#

oh wait i defined an image

sly topaz
#

let me verify, but I believe you should have the docker executor if you want to define image

molten hearth
#

so if i remove the image it should be fine

sly topaz
#

technically, yeah

molten hearth
#

okay thank u

okay i changed the config to ```yml

sudo journalctl -u gitlab-runner

molten hearth
#

yea i was checking

#

well

#

not epic

#

wait

#

i truncated the log gg

#

not sure if there's usually logs after Initializing executor providers

sly topaz
#

I just skimmed through it but there doesn't seem to be anything weird on these logs

#

have you tried just re-registering the runner

molten hearth
#

oh maybe its cause i ran it with root

#

yeah that was NOT it

#

Does spigot Mess with the Jars that are uploaded? Compress, Tweak, or Modify at all? If not, Who should i email or talk to about a concern?

sly topaz
undone axleBOT
remote swallow
#

Spigot only modifies premium jars for resource placeholders

nimble hill
#

as an example

sly topaz
#

are you sure you're comparing the right version of these jars

nimble hill
#

the resulting code SHOULD do the same thing.

#

but if you are doing reflection, or whatever its problematic

nimble hill
#

we are doing a sanity check the next release just because this was off enough that out sentury analytics made us question our sanity

sly topaz
#

welp, email tmp-support and see if they tell you anything

nimble hill
#

but if this is intentional like compression or whatever its technically in violation of the tos lol

sly topaz
#

if they do, please share results as I am also curious as to whether spigot does anything to jars

sly topaz
nimble hill
#

ill shoot them an email and let you know whats up, and yea

#

more an err

#

as its nolonger the jar we uploaded

#

if that makes sense. and this is all IF any compression or modification is done

remote swallow
nimble hill
#

im not pointing fingers, and we are doing a sanity check, and im still reaching out

remote swallow
#

better to double check tho

nimble hill
# nimble hill

also ignore the flavorful language here haha, one of the people who bought it was doing something and flipped out. and thats what brought it to our attention

sly topaz
#

it's alright, kind of understandable reaction lol

nimble hill
#

yea

#

lol

sly topaz
#

though, tbf, what is said there doesn't really prohibit Spigot from modifying the jars, be it through compression or anything, it just waives legal liability

#

not that I think it's alright even if it was compression, if I were to do code-signing that'd fuck up my jars and I'd be in a pickle but welp

thorn isle
#

are you sure you decompiled those two jars the same way

#

because method parameter names do not by default get included in compiled bytecode

nimble hill
#

yes

thorn isle
#

which is why decompilers just generate names for them programmatically, e.g. paramInt2

sly topaz
#

I assume they compiled the jar with -parameters to keep them

thorn isle
#

or they're decompiling them through an ide/using a bytecode inspector and the ide infers them from the project sources

slim crown
#

the only diff is that one is downloaded from spigotmc and one is the one before the upload

thorn isle
#

that rules out most of the decompiler related causes

#

i haven't heard of spigot doing any processing on the uploaded jars but presumably that is what is happening; best hear from someone who actually works there

young knoll
#

Maybe @vagrant stratus knows?

#

I only know of the placeholders

thorn isle
#

definitely seems a bit iffy if they waive liability on the downloads and also fiddle with the downloads in unspecified and undocumented ways

slim crown
#

my current guess is that the placeholder modifier drops the parameters and runs even if you are not using any

thorn isle
#

if it's a premium resource, i could maybe see that string substitution thing causing the parameter names to be lost

sly topaz
#

I also don't know of any compression that would remove param names from bytecode, so it's definitely very iffy yeah

#

well there's r8 but that's android stuff

nimble hill
#

One of the issues i see with Jdgui is its been deprecated for ages Procyon is what im trying to get @slim crown to use, and or just another MODERN decompiler as another sanity check. because we could all be stupid and the decompiler could just be crap haha

thorn isle
#

you'd have to like modify the constant pool which means shifting around most of the bytecode which means offsets are fucked which means you might be easier off doing asm on it instead, which i could definitely see nuking parameter names

nimble hill
#

like, i dont think Spigot is going around modifying jars as thats far more effort for no reason, nor would it make sense. so im almost certain its either on OUR end, or the decompiler.

sly topaz
vagrant stratus
#

I use a variety. Just depends on if luyten works or not kekw

nimble hill
#

or that yea, but just not an almost 18 year old decompiler haha

thorn isle
#

i mean from what i understand he's uploading and downloading the jar and it changes along the way, specifically losing the encoded method parameter names

#

so it shouldn't be an issue of the decompiler

sly topaz
#

it'd be more understandable if it was just file metadata but param names do sound weird

vagrant stratus
#

Out of these the java ones are:

jd-gui, luyten, bytecode-viewer, and recaf

image.png
sly topaz
#

doesn't recaf support most decompilers

#

why use different frontends for it

vagrant stratus
#

bytecode-viewer supports a few too, but they're not guaranteed to all be the same version

sly topaz
#

well, except engima I guess

vagrant stratus
#

enigma's exe & dll

slim crown
#

wtf with refac & procyon the debug param names are back

nimble hill
#

It would seem that the jdgui was the issue

vagrant stratus
nimble hill
#

who would have known it was the barely legal age of 18 deprecated decompiler.

