oh what a shame, guess my words were too much for them and I haven't even said that much either

[rough drift]

where was that one doc about scheduling tasks across ticks to prevent some ticks taking too long?

I can't seem to find that page

[slender elbow]

look at smile

[wet breach]

ah

[stable lark]

hello guys I am working currently for my first big project Anticheat: NeXploit
do you have some kind of tips how to detect auto farms berritone (it will be free )

[thorn isle]

auto what now

[stable lark]

auto farm like with bonemeal

it is detecting more than half of modules that meteor client has soo i think it is good now but there is still room for improvment

[slender elbow]

people use bone meal.. cheats?

[stable lark]

yea

[slender elbow]

you can literally put bone meal in a dispenser

[stable lark]

it is much faster than in dispenser

[slender elbow]

a) cheating crops is pathetic b) how many carrots do you need that using cheats is so much more worth it than 1-ticking a dispenser

anyway

i don't care

[umbral ridge]

why not just block custom clients to connect to your server in the first place?

[stable lark]

they can easily bypass that

[umbral ridge]

custom clients sent custom packets to the server

which can be tracked somehow

[stable lark]

yea buut clients can cancel packets

with server proof

[slender elbow]

a cheat client telling the server a cheat client is joining is quite a hilarious concept

[umbral ridge]

exactly

[slender elbow]

no, they don't always send custom packets

but you can detect patterns in the packets for the cheats that are being used

[umbral ridge]

thats exactly right

[wet breach]

and why exactly is this an issue?

[stable lark]

because on some server there is economic and they can easily farm and i am trying to detect most stuff that is not that hard to detect with basic math

[wet breach]

is farming supposed to be difficult?

if you want people to wait in terms of time, you would just simply ban the use of bonemeal, so I really don't see the issue here lmao

[stable lark]

I am just trying to detect everything

soo

[sly topaz]

I would probably make a plugin to limit bonemeal usage rather

or make a feature out of it and turn bonemeal into a more precious resource

[wet breach]

they must buy it to obtain it 😉

thus, the cycle of economics

anyways, don't really see the issue of using bonemeal super quick though lmao

[sly topaz]

I assume they just don't want people breaking the economy too fast

[wet breach]

but then you would just not allow it

[slender elbow]

it's not binary

you can just.. slow it down

[sly topaz]

it isn't a black or white situation, you don't want players to hate your server

[wet breach]

well it is

[slender elbow]

but it's not

[umbral ridge]

Rasist

[sly topaz]

it'll happen eventually when some users play for long enough, but if you let players just destroy the economy in a few days then there's no community formed

[umbral ridge]

XD

[thorn isle]

my only advice to anyone working on an anticheat plugin is to give up

[stable lark]

exactly

[wet breach]

no one cares about the community except those who formed it to begin with

anyways, I guess people love to create problems out of nowhere

and then come up with some elaborate solution even though the most simple one already existed -.-

[thorn isle]

either way what does the "cheat" consist of, anyway? a player should only be able to bonemeal something 20 times a tick legitimately, if they're going over that, it's anticheat territory; if the issue is that 20 bone meal per tick is too much for you, it really should go in a separate plugin that balances bonemeal instead

i think the server already caps it to 20 per tick to begin with

i mean per second

1 per tick

[slender elbow]

but why disable a mechanism completely for the people that care when you can limit it? then the people that want to cheat will be limited and leave, and the people that don't want to will not be bothered by it

[thorn isle]

if i wanted to balance this, i'd write a plugin to apply an item cooldown to bone meal on use, using the vanilla cooldown mechanism

[wet breach]

not sure what experience you speaking from. Literally have never had an issue with removing items from a server

if people disliked it, well it wasn't for them and they are not the only ones ever in the world

[thorn isle]

this would be more intuitive than whatever an anticheat plugin would do

[sly topaz]

I mean, everyone manages their servers differently. Just because that worked for you doesn't mean it will work for everyone, sometimes it is hard to get a grasp of even a few players

the point here is that they're trying to do something to balance their economy

[wet breach]

well it does work for everyone. The ones that tried to please everyone die off

[stable lark]

I am not server owner bruh I am just trying to detect cheaters

[thorn isle]

that's not within the purview of an anticheat plugin

[slender elbow]

i am speaking from my own experience

[slender elbow]

it doesn't

lmao

what are you onto

[stable lark]

+every server owner will set it yourself so what is the point

[thorn isle]

if you're looking for cheaters, being able to use bonemeal 20 times per second on a block is a legitimate vanilla feature

[slender elbow]

why are you so adamant about removing a mechanism for the people who care about using it genuinely

when you can limit the usage for those who cheat and allow the genuine use

[wet breach]

interesting you call it a cheat when its allowed o.O

[sly topaz]

I won't get ragebaited in a pointless bonemeal discussion so I'll leave it here, the guy already got answers to their question anyway lol

[stable lark]

yea

[wet breach]

your guys defintions are pretty weird. and yes the servers that do try to please everyone do indeed don't make it

not even hypixel tries to please everyone lmao

[umbral ridge]

my suggestion is dont use anticheat at all.. but perm ban people if you catch them. Ip ban. Name ban. Perm ban them any way possible

[slender elbow]

who is talking about pleasing everyone?

[stable lark]

VPN btw

[thorn isle]

only a problem on cracked servers

[slender elbow]

i am talking about pleasing the people who want to play naturally, specifically leaving out cheaters

[umbral ridge]

and use a premium server

[wooden bay]

Hire mods

[wet breach]

Anyways good luck with the elaborate solution, even though simple ones exist and are highly effective

[wet breach]

still interesting you call them cheaters for using a mechanic that was allowed

[sly topaz]

when I had a server I usually just banned them for one year

[quaint mantle]

If you hate cheaters then you should start playing singleplayer

[stable lark]

so fliying without creative is allowed too broski

[thorn isle]

i think anticheat has its place even on premium servers, staff probably won't be online and directly watching over every player 1:1 24/7; punishments can be left up to staff, but notifications/logging and preventation of blatant cheats is still useful

[sly topaz]

flying without creative (elytras aside) isn't a vanilla feature

it is a plugin thing

[wet breach]

that isnt my point and if you can't understand that, then obviously I shouldn't even attempt to speak with you -.-

[stable lark]

yea that i am doing it will flag players and a team can then look at it

bruh bc of that i want to detect all kind of staff in to the logs

[stable lark]

no one told you you must type here

[thorn isle]

someone taping their right mouse button down with bonemeal in their hand most likely isn't worth logging to be honest

if you get more than one item use packet per tick, sure, that's fishy and probably a modified client, that ought to be logged

[wet breach]

that is indeed correct and your point is?

[thorn isle]

but below that it's just noise and useless false positives

[stable lark]

yea I know but it still can detect behavior if like he is just not moving but staying on one cords poinitng in void he cant bonemeal some weed

[thorn isle]

that'd be a direction/interact check unrelated to bonemeal

[stable lark]

and I am trying to that

[thorn isle]

check whether the interacted-with block is within line of sight

[stable lark]

kk

[wooden bay]

Right or he could just go build a full custom client + server stack with kernel-level anticheat, rewrite half the JVM in C and ship it for free. Totally realistic use of his time ez

[umbral ridge]

If only we could live longer

Life is too short for coding

its too short

[thorn isle]

send the keyboard inputs to the server and render the game on the cloud

[wet breach]

doubt kernel level anti-cheat would be effective

however, without a custom client its pretty pointless making anti-cheats for something that accepts what the client says and not the other way around

but I have always found it pretty effective to just scan the packets for the info you seek

to get the data early and do whatever verification later

[umbral ridge]

what would be effective in your opinion

[stable lark]

yea I am interested in that too

[wooden bay]

Rewrite minecraft itself 🙂

[stable lark]

yea and add hyper threading

that would be beautiful

[thorn isle]

that's on your cpu

[stable lark]

sorry bad english i meant that multiple cores

I didnt sleep for long time

[slender elbow]

bone mealing 49 blocks squared per tick is an intended game mechanic? it might be a mechanic but it's still cheating as it's humanly impossible

[quaint mantle]

Then sleep bro 😭

[wooden bay]

Or they have a insanely cracked gaming chair

[stable lark]

(I had 2 monsters I am cooked)

[thorn isle]

i think the server does or at least is supposed to limit your item use packets to 1 per tick, so 20 is the legitimate maximum per second

[stable lark]

yea fortnite type

[slender elbow]

does it tho?

