[tribal wraith]

I want the mob to walk backwards

Not look backwards while walking

Is that what you're describing for ?

[sly topaz]

what does it mean to walk backwards

[tribal wraith]

Sorry if I wasn't clear

[somber scarab]

what's the best minecraft sound to mimic the sound before we're about to sneeze
like "ah-.. Ah.. ahh- " before the Achoo!

[sly topaz]

because it seems you're trying to make it look backwards while walking towards certain location from your code

[tribal wraith]

Walking in a direction but facing forward towards the player

Opposite of where it's facing

Same thing I guess, maybe it's easier to implement if I describe it like that ?

[sly topaz]

then yes, you do want to modify the LookControl

[tribal wraith]

I'm super lost looking at the look control class, I'm editing the tick() method, right ?

[sly topaz]

yes

if you just want it to always face the player, then you may not have to modify anything though

[tribal wraith]

Even while it walks backwards?

[sly topaz]

even while it walks towards anything

[tribal wraith]

My problem is when I edit it to face the player, it cancels out because the nav system makes it face where it's walking

Then it slows down

I would imagine it's the movecontrol ? I'm not sure

[sly topaz]

the navigation system kaes it face where it is walking because that's where the LookControl's target is set at

if you set the LookControl to where the player is, then it'll face the player

so, call mob.getLookControl().setLookAt(...) after calling moveTo and check if it faces the player

[tribal wraith]

Yea that's what I'm doing right now and it does this ^

The check will be false, it's not facing the player

Sorry if I'm a broken record here, but I don't know what you mean

[granite python]

hi guys! how can I start developing plugins or mods to MC? is there any source where I could start learning about it?

I do work as a dev, but never touched MC or game related development stuff

[sly topaz]

I assume the PathNavigation sets the wanted position every time it ticks so it resets, but I can't exactly find where

I'll ping you when I find where

[mortal vortex]

Do you know how to code in Java @granite python?

That's your step 1... Know Java.

[tribal wraith]

Awesome thank you

[sly topaz]

if you have some basic understanding of programming in general then you should pick it up pretty fast

I recommend Jetbrains's Academy Java Course for a quick overview of the language

[granite python]

I don't, but generally if you know one language I don't think there would be big problems learning another one in the run
my thing is actually learning specifically towards game/mc dev, which is totally new to me... I don't know any source or how to start or anything actually 😅

[mortal vortex]

Okay. Well what languages do you know?

Anything object oriented, or less abstract.

[granite python]

Mainly TypeScript, and I've been studying C# for some weeks now, which some friends of mine told me that are pretty similar to Java

[mortal vortex]

Yeah alright. That works.

[granite python]

have had some past contacts with Go and Kotlin too

[mortal vortex]

Go with this.

Learn basics of Java

you can even do it along with learning to make plugins

[blazing ocean]

If they know kotlin and C# I'm guessing they can understand java as well

[sly topaz]

eh, I've played around with haskell, doesn't mean I can realistically code anything with it 😛

[blazing ocean]

that's just haskell

[granite python]

the logic for most things just repeats in a different way

[blazing ocean]

yeah

[echo basalt]

game dev and mc dev often use different structures

game dev is a lot more advanced imo

[blazing ocean]

you can't realistically code anything with haskell anyway

@ steel

[granite python]

yeah, thats why I wanted to build something on top of what is already existing (such as modding, servers, plugins, etc)

[sly topaz]

I was trying to be subtle rad, smh. You're gonna hurt the compsci majors

[blazing ocean]

aka steel

[blazing ocean]

yeah, but I think if you know C# you'll learn and understand java quite quickly

since they're syntactically pretty similar and are both OOP

[granite python]

but where can I learn to make plugins? I honestly just intend to skip Java and learn it on the run lol

[blazing ocean]

you really just set up a spigot project and start making one

you can pick your poison with build tools - maven and gradle, it doesn't really matter which one you use

[sly topaz]

the entrypoint is onEnable (for the most part), you have to extend JavaPlugin

then the rest is mostly just learning what events are available

[drowsy token]

How can I get nms dependencies like "import net.minecraft.server.1_12_R1.level.ServerLevel" rather than "import net.minecraft.server.level.ServerLevel"?

[sly topaz]

the package doesn't have the version number anymore since a few versions ago

the craftbukkit ones still do, but not the NMS ones

ah you're using 1.12

[drowsy token]

emmm I need all of them,all version

[sly topaz]

well, if you imported spigot as a dependency, it should just have the version in the package name by default, there's no remapping in 1.12

[drowsy token]

just import server jar file?

[sly topaz]

if you're using a build system, then you should be able to import it from your local maven repository as long as you have ran BuildTools at least once for that version

[tulip thicket]

Hey guys!
Now I'm trying to create an addon for weapon mechs

Its behaivour is to apply skin with specific conditions

Probably better to send it directly to wm server
I've already done it, so I want to post it here, maybe can find some help

Here is my basic logic of applying skin(I know about native method, but it seems work without it, and also I've tried it and won't help):

   private void applySkin(Player player, ItemStack originalWeapon, String skin) {
        ItemStack skinnedWeapon = originalWeapon.clone();
        CustomTag.WEAPON_SKIN.setString(skinnedWeapon, skin);
        
    } 

I want to create my own custom logic of applying skins in weapon mechanics (last ver. 1.21.3)

When I apply skin it doesn't show in game at all, (only if try to move smth work)

With NBT tags everything is fine (judging by logs)

Although logic works fine if I add an additional event of moving or teleporting

But, in addition, it looks a little bit awkward
I wonder is there any method to apply skin without such behaivour?

I asked AI and his suggestions was to use

player.updateInventory();
//or
   player.getInventory().setItemInMainHand(weapon);

Also, he suggested to use some deep logic of minecraft with protocol lib
but I'm a newbie and have no idea in such things

Really tough problem that killed me about a week or more
Seek for any help!

[drowsy token]

I will try

[drowsy token]

it seems no version info into classpath after I unzip jar file

[sly topaz]

why are you unzipping the jar file

how are you handling your dependencies

are you using maven/gradle? Or your IDE's dependency management?

[drowsy token]

yes maven

<dependency>
<groupId>org.spigotmc</groupId>
<artifactId>spigot-api</artifactId>
<version>1.20.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<scope>provided</scope>

<groupId>org.spigotmc</groupId>
<artifactId>spigot</artifactId>
<version>${remapped.version}</version>

<classifier>remapped-mojang</classifier>
</dependency>

[sly topaz]

that isn't 1.12

if you are using 1.20.4, then there's no version in the package name

I am unsure of what you're trying to do honestly, what are you even using NMS for?

[drowsy token]

yes Im trying to using a multiple version nms

[pure dagger]

how to make player unable to put things in top inventory but be able to do things in the bottom inventory

would i have to check for all cases, shift clicking, double left clicking, dragging manually ?

[young knoll]

Yes

Or just fill any empty slots in the top inventory

[sly topaz]

I mean, for the basic things you just have to cancel inventory click and drag if clicked inventory is top inventory, or it is bottom inventory but inventory action is collect to cursor/all

[pure dagger]

still can double click to collect them

[pure dagger]

you mean that its bottom but its double click ?

