits

[smoky anchor]

has crafting recipe

[blazing ocean]

and?

can't really craft items with custom components in vanilla recipes

[smoky anchor]

you'd have to remove those or make an event to check for your custom item to not craft

[smoky anchor]

yes you can ?

[blazing ocean]

?

how 2 craft popped chorus fruit with item model of diamond

[smoky anchor]

all it does is check for the item type
recipes don't care about components

you can use the popped chorus fruit to craft the blocks

[blazing ocean]

ohh you meant that

[smoky anchor]

ye, my bad, I should have said it better

[blazing ocean]

I mean I usually remove all unneeded vanilla recipes

or just check in the event

[smoky anchor]

Yes, if you're not making vanilla compatible plugin

[smoky anchor]

Ye, but you don't have to
I guess this is a matter of preference here.
But in datapacks, you don't really have that choice, so that potato it is.

[blazing ocean]

just don't overuse datapacks like that

[tiny tangle]

guys

i need some advice

doing this Inventory gui = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 36, "test"); player.openInventory(gui); is there a way not to open the player inventory with the gui at same time ? "i want only be server side"

[smoky anchor]

Do you mean you only want the top side ?

[tiny tangle]

yeah, only the top

as standalone gui

[smoky anchor]

Then no

[tiny tangle]

its weird

[smoky anchor]

I guess you could have some "workarounds" That would hide "hide" the bottom inventory.

[tiny tangle]

some plugin did it

[smoky anchor]

Show us :)

[tiny tangle]

like for example

Kryptonite

or RestorerSkin

those kind of menu

[smoky anchor]

show some images please

[smoky anchor]

#bot-commands

My guess will be a resource pack that uses font magic to hide the bottom inventory.
And clearing the items client-side so no hover thing happens.

[tiny tangle]

i dont have idea, its only a plugin and no resourcepack.rar

i will show

omg

effect mandela

yeah, you right

i was like I certantly sure it was standalone gui

i wanna die

☠️

although ,sorry for my misbehave :C , could teach me how to import the net.minecraft, please. :3

[fierce whale]

I used setCamera packet in survival mode. but InventoryClickEvent didn't work.
Is it impossible to detect inventory click after camera packet sent?

[pseudo hazel]

how can the camera be moved if you are in an inventory

[fierce whale]

We can use NMS to send setCameraPacket

So I made the survival player spectate armorstand.

[slender elbow]

you can also use the API

oh idk about in survival

[young knoll]

I'm pretty sure the client just doesn't send inventory packets when in camera mode

[high glen]

hi i make plugin for my private server with friends and i ned help

[fierce whale]

Yes I thought that so, but I checked some server detect inventory clicking in other camera.
Theoretically is it impossible?

[high glen]

so someone can help me?

[echo basalt]

?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!

[torn shuttle]

so wait can this specific command be run on actual custom models because I'm not really getting it to work

[smoky anchor]

Yes, should be

[smoky anchor]

Your model definition is not correct

[torn shuttle]

ignore typo

even not typo'd it doesn't work

[smoky anchor]

you need two files, item model definition and the model file

[torn shuttle]

but the item model definition restricts me to a specific item right

[smoky anchor]

also no

the item_model is the reference to item model definition I believe

[torn shuttle]

wait

that can't be right

let me check

[torn shuttle]

random example

on a mace

what would I even need to type to make it spawn with the model

because I can do it with a completely different command

this one works

[smoky anchor]

Sorry I can't really respond well at this moment, playing coop game :D

take a look into your clients console, maybe the RP has some errors

[torn shuttle]

the model works

with that specific command

but only for the mace

hence me asking if this means I can only use these if they have a file in minecraft/items and a json specific to the item type that they are being applied to

[smoky anchor]

you can use any model definition on any item

[torn shuttle]

how would I use that specific model definition on a diamond sword

or using the command you posted

[blazing ocean]

the item model tag takes in an item model definition's identifier

[blazing ocean]

pretty sure it's models/item instead

it is yeah

[pseudo hazel]

but its always a model

wtf mojank

[torn shuttle]

doesn't work either

[blazing ocean]

why would an item_model component allow for other models?

[pseudo hazel]

wdym

[blazing ocean]

anything in the client logs?

[pseudo hazel]

why specify models is what I mean

[torn shuttle]

what command should I even be running to try it

[blazing ocean]

/give @p diamond[item_model=elitemobs:bronze_axe] iirc

[torn shuttle]

nothing that would really make me think the rsp is wrong

[blazing ocean]

and does it look correct in game?

[torn shuttle]

no

[blazing ocean]

interesting

[torn shuttle]

I mean the docs don't lead me to think it would necessarily be impossible to do this but...

[pseudo hazel]

why would it give missing texture error

[torn shuttle]

I can't even get this command to work with anything other than minecraft defaults

[blazing ocean]

well, is the texture defined correctly?

[torn shuttle]

yes

[blazing ocean]

show your model definition

[torn shuttle]

I mean I showed it earlier

it works with the other command

I don't see why it would work with one and not the other

[blazing ocean]

well

you would need to remove those predicates

if you add predicates so it only works if those are fulfilled, you obviously won't get it when they aren't

[torn shuttle]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[torn shuttle]

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

that's the actual axe file

[pseudo hazel]

this one has custom_model_data and the recent command has item_model

also you misspelled bronze to broze

[blazing ocean]

what's this one?

