[thorn isle]

If anything, adding more instances just adds more overhead because the separate application instances can't share resources

[wet breach]

they actually can

you can use memory mapping to do this

[thorn isle]

Not without making major changes to the jvm

[wet breach]

nope its native

[thorn isle]

You're approaching the "rewrite the server" territory

[wet breach]

Well, technically if you want more then 300 players while still maintaining performance you will indeed need to rewrite some or a good portion

and that has always been the case really

I said it was possible, just didn't caveat it yet with the probably going to take some work though part lol

As I have always said, you can't expect to get free enterprise software

although there is some exceptions like apache and mysql lmao

[thorn isle]

what were we even talking about

i just read sharding

[wet breach]

They wanted to get 300 players on a single server

and then a bit later they said they are doing skyblock

then from there, it was about folia and then sharding and then caveats of the two I guess

[thorn isle]

having a lobby and the dungeons on separate instances has many advantages, so that sounds about right

for the skyblock backend, i'd probably use folia for it

if worse comes to worst it won't be too late to switch it out for sharding if you eventually do need it

if you play your cards right, the dungeons instance not having the skyblock commands can be an advantage; most of those commands probably shouldn't be usable in a dungeon anyway

a lobby instance, especially for a cracked server, is useful as an auth sandbox

[ivory sleet]

Folia or if u got competent devs maybe multipaper

[thorn isle]

and of course as a place to toss players when a backend is undergoing a restart

[misty ingot]

i work for a server with a few hundred ccu, we use folia and its going pretty great

we did have to make some changes to the original software

but it works

i wonder what hypixel uses

[sullen canyon]

hygot

[wet breach]

modified 1.7

[misty ingot]

they are on 1.7?

i thought they were on 1.8

they should really work on maybe updating
theres so much cool stuff in 1.21 and i wonder what those guys could do with that

[worldly ingot]

We support the 1.8 protocol, but Hygot is based on the 1.7 codebase, yes

Everything in modern versions has to be implemented manually by us though. We're so far derived from vanilla or Spigot

So we implement what we need

[misty ingot]

interesting

[slender elbow]

"hygot" 💀

[worldly ingot]

We've got a lot of fun names that I can't reveal cause they're not public lol

Some of them are pretty good

[slender elbow]

i don't believe you

i bet they are all terrible

but you can't prove me wrong

[grim ice]

LOL

[worldly ingot]

We have a housing furniture store in-game called Hykea

[slender elbow]

okay that one's pretty good

[misty ingot]

well thats one way to do it...

[slender elbow]

he could accept my application and then tell me about 'em

run

[misty ingot]

i dont even understand how hypixel is still alive
i get that it gets tens of thousands of players but aren't the costs like millions of dollars?

[slender elbow]

millions of dollars in what timespan?

[misty ingot]

every year

[eternal night]

a night

[misty ingot]

probably

just thinking of professional developers and server costs

[grim ice]

almost every player buys a rank

I'd say like 80% of players have ranks

[misty ingot]

i have noticed that hypixel has a pretty high conversion rate

[grim ice]

alao

[misty ingot]

i wouldnt say 80% tho

[grim ice]

Skyblock makes a lot of money

[misty ingot]

it does
but its dying from what ive seen

(unfortunately)

[grim ice]

yeah it's been dead for a while

fortunately*

it's a mid game

[misty ingot]

i like it 🙁

i have like 1k hours in sb

but still like how much could it possibly be making
thats what confuses me

either the average hypixel player is a big spender

or their costs are way lower than i think

[thorn isle]

whales

[slender elbow]

i mean, it's not like they have thousands of developers

they have choco

and that's all

[wet breach]

choco is all they need

[slender elbow]

yet he charges millions a year

[worldly ingot]

I'm an expensive bitch

Hello,
I need help with NMS implementation. I dont know where I should start to get it implemented into my plugin. I know I need to get a Server JAR but idk how. I also dont know how to implement it then into my plugin.
Can someone help me?

Sorry.

[cobalt drift]

Now, I downloaded the BuildTools and built the JAR with that command:
java -jar BuildTools.jar --rev 1.18 -remapped
What's next? How can I include the Server JAR into my plugin so I can use NMS?

}

That one works but the NMS code is still obfuscated. What do I have to change? I provided the -remapped argument for the BuildTools

[slender elbow]

for gradle there is a gradle plugin you need to use

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

huh, it does not show the dep declaration

cool

anyway, i think you need to use the spigot-remapped artifact instead of just spigot

idk

[rotund ravine]

Tbh, if it’s too much of a chore just use paper for it. They got plenty of documentation for gradle

[cobalt drift]

Is this action correct?
RemapTask.Action.MOJANG_TO_SPIGOT
I dont want to get charged by Mojang haha

[slender elbow]

the readme says that's the default

[cobalt drift]

Yeah but is this the good one I need?

Because I heard that Mojang also gives non obfuscated code but it's not allowed to publish work with that

[slender elbow]

that is not entirely correct, but that is the correct setting yes

[sly topaz]

change your dependency to org.spigotmc:spigot:1.18-R0.1-SNAPSHOT:remapped-mojang

just make sure you have ran buildtools for that version with the --remapped argument before

[cobalt drift]

Ah great, ty

[cobalt drift]

Haha yeah I also prefer Paper

Now I got NMS in my project. How can I now get the TranslatationKey?

[chrome beacon]

You need the remapper plugin

[chrome beacon]

getDescriptionId on the nms itemstack

[cobalt drift]

:remapped-mojang is working perfectly

[chrome beacon]

Until you run the plugin

[cobalt drift]

Oh

[sly topaz]

You need to remap the plug-in afterwards otherwise it’ll be compiled with Mojang mappings

[chrome beacon]

You get the nms itemstack by casting the bukkit one to CraftItemStack and then calling getHandle

[sly topaz]

Was getDescriptionId a method on the ItemStack or the Item instance tho

If it is on the item then you’ll have to do getItem on the nms stack and then getDescriptionId to that

[rotund ravine]

I’m aware, why do you think i explicitly said paper

[cobalt drift]

There is no getHandle method

public final class CraftItemStack extends org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack {
    net.minecraft.world.item.ItemStack handle;
}

But in the class there is a handle var. unfortunately the variable is private. Do I have to access it via reflection?

[sly topaz]

If they wanted to use paper they’d be in the paper discord

[cobalt drift]

Ah there is an static asNMSCopy method
public static net.minecraft.world.item.ItemStack asNMSCopy(org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack original)

Is it possible to automatically upload plugins to spigot using some api?

[sullen marlin]

Nope

[winter jungle]

Would it be worth considering doing this? It would make things a lot easier if my GitHub workflow uploaded the plugin.

[pseudo hazel]

thankfully

and get free bot spam?

