[flint bane]

tried like 15 times in 20 mins to fix that shit

even had to recode the whole class 10 times

[grim hound]

so uh

um

what if I don't have one?

[flint bane]

any help?

[young knoll]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[chrome beacon]

Make one

[grim hound]

what should this file contain?

[grim hound]

thanks

[sinful iron]

hello, i have a question on using custom item for a custom recipe ONLY. how can i make it only works on custom recipes those r using this custom item and not other vanilla recipes? it looks like only checking the Materials / tags but not PersistentDataContainer? i tried ExactChoice and it doesnt work as expected.

[sullen marlin]

most vanilla recipes are based on materials so youd have to use a craft event

[sinful iron]

The PrepareItemCraftEvent ?

[sullen marlin]

yeah

[sinful iron]

then i do checking there ?

[sullen marlin]

yes

[sinful iron]

ah, alright thank you

ehm, but then is it 1 PrepareItemCraftEvent per recipe ? and how do i get which recipe is it preparing, as i remembered when i tried to System print the name of the recipe it got, it doesnt have a name or at least that looks random to me

[viral halo]

i have a problem
i get a json in String type and i want to get the values. How can i get those value from a key
i used org.json and the JSONObject is require Map now. All the tutorial i found online can just put string into the JSONObject

What i found online

And this what i got

[echo basalt]

how do I know when I'm too many packages deep 🤔

I'm like 10 packages deep rn

[blazing ocean]

if you're asking that question you probably know the answer

[echo basalt]

yeah but I don't see a cleaner way to organize this

[summer scroll]

You could probably use gson

[echo basalt]

I've reached the point where I'm repeating so much math with generics that I need to resort to this

can prolly de-duplicate half of it tbf

[nova notch]

why does this exist

[echo basalt]

currently making a funky attribute system and I cba making different "stacking policies" for different generics of numbers

So I can do something like

StackingPolicy<Integer> policy = StackingPolicies.sum();

int result = policy.apply(5, 10);

It's a bit like mojank's attribute system but it works for generics and you can make custom "stacking policies"

Like overriding the previous value

[wooden frost]

Using "InventoryClickEvent" how does one check what item was placed into a slot

[mortal vortex]

Did you read docs?

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/inventory/InventoryClickEvent.html

[wooden frost]

iiii did but i may have missed something

[mortal vortex]

getCurrentItem()

[wooden frost]

oh. i tried it but it returned air i think or smh, lemme check

[mortal vortex]

Yeah, getCurrentItem() gets what was in the slot before the item was placed, I think what you want to do is get the slot id, then wait 1 tick, and then check whats there.

[wooden frost]

ohh, so there is no actual method to check for the item that was placed without doing this?

damnn

[mortal vortex]

There is getCursor, which gets whatever the mouse is on.

[echo basalt]

The wait 1 tick thing is ugly

[wooden frost]

ye

[echo basalt]

Basically you need to predict and do a million checks

[wooden frost]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/414048461412106240/1193223501633556490/t48NW21.gif

[echo basalt]

For example, in a regular click the item goes from the cursor to a slot

but then the item in that slot gets replaced with the cursor

[wooden frost]

yes, that

[echo basalt]

Basically the event fires before the item is put in

If you're shift-clicking you need to find the first item that matches your thing in the opposite inventory

[mortal vortex]

But i've seen people do it though

[echo basalt]

I should make an API abstraction for slots

[echo basalt]

leads to dupes

[mortal vortex]

yeah ik lol

[wooden frost]

im gona sob my soul out😭

i dont understand a single thing you said

[mortal vortex]

ohh I think i've sene someone do:

 @EventHandler
    public void onInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent event) {

        switch (event.getAction()) {
            case PLACE_ALL:
            case PLACE_SOME:
            case ... // basically the place ones, not the uh "take"?? 

                Inventory clickedInventory = event.getClickedInventory();
                if (clickedInventory != null) {

                    ItemStack itemPlaced = event.getCursor(); // Item on the cursor is here

[echo basalt]

I remember making a plugin for putting custom items in beacons and it was a pain

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

This wasn't 100% accurate, pretty sure I still had to handle shift clicking and offhand switching

[smoky oak]

hey illusion do you by chance know wheres a anti-dupe plugin for the current dupe is? i havent gotten around to start on my own yet

[echo basalt]

what current dupe

[wooden frost]

what is this😭

[smoky oak]

drop/place at once when your connections shit to duplicate blocks, aka, shulkers

[echo basalt]

dunno, not my expertise

rn I'm making an rpg item system :3

[smoky oak]

well what is your area of expertise? i just know i see you here a lot lol

[echo basalt]

I don't really run servers so I don't know much about general server setup / what the best plugins are

I do code a lot so you can ask me about network infrastructure, nms hella stuff

made procedural dungeons the other day

finally ported my ECS to java :3

[smoky oak]

do you know why the particle rendering nonsense caps itself

[echo basalt]

client has a particle limit

it's either 16k or 64k and iirc it depends on the client version

[smoky oak]

🤦
of course

[wooden frost]

an average pc would explode form that

[smoky oak]

urgh my issue is that i dont want to use rps

[wooden frost]

i dont think you should use 16k particles😭

[echo basalt]

make a packet-level particle culler

most particles can be culled

[smoky oak]

no, im using them to make geometric shapes

[echo basalt]

also keep in mind that bandwidth is a thing outside localhost environments

[smoky oak]

lemme dig up an old screenshot

[echo basalt]

yeah those can be culled

[smoky oak]

wouldn't that make them spotty

i want it continuous

[echo basalt]

barely

basically your particle density is way too big

[smoky oak]

hm, ill look into it. do you know by chance which color supporting particle is best for making shapes?

this is dust

[echo basalt]

Haven't really messed with particles enough to give you a concrete answer

dust is the standard

[smoky oak]

alr ty

also im totally not rewriting this thing from scratch atm lol

oh, did you ever do work on structures?

[echo basalt]

as in?

structure blocks or just multi block stuff?

[smoky oak]

2nd

i need to detect if a block is part of a structure in which it serves as the anchor point. best solutino i found so far is shade RedLib and use that

but well, thats still depending on one extra library

[echo basalt]

found it

[smoky oak]

ah ill put a pin in that

[echo basalt]

I have some code for both scenarios

when you know the anchor point and when you don't

(when you don't it just brute forces the fuck out of it)

useful for portals and detecting when ppl build dicks out of dirt and stone

brute forcing is a lot slower

[smoky oak]

no, this is for specific structs. see the gem/amethyst build below? i KNOW the anchor is in the center, top layer, just not of which structure

[echo basalt]

then you just loop over every registered structure and see if it matches

you can multi-thread it

it's how I do my "any-portal in any-rotation" logic

[smoky oak]

bleh i need to look into how to merge threads back into main, but thats not a topic for right now kek

[echo basalt]

CompletableFuture.allOf(futures).join

I wouldn't join, but instead make an executor that fires to main

bleh

[smoky oak]

yea thats probably a better solution than a 1-tick scheduler that checks if all threads have stopped lol

so hows your scan work?