[torn shuttle]

i'm still not even sure of whether it would even be possible to have a model definition for one item type apply to different item types via commands or api

[torn shuttle]

that's another one I was testing

a random mace I edited

look here's the pack

that might be easier

I know it's a mess, I was in the middle of trying to figure it out

I think I'm going to give up on using item_model, it just doesn't seem to work for non defaults and I guess we'll have to make a model definition per item type we need

[smoky anchor]

you're def doing something wrong, I'll take a look at it once I have time

[worldly ingot]

You're misunderstanding how the model system works now

The item model component pulls from assets/<namespace>/items, not from assets/<namespace>/models/item. There's a difference between the two

As an example, take the fishing rod. There's a assets/minecraft/items/fishing_rod.json, and that model file points to either assets/minecraft/models/item/fishing_rod.json or assets/minecraft/models/item/fishing_rod_cast.json based on a predicate if the item has its fishing_rod/cast property set to true

[blazing ocean]

see mcmeta

[worldly ingot]

If you want a very simple model without any conditions or anything like that, all you need is a model file to point to your model definition

assets/elitemobs/items/bronze_axe.json

{
  "model": {
    "type": "minecraft:model",
    "model": "elitemobs:item/bronze_axe"
  }
}

assets/elitemobs/models/item/bronze_axe.json

{
  ... your current model definition ... this can honestly stay as you have it currently
}

[pseudo hazel]

then the wiki is wrong ig https://minecraft.wiki/w/Data_component_format

[worldly ingot]

Yes, the wiki is wrong

Or at best, poorly phrased

[pseudo hazel]

well it says its based on assets/models/item pretty explicitly

[worldly ingot]

I'll propose an edit

Because it's wrong lol

[pseudo hazel]

yeah, alright thanks for clarifying

[worldly ingot]

Wiki should be updated now

The best reference you can use is vanilla's assets directory. Look at assets/minecraft/items/fishing_rod.json and its referencing files in assets/minecraft/models/item

And then look at a simple model like assets/minecraft/items/apple.json and its companion in assets/minecraft/models/item/apple.json

I guess I should cc @torn shuttle because it's been a while, but your explanation is above #help-development message

[torn shuttle]

argh

[torn shuttle]

and then you should be able to use this command to verify it? /give @p mace[item_model="bronze_axe"]

[worldly ingot]

elitemobs:bronze_axe, but yes

[torn shuttle]

holy shit

it worked

thanks bae

I knew I called off that hitman when you didn't add the pathfinding api for a reason

[worldly ingot]

[upper hazel]

this pointless adding redacting object params if they resets after reloading config

?

[blazing ocean]

you what

[upper hazel]

Most of the settings depend on the config that the player can reload and reset params. Is it worth adding the ability to change settings via api?

I know that you can add some kind of modifications like with attributes in bukkit api but not for all knows

[river oracle]

it depends. Do you think it will be useful addition to your API? If yes add it. If no don't add it

[upper hazel]

i want what you think obaut it

or i can add smth like reload event?

[torn shuttle]

oh since they changed a bunch of stuff about rsps

did they change the fonts file

can we now have a different way of doing spacing?

[blazing ocean]

what

there's been two ways for a while

[torn shuttle]

I haven't looked at it in years

[blazing ocean]

either sth like https://github.com/AmberWat/NegativeSpaceFont or shaders

[torn shuttle]

what's the better solution for more compatibility with other plugins?

seems like negative space font "fixes" things by just coming up with a ton of possible spaces

[pseudo hazel]

shaders

but idk why spaces arent compatible with other plugins

[river oracle]

Yeah if it's applied to the server other plugins can use it?

[torn shuttle]

more like other plugins have to use it

if they apply their own font logic it will break

like right now my plugin would probably be breaking that negativespacefont thing

and the problem is that if I start using it then every other plugin will break it

(potentialy)

[high glen]

https://github.com/fifazak/PluginMinecraft plis can someone can repair this ?

[smoky anchor]

not if we don't have access to it

[high glen]

sr now is public

[smoky anchor]

I forgot the command again, but please tell us what is wrong with it as well
"pls fix" is useless if we don't know what broke

?notworking

[undone axle]

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

[smoky anchor]

One thing I don't like is the way you do commands
Just make 3 separate classes

You have 3x the same method isInGuildRegion
Make some util class for this instead.

[torn shuttle]

yeah I don't see a good alternative for negative space

well

not an easy one at least

[smoky anchor]

Q: how exactly can plugin break negativespacefont ?

[torn shuttle]

by having their own default font file with different values that use the same unicode

[smoky anchor]

default ?
As in replacing the vanilla font ?

[pseudo hazel]

yes

[young knoll]

You should use a custom font

[torn shuttle]

yeah I was trying to see how a custom font can be used

wasn't really finding much

do I just create a font file and name it something else? how do I refrence it later?

[young knoll]

This is a custom font

[pseudo hazel]

its a bit hard to use a custom font esp for stuff like inventory titles in spigot

[young knoll]

Yeah you’d need some NMS

[torn shuttle]

then why does it have a minecraft/font/default.json file full of custom spacing

[young knoll]

Oh does it

[pseudo hazel]

yeah

[torn shuttle]

why say it isn't

[young knoll]

I thought it used its own namespace

[pseudo hazel]

this overrides the vanilla font

[torn shuttle]

if you haven't seen it

[pseudo hazel]

for characters that arent used

[young knoll]

You can just rename the font file

[torn shuttle]

then back to what I just asked

[young knoll]

And move it to your own namespace ideally

[torn shuttle]

how do I then tell it to use that spacing for, say, an inventory title

or a chat message

[young knoll]

For a chat message you can use bungee components

[pseudo hazel]

paper

[young knoll]

And just set the font value to yournamespace:font_name

[smoky anchor]

apparently it's this easy to make a negative space font since some version ?

