correct

[chrome beacon]

https://github.com/Olivoz/inject/tree/feat/spring-javalin-jetty

[blazing ocean]

maybe relocate somehow

[chrome beacon]

You really don't want to shade Spring anyways

It will make the plugin 25MB

[blazing ocean]

hehe-

[eternal night]

fucking spring

[blazing ocean]

I've had bigger

[tiny tangle]

ItemMeta meta = customItem.getItemMeta();? this is the easy way?

[blazing ocean]

y-yes

it is the only way in fact

[torn shuttle]

that sounds like a challenge

[tiny tangle]

okay, omg

[blazing ocean]

Bukkit.createItemMeta exists I guess

[torn shuttle]

smh

lying to new devs

for shame rad

[blazing ocean]

i love our map manager's commit messages

is this the right path src/main/java/assets/minecraft/models/item ? , this is part of my gradle : ```

[blazing ocean]

no

resource packs are not in your plugins source code

(if you are making it manually)

[tiny tangle]

oh, ahh, does it need to place on the main folder right ?

[blazing ocean]

no

it is completely seperate

[tiny tangle]

does it this directory file needs to be on the server folder?

[river oracle]

the answer to all of your questions and more is my favorite word "depends"

[tiny tangle]

haha, im looking a guide how to make the custom item as rad said to use the customItem.getItemMeta();, but cannot find any answers to where do i put the resourcepack.rar/zip or the directory folder

to be server side

[river oracle]

you have to make the resource pack and then ship it with either a service like dropbox or make your own

there is no "server side" file structure for a resource pack

[tiny tangle]

oh

but if I upload the resourcepack to a dropbox, then i need to use the @EventHandler public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event){ event.getPlayer().setResourcePack( path ); } ?

alongside with the customItem.getItemMeta()

but this make me confuse

[river oracle]

you shouldn't be starting up and dealing with ports every time a player joins

you should provide a constant service

I think you're in far above your head for your current knowledge

setResourcePack doesn't take a path https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#setResourcePack(java.lang.String,byte[])

its a URL and a hash

[tiny tangle]

oh, if i understood to manage the constant service does it need to be localhost with a port of the server , right?

[river oracle]

from the contex tI'm seeing that random code you pasted isn't even a real thing

I don't really think you have any clue what you're doing and maybe you should slow down take a step back and try and understand how things work

[tiny tangle]

yeah, im just want to try to "attempt" imitate the serverside backpack , to get to know how to do custom item

i didnt though it could be that complex

[marsh hawk]

Is there any way of stopping the player rotation, without the "teleport back" effect, and still have the server be able to read movement inputs (so no spectator)?

[chrome beacon]

Fun thing the client keeps sending movement while spectating

[blazing ocean]

yeah ^

[chrome beacon]

You'll just need a packet listener

[blazing ocean]

the server just kinda ignores them

[eternal night]

PlayerInputEvent vibes

[blazing ocean]

thing is, this is great for my interaction shit

[chrome beacon]

Yeah that's how the world GUIs are made

[marsh hawk]

Wait, so I could spectate a mob and also know if the player is attempting to move?

[chrome beacon]

yes

[marsh hawk]

Could you perhaps hint me towards some resources that are helpful to learn more about that?

[remote swallow]

wait a minute

[echo basalt]

2 rads

[remote swallow]

@blazing ocean wtf?!

[chrome beacon]

Don't really have any

[marsh hawk]

Then, would you perhaps mind explaining the method?

[chrome beacon]

You just listen to the packet that the client sends using ProtocolLib or PacketEvents

[blazing ocean]

this is confusing

packetevents >>>

[marsh hawk]

On that note, is the protocollib wiki down by any chance?

[chrome beacon]

You mean wiki.v.g

.vg*

[marsh hawk]

yeah

[blazing ocean]

it's merged into the mc wiki

[river oracle]

wiki.vg is down forever

its in the mc wiki now

[marsh hawk]

I cannot find the mc wiki version by googling, is it hidden?

[river oracle]

probably not hit good seo yet

[blazing ocean]

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

[marsh hawk]

Thank you c:

[marsh hawk]

PacketType.Play.Client.POSITION is what Im listening to. Test messages get printed when moving around, but not when spectating a mob. Did you mean another packet?

[chrome beacon]

I'm not exactly sure which one it sends

but I know it's one of them

[river oracle]

It'd probably be Player Input packet no?

idk what protocol lib calls it

[marsh hawk]

Are you refering to WASD detection, or when the mob that is being spectated moves?

[marsh hawk]

Theres a packet for that?

[river oracle]

WASD detection

yes PlayerInputPacket should detect WASD presses

I'm not familiar with protocol lib so i can't help you figure out what they call it

[marsh hawk]

I found the packet on the wiki, but can't seem to find it in the api

[river oracle]

idk if protocol lib even wraps everything

so

[marsh hawk]

:c

[sly topaz]

protocollib should have the packet

https://github.com/dmulloy2/ProtocolLib/commit/7a85663ded132ba3376f75676906040f396c845e#diff-4d4badf0430739622e7892f144de555c1a56eb5bd7b01b64da9a496f84ed4551R472

[blazing ocean]

packetevents >>>

[sly topaz]

why is the player input packet called steervehicle

[echo basalt]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/Input.html

[sly topaz]

they both have the same problem

they take the packet names out of their ass

[river oracle]

spigot has no event

this is pretty much useless tbh

[echo basalt]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInputEvent.html

[river oracle]

wtf this must be new

[chrome beacon]

It's pretty new yes

[sly topaz]

there's also Player#getCurrentInput

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/bukkit/commits/553558256cab26217919a0809cc26f7aad22995d eh, been there for a while now

[marsh hawk]

Which version is this? I can't seem to find it.

I just saw the 1.21.4, mb

[sullen marlin]

It's in 1.21.3 too

Packet didn't exist before then

[echo basalt]

a vine boom just played in my head

[marsh hawk]

This is exactly what I was looking for, incredible 💚

[ocean hollow]

Hello everyone, please help me. I saw a script on Denizen, where using text displays, spectator mode, and mount the player could spin around, but at the same time his camera was blocked.

how do I do this?

Does anyone know if spectating without spectator mode is possible? Packets seem to also force you to be in spectator if you want to spectate an entity. Trying to get rid of the spectator hotbar, but it seems like there is no way around it 😔 .

[young knoll]

Rad said they just sent a gamemode change packet

Does that work

[echo basalt]

nuke it with a resourcepack

[young knoll]

.

[marsh hawk]

That doesn't really work, since the "items" still are there, overwriting the actual hotbar items I would want.

