[lethal knoll]

Yes ofcourse

[thorn isle]

never had any issues with it personally

[chrome beacon]

Using the library downloader is not shading

[lethal knoll]

But you wouldn't shade in this case

I know

It's just that spigot itself uses shading for providing the libraries at runtime

And when you got a server running multiple plugins, depending on the same library

it would cause an issue

At least that's what I heard

[thorn isle]

that doesn't sound right

[slender elbow]

doesn't mean it isn't against it

[lethal knoll]

Well, in that case, my issue is sorted, I'll use the libraries feature 🙂

[slender elbow]

"it's not illegal if they don't see me"

[kind hatch]

https://central.sonatype.org/terms.html
It's up to sonatype to determine whether or not it's abuse.

[lethal knoll]

Thank you all 🙂

The libraries feature it is

[kind hatch]

In short, if you're doing something that you think we may not approve of, it's probably going to be flagged as abuse, so don't do it. If you're not sure, ask us at http://www.sonatype.com/contact/general-inquiry. The fact that you take the time to ask first sets you apart from the abusers who expect unlimited free bandwidth. Direct communication will generally enable us to help you accomplish your goals without negatively affecting the community's resource.

[thorn isle]

don't the libraries get cached anyway?

[chrome beacon]

They do

[chrome beacon]

That's not quite what I meant. They simply state excessive bandwidth/requests which a plugin with a couple hundred downloads probably won't cause.

I'd say it's a bit different from Forge/Spigot/Paper etc that can get hundreds of thausands of installs

[kind hatch]

@light sinew Is the GUI showing up yet?

[lethal knoll]

confirmed

[tranquil pecan]

Is this good or i should use the default menu feature?

[lavish wing]

Hello!
Guys, tell me please, how can I build spigot-api manually?

[eternal oxide]

?bt

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

[pliant topaz]

Depends on your usecase and also which you prefer

[buoyant viper]

there is almost 0 reason to do this unless ur working on a fork or a PR tbh

but yeah, use BuildTools

it will generate the necessary files to manually build it

[undone axle]

Usage: !verify <forums username>

[umbral ridge]

man

i just wanna permanently delete all these folders because it feels like bloatware

or move them to a different dir

[barren prawn]

Heyy, I have a Linux Vserver. I try to figure out, how i can install a minecraft server mit mods on it! I got it actually with a tutorial, but somehow, If I am in the Minecraft console I cant return to the Linux Server, do you know how i can do it?

[eternal night]

Can disable all of those pretty sure

[umbral ridge]

HOW

[slender elbow]

by using spigot :pepelaugh:

[eternal night]

at least remapped and spark have system properties

[slender elbow]

at most all three do

[umbral ridge]

[slender elbow]

one is a superset of the other

hi guys i need help
im trying to change player nametag color with scoreboard teams only work for chatcolor

but hex colors not working

someone know any method for do this?

or other method for customize player's nametag?

[buoyant viper]

couldnt u just delete Spark

or is spark integrated into Paper

[umbral ridge]

it's integrated

directory recreates if i delete it

[eternal night]

global config has a spark.enabled flag

[thorn isle]

what's wrong with spark?

[buoyant viper]

nothing, just not everyone always needs/wants the perf profiler enabled lol

[umbral ridge]

thank you

[pastel saffron]

When I upload an update to my plugin, the latest version isn't displayed on the next API page. I've tried deleting the update and uploading it again, but nothing. It still doesn't update. Any help?
https://api.spigotmc.org/legacy/update.php?resource=124156

I've been waiting for an hour since I uploaded the update.

[umbral ridge]

why are ItemFlag not hiding the potion effects?

[paper viper]

Which flags are you using

[umbral ridge]

is there a difference between setting item flags on ItemStack or ItemMeta

[umbral ridge]

I just did ItemFlag.values() at this point XD

so everything

[paper viper]

You’re on paper

Probably

Right

[buoyant viper]

should probably set it with ItemMeta if i had to guess lol

[umbral ridge]

ty pixie

[paper viper]

It doesn’t work on paper

[paper viper]

so you are using paper right lol

you have to add a dummy attribute

on spigot it was patched but paper not yet

[umbral ridge]

this one?

[paper viper]

Yes

But move to Paper discord for support

[umbral ridge]

I cant join their server

[paper viper]

why lol

[umbral ridge]

I think i got banned a few years ago

XD

i think some of the staff got pissed off and banned me without a proper reason...but yea

[kind hatch]

As far as I can tell, it's accurate.

[remote swallow]

ever thought to appeal

to get support for the software your using

[pastel saffron]

Hummm

@kind hatch

Why do I get that version? I'm using the same link

[kind hatch]

Could be the cloudflare cache, but I'm not 100% sure.
Might take a while for it to propagate if that is the case.

[pastel saffron]

How strange..

[kind hatch]

Typically it's updated within 30 minutes.

[paper viper]

Appeal here https://papermc.io/community/guidelines, and then get support from the proper discord

[kind hatch]

But I have seen it take 2 hours before

[sullen marlin]

The cache headers will tell you exactly

Updates do not need to be instant

[sterile token]

hello, what menu api are you using? It seems such a pretty clean code

yeah hahah, still havent died ahahha

[patent timber]

Hi guys, I am at a loss here... I have some custom patches to change some things required for custom plugins that were developed a while ago, my developer is no longer around and can't hire another just yet, I am following this guide https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/tutorial-adding-custom-patches-to-spigot.158694/ but what do I do since I already have the .patch files at hand? I tried to add them directly into the Bukkit-Patches and Craftbukkit-Patches folders but there was an error after compilation, something about a maven repository being blocked.

They are intended for a 1.8.8 spigot, since that is the core that the custom plugins require.

[sullen marlin]

1. provide actual error

?howold 1.8.8

[undone axle]

https://howoldisminecraft.today/1.8.8

[eternal night]

has it nearly been a decade already?? feels like yesterday

[blazing ocean]

Dude you're also 824 years old now

[eternal night]

don't mention it

[blazing ocean]

happy belated birthday btw

forgot about it sorry

[eternal night]

danke 824 truely was a great year

[blazing ocean]

BC?

[eternal night]

Yea, still had old combat mechanics back then

[weary ridge]

Hello, I am trying to get rid of the logic for players sleeping to skip the night. So far I can do this by using the vanilla gamerule to over 100% sleepers required, but it sends an action bar to the player still. Is there any way that I can just make people allowed to get in bed without triggering any of the time skip logic?

[sullen marlin]

TimeSkipEvent.setCancelled(true)

[patent timber]

I was just getting to that, and yes I am very aware that 1.8.8 is old, but this is an old core. I just want to get it back up and running first and then go from there. They are custom protocol support patches allowing 1.8 to 1.18 and some custom API changes.

I am just trying something again and if it errors I'll get back to you

(It's been a long time, it's slowly coming back to me lol)

[weary ridge]

this does not get rid of the action bars

[sullen marlin]

did you set the gamerule back to normal

[weary ridge]

I did

it says "Sleeping through this night"

even though, yes the time skip is cancelled

that event doesnt happen until like 3 seconds after the player enters the bed and gets the action bar popup

[sullen marlin]

oh I misunderstood, you dont want any message. Might be able to cancel interact and .skeep them yourself?

