Can I ask whats the best way to see if a potion is water bottle

[trim quest]

I am designing a menu system that will be compatible between versions(1.17-1.21+). However, I am confused about how to achieve this in my project architecture.

1- Should I create a menu system for each version through abstraction and make it acceptable as a menu system in the core?

2- Should I pull the necessary dependencies for my menu system from the appropriate nms version according to the user spigot server version and use those classes for my menu system in the core?

[eternal oxide]

Why are you using NMS for a menu system?

[trim quest]

i think i dont need nms or obc for that

[trim quest]

yeah but it will be one of my api feature

[eternal oxide]

what?

[trim quest]

i will use my api for creating menus in my other plugins

[blazing ocean]

Okay?

[eternal oxide]

Still doesn;t answer why you think you need nms for a menu system

I'll assume your menu is just going to be an inventory?

[trim quest]

yes

[eternal oxide]

then there is zero need for nms

The ONLY thing you have to handle is the ItemMeta difference when using components

[trim quest]

so if i had to show different inventory for each player

i need nms right

[smoky anchor]

no

[eternal oxide]

no

[blazing ocean]

why would you need internals for that...

[trim quest]

im learning

[smoky anchor]

I don't think you should be creating multi-version projects at this point in time...

[trim quest]

im noobie in spigot

[smoky anchor]

exactly

[eternal oxide]

a simple menu system is ok for your first project as a method of learning

but start simple

create a working simple menu first

then expand it

[trim quest]

i used ?gui

i dont have any problem with java features or paradigm rules that we use. im just unfamiliar with API

i mean i just learned OBC / NMS stuff im not practical atm for their use cases.

[smoky anchor]

what is OBC ?

[trim quest]

org.bukkit.craftbukkit

bridge for minecraft internals

an implementation

for bukkit api

[smoky anchor]

I don't think that's where you should have started

[trim quest]

i did minigames before

with spigot

I created BukkitGames

[eternal oxide]

everything you are wanting to do is accessible via the API

[trim quest]

but i didnt use best practices

im just learning it clearly

at least im trying

[trim quest]

thank you

i will test my menu system now

i will type if it wont work via versions

i only used org.bukkit

[jovial grove]

Guys does anyone have a regular expression to check if a minecraft nickname is valid

[eternal oxide]

a quick search results in /^\w{3,16}$/i

[jovial grove]

This does not include character checking :(

[eternal oxide]

true, its only length

[slender elbow]

playerName.length() <= 16 && playerName.chars().filter(i -> i <= 32 || i >= 127).findAny().isEmpty()

glhf

[lost matrix]

There surely is an NMS Method for that. Maybe even in the Profile class

[jovial grove]

Well I'm writing in Python

[eternal oxide]

its going to be [a-zA-Z0-9] or something like

[jovial grove]

Okay ChatGPT helped me
It's ^[a-zA-Z0-9_]{3,16}$

[eternal oxide]

I missed _

[lost matrix]

[jovial grove]

It's not a plugin

[eternal oxide]

didn;t you know REAL Spigot devs use Python!?

[lost matrix]

Jeah my bad

[jovial grove]

There was some Python adaptation of Minecraft btw

Sorry for being off topic

[lost matrix]

?gui

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-modern-approach-to-inventory-guis.594005/

[lost matrix]

You shouldnt need any NMS or ceaftbukkit for this

[trim quest]

thank you

i loved your guide

[slender elbow]

you no longer love it?

[eternal oxide]

It loses its shine once you have read it once

[trim quest]

still

[blazing ocean]

it loses its shine once you've started using interfaces

[narrow kraken]

yo how can i make some1 full invisible like so you cant see armor arrows and main/offhand

[chrome beacon]

Trying to make a vanish plugin?

[amber dawn]

guys do you think that a plugin sort of like the broken skript mod could be a good plugin idea?
like an horror plugin
could be a thing?

[chrome beacon]

If so https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#hidePlayer(org.bukkit.plugin.Plugin,org.bukkit.entity.Player)

[amber dawn]

in PacketEvents I'm trying to spawn a Player with WrapperPlayServerSpawnEntity but EntityTypes.PLAYER doesn't seem to spawn anything while any type if other EntityType, such as an Armor Stand, spawns... I'm working with version 1.21, what do you suggest? the code isn't throwing any errors btw
I think it is missing parameters such as the name and the skin? how could i fix that

[chrome beacon]

Need to send the PlayerInfoUpdate and Metadata packets as well

info -> spawn -> metadata

in that order

[amber dawn]

I don't really know how to do that, you sure? my class looks like this:

public class CreateFakePlayer { public static void spawnFakePlayer(User user, Location location, UUID fakeUUID, int entityId) { WrapperPlayServerSpawnEntity packet = new WrapperPlayServerSpawnEntity( entityId, fakeUUID, EntityTypes.PLAYER, location, location.getYaw(), 0, null ); user.sendPacket(packet); } }

it works for every EntityType besides player

[chrome beacon]

The client has no idea what player just spawned

so it cannot show anything

[amber dawn]

how could I do that?

[chrome beacon]

.

[amber dawn]

I'm new to these things, do you got any doc that shows how to do that

like a starting point idk

[chrome beacon]

I recommend you use Citizens

[amber dawn]

but it costs doesn't it?

[chrome beacon]

It does not

It's pay for support and the Spigot page has a link to the jar

[amber dawn]

ok thanks

[pure dagger]

if i have an entity as a variable, can i kill it if its not loaded? what to do ?

[echo basalt]

if you have an entity variable that isn't loaded I'm fairly confident you have a memory leak

[pure dagger]

i mean everyone is far away from it

?

im not sure how it all works

[clever zephyr]

if it's not loaded , that's a memory leak like what ImIllusion said
you should remove it when needed in the code

iirc Entity#remove should do the trick

[pure dagger]

so if i spawn an entity in code, and everyone will get far away can i do all the things like killing it ?

i thought that entities like disappear when you get far

you know

how does that work

[real lagoon]

Maybe you need to LivingEntity#setRemoveWhenFarAway(true)

[sly topaz]

that's true by default

[pure dagger]

so do i spawn it and just do "setremove"

[sly topaz]

what is your issue, I just hoped into the convo lol

[real lagoon]

Only for some living entities

[real lagoon]

What type of entity are you spawning?

[pure dagger]

i dont understand how mobs work, if i spawn an entity, and everyone gets far away can i kill the entity or do somethin with it ? i thought its not loaded

[pure dagger]

wither skeleton

[clever zephyr]

they disappear in your view not erased from the memory (by default , really depends on the type of the living entity)
try removing it using the method Spinotto mentioned if its a living entity

[real lagoon]

And isn't despawning naturally?

