[buoyant viper]

have u never used Mixins?

[lilac dagger]

nope

[buoyant viper]

damn

[sly topaz]

put it inside a <pre> tag

[lilac dagger]

is this the main thing in mixins?

i have maps with values of different things, so having a way to use a factory as an annotation is really cool

[buoyant viper]

idk what their code may be but a main component of using Mixins is the @Mixin annotation that takes in a class

ie. @Mixin(MinecraftClient.class)

[tranquil quail]

I need partners 😭

[lilac dagger]

so cool

good to know

[buoyant viper]

me too, ive been single for too long

[tranquil quail]

I mean not like that wht

[sly topaz]

pair programming is for the weak

[tranquil quail]

For like developing

I'm strong

I wanna see everyone's plugins

[brittle geyser]

no it useful for my annotation config system

[umbral ridge]

man

what is the most common reason this happens

[buoyant viper]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/authors/winnpixie.79852/ 🙏🏻

[umbral ridge]

its been 45 minutes

and i cant figure it out

fucking bungeecord

on a lobby server i have enabled bungeecord.. i did all the steps through a tutorial and for them it works for me it doesn't

[manic delta]

i cant show my plugins because i have +100 private plugins damn, i have some here but nothing special https://www.spigotmc.org/members/system32_.1530022/#resources

[dusty herald]

Make sure that you're connecting through the Spigot proxy, not the lobby server

[umbral ridge]

yea xD

i figured it out

[jade bone]

Hi, i have a question regarding the MHF_ heads. I'm trying to add them to an custom GUI / Inventory using a helper function:

private ItemStack createHead(String owner, String displayName) {
        ItemStack skull = new ItemStack(Material.PLAYER_HEAD);
        SkullMeta meta = (SkullMeta) skull.getItemMeta();
        if (meta != null) {
            meta.setOwner(owner);
            meta.setDisplayName(displayName);
            skull.setItemMeta(meta);
        }
        return skull;
    }```
But they stay Alex heads, i call this function like so:
```java
 inv.setItem(46, createHead("MHF_ArrowLeft", plugin.getConfigManager().getLanguageManager().getMessage("previous_page")));```

[brittle geyser]

meta.setOwnerProfile(player.getPlayerProfile());

[jade bone]

Did it change?

[brittle geyser]

Yes

[jade bone]

But how can i get the player object of the MHF_ skin?

[pliant topaz]

isnt that just the player name? aka Bukkit#getPlayer

[brittle geyser]

try Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer("MHF_")

[jade bone]

meta.setOwnerProfile(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(owner)); needs a UUID unfortunatly

[brittle geyser]

then player.getPlayerProfile();

getOfflinePlayerExact?

do you have online-mode true?

[brittle geyser]

https://mcuuid.net/

[jade bone]

Where sorry? Its been a long time ;à

[brittle geyser]

Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(UUID.fromString("f2e4249e-f79d-4da4-a5d4-2291f7927f25"));

server.properties

[jade bone]

oh, didnt check could that be the issue?

[pliant topaz]

or just get the player and do getUuid on it

[brittle geyser]

no

[jade bone]

Hmm cant get it to work, it keeps rendering the wrong head. Is it maybe broken in 1.20+?

[pliant topaz]

the wrong head (not alex) indicates a wrong uuid or the player which the uuid does belong to changed their skin

[jade bone]

So basically MHF_ArrowRight has been overwritten -_-

[young void]

does anyone know about forbidden vanilla shader magic?

guide me please😂

how can i display players hand skin on a model

[grand flint]

what would be the best way to remove all sort of armour from the game?

like crafting, wearing, mobs spawning with it, structure chests

[young knoll]

Remove the recipes

Remove it from mobs in the spawn events

Remove it from loot in the loot generate event

[grand flint]

yeah its fine it wasnt like that

as in

ur method is correct

tturns out its not what im doing

thanks though 💋

[buoyant viper]

is there a /good/ way to modify the recipients of AsyncPlayerChatEvent?

[worldly ingot]

What do you think is the bad way?

[buoyant viper]

cancelling the chat event, and then manually calling sendMessage, idk

there is a getRecipients collection, but docs say it may be unmodifiable

[worldly ingot]

getRecipients() should be mutable on CraftBukkit servers

In all scenarios afaik

[pliant topaz]

and if it somehow errors you can still catch it and go back to the original approach

[unique shuttle]

Does anyone know how I can get the tag on the client?

[chrome beacon]

Are you writing a mod?

[unique shuttle]

I think it's server-side only. Is there any way to detect an NPC on the client?

[unique shuttle]

Yes

[chrome beacon]

For what purpose

[unique shuttle]

I want to modify the entity on the client only if it's an npc

[grand flint]

whats the best way to hide players from the tablist?

without hiding the player from eachother obv

[proud basin]

probably using PlayerInfoRemovePacket via ProtocolLib

[slender elbow]

Player#unlistPlayer or something

nvm that's paper lmao

[sly topaz]

was about to say

you can't hide yourself with those methods anyway

[slender elbow]

idk they didn't say hiding oneself

[sly topaz]

fair enough

[austere crow]

PostFlattenTagRegistrar is the only paper package that says it cant be found? im using the most current everything

import io.papermc.paper.tag.PostFlattenTagRegistrar;

[sly topaz]

you should ask these questions in the PaperMC discord, this channel is for Spigot help

[austere crow]

ohh

your right

thats a good idea

thanks

[buoyant viper]

designing a virtual economy system (because i hate myself and wont just use Vault + like some random Eco plugin), cant decide if i want to store and work with floating point numbers (and deal with potential FP errors 🤨), or store user balances as whole numbers, and do just basic integer arithmetic, and then only when the balance is displayed is when ill just ÷ 10.00 (possible point of failure 🤨)

or well, i guess i dont need to do math to show balance

i could just artificially create a string and populate empty space with zeroes

[slender elbow]

just use whole numbers

if your unit is a cent then for formatting you can do %d.%d where the whole part is balance / 100 and the decimal is balance % 100

but it really does keep the math really simple without fp inaccuracies

or you can just use a bigdecimal which that's what it does internally anyway, BigDecimal("123.45") is just value = 12345; scale = 2

[sly topaz]

Acktually ☝️ 🤓 , it uses a BigInteger for the unscaled value

but the essence is the same, so it isn't wrong per se

[slender elbow]

using an int for cents :(

only allow up to 21 million dollars

(only)

[sly topaz]

why the discrimination towards billionaires 😔

[slender elbow]

because I need to sleep

asado or pasta tomorrow?

[sly topaz]

pasta, humidity is too high

well, maybe it doesn't matter if you aren't going to be the one doing it lol

[slender elbow]

I can't remember the last time I've had parrilla 😭

(my memory is really bad)

[sly topaz]

(had it last week, just doesn't remember)

[buoyant viper]

ill store it as a long 😎

[mortal niche]

hey i keep on getting an exeption NullPointerExeption: Name is null

heres the code that i think is the problem

[drowsy helm]

are you checking for null values

[mortal niche]

sotty idk why the fuck it didnt sent the message with the code

[drowsy helm]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[drowsy helm]

probs too long

you can chuck it in that and send the link

I dont accept dms

just send it here

[left jay]

how can i remove this us16 box that shows up when trying to use the 🛡️ emoji?

[drowsy helm]

How are you sending it

Are you using the raw character or a unicode string

[left jay]

unicode string, but i did try as a raw character and it did the same thing

[mortal vortex]

thats a V.

🛡️ is an emoji, which contains both U+1F6E1 (which is a unicode shield symbol), AND Variation Selector-16 (U+FE0F).

Just dont use the emoji and use U+1F6E1

[brittle geyser]

You copied 2 emoji remove one

in the end

[charred blaze]

what event do i use for left clicking an entity?

[brittle geyser]

Player interact entity

[charred blaze]

that only covers right clicking

[brittle geyser]

[charred blaze]

the entity that im clicking is interaction entity and im not sure it gets damaged when i click it

[brittle geyser]

what entity type

[charred blaze]

Interaction entity

this thing

[brittle geyser]

What is your minecraft version

[charred blaze]

1.21

[brittle geyser]

[short vault]

hey guys i'm running into an issue, So the issue is i wanted to get my repository from github into intellij and i done this, After that any code that's related to spigot-paper-bukkit will give an error, and also pom.xml the same thing it's all errors

[cinder abyss]

Hello, how can I spawn Item displays using ProtocolLib ?
I tried doing this : https://paste.md-5.net/enodihigaj.java but the item display doesn't seem to appear

[chrome beacon]

Could you send your pom

[chrome beacon]

you're never sending the packets?

[cinder abyss]

oh fu my bad lol

thanks x)

still I know that they are correct because protocollib doesn't send errors lol

[cinder abyss]

hum, now I get a weird error :

[16:05:16 ERROR]: Error sending packet clientbound/minecraft:set_entity_data

with my code being : https://paste.md-5.net/satihuzece.java

do you know why ?

[slender elbow]

display entities are as cheap as they get, just spawn a real one

[thorn isle]

they do still shit up the entity tracker, so i wouldn't be spawning hundreds/thousands of them, but even then they are definitely one of the if not the cheapest server side entity you can spawn

[thorn isle]

honestly just use nms at this point

or like just spawn it as a real entity; just make sure to mark it as non persistent so if you lose track of it, it won't stick around

it doesn't seem like you're even making it visible/different on a per-player basis which is one of the few reasons you might want to do this with packets

[cinder abyss]

Okay I see, thank you for your help

[quaint comet]

Hi I have a problem while working with packets

using protocol lib I try to send an 'Explosion packet', but I get a super wierd error

Code: https://paste.md-5.net/igasovaqeg.java
Error: https://paste.md-5.net/ehidumiqit.md

(I am coding for version 1.21.5)

[chrome beacon]

Why are you using packets for that

[quaint comet]

I am experimenting with them and learning

and I wanted to try to show the explosion to only 1 player

[chrome beacon]

You can use the API for that

[quaint comet]