[drowsy helm]

not a chance

they dont allow bots for scraping or anything like that lol

[winter jungle]

There should be account requirements then

[thorn isle]

just use ci for ci

you can set an external download link on spigot

[winter jungle]

yeah but not for premium resources

[sly topaz]

you would have to figure out a way to convert github markdown to xenforo formatting, or keep your changelog as plain text so that it doesn't break in-between platforms

anyhow, it has been discussed many times on the forums and the conclusion was always that it wasn't worth the effort given md is the one having to do all that

IIRC biggest hurdle was the fact that the xenforo plugin that spigot uses for the resource manager wasn't made by spigot so adding an API would require mantaining their own custom version (created from scratch, since the xenforo addon isn't open-source), which would have its own share of troubles

if the servers are connected through bungee proxy you could use the server messaging protocol i think that's what its called

i will do with db but i don't have time for code this

im looking free api for this

[misty ingot]

the bukkit api is pretty free
if you are gonna do it then thats a good way to do it

also some external api would also just use it anyway under the hood

what exactly are you trying to do? whats the use case?

[solid crag]

Hello,

I have an issue with ItemStack serialization.

The issue is when I'm trying to serialize an item, the serialization force the Components (displayName and lore) colors value...

This is my code (very simple):

    public String itemToBase64(ItemStack item) {
        if (item == null) {
            return Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(new byte[0]);
        }

        return Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(item.serializeAsBytes());
    }

    public ItemStack itemFromBase64(String data) {
        if (data == null) return null;

        final byte[] bytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(data);

        if (bytes.length == 0) return null;

        return ItemStack.deserializeBytes(bytes);
    }

And with the screenshot you can see the difference between the 2 items. The left item is the serialized and stored item, the right item is the original item on my inventory.

Thank you very much !

How can i force remove player's FishHook from the world?

[faint prawn]

I did it with Draws two vertical lines of red particles (top and bottom points) beside an armor stand, rotated based on the stand’s yaw.

then rotates those points around the stand’s facing direction (its yaw), so the line is always aligned with the armor stand’s rotation.

and i think it was best apporch for my use case

Hello!
Is it possible to load a player as a "new" player on login? Then do login, then load his actual data. Well it is possible through nms... but in from the API standpoint...

If not, is it possible in ||paper||?

[chrome beacon]

for what purpose

Something tells me offline mode

[plush sluice]

im pretty sure you are right, to hide player inventory before login

[mellow edge]

I am against offline mode, but I am trying to create some sort of system, yes.

[plush sluice]

then what would be the point of login system when only online players can join?

[mellow edge]

well what if I want my own auth system, or just something to have as a test plugin?

I don't think it's possible anyway through the api.

[prime vortex]

Hey i have the economy++ plugin everything works fine but i cant figure out the / sell hand command, can someone help me out

[wet breach]

from API standpoint no. You will have to alter the protocol in regards to the login process and just send back data that it was successful to the client

and then you can do whatever you want after that

also, you will want to alter their UUID as well and not accept whatever the client sent

this way you don't re-introduce UUID spoofing lmao

[outer ember]

OH
TY VERY MUCH

[wet breach]

oh no its the bot, thank goodness they finally read the part where they were responded to

[mellow edge]

True. Exactly what I was thinking. Basically I just change the uuid, then when I want to, actually load the player with their real sent UUID. The re-loading data part is the problem...

[wet breach]

its not a problem

you just remove them from the tab list and re-send packets to everyone and re-add to tab list

and everyone should get the updated data

[mellow edge]

I must somehow change the uuid of a player internally for the server to recognize the data.

[wet breach]

its not hard

but all of this simply can not be done from the API though

not even with paper

[mellow edge]

ik, ik

no problem using protocollib/nms

[mellow edge]

@wet breach thank you for help

[wet breach]

np

[thorn isle]

Use a transfer packet to reconnect the player to the server and swap their fake uuid for their actual uuid in the prelogin event

Should be completely doable with the paper api, both transfers and swapping out the uuid

[wet breach]

but you can't halt the login process for later with the api though

basically they are just wanting to move the verification portion to be done later, but still allow them to join

[thorn isle]

This should be doable, did they mention needing something else?

Roll a random uuid on join, set it in the prelogin event, set auth to offline in the same event, then do your verification once the player joins in

Transfer the player back to the server, this time let them use their actual uuid

[wet breach]

I guess paper allows setting auth on a per event basis, but with spigot you can not do that

[thorn isle]

Just make sure all plugins are set to actually use uuids and not names

I don't know if spigot let's you set the uuid either

[wet breach]

it doesn't, which is why I said you can't do what they are wanting with the API

also not seeing where paper allows per event auth either

[chrome beacon]

Yeah I doubt they would add that

[wet breach]

paper allows setting uuid in the profile, but not entirely sure if this applies to the player object though

[slender elbow]

yes

[thorn isle]

you can get the profile in the prelogin event modify it, or create a new one, and set it in the event with https://jd.papermc.io/paper/1.21.1/org/bukkit/event/player/AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent.html#setPlayerProfile(com.destroystokyo.paper.profile.PlayerProfile)

for forcing offline mode auth, it looks like that's on velocity and not paper https://jd.papermc.io/velocity/3.3.0/com/velocitypowered/api/event/connection/PreLoginEvent.PreLoginComponentResult.html#forceOfflineMode()

[outer elk]

no with player

[misty ingot]

then just transfer the player and then on the other server grab their inventory?

[outer elk]

yes

[thorn isle]

i don't know off the top of my head any plugin that does this out of the box

you might have better luck in #help-server

[torn shuttle]

anyone happen to know if set view distance for text display is broken for 1.21.8 or something, it doesn't seem to be working for me

I swear it was working before

[thorn isle]

in what way

the property you set on the entity is applied clientside during rendering; ramping it up super high won't make the server send it from any farther away

[young knoll]

It’s a multiplier too iirc

Based on the clients entity distance

[thorn isle]

yeah, 1.0 is the default and means use the default entity draw distance on the client

[stark dirge]

so i have made a placeholder and it seems to work fine, but not sure how to make it work with essentialsx chat's chat formatting beacause it doesnt allow external placeholders maybe, any other idea so that even if a server has essentialsx chat , then also the placeholder would return the expected output?