[wooden bay]

what's that

[thorn isle]

i'm not sure

[slender elbow]

it has no cooldown so idk

[wet breach]

and you have hinted towards a way to limit without actually doing any limiting. Just drop packets 😉

[thorn isle]

i'd expect it to; if not, i'd expect an anticheat plugin to limit it to 1 per tick

[quaint mantle]

Bro will do it if humanity discovers immortality

[oblique furnace]

Hi, I am currently coding a plugin with crowns that has a texture pack.
VALOR("Crown of Valor ⚔\uFE0F", ChatColor.RED, "", "Battle Cry", 30, 1),
this is a crown with the custom model data = 1.
(Its a netherite helmet btw)
This is the netherite_helmet.json in My_texture_pack/assets/minecraft/models/item:
{
"parent": "minecraft:item/generated",
"textures": {
"layer0": "minecraft:item/netherite_helmet"
},
"overrides": [
{"predicate": { "custom_model_data": 1 }, "model": "item/valor_crown"}
]
}
and I have a texture in My_texture_pack/assets/minecraft/textures/item/valor_crown.png
if I give myself the valor crown, while I have my texture pack on, its just a normal netherite helmet. Can someone help me?

[grand flint]

u can use an app

[real crater]

I do have a Samsung

[real crater]

Whats the app

[grand flint]

idk

[smoky anchor]

Exact version ?

[outer ember]

Im so Happy
i worked on a code for 3days
and yeah ALL THE COMMANDS DOESNT WORK
Yay 😄

[grand flint]

u can do this course

on phone since its website

[oblique furnace]

1.21.4

[smoky anchor]

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Items_model_definition

[smoky anchor]

The way you use custom model data has changed
BUT You should not be using it in this way anymore at all
Use item_model component instead

[grand flint]

dependssss

for example if u want to have an optional pack

u should use custom model data

cuz if u use item model and there is no resource pack

it will show up untextured

but without pack it will show as base item

[smoky anchor]

Ok well I guess you are correct in this case
But I would not do an "optional resourcepack"
You can always force the client to download the RP

[oblique furnace]

and how does this new way work?😅

[smoky anchor]

I sent a link

[grand flint]

ik but sometimes u want it optional

like i got a gen server its optional

since its only like a cosmetic thing

but item models are dope and the best

[smoky anchor]

Just create a new item model definition (preferably in your own namespace) and using Spigot API set the itemstack to use your custom model.
You can look into vanilla RP to see how the item model definitions look

[grand flint]

just use nexo 🙏

[smoky anchor]

Boi
This guy is making a simple item
There is negative need to depend on whatever that may be

[oblique furnace]

uhm... I want to make 9 new item textures😅

[smoky anchor]

Ye that's fine, just do the same thing 9 times

[tired elbow]

Hi

I need help

[winter jungle]

?xy

[undone axle]

https://xyproblem.info/

[winter jungle]

wrong site nvm

[tired elbow]

Look, when I make an entity and add a location, I want this location to access the path of the config.yml, but for that I need to go through the name of the entity, so I want to access the name

(custom) and after naming it, access the location and be able to invoke the entity correctly, how do I do it?

[sullen marlin]

Sorry what

[violet blade]

Do you want to spawn an entity, give it a name, and then teleport it to a location stored in the config, or do you want to spawn the entity directly at that location with all its data taken from the config?

[tired elbow]

It's a text display and to create that text display I need a location

Something like fancy holograms

[violet blade]

most of these plugins work by first spawning the entity at the player’s current location, and then you adjust it afterward

after that, you can also populate the file with placeholder data, like a sample first line and the initial location

[minor urchin]

so i recently updated my mc server and spigot api to the latest version, but my custom heads now dont have a texture in my inventory but they do on my head when i am in f5? This is my code

        ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.PLAYER_HEAD);
        SkullMeta meta = (SkullMeta) item.getItemMeta();
        if(stackable) {
            meta.setOwnerProfile(stackableHead(texture));
        }else {
            meta.setOwnerProfile(unstackableHead(texture));
        }
        item.setItemMeta(meta);
        return item;
    }
    
    public PlayerProfile unstackableHead(String url) {
        PlayerProfile profile = Bukkit.createPlayerProfile(UUID.randomUUID());
        PlayerTextures textures = profile.getTextures();
        URL urlObject;
        try {
            urlObject = new URI("https://textures.minecraft.net/texture/" + url).toURL();
        } catch (URISyntaxException exception) {
            throw new RuntimeException("String violates RFC 2396", exception);
        } catch (MalformedURLException exception) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Invalid URL", exception);
        }
        textures.setSkin(urlObject);
        profile.setTextures(textures);
        return profile;
    }
    
    public PlayerProfile stackableHead(String url) {
        PlayerProfile profile = Bukkit.createPlayerProfile(UUID.fromString("7910bd8e-11c3-49d4-96ec-9e6c6beb56c4"));
        PlayerTextures textures = profile.getTextures();
        URL urlObject;
        try {
            urlObject = new URI("https://textures.minecraft.net/texture/" + url).toURL();
        } catch (URISyntaxException exception) {
            throw new RuntimeException("String violates RFC 2396", exception);
        } catch (MalformedURLException exception) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Invalid URL", exception);
        }
        textures.setSkin(urlObject);
        profile.setTextures(textures);
        return profile;
    }```

im not sure if im allowed to send blocks of code like that I don't talk here much

[tired elbow]

So I don't need to put the entity in the onload but in the command to create holograms or what?

[violet blade]

Custom heads now rely on PlayerProfile, the client never receives the skin URL, it only gets the profile ID

[violet blade]

You mean the location? you can do it however you want, you can just do it as most do, spawn it at the player's location, or specify it like /spawncommand name <x> <y> <z>

[minor urchin]

so this means i should be using the uuid of the player i want the head from when i create the profile?

[tired elbow]

No bro, I mean loading the entity in the location that was set in the config

[violet blade]

iirc textdisplays are persistent by default so the location set in the config are more for manual tweaking via a plugin /reload command

[violet blade]

you can create a uuid for the head, and apply a texture with the correct format https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/profile/PlayerProfile.html

[tired elbow]

So if I create a void by creating a new entity and sending it its location, will it be created?

But that wasn't my question XD but thanks, I just wanted to know how to access a part of the path since I wanted to use: "*. location" but they told me that it wasn't possible and I shouldn't use *

[violet blade]

to be honest, i didn’t quite get your question 😅

[minor urchin]

idk how that is different than what i did 😭

[tired elbow]

XD

[violet blade]

the playerprofile expects a json like { "textures": { "SKIN": { "url": "http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/<textureId>" } } }

[tired elbow]

I'm going to give you a small example of config

hologram1:
Location:
X:16
Y:5
Z:62
Hologram2:
Location:
X:22
Y:12
Z:1

[violet blade]

something like this (?