sure, but any idea where the problem might be?

[chrome beacon]

the problem is that you're trying to set fields in the packet that doesn't exist

[quaint comet]

what does that mean? sorry I am new to packets

[chrome beacon]

basically you have the wrong packet format for the version you're on

[quaint comet]

I thought that putting these 3 is enough, do I need to specify all fields?

[chrome beacon]

That's the protocol data

ProtocolLib is reflecting on the packet class itself

so you need to match Mojangs class

in this case those 3 doubles are stored as a vec3

(in modern versions)

[chrome beacon]

which means you need to write a vector to the packet

[quaint comet]

where can I find the mojang classes?

[chrome beacon]

?mappings

[undone axle]

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

[quaint comet]

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but these values listed here like vec3, float and boolean I should add into the packet

right?

[chrome beacon]

boolean?

[crimson agate]

How do I prevent click spamming? Like a cooldown for event processing? Because when I use a flag, when an click is processed in the same tick, it will still bypass this restriction

[crimson agate]

The method/constructor needs that that is correct

[chrome beacon]

those are the methods

[chrome beacon]

this

2 vec3s (one of which is optional), the explosion particle and explosion sound

[quaint comet]

is this correct? I am sorry that I get it that slow

[chrome beacon]

looks about right

see if works

[quaint comet]

I am so dumb

I was looking at a different explosion

now I am at the correct one

the time it took me to realize

...

[chrome beacon]

ah wrong class

[quaint comet]

ehm ehm ...

[kind coral]

does spigot have any rules about publishing gambling related plugins?

[buoyant viper]

i think it does actually

[thorn isle]

I don't think anyone follows them if it does

[sly topaz]

spigot itself might not but minecraft does

so, realistically, only servers that don't mind being blacklisted can use that kind of plugin lol

[thorn isle]

remind me, are crates considered gambling in the tos

[kind coral]

i mean most of the servers don't care because there are many ways to avoid the blacklist lol

[sly topaz]

gray area

technically yes but nobody sees it as damaging enough to enforce anything

[young knoll]

I think there are specifically rules against premium gambling plugins

Don’t recall any for free ones

[thorn isle]

i'm sure i've seen premium crates plugins

[chrome beacon]

are they older than the rule

[thorn isle]

i don't know, i can't remember any specific plugins off the top of my head, i'm just fairly sure i've seen some at some point

[grim hound]

How do you give an elytra a different 3d model based on some nbt?

like some model or some custom model data

literally no examples on the web

1.21.4 changed up everything

[grand flint]

i dont think its custom model data

its uhh

equip model?

[young knoll]

There’s armor model

Or whatever it is

[grand flint]

yeah its the equip model i think

[young knoll]

Though idk if that works for elytra

[grand flint]

it does

i got some on my server

[grim hound]

wait what

wdym

[grand flint]

items have an equip model if u add an equippable

here in command form:

[grim hound]

so a give @p elytra[custom_model_data={floats:[1]}] 1 wouldn't ever work?

[grand flint]

no

custom model data

just replaces the items look

also dont use custom model data after 1.21.4

u use the item model component

and here is the one for equippables

/give @a cobblestone[equippable={slot:chest,asset_id:"myarmor:emerald_chestplate"}]

[grim hound]

how

any wiki

any docs

anything

[grim hound]

asset_id?

[grand flint]

yeah thast for equippable

and here for item model;
/give @a cobblestone[equippable={slot:chest,asset_id:"myarmor:emerald_chestplate"},item_model="myarmor:emerald_chestplate"]

so the equippable model is the emerald_chestplate

then the item model is also the same

[grim hound]

why's it a cobblestone

[grand flint]

which is how the item looks in ur hand

why not

what does that change 🙏

[grim hound]

I see

[molten hearth]

should've used air

[grim hound]

which one defines which

[grand flint]

the item model is how it looks in ur hand

[grim hound]

item model is in inventory?

[grand flint]

when u throw it on the ground and stuff

the asset id

is for equippables

[grim hound]

I see

[grand flint]

its a model, how it looks when u equip it

only available for equippables

[grim hound]

what path does it prefix it with

[grand flint]

what

[grim hound]

like

[grand flint]

its a resourcepack

[grim hound]

yes

[grand flint]

assets>
minecraft>textures/models
myarmor>textures/models

so if u put ur armor in myarmor instead of minecraft

u would use myarmor:

[grim hound]

the asset_id is a .png texture right?

[grand flint]

no the asset id is a json

[grim hound]

uh

[grand flint]

i just told u its a model

how would a texture be 3d

[grim hound]

so what does it say

[grand flint]

.?

[grim hound]

the json

wtf is it

[grand flint]

what ever ur model is ??

[thorn isle]

it's essentially a list of primitive shapes defined by points and rotations

[grim hound]

nonono

not a blockbench model

just a simple model

like you'd remake an elytra

[grand flint]

dont talk to me anymore

[grim hound]

simple 2d png

[thorn isle]

you'd do that by listing primitive shapes described by points and rotations

[grand flint]

well look

i got this in nexo

this is the elytra

[grim hound]

now how would you make it only appear in certain elytras

[grand flint]

using the asset id probs idk

[grim hound]

so you don't know how the json looks like?

[grand flint]

the json is for a custom model

are u asking the json for an elytra?

[grim hound]

ohhh it's the

wait, there are two

[grand flint]

yeah

obv

u need to overwrite the minecraft elytra json

so u can add ur version to it

then if u have a custom eltyra u need to add a model for that

[grim hound]

so it's either this

{
  "parent": "minecraft:item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "minecraft:item/elytra"
  }
}

[grand flint]

thats not an elytra

thats an item

[grim hound]

{
  "layers": {
    "wings": [
      {
        "texture": "minecraft:elytra",
        "use_player_texture": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

so this?

[grand flint]

yeah i think soi

let me see

{
  "model": {
    "type": "condition",
    "property": "broken",
    "on_true": {
      "type": "range_dispatch",
      "property": "custom_model_data",
      "entries": [
        {
          "threshold": 1000.0,
          "model": {
            "type": "model",
            "model": "d1e4e01a-100b-4eaa-b146-86743263c24c:05d1ef37-9406-4e1e-a430-dd24313ef7a6",
            "tints": []
          }
        }
      ],
      "fallback": {
        "type": "model",
        "model": "item/elytra_broken",
        "tints": []
      }
    },
    "on_false": {
      "type": "range_dispatch",
      "property": "custom_model_data",
      "entries": [
        {
          "threshold": 1000.0,
          "model": {
            "type": "model",
            "model": "d1e4e01a-100b-4eaa-b146-86743263c24c:05d1ef37-9406-4e1e-a430-dd24313ef7a6",
            "tints": []
          }
        }
      ],
      "fallback": { "type": "model", "model": "item/elytra", "tints": [] }
    }
  }
}

and hten for custom model data;

{
  "parent": "item/generated",
  "textures": { "layer0": "item/elytra" },
  "overrides": [
    {
      "predicate": { "custom_model_data": 1000 },
      "model": "d1e4e01a-100b-4eaa-b146-86743263c24c:05d1ef37-9406-4e1e-a430-dd24313ef7a6"
    }
  ]
}

[grim hound]

uh huh

[grand flint]

this is assets>minecraft>items>elytra.json

[grand flint]

this is assets>minecraft>models>elytra.json

[grim hound]

so no equipment >elytra.json?

[grand flint]

no dont think so

elytras work a bit different

u also need ur own elytra json

[grand flint]

which is this

u add ur own version

like my_elytra.json

then u would change it to texture: minecraft:my_elytra

[grim hound]

to equipment/my_elytra.json?

[grand flint]

u can also make custom tridents somehow now

[grand flint]

no??

there is no equipment

that owuld go wherever u wanna put it

which would most likely just be inside of minecraft>models

[grim hound]

I meant is in vanilla

[grand flint]

yeah

i dont care

[grim hound]

not models/item?

[grand flint]

what would that possibly change ?

the main folder matters

the folder inside that doesnt matter

[grim hound]

just asking where this should be

[grand flint]

either

assets>minecraft>models>

or

assets>mynamespace>models>

what u put inside the models> folder doesnt matter, the main thing is that the models folder

so u could also have models>elytras>

[grim hound]

so

right?

it's inside a models folder

[grand flint]

yeah tahst fine

then u need

assets>minecraft>textures>wings1.png

[grim hound]

it is there

nothing renders

[grand flint]

