[thorn crypt]

Thank you !

is it normal that I can do getAge() but not getMaximumAge ? 🤔
"Cannot resolve method 'getMaximumAge' in 'Ageable'"

Ageable ageable = (Ageable) blockData;
int age = ageable.getAge(); // works
int maxAge = ageable.getMaximumAge(); // do not works

[chrome beacon]

Make sure you have the right import

[thorn crypt]

Oh yeah, it imported the entity one 😭
Thanks !!

[fair rock]

Where didnt see it, can you make it a bit more obvious? xD

[blazing ocean]

there you go

[fair rock]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH XD

Where did MrBeast and Subway Surfer came from

[quaint mantle]

Is it possible to send a message to player if they are offline?

Saving it to a hashmap or something?

[blazing ocean]

I mean who is it gonna get sent to if they're not online

[quaint mantle]

Store the information of the player when they join and if they are offline do this?

[unborn kiln]

You could just save the message to a hashmap to queue it up, wait for a player join, when they join you can send the message. I feel like there's usually a bigger purpose though and 100% a better way to tie it into the system that would execute it

[chrome beacon]

Yeah I don't recommend using a hashmap if you plan on storing that message for long

Save it to an SQLite db or smth

[quaint mantle]

When a player joins the server, save their data (UUID) to a YAML file. Check if they are online or offline. If they are online, send them the message. If they are offline, save their uuid to the YAML and then send the message to the player when they logon?

[unborn kiln]

I assume that for any hardcoded message that needs to be sent to a player, it would be sent relatively soon. Otherwise an action or execution can be queued up differently

[unborn kiln]

In this case, I'd recommend a DB

[quaint mantle]

I'm guessing there is no need of hashmap if I am doing it this way? Just direct interaction with the flat file

Time to watch another kody simpson video

[tidal fog]

how would i go about detecting if there is a structure at specific coordinates? since im assuming nesting if statments isnt the best way to do this

[slender elbow]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#getStructures(int,int)
why would you need nested if statements anyway?

[tidal fog]

i was refering to checking each block individually, mb i shouldve mentioned its a custom structure thats meant to be player made

wouldnt be made naturally

[slender elbow]

well, it really depends on what you consider to be a "structure" then

is a single block of cobblestone a structure?

is a dirt hut?

[tidal fog]

i mean its a specific build im gonna be checking for when a mob dies

[eternal oxide]

You need some way to define the Size/location of the structure

As Emily said, is a single block placed by a player a structure?

[tidal fog]

no i would be checking for lets say a 3x3x3 cobblestone cube

it would always be the same

[eternal oxide]

If you have to search for it within a specific range then use Chunksnapshot

do it Async

[tidal fog]

i dont think thats needed it would be at specific cords

[eternal oxide]

if you know the coords then yes just a nested for loop

[tidal fog]

like when a mob dies (so some event listener) check for the cube right under it

[eternal oxide]

if its a 3x3 its a bit harder as the mob could have been on any of the top 9 blocks

[tidal fog]

id want it to be only in the middle block or some other one

just the middle block

[eternal oxide]

just the middle, then yes a simple nested for loop

[tidal fog]

so like just if(mob.y-1 == cobble && etc etc)?

[eternal oxide]

if its always going ot be in teh middle one java for(x... { for(y... { for(z... { }}}

as you need to check all 27 blocks

[tidal fog]

alr thanks, just for my curiosity is there some library for this? like if the 'structure' was huge

and out of different blocks

[eternal oxide]

then I'd say use teh Structure API as Emily also suggested

a Structure has a boundingbox you can check if you are within

[true wind]

Is there a way to detect if a player presses the L key and not have the advancements screen open?

I used protocollib but it only lasted for a millisecond because I closed all the screens

[chrome beacon]

You can't prevent it from opening

You can only close it

[tranquil pecan]

How do i set head texture in 1.21 (spigot) my old code throws error

    public static ItemStack setTexture(ItemStack skull, String texture) {
        if (skull == null || texture == null || texture.isEmpty()) return skull;
        if (skull.getType() != Material.PLAYER_HEAD) return skull;

        SkullMeta meta = (SkullMeta) skull.getItemMeta();
        if (meta == null) return skull;

        GameProfile profile = new GameProfile(UUID.randomUUID(), null);
        profile.getProperties().put("textures", new Property("textures", texture));

        try {
            Field profileField = meta.getClass().getDeclaredField("profile");
            profileField.setAccessible(true);
            profileField.set(meta, profile);
        } catch (NoSuchFieldException | IllegalAccessException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        skull.setItemMeta(meta);
        return skull;
    }```

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

[slender elbow]

use the profile api

[tranquil pecan]

But it needs paper api

[slender elbow]

no?

[chrome beacon]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/creating-custom-heads-in-spigot-1-18-1/

[slender elbow]

spigot has a functional profile api

[tranquil pecan]

oh ok

that will work

thanks

[upper hazel]

I will be doing a command system on anotations advise me on the way. Manual registration vs reflection

what better use

[blazing ocean]

I made an annotation processor that creates a delegate Command impl for my commands and registers them to a service

[upper hazel]

so you use reflection?

[blazing ocean]

well I use service loaders, which would qualify as reflection ig

[polar forge]

hey guys, whats the best way to store data about broken/placed blocks by players?

[upper hazel]

I'm asking specifically about the part where subcommands will be registered in the commandExecutor impl

[blazing ocean]

what

[upper hazel]

subcommands

[blazing ocean]

right what about them

[polar forge]

subcommands like /lp user meta

[upper hazel]

yea

[storm edge]

Does anybody know how to create a item, that works like creative items, but In surival( Infinity uses). For example: A bonemeal, that you can place infinitely in surival?

[blazing ocean]

right what about them

[polar forge]

can u explain more?

[upper hazel]

i try undestand what be better: manual registation for api user or reflection and annotations

[storm edge]

So if I use a comment, I get an item with mending 10 or something and I I place it in surival, it should come back, that you can place it again and this infinitely

[upper hazel]

registration process

not executing

process

[remote swallow]

do whatever you prefer

[upper hazel]

this plugin will be for people

i want find better choice

this will be mvc controller commands

but if this not metter i choice classic option

and use system like bukkit event handlers

[remote swallow]

do what ever you feel like you would want and use that

[blazing ocean]

I just like ```kt
@AutoRegistered
public val TestCommand: Command = Command("test") {
executor { sendMessage(text("Hi!!!")) }

sub("one") {
val id by arg("id", stringParser())

playerExecutor { _ ->
  sendMessage(text("id: $id"))
}

}

sub("two") {
val num by arg("number", integerParser())

executor {
  sendMessage(text("number: $num"))
}

sub("three") {
  executor { sendMessage(text("omg: $num")) }
}

}
}

[upper hazel]

alr

[storm edge]

?

[young knoll]

You’d have to use events to prevent its consumption/give it back after each use

[polar forge]

hey guys

So, i installed MySQL on my vds, on which my server is installed

[quaint mantle]

https://paste.md-5.net/fifamuniwa.xml
This is the pom file

[polar forge]

there is a plugin which requires a MySQL database

so the host is just my domain right?

the ip?

it asks for host; database; username; password;

[quaint mantle]

Yeah, the machine on which you host the mysql server

[polar forge]

well i used just my domain and it didnt work

it says "Host (ip) is not allowed to connect to MySQL"

[chrome beacon]

Try calling Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC"); before you use it

[polar forge]

Im using LogBlock btw

[chrome beacon]

Also not sure if shading is a good idea

Spigot already contains SQLite

[polar forge]

Any idea why?