[tired elbow]

Now my question is, how do I access the path location if I must first access the name and this name can vary and I cannot use a getPath

[minor urchin]

ahhh looks too confusing for me ive never worked with jsons but ty

[violet blade]

If the entity is in the world, like spawned, you should take the location from the entity itself

and for that well give it a way to identify that entity

[tired elbow]

Yes bro, but my hologram will not only have to access the location but also its properties.

[minor urchin]

i tried doing this but i dont have setproperty method for playerprofile

[tired elbow]

But how will you access your properties if the plugin can get confused and not search for your properties just because the path "your name" is different

[minor urchin]

I couldnt see it in the javadocs either

[violet blade]

sorry ur right, i got confused xd, this should work

[violet blade]

Attach a NamespacedKey to your textdisplay and use that for its id

then u can do something like

[tired elbow]

Thank You

[real crater]

Thx that helped alot

[chrome beacon]

Make sure you don't use the google play version

as it's quite old

[minor urchin]

ah ok all i needed to do was add the name to the player profile

oh it still doesn't show the head texture in the inventory

[cobalt drift]

Hi, how can I get the name of an ItemStack? So, if the itemstack has an ItemMeta, the display name should be used, otherwise the name of the material should be used. Not e.g. OAK_LOG but the name of the item the player also sees if that item is in his inventory yk?

[chrome beacon]

Ideally you'd use a translateable text component as the name is controlled by the client

The server only contains the en_us language file

[cobalt drift]

Sounds like that's what I searched for. Can you give me an example code or explain me how to do so?

[chrome beacon]

Where do you want to use the component

[cobalt drift]

I want to send the player the name of the item as a chat message

If you mean that

I want to code a caseopening and there should be a message like: "Hey, you won ITEM_NAME" in the chat if the player gets an item from a case

[chrome beacon]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/the-chat-component-api/

[cobalt drift]

That looks great, ty!

[trim quest]

Olivo is one of the gigachads of this server

[cobalt drift]

Is there a list at a website where all the item names for the TranslatableComponents are listed? On Spigot there is "(see here)" but no link is specified.
And how can I do it automatically? The plugin needs to be able to automatically translate an item name.

I dont think that Material#getName or similiar will work because at the spigot docs you sent me the name for the DIAMOND_SWORD is swordDiamond ...

[sullen marlin]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Material.html#getTranslationKey()

[cobalt drift]

Ah thats very helpful, thank you :)

[mortal hare]

are hashmaps really faster than binary search? i mean theoretically yes, but when it comes to reality does it really outperform binary search? i mean binary search uses like 20 operations for worst case of searching for a million of records which is not bad compared to something like hashmap which would allocate a new heap object, resizes the array, computes the hash, iterates through the bucket on worst case and then it reaches the destination

i feel like O(1) of hashmap is a big lie since it has more complexity in terms of implementations to lets say sorted binary search

i need benchmark

[chrome beacon]

Yeah HashMaps are faster

but for small amounts of data the difference is negligible

[chrome beacon]

assuming you have a decent hash function

[mortal hare]

but like worst case for binary search of billion records is like 30 operations, i feel like hashmap's implementation would need to go beyond that count to even properly work with all that overhead of heap allocation syscalls and computation of hash

i feel like hashmaps insertion is faster than binary search one, but when it comes to search binary search wins due to the overhead of the implementation

but cant really prove this

maybe im wrong but that's just my intuition

i feel like it cant be that all that memory overhead and calls would be cheaper than 30 operations

[chrome beacon]

Not sure what heap allocations you're talking about

[mortal hare]

in order to keep collisions as low as possible hashmap implementations keep the threshold value which when it reaches, hashmap resizes itself to minimize collisions

also allocations of bucket lists for hash collisions

[chrome beacon]

were you not talking about getting data

[mortal hare]

well you're right, but i think that all comes down to benchmarks

[chrome beacon]

Can recommend using JMH if you want to benchmark

[thorn isle]

are hashmaps really faster than binary search
lol

the thing about binary search is that it has very poor memory locality

[young knoll]

Technically all searching in programming is a binary search

Since they all run on binary

[thorn isle]

that is to say, sure, your indexing logic is cheaper, but every iteration of it is going to be a colossal cache miss

conversely on e.g. an open addressing hash map, you usually find the entry within a handful of collisions, typically within a single cache line, and even if not, the memory reads are coherent and easily prefetched by the cpu

you need to keep in mind that while processors have gotten many orders of magnitude faster over the years, memory is still relatively slow

that is not to say that binary search isn't viable; practically all "big data" mediums like relational databases still boil down to binary search and traversible tree structures

regarding the "heap allocation syscalls", that's just the tried old arraylist vs linkedlist argument that we've had for longer than most of us have been alive; each has its pros and cons

a flattened binary tree is going to have to be resized as well once it overgrows the capacity of the array allocated for it, no different from a hashmap; or if you're using indirection with pointers in between nodes, you get the same "heap allocation syscall" and poor memory locality cons as you do with linked lists

[young knoll]

What if I just allocate the array to be Integer.MAX_INT in size

[slender elbow]

caring about heap alloc syscalls in a jvm language

god forbid the vm reserves memory

[fresh timber]

how is Hypixel able to give mining fatigue without making arm swing animation ultra slow? I want to duplicate that

[chrome beacon]

Mining fatigue 255

[young knoll]

Aka negative mining fatigue

[fresh timber]

yeah that looks like this

[chrome beacon]

That does not look like 1.8

[fresh timber]

its 1.19.4

[chrome beacon]

Recommend you update and set the attribute instead

[fresh timber]

no server is newest but I support older versions

I use attributes for 1.21 players

but I want it to work for ppl on 1.19

and other versions

is there a way to do this?

[fresh timber]

I tried setting player's mining fatigue to -1 and -255 (separately) both animations seemed normal but players can break the blocks still

[grim ice]

?paste

[undone axle]

Looking to paste something? Try a code block or one of the following websites:

• https://pastes.dev/
• https://sourceb.in/
• https://mclo.gs/ (best for server logs)

i realize this isnt spigot but this is the only dev server im still in 🙃

anyone got an idea of why my jar is genuinely empty?

this is all thats in there lol

[drowsy helm]

does generating a regular non-shadow jar do the same?

[grim ice]

yeah

[drowsy helm]

very strange

my only idea is it is maybe in the wrong directory?

i thought so too

but its not

i thought i was trippin since i havent coded in a while 😭

[young knoll]

Try a blood sacrifice

Gradle likes those

[grim ice]

😭

boutta delete caches and pray it fixes itself

😭

[slender elbow]

you should use an up-to-date version of shadowjar, see https://gradleup.com/shadow/getting-started/

but your problem is most likely this

sourceSets.main {
    output.setResourcesDir(sourceSets.main.flatMap { it.java.classesDirectory })
}

and remove input.set(tasks.shadowJar.get().archiveFile) from the remapJar task, simply doing the from(tasks.shadowJar) is enough

also why are you using two different versions of the mixin library?

[grim ice]

okay i did most of you told me

as for the two different versions of the mixin library

frankly i have no idea

im using a template thats been recommended to me (which ive used a few years ago i believe)

(https://github.com/nea89o/Forge1.8.9Template)

in anycase this is what i have rn: https://pastes.dev/audNwWVzL5

Still the same thing

[mortal vortex]

Which is correct?