then u need teh elytra definiton files

[grand flint]

so this with the custom model data

im not sure how that one works i dont excatly think u need that but yeah

thats for the

item in hand

[grim hound]

still

[grand flint]

this is the main definition im pretty sure

then u did it wrong

[grim hound]

what exactly?

[grand flint]

show this file

[grand flint]

this

[grim hound]

wdym this

[grand flint]

thats the file that makes the actual elytra render as a custom one

[grand flint]

.

[grim hound]

it needs to be called elytra.json?

[grand flint]

yes..? that is a minecraft file

a definition file

[grim hound]

and what does this sha1 mean?

[grand flint]

what

thats my file

just obsfucated

[grand flint]

it will hack ur server

[grim hound]

is it like

uuhhh

texture?

[grand flint]

no it litearlly says model:

[grim hound]

or is it a json

aight

[grand flint]

give me a se

c

[grim hound]

soo uh

I assume this needs a custommodeldata defined so some value I cannot infer

[grand flint]

i sent u

the other file as well :D

[grand flint]

.

[grim hound]

where does this go again?

[eternal night]

models just need that self referencing

composite models would go hard if they could just link to a separate model file

[grim hound]

so into models/ ?

[grand flint]

.

thats a minecraft file as well

not ur custom file

[grim hound]

now it's also invisible in the inventory

/give @a elytra[equippable={slot:chest,asset_id:"minecraft:xes"},custom_model_data={floats:[1000]}] with

like that?

would you mind if I

sent you the rp?

[grim hound]

also, other packs I haven't seen use a minecraft definition in the models folder

like elytra.json

[grand flint]

good for u

[grim hound]

So why would it still be invis?

[left jay]

ok sorry i messed up it wasnt the unicode it was the raw emoji, but even then i looked up the unicode character and when i pasted it in it made the same string: "\uD83D\uDEE1"

[left jay]

messed up, it was the raw character

[karmic mural]

Is there any existing function in spigotAPI I can call to see how much EXP is required to reach a certain level?

Would be to get the right amount of XP to remove from a player based on a certain level input, so they are deducted the EXP cost of X levels, not the literal levels themselves

or do I just need to use the level forumla to calculate it

[mortal vortex]

formula it is..

[karmic mural]

sadness, formula it is

[sly topaz]

public static int getTotalExpForLevel(int level) {
    if (level <= 16) return level * level + 6 * level;
    if (level <= 31) return (int) (2.5 * level * level - 40.5 * level + 360);
    return (int) (4.5 * level * level - 162.5 * level + 2220);
}

the formula is simple enough

you just have to remember to sum the value of Player::getExp * HumanEntity::getExpToLevel to that

[karmic mural]

haha just completed it myself after finding the source on the wiki and verifying it was accurate

But ty for the input

[karmic mural]

I'm not sure what you mean by this, could you rephrase?

[sly topaz]

well, in the case you want the total experience level necessary for a player to achieve that level, you'd need to take into account the amount of xp they already have towards the next level (aka progress/Player::getExp * exp needed for next level/HumanEntity::getExpToNextLevel = current progress in exp). However since you're trying to remove levels, I guess it doesn't matter?

I am a bit head empty right now to think about implications lol

[karmic mural]

Ohh yeah it doesn't matter in this case as this is simply to remove levels from a player

without removing the literal levels as the cost would get higher the higher their total level

So rather than removing the levels I would get total exp, then set total xp - total exp for level

[karmic mural]

just for clarity, on the 2nd and 3rd return you specify the return is an int, but on the first one you don't?

[echo basalt]

second and third have decimal numbers that need to be converted back

first one doesn't

[karmic mural]

Oh duh, ty lol

Level doesn't look like a real word anymore

[strong sable]

how long does premium resources take for approval?
It's been 7 days 😭

[karmic mural]

Following up on the earlier, would this be a sane way to achieve my goal of removing XP and making sure there's no desync on client side?

public static void removeLevelsFromPlayer(int level, Player player){
    int experienceCost = (getTotalExpForLevel(level));
    int playerTotalExperience = player.getTotalExperience();
    int newPlayerExperience = (playerTotalExperience - experienceCost);

    player.setTotalExperience(newPlayerExperience - 1);
    player.giveExp(1);
}

public static int getTotalExpForLevel(int level) {
    if (level<=16) return level * level + 6 * level;
    if (level<=31) return (int) (2.5 * level * level - 40.5 * level + 360);
    return (int) (4.5* level * level - 162.5* level + 2220);
}```

[mortal vortex]

int playerTotalExperience = player.getTotalExpForLevel(); huh

oh u editted it

[karmic mural]

haha yeah I just saw it

I'm not in my usual environment so it auto-filled incorrectly

[mortal vortex]

hang on, thats giving the total EXP needed to reach that level from 0, not the cost of gaining that many levels from current position, whcih is what i thought u were trying to do.

also its <16 and <31, not <=, because 16 and 31 are the bounds, not inclusive i dont tink

[karmic mural]

Yes, it's to remove the value of the levels from 0 rather than just removing the levels

[karmic mural]

it'd be <17 or <32 in that case, it is inclusive

~~removed fandom link ~~

[mortal vortex]

okee well if the numbers are right then sur, good method.

no, dont go off the fandom

(example)

fandom can be like completely wrong

[smoky anchor]

as I said literally below this, use the other, better wiki
there is an extension to replace the fandom links :D

[mortal vortex]

okay in that case its right my bad, ur boundaries r good

[karmic mural]

sorry what wiki would that be

the minecraft.wiki one?

[smoky anchor]

https://minecraft.wiki/

ye

[karmic mural]

Info checks out there at least so all good, but ty for the feedback

and the wiki thing, idk why it wasn't the first result when I searched for it

[mortal vortex]

steve gets paid to promote minecraft.wiki

[smoky anchor]

shh

[karmic mural]

But just to circle back to this, would there be a better way to remove the exp and ensure the players client is updated to display the new exp value?

[strong sable]

how long does premium resources take for approval?

It's been 7 days

[mortal vortex]

ten trillion years

if you donate to spigotmc, its reduced to 4 working days

total no brainer solution

[pseudo hazel]

lol

no brain, full wallet

or more like empty wallet..

[echo basalt]

You know you can just player.setLevel(player.getLevel() - levels)

[karmic mural]

You know that if you're level 300 and you subtract 100 levels, that's a LOT more exp than if you're level 105 and subtract 100 levels? The point of this is to subtract the Experience needed to reach that level from 0, not the absolute level value from the players total level

Players with hundreds of levels would be losing far more than those that are closer to the exact level needed

[brittle geyser]

ye its make sense

[thorn isle]

it could be considered a feature

diminishing returns and whatnot

depending on the context where this is used, being able to spend xp on 3 things in a row could be much more powerful than being able to do the three individually with having to collect xp in between, so it would be reasonable to remove more xp for doing the former

[slender elbow]

how to fix this error?
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.comphenix.protocol.ProtocolManager.addPacketListener(com.comphenix.protocol.events.PacketListener)" because "this.protocolManager" is null

i tried many things but its not getting fixed

[pseudo hazel]

do you have any more to that error?

for example a stacktrace?

[thorn isle]

don't call addPacketListener() on this.protocolManager if it's null

[echo basalt]

[stark dirge]

like whats the mechanics

[vast ledge]

What what's the mechanics

[pseudo hazel]

probably making a custom ChunkGenerator

[thorn isle]

what's a donut smp

[vast ledge]

I think he wants to not send packets for x blocks below the player

Ex when you're standing at y 90 you can't see y0 with freecam

[thorn isle]

will be kind of annoying to do with a plugin, but with nms it should be somewhat doable

[vast ledge]

Ye, his description wasn't all to enlightening

[pseudo hazel]

doesnt sound very easy

[thorn isle]

i do something kinda sorta similar in my view distance extender, you basically end up copying the chunk data packet write logic and make it write only the chunk sections you want

[vast ledge]

Not sure how mc sends world packets, is it per block or an entire chunk at once?

[thorn isle]

entire chunk

changes/updates are sent per-block

[vast ledge]