[echo basalt]

hm

[marsh hawk]

I could try

[echo basalt]

oh shit you actually make a crankshaft this is tough

watching a build video this entire set is built with those circular studs

and it's hella complex it'll take me like 5 hours fs

[cedar saffron]

Lock in and it takes 1

[marsh hawk]

Do you mean packet to make it seem like they are in e.g survival, while server side they are actually spectator (with the ability to spectate entities)?

[young knoll]

Other way around I think

[marsh hawk]

    PacketContainer packet = protocolManager.createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.GAME_STATE_CHANGE);
    packet.getGameStateIDs().write(0, 1);
    protocolManager.sendServerPacket(p, packet);

This is the only packet I found for gamemodes. There is also a:

    packet.getGameModes().write(0, EnumWrappers.NativeGameMode.ADVENTURE);

But I cant find a packet for this, since this one gives me write errors. And since the previous one is not giving me a write error, I'm assuming the structure is not wrong? In both cases, I'm still seing the spectator hotbar, so I'm probably misinterpreting something?

[marsh hawk]

After checking a bit more, I realized the Game State Change has nothing to do with gamemodes, not sure how I missed that part. Then Im wondering what the actual packet is.

[worldly ingot]

It's game state change you're looking for. Specifically (in 1.21.4) it's packet id 0x22, key minecraft:game_event. I believe game state ids (id 3) is correct in combination with integers

Actually technically it's a float in the packet

[marsh hawk]

I found online that game state change is apparently for some kind of "demo event" though?

[worldly ingot]

It can be used for that

[young knoll]

It does everything!

[worldly ingot]

PacketContainer packet = protocolManager.createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.GAME_STATE_CHANGE);
packet.getGameStateIDs().write(0, 3); // 3 = gamemode change
packet.getFloat().write(0, 3); // 3 = spectator mode

[young knoll]

The magic packet

[worldly ingot]

That would be a game mode change

[young knoll]

Wha

Why is the game mode a float

[worldly ingot]

Because a float could be used for something else

[young knoll]

Isn’t that the point of the first id

[worldly ingot]

    private final PacketPlayOutGameStateChange.a event;
    private final float param;

It's defined as a float though

[young knoll]

To identify what the rest of the packet contains

[worldly ingot]

Well yeah but all of them just send an event and a value

[young knoll]

Wacky

[worldly ingot]

    public static final PacketPlayOutGameStateChange.a NO_RESPAWN_BLOCK_AVAILABLE = new PacketPlayOutGameStateChange.a(0);

Listen man, I just work here

[remote swallow]

hold up

[worldly ingot]

(but you'll see demo is in there too, it's just event id 5)

[young knoll]

So this is Mojangs “uhh wtf do we use for this” packet

[worldly ingot]

lol yeah basically

[remote swallow]

choco works there?!?

[marsh hawk]

So it kind of works, I think? It looks like Im being put into the mode, but my hotbar completely disappears now. Is that a side effect perhaps?

[worldly ingot]

Well, yeah, if you're being put into spectator mode

You have no hotbar lol

[marsh hawk]

Ig thats true

[sharp bough]

is it possible to run client side simulation on spigot nms 1.16+-1.20+? i.e. given entity E move it until XYZ location, with a single packet

• set velocity wouldnt work for me as (from what i tested) it requires gravity and i need a straight line
• multiple SET_POSITION or TELEPORT_ENTITY wouldnt work as i have a rather high expected volume of entities
• REL_ENTITY_MOVE applies the movement distance in a single tick and i require longer distances (quote: "This packet allows at most 8 blocks movement in any direction, because short range is from -32768 to 32767. And 32768 / (128 * 32) = 8.")
• custom nms entities (from what i understood) would be too expensive for my use case, since they would spawn server side? im not entierly sure

all entities are armor stands. any crazy ideas are welcome, thanks

[young knoll]

Well display entities can do movement interpolation

But those are 1.19.4+

[sharp bough]

yea i saw those, i might have to go with that if i cant find an optimal solution for this
i would reeeally like to support 1.16+ tho 😭

[sly topaz]

there is no way about it other than the set position packet given your requirements

how many entities are you moving? Is it really a no-go?

[hybrid spoke]

dropping 1.16 is an optimal solution

[sharp bough]

given an estimate in the worst possible scenario with 100 active players, its like 500k packets per second

[sharp bough]

sad

thank you everyone

[sly topaz]

I mean, that doesn't really matter

you can off-load the packet processing if ultimately necessary so that it doesn't affect normal gameplay, would just require some tinkering

my question was more towards as to why you need to do it, what are you doing with this?

[ebon topaz]

how would i go about making a command to not allow oped people to teleport to me?

[proud badge]

use events

playerteleportevent

then cancel it

[ebon topaz]

so i looked at this event and i can see i can get the cause which would be command and the location its teleporting to but can i check who its teleporting to?

[proud badge]

prolly not
Best way to do it is to probably check all players within a like 5 block radius and see if it contains the player

[short pilot]

what are some of the most taxing functiosn in the API in terms of memory

and also big O i guess

i assume some big search ones like block related stuff

[proud badge]

InventoryHolder ive heard (in spigot)

getOfflinePlayer too from personal experience

[short pilot]

yikes

UUID kingdomUUID = resultSet.getString("kingdom") != null ?
                        UUID.fromString(resultSet.getString("kingdom")) : null;

For cases like these, what would be a better approach for an "invalid" UUID, ie something that remains constant to indicate

Kinda like how -1 is reserved a lot for special cases

or is setting it to null fine

public static final UUID INVALID_UUID = new UUID(0L, 0L);

maybe something like this?

[remote swallow]

id normally assume valid uuid inside a db, if a end user modifies it its on them to resolve the error

[short pilot]

is it best practice to make specific util classes; i started doing that to keep things organized

like this

oh shoot it's 12 am what the

[shadow night]

I do that sometimes, don't really see anything bad about it

[short pilot]

    private static ChunkCoordinate getPlayerCurrentChunk(Player player) {
        Location playerLocation = player.getLocation();
        int x = playerLocation.getBlockX() >> 4;
        int z = playerLocation.getBlockZ() >> 4;
        UUID worldID = playerLocation.getWorld().getUID();
        return new ChunkCoordinate(x, z, worldID);
    }

this is redundant but i did a little function to mathematically get the chunk from coords lol

[sly topaz]

why would you do it that way

and not just player.getLocation().getChunk()

which apparently does just that:

[hybrid spoke]

depends whats in it

if you just put everything in there, its definitely not best pratice, but at best static abuse

[glad prawn]

Utils

[hybrid spoke]

yeah sure, in my databaseutil i have all my database properties, all my database statements, connection utils, just.. a bit of database stuff

[sterile breach]

Hi what is the best way to seralize an inventory? Converting an Itemstack array with gson?

