[thorn isle]

not really any different from shitcoin mining in terms of wattage, but upfront costs are an issue

[torn shuttle]

the window of time for deepseek's relevance is also quickly going away, personally I only think of it as the cheap option now that claude 3.7 is out

if I had infinite money I wouldn't even think about deepseek

so you have to rely on hoping some other massive model comes out with a completely free and open source license

or worse, good luck making your own lol

if I want a free model I have gemini, and if I want a good model I have claude, deepseek is in that weird intermediate level where I want something powerful that won't make me go bankrupt

[slim wigeon]

What was that in #general ? I don't put all that in one if statement

[chrome beacon]

Don't take #general too seriously

[lusty sapphire]

I would like to get Location from player, but I don't know how to do it.
I would also like to know if there is some kind of reference.

[mortal vortex]

@slim wigeon pretty sure this guy worked with songoda, so he's probably who you wanna harass.

[drowsy helm]

Player#getLocation

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Entity.html#getLocation()

[lusty sapphire]

thanks

[slim wigeon]

I not going to harass anyone. If he wants to work with Songoda, we cannot stop him

[mortal vortex]

no no i meant, you were whining about how songoda can do that hopper shit and you cant.

or whatever ur skill issue was

[slim wigeon]

I see, I done with that. But thanks for telling me. I did see he is in these servers, all 3. We cannot harass anyone here, its against the rules

[mortal vortex]

bruh i didnt mean literally harass but thanks

[slim wigeon]

I might know how I can fix that issue, I got to re-work my lists

[hushed spindle]

I understand that. The issue is that the item is being mutated when it's not expected to be. Even when I add an item to an empty inventory is the amount changed by consistent quantities.
So given your example, if I pass an ItemStack with stack size 64 to an empty inventory, the quantity is now 63. If I do it again with the 63-size stack, its now 61, then 57, then 49, then 33, then 1. Again, the inventory is completely empty. It's just reducing the amounts for the heck of it

so its reducing by 1-2-4-8-16-32

[umbral ridge]

a server reload clears tasks right

[mortal vortex]

I have a utility class to generate a progress bar, but the specific color of this bar should be inferred from a config file. Everytime I invoke this class I think its a bit verbose passing plugin eachtime. Is doing something like this going to be acceptable?

private val plugin: JavaPlugin? = Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("PLUGINMAINCLASS") as JavaPlugin?

or will this cause errors

To clarify, in order to access the config I'll need an instance to the plugin, which should be passed through a constructor usually.

[eternal night]

Well, usually you'd construct this instance once with the plugin passed

and pass it around

[mortal vortex]

fair enough

[slim wigeon]

Trying to get my 1.19.3 plugins to date. And I noticed this function public void saveInv(ItemStack item, Inventory inv) { ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta(); BlockStateMeta sm = (BlockStateMeta) meta; Chest chest = (Chest) sm.getBlockState(); chest.getInventory().setContents(inv.getContents()); sm.setBlockState(chest); item.setItemMeta(sm); }This function saves the inventory to a item but my question is, how can I save a custom inventory like InventoryManager for a example?

[smoky anchor]

who wrote this, this is bad
no instanceof check for the BlockStateMeta ?
This code has 6 lines written on 3 because ???
And it does not save inventory, only the inventory contents.

You'll probably have to elaborate on what your InventoryManager is.

[pseudo hazel]

I love the confidence with the casting

[smoky anchor]

Watch me pass a stick and have your code explode

[slim wigeon]

I wrote it, I was getting started at the time. But I might know what I need to do. I also know this needs to be changed. Just want to get the code in working state before I change anything either than adding my core to it and server version from 1.19.3 to 1.21.1

[smoky anchor]

Ok fair I guess, just be sure to rewrite it properly.
And maybe do use more descriptive variable names, not just "sm"

[pseudo hazel]

but yeah idk why it wouldnt work for your custom inventory

assuming an instance of Inventory exists anywhere in there you should be able to save the contents in the same way

[slim wigeon]

I may ask for help so be ready, I don't know what I was doing with that. Let me get the plugin in functional state. One second

[glossy laurel]

guys, whats the event that gets fired when an item loses durability?

[pseudo hazel]

PlayerItemDamageEvent

[jagged thicket]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerItemBreakEvent.html ?

not this?

[slim wigeon]

What are you trying to do?

[glossy laurel]

affect how items get damaged

[slim wigeon]

Like for pickaxes and all that?

[glossy laurel]

more like armor

but yeah

[slim wigeon]

This is not what he means, it only triggers when a item is broken. Not when it takes durability

[slim wigeon]

I like to know this as well for my mining drills

[jagged thicket]

(that is why i striked it out)

[slim wigeon]

You had me check my previous code on that one

Then I seen what it really was

[pseudo hazel]

.

[slim wigeon]

@pseudo hazel Incorrect method like I said here

[pseudo hazel]

maybe read what I said

PlayerItemDamageEvent != PlayerItemBreakEvent

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

Called when an item used by the player takes durability damage as a result of being used.

[slim wigeon]

I just noticed, I must be focusing on too much

I will test that as well

[echo basalt]

@lost matrix tell me your ways

[dawn flower]

where did the 6 lore lines come from if meta in item is null? meta is item.getItemMeta()

[rotund ravine]

What’s in it

[eternal night]

wtf is isForInventoryDrop

[dawn flower]

idfk

[rotund ravine]

Is for inventory drop obv

[dawn flower]

in what?

[rotund ravine]

In ur arraylist for lore

[smoky anchor]

What does the lore say 🎵

[dawn flower]

well i'm modifying the lore clientside so it should be empty

1 sec lemme give u the code

    @Override
    public void onPacketSending(PacketEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        PacketContainer packet = event.getPacket();

        if (packet.getType() == PacketType.Play.Server.SET_SLOT) {
            ItemStack item = packet.getItemModifier().read(0);
            packet.getItemModifier().write(0, addEnchantLore(player, item));
        }

        if (packet.getType() == PacketType.Play.Server.WINDOW_ITEMS) {
            List<ItemStack> items = packet.getItemListModifier().read(0);
            items.replaceAll(item -> addEnchantLore(player, item));
            packet.getItemListModifier().write(0, items);
        }
    }

    private ItemStack addEnchantLore(Player player, ItemStack item) {
        item = item.clone();
        ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
        if (meta == null) {
            return item;
        }

        List<String> lore = new ArrayList<>();
        for (AbstractEnchant enchant : TurboAPI.getEnchantManager().getEnchants(item).keySet()) {
            lore.add(enchant.generateLore(player, item));
        }

        if (meta.hasLore()) {
            lore.addAll(meta.getLore());
        }

        meta.setLore(lore);
        item.setItemMeta(meta);
        return item;
    }```

[smoky anchor]

You testing this on creative ?