Ah, so you'd have to catch the chunk packet modify it to only contain blocks in players view distance and then send

[pseudo hazel]

yeah and I guess catch all changes to those blocks and dont send those as well?

[vast ledge]

Yea

Probs an array or hashmap of the chunks the player has been sent and what blocks he needs updates for

Seems like it would fuck Performance tho

[thorn isle]

and then once the player changes their elevation, you'll have to re-send chunk packets with those omitted sections in them

[vast ledge]

@stark dirge solution to your question in the above messages, just learn Java and then you can implement it ;D

[thorn isle]

alternatively, if what you want is some kind of anti-xray thing, paper has that built in and on spigot you can use ore obfuscator or whatever it's called

[vast ledge]

True, still don't understand what donut smp is. Do they like have something special with donuts or??

[grand flint]

no he said not showing it

[grand flint]

nah they just got 20k players

[young knoll]

Drop all the lower chunk sections in the outgoing chunk packets

And then resend them all I guess when the player goes below that level?

[grand flint]

oh yeah doesnt chunks have Y level chunks as 2ell

[young knoll]

Mhm

[grand flint]

thats kinda crazy though

[young knoll]

Though does that really help

[grand flint]

how is donut smp handling all that

they got folia though

[young knoll]

Presumably I can just dig down and then freecam

[grand flint]

that must help a lot with the world

[grand flint]

ye but then u need to keep moving

its more for like elytra

[vast ledge]

How so

[grand flint]

or horses

[grand flint]

how does folia help with the world?

isnt that like the entire purpose of folia

[vast ledge]

Missed the folia message

[grand flint]

thats kinda smart though

[pseudo hazel]

well no, they said not loading it, which I think is up to interpretation

[grand flint]

prople cant just run around finding bases

u gotta memorize every single bedrock in the world

to find them

[grand flint]

well he just said what he thinks happens

i do wonder what 20k people do on donut smp

surely half of them is afk players

there is way more afk servers than smp servers

[vast ledge]

That would be wildly inefficient if you were to load half a chunk at a time tho wouldn't it?

[pseudo hazel]

well idk wtf donut smp is so that was a misunderstanding on my part

anyways im not dying on this hill

[young knoll]

You can’t load half a chunk

Well I guess you could but ehh

But you can fairly easily send half a chunk to clients

[lilac dagger]

Chunks are split in slices as far as I remember

[pseudo hazel]

i was confused with generating vs loading

[vast ledge]

Happens to the best

[young knoll]

I guess an even better way would be to directly implement vertical view distance in ChunkMap

[thorn isle]

that's one of the parts in nms i refuse to touch with a ten foot pole because spottedleaf made an absolute mess of it

in paper at least

[young knoll]

Well yeah paper uses moonrise

It’s not really nms at that point

[hollow haven]

Sooo. I'm really struggling with potions and such in spigot.

I'm trying to make a menu to select an effect, and all of that's easy to display by iterating through the registry of potioneffecttypes, but... I can't seem to be able to get a name or id of the potion. getName() is depracated and points to getKey()... which is also deprecated and points to getKeyOrThrow()... which plain doesn't work. Whenever the code is exscuted on server, it says "method does not exist" or similar

[rotund ravine]

?nocode

[undone axle]

It’s hard to answer a programming question without code
Oh no! You ran into a problem. But no worries, people are willing to help, but first they need to see your code. This is because otherwise, they would be providing help based on guesses instead of concrete knowledge. Whether it be a compile error, runtime error, or an unexpected output, I'm sure that if you were to provide code, you'd receive a quick solution.

[hollow haven]

for (PotionEffectType potion_type : Registry.EFFECT) {
            ItemStack potion = new ItemStack(Material.POTION);
            PotionMeta potion_meta = (PotionMeta) potion.getItemMeta();
            if (potion_meta != null) {
                potion_meta.setDisplayName("&" + potion_type.getColor().asRGB() + potion_type.getKeyOrThrow().getKey());
                potion_meta.setColor(potion_type.getColor());
                potion.setItemMeta(potion_meta);
            }
            pane.addItem(new GuiItem(potion, (event) -> {
                effect.setPotionEffect(potion_type);
                PotionEffectMenu gui = new PotionEffectMenu(effect);
                gui.show(viewer);
            }));
        }

Error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'org.bukkit.NamespacedKey org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffectType.getKeyOrThrow()'

[chrome beacon]

and what version are you on?

[hollow haven]

1.21.4

[chrome beacon]

and you're running Spigot

[hollow haven]

Spigot in code. Papermc on server

[chrome beacon]

Test on Spigot

[eternal night]

paper does not support that ^

if you are coding for 1.21.4 or later, paper hardforked there. So develop against the API you are using or switch to spigot

[hollow haven]

Ok, that's all cool if I were coding the plugin just for myself, but realistically, I want to support both.

I'll opt for the solution I waa making myself, and that's mapping everything myself lol

[chrome beacon]

Time for multimodule hackery

(or reflection)

[eternal night]

Yea probably easier than mapping everything manually

[hollow haven]

Is it lol? It's just 33 or so strings. 1 hashmap, and I have what I want

I haven't messed with reflection

[eternal night]

33 or so strings this version

next version, one might be added, one might be renamed, another removed

the version after, 3 renames

who knows

[hollow haven]

Any references for reflections/multimodule? I've never touched that

Haven't had the need to

[eternal night]

The general idea is that you create a bunch of interfaces that abstract your API dependant logic and then have a module imeplementing them via spigot API and one implementing them via paper API

[hollow haven]

Mmmm....

So I'd have to redo a lot, no? For stuff that already uses spigot?

[eternal night]

Well no, only the bits that are not the same between spigot and paper

[hollow haven]

Gotcha. I'll see what I can come up with, but, still sucks =v=

Don't get the point of hard forking such a like, random thing

[eternal night]

I mean, that commit was just after paper hardforked

so it just naturally did not get pulled anymore

wasn't like actively removed

[hollow haven]

I see. I'm not up to date on differences or, whatever has been going on. I just know a majority uses paper, but I code for spigot

Is there any code I could reference for a like, proper spigot/paper multimodule implementation? I get making an interface to abstract it, but it'd still be nice to see

[eternal night]

interface ServerAPIBridge {
    String getPotionEffectTypeName(PotionEffectType potionEffectType);
}

class PaperAPIBridge implements ServerAPIBridge {

    @Override
    public String getPotionEffectTypeName(final PotionEffectType potionEffectType) {
        return PlainTextComponentSerializer.plainText().serialize(Component.translatable(potionEffectType));
    }
}

class SpigotAPIBridge implements ServerAPIBridge {

    @Override
    public String getPotionEffectTypeName(final PotionEffectType potionEffectType) {
        return potionEffectType.getKeyOrThrow().getKey().replaceAll("_", " ");
    }
}

this would be like "the idea"

idk if spigot exposes a way to translate the potion effects translation key

you'd have them in separate modules (either maven or gradle) so that one of them can depend on the spigot-api, the other on the paper-api

you shade them into your final jar

and then instanciate the correct bridge depending on the server you run

so like ServerAPIBridge bridge = amIOnSpigot() ? new SpigotAPIBridge() : new PaperAPIBridge()

[slender elbow]

thats so much code, can you summarise it?

[eternal night]

Sure! Here's a super simple explanation for someone who doesn't know anything about coding:

This code is like a translator that helps get the name of a potion effect (like "Speed" or "Invisibility") in Minecraft, but how it does that depends on what kind of Minecraft server you're using.

There are two kinds of servers here:

Paper server – This one uses fancy text formatting tools to get the name of the potion effect.

Spigot server – This one just grabs the potion effect's name and replaces any underscores (like in "WATER_BREATHING") with spaces so it looks nicer (like "WATER BREATHING").

In both cases, the goal is the same: give you a readable name for a potion effect. The way it gets that name just depends on whether the server is Paper or Spigot.

[hollow haven]

Aye. But is just adding paper as a dependency enough? And then using it? Or do I have to do some more set up?