[violet blade]

if you are using papi, you could use a chat injector to make it work with essentials

or you could check the source and hook it into essx's api by yourself

[stark dirge]

that plugin worked thanks

[cobalt drift]

Hi, I have a problem with the ChatComponent API. I want to send a message to the player where {name} gets replaced with the won item name. Is there a better way than this?

private BaseComponent[] buildMessageWithItemName(String rawMessage, String prefix, BaseComponent wonItemNameComponent) {
        String[] parts = rawMessage.split("\\{name}", -1);

        ComponentBuilder builder = new ComponentBuilder();

        if (prefix != null && !prefix.isEmpty()) {
            builder.appendLegacy(prefix);
        }

        if (parts.length != 0 && !parts[0].isEmpty()) {
            builder.append(parts[0]);
        }

        builder.append(wonItemNameComponent);

        if (parts.length > 1 && !parts[1].isEmpty()) {
            builder.append(parts[1]);
        }

        return builder.create();
    }

It also doesn't work like it should ...

[smoky anchor]

just... String.replace no ?

oh ye components right sorry :D

[thorn isle]

If you're on paper or can use adventure, they have replaceAll and similar functions on their components that allow you to search for string matches and substitute them with components

[cobalt drift]

And on spigot?

[thorn isle]

Glhf

[cobalt drift]

So that's the best way?

[violet blade]

for text components, yeah probably

[cobalt drift]

Yeah the problem is the prefix and the parts have legacy color codes

[thorn isle]

Run it through the LegacyComponentSerializer to parse them into proper components

[cobalt drift]

So how can I fix this?
If I make builder.appendLegacy(parts[0]), the color codes of this part are formatted but the wonItemnameComponent, which is a TranslatableComponent, is not translated (then there just stands item.minecraft.blabla). But If I make builder.append(parts[0]) the TranslatableComponent is translated but the color codes are not formatted

[cobalt drift]

Ah that's a great idea Ill do try that out later ty

[violet blade]

witht the §? or the regular ampersand?

[cobalt drift]

The value that the method gets goes through ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes(string, '&')

So it's with §

[violet blade]

should work with what vcs2 suggested

[cobalt drift]

Perfect :)

[cobalt drift]

There is no LegacyComponentSerializer

[violet blade]

He is talking about the adventure api

the only proper way to deal with text components as now on spigot without touching internals

[cobalt drift]

Can't I use a method from the spigot api?

Maybe the ComponentSerializer is useful?

[cobalt drift]

Ah nvm, this code works pretty good if I only use append and no appendLegacy

[naive loom]

anyone know how this works? im assuming something with resource packs bur confused with the rainbow and the enchanted back box

[cobalt drift]

The text is made with color gradient and the fancy rank icons are made with texture packs

probably itemadder

[naive loom]

Oh the imagine isnt animated that was what was confusing me the SYBAU tag was a animated rainbow gradient and the ENCHANYED had a moving background

Would that be the same?

[violet blade]

is that chat ?

[cobalt drift]

idk how to do animated chat messages

[violet blade]

yeah once the chat is sent and received it stays as is with one set of colors, the only way to animate it should be by removing and resending it every tick with diff colors

[cobalt drift]

That sounds awful

[violet blade]

you could technically add animated textures to that, i dont know how you would do that for the text part tho

[naive loom]

im sure the rainbow part is with shaders but can textures in chat be a gif / animated?

if so then i could just do that right?

thise would be dynamic and the rainbow would be static because the shader does all the work

[violet blade]

not a gif but a longer texture like this, saved like somename.png

and a set of instructions like this named somename.png.mcmeta

[misty ingot]

its a diff font from normal

so its likely a pack yes

the server i work for uses resource packs like this too

[pseudo hazel]

doubt

its maybe a shader

pack with shader for moving tags

thats my guess

[worldly ingot]

Or they're re-sending chat every tick

If that's actual in-lined chat colour animations, I would also be willing to bet it's a shader. Set it to be a really obscure colour that you probably won't use, then override the text shader to replace that colour with a rainbow effect

It actually would be a relatively simple shader to make too

[misty ingot]

wouldnt that require the end user to use optifine that way tho?

[chrome beacon]

text shaders are a vanilla thing

you can make one with a resource pack

[misty ingot]

interesting

[ripe depot]

how do i set nbt data like VaultServerData.stateUpdatingResumesAt on a vault?

[chrome beacon]

That specific field doesn't look to be part of the api

i get this error while using buildtools when building 1.21.8

i have maven installed

[chrome beacon]

Yeah that's known issue I'm suprised it still hasn't been fixed

Setup your local maven install properly so BuildTools can detect and use it

instead of trying to download its own

[chrome beacon]

Do so by setting the MAVEN_HOME environmental variable and point it to you maven install directory

[plush sluice]

problem is that im pretty sure i have it setup correctly

does it specifically need be v3.9.6?

[chrome beacon]

No

[plush sluice]

then i dont know

im still getting the same error

[chrome beacon]

if you run echo %MAVEN_HOME% what does it say

[plush sluice]

C:\Program Files\Maven\apache-maven-3.9.11

[chrome beacon]

How are you running BuildTools?

[plush sluice]

app?

if thats what you mean by it

[mortal vortex]

As in, through command prompt or?

[plush sluice]

app

.exe*

[mortal vortex]

oh okay

[chrome beacon]

Run it using the jar and through the command prompt

Looks like BuildTools still checks for M2_HOME even though MAVEN_HOME replaced that one in Maven 3

So se that as well and see if it helps

[plush sluice]

didnt work thru cli, so i tried to install latest build tools and ran it, and now after 3mins of building it did this...

[chrome beacon]

That's odd could you run it again in an empty folder

[plush sluice]

i mean i ran it in empty folder

ima try one more time

we're already looking into merging a lot of these models and implementing culling but there's room for improvement

[echo basalt]

huh interesting it seems like protocollib is still the most unreliable POS library I've ever used

[chrome beacon]

hm? What's wrong

[echo basalt]

I'm trying to prevent interaction entities from being sent to the player

And it's detecting every single item display being sent but not any interaction entities

[chrome beacon]

can you not use the api to hide them?

[echo basalt]

It's not what I'm looking for

these might be client-sided

[chrome beacon]

I see, was just asking while browsing through some code

[echo basalt]

Yeah even on a MONITOR priority it doesn't work

I might try packetevents after gym

yeah you'll probably have a better time with that

ProtocolLib is pretty painful to work with tbh

and if that doesn't work then I'll be lost

because I disabled hitboxes on nexo as well

and /kill @e[type=interaction] does nothing

[slender elbow]

i mean, that just straight up indicates they are not real server entities

which like, who/how is sending them then

[thorn isle]

If they're getting sent deep in the network pipeline (e.g. wire packets), PL won't see then

Dump your netty pipeline and see who's where

[thorn isle]

I probably missed the reply

            Class<?> relEnum = Class.forName("net.minecraft.world.entity.RelativeMovement");
            enumPlayerTeleportFlags.addAll(Arrays.asList(relEnum.getEnumConstants()));

            float diffPitch = targetDirection.getPitch() - currentDirection.getPitch();
            float diffYaw   = targetDirection.getYaw()   - currentDirection.getYaw();