[dawn flower]

yes

[smoky anchor]

Ye well that's your problem

The creative inventory is whacky

[dawn flower]

who made the creative inventory

i want to have a small talk with him

[valid basin]

Thank you bro. Was searching for it

[dawn flower]

anyways tysm i've been trying to fix this for a long time

[smoky anchor]

I've had the same problem when I was trying to hide nbt from client
the nbt was just going away 'cause player in creative has complete control over their inventory

[slim wigeon]

...[05:07:14] [Server thread/WARN]: MrnateGeek moved wrongly!

[smoky anchor]

Just don't

[slim wigeon]

Did I miss something?

[smoky anchor]

Idk, I'm just making joke
Just move correctly

[slim wigeon]

It might be this stone walls near my miner machine, Mojang set its hit boxes wrongly. I not against either. Its perfect the way it is

[flint coyote]

Hmm why does this happen?

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvent(CreatureSpawnEvent.class, this, EventPriority.NORMAL, (listener, event) -> {
            System.out.println("Creature Spawn Event called with " + event.getClass());
        }, this);

[STDOUT] Creature Spawn Event called with class org.bukkit.event.entity.ItemSpawnEvent
``` Sounds like a bug to me because ItemSpawnEvent does not extend CreatureSpawnEvent

[smoky anchor]

Mojang set its hit boxes wrongly
What do you mean ?

Items are not creatures

what

[flint coyote]

exactly, so why is my event called anyway?

[slim wigeon]

I cannot re-create the bug but if you seen it, you know what I mean

[smoky anchor]

I don't know what you mean, can you show or explain what you mean bby "wrong hitbox" ?

[slim wigeon]

Its unrelated to spigot. Are your PMs open? I might can show you

[smoky anchor]

ye sure you can DM me that, I'm curious

[flint coyote]

I'll make a bug report later I guess

[dawn flower]

    @EventHandler
    public void onPrepareAnvil(PrepareAnvilEvent e) {
        AbstractEnchantManager enchantManager = TurboAPI.getEnchantManager();
        ItemStack first = e.getInventory().getItem(0);
        ItemStack second = e.getInventory().getItem(1);

        if (first == null || second == null || enchantManager == null ||
                enchantManager.getEnchants(second).isEmpty()) {
            return;
        }

        ItemStack result = first.clone();
        for (Map.Entry<AbstractEnchant, Integer> entry : enchantManager.getEnchants(second).entrySet()) {
            if (!entry.getKey().canApply(result)) {
                continue;
            }

            enchantManager.applyEnchant(result, entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
        }

        e.setResult(result);
    }```

when creative, it works, but when survival the result appears for a split second then disappears

[eternal night]

thats not a bug

CreatureSpawnEvent does not have its own handler list

neither does ItemSpawnEvent

the executor is responsible for ensuring only the correct instances are passed to the listener

[flint coyote]

So I have to check myself whether I get the correct event, despite I said I want this specific one? Why can't that check be in spigot?

Doing it in the executor is possible and I did that as a workaround but it seems off to me

[eternal night]

this system is eons old ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[flint coyote]

It's a one liner 😭

[eternal night]

but this is the way it is supposed to work

well

[valid burrow]

@flint coyote pr it if you care so much lol

[eternal night]

and get it clapped

[flint coyote]

Will probably be considered a breaking change of some sort

[eternal night]

The registered listener would have to start tracking that now

or the methods would need to wrap your EventExecutor

[echo basalt]

wasn't there an issue where it passed the wrong event?

[flint coyote]

Yeah it just did but apparantly that's working as intended

[echo basalt]

I mean passing the wrong subclass

like listening to ItemSpawn and it passing CreatureSpawn

[flint coyote]

yes see here

[slim wigeon]

I tried to help you but ok

[echo basalt]

I recall having errors w that

[flint coyote]

yeah exactly the same issue here

[echo basalt]

yeah just do a class.isInstance check

[eternal night]

yea because itemspawn and creature spawn are both just registered into the entity spawn handlerlist

[echo basalt]

exactly

[flint coyote]

I did it with isAssignableFrom but yeah

Alright guess I'll not open a bug report if that's working as intended

Could at least get a warning in the javadoc though

[dawn flower]

.

nvm

[jagged thicket]

EntityDamageEvent also doesn't have handler list right?

[rough drift]

It should iirc

[jagged thicket]

nvm it has

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityDamageEvent.html

[molten hearth]

lmao i was looking for the same info

did you get it/try it?

my uni prof mentioned his dept has been using it successfully

[echo basalt]

guy at work uses it

They bought out supermaven which has really good AI autocompletion

and they're prob using it

so I'd have high expectations

[rough drift]

I looked at cursor, looks oddly familiar

[echo basalt]

it's a vscode fork

[haughty storm]

When uploading a resource on spigotmc, how would I best add a resource pack to the resource? Should i just use an external upload service andlink it or does spigotmc provide a better alternative

[blazing ocean]

it does not

[echo basalt]

prob just embed it in the resources folder n shi

[blazing ocean]

serve on the minecraft port 🔥

[haughty storm]

I mean when uploading something as a resource for others to download, like releasing a plugin. But there is a resource pack thjat belongs to the plugin. Is there a preffered practice how to upload a resource pack along with it

[echo basalt]

mm enterprise code I made a pdc wrapper

such quality code

[jaunty gazelle]

anyone recommend a good quickstart guide on the spigot api

[blazing ocean]

no there is not

could have something in your data directory downloaded from some asset repo or something

it's close to what I do at work

I clone the asset repo and compile the resource pack to a seperate directory and zip it

[proper cobalt]

i have this

which is called in onEnable which does

Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new DeathbanListener(), HCF.getInstance());
in its constructor
and look at the class

public class DeathbanListener implements Listener {
    private final DeathbanManager deathbanManager = HCF.getInstance().getDeathbanManager();

    @EventHandler
    private void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        final Player player = event.getEntity();

        if (deathbanManager.containsKey(player.getUniqueId())) {
            return;
        }

        long banTime = System.currentTimeMillis() + (HCFConfig.Deathban.DEATHBAN_TIME * 1000L);
        deathbanManager.put(player.getUniqueId(), banTime);
    }

    @EventHandler
    private void onPlayerRespawn(PlayerRespawnEvent event) {
        if (deathbanManager.containsKey(event.getPlayer().getUniqueId())) {
            event.getPlayer().sendMessage("ur in the thing");
        }
    }
}```

but its telling me deathbanManager is null

in the Listener

how is that possible

[valid basin]

Does someone know how I could disable swimming in modern versions to only allow the player to slowly swim (like it was in 1.8.8 versions) I've tried modifying the entity_metadata packet to cancel the event when it changes to swimming but it doesn't seem to work. If someone knows a better way I'd appreciate it

The spigot api methods don't really work reliably like like setSwimming

[smoky anchor]