[eternal night]

Well, you cannot do that nicely in the same module

the spigot and paper dependencies will clash

[hollow haven]

Urhhahuhnnm

💥

So much effort to just get potion names ;c

[eternal night]

I mean yea, you are basically developing a plugin for two different server softwares

[hollow haven]

Aye...

I'll have to do more research on this

For now, my map will work

But like

[eternal night]

fair enough

[hollow haven]

Deffo have to fiddle with this

[eternal night]

Yea, especially given every day spigot and paper merge API, they drift apart further

[hollow haven]

Hoped there was some example project I could see to like

[slender elbow]

like in that movie

where they drive into the sunset or something

[hollow haven]

Tear it apart and see

[worldly ingot]

I never realized how bad of a lane merge the white car made

It's pissing me off

[buoyant viper]

what do the memory footprints of BigDec and BigInt look like

still trying to decide how i want to do currency, bc i could just use like... long and have more room for currency than ill ever need (bc id probably cap at max int lol), but ik BigDecimal is also made to handle arithmetic like that that needs low (basically 0) margin of error

[eternal night]

depends if you need decimal points xD

useless to have a BigDecimal if you only give out gold coins

[buoyant viper]

i plan on having something akin to US cents so i do end up w decimals 😞

if it was just single, whole coins id def just use int or long depending on what i wanted max bal to be

[eternal night]

Then yea Def go with big decimal

It's memory footprint is miniml

[buoyant viper]

yee

[buoyant viper]

ah, fuck, i gotta figure out how to [de]serialize BD

[eternal oxide]

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/serialized-form.html#java.math.BigDecimal

[thorn isle]

personally i'd just toString it and then use the string constructor, unless you specifically want to serialize it as binary

much nicer to work with in databases and such

[buoyant viper]

nicer as in bin form is nicer or string form is nicer

[thorn isle]

string is nicer

binary isn't human readable, but is more compact

[young knoll]

You can’t sight read binary?

Pfft

[buoyant viper]

so i did think about Object streams

[eternal night]

object streams

[buoyant viper]

ill have to test when i get home what that data looks like

[eternal night]

but like, big decimal is a big int and a precision int (well and scale)

fwiw, sql just toString()s it

[buoyant viper]

hear me out

ObjectOutputStream(ByteArrayOutputStream())
base64 encode the byte array
write base64 string to DB

[slender elbow]

Object stream is :( because it has terrible space efficiency

[buoyant viper]

itll be fiiinneeee

[eternal night]

pretty sure it is like

objectively worse than just #toString lol

[buoyant viper]

oh it 100% would be

[buoyant viper]

https://paste.md-5.net/jaheyujoda.diff how does this look for basic structure

[sly topaz]

is there a reason you aren't just using some existing economy plugin

[buoyant viper]

i like reinventing the wheel

[sly topaz]

fair enough

[buoyant viper]

and i hate myself just enough to do it

[quaint mantle]

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/math/BigInteger.html#toByteArray--

[sly topaz]

make sure to make all the method return completable futures because brr database operations

either that or setup a cache so that the get methods return from cache and then have retrieval methods or something

[buoyant viper]

yeah i planned on lazy saving

like plugin shutdown or something

n loading would be (blocking?) from DB if exists beforehand

[sly topaz]

me when the server crashes and I had just made a million vbucks transaction so my money is just lost in the cache:

[young knoll]

Ew blocking

[buoyant viper]

True

[sly topaz]

https://tenor.com/bGrAy.gif

[young knoll]

What if my database is on the moon

[buoyant viper]

i hope u got Fiber

[sly topaz]

I would have 3 levels of persistence

[quaint mantle]

Just use sqlite at this point 😭

[sly topaz]

I would have a sqlite database for local persistence and then another database on top for network-wide operations

[young knoll]

But then I can’t put it on the moon!

[buoyant viper]

i could have a periodic save that then also has a master save at the end of life

or i could set up async transacting

idk

[sly topaz]

I would recommend first try to figure out the infrastructure and the scope before going into the code

are you going to use a database, if so an embedded one like sqlite or something like postgres? Is it going to be necessary to worry about cross-server synchronization and if so, should you offer a way to hook into a distributed cache like valkey or hazelcast? Or just use a messaging pub/sub on something like RabbitMQ?

once you figure out these questions, then the design for the plugin itself should be more clear

not that these are the only concerns, but usually the primary ones, cache, persistence and synchronization methodology

[buoyant viper]

hmm

i wont need to cross-sync balances between servers (itll just be a single mc serv) but i would like support for off-site databasing

[buoyant viper]

oh no yeah this is gonna take me a while to even flesh out before i start writing the actual code

hell im still trying to figure out the data type i want to store the balance as LOL

this is part of a big update for my smp that im not even expecting to roll out until next year

[buoyant viper]

i guess possible synchronization issues aside, does it at least look like a good way of structuring? @sly topaz

[sly topaz]

sure, doesn't ring any alarm bells for me so it sounds fine

[buoyant viper]

yippee

[uneven hinge]

https://github.com/Cutie-svg/SpleefPlugin.git

so the main issue is that my arena doesn't reset and my gamestate after finishing one game stays LIVE instead of RECRUITING

Someone help please

[rotund ravine]

I am now sharing the plugin 👌🏻

Tbf can’t even rmbr what it was

Oh

This one

[rotund ravine]

Please focus on both the “end” and the reset part for me

I cba to go look at the whole thing

[uneven hinge]

Can u explain a bit?

Like what do i do with them

[rotund ravine]

What did u do with them so far?

[sly topaz]

only place that looks like it'd hard stop the reset process seems to be the slimeWorld == null check

how are you terminating the game? Just using the terminate command on the arena?

[uneven hinge]

It can be used in arena / lobby

like if x and y are playing a game and z has permission to run /terminate he can terminate the match of x or y from the lobby

[sly topaz]

Yeah but what I mean is, how did you test the reset logic

[uneven hinge]

Why should it? My world isn't null

[sly topaz]

I don't know, but it is one of the few places where there's just a return and no output so if it happened to be the case and you wouldn't know then I would guess it might be there. Your logic looks solid as well so it doesn't smell like an issue with the plugin itself

if you want to know for sure, use a debugger. Should be easy to setup

[uneven hinge]

Could it be cause i don't depend on ASP?

in plugin.yml

[sly topaz]

that shouldn't stop it from working if you have ASP in your server, it just makes it so your plugin disables if the dependency isn't there. You should add it though

oh, is there any chance spleef_arena world is the main world?

[uneven hinge]

No

[sly topaz]

yeah no then just check with a debugger, my guess it is on the readWolrd returning null for whatever reason

[uneven hinge]

Can you tell me how do i add a debuger?

I never added it lol

[sly topaz]

create a Remote JVM debug configuration in IntelliJ, copy the cmdline flags it shows you in the window, then put it in your test server's start script (make sure it is before the -jar flag). After that you can start your server and hit the debug button in IJ to start the debugger

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/tutorial-remote-debug.html

[uneven hinge]

Alright thanks

[sly topaz]

oh, also make sure to edit your timeout-time in the spigot.yml so that it doesn't automatically crash the server after 60 seconds of suspension (will happen when you hit breakpoints)

[uneven hinge]

How much shud i edit it?

[sly topaz]

I usually set it to 9999 or something like that lol

[uneven hinge]

alright thanks

[robust helm]

any reason to use the bukkit schedular instead of CompletableFuture.runAsync for async stuff, aside from being able to cancel the bukkit stuff when the plugin shuts down?

[lilac dagger]

personally using completablefutures or executors nowdays in everything

[slender elbow]

they are not mutually exclusive, you can use them in conjunction

you can even use CompletableFuture.runAsync to run something on the main thread

[lilac dagger]

yeah, it depends on what you need them for

[slender elbow]

mostly useful if you have a CF chain and you need to hop to the main thread for a bit

[robust helm]

sooo many weird terms

time for chatgpt