[sly topaz]

double or triple click, yes

[pure dagger]

how do i check if any item from top inventory is taken by that

can i ?

[sly topaz]

you can just check the inventory action/click type

[pure dagger]

but will there be difference between when player takes items only from bottom inv by double clicking (doesnt change the top inv), and when player takes items from top inventory?

if i added unuique PDC to the top inv items it would be sure that they cant take it

but any other way ?

[sly topaz]

I wonder, how does the server handle collect to cursor, since it is technically multiple inventory clicks at once

does it just call an individual event for each modified slot?

[pure dagger]

its ClickType.DOUBLE_CLICK

[sly topaz]

I guess it doesn't necessarily count the collected slots as interactions

[pure dagger]

if you double click the event is called 2 times

1. LEFT
2. DOUBLE_CLICK

[sly topaz]

Make sure to check if it is InventoryAction.COLLECT_TO_CURSOR rather

[pure dagger]

whats the differenc

[sly topaz]

Inventory action will cover more cases I imagine

I do wonder if one can avoid collecting all items from a specific inventory without essentially recreating the action

[pure dagger]

whattt

what do you mean i dont get it

[pure dagger]

i just cancelled double click no matter hat

i did this

@EventHandler
    public void onInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent event) {
        Inventory top = event.getInventory();
        Inventory clicked = event.getClickedInventory();

        // if blacksmith inventory is not open, return
        if (!blacksmithInventories.contains(top)) {
            return;
        }

        // player clicked on the blacksmith inventory
        if (clicked == top) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            return;
        }


        // player clicked on bottom inventory
        ClickType clickType = event.getClick();

        switch (clickType) {
            case DOUBLE_CLICK:
            case SHIFT_LEFT:
            case SHIFT_RIGHT:
                event.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }

@EventHandler
    public void onInventoryDrag(InventoryDragEvent event) {
        if (!blacksmithInventories.contains(event.getInventory())) {
            return;
        }
        for (int rawSlot : event.getRawSlots()) {
            if (rawSlot < event.getInventory().getSize()) {
                event.setCancelled(true);
                return;
            }
        }
    }

[hard socket]

packets are still needed for changing a player nametag?

[blazing ocean]

they never have been

if you just want to add a prefix/suffix or colour it, use teams

if you want to completely edit it or use more than the 16 legacy colours, you've got to use a text display

[hard socket]

text display and make it follow the player?

I want to completly edit it

[blazing ocean]

add it as a passenger

[hard socket]

and hide the nametag?

[blazing ocean]

teams have an option for that

[hard socket]

alr will give that a try thx

[umbral ridge]

is there an event for water freezing

how do I detect it

when water changes to ice

naturally

[sonic goblet]

BlockFormEvent iirc?

[umbral ridge]

ohhh I see

ty

[hard socket]

btw PlayerProfile wont work?

[blazing ocean]

?

[hard socket]

PlayerProfile api

public interface PlayerProfile extends Cloneable, ConfigurationSerializable

that will not work?

[peak depot]

wait so we actually still make plugins in 2025

thats crazy

[hard socket]

@blazing ocean

            TextDisplay nametag = player.getWorld().spawn(loc, TextDisplay.class, textDisplay -> {
                textDisplay.text(nameComponent);
                textDisplay.setBillboard(Display.Billboard.CENTER);
                textDisplay.setShadowed(true);
                textDisplay.setSeeThrough(true);
                textDisplay.setViewRange(64.0f);
                textDisplay.setInterpolationDelay(1);
                textDisplay.setInterpolationDuration(5);
                textDisplay.setAlignment(TextDisplay.TextAlignment.CENTER);
            });
            player.addPassenger(nametag);
            nametag.addScoreboardTag("nametag_" + player.getUniqueId());```

[blazing ocean]

well, are you adding them to a team that hides their username?

[hard socket]

add the text display?

I added the player

Visibility.NEVER

[blazing ocean]

don't use lunar client then

[pure dagger]

does Inventory.setItem(int, ItemStack) clone the itemstack ?

changing the amount doesnt work after i set it so ye

[hard socket]

I was conserned about the text display being down on my head

thats from lunar ik

[blazing ocean]

add a vertical translation

[hard perch]

Hey, I'm trying to create a ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket using the mojang mapping. I did this but I didn't find how to change the UPDATE_LISTED boolean to false :
Action action = Action.UPDATE_LISTED; EnumSet<Action> actions = EnumSet.of(action); ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket packet = new ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket(actions, serverPlayers); playerConnection.send(packet);

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_protocol/Packets#Player_Info_Update

[chrome beacon]

It's either included in the set or it's not

That would be your true/false

[hard perch]

I think you don't understand, I want the UPDATE_LISTED action to be present, but I want to put its value to false.

Because, it will make no sense because there are actions that doesn't take boolean

[chrome beacon]

I do understand what you mean

And as I said it not being present means it's value is false

It's all sent as a (fixed size) bitset

[young knoll]

How does that work for the actions that take stuff other than a Boolean

[chrome beacon]

The data for those actions are sent after

[chrome beacon]

you can take a look at this for the format

[young knoll]

Presumably that’s what he wants

But idk what constructors Mojang has

[chrome beacon]

You can see what the constructor is in their code

It takes an enumset of the actions you want

and since they do not want the update listed action all they need to do is not put it in the set

[young knoll]

They do want the action

They want to set the value to false to remove the player from the list

[hard perch]

Yes, that's it

[chrome beacon]

ah I see now 🤦‍♂️

That's my bad

ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket#updateListed

That's the method you're looking for assuming you only want it for one player that's already known to the client*

[young knoll]

Interesting

Does Mojang just do it one action at a time

[chrome beacon]

No

You can send actions for multiple players at once in a packet

[young knoll]

Yeah but do they have any methods for that

Or would you have to construct the bytebuf manually

[chrome beacon]

There's a consturctor that takes a list of entries

which essentially is the player data

[young knoll]

I see

[hard perch]

Yes, I would like to have this command, but it doesn't exist

[chrome beacon]

What version are you on

[iron night]

What library should i use for UIs?
requirements: supports dispenser UIs

[chrome beacon]

also it's a static method

[chrome beacon]

can always make your own to suite your needs

Personally I'm not aware of any that do 🤷‍♂️

[somber scarab]

how do I use the registery to get a list of all potion effects?

[young knoll]

Registry.EFFECT.stream().toList() is an option

[somber scarab]

I found it i think

[somber scarab]

lmao 2 days ago I asked the same question and you answered me as well

[young knoll]

There’s several other methods you could use but it won’t make a huge difference

[hard perch]

I'm on the 1.20.1 version but I don't see this method in the last version of Minecraft : https://mappings.dev/1.21.5/net/minecraft/network/protocol/game/ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.html

[chrome beacon]

oh no don't tell me Paper added that to nms 💀

[young knoll]

Okay I won’t tell you

:)

[chrome beacon]

:sadge:

[young knoll]

(Just go steal their implementation)

[chrome beacon]

https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/blob/main/paper-server/patches/sources/net/minecraft/network/protocol/game/ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.java.patch

or if you're depending on the Paper API you can just use the API directly

Assuming it's there in 1.20.1, no idea how old that method is

[tawny remnant]

Do last saved chunks load before plugins initialize? For example: i stop the server, then restart it. I have a ChunkLoadEvent in my plugin, but it doesnt seem to do anything, since the chunks I left in were loaded, they dont register in my ChunkLoadEvent? I dont really understand...