Solution: stop supporting cross-version support with version difference of a DECADE

[valid basin]

I'm not supporting cross-version bro

I'm just trying to return the 1.8.8 features to 1.20

using packets

[smoky anchor]

But whyy
That's horryfing

[valid basin]

I've follow the entity metadata format

Pose VarInt Enum STANDING = 0, FALL_FLYING = 1, SLEEPING = 2, SWIMMING = 3, SPIN_ATTACK = 4, SNEAKING = 5, LONG_JUMPING = 6, DYING = 7, CROAKING = 8, USING_TONGUE = 9, SITTING = 10, ROARING = 11, SNIFFING = 12, EMERGING = 13, DIGGING = 14, (1.21.3: SLIDING = 15, SHOOTING = 16, INHALING = 17)

but it doesn't seem to work

[smoky anchor]

And don't call the lack of proper swimming a "feature"

Sorry, I'll see myself out

[valid basin]

Should I call it a de-feature then xD

[kind hatch]

We call that a regression.

[echo basalt]

problem is the client's doing predictions

and no, that won't work because you're using the legacy wrapped watchble collection instead of WrappedDataValue iirc

[thorn isle]

i very vaguely remember the swimming/crawling pose being controllable from server side

i'm not sure how much prediction the client does on it

[rough ibex]

You can do it but everytime the client tries to swim theyll be bounced back and its super annoying

[thorn isle]

set their hunger to 0 🤡

[quaint mantle]

hi!

how do I go about using NMS? I have probably never used it, and I may need to right now. I want to add a few new tools to the game with custom mining speeds and stuff. I tried to modifying the attributes, ending up changing block_breaking_speed but that made a pickaxe which could instamine wood. So, um, how should I get started with NMS?

[smoky anchor]

?nms

[undone axle]

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

[smoky anchor]

But you do not need NMS for any of what you just described

[quaint mantle]

what could I do otherwise?

[thorn isle]

iirc you can do that with datapacks

[smoky anchor]

Modify the tool component on the item or correctly use the attributes

[chrome beacon]

mining_efficiency attribute

[quaint mantle]

I tried that next. I was tinkering with the attributes and gave myself one with a command generated from mcstacker but it did not seem to affect the mining speed at all for anything.

[thorn isle]

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Data_component_format#tool

[quaint mantle]

Oh. I may try that.

[thorn isle]

alternatively this

no clue if there is api for it though

[smoky anchor]

Yes, there is API

You do not need a datapack for any of this

[thorn isle]

neat

[smoky anchor]

And datapack would not help in any way at all
Again, you're just modifying an item which you can do with a /give

[thorn isle]

gone are the days of listening to fucking block damage packets and updating the block breaking process every tick in a scheduler task

[quaint mantle]

OH NEAT! THX! I should probably get more acquainted with datapacks.

[quaint mantle]

there is an API in spigot for creating tools?

or something else that fits what I am trying to do here?

[thorn isle]

apparently yes

i've yet to use it though so i don't know the names off the top of my head

try digging around the itemmeta docs and searching for "component" or such

e.g. FoodComponent is https://minecraft.wiki/w/Data_component_format#food

logic would dictate that this would be ToolComponent but logic and bukkit don't go well together

[smoky anchor]

You can use the ItemMeta to get the tool component
Then modify that and set it back

It's not an API for "creating tools" exactly, but it does allow you to create tools

[thorn isle]

it IS toolcomponent

i'm amazed

is there api for getting the default toolcomponent from item material?

to e.g. use an existing vanilla tool as a base

[quaint mantle]

Btw, does this new components thing replace the old NBT system?

[thorn isle]

yes

[smoky anchor]

In a way, yes

NBT remains the save format for data

[quaint mantle]

other than serialisation.

[thorn isle]

rather, does calling ItemMeta::getTool return the material's default tool component if none is set on it, or an empty instance

[quaint mantle]

I just noticed that {} from the give command is gone and has been replaced with [] instead.

[smoky anchor]

I do not believe it does

[thorn isle]

there is a CUSTOM component that still holds raw NBT

but apart from that, items at runtime are handled entirely as components

which are in principle immutable

which, if you ask me, is probably the best thing to happen since waterlogging

[smoky anchor]

Waterlogging is a terrible hack imo

[thorn isle]

well yes but it does look cool

[smoky anchor]

yes

[slender elbow]

itemmeta works entirely and solely on the patch layer in isolation, without any regard for the base item's prototype component map

[quaint mantle]

wow. Seems kind of nice. I should probably get more familiar with this stuff.

[slender elbow]

you see, itemmeta is a very good, highly flexible system

[thorn isle]

do we have a facility to get the base component

like on the bukkit itemfactory maybe

[slender elbow]

you have some methods in Material like getDefaultAttributeModifiers, getMaxDurability or whatever etc

but not really

[thorn isle]

kind of ass but i suppose hardcoding the properties of the vanilla tools isn't that much work, so whatever

[slender elbow]

in my opinion this is a fundamental flaw in the api

but i don't care because i don't use itemmeta

[thorn isle]

do we have something better

i know paper has some sort of data component api but i've yet to use it

[slender elbow]

if by "we" you mean spigot api, no

if you are using paper api, paper has their data components api, but you should ask in the paper discord about that

there's a docs page etc

[fossil cypress]

Is it possible to stop a minecart from going downhill on slopes?

[mortal vortex]

On a move event, could you check the coordinates, check if the difference is -Y, and then cancel the event by setting its velocity to 0?

[smoky anchor]

maybe try to describe more of what you're doing

[worthy yarrow]

There's a #setMaxSpeed method in minecart you could play around with:

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Minecart.html#setMaxSpeed(double)

Given what's available through api, you'll probably have to describe when the minecart should slow down... programmatically that is

[torn shuttle]

no

honestly there's a 2 week free trial and I feel like 2 weeks is not enough time to justify the effort of migrating my current projects to try to use it

I have 5-6 different projects open in my IDE right now, I don't want to have to reconfigure everything

if it was 1 month I might consider it

[bright spire]

Guys do anyone knows how to fix the client-side visual issue where the player is shown normally when right clicking after switching from one slot to another while right clicking? I need to know how to fix this from spigot itself

The player is shown not rightclicking for example not using the bow when you switch slots while right clicking

Hello, how can I get the knockback resistance of an entity ? (I want to make a function to deal knockback using an entity and an ItemStack without dealing damages)

[bright spire]

.setVelocity

[cinder abyss]

I think you should read my question again

[remote swallow]

afaik best bet is just checking the entity and equipment

[cinder abyss]

what's the function to get his attributes ? I'm using at least spigot 1.17

[remote swallow]

okay my bad, it was on LivingEntity, and I was using Entity

[cinder abyss]

Hello, how can I get the attack damage of an ItemStack ?

I tried meta.getAttributeModifiers(Attribute.GENERIC_ATTACK_DAMAGE) but it's null (for a Wooden Axe)