[weary ridge]

Huh?

oh cancel them entering the bed and then manually put them into the bed?

[sullen marlin]

yeah

[weary ridge]

Ill look into that

[trim quest]

Hello! I'm currently implementing a simplified version of Spigot's event model from scratch to learn more about event dispatching and listener registration systems. Do you have any advice on architectural patterns or design tips for building a clean and flexible event system? @sullen marlin

I nearly finished GoF book

[paper viper]

You don't need to ping md for this

[tall dragon]

Spigot's system is pretty flawed imo 😉

[paper viper]

*Bukkit

[tall dragon]

yea

sorry, bukkit

[trim quest]

Would love to hear how you’d architect an event dispatcher and listener registry from scratch.

[sullen marlin]

care to elaborate?

[sullen marlin]

why the check on line 25? Shouldnt be necessary if registration is handled properly

and line 15, shouldnt handlers be static?

[slender elbow]

the whole HandlerList bs is pretty bs and unintuitive that if an event subclass has its own list, listening to the superclass (also with its own list) won't call the listener

it's really confusing and having to know which events are listenable over their superclasses is not good dx when it feels more like an impl detail

so many people have been caught up in the fact that interacting with armour stands doesn't call the PlayerInteractEntityEvent

but its direct subclass that has its own handler list

[trim quest]

its cheap copy of spigot api im not professional as you are.

just want to improve myself at it

[slender elbow]

because if you are listening to an event subclass that doesn't have its own handler list, then you'll get an exception 😁

[trim quest]

do you have any book recommendation md5

[paper viper]

If you're going to make your own event system, I honestly really recommend just creating your own subscription type event like how LuckPerms does theirs

[patent timber]

@sullen marlin I managed to fix it, one of the patches were not applying so I had to skip it, it was a patch for implementing sentry for exception monitoring

Does not say what the problem is with it though

[mighty wind]