[torn shuttle]

and menus?

rightn ow I only do it for menus

[torn shuttle]

I was also looking at that

but it still falls prey to the exact same issue I am talking about

[pseudo hazel]

you cant do it in spigot api

you either need to use some downstream fork or NMS

[torn shuttle]

well

guess it's staying as is then

[pseudo hazel]

which is why this font is probably using the default too xD

[young knoll]

Yeah that’s fair

I just use a bit of NMS for it

[blazing ocean]

since 1.16 iirc

https://github.com/AmberWat/NegativeSpaceFont

[quaint mantle]

what do you mean with negative font?

[torn shuttle]

I'm not that invested in getting this to work right now, was just checkign in on the latest meta since some stuff had to change anyway

[quaint mantle]

like minor spacing?

oh space font

[pseudo hazel]

negative spacing

[smoky anchor]

"writing to the left"

[quaint mantle]

didn't read that

[pseudo hazel]

space towards the left

[torn shuttle]

would be nice if spigot got it to work with the namespace

sure would be poggies

[smoky anchor]

-# would be nice if spigot got out of the stone age

[young knoll]

Choco’s PR is still open

[torn shuttle]

for this?

[young knoll]

For everything component

[torn shuttle]

why is it still open, is it because he's dum

[young knoll]

Because MD hasn’t merged it yet

[torn shuttle]

how long has it been open for?

[pseudo hazel]

adventure's integration into the api is 99% of the reason im using paper api

please dont ban

[young knoll]

A year

[torn shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/hobbit-adventure-gif-18135104

well

would be nice if/when it's added

[fiery willow]

Does someone know how i can place red carpet instead of the default white? I'm Developing on java 1.8 so i can't use the RED_CARPET like this it trows an error. So i'm using the legacy item but don't know how to change the color of it....

        Location startLocation = placedBlock.getLocation().clone();

        for (int x = -CARPET_RADIUS; x <= CARPET_RADIUS; x++) {
            for (int z = -CARPET_RADIUS; z <= CARPET_RADIUS; z++) {
                if (x == -CARPET_RADIUS || x == CARPET_RADIUS || z == -CARPET_RADIUS || z == CARPET_RADIUS) {
                    Location loc = startLocation.clone().add(x, 0, z);
                    Block block = loc.getBlock();
                    if (block.getType() != Material.AIR && block.getType() != Material.valueOf("CARPET")) {
                        while (block.getType() != Material.AIR && block.getType() != Material.valueOf("CARPET") && block.getY() < placedBlock.getWorld().getMaxHeight() - 1) {
                            loc.setY(loc.getY() + 1);
                            block = loc.getBlock();
                        }
                    }
                    if (block.getType() == Material.AIR) {
                        block.setType(Material.valueOf("CARPET"));
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }```

[young knoll]

setTypeAndData iirc

[fiery willow]

setTypeAndData is not working for me. I'm using, maybe this is the issue?

import org.bukkit.block.Block;

i only can use, but idk how i should use this if could:

setblockdata(BlockData blockData) or setblockdata(BlockData blockData, boolean b)

[chrome beacon]

You should get the docs

[split tinsel]

What is the website that has all the information on packets on it?

i forgot the link

[tall dragon]

wiki.vg

iirc

[blazing ocean]

it's dead

[young knoll]

It was wiki.vg but it’s dead

[tall dragon]

ah

[young knoll]

It’s on the wiki now

[blazing ocean]

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Minecraft_Wiki:Forum/Wiki.vg_merge/Protocol

wait no

that's the board

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Minecraft_Wiki:Projects/wiki.vg_merge/Protocol

this one

[split tinsel]

There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page.

[sullen marlin]

Jeez, get it right rad

[blazing ocean]

😔

[split tinsel]

I swear the wiki vg website was easier to use than this

do i really need to scroll all the way down?

[blazing ocean]

you had to do the same thing on wiki.vg too?

lol

[pure tiger]

Does anyone know how can I get the names and values of a preexisting scoreboard objective by name. I already have tried this but it gets all the names and scores from every existing objective

ScoreboardManager manager = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager();
Scoreboard board = manager.getMainScoreboard();
Objective objective = board.getObjective(scoreboard_points);

for (String entry : objective.getScoreboard().getEntries()) {
    Score score = objective.getScore(entry);
    Bukkit.broadcastMessage(entry+" :"+score.getScore());
}

[split tinsel]

What is "ClientInformation"

Oh wait its nullable

im an idiot

[tender void]

it seems to be very important! I hope someone helps you!!!!!

[split tinsel]

does anyone know what they changed the name of the ClientboundAddPlayerPacket to in 1.21?

[blazing ocean]

are you trying to make NPCs

but it's just a ClientboundAddEntityPacket

[obtuse hedge]

There is text on that page

[pure tiger]

can anyone help me with my problem

[split tinsel]

Yes, but if I do that i get this weird error:

[blazing ocean]

why are you trying to use it with a bytebuf

[split tinsel]

I'm not

[blazing ocean]

I mean

you are

[split tinsel]

im passing the ServerPlayer object

[blazing ocean]

it doesn't look like you are

[blazing ocean]

and what type is npc

[blazing ocean]

does it compile

[split tinsel]

No:

incompatible types: net.minecraft.server.level.ServerPlayer cannot be converted to net.minecraft.network.RegistryFriendlyByteBuf

idk why its trying to convert to that

[blazing ocean]

its because you're not passing in the rest of the args

public ClientboundAddEntityPacket(
        int entityId, UUID uuid, double x, double y, double z, float pitch, float yaw, EntityType<?> entityType, int entityData, Vec3 velocity, double headYaw
    )

[split tinsel]

how do I get those values from a ServerPlayer?