[chrome beacon]

Depends on your plugin.yml and if the chunk is a spawn chunk

[tawny remnant]

I need a compromise, mix of both. My goal is to reinitialize custom behaviour that i modify using NMS. It works when i spawn the mobs, but i dont have a method of making the behaviour persistent.

Do you have any suggestions?

[chrome beacon]

add this to your plugin.yml

load: STARTUP

Will make it load before the worlds

[tawny remnant]

will that affect the ChunkLoadEvent? My apologies, your answers dont seem to be quite clear enough for my monkey brain.

also, need I transfer the registering of the Listener to the onLoad() function? or is in onEnabled() fine?

just for clarity

[thorn isle]

the event fires as it would normally

the only difference is that now your plugin will be enabled by the time it loads

[tawny remnant]

so registering the Listener in onLoad() wont affect my goals then

[thorn isle]

plugins by default load at POST_WORLD, i.e after worlds, and hence the ChunkLoadEvent is fired before your plugin is enabled

changing it to STARTUP means the world will load after, and the events fired will be heard by your listener

[tawny remnant]

ah, i see, thanks!

[thorn isle]

alternatively (and this is my preferred approach, because it makes the plugin work with reloads) you can get all worlds and iterate over all the loaded chunks in onEnable, and do whatever you would do in the chunk load listener there

[pure dagger]

Inventory#contains(ItemStack item)
Inventory#contains(ItemStack item, int amount)
both of these check for entire ItemStacks matching (including amount - equals())

Inventory#containsAtLeast(ItemStack, int amount)
checks for actual amounts (isSimilar())
is that true? making sure

[thorn isle]

    @Override
    public boolean containsAtLeast(ItemStack item, int amount) {
        if (item == null) {
            return false;
        }
        if (amount <= 0) {
            return true;
        }
        for (ItemStack i : this.getStorageContents()) {
            if (item.isSimilar(i) && (amount -= i.getAmount()) <= 0) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

looks like it

[pure dagger]

yeah i got confused by that, and by the (amount -= i.getAmount()) <= 0)

unreabale

[thorn isle]

it looks for similar stacks, subtracts their stack sizes from amount and returns true iff amount reaches zero

i.e. returns true if and only if all the similar stacks combined amount to amount or more

[pure dagger]

yup so if i wanna check if player actually has an item, i do containsAtLeast(item, 1)

[thorn isle]

if you want exact similarity, yes; for searching for custom items you probably want to just check the pdc or something, isSimilar can be expensive depending on how heavyweight the compared items are

[pure dagger]

uhm so loop through this myself

?

oh yeah..

actually

someone could rename the item

that wouldnt work

[thorn isle]

what are you doing

[pure dagger]

need to check if player has an item with the pdc key

but i forgot isSimilar wont work

[alpine cairn]

Can anyone help me? I have a github access token and I used it to link Intellij with my github account but I can't access the repository that I want to access. I was able to do it before but the token expired and now I can't remember how to get it to work

[young knoll]

Loop all items and check the pdc

[true cosmos]

do you have a command line you can use git from?

[alpine cairn]

I'm not sure I know what you are asking

[true cosmos]

on linux i do ```bash
gh auth

[alpine cairn]

I have Windows

[true cosmos]

from a terminal to authorize the global account

this is the tool i use https://cli.github.com

[alpine cairn]

Is that necessary?

[true cosmos]

you can authorize the global github account this way and intellij should pick it up

no it shouldn't be necessary

[alpine cairn]

I already have my github account added in Intellij

[true cosmos]

its not an account thing its a token your github account gives out to allow for it to do stuff

ill find the page hold on

[alpine cairn]

Yeah but I added the account by token

That's not the same thing?

[true cosmos]

idk using gh is super simple the alternatives seem confusing to me

its worth a shot

[alpine cairn]

gh?

[true cosmos]

their cli

[alpine cairn]

hmm

[true cosmos]

its not complicated it in a terminal you just type gh auth and it opens up a page for you to authorize it

[alpine cairn]

I suppose I can try that

[true cosmos]

sorry for not a great solution.

[alpine cairn]

No, thanks for helping

I should know how to do this it has just been a while

[true cosmos]

i use git solely from the terminal and i think a lot of others do too, its a good skill

not saying you should, should work with intellij after

i quite like intellij

[alpine cairn]

Is this a Linux superiority thing? Lol

[true cosmos]

idk github was designed by the guy who made linux so it checks out

[alpine cairn]

I didn't know that

[thorn isle]

settings > version control > github > add github account (plus looking button) > log in with token

[chrome beacon]

Git != Github

[true cosmos]

o

my b

thought they were one in the same

[wet breach]

github is a front end UI to display the data of git which is backend

[hard perch]

Nope, but fun-fact, the creator of github co-founded a brand new Web Browser written from Scratch : LadyBird and he gaves $1M for the development of this web brower

[true cosmos]

interesting whats the incentive

[hard perch]

So these two people are both making huge things

[hard perch]

It's to have an independent web browser that doesn't depend on Google

[alpine cairn]

I did that

[true cosmos]

doesn't seem as popular as i anticipated

[nova notch]

isn't that just called Firefox

[chrome beacon]

Firefox is pretty dependent on Google

[nova notch]

For the search engine yeah

But it isn't chromium based

[chrome beacon]

Mozilla gets a ton of money

From Google

[hard perch]

Yes, they get money to put google as their default search engine

[nova notch]

Well yeah what else are you gonna use, bing?

You can just change it tho

[chrome beacon]

ddg

[hard perch]

I personally use Ecosia, a weird search engine based on Bing, a Microsoft shit. But I never thought to change my search engine, so I didn't change it lmao

[paper viper]

Is that the tree one?

[hard perch]

yes

[paper viper]

I just see Eco

And that reminds me of the ads lol

[hard perch]

It's fun that's because of google, I stop using Google for Ecosia. A long time ago, I was on the google play store and the google play store suggest me multiple web browser such as ecosia. It's fun to see that Google is ready to pay billions of dollars to web browser to make their search engine the default, and at the same time, featuring other search engines.

[slender elbow]

aren't they forced to pay the competition?

[alpine cairn]

I still cannot figure out how to get this repository to work, it just keeps saying that it’s unauthorized

Do I need to authenticate the token some other way? Or do something with my local repository?

[drowsy helm]

What repository?

Git repo, maven repo?