breeze.getPersistentDataContainer().set(StaticKeys.damageableNMSKey, PersistentDataType.BYTE, (byte) (1));

 ```   if (!(livingEntity.getPersistentDataContainer().has(StaticKeys.damageableNMSKey, PersistentDataType.BYTE))) return;

    byte value = livingEntity.getPersistentDataContainer().get(StaticKeys.damageableNMSKey, PersistentDataType.BYTE);```

would anyone know why this would be returning false (the second block)

[paper viper]

you're not setting the itemmeta back

[mighty wind]

itemmeta?

[paper viper]

Wait

Im dumb nvm

Hold on

[mighty wind]

nvm

Caused by: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: Exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid namespace. Must be [a-z0-9._-]: Clans [in thread "Server thread"]

[tranquil pecan]

Uh it's a part of my code

[umbral ridge]

what is the best way to compare inventories? is there some sort of identifier that can be set to each inventory

I dont want to compare all items in inventories because that could take a long time

[sullen marlin]

What are you trying to compare

[umbral ridge]

on click event, i just need to make sure that the inventory that is clicked, is the right one

eg

[sullen marlin]

Wdym right one

[umbral ridge]

on click event, how do i know when I have clicked this custom inventory

[sullen marlin]

Pretty sure you can literally .equals()

Probably even ==

[buoyant viper]

holy shit i just realized plugins use the java.util.Logger ?!

this whole time i thought they used Apache

[umbral ridge]

how do you ban a player permanently

ban() takes in reason, expires, and source.. soo expires should be like maximum INT or something?

[fallow saffron]

I think most plugins that handle bans just kick the player using AyncPlayerPreLoginEvent or PlayerLoginEvent

or event.setResult or something along those lines

[umbral ridge]

ty

[young knoll]

BanList uses an instant for the expiration

Says to use null for forever

[tall dragon]

Well in my opinion the lack of proper registration allowing you too see a list of registered events, i would also love if one could listen to a group of events at once. for example "PlayerEvent".

[buoyant viper]

TIL URI#create(String) exists

[rough drift]

that's the proper way to create a URL now

[buoyant viper]

ive been doing fuckin new URL(String).toURI() for like ages now

[rough drift]

URI.create(...).toURL()

[buoyant viper]

yeah ive been doing the Very archaic method instead

is there plugin init state that could make it load before another plugin even gets registered/recognized

id imagine not but i got a super awesome amazing idea for an auto updater

[young knoll]

Dont think so

I believe they are all read at once

[chrome beacon]

You can use the update folder though

[buoyant viper]

the what

[chrome beacon]

If you make a folder called update inside of the plugins folder you can put your updated jar there

Spigot should then use them during the next restart

This feature has been around for a real long time now but it's not very known

[buoyant viper]

hm

[fossil cypress]

Maybe not necessarily a specific question but more of a general outlet that I need to bring out. One thing that makes me hate coding is that when learning basics and all that you usually never really get anywhere specific. Most guides or tutorials that I followed for Java specially never really go much further than basic knowledge, so when I want to create something new, I always get hard stuck because I just don’t know how to do it, and asking for help or googling things sometimes helps but I don’t want to look things up every minute because I’m just so new. Are there any people here that feel the same or were like this and somehow got past it? Genuine question

[eternal oxide]

You need to learn the basics, once thast is done you are only limited by your imagination

[young knoll]

And problem solving skills

[grim hound]

how can I read the frames of a gif while preserving its alpha in colors?

cuz uh, all googling results don't preserve the alpha

[drowsy helm]

Coding is 80% typing, 20% googling. It’s not like a math problem where you have to figure it out without any help.

As long as you understand what you are potentially copy pasting, then you are fine

[ivory sleet]

I know I had to ignore the stuff that I wasn’t supposed to understand, and that was very deep for me to adapt and to learn since I was very used to understanding something fully- step by step. For example why and when do you write {}, and what exactly System.out.println does, why is it just print() in python etc.

[sly topaz]

GIFs don't have an alpha channel

[grim hound]

that's what I heard but

I'm looking at one right now

it has a transparent background

and .gif

[sly topaz]

it doesn't achieve transparency the same way, they have a color palette which contains a transparent bit

that means that if you are parsing color properly, transparency should be kept

[grim hound]

why

does this

happpeeeennn

[fossil cypress]

What are the best websites to check for help, spigot forums primarily or?

[drowsy helm]

Really depends on the specific problem, for spigot specific problems- yeah forums is best

[eternal oxide]

If its an API question, here. If its Java, google

[ivory sleet]

Tbh, AI can be quite helpful at times ngl

[shadow night]

Ai can be used a search engine, most have the feature to search in the web

[drowsy helm]

Being a proficient programmer also means being good at optimising google search

[shadow night]

"rust static mutable no unsafe" fr fr

[grim hound]

it seems to skip pixels without any transparency?

[grim hound]

wait wait wait

when you say bit

you mean like

bit bit

or like

~8 bit?

is it like "color or no color" or does it have an alpha param

[sly topaz]

it doesn't have an alpha channel, as mentioned

you have a color palette that allows only for 8-bit

[grim hound]

so its a true false

[sly topaz]

sec I am losign

[fossil cypress]

Well what if I don’t know if it’s a spigot or Java problem haha

[drowsy helm]

They are two distinct things

[fossil cypress]

I think it would be more spigot related or at least spigot / paper

[sly topaz]

transparency is just treated as another color in the palette

that said, what is the code in question that is causing you trouble

[grim hound]

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

its a mix of stack overflow guy's code, mine & deep seek's

private static final class ImageFrame {
        private final int delay;
        private final BufferedImage image;
        private final String disposal;
        private final int width, height;

        private static int i;

        public ImageFrame(BufferedImage image, int delay, String disposal, int width, int height) throws IOException {
            this.image = image;
            this.delay = delay;
            this.disposal = disposal;
            this.width = width;
            this.height = height;

            var f = new File(Main.DATA_FOLDER, i++ + "whythefuckdoyounotwork.png");
            ImageIO.write(this.image, "png", f);
        }

        public ImageFrame(BufferedImage image) {
            this.image = image;
            this.delay = -1;
            this.disposal = null;
            this.width = -1;
            this.height = -1;
        }

        public BufferedImage getImage() {
            return image;
        }

        public int getDelay() {
            return delay;
        }

        public String getDisposal() {
            return disposal;
        }

        public int getWidth() {
            return width;
        }

        public int getHeight() {
            return height;
        }
    }

private static BufferedImage copyImage(BufferedImage source) {
        BufferedImage copy = new BufferedImage(source.getWidth(), source.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
        Graphics2D g = copy.createGraphics();
        g.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Src);
        g.drawImage(source, 0, 0, null);
        g.dispose();
        return copy;
    }

if you need it

[ivory sleet]

devious file name

[sly topaz]

You're using AlphaComposite.Src which doesn't respect alpha blending, change it to SrcOver and see if it works

you could also make a class for the metadata instead of just putting everything on the method lol

[grim hound]

I assume Src refers to like isTransparent = alpha < 128?

[grim hound]

it's mostly copied code, iss fineee

[grim hound]

also, what about these?

ah, wait no, not the code-

oh now it works

thanks man ;]

[sly topaz]

the GIF format seems to have a thing called GCE which is like a header that's added per frame

that tells you whether a frame has transparency and the color index in the palette to treat as transparent

GIFs also seems to support local color tables however I don't think most GIFs readers support that feature

[grim hound]

what the hell are those

[grim hound]

have you worked with graphics like this before that you knew about the alpha composite?

[sly topaz]

more or less, I've done a lot of JavaFX at some point which forced me to learn a few things when it comes to image formats too lol

[grim hound]

okay, maybe a bit of an odd question but uh

...why does this code draw the images over the very first frame?

like

[sly topaz]