[slender elbow]

good to know that you don't value your own time lol

[young knoll]

Bukkit has a method to run something in the main thread

But it returns a future not a CompletableFuture

:(

[thorn isle]

CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(My::method, (task) -> Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(plugin, task))

or if you're on paper,

CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(My::method, Bukkit.getMainThreadExecutor(plugin))

both work about equivalently

runasync without an executor parameter goes onto the common fork join pool, which, unlike the bukkit async scheduler thread pool, is bounded

this is generally better, as you won't end up blitzing through 500 threads

[echo basalt]

That main thread executor is not blocking

[slender elbow]

it just pipes the runnable to runTask

why would it be blocking? the whole point of executors is asynchronicity lol

[echo basalt]

Eating rn I'll give an example in a bit

In short, race conditions

[slender elbow]

🤨

[echo basalt]

In the case of futures it might not matter as much, depending on abstraction but for general tasks it might:

Let's say you have 2 impls of the executor

Non-blocking: (task) -> scheduler.runTask(plugin, task)
blocking: (task) -> lock -> scheduler.runTask(plugin, () -> {task(), unlock})

[slender elbow]

why on earth would you do that lmao

under that definition, every executor that isn't Runnable::run is non-blocking

which is a good thing

[echo basalt]

async -> sync -> async without callback hell

[slender elbow]

???

CF.runAsync(() -> not main thread)
  .thenRunAsync(() -> main thread, mainExecutor)
  .thenRunAsync(() -> not main thread)

runs perfectly as expected

let me reword that

skewing the definition of "sync" and "async"

the whole pipeline is async

[echo basalt]

yeah the more I think about this the more I think I'm stupid holup

[slender elbow]

the last runnable does not start all the way until the second runnable finishes

[echo basalt]

yeah my stupid ass thought the second runnable finishes when the executor.run finishes running

instead of just running a wrapper task that finishes after the scheduled runnable is actually called

[slender elbow]

you should be using reactive streams anyway :chatting:

[echo basalt]

15yo me felt so smart back then

[thorn isle]

you can also pass data and exceptions from a future to its dependents, e.g.

world.getChunkAtAsync(x,z)
    .thenApplyAsync(chunk::getSnapshot, mainExecutor)
    .thenApplyAsync(Skyblock::countBlockValueInChunk)
    .thenAcceptAsync((Double value) -> islandManager.updateChunkValue(x,z,value), islandSingleThreadExecutor)

here we schedule the chunk load from the caller thread, then once it loads, we dip to the server thread to extract the chunk snapshot, then we iterate over the blocks or whatever on the common pool, and finally we go to the plugin's own executor thread to update the data for the island

[slender elbow]

.thenApplyAsync(chunk::getSnapshot, mainExecutor) :(

[thorn isle]

passing the main executor here is required if you call getChunk off-main, since if the chunk is already loaded, the future will be returned completed and you end up calling getSnapshot off-main which is haram

[slender elbow]

the previous future already completes on the server thread, plus it will remove the load ticket immediately after the callback so there is a chance for the chunk to unload between the rescheduling of the task and the getSnapshot call

causing a sync load :(

[thorn isle]

the behavior may have changed since 1.18, but at least back then, if you called getChunkAtAsync on a chunk that's already loaded, it returns a future that's already complete

and calling thenAccept on a future that's already complete runs the task on the caller thread

i.e. off main

[slender elbow]

idk about back then but today if the method is called off main, it will recall itself on main

so it always completes on main

[thorn isle]

neat

it was kind of ass before precisely because of that opportunity for the chunk to unload in between

although even then that's kind of racy now that i think about it

if the main thread completes the future in between you making the getChunk call and the thenAccept call, the task will run on the caller thread and not on the main thread

considering how long the server usually takes to get to its polls that is probably very unlikely to happen, but there's no guarantee for it not to happen

so passing the main executor is still mandatory in principle

[slender elbow]

alternatively use the Consumer method :) (or just call getChunkAtAsync from the main thread)

[uneven hinge]

Hey so after adding a debugger and testing i can see that my reset() method doesn't get called

and checkec without debugger and added some syouts but still isnt getting called

[wet breach]

so call your method 🙂

seems like an easy fix

[uneven hinge]

..

[fresh merlin]

Bro my ajleaderboard plugin stops working when I restart server and after putting another ajleaderboard plugin it works smoothly but as soon as I restart server it stops

[clear elm]

Hey, is there any API with its help i can get the Skull of offline player becuase the bukkit version dont works for me

[thorn isle]

both are kind of awkward to use alongside with futures but yeah it looks like this is how you have to do it still

[slender elbow]

yeah i mean there isn't really a 100000% safe way if you call it off main and the future for whatever reason completes before you get to append to it, like glhf

at least not one that doesn't involve more hacks

CF.supplyAsync(() -> world.getChunkAtAsync(cx, cz), mainExecutor).thenCompose(Function.identity()) :nodders:

also it does look like in 1.18 it rescheduled back to main too

[thorn isle]

i think it was before the moonrise nonsense

or it could be that i misremember

[slender elbow]

yeah moonrise wasn't a thing in 1.18

it's fairly recent

wow 1.21, that recent

[thorn isle]

i just vaguely remember digging into chunkmap or something and seeing it return CompletableFuture.completedFuture() with the chunk if it was already loaded

which i mean is valid behavior and kind of preferable to scheduling a task to an executor to return an already loaded chunk

but as of moonrise i have completely given up making any manner of informed assumptions about how the chunk system works

[wet breach]

to better aide in debugging, create a new parameter for your arena's to identify them all in your lists. IE an id of some sort that increments. Anytime anything happens in one of these arena instances, have it output its id and what its doing

[uneven hinge]

are u sure that my dumb brain would understand

[wet breach]

Well, I have a feeling that either it is an instance problem where things are not being applied to the appropriate instances or you have more then one manager instance which is causing the issues since you have no guard on ensuring only a single instance of the managers

[thorn isle]

the real fix here would be to bring back the chunk unload delay that was removed in like 1.13 or something so the chunk simply wouldn't get to unload before the scheduled ::getSnapshot runs

[wet breach]

debugger should show the managers issue if that was the case, but it wouldn't help with the arena instance issue hence needing a way to identify them since you can have duplicate arena's

[clear elm]

How can i get offline Players skull?

[undone canyon]

Hello, please tell me how to request this package and what the parameters should look like.

Take a look at the wiki ^^

[chrome beacon]

You mean this? https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/SkullMeta.html#setOwningPlayer(org.bukkit.OfflinePlayer)

[clear elm]

idk

i have tried everything and i dont works for offline players

import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.SkullMeta;

import java.util.UUID;

public class PlayerHead {
    public static ItemStack getPlayerHead(UUID playerUUID) {
        ItemStack skull = new ItemStack(Material.PLAYER_HEAD);
        SkullMeta meta = (SkullMeta) skull.getItemMeta();
        meta.setOwningPlayer(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(playerUUID));
        skull.setItemMeta(meta);
        return skull;
    }
}

i had this code and it didnt work

If the player is offline i get a basic head like steve or alex

@chrome beacon

[chrome beacon]

I see

Use https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/SkullMeta.html#setOwnerProfile(org.bukkit.profile.PlayerProfile)

[clear elm]

will this work for sure?

[chrome beacon]

if it doesn't work directly call update on the profile first

should cause it to look up data from mojang

[clear elm]

is there also a method to get a skull from a uuid?

[pseudo hazel]

have you checked that the offline player is actually a valid player with valid uuid

[clear elm]

yes becuase when the player is online it loads his actul skin

[pseudo hazel]

hmm okay then

yeha then try the profile method

[clear elm]