If it’s git just use an ssh token, they’re way easier to work with

[true cosmos]

lol back to my suggestion

[alpine cairn]

It's a Maven repo but I'm using Gradle Kotlin to access it

[alpine cairn]

How do I do that

[true cosmos]

in github settings on the web

[alpine cairn]

Thanks

[hard perch]

I finally find how to do it :

    Collection<ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Entry> entries = new ArrayList<ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Entry>();
    for(ServerPlayer player : players) {
        ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Entry entry = new ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Entry(player.getUUID(), player.getGameProfile(), false, player.latency,
                player.gameMode.getGameModeForPlayer(), player.getDisplayName(), (RemoteChatSession.Data) Optionull.map(player.getChatSession(), RemoteChatSession::asData));
        entries.add(entry);
    }

    EnumSet<ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Action> enumSet = EnumSet.of(ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket.Action.UPDATE_LISTED);
    ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket packet = new ClientboundPlayerInfoUpdatePacket(enumSet, new ArrayList<ServerPlayer>());
    try {
        Field field = packet.getClass().getDeclaredField("b"); // "b" is the obfuscated variable for "entries"
        field.setAccessible(true);
        field.set(packet, entries);
        field.setAccessible(false);
    } catch (NoSuchFieldException | SecurityException | IllegalArgumentException | IllegalAccessException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return packet;
}```

Thanks you for the help

[dreamy arrow]

so uhmm does anyone know if I have to shade ProtocolLib dev build into my project or is there a way to put the ProtocolLib dev build jar separately and then somehow add it as a dependency into the project

[paper viper]

You don't shade plib, you have to add it itself

And also you include it using the maven/gradle declaration they have shown on the github

[tribal wraith]

Is there a way to increase the amount of items you can see in a bundle? It only shows up to ~12

I don't see it in BundleMeta anywhere

[young knoll]

Probably client side then

[tribal wraith]

Oh yea I see the BundleItem class shows

can I edit that?

If I extend it or something?

[young knoll]

Probably

But again it’s going to be client side

[tribal wraith]

Does that mean it doesn't actually apply, just looks like it does?

[young void]

guys do you need some kind of ancient skill to be able to contribute to a project?

i really like to contribute to some projects but i dont know what it takes

just the basic stuff. git branching and stuff is like enough to fit in a team?

like i can write personal plugins seamlessly but i really want to take it up another level

[ivory sleet]

I mean yeah, some people will just like if you are willing to engage and learn on the way by just showing initial interest, like start with some small contribution and then take on more as u learn more about the project, but also as u learn more tools etc

no need to have ancient skill ^^

[young knoll]

Just vibe code it all!

[ivory sleet]

but if you are serious about that, then learning about deeper Gradle/Maven, CI/CD, Git (maybe Docker?) etc will be useful

[ivory sleet]

[buoyant viper]

Yes, communication skills

[maiden thicket]

anyone know how people render the player head image texture in GUIs?

[sly topaz]

resource packs?

would've better if you can show a screenshot of it or something

[dapper robin]

can anyone help me make my server? its 1.8.9

[maiden thicket]

sorry haha, like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1002574237942431775/1002574240190570648/unknown.png?ex=682be045&is=682a8ec5&hm=6e67b24ad2f74b4f7d1a83582ba79a55f70e5a2f83b5f2b2430c9ec268391336&

and yeah with resourec packs

[paper viper]

font character with huge image

[grand flint]

the player head is a player head with a custom scale on the custom model data, playe and beta are items, as well as all the buttons

then the armor is just done server sided, get the players armor and put it into the UI

the rest of the menu is a font character like pulse said on the title

which is done with oraxen / itemsadder or the one and only great fucking nexo

[drowsy helm]

OR uses font for buttons

Not items

[sly topaz]

can you even use font for buttons in GUIs

well, I guess you can just name an item something with that font

[maiden thicket]

what is so great about nexo i hear a lot abt it haha

[maiden thicket]

but how were they able to render the player's skin?

[grand flint]

what?? how can u click the button LMAO

[grand flint]

its dogshit

its oraxen

the dev stole the code and uploaded to nexo but don't discuss

[grand flint]

player_head

has that ability

[drowsy helm]

Invisible item

[grand flint]

bro

where would u put the font explain

in the same menu title?

[drowsy helm]

In the title and offset it

[grand flint]

why

[maiden thicket]

😭😭

[grand flint]

or u can simply make it a button and reuse it most the time

[drowsy helm]

It’s more flexible

[grand flint]

how

[drowsy helm]

And less glitchy

You cant shift click it into player invetory

[grand flint]

how is button lea glitchy

u get an animation

[maiden thicket]

any wiki page i can look at to get a hint how to

[grand flint]

when u click the button

u dont get that when its a title

[grand flint]

also idk how but origin realms doesnt have this

[drowsy helm]

Dude I dont make the rules

Thats how they do it

[grand flint]

no buy one from mcmodels

[grand flint]

nuh uh

[maiden thicket]

huhhh 😭

[drowsy helm]

You can reverse engineer the rp and look

[grand flint]

most of the ones i seen uses the items

[grand flint]

origin realms?

[drowsy helm]

Yes

[grand flint]

ye they use items??

xheck the paper

it has custom model data for all the items

not that i would have the rp and know

[drowsy helm]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/custom-inventory-uis-updated.635897/

[grand flint]

ion give a shit about that

origin realms puts it on the item

and i prefer it bc of the animation

[drowsy helm]

False

[grand flint]

what false

i cant reproduce the animation when its in the title

also u need to offset it differently for every menu

its not reliable for big packs

with item i just define position

with title i need to setup offset for every single gui differently

[drowsy helm]

Yep

[grand flint]

also have u used premiumvanish

its nice asf

[sly topaz]

I do wonder what is the benefit of doing it the convoluted way

I've seen people do it before, but I don't understand why you wouldn't just use the item either

[drowsy helm]

Like I said, when you shift click it doesnt glitch and items dont work well for multi slot buttons

Can also animate buttons without buggyness

[sly topaz]

I'll trust you on that, all of the resource pack stuff is just a blur to me, I never actually sat down to actually learn whatever magic people do with them

they weren't as popular pre custom fonts era

[grand flint]

the only thing id use it for is animations

[grand flint]

origin realms fixes this somehow

neither does it really matter to me

its just a client side limitatjons not really a problem in my opinion

[tulip thicket]

anyone? 🥲

[short pilot]

Hello good sirs! If I wanted to get the job site block and location of a villager, how would I do that?

I assume I can just grab the villager profession for the job site block, but what about the location?

Could not find a field for that on the villager

[torn shuttle]

good morning gamers, can anyone remind me what the max file size is for a plugin to be uploaded on spigot

[dreamy arrow]

i think u dont quite understand wat im trying to say

apologies

i said im using dev builds

u have to manually download the jar for that

[sly topaz]

you have to put the jar in your server though, it isn't shade-able

[dreamy arrow]

ye but then how do u add the dev build jar

it isnt listed as a repo in maven

[sly topaz]

if it is a version that isn't in their maven repo, then you can just add it from your local repository

what version did you build?

[paper viper]

Are you using maven or gradle? In gradle you can just use files to specify a jar dependency

[dreamy arrow]

im using maven

[paper viper]

or you could install it into your local gradle, but personally i just do the former

[sly topaz]

file dependencies 🤮

[paper viper]

for something like a development build that's constantly changing, imo its easier to just do that then run a command everytime because you have to drag a new file in

but for things that don't really change

i agree

[dreamy arrow]

#747

[sly topaz]

if version is always changing, then you can use something like gradle's latest.release in your version declaration

but if you've set your maven publication properly, then it should be easier to just run mvn install/gradle publish and then just have it automatically be updated in your dependent plugin

[sly topaz]

are there any API changes in that version?