LootTable lootTable = drop.getLootTable().getLootTable()

or:

LootTable lootTable = Bukkit.getLootTable(drop.getLootTable().getLootTable().getKey());

or both literally the same?

shoot, forgot to mention drop is an instance of:

public class RandomDrop {
    
    public enum DropType {
        MATERIAL,
        LOOT_TABLE,
    }
    
    ...
    private LootTables lootTable;
    private List<ItemStack> items;
    
    // other constructors
    
    public RandomDrop(DropType type, LootTables lootTable) {
        this.type = type;
        this.lootTable = lootTable;
    }

    public LootTables getLootTable() {
        return lootTable;
    }

[slender elbow]

then I suspect the issue is the outdated shadow version, look up on the link I sent above, beware the plugin id is different as it changed maintainers

[grim ice]

No idea what I did but it works now

Tysm for the help

[mortal vortex]

is ur plugin name the same as the cmd name?

[rancid stream]

no

[mortal vortex]

or is the cmd name already in use?

[rancid stream]

it wont let me upload the image

[mortal vortex]

upload to imgur,

otherwise to send attachments here you'll need to verify with ?verify

[rancid stream]

?verify

[rancid stream]

https://imgur.com/undefined

https://imgur.com/a/aHFeSfs

[mortal vortex]

Yeah thats always the case

[rancid stream]

but its a differnt name

the plugin is caslled cookie bite and the command is cookie shop

[mortal vortex]

no i understand that

[rancid stream]

do you have a fix my 1st idea was because the old plugin woudlnt load on test server i used my terst plgin and it hasd the same comand but twhen igot it to work (the issue was that the plguin name had a space) but i removed it and it iss till there and i even made a new server

[mortal vortex]

Every plugin does this afaik

[rancid stream]

my old plugin that i was testing on didnt

and i made a command called test command and it does it with it as well

[mortal vortex]

well. thats because what ur looking up, qualifies the namespace.

If your plugin is called foobar and the command is foo, although these names are not the same, when you search /f.., youre going to see both foobar:foo and foo, because the name space satisifes the condition of the search parameter.

if instead your plugin was called fortnite, and the command was battleplass, typing /bat... will never show the namespace

[rancid stream]

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Thanks

But is there anyway for me not to have it

[rancid stream]

What if I did co0kie shop

[mortal vortex]

that would just be silly

u can remove the tab complete

[rancid stream]

?

Do what

What is the tab

[mortal vortex]

the key on ur keyboard.

like how you press it, it shows you the possiblities

[mortal vortex]

btw theres send-namespaced, in the spigot.yml?

whcich is localized to just ur server

[rancid stream]

Ok but will it effect the other ones

[mortal vortex]

Yeeah

otherwise use onTabComplete.

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/command/TabCompleter.html

[rancid stream]

So if I use on tab complete it won't remove anything else

[mortal vortex]

yeah

[rancid stream]

If it or rename the command doesn't work what can I do

[short pilot]

wait no

im getting it all wrong

it's called a blockstate

how do you modify blockstate of a button, specifically the attachment part, not the direction

[violet blade]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/block/data/type/Switch.html ?

[short pilot]

is this deprecated, or what is the difference between this and Attachable

oh i see it inherits attachable

    button.setAttachedFace(Switch.Face.FLOOR);
    block.setBlockData(button);

Like this?

[violet blade]

If it is deprecated it always points out to another method

Should work

[short pilot]

if (data instanceof Switch buttonData) {
   buttonData.setAttachedFace(FaceAttachable.AttachedFace.FLOOR);
}

[wide cipher]

How can i get an itemstack from a YAMLConfiguration. Ik there is getItemStack(String), but idk how to make that work in the .yml file, currently, i have material: STICK but that doesn't work

[thorn isle]

It's part of the configurationsrializable api, which is really a serialization and not a configuration api

[wide cipher]

so how would i be able to get an itemstack from a .yml file?

[thorn isle]

You can do cfg.set(key, itemstack) to serialize a stack, then save the config

[wide cipher]

ok

[frigid citrus]

Hi guys, has anyone worked with Bundles?

I need to make it so that you can put non-stackable items (potions) in it more than one.

I tried to catch the InventoryClickEvent, but when I try to put the second potion in the Bundle - the event does not work at all.

[grand flint]

I'm pretty sure it's hardcoded not sure if it can be changed

[thorn isle]

you probably can shove more items into the bundle with the api, but i'm guessing the client sees that the bundle is full and won't even send an inventory interaction packet when clicked

[frigid citrus]

You can put more than 1 potion in it via code.

But I can't figure out how to track clicks in a normal game

[thorn isle]

you could maybe jerryrig it to work by making the bundle always appear as empty to the player

[frigid citrus]

That's an idea, thanks, I'll try it.

[smoky anchor]

idk how feasable that is but
when player clicks the bundle change the max item stack size of the potion to 64 (or whatever you want)
give it a random UUID so it doesn't show stacked and so you can only ever remove just one
then when player takes an item out, just remove those components
That would be what I'd try

[thorn isle]

that should work i think

it's a bit finicky since you don't want to miss any instances of the player taking stuff out, but it should be doable

[frigid citrus]

thanks you, guys!
i'll try it

[rancid stream]

i renamed the plguin it self and now it works

[cerulean cave]

guys if anyone dont mind pleae can someone dev me a complex plugin for minecraft for free

please dm me

[winter jungle]

“Complex” and “free” are two words that don't go well together.

[pseudo hazel]

I mean sure, but then its gonna take a few years to create

[alpine solar]

4 years minimum

[potent crescent]

oh nah why would someone make for "free" complex plugin spending time for what

[grand flint]

maybe if its a good idea and u sell it or release it after

[trail cargo]

Is it not allowed to include a grass block design in part of a logo (for a plugin, server software, or even a Python program)?
Even if the design is hand-drawn, would using it still be considered not allowed?

[grand flint]

well depends what it looks like

if it looks like a grass block

probably not

if its grass

probably yes

where did u even get the not allowed from i didnt know that wasnt allowed

[slender elbow]

EULA & MUG

[cobalt drift]

Hi, is there a website where all the translation keys for the items are listed?

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/the-chat-component-api/#translatablecomponent
There is no link behind (see here) specified ...

[thorn isle]

you can get it from the material

[cobalt drift]

I use api version 1.18 ... the method doesn't exist there ...

[chrome beacon]

You can open the default language file and take a look

[quaint mantle]

Try using adventure library: https://docs.advntr.dev/localization.html

[cobalt drift]

Not available for spigot ig

[chrome beacon]

You can use adventure on Spigot

however that does not solve the problem

you still need the translation key

[cobalt drift]

Do you think the paper server code has a map where all the translation keys and their corresponding material type is listed, so I can copy paste it for my plugin?

[quaint mantle]

Loop through all materials and get their namespaces and library will make a translation 🗿

[chrome beacon]

Open the language file

[thorn isle]

update to a version that isn't dead

or downgrade to 1.8 which regrettably isn't dead yet

[daring light]

Hello sir, I would love to work and spend time for you for free, sounds like a deal of a lifetime. I'm honored and I hope you choose me among all the people lined up to help you

[cobalt drift]

Where is the language file located?

[chrome beacon]

assets/minecraft/lang

[cobalt drift]

Minecraft client or server?

[chrome beacon]

The server comes with only the en_us language file

I don't remember if it contains all keys or not

[cobalt drift]

Do you know where this file is on linux?

I installed mc launcher in /opt

[chrome beacon]

looks like all of them

[cobalt drift]

Ok then Ill look for the server one

[chrome beacon]

No idea I use prism

[cobalt drift]

ah ok

Where is the en_us file located?

searched for it but no results

[violet blade]

inside the .jar file

[chrome beacon]

^

[cobalt drift]

Ah ok

And how can I open the jar? Will decompiler work?