[smoky oak]

(side note. can this complete in the same tick it's called, and start running further code in said tick?)

[echo basalt]

Depends ™️

[smoky oak]

like, how i do the jump back to main you mean?

[echo basalt]

the futures run on another thread

running allOf waits for every future to run and completes on whatever thread

you jump back with the bukkit scheduler

[wooden frost]

is there a way to hide this in INTELIJI into a group perhaps?

cursed , i know

[smoky oak]

if its code inside a method you can wrap it in {} and click on the arrow that makes

[wooden frost]

OHH

RIGHT

THANKS

I FORGOT I CAN DO THAT

[smoky oak]

doesnt that always delay by 1 tick

[echo basalt]

it does

but you're multithreading who cares

the point isn't about latency it's about not blocking the main thread

[smoky oak]

is there a way to check how much processing time is 'left'?

like

the time in ms that main is on wait()

[echo basalt]

No, you'll have to make your own logic for that

and main is not on wait

you schedule the futures on another thread and when they're done they'll schedule a task to run something else on main

main is completely unblocked while the futures run unless you join them

In which case the main thread is blocked until every future is done running

You can't really predict things, we're not fortunetellers

[smoky oak]

ah, thats not exactly what i meant
if a ticks processed it goes liek 'process world -> process plugin events -> wait until next tick'

i thought that as long as theres no TPS lag, theres no reason to multithread the scan

hence me wondering if i can check how long last tick's wait was

[echo basalt]

there's tick start and tick end events

on paper*

[smoky oak]

🤦‍♂️

i dont suppose i can interface with nms to grab that info

illusion, if you find that scan code, can you PM it to me? i need to buy groceries

[viral halo]

how can i spawn a npc using this packet

[echo basalt]

the brute forcing code lets you do both ways

will send after work it's a bit sus rn

[smoky oak]

thats fine, im busy with... sooooo much other code atm lol

[echo basalt]

yeah same

making the equivalent to "runes" / "reforging" rn

[echo basalt]

I don't think I've made a non-generic class for the past maybe 3 hours

[chrome beacon]

There are different ways of doing so

but all you really need to do is provide all those params of your npc entity

[viral halo]

what kind of params

[chrome beacon]

The ones in the screenshot

[viral halo]

the thing is i cannot spawn a player since there isnt a place to let me put the gameprofile

[chrome beacon]

You don't need a player profile there

You simply pass the entity id

[viral halo]

i tried to use nms but all of the tutorial are outdated

so im trying on protocollib

[viral halo]

isnt it the entity have to be created first

[chrome beacon]

hm? wdym

[viral halo]

the player name skin are stored in an entity right?

so i have to create an entity first so i can spawn it

[chrome beacon]

That's another packet

[viral halo]

PlayerInfoUpdate?

[chrome beacon]

One packet to tell the player about a new player (npc)
One to spawn it
One to set metadata

[chrome beacon]

yes

[viral halo]

well which would u recommended to make it on protocollib or nms

[chrome beacon]

both will work if you send the right data

[viral halo]

i cant find any tutorial on how to do that right on nms

protocollib too

all i do is print the packet.getModifier().toString() and see what can i put into it

[smoky oak]

doesnt NMS have the massive issue with breaking with every minor version

[echo basalt]

I literally have tutorials on both

[echo basalt]

not so much with mappings

[smoky oak]

oh true

[viral halo]

thats why all tutorial are outdated

[chrome beacon]

Not really

[viral halo]

the params are different on every update

[echo basalt]

not if you run mappings

[chrome beacon]

^ I really do hope you're not using unmapped nms 💀

[viral halo]

just the params are different

thats the problem i got

idk what to put inside

[chrome beacon]

You can just use Citizens

[blazing ocean]

or packetevents

[viral halo]

well

well can someone explain whats the correct params for player info update

[chrome beacon]

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

[viral halo]

        PacketContainer packet = ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.PLAYER_INFO);
List<Object> list = new ArrayList<>();
        list.add(uuid);
        list.add(getProperties(player.getUniqueId()));
        packet.getModifier().write(0, EnumSet.of(EnumWrappers.PlayerInfoAction.ADD_PLAYER));
        packet.getModifier().write(1, list);
        ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().sendServerPacket(player, packet);

This is the code
and the error

[chrome beacon]

Yeah that's not right

[viral halo]

ikr

which part tho

[chrome beacon]

Don't use a list of objects

[echo basalt]

wild

[chrome beacon]

One entry in that list is supposed to be one player

[viral halo]

i followed this

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

and what you did does not match that

Anyways ProtocolLib has a wrapper class to help you out

[viral halo]

i tried somethin else before

and i found out its list

so i use list

[chrome beacon]

It is a list yes

[chrome beacon]

by this I meant the Object class

[echo basalt]

Protocollib matches nms' signature, not wiki.vg's

nms encodes to wiki.vg's signature but the fields might not match

[chrome beacon]

That too

They do match pretty fine here

[viral halo]

what should i put

[chrome beacon]

PlayerInfoData

[viral halo]

Pray on god

Cannot cast com.comphenix.protocol.wrappers.PlayerInfoData to java.util.List well

[blazing ocean]

plib moment

[viral halo]

how can i solve it

[potent atlas]

Hi, display entity issue!
They're spawning on the corner of the block
Won't center on the player it is supposed to teleport to
Tried adding 0.5 to x and z and it teleported to the block next to the player...
Trying to center it on the player as the player moves
Any advice?

[viral halo]

did u do getX or getBlockX

[potent atlas]

getX

[viral halo]

        PacketContainer packet = ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.PLAYER_INFO);

        WrappedChatComponent component = WrappedChatComponent.fromText(wrappedGameProfile.getName());
        PlayerInfoData data = new PlayerInfoData(wrappedGameProfile, 1, EnumWrappers.NativeGameMode.CREATIVE, component);

        packet.getModifier().write(0, EnumSet.of(EnumWrappers.PlayerInfoAction.ADD_PLAYER));
        packet.getModifier().write(1, data);
        ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().sendServerPacket(player, packet);

I tried to make List.of()... doesnt work 😦

[viral halo]

u did entity.teleport() ?

[potent atlas]

yeah

[viral halo]

u using nms?

[potent atlas]

no

[viral halo]

u can try install nms

and try this

public void teleport(Entity entity, int x, int y, int z) {
  CraftEntity craftEntity = (CraftEntity) entity;
  craftEntity.getHandle().setPos(newX, newY, newZ);
}

[viral halo]

help

[orchid gazelle]

hello mee6

[viral halo]

HI

[viral halo]

well i think its time to go back nms

[potent atlas]

All that when display entities have a teleport method?

[viral halo]

when u want to teleport something

[viral halo]

also did u tried teleport manually using command

if command work

[viral halo]

this will work

[potent atlas]

Umm

I'll keep trying in the morning. Thanks for your help it's 3 AM woops lol

[viral halo]

and i tried to solve a problem since 7 hour ago

and still fail

[silver robin]

Display entities have transformation and rotation data so their location in the world may not always be the center of their bounding box, it sounds like you misunderstood that

can you show the code that spawns the display entity?