[dreamy arrow]

well 1.21.5 support

[sly topaz]

yeah but did the API change

because if it didn't, then there's no need to depend on that specific version

you do have to run that version in your server, however if the API is still the same then you can just depend on whatever version is available in their maven repository

[dreamy arrow]

idk. i mean they added alot of new stuff in 1.21.5 there should be some api changes

[sly topaz]

is it anything you're going to use though

[dreamy arrow]

i might or i might not.

[paper viper]

Looking from here https://github.com/dmulloy2/ProtocolLib/commits/master/ I don't see many things

[sly topaz]

yeah, looks like just some fixes

if there was any significant API change, they'd have released a minor version at the very least, given they didn't then there mustn't have been any yet

[dreamy arrow]

welp then if i do need to same thing some other plugin in the future wat am i supposed to do

i need to know this for future purposes even if i dont need to use the dev build

[sly topaz]

if you just have a jar file, then you can do what Pulse suggested

[dreamy arrow]

add it to the buildPath

[paper viper]

You can either install it to local or include it in deps

[dreamy arrow]

it doesn't build tho after that. it just says syntax missing

[paper viper]

Show build script

[dreamy arrow]

ye but can you do that in a online hosting

[wet breach]

yes?

[paper viper]

What do you mean

I thought this was just for development

[sly topaz]

you mean like, in a CI server or something?

[wet breach]

this is what you get for assuming apparently

don't worry I thought it was development too 😛

[sly topaz]

you don't seem to be depending on protocollib at all

[dreamy arrow]

a online minecraft hosting that only gives u access to the file system and minecraft console

[paper viper]

You would just download the protocollib plugin into the folder

[sly topaz]

I am not sure what that has to do with this

[wet breach]

why do you shade gson when spigot server provides it?

[sly topaz]

once you've built your plugin, you'd just take the built jar and pass it to the host

[paper viper]

And then you drag protocollib into the plugins jar too

[dreamy arrow]

it didnt appear apparently while i was writing the syntax

[wet breach]

that isn't what I was asking

[dreamy arrow]

huh

[wet breach]

you are shading the dependency into the jar when it isn't necessary since spigot server provides it

[dreamy arrow]

oh. wat version does it provide

should i put a provided scope

[paper viper]

Yes

[dreamy arrow]

done

[wet breach]

unless you have a specific need of a version of gson it just isn't necessary to shade it in

[paper viper]

In my experience I don't think I got anything breaking with Gson different versions but maybe some things are different from version mismatch

[wet breach]

thats all

[sly topaz]

2.11.0 apparently

[paper viper]

And then also you need to depend on plib

If you want to use it in your code

[dreamy arrow]

ye but the things is. the plugin isn't compiling

[dreamy arrow]

its already put on depend in plugin.yml

and added to the buildpath

[paper viper]

you need to put it in your pom.xml

[sly topaz]

I mean, you don't have protocollib listed in your dependencies block so if you have anything that uses ProtocolLib in your code it isn't gonna work

[dreamy arrow]

ye but wat am i supposed to write

5.4.0 doesnt work

am i supposed to put a system scope

and specify a path

[wet breach]

probably could

[paper viper]

You can either do that or install it to local like what Javier suggested

[wet breach]

however though if its in the local maven repo

you don't need to specify anything

maven defaults to local repo first before searching it in the ether

[sly topaz]

5.3.0 is the latest one

[dreamy arrow]

ye i said dev build man

[sly topaz]

and I told you that the dev build doesn't matter

you need to depend on ProtocolLib's API, not its implementation

[dreamy arrow]

ye but i cant specify it in the pom.xml unless i put system scope with a path

[sly topaz]

what

you don't need to depend on the jar file

[dreamy arrow]

then how is it gonna compile. it doesnt compile

[sly topaz]

you need to depend on the protocollib version provided by dmulloy's maven repo, which is 5.3.0

[paper viper]

  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.comphenix.protocol</groupId>
    <artifactId>ProtocolLib</artifactId>
    <version>5.3.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
  </dependency>

Make sure you have the repo too

  <repository>
    <id>dmulloy2-repo</id>
    <url>https://repo.dmulloy2.net/repository/public/</url>
  </repository>

[dreamy arrow]

thats just gonna use the repo version

[paper viper]

And that's fine

You can use an older version of plib

You are only using the API

The API hasn't had anything breaking in 1.21.5 version

[dreamy arrow]

thats not why im here for man. i need to know this. if i have to do this in the future i will be screwed

[paper viper]

You don't have to be forced to use the developmental build if you are developing 1.21.5

[dreamy arrow]

better to know now than never

[paper viper]

What's your main concern, like possibly it breaks?

Personally, I wouldn't be concerned at that happening. If it works and everything is fine, then it will work

[dreamy arrow]

there are no main concern. i might have to work with something that is not even listed as a public repo anywhere

there is somehow a 5.4.0

[paper viper]

Yes because that is a developmental build

[sly topaz]

yeah but that isn't published on the repository, so you don't have to worry about it

[paper viper]

Mhm

[dreamy arrow]

alr man u dont get wat im saying. i need to learn just for the sake of not knowing how to it

i wont be able to sleep if i dont know how to use that dev build

without shading it

into the plugin

[sly topaz]

there are two ways to use a dependency that isn't listed in a public repository

one is compiling the dependency yourself and deploying it to your local maven repository

if the dependency is using maven, that's as simple as compiling the dependency with mvn install, and then it'll be available as a dependency with the specified group and artifact IDs, as well as version specified in its pom.xml

[paper viper]

I'm sure dmulloy will soon publish the other plib artifacts onto his repository. But there's nothing wrong or you can't do if it doesn't exist on the repository. You won't be screwed

[dreamy arrow]

alr man thanks. THATS ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW

[sly topaz]

if the dependency is using gradle, and if you're lucky they've already setup maven publication for you, so you'd just have to call ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal

and then it'll be available in your local maven repository the same way as before

if they haven't setup maven publication, then you'll have to set it up yourself, for which you can read about it here: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_maven.html

either that, or you can just install the jar file directly into your local maven repository by using

mvn install:install-file \
   -Dfile=<path-to-file> \
   -DgroupId=<group-id> \
   -DartifactId=<artifact-id> \
   -Dversion=<version> \
   -Dpackaging=<packaging> \
   -DgeneratePom=true```

[rotund ravine]

Hmph u wrote that faster than me

[sly topaz]

in this case for example, it'd be something like:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ProtocolLib-747.jar -DgroupId=com.comphenix.protocol -DartifactId=ProtocolLib -Dversion=5.4.0-DEV -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true

[sly topaz]

I had it copied already 😛

[rotund ravine]

Cheater

[buoyant viper]

chat does this look redundant

(ie. could i just do setItemInMainHand(helmetItem) instead of everything else)

[paper viper]

Probably

[sullen marlin]

Yeah probably

[pseudo hazel]

for sure, even if the helmet item is null, youd just set the mainhand item to null, which you are already doing anyways

[buoyant viper]

yeah

i mustve overlooked it when i first wrote it

[pseudo hazel]

just blame your past self, we all have moments

[buoyant viper]

[random compass]

@torn shuttle could you explain a little how to write code in plugins that effects the custom minecraft model?