[pure dagger]

no, i dont want it to despawn

[real lagoon]

Try this

[pure dagger]

just have acces to it, and be able to change its hp etc

i checked '.isValid()' and it returns false

[real lagoon]

Because it's unloaded

[pure dagger]

yeah

[pure dagger]

so

they said this

now you say that its unloaded

;-;

what?

[real lagoon]

You have a memory leak because you are keeping a variable of an unloaded entity

[pure dagger]

ohh

oohohoho

[real lagoon]

So you have a variable of an entity that doesn't "exist" anymore

[pure dagger]

what if it has a nametag?

[real lagoon]

It goes back to existence when the chunk is loaded again

[pure dagger]

it wont disappear but will it 'exist'?

[pure dagger]

so its another variable ?

different

[real lagoon]

It persists when the chunk is unloaded and then reloaded

[sly topaz]

i is just a counter, which is wronly using an AtomicInteger for

[real lagoon]

I think

[echo basalt]

so many errors w that class

fun fact: you can use variables in anon classes to bypass the final issue

[pure dagger]

umm okay thanks

[real lagoon]

If you want the entity to vanish when unloaded setRemoveWhenFarAway(true) (if doesn't work try also setPersisent(false))

[pure dagger]

ill try that thin you said

[pure dagger]

no i dont

i want to keep it and have acces

[sly topaz]

AtomicInteger isn't just a counter, it provides atomicity guarantees which are only necessary fo cross-thread operations

[echo basalt]

Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(plugin, new Runnable() {
  int index = 0;

  @Override
  public void run() {
    index++;
  }
}, 20L, 20L);

[real lagoon]

Ah

[sly topaz]

if you want a counter, use a variable inside the anonymous class like Illusion demonstrated above or just an array with a single elem also does the job

[real lagoon]

So you need to check when the entity is unloaded and reloaded with event handlers

[pure dagger]

and do wha t?

[real lagoon]

Or do you want to make the entity always loaded?

[sly topaz]

int[] counter = {0};
Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(plugin, task -> {
  // do the thing
  counter[0]++;
}, 20L, 20L);

also works

[echo basalt]

ew

[pure dagger]

i dont know what you mena, ill say, lets say i want to spawn a mob, have always acces to its health, and kill it after 1 hour

@real lagoon

[sly topaz]

it looks uglier but it's convenient if you access the counter outside of the task

you just need a wrapper around the variable so that the scope of the local variable gets expanded

[real lagoon]

Does it move away from the chunk is spawned in?

Or does it remain stationary?

[pure dagger]

it can move

like its normal mob

[real lagoon]

Listen to EntitiesLoadEvent and EntitiesUnloadEvent to change the value of your variable to the new object when the entity is reloaded (save the UUID of the entity to distinguish it from others)

[pure dagger]

thats how you do it?

but how do i kill it if its unloaded?? hm?

[real lagoon]

Also save the position of the entity and when you want to remove it and it's unloaded get the chunk, addPluginChunkTicket to load it, kill the entity and remove the ticket

[real lagoon]

I was still writing

[pure dagger]

sorry

[real lagoon]

No problem

[real lagoon]

You only need to save the Chunk, not the Location

Anyway, now I'm going to despawn myself, tag me if you encounter some issue

[sly topaz]

you're dividing the step when you should be multiplying it

[pure dagger]

thanks, i hope that will work, but im gonna do it tomorrow probably

[sly topaz]

I am still unsure of what your issue was

you seemed to have been saving entities references, which you shouldn't as most entities become invalid when the chunk gets unloaded

and holding a reference to them is what causes a memory leak, since there's nobody else but your code referencing it and it can't be freed

it happens lol

[pure dagger]

my issue was that i need to kill an entity after an hour and its unloaded

[sly topaz]

you could just check Entity#isValid and if it is true, kill it, otherwise just remove it from the map/list or whatever you're using to track them as it's already dead

[pure dagger]

if its unloaded it always means its dead??

[sly topaz]

isValid checks whether:

• the entity is alive
• the nmsEntity.valid field is true
• the chunk where the entity is at is loaded
• if the entity is still in the world

if any of those is false, isValid returns false, the nms Entity.valid field gets set to false whenever the entity is despawned, and that happens when the entity stops being tracked

[pure dagger]

yeah so it could be alive but not dead

and when you come back its exists again

[sly topaz]

an entity cannot be invalid and alive

so you don't have to worry about that

[pure dagger]

uhm

so if i name tag it, it wont be invalid after getting far ?

im lost

[real lagoon]

Just a thing, effectively you don't need to have an EventHandler for EntitiesUnloadEvent, but only for EntitiesLoadEvent to update your variable value, and since the UUID is already stored in the entity you don't need to save it (same for the Chunk), but you only need to check if Entity#isValid and if not get Entity#getLocation()#getChunk() and then Chunk#addPluginChunkTicket to load it, do whatever you want with the entity (since the chunk will be loaded, EntitiesLoadEvent will be called and the variable will updated) and last remove the ticket from the chunk to unload it

In the EntitiesLoadEvent check if an entity has the same UUID as your Entity#getUniqueId() and update your variable

So you only need to use one variable for the entity

(I think getLocation will work even if the entity is invalid)

[pure dagger]

yeah i think

that will work

but javier said something

which i dont understand

[sly topaz]

I was actually wrong above, an entity can be invalid and alive apparently, but you can just call remove on it regardless and it should be fine

I don't believe it is necessary for one to listen to the entities load event or load the chunk just to remove the entity

[pure dagger]

And if you remove it even if its invalidi it will actually remove it from the world?

How, invalid means its not in the world

Right?

[sly topaz]

invalid means what I said above, generally means the entity has been unloaded since the chunk is unloaded

[pure dagger]

And even if its unloaded i can kill it.

I mean remove it ?

[sly topaz]

I believe so, but if it doesn't then you can just remove them in entities load as Spinotto suggested

[pure dagger]

Okay thanls

[smoky anchor]

I don't think you can do anything to an unloaded entity. It would not save.

[narrow kraken]

no i just want to make the player full invis whilst also beeing able to attack and keep armor

but i dont know hjow to do that

[smoky anchor]

You're saying two different things here
"invisible like so you cant see armor arrows and main/offhand"

[narrow kraken]

yes so i want the player and their armor and arrows stuck iun therm to be invisble to other players whilst still be able to attack /keep armor

[smoky anchor]

So you don't want other ppl to see their armor ok.
You can either use packets to remove the items from the player for other players
Or some stupid solution like hiding the player and using a dummy entity instead of the player just for the hitbox and then transfer the hit :D (dont)

[narrow kraken]

ok thx

[narrow kraken]

hwo do i do packets

i am new to coding sry

[earnest girder]

I'm encountering a visual bug where players launching a custom projectile see it go a little bit to the right or to the left of where they are aiming. This only occurs when the angle is close to being straight (North, South, East, West) but a little bit offset.