[chrome beacon]

connect using localhost

[polar forge]

Ill try

it works thx!

[quaint mantle]

Oh, it worked?

Thank you Olivo

[polar forge]

yep strange

[storm edge]

I tried it, but it didn’t work, so you have an example for a code?

[thorn isle]

what did you try and how did it not work

[storm edge]

I used the BlockPlaceEvent to track the item which i placed, I made a message that appears if the block was placed, and a command to give the item back to the player, but only the message worked and the item wasn’t infinity usable

[thorn isle]

a command?

[storm edge]

I mean a line of code, that gives the player that item that he placed

[lost matrix]

Show us your code and explain what you expect to happen

[young knoll]

Delay it a tick

That’s my guess

[storm edge]

For that I need to turn on my pc, but I can’t do it rn. I want to create a custom item that can be placed while retaining its enchantments or other properties. However, after placing the item, it should return to my inventory, making it infinitely reusable.

[lost matrix]

Simply increasing the stack size by one within the event should work just fine

@EventHandler(ignoreCancelled=true)
public void onPlace(BlockPlaceEvent event) {
  ItemStack item = event.getItemInHand();
  item.setAmount(item.getAmount() + 1);
}

[storm edge]

The amount will stay at 1 item? During the event

[rotund ravine]

He means to increase it by 1 so when 1 is subtracted due to placement 1 is still left

[quaint mantle]

1 - 1 = 1

[storm edge]

Okay, I wil try that tomorrow, thank you guys

[lost matrix]

[rotund ravine]

[summer scroll]

How can I give myself an item with custom model data on 1.21.4?
I know that on newer version, it's using custom model data components but is it possible to use the old way? Like similar to /give @a netherite_sword{CustomModelData:1}

[slender elbow]

tbh you should be using item models now

e.g. /give @s stick{item_model="minecraft:iron_sword"}

just, the model can be anything if you provide it in a resource pack

[summer scroll]

What if I want to add support from 1.20 for example?

[slender elbow]

well the resource pack is gonna be different anyway as the format has changed

[young knoll]

Woo pack overlays

[slender elbow]

at best what you can do is keep using the setCustomModelData(Integer) method

and work your updated resource pack around the updated format for that too

it's just pain

[summer scroll]

It's a pain I agree

But there's no way to give item with texture using custom model data number on 1.21.4?

[young knoll]

There is

[slender elbow]

the format has changed, there is no "old way"

[young knoll]

I believe it’s using the integer value in custom model data

[slender elbow]

custom model data now is a list of floats, colors, and some other stuff

[slender elbow]

,

[summer scroll]

I mean using commands

[slender elbow]

the int would just be the first float in the list of floats

custom_model_data={floats:[1.0f]}

old cmd has effectively been replaced with item_model, new cmd works differently

[young knoll]

Ah there’s only floats not ints

[slender elbow]

floats, flags, strings, colors

[summer scroll]

Thank you, will try that out.

[slender elbow]

but the way resource packs work around cmd is just different

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_24w45a#General_2

[young knoll]

That’s why you use a pack overlay

Or just have 2 separate packs

[slender elbow]

god damn AMD and their servers that don't work

[chrome beacon]

hm? What's wrong?

[slender elbow]

can't launch game because requires driver update
can't update driver because amd download server is down

truly the most desperate of situations

this is most saddening

[young knoll]

How long has it been since you’ve updated drivers 0_o

[slender elbow]

idk

[summer scroll]

When was the custom model data become components, is it 1.21.3 or 1.21.2?

[slender elbow]

.4

[slender elbow]

generally it doesn't matter, and it actually didn't matter until today because the game got an update and now it refuses to launch without a driver update, it worked yesterday

pft

[young knoll]

What game smh

[slender elbow]

GTA V :intjfall:

I damn Rockstar, but God may damn AMD

[young knoll]

GTA infinite, because the next game never comes out

Just like the elder scrolls infinite

[slender elbow]

The V in GTA V was originally indicative of how many times they would release the game

[young knoll]

I assume that applies to the elder scrolls V as well

[chrome beacon]

Did you reload the pom

[tranquil glen]

Oh yeah that fixed it, I forgot to delete this

[tranquil glen]

thank you

[robust saffron]

Could someone point me in the right direction for correctly setting up NMS in eclipse? More specifically, is there a way I can add com.mojang.authlib to the project build path without maven? Are there any jar files built from BuildTools.jar that comes with the package?

[sly topaz]

is there a specific reason you don't want to use maven/gradle

because you ultimately should, it may be confusing at the beginning but you'll get the hang of it fast

[robust saffron]

Ngl, I'm just stuck in my ways. Is maven/gradle the only option?

[sly topaz]

not the only option, just the easiest

if you want to have NMS without a build system, you can probably take the server jar from the cache folder after running it once and use that

you won't have all the niceties like mojang mappings though so it'll be a bit rougher to work with

[wise zenith]

Trying to remap a spigot server for NMS development purposes (1.20.4).
java -jar SpecialSource.jar -m 1.20.4.txt -i paper-1.20.4.jar -o result.jar -live -reverse
Everything seems to work fine, but the output jar isn't remapped (or is but only partially). What can be the reason?

[sly topaz]

that isn't spigot but paper

they have a completely different remapping system, you should use theirs for their jars

[wise zenith]

Isn't the NMS mapping same for them

Otherwise NMS plugins wouldn't work for both spigot and paper at the same time

[sly topaz]

not quite, no

paper remaps things at runtime to keep them working when using spigot mappings

to begin with, the paper jar isn't even a minecraft server jar but a bootstrap so it wouldn't be the thing you want to be remapping

[wise zenith]

I'm remapping the correct jar tho

That's not the server jar itself

Decompiled

That's the library that goes in server/libraries and has both bukkit and nms stuff

[sly topaz]

that's the right jar, but I don't believe it'll just work if you pass it through special source

[wise zenith]

Normally I reference it and manually write NMS code pre-obfuscated but that's really messy and time comsuming

So

[sly topaz]

is there a particular reason you aren't just using paperweight

it should work just fine for 1.20.4

[wise zenith]

Not very familiar with it, let me check

[sullen marlin]

?whereami

[undone axle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/864180468680360027/944415049462714469/whereami.mp4

[sullen marlin]

?nms

[undone axle]

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

[wise zenith]

Ok that works

But can it be configured to remap for multiple versions at once

Like If I have an interface for each version 1.20.4, 1.20.5, etc

[carmine mica]

need separate modules pretty sure

[orchid brook]

Why when i connect to the server the chunk where i'am is triggered 2 time in the ChunkLoad event?

[mortal vortex]

chat, imagine you're dealing with a language which, in essence is Java 7. Except String isnt actually java.util.String, but rather that with all the methods removed (except for length), so no; String.charAt(), String.getBytes, etc.

With that in mind, how could I convert a string to a char array?

[blazing ocean]

doesn't String impl CharSequence or something

[eternal oxide]

if you have no methods other than length you can't unless the language has some kind of pointers

[blazing ocean]

what language anyway

[wise zenith]

Does it allow to get a char by accessing it like an array i.g string[0]

[mortal vortex]

wait good point lemme see

[wise zenith]

If so, just iterate over it and copy to a char array

[mortal vortex]

Nope

[mortal vortex]

Its a java 8 interpreter running in JS.