[sly topaz]

serialize it into bytes

[wraith delta]

Is there a steal item from item frame event i can cancel?

PlayerInteractEvent cancel doesnt work for it, only prevents destroying the frame

[sterile breach]

Should I seralize the array of Itemstack directly in array of bytes ? Can I deserialize it in another server ?

[sly topaz]

you'd first serialize the itemstack into bytes and only then the array

and yes

you could use something like this to serialize the items:
https://github.com/Jishuna/JishLib/blob/4.0/nms/v1_21_R3/src/main/java/me/jishuna/jishlib/nms/v1_21_R3/NMSAdapter.java#L140-L153

then something like this to serialize the inventory/contents as a whole

[proper radish]

Is the following cache structure and design efficient for storing generator data?

I am implementing a system in my minigame plugin where generators have properties based on different difficulties, types, and levels.
The structure is stored in a .YAML file and cached for faster access. I want to store the generator data in a cache for quick retrieval,
ensuring the getter method returns the generator with its relevant properties based on difficulty, type, and level.

**here is the design **

difficulties:
  easy:
    types:
      iron:
        levels:
          1:
            spawnInterval: 3
            maxItemsStack: 30
            imagePath: "iron-map-1.png"
            upgrade:
              item: IRON_INGOT
              cost: 48

here is my class ( Generator Object )

public class Generator {

    private GenProp properties;
    private Location genLoc;
    private Location picLoc;

    public class GenProp extends Generator {

        private GenType type;
        private int level;
        private int maxLevel;
        private double spawnInterval;
        private int maxStack;

        private boolean levelUp () 
        { 
            if (level >= maxLevel) return false;
            level++;
            // TODO: implement the item-frame changes.
            return true;
        }
    }

and here is my cache & getter method

    private static final Cache<GameDif, Map<GenType, Map<Integer, Generator.GenProp>>> cache = Caffeine.newBuilder().build();

    public static Generator get (GameDif difficulty , GenType type, int level) {
        // No Null Checks
        var types = cache.getIfPresent(difficulty);
        var lvl = types.get(type);
        var props = lvl.get(level);

        var gen = new Generator();
        gen.setProperties(props);

        return gen;

    }

[ivory sleet]

Why do you need a caffeine cache?

feels like a normal HashMap would do the trick

It all looks fine tho, but maybe try to name ur type rather than a nested Map type ^^

and yea the yml seems fine, normal orming in principle

[quaint mantle]

YAMLs are cached already

[ivory sleet]

yes but accessing a field directly is a bit faster

and free compile time type safety

[short pilot]

public class CustomWitherSkeleton extends WitherSkeleton {

    public CustomWitherSkeleton(Level world) {
        super(EntityType.WITHER_SKELETON, world);
        this.collides = false;
        this.expToDrop = 0;
        
        this.setInvulnerable(true);
        this.setCanPickUpLoot(false);
        this.setAggressive(false);
        this.setCustomNameVisible(true);
    }

}

made a custom mob but it still attacks people, any help?

i thought setAggressive gets rid of that

[blazing ocean]

don't implement the bukkit api

oh that's NMS

[smoky anchor]

You'd have to override the AI - Goals

[short pilot]

after adding

        this.goalSelector = new GoalSelector(world.getProfilerSupplier());
        this.targetSelector = new GoalSelector(world.getProfilerSupplier());

beforehand, it works

now...

how can i make it attack say

cows or something

and can each custom mob have their own instance variables? Like a spawn X Y Z to teleport back to

        this.targetSelector.addGoal(1, new NearestAttackableTargetGoal<>(this, Cow.class, true));

i tried using targetSelector but it just stood and did nothing ;-;

is it the setAggressive that is interfering, or is there more at hand?

[blazing ocean]

welp, check how vanilla does it

[short pilot]

;-;

is this actually how minecraft devs do it?

[blazing ocean]

yes

[short pilot]

dang i thought it was the api or plugin dev

[blazing ocean]

most people here don't know every little thing about nms lol

[blazing ocean]

well you are not using the API

[short pilot]

explain explain

[blazing ocean]

you are using NMS

[ivory sleet]

Target does nothing by itself ofc

it just finds a target given the goals u added

[short pilot]

i got it workin

i added goals

it works on attacking cow mobs and nothing else, but upon serer restart it seems to reset the NPC AI

[smoky berry]

Hey, I'm currently working on an UHC Marvel plugin in 1.8 but there are some things I'm not good enough to work on it so I'm searching if some people are willing to help ^^'

[ivory sleet]

yea, tho usually u wna have target selector filled with goas that don’t occupy the other goal flags

and then the goal selector with physical goals that make the entity do sth

Altho GoalSelector is kind of outdated nowadays but yea

[short pilot]

what do you mean by that specifically?

how can i save in between instances of server; keep the custom mob persistent?

[smoky anchor]

You can probably check how Endermen target Endermites, take inspiration from there.

Now, I don't know the "standart" way of doing custom mobs.
But my approach would be: give your custom mob some PDC value as identifier (also store all your custom variables per mob in that PDC)
Now check each entity in some entity load event, if it has that specific PDC identifier, copy the PDC, kill that mob and paste the PDC.

[proper radish]

bcos i already have maps using caffeine for like Users / Profiles and some stuff, and why not

[ivory sleet]

Well its goofy because u’re enforcing extra thread safety, and memory safety when its not needed

slow that is

[frail pilot]

Basically, you are using DataItem where you should use DataValue

[chrome beacon]

A for loop would be the easiest solution

Not super efficient but that might or might not matter

[ebon topaz]

damn i thought there might of been a cool way of doing instead of a for loop

[chrome beacon]

There are better ways

but usually not worth the effort

I assume your list is quite small

[ebon topaz]

yeah, most likely only 2 or 3 strings

[sharp bough]

i want to give you a big kiss thank you

[marsh hawk]

Out of curiosity, is this even possible without spectator? I'd be interested in knowing if there is a way to work with the player yaw/pitch, while "resetting" and having it appear as locked. PlayerMoveEvent would be the closest thing, with the issue being that whenever you reset, it "teleports" back the camera instead of keeping it completely still like spectator.

[glad prawn]

Just use for loop and check with String#contains, you need to make it work, don't try to make it look pretty.