However, the actual projectile goes in the correct direction. It just LOOKS like it goes in the wrong direction, but it successfully makes contact with where they are aiming with their crosshair. Here is a video: https://youtu.be/vuQEm_PbzO0

Here is the code that spawns the projectile: https://paste.md-5.net/iyeyarafal.cpp

[chrome beacon]

Believe this is a protocol issue that's been around for a while
EDIT: Protocol not client

[chrome beacon]

What velocity are you using on that projectile

it's clamping the velocity in the packet, so if you're using a high velocity it will desync

[earnest girder]

the length of the vector is 4.5

if I need it to go that fast, theres no fix?

[grim hound]

bruh

my github commit was rejected

and intellij now claims there are no more files to commit

can't even retry

like bruh

[strange ibex]

i think u can click on the branch tab and there should be ur commit that was rejected

[grim hound]

who hallucinated this

[chrome beacon]

3.9 is the cap

[grim hound]

yeah it's there but

[grim hound]

it's the same repository!

why was it the commit link removed?

it was literally linked today and it somehow corrupted (I had a power outage, maybe that's why)

[grim hound]

anyhow, wtf

[thorn isle]

i hate flat ui design

remember when we used to put text on buttons?

MM YES, the circle with a line going through it, I can totally intuit what this button does

[urban cloak]

how big do you want to make this side bar? yes

[umbral ridge]

5 meters

[trim quest]

my command returns usage, im confused

i cant see anything wrong

[umbral ridge]

jesus christ

[umbral ridge]

im sorry but that is a mess

[trim quest]

i agree

[umbral ridge]

in your main class you can register commands with "this" as a parameter for registerEvents

[wet breach]

https://tenor.com/view/it-was-a-total-mess-simon-cowell-britains-got-talent-total-ruckus-that-was-a-total-disaster-gif-26035428

[umbral ridge]

in your plugin.yml you also dont need to specify usage

usage text .. is what you should handle manually

[trim quest]

i will refactor these

i just want to know why this returns usage

there are no error

[eternal oxide]

it returns usage if you return false from your onCommand

[umbral ridge]

if (strings.length() == 2) {
  if (strings[0].equals("open") && strings[1].equals("piano")) {
    this.menuManager.openMenu(new PianoMenu(), player);
  }
}```

open and piano are arguments

what is your main command?

/<main command> open piano

[trim quest]

/menu open piano

/menu is my main command

i guess problem is different because this was work before

[glossy wren]

I've been comissioned to make a plugin for 1.7.10, but I have no clue where to begin with a version so old. Can someone point me in the right direction?

[wet breach]

1.7.10 is relatively easy to work with

just grab the api jar for it and you should be good lol

[glossy wren]

where do i find that is the question

[wet breach]

right, you will have to search for it because buildtools isn't going to provide it unfortunately

why don't you ask the ones who commissioned you for the server jar?

the server jar contains the api and you can just build against that

[glossy wren]

I mean "comission" as in a friend who is running a Mohist server and wants me to write a plugin for him

[wet breach]

and they have 1.7.10 server right?

[glossy wren]

i believe so

[wet breach]

then they can give you the server jar

[trim quest]

why i get this

this works

[wet breach]

@glossy wren check your DM's 😉

[eternal oxide]

thats not the plugin.yml that is in your jar

[trim quest]

wdym ?

this is my demo project

and it is works

but when i move to my multi-module project

its done

[eternal oxide]

you did not specify an api-version in the current jar you are testing

open teh jar and look in its plugin.yml

[trim quest]

so i have to specify api-version in my multi module project right

[thorn isle]

your multi module build script is fumbling the resource packaging and including the wrong plugin.yml

[remote swallow]

did you run a clean package

[young knoll]

You just don’t have an api-version in there

[remote swallow]

scroll up canada man

[trim quest]

im showing 2 different project btw sorry for that

i have to show that my code works

and i type command correctly ingame

[remote swallow]

on the project you just added api-version to

[remote swallow]

did you clean package

[trim quest]

clean, install

[remote swallow]

check the project you are adding to right now, and do another clean package/install

[thorn isle]

the price we pay for legacy remapping nonsense still like a decade later

[trim quest]

i use these

[eternal oxide]

better to do package over instal else you fill up your local repo

however, you still need an api-version in the plugin.yml or it will try to use legacy mapping

even if you put 1.13

prior it will ignore teh version and still work

[trim quest]

but mfnalex didnt specify that, plus which version i have to add

for example

[eternal oxide]

the eraliest version you are building for

[trim quest]

i will support 1.17-1.21 so i have to choose 1.17 right

k

[eternal oxide]

then 1.17

[trim quest]

i also have this

[eternal oxide]

thats usualy META files you can ignore

[trim quest]

fk

this dependency was added 5 times

how i did that i dont know

i deleted

1.25 s

im idiot

[umbral ridge]

hey does anyone know how is this packet called? it's in SYSTEM_CHAT, but is there like a list of packet types or something?

[slender elbow]

just enforce secure chat

🗣️

[young knoll]

Tbf I don’t think I’ve seen any servers that do

Mostly because yknow, chat plugins

[eternal night]

Well

chat plugins should also work fine

[trim quest]

i have still same issue

[buoyant viper]

message previewing got around that didnt they

[eternal night]

proxies are a bit more annoying

they dropped previewing

[trim quest]

command returns usage, in my multi-module project

and other one is still works with the same code

[eternal night]

The server sends the original and the modified. So the client has a little warning if the server changed it and will notify that in the report screen

[buoyant viper]

[remote swallow]

help with what

[trim quest]

"/menu open piano" command returns usage, in my multi-module project
and other one (EranoMenu project) is still works with the same code.

im using exact same code

i changed api-version as elgarl said

[sly topaz]

your getCommand uses Menu while you're using menu to execute

ever since 1.19 or so, command labels are case-sensitive

[trim quest]

i changed after that

and still wont work

and there are no error code

it just returns usage

refresh the page

[sly topaz]

what did you change, the plugin.yml entry or the getCommand parameter? Because both have to be the same

[trim quest]

i make all of them lower case

except showTPS

[sly topaz]

can you push the jar you have in your test server right now to your github repository, that way I can check if there's anything wrong with the jar

[trim quest]

/Erano01/MinecraftRepository-Maven/tree/main/MinecraftPlugins/EranoAPI/Dist/target/EranoAPI.jar

i just pushed

to the github

i tilted to myself

now showtps is also dont work

[remote swallow]