[chrome beacon]

jars are effectively just zip files

you can open them with your program of choice

[cobalt drift]

ah ok

and where exactly in the jar?

[chrome beacon]

.

[young knoll]

https://mcasset.cloud/1.21.8/assets/minecraft/lang/en_us.json

[chrome beacon]

Not 1.18.2 smh

(you can switch version though)

[young knoll]

Mhm

[cobalt drift]

thats very helpful

So and now the only way I can implement it for my 1.18 plugin, is to put it all into a map?

Maybe with AI it will go faster but this will be very annoying

[young knoll]

I mean it’s probably doable with NMS

[chrome beacon]

You can just read it as a map using the config api

Remember that yaml is a superset of json, all json is valid yaml

[cobalt drift]

thats a great idea

[chrome beacon]

or yeah use nms which already handles the names and such

[young knoll]

Actually I wonder how accurate just doing “item.” + Material#getKey()#getKey() + “.name” would be

[cobalt drift]

Really?

[grand flint]

what if instead of nms we just rewrite the entire minecraft server

from scratch with nothing in it

[chrome beacon]

would probably be pretty accurate

[cobalt drift]

i think thats a good idea 👍

[young knoll]

Actually you’d have to do either block.minecraft.<key> or item.minecraft.<key> depending on Material.isBlock

[grand flint]

i wish there was a project dedicated to that

could call it mine something

maybe like minestorm

[cobalt drift]

Like this?

TranslatableComponent c = new TranslatableComponent(Material.isBlock() ? ("block.minecraft." + Material.getKey().getKey()) : ("item.minecraft." + Material.getKey().getKey()));

[young knoll]

Yeah that should work

[cobalt drift]

Great, thank yall

[sly topaz]

is there a reason you couldn't use Material::getTranslationKey?

[minor urchin]

is there a way to make a mob with no AI to constantly be looking at a player?

can i just do mob.getEyeLocation().setDirection()

[cobalt drift]

I am not using the latest api version

[cobalt drift]

Try and see i would say, I think it could work, but I am not sure

[minor urchin]

ah ok im just not sure if it actually sets the mobs direction or the direction of the location itself

[sly topaz]

that method has been there for a while tho

what version are you on?

[cobalt drift]

Looking at the method names I would assume it will do what you want

[sly topaz]

it sets the location of the direction, since it returns a clone

[cobalt drift]

1.18 very old

[minor urchin]

thanks do you know if theres another way to set direction with a vector

[sly topaz]

you'd have to teleport them to that location

or if you're using internals, you could use the lookAt methods

[minor urchin]

ok so i would just get the mob location not the eye location and tp him to it

[sly topaz]

yes

actually, I didn't realize that you said no AI. I am unsure whether you can make them look at anything

[minor urchin]

ok its an enderman i dont want moving so i guess ill just setAware to false

[fresh timber]

So I am using a POV/camera feature for my server in 1.21.8 where I spawn a new armor stand then set the player's camera packet with protocol lib to the armor stand (I hide the armor stand after and use invisibility to hide player's arms)

I have a few questions

• Is there any better system for this or is this the right way to do it with armor stands?
• If the player is far away and doesn't have the chunk where the camera is loaded, the camera won't work at all. Should I just teleport the player over there and then back or is there a better way for this too?

[thorn isle]

if you make the player spectate the armor stand, you probably shouldn't hide it (i assume by hide you mean the Player::hide/showEntity api, which will destroy the entity on the client side and break spectator mode)

i'm not sure if the client will behave well when spectating an entity out of its tracking/chunk loading range

you can try it, but i suspect that once you teleport the player back, the chunks will de-render and things will break

something you could try instead of that is to send the set_center packet which sets the chunk loading center position, and set it to where the camera is, then send the chunk, and then try spectating

[thorn isle]

iirc setaware false will also disable the look/movement/jump controllers on the entity, but in either case you can teleport the entity to make it face the direction you want; if you want them to turn smoothly, have a 1-tick scheduler task that'll turn them by n degrees towards their looking-at-target every tick

[tender shard]

wait on which version are you?

[slender elbow]

"1.18 very old"

[cerulean cave]

anyone pelase can anyone please dev a complex minecraft plugin for free

[quaint mantle]

Nah

[grand flint]

lowkey

nobody is doing that request

its not even something

i could post or /sell

[quaint mantle]

Better off learning java than finding someone that would do it for free

[grand flint]

just do it with mythic lowkey

would be easy

crucible + mythicmobs

u only need to buy crucible

free mm will do

[coarse hamlet]

I am currently trying to animate a daytime transition per player. But apparently, with setPlayerTime(long time, boolean relative) ( https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#setPlayerTime(long,boolean) ) that looks really wonky. I found this forum post where they found the same thing: "I just tried it but the thing is: Somehow the world (global) time is able to change smoothly but the player time isn't. I don't really get why...". (filled, but never really solved, link: https://bukkit.org/threads/change-player-time-smoothly.468063/ ). Does someone know a viable solution?

[chrome beacon]

Did you set relative to true?

[coarse hamlet]

no..

I did now, it still updates about once a second if i had to guess, when it should be every tick

[thorn isle]

I tried this back in I think 1.12 and it worked fine

[daring nexus]

this guy is leaking plugins

how to report?

@tender forge

[alpine solar]

Send link in dms

I would like to laugh at this user

[daring nexus]

he is Indian

his english is crazy

[alpine solar]

Jus send the link

I'm pretty bored

[daring nexus]

done

[alpine solar]

btw

they dont have tos or pp

should have been a big red flag it self

[coarse hamlet]

Do you happen to have the code lying around somewhere for me to have a look at it? 👉 👈

[alpine solar]

Ah yes

Taking inspiration 😭

[coarse hamlet]

[chrome beacon]

A true classic

[strong sable]

Why is my plugin jar file 17.8mb in size? I included net.dv8tion.jda.api as a dependency, is there a way to reduce the final plugin size?

[wet breach]

don't shade jda

[thorn isle]

Use the spigot library loader for applicable dependencies, minimize anything you have to shade in

[low thorn]

hey so how do i make a Equippable item not Equippable? specifically need it to make a playerr head not equippable

(i see that there is hasEquippable, setEquippable and getEquippable, i dont see how to unset it)

[chrome beacon]

Tried setEquippable null

[low thorn]

as far as i researched that would set the component to its default value

[chrome beacon]

worth giving a try

[violet blade]

too bad spigot doesnt have a PlayerArmorChangeEvent

[young knoll]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/armorequipevent-for-spigot-api.545188/

[violet blade]

maybe try making the equipable slot the main hand

at least that works when using /give and equippable={slot:mainhand}

[grand flint]

what

[violet blade]

u cant se the slot to https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/EquipmentSlot.html#HAND

[grand flint]

nice

[violet blade]

yeah that did it

[old flicker]

Q: I have a registration portal for my community server that allows people to verify their emails with a university, then bind it to a discord profile using a bot. The bot allows users to enter their MC usernames into the thing. I have used rcon but I have security and reliability concerns for the method. I was wondering how DiscordSRV does it with the bridge to my discord (console, and server chat) and if I can set something similar up. Do bear in mind that the otp registration system and minecraft server are completly different servers on different IPs.

Im pretty sure the best way to achieve it is through my discord bot, and then somehow have a plugin listen for requests and then execute the command that I need.

Any ideas? maybe a good library to look into?

[sullen marlin]

discordsrv uses JDA

[old flicker]

I think the best approach is to create a remote database that I can connect to for the OTP system and the ranking system as right now I am managing 2: one on the mc server with rcon, and one on the otp server. Trying to sync them together can be messy.