[short pilot]

how do you save custom npc behavior across server restarts?

[smoky anchor]

Did my answer not help ?

[short pilot]

im not sure oop it's 9 aam and im a lil tired haha

all nighter during dead week

[glossy laurel]

is it guaranteed that when a player joins and I save their Player object it will be the same one as the one I can get when they leave the server?

[short pilot]

i tought ur answer was about Goals actually

[glossy laurel]

basically, can the Player object assigned to a player change without them rejoining the server

[pseudo hazel]

no

iirc when players die they also get a new player object probably

thats why you use uuids

[glossy laurel]

uh-huh

[pliant topaz]

also on dimension switch afaik because they get respawnef

[blazing ocean]

@glossy laurel no, don't store references to players

[glossy laurel]

yeah thats what I got

im switching rn

[blazing ocean]

you can get some memory leaks if you don't do your shit properly with that

[glossy laurel]

dang

[young void]

is it possible to make your plugins decompilable?

[glossy laurel]

what even 💀

[blazing ocean]

every java app is decompilable

[young void]

is it possible to make it more challenging to do so??
im in a situation which i dont want people to decompile it

[blazing ocean]

why

[pseudo hazel]

there is no good reason

[blazing ocean]

your plugins code is not that advanced that you need to obfuscate it

[pseudo hazel]

if it was you wouldnt be asking this

[blazing ocean]

exactly

[young void]

im feeling they are gonna cut me off halfway and give it to another developer. i dont want the developer to write on my code. i dont want that to happen. simple as that.

[blazing ocean]

what

[young void]

yeah its not that advanced code

[blazing ocean]

then license it

well

[pseudo hazel]

what do you even mean

[blazing ocean]

you don't have much choice there

[glossy laurel]

obfuscate it ig

[pseudo hazel]

if you have that feeling, then dont do anything

no one wants to work on decompiled code anyways

[glossy laurel]

my whole system is built on player lists, am I cooked

[blazing ocean]

I had to work with decompiled kotlin code for hours

and trust me, it was bad

[pseudo hazel]

make those uuid lists

[blazing ocean]

yes

[blazing ocean]

^

[glossy laurel]

yeah ik

but ill have to cast them

ugh

[pseudo hazel]

what

[glossy laurel]

well

[blazing ocean]

you can't cast a uuid to a player lol

[glossy laurel]

not cast

yk

wim

[pseudo hazel]

right

you need to get the player object

too bad

[glossy laurel]

well, time to suffer for my bad coding practices

[pseudo hazel]

now you gotta write decent code

[glossy laurel]

😁 👍

[pseudo hazel]

tech debt coming in hot

[glossy laurel]

lol

alr chat

see you after 2 hours of suffering

toodles

[pseudo hazel]

if its only 2 hours you aint seen nothing yet

[blazing ocean]

fun Audience.forEachPlayer(block: (Player) -> Unit) {
    forEachAudience { audience ->
        Bukkit.getPlayer(audience.uuid())?.let(block)
    }
}