You return false in it

[trim quest]

i literally type /menu open piano

i swear other project works

[sly topaz]

if this shows up then your plugin is probably disabled and that's why the command just shows usage

you have to fix your shading first

[trim quest]

its not disabled i guess

i only do clean, package now as elgarl said

[thorn isle]

error occurred while enabling
it's disabled

do /plugins and it'll show up red

[trim quest]

look at the photo its still in use

[thorn isle]

if any exception reaches up to JavaPluginLoader::enablePlugin without being caught, it will be disabled

[sly topaz]

it apparently doesn't show up red but it should

probably due to the reload, who knows

[trim quest]

k i will restart

i swear this is related to this structure

i feel like that

[sly topaz]

it's just the plugin being disabled

but your structure is in fact messed up if your shading isn't working, because you do have a 1_17_R1 module

[sly topaz]

well, I don't know why it isn't being disabled properly, but it should be and that's probably what's happening anyway

fix that error first and then try the command again

[trim quest]

idk i didnt change anything related to tps

in core

i use latest spigot-api

other nms sub modules uses spigot - mojang remapping

for accessing obc & nms

and in core i setted api-version: 1.17 in plugin.yml

thats what i changed

mfnalex dont use api-version in plugin.yml in his tutorial

[sly topaz]

this has nothing to do with inventories tho

and they probably just forgot

[trim quest]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/maven-multi-module-setup-for-supporting-different-nms-versions/

[eternal oxide]

Its a tutorial not a copy/paste. He only shows what is important

[trim quest]

i didnt

i even use design patetrns

abstract factory method

[eternal oxide]

are you testing on a 1.17 server?

[trim quest]

it was working except menu feature

yes

now im testing it on 1.17

at the first i was testing in 1.21.5

[eternal oxide]

then your shading is broken

[trim quest]

i didnt change my core pom.xml

how can i fix that

[eternal oxide]

from a quick look it seems an issue with yoru dist module/shading

[trim quest]

i dont see any issue

in pom.xml

[eternal oxide]

did you fix the path in the createNMSHandler ?

If you did, open your jar and check you have teh class at

I'm going to guess missing or a typo

[trim quest]

this class is actually exist

OH

[eternal oxide]

check the full path, case sensitive

[trim quest]

hell yeah

i just fixewd

im trying

thank you guys alot btw

[fervent matrix]

Is there a supported way of handling packets during the configuration phase or registering configuration tasks?
I found this message by @sly topaz which seems to imply there isn’t
So I was wondering if plugin channels also receive and respond to configuration-phase packets, or if I’m going to have to use reflection to replace the configuration task queue during PlayerLinksSendEvent?

i love you bro

now there are no error message

everything works

Thank you to everyone who tried to help

You could send the viewing player a packet that says to update the scaled players attributes

[grand flint]

That is what I was planning to, will the attribute work client sided? It is just for cosmetic purposes

[slender elbow]

i wonder how that's gonna work with the hitbox

but sure it'll work until the entity or its attributes are resent

[worldly ingot]

I mean it'll use the server-defined hitbox

At least for any hitbox logic that's server authoritative

[grand flint]

There is no hitbox

It is for cosmetic purposes it's okay

Thanks that works for my needs :)

[fervent matrix]

Changing the scale attribute for the observer will also change how big the observer sees the target’s hitbox

[grand flint]

Yeah that's fine idc about the hitbox

But pretty sure the hit is server sided

[fervent matrix]

Yes, the server will check the target’s distance from the attacker

[grand flint]

Again I don't need a hitbox for the client

[fervent matrix]

But if you want people to be able to fight while seeing them scaled up you’re probably going to have some issues

If this is just for an NPC or something though that doesn’t matter

[grand flint]

I don't care about the hitbox bro 😭

[fervent matrix]

What’s your use case for this?

When it comes to combat:

• If you scale up the target only a little bit, then the observer will have an easier time hitting them than if they were normal size
• If you scale up the target too much, it’ll become harder for the observer to attack them at all (they’ll be pushed away by the scaled up hitbox - not the normal hitbox - and they’ll only be able to attack them if they’re within attack range of their normal hitbox)
• If you scale the target down, the observer has a much harder time hitting them (because the target’s hitbox is smaller for them, and an attack is only attempted if it hits the client hitbox)

[buoyant viper]

a sign to stop building legacy versions

are u running buildtools through cmd, powershell, or Git Bash?

(im assuming windows)

do u have Git installed perchance?

try running from the Git Bash application instead maybe

[eternal oxide]

last I checked BT will not build 1.8 without building a later version first

its missing a dependency, if I remember

[buoyant viper]

nah it can build 1.8 on its own

at least i do think it can

[eternal oxide]

only if the dependency is already in your local maven

[somber scarab]

Hi guys, when it comes to making a bunch of inventory GUIs in my plugin, I need about 5 Inventories and around 20 or so buttons.

is there an easier way to make a gui with item buttons that each have a unique "action" when pressed?

I have not come across an api that does this in the way I want (really customizable)

is there no other way but to write my own lib for it?

[sullen canyon]

?gui

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-modern-approach-to-inventory-guis.594005/

[somber scarab]

very interesting

so far I actually kind of came up with the same structure but with some slight differences

ill read through it when im home ❤️

[buoyant viper]

which version first added custom Text Component colors

1.16?

[umbral ridge]

how do you spawn an entity like an arrow, and then shoot it at a specific direction, from location a to b

that sounds like pain in the ass to do. I'm trying to spawn an arrow and shoot in in between the stair

[smoky anchor]

Do you mean hex colors ?

[buoyant viper]

yes

[smoky anchor]

20w17a 1.16 yes

[buoyant viper]

Pog

[smoky anchor]

(wiki is great for this btw ;) )

[buoyant viper]

yeah i was in the process of reading changelog

figured id find it either there or thru spigot

[smoky anchor]

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Text_component_format and Ctrl+F for hex and go to history

[buoyant viper]

picking minimum api vers i wanted to use

didnt want to deal with component coloring issues, figured id go with whatever version added hex support

ah well thats awkward

time to figure out multi versioning

[smoky anchor]

Gotta do that ugly protection I + hide enchantments for lower versions than like 1.21 or whatever added that :D
You're in for a treat if you're supporting so many versions haha

[buoyant viper]

i feel like supporting only latest and like latest-adjacent just wouldnt be fair for the simplicity of the plugins i have

this is for my common API stuff

[buoyant viper]

1.20.5

[buoyant viper]

can a record class not be package-private?