vagrant stratus
#

It's why I have 4 different Java decompiler. 2 of which have multiple which are built-in

nimble hill
#

cool, fire put out.

vagrant stratus
slim crown
#

still a bit strange but ig the placeholder processor is dropping some backwards compat stuff

slender elbow
#

decompilers are cringe

#

#

so you don't have the same spigot

I've got access to the same exact jar(s) as you do kekw

sly topaz
#

and it's being rewritten in rust™

vagrant stratus
slim crown
mellow edge
#

are in the final spigot jars only spigot mappings (if any?)

chrome beacon
#

depends on the version

sly topaz
#

I am not sure what that means

remote swallow
#

Spigot always runs Spigot mappings on the server

#

You can create mojang mapped jars for development but by default end user servers are always spigot mapped

sly topaz
#

can you even get mojang-mapped jars to run

#

ig if you just take the compiled artifact out of the target folder in the Spigot-Server repo that has the mojang mappings you could run that

mellow edge
#

legacy versions had spigot mappings only, on the modern versions as I can see they are spigot mappings on the server, but in dev mojang.

#

then buildtools remap them on compilation

#

but since I have reflection that will be no help to me

slender elbow
#

mojang mappings are only used during development of spigot itself

#

every running server out there is using spigot mappings

mellow edge
#

yes, but since I am using reflection I need to only look for spigot mappings

young knoll
#

This is why I avoid using names for reflection

#

And instead look for types/index

mellow edge
#

the order of the fields usually doesn't change

worldly ingot
#

Well especially the index of specific types

#

Filter fields by type, then index those

#

Definitely not impossible for those to change though. There could be some obscure fork that adds a new field of the type you're looking for

#

But at that point it's no different than that fork removing the field you're looking for, so fuck 'em

mellow edge
worldly ingot
#

Good to have both, yes

#

Just make sure you cache your reflective lookups. Don't want to be doing name and index lookups each time you want to get the field. Cache it, it will stay the same at runtime

mellow edge
#

already do ;)

    public static Field cachedFieldFinder(Class<?> clazz, String firstConstant, Class<?> retType, int index, String... alias) {
        FieldData data = new FieldData(clazz, firstConstant);
        if (fieldData.containsKey(data)) return fieldData.get(data);

        for (String constant : alias) {
            data = new FieldData(clazz, constant);
            if(fieldData.containsKey(data)) return fieldData.get(data);
        }
        GamePair<Field, String> fld = fieldFinder(clazz, firstConstant, retType, index, alias);
        if (fld == null) throw new NullPointerException("Could not find a field specified by the name: " + firstConstant + " of the class: " + clazz.getName());
        data = new FieldData(clazz, fld.getValue());
        fieldData.put(data, fld.getKey());
        return fld.getKey();
    }
#

I'll have to modify this specifically though

worldly ingot
#

Perfect

#

btw,

Field field = fieldData.get(data);
if (field != null) {
   return field;
}
#

Saves you from making 2 map lookups with containsKey() and get()

mellow edge
#

fair enough, I will refactor the whole thing though, as you can see it was made to serach by names

worldly ingot
#

just a good habit to keep in the back of your mind

#

Technically twice as fast!

mellow edge
#

I do have hashing though

#

(like it matters lol)

slim crown
#

just curious

worldly ingot
#

It basically does what I show, only it puts into the map if it's empty

mellow edge
#

I also have that yes, for caching almost everything I use computeIfAbsent

worldly ingot
# 
default V computeIfAbsent(K key, Function<? super K, ? extends V> mappingFunction) {
    Objects.requireNonNull(mappingFunction);
    V v;
    if ((v = get(key)) == null) { // Set v to get(key), if value doesn't exist
        V newValue;
        if ((newValue = mappingFunction.apply(key)) != null) { // Get new value from function. If not null,
            put(key, newValue); // put it in the map
            return newValue;
        }
    }

    return v; // If the value (v, from get(key)) wasn't null, return it
}
#

So, same thing, just with a value setter if null

mellow edge
#

yeah

#

still neat

So I haven't used spigot in a while, and this is really confusing me lol

#

Somehow my command isn't being registered?

#

I'm calling getCommand(..).setExecutor(..) on enable

#

and im sure the command is in the commands list in plugin.yml

#

yet it's as if the command simply isn't there, when I test it ingame

mellow edge
#

some tips why that might happen: is the plugin correctly loaded and compiled?, command just prints its name when executed? -> something wrong with plugin.yml (is it in resources?)

Nevermind I'm kinda slow

I restarted the server before putting the plugin there 😭

how do private mine plugins work? is it a packet to update one block or is there some way to update blocks on a large scale?

#

how to check if player has caught something, while fishing?

@Nullable
public Entity getCaught()
Gets the entity caught by the player.
If player has fished successfully, the result may be cast to Item.