which should return me 7

[young knoll]

You need to use the default attributes for items that don’t have any explicit attributes set

Material#getDefaultAttributeModifiers iirc

[cinder abyss]

okay thanks

Guys I'm doing a #player.hidePlayer(target) and I'm sending a packet from the tab so that the player doesn't disappear from the tab but for some reason it disappear from the autocomplete, but as have it currently the target disappears from autocomplete but I don't want that to happen, any ideas?

I want to do it like this to "hide" players in modal spawns when I do big events but I don't want them to be hidden from the tab or autocomplete, just physically.

I'm currently using packetevents for this, it works just the problem is the autocompletion

private void sendHidePacket(Player server, Player toHide){
        try{
            UserProfile profile = new UserProfile(toHide.getUniqueId(), toHide.getName(), new ArrayList<>());

            WrapperPlayServerPlayerInfoUpdate.PlayerInfo info = new WrapperPlayServerPlayerInfoUpdate.PlayerInfo(
                    profile,
                    true,
                    toHide.getPing(),
                    GameMode.SURVIVAL,
                    Component.text(toHide.getName()),
                    null
            );

            EnumSet<WrapperPlayServerPlayerInfoUpdate.Action> actions = EnumSet.of(
                    WrapperPlayServerPlayerInfoUpdate.Action.ADD_PLAYER,
                    WrapperPlayServerPlayerInfoUpdate.Action.UPDATE_LISTED,
            );

            WrapperPlayServerPlayerInfoUpdate packet = new WrapperPlayServerPlayerInfoUpdate(actions, info);

            Object usersChannel = PacketEvents.getAPI().getProtocolManager().getChannel(server.getUniqueId());
            PacketEvents.getAPI().getProtocolManager().sendPacket(usersChannel, packet);
        }catch (NullPointerException ignored){}

[raw abyss]

im trying to detect player left clicks and set a scoreboard accordingly for use in command blocks. Am I over complicating things, and would this even work? I've never made a plugin before lol.

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerAnimation(PlayerAnimationEvent event) {
    if (event.getAnimationType() == PlayerAnimationType.ARM_SWING) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        Bukkit.dispatchCommand(
            Bukkit.getConsoleSender(),
            "scoreboard players add " + player.getName() + " LeftClicks 1"
        );
    }
}

[drowsy helm]

just use PlayerInteractEvent

and check if action is left click

[raw abyss]

but would that work with any type of left clicking? Like hitting an entity, air, breaking a block, etc

[drowsy helm]

do you want left click or arm swing

breaking a block is counted as one click

[raw abyss]

left clicking

[drowsy helm]

but if we are talking arm swing it would be counted as multiple

but yes, it would cover all of those things

animation event just isn't reliable enough to determine whether it was a click

[raw abyss]

oh okay

so uh, how would i do that lol

nvm ill figure it out eventually

[drowsy helm]

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

use getAction to determine click type

[torn shuttle]

how do cool kids prevent players from moving in a safe way these days? I know

• cancelling the movement event
• forcing them to mount a static entity
• setting their movement speed attribute to 0

but I don't like the first because it looks horrible, I don't like the second one in general and I don't like the third one because it's horribly unsafe in case of crashes and such

oh right and potion effects

but that doesn't really fully stop them

[tranquil pecan]

try setting velocity when player moves

[mortal vortex]

Just velocity?

[tranquil pecan]

or just save the attribute value to a file before setting the attribute to 0
Use the saved attribute later

[torn shuttle]

you run into the issue where a server can crash and then people boot it back up with the plugin removed

[tranquil pecan]

How a server crash can remove a plugin

[torn shuttle]

not what I said

the admins can remove it after a crash

[buoyant viper]

arm swing animation also happens if u right click an interactable

like a door or button

or lever

etc

[tranquil pecan]

Well, you are just creating your own problems 💀

I don't think there are more methods

[dapper night]

Whats the diference between these 2 in regex?
(.{0,7})
([.]{0,7})

😭

[dry hazel]

no difference

well actually if the first dot isn't escaped, then it will match any character

but I presume discord just removed the escape

[orchid trout]

slowness and jump 255

works really wel

l

[dapper night]

its doing weird crap

sorry for dm just images not alowed to me

[dry hazel]

first one matches any character 0 to 7 times, second one matches a dot 0 to 7 times

[dapper night]

it doesnt do that thats the problem

im trying to match any character in both

also space

[quasi warren]

Is this where I'd ask for someone to make a custom plugin for me.

[dapper night]

oh it actualy does but if it matches it cancels other things out

i understand problem now

[dry hazel]

?img

[undone axle]

Can't send images? That's because you're not verified! Use !verify to complete verification.
Alternatively, you can upload screenshots to any image hosting site and share the link.

Here's some screenshot utilities that you can use to upload images.
Lightshot: https://prnt.sc
Imgur: https://imgur.com/upload
Flameshot: https://flameshot.org

[dapper night]

. stands for any character when in clouse

[quasi warren]

Anybody know where I'd post for needing a commissioned plug in?

[dapper night]

. is any symbol when not in clouse

[ ] <-- by clouses i mean this

[dry hazel]

yeah it makes a character set to match against

you can also put a backslash before the dot, that escapes it

[dapper night]

Lmao thank you making my life easyer as server owner, since getting like 300 dms on how to forward ports or how to make server thats super anoying, im not google lol.

[slim wigeon]

What effect is item pickup? Like effect for block breaking is STEP_SOUND

[smoky anchor]

Did you even try? Should be
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/Sound.html#ENTITY_ITEM_PICKUP

[slim wigeon]

I think I tried that once in 1.19.3 but its not realitic (Single pitch)

Not knowing the values is a task in its self

So if you know where I can get these, that be helpful and I might can create a array. So it can get a value at random

[smoky anchor]

I don't think you need to make an array... just call the Math.random or whatever
But you can take a look at vanilla source code. It's easy if you depend on NMS.

[slim wigeon]

I don't want to use the NMS

[smoky anchor]

I'm not telling you to use NMS, I'm saying that it's the easiest way for you to check the server code

Some guy used ((random.nextFloat() - random.nextFloat()) * 0.7F + 1.0F) * 2.0F to make the pitch I think
0.2f for volume it seemed. But the post is 13 years old, so idk if it's right :D

[slim wigeon]

I might test that, thanks

[slim wigeon]

Tested and it works

[smoky anchor]

Nice
For future reference, I just googled "spigot item pickup sound" and got here

[slim wigeon]

I don't want to increase anything but thanks

[smoky anchor]

My intention with this message was to teach you a bit how to search this information yourself

[slim wigeon]

hows that the case when @smoky anchor just quoted something from 2012?

Event driven architecture with multiple components that might need to know about each other but have generally separate responsibilities sure is making my brain work