            //Normalize to (-360..360)
            diffYaw %= 360;

            //If greater than 180 in either direction, mod 180 and flip the sign; 270 % 180 = 90, 90 * -1 = -90
            if (Math.abs(diffYaw) > 180) diffYaw = (diffYaw % 180) * -1;

            if (Math.abs(diffYaw) < 15 && Math.abs(diffPitch) < 10) continue;

            diffYaw *= 0.05;
            diffPitch *= 0.05;

            PacketContainer packet = ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.POSITION);

            packet.getDoubles().writeSafely(0, 0.0D); //x
            packet.getDoubles().writeSafely(1, 0.0D); //y
            packet.getDoubles().writeSafely(2, 0.0D); //z
            packet.getFloat().writeSafely(0, diffYaw); //yaw
            packet.getFloat().writeSafely(1, diffPitch); //pitch

            @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
            Set<Object> relativitySet = (Set<Object>) packet.getModifier().read(RELATIVITY_BIT_FIELD_ORDINAL); //relativity bit field
            relativitySet.addAll(enumPlayerTeleportFlags);

            packet.getIntegers().writeSafely(0, ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt()); //teleport id
            packet.getBooleans().writeSafely(0, false); //dismount

            try { ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().sendServerPacket(player, packet); }
            catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }

this was in 1.20; i've since removed the logic since players found it disorienting, and i'm fairly sure the relativity set has been changed since

[echo basalt]

does java have a lazy String.replace where I can toss a supplier or something

I might've gone a bit crazy with my placeholder system and it's wasting a lot of time rendering strings that will never be matched

[sly topaz]

wdym by this

[mortal vortex]

Use Apache's StringSubstitutor @echo basalt

[sly topaz]

ah, I get what you mean now. Only replace if it finds the placeholder

[echo basalt]

Something like
"Really really big string".replace("really", () -> Whatever)

[mortal vortex]

https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-text/apidocs/org/apache/commons/text/StringSubstitutor.html What I use

Otherwise, what stops you from making your own:

public static String lazyReplace(String source, String target, Supplier<String> replacementSupplier) {
    if (!source.contains(target)) {
        return source;
    }
    return source.replace(target, replacementSupplier.get());
}

[echo basalt]

the contains and replace check could be merged :)

is my intuition

[mortal vortex]

that defeats the whole purpose of being "lazy" since we're always calling replacementSupplier.get() regardless of whether a replacement is needed??

[echo basalt]

Well it could in theory find the target and its start and end positions before having to call the supplier

I'm just not sure if apache figured that out or if it's just a utility for replacement

[mortal vortex]

I think its more extensive

[echo basalt]

I'll need to investigate

[mortal vortex]

I see what you mean, so maybe:

private static List<Integer> findAllOccurences(String source, String target) {
    List<Integer> positions = new ArrayList<>();
    int index = 0;
    while ((index = source.indexOf(target, index)) != -1) {
        positions.add(index);
        index += target.length();
    }
    return positions;
}

public static String lazyReplace(String source, String target, Supplier<String> replacementSupplier) {

    List<Integer> positions = findAllOccurrences(source, target);
    if (positions.isEmpty()) {
        return source;
    }
    
    String replacement = replacementSupplier.get(); 
    return replaceAtPositions(source, target, replacement, positions);
}

or you could use boxed with streams

[sly topaz]

I'd just make a proper tokenizer at that point

[mortal vortex]

Yeah lol

[echo basalt]

ok what the fuck

this guy's either running this a trillion times or hosts his minecraft server on a smart toaster

[mortal vortex]

lmfao what

[sly topaz]

hasMetadata is essentially just a Map#containsKey so I wonder if it is just sampling bias

[rotund ravine]

Ew metadata

Percentages mean shit anyway

[echo basalt]

was checking if they're npcs

as for MSPT it's sticking at around 80

2% of that going to metadata checks is still more than it should be

Why when I change remove the same letter or ' and after dm reload this menu doesn't work

I have 193 menus but i removed ' and dm reload - 192 menus and again i put this ' and dm reload- 192 menus
I've seen this problem in other menus from buil.b_b*t ( where there are ready-made menus ), but these menus are from my developer from 7 months ago and if I change a letter, the menu doesn't work.

[sullen marlin]

' is a quote, why are you removing it?

[echo basalt]

chat why is it that when I remove a \n the line doesn't break anymore

[gaunt tangle]

if I change a letter or word in this menu after dm reload this menu does not work

[winter jungle]

does anyone know what sound this is?

[violet blade]

one of the nether waste's ambience sound

[winter jungle]

Ohh i see, is there a way to get one sound specifically from the list of available sounds?

well there is probably a way, but yeah

[violet blade]

maybe using the playsound with seed option

void playSound(Entity entity, Sound sound, SoundCategory category, float volume, float pitch, long seed)

you are particularly interesting in this https://youtu.be/-C-zQLd03Ic

ah look, someone already provided a list of seeds that can be useful

[winter jungle]

Thanks!

[worldly ingot]

TIL about StringSubstitutor

[hybrid spoke]

that you knew this out of the blue is impressive

[violet blade]

i knew it was an ambience sound from the reverb but the mc wiki helped

[rotund ravine]

Ur late to the party smh

[slender elbow]

frankly using a Pattern with a literal string is very fine too, probably not as "elegant" but you don't need a whole stinking apache library for it

static final Pattern P = Pattern.compile("foobar", Pattern.LITERAL)

P.matcher(input).replaceAll(match -> ???)

and because it's a simple string literal it's dirt cheap

[worldly ingot]

(a) single-letter constants 😔
(b) Isn't Apache text already shaded into Bukkit?

[dull atlas]

Hey, I made a move-able building and I just added a function to move all entities inside of its bounding box, however when I try to teleport the player, I feel like it resets its camera to previous tick or smth, so I was wondering if there's a way to teleport the player without resetting its pitch & yaw? I'm not entirely sure of the source of this issue, so here's a video and my code:

public void moveEntities(World world, Location posA, Location posB, int dx, int dz) {
        BoundingBox area = new BoundingBox(posA.getX(), posA.getY(), posA.getZ(), posB.getX(), posB.getY(), posB.getZ());
        Collection<Entity> entities = world.getNearbyEntities(area);
        for(Entity entity : entities) {
            Location loc = entity.getLocation().add(dx, 0, dz);
            entity.teleport(loc, PlayerTeleportEvent.TeleportCause.PLUGIN);
        }
    }```

[slender elbow]

a) typing code on discord, be grateful i added static final
b) yes, however: apache

[smoky anchor]

Ye, you need to teleport the player relatively instead of this way
But I don't think spigot has a way of doing it
Try to TP by dispatching a command instead teleport <player> ~dx ~ ~dz

[eternal oxide]

EyeLocation has pitch and yaw, not sure entity location has teh correct value

[dull atlas]

I mean, I do teleport the player relatively with entity.getLocation().add(dx, 0, dz);,
I can try to do via command but I have some doubts, still doesn't hurt to try it ig

[eternal oxide]

but spigot teleport does support pitch/yaw

[smoky anchor]

no I mean that the TP packet literally has "relative flags" which I doubt are added by the teleport function in API in any way
If you TP with yaw/pitch then you would take the servers latest value which will not be up to date 'cause ping exists

[dull atlas]

indeed, since yaw and pitch are stored in the Location class variable. And it seems there is no other teleport functions, when looking at the interface, that only handles position and not pitch/yaw.