Returns:
Entity caught by the player, Entity if fishing, and null if bobber has gotten stuck in the ground or nothing has been caught

I only see this in PlayerFishEvent but it dosen't return boolean (or im just stupid)

chrome beacon
#

It tells you what it returns if nothing has been caught

thorn isle
#

if you're asking how to discriminate between fishing up items from the water vs. catching an entity by hooking it, you can probably look at the fishing state to determine that

storm wind
#

And what do the mine plugins do, for example, to prevent the block from disappearing when you right-click on them?

chrome beacon
#

Are you making a plugin?

storm wind
chrome beacon
#

Then there's a packet that gets sent when a player right clicks a block

#

you'll need to handle that case and resend the block change

storm wind
#

what packet name?

#

and even with that, it still has more performance than the conventional mine plugin?

#

and another thing. when you move away the blocks that were modified on the client side can return to the original (server side). how do plugins deal with this? And also with alternative clients that can change this

chrome beacon
#

use item and block dig

#

for right and left click respectively

chrome beacon
storm wind
chrome beacon
#

anyways you'll need to listen for when a chunk is loaded for a player and apply your changes to it

storm wind
chrome beacon
#

define private mine plugin

thorn isle
#

to get fully per-player packet based functionality you're looking at replicating large parts of the game code which will be nontrivial to implement and maintain

#

replicating a mine schematic and having each player mining in a physically separated location/world will be far easier and the performance difference is negligible

mortal hare
#

is it just me or i like to write my own implementations of SQL without ORM's using plain old JDBC api by designing query interfaces and use cache like Caffeine?

#

overall it feels better experience than having to use hibernate or mybatis

#

it just integrates better with your code when you design the persistence instead of using generic solutions

drowsy helm
#

Same reason why large companies for the most part use ORMs aswell, they do everything automatically. No need to manually update potentially hundreds of queries when something changes

mortal hare
#

i despise session based orms

drowsy helm
#

Hibernate has verbose mode

mortal hare
#

its a debugging nightmare

thorn isle
#

i just store data as json blobs and call the sql job done

mortal hare
#

instead of controlling sql queries yourself you're giving it to external tool which does its job worse than you do if you weren't lazy to do proper implementation

drowsy helm
#

If ORMs were so horrible these mega companies wouldnt use them

mortal hare
#

you write sql migrations anyway

drowsy helm
#

But their use alone should be proof of their capabilities

mortal hare
#

i like how google does give advice on accesibility to use semantic html but itself doesnt use it properly

#

hipocrisy at its finest

slender elbow
#

you think they write that manually

mortal hare
#

you can automate semantic html

#

for example why tf this is not <ul> <li>?

#

and has to have aria role listitem

#

that just doesnt make sense

thorn isle
#

web devs are profoundly incompetent as a rule

#

google is no exception

drowsy helm
#

And why change something that isnt broken

chrome beacon
#

Roles seem correct at least

drowsy helm
#

Also probably legacy device support

#

It’s not such a black and white thing

mortal hare
#

if it was truly legacy it wouldnt use flexbox

#

<li> is supported since like IE 5

#

that's just incompetency

drowsy helm
#

You talk as if you are better than a team of thousands of developers. You dont think they have their reasons?

buoyant viper
mortal hare
thorn isle
#

well, see, dev time costs money

mortal hare
#

and yet they do this

buoyant viper
#

and probably codebases older than most of us here

thorn isle
#

if you had to pay for their huge dev team to rewrite this, would you tell them to rewrite this?

#

conversely, telling others to use semantic whatever whatever is optics which is pr which is money, so of course they would do so

#

you might not like it but it makes perfect sense

mortal hare
#

it all comes down to money

#

i just hate hipocrisy

#

i dont care if its div or ul

#

i just hate to see megacorps telling others what to do when they themselves dont taste their own medicine

buoyant viper
#

thats just anybody in the work field

#

corners get cut all the time

thorn isle

i don't really care about that part, i only wish the google ads interface wouldn't take 15 gigabytes of memory to run and OOM my browser after 45 minutes

chrome beacon
#

IF is one

rotund ravine
#

If mentioned

wet breach
# mortal hare for example why tf this is not <ul> <li>?

because div's on their own do not apply anything unlike those other tags you listed it is interpreted by the browser and each broswer does it differently or can. So you use Div and then setup the rules for the styling how you want.

#

would say Div is probably one of the most useful tags which is ironic because on its down it doesn't really do anything lol

young knoll
#

Oops! All div

buoyant viper
#

The world runs on Div

mortal hare
wet breach
torn shuttle
#

this is why I don't use html elements and instead just make my website a png

#

then I can be sure they get exactly what I wanted

mortal hare
#

semantically <ul> is preffered. You just cant code your website for specific browser or user agent stylesheet, that's just bad. That would be justifiable if they wanted to make page loads quicker, thus saving some data, but this obviously not the case because their whole website is div container hell and could be broken down into specific classes with way less html elements than It is right now

#

Its component-based autogenerated page, you can see it from class hashing and controller attributes.

#

Component css scoping is also dumb, like cascading stylesheets are cascading for a reason. instead of creating fine tuned css global classes with sass or heck vanilla css, frameworks opt-in for component level based css hashed classes which contains duplicate css properties per each component because those css classes are only used per element and cannot be optimized due to how frameworks dont analyze html tree for css classes

#

all of this nonsense and bloat is for "developer experience" for pushing quick and dirty apps which run like shit on mobile devices but kisses investors ass because "muh innovation"

#

its terrible and im tired of pretending its not.