well, you're not disposing of the previous frame properly it seems, but I haven't yet looked at the code to verify

[grim hound]

the code seems to be a bit convoluted

[sly topaz]

you also don't seem to be handling the doNotDispose disposal method

[grim hound]

how do I

[sly topaz]

you just take the frame and copy it over

I am having a hard time reading this on mobile lol, let me wake up and turn on my pc

[waxen acorn]

hi, I have a question. I'm recently learning modding on 1.21 by using my known experience on 1.20 modding but it seems that custom payloads got changed. Is there any way to use the updated custom payloads on modded client to communicate with Bukkit/Spigot servers? It seems that newer Spigot has patched DiscardedPayload and forced it to hold data but unfortunately this is undone on vanilla clients.

I've searched around this but nothing useful. :/ Since DiscardedPayload is a record I had no idea on how to do workarounds using Mixin in my mod.

Hi peeps :)

I just have a quick question about maven. I am familiar with what maven does and more or less how it works. But just to make sure I understand it right:

does maven manage updating your spigot api version for you? does it do it automatically or every time I build it?

[thorn isle]

if the version is postfixed with -SNAPSHOT, it will fetch the latest snapshot of that version

but no, it won't automatically increment the version itself

[chrome beacon]

^ it doesn't do this every time you build though, there is a cache duration

[manic delta]

is there any way to make a Wolf play this animation?
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1211513474681675820/1363880572153364590/Wolf_shaking.webp?ex=6807a444&is=680652c4&hm=0572dbae06f9efef7915abf192cf975b47707b7e9dfbc4bbdebaa60b63bc7639&=&animated=true

i see a isWet() on his class

[somber scarab]

interesting.. because I just opened a plugin from a while ago and I'm pretty sure I had some errors that werent there and they were all api related

[thorn isle]

for example if you build against 1.21.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT, you will always build the latest build of 1.21.4; but it will not automatically switch to 1.21.5

[somber scarab]

ahhh bingo.. I havent worked on it since almost a year

[somber scarab]

I see and If I want to update I just change the pom.xml and rebuild?

[thorn isle]

this is one of the biggest issues with maven, that is, it caches the dependencies locally in your .m2, so even though your repositories might no longer serve those builds or have gone completely offline, your local setup will build; but the build isn't reproducible for anyone else, defeating the point of a build tool

[chrome beacon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Entity.html#playEffect(org.bukkit.EntityEffect)

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/EntityEffect.html#WOLF_SHAKE

[thorn isle]

this is a huge pet peeve for statelessness purists

[somber scarab]

wait so you're telling me out of the box maven doesnt do what it's supposed to do?

[thorn isle]

it does, but as with all solutions and things in this world, there are caveats

[manic delta]

oh thank you

[somber scarab]

oh if you're offline

well that would make sense if you're offline. it'd only look for local repos or smth

[thorn isle]

but yes you can just change the version in the pom if you want to build against say 1.21.5 instead

[blazing ocean]

wait till you hear about 300GB ~/.gradles

[somber scarab]

ahh nice

[thorn isle]

i have 10 of those, one for each paper userdev project 🤡

[somber scarab]

how do you guys launch a local server for testing? I've been using the build tool so far but I'm not sure how easy it is to just have multiple minecraft version and host swap between them

[thorn isle]

imagine buildtools except it gets cloned along with all of its intermediate steps for every individual project

[blazing ocean]

these aren't too huge

but man loom caches are huge

[thorn isle]

speaking of paper userdev, it has a runServer goal which will launch the server directly from the IDE with the plugin you're working on, with debugger capability

[somber scarab]

what????

[chrome beacon]

It loves to auto rebuild

[blazing ocean]

nope, that's run-task

[chrome beacon]

When I'm testing stuff..

[orchid gazelle]

Doesn't literally everything have that?

[blazing ocean]

no...

[somber scarab]

can you send me some documentation so I can set this up? this sounds wild

[zenith lance]

Yes

[somber scarab]

i have no idea what you mean, sorry

[zenith lance]

No problem

[chrome beacon]

What do you need help with

[thorn isle]

aren't you the same guy who just asked this 5 minutes ago and got handheld all the way to the "post resource" ui on the site?

[zenith lance]

Actually I add resources for plugin required l

So how to share this plugin EVRYONE

[somber scarab]

you want to build your plugin?

[zenith lance]

My plugin is ready

[somber scarab]

😕

[zenith lance]

I add in resources

Looks like this

[somber scarab]

what are those resources?

[chrome beacon]

So what's the problem

?

[somber scarab]

O

on spigot

[zenith lance]

Idk 😶

[thorn isle]

🤡

[somber scarab]

you want to share your plugin?

[zenith lance]

I chose spigot

Yes

[somber scarab]

send the website link bro

???

[chrome beacon]

You already did share your plugin?

[zenith lance]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/ziayzumc-lobbyprotect.124302/

[somber scarab]

thank you

[chrome beacon]

I don't understand what the problem is?

[somber scarab]

you shared it with us

[zenith lance]

Mo

No

[somber scarab]

@chrome beacon now he did

now @zenith lance don't send me the link

send to EVERYONE

[zenith lance]

So my plugin is ready for everyone

[somber scarab]

fresh out the oven

[zenith lance]

Everyone can download?

[chrome beacon]

yes

[somber scarab]

as ready as can be

[mortal hare]

code duplication is far cheaper than wrong abstractions is such a good statement ngl

[zenith lance]

Can you check please

[somber scarab]

how about let your friends check?

[zenith lance]

Accept my request

[somber scarab]

no

[zenith lance]

Please check your can download or not

[somber scarab]

can you download?

if yes, so can everyone else..

wild..

[thorn isle]

try downloading it in a private tab/window

presumably though if its listed it can be downloaded, idk why you're making such a fuss about this

[orchid furnace]

Hiya, quick question - how do you get team prefixes of a specific player?

[mighty wind]

whats the default player walk speed

is it 0.2

[chrome beacon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/scoreboard/Scoreboard.html#getEntryTeam(java.lang.String)

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/scoreboard/Team.html#getPrefix()

[orchid furnace]

ty!

[chrome beacon]

I believe so

[mighty wind]

some funky stuff happens when i change it

zzz

[somber scarab]

why does my new gradle project come unfinished? I am using intelliJ minecraft dev plugin

[mighty wind]

is there a way to freeze a player and stop them from moving+jumping

apart from cancelling move event

[chrome beacon]

What version are you on

[mighty wind]

1.21.4

[umbral ridge]

how do you get inventory title on InventoryClickEvent

there is no getTitle

[worldly ingot]

event.getView().getTitle() because it's not the inventory that has a title, it's the view

[umbral ridge]

ty choco

[worldly ingot]

I wouldn't recommend comparing inventory title names if you're implementing menu UIs, but that's a separate problem lol

[umbral ridge]

that's one of the steps im making because i cant use equals on inventories because they're dynamic

[worldly ingot]

InventoryView can be passed around though 👀

It's instanced

[umbral ridge]

hmmmmmm

[worldly ingot]

Player#openInventory() returns an InventoryView if you want to hold reference to and compare that

[umbral ridge]

yeah will do that instead

ChocoView

[worldly ingot]

== is fine but you can use .equals() if you really want to

Comes out the same. Don't think the IV implementations override it

[umbral ridge]

yea ill have to use inventoryview because i cant compare titles either.. that's dynamic too

but first i need to smoke a 🚬

I have this and i have to somehow store the InventoryView.

because as soon I use the command /ban <player> , the data is sent to the sql server, and a ban data is stored, ban state saved as PENDING. So I'm still thinking things through.. after you select the values and click the green dye, data is updated in the sql server, and the player is banned.

so how do I make this secure.. InventoryView could be in a HashMap<UUID, InventoryView> ? I guess I have to create the entire class and cache all of that aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh that is bs

forgot to add the PENDING enum to the sql server

[worldly ingot]

Yeah a Map<UUID, InventoryView> is totally fine. Just be sure to remove it from the map when the inventory closes too

Not that it matters too much tbh

[umbral ridge]

yeah

[dark lynx]

so i have my aternos (iknow im broke okay) an i am trying to ad smartspawners for about an hour already and it doesnt work can somone help me?

wait no way

it works

[safe beacon]