Oh wait so you meant like to use the tp command to only use relative pos and ignore pitch yaw right

[smoky anchor]

I think that way the clients yaw and pitch will be taken instead, I do not know tho

I know there was a guy who was trying to do recoil and that involved TP as well
something similar

[dull atlas]

Sound logical, I will try that

Last time I tried to dispatch commands, it was burrying the console so I'll see if there's a "cleaner" way to do it with flooding 😅

[smoky anchor]

Well you can always just teleport directly with NMS :D

[dull atlas]

Oh yeah, I'll check that out (haven't used much NMS, been dark sorcery for me ngl xD)

[outer ember]

Is there any way to test my newer version of my plugin without restarting server with something like reload?

The Spigot API uses it

i dont need to add it in my other projects

[worldly ingot]

You do if you want to use the Spigot API

[pine forge]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-gradle

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, and BungeeChat for version 1.12 (which you are depending on) exists on the md-5 repo, not the Sonatype repo

That wiki page is for 1.20

[plush current]

Hey, i m new to plugin developement and i was wondering how can i make my minecraft plugin work in different versions? without the use of NMS.

[quaint mantle]

The api does it by default

[plush current]

The spigot api?

[quaint mantle]

yes

[plush current]

alright thanks for the informtion

[chrome beacon]

Just make sure to depend on the oldest version you want to support

[plush current]

What do u mean?

[violet blade]

means that if you want to support something from 1.X to 1.Y, you need to use the 1.X dependency

[plush current]

ok

[pseudo hazel]

i.e. if you want to make a 1.21 plugin work on 1.18, you have to code it for 1.18

[thorn isle]

Use the functional replace methods on Matcher

If you're matching for literals, wrap your pattern in Pattern.quote

This also allows you to parse through the string in one go resolving all placeholders at once, rather than searching for them individually

link: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/frontier-guard-beta.128966/

update for the plugin is to connect to spigot api for plugin updates and really dont want people downloading without that but needed to upload plugin to create the plugin resource

probably best to contact the support email

How can i make a plugin run from 1.9-1.21?

without NMS

[rotund ravine]

Use the bukkit api

[plush current]

and what version do i need to build?

[elfin isle]

the lowest version you're targeting

but ideally you should specify api-version: 1.13

[rancid stream]

do you konw why they dont work

[mortal vortex]

Can you share code?

[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.

[plush current]

I am new to minecrft plugin developement, while i was tying to code my plugin i am not getting any code suggestions can any one help me?

[thorn isle]

Which IDE are you using

[plush current]

intellij

someone help?

[sullen marlin]

Does your plugin compile?

[plush current]

ye

My IDE can see normal Java classes (like onEnable()), but it doesn’t recognize Spigot classes like Player, Bukkit, or CommandSender. I think the Spigot API jar isn’t properly linked or downloaded. Could you help me ensure the API is correctly set up so imports and suggestions work?

[rotund ravine]

How did you set up ur project?

[plush current]

by using micraft generator vilble in the ide

[rotund ravine]

No clue what that meqns

Means

[thorn isle]

what build tool are you using? or are you using the ide's built-in dependency manager?

[lethal meteor]

i think he is talking about minecraft dev plugin in intellij

[thorn isle]

the default build tool for that is maven iirc

[lethal meteor]

gradle works fine too

atleast for me

[lethal meteor]

do you have pom.xml or build.gradle files?

if yes - show contents of it

[tawny osprey]

Hey guys, do commands have to have their own class?

[violet blade]

not really, people do that to keep their code tidy

[echo basalt]

Is there any set collection that's made for bulk adds / removes? HashSet's collection constructor manually adds each entry one by one

and that's hogging 6% of the server performance at ~2500 entries a tick

[slender elbow]

i mean, hashset kinda has to do that, as it needs to hash each item to know in what bucket to put it

any other set is not going to have the properties of a hash set

why are you copying a collection with 2.5k items into a hash set every tick?

[rancid stream]

It won't let me be sure it's to long

[echo basalt]

it's a bulk update task kind of thing

[slender elbow]

could you use a tree set? the NavigableSet interface has some really neat methods that might be useful, but it heavily depends on the use case

obviously that implies ordering

[echo basalt]

goes a bit like this

public void bulkUpdate(Collection<Entry> entries) {
  this.existingEntries.computeIfAbsent(entry, EntryWrapper::wrap).update();

  Set<Entry> expired = new HashSet<>(existingEntries.keySet());
  expired.removeAll(entries);

  bulkRemove(expired);
}

the whole method pulls 6% cpu time, evenly divided between computeIfAbsent and the set add / removeAll methods

[slender elbow]

hm, is the use of a hash set there strictly necessary?
you could use an array list with the capacity ctor and manually add the entries that aren't to be removed instead of add all + remove all
or if you can somehow determine an immutable ordering for the entries, using a tree set/map and getting all the keys before/after some min/max entry

[thorn isle]

use fastutil collections

and instead of the constructor that takes a collection, use .clone()

this'll just clone the underlying structure rather than initializing an empty collection and adding things one by one

[cobalt drift]

Hi, is it allowed to upload a jar on Spigot that's not a plugin but helps for servers?

So the JAR doesn't implement any Minecraft API

[chrome beacon]

There is a category for non-plugins

it's a bit stricter on the reviews

[slender elbow]

eh, fastutils is kind of whatever in my experience if you aren't working with primitive types

you'd need to clone the whole map since you can't clone just the key set but i guess that would work too

[thorn isle]

yeah, it's just an arraycopy

use a paste site

[rancid stream]

ok

https://pastes.dev/N5reFc4SIe

only the honey cookie recipe works

[eternal oxide]

Use https://pastes.dev/ what you posted is unreadable

lol, zero formatting

[rancid stream]

i changed the link

[thorn isle]

it's still unreadable

[eternal oxide]

you copy pasted from your pastebin so zero formatting remained

[rancid stream]

now try

https://pastes.dev/N5reFc4SIe

[eternal oxide]

nope

[rancid stream]

try this link

[eternal oxide]

better

[rancid stream]

and cooie items is another script iwth the items

cookie*

[eternal oxide]

do you discover recipe for the player?