I keep getting a ticking block entity issue now that I've made changes to the populate method in my BlockPopulator, but I don't really understand what that means.

"but i have a list" :4head:

[gentle iris]

im going insane

does anyone know how to add libraries in intellij?

i need to add the Reflections library-- ive been adding it as a dependency and intellij seems to recognize it when im coding

but when i build the artifact... its just not there

when running the plugin, it errors "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/reflections/Reflections" and disables itself

I've been going around for half the day on the internet and everyone says "just add the maven dependency to the pom.xml" but I HAVE!

and it STILL doesn't compile to the artifact

[echo basalt]

You gotta shade it

[gentle iris]

right. how do i do that?

ive seen other people say the same thing

[echo basalt]

?shade

bruh

?shadow

?maven-shade

[gentle iris]

then say "just google it lol"

[echo basalt]

bot pls

there's a guide

[gentle iris]

and then i do and i still dont understand

[echo basalt]

rip can't find it

Anyways you need to setup the maven-shade plugin in your pom

and remove the <scope>provided</scope> for anything that needs shading

[gentle iris]

i... cant upload files to this channel, but i have the maven-shade plugin and the dependencies that need to be compiled don't have a scope

[vast ledge]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[gentle iris]

also tried defining scope as compile

oh ty

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

I need both Commons and Reflections in the built artifact

but using the build command on intellij... outputs a .jar without either of the dependencies

so, if I need to shade those, how should I do that?

ugh, i think i found it

apparently, despite picking maven as my dependency manager, I have to use the maven build command instead of just the build command

[peak depot]

is it against spigot rules to do a global ban database?

[valid burrow]

someone already tried that

more than once

problem is

its very hard to moderate

people can just bot report someone resulting in thmw being banned everyhwere

[peak depot]

nah its not a global ban system more like trustfactor and also just a nice touch but not core of it

but when catdatabase

[valid burrow]

working on it

:p

[valid burrow]

interesting idea

like ip scores?

[peak depot]

more or less basic thing is a clone of gommehd guardin system

[vast ledge]

That would be a problem

if it were IP based

[valid burrow]

thats not what i said

i said LIKE ip score

not using ip

[peak depot]

would then be like UUID or smth

gotta come up with an idea

[valid burrow]

Fraud score

maybe youre more familiar with that term

[peak depot]

but before I do that imma get better with design patterns

[vast ledge]

But selling accounts would still become an issue wouldn't it?

[peak depot]

if its an fresh account it has a good trust factor then yeah

I just want to hear that from a staff member their selfs because it might not be in the rules. And if its not like the rule became a thing, its just better that I hear it from the staff for updated info

Just because something isn't a rule doesn't mean it's not unnecessary, lol

discord not loading

[echo basalt]

If you need specific help then consider reaching out to the person directly

BUT you should only do that if the person's comfortable with that

For example I have a "Don't DM me unless work-related or asked for." because I find it annoying to be responsible for helping you

and if you have any issues now I'm on the hook to also fix those

[blazing ocean]

@eternal night

[smoky anchor]

It's not even that. Person was asking for help, this guy ping replied literally with "..." Which imo is quite annoying

[echo basalt]

TL;DR - Ask in public, be patient and someone will answer you, being picky about who helps you is overall annoying unless it's a niche issue and you guys are friends

In which case you're probably comfortable enough to reach out over DMs

Since this is little relaxed I hope. I going to say this. It takes alot to make me cry, I have not cried in years. Since someone thinking this was #general , that is why I say to bring it there.

Use unusual x repeating hex format

[blazing ocean]

oh shit yea pretty close then

[jagged thicket]

sir, this not paper!

we use whatever channel we want

(btw no hate to paper) !!

[blazing ocean]

@lynx fix it

[slender elbow]

bungee components don't directly support #rrggbb when using translateAlternatewhatever, for that you need to use §x§r§r§g§g§b§b or keep using this pattern method

bungee components have supported rgb since rgb was a thing, but the format has and will always be ass

[peak depot]

so like this wont work or what &#00bfff"Test"

[smoky anchor]

Your regex returns only one group I believe nvm, I can't read

[wanton kindle]

Do you know a utils for create Config File or a MiniGameMapManager ?

[ivory sleet]

Yep! I commented on out purely out of reaction, wanted to read through the entire convo before making any larger judgements ^^

[ivory sleet]

First of all, StringBuffer iirc synchronizes so its slow, somewhat of a crime, im not sure exactly how appendReplacement works, maybe it only replaces the group a-fA-F09 so &# is skipped since its matched outside that group?

[peak depot]

I mean if you know a better way im open for suggestions

[peak depot]

thats start and endTag the group

[ivory sleet]

?

[peak depot]

the &#

[ivory sleet]

its not inside the group

ur pattern is &#([a-fA-F0-9]{6})

notice &# is outside

[zealous scroll]

anyone know why AnvilView#getRenameText returns null but AnvilInventory#getRenameText doesn't?
My IDE's throwing errors for the latter because it's deprecated and marked for removal, but only that one works

[fair rock]

https://regex101.com/

Put in: &#([a-fA-F0-9]{6})
Type in: &#112233 (or whatever)

Hover over the blue (#&) is called Group 0
Hover over the green (112233) is called Group 1

String group = matcher.group(1);

group = 112233

i think thats what @ivory sleet mean

[slim wigeon]

Regex101 is useful

[peak depot]

so it should be like that? (&#[A-Fa-f0-9]{6})

[fair rock]

But to be fair i saw into the method of appendReplacement and it should work. The replacement "worked" and "didnt worked" at the same time

[peak depot]

yeah I dont know I know that there was a good lib for that but I dont rember its name

[fair rock]

Can you tell me what the result should be?

[peak depot]

just the string with the right hexcolor

[fair rock]

Your method prints me: "This is a message with color §x§F§F§5§7§3§3some text and §x§3§3§F§F§5§7more text!"
I dont have your error, lmao

[peak depot]

and its not the right color

[slender elbow]

or you could just use https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/23/docs/api/java.base/java/util/regex/Matcher.html#replaceAll(java.util.function.Function) and it'd be something like

static final Pattern HEX_PATTERN = Pattern.compile("&#([a-fA-F0-9]{6})");
HEX_PATTERN.matcher(string).replaceAll(match -> ChatColor.of(java.awt.Color.decode("0x" + match.group(1))).toString());

:p

[fair rock]

That looks kinda sexy, one liner

[peak depot]

doesnt work tho

wasnt there an api that was also be able to do like <color=#HEX>Message</color>?

[slender elbow]

you forgot to add the 0x

[blazing ocean]

minimessage

[slender elbow]

but what you're saying is called minimessage and not a few hours ago everyone was like "ew bundling adventure 🤢" so idk do with that as you will

[blazing ocean]

there's an easy solution to that, you'll just get bullied for mentioning it however