[blazing ocean]

sigh

ServerPlayer#uuid etc

[split tinsel]

oh ok

idk why minecraft devs made it more complicated

[eternal night]

that constructor is not the one usually used lol

[blazing ocean]

i've usually used that one

[eternal night]

yea but just not the one used by mojang

[split tinsel]

I think I figured it out

public void createNPC(MinecraftServer server, ServerLevel level, UUID uuid, String name) {
        ServerPlayer npc = new ServerPlayer(server, level, new GameProfile(uuid, name), null);
        ServerEntity entity = new ServerEntity(npc.serverLevel(), npc, 0, false, packet ->
        {}, Set.of());

        for (Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            ServerGamePacketListenerImpl connection = ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().connection;

            connection.send(new ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket(ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Action.ADD_PLAYER, npc));
            connection.send(npc.getAddEntityPacket(entity));
        }
    }

[sonic goblet]

You can create the packet outside of the for loop so you’re not creating the same packet over and over for each player

[fossil ridge]

So I am using Bukkit#getOfflinePlayer(UUID) to generate player skulls, however if the player isn't online it generates a steve head. What can I do?

[young knoll]

You should use PlayerProfile instead

[fossil ridge]

can I do that with just uuid?

[young knoll]

Yes

I believe OfflinePlayer even has a getPlayerProfile

[fossil ridge]

oh that's good, ty!

[young knoll]

But you’ll probably need to call complete() on it

[fossil ridge]

should I do that async?

oh nvm it's async anyway

ty!

still a steve..

so there's times where the player is a steve but then there's times where the head loads (like 1/5)

[mortal vortex]

How long?

Usually that never happens with me. What’s your method like?

[young knoll]

Could be a rate limit thing

[mortal vortex]

Nah doubt it.

[young knoll]

Look sometimes I need to load 10,000 head textures at once

Kek

[sly topaz]

it isn't async

you have to call complete in a different thread

wha, complete is a paper thing I guess

[young knoll]

Ah it’s update()

[proper cobalt]

    private List<GuiItem> getGraphItems(Duration timeAgo) {

        for (int i = 0; i < this.values.size(); i++) {
            if (i == 0) continue;
            String color = "green";
            float value = this.values.get(i);

            if (value < this.values.get(i - 1)) {

        this.row = this.startRow;
        Bukkit.getLogger().info("Graph items: " + items);
        return items;
    }

This code is meant to make graphs so like the green goes up and the red goes down.
The red works fine it goes down but the green? The green just stays in the same spot

Example

Is there an ovbvious flaw, Ai wasnt able to figure it out

problem Might be here aswell

    private void getItemPlaceRow(Material material) {
        if (material.equals(RED_MATERIAL)) {
            if (this.row < 4) this.row++;
        } else if (material.equals(GREEN_MATERIAL)) {
            if (this.row > 0) this.row--;
        }
    }

[rough ibex]

• is named get
• doesn't get & return anything

[proper cobalt]

blame bro over here

😭

We are refactoring an old project

[ebon temple]

Marek getting a 99% salary cut tomorrow

[proper cobalt]

Hes already long gone lmao

[ebon temple]

void is nasty work bro

[proper cobalt]

nah there was worse code in here written by him

[ebon temple]

my man's a magician getting voids out here

[ebon temple]

show show show show

[proper cobalt]

we've already refactored most but maybe I can find it

let me check git history

[rough ibex]

so the issue is the green never goes up?

[proper cobalt]

yeah

idk why

red goes down fine

[rough ibex]

you could refactor this so badly

        for (int i = 0; i < this.values.size(); i++) {
            if (i == 0) continue;``` 🤮

[proper cobalt]

kk

[rough ibex]

literally start from 1

[proper cobalt]

 private int row = 2;
    private int startRow = 2;

starts at 2

[rough ibex]

I meant in the for loop

int i = 1

you skip i = 0 always anyway

[proper cobalt]

oh yeah cool

[rough ibex]

some comments would be really nice

instead of trying to see the implementation in my head

is UPDATE_INTERVAL a static field

[proper cobalt]

yeah

public static final Duration UPDATE_INTERVAL = Duration.ofSeconds(60);

[proper cobalt]

sorry man

[rough ibex]

i'd love for that to be a config value

[proper cobalt]

yeah defo will be

[rough ibex]

but for in dev ok

[proper cobalt]

noted that thsx

[rough ibex]

can I have the rest of the implementation

[proper cobalt]

yeah

[rough ibex]

ie. values

[proper cobalt]

like the whole class?

[rough ibex]

yeah sure

how... big is it?

[proper cobalt]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[proper cobalt]

prolly like 150 lines

most of it is bloat tho

[rough ibex]

oh okay thats fine

[proper cobalt]

so it wont matter

aight its 324 lines but istg most of it can be ignored

its just for the buttons or whatever

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

[rough ibex]

i will suggest using jspecify

as a small note

[proper cobalt]

is that like annotations for not null n shi

[rough ibex]

yes

[proper cobalt]

im not in control of that but ill suggest it

[rough ibex]

you can just @NullMarked all of it and it's great

[proper cobalt]

is nullmarked = notnull?

[rough ibex]

intellij supports it just fine

yes

[proper cobalt]

kk

yeah idk i cant figure it out

[rough ibex]

go ahead and refactor it and see if something shakes out

[proper cobalt]

Yeah good plan

Nearly fixed it

idk why its still slightly messing up

actually nah idk wtf is even that result

how is red going up

🤦‍♂️

[worldly ingot]

I think you have an if statement backwards lol

[tough parcel]

is there a way to make bungeecord send an FML handshake to a player to be able to see the player's forge mods (i am aware this can be spoofed) or just help me understand the documentation

[proper cobalt]

yeah ngl it was nearly that

operations were wrong

its nearly fine now

[sly topaz]

if you are doing a plugin on the proxy, ProxiedPlayer has information about the mods

https://ci.md-5.net/job/BungeeCord/ws/api/target/apidocs/net/md_5/bungee/api/connection/ProxiedPlayer.html#getModList()

alr thanks

@ivory sleet hai

[grim hound]

Can HikariConfig be configured to save the db file locally?