#

i might sound like a boomer, but I believe that agile ruined the quality of todays software

#

companies nowadays prefer labelling their apps as AI powered and doing cashgrab from investors instead of doing real innovation or improving the quality of their existing software for example

#

just take a look at microsoft and what Windows became during the last 15 years

#

it's crazy how I get to relive and rewitness the same arguments that were going on 15 years ago

wet breach
# mortal hare semantically <ul> is preffered. You just cant code your website for specific bro...

These days browsers almost behave the same however there are times you have to make code for specific browsers. It was a lot worse years ago in this regard. Point is you absolutely can just sucks when you have to and as I said there is still cases where you do. Not sure what you mean semantically ul is preferred. Anyways, as far as html goes it doesn't really matter what you use as far as tags go since no matter which you choose to use it won't speed up anything if you are using a stylesheet file anyways unless you want to put the style in the element itself in which case it would but that is not the standard no more and frowned upon in doing vs using stylesheet lol.

mortal hare
#

MDN says you should semantic list html elements for such uses cases

wet breach
#

and?

mortal hare
#

i've replied to your " Not sure what you mean semantically ul is preferred"

wet breach
#

so because one browser said so means it applies for all?

mortal hare

thorn isle
#

make the area large enough to accommodate the largest possible size ahead of time

#

alternatively, create a world per mine

storm wind
thorn isle
#

yes, so have an empty area around the mine at first

#

and then expand the mine into the empty area as it grows

#

space the mines 1000 blocks apart

storm wind
#

cannot be empty

thorn isle
#

then fill it in

storm wind
#

and i make 1 world for each player?

thorn isle
#

that is the other alternative

storm wind
#

tthen server will have 5000 worlds

thorn isle
# thorn isle then fill it in

ideally, use a custom world generator that makes the world solid stone, and then paste the mines into the solid stone

#

you don't have 5000 concurrent players

storm wind
thorn isle
#

you only need a world per online player

storm wind
#

still, 100 worlds is a lot

thorn isle
#

alternatively, do what i said first and space the mines apart 1000 blocks

storm wind
#

and wouldn't it be better to do all this with packets? I don't think it's too complicated

thorn isle
#

because believe me doing this with packets isn't something you want to attempt yourself and probably can't afford to pay someone to do for you

#

you will have to replicate large parts of the netcode and game code to achieve this

#

and you will have to maintain it across versions

storm wind
#

just need use packetevents

thorn isle
#

you do you but i'll advise against it

storm wind
thorn isle
#

🤡 sure buddy

#

keep in mind that packets and game behaviour change across versions

#

packetevents is only a wrapper for the protocol

#

any changes made to it will still require changes on your end to be compatible

storm wind
#

I only have doubts regarding when I send a block change packet on the client side for example, for n factors the block can synchronize with the server block and no longer see the block and I don't know what these factors are. if it is by moving away, etc.

storm wind
thorn isle
#

you'll have to intercept all sent block change packets for the affected locations, all chunk packets for chunks containing affected locations, and probably light packets and a handful of game event packets

storm wind
thorn isle
#

for the chunk packets, you will have to decode the chunk contents and rewrite it to contain the blocks you need it to contain by accessing/modifying the palette and nibbles

young knoll
#

PacketEvents actually has a nice wrapper for that

thorn isle
#

that'll be quite convenient

#

then after that you'll want to either use nms or manually calculate the breaking speed of the tool on a given block and send block damage packets accordingly, and later once the block has been fully broken, compare the serverbound block break packet with the timing to see if the player is cheating (anticheats won't help you here since the blocks are clientside) and respond with an ack packet accordingly; damage the tool (remember to account for unbreaking); then create the dropped item with that new fancy EntitySnapshot API and send a spawn and set metadata packet for it, and similarly validate the player picking it up and manually add the item into the player inventory; or alternatively make the entity only pickable by that player and use the entity show/hide api to only show it to that player

#

overall i don't really think this is going to be worth the effort but you can take a crack at it if you like

#

like if this is for a prison server where the mine is like 90% of the server functionality, it might almost be more straight forward to rewrite a basic server in C or whatever that just supports movement and basic block breaking; that way you could actually have those 5000 concurrent players

mortal hare
#

apart from that you handle everything yourself

thorn isle
#

But muh 5000 concurrent players

#

I suppose java performs decently well nowadays if you avoid allocation traps

runTaskAsync is a poll of how many threads? and is this poll done for plugins only or does server.jar also use this poll?
I ask this because I don't know if I should use runTaskAsync to do database operations or if I have my poll for that

If you're on a modern version you can use VirtualThreads for database operations

in a server network when I need a new minecraft server for a minigame, do I create that using Kubernetes or what?

chrome beacon
#

That's one way to do it

robust helm
#

or is there any other sane way?

chrome beacon
#

it really depends on how you want to scale

#

For a small server running Kubernetes is overkill

robust helm
#

hm lets say 50 players

chrome beacon
#

Yeah then you do not need Kubernetes

robust helm
#

what do i use then?