When you enable hitboxes F3+B , I believe the blue line will always begin from (x, z) of the entity's location, and y will be entity's location Y plus their eye height

[silver robin]

for example, this command ```
/summon item_display ~ ~ ~ {Glowing:1b,interpolation_duration:20,Tags:["test"],transformation:{left_rotation:[0f,1f,0f,1f],right_rotation:[0f,0f,0f,1f],translation:[0f,0f,25f],scale:[50f,0.5f,0.5f]},item:{id:"minecraft:diamond_block",count:1}}

Try spawning one without  `translation:[0f,0f,25f]` nbt data and see the difference

[viral halo]

im so happy ;-;

[quaint mantle]

can I make the frozen health bar just as an display without the player freezing?

[viral halo]

probably using nms

[chrome beacon]

You can cancel the damage

Alternatively just send the packet

[blazing ocean]

not without the screen shake and overlay

[silver robin]

What's a reliable way to determine if a block (or Material) is passable through by players? what I mean is solid blocks such as stone, dirt, wood you cannot go through them, but grass, flowers, cobweb, vines etc you can

without the need for a giant switch statement of course :)

[summer scroll]

Material#isSolid https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/Material.html#isSolid()

[silver robin]

It works nicely for the blocks I tested it for thank you very much!

[summer scroll]

Anytime!

[hollow vessel]

Hi, I have problem with updating gui title view InventoryView#setTitle() when I perform that method gui start to be really glitchy

    public void updateTitle(AssortmentChest assortmentChest) {
        for (HumanEntity viewer : this.inventory.getViewers()) {
            if (!(viewer instanceof Player player)) {
                continue;
            }

            String title = "Skrzynia " + assortmentChest.getUsedWeight() + "/" + assortmentChest.getWeightCapacity() + "kg";
            player.getOpenInventory().setTitle(title);
        }
    }

[eternal night]

@ y2k

[blazing ocean]

was about to

smh lynx

[blazing ocean]

but yea, don't use that method

[hollow vessel]

so how can I update it? on 1.19.3 I tried with packets and it works the same I updated to 1.19.4 to use inbuild method and still works really bad

[blazing ocean]

updating a title requires opening a new inventory

[hollow vessel]

yea but then the position of cursor is reseting

[blazing ocean]

correct

[hollow vessel]

can I avoid it?

[blazing ocean]

no

not that i know of

[chrome beacon]

Are you calling that directly in the click event

[hollow vessel]

yea

[chrome beacon]

Try delaying it until next tick

See what happens

[hollow vessel]

okay

it works!

thank you!

[zealous osprey]

I remember I had some project too where I needed something like this and then I went:
"Nah, this is fckn stupid"

[ancient canopy]

Is it possible in 1.8 to reduce the amount of hunger players lose?

[ripe idol]

yo guys do i have to master java for spigot plugin development? or basics will work?

[eternal night]

not master, but you should have a solid fundamental

[ripe idol]

so should i watch a full java course and learn?

[eternal night]

Probably yes

[ripe idol]

okay!

[chrome beacon]

Make sure to follow along with the examples and test things on your own

[ripe idol]

ok

[grim hound]

if I have a common module, and would like each platform-specific module to include the common in it, isn't this how I could build the classes of both?

(This is in the platform-specific module)

and uh, it doesn't build the common module

[blazing ocean]

are you just trying to shade it or what

[grim hound]

I mean, basically, ye

[blazing ocean]

and no, you don't needd to do that

just implementation(project(":common"))

[grim hound]

yeah but like

...it doesn't build

[blazing ocean]

that will build the dependent projects

[grim hound]

uh

doesn't really do it

[blazing ocean]

Don't have the build task depend on :common:build

It will

[grim hound]

yep, still

[blazing ocean]

what is the output of :Spigot:build

[grim hound]

only these classes

[blazing ocean]

and what do you mean it does not do it

is it not getting included in your jar or..?

[grim hound]

the common module

[blazing ocean]

that is not a valid response to that question

[grim hound]

none of this

[grim hound]

well Spigot:build includes only that very module's classes

and so does common:build for it's own classes

[blazing ocean]

and are you sure you are actually running shadow

[grim hound]

ah I'm supposed to do that

nice

-1 social status for me

okay, shadow works perfectly

sorry xd

[somber walrus]

So I have a .json file with my custom loot table, but how do I add to my mc server?

[haughty storm]

I'm trying to create an itemdisplay of a mineraft iron sword, that is facing in the direction of a psecific vexctor, but I can't get the transformation correct, could someone help me to understand how I can achieve that?

[eternal oxide]

Its an Entity so you don;t need to use Transformation at all

just set the direction

[haughty storm]

I'll try it out, one second. Thank you

It doesnt really work, probably because the txture of the iron sword isnt a vertical line but has an angle

[eternal oxide]

an angle?

[haughty storm]

yeah, the sword texture goes from the bottomn right to the top left so if i create an itemdisplay using the texture it will have that same texture. I want to rotate it so the tip faces the given direction

[eternal oxide]

ah

then yes you are going to have to mess with Translations

two rotations

Transformation transformation = entity.getTransformation();
// rotate here around Z or X to raise the tip...
transformation.getRightRotation().rotate...
transformation.getRightRotation().rotateY(rotation);
entity.setTransformation(transformation);```

[haughty storm]

Thanks a lot. And how exactly would I translate the direction vector, should I just mess around with it and try it out?

[eternal oxide]

Math.atan2

using x,z

of the Vector

[haughty storm]

Ok, thank you so much I'll try it out later

[somber walrus]

so when I try to generate my custom loot table with this command: give @s chest[container_loot={loot_table:"jef:chests/small_dungeon_chest"}] It generates an empty container

[next stratus]

Hey, is worldedit the fastest way to set blocks or there a possibility to use nms? I know you can do it via nms but trying to work out the best method is a bit tricky.

[smoky anchor]

how do you add your loot table ?

[blazing ocean]

FAWE certainly is the easiest

[earnest girder]

my resource pack for items with custom model data randomly stopped working when I updated to 1.24 1.21.4 and I cant get it to work again

this is the pack: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/9eze705n3soe9oivtr16h/Wicklow2.zip?rlkey=leltyficcg2m22r2v87tq4cdh&st=n3q7m76q&dl=0

items that have custom model data 5 in their meta do not appear with the custom texture when I have the resource pack equipped

[chrome beacon]

custom model data did change a bit

[smoky anchor]

Look at the changelog for the version (also, 1.24 does not exist yet)
There were major changes

[smoky anchor]

• I would recommend not using custom model data for simple models anymore, use the new component
  https://minecraft.wiki/w/Data_component_format#item_model

[slender elbow]

old custom model data has been effectively replaced with item_model yeah

[earnest girder]

by simple, do you mean creating a texture without a custom model?