[chrome beacon]

You mean just using sqlite?

[grim hound]

Ohhh

Yeah

[blazing ocean]

squeal lite

[chrome beacon]

Then yes

It can

[mortal vortex]

isnt hikari for pooling? and whats the point of pooling if ur using sqlite anyways?

[sly topaz]

eh, hikari makes it easier to handle concurrent queries if anything, though it is definitely true that a database like sqlite would benefit from just having a single connection open

I do wonder how that changes when it comes to wal/wal2 mode

[mortal vortex]

Exactly

[wet breach]

you can't have connection pooling with sqlite nor is there a connection. Sqlite uses a file handle.

if you use hikari with sqlite, it just returns a file handle so at least nothing bad happens in that regards but at that point you might as well not use the lib since its just unnecessary dependency lol

[wet breach]

There isn't unless you are setting up your plugin to work with other sql DB's other then sqlite for users and making it easier by having a centralized connection point regardless of which is used.

[mortal vortex]

Ah that makes sense, so I imagine they were asking if they could use Hikari as an edgecase for their existing implementations, gotcha.

Thanks, always appreciate a chance to learn @wet breach

[wet breach]

[sly topaz]

you can have connection pooling

even if it is just a file handle as you say, you save on the setting up and creation of of the connection object, which doesn't only imply instantiating the object, it's a series of system calls that needs to be done each time

besides, there's also the aspect of concurrent reads, though I doubt anyone here would care about that so whether it matters for this scenario is questionable

[short pilot]

hows everyone xd

[rough drift]

wc but good

[short pilot]

these are some pretty neat code practices, they teach them in college too and in style guides for jobs (varies)

[rough drift]

@echo basalt

public class MyManager {
   
   private final Map<UUID, PlayerData> playerData = new HashMap<>();

   public void setPlayerData(UUID uuid, PlayerData data) {
        playerData.put(uuid, data);
   }
   
   public Map<UUID, PlayerData> getPlayerData() {
        return Map.copyOf(playerData);
   }
}
```This is unnecessarily slow, you should use

```java
public class MyManager {
   
   private final Map<UUID, PlayerData> playerData = new HashMap<>();
   private final Map<UUID, PlayerData> playerDataView = Collections.unmodifiableMap(this.playerData);

   public void setPlayerData(UUID uuid, PlayerData data) {
        playerData.put(uuid, data);
   }
   
   public Map<UUID, PlayerData> getPlayerData() {
        return playerDataView;
   }
}

[echo basalt]

One's a snapshot and one's a view

[rough drift]

fair enough I forgot about that lmao

I am way too tired to make suggestions

but yeah depends on what you want

[grim hound]

Importing info from other plugins

[mortal vortex]

Huh

How is hikari relevant to that.

[grim hound]

They save their info using Hikari

[torn shuttle]

this update is pretty cool and also a pain in the ass

I like the new model stuff

hate having to update my code

[mortal vortex]

You mean using SQLite?

Did you not read what I said? I meant Hikari is kinda fruitless with SQLite.

[grim hound]

👍

[mortal vortex]

As frost said. There’s literally no reason to just use Hikari on its own. It does nothing but just return the file, so it’s an unnessecary extra step?

How is this relevant to Hikari, when what’s you’re describing is just a factor of SQLite.

You can load data from SQLite. Nothing needs to be done at all with Hikari.

[grim hound]

How can I do that?

[mortal vortex]

Just using SQLite? You don’t need Hikari.

What do you want Hikari for exactly? Hikari is a connection pooler for database management. If you’re using SQLite you don’t need Hikari.

[grim hound]

So how do I read a SQLite file?

[grim hound]

Okay

[chrome beacon]

You open a regular Connection

[mortal vortex]

Google it. You use the jdbc driver, it’s built in.

[chrome beacon]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/establishing-jdbc-connection-in-java/

[mortal vortex]

this is the XY problem. You should ask what exactly it is you need, instead about asking for what you think is the potential solution

[grim hound]

I was thinking of adding a db feature anyway

[chrome beacon]

swap driver to the sql one that's bundled with Spigot and jdbc url should point to the file

[grim hound]

It wasn't purely for reading sqllite

[chrome beacon]

Hikari is useful for other databases

[mortal vortex]

Yes but you don’t need Hikari to just utilize Databases. I think you’re reading too far ahead. Databases don’t require hikariCP innately. Hikari is a useful tool for concurrent connections with other DBs such as Maria or MySQL

Most of your plugin users won’t have a dedicated database. And will instead opt to use just plain old SQLite.

Handling SQLite as an edge case under hikari is fine. But using hikari for SQLite alone is kinda pointless

[fossil ridge]

it is, the docs say "This is an asynchronous operation: ..."

[fossil ridge]

so I am now using update().thenAcceptAsync but it still sometimes fails to render

[chrome beacon]

Calling complete on it forces it to wait sync

[fossil ridge]

I don't want to block since I am loading up to 30 heads each time the menu gets opened

[short pilot]

Is there anywhere you can find the performance of the API calls in spigot? Like checkBlocks being more taxing than .isOp, and so on

[chrome beacon]

Not really

You can benchmark yourself

[blazing ocean]

usually it's kind of common sense that e.g. a block check is more expensive, but the JD to tell you if e.g. that method returns a clone (like item meta), otherwise, look at the impl

[young knoll]

Does anyone have experience with lightweight command apis that work with brigadier

I’ve been looking at Commodore and CommandAPI

[chrome beacon]

Commodore

CommandAPI isn't that bad but it is heavier

[young knoll]

Does it offer any significant advantages?