[blazing ocean]

why not just use jagell

jshell

cannot fucking type

[mortal vortex]

I didnt have a choice?

This is how they have String defined.

[blazing ocean]

do they just not have the stdlib or what

[mortal vortex]

no

its being interpreted

[blazing ocean]

why do you even need to use this anyway

[mortal vortex]

University.

thats all I'll say.

so limited

[blazing ocean]

oh god

[mortal vortex]

here's what the author said:

Believe it or not but it's built with ReactJS and Typescript. Not a line in Java. I built a custom compiler from Java to Javascript based on JavaAST. As a result we do not support full Java 8 specification but a pretty big part of it.

So yeah, its actually not java at all.

[blazing ocean]

totally not cursed at all

[sly topaz]

did they provide you this or did you have to code this out

because that isn't a string if it only has a length field

I guess if you are to be parsing a contiguous memory segment, it could be a thing, but that would only be the case under constraints like char size not being an issue

[mortal vortex]

provided, its a "lib"

[sly topaz]

how is char defined

given String is just a length field, creating a char array would essentially be just creating a slice from start of the currently read memory segment to the String's length field

[jagged thicket]

Why are u using vscode?

[pseudo hazel]

thats clearly the biggest crime of all

[upper hazel]

I was wondering why we need a Listener interface for event listeners? It doesn't have any methods or fields it can pass. And needless to say, it guarantees that the class has @EventHandler anotations etc. The class is registered manually, not automatically.

[rotund ravine]

Meh

Just for something specific to pass to the method

[upper hazel]

what specific ?

[ivory sleet]

Just a design choice; having a marker interface that is

[upper hazel]

lol

[ivory sleet]

Like RandomAccess or CompletableFuture.AsynchronousCompletionTask

[upper hazel]

for beauty, huh?

[ivory sleet]

Na not really

[upper hazel]

I can't find any other explanation

There's no guarantees, so there's no point.

[ivory sleet]

That’s weird, I seem to find quite rigorous explanations on the Javadoc page for example

[upper hazel]

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

[ivory sleet]

No I meant the built in ones

[upper hazel]

can you give scrinshoot ?

or text

[mortal vortex]

its in the browser.

[sly topaz]

the interface is a guarantee in of itself

it tells the developer the class contains event handlers

[upper hazel]

how does he guarantee it?

[sly topaz]

by making it a requirement on the registration

[upper hazel]

how such a requirement guarantees that the class contains @EventHandler methods and anotations

no need to talk about the visual aspect

[sly topaz]

it doesn't guarante that the class contains event handlers, it guarantees that its intention is to have them

[upper hazel]

so this just visual aspect

[sly topaz]

no, because you can act on that intent

[upper hazel]

.

[upper hazel]

it's not a guarantee

[sly topaz]

i.e., if it doesn't have event handlers, the registration system can decide to throw an exception to tell you there is no event handlers

[upper hazel]

do you know what the word “guarantee” means?

[sly topaz]

let me ask you the same question, do you know?

the guarantee is on the intent of the developer, it tells the registration system that the class is meant to be used for a certain purpose

without it, you could just pass any class to the registration system, and it can't know for sure what you want to do with it

[upper hazel]

guarantee means that the result will always be what you expect to see, not an obligation to act.

I'm asking about the practicality of this interface

[sly topaz]

that's quite literally not the case, by definition

[upper hazel]

Well, then the word has several definitions

[sly topaz]

a guarantee is an assurance that certain intent will be held, however that doesn't imply the result willl be the same even if these guarantees are held, as it doesn't consider side-effects

[sly topaz]

the practicality is that you can define certain behaviors in the registration system by having the explicit intenet of the developer marked with the interface

i.e., if the top class is annotated with Listener, then all inner-classes will also be counted for event handlers

(that is an example of a behavior that could be decided upon that intent, not necessarily what happens)

[upper hazel]

the law isn't a guarantee then?

[sly topaz]

the law isn't a guarantee, no. Otherwise judges wouldn't be needed

[upper hazel]

Programmers strive to minimize the risk of errors in a program. The only purpose of an interface that I see is simply to warn the developer who is trying to create an event listener or just to visually indicate what kind of class it is.

If that's called a warranty, I don't know what to say.

[sly topaz]

I think you are misunderstanding who the interface is useful for

the interface serves little use to a plugin developer, as they only have the obligation to use it. The only practical use a plugin developer could find is that where they are developing a framework around the event system and implementing automatic event registration, as it helps to discard classes which are well, not listeners

the practicality here is for the registration system, which can make decisions based on the implementation of the interface

[upper hazel]

If an interface has no methods of its own, then it serves no real purpose. If this interface didn't exist, nothing would change.

[sly topaz]

now, could a different marker than an interface be used? Definitely, given event registration is manual

[upper hazel]

for listener class

[sly topaz]

I just explained the usage of the interface, it serves as a marker

[upper hazel]

marker this just visual aspect

from a profit standpoint, it doesn't make sense

[wraith dagger]

mappings?

mappings

guys i forgot the bot command mapping

what that

?mappings

[undone axle]

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

[wraith dagger]

oh here

[sly topaz]

it isn't if the registration system takes advantage of it, it would be if it was only there for plugin developers to differentiate between listeners and non-listeners

[upper hazel]

why this need if you can check annotations inside class

like @EventHandler

[sly topaz]

because that isn't enough when anonymous classes, inner classes, method-level classes exist

[upper hazel]

what difference does it make if the registration is manual. It's the developer's fault

[sly topaz]

registration is manual for classes, not for the methods so the line gets blurry

[upper hazel]

and what would that lead to for example?

[sly topaz]

the marker is there for the lack of explicit-ness with the registration, it could have been done differently but this si the way they decided to go about it

[upper hazel]

Okay, I'll take martker as a means of minimizing risk if the warranty isn't what I think it is.

but still, it's like it's got multiple definitions.

If predictability is minimization, fine. but on a percentage basis, it looks not very good

option

this is like @NotNull vs @NonNull from lombok

but if i want minimize risk i choice lombok

[sly topaz]

@EventHandler
public void onEventHandler(SomeEvent idk) {
  class Idk {
    public void somethingElse(SomeEvent passed) {
    }
  }
  var test = new Idk(idk);
}

[upper hazel]

uh

i dont think compiler accept it

[sly topaz]

what happens here, does it register both methods since the top-level method has an @EventHandler annotation or or we register the top-level method only

[sly topaz]

it definitely will, that's just a method with a local class

[upper hazel]

listener will just invoke method

[sly topaz]

public abstract class EventDefiner {
  @EventHandler
  abstract void onEvent(SomeEvent idk);
}
public class SomeOtherClass extends EventDefiner {
  @EventHandler
  public void onEvent(SomeOtherEvent idk) {
    
  }
}

what happens here

do I register both events, or only one if I had only passed SomeOtherClass to registerEvent

[upper hazel]

well listener manager should validate it

abstact class can impl interface

[sly topaz]

I mean, sure, we could put artificial limitations like not allowing @EventHandler on abstract methods, but this is what I am talking about here when I say it isn't enough

with Listener being a thing, the registration doesn't have to make guesses on what exactly the developer intended to do with these, as one would implement Listener and the other wouldn't

not necessarily what happens in real-life, as Listener doesn't get used as exhaustively of a check, but you get the point

[upper hazel]

wait, this example is not accurate because manual registration will forward the class object.