I need to retexture the item, then do something like this to set how it looks when held:

{
    "parent":"builtin/generated",
    "textures":{"layer0":"items/coal"},
    "display": {
        "thirdperson": {
            "rotation": [ 0, 90, -35 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 1.25, -3.5 ],
            "scale": [ 0.85, 0.85, 0.85 ]
        }
    }
}

is this still going to be possible?

[smoky anchor]

by simple I basically mean anything you would do before this change
since custom model data can now do much more than before

[rotund sparrow]

Hello does anybody have experience in obfuscating Spigot/PaperMC Plugins using ProGuard?

I am trying it for two days now and it seems like I can't get it to work, would rlly appreciate a helping hand.

[smoky anchor]

I don't wanna get into how to create a new custom model for an item 'cause I myself don't fully know, just look at the wiki
I believe it should be fairly well documented there
Use item_model for your case

@earnest girder If you need any help with it, the Minecraft Commands discord is probably the best equipped for this.
Just create a thread and I'm sure ppl will be happy to help there.

[earnest girder]

thanks

[potent atlas]

BlockDisplay display = hider.getWorld().spawn(loc, BlockDisplay.class);```
I was hoping this would spawn it at the center of the player

[eternal oxide]

a BlockDisplay spawns with its corner at the location. A player is centred on the location

if you want the BlockDisplay to spawn AT the player then subtract 0.5 from X and Z

[potent atlas]

ok

trying that now

[somber walrus]

I put it in the datapcks folder in my saves > world > datapacks

[potent atlas]

Works ^-^ Thank you so much!

[smoky anchor]

So through a datapack
Are there any datapack load errors in the logs ?

[somber walrus]

the datapack loads now, but when I execute /give @s minecraft:chest{BlockEntityTag:{LootTable:"jef:chests/small_bronze_chest"}} it gives the error expected whitespace to end one argument, but found trailing data

[smoky anchor]

wait- "saves"
Are you not even on a server ?
What are you doing on this discord lmao

[smoky anchor]

what version are you on ?
This doesn't work for over a year

the first one you sent looked like it should work, provided there are no mistakes in the datapack

[somber walrus]

im on 1.21.1

[smoky anchor]

yes, so this command will not work

try to use the one you sent before

[somber walrus]

still gives an empty chest

the folder is called loot°tables though, should it be loot_table?

[smoky anchor]

what folder

[somber walrus]

datapacks > jef_datapack > jef > loot_tables > chests > small_bronze_chest.json

[smoky anchor]

I don't know in which version they renamed the folders, but at least on latest it is indeed "loot_table"

so I say give it a try

And I'd recommend going to the Minecraft Commands discord server for this kind of issues in the future.
I can see you are in there as well.
I don't know why you're here, this place is for spigot plugin development mainly.

[somber walrus]

It is for a spigot server

But Im first testing it in a singleplayer world

[smoky anchor]

But you are making a datapack.
And if you're testing it in singleplayer then that is more of a reason to go to MCC discord.
They will be able to help even more/better.

Alrighty

[rigid vault]

I'm trying to make a custom world generator, but it uses the vanilla one instead, how do I fix that?
this is my plugin.yml btw: yml name: Void_SkyBlock version: '${project.version}' main: Lazy.VoidSkyBlock api-version: '1.21' worlds: world: generator: Void_SkyBlock

this is the custom ChunkGenerator class: ```java
public class VSBChunkGenerator extends ChunkGenerator {

@Override
public void generateNoise(@NotNull WorldInfo worldInfo, @NotNull Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, @NotNull ChunkData chunkData) {
    if (chunkX == 0 && chunkZ == 0) {
        for (int X = 0; X < 3; X++)
            for (int Z = 0; Z < 3; Z++) {
                chunkData.setBlock(X, 0, Z, Material.BEDROCK);
            }
    }
}

}```

and this is the main class: ```java
public final class VoidSkyBlock extends JavaPlugin {

public static VoidSkyBlock vsbPlugin;
public static Material[] baseItems = new Material[] {Material.OAK_PLANKS, Material.STICK, Material.DIRT, Material.IRON_NUGGET};

@Override
public ChunkGenerator getDefaultWorldGenerator(String worldName, String id) {
    return new VSBChunkGenerator();
}

@Override
public void onEnable() {
    // Plugin startup logic
    vsbPlugin = this;
    getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new VSBPlayerJoin(), vsbPlugin);
}

@Override
public void onDisable() {
    // Plugin shutdown logic
}

}```

pls help

[grim hound]

okay, now what?

[chrome beacon]

Depends on what you want to do

Are you going for maven central? or do you want your own repo

[grim hound]

just upload my an api of my plugin to maven central

[grim hound]

wait, what's the second option?

[chrome beacon]

You can self host your own repo using something like Reposilite

[mortal hare]

guys.. i've comitted a war crime in java

i've... i've used a var...

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

[chrome beacon]

Would look like this: https://nexus.sirblobman.xyz

[grim hound]

free of charge?

[mortal hare]

but seriously using var and static imports kinda makes your code more readable if its not too long

[chrome beacon]

Reposilite is free yes

but you'd need something to run it on

[grim hound]

wdym?

[chrome beacon]

Like somewhere to host it

[grim hound]

ah

well maven central it is

[chrome beacon]

https://maven.apache.org/repository/guide-central-repository-upload

[glad prawn]

i only use static import for something that is repeating too much

[mortal hare]

Import aliases when pls

[chrome beacon]

no 🔫

[mortal hare]

Imho its better to make your code less verbose in syntax way so that you expose only the the logic that needs to maintained so i see such things as a win in terms of maintainability overall

[chrome beacon]

What will happen is that bpeople alias the same import to different things

[blazing ocean]

laughs in kotlin

[chrome beacon]

no 🔫

[blazing ocean]

import com.sk89q.worldedit.world.block.BlockState as WEBlockState

// OR

typealias WEBlockState = com.sk89q.worldedit.world.block.BlockState

[remote swallow]

nexus.sirblobman

[chrome beacon]

Yeah I know

[noble lantern]

import com.sk89q.worldedit.world.block.BlockState as WEBlockState

Thats a thing? Wtf? Javascript confirmed?

get that as out of my java im offended now

how dare my java have proper grammar

thank god i got scared for a moment

[remote swallow]

It's kotlin

[noble lantern]

NOOO

[earnest girder]

what is the current up to date way of adding an attribute modifier to an item?

AttributeModifier constructor is deprecated

[wet breach]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/1-17-1-world-generator-api.521870/

should have some helpful info hopefully

[blazing ocean]

why the fuck are you using overwrite

[smoky anchor]

one of them is not ::)

[nova notch]

and why is it called WeeHoo

[rigid vault]

thx

already fixed it tho...

[wet breach]

[cedar turtle]

What is the best way to prevent creeper damage to players?