[chrome beacon]

Which one

[young knoll]

CommandAPI

[chrome beacon]

It's more abstracted from Brigadier

if that's an advantage or not depends on how much you like Brigadier

[jagged bobcat]

Looked at cloud?

It supports commodore too

[chrome beacon]

Cloud is not lightweight

[jagged bobcat]

Option still

[blazing ocean]

I love cloud!

[young knoll]

At this point I should just turn my core utils into a plugin like Eco

But having that dependency is blah

[chrome beacon]

Yeah not worth

[blazing ocean]

fuck dependencies amirite-

[chrome beacon]

Users can't figure out how to update or download them

[young knoll]

Kek

[chrome beacon]

so you just get a ton of bug reports

[blazing ocean]

Man am I happy I don't do public plugins

[chrome beacon]

If there's one thing you learn by doing plugin support

it's that people do not read

even if you tell them what to read

[blazing ocean]

[chrome beacon]

Copy pasting it for them does seem to work better

same goes for bot commands with replies

Then just ignore the bot replies

[blazing ocean]

yeah

classic

[jagged bobcat]

If I open my plugins for the public they need to compile it themselves I don't want to have non educated people complaining to me about x and y when z is the fix for it

[blazing ocean]

real and based

[chrome beacon]

Now people will come to you asking how to compile

or just beg you in dms for a jar

[jagged bobcat]

Blocking exists

[blazing ocean]

and banning >:)

[chrome beacon]

true

[ivory sleet]

Why not just use brigadier?

[blazing ocean]

spigot doesn't have the brig api

[ivory sleet]

Commodore is basically just the file format thingy for it

[blazing ocean]

and I doubt you wanna be using NMS

[ivory sleet]

Euhm, mayhaps :)

[blazing ocean]

[chrome beacon]

File format is a separate dependency and can be excluded

You can just use the Brigadier wrapping part of Commodore if you don't want the rest

Hello, i'm trying to create a custom plugin for my server that uses the LuckPerms API. This is how i'm obtaining the api instance in the onEnable(): java RegisteredServiceProvider<LuckPerms> provider = Bukkit.getServicesManager().getRegistration(LuckPerms.class); if (provider != null) { LuckPerms api = provider.getProvider(); } And this is the error that i'm getting trying to get an instance to their API. [14:42:48 ERROR]: Could not pass event AsyncPlayerChatEvent to TWChat v1.0 java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "net.luckperms.api.LuckPerms.getPlayerAdapter(java.lang.Class)" because "this.luckPerms" is null I don't really know why its null because the LuckPerms plugin is loaded and works correctly, and i added the dependency on my pom.xml and my plugin.yml

[worldly ingot]

When are you getting it?

[high glen]

https://github.com/fifazak/PluginMinecraft can some one can tell me what is wron and why its work?

[chrome beacon]

You should tell us what's wrong

[undone summit]

on a player chat event

[worldly ingot]

Also I don't think LuckPerms' API is a service

[chrome beacon]

We won't compile and run your plugin just to find the issue

[worldly ingot]

You should be using LuckPermsProvider.get() instead

[undone summit]

that's the code that is provided by the LuckPerms docs, but i'll try that too thanks

[worldly ingot]

Is it? lol

[undone summit]

yessir

[worldly ingot]

Oh it is. Well it mentions singleton access as well which is honestly a bit nicer

[undone summit]

i'll try the singleton access then thanks!

[chrome beacon]

Singleton is also on the wiki

It's just the last example

[rotund hawk]

I used to multicore to upload lobby and I download better rtp I tried rtp but happened

How to fix

[chrome beacon]

Looks like it can't find a safe location

[rotund hawk]

Ohh

[chrome beacon]

Make sure it's configured in a world that exists and within bounds that has safe locations

[rotund hawk]

What I do

This lobby are not connected to world

[smoky anchor]

Dude, I literally told you yesterday to tell us what is wrong with it, what it does/does not do
what you expect it to do

[chrome beacon]

?notworking

[undone axle]

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

[smoky anchor]

That I did yesterday too
Guy just did not care...

[chrome beacon]

Yeah people don't like to read

[high glen]

Listen, I'm not a programming specialist, I'm 14 and I watched a few videos on YouTube and I'm trying to make a plugin for the server with my friends. I would tell you what exactly isn't working, but I don't know and the only error I get in the console is "cannot find symbol" so I'm just asking for help

You dont' need to be a specialist to tell us what's wrong

[chrome beacon]

but yeah time to learn some Java

[undone summit]

I tried using the Singleton Access but i still get this error: [15:01:50 ERROR]: Error occurred while enabling TWChat v1.0 (Is it up to date?) net.luckperms.api.LuckPermsProvider$NotLoadedException: The LuckPerms API isn't loaded yet! This could be because: a) the LuckPerms plugin is not installed or it failed to enable b) the plugin in the stacktrace does not declare a dependency on LuckPerms c) the plugin in the stacktrace is retrieving the API before the plugin 'enable' phase (call the #get method in onEnable, not the constructor!) This is how i'm accessing the API now: ```java
if(!Bukkit.getPluginManager().isPluginEnabled("LuckPerms")){
logger.severe("LuckPerms was not found, disabling...");
this.getPluginLoader().disablePlugin(this);
}
this.luckPerms = LuckPermsProvider.get();
loadListeners();
logger.info("TWChat enabled!");

[young knoll]

Do you declare a dependency on luckperms

[undone summit]

yes, this is my plugin.yml: yml name: TWChat version: '1.0' main: xyz.unhandlederror.TWChat.TWChat api-version: '1.21' depend: [LuckPerms]

oops

[high glen]

I don't know what's not working, it looks like none of the iports are working, e.g. teamManager and loccalSesion, but I have all the libraries and repositories in POM

[chrome beacon]

Don't know what's not working, proceeds to tell us what's not working

That's the wrong word isn't it

🤷‍♂️

[smoky anchor]

Well, I have to say that what you wrote so far looks pretty good.
Which is interesting provided your imports are not working?, did you write all of that manually ?