fun Audience.players() = buildList { forEachPlayer(::add) }
``` my entire system is built around audiences and their uuids where I'm never storing player references

you're gonna have to do a lotta Bukkit.getPlayer calls but it's much safer than storing player references

[echo basalt]

can't you implement an operator method

[blazing ocean]

what for

[echo basalt]

for (player in audience)

[blazing ocean]

in is just a contains operator function

and that only works for iterators

as far as I'm aware

audiences are not iterable

I don't see how the language could iterate over something just based off a contains function

But you're right, I could implement the contains operator function

I did make mapTeams, mapTeamsIndexed, forEachTeam, forEachEventPlayer, etc.

[young void]

why do you guys always assume the worst case scenario
like i ask the most mundane thing and you guys think im gonna start a genocide with it or something😂

but yeah obfuscation was what i was looking for

[glossy laurel]

average day of code nester

[blazing ocean]

there is no reason to obfuscate plugins

[young void]

ummmm i dont think its supposed to get like that

[quaint mantle]

Guys I want make my home plugin proprietary

[glossy laurel]

you say

[young void]

like how?

[young void]

how do you even manage it to get it like that 😂

what are FIR trees

and command builders too

💀

[blazing ocean]

the kotlin compiler's frontend's immediate representation of source code segments, which get parsed into its backend's immediate representation

[glossy laurel]

Im copiling the begginer the simple plugin server possible but my the spigot server are not loading it idk why

what I should send here to provide engough information?

[chrome beacon]

Should be an error in your console

[vapid breach]

minecraft console?

its compiling...

[chrome beacon]

You said your spigot server was not loading it

So I assumed you had a jar to run

[vapid breach]

Cannot find main class `org.example.TutorialPlugin.TutorialPlugin'

I found the error

[chrome beacon]

So you already did compile it

[vapid breach]

yes

[chrome beacon]

Well there you go

[vapid breach]

how to fix? lol

Wrong package

org.example.TutorialPlugin.TutorialPlugin should org.example.TutorialPlugin

in your plugin.yml

alternatively move the class in to the org.example.TutorialPlugin package

(though fix the name to fit conventions (lowercase))

[vapid breach]

my package are only org.example

[low marlin]

anyone that has a good tutorial of making a custom npc in 1.21?

[chrome beacon]

Do yourself a favour and use Citizens

There's no need to reinvent the wheel for the 100th time

[low marlin]

I would love to suffer

[chrome beacon]

Then don't look for a tutorial

[low marlin]

legit

[chrome beacon]

How to create NPCs hasn't really changed in quite a bit

The guide that everyone keeps copy pasting should work if you tweak it to use proper mappings

[low marlin]

should I use the mojang mapping version?

[chrome beacon]

Yes

or if you want to suffer you can skip that

[low marlin]

nah not that level of suffering xd

[blazing ocean]

that's a very different kind of suffering

[chrome beacon]

Might need a packet sink to void the packets the server tries to send

[blazing ocean]

use yarn

[blazing ocean]

You need a dummy connection impl, correct

[chrome beacon]

Yeah I just don't remember if the tutorial shows how or not

but since it's a common issue I assume not

[blazing ocean]

.

[low marlin]

The thing is this part doesn't exist in 1.21

[blazing ocean]

it's in add entity now

yeah I see

how to find memory leak :3

[blazing ocean]

look at memory graphs

what are memory graphs

fr

[quaint mantle]

System.out.println("The memory is leaking");

[glossy laurel]

fr

[sullen marlin]

someone should write a plugin that does this

task timer every 5 ticks

[chrome beacon]

That's already been done sadly

do the spigot way, rewrite it but better and with hookers and blow

does anyone have plugins which make use of PDC extensively

like, creating custom data types and the like

I am in the process of making a library to automate PDT creation but I'd like to see more real world usage of it to have a clear picture on how to go about it

[young knoll]

You could look at MorePDC

?morepdc

[undone axle]

You can create custom persistent data types on your own, or use one of the many libraries available which have implemented those which match your needs.

Bot is slow today

[dense cairn]

sorry if im butting in, but in a plugin i just rewrote a chunk of, i have a PlayerDeathEvent that fires.
I wanted to establish that Player p = event.getEntity() and Player k = p.getKiller() are the same.
so i tried to use p.getUniqueId().equals(k.getUniqueId()), and in all cases that condition would always be false.
if i use the player name string p.getName().equals(k.getName()) however, it works correctly. was there something i missed in the first attempt? or is getUniqueId not as persistent as it suggests?

[remote swallow]

the aussie internet isnt happy

[sly topaz]

doesn't make sense, did you make sure to isolate the if statement to see if that was actually the case?

that said, is there any reason you aren't just doing instance equality?

[dense cairn]

ill have a prod if you like as for the second question not really a specific reason lol

just wanted to get something working first

[sly topaz]

well, UUID equality should just work honestly, which leads me to believe the issue was somewhere else so who knows

if you can reproduce it consistently, then do mention it, maybe there's some bug in there

[dense cairn]

oh nope it mustve been my own silliness haha

wonder what i managed to do now in the first place

[sweet pike]

is there any technique whatsoever to prevent players from colliding with each other when they are both on boats, while keeping the players visible to teach other?

[young knoll]

Do boats work with scoreboard team collision rules?

[pliant topaz]

theres an VehicleEntityCollisionEvent

[pliant topaz]

probably not as it's a seperate entity

[young knoll]

Separate entity to what

[pliant topaz]

ah wait, i think i misunderstood

do you mean adding the boat to the team too?

[young knoll]

Yeah

[pliant topaz]

hmm

just checked, seems like that only works for LivingEntity

[young knoll]

Ah, darn

[sweet pike]

theres a video here that showcases some sort of solution (at the timestamp) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt_9fghRqZk&t=853s

but somewhere in the readme it states this

[young knoll]

Yeah I saw a bit of that

Boats are janky

Which is a shame because boat racing is cool

[sacred cedar]

hey, i was wondering on how to add custom permissions to my plugin
is it like normal plugins where i would add them to the spigot.yml but inside a bungeecord plugin just in bungee.yml
or do i need to do it in another way
with commands it works great but how do i add like custom permissions to my plugin?

[chrome beacon]

You can add them to your plugin.yml

[sacred cedar]

tried that already for bungeecord and this didn't work

[chrome beacon]

I assumed you were making a Spigot plugin

[sacred cedar]

nope a bungeecord plugin but thanks for your try to help :)

[chrome beacon]

Can't really find a place to register them

But you could just try using them without doing so

[chrome beacon]

*Other than the command constructor

[sacred cedar]

yea i know that

[sacred cedar]

this would work i guess but then the giving the perms to players would be a big mess

[grizzled bridge]

boat racing is actually so much fun, i wish mojang made it less jank

anyone familiar with ACF?

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

[quaint mantle]

how do u make command arguments using ACF?

I read the github wiki a bit and cooked up this ```java
@CommandAlias("party|p")
public class PartyCommand extends BaseCommand {

@Subcommand("invite")
public void onInvite(Player player) {
    System.out.println(player.getName());
}

}

player seems to be the sender..I thought it would make it an argument