[mortal hare]

im so obsessed with context driven naming and syntax right now tbh

i dont really get it why people dont use var or static import more often

isnt your code supposed to be so readable that you can read it straight from git repos without knowing much implementation details

[eternal oxide]

In Java most don't know what a static import does and most experienced Java devs prefer readability over the use of var

[eternal night]

var is pretty meh if you overuse it ngl

[mortal hare]

i dont see how type names improve readability, in very niche cases it does, for example primitives or something.

sure you do know a type, but you will still need to know how to apply it, and usually type names are kinda long, so it induces cognitive load for no reason

if you're reviewing PR you're reviewing a logic of the code, not the types

that's the job of the compiler to review your types

[eternal night]

Like, I look at code I haven#t read in a year. I see a var and something calls .iterator on it

the method is call fetchResults

is that a list? can i index by int

a set? should I worry about duplicates or not?

[mortal hare]

if you use var you should name it accordingly

playerList

[eternal night]

somethingList is terrible

[nova notch]

why use var when you can press 2 keys and autocomplete it

[eternal night]

like, you just made it worse

now the type is just encoded in the variable name

but you also have var

[wet breach]

static import does the same thing as calling the static method or class however there is a very slight difference when it comes to compiling wise in where the compiler is not guessing what it was you wanted.

[carmine mica]

for long type names, I really just want type aliases. especially for long generics

[eternal night]

I fuck with var for some super complex generics

Yea. type aliases would be nice

[mortal hare]

sure if your method is long, var is kinda not practical

but at the same time if you're method is long, isnt that a problem overall

[carmine mica]

a super easy way to give a name to a generic type with specific params would be very handy

[mortal hare]

if your method and class is short and concise you will see what var is being declared to

[eternal oxide]

or you could not use var and see instantly what it is

[eternal night]

Not the biggest fan of splitting methods just for the sake of keeping it so short I can use var

[wet breach]

only time I don't mind the usage of var is if its in some small method

[mortal hare]

its not because of var its indicator that its too long either way

[eternal night]

I don't think so

I can have complex logic that is a single logical step/operation

[mortal hare]

if its complex enough, its unreadable either way

if you add a type or not

[eternal night]

Well, but var like does make it even worse

I am with frost on that end, if it is a dumb small method doing a single assignment or whatever

sure

but overusing it in code becomes annoying quickly for anything that isn't the developer in the current moment

but like, if that isn't the case for you, go for it lol. I can 100% see how it has its upsides

[mortal hare]

my general rule is that if you method doesnt fit in like 32 lines of code (or when its too big to understand properly), its too long

[nova notch]

bro what

[wet breach]

o.O

I just don't like looking in a class that has var all over the place and having to constantly scroll to figure out what is what lmao

[eternal night]

that sounds like you just read that "Clean Code" book or whatever and are now part of the cult

[mortal hare]

kinda, i just like the idea of contextual syntax

[nova notch]

this guy is coding with minecraft max stack sizes

[eternal night]

"contextual syntax"

[mortal hare]

where assignments and declarations themselves present you what the code does

[wet breach]

https://tenor.com/view/zoltan-fingers-cult-bubblewrap-members-gif-5179588

[eternal night]

That is like

not a statement

assignment and declarations are 66% of everything code can do

add comparison and you are done

[mortal hare]

https://tenor.com/view/let's-agree-to-disagree-spongebob-squarepants-saving-bikini-bottom-i-respectfully-disagree-actually-i'm-right-gif-4885496554661662753

[eternal night]

Sure 👍

[grim hound]

doesn't this also require your own hosting?

[dry hazel]

no

[grim hound]

okay

[chrome beacon]

The sonatype OSS repo is commonly used

but that's if your project is open source

[grim hound]

it is

[chrome beacon]

Then go for it

You can read this https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-upload-an-open-source-java-library-to-maven-central-cac7ce2f57c/

Contains steps for how to signup and create a ticket to get your project added

[grim hound]

I am so lost

jira no longer seems to exist

[blazing ocean]

what

?jira

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa

[grim hound]

all of these link to 5 different ways of publishing and I am no longer sure whether they were supposed to be connected or alternatives

[chrome beacon]

Personally I'd just host my own Reposilite repo

[blazing ocean]

Yep

[grim hound]

the sonatype one

[grim hound]

where would you host it?

[chrome beacon]

ah yeah looks like the jira was shutdown

It does lead to some useful info

[grim hound]

anyway

is this how I'm supposed to initially release it?

and then link the credentials to some publish system?

[chrome beacon]

Yeah I can't help you with that part

Haven't done it before

Looks like https://central.sonatype.org/register/central-portal/

[blazing ocean]

publishing to maven central is kind of unnecessary tbh, I've only published to my own and Brawls' repo and it works

[chrome beacon]

Has step by steps for everything

[grim hound]

https://central.sonatype.org/publish/publish-gradle/#metadata-definition-and-upload what is this tho?

[chrome beacon]

hm? That's just project metadata

[grim hound]

am I supposed to give them a jar?

this api uses classes from my much larger plugin, how can I upload them as well?

[chrome beacon]

I don't know what menu you're in

but you're normally not supposed to upload the jar directly like that

You should let maven/gradle handle it

[grim hound]

so what am I supposed to upload?

[chrome beacon]

Do you even need to

[grim hound]

how?

[chrome beacon]

Like this

(if it's a gradle project)

[blazing ocean]

https://reposilite.com/guide/maven https://reposilite.com/guide/gradle

should just apply to maven central too I think

[chrome beacon]

The sonatype guide shows how to make a custom task

I assume so you don't accidentally run it

Also signing and such is more strict on central

[grim hound]

I assume the bottom two are the ones I was supposed to insert into settings.xml during token gen, but what about the upper 3?

[chrome beacon]

So you're using maven?

[grim hound]

nope

gradle

[chrome beacon]

Wait which settings.xml then

[grim hound]

manually made those, like I was instructed

by the page

um

[grim hound]

so what about the upper 3?

[remote swallow]

I have a feeling you don't use buildsystems much

settings.xml is the maven settings file, you need gradle.properties

[grim hound]

have both

[sleek island]

how do apis like citizens provide ai to their npcs?

[wet breach]

you make use of the pathfinding goal

[sleek island]

how can i do that?

as far as i can see serverplayers dont have goalselectors

[wet breach]

in that case you do pathfinding without the goal

you can look into A* pathfinding and similar

but you would utilize tasks though

and you just need to determine how it is you want them to move around

[sleek island]

ty

[young knoll]

You could also just use another mob type and then tell clients it’s a player

[marsh sluice]

[marsh sluice]

some are custom coded but where tested on a different server and i had no problems

[ivory sleet]

some memory access violation there, dou have the full stacktrace?

tho thats prob hard to make use of

[marsh sluice]

idk what that ia

[marsh sluice]

how can i get that

it happens randomly every few hours

[ivory sleet]

one of ur plugins is trolling you hardcore im afraid

but its rly guesswork if u dont know what every single plugin does on a detailed level

[marsh sluice]

all the custom plugins where created by me, could i have accidently done that?

[ivory sleet]

yea sure enough

[marsh sluice]

what piece of code could it have been

like what should i look for

[ivory sleet]

likely sth that delegates to unsafe

if that makes sense

[marsh sluice]

what can i like search for in the code

cause idk what that means

im not very experienced

[ivory sleet]

dou know if any of ur code invokes functions that manually manage memory?