[mortal vortex]

i am so confused.

ur using Vencord's FakeNitro Plugin for emojis, which would suggest you dont have nitro

but how tf do u still got the animated banner

[buoyant viper]

discord gave out free nitro apparently

[mortal vortex]

ohh

why tf r ur emojis sent using fakenitro

thought it autodisabled

alg

[buoyant viper]

spigot requires boost for custom emojis

[mortal vortex]

OHHH

makey sensey

very smarty

[random compass]

hi there. im using freeminecraftmodels to make a custom model, and im trying to code a minigame around a model. i want the player to die when close to custom model, and i have the following code but it doesnt work

ive also tried to make the model invincible but that doesnt work

[alpine solar]

Why have you defined entity twice?

[random compass]

trying to get the correct syntax

[alpine solar]

the same with modeled

[random compass]

sorry, have taken that out

[alpine solar]

also use ?paste

?paste

Any minecraft server developer?dm me paid also

[random compass]

is anyone able to help me with nms? im trying to make a custom model pathfind to a player, and i have no clue where to start

[warm mica]

What do you need nms for

Entity#target

[smoky anchor]

?services That is the correct place to ask, not here

[undone axle]

If you wish to request or offer development/art/building/administration services, please do so at https://www.spigotmc.org/forums/services-recruitment-v2.54/

[buoyant viper]

$5 this is a paper method

?jd-s

[undone axle]

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

[torn shuttle]

Either use NMS or use a library that does it for you

[buoyant viper]

its neither, close enough.

there is EntityTargetEvent tho which is interesting

[warm mica]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Mob.html#setTarget(org.bukkit.entity.LivingEntity)

[buoyant viper]

oh its Mob

[stuck oar]

i know MHF heads exist but arent updated for new mobs, how can i get warden heads etc?

[smoky anchor]

Create a skin with the head you want
Upload it to an account (or use the fancy schmancy website)
use the texture it gives you as you would MHF head

[stuck oar]

is that efficient?

isnt there a textures thing

[smoky anchor]

what kind of question is that

[stuck oar]

well its just that doesnt seem very efficient

[smoky anchor]

there is no other way then uploading a skin to the MC servers if you want to use custom head

That is literally how MHF heads work too

except Marc created an account for each mob.

[stuck oar]

yeah but theres a minecraft-heads website

[smoky anchor]

that works in the way I said

[stuck oar]

which gives a texture url

[smoky anchor]

Yes, you get the texture url by uploading a skin to an account

the fancy website can do it for you if you just give it a skin

[stuck oar]

alright thanks

[smoky anchor]

I don't remember the website tho

[blazing ocean]

[inner mulch]

Is it smarter to use 1 server and have 5 bedwars instances or have 5 weak Servers 1 bedwars instance each ?

[blazing ocean]

depends

• are your matches very heavy on the server?
• are your servers shit?
• do you wanna have a big hole in your wallet?

usually you do a couple matches per server though

[inner mulch]

I dont really know 😔

[inner mulch]

So 1 strong server?

[blazing ocean]

well, how many matches are you trying to run concurrently?

(that was also one of the questions sorry)

[inner mulch]

I dont know i was wondering because I'd have to Design the Code around thqt

[blazing ocean]

horizontal scaling is something you should look into once you need it with minecraft

[inner mulch]

So 1 machine running 5 Servers is worse than it just running 1 cool one ?

[blazing ocean]

not worse per se

[inner mulch]

Horizontal would be having 5 weak Servers?

Instead of multiple instances per server

[blazing ocean]

vertical scaling would be assigning more resources to a server here

[inner mulch]

Yeah so having 5 weak Servers with just 1 instance is better?

[blazing ocean]

again, it really depends on some things

[inner mulch]

Do you know what hypixel does?

[blazing ocean]

multiple matches per server

but also please never compare yourself with hypixel

[inner mulch]

Yeah but they probably know whats best cuz they are the largedt

[upper hazel]

who was use entity component system architecture even once?

[smoky anchor]

✋

[blazing ocean]

🤚

[upper hazel]

1. does the system interact with entity or only with components ?
2. Is it a good idea to combine ecs with OOP ?
3. are there other kinds of classes in the architecture besides those listed in ecs ? For example I am using a library with ecs in Java where the entity has no id but I need to store and hash the entity objects somehow.

Is it even worth it to strictly adhere to this architecture in general or just take the basic idea

(i create mini game)

[smoky anchor]

Which library are you using ?
I've had experience with two
I'm no expert but I'll still try

1. with components
2. I wouldn't really do that
3. well you can always give them the ID yourself, I personally just give entities a UUID object

[upper hazel]

https://github.com/dominion-dev/dominion-ecs-java

this lib what i use

In this case I either need to do a wrapper, or consider everything that is not a component or entity as default system classes to store the entity with their id if needed

[smoky anchor]

Don't :D
I've tried using dominion for so long and it has one fatal flaw https://github.com/dominion-dev/dominion-ecs-java/issues/195
I've found a way to reproduce this on my machine with 5 components. Simply adding them in a different order crashes the thing.
These entities do have an ID, you just have to cast to IntEntity to get it.
Anyways, I found Ashley better

[upper hazel]

oh nice

That's what I missed when I read about archetypes and memory.

[grand flint]

it's not possible for hypixel to use vertical scaling at their level

its not possible for a new server to use horizontal scaling with no players

just buy a machine and upgrade as u need to

u learn from experience

[pure dagger]

is setting itemstack's amount to negative number safe?

[blazing ocean]

....why though

[pure dagger]

for making code shorter

not needing to do Math.max(0, number)

[young knoll]

Setting it to 0 will remove the stack

Idk if negative behaves the same

[lilac lynx]

making a youtuber only server but need a plugin, when you die you get banned and you drop a head and if u place the head a gui pops up and if u click on any dead player u can revive them, if you are willing to help for free please dm me

[pure dagger]

yeah thats the goal

[pure dagger]

i think you should go to #help-server

[pure dagger]

ill just do math.max

[lilac lynx]

okay thanks

[upper hazel]

if a component is a data object without logic, then any dependency of one component on another is already a behavior, and therefore not a component, right? (ecs)

Should I treat such an architecture strictly?

[pure dagger]

uhm what u talking about 😨

[upper hazel]

entity component system architecture

[pure dagger]

uhm okay good luck

[upper hazel]

@smoky anchor

[smoky anchor]

Sorry, I have no idea

[hard socket]

https://paste.md-5.net/efakayuyug.java how can I stop text displays from getting stuck when a player teleports

[smoky anchor]

Either use a different method of teleporting player, one that does not dismount passengers (I don't believe one exists in the API)
Remount the display entity after a player teleports.

[hard socket]

so use a teleport listener

[smoky anchor]

mhmm

[tame wolf]

Hello! I've noticed that a bossbar my plugin adds disappears once the player relogs, has anyone else encountered this issue and knows how to fix it? 🤞

[young void]

you should apply it constantly

[tame wolf]

It needs to be re-applied each time they log?