#

docker run?.. and docker kill

chrome beacon
#

You should ask yourself if creating servers on demand is even necessary on that scale

robust helm
#

stale servers are expensive

chrome beacon
#

not really

#

you'd only need a single vps

#

or just a dedi

robust helm
#

is there anything better than kubernetes if I want on demand servers?

robust helm
chrome beacon
#

which is fine

robust helm
#

how do I cleanup the server after the minigame ends then?

chrome beacon
#

Depends on what needs cleaning

robust helm
#

so u mean I should only e.g remove the world but not the whole server?

you would need to create a custom system if you want something better

#

have done it, and it takes quite a while to make one

and put the players in there

oh thats cool

ig I'll try kubernetes to see how difficult it is

#

thank u both

robust helm

#

it doesn't really matter on the size

#

just matters how much resources you dedicate, whether or not the server is custom or not

#

I generally used custom servers where the internals have been gutted out except for what was needed for the games

#

everything not needed was tossed out

If there isn't a free thread to take up the task immediately, a new one is spawned for it

the implementation is pretty self-explanatory, so if you want more details then just take a peek at it

Hi again. I'm working on this airstrike thingy that can shoot projectiles from a specified origin to a specified destination. If the origin is very far away, the projectiles won't load and move (obviously). But, if I load all the chunks between the projectile and the destination, the projectiles still don't move, unless I move closer to the projectiles

#

any idea what the issue could be?

thorn isle
#

i'm pretty sure loading chunks through bukkit makes them the highest ticket level and hence entity ticking, but now that i think about it, i think mojang might have changed the way how entities are ticked recently

undone yarrow
#

that's bukkit though, I'm using paper

thorn isle
#

bukkit as in through the bukkit api

#

this includes paper, yes

#

in fact it is a pet peeve of mine that they still haven't added api for the various ticket levels

#

i would like to preload a bunch of chunks in memory for faster teleports/less gc spikes, but don't want to spend cpu on block/entity ticking; border chunks would achieve this but for that i'd need nms

#

and the chunk ticket bullshit is like one of the 3 places in nms which i refuse to touch

#

either way make sure you load the chunks before spawning the entity rather than after; paper has some settings where fireballs and other projectiles don't get saved on unload

#

and do a sanity check i suppose seeing a few ticks afterward if the projectile isValid

sly topaz
#

it's also recommended that you ask in their discord if you're running their software. Some of the things vcs2 pointed out don't apply to Spigot so if they didn't just happen to know them you could be in a pickle

thorn isle
#

something something entity activation range v2

#

though i don't think that affects projectiles

sly topaz
#

it definitely was back in 1.12, not so sure now

dawn flower
#

is it possible to make permenent trims? for example you do /trims then select chestplate then silence then white

now any chestplate that you wear will have silence trim with quartz but when you remove the chestplate the trim gets removed

thorn isle
#

depends on if it implements vertical activation range, which i think it does

#

back in the day it used to work like chunks, i.e. only horizontal distance would count

#

which was incredibly dumb

dawn flower
sly topaz
#

tbf it was made in pre-flattening era

thorn isle
sly topaz
#

don't we have an armor equip event by now

#

I remember there being a PR about that

thorn isle
#

the closest thing we have is paper's armor change event, but i don't remember if changes made to the old armor item are reflected in the item

#

dunno we might have it in spigot now

#

but eyeballing by the way paper implemented it, it might not always be possible to reflect the changes made on the old item

#

since iirc it just checked the slot every tick

#

not sure how the spigot pr is implemented

sly topaz
dawn flower
sly topaz
#

don't overcomplicate it and just set the trim when they equip

dawn flower
#

why not? can't i just do sendEquipmentChange on the same player?

sly topaz
#

ah, I forgot that was an API method yet again

#

ig if you don't care about the item not reflecting the trim, that's fine

thorn isle
#

it won't change the item in their inventory i don't think, which might look a bit confusing, but yeah that'll work for other players and in third person

storm wind
#

How do I serialize Material to string and vice versa?

storm wind
pseudo hazel
#

why a string

sly topaz
pseudo hazel
#

oh material, I thought you said item meta

storm wind
sly topaz
#

don't remember if there was any way to get the minecraft name of a Material back then

storm wind
thorn isle
#

and then the pool will spawn new ones

orchid gazelle
#

Minecraft is like the only game where fking community plugin devs know completely different api calls on 20 different versions at the top of their head, kinda crazy

thorn isle
#

there is a cache for them but it only retains a certain number of them for a certain period of time

storm wind
young knoll
#

It just handles stuff like casing for you

sly topaz
storm wind
thorn isle
sly topaz
#

just use the output of Material#toString on it

thorn isle
#

and that's what you were asking about afaik

#

or were you asking about completablefutures with a custom executor?

storm wind
thorn isle
#

right

sly topaz
#

I am confused, I am pretty sure you asked about the bukkit scheduler lol

thorn isle
#

yeeeah

storm wind
sly topaz
#

as Jish mentioned, it handles things like casing for you

storm wind
#

wdym casing

thorn isle
#

technically if what you intend to do with the string is to call the enum value getters, you should use Enum::name, since toString can be overridden

sly topaz
young knoll
#

It also handles namespaces in the modern version

storm wind
sly topaz
#

one is just more convenient

storm wind
#

and whats difference between getMaterial and matchmaterial?