[marsh sluice]

i wouldnt say so, i mostly used youtube videos and spigot documentation for the code

but

all of it worked fine on the test server

so idk why its happening on the main server now

i did install some new plugins so it could be those

[ivory sleet]

i mean for all i know it could very well be a server software bug when it interacts with a certain plugin

idk, these problems are always hard, even if u have a full stacktrace sitting in ur logs

[marsh sluice]

what should i do

[ivory sleet]

update to latest server software, check if ur plugins r causing it, then start checking other plugins

[marsh sluice]

is there a way i can check which plugin is causing it

[ivory sleet]

i mean maybe if u have any errors in ur stacktrace

like if the log shows which function throws it

[marsh sluice]

if it crashes again ill copy the entire error code and stuff and ill send it here

[ivory sleet]

sounds good

i may be offline but some1 else will help u then ^^

[marsh sluice]

aight

thank you

@ivory sleet ia it possible someone could be messing with the server

like using a hack to crash it

[ivory sleet]

eh, na

i mean maybe, but a very slim chance

[wet breach]

you would need a lot more then some simple logs to know this

more specifically you would need to have a network capture at the same time you have a profile capture

[sleek island]

im tryna do that rn

[sleek island]

how would i do this ive been trying

what do i listen for?

[rancid mauve]

Is there a way to get all the persistent data on an ItemStack?

[sullen marlin]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot

[sullen marlin]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/persistence/PersistentDataContainer.html#getKeys()

[rancid mauve]

Gotcha, so no

[sullen marlin]

Wdym no

I just gave you the answer

[rancid mauve]

Well the only way to access it is with the key and type, and the only method for getting all the data is just the keys

🤔

Unless I missed something, which is possible it is 2:30 am

[summer scroll]

Loop the type too maybe?

[rancid mauve]

I've thought about that but it seems kind of hacky, if I had to go that route, for efficiency, I would just start implementing the major plugins that use custom data. Just thought there would be a method to get the keys and type...

[summer scroll]

You could check using has(key, type) first

I don’t think there is a method to get the type yeah

[placid hare]

lowkey ik im new but does anyone know how how I might go about developing a plugin for beta 1.7.3, I know how to program in java I just don't know wtf I need for that lol

any help is appreciated ty

[rancid mauve]

wasn't beta 1.7.3 still hMod days?

[placid hare]

i have no idea lmao

i think there is a version of bukkit, but idk how to get the dev tools etc

[rancid mauve]

I would just find the jar for it and import that

[placid hare]

ah ok thank you

thats actually super helpful because I do actually have that

[quaint mantle]

Is there any reason that a conversation would be receiving null as an input immediaitly after starting the cnvo?

https://pastes.dev/5BTsf218H6 that's my code and it just receives null right away

[worthy yarrow]

I've messed with the conversation api before and it's not great to be fair, you'd be better off tracking state throughout chat events imo

[sullen marlin]

seems like an ?xy

?xy

[undone axle]

https://xyproblem.info/

[rancid mauve]

Fair, I think I found a solution for it with Paper, ty though

[grim hound]

That's accurate

[quaint mantle]

Changing from MessagePrompt to StringPrompt fixed

[viral halo]

how to get an entity by entity id. the int entity id not uuid

[chrome beacon]

probably an nms method for that

[viral halo]

is it craft or server

[chrome beacon]

server

[viral halo]

ServerEntity?

[sullen marlin]

seems like an xy

[chrome beacon]

Assuming it's NPCs again

[viral halo]

im trying to get the entity click event

[blazing ocean]

just do your own tracking

[viral halo]

well i cant get a Entity object when getting the packet

all i got is a entity id

[upper hazel]

I was hoping that if I read the code of a 10 year old project I could replicate it, but I've never been so deeply wrong.

this so hard

[lean pumice]

SpigotConversionUtil#getEntityById if you are using packetevets

[viral halo]

where this from

[lean pumice]

packetevets

[viral halo]

im using protocollib

[chrome beacon]

You know what id your npc had when you spawned it

Store it somewhere

[viral halo]

i have the id i just need to turn it back to entity object

[chrome beacon]

Does it have one?

[viral halo]

it have but

now im trying to get the packet when a player use entity

[4113662, net.minecraft.network.protocol.game.ServerboundInteractPacket$1@77c430a7, false]
this is the packet i got

the first number is the entity id

[chrome beacon]

You can just track what npc id belongs to your npc entity

[viral halo]

now i want to get the Entity object so i can do something

this is the data i stored

[chrome beacon]

If the entity is spawned in a way that the server knows about it then you can use the servers lookup

if not keep your own

[lean pumice]

public Entity getEntityById(int entityID) {
    return Bukkit.getWorlds().stream()
            .flatMap(world -> world.getEntities().stream())
            .filter(entity -> entity.getEntityId() == entityID)
            .findFirst()
            .orElse(null);
}

I have do it now, but this can work if you want get Entity by entityID

[chrome beacon]

💀 That's going to be quite slow

Just track it

[lean pumice]

i know but he want it

[chrome beacon]

You do not need to filter every entity in the world multiple times per tick

[viral halo]

Asynchronous Chunk getEntities call!

[lean pumice]

...

[viral halo]

should i do it in a runnable

[chrome beacon]

No you shouldn't be using that

[lean pumice]

you have store in a map the entity when you spawn it

and when the server stop you delete the entity

and when the server start you spawn it and restore the new entityid

@viral halo

[viral halo]

nice idea

but do i have to make a new entityid everytime?

[lean pumice]

only at the spawn, you have not to store it in the .yml

[viral halo]

why not

[lean pumice]

because you delete it, you create a new one

just do a random

[blazing ocean]

just track this yourself

[chrome beacon]

entity ids are not persistent

only their uuids are

Also ideally you'd claim an id for your entity so something else doesn't use it

but you could just put a very large value and hope that many entities aren't spawned between restarts

[viral halo]

i have another question, im making npc and use spawn entity packet to spawn it. isnt the npc is just a fake player only appear in client and does not show in server?

[blazing ocean]

I believe you can also do negatives

[chrome beacon]

not sure if it allows that

but you can give it a try

[lean pumice]

is only client side if you use the packets

[blazing ocean]

I don't think the client does any kind of filtering, it just accepts it afaik

But then again you could also just use citizens and be happy

[chrome beacon]

^

[viral halo]

so i can reuse the same entity id?

[echo basalt]

you can reuse entity ids yeah

[viral halo]

i made the id random on 7digit

[echo basalt]

client doesn't track ids because it'd be a huge memo leak

[blazing ocean]

yeah, they can just be negatives

[lean pumice]

yes but with no sense

[blazing ocean]

wait is the eid a varint or u32 or sth

[chrome beacon]

Just no point in storing them in a file to persist during restarts

[echo basalt]

dunno why we communicate the entity UUID to the client either

[sullen marlin]

They start again every time the server restarts

[echo basalt]

I usually just pick a number starting from like 100k

[blazing ocean]

if you wanna be extra sure, -100k

[viral halo]

i read my code again and found out the entityId doesnt store in a Entity object

[lean pumice]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[viral halo]

if im making a map to track it is that mean i have to track the entityId also?