[ivory sleet]

At the end of the day, I doubt it’d have mattered much if we could just pass any object to a bukkit event executor as the “listener”

Like it really isn’t that deep, its a design choice that was made like what now? 10 years ago almost if not even more

[upper hazel]

nothing will change even if the abstract class has a marker

marker will not give protection against such a problem

[upper hazel]

And in some cases, it has drawbacks. For example, Serializable interface.

[sly topaz]

it definitely wasn't, I was just bored enough lol

[ivory sleet]

I mean if you wanna havoc your own code so be it, worse comes to worst you can just retrieve the unsafe instance and fuck up whatever you want

[ivory sleet]

Yes but everything has drawbacks

Zero cost abstractions are not a thing (imo)

[upper hazel]

in this case, it's bad.

[ivory sleet]

What is?

[upper hazel]

Well, you say that like you're justifying the Serizable marker.

but it's more trouble than it's worth.

[ivory sleet]

Bro, Serializable has been with us since java 1 literally, it’s the worst example anyone can provide, your argument is flawed

[upper hazel]

lol

[ivory sleet]

Fair, more so said it to ilmir

[ivory sleet]

This is also a terrible example

[upper hazel]

not really

[ivory sleet]

like in the real world you probably use checkers framework

yes really

You likely use the null checker from checker’s framework to prove your program’s null safety

[upper hazel]

so this better then just marker

[ivory sleet]

No its a different problem, marker is just a marker

Checker’s framework add null restricted types etc

[slim wigeon]

I watching a youtube series made by Direwolf20 and from Lets play Season 5 - 1.4.6, there is this item that auto supply when he places a block such as cobblestone. I trying to create that using my portable chests but I don't know how to get the max stack size of a material like cobblestone is 64. I tried the following code and I not seeing anything if( inv.contains(item) && !player.getInventory().contains(new ItemStack(item.getType(),item.getMaxStackSize())) ) { player.sendMessage("Item Added x1"); return; }

[ivory sleet]

Like a marker interface is just an empty interface, not a class (you lose multiple inheritance)

Yes there are cases where its used poorly

but most of those cases come from design choices back in the days when we didn’t know what was good, when you weren’t a developer even so

[ivory sleet]

Isn’t that hidden behind a data component now?

But there’s probably some method in Material or ItemType to find the default max stack size I reckon ^^

[slim wigeon]

I don't know what you mean by hidden but I cannot really show you what I mean because I watching it offline. yt-dlp but if you know how I can get the default stack size, that be helpful to make this auto supply

[upper hazel]

sounds like an antipaternity/paternity problem.

[ivory sleet]

It’s not

I mean like don’t get me wrong, there are terrible choices everywhere, in bukkit, in the jdk etc, but its not like we can just flip the switch and change that right now when entire eco systems depend on these suboptimal choices

[upper hazel]

I mean, some places need antipatterns and some don't, no matter what society calls them. In the case of the markers, people were following a path they knew.

[ivory sleet]

You don’t know what antipattern means then

[upper hazel]

an antipattern is a pattern that harms the architecture as I understand it.

so this is why call anti

[slim wigeon]

This is what I was talking about.
https://web.archive.org/web/20180220043240/http://forestryforminecraft.info/other:backpacks

[ivory sleet]

Material::getMaxStackSize exists

that method also exists on ItemType and ItemStack ^^

and even on the scary ItemMeta

[slim wigeon]

I just noticed and I did not enable the auto supply so it was ignoring the chest item. Thanks for helping me. I will make sure I have the proper values set

[slim wigeon]

I got another issue. I don't know if its how getMaxStackSize works but when I use +1 or -1 as shown below if( inv.contains(item) && !player.getInventory().contains(new ItemStack(item.getType(),item.getType().getMaxStackSize()+1)) ) { player.sendMessage("Item Added x1"); return; }The code does not really work, any fixes?

[jagged thicket]

why are you adding 1 to the maximum limit

are u sure that is possible ?

(i don't know what im talking about)

[young knoll]

You probably want containsAtLeast

[torn badge]

Never seen someone philosophize about marker interfaces for hours

[glossy laurel]

If inv contains item and player's inventory doesn'r contain the same item type but with stack size that is 1 above the limit:
send "Item Added x1" to player

Does that sound right to you?

[rotund ravine]

Why would it be one above the limit

[glossy laurel]

Material#getMaxStackSize+1

[rotund ravine]

Why i ask you

[glossy laurel]

I dont know

[rotund ravine]

For the first call atleast.

[glossy laurel]

Ask MrnateGeek

[rotund ravine]

Ohh i thought u were the guy

[rotund ravine]

Remember contain on an ItemStack looks for that exact item with the same stacksize too

[glossy laurel]

Like I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve but I don't think you understand what you're doint tbh

[glossy laurel]

Is it compared with equals or ==?

[rotund ravine]

containsAtleast is what he’d want to ignore things like amountleft

/ currentstacksize/amount

[glossy laurel]

I guess?

But what is he trying to do

Check if a player has 2 stacks of an item?

And why is the result of the message "Item Added x1"

Cuz from what I see it seems like he's trying to modify an item stack in a condition

[rotund ravine]

I think he’s just trying to see if the current amount of said item is not currently full?

And that he has atleast one

[glossy laurel]

Well, if its smth like that then this is done horribly...

[slim wigeon]

On the direwolf20 Lets Play Season 5 - 1.4.6, you see a item from forestry I think its called that has these backpacks that keeps one stack of cobblestone for a example so I was trying to re-create that. I just used a timer and it works as shown on the Lets Play series

[glossy laurel]

Okay?..

So like a bundle?

Or what

[slim wigeon]

The feature in action

Watch the inv

[glossy laurel]

Sure?...

[slim wigeon]

You see what I trying to do now?

[glossy laurel]

Kinda?..

[slim wigeon]

Let me look thru my HDD of direwolf20 showing it in action as well, just for you to compare to my plugin

Here is the link: https://youtube.com/watch?v=hM9P5PDS6VA . You have to scroll to at least 25:00 timestamp

[slim wigeon]

While watching the ep, you see I have completed my goal

[quaint mantle]

12 years ago

[slim wigeon]

You right, its 12 years ago but it does show what I trying to create

[smoky oak]

is it possible to force-render a particle so that it is visible within entity/simulation distance instead of the 31 blocks particles are normally restricted to? i want to use them as indicators, like a false beacon beam, but projecting them towards players comes with its own issues

aka how the hell do i project a particle so a far away player can see it without having parallax issues?

[echo basalt]

wynncraft just uses croppy ass beacons for that

what about using a really stretched out display entity

[slim wigeon]

About wynncraft, I wish I know how their waypoint system works

[slender elbow]

doesn't the force parameter work?

[eternal oxide]

abuse perspective. render closer but smaller to indicate the path

[noble current]

anyone know how custom model data works in 1.21+?

in code

[smoky anchor]

Use the new model component instead for simple models

[noble current]

which is it?

[smoky anchor]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/ItemMeta.html#setItemModel(org.bukkit.NamespacedKey)
Assuming you're on high enough version

in the future, speficy even the dot release
these things now change really often

1.21.4 has many more features than 1.21.1

[noble current]

thanks you

[noble current]

that's for item model

but im using custom_model_data

it isnt possible to use?

[smoky anchor]

What are you trying to use the custom model data for

[noble current]

custom texture items

[smoky anchor]

Yes, the better way is what I linked

[noble current]

i don't know how to use it on item model

[smoky anchor]

It does not need to replace any item models/textures.