[sharp bough]

just an example from one of my projects

    @Subcommand("of")
    @Syntax("<target>")
    @CommandCompletion("@players")
    @CommandPermission("crates.keys.other")
    public void onKeys(Player sender, @Single @Flags("other") OfflinePlayer target) {
        PlayerKeysData.showTo(sender, target);
    }

[quaint mantle]

ah

slight confusing.

[sharp bough]

the first argument is always the sender

[quaint mantle]

oh

[sharp bough]

there

[blazing ocean]

I don't like annotation based command frameworks tbh

I prefer cloud's builders

[quaint mantle]

I didn't understand cloud really well...

nice

    @Subcommand("invite")
    @Syntax("<target>")
    @CommandCompletion("@players")
    public void onInvite(Player player, @Single Player target) {
        System.out.println(player.getName());
    }```

[sharp bough]

howw

ACF is golden

[quaint mantle]

are you able to disable pluginname:command?

[blazing ocean]

nope

[quaint mantle]

D:

[blazing ocean]

bukkit thing

[mortal vortex]

Can't disable, but you can hide it, nah?

[blazing ocean]

don't believe so

[quaint mantle]

I remember disabling it but idk how

[blazing ocean]

sorry but I like this: https://paste.md-5.net/regudexefo.bash

[mortal vortex]

"ctx" eww this isnt a discord bot

[blazing ocean]

fym

[quaint mantle]

No 🧢 I hate builder format

[blazing ocean]

I'm not typing out context nor am I using c

[quaint mantle]

this just looks nice and neat

[blazing ocean]

same way I use idx instead if index and i most of the time

[mortal vortex]

Yeah icl Annotations are sexier

builder... so much nesting

[quaint mantle]

erm why is the target..sender?

[sly topaz]

it's mostly the case of it being a tree-like structure

[sharp bough]

                handler { ctx ->
                    val type = ctx.get<GameType<*>>("type")
                    val participants = ctx.get<MultiplePlayerSelector>("participants").values().audience()

is that from clouds'builder? is that even java

or kotlin

[sly topaz]

though I believe CommandAPI does a decent job at offering a builder-like approach

[quaint mantle]

kt

[blazing ocean]

kotlin and yes

[sly topaz]

annotations do look nice, but it ends up being annoying at times, mostly when it comes to completions

[quaint mantle]

why does it set target to the sender?

[sly topaz]

what target

[quaint mantle]

the 2nd arg

[quaint mantle]

.

[sly topaz]

yeah, for simple commands that works

[sharp bough]

imo one of the strong points on ACF is its sub class design that allows to make a subclass as a subcommand of a base command

[blazing ocean]

why am I still doing the selector thing manually I made a lil extension for that smh ```kt
fun CommandContext<CommandSender>.getPlayers(arg: String) = get<MultiplePlayerSelector>(arg).values().toList()

[sharp bough]

idk if you can do that with clouds builder

[sly topaz]

you can do that with cloud

[quaint mantle]

no..my question is

why is it setting the value of target to sender

[sharp bough]

i.e.

[sly topaz]

nowhere in that code the sender is referenced

just the argument

[sharp bough]

also self made help command, default and catch unkonwn are useful

[blazing ocean]

cloud has help too

[sly topaz]

I believe both CommandAPI and cloud offer that kind of workflow

[sharp bough]

really

[blazing ocean]

• with cloud you don't need to do argument parsing yourself

[sharp bough]

then i have to check them out

im outdated 💀

[sly topaz]

there isn't much difference in terms of features between these, rather just design choices that one might prefer over another

[blazing ocean]

that's something I've always hated about ACF (or I was just not using it properly?)

[sly topaz]

I mean, ACF is a perfectly fine choice

[sharp bough]

what was the command to reverify here? i changed my username but i have the old one here

[quaint mantle]

erm can someone explain me how command args work with ACF..

[blazing ocean]

ping @vagrant stratus (idk if he has perms to change usernames here)

[sharp bough]

first arg is command sender

all the rest are arguments in the command

[sharp bough]

this casts second argument to an online player based on name

[quaint mantle]

yes but I just put random word in it and it still for some reason prints my name

[sly topaz]

it probably just fills in with the sender if no argument is valid, there's probably an annotation to make it not do that

I assume it is using the getPlayer method that matches the closest thing

[sharp bough]

you need to add @Flags("other")

[blazing ocean]

yup that's also one of the reasons I chose to move away from ACF

[sharp bough]

i think thats an ACF bug

[sly topaz]

I'd say that's rather unintuitive but not something I'd really mind honestly

just a gotcha

back when I cared to use command frameworks, I prefered CommandAPI or ACF because they were simpler

cloud is just too big and I can't make sense of it

[blazing ocean]

I like cloud

[sly topaz]

I don't dislike cloud, I just can't understand it properly, and I couldn't be bothered to push my way through its intricacies when other perfectly fine choices exist as well

[blazing ocean]

I made a few extension functions and systems around it and I find it really enjoyable to work with

[quaint mantle]

erm

[sly topaz]

is unjoinable your name

[quaint mantle]

    @Subcommand("invite")
    @Syntax("<target>")
    @CommandCompletion("@players")
    public void onInvite(Player sender, @Flags("other") @Single Player target) {
        System.out.println(target.getName());
    }```
i did add @Flags("other")

yes

[blazing ocean]

this is what I meant with argument parsing in ACF

cloud handles all that

[quaint mantle]

chat

the problem is not what is better.

[sharp bough]

do OfflinePlayer

[sly topaz]

offline player would mean anything would match

[sharp bough]

its not finding the name so its defaulting to the one that was found

that i dont understand about acf

[quaint mantle]

i will have to go in ACF discord ig.

[blazing ocean]

I like this one I made ```kt
inline fun <reified T : Any> MutableCommandBuilder<CommandSender>.registryArg(id: String, registry: Registry<T>) {
required(id, RegistryEntryParser.registryEntryParser(registry))
}

[sharp bough]

kt 😭

[blazing ocean]

I LOVE KOTLIN

[sharp bough]

is it really that good

[quaint mantle]

yeh no

[blazing ocean]

yessssss

[sharp bough]

iv been using java for 3+ years and it feels like an affair to use kt

[sly topaz]

did you try marking it as nullable or something

[quaint mantle]

no.

OfflinePlayer worked but

[sly topaz]

what about just making it @Optional

[quaint mantle]

its not optional tho

[sharp bough]

another way (uglier) is making target String and checking yourself for online players, keep the autocompletion

[sly topaz]

does it do that with anything you input to it? Even numbers?

[quaint mantle]

ye it shows error

[blazing ocean]

https://paste.md-5.net/agesisecur.sql 😍

[sly topaz]

what error

[quaint mantle]

like in-game chat msg

about invalid argument

[sly topaz]

isn't that what you want?

[sharp bough]

databaseTransaction {
is that a function or a custom keyword?

[sly topaz]

a function

[quaint mantle]

yea but would OfflinePlayers add all the players who have played?

[sly topaz]

any function that has a closure parameter at the end can be used as well, a closure

[blazing ocean]

a function with a trailing lambda, yes

and of course: ```kt
object EventTeamPlayers : Table("event_team_players") {
val uuid = uuid("uuid")
val teamId = varchar("team_id", EventTeamMetas.LONGEST_ID)
}

[sly topaz]

I've always got mixed feelings about trailing lambdas

they allow for nice DSLs if anything

[sharp bough]

this@EventT 😵‍💫

[blazing ocean]

yeah this would be the Transaction because the databaseTransaction lambda puts the transaction in this scope

[sharp bough]

😯

[quaint mantle]

where is the Table class from?

[blazing ocean]

exposed

[sly topaz]

exposed I assume

took me a second to remember the name lol

[blazing ocean]

databaseTransaction({
    // ...
})