[lean pumice]

send here the code ^

[viral halo]

which part

[lean pumice]

spawn and interact, npc class

[viral halo]

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

oh wait

the entity is not exist on the server

so i cant get the entity object

[lean pumice]

oh, yes

[lean pumice]

this system is ok, now in NPCCreate, do a getByEntityID like or something like this and do the action that the npc do

[echo basalt]

npc ecs :)

[viral halo]

since the npc is not exist on server theres no point to get the entity object anymore

but i encounter another problem

[lean pumice]

which?

[viral halo]

when im listening the use entity packet, left click will receive 1 packet but right click will receive 4 packet

and it will run the code for 4 time if player right click

[lean pumice]

ehm...., idk

you have 4x click in the mause?? xd

[viral halo]

im pretty sure i click it one time

[lean pumice]

i am joking

[eternal oxide]

?paste show code

[undone axle]

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

[lean pumice]

@eternal oxide

[viral halo]

in the NPCClickListener class

[buoyant viper]

could be a polling issue

i feel like right clicking is /faster/ in mc for some reason

[viral halo]

but it always 4 packet

[18:24:52 INFO]: [4113662, net.minecraft.network.protocol.game.ServerboundInteractPacket$InteractionAtLocationAction@4d6531d3, false]
[18:24:52 INFO]: [4113662, net.minecraft.network.protocol.game.ServerboundInteractPacket$InteractionAction@772b1f36, false]

[18:24:52 INFO]: [4113662, net.minecraft.network.protocol.game.ServerboundInteractPacket$InteractionAction@55280ed9, false]

those 4 packet

[eternal oxide]

seems fine to me

[viral halo]

instead of prevent it

[eternal oxide]

although I generally use a standard listener

[viral halo]

how can i make it detect

1=left 4=right

[eternal oxide]

I've not listened to packets for NPCs so can;t tell you which packets do come in, but from those packet ids it looks to be two actions

[blazing ocean]

Does the BlockBreakEvent get called for removing blocks using (FA)WE?

[quasi gulch]

Is there a way to increase speed of Phantoms. I tried Attribute movement speed and fly speed but both dont change their speed.

why would you wanna do that to your players

when running a server in debug mode from your IDE, is it possible to tell it to run a function, or does it need to be wrapped into commands?

[blazing ocean]

you would need to set a breakpoint

then you can evaluate

[smoky oak]

commands it is

[blazing ocean]

what

I just told you how to

[smoky oak]

well the thing is that i dont want evaluation, i want to run functions on the server

evaluation can only read

[blazing ocean]

that is exactly what that is

[quasi gulch]

Apparently there is no fix to this. But i found a better torture method. Just instant Teleportation when a Player is targeted.

[eternal oxide]

Do you not want players on your server?

[smoky oak]

working on a library for that atm but nothing concrete, sry

my approach is to chain vectors and cache the locations that vector hits, then spawn particles at those locations

[brazen obsidian]

hi whats the difference between creating a new java thread vs calling Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskAsynchronously()?

[smoky oak]

according to the forum scheduler uses a threadpool and therefore is easier to create for the server

[brazen obsidian]

alright

[warm mica]

Create a thread if it will be running for a very long time (up to permanently), use thread pool if it's short lifed

[brazen obsidian]

oh, in that case, ill use a thread

its a permanent task

[smoky oak]

side note, according to a different forum thread, Schedulers are dealt with by the server on shutdown, but im not too sure how relevant thats for you

[brazen obsidian]

basically, what i am doing is i am running a binary program (with java Process) when there are no players on the server and that programs runs until shutdown

[rough drift]

then you don't need a thread

just don't call waitFor on the process builder and just ask the process to shutdown once onDisabled is called

[brazen obsidian]

wait does processBuilder.start(); create a thread automatically?

[brazen obsidian]

if so, then you are right

[rough drift]

it doesn't, because there is no need to

it just creates a different process

and won't block the current thread unless you call .waitFor()

[brazen obsidian]

okay i see

[autumn olive]

does anyone know if I can use protocollib 5.0.0 to change the skin of a player who entered from a non-premium launcher?

[rough drift]

Check how SkinsRestorer does it

if i want to make a 1.8.9 plugin i need buildtools, but when i set buildtools up should i download thbe latest version of buildtools? will the latest version work wih 1.8.9

[chrome beacon]

yes

also buildtools isn't required to make plugins. You can use the maven/gradle api dependency

(or just grab the api jar)

[sage hare]

okay thanks

@chrome beacon Any cance you can help me with this? i have tried my best to follow this guide
https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/
https://prnt.sc/KGA9KU_mU8-j

i have git installed but which version should i write? and is this .bat file better than doing it with git? because i dont know how to do it with git

[chrome beacon]

1.8.8

[sage hare]

thanks

so exacly does buildtools work with the plugin? it created a folder with a new BuildTools.jar file but how do i use buildtools in a plugin?

[chrome beacon]

You add the maven or gradle dependency

?maven

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-maven/

[chrome beacon]

?gradle

oh well maven command only

[sage hare]

okay thanks
So right now this is what my pom.xml looks like
` <dependency>
<groupId>org.spigotmc</groupId>
<artifactId>spigot-api</artifactId>
<version>1.21.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>``

so what should it be insted?

and when im trying to create a plugin i can choose below 1.18 or something so should i edit the pom.xml to make a 1.8.8 plugin or should i do something else insted?

[chrome beacon]

replace 1.21.4 with 1.8.8

and remove api-version for your plugin.yml if it is set

[remote swallow]

(or set it to 1.13)

[sage hare]

okay thanks alot, only issue right now is that 1.8.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT is red, is there anything else in the dependency i should remove

[remote swallow]

reload maven

[sage hare]

thanks

uhmm... do you know why it has problems with extends JavaPlugin?
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public final class Main extends JavaPlugin {

[sage hare]

^ do you know why?

[eternal oxide]

you don't need to remove the api-version, it will be ignored in versions before 1.13

So if you are writing against 1.8 just set teh version to 1.13 and it will work on every version... so long as there are no breaking API changes

[chrome beacon]

While you don't need to I recommended doing so otherwise the plugin will only work on versions < 1.13 or 1.21.4

(assuming that's the version set)

[eternal oxide]

if he sets it to 1.13 it will run on all versions, and no nag warning on newer versions

[chrome beacon]

also true but you will have the compat features for old versions disabled

[eternal oxide]

yep

[sage hare]

so what would be the best to do?

somehow it cant find bukkit, (org.bukkit) so it cant load javaplugin

[eternal oxide]

?paste your pom

[undone axle]

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

[sage hare]

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

[eternal oxide]

java 21 but targeting MC 1.8.8?

what is the lowest MC version you want to run on?