And even if you wanted to use CMD you'd have to change the item model definition.
There have been changes, look up how to make RP on wiki or ask for help in the Minecraft Commands Discord server.

[noble current]

okay

but for custom model data i need to use custom model data component?

[smoky anchor]

Correct, you'd have to do that.

[noble current]

import org.bukkit.inventory.CustomModelDataComponent;

this is correct?

[smoky anchor]

But again, for simple models (retextures) use the item model component.

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/ItemMeta.html#getCustomModelDataComponent()
To retrieve/create new component

[smoky anchor]

That doesn't seem to exist ?

[noble current]

which is the correct?

i can't find it

[smoky anchor]

well the one I sent

you can get from there to the right one

[noble current]

sorry im new

i can't find the import

[smoky anchor]

Do you know how to navigate docs ?

You click the blue link

it tells you stuff

[noble current]

oh sorry

i didn't knew

[smoky anchor]

What matters is that you learn this :)

[noble current]

[smoky anchor]

no, the Package shows only the package.

You need to put the class there as well

[noble current]

oh

[smoky anchor]

org.bukkit.inventory.meta.components.CustomModelDataComponent

[noble current]

my hero

[smoky anchor]

Eclipse ?
In any case, IDE should autoimport that for you...

[noble current]

i have to write them

[smoky anchor]

No

If that is the case then throw away that IDE, get IntelliJ
Or possibly correctly setup your project
Or idk, but you should not have to manually write imports...

Does your Eclipse not have any intellisense ?

[noble current]

yes, it has

[smoky anchor]

Then trust it, if you did you would not have written this.
But again, eclipse should do that by itself...

[storm edge]

Is anyone German, knowledgeable about coding and have a little time?

[blazing ocean]

steve are you an eclipse user

[smoky anchor]

Please English only

[blazing ocean]

[noble current]

how i can instantiate the custom model data component?

[smoky anchor]

I told you, get it from ItemMeta

Read what the docs I sent say

[noble current]

it is too hard

🪦

[smoky oak]

i considered this but particles stay where they're spawned, so the moment you get at a distance particles dont render and you need to use this, you get a pretty bad parallax effect

[noble current]

i don't understand 🙏

[slender elbow]

get it from the ItemMeta with the getCustomModelDataComponent() method

then, you can use the setFloats/Flags/Strings/Colors methods
and then, you use setCustomModelDataComponent on ItemMeta to set it back

[tender shard]

what kind of cursed api is that

[slender elbow]

itemmeta api

[noble current]

i keep getting errors

[slender elbow]

what kind of errors? what's your code look like?

[noble current]

like how i need to instantiate it from the item meta?

[slender elbow]

itemMeta.getCustomModelDataComponent()

and put it in a variable

[tender shard]

you don't

you use the existing one

[smoky anchor]

Do you know how to get itemMeta?

[slender elbow]

I'm not really sure what the issue is

You said you keep getting errors, what errors? what does your code look like?

[blazing ocean]

[tender shard]

[slender elbow]

you need to put it in a variable

then modify that CMDC variable

and then call ItemMeta setCMDC using that same modified variable

[noble current]

example?

[slender elbow]

jetbrains academy is a great resource for learning basic java

[orchid brook]

Why is the "chunkload" event triggered twice for the chunk where I connect to the server?

[tender shard]

for the same chunk?

[orchid brook]

yeah i log in the console all chunk that is loaded when i conect to the server and I just noticed that the chunk I am in when connecting is triggered twice by the "chunkload" event.

[noble current]

example of that?

i stored the itemMeta.getCustomModelDataComponent() in a variable

but how i modify it

i mean, with what function

[tender shard]

then it was unloaded inbetween

[slender elbow]

it has methods like setFloats, setFlags, setStrings, setColors

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/components/CustomModelDataComponent.html#method-summary

[noble current]

yes i saw but

[chrome beacon]

Yeah that tells you what's wrong

[orchid brook]

yes the chunk is loaded and then unloaded and then reloaded but this happen only for the chunk where i’am when i connect and i dont understand why

[slender elbow]

it takes a List of Strings, List<String>

not a single string

[blazing ocean]

taps sign

[noble current]

@slender elbow

this is good?

[tender shard]

yes

[noble current]

thanks, ill try it

🙏

[quaint mantle]

Am I supposed to use List<String> lore = new Array<>();
For itemlore?

[blazing ocean]

I don't think an array is a list

[tender shard]

What's your goal

[quaint mantle]

So ArrayList?

[blazing ocean]

correct

[quaint mantle]

Practice

[tender shard]

usually if sth needs a List<...>, and you don't have any reason to use sth else, you'd use an ArrayList, yes

[outer tendon]

Im building a BlockPopulator for a world in which I would like to generate terrain based on the way Minecraft generates its terrain for nether worlds. However, I am adding this BlockPopulataor to the BlockPopulator list for an overworld world. I want to copy nether generation under a certain y-level.

My current way of doing this was to get block data from a nether world in my populate method, but unfortunately, that is not thread safe, and it caused a lot of issues, so I'm looking for a more ideal and thread safe way of doing this.

[chrome beacon]

hm? are you trying to do world gen in the block populator?

They're only intended for smaller amounts of blocks

[magic beacon]

Whats the correct code for this?

[blazing ocean]

I mean we have zero context here

[slender elbow]

for all we know the correct code is to delete that line

[glad prawn]

See what it says to you lol

[outer tendon]

Well that's what I thought, but then md5 said it would work for this, so maybe he misunderstood me?

I could use a ChunkGenerator, but I still don't know how I would go about this

[polar forge]

I fugged up

A question

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

Why does this command remove hearts instead of healing me?

I know setMaxHealt() is deprecated but I've read online that it still functions

[eternal oxide]

all you are doing is setting max health. You do no healing

[orchid brook]

so anyone have an idear why ?

[polar forge]

how do i do it then? I dont understand

[eternal oxide]

max health is just the MAX you can have

health is how much you have

[polar forge]

but i set it to 20

why do i get random digits?

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Damageable.html#setHealth(double)

you are only setting the MAX

[polar forge]

How do i heal someone then

[eternal oxide]

I just showed you

[polar forge]

setHealth()?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[polar forge]

so setHealth(0, 20)?

[eternal oxide]

just 20.0

[polar forge]

and another question

[eternal oxide]

or setHealth(player.getMaxHealth())

[chrome beacon]

I mean it would probably work if you wanted it to

Just need to jump back to the main thread to get blocks

Since that's not thread safe

[eternal oxide]

you should actually use Attributes to get teh true max health

[polar forge]

yes thats what i did

at the beginning

but i also had the same problem

Btw Ive also made another plugin

WarpPlugin

but idk why i receive a strange error

aboyt PluginOptimalization idk

something like that

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

^ FreezeCommand

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

^ FreezeListener

This plugin must freeze a player when an Op does /freeze <player>

when i do it i receive the message, but it doesnt do anything to the affected player

[eternal oxide]

the || in the listener is pointless

just compare teh from/to block

[polar forge]

how do i compare

[eternal oxide]

== as its an instance

[polar forge]

so

[eternal oxide]

if (getFrom().getBlock() != getTo().getBlock())

[thorn isle]

Is it the same instance?