I think all the dependencies are correct.
I don't see any mistake (tho I didn't look really that deep)
Did you reload maven ? @high glen

[chrome beacon]

Could also be an outdated Intellij issue

[ancient plank]

this is the most annoying thing to experience tbh

[chrome beacon]

Actually no the imports are just wrong

They don't match the plugin did you write them by hand

or use GPT to generate the code for you

[ancient plank]

they said they followed a tutorial on YouTube

so i imagine they paused it and copied it all

[chrome beacon]

Outdated tutorial then 💀

[smoky anchor]

-# bruh

[quasi gulch]

I used bstats as a Dependecy in my Plugin and its compiled into the plugin jar but i still get an error that the method cant be found even if its there.

[smoky anchor]

Did you shade bstats ?

[quasi gulch]

yes i think. Do you mean relocate? Yes into my package. I switched to the newest API Version 3.1.0 and then the error came up but when i switch back to 3.0.2 it works again

Thats my Pom with Shade Plugin

[chrome beacon]

output file in maven shade plugin 💀

https://blog.jeff-media.com/how-to-make-maven-automatically-put-your-plugins-jar-into-your-test-servers-plugins-folder/

[quasi gulch]

Yeah but its not wrong. And thats not the error?

[chrome beacon]

It is wrong to do so

And yes it could be the error

[quasi gulch]

Why can it be the error?

[chrome beacon]

Because you might end up with multiple copies of your jar in your plugins folder

and some may not contain the shaded deps

[quasi gulch]

Okay i changed it now but i still get the same error.

[young knoll]

I guess I could just libraries feature all my dependencies

And deal with the console spam on startup, kek

[glossy laurel]

Would runTaskLater(p, t, 0) run before runTask(p, t)?

[chrome beacon]

Probably not

[young knoll]

No

[glossy laurel]

Same time?

[young knoll]

Yes

Start of the next tick

[glossy laurel]

Wb runTaskLater(p, t, 1) and runTask(p, t)?

[young knoll]

Same time

[kind coral]

is there a documentation about what brigadier'sfork and forward methods do? (and how to use them)

[young knoll]

Check brigs GitHub I guess

[kind coral]

if there was a wiki 🤷🏻‍♂️

[glossy laurel]

So 0 just gets set to 1 ig?

[blazing ocean]

you could check fabric's

[young knoll]

Yes

[blazing ocean]

? what

wdym

[glossy laurel]

Scroll up

[blazing ocean]

it gets scheduled to run in the next tick

[quaint mantle]

is there a bungee eventfor when a server is down?

i mean when it stops

[blazing ocean]

no

you would need to do your own SLP checks

[wet breach]

connection pooling does not exist for files

all hikari does, is just connects to the sqlite file no differently then accessing a file. As I said earlier the only reason you would use hikari for this is because you want to allow configuring between mysql or sqlite and having the implementation centralized

[ivory sleet]

iirc its a transitive dep, but ye I mean if u just wna use commodore u could just directly use brig otherwise in my opinion

[chrome beacon]

It is but you can exclude it

[grim hound]

Yeah I know

But I was requested to add db support

[grim hound]

I could get familiar with the api by starting with SQLite and adding the rest afterwards

[young knoll]

A lot of shared hosts offer a MySQL database tbf

[chrome beacon]

^^

[pure dagger]

why is my intellij telling me that the result of mkdirs() is ignored, i dont need the result, if i assign it to a variable it says that its not used

[eternal night]

ignore it

[young knoll]

If it returns false that means it failed iirc

Which isn’t ideal

[pure dagger]

wait my image is ... umm sendin

im lagging so much

[young knoll]

So you should print an error or something

Crash the JVM for fun idk

[pseudo hazel]

panic

[chrome beacon]

false could just mean that the dir already exists

[young knoll]

That’s annoying

[ivory sleet]

no not necessarily

[pure dagger]

but normally it doesnt make warnings if i ignore results, only if the method only returns something, buti this one does something and returns something

its stupid

[chrome beacon]

?

true if and only if the directory was created, along with all necessary parent directories; false otherwise

[ivory sleet]

yes IFF it was created

if its unknown it'll be false

if it wasnt created itll also be false

[young knoll]

So it may have failed or it may already exist

I mean I guess you could just check if it already exists first

But still, clearly we need 3 different return values!