[eternal oxide]

yes, but it would be restricted to that package

[smoky anchor]

what ? you can do public record
what am I missing

[buoyant viper]

ah, i had my access levels mixed up

i meant protected i think maybe

oh its still not allowed

[eternal oxide]

default IS package-private 😉

[buoyant viper]

oh package-private is NO access mod

i see

[smoky anchor]

oh I misread ok

[eternal oxide]

https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:786/format:webp/1*aeVz-B1n2tHAqYlCgr2xfA.png

[buoyant viper]

ah i just didnt actually realize classes only have 2 access mod states (public, or pkg-priv) lol

[slender elbow]

not that it makes sense for a record to be protected 🥴

[buoyant viper]

i had the wrong idea of what "protected" was tbh

i almost never use it

[ancient plank]

I've used it a couple times

[slender elbow]

I tend to use protected less than package private lol

[buoyant viper]

normally i dont care abt visibility but working on something i need to put a bit of actual effort into

so i wanted to restrict an internal api record

[remote swallow]

thought about modules yet

[buoyant viper]

like java9 modules?

[remote swallow]

no, maven/gradle modules

[buoyant viper]

oh

[remote swallow]

seperate out api into its own module

[buoyant viper]

separate api from impl?

[remote swallow]

yuh

[buoyant viper]

ehh

[ancient plank]

I was gonna do some modding so I need to figure out how to do that properly

but for spigot plugins I haven't had a need

[buoyant viper]

i dont think this is something that would benefit for modularity for me

theres not particularly meant to be /another/ way to implement said api

[remote swallow]

not a module in sense of people make their own impl, an api to interact with your stuff

[buoyant viper]

oh like i just provide them skeleton classes and have the implementation internal?

like spigor?

[remote swallow]

basically yeah

[buoyant viper]

meh

[ancient plank]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/maven-multi-module-setup-for-supporting-different-nms-versions/

[young knoll]

We stab modules

[remote swallow]

no stabbing them

[buoyant viper]

the more ive been thinking about this now the more i want to start the whole thing over 😭

[remote swallow]

okay so, make it do what you want, rewrite it better, rewrite it better, and then rewrite it better, wait 3 months and rewrite it again

[slender elbow]

and each time think to yourself "wtf was I thinking, this is horrible"

[tall dragon]

That's so real

Done that more times than I'd like to admit

[thorn isle]

spigor

[grim hound]

bruh where tf do I host gifs

(to embed on the spigot page)

[wet breach]

can put them on imgur

[grim hound]

its laggy

[wet breach]

believe google drive and one drive works too

[grim hound]

oh

[grim hound]

but uh

how

do I embed them?

[wet breach]

navigate to your gif on google drive and click on it, should give you a direct link

not sure how one drive works as I don't use it

[grim hound]

still

how

on the spigotmc page

can't embed as media

[wet breach]

Get a Shareable Link:

    Right-click: on the GIF file and select "Get link".
    Choose the sharing option: Ensure "Anyone with the link" is selected and "Viewer" access is granted.
    Copy the link: Click "Copy link"

[grim hound]

okay

but

how

do I

have it show

on the spigot page

[wet breach]

by putting it in the image tag

[grim hound]

?

[wet breach]

[img url= " "]Some text if you want in case it doesn't load[/img]

[thorn isle]

make sure you are copying the url of the actual image and not some webpage that just shows the image on it

you can't embed webpages

at least not with bbcode

[wet breach]

technically true but it depends on the site. I used to have a script where you could technically embed sites on a forum 😛

or it showed like a preview of links to websites

[grim hound]

but isn't that what frostalf suggested?

[grim hound]

this

[grim hound]

also, did you mean that literally?

[thorn isle]

idk how google drive works, but typically unless the url ends in a .png or other image file extension, it probably points at a webpage rather than an image

[wet breach]

yeah what I put is valid bbcode for embeddng images

[thorn isle]

how about you paste that link here and somebody looks at it and sees if its an image or a webpage

[kind hatch]

https://www.spigotmc.org/help/bb-codes

[buoyant viper]

im 99.99% certain google drive wont let that be used as a direct url to an image

[grim hound]

using the bbcode editor just pastes the literall code as if it was text

[buoyant viper]

it may embed [on discord] but thats about all

[wet breach]

it will

[buoyant viper]

there was a hack to get a direct url for gdrive files but idr what it is

[wet breach]

its quite possible that spigot has restrictions in that the url must have a valid image extension in the url

which, if that is true then google drive would be more difficult to use

[grim hound]

<iframe src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H7cUug-Sm9Z83ik6fr7pdMKETAALsrpc/preview" width="640" height="480" allow="autoplay"></iframe>
This is what gdrive suggested for direct embed

[kind hatch]

I’m pretty sure spigot does require file extensions.

Imgur links need to have the .png extension for them to load correctly

[grim hound]

but uhhh

[kind hatch]

Wouldn’t be surprised if the same applied to other links.

[wet breach]

try this link

https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=1H7cUug-Sm9Z83ik6fr7pdMKETAALsrpc&export=view&authuser=0

[grim hound]

hmm it tried to load for a sec but

[grim hound]

bam

[grim hound]

its not playable even normally from this link

[slender elbow]

have you considered using not google drive?

[wet breach]

It plays for me

[thorn isle]

this

[grim hound]

what else then?

[blazing ocean]

literally any file host

you could also just host it from your server

[grim hound]

hmm

[wet breach]

wouldn't really recommend it. Considering how much traffic spigot gets

[grim hound]

does not show up for me

[blazing ocean]

oh right

I thought this was for an MC server

[blazing ocean]

forgot

[buoyant viper]

just proxy thru cloudflare

let them handle the caching

[wet breach]

proxying through cloudflare still won't help with the traffic

[thorn isle]

break the image down into minecraft skin sized patches and hotlink them from mojang

free image hosting

[buoyant viper]

LOL

[grim hound]

oh yeah that works

its just not playable

[wet breach]

what browser are you even using?

[grim hound]

brave

[slender elbow]

it also does not work on chrome fwiw

[wet breach]

that is why, I am using firefox

[grim hound]

anyhow

um

imgur

also doesn't work

[wet breach]

kind of ironic

[wet breach]

link?

[grim hound]

https://imgur.com/a/Hr4Mjau

okay, why was this cut short

[wet breach]

seems both imgur and google are doing the same thing

[grim hound]

imgur you sucker

[wet breach]

turning your gif into an mp4

[grim hound]

https://i.imgur.com/SPUNqCu.gif

[wet breach]

https://i.imgur.com/SPUNqCu.mp4

[grim hound]

still

[wet breach]

the link you gave takes me to the normal imgur site to view it

the link I provided is the direct link

[wet breach]

don't believe spigot allows mp4

XD

[grim hound]

does the preview not display gifs?

[wet breach]

no

[grim hound]

ending it with .gif does not change anything

[slender elbow]

the https://i.imgur.com/SPUNqCu.gif will either send you the .gif binary or redirect you to the imgur website based on user agent

[thorn isle]

there are 14 competing standards

[rotund ravine]

Spigot does allow small gifs

[grim hound]

how are you all doing it then?