Hello, I would like to ask: The server has Vault and Essentials installed, so why does the following code not deduct money from a player when I run it?
private static final Economy economy = getServer().getServicesManager().getRegistration(Economy.class).getProvider();
economy.withdrawPlayer(player, amount);

[thorn isle]

static final

which class is this in?

if it's in your plugin main class, or any class initialized by your main class' clinit, it will run before vault/essentials has a chance to register any providers

[mortal hare]

i always took vault for granted for economy stuff but how does it store the data persistently?

i've actually never thought about it

nvm i forgot vault is just an abstraction lol

you still need economy plugins to support it lol

[paper viper]

Yeah the economy plugin itself has a DB or config that persists. Vault is just a compatibility layer for developers

[worldly ingot]

This is something Vault doesn't explain well enough. Vault services should be loaded lazily

[mortal hare]

tbh after all those years i still dont get it why its not implemented under bukkit api

[paper viper]

Why would an economy abstraction be under the Bukkit API?

[safe beacon]

i try try

[mortal hare]

why would permissions be under Bukkit api

[chrome beacon]

vanilla has permission levels, vanilla does not have an economy system

[paper viper]

^

[mortal hare]

fair enough

[paper viper]

Like 0, 1,

[mortal hare]

probably not because of that but because there's many instances of how economy persistence can be implemented

[worldly ingot]

Tried, gave up. Too many different wants

I tried speaking with economy developers but ultimately the idea was shut down by Paper developers who wanted so many different things

Which is usually why most of my PRs get doomed to review hell lol

[paper viper]

One thing too is that not every server needs an economy. Maybe it’s better to have it be like a plugin server extension than something built in

[worldly ingot]

No, an abstract API directly in Bukkit should definitely be a thing

Sponge has one, even

[thorn isle]

there's one for permissions so i don't see why we couldn't have one for economy

[slender elbow]

why not two?

[worldly ingot]

That sounded sarcastic, I'm being serious lol

[paper viper]

Actually unifying economy would probably be better. I took a look at Sponge’s and honestly it would be very useful so there aren’t a million different economy plugins to hook into

[somber scarab]

how do I know know what the dependency parameters are when I would like to utilize a plugin in my project?

like world edit's for example

[orchid furnace]

Heya, on the PlayerDeathEvent is the getEntity method returning the player that died or the thing that caused the deatrh?

[somber scarab]

I assume the player

usually when you need the killer you do getKiller() or maybe this method is outdated

its been a while since I made a plugin

[azure vault]

what packets do i need to send in order to change a player's head rotation? neither entity look nor entity head rotation do anything

[echo basalt]

they should work

there's also a head rotation packet

nvm you mentioned it

[chrome beacon]

Yeah those are the packets

[azure vault]

        PacketContainer enforceRotation1 = ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.ENTITY_HEAD_ROTATION);
        enforceRotation1.getIntegers().writeSafely(0, entity.getEntityId());
        enforceRotation1.getBytes().writeSafely(0, (byte) (playerEyeYaw*256F / 360F));

        PacketContainer enforceRotation2 = ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.ENTITY_LOOK);
        enforceRotation2.getIntegers().writeSafely(0, entity.getEntityId());
        enforceRotation2.getBytes().writeSafely(0, (byte) (playerEyeYaw*256F / 360F));
        enforceRotation2.getBytes().writeSafely(1, (byte) (playerEyePitch*256F / 360F));
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Yaw " + playerEyeYaw*256F / 360F + " pitch " + playerEyePitch*256F / 360F);
        ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager()
                .broadcastServerPacket(enforceRotation1);
        ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager()
                .broadcastServerPacket(enforceRotation2);

this does nothing

[chrome beacon]

Are you making NPCs

[azure vault]

no

im trying to rotate the player themself

[chrome beacon]

Teleport the player if you want to rotate them

[azure vault]

i need to change the player's rotation every 4 ticks

if i teleport them they would be stuck in place

(i tested this already)

[thorn isle]

neither of those are the packets you're looking for

[azure vault]

oh

[thorn isle]

what you want to do is send a relative move/teleport packet

and set the yaw/pitch to relative

[azure vault]

thanks

[thorn isle]

or if you want to enforce a specific direction, rather than rotate, set them to absolute and the xyz fields to relative

[azure vault]

🙏

[craggy lagoon]

how do i make a website for my minecraft server

i got the domain

mc.hungergames.cc

[azure vault]

you either use a hosting platform or run apache/whatever on your own server

[craggy lagoon]

teach me king

[azure vault]

what distribution are you using

[craggy lagoon]

cloud falre

[azure vault]

what

[blazing ocean]

well you first have to actually make the website

and then you can think about hosting

[craggy lagoon]

well

[azure vault]

@craggy lagoon where are you running your minecraft server?

[craggy lagoon]

how do i make a website

[blazing ocean]

cloudflare pages is great

[craggy lagoon]

from my compute

[azure vault]

i was asking them for their server distro

[blazing ocean]

start off by learning HTML, CSS and JS

not relevant though?

[azure vault]

very relevant if they want a tutorial on how to set up apache

[blazing ocean]

not relevant if they haven't even made the website yet

[craggy lagoon]

i only know english

[blazing ocean]

those are programming languages-

[craggy lagoon]

what is apache

[azure vault]

troll elsewhere

[blazing ocean]

not relevant for now

[craggy lagoon]

ok so

how would i create a website

[blazing ocean]

[craggy lagoon]

i dont want to

[blazing ocean]

no website for you then

[deep parrot]

hello i found an old plugin for a hardcore server that kicks everyone and regens the world when anyone dies. i just want to make one small tweak to it but i have no clue how plugin development or java at all works. can anyone help me out?

[azure vault]

sure

is it open source or do you only have the jar

[deep parrot]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/multiplayer-hardcore.101494/

thats all i have

[azure vault]

old plugin
from 2022

😭

[azure vault]

what do you want to change about it?

[deep parrot]

just add like a 30 second delay before it kicks everyone

thats it

[azure vault]

ill take a look

[deep parrot]

thanks bro much appreciated

[azure vault]

what minecraft version are you gonna use it on

[deep parrot]

1.21.5 but this version was working fine when i tested it

[azure vault]

ye

i forgot how to add libraries in recaf so im just gonna copy paste the code lol

[thorn isle]

no source code but depending on how the classes are laid out it could be easy to selectively recompile the part of it that'd include the delay

[azure vault]

its two classes

lol

[deep parrot]

the furthest i got was i could see the java classes but couldnt edit them i got no clue how it works ive only worked with python

[azure vault]

recaf allows u to pretty easily edit the classes directly

but i forgot how to add libraries in there

@deep parrot do you want it to broadcast a message or something

[deep parrot]

could you do that?

just make it say resetting in 20 seconds?

[azure vault]

sure

cant send files here

https://workupload.com/file/HLJN2kHkFzL

here

[deep parrot]

will try it now

[azure vault]

ok there might be an issue with formatting

let me know if u see Â in chat

https://workupload.com/file/fsCmHDrxxKN

this one shouldnt have that issue

[deep parrot]

yeah saw the A but other than that working perfectly tysm man

nvm fixed thanks again much appreciated

[grim hound]

Okay, I don't wanna be like overreliant, but every change I make that results in the primary frame not showing up also results in some other gifs having their frames be corrupted

Just like before the src alpha component switch

[grim hound]

Also, doNotDispose frames render correctly without doing anything else here (again, except for the primary frame being the background)

[sly topaz]

I am honestly more confused by the code tbh, what are you trying to do with the gif?

because if you're just trying to read the frames of a gif, you don't have to do all that

[knotty gale]

I have 2 plugins that depend on each other to make a basketball game, one does the basketball stuff and the other keeps score, the only problem is, is that only one game can run at a time. How would I generally make it so you can create multiple at a time and then those individual games keep track of themselves

[silver robin]

confusing scenario
are the plugins developed by you or are you using someone else's?

[knotty gale]