[fair rock]

Deinstalling all IDEs and go out and be happy?

[blazing ocean]

not quite it

[fair rock]

Update? Did you add the 0x?

[peak depot]

yeah

still

[slender elbow]

idk if the console logger supports random hex colors

[fair rock]

Question. Which version you are currently on (Minecraft)?

[peak depot]

its not logger

[slender elbow]

also windows and cmd/conhost is certainly a choice that will affect how that turns out 🌚

[peak depot]

newest bungee

1.19 iirc

[slender elbow]

don't do new TextComponent(legacy shit)

use TextComponent.fromLegacy

[fair rock]

Would be funny if its now fixed

[peak depot]

nah

no difference

[slender elbow]

try doing it in-game rather than on the console

[peak depot]

gimmi a sec

need to do a server then

why does build tools take so long

:peporage:

[proper cobalt]

any command frameworks that work on 1.7.10?

[peak depot]

brother bout to get smacked for that question

[fair rock]

I just died after reading 1.7

[peak depot]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/command-framework-1-7-1-21-4.89933/updates dont know tho

[proper cobalt]

there was a good annotation based on iirc

cant remember the name

[peak depot]

thats is anno based

[proper cobalt]

kk thx

[peak depot]

Im not hating on the version unlike rad would but what you doing in 1.7

[proper cobalt]

developing

[peak depot]

yeah but pvp or what

[ivory sleet]

MAYBeeee, acf still works on 1.7, like maybe maybe?

[proper cobalt]

yeah pretty sure thats the one i was thinking of ngl

i just dont really understand arguments on acf

[peak depot]

nah fuck this shit it was bc of fucking console

[proper cobalt]

yea

[peak depot]

also what is this game by now

I spawn somewhere in a fake swamp

wtf is a closed eyeblossom

[zealous scroll]

final float yaw = location.getYaw() + 90;
final float pitch = location.getPitch();
final float roll = 0.0f;

Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Yaw: " + yaw + " Pitch: " + pitch + " Roll: " + roll);
spawned.setHeadPose(new EulerAngle(pitch, yaw, roll));

does anyone know the math to convert yaw and pitch to a EulerAngle?

[peak depot]

final double yawRadians = Math.toRadians(location.getYaw() + 90);
final double pitchRadians = Math.toRadians(location.getPitch());
final double rollRadians = 0.0;

EulerAngle headPose = new EulerAngle(pitchRadians, 0, -yawRadians);
spawned.setHeadPose(headPose);

this should do the trick (not tested)

[zealous scroll]

ive already tried that haha it does some funky stuff

i cant get pitch working properly

[fickle spindle]

if i delete the player data (only one players data) from the folder of the main world this stats too will become null right PLAY_ONE_MINUTE?

[peak depot]

can you even use minimessage on bungee?

[fallow violet]

What packet is sent to the player when an item pops up into an item frame?

[chrome beacon]

Metadata

[restive mulch]

PacketPlayOutSpawnEntity

or EntityItemFrame,

[chrome beacon]

First one spawns the entity second one is the entity class

Neither of them sets the item

[fallow violet]

damn

so what is it?

Set enttiy metadata?

[chrome beacon]

yes

[fallow violet]

thanks

How can i get the DataWatcher of an EntityItemFrame? is there some tool that show me the real names instead of these shitty obfuscated letters?

[thorn isle]

paper userdev is cool

spigot has some specialsource shenanigans, i think they do support remapping

[restive mulch]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/sending-itemframe-packet-with-direction.563444/

[fallow violet]

The item frame already exists

i just want to set an item

and bcs the mappings have changes, i cant find the ID of the entity and i cant find the data watcher or if that has changed i cant find anything xddd

[thorn isle]

https://minidigger.github.io/MiniMappingViewer/#/mojang/server/1.21.4/

there's this if you want to look at the mappings manually

the search is kind of shit and 99% of the spigot mappings are missing, but you can probably make do with just obf and mojang names

[restive mulch]

itemFrame.setItem(new ItemStack(Material.blah blah);

or whatever alias you used for your mappings

[thorn isle]

also yes it's worth considering if you can do this through the api instead of nms/protocol

what are you trying to do exactly?

[restive mulch]

if it’s nms you’ll need to manually look

[restive mulch]

at these

[fallow violet]

I want that each player sees his own itemframe

kind of a key to a portal

so they have to input the item to unlock a portal

and each player has its own keys

[thorn isle]

if you're on paper (or maybe spigot has that now) you can use the entity visibility api to have a separate entity for each player, and have each player only see their item frame

[fallow violet]

lol

[thorn isle]

set the default visibility of the entity to false and add the player to the exception list with player.showEntity()

[fallow violet]

but everybody should see the entity

the items have to differentiate

[thorn isle]

sure

you spawn an entity for each player

so every player sees "the entity"

just the data is different for each player

[restive mulch]

on use does it change the item in the inventory and is there a way to save that data so you know if they activated/deactivated the portal?

[fallow violet]

but doesnt that lag when there are many players and many item frames?

[thorn isle]

item frames perform relatively well

how many are we talking?

[restive mulch]

shouldn’t be a issue unless you have bad hardware

[thorn isle]

if you have say 100 item frames you want to show and 20 players looking at them there'll be 2000 item frames, which is a decent bit but shouldn't be catastrophic

[fallow violet]

idk i kinda want the packet thingy to work

[thorn isle]

are you on paper?

[fallow violet]

no spigot

wait paper has packets?

[restive mulch]

craftbukkit nms would be something for you

[thorn isle]

no, but they have userdev which is a very convenient and durable way of working with nms

[slender elbow]

paper does indeed have packets

[fallow violet]

sounds good but i want the bukkit packet working first so i learn how it goes

[slender elbow]

minecraft, even

[thorn isle]

no need to fuck with obfuscation or mappings or protocollib; you'll have documented mojang mapped source to work with

[fallow violet]

i mean they have the packet classes things yk? The SpigotAPI doesnt have it but Spigot itself

[slender elbow]

"documented" is a bit of a stretch

[restive mulch]

true, i use protocollib for my animation manager 😭

[restive mulch]

you can call regular spigot just the documentation is different and vague

[thorn isle]

e.g. you can just do new ClientboundAddEntityPacket() and send it to the player

[fallow violet]

in paper?

[thorn isle]

using userdev, yes

[fallow violet]

DAMN

thats cool

[restive mulch]

yeah paper supports

a lot better

[thorn isle]

you'll get compile time errors, linting, and autocomplete suggestions, instead of having to look at wiki.vg and the minecraft wiki and trying to guess what goes where

[fallow violet]

i love paper.

[slender elbow]

heretic

[fallow violet]

:)

[restive mulch]

my old code had like less than 100 lines now my new code has 500 am i cooked

(its protocollib)

[thorn isle]

or you can get the nms itemframe and call getEntityCreatePacket() and it generates the correct packet to send

sending the metadata was a bit more involved iirc but that was just a handful of nms calls as well

[fallow violet]

alr lemme try paper things but then im on the wrong discord

[restive mulch]

sigma

[fallow violet]

bro wtf

[thorn isle]

https://github.com/PaperMC/paperweight-test-plugin