[eternal oxide]

teleport the player to their getFrom

he only needs to compare if the block instance is different and teleport them to their from location

[polar forge]

yes but i have 2 if statements that i would need to do if i remove the ||

[eternal oxide]

no you woudl not, compare BLOCK not x/z

if (e.getFrom().getBlock() != e.getTo().getBlock()) {
    e.getPlayer().teleport(e.getFrom());
}```

[polar forge]

Top Ill try it out

and another thing

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

^ Feed Command

why do i get an External error?

You know the red error

[eternal oxide]

what error?

[polar forge]

after i send the command, i still get fed but i then receive a red error

An Exceptional

something like that

[eternal oxide]

fed?

you posted the freeze command

[polar forge]

yes

Yes thats solved

There is another thing

[polar forge]

^

^ ^ FeedCommand

[eternal oxide]

that is not a feed command

[polar forge]

Opsie

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

[remote swallow]

if args is 0, use arg 0?

[eternal oxide]

if you return false the server will display an error

that also ^

[polar forge]

args[0] is just /feed

[eternal oxide]

no

command is feed

[remote swallow]

sounds like your command setup is broken if the arg is the command

[eternal oxide]

arg 0 would be feed if you typed /feed feed

[polar forge]

/feed is just args[0] right?

[remote swallow]

no

feed is the label

which you called s

[outer tendon]

BlockPopulators?

[polar forge]

but why then if i wrote /ban then its just args[0]?

[outer tendon]

Im curious if there's a more ideal way of doing it than jumping back

[remote swallow]

/command i am an arg

the string is command
args is [i, am, an, arg]

[outer tendon]

because Idk how to do that

[remote swallow]

im doubting that

[eternal oxide]

in your ban arg 0 is the p[layer you want to ban

[polar forge]

If (args.lenght == 0) {
sender.sendMesssage("Specify a Player")
}```

[remote swallow]

you probably want to look at your indents too

[polar forge]

then this just means the player is just submitting a command like /ban

[remote swallow]

correct

[polar forge]

then args[0] is just the command

[remote swallow]

args being 0, means its just the command

[remote swallow]

no

[polar forge]

u just said that

[orchid brook]

Anyone have an idear why the chunk where i connect get loaded -> unloaded and then loaded back ?

[polar forge]

u said the same thing i said

[remote swallow]

no i didnt

no args = /command

args = /command arg

[polar forge]

^

[eternal oxide]

he did kinda but yoiu mis understood

he means arg length of 0

[remote swallow]

by "just the command" i mean literally only /command

[polar forge]

yes thats what i also mean

[remote swallow]

example again

/command argument

args length is 1, and args[0] = argument

[eternal oxide]

arg length of zero means there are no args. the array is empty

[chrome beacon]

Use the scheduler to jump and then block the populator thread until completion

[polar forge]

so should i change it to 1?

[chrome beacon]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/scheduler-programming/

[remote swallow]

you need to look at where you have your code to see whats running for what cause

[outer tendon]

Hm alright. Ima look into that, but do you know if there is anyway to hijack the normal generation?

[slender elbow]

a scheduler to jump? like a skipping rope with a metronome?

[blazing ocean]

on a trampoline

[outer tendon]

bruh

[chrome beacon]

You probably can but it would involve some NMS and probably wouldn't be that easy

but you can take a look at how the world gen works and see if there's a suitible place to modify it to work how you want it

[outer tendon]

I did, and it looks like it would be extremely difficult to do

I wish I could just have it run its generator as if it was making a nether world after it does the same for a

wait a minute

nah that wouldnt work nvm

[thorn isle]

If the populator works other than being thread safe, you should be able to just synchronize to main and block like lmdll suggested

Yes a blockpopulator will behave somewhat poorly vs a proper chunk generator, but it should be tolerable

[vagrant hornet]

hey, do someone know how to use custom model data for mobs, and where to find models ?

[chrome beacon]

Mobs do not support custom model data

at least in vanilla*

[vagrant hornet]

well, how the servers create custom mobs then ?

[chrome beacon]

There are a couple tricks that can be used to get around that such as using Display Entities or Armor stands to show items with models

[vagrant hornet]

okay, do you have any ressources on how to do that ?

[chrome beacon]

Which part? Making models?

[solid vale]

@vagrant hornet welcome to the server 🙂

[vagrant hornet]

thanks 🙂

[vagrant hornet]

using them, I planned to find them online

[chrome beacon]

To set the item model of an ItemStack (from it's ItemMeta) get the CustomModelDataComponent

and then set one of it's values so it corresponds to the model you want

[vagrant hornet]

this i know, but i talked about mobs x)

[chrome beacon]

I mean you quite literally just put the item in the hand of an armor stand

or just set the item stack of the Display Entity

[torn badge]

With Display Entities being the much better choice btw

[bold nebula]

It's possible to detect holding left click?

[chrome beacon]

You can assume they're holding left click if they're mining a block

Other than that not really

[bold nebula]

Uhm.. it would work in adventure mode?

[chrome beacon]

Not really since the player isn't breaking any blocks in adventure mode

[bold nebula]

ik

[chrome beacon]

Unless you have an item that can do so ofc*

[bold nebula]

you can mine blocks in adventure mode with item that has nbt or something?

[sullen marlin]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/elitemobs.40090/ just use elitemobs by @torn shuttle

[chrome beacon]

yes

[bold nebula]

Oh really?

[sullen marlin]

look at that stuff, pretty elite

[bold nebula]

So i could increase their hand reach to like 100 and make sure there are barriers around the map so the player is always "mining" a block but what if the player target is an entity?

[slender elbow]

or, looking downwards

[jade oasis]

Does someone got the litebans api cause I’m tryna make a punishment GUI so when clicking something in a GUI it runs a command but goes down an offence scale but don’t know fully what I need so yh any help would be appreciated

[slender elbow]

https://gitlab.com/ruany/LiteBansAPI/-/wikis/home ?

[jade oasis]

Unless I’m stupid from reading doesn’t seem like I can use it for what I want it for cause all I need the blocks to do when I click them is to run commands

[torn shuttle]

damn look at how elite that is

crazy

the guy who made that must be really smart, and sexy too

[bold nebula]

I want to detect hold left click and the only way is to increase the player reach to like 100 and make sure there are barriers around the map so the player is always mining a block but what if the player target is an entity?

[chrome beacon]

Not much you can do except place a block closer than that entity

[orchid brook]

How can i trace a line between 2 BlockDisplay ?

[chrome beacon]

Depends on what you want to do with said line

[orchid brook]

just for debug purpose

[chrome beacon]

That doesn't really explain anything

Do you want to show a line of particles?

Can i send u a screenshot of what i try to do ?

[orchid brook]

because its not particle i think

https://prnt.sc/sWvDeytrs8AB

something like this (the green line)

[chrome beacon]

Those are just block displays

[orchid brook]

oh okay

[chrome beacon]

What looks to be diamond and emerald blocks repeated

scaled and rotated ofc

[bold nebula]

Fake block or a real block?

[thorn isle]

if it isn't a big issue to switch the key, you can pretty easily tell whether right mouse button is held or not, since it will send a packet every tick it's held

left mouse is much harder

[bold nebula]

I would like to use left click because im making guns

and left click is for shooting

If i can't detect hold left click then i need to press left click everytime when i want to shoot

[thorn isle]

swap it around so right click is shooting

because i don't think the 'put fake blocks in front of entities' thing is going to work out

at least not very reliably

[chrome beacon]

Fake block is better but will require more work

Also yeah just use right click for shooting?