[rancid stream]

when i put them in a crafting table only honey cookie works

the other ones dont work

[thorn isle]

grandmacookierecipe.addIngredient(10,Material.COCOA_BEANS);

i'm not sure if this is something you can do

have you checked the console for errors?

[rancid stream]

yes

and nothing

but the other ones dont work either and beofre i had muilitolpe amoutns they still didint owrk

[eternal oxide]

yeah all your other recipies are broken

you can;t do quantity

[rancid stream]

so how can i

[thorn isle]

you maybe can but 10 isn't going to fit in the crafting grid

[eternal oxide]

um yeah

2 should

ah I see

your second recipe errors out at startup so only the first recipe is registered

you are erroring out of yoru onenable

[thorn isle]

that's why i asked for errors, but supposedly there aren't any

not to say we don't trust you but uh maybe send your server startup log in another paste

[eternal oxide]

yeah, he'd miss it as its during startup and he's likely not looked there

also NameSpacedKey shoudl all be lowercase

[rancid stream]

i use featther launcher servers

[rancid stream]

but some of them are lower case

[eternal oxide]

also as vcs said, change the value down from 10 so all components fit in a crafting grid

ALL have to be lower case

and your error is your quantity of ingredients

[rancid stream]

https://imgur.com/SbBfeCS

this wont work

[thorn isle]

yes, that's not how shapeless recipes with amounts work

having an amount of n means the ingredient needs to appear n times in the recipe

think fireworks gunpowder

or honestly god only knows if amounts work in shapeless recipes at all, iirc fireworks are a special case of a complexrecipe

get rid of the amount numbers in your code and send the server startup log in a paste

[wet breach]

amounts work, but I don't remember how you do them in the api also you have to know which ingredients can be stacked and which can't lol

[rancid stream]

public void ProtienCookieRecipe(){
        ShapelessRecipe protiencookierecipe = new ShapelessRecipe(new NamespacedKey(this,"protien_cookie"), CookieItems.Proiten_COOKIE);
        protiencookierecipe.addIngredient(Material.COOKIE);
        protiencookierecipe.addIngredient(Material.COOKED_BEEF);
        protiencookierecipe.addIngredient(Material.COOKED_BEEF);

Is there any1 here who knows how to fix ghost blocks on bridging server?

Pls i really need help

[eternal oxide]

Pretty sure 1.20 requires a higher java version. But I couldn't tell you which

[thorn isle]

onEnable is not a class and it is indeed from the spigot api

can you maybe send a screenshot of what you're seeing, or specific linkage errors if you are getting any

[misty ingot]

?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)

[eternal oxide]

Nope, seems 17+ is ok

My best guess is you have a fubar cache

clear cache and restart, under the file menu of IJ

I think

[thorn isle]

either "repair ide" or "invalidate caches and restart" under that menu yeah

[misty ingot]

in the meantime also consider switching to gradle

thanks it worked

[fickle spindle]

how i can update a gui (without the cursor of the player moving) or move my cursor in a specific position when opening a guy?

[chrome beacon]

don't close the old one

[fickle spindle]

and how i can update the amount of an item?

[chrome beacon]

call set amount on the itemstack

[fickle spindle]

ok ty

[fickle spindle]

the problem is that the gui is already opened i'm doing something like a shop with a limited amount of items so i want that the number decrees for the player that just bought it too

[thorn isle]

have an inventory per player

then you can reorder and change the inventory as much as you like without having to close it and open a new one, except for changing the dimensions of the inventory, and maybe i think the inventory title

[fickle spindle]

and how i should do something like that sorry?

[thorn isle]

do what you're doing now but instead of just having one inventory, have one inventory for each player

yeah just get the item in the gui and set the amount

[fickle spindle]

i'm creating a inventory in a class for all my inventories and then opening it with the p.openInventory(shop(p)) then if i try to do the item.setamount in the function when i buy the item nothing change

[thorn isle]

someone throw that bot command with the inventory framework guide at him

@torn shuttle Hi, does your model thingie support Inverse Kinematics ?
My renderer... doesn't :D

[thorn isle]

LGTM

[torn shuttle]

IK? not yet

[smoky anchor]

ah sad

[torn shuttle]

I've seen it being implemented elsewhere, didn't seem that hard

there's definitely a wealth of guides on how to do it out there

[leaden field]

Hello everyone, who wants to help me with plugin creation? I dont know anything about spigot coding, but i have great idea

[smoky anchor]

Ye I got the Fabrik thing there, but I just can't properly rotate the elements

[torn shuttle]

there's a billion guides on ik out there

maybe take a look at them

pretty sure it's soemthing ai can do too since it's been done to death

you know what it can't do though

wfc

ask me how I know

[smoky anchor]

I'll ask better, what is wfc :D

[torn shuttle]

wave function collapse

[leaden field]

Pls, can somebody help me? I want to create a great plugin, but i don't know how

[torn shuttle]

we're clearly not interested

[smoky anchor]

[thorn isle]

simple wfc is trivial but making it perform well enough to be feasible is difficult

[torn shuttle]

mine performs real well actually

the thing killing me though is the antipattern bs I've been doing with it

like the concept of nothing spaces or world borders

tag-based generation and meta tags like no-mirror

also honorable mention to worldedit for being generally unpleasant to interface with

it's working though

she's a beaut

[thorn isle]

my wfc approach basically blocks-as-voxels; pixel art in 3d

[torn shuttle]

I mean blocks are voxels but sure

[thorn isle]

since every block was its own point in the solution space with its own wave function to collapse, it was pretty difficult to get it to perform reasonably

[torn shuttle]

this one generates that in about 10 seconds tops I think

including paste time

well within reason

[thorn isle]

in the end i had to make it approximate and just regenerate portions if it ran into a contradiction

[torn shuttle]

also without causing lag because I put that sucker on its own workload task

[echo basalt]

wasted 2 hours at work trying to force an empty chunk into paper's chunk system

wsup nerds

[torn shuttle]

why not just make a chunk with a pixel art display of your bank account status instead

[smoky anchor]

Oh ye ok, that was stupidly easy

maybe it's just an issue with paper, but I'm wondering if there's a commonly known way around it

[worldly ingot]

Well if you're using Paper, there's always the possibility it behaves differently

[mortal vortex]

Known? Not here because this isn’t paper. People who use spigot use the event no problem so there wouldn’t be a need for a workaround

i dont think there is one

the EntityBreedEvent has a getBreeder but thats already uhh... postpartum

[mortal vortex]

In other words, after they make sweet love.

[violet blade]

wait

you can probably make use of the Animal#isLoveMode() to cancel the event earlier if an animal is already fed

[mortal vortex]

isLoveMode is a weird way to say isArroused.