you can clone this and you should have everything you need out of the box

it uses gradle because paper devs are fucking hipsters with nothing better to do

[fallow violet]

im also using gradle... :(

[thorn isle]

https://docs.papermc.io/paper/dev/userdev

[restive mulch]

i use maven 😈

[thorn isle]

and here's a guide on it

the best thing about userdev is that since the paper server jar uses mojang mappings now, your nms plugins don't break every version as they would if you wrote them against obfuscated nms

so unless mojang actually changes some method definition somewhere or removes some class, the plugin will work across version changes without even having to rebuild it

[fallow violet]

so why do ppl still use spigot when paper has so much features?

[thorn isle]

muh tnt duper

[restive mulch]

spigot is more common than paper in the beginning of deving 😭

atleast when i was learning

[thorn isle]

paper's marketshare is like 70% or more of recent versions now i'm pretty sure

quite a few plugins have dropped spigot compatibility altogether

[fallow violet]

so you would use a typewrite when there are computers now days?

[peak depot]

wasnt there even a site where you get a bit money for each download but it only supported paper plugins?

[thorn isle]

i think the biggest issue people have with paper is that the devs can be pretty prickly and make strangely motivated design choices like deprecating all § formatting strings everywhere and going hard on preferring adventure

apart from that it's probably the number of exploits like tnt dupers and bedrock breaking that they've patched; some servers don't want that

[restive mulch]

well i started in 2014

[thorn isle]

the new api is also marked like 80% experimental so my entire ide window is yellow from "this is experimental" warnings when i work on anything post 1.19

[peak depot]

depends if I want it to have it analog and secure then yes

[fallow violet]

aah ik what you mean, i had to disable it or i would have gone insane

[slender elbow]

implying a piece of paper is more secure than E2EE

[fickle spindle]

how can i open the enchanting table with a stack of lapis?

[sullen marlin]

openEnchanting + get inventory.setslot lapis?

[fickle spindle]

but which number?

for the setslot

[sullen marlin]

Can cast and use https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/EnchantingInventory.html#setSecondary(org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack)

But probably slot 1

[thorn isle]

googling "minecraft inventory slot numbers" also shows you the numbers

it's either slot 1 or 2 iirc

the numbering scheme isn't consistent across inventories; old guis like the crafting table and furnace have the output slot as slot 0, and input slots left-to-right starting from 1

"modern" guis are left-to-right starting from 0, and iirc enchanting table is one of them

apparently the enchanting table doesn't have an output slot 🤡 i completely misremember what it looks like; but yes, it's slot 1

[fallow violet]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[fallow violet]

Why does this always returns null, looking at the item frame also:
https://paste.md-5.net/fomoheneda.coffeescript

[sullen marlin]

What message is there

[fallow violet]

RacTrace null

misspelled

oh wait

now something has changed

It does hit the player lol i need to filter it...

[jagged thicket]

Is there any event like CraftItemEvent, which fires only when you pick up an item after craffting?

[eternal night]

What is the exact usecase? Once the recipe is done, there isn't much you can do

[jagged thicket]

To provide advancements and such, like when you craft 1000 stick you are "THE STICK MASTER"

smth like that

or can you already do that

[thorn isle]

uuuh

[eternal night]

There is a criteria trigger for RECIPE_CRAFTED

yea

[thorn isle]

you can listen to the statistic increment event on that

i sort of remembered that the craftitemevent would only fire when you actually take the item out because only then is the thing crafted, and that there'd be a CraftPrepareEvent or something for when the recipe in the grid is completed

but it looks like i remember wrong

[jagged thicket]

CraftItemEvent is kinda sus, it fires even when u click a crafted recipie with a full stack of items on cursor

[eternal night]

Well it is just a fancy InventoryClickEvent

[fallow violet]

So i got packets working with the mojang mappings. I heard that its against the eula or something to use these mappings in production. Couldnt i just obfuscate my whole plugin instead of implementing a tool that obfuscated the mojang mappings again?

[thorn isle]

it's fine to use a mojang-mapped plugin

redistributing a mojang-mapped server isn't

which is why paper builds an obfuscated server and then remaps it

[slender elbow]

wat

redistributing the server in any shape or form is no bueno

[thorn isle]

myes

[eternal night]

but you may not redistribute the mappings complete and unmodified

is the only restriction on them

[thorn isle]

that's why paperclip grabs the regular vanilla server from mojang, which is fine

and then applies the paper patches, which are distributed in the paperclip jar

[slender elbow]

that doesn't sound like building an obfuscated server and then remapping it

[fallow violet]

so i just obfuscate everything

[slender elbow]

but sure

[thorn isle]

remapping comes after that, yes

[eternal night]

hm?

[thorn isle]

the end result is a mojang-mapped paper server

[fallow violet]

does this sentence tell me its not allowed to redistribute the mappings in my plugin?

[thorn isle]

that's not what it means

[eternal night]

You cannot include the mappings file in your plugin

your plugin can reference the mapped names just fine (I am not a lawyer jada jada jada)

[thorn isle]

paper takes care of applying the mappings

[eternal night]

what

[blazing ocean]

should've just used yarn smh

[fallow violet]

so i can just code with the mappings and be fine?

[thorn isle]

yes

[fallow violet]

thanks

[eternal night]

do note, running a plain mojang mapped jar will only work on paper

spigot does not support that, you'll need to reobfuscate

[fallow violet]

so how can i do this? I heard abt a maven plugin but im using gradle and i dont know how to include it there xd

[eternal night]

?nms

[undone axle]

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

[slender elbow]

jeff-blog.media

[eternal night]

has a "when using gradle" part

[fallow violet]

lol thanks

[thorn isle]

see the gradle build in the userdev test plugin i linked

  // Only relevant for 1.20.4 or below, or when you care about supporting Spigot on >=1.20.5:
  /*
  reobfJar {
    // This is an example of how you might change the output location for reobfJar. It's recommended not to do this
    // for a variety of reasons, however it's asked frequently enough that an example of how to do it is included here.
    outputJar = layout.buildDirectory.file("libs/PaperweightTestPlugin-${project.version}.jar")
  }
   */

uncomment this, basically

[eternal night]

Spigot has it's own way, I'd go with this if they target spigot

[thorn isle]

this reobfuscates the plugin, which will work 1:1 on spigot servers (and get mojang-mapped again on paper servers at runtime)

also an option

[slim wigeon]

As I about to insert this new Toshiba HDD into my dock, I see this. Don't tell me there is another spigot

[remote swallow]

hes talking about paperweight defaulting to not running reobf anymore

so hes probably saying use the gradle plugin listed on the ?nms command as its more targetted to spigot

[short pilot]