thorn isle
#

i think the docs do say this but one throws an exception if nothing matches and the other returns null

storm wind
#

I understand that matchmaterial is even less strict than getmaterial

worldly ingot
#

Both return null, matchMaterial() does some processing on the input such as lowercasing, stripping of whitespace, and replacing spaces with underscores

#

Prefer matchMaterial() if you're accepting user input

thorn isle
#

odd, i remember getting an exception from them but maybe i just misremember

worldly ingot
#

valueOf() will throw the exception because it's Enum#valueOf()

thorn isle
#

i specifically remember being moderately annoyed because i thought it would return null but it exploded instead; i specifically picked it instead of valueOf because I wanted null out of it

#

god only knows though, i seem to be remembering things that never happened in recent years

but it also didnt work before and i tried everything. The Event isnt Even called

Why is the answer always because GPT told me every time 💀

#

also you're never closing your streams, use a try with resources

ocean hollow
#

is PlayerInputEvent works only on clicking. not holding? Can I make somehow holding button.

eternal night
#

input event is only called when the input changes

i have to click each time

#

i thought this event loops

#

no?

# 
    @EventHandler

        BoatSession session = MoreMinecraftBoats.instance.getSessions().getOwnerBoat(player);

        if(MoreMinecraftBoats.instance.getSessions().getOwnerBoat(player) == null){
            return;
        }

        Input input = event.getInput();

        if(input.isForward()){
            session.moveForward();
        }

        if(input.isRight()){
            session.rotate(3);
        } else if(input.isLeft()){
            session.rotate(-3);
        }
    }
#

like if i am holding that for 3 ticks. it will work 3 times

#

have I to do scheduler for this? and stop after forward input is false

young knoll
#

Yes

hardy cairn
# 
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(plugin, () -> {
            for (Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
 if (ArmourChecking.hasFullTrimmedArmor(player, TrimPattern.SILENCE)) {
                    if (!player.hasPotionEffect(PotionEffectType.STRENGTH)) {
                        player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.STRENGTH, Integer.MAX_VALUE, 1, true, false, true));
                        player.getPersistentDataContainer().set(effectKey, PersistentDataType.BYTE, (byte) 3);
                    }
                } else if (player.getPersistentDataContainer().has(effectKey, PersistentDataType.BYTE)) {
                    player.removePotionEffect(PotionEffectType.STRENGTH);
                    player.getPersistentDataContainer().remove(effectKey);
                }
            }
        }, 0L, 20L);
    }``` this is not causing lag on the server till now but i want to make a better way for this to make my plugin better anyone got any suggestions?

Use the infinite duration constant instead of int max

#

and instead of checking every couple of ticks you can listen for the armor changing

hardy cairn

woah thanks! this will really help optimize my plugin

#

Do the mine plugins that frequently add balances to the player normally update the database in real time or do they just update the cache which will be updated in the database periodically?

worthy yarrow
#

Probably the latter

storm wind
worthy yarrow
#

Those things you could probably make manual update calls cuz I figure they won’t be happening as much as the automated ones

storm wind
worthy yarrow
#

If you’re sure your caching system is solid then I don’t see the issue… they both deal with balance updates so just clear your cache whenever an update to the db occurs

#

Whether that happens manually or not, you’re still keeping things clean and updated

#

I guess you could keep like a transaction cache and total the amount from each one and modify db with that result just once in a while if you’re worried about that

ocean hollow
#

can I force player to user F5 using plugin? Maybe Mojang created ability to do this, they created camera distance attribute.

no

the camera_distance is being added because you can ride ghasts and such, so to look nice they added that so the view is further away

Hello again, I made this airstrike plugin that shoots shulker_bullets, disguised with a block display towards a specific destination from a specified origin, and then explode. The issue is, by divine intervention a shulker bullet sometimes gets magically removed, and leaves the block display floating in the air

image.png
#

I am checking the following events:
projectile hits
entity damaged
entity dies
projectile collides with entity
entity killed

#

I'm cancelling the event on each of these (for these shulker bullets), but somehow there's still some shulker bullets that get magically removed

#

Any ideas what could be happening here?

#

Are there any other events that might be run?

eternal oxide
#

chunk/entity unload will probably not save the bullet

undone yarrow
#

wdym?

eternal oxide
#

if the chunk unloads the bullet entity will probably be deleted, not saved. So your display gets saved but the bullet does not

undone yarrow
#

hm alright

#

I force load all the chunks that the bullets go through though

#

so I doubt that's it

eternal oxide
#

force load or chunk ticket?

undone yarrow
#

if I stop the explosions from breaking blocks (so, it still hurts entities but no blocks), then this is a lot rarer. Just spawned an insane amount of bullets for a min and only got 1 floating block display

Hey anyone here can help me? I got problem with plugin compilation.. please im not experienced

Why are you using a command

smoky anchor

  1. Don't use commands for your GUI control flow (or however it should be called)
  2. Is it your own command ? Are you sure it exists, is it properly registered ?