[grim hound]

mine is 182

[rotund ravine]

Mb?

[grim hound]

ekhem

MB

[rotund ravine]

Too large

[wet breach]

post it, check out your page, edit, post again, edit again etc etc

[grim hound]

noticed

[thorn isle]

at some point embedding a youtube video is the most viable option

[grim hound]

what are you hosting on?

[slender elbow]

lol

[grim hound]

I noticed that isn't very efficient in attracting attention

[wet breach]

I used to host on photobucket but recently they nixed my free account

[rotund ravine]

@vagrant stratus isn’t it like 5mb of smth or what was it. Think it was super low

[vagrant stratus]

@rotund ravine ?

context?

[wet breach]

isn't that for direct uploading?

[thorn isle]

the thing with gifs is that they turn huge very quickly

[rotund ravine]

Gif size limits on resource pages

[vagrant stratus]

No idea

[rotund ravine]

Ah

[grim hound]

what other format does spigot support?

[slender elbow]

just embed a youtube video

[grim hound]

it still won't play automatically

[blazing ocean]

which is good

[rotund ravine]

I usually just try to keep it as still images

[wet breach]

why does it need to play automatically?

[blazing ocean]

auto-playing videos make me exit a page immediately

[wet breach]

my browser doesn't play stuff automatically

since I have it set to block anything that does

[rotund ravine]

I find it fine for some things, buttt not this

[pliant topaz]

Me everytime I listen to music and some random news article starts autoplaying a video to the article and stops my music: nope

[buoyant viper]

https://imgur.com/SPUNqCu.gif

i think u can just put .gif at the end of imgur url and be fine

[rotund ravine]

Still a 5mb limit

[buoyant viper]

theres a limit on external url file size? tf lol

[wet breach]

yeah I thought it was for direct uploading

I am pretty sure external linking didn't have a limit or was significantly higher

[rotund ravine]

Oh maybe

I got yelled at it for my signature being too big once

Prolly different

Hopefully

[wet breach]

maybe too big as in it took up too much screen space?

not that its file size was too large XD

[buoyant viper]

i guess maybe its bc spigot proxys multimedia

[wet breach]

spigot has the bandwidth, just direct uploading consumes hard drive space

[buoyant viper]

proxying might involve caching which could also take up drive space

[wet breach]

not on the spigot site

webservers when they proxy something, don't actually save anything unless you actually setup caching for such things, otherwise its all bandwidth

bandwidth is easier to manage then an ever increasing storage XD

[slender elbow]

hence the words "might" and "could"

[wet breach]

yeah but spigot isn't caching that stuff from other places

[slender elbow]

i'd love to know how you are certain of it

not that i care ultimately but

[wet breach]

well, all the plugins currently on spigot easily fits on a 1tb hard drive

think last it was calculated from a couple of years ago, all the plugins take up like 300 or so gb of space

knowing that, there is probably 2 boxes for the site

[slender elbow]

and what does that have to do with the proxying configuration?

[wet breach]

go ask him if you really want to know

point is, the spigot site isn't caching stuff from other places because that would literally be dumb to do. Maybe cloudflare might do it on their end but that isn't spigot doing it

[urban cloak]

Discord does it too for external media

People could track the activity on their page if it wasnt cached

[wet breach]

not sure what you are talking about

[urban cloak]

If you send a link that is a video/image file, the data youre seeing as an embed does not come from that link, rather from discords servers

[wet breach]

ok we are not talking about discord

discord is hosted on google api servers

[urban cloak]

Well im just saying that it apparently does make sense, otherwise discord wouldnt be doing it that way

[wet breach]

discord does it that way otherwise loading times would take forever and some things would be broken when going back in history

also discord likes to save everything

[urban cloak]

Ye so you said it would make no sense to do, now youre bringing arguments why it does make sense. So spigot might be doing it too, no?

[wet breach]

it makes no sense for spigot to do it

I wasn't talking about everyone else

you are the one that brought up discord, when the topic was about spigot website o.O

spigot has no interest in saving anything/caching. Like why would spigot care that your resource page broke because of some media links? The reason it doesn't make sense for spigot to cache anything that is external is because all it would take to bring spigot down would be to have enough visitors to hit the site to fill the entire hdd with caching, or at minimum break the proxying as it can no longer cache. I have no idea what the daily visitor count is for spigot but it is quite high. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire spigot site is hosted on a 500GB SSD with maybe a second 500GB ssd or 1TB HDD

[thorn isle]

but muh fingerprinting

[urban cloak]

why would more visitors result in more cache usage?

and maybe it would make sense after 18 years to move away from the hard drive in your basement and embrace newer technology like object storage

it would probably even be cheaper than the ssd

[warm mica]

Uh no. Object storage is insanely expensive

[warm mica]

Because that would result in more things that get frequently accessed

[wet breach]

spigot isn't my website, however even if it was I would not spend a whole lot on it either in terms of hardware when it isn't necessary

[thorn isle]

if it ain't broke don't touch it

[wet breach]

exactly

[thorn isle]

paper hangar learned that the hard way

[urban cloak]

then swap "your" for "someones" idc

[urban cloak]

how? if theres in total 1 mil external media links in all resource pages that wouldnt turn into 2 mil cache entries because every page is visited twice

[wet breach]

websites were serving millions of visitors long before this new tech just fyi

therefore that tech is super cheap to rent and sufficient

why spend more?

[thorn isle]

the guys were literally melting over the website shitting bricks due to some threading deadlock issue

[warm mica]

I doubt that everything is cached permanently at all times

[wet breach]

there is a limit in how much can be cached

[thorn isle]

the word for this is cache churn

[wet breach]

there we go

[urban cloak]

as if that couldnt happen with a php 3.6 website

[wet breach]

I have never had a php website deadlock on me, maybe a experimental branch sure but you would need to also be using fpm

without fpm its impossible

[warm mica]

How is that even supposed to work, all requests get handled on a single thread with php

[wet breach]

unless you are using fpm

[urban cloak]

ye and its about as impossible to deadlock a jetty server

[urban cloak]

ye, if you dont factor in any costs except the power usage of the ssd

[wet breach]

https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/issues/6193

hmm not so sure about the impossibility to deadlock a jetty server

[urban cloak]

did you read the thread? xd

[warm mica]

Even then object storage is more expensive

[urban cloak]

how?