update on the custom mobs, i made this example that seemed to work; the wither skeleton only targeted cows

I was wondering how to make the target goals conditional

eg: Targets entities only if they are type player, and belong to specific faction ID

public class CustomWitherSkeleton extends WitherSkeleton {

    public CustomWitherSkeleton(Level world) {
        super(EntityType.WITHER_SKELETON, world);
        this.collides = false;
        this.expToDrop = 0;
        this.goalSelector = new GoalSelector(world.getProfilerSupplier());
        this.targetSelector = new GoalSelector(world.getProfilerSupplier());
        this.setInvulnerable(true);
        this.setCanPickUpLoot(false);
        this.setAggressive(false);
        this.setCustomNameVisible(true);
        this.goalSelector.addGoal(1, new MeleeAttackGoal(this, 1.0D, true));
        this.targetSelector.addGoal(1, new NearestAttackableTargetGoal<>(this, Cow.class, true));
    }

}

[tranquil pecan]

Make your custom goal

[short pilot]

gotcha, any docs i can look at for that ?

cute pfp

[young vine]

Check Bukkit.getMobGoals()

Can implement the goal interface then

[languid falcon]

I'm trying to make a game selector. Imagine; as a lobby, we spawn players in the void and there is 3 galaxy schematics standing next to it. I want to lock the mouse cursor of player. For example, If player move its mouse to left, we should lock the cursor at the galaxy on the left, If player move its mouse to right, we should lock the cursor at the galaxy on the right. Is there any way to do it without having glitched perspective?

[smoky anchor]

Time for spectator hack ?

[languid falcon]

I can't even think of a way right now

[tranquil pecan]

@Override
public void onPlayerInteract(Player player, PlayerInteractEvent event) {
    Vector upwardBoost = new Vector(0, launchStrength, 0);
    player.setVelocity(player.getVelocity().add(upwardBoost));

    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(BetLeftyItems.INSTANCE, () -> {
        player.setVelocity(new Vector(0, -slamStrength, 0));

        for (Entity entity : player.getWorld().getNearbyEntities(player.getLocation(), radius, radius, radius)) {
            if (entity instanceof LivingEntity && !(entity instanceof Player)) {
                ((LivingEntity) entity).damage(damage, player);
            }
        }
    }, 20L);
}

Why doesn't it damage any mobs?

The velocity thing works

and i can hit mobs with hand and other stuff

[outer tendon]

Try logging information about the entities in the loop to make sure that it's grabbing a list of entities.

[tranquil pecan]

ok

[fair rock]

You grab your entities 1 second later after using the item & getting the boost

So the player location is in the air and not on the ground. Depending how fast he travels in the air and how big the radius is you never grab the entities on the ground

[tranquil pecan]

Do you think this is enough it fix this?

@Override
public void onPlayerInteract(Player player, PlayerInteractEvent event) {
    Vector upwardBoost = new Vector(0, launchStrength, 0);
    player.setVelocity(player.getVelocity().add(upwardBoost));

    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(BetLeftyItems.INSTANCE, () -> {
        new BukkitRunnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                if (player.isOnGround()) {
                    player.setVelocity(new Vector(0, -slamStrength, 0));

                    for (Entity entity : player.getWorld().getNearbyEntities(player.getLocation(), radius, radius, radius)) {
                        if (entity instanceof LivingEntity && !(entity instanceof Player)) {
                            ((LivingEntity) entity).damage(damage, player);
                        }
                    }
                    this.cancel();
                }
            }
        }.runTaskTimer(BetLeftyItems.INSTANCE, 0L, 2L); 
    }, 20L);
}

[fair rock]

Nah you misunderstood

Just save the player location before running the runTaskLater

@Override
public void onPlayerInteract(Player player, PlayerInteractEvent event) {
    Vector upwardBoost = new Vector(0, launchStrength, 0);
    player.setVelocity(player.getVelocity().add(upwardBoost));
    Location boostLocation = player.getLocation(); // Position where he used the boost
    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(BetLeftyItems.INSTANCE, () -> {
        player.setVelocity(new Vector(0, -slamStrength, 0));

        for (Entity entity : player.getWorld().getNearbyEntities(boostLocation , radius, radius, radius)) {
            if (entity instanceof LivingEntity && !(entity instanceof Player)) {
                ((LivingEntity) entity).damage(damage, player);
            }
        }
    }, 20L);
}

[tranquil pecan]

Oh dang

i didn't think of it

Thanks

[fair rock]

Is your goal like a pressure wave that damages nearby entities like a rocket start or something?

[tranquil pecan]

It's like player goes up and comes down with high velocity dealing damage to nearby enemy

nothing else

more velocity = more damage didn't add it yet

[fair rock]

Okay just a tip, dont say it isnt working. Tell next time your goal and then the code. Because from the code its look like a pressure wave damage. But that was my mistake to not ask

[tranquil pecan]

okay 👍

[hushed spindle]

how come a bunch of item meta functionality was removed in spigot 1.21.4? that was present in 1.21.3?

like setGlider or setTooltipStyle

[chrome beacon]

Those still exist in the api?

[smoky anchor]

setGlider
Was it ? https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/ItemMeta.html#setGlider(boolean)

[hushed spindle]

uh, yeah my bad

i must have entered 1.20.4 instead i guess

[orchid trout]

is there a way to turn a ConfigurationSection into a YamlConfiguration?

im trying to separate a section from a file, and place it into another file

but i cant really see how to use ConfigurationSection properly

is there another way to get all values in a section?

[wet breach]

yamlconfiguration is a file, a ConfigurationSection is a section inside the file

[wet breach]

[magic crystal]

what's the proper way to maintain backwards compatibility with the enum changes to Particle and Potions, etc across 1.20 and 1.21? I can't find a mapping of them, for example what's the new name for Particle.SPELL_MOB?

Hawkfalcon originally created it, then I joined his project and it eventually just became all my code. Then he gave exclusive rights to me after he decided to kind of leave the scene

so yes I did create ServerTutorial, but not originally

As of right now, there was one other person who pr'ed some stuff

but now it just sits there being neglected but many people have forked it I think lol

created back in 2013

Hello, I am trying to make an bar above hunger bar which can display power, I have full power system but I can´t get throught this someone know how to do it?

[chrome beacon]

You'd use the actionbar

[white crescent]

Yes, but I can´t but it above hunger bar

it is locked in the middle of screen

[chrome beacon]

You can add spacing characters

if you use a resourcepack*

[white crescent]

I´ve tried but it doesnt work

[chrome beacon]

Does work

[white crescent]

Can I send you picture how I want it

[chrome beacon]

?img

[undone axle]

Can't send images? That's because you're not verified! Use !verify to complete verification.
Alternatively, you can upload screenshots to any image hosting site and share the link.

Here's some screenshot utilities that you can use to upload images.

[chrome beacon]

Yeah that's doable with a resourcepack

[white crescent]

So make action bar with custom characters and space them?