[sage hare]

im nly going to run on 1.8.9

[eternal oxide]

then set java 8

[sage hare]

but i have downloaded java 8 like an hour ago

[eternal oxide]

your pom says it wants java 21

[sage hare]

alr thanks

do i need to change all these things every time i make a new plugin?

depends what you want it to run on

[sage hare]

it still dosent want to work
https://prnt.sc/DNU1eldY2EV8

[eternal oxide]

What IDE are you using?

[sage hare]

intellij

newest version

[eternal oxide]

did you click the refresh icon in teh Maven tab?

[sage hare]

Yup, i already did that and it has refreshed

right after he refreshed it didnt give and error but 10 seconds after it was done refreshing i got red againb

[eternal oxide]

clear caches and restart

in teh "file" menu I think

[sage hare]

alr

it works now

thanks

[smoky oak]

wish we had a file.toString
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file)));

[slender elbow]

Files.readString?

but like yeah if you go and show the most contrived example things are gonna look obtuse

[chrome beacon]

Could you send your pom

[sage hare]

how do i make a file where i can write the permission and use it in the plugin so when you update the permission it also updates ingame with the new permission

[smoky oak]

doesnt accept a file, only a path. can i assume bukkit paths work for that then?

[slender elbow]

file toPath()

[smoky oak]

ok wtf

[slender elbow]

lol

[sage hare]

?

[slender elbow]

I guess it doesn't like the missing braces?

[smoky oak]

it does not

[slender elbow]

I mean the compiler won't either so lmao

[smoky oak]

its now saying that i should log better

[chrome beacon]

You mean just a config value?

?configs

[undone axle]

See this wiki page on how to use custom configuration files: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/config-files/

[sage hare]

yeah thanks

[smoky oak]

unrelated, but can i pause as i would with a breakpoint without having a breapoint set? theres some things i need to test but i dont want to make a command specifically for that

aka unit test

[chrome beacon]

hm?

You have to get the code running to pause it

[smoky oak]

i have a parser method and want to check it withouthaving to add other possibly erronious code

well my idea was run the server pause it and run it from console

coz its public static

[chrome beacon]

ig that would work

[smoky oak]

well crap

[chrome beacon]

Just breakpoint something

[smoky oak]

yeah i guess

siiiiiiigh

[sage hare]

There is one thing i dont understand.
How is it being saved, im a bit confused abut what it says, should i save it every time or after i add something to it or something?

And if i want to add a value to the config to the file can i do that with a line or do i need to do that manual?
And when i have done something with the config should i save it every time after?

[grim hound]

uh

what the hell

how

[shadow night]

what

[smoky oak]

config values exist in the config file on the drive, and in memory in the YAMLconfig
you need to save whenever your plugin or the server shuts down, though it might be a good idea to do so sooner

[grim hound]

I added the build.gradle.kts files and etc by hand

and intellij well

[grim hound]

did this

also the shadowJars do not include my very own source code

tbh I'm not sure which shadowJar is even the correct one

[sage hare]

so waht do you exactly mean with that? where in the plugin should i write a line that saves the yaml file?

[smoky oak]

onDisable is good

[sage hare]

yeah but like, is it the only place where i should save? im just curious since they dont wrinte it in the config toturial

[crimson quiver]

where can i download the 1.21 spigot?

[smoky oak]

well, my recommendation is to immediately save. ondisable can interfere with administrators trying to edit it

[smoky oak]

look up buildtools

[sleek island]

how do i listen for packets from specific entities?

[crimson quiver]

do i need builttools.exe or .jar?

[smoky oak]

exe runs jar internally

if windows use exe

the ui helps a lot

[crimson quiver]

so if i want it to install it in my server i need .jar?

[smoky oak]

install?

spigot is an api and the server

you dont install it onto one

[crimson quiver]

how do i make a regular vanilla server a spigot server then/

[smoky oak]

buildtools creates a server jar

[short drift]

The people at WorldGuard Discord refused to help me because I'm targetting old version of Minecraft. Perhaps I'll have better luck here.
I'm first time trying to use WorldGuard API. And everything is ready to go. No warnings, no errors.
But when I try to compile I get:

[smoky oak]

protocollib might have what you need

[worthy garden]

I have to create a code that doesn't make me hungry and doesn't make me take damage, how do I do it?

[sleek island]

im using it, but could you give me an example?

[short drift]

Hook up to damage and hunger events and cancel them.

[worthy garden]

how?

[smoky oak]

i was saying that lib coz i remember it being written to not have to use nms, i dont actually know how to interface with it properly

[sleek island]

oh

[worthy garden]

i need to make a listener ?

[sleek island]

use eventhandler

yes

[smoky oak]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-the-event-api/

[strange relic]

You ignored the outdated java version hint... newer wg versions are not compatible with Java 17

[worthy garden]

thx

[short drift]

Hmm. The WorldGuard seems to be working on my server, though 🤔

[crimson quiver]

i got this error

[worthy garden]

like this?

[sleek island]

@EventHandler

        if (event.getCause() == DamageCause.STARVATION) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }
}

}`

[strange relic]

What java version does your server use?

[sleek island]

yeah like that

[short drift]

Oh, actually. It seems to be on Java 22.

[worthy garden]

tanks bro

[short drift]

I guess I need to update my project.

Thank you @strange relicI'll try that out.

[strange relic]

Target java 21 then...

[crimson quiver]

anyone know how to fix this error?

[sleek island]

to at least j21

[crimson quiver]

didn't fixed it

On the options tab at the bottom right override the java it's using

[sage hare]

is this beter? my problem is just how do i get an value from the config file? becuase how to i save it?
https://paste.md-5.net/isodudamuy.java

On the website its saying something but its confusing me and i dont understand when the config file should be saved
And should i write the values manual or with a line?

[crimson quiver]

keep getting the error

this is in my option tab

[sleek island]

idk if this is how you should listen...

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

[chrome beacon]

You have Java 8 selected

also is that a 32bit Java 8 install 💀

[sage hare]

@chrome beacon Any chance you please can help me with this config file and this saving thing?

[chrome beacon]

Config needs to be saved after you've modified it with code

[sage hare]

but where do i do that?

is it onDisable?

or anytime i use something from it or what?

[chrome beacon]

You save it when you want it to be saved

In the code you've sent you don't need to save anything

because you haven't made any changes

[sage hare]

and what exactly is a change? is it when i use a value from the file should i save after that?

or is it only when i add something to it?

and should the file be saved in onDisable?

[chrome beacon]

No

When you add or set a value

[sage hare]

oh okay thanks

but what about ondisable?

[chrome beacon]

Save it when you're done adding to it

[sage hare]

okay thanks

[sage hare]

do you know why i cant add anything to the config from the main class? when im trying to use getPermissionConfig i just cant then im getting this:

public File getPermissionsConfigFile() { return permissionsConfigFile; }

and if i dont tab it its just red

[crimson quiver]

it keeps giving me the same error

[sleek island]

can someone help rq

You'll have to manually point it to the java.exe