[wet breach]

yes, they are complaining about their jetty getting deadlocked

which you said was impossible or nearly impossible to do

[urban cloak]

if you do Thread.wait() and never wake it up in php then you deadlock it too

[slender elbow]

it isn't jetty that is deadlocked

if you lock on a monitor without ever releasing it, that's your shit lol

not jetty's

[warm mica]

Guess where the stuff on a block storage is stored on

[urban cloak]

an ssd

[warm mica]

Php will kill it on its own after some time

[wet breach]

yeah php will kill stuff, and same with apache and nginx

[urban cloak]

cool

[wet breach]

yep indeed

old tech for the win

[urban cloak]

until you need it to take that long

[wet breach]

you could tell it to allow it to take that long

its a parameter

[urban cloak]

cool

so i could implement that in jetty too

[warm mica]

That's rarely ever the case

[urban cloak]

SSE?

downloads?

[wet breach]

anyways seems redrhino is so desperate to prove new stuff is always better I guess and that spigot caches when its not necessary or needed

old stuff works plain and simple

[urban cloak]

yeah

but i think you shouldnt not use new stuff just because its new

[wet breach]

I don't use new stuff because it is rarely needed

[thorn isle]

it's WEB SCALE and on the CLOUD and scales HORIZONTALLY

[wet breach]

we should go diagonally

because no one does that

[thorn isle]

they need to invent a new dimension so they can write a new database engine that scales along that dimension

[wet breach]

lol

[urban cloak]

what even is the third dimension called?

[thorn isle]

i call it blurple

[ancient plank]

im hype to be able to chain entities with leads

[urban cloak]

depth?

[wet breach]

I find it interesting you can float them all away with a ghast

[thorn isle]

generally yes

[urban cloak]

how blurple?

i would call it blue

cause x and y are green and red

[thorn isle]

did they fix the infinite accumulation of falling damage when you suspend something with a lead

[urban cloak]

i think they did that a while ago

[thorn isle]

neat

[wet breach]

I forgot that was a thing

[thorn isle]

would be a shame for me to float away my livestock with a ghast only for them to implode when they land on the ground again

[wet breach]

could you imagine how many people would be so upset at this?

after seeing the cool images

to only try it out and just like have everything die in front of them

[thorn isle]

lmao

they should add it back because that would be kind of funny

[wet breach]

Float away my friends, grab this leash we are going to go to safety

theres the ground lets go

You Died

[wet breach]

you could turn this concept into a minigame

where you have to keep the ghast floating otherwise everyone dies

have to do certain things to ensure that

make a bedrock world with 1 block high lava

[ancient plank]

did they fix the fall damage with leads issue

[wet breach]

really I have no idea

but I would imagine so since I haven't heard anyone complaining

https://tenor.com/view/benjammins-harness-happy-ghast-ghastling-riding-the-ghast-gif-15516304200936692117

[thorn isle]

amazing

[thorn isle]

can players hang from leads like this i wonder?

would be quite cool but i kind of doubt it

we could have benji jumping and grappling hooks and other cool things

[wet breach]

actually not sure about that

but I see it being doable though

[thorn isle]

it'd be a bit difficult to do on the server side, but if it's done on the client it should probably be as simple as copying some of the leash logic from entity tick

i have a feeling mojang didn't bother however and leads just go one-way

maybe not, i haven't started up .5 yet to take a look

[somber scarab]

remember me sir?

I remember you

[wet breach]

well, I am quite popular

[somber scarab]

I told you I'll make the best Floor is Lava minigame out there

[wet breach]

so no surprise if someone remembers me

[wet breach]

I remember you now

[somber scarab]

:)

I made teh best floor is lava plugin out there

[wet breach]

so did you accomplish that goal?

nice

[somber scarab]

but I aint stopping here

I'll make it crazy. with guis and abilities and classes and chaos events in game

[wet breach]

interesting

[thorn isle]

make it have floating ghasts that players have to hang from with leads

and the floor is lava

[somber scarab]

is that possible?

[trim quest]

want to depend my other plugins to my multi-module (maven) api plugin, which module i should depend to my plugin?
core? dist ? or root?

[somber scarab]

I thought players are the ones who grab entites where they want, not the other way

[trim quest]

i guess core

[ivory sleet]

i mean ideally u may have an api module that u can depend on during compile time

[thorn isle]

that's how you will want to do it, as if you depend on the root module, you will also easily be including all the transitive dependencies from all the child modules

and in your case that will be like 100 different versions of nms, making the dependent project practically un-buildable

[chrome beacon]

@ivory sleet

[thorn isle]

clown

are these generally compromised accounts or flat out bots?

[quartz relic]

would anyone happen to know how i would get the Statistic Playtime of a player? the old way dont work anymore

int ticks = player.getStatistic(Statistic.PLAY_ONE_MINUTE);

Is how i use todo it

[chrome beacon]

That hasn't changed

[smoky anchor]

?notworking

[undone axle]

"Does not working" is a useless statement. Please describe what exactly is not working, what you expect it to do, and what actually happens. If you get any console errors, also ?paste the entire stacktrace.

[quartz relic]

the "Statistic" shows up red

[thorn isle]

what does the red say when you hover over it

[quartz relic]

cant resolve symbol ''Statistic''

[chrome beacon]

If you're using Intellij make sure it's up to date

[quartz relic]

ill see if it needs an update, been awhile since ive done minecraft stuff

[thorn isle]

this and make sure you've actually imported it at the top of the class file

[quartz relic]

So when i use to open intellij it would let me know if there was an update, it no longer does that so i assume its the correct version?

[smoky anchor]

Go to Help and About, see what that says

[quartz relic]

sorry for all the noob questions, it really has been a HOT minute since ive touched minecraft stuff

[quartz relic]

update was there and it is now updating

[chrome beacon]

Might have to run it a couple of times

[quartz relic]

I appreciate you guys for helping, its all working now. spent like an hour trying different ways to get Statistics for nothing LOL

[buoyant viper]

https://github.com/winnpixie/commons-spigot/tree/main/src%2Fmain%2Fjava%2Fio%2Fgithub%2Fwinnpixie%2Fcommons%2Fspigot%2Fconfigurations i ended up abstracting it a little bit but i still provide my own implementation @remote swallow

i was gonna have it be just an interface but i just hate boilerplate of adding fields that would be present in all implementations (ie. the ConfigurationAdapter)

i might abstract it further and/or split it from my spigot commons lib but idk, and nor have i fully ruled out using maven modules to separate API from implementation..

[stuck oar]

Whats a good way to check if the inventory that someone clicked in is the inventory that you need?

[chrome beacon]

Compare the inventory instance

[stuck oar]

How do i do that? is there a feature for that?