[young void]

but its usually the other way around. the bossbar dosent disappear🤣

[young void]

probably

[tame wolf]

I'll try it! Thanks

[young void]

you wrote a custom bossbar plugin too? no way. i feel like this is one of those things that needs a one for all solution without the need to write a whole plugin for each case

[tame wolf]

Nope, not an entire plugin, just a thing for my plugin to show a per-player value

(Its basically just energy that each player has in my plugin)

[blazing ocean]

what would "custom bossbar plugin" mean

like, /bossbar exists

[tame wolf]

I think they mean based on certain values

[blazing ocean]

this still exists

[grand flint]

TAB does bossbars

[pliant topaz]

id guess like dynamic bossbars or such which are not that nice to do with the cmd altough its not complicated

[grand flint]

tab does that too

[tame wolf]

🤷 what does it matters anyway, let people make whatever they want!

[pliant topaz]

whats tab?

[blazing ocean]

don't really see a point there ngl

[pliant topaz]

its good for learning i suppose

[grand flint]

TAB plugin

just register a placeholder if u need and animate it with tab 😎

[pliant topaz]

never heard of it, sounds like a one for all solution to me

[grand flint]

LMAO

u never heard of TAB?

[pliant topaz]

no, i write basically everything myself

[grand flint]

thats so weird i hate people with this mindset

i was like that like i wont be rude

but its not worth it and u learn it too late

[pliant topaz]

if i need something i either do it myself or if im lazy i download a plugin

[grand flint]

these plugins are made for production

not for a 2 player smp

its stupid if u make everything by ur self just to make a small minigame server or an smp

[blazing ocean]

there isn't much you can get wrong with bossbars

[grand flint]

u should always make ur main plugin by ur self ofc

[blazing ocean]

plus you learn how the thing you want works

[pliant topaz]

its just my logic is my logic, i dont want to add a plugin with 300+ featured if I really just need like 2

thar just wouldnt make any sense

[grand flint]

yeah thats CMI not TAB

[blazing ocean]

there's places where it's really unnecessary but for tiny stuff like this

[grand flint]

CMI litearlly adds worldedit for no reason

TAB is just for your HUD, actionbar, player title, TAB, scoreboard, bossbar

CMI adds all that, plus essentialsx, it adds worldguard, lobby plugins, worldedit

its stupid asf i would never use a plugin like that

[pliant topaz]

point is i dont know it cause i never needed it personally

[blazing ocean]

if I need to use boss bars in my plugin, I won't add a dependency on TAB?

that's just unnecessary

[pliant topaz]

excactly my point

yes

[grand flint]

where did i ever say that

?

[blazing ocean]

in general I hate plugin dependencies

[grand flint]

i said if u got a value u want to show

u can just make it a placeholder

and show it anywhere using TAB

like actionbar, bossbar, scoreboard

instead of coding it into the bossbar

then being unable to use it anywhere else

without coding it

[blazing ocean]

five seconds ago

[grand flint]

ok point to it

[pliant topaz]

also, i looooove coding so its fun to do it myself any maybe challange myself once a while with new stuff i aint familiar with :)

[grand flint]

well im just saying its not worth it

if ur actually tryna host a server

and get players on it

the only way thast ever reliable is if u already got the player base and the profit for it

[pliant topaz]

depends on your usecase

[grand flint]

otherwise its just a fun side project

[pliant topaz]

Point is I only need a few of all these features such all in one solutions offer so It wouldnt make sense for me to get the plugin itself

[grand flint]

im just saying its a free plugin that has multi uses for all ur HUD

imo its super useful

its always updated, bug free to my testing

[pliant topaz]

But for stuff like permissions I use luckperms because why should I code it myself if its alr everything I need without unneccassary stuff i dont need?

[grand flint]

well like no major bugs and basically none minor ones

[grand flint]

ye thast what im saying

for me bossbar would be the same thing

i can just register a placeholder i can use anywhere

so why should i code the bossbar

[blazing ocean]

there's a lot of api for it

[pliant topaz]

jep

Here's my setPlayerDataTag method using nbtapi

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public static void setPlayerDataTag(OfflinePlayer player, String tag, Object value) {
        NBTFile nbt = loadPlayerDataFile(player);
        if (nbt == null) return;

        if (value instanceof String str) {
            nbt.setString(tag, str);
        } else if (value instanceof Integer i) {
            nbt.setInteger(tag, i);
        } else if (value instanceof Double d) {
            nbt.setDouble(tag, d);
        } else if (value instanceof Long l) {
            nbt.setLong(tag, l);
        } else if (value instanceof List<?> list && !list.isEmpty()) {
            if (list.get(0) instanceof Double) {
                List<Double> doubleList = (List<Double>) list;
                NBTList<Double> nbtList = nbt.getDoubleList(tag);
                nbtList.clear();
                nbtList.addAll(doubleList);
            }
        } else if (value instanceof NBTCompoundList clist && (tag.equals("Inventory") || tag.equals("EnderItems"))) {
            NBTCompoundList nbtList = nbt.getCompoundList(tag);
            nbtList.clear();
            nbtList.addAll(clist);
        }

        try {
            nbt.save();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            plugin.getLogger().severe("Failed to save player data for player: " + player.getName());
            plugin.getLogger().warning("Error message: " + e.getMessage());
            plugin.getLogger().warning("Stacktrace:");
            for (StackTraceElement element : e.getStackTrace()) {
                plugin.getLogger().warning(element.toString());
            }
        }
    }

Here's the method to set the ender chest items for the offline player:

public static void setPlayerEnderChestItems(OfflinePlayer target, ItemStack[] items) {
        NBTFile nbt = loadPlayerDataFile(target);
        if (nbt == null) return;

        NBTCompoundList newEnderItems = new NBTContainer().getCompoundList("dummy");

        for (int i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
            ItemStack item = items[i];
            if (item != null && !item.getType().isAir()) {
                NBTCompound nbtItem = NBTItem.convertItemtoNBT(item);
                nbtItem.setByte("Slot", (byte) i);
                newEnderItems.addCompound(nbtItem);
            }
        }

        setPlayerDataTag(target, "EnderItems", newEnderItems);
    }```

And here's me calling that method and passing the items:

@EventHandler
        public void onInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent event) {
            Inventory inv = event.getInventory();
            if (!plugin.enderChestViewMap.containsKey(inv)) return;

            OfflinePlayer target = plugin.enderChestViewMap.get(inv);

            if (target.isOnline()) {
                Player onlineTarget = target.getPlayer();
                if (onlineTarget != null) {
                    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(plugin, () -> onlineTarget.getEnderChest().setContents(inv.getContents()), 1L);
                }
            } else {
                // Save changes immediately for offline players
                PlayerData.setPlayerEnderChestItems(target, inv.getContents());
            }
        }

        @EventHandler
        public void onInventoryDrag(InventoryDragEvent event) {
            Inventory inv = event.getInventory();
            if (!plugin.enderChestViewMap.containsKey(inv)) return;

            OfflinePlayer target = plugin.enderChestViewMap.get(inv);

            if (target.isOnline()) {
                Player onlineTarget = target.getPlayer();
                if (onlineTarget != null) {
                    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(plugin, () -> onlineTarget.getEnderChest().setContents(inv.getContents()), 1L);
                }
            } else {
                // Save changes immediately for offline players
                PlayerData.setPlayerEnderChestItems(target, inv.getContents());
            }
        }```

Couldn't figure out why it wasn't working, went to grok. Pretty sure he messed it up even more