Pretty much every server has the buttons flipped anyways

[bold nebula]

nope, i saw few servers that use left click for shoot

[thorn isle]

paper has Player::sendBlockChange for super easy fake blocks

but the problem is figuring out where to place them

[chrome beacon]

Spigot has that too

problem is they go away when interacted with

So you need to handle that packet yourself

[thorn isle]

you'd not only have to ray trace the player's line of sight every tick and cover any entities with fake blocks, but also predict player movement and pre-emptively cover entities with fake blocks

[bold nebula]

too much work

[thorn isle]

and since this is a combat "muh pvp" situation, any inconsistency in this (single-fire because the block packet arrived too late, instead of burst) is going to result in butthurt

so i'd just go with rightclicks

[bold nebula]

https://youtu.be/tMVmL7aSCU4

without mods

look the mouse at the top right

[thorn isle]

i don't see the 'targeted block' highlight that appears when a block is within reach distance on those quartz blocks

they might be doing something else

[chrome beacon]

That's removable

with a core shader

which they are using for those animations

not the same shader*

[thorn isle]

i think those animations should also be doable with display entities and billboarding

[chrome beacon]

could be

that map is a core shader though

[thorn isle]

yeah those animations don't look like display entities either, but i think something similar could be done with them

idk i think using shaders for "no mods" things is kind of cheating imo

[chrome beacon]

They are very powerful

Also break real quick with mods installed

[bold nebula]

I wonder if they used entity or a block at this point

[clear elm]

how can i muke such holograms

[eternal oxide]

Displays

[clear elm]

is it a new entity?

[eternal oxide]

recently new

Text, Item and Block

[clear elm]

alr thanks

[worldly ingot]

Could just be not overcomplicated by spawning an interaction entity

One that totally encompasses the player

Unsure if you can have it ride the player, but if you can, that probably makes it way smoother and doesn't require teleportation packets

[thorn isle]

is that going to work for left clicks?

[chrome beacon]

Hm can they do left clicks?

[worldly ingot]

Yes? Doesn't it handle both?

Yes, it handles both

[thorn isle]

🤡 i think i'm out of date

what's an interaction entity

[worldly ingot]

Literally just an invisible entity with arbitrary size that listens for left and right clicks

[chrome beacon]

When holding down?

Not just a single click

[worldly ingot]

That video sent above doesn't hold it down

[thorn isle]

but that's not gonna have the player reporting the button being held down, is it?

[worldly ingot]

It single clicks to zoom

Oh I guess it holds to shoot. Not sure

[thorn isle]

i'm pretty sure it does but i can't find the timestamp for it now

[young knoll]

Can’t you use the Input system to detect if left click is held

Ah no that only has WASD sprint sneak and jump

[worldly ingot]

Interaction entities seem to handle holding down the right mouse button, not the left mouse button. Just tested in game

[thorn isle]

even for right click there isn't really a "button held" and a "button released" event in the protocol, only a "button pressed" one sent every tick

[worldly ingot]

Correct

[thorn isle]

same for left click except the client doesn't resend it every tick

except when mining blocks which actually sends start/stop mining packets

but that'd involve covering all interactable entities with invisible and non-collidable fake blocks and i'm not sure if that's tenable

[worldly ingot]

WAIT

What about the mining distance?

[thorn isle]

that was the original idea; boost mining distance to say 100 and make sure the skybox is covered with barriers or whatnot

[young knoll]

sadly the max is like

64

[thorn isle]

but if an entity steps into your line of sight, you're going to send a "punch that entity" packet instead of "mine that block" packet and it breaks down

and you most likely are gonna shoot at entities rather than blocks

[worldly ingot]

The alternative is, yeah, having a fake block at least a couple blocks in front of the player and intercept the block break start packet, then wait for a block break stop packet

[young knoll]

Shame you’d see the block outline

[worldly ingot]

Not in adventure mode

[thorn isle]

supposedly, if the dev's passive aggressive response is to be trusted, that's not how they do it

[worldly ingot]

I don't know if the client will send a stop packet if the block is gone, it might send it when the cursor is let go

[thorn isle]

not sure if the client will send a start mining packet in adventure either

[young knoll]

Will it even send a start packet in adventure mode

[worldly ingot]

I don't know, man! D:

[young knoll]

You work at hypixel!

Adventure mode exists in 1.8

[worldly ingot]

YEAH BUT I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING

[young knoll]

I think

THEN UR FIRED

[worldly ingot]

[thorn isle]

replicate all player and entity models with display entities so there are no entity hitboxes 🤡

also replicate all terrain and blocks with block displays so there is no selection outline for them, and have a 60 block diameter barrier sphere follow player around

[worldly ingot]

I can hear the server fans from here

[mortal vortex]

Can you please release watchdog source code

[worldly ingot]

Bold of you to assume I even have it

[mortal vortex]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1024336396816752662/1214699688549290024/caption.gif

[sullen marlin]

Don't let watchdog read your kernel TCP settings tho

[mortal vortex]

I used to cheat on hypixel with Feather Client and a forge mod client. Started to get suspicious Feather was sending my system information to hypixel.

Years ago tho trust

[worldly ingot]

Banning rn

[mortal vortex]

reawwy

[fair rock]

Imagine telling a hypixel dev how you cheated is a crazy move

[wary mauve]

I am trying to make it so I can control the speed at which blocks are mined by listening for block damage events and then sendBlockDamage() to the player. But I'm running into the issue of the client's mining making it spazz out between the 1 tick of block damage and what my plugin is trying to simulate.

Am I going about this the right way? Is there a way to stop the 1 tick of block damage from showing while the player is mining?

[thorn isle]

use the tool component

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

of course this only works for custom tools and the like, not mining by hand; but i assume that's what you're trying to do

the client going out of sync with the server is inevitable if you don't give it some way to predict the result, and so far the only way to do that is this

[wary mauve]

Okay that makes sense. Is there something to see how I implement this in code?

[thorn isle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/components/ToolComponent.html

call ItemMeta::getTool iirc

[sullen marlin]

getItemMeta getTool set what you want on tool setTool setItemMeta

[wary mauve]

I'm not seeing a org.bukkit.inventory.meta.components package

in my ide

[thorn isle]

these were added in 1.21.4; what version are you building against?

[wary mauve]

oh. 1.20.4

[thorn isle]

yeah, no components at all on 1.20

1.21 was the component rework and 1.21.4 builds on it to add some more useful ones

[wary mauve]

Idk if y'all remember Cosmic Prisons, but I think they did this mining gimmick that I'm trying to do

Is there something else to do for this version?

[thorn isle]

i'd recommend updating to latest since that makes life generally easier, but apart from that, you could maybe apply invisible mining fatigue on the player to stop the breaking animation from progressing on the client end

it'll still be kind of janky, but perhaps better

this'll also prevent instabreaking blocks as you can e.g. smoothstone with efficiency V and haste, since that relies on clientside predictions that you'll throw out of whack with the mining fatigue

[wary mauve]

so things are updated to 1.21 and I'll be fine upgrading?

[thorn isle]

that depends 100% on your setup

my crystal ball is still in the repair shop so i regrettably can't tell what plugins you have to check if they've updated to 1.21.4

generally yes, most things have already updated to .4

even slimefun which took forever for whatever reason already has a .4 build

[slender elbow]

components were added in 1.20.5

[thorn isle]

i'd only expect major incompatibilities with plugins that are doing hacky nbt things, i.e. have pushed off updating to use pdc for like 10 years

[rotund ravine]

Yeah bunch of weirdoes anyway

[sly topaz]

there's no way it has been already 10 years since PDC

5 I believe you, 10 makes me sad

[orchid brook]

Does anyone have an idea of how I can prevent the ChunkLoadEvent from being triggered twice for the chunk I’m in when I connect ?