[chrome beacon]

if(event.getInventory() == myInventory)

[grand flint]

If I have a coin that is in the same place for everyone and it dissapears for the person that picks it up, aka the others can still pick it up, should I add the coin with packets and remove it with packets, or should I add it to the server and remove it with packets

[chrome beacon]

Spigot has the Player#hideEntity method

No need to manually send any packets

[rotund ravine]

Yeah, just make it non pickupable as an item and hide it when a player “picks it up”

[thorn isle]

i'd spawn a separate item for each player, and then make it only visible and pickable by that player

since just hiding the entity won't display the item pickup animation, which can look a bit unintuitive for the player who picks it up

alternatively do what tan juck said but send an item pickup packet before hiding the item

[misty oak]

I forgot something very simple, help, how can I prevent the lava from spreading when I put lava with a bucket?

This is my current openscoreboardcommand code but it doesnt show the player an scoreboard.

package de.constt.idleeClicker.commands;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.scoreboard.*;

public class OpenScoreboardCommand implements CommandExecutor {
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender commandSender, Command command, String s, String[] strings) {

        if(commandSender instanceof Player) {
            ScoreboardManager manager = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager();
            assert manager != null;
            Scoreboard scoreboard = manager.getNewScoreboard();

            Objective objective = scoreboard.registerNewObjective("test", "dummy", "Scoreboard Title");
            objective.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.SIDEBAR);

            Score score = objective.getScore("test");
            score.setScore(3);

        }

        return true;
    }
}

Where are you setting the scoreboard for the player

[drifting bluff]

Oh I forgot that...

Now It works! Is there an way to set the scoreboard of an player automaticly when they join

[stuck oar]

they are in 2 different classes

[chrome beacon]

There are many ways of getting data from another class

?di is a common one

[somber scarab]

is it possible to set a display name of an ItemMeta using adventure components?

Im not sure how to format a component so that it works with ItemMeta display title

[restive mulch]

on join event or u can delay it so it runs a bit after joining to prevent nulls

[buoyant viper]

nah

Spigot is strictly Strings only still

cough cough nudge nudge @worldly ingot

[somber scarab]

wait so you're telling me I can do it if I switch to paper?

[restive mulch]

wym

[buoyant viper]

(full Componentization PR pls)

[chrome beacon]

yes

[buoyant viper]

yeah paper embraces Components

[remote swallow]

or use the bungeee serializer that may or may not work still

[buoyant viper]

Spigot is getting there (cough cough nudge nudge @/Choco)

[chrome beacon]

in Spigot you'll need nms or unsafe

[somber scarab]

okay so how hard is it to switch to paper on a large project <.<

[remote swallow]

https://github.com/KyoriPowered/adventure-platform/tree/main/platform-bungeecord this exists

[chrome beacon]

That will get you a component

however there's no method to use it with

[remote swallow]

ah true forgot that part

[remote swallow]

try and see, do note you will need to go to paper for support if you do

code util and pom

if u have gradle u can convert it easily im lazy

[chrome beacon]

That will strip important information that cannot be represented as a string

[buoyant viper]

like not at all lol

just change the Spigot repo url and ur spigot dependency to paper

[restive mulch]

😭

[buoyant viper]

the API will still be the same (for like 99.99% of stuff) since Paper was built on Spigot

[somber scarab]

ah done

nice

[grand flint]

what

why do you always say some confussion shit

olivos solution was more than enough 🙏

[thorn isle]

does that pay the pickup animation? i don't think it does

[grand flint]

its a custom model

with modelengine

the player doesnt acutally pick it up

its a virtual coin

an animation plays if u pick it up

[thorn isle]

then yeah hiding it is the best option

[grand flint]

then how should i store the players who pickedit up on the server

should i check if its hidden if they try to pick it up

or store in a map who picked up which coin

[thorn isle]

as in what olivo suggested

how you want to persist it depends on how you want it to work, really

[grand flint]

its a minigame

so coins are one time per game

they are stored in a database later but that doesnt matter

[thorn isle]

you could have a database; you could store the set of picked up coin id's in the player pdc; you could store the set of players who picked up a coin on the coin's pdc

[grand flint]

no

coins are stored in a datbase but i wont store the session coins in a database

thast probs the most unefficient solution

ight look, i got a map, it has 5 coins, each player can pick up the coin and it disseapears for them

how should i check on the server if the player picked up that coin already

[thorn isle]

if it's a minigame and you don't need the data to persist across sessions, a player id -> set of picked up coin id's map in memory is the most straight-forward

then query that map and set to see whether the player has picked up the coin

[grand flint]

so map yeah?

[thorn isle]

Map<UUID,Set<Coin>>

where the UUID key is the player's unique id

[grand flint]

yeah oki dw

[thorn isle]

could also be a Set<UUID> if you want to refer to coins by entity uuid or something

[grand flint]

also scale thing works perfect

[buoyant viper]

Holy shit shes small

[thorn isle]

i think some nametag plugins have trouble with scale since the scale attribute doesn't change the riding entity height

    @EventHandler
    public void onBlockExplode(BlockExplodeEvent event) {
//        Block explodedBlock = event.getBlock();

        // Mistake here was assuming the block explode was for each individual block omg - 4/19/2025
        Iterator<Block> iterator = event.blockList().iterator();

        while (iterator.hasNext()) {
            Block block = iterator.next();

            if (block.getType() == Material.DRAGON_EGG) {
                System.out.println("Explosion detected dragon egg");
                EggData eggData = getKingdomEgg(block);

                if (eggData != null) {
                    System.out.println("Explosion detected kingdom egg");
                    iterator.remove();
                }
            }
        }

//        if (!(explodedBlock.getType() == Material.DRAGON_EGG)) {
//            return;
//        }
    }

does anyone know why my explosion listener isnt even picking up a dragon egg in the list of detonated blocks

ive confirmed there is indeed a dragon egg, but the first print statement will not fire

[young knoll]

Can dragon eggs even blow up

[short pilot]

im going to print the entire blocklist to see

[young knoll]

Huh yeah it can

It’s fairly blast resistant but it can

Are you causing a block explosion?

[languid otter]

Hi, I would like to know how to create an NPC, because according to what I found online, I need to use certain classes that are not present in my version of the Spigot API (1.21.R4).
For example: ServerGamePacketListenerImpl cannot be found.

[short pilot]

i'm summoning a tnt on top of it to test

[young knoll]

Those aren’t part of the api

?nms

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

[young knoll]

TNT is an EntityExplodeEvent

Since it’s an entity

[short pilot]

ah shoot you're right

the question must be asked then, what is blockexplodeevent for

can't think of any blocks that exploed without being converted to entity

[young knoll]

Beds

In the nether and end

[short pilot]

you're so right

[languid otter]

BuildTools was already installed and I can use NMS but some files has missing

[short pilot]

yup that fixed it, thanks

[grand flint]

the endstone thing as well

tombstone

no 😭

lodestone?

[short pilot]

respawn anchor

[kind hatch]

What files?

[drowsy helm]

Are you using the right dependency?

[grand flint]

Does anyone have that clock icon that works in the scoreboard

found it