feels weird

feels java-ish

[quaint mantle]

corroutines in kotlin are useful in plugins?

[blazing ocean]

they definitely are, provided you're using something like mccoroutine

[sly topaz]

there are some libraries that take advantage of them

but alone, they are not

[blazing ocean]

I like them

[quaint mantle]

I want to learn them

[sly topaz]

mcc even supports minestom that's crazy

[sharp bough]

they just a fancier new Thread().run(callback) ?

[quaint mantle]

I just know the runBlocking, the launch and yield

[blazing ocean]

not really

they have a lot more features

[sly topaz]

more like Thread.ofVirtual().start(callback)

[sharp bough]

hm

[sly topaz]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zluKcazgkV4

this talk does a good job at explaining the differences

[blazing ocean]

KotlinConf talks are really nice

[sly topaz]

I prefer the devoxx talks, kotlinconf doesn't really explore much of the JVM itself

[nova notch]

this guy looks like elon musk

but like ai generated

[quaint mantle]

Fr

[summer scroll]

Is learning kotlin worth it? Been considering it.

[sharp bough]

read from here

[summer scroll]

The code that rad paste looks confusing as fuck lmao.

[dry hazel]

which is why you need to learn the language

to understand it

[old coral]

Hey, just started doing my own plugins.
Whats is the best way of finding out what methods do and how to use them?

Tried to search for Dokumentation but couldn't really find something

[kindred quest]

Hello, I am creating a Fireball plugin, and I have a 30-second cooldown for each use. However, I want to add a countdown timer on the material in the inventory to show the remaining time like a screen or smth I'm not sure how to explain the idea

how to do that?

[blazing ocean]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/HumanEntity.html#setCooldown(org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack,int)

[chrome beacon]

Or use the material version of that method if you want it for all of them

[kindred quest]

ty broski best eggwars friend ever

[kindred quest]

thanks

[chrome beacon]

[blazing ocean]

what does that even mean

[kindred quest]

me and @chrome beacon used to play eggwars like 7 years ago xd

[chrome beacon]

^^

[kindred quest]

on cubecraft server

[chrome beacon]

also has it really been 7 years 💀

https://tenor.com/view/aging-getting-old-gif-9803364

[kindred quest]

yea bro ..

we met in 2018

6-7

[quaint mantle]

Time flies

[young knoll]

I remember playing eggwars back then

Wonder if I ever rekt you nerds

[upper adder]

Does anybody know if the "update" folder usually works for plugins on velocity?

Maybe I'm wrong here...

[young knoll]

You should ask paper

[upper adder]

Does the ."../plugins/update" even usually work on Spigot?

[young knoll]

Yes

But the jar names need to match iirc

[upper adder]

Oh okay, it also works for Paper servers, but I wondered if it also works for their proxy. Does it work on BungeeCord or are plugins not supported on there at all?

[chrome beacon]

doubt 🔫

[upper adder]

Thank you very much for your help @young knoll !
I checked the file names, I understand that they have to match.

[young knoll]

Bungee does support plugins

Tho idk if it has the update folder

[upper adder]

Oh okay, I noticed that on paper I think I had to create an update folder manually.

[pseudo hazel]

egg wars was goated

[cunning solstice]

oh nmv

im stupid

[river oracle]

Yea yes you are

[blazing ocean]

yeah I mean you're softdepending on bungee

[cunning solstice]

nah

it won't work if i'll use depend

[blazing ocean]

Yeah because it isn't a plugin 💀

[cunning solstice]

but i use bungee api

🙂

[blazing ocean]

Okay?

that's been in spigot for a while now lol

and isn't a plugin

[cunning solstice]

oh ok

[young knoll]

Well, only the chat api is in spigot

[blazing ocean]

Yeah what else would you want to be using on spigot

[azure zealot]

softdepending on bungeecord makes no sense

what kind of bungeecord api do you use?

[cunning solstice]

https://javadoc.io/doc/net.md-5/bungeecord-api/latest

[azure zealot]

what classes of the api do you use

[cunning solstice]

server connect

i mean command

[azure zealot]

server command?

[cunning solstice]

ye

[azure zealot]

/server is not part of the api

[blazing ocean]

that's for bungee

that API

[azure zealot]

also it is bungeecord api

it is made for use with bungeecord plugins

not spigot plugins

[cunning solstice]

ummm actualy

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-nerd-glasses-uhm-aktually-glasses-gif-4161113894351475297

[young knoll]

Yeah that just won’t work

You use plugin messaging to communicate with bungee

?pmc

[undone axle]

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

[cunning solstice]

i added events

guh

[blazing ocean]

what

[azure zealot]

ehm

I dont understand what you‘re doing

[azure zealot]

Yes

It is bukkit api

[cunning solstice]

i like having 300 lines of code

death

[blazing ocean]

which will not work

[young knoll]

So you aren’t even using the bungee api

[azure zealot]

xd

[river oracle]

How does one manage...

[cunning solstice]

wdym

[blazing ocean]

???

"terminal commands on top"?

[cunning solstice]

i use terminal command handler a lot when using custom commands ok?

• this thing works

if u want i can demonstrate in vc

[blazing ocean]

wha-

[cunning solstice]

why i keep getting problems with on player join event

time to use skript if im bad

[azure zealot]

tf

[blazing ocean]

at this point I have no idea what the fuck you're saying

[azure zealot]

i dont get the context of terminal commands

[cunning solstice]

im trying to make event that when player joins it tps him to position

like in all lobbies

but i keep getting log errors

[azure zealot]

how do you get errors

show us the errors

[cunning solstice]

nty

i'd rather use skript instead of spigot

pain to understand

[azure zealot]

using the bukkit api will be much better

would not recommend to use skript

[cunning solstice]

why not?

fine if u say so

try to help me with this:

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        handleAdminPrivileges(player);
        teleportPlayerToLobbySpawn(player);
        player.sendMessage("§eLobby rules: Block breaking/placing disabled for non-admins.");
    }
    private void teleportPlayerToLobbySpawn(Player player) {
        if (lobbySpawn != null) {
            try {
                player.teleport(lobbySpawn);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                getLogger().log(Level.SEVERE, "Failed to teleport player to lobby spawn", e);
                player.sendMessage("§cTeleportation to lobby spawn failed.");
            }
        } else {
            getLogger().warning("Lobby spawn not configured. Skipping teleportation.");
        }
    }

    private void configureLobbySpawn() {
        World world = Bukkit.getWorld("world");
        if (world != null) {
            lobbySpawn = new Location(
                    world,
                    1.0,
                    14.0,
                    88.0,
                    180f,
                    0f 
            );
        } else {
            getLogger().severe("Could not find a valid world for lobby spawn.");
            lobbySpawn = null;
        }
    }

[sharp bough]

unnecessary layer of abstraction

[sharp bough]

problem?

thats just code

[cunning solstice]

leme restart server coz i deleted logs

[16:01:59 ERROR]: [HawkStudios-lobby] Could not find a valid world for lobby spawn.

[sharp bough]

not really that complicated
World world = Bukkit.getWorld("world");
world is null

either loading too quickly or "world" doesnt actually exist in your server

[cunning solstice]

waitasecond

[sharp bough]

i think Bukkit.getServer().getWorlds().get(0) returns the overworld

or Bukkit.getServer().getWorlds().getFirst()

[cunning solstice]

nope

[sharp bough]

System.out.println("Bukkit.getServer().getWorlds().getFirst() = " + Bukkit.getServer().getWorlds().getFirst());