By me, but I didnt forsee the issue of multiple people trying to play at once and the plugin mixes the 2 games together. So if someone wants to shoot the ball in one game, but someone else has the ball in a different one it causes issues because the plugins think they are the same game

it also broadcasts every message it sends instead by the individual players in each game, but I dont understand how I could group them together

[cosmic dock]

Spigot uses MCP, right?

[eternal night]

no

[sly topaz]

it does not

I don't think anything has used MCP in ages

[cosmic dock]

well I was using it, but that's also just because someone has told me

what is used nowadays?

[sly topaz]

what are you trying to do

[cosmic dock]

well I already used MCP, I was just wondering how .patch files can be made, I think Spigot has them

like how is Spigot set-up?

when they edit server source code, are those .patch files created right when hitting CTRL + S to save?

[grim hound]

I am

Xd

I couldn't do it with a gif img reader

[knotty gale]

@silver robin forgot to @ u

[sly topaz]

you make a commit to the Bukkit or CraftBukkit repo, and those commits get transformed into patches when running rebuildPatches.sh

[cosmic dock]

so Spigot doesn't even make patches?

[sly topaz]

the commits are patches

[cosmic dock]

like it's all just from Bukkit and CraftBukkit?

[sly topaz]

for the most part, yes

[cosmic dock]

and the other part?

[sly topaz]

well, there's a few patches from the Spigot repository, but those are not really used anymore in development

they can be made by making a commit on the respective Spigot-API/Spigot-Server folders that get generated when you run applyPatches.sh, however Spigot doesn't do development there, aside from the few patches that actually reside there due to historical reasons

[cosmic dock]

oh because I was also wondering about how one can contribute changes for Spigot, but if it's like not at Spigot then, uhh idk 🤷

[sly topaz]

you just clone the Bukkit and Craftbukkit repositories and then make your changes

once you make your changes and test them, make a commit (preferably on a different branch) on each repository with your changes applied and then you just push them to your stash fork

once you push them to the fork you can make a PR from the bitbucket UI

[sly topaz]

but what are you trying to use the gif frames for

[robust helm]

when i use compileOnly in build.gradle, and the needed dependency is a plugin which is added to dependsin plugin.yml, it should work without any further configuration right? as long as the dependency plugin is on the server

[sly topaz]

Yes, but that sounds like a leading question

What is your issue?

[robust helm]

i have a Utils plugin which is required by my lobby plugin. utils plugin is build as a fat-jar and has an artifact in MavenLocal. my project uses compileOnly(<the utils artifact>) and depends: [<utils plugin>], but i still get a NoClassDefFound error

if utils plugin is disabled, it should not work right?

[sly topaz]

Show the build scripts for both plugins

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[sly topaz]

If the Utils plug-in is disabled then it most likely won’t work, yeah

[robust helm]

wait im probably stupid

[sly topaz]

Lol

[robust helm]

cuz utils thingy is disabled

lemme fix it rq and ill ping u when im done

[cosmic dock]

and do they use MCP?

[sly topaz]

No

Spigot has its own set of mappings if that’s what you’re interested in

[young vine]

Isn't MCP long dead? Lol

There's no need for it since Mojang puts out mappings now

[sly topaz]

There’s MCP-Reborn but that’s also become inactive as of lately

[robust helm]

@sly topaz alr i was stupid. now that the utils plugin is enabled it works correctly

ty!!

[young vine]

But why

[grim hound]

I need to select at most 16 frames out of a short gif and later reanimate it

[paper viper]

One day there will be a MCP-Reborn-Reborn

or MCP-Reborn^2

[cosmic dock]

and how does one use them?

[grim hound]

vanilla gradle

[short pilot]

hi fellas

my custom entity keeps following even after the player crosses a large distance and im not sure why, since i specified false in the constructor for field followingTargetEvenIfNotSeen

this.goalSelector.addGoal(1, new MeleeAttackGoal(this, 1.0D, false));

Is it to do with the max follow range on the server settings perhaps?

[ivory sleet]

i do believe that's an entity type setting

if i remember my nms correctly

[grim hound]

so how else?

[fickle spindle]

I need diff types of infos about a game like the player count team played amount, map etc I want to make all of that in a var which statement I should use ? Because rn I'm using 4 vars and I don't think this is the right way

[sage perch]

Hi chat

[drowsy helm]

like you want info about the minigame state?

[fickle spindle]

I want to make a var with all this stuff and don't create 10

[drowsy helm]

What you're asking is extremely vague

can you show your current code

[fickle spindle]

I have some public static int/string that I want to list all of them in 1 single var for make it easier to see and don't fill my code with this vars

Other ways I would use a database but I don't have to do any saving data so I think it's useless

[drowsy helm]

sounds like you just need to use a record class?

again, without code I have no clue what you are talking about

[fickle spindle]

I will explain better tmrw

[fickle spindle]

Can you send me a resource for see how this work

[somber scarab]

Hey guys I get a versioning issue when using worldedit's BukkitAdapter..

class file has wrong version 65.0, should be 61.0

[chrome beacon]

Looks like you're using an old Java version to compile

[somber scarab]

I don't believe I updated any packages

why would this happen all of a sudden unless something got updated. but I dont think maven does that on its own?

it has been almost a year since I worked on that plugin so maybe that?

but files have been unchanged

[drowsy helm]

Are you just depending on latest world edit

Or a specific version

[chrome beacon]

Maven uses the jdk set in path

[somber scarab]

            <groupId>com.sk89q.worldedit</groupId>
            <artifactId>worldedit-core</artifactId>
            <version>7.2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>```

[chrome beacon]

You don't need to modify the pom

Just change the version of Java maven is using in your environmental variables

That would be in path or JAVA_HOME

[somber scarab]

im using IntelliJ, wouldnt I just change the project SDK?

[drowsy helm]

You can change the java version in your pom

Environment variable is a round about way of doing that

[chrome beacon]

I believe that sets it for you

Yes

[chrome beacon]

Pointing to the jdk install location there is not recommended

Don't put system specific file paths in there 🙏

[drowsy helm]

What? It’s not pointing to a file location

<properties>
<maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
<maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
</properties>

on phone so no format, but you can set compiler target version

[chrome beacon]

The jdk cannot understand a Java version newer than itself

Which is the issue here

Source/Target won't change which jdk is being used

Only what version the compiler is targetting

So setting that will change nothing

[drowsy helm]

Ah you right

[somber scarab]

I fixed it.

I just forogt to change the project JDK

it was 17

[young void]

why do some people develop plugins in kotlin?

why?

[blazing ocean]

because some people prefer kotlin over java

[young void]

fair enough

[young knoll]

Those people are weird

[young void]

but like why would someone decide that

[young knoll]

-# Gottem

[young void]

also fair

[blazing ocean]

you're weird smh

[young void]

i think it has something to do with peoples background like i come from c# and java is more natural to me

[paper viper]

Nah I think it’s just personal preference

[blazing ocean]

it is just personal preference

[young void]

but personal preference comes from background

[blazing ocean]

says who

[paper viper]

Java was my first language

That doesn’t really apply

[blazing ocean]

I'm probably the biggest kotlin fan in this server and I started out with JS and Java

[chrome beacon]

Java was my first lang as well

[blazing ocean]

so yea no

my friend (@ suitsnap) told me to try kotlin one day and I've been using it for almost two years now yea

[young void]

does it have any advantages to when you coded with java?

[paper viper]

I mean it’s just another language

[blazing ocean]

I mean, look at the docs of the language and see for yourself

https://kotlinlang.org

[weary ridge]

I solved this. This is sent to the client as a SERVER_CHAT packet, so I intercept and cancel it if it has the translation key "sleep.players_sleeping" or "sleep.skipping_night", no need to fake put the player into a bed

[grim hound]

tbf

kotlin and java are pretty similar

java is sometimes slightly longer in some of its definitions

[blazing ocean]

they aren't that similar

[grim hound]

and kotlin is sometimes too implicit

[grim hound]

I mean

var

uh

yeah that'd be it

[blazing ocean]

var being a variable is also something no other languages would dare to do

so unique to java

[grim hound]

and kt

it's better than doing

like wtf rust

let

[blazing ocean]

explicit mutability is a good thing