Hi, I don't know if this is the place to ask, but I have tried using BuildTools to build spigot-1.8.8.jar. I am running into issues while building though:
https://pastebin.com/QtjuKqHz

[thorn isle]

Depend on nms, cast world to craft world, get it's handle, optionally get the chunk, then get the tile entity from the chunk

I don't remember all of the method names off the top of my head but if you build against mojang mapped nms they will be fairly self-evident

[ripe depot]

yeah i ended up doing whatever this is

[thorn isle]

That also works

[fickle spindle]

How I can make on screen animations like for example egg Hatching or just like a block that moves

[smoky anchor]

Can you provide an example ?

[fickle spindle]

Just for make you make the idea https://youtube.com/shorts/fcBwc1xECZk?si=15KU5D5BlOYsL3Td

Something on the screen that moves

[mortal vortex]

This is not fucking roblox

[fickle spindle]

Hahahaha ik I haven't found someone showing it on Minecraft that was the first idea that game to my mind

I remember someone did it on Minecraft but I don't remember where I saw it

[drowsy helm]

Can definitely do it with display entities

[mortal vortex]

yes but it would not be "tied" to the screen.

[drowsy helm]

Spectate armorstand ez

[mortal vortex]

and also, an egg isnt a model, so all you can pobably do is have a 2d egg sprite that rolls back and forth

[fickle spindle]

Okay thanks

[violet blade]

100% doable with a resource pack

[violet blade]

you could send a title with a font and replace that font with the tiny animation u want

[primal island]

So if I want to make a farming plugin where you can select different crops and it only needs to be showed to the player that select it, I need to use Protocollib for fake block spawning right? So it will plant a specific area with that crop you select for the player.

[thorn isle]

the api has supported sending block change packets for a while

[fickle spindle]

when empty hand right click fires? (i tried in PlayerInteractEvent)

[chrome beacon]

if you're right clicking air with no item no event will be fired

The client never sends a packet to the server

[pure dagger]

When you make a plugin does the maven create a normal jar or a fat jar ???

[chrome beacon]

Depends on your setup

[tawny osprey]

why is there so little documentation on nms

[graceful fiber]

Hopefully this is the correct place to ask; I was installing spigot via BuildTools and got this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project spigot-api: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.spigotmc:spigot-api:jar:1.8.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT: The following artifacts could not be resolved: net.md-5:bungeecord-chat:jar:1.8-SNAPSHOT (absent): net.md-5:bungeecord-chat:jar:1.8-SNAPSHOT was not found in https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots during a previous attempt. This failure was cached in the local repository and resolution is not reattempted until the update interval of sonatype-nexus-snapshots has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

[tawny osprey]

can't even build NMS for some stupid reason, and im not sure why I CANT ACCESS spigot-api via the repository

[tawny osprey]

You using buildtools?

[chrome beacon]

Minecraft has updates?

[graceful fiber]

yes on linux (if it helps, with java 8)

[chrome beacon]

delete the cached failure from your m2

and let it fetch again

[graceful fiber]

deleted everything literally in that folder

[chrome beacon]

Could you send the full log of the first run with an empty m2

[tawny osprey]

Do you mind if I ask what changes?

With packets

I dont want my code to be meaningless if I update my version

[thorn isle]

depends on what's changed about them

for example, in one update mojang arbitrarily made the delete entity packet hold a list of entity id's rather than a single entity id, to delete entities in bulk

why? i'm not sure

will something like it happen again? for certain

[chrome beacon]

not to mention nms is massive

[thorn isle]

in what way specifically? god only knows

[chrome beacon]

It would take a crazy effort to document it all

[tawny osprey]

lol

[chrome beacon]

not to mention it really isn't needed that much

you can usually just read through the decompiled code and figure out what things do

[graceful fiber]

is that good ^ or should I manually copy from terminal?

[quaint dagger]

Hello, I'm making a Spigot plugin. Is it possible to lower the horizontal velocity of a player's jump?

[chrome beacon]

jump length? or just the speed?

[quaint dagger]

Jump length

[chrome beacon]

Could try and change the movement speed and movement efficiency

attributes ^

[misty ingot]

put some weights in the player's pockets

[quaint dagger]

GENERIC_MOVEMENT_SPEED?

[misty ingot]

read the java docs and you'll find out

it probably is that one tho

[chrome beacon]

No GENERIC part of the attribute anymore

so I assume you're on an old version

[quaint dagger]

1.20.1

[misty ingot]

ah thats unfortunate

because now we are obligated to say that its not supported

or smth like that

[chrome beacon]

and that the movement efficiency attribute is missing

iirc

[misty ingot]

i think you can find old javadocs somewhere tho

[chrome beacon]

helpchat has them

[misty ingot]

yes that

[chrome beacon]

yeah no movement efficiency in 1.20.1

[misty ingot]

even more unfortunate

imagine having no support AND no feature

make a fork of 1.20.1 and add it yourself instead of updating to a newer version which has the feature to show dominance

[chrome beacon]

That's something the client would need to support

so forking won't help

[misty ingot]

make a custom client to go along with it to show double dominance

[thorn isle]

i think the slowness effect/movement speed attribute still applies midair

there'll be some latency related inconsistency, but if you apply an attribute modifier or the effect on the jump event you can probably reduce the jump length, or at least midair movement control

[quaint dagger]

Yeah but it changes the FOV

[chrome beacon]

it does but you should be able to use the movement efficiency attribute to counter that

I have a question when it comes to Runnables. I’m new with using runnables and the api altogether. So would having many runnables cause my plugin to lag the server?

[echo basalt]

It depends

[tawny osprey]

hmm

[echo basalt]

A runnable is basically just an interface that defines a method named run exists, takes no arguments and returns nothing

And whatever you define its implementation as, is what is run

If you're running heavy code, then yeah it might lag

[tawny osprey]

in the code block of the runnable?

[echo basalt]

It's like asking "if I give my employee a task will they take long?"

Yup

Whatever that runnable's implementation is

it's obviously a lot more complicated than this but at a lower level a scheduler is just

public class Scheduler {

  public void addTask(Runnable task) {
    ...
  }

  public void tickTasks() {
    for (Runnable task : getTasksForCurrentTick()) {
      task.run();
    }
  }

  public Collection<Runnable> getTasksForCurrentTick() {
    ...
  }
}

tickTasks is then aligned to the game's tick loop

Which is basically something like

public class TickLoop {

  private static final int TICKS_PER_SECOND = 20;
  private static final long TICK_TIME = 1000 / TICKS_PER_SECOND;
  
  private long startMs;

  public void tick() {
    this.startMs = System.currentTimeMillis();
    doTick();
    
    long elapsed = System.currentTimeMillis() - startMs;
    long timeLeft = TICK_TIME - elapsed;
    
    if (timeLeft > 0) {
      sleep(timeLeft);
    }

    tick();
  }

  public void doTick() {
    // tick scheduler and world and whatever
  }
}

[tawny osprey]

would this cause lag

[echo basalt]

What would?