If u still wanna do it that shitty way. Close inventory, wait a tick. Make them run the command/

quartz relic
#

yes, i can run the command seperatly and it opens the menu so they both are register

and idk, i was following a course and they set it up with a command

young knoll
#

You are meant to wait a tick before opening another inventory in a click event

quartz relic

id add the wait in the listener part since that has the player.performCommand right

I try to add the external jar of spigot to my projects, but my JDE (eclipse) doesn't seem to recgonize it. I can't even use extends JavaPlugin. I am using the shaded snapshot of the spigot file like usual but it isnt working

Bootstrap Jar
The main spigot-1.18.jar is now a bootstrap jar which contains all libraries. You cannot directly depend on this jar. You should depend on Spigot/Spigot-API/target/spigot-api-1.18-R0.1-SNAPSHOT-shaded.jar, or the entire contents of the bundler directory from your server, or use a dependency manager such as Maven or Gradle to handle this automatically.

Please read the release notes for further information: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/9-years-of-spigotmc-spigot-bungeecord-1-18-1-18-1-release.534760/#post-4305163

If you're on windows download its zip extract it where you want it installed and then add the path to the bin folder to the path environmental variable

Alternatively you can use Intellij as your IDE it comes with maven preinstalled and it can help you setup Spigot projects with the mc dev plugin

Is there a way to completely remove the nametag of an npc?

sly topaz
#

if it is a player npc, if it is just a mob then you can just set custom name visible to false

#

the other option is to use team options, but that's kind of annoying in its own way

young knoll
#

Custom name visible doesn’t quite do what it says

sly topaz
#

well, I'll be damned then

young knoll
#

It’s always visible if you are close and looking at the mob

#

Making it “visible” just makes it always show when the mob is on screen

sly topaz
#

well then mounting or team options it is

winter jungle
#

Yea, it's a player NPC. What do you mean by mounting?

sly topaz
#

mounting an entity to it

#

you may use something without a hitbox if it is meant to be clicked, like a display entity or an armor stand with marker option

winter jungle
#

All right, thank you very much. I'll try something out :)

young knoll
#

I think display entities actually don’t hide the name tag

#

Intentionally

#

But a marker armorstand or a 0 size interaction entity should work

#

Alternative use teams

sly topaz
#

though an interaction entity is also a good option, I always forget those exist

young knoll
#

You can definitely have a mob with a normal name plus a text display

winter jungle
# young knoll But a marker armorstand or a 0 size interaction entity should work

I'm probably doing something wrong, but unfortunately the nameplate is still there.

private void createNPC(@NonNull LobbyNPC lobbyNPC) {
      final NPC npc = NPC.create("", lobbyNPC.armorStandLocation());
      npc.setClickHandler(lobbyNPC::interact);
      npc.spawn();

      ServerPlayer serverPlayer = ((ServerPlayer) npc.getSpawnedNPC());

      serverPlayer.setCustomNameVisible(false);
      serverPlayer.setCustomName(null);

      Location loc = npc.getLocation().clone().add(0, 2.03, 0);

      org.bukkit.entity.ArmorStand bukkitStand = (org.bukkit.entity.ArmorStand) loc.getWorld()
              .spawnEntity(loc, EntityType.ARMOR_STAND);

      bukkitStand.setMarker(true);
      bukkitStand.setVisible(false);
      bukkitStand.setCustomNameVisible(false);

      net.minecraft.world.entity.decoration.ArmorStand nmsStand = ((CraftArmorStand) bukkitStand).getHandle();

# sly topaz can't you just add the bow attack goal to the zombie

In the post it says that I tried to do this but you can't because the bow attack goal takes an entity that implements IRangedEntity which the zombie class does not. So it draws back the bow and when it tries to shoot it throws an exception trying to cast the zombie and just removes it.

sly topaz
jolly creek
young knoll
#

Make your own goal I guess

jolly creek
# young knoll Make your own goal I guess

This is exactly what I am doing, the reason why I am using NMS is to make the entity use the item so that the bow can draw back. There isn't any bukkit API for this.

#

So I am trying to mimic the NMS class in my custom goal and skip the cast to ranged entity.

sly topaz
#

you can probably use MobChipLite for it

jolly creek
sly topaz
#

Paper also has a mob goals API but it is paper only so, yeah

#

let me check if there's anything special about the bow goal attack goal, perhaps you can just clone that class

sly topaz
jolly creek
sly topaz
#

which method are you talking about exactly?

jolly creek
#

So either there is something very unique with the bow attack goal class which I am not seeing or I am not calling it properly, I am just calling once after spawning the entity and setting its main hand to a bow

jolly creek
#

Or were you talking about the NMS method?

sly topaz
#

no, that was the one

#

I have the feeling you'll have to create a custom entity to implement the necessary method, but let me check just to be sure

jolly creek
# sly topaz I have the feeling you'll have to create a custom entity to implement the necess...

I was planning on doing that but for these zombies I have a unique way I want the arrows to fire so it would make more sense to just create a custom goal rather than making the custom entity. I was thinking it could be some restriction of drawing the bow back in the item use call that is silently failing but this can't be the case because the vanilla bow attack class can be put on the vanilla zombie and it does draw the bow back.

#

It is very strange because if I call the useItem method from mob chip lite on a skeleton then it will draw the bow back just fine and will get stuck at the max pull back position. But when I do the exact same thing to a zombie that has a bow in its main hand then it does nothing.