[grim hound]

aren't editors best for that?

and have the compiler see for itself whether something is actually mutable

[blazing ocean]

are you suggesting mutability to be inferred

that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard lmao

[thorn isle]

i'll take explicit mutability over explicit immutability any day of the week

final abuse in java vars is one of my pet peeves

[blazing ocean]

definitely

[grim hound]

sometimes its just unnecessary to define

[blazing ocean]

no it isn't

[grim hound]

int a = 3

final int a = 3

final not necessary

can be inferred

[blazing ocean]

for locals, maybe

but that just makes things even less clear and more confusing

[grim hound]

what I was going for-

[grim hound]

I'm talking immutable primitives

[blazing ocean]

but, why

[grim hound]

okay, so that we're on the same page

I mean that local variables (be it primitives or object references) should not need to have an explicit mutability keyword used, as it can be inferred by the compiler

[blazing ocean]

.

inferred mutability in some places brings the clarity level down to zero ngl

[thorn isle]

i generally don't like making it explicit either way, because mutability/immutability doesn't really describe what we try to achieve most of the time

[grim hound]

are you coding in a notepad

[blazing ocean]

how is that relevant

[thorn isle]

generally when you want locals to be final, you don't actually want them to be final; you want two or more variables to be coherent

[grim hound]

ah, if only IDEs existed

[thorn isle]

e.g. you have variable a and variable b and some constraint between a and b must always hold; suppose assert (a == 10 - b)

a or b or both or neither being final doesn't quite represent this

mutating one is fine but if and only if you mutate both and respect the constraint

[grim hound]

is there a language that makes this easier somehow

just curious

[thorn isle]

i'm not aware of any that really makes it easy natively, but anything that supports tuples natively makes it easier, since then you can make a and b a tuple

[grim hound]

kinda wild that java.util does not have a Pair class

[thorn isle]

oop purists want you to create a case-specific class for each pair

e.g. Map.Entry is essentially just a pair

i do kind of see the point but it is excruciatingly inconvenient most of the time for sure

[grim hound]

its more than that

its associated with a map

I guess you could instantiate it without a map, but like, why

[grim hound]

yes

I do not see the point

there is an OptionalInt

[slender elbow]

(unfortunately)

[grim hound]

why would there not be a Pair, IntPair etc

[thorn isle]

i hate optionals

[blazing ocean]

optionals are so painful

[grim hound]

We unite then

[ivory sleet]

but we fuck with Option and Maybe :D

[ivory sleet]

tbh, records make it pretty simple to create a specific bi value type

[young void]

hmmm i wonder if we could use npc's with pathfinding algorithm agents

i suppose it has been done before

[chrome beacon]

Npcs with pathfinding has indeed been done before

[drowsy helm]

I just use an invis zombie and make the npc mirror it’s location

[young void]

I want to equip them with guns and make a gta online style

Hmmm

So cool

[chrome beacon]

Could look in to Sentinel

[cosmic dock]

This one? https://github.com/SpongePowered/VanillaGradle

do the Mojang Mappings also make this have "usages"?

[slender elbow]

mojang mappings are just the names of classes/methods/fields

it has nothing to do with the usage of those, no decompiler can heuristically tell where any given 20 or 50 int literal in a method is coming from

[kindred maple]

public void spawnCustomZombie(Location loc) {
        Zombie zombie = loc.getWorld().spawn(loc, Zombie.class);
        zombie.setHealth(20);
        TextDisplay display = (TextDisplay)loc.getWorld().spawnEntity(loc.clone().add(0, 2.5, 0), EntityType.TEXT_DISPLAY);
        display.setText(ChatColor.RED + "❤ " + zombie.getHealth());
        zombie.addPassenger(display);
        zombie.setCustomNameVisible(true);
    }```

so how do i get the textdisplay to actually show up here, zombie spawns fine, no errors, just no display

[thorn isle]

keep in mind that text displays are invisible from behind

so unless you are looking at it from a particular direction, you won't see it

try enabling billboarding on it

code looks fine

[kindred maple]

display.setBillboard(Display.Billboard.CENTER); like this yes?

[thorn isle]

myeah

[kindred maple]

never worked with textdisplays ever 😭

hm okay so yes i can see it fine, but yeah t disappears from behind, any info on how to fix this

[drowsy helm]

Dont think you can for the static ones

You can just mirror it on the other side

[kindred maple]

public void spawnCustomZombie(Location loc) {
        Zombie zombie = loc.getWorld().spawn(loc, Zombie.class);
        zombie.setHealth(20);
        TextDisplay display = (TextDisplay)loc.getWorld().spawnEntity(loc.clone().add(0, 2.5, 0), EntityType.TEXT_DISPLAY);
        display.setText("[RARE] Zombie\n" + ChatColor.RED + "❤ " + zombie.getHealth());
        display.setBillboard(Display.Billboard.CENTER);
        display.setDefaultBackground(false);
        display.setShadowed(false);
        display.setSeeThrough(true);
        zombie.addPassenger(display);
    }```

no clue how but this lets me see the display from behind

[drowsy helm]

Maybe the see through option?

[young knoll]

I mean

If it’s got a billboard set to centre it should never really have a “behind”

It always renders facing the camera

[sonic goblet]

^ not sure the technical side of it but I use billboard text displays as nametags on all the entities on my server and you can see them from all sides

That should work

[kindred maple]

whatever it is, i am glad it worked ahaha, i am wonderng if i can get rid of the dark box that is around the text

[cursive kite]

I am coding a bunch of features and keep getting kicked for

[02:49:53 INFO]: kingbluesapphire lost connection: Internal Exception: java.io.IOException: Error while read(...): Connection reset by peer

How do i find out more

[sly topaz]

is that the only thing that's sent?

[cursive kite]

Yup

[tranquil pecan]

so, the health display gets refreshed when it gets damage?

[mighty wind]

where can i see all the events in spigot

is it possible to listen to player.setHealth

[blazing ocean]

navigate to the Event class and click on implementations in your IDE

[tranquil pecan]

nope

[hushed spindle]

does anyone know why using Player#breakBlock is so much laggier than when a player breaks a block normally ingame

[drowsy helm]

It shouldn’t be

How are you invoking it

[hushed spindle]

i made a custom mining system that sets the players mining speed to 0 and then keeps track of block damage itself, and then when a block should be broken it is

so the player is no longer breaking blocks itself and for every time that they would, a block is broken

so no more blocks are broken than usual

the damage system seems to not be a cause itself but timings are showing that this system is really very laggy with a bunch of players and that Player#breakBlock is the major cause of it

in another matter i made some custom events and invoking those also seems to be disproportionately laggy compared to other spigot events, could be related

are custom events and their listeners not cached?

[drowsy helm]

Show code

[thorn isle]

Show spark report

[somber scarab]

what is the most clean code way of handling alot of messages in the plugin? like help commands and error messages, joining lobby, losing a game and so on

first I had strings lying around the whole code base. then I unified a "message handler" class that can be interacted with

but I still find my solution kind of unclean

basically I have a config file with all the messages the plugin will ever output. I save them each in its own variable and add a public getter for my plugin's use

but I still feel like there could be a more dynamic way of doing this? I'm not sure

[paper viper]

There’s really no other way. I mean you can skip the getter methods and make them static constants because they don’t change. But other than that that’s the most you can really do

[somber scarab]

okay, atleast I know i'm not doing nything stupidly unscalable

[paper viper]

I have a Locale interface with just constants and it’s like 600 lines long

[sullen canyon]

don't cache them and access directly from a config with path

[paper viper]

That’s no different from a constant

[somber scarab]

hmm.. but don't I get a slight performance boost when I read from the cache instead of doing a hundred read opperations each second?

the plugin is a minigame and is supposed to work for days under stress. so initial load times are not that big od an issue

[paper viper]

The issue isn’t performance. You should use a constant for messages because they could be used multiple times (design wise it’s easier to just change the key in the constant), and they are not changeable. Keeping them as a singleton constant would be ideal

[sullen canyon]

don't load your config every single time to read a message, cache it and then access the message, entries inside of the config are basically cached because it's a map inside