[tawny osprey]

calling the run method on each task

[echo basalt]

It depends on what the task is

An empty task will basically do nothing when run

something heavy will do a lot when it's run

[tawny osprey]

What do you mean when you say “define its implementation”, are you trying to say there is different implementations of Runnable?

[echo basalt]

Yup

The idea of an interface is that you're defining how you want to trigger behavior without knowing what that behavior is

Or in other words, a contract for a class

That defines what methods it'll have

[tawny osprey]

Yes as every method in an interface is abstract

[echo basalt]

Each class that implements that interface, in turn, implements those methods

and defines their behavior

Here's an implementation

public class TextPrinter implements Runnable {

  private final String text;

  public TextPrinter(String text) {
    this.text = text;
  }

  @Override
  public void run() {
    System.out.println(text);
  }
}

[tawny osprey]

But that would only run the block of code once

correct?

[echo basalt]

It would run the block of code every time run is called

[tawny osprey]

But why would that be useful

[echo basalt]

What exactly?

Interfaces or calling it twice?

[tawny osprey]

Just implementing runnable

for that situation

[echo basalt]

This is just a silly example

I often implement runnables to define specific tasks as its own class

For example

[tawny osprey]

Ahh ok

[echo basalt]

public class DebugClaimOutlinesTask implements Runnable {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        if (!PluginLogger.isDebugging()) {
            return;
        }

        for (GuildData guild : CorePlugin.getInstance().guildManager().getLoadedGuilds()) {
            for (GuildClaim claim : guild.getClaims()) {
                Color color = pickColor(claim.getClaimId());
                Cuboid bounds = claim.getBounds();
                World world = claim.getCenter().getWorld();

                for (Point3D point : bounds.renderOutline(0.2)) {
                    world.spawnParticle(Particle.DUST, new DirectLocation(world, point.getX(), point.getY(), point.getZ()), 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, new DustOptions(color, 1f));
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private Color pickColor(UUID claimId) {
        Random random = new Random(claimId.getMostSignificantBits());
        return Color.fromRGB(random.nextInt(255), random.nextInt(255), random.nextInt(255));
    }
}

[tawny osprey]

Ok so if you implement the runnable interface you have to have the run method in your class correct?

[echo basalt]

Yup, the Runnable interface forces me to

And that's by design

Whatever method takes a runnable doesn't need to care about what code is running

It just needs to know how to call it

You can also make your own methods that take runnables

For example

public void doSomethingWithACallback(String input, Runnable callback) {
  process(input);
  callback.run();
}

Runnables are basically just a way to represent a function call as a variable

And other functional interfaces to the same, but for different parameters and types

[tawny osprey]

For this block of code, why are you implementing the Runnable, I am curious about its purpose for this specific block of code

[echo basalt]

Read and figure it out, the code's pretty clean

[tawny osprey]

I mean it’s just that I don’t really understand why you’re using the run method for it

[echo basalt]

What else would I be using?

[tawny osprey]

For me I thought Runnables were meant to be used when it comes to Timers/delay and whatnot

[echo basalt]

Runnables are general purpose

and this is a task

[tawny osprey]

So would you be able to have the same sort of outcome without the use of the Runnable implementation in this block of code

[echo basalt]

I wrote the runnable implementation

I think we need to backtrack

Let's say you have a plugin that gives players rewards when they vote

[tawny osprey]

Yes

[echo basalt]

And you have different kinds of rewards, such as running a command, giving an item, adding currency through Vault

[tawny osprey]

mhm

[echo basalt]

The beginner approach would be something like this

public class CommandReward {

  private String command;

  public CommandReward(String command) {
    this.command = command;
  }

  public String getCommand() {
    return this.command;
  }
}

public class ItemReward {

  private ItemStack item;

  public ItemReward(ItemStack item) {
    this.item = item;
  }

  public ItemStack getCommand() {
    return this.item;
  }
}

...

private List<CommandReward> commands;
private List<ItemReward> items;

public void award(Player player) {
  for (CommandReward command : commands) {
    Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), command.getCommand().replace("%player%", player.getName()));
  }

  for (ItemReward item : items) {
    player.getInventory().addItem(item.getItem());
  }
}

Now this works and might be okay for some people

But we can do better

[tawny osprey]

Hmm

[echo basalt]

For example, we could define a common interface among all rewards and pass the actual logic from the "award" logic to each implementation

So that the CommandReward class handles running the command

the ItemReward class handles giving the item

etc

But for that we need to say that "no matter the reward, it'll have a award(player) method"

in other words, we need to specify common behavior across every reward

[tawny osprey]

Do you mean part where you’re giving the item or running the command on the specific player

[echo basalt]

Yup

[tawny osprey]

Awesome

[echo basalt]

So it'd look a bit like this

public interface Reward {
  void award(Player player);
}

public class CommandReward implements Reward {

  private String command;

  public CommandReward(String command) {
    this.command = command;
  }

  /*  We don't need this anymore
  public String getCommand() {
    return this.command;
  }
  */ 

  @Override
  public void award(Player player) {
    Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), command.replace("%player%", player.getName()));
  }
}

public class ItemReward implements Reward {

  private ItemStack item;

  public ItemReward(ItemStack item) {
    this.item = item;
  }

  /*
  public ItemStack getCommand() {
    return this.item;
  }
  */

  @Override
  public void award(Player player) {
    player.getInventory().addItem(item);
  }
}

We can also merge our handler class

private List<Reward> rewards;

public void award(Player player) {
  for (Reward reward : this.rewards) {
    reward.award(player);
  }
}

[tawny osprey]

Got it

[echo basalt]

A single interface not only defines common behavior among classes but also results in cleaner, more organized code

Our handler class does not need to care about the different types of rewards that exist and this even opens the possibility of having plugins add their own kinds

like pet exp, rankup levels etc as rewards

It's up for each implementation to decide what it does

[tawny osprey]

Yes 👍

[echo basalt]

Now, Runnables are an interface like any other

And if you boil it down it looks like this

public interface Runnable {
  void run();
}

[tawny osprey]

Okay

[echo basalt]

I can make a class that implements it and sends a message to everyone

Or spawns some particles

Or updates a boss bar

Or runs some code

Whoever I'm passing that runnable to, doesn't care about what it does

It just knows when to call it

[tawny osprey]

I just don’t see how that’s better than making your own method to for example update a boss bar

[echo basalt]

You can definitely make a runnable that just calls your method