Bukkit.getServer().getWorlds().getFirst() = CraftWorld{name=world}

it does..

[cunning solstice]

tbh my world name actually "lobby"

i changed and don't know why it doesn't work

[sharp bough]

error..?

[cunning solstice]

same thing

[sharp bough]

show code

[cunning solstice]

.

[sharp bough]

you did update this
World world = Bukkit.getWorld("world");
right?

[cunning solstice]

changed world name with lobby

[cunning solstice]

correct

"World world = Bukkit.getWorld("lobby");"

[sharp bough]

run this System.out.println("Bukkit.getServer().getWorlds() = " + Bukkit.getServer().getWorlds()); and show the output

[cunning solstice]

:/

u mean in server terminal or plugin?

[sonic goblet]

For loop over all Bukkit.getServer().getWorlds() and output their name

He means plugin

[sharp bough]

toString should show that

[cunning solstice]

how?

[sharp bough]

in plugin

[sharp bough]

do you know how to make a for loop?

[cunning solstice]

no

im bad with terminal

xd

[cunning solstice]

i use intelij bro

[cunning solstice]

.

[sullen canyon]

yes, bitcoin?

[cunning solstice]

skull~2

[sharp bough]

lmfao

andri, first learn java, then learn bukkit and come back

[cunning solstice]

ik java enough

[sharp bough]

theres like a billion yt tutorial videos

watch a few

[sharp bough]

clearly you dont

[cunning solstice]

online classes moment

i mean i took online classes at summer

so i forgot how to do some things

[sharp bough]

call 911

you got scammed

[cunning solstice]

no

skull~2

i didn't code for so long so don't bully me

it was 1 yr ago since i took that lesson

rn im taking random mc plugin dev tutorials

[sharp bough]

thats fine but dont ask every tiny little question here

[sharp bough]

do this first

[cunning solstice]

fine

time to learn java again

😭

[sharp bough]

dw its like riding a bicycle

thats on fire

[cunning solstice]

okay nope ima use "for beginners"

[chrome beacon]

You really don't have to use Netbeans

or xp/older

[shadow night]

Netbeans is for boomers imo

[warm mica]

That won't work in the terminal

[pliant topaz]

i recommend intellij, its basically becoma a kind of standard with java

[quaint mantle]

Hi, how can I hide the a boosbar and show only the text of it?

[blazing ocean]

remove the background texture with a resource pack

[quaint mantle]

btw now I don't see sendActionBar() method in Player class

[blazing ocean]

what

use Player.Spigot#sendMessage with the action bar type

[grim hound]

spinning donut

animation ain't smooth

I'm left wondering

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

anyone knows what I might be doing wrong?

[old coral]

is there a way to convert a block into an container? I need the custom name from a container when a Player interacts with it, but the way I've tried it didn't work

block = event.getClickedBlock();
Container container = (Container) block;

[chrome beacon]

I hope you're not identifying blocks by their name

Anyways Container is part of the block state

[old coral]

Okay thanks, but how exactly do I access the block state? Sorry if it sounds silly but I've started with minecraft plugins yesterday

[smoky anchor]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/block/Block.html#getState()

Don't forget to do instanceof check for the container
If you're on newer version of Java, you can use pattern matching

[old coral]

allready did that thanks

[wintry anvil]

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerChatEvent(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e) {
        if (e.getMessage().contains(":skull:")) {
            e.setMessage(e.getMessage().replace(":skull:", "☠"));
        if (e.getMessage().contains(":heart:")) {
            e.setMessage(e.getMessage().replace(":heart:", "❤"));
        if (e.getMessage().contains(":star:")) {
            e.setMessage(e.getMessage().replace(":star:", "⭐"));
        }
    }}}

why does the replace only work on the skull?

[glossy laurel]

how to add minimessage to scoreboard?

[sullen canyon]

Yes

[glossy laurel]

yk that those contains checks are useless?

[glossy laurel]

also ur if indentation is messed up

[wintry anvil]

Oh you are right...

[wintry anvil]

Yeah, i am used to Skript indentation... rlly gotta get that horrible language out of my head ASAP

[glossy laurel]

lord save me

Anyways, how do I add components to scoreboard?

[blazing ocean]

objectives have display names nowadays

tho that does not accept components on spigot :')

unless... @ choco

[glossy laurel]

?

unless paper or what

[blazing ocean]

no

component PR

[glossy laurel]

what is that

[blazing ocean]

before asking "what is that" to everything I'd suggest thinking what it could mean :')

what could a component PR be doing

[glossy laurel]

well

idk what PR means

so

[wintry anvil]

Is there a way to get rid of the message that says that the message is edited by the server on hover?

[blazing ocean]

if you modify the messages, no

[wintry anvil]

So the only way is to cancel the message and let the server send it?

[blazing ocean]

yeah, that can cause problems on the client tho

[glossy laurel]

pull request? 😭

[quaint mantle]

Correct

[wintry anvil]

Is there a better way?

[blazing ocean]

no

it's how chat signing works

[wintry anvil]

hm, k. thx

[glossy laurel]

component pull requests??? 😭

[pseudo hazel]

a pull request to get better component support into spigot

for things like the scoreboard objectives

[silent slate]

Hey, this is my first time working with SQL and SQL in Java, i heard that JDBC is the tool that opens the connection to the mysql server, now im left wondering why my server spams these errors every time I try to make an connection

[Server thread/WARN]: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for IP-ADRESS

This is how i get my connection if that helps

Connection conn = getConnection("IP-ADRESS:PORT", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD");

I also heard below version 4 you need to import some class, but im importing version 8, so this shouldnt matter for me, right?

Thanks in advance

[chrome beacon]

What JDBC driver are you trying to use

[desert aspen]

When trying to start mi plugin, appears this on console
https://imgur.com/a/sedLcGa
Version of server is 1.21.1 paper
https://paste.md-5.net/afejunoqok.css This is the plugin.yml

[glossy laurel]

how to use hex colors in scoreboards?

[sharp cosmos]

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot create additional worlds on STARTUP```
What's the earliest I can create a world?

or rather, load them

[pseudo hazel]

probably onEnable?

[sharp bough]

the server is running on an older version of java that the lifesteal plugin was compiled with

[old coral]

how do I force a player to leave a container

[chrome beacon]

player#closeInventory

[silent slate]

uhm, i dont really know, oracle? i heard about the drivers but i just imported the SQL JDBC library and thats all

[chrome beacon]

What database are you connecting to

[silent slate]

a mysql database

[zealous scroll]

What's the proper way to get a player's ping using PacketEvents?

[chrome beacon]

Just saying SQL JDBC library is not specific enough

There are many different SQL databases

[silent slate]

i dont know, i really dont, its from java.sql.drivermanager

i dont even know if i use a driver, how to find that out?

[chrome beacon]

You would know before hand what you want to use

[silent slate]

mhh, but i dont, never worked with sql before until now

what do most people use for a mc plugin?

[blazing ocean]

SQLite is a common one

[chrome beacon]

Spigot bundles MySQL Connector

SQLite is also bundled

[silent slate]

but can i still use my code i have now?

what do i need to add?

[chrome beacon]

We don't know what code you have

[silent slate]

            PreparedStatement getMaintenanceStatement = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM server_settings WHERE UUID = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'");
            ResultSet result = getMaintenanceStatement.executeQuery();```