[somber scarab]

ahhh I see

[somber scarab]

i understand that I was taking to Fqsler

but finals have to be initialized.

how do I do that when I first have to read the config

[paper viper]

How I do is I have a separate properties file and load it into a ResourceBundle

That’s how most software these days do it

Like the locale_en_us.properties

And then I just have a class dedicated to storing these constants and loading them all at once at start

[somber scarab]

huh.. that's new to me.. do u have a resource out there I can read through? or a video i can watch?

Idk waht ResourceBundles are

[paper viper]

I use minimessage and adventure components to color my messages, as well as arguments

But I have a locale class like this https://github.com/PulseBeat02/MurderRun/blob/main/src/main/java/me/brandonli/murderrun/locale/Message.java

I load my properties through my manager https://github.com/PulseBeat02/MurderRun/blob/main/src/main/java/me/brandonli/murderrun/locale/TranslationManager.java

You don’t have to do this btw

[somber scarab]

I know I'm just looking for a really scalable way to manage my messages before I add 200 messages

also to let users manage their own localizations or to add mroe laguages later

[fickle spindle]

i need to store diff info about a game but i think it's useless to do it with a databse how can i store datas like Player amount, map name, player limit, whitelist, player for team blue, player for team red etc

[robust helm]

variables 🧠

or just in a file

[fickle spindle]

ye i'm currenly using a lot of var there isn't a way for store all with the same var and then like test.playeramount test.x for all the stuff?

[eternal oxide]

This is what Objects are for

[short pilot]

what scenarios would EntitiesLoadEvent be called, besides a chunk being loaded by player?

[young knoll]

Whenever a chunk is loaded I would guess

I assume the game always loads entities when a chunk is loaded? Idk

[azure vault]

np

[azure vault]

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tutorial:Chunk_loader

Every time any entity goes through the portal, it loads the chunk

[vague swallow]

Is there a way to check if a player is pressing w, a, s, d, space or shift when he's sitting on an armor stand?

[short pilot]

i dont think so is there?

maybe listening for things that would correspond to that

but not the keys itself

[drowsy helm]

I believe shift is the only one

You can most definitely do it on something rideable

[pseudo hazel]

isnt there some kinda input event?

[eternal oxide]

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

[vague swallow]

I saw a vehicle plugin one where you could fly helicopters by ascending and descending with space and shift and moving forward and backward with with w and s and turning left and right with a and d

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#getCurrentInput()

[pseudo hazel]

yeah this is one I meant

[vague swallow]

Thanks!

[trim lake]

It is possible to send to the player clickable text outside chat? From what I have looked is not possible in actionbar, scoreboard or title. Or it is?

[pseudo hazel]

you cant

because you cant click on that

[trim lake]

That's what I thought too, just making sure. Thanks

[grim hound]

I'm starting to think there isn't a way to get the actual frames of a gif

[pseudo hazel]

there def is

[grim hound]

then how the fu

does this happen

[pseudo hazel]

I know that aseprite can open gifs as animations

[grim hound]

I mean as BufferedImages in java

[pseudo hazel]

oh well

idk about java

sounds like a java skill issue then

[blazing ocean]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8933893/convert-each-animated-gif-frame-to-a-separate-bufferedimage#10627458

[grim hound]

used this one

first frame is always the background I am losing it

[robust helm]

as youve been told yesterday too, (record) classes is what youre looking for. and at least classes are basic java

[grim hound]

like whyyyy

[grim hound]

this happens every time I try to fix that

[mental frigate]

is it possible to set the amount of an unstackable item, like enchanted book? because ItemStack#setAmount doesnt seem to work

[slender elbow]

first you gotta ItemMeta setMaxStackSize

[mental frigate]

oh thanks, that worked!

[slender elbow]

keep in mind that this will not work if the item is damageable like armour, tools etc

[orchid furnace]

     public void noBlowUpCreeper(EntityExplodeEvent e) {
        if (e.getEntity().equals(EntityType.CREEPER)) {
            e.setCancelled(true);
        }
     }```

anyone know why this isn't working? events are registered and stuff so not quite sure whats going wrong

[eternal night]

an entity isn't an entity type

[orchid furnace]

ah

[blazing ocean]

for enums you can also just use ==

[quaint mantle]

#.getEntity().getType() ?

[mental frigate]

e.getEntity().getType()

[azure vault]

ok so im kinda having a brainfart rn

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_protocol#Teleport_Flags

if i want all except the last one i just do ~0x0100 right?

[azure vault]

another alternative (though i dont recommended doing this, and instead do what the people above me already said) is to do e.getEntity() instanceof Creeper

[slender elbow]

flags &= ~0x100 yes

[azure vault]

Hmmm

im trying to use this packet

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_protocol#Teleport_Entity

to rotate the player's yaw by 3 degrees

PacketContainer headRotation = new PacketContainer(PacketType.Play.Server.ENTITY_TELEPORT);

headRotation.getIntegers().writeSafely(0, player.getEntityId()).writeSafely(1, ~0x0100);
headRotation.getDoubles().writeDefaults();
headRotation.getFloat().writeSafely(0, 3f).writeSafely(1, 0f);
headRotation.getBooleans().writeSafely(0, player.isOnGround());

protocolManager.broadcastServerPacket(headRotation);

when i do this

i get

illuminator3 moved too quickly! 82.34877574138198,-93.0,-182.19995843594901

[thorn isle]

i don't think that has been a bitmask on the packet class for a long time

that's what it is in the protocol but the actual class is like some FlagSet object

[azure vault]

wait

wrong packet

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_protocol#Synchronize_Vehicle_Position

i meant this one

[slender elbow]

https://mappings.dev/1.21.5/net/minecraft/network/protocol/game/ClientboundTeleportEntityPacket.html it's a Set<Relative> what you need to alter

[azure vault]

[private final int net.minecraft.network.protocol.game.PacketPlayOutEntityTeleport.b, private final net.minecraft.world.entity.PositionMoveRotation net.minecraft.network.protocol.game.PacketPlayOutEntityTeleport.c, private final java.util.Set net.minecraft.network.protocol.game.PacketPlayOutEntityTeleport.d, private final boolean net.minecraft.network.protocol.game.PacketPlayOutEntityTeleport.e]

[azure vault]

you were faster than me

how would i do this with protocollib? im not sure if it can wrap enums

[slender elbow]

you can provide your own type adapters for stuff

but idk how

[azure vault]

i love that theres no documentation on this

[quaint mantle]

Is it possible to deliver a message to an offline player?

[azure vault]

what do you mean by that

[quaint mantle]

Save their UUID's to a yaml, get it through the yaml and deliver the stored message?

[azure vault]

sure why wouldnt that be possible

[jagged thicket]

what kind of message are we talking

[quaint mantle]

the message message

like /msg

[quaint mantle]

but won't it return null?

[jagged thicket]

you can check for login event

and deliver message then

[quaint mantle]

No, I mean

When they try to /msg the offline player

Won't it return null?

[jagged thicket]

is /msg vanilla?

💀

[quaint mantle]

ofc not

wait

is it?

[jagged thicket]

same doubt

if it is not

you can make your own /msg lol

[eternal night]

the /msg command is vanilla

[quaint mantle]

Ah

I meant, a custom command

[azure vault]

this packet doesnt exist for me

i imported nms insetad of just api

[quaint mantle]

My brain is still funking out

[azure vault]

but ClientboundTeleportEntityPacket doesnt exist

[quaint mantle]

1.21.3?

prolly outdated IDE

[azure vault]

what?

what does my ide have to do with this

[chrome beacon]

Are you using maven or Gradle?

[slender elbow]

what version too

[chrome beacon]

Old versions of Intellij do not support Java 21 which Minecraft uses and can cause issues with classes missing

[quaint mantle]

^

[chrome beacon]

For some reason it's very common not to keep IJ up to date in here 💀

[quaint mantle]

trust me

one of the reasons why I'm still using 1.8 💀

[chrome beacon]

...

[quaint mantle]

im joking

[floral drum]

I use 1.8.8 with java 21

[azure vault]

gradle

[azure vault]

not with classes missing in the library i imported

its literally not present in the jar file

[chrome beacon]

Which remapper are you using

[quaint mantle]

Anyway, when a player logs into the server, I store their UUID or username in a YAML file. Then I retrieve it from the YAML as a string. Will it return null?

Or am I doing something wrong

[jagged thicket]

why would returning from yaml return null

show code?

[quaint mantle]

I haven't written the code yet

Just throwing some quick questions