Now I don't have any idea what's going on

I want to modify the offline player's enderchest using /viewechest <offlineTarget>

The gui gets created successfully, but when I move things around. It does not get registered onto the real ender chest, and when I re-create the gui it goes back to the way it was

[echo basalt]

might be due to the compound list being called "dummy"

[near furnace]

im gonna cry 😢

[echo basalt]

just a thought

[near furnace]

i have no idea whats going on man, i got a mild fever and this grok ai is spinning me in circles

[blazing ocean]

using grok is crazy

[near furnace]

yea chatgpt messed it up even more

my only hope is you guys

so:

• GUI gets created, and the offlineTarget's ender chest items are added using getPlayerEnderChestItems

[blazing ocean]

have you considered not using AI and instead using your brain

really helps sometimes

[near furnace]

• onInventoryClick(), it sets the contents using the method setPlayerEnderChestItems

setPlayerEnderChestItems takes the target's inventory and itemStack. Creates a NBTFile or whatever and passes it through setPlayerDataTag(target. "EnderItems", newEnderItems);

and idk what happens afterwards

[young void]

that helps too🤣

[near furnace]

man my brain is not braining

helppp

[young void]

firstly what i would do is making a class for each event. that way i would be more focused

im not a clean coder at all but im pretty sure thats the SOLID principle

[near furnace]

make a seperate class for the Events? alright

[young void]

the functionality would not change but it would be easier for you to read

and thats it usually if you truly understand whats going on in your code you would not encounter problems

well, mostly

[near furnace]

you got any docs for the nbtapi?

maybe that can help

[young void]

no

[near furnace]

if anyone wanna help, dm me :)

[echo basalt]

sounds like you're asking for a fun time

been around for a bit now

[pure dagger]

oh so not my fault

?

[chrome beacon]

no

That's just a vanilla bug

[slender elbow]

well, it might be your fault, but it isn't your code that is causing it

butterfly effect n all

:Clueless:

[pure dagger]

how do i know

[nova notch]

so that's why my vanilla server has this happen so often, good to know

[young void]

cursor ai or any other "coder" ai seemingly have no idea what SOLID principle is

they all try to fit everything in one class and that pisses me off. that goddamn system prompt cant have this simple prompt in it?

[thorn isle]

it's the training data

[young void]

doubt
or maybe idk

[thorn isle]

specifically, it's trained on individual classes

converting a multiple class structure into something sensible isn't trivial, but a single class is generally a single file that can be fed in serially

• the training set includes 100,000 cases of stackoverflow and other interactive mediums where someone asks for a solution and is given a code snippet or a single class in response

[young void]

thats also something

[paper viper]

I use copilot with Claude

Never tried any other ones

So far it’s alright in terms of design

[young void]

but i think it can be done so that it also keeps these into account. like another ai agent refining the code or something

[young void]

i use cursor its pretty good

[thorn isle]

personally i think the training and deployment of ai in programming spaces is being done backwards

e.g. first define the contract and only then the implementation; and only keep the contract in the context set later on

currently the approach is "make it bigger" which is why e.g. gpt4.1 has like 1 million or something context length, so you can fit the entire codebase along with all of the boilerplate and impl details in it

[slender elbow]

i prefer using my brain

im trying to make a custom model pathfind to a player

[drowsy helm]

You need to override the nms Pig

not bukkit

[random compass]

should i be using gradle or can i keep doing this with maven

[drowsy helm]

Either should work

[random compass]

do i need to add an extra dependency for nms?

[drowsy helm]

just use spigot instead of spigot-api

[random compass]

im using paper

[drowsy helm]

this is the spigot discord

they have resource online on how to setup nms

Yeah mb

Spigot discord is usually more helpful than paper discord tho

[smoky anchor]

Easy, start using spigot ;)

[random compass]

I might have to for this project

It’s so annoying tho, I’ve made it all except for making the entity pathfind to the player and that part is making me crash out

[smoky anchor]

pathfinding usually requires you to do nms

[drowsy token]

Is there any NMS dependency without reflection that can use directly? It is really hard to build and keep update a nms lib manually.

And should I write code again for "minor versions" like 1.20.4-R1 and 1.20.4-R2.And how can I choose "minor versions" in buildtools provide by spigot?

[pseudo hazel]

sounds like an old version

if you can help it you should not write code for old versions

[drowsy token]

I am trying to write minigame plugins for the old version

also I hope that my plugin can support as many versions as possible

[smoky anchor]

But like why
This is basically: few latest versions and 1.8 (for some reason still)

[pseudo hazel]

you shouldnt be bothered to write for minor version on older versions especially

[pliant topaz]

There is a MobGoal api for paper afaik, you could try looking into there if you're alr using it

but for custom models i dont think thats actually going to work

[young knoll]

Spigot only uses R1 afaik

[drowsy token]

I see,thank you

[somber scarab]

is there a way to alter the player's bow draw speed?

[ancient plank]

paper actually has an api for pathfinder goals tho

even though i have runned the buildtools locally

its a maven pom.xml file

[blazing ocean]

it's 1.21.5-R0.1-SNAPSHOT

[fierce cave]

oh ok

[fierce cave]

thx fixed it, where can i know all these versions from?

[blazing ocean]

it's always just -R0.1-SNAPSHOT

ohh like with any version at last you have to add that

yeah

okay thx

Is it possible to make item display entities 'glide'? I'm trying to make them go from location A to location B over the course of a couple of seconds.

you can interpolate the transformation

[grim hound]

is shadowJar not compatible with java21?

[blazing ocean]

update to gradleup shadow

[grim hound]

is the last word supposed to refer to me or the plugin

[blazing ocean]

https://gradleup.com/shadow

[grim hound]

makes sense

was using this dud so far

why are there different ones?

[blazing ocean]

because john shadow has abandoned it

goooler than forked it and continued working on it, updated to java 21

then it got moved to gradleup

[grim hound]

ah nice

I think I also saw a third shadowJar gradle plugin except for these two

[blazing ocean]

I just mentioned three ones though?

guessing you saw goooler's then

[grim hound]

uh

I'm guessing

the newest version has some changes

[blazing ocean]

set a duplicate strategy

[grim hound]

how, exactly, is this possible?

[slender elbow]

zip format :)

[grim hound]

they do not differ in name

[blazing ocean]

correct

[grim hound]

so it doesn't care?

[blazing ocean]

the zip format is very fucked

[slender elbow]

zip format :despair:

[grim hound]

but its a jar

[slender elbow]

jar is zip

[grim hound]

I guess uh

[slender elbow]

with a different name

[grim hound]

its same

[blazing ocean]

jars are just rebranded zips

[slender elbow]

by specification, a jar file is just a zip file

[grim hound]

never knew that

[grim hound]

wait, so I can have my own project files override files of any library with this?

[blazing ocean]

yup

[grim hound]

:3

[blazing ocean]

do you think it would be useful if you shared your buildscript or logs or something

[grim hound]

I was just laughing at the build script giving the :3

it started working again, I am confused

[blazing ocean]

it's IJs kts indexing not working properly for buildscripts sometimes

[grim hound]

opened a different project and came back, and shadowjar no longer throws

[grim hound]

I'm assuming it was the beta shadowJar was responsible or gradle 8.14

since they don't seem particularly stable