[sullen marlin]

It shouldn't be being triggered twice unless it's loading twice

What's the issue exactly

[orchid brook]

That strange because i have just this:

public void onChunkLoad(ChunkLoadEvent event) {
    Chunk chunk = event.getChunk();
    if(chunk.getX() == -26 && chunk.getZ() == -1) {
        System.out.println("Chunk loaded");
    }
}


public void onChunkUnLoad(ChunkUnloadEvent event) {
    Chunk chunk = event.getChunk();
    if(chunk.getX() == -26 && chunk.getZ() == -1) {
        System.out.println("Chunk unloaded");
    }
}
``` -26 and -1 is the chunk where i connect
and my console print me this: 
[06:48:59 INFO]: [LostEra-Utilitaires] [STDOUT] Chunk loaded
[06:48:59 INFO]: [LostEra-Utilitaires] [STDOUT] Chunk unloaded
[06:48:59 INFO]: [LostEra-Utilitaires] [STDOUT] Chunk loaded

[sullen marlin]

So it's being unloaded

[orchid brook]

That what im trying to understand why its being unloaded ?

[sullen marlin]

probably because the first load is a transient load to get the spawn position or something

why does this impact your plugin?

is this 1.21.4?

[orchid brook]

When a chunk is loaded, I check if there is a custom collector from my plugin, and if there is, I load the custom collector. However, if I connect to a chunk that has a custom collector, it gets loaded, unloaded (causing it to be saved in the database unnecessarily), and then reloaded again.

[eternal night]

(also sanity check, is this on spigot or on paper)

[sullen marlin]

why is that an issue?

[orchid brook]

That's not realy an issue, I was just wondering why the chunk is loaded twice for better understand.

[sullen marlin]

I just tested spigot 4457 (latest) and see no unloads

what does /version say?

[orchid brook]

Im not using the latest i will try with latest

[bold nebula]

interaction entities will detect if im holding left click?

[wide coyote]

I dont think so but try it and see

[jolly cliff]

I am creating a GUI plugin, and I am using a compass as the item to open the GUI. I have named the compass "Game menu." At the same time, I am also using WorldEdit, but when I click on that compass, WorldEdit activates. I want the Game menu compass to not trigger WorldEdit. How should I write the processing in the GUI plugin to achieve this?

I cannot speak English, so I am using translation.

[mortal vortex]

Would you be willing to disable that feature from WorldEdit?

[minor otter]

I'm attempting to find good keybinds for items and all I know about for possible keybinds are

Space (jump)
F(swap)
Directions (wasd)
Q(drop)
Lmb (interact)
Rmb (interact)
Shift (sneak)
Ctrl (sprint)

Anyone know any others?

[blazing ocean]

Disable it in WEs config

[jolly cliff]

I would like to be able to use everything in world edit except the compass used to open the GUI, but when I asked about this on the world edit discord, I was told that this is something that needs to be done on the GUI plugin side.

Original text

that’s something that the gui plugin would have to do, worldedit wouldn’t be able to do that
the gui plugin needs to listen before worldedit, and cancel the event when it’s intending to handle it
unless the other plugin does that, worldedit has no way to know it’s wanting to show a gui

[mortal vortex]

Disable it in WEs config like rad said

you can disable that specific thing

[jolly cliff]

Solved. Thank you

[glossy laurel]

Location endLocation = event.getTo();
Location from = event.getFrom();
endLocation.setX(from.getX());
endLocation.setZ(from.getZ());```

I have this in an on move event, but it allows players to move very slowly still. Anyone can explain?

[sullen marlin]

Why not setCancelled

Also Y

[young knoll]

Cancelling the event is a bit jittery

I prefer setting movement speed and jump strength to 0

[sullen marlin]

Don't think this is better pretty sure it's the same

[drowsy helm]

If you want to cancel movement use potion effects on top of it

[glossy laurel]

bcuz

i dont want y

thats the point

[young knoll]

Then just set movement speed to 0

[young knoll]

Nah attributes are the way now

[glossy laurel]

but I only want it if the end location is outside of a bounding box

[young knoll]

Then use the event to check that and change it back to normal

[glossy laurel]

ill try

[torn shuttle]

love having plugin tickets, just really great

it keeps going, too

[blazing ocean]

kekw

[worldly ingot]

Just write good code

fricken idiot

[fair rock]

Or close all tickets as "Intended Features" 💀

[zealous osprey]

Nanana, close them as "User Error"

[fair rock]

I like that idea xD

[pseudo hazel]

I wish my plugin had this much attention

[blazing ocean]

wontfix

[pseudo hazel]

and then when I got it I probably wish it werent so like you do now

[worldly ingot]

I mean VeinMiner is fairly popular but my support server is relatively quiet. The occasional person coming in once a month or so asking how permissions work or their config not working how they expect, and that's about it

If you have a fairly straight-forward, out-the-box working plugin that really doesn't need configuration, you're not burdened by support

[pseudo hazel]

yeah fair

[worldly ingot]

Something like Magma's plugins don't really meet that definition I'm afraid

[blazing ocean]

what if they just wan an exe

[pseudo hazel]

but if its things like minigames or like faction plugin 1246472 then yeah I guess there would be more to support

[worldly ingot]

That's why I gravitated towards simple and easy to understand mechanic plugins

[blazing ocean]

https://www.reddit.com/r/github/s/RwJ70CFQAd

[pseudo hazel]

yeah I wanna make plugins like that too, but I aint got no ideas that havent been done to death yet

[pseudo hazel]

lmao, "its in python, there is no exe file"

[worldly ingot]

I mean... I made a vein miner plugin

You can make a plugin that's been done before, you just have to do it better

[pseudo hazel]

right thats true

[blazing ocean]

just pull a cmarco

[pseudo hazel]

which is?

[blazing ocean]

say that god wants you to use this plugin 👍

[pseudo hazel]

lmao

based

I guess i just need ideas of plugins to make then and dont be such a b about it

maybe ill ask daddy gpt

[blazing ocean]

not sure if that's something he's done but seems like something he would

[worldly ingot]

I considered a long time making a firework plugin where you could define custom firework shapes and whatnot. I think there are a few out there that just make images, but none that make animated shapes

Ones that actually look like vanilla fireworks

Would need to be configurable out the wazoo though so lol

[pseudo hazel]

okay well so I did think about making a particle plugin that just works but turns out java particle system is asinine so its really hard to make anything of value

[umbral ridge]

im currently making this and it involves alot of maths

XD

[slender elbow]

ah, the plugin developer's #1 enemy

basic trigonometry

[worthy yarrow]

Go try some physics

While you’re at it, write me a frisbee physics lib

[wraith dagger]

guys

is there anyway to register existed entity Attbrutes generic attack damage for animal mob like pig?

cuz animal mob don't have Attbrutes of generic attack already

when i use normal set it just error

[kind coral]

i am making a backend in spring, and i am using postgres and flyway, anyone ever tried using it? i am having a problem where my application never loads because flyway says it is not compatible with any version of postgres when on the documentation it says it is up to latest.

[chrome beacon]

Those mobs don't attack