is there a method to get a skull from the uuid cuz i dont see one

[crimson agate]

Do you guys recommend using mojang or spigot mappings? When I would use mojang I would compile against spigot. What is more usefull to know? Since the names change depending on what I use.

I am new to nms. I know how it works, but I am new to reading the actual src code and understanding what each method does what I want to do

[thorn isle]

mojang mappings

spigot names are kind of eyeballed and not very good

[young knoll]

We also don't have names for most things anymore

[left knoll]

Hi

I need help with Net Safari Plugin

#help-server

and

?ask

[undone axle]

If you have a question, please just ask it. Don't look for staff or topic experts. Don't ask to ask or ask if people are awake or available. Just ask the question to the channel straight out, and wait patiently for a reply. Make sure you use the right channel regarding the topic of your question. Create a thread in case the channel is already in use!

[buoyant viper]

dumb question, but can a player receive potion effects while theyre dead?

id like to blind a player while theyre dead but idk if theyll receive the effect

[nova notch]

I'd imagine no because dead players just don't even exist iirc

try it and see

[hybrid spoke]

why wouldnt they exist?

[buoyant viper]

yeah, ill try when im home from work tn

[crimson agate]

Do I have to do anything else other than just using the mappings? Like some special arguments to convert back into spigot for building

I use gradle

[nova notch]

Because when a player dies it doesn't just like set the state of the player entity to dead or anything, the player entity gets removed from the world entirely

[chrome beacon]

https://github.com/patrick-choe/mojang-spigot-remapper

Will take care of what you need

[hybrid spoke]

oh i woudlve thought that it's different for players

[crimson agate]

Where do I find mojang remapped sources? Intellij doesn't index correctly, and I can't fined the sources.jar in plain spigot folder either. I have activated "generate sources" in buildtools though

[nova notch]

yeah honestly I have no idea why that is the way it is

mojang strikes again

[crimson agate]

Do I have to use SpecialSource

[young knoll]

Yes

[sly topaz]

SpecialSource doesn’t do source remapping

One thing you could try to do is manually compiling spigot with sources and then attaching the given source jar to IJ

[abstract totem]

is there an easy way to spawn a FireworkEffect as a clientside one or one that does no damage/knockback without having to catch the EntityDamageEvent?

[sly topaz]

do fireworks even do damage

as for the question itself, I don't think so, no

at least not without using internals

[buoyant viper]

they can yes

i forget what u need crafting-wise, but people do make "rocket launchers" using fireworks as crossbow ammo

[young knoll]

Any firework with a firework star

If you just use paper and gunpowder you don’t get a bang

[slender elbow]

sir, this is spigot

[young knoll]

I’m going to attach you to a firework

[hexed robin]

is there a documentation of the bungeecord protocol?
what specifically does the bungeecord say to the server?
Does it simply forward or it does something else?

[sullen marlin]

Yes it just forwards packets, there's no special protocol

The only difference is it uses the hostname field of the login packet for IP forwarding if enabled

Otherwise it's 100% Vanilla

[hexed robin]

Ah, I so just act as a client then in bungeecord for the spigot server? (replacing the ip if forward is enabled etc)

[sullen marlin]

Yes

[hexed robin]

Thanks a lot!

[grand flint]

mr beast?

[torn shuttle]

hmmmm

if I have a component in a class that gets extended, is it cleaner if the children access that directly or if the parent exposes methods from the component

[drowsy helm]

From an encapsulation standpoint access methods. But it’s a lot more boilerplate

Really depends on what the component is and whether it’s methods need to be monitored

[torn shuttle]

yeah for my models project that is primarily meant to be used as an api/library I went with the more verbose but easier to access route

but man it's a pain

also if you put actual functionality in there, then forget about it and bypass it you're in a world of hurt

[tall dome]

Hi!
I see that libraries section of plugin.yml is marked as preview
Is it possible to enable it in a server and if not, which version will it be available from?

I spent a lot of time automating it and now I noticed it doesn't even work ;-;

[chrome beacon]

it's been available and working since 1.17

not sure where you found it marked as preview 🤷‍♂️

[tall dome]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/plugin-yml/

[chrome beacon]

I see

It's not marked as preview in the javadoc so 🤷‍♂️

[tall dome]

I sees, ty ^.^

Does it download libraries into ./libraries? I didn't see my declared libraries there on 1.21.4

[pseudo hazel]

that article is outdated

[chrome beacon]

This is a preview feature.
nvm comment instead of annotation 💀

anyways it works fine

you can use it

[pseudo hazel]

I think instead of using the plugin.yml you would usually just use the build system to declare the libraries right?

[tall dome]

plugin.yml is to inform the Minecraft server about them and it can download them
this prevents duplicates of same library between plugins

I was looking in the wrong folder >.<

[tall dome]

Is 1.17 the confirmed earliest version? Where can I read about when it was added?

I checked a bunch of versions and in javadocs it appears in 1.16.5
https://helpch.at/docs/1.16.5/org/bukkit/plugin/PluginDescriptionFile.html#getLibraries()

[chrome beacon]

I was going off memory I could be wrong

check the changelog on spigotmc

[tall dome]

okie

[pseudo hazel]

oh i see

[chrome beacon]

right just to make sure the library you're trying to use is on maven central?

[cosmic arch]

Hey, I'm trying to work with packets in PAPER 1.21.8 using ProtocolLib. My goal is to change the yaw/pitch of a player (using packets). Whatever I tried, it either resulted in nothing happening or causing errors.
Could someone that has a little expertise in packet-related code join me in a call and show me so I can do these kind of things on my own.

[wooden bay]

Paper?

[cosmic arch]

yes

Are you able to help me @wooden bay

[pseudo hazel]

maybe ask in the paper server?

[cosmic arch]

Does it make a diffrence when using ProtocolLib?

[pseudo hazel]

idk

that depends on the problem

[cosmic arch]

bruh

[pseudo hazel]

but then let me pose another question

why not ask protocolib for help

[wooden bay]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-brain-meme-big-brain-big-brain-meme-big-brain-time-gif-2441110471562975014

[cosmic arch]

whut? Have you used ProtocolLib?

[pseudo hazel]

no

wdym

[cosmic arch]

It's a plugin, open source, I haven't really heard of any community where you can get support for this kind of stuff

[pseudo hazel]

is there no support for it?

[cosmic arch]

Packets, nms etc

[pseudo hazel]

that means its not a very good project then

[wooden bay]

Use packetevents

[pseudo hazel]

you get support for spigot, which is also free

[cosmic arch]

Is there a community to ask questions in?

[cosmic arch]

bro, still it is about packets

[pseudo hazel]

yeah packetevents has help channels

[cosmic arch]

Alr, i'll look into it

[potent crescent]

how to upload image

[grand flint]

Use imgur its better

[potent crescent]

alr thx

Does anyone have code for calculating the width of a component?

I stole radsteve's but it's brokey and he gave up on the industry

[remote swallow]

adventure component or bungee

[slender elbow]

yes

[remote swallow]

for adventure id just say plaintext serialize it and length (probably wont work if you use client side translatables) and for bungee, convert to adventure components and do that step

[slender elbow]

bold and stuff changes the width

[remote swallow]

ah

i kinda yolo'd that

[thorn isle]

Bold makes the text block 1 pixel wider

hi , when will new resources be aprvoed?

its been like from friday 😛

soon(tm)

[buoyant viper]

eventually

[grand flint]

premium resources?

can u post a premium server software?

[twin venture]

like ever xD

[buoyant viper]

i think stand-alones also suffer from the approval system

[grand flint]

can we post a paper fork as a premium resource on spigot LMAO

[buoyant viper]

[fleet pier]

is it possible in spigot 1.8.9 to open a villager inventory with custom things to buy?

i see there is the InventoryType.MERCHANT but does it actually work?
how would i add items and what they cost

[buoyant viper]

https://helpch.at/docs/1.8.8/org/bukkit/inventory/MerchantInventory.html

try looking around in that inventory @fleet pier

[fleet pier]

oop

thank you thank you

[buoyant viper]

today i will do blocking IO for SQL queries

[grand flint]

hannah

[young knoll]

No

Premium resources must be plugins

doesnt add any new voids

so i guess its a normal inv?