[chrome beacon]

The server can just run a bot with JDA

[old flicker]

Is that able to hook into my existing account bot hosted elsewhere?

[short pilot]

when i try to get the direction of a player, do i have to manually round it if i want a flat cardinal direction like N E S W or is there any existing function to get that

(currently getting direction as a vector)

player.getLocation().getDirection();

[chrome beacon]

Not really

[old flicker]

I think a centralized database is my best bet then, thank you!

[violet blade]

ig you can do it manually like this

[hard laurel]

somone help my ip got banned from spigot for download so many plugins

[violet blade]

or this... more organic

[hard laurel]

can you download some plugins for me

nvm

[weak wasp]

How many plugins do you have to download to get your IP banned?

[hard laurel]

10

[hard laurel]

really fast xd or like 20

[weak wasp]

Hmm that doesn't seem like much

[lime mauve]

Sneaky golem in the pocket

[weak wasp]

the pocket

[young knoll]

Their IP wasn’t “banned” they were just rate limited

[wet breach]

Best way would be to use a DB. Then plugin on server checks db. This avoids having to code direct communication with the mc server and worrying about security

[wooden bay]

I remember I made kind of like my own whitelist system for something like this

Used a db to store everything, on connect it checks if that user exists in a db if no deny login

hey guys i have a question how i can update my minecraft spigot version from 1.21.5 to 1.21.8 i have already the Spigot java version 1.21.8 downloaded but how i upload it ? thanks for help

[young knoll]

Just replace the jar file

[marsh arch]

okay ty

is it the file with spigot.yml

[faint prawn]

Hi, I'm trying to create an effect similar to Hypixel where an armor stand holds an arrow item at a 45-degree angle, with two horizontal particle lines - one above and one below the arrow the frist screenshort was my one and 2nd screenshort from hypixel that how i want

Current issue:
• I have an armor stand holding an arrow with RightArmPose: [-90f, 0f, 45f] (which makes the arrow diagonal)
• I'm spawning red particle lines, but they appear vertically/diagonally instead of horizontally
• I want the particle lines to be perfectly horizontal, parallel to the ground, regardless of the arrow's rotation

[marsh arch]

ah i found it thanks men 🙂

[marsh arch]

if i replace the jar file the server host from me is doing the version 1.21.5 and ignore the 1.21.8 file how i can change this ?

[sullen marlin]

Probably a setting on your server host

[faint prawn]

can you help me ?

[faint prawn]

.

[mortal vortex]

thats a bot account.

they cant respond.

[faint prawn]

what?

what mean by bot account

this all my real account

[mortal vortex]

No, them.

[faint prawn]

i verify

[mortal vortex]

The person you responded to.

[faint prawn]

0o

srry

i think you saying me

[mortal vortex]

nah bro ur good

[faint prawn]

if anyone can help then please and i was in spigot 1.8.8

[mortal vortex]

Well show your code.

• I want the particle lines to be perfectly horizontal, parallel to the ground, regardless of the arrow's rotation
This should already be the case if you're creating the particles based on constant logic, i.e, not influenced by the rotation of the item frame.

By code i mean, what you have right now which gave you the result seen in the first screnshot @faint prawn

[marsh arch]

anyone know how i can change my host server from host-unlimited the spigon version 1.21.5 to 1.21.8

[mortal vortex]

mfer is this #help-server ?

[violet blade]

send the math or code you are using for the particles, might help others understand your problem

[faint prawn]

there is code

[misty ingot]

how do people make really complex particle effects? like how do you do that much math? is it just a lot of trial and error and doing it like incrementally? or are there tools for this?

[grand flint]

there are some generators i seen

most are probably just trial and error probs

[faint prawn]

me?

[violet blade]

i was about to say why are you using nms then realized its 1.8 😭

[misty ingot]

wat?

[misty ingot]

cuz like ive seen some crazy stuff and if someone were to think of all that math in their head itd prolly explode

[wet breach]

vector/graph math and some other formulas

its not like they are doing the math manually although you could do so

[misty ingot]

like on hypixel skyblock they have a boss which creates this big particle cube around itself iirc

i could think of how youd make basic 2d stuff, everyone learns that in school but its the 3d aspect of it that really confuses me

[violet blade]

this effect?

[wet breach]

combine multiple 2d and you get 3d

if that helps

basically just need to learn, triangles, cirlces, and squares and you should be good to do most anything

[misty ingot]

yeah that makes sense obviously but like
its just a lot harder to imagine as soon as you add the third dimension ykwim

[wet breach]

yeah not everyone is spatially inclined

[misty ingot]

i can picture a sin function but idk how itd be if i multiplied it with another one in the z axis
if that makes sense

[violet blade]

yeah, its takes a lot of study and testing

[wet breach]

and that is what testing is for

[violet blade]

its like those that makes animated things with chars

[wet breach]

also you should test at the extremes sometimes too 🙂

[violet blade]

now how does someone even do that one

[violet blade]

map the alphabet in some grids and then make a method to replace the 1s from the grid into a particle and make the chars then another method to rearange that into words

[thorn isle]

i'd probably just spawn particles from a java2d graphics canvas after drawing text on it

though we have text displays now so it doesn't really make much sense to do this with particles

[wooden bay]

Text displays make that so much easier

[violet blade]

clever, but yeah, its not to replace text displays, its just to test all the things u can do with particles

[elder leaf]

ï have JDA in library

[remote swallow]

1st we are spigot not paper, also that probably isnt shading it. Use a build system like maven or gradle

[elder leaf]

im using spigot api

[remote swallow]

still running paper server

[elder leaf]

its test server so i can change

ok now have spigot so how can fix?

[remote swallow]

figure out how to shade with intellijs build system or use a more conventional build system like maven or gradle

[elder leaf]

still dont work

[remote swallow]

did you add the respective shade/shadow plugin?

[elder leaf]

ye

[sly topaz]

what does your build script look like

Also there's no way you got spigot that fast lol, BuildTools takes a hot second to build

[elder leaf]

wait maybe have problem

java version "1.8.0_461"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_461-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.461-b11, mixed mode

[sly topaz]

I guess you could've had a build lying around

[sly topaz]

latest version requires java 21

[visual vapor]

Hello i need help my plugin doesnt work it like half works but theres a proplem that ruins it

[kind hatch]

What’s the error?

[visual vapor]

So

Do you know cubicmetre

[kind hatch]

The measurement?

[visual vapor]

No like the redstoner

I tried to make a plugin that shoots a nuke out of tnt rings but when the tnt rings spread out by spreading out i mean the rings start as small and become big with velocity but when the tnt is falling down then the tnt snaps back to the original place they spawned in and lose alot of velocity and then it repeats but the first ring in the order doesnt

Lemme show the code rq

Wat no

Shadow il dm u

[visual vapor]

Check dms

[thorn isle]

Consider using some punctuation, I have no idea what you're saying

[cerulean cave]

if someone can generate me a complex minecraft plugin i will give them vps

[lime mauve]

What is vps

[smoky anchor]

When will you get the hint

[violet blade]

Vbucks /s

[glossy laurel]

can someone dev complex plugin for me? I will make the dev pay me 100$ 🥺

[rotund ravine]

Sure /s

Can u throw in an oracle free tier vps that you also have access to?

[glossy laurel]

idk dude, are you that good of a dev?

[cobalt drift]

Hi, I have just tried it rn and it doesn't work. The problem is that Material#getKey#getKey returns diamond_sword as an example but that doesn't work. The translation key for the diamond sword is swordDiamond ...
Do you have another solution?