#

@sly topaz Thank you for the help but I just solved it. For some reason you just have to wait 2 ticks after the mob is spawned before you call the use item method. Lol I wasted so much time on this XD

if I need each player to have their own scoreboard for stats

and I also need players to only be able to see the nametags of players in their faction

is this possible with teams?

sly topaz
#

if so, yes it should be possible

earnest girder
#

each player needs to have their own stats on the side bar,

and each faction of players needs to have a team that restricts nametag visibility to just each other

sly topaz

yeah, it should be fine

unless you're like in 1.8 and are using team prefix/name/suffix in order to extend scoreboard line length

it would still be possible, just a bit more annoying

how tf can you put efficient SQL persistence without sacrificing on performance in OOP without going anemic

#

i just dont understand how people push rich domain models but still put persistence in service classes

#

doesnt that still make your code anemic in a sense that you still manually sync persistence between the database

#

right now i made a service which constructs lazy loaded proxy classes which loads data according to repository class method operation (get, create etc), but i see this approach as brittle one since it only works simple CRUD operations

#

this just kinda proves that DDD is broken, and doesn't reflect real life apps without ORM.

#

this just proves that anemic operations are simply better with validator predicate interfaces for validating data instead of making mapping and bashing gc for no reason

If I have an economy plugin and I keep the nickname with a uuid, there may be 2 or more identical nicknames with different uuids. How do you solve this? For example, I need to have nickname support for commands like /money pay <nickname> and have it work for offline players. I was thinking about the solution of /money pay <nickname> searching the database for the player with that nickname with the most recent login time if they are not online, that is, it would add a timestamp to the database that was the date of the last login. Is this the best approach?

chrome beacon
#

Don't let two players have the same nickname

#

or give them another identifier you can use to pay them

storm wind
#

premium player logs in with nickname A. premium player changes nickname to nickname B, cracked player registers account with nickname A and premium player with nickname B has not logged in yet. There will be 2 nicknames with different uuids in my database

Hey guys, when creating a plugin with a bunch of subcommands, is there a good way to pass the tabComplete functionality down to the individual subcommands?
I have My main executor which contains the "entry point of my sub commands"
So: ```
MyExecutor

  • UsersCommands
    • UserCmd1
    • UserCmd2
    • ...
  • GroupsCommands
    • GroupCmd1
    • GroupCmd2
    • ...
So in this case my command will be:
`/myCommand <Users|Groups> <cmd>` so each command behaves diffrently and have their own format, some are `<playre_list> add <property_list>`, and other ones are simpler like `<player> delete`, etc...
Currently my main Executor's tabComplete only shows `users` and `groups`, then I want the Users command wrapper to show all possible user commands, same with the Groups wrapper. I found a way to do this but I'm not sure if it's the best approach - is there a standard/better way?
rotund ravine
#

What is your current way.

pastel nova
#

something like this:

@Override
  public List<String> onTabComplete(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
    List<String> completions = new ArrayList<>();
    
    if (args.length == 0) {
      return completions;
    }

    if (args.length == 1) {
      
      String userCmd = args[0];

      for (SubCommand sub : subCommands) {
        if (sub.getName().startsWith(userCmd)) {
          completions.add(sub.getName());
        }
      }

      return completions;
    }

    String userCmd = args[0];

    for (SubCommand sub : subCommands) {
      if (sub.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(userCmd)) {
        String[] subArgs = new String[args.length - 1];
        System.arraycopy(args, 1, subArgs, 0, args.length - 1);

        return sub.onTabComplete(sender, command, label, subArgs);
      }
    }

    return completions;
  }```
THis is my tabComplete executor
#

subCommands is this:

subCommands = List.of(
  new HelpCommand(),
  new ListCommand(pm),
  new UsersCommands(),
  new GroupsCommands()
);
```So UsersCommands and GroupCommands are subCommands and Help/List are top level (so u can just do `/mycommand list|help`
thorn isle
#

seems sensible, but replace that for loop and name equals check with a hashmap.get by name

pastel nova
#

yeah thats what I had before, i had a map like sub.getName(), sub but i though why not access it just by the sub.getName()

#

I dont think that time complexity is gonna be a problem since I will always have < 10 items in the list

thorn isle
#

not for the sake of time complexity, but it will be clearer to read and more concise

pastel nova
#

mh ok, but other than that its fine to make things like this

#

because i have the same structure in the sub commands

#

for example my UsersCommands is:

@Override
  public List<String> onTabComplete(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
    List<String> completions = new ArrayList<>();
    
    if (args.length == 0) {
      return completions;
    }

    if (args.length == 1) {
      return Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().stream().map(p -> p.getName()).toList();
    }

    for (SubCommand sub : subCommands) {
      if (sub.getName().startsWith(args[1])) {
        completions.add(sub.getName());
      }
    }

    return completions;
  }```
thorn isle
#

this is as close to the "standard practice" as one gets by implementing commands and tabcomplete from scratch; recursion, command nodes in a tree structure, and oop

pastel nova
#

mh okok

#

thanks

in big domains without DDD, product will be big ball of mud and basically you cant even update it. DDD solves that and seperates contexts(bounded context -> which is we use in real world in microservices).