[ivory sleet]

i think the nio path files api reflects this non-binary state better

ye

[pure dagger]

if (!file.exists()) {
            file.getParentFile().mkdirs();
            plugin.saveResource(fileName, false);
        }
``` what does this 'false' change if we already know it doesnt exist?

[pseudo hazel]

that it couldnt be created

because of permissions or whatever

[young knoll]

Or java is having an off day

[pure dagger]

what

[pure dagger]

but when

[young knoll]

[thorn crypt]

Hey, does someone know how to add a Flag in the list of Flags from the Faction plugin by MassiveCraft ? Because I tried this but I get an error :

MFlagColl.get().getAll().add(new MFlag(16_000, "TurretsFriendly", "Are affect by turrets", "Yes, they are affected", "No they are not affected", true, true, true));

[pure dagger]

i dont understand, when it could not be created?

[pseudo hazel]

when the program does not have permission to create folders in your target directory

[young knoll]

Creation can fail if the JVM doesn’t have write access to that directory

[pseudo hazel]

every file and folder on your PC has a list of things that are allowed to read/write it

[pure dagger]

still dont understand why it has to do with overriding a file if we know there is no file

[pseudo hazel]

usually its a free for all

wdym

this is about creating directories

[pure dagger]

this 'false' says not to override if it exists

but i checked if it does exist

[pseudo hazel]

oh

wait

[pure dagger]

xD

oh no

[pseudo hazel]

you mean the false in your plugin.saveResource(fileName, false);?

I thought you meant why makeDirs returned false

[pure dagger]

yes.... umm what did you think

oh

[pseudo hazel]

well

in that case, it doesnt matter

if the dir didnt exist before, there is nothing to overwrite

assuming its all the same path you are making/checking

[pure dagger]

okay so its just safer to do false

[pseudo hazel]

well

idk

in this case it literally does not matter

but the reason for the parameter is to not overwrite the existing file every time you call that function

i.e. a config file you dont wanna rewrite everytime

because people might have made changes in them

I dont even know if you need to makedirs in this case

[pure dagger]

why

[pseudo hazel]

because I think saveresource might make the dirs already for you

[pure dagger]

i dont knwo

[pseudo hazel]

?tryandsee

[undone axle]

https://tryitands.ee/

[pseudo hazel]

or keep the makedirs and its fine either way

[pure dagger]

umm maybe later

[pure dagger]

yeah

[tiny tangle]

hi

is there a way to use a custom texture for mob or item thats only server side?

[chrome beacon]

clientside you mean

[grim hound]

Yes there is

Uh

Kinda

[blazing ocean]

You can retexture the entire entity

but that's all

[tiny tangle]

i mean serverside, not client

i was like sort of checking poly

[blazing ocean]

polymer?

[tiny tangle]

but still cannot understand how to use that api, to manage packets?

yes

[blazing ocean]

polymer is for fabric

[tiny tangle]

is there a method that mimic that ?

im not sure if using protocollib

could do the trick

[young knoll]

Polymer probably does some display entity magic?

I would guess

[blazing ocean]

It does not

[tiny tangle]

before I step to going further look on and ask for fabric, i want be sure if can be done on bukkit xD haha ,

[blazing ocean]

Polymer doesn't have custom entity textures

because it is literally not possible without retexturing an entire entity

I love polymer tho <3

[tiny tangle]

im trying to do its, learning how to make a serverside backpack, so I could imitate "attempt" travelersbackpack mod only serverside on bukkit.

[blazing ocean]

if you do not like a huge fucking PITA, use resource packs

item models to be specific

[tiny tangle]

so I could like make a resource carpet and put the png there, then use normally org.bukkit, after that wrapping all?

[blazing ocean]

wha-

you create an item model

and then you use that item model in bukkit using either custom model data, or new in 1.21.4, the item_model component

[young knoll]

I think there is a language barrier here

Otherwise idk what a resource carpet is

[tiny tangle]

the resource directory file its where I put the config.yml and the plugin.yml file

[young knoll]

No

You need an entire resource pack and a way to send that pack to the client

[tiny tangle]

its my first time approaching resource packs

oh

[blazing ocean]

https://github.com/mcbrawls/inject quick shameless lil self promo

[young knoll]

Yeah but that’s not specifically designed for sending resource packs

You have to put in extra effort smh

[blazing ocean]

not much tho!

[young knoll]

try {
            provider = PackProvider.create(this, "localhost");
            provider.setDebugLogging(true);
            provider.addPack(new File(getDataFolder(), "test.zip").toPath()).setSendOnJoin(true);
            provider.addPack(new File(getDataFolder(), "test2.zip").toPath()).setSendOnJoin(true);
        } catch (PackProviderException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

When

[tiny tangle]

using blockbench?

[blazing ocean]

yes

[tiny tangle]

then the output of that make it .rar then using the code above?

haha, sorry if i sound like not very smart, never did it before.

is this still relevant ? :@EventHandler public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event){ event.getPlayer().setResourcePack( path ); }

[young knoll]

Yes but it doesn’t take a path

It takes a web url

[tiny tangle]

ouch

[chrome beacon]

Right I forgot to tell you but Javalin and Spring uses 2 different Jetty versions shading both could have unexpected consequences

[blazing ocean]

😭

[chrome beacon]

I disabled Javalin when testing

So it could be that

[blazing ocean]

did you do any other changes?

[chrome beacon]

Yeah I also forced web servlet mode in the application builder*

That wasn't needed in my code but it appears to be in yours

[blazing ocean]

oh where

I mean the bean gets called

[chrome beacon]

hm it's not starting anymore

:C

[blazing ocean]

damn

[chrome beacon]

There we go

Not shading Spring fixed it

Will renable javalin and see if it breaks again

That does break it due to duplicate dependencies

Oh yeah I remember the shading issue now 🤦‍♂️

I had this issue before

It's because a few of the dependencies ship their own properties files that spring will automatically detect and try to load

and since a couple of them ship the same file it breaks

[tiny tangle]

on my custom item.java : public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) { try { // Using a local pack provider PackProvider provider = PackProvider.create((JavaPlugin) getPlugin(), "localhost"); provider.setDebugLogging(true); provider.addPack(new File(getDataFolder(), "test.zip").toPath()).setSendOnJoin(true); } catch (PackProviderException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } after this where do I put the test.zip/rar , since im using like src/main/java/customitem/item.java .

[eternal night]

Semi certain this should not be done on player join