[mortal vortex]

This is your 3rd time. Last time you said you already found a developer for free dawg.

[thorn isle]

he downgraded "write me" to "generate me"

[mortal vortex]

he wants vibe coders clearly.

[thorn isle]

i know a professional "chatgpt plugin maker" but he charges 25-50usd per plugin

i believe he was bosnian

[potent crescent]

He might have meant me. He talked to me about his idea and tried to win my sympathy. I don’t know if the story he told me was true or not honestly, I don’t believe him, because it sounded almost impossible. Anyway, I agreed but planned to make a smaller version of his plugin idea for him. However, when I joined his server, he literally didn’t have any plugins at all, just a normal world. So I decided to change my mind.

[mortal vortex]

This is what happened when he asked me to join his discord 😭😭😭

[mortal vortex]

Yeah he’s looking for a whole setup bruh especially for free.

[potent crescent]

Did he tell you his brother story?

idk if its real or not

[mortal vortex]

😭 dm me the full story.

[potent crescent]

lol

[mortal vortex]

Screenshot even

[potent crescent]

hhhhahahhaa Because of his brother's story, I sympathized with him. Do you think he is honest?

[mortal vortex]

I don’t know the story bro send me it

[potent crescent]

ahaa

[mortal vortex]

😭😭😭yup fake

His brother offed himself so you could make him a Minecraft plugin.

[potent crescent]

hahahaha

I won't believe him or disbelieve him at the same time, but I won't waste my time on someone who hasn't setup their server yet and wants a "complex plugin for free."

[grand flint]

bro 😂 😭

[potent crescent]

did he tells you? hahah

[grand flint]

nah but he sent me the entire thing he wants too

[potent crescent]

😂😂

[mortal vortex]

Bro he’s Indian

India Turkey Brothers 😎😎😎

You have to do it

[potent crescent]

did he say that? hahahah

[grand flint]

sybau

[cobalt drift]

++ :D

(if anyone can help, feel free - I just replied to him for the context)

[low thorn]

yeah, use Material#getTranslationKey

[chrome beacon]

They're on 1.18

where it doesn't exist

[low thorn]

o

[chrome beacon]

might just be worth to call the nms equivalent of that method then

[low thorn]

translation keys should just be item.minecraft. + Material#name.toLowerCase?

i have done that before when .getTranslationKey didnt exist, that seemed to work

[chrome beacon]

it's not as they mentioned

[low thorn]

they mentioned item. + Material#getKey#geyKey which would be invalid as lang entries consist namespace aswell

[chrome beacon]

actually no you seem to be right

Where did you get swordDiamond being the key from? @cobalt drift

I just double checked it and it's item.minecraft.diamond_sword

[cobalt drift]

Ill try it again tomorrow

But I dont think that this will work, as Material.DIAMOND_SWORD.name().toLowerCase() will return diamond_sword ig and I think that doesnt work

[cobalt drift]

How could I do this?

Never worked with NMS tbh and I was happy with that haha

[grand flint]

why would it return diamond_sword

u arent setting the material id to lower case

ur setting its name

[slender elbow]

name is the enum name, which is DIAMOND_SWORD

the key approach will work

"item.minecraft." + material.getKey().getKey()

[rotund ravine]

Unless he’s using legacy, wouldn’t that return smth weird

[slender elbow]

or block or whatever

he's using 1.18

[rotund ravine]

Ew

Not even better

[slender elbow]

it would just return DIAMOND_SWORD

[cobalt drift]

Already tried it

Ill try some more things tomorrow

[chrome beacon]

It should work just fine

if you want to use nms you can get the translation key from the nms itemstack

[cobalt drift]

Maybe its also due to bad code

[cobalt drift]

How could I do that? Any code example?

Never used nms

[chrome beacon]

use that as your last option

[cobalt drift]

yep

I also dont want to use it

[sly topaz]

why

you are stuck on 1.18, so using internals shouldn't be much of an issue

you can just mark them with comments in case you want to update it in the future to a version which has the translation key method

[cobalt drift]

You cant use NMS across multiple version iirc

[sly topaz]

but you are stuck in a single version so why does that matter

[cobalt drift]

No I am not, its not for my own server

It should become a public server

[chrome beacon]

what versions are you targeting

[cobalt drift]

Id never use 1.18 private server

[cobalt drift]

1.18-1.21.8 so newest

[chrome beacon]

as the server jar?

I'm not talking via version stuff

[sly topaz]

is there a reason you couldn't just use 1.21.8 + viaversion/viabackwards?

[cobalt drift]

What you mean? The plugin will be public and server admins should be able to use it for their servers if theyre running 1.18-1.21.8

[chrome beacon]

so it's a public plugin

[cobalt drift]

Yep exactly

[chrome beacon]

you made it sound like you're making it for a specific server

[cobalt drift]

I think I should say that directly next time haha

[sly topaz]

I don't get why you would support anything other than latest and maybe the previous version given ViaVersion exists but alas

just use reflection to get the translation key

[cobalt drift]

Looking at bStats there are still a lot of servers running 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20

[cobalt drift]

How can I do so?

I know how reflection works

But what field of which class do I need to use reflection on?

[sly topaz]

1.18 and and 1.19 aren't even listed in there, meaning they fall into Other (so less than 2.7%)

and 1.20.4 + 1.20.1 make up 9.4% which is somewhat significant, but in the end less than 10% combined

[sly topaz]

is this just for items or blocks too?

[cobalt drift]

Hmm but supporting 1.18 is not a big deal. Had no problems since now. I think thats the only one as the plugin is almost finished

[cobalt drift]

For blocks too I think

[chrome beacon]

What's the usecase?

[cobalt drift]

Or can you translate a Material.GRASS_BLOCK?

[cobalt drift]

I am coding CaseOpening and if someone draws an item without specified display name he will get a message like
You have won {item}
And the name should be displayed in the players language

[chrome beacon]

Then it's just items

Use reflection on the ItemStack class if that's what you want to do

[cobalt drift]

But you can also add blocks to the case

[chrome beacon]

(Nms ItemStack)

[cobalt drift]

You have to hold an item in your hand and execute a command to add it to a case. And you can also have a grass block in your hand

idk how spigot handles this

[chrome beacon]

It's still an item stack

[cobalt drift]

ah thats great

[cobalt drift]

do you know a good tutorial how to use nms

never worked with it

[sly topaz]

what is

[chrome beacon]

Don't have one I can recommend rn

[sly topaz]

1.8.8 is nowhere near as prevalent as it used to be, it is very slowly dying even if we don't want to admit it

Hypixel retains 90% of the 1.8.8 players

[chrome beacon]

1.8 is a very loud minority

[cobalt drift]

alr i will just use google then :)

thank yall for your help

[quaint mantle]

Minecraft: 29.99$
Roblox: free

It's also bunch of kids leaving their systems on to farm in afk games

[echo basalt]

in my experience if you're doing highly custom shit the ideal version is 1.21.5

maybe even 1.21.4 if you don't care about the hide whatever component that much

we updated to hide durability bars

1.21.6+ ruined custom menus

[sly topaz]

not related to this but while you're here Illusion, do you have your reimplementation of the Slot stuff in a repository or somewhere I can access

[echo basalt]

what slot stuff

My menu shit? I did it all with nms

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

a useful little utility I recently picked up and use all the time is what I call Holders

not just a holder class but an entire system

https://gist.github.com/IllusionTheDev/e3eb5438f2f40eafe540f7185dec3af1

this should maybe be a full repo at some point

[sly topaz]

you should lol, that's like 10 classes

[young knoll]

What did 1.21.6 change

[mortal vortex]

The number .5 to .6 probably

[echo basalt]

rendering orders for custom UIs and alike

[left jay]

are there any repositories out there that ports over some of paper's events and methods to spigot?

[violet blade]

depends on what exactly do you want

[left jay]

mainly player rotations and the jump event

[misty ingot]

have you tried just using paper?

[left jay]

im tryina work around that (._.)

or at least thats my final option

[sly topaz]

what do you mean by player rotations?

also, for jump you can just use the PlayerInputEvent

[left jay]

like i wanna set how the player looks specifically without teleporting them in place

also ooooo thank you for the event

[sly topaz]

so the lookAt methods. Sadly, spigot doesn't expose those

you can just use internals for it if it comes down to that

I guess you cold also use the command, a bit jank but it works

[left jay]

you can call commands inside of plugins directly?

[sly topaz]

yes, with Bukkit::dispatchCommand or Player::performCommand

[left jay]

neato dorito, thanks a bunch

[zealous scroll]

                Particle.FIREWORK.builder()
                        .location(center)
                        .extra(0)
                        .offset(1, 0, 1)
//                        .data(new Particle.DustOptions(color, 1f))
                        .receivers(60)
                        .spawn();

why is a 1 block offset not actually 1 radius

[rotund ravine]

I mean it’s 1 around?

[misty ingot]

i was gonna say something but no, that suddenly makes complete sense

[torn shuttle]

hm is it a problem to sleep an async thread

probably fine just for debugging right

I just want to put this at a human speed

[thorn isle]

a bukkit scheduler async thread? it's fine, bukkit doesn't care specifically

it'll just spawn more threads if its threadpool runs out

[misty ingot]

i want a thread spawn egg

nvm that makes no sense

[mighty wind]

is there a fix to buiild tools not running on my pc
im on windows 10
i run it on cli and on gui and it says cant run on my pc

[austere cove]

can you be more specific

[mighty wind]

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

i downlaod from here

i downloaded .exe and .jar

tried both

then i get a windows popup "this app cant run on your pc"

[slender elbow]

does it not say why?

you might need to disable SmartScreen or whatever that's called, or enable running non-store applications

inb4 school computer

[chrome beacon]

That popup only happens on the exe version? Also you can click read more or whatever and then click run anyway

[dry hazel]

inb4 it's a windows on arm laptop

[mighty wind]

jar and exe

[mighty wind]

i do this when starting the exe

[mighty wind]

nah i ran older versions of buildtools fine

[mighty wind]

nop

[smoky anchor]

This looks like a "your PC problem"
Just google for some possible solutions
I read "disable all chrome extensions", "repair windows" and a nuclear "reinstall windows"

[strong sable]

like how?
im using:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.dv8tion</groupId>
<artifactId>JDA</artifactId>
<version>5.0.0</version>
</dependency>

[thorn isle]

set the scope to provided

[chrome beacon]

and then provide it through the library loader or another tool that can get it for you during runtime

[chrome beacon]

and then what happens

also what popup are you getting on the jar

[mighty wind]

it loads normal

[chrome beacon]

So it works fine

[mighty wind]

the jar is the same as the exe, when i run buildtools

it says this cant run on your pc

its like a smartscreen popup

[chrome beacon]

Could you send me an image in DMs

[mighty wind]

ok

[austere cove]

watch it be a warning for not being signed

[chrome beacon]

I told them how to bypass that

and they said they did 🤷‍♂️

[chrome beacon]

I'm curious if this is correct

[mighty wind]

idk im going to sleep i havent slept

if i did smth stupid like that then mb

[jagged thicket]

someone had a snapdragon laptop in my uni

it looked just like a mac

looked p good

[chrome beacon]

It was just a corrupt portable git install

[short pilot]

if (healthAfterDamage < 1.0) {
            event.setDamage(0.0);
            
            Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(DeadRinger.getInstance(), () -> {
                if (player.isOnline()) {
                    player.setHealth(1.0);
                }
            }, 1L);
        }

will this still allow the player to look like they took damage while really not taking any?

or will damage of 0.0 not even tick

[outer elk]

i’ve asked this question in a bunch of dev communities and now want to ask here too:

even with the best hardware for a single minecraft server, people keep saying that handling more than around 300 players at the same time will almost always cause performance issues.

is there really no way around this, except using folia?

would appreciate any tips or ideas

[ivory sleet]

Even folia might struggle if said players are all in the same area i believe

[outer elk]

well i wonder ur suggestions 1m writing

[ivory sleet]

I do know multipaper is a thing not sure how stable it is

Theoretically you could scale to thousands of players

Ofc you’re no longer using a single server behind the scenes but yea thats the compromise

[outer elk]

I'm planning to open a large Skyblock server with over 300 players.
I want players’ items, inventories, skills, levels, money, and other stats to stay consistent even if they’re on different servers — I already know how to handle that part.

However, I don’t have the time or expertise to develop my own custom Skyblock island system. So, I thought about this idea:

• Having one dedicated server for Skyblock islands,
• And separate servers for dungeons and lobbies.

This way, I wouldn’t need to write my own Skyblock plugin.
My question is:

• Is it possible to transfer Skyblock plugin commands to the proxy server?
• And is there a way to control and avoid creating multiple islands accidentally?

I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions on how to manage this setup.

[drowsy helm]

If you plan on having that many players you should have the money to make your own skyblock plugin

Big player count = monetary investments

[outer elk]

i don't think i can make a plugin that is as optimized as the plugins on the market

[drowsy helm]

But to answer your question, no you cant transfer commands to a proxy, it’s a completely different environment.

And if the plugin is coded well it should handle that for you

[outer elk]

can it do something with plugin-messaging-channel?

one plugin has its own API

[wet breach]

it is possible

[thorn isle]

Folia should fit perfectly for skyblock since players are always spread out into separate regions

[wet breach]

Folia would work, but it still suffers in some areas

[thorn isle]

And making any given plugin work on folia is much easier than outright sharding your server across like 20 backends

[outer elk]

well ty guys

[wet breach]

sharding isn't all that difficult either

in fact sharding is probably the best in regards to skyblock

[thorn isle]

There are still a lot of things to account for

[wet breach]

you can easily have like 10-20 shards per instance

[thorn isle]

E.g. island visitation teleports

[wet breach]

yeah, not hard though and given with the latest updates where mojang made it native to move client connections

even more easier

really what drags down performance when it comes to a lot of players is one redundancy and two randomness when it comes to tick events

you need to reduce the random tick events to be well less random and more orderly

so for example, remove all the ticks in regards to plants/crops growing. And set those to predictable times

[thorn isle]

The point is that folia is much easier because it abstracts away all of that cross server state

The only changes you need to make are to associate scheduler tasks with locations or entities

[wet breach]

folia's main thing is threading. While more threads does help, it only does so to a certain degree.

you need more application instances, which is why sharding would probably outperform here.

[thorn isle]

The main reason we do sharding in minecraft is to thread the main game loop

[wet breach]

I never heard of that

I suppose you could do that, but I used sharding because there is only so much a single application instance can feasibly do

[thorn isle]

What other resource do you run out of? Are you going to need more than 128gb of memory?

[wet breach]

well GC becomes an issue as well as some other kinds of logic like the heap memory size. Larger doesn't always mean better here. Application instances are more guaranteed to occupy a single core then some thread from an application is. Also, its a bit more performant in regards to spreading out the resources/using them.

[thorn isle]

Gc is a valid point but with zgc it isn't really an issue

[wet breach]

you can't exactly evenly spread out resources between threads or hard set the resources they can use. You can only really just control the number of them and hope they proportionally use resources lol.
