[buoyant viper]

and have u double checked the value of TICKET_SUBCHANNEL?

[ocean gorge]

in what way? 2 times?

[buoyant viper]

no i mean like, have u looked at the code itself and made sure the value is set correctly

like with ur eyes

not double if's or somethin lol

[ocean gorge]

ah, yes, i checked, they match

[buoyant viper]

idk then, u might have better luck asking in Paper discord, since it does seem like ur using Velocity

[chrome beacon]

Odd, could you send a minimal jar with the issue

If you believe it to be a remapping issue we need the jar

[umbral ridge]

[chrome beacon]

👀 new emoji

huh when did these get added

[slender elbow]

lol

[sacred mountain]

wtf

[umbral ridge]

nice

[sacred mountain]

If i were to want to create custom entities that attack players and have their own abilities, how would i go about doing that? I assume I'd need NMS and something with a fake player entity

if anyone has a library or can point me in the right direction

i'd appreciate

[chrome beacon]

Citizens + Sentinel

[sacred mountain]

their apis?

i haven't used citizens since i used to run my own server like 4 years ago lol

thanks i'll give that a go

why is citizens 20$

[chrome beacon]

Read the Spigot page

[sacred mountain]

i see

reading past the title isnt my strong point

[tranquil pecan]

just use the free version

[sacred mountain]

are clicks just not sent to the server when you're in adventure mode

for some reason citizens NPCs dont get clicked when the player is in adventure

bruh

[shadow pumice]

Hey! i need help figuring smth out please
I cant figure out how to force the player to spectate an armor stand when they join the server ~ if any1 knows that would be great!

[wet breach]

can't read javadocs?

[thorn isle]

something something doing it onjoin and the respawn logic undoes it

[umbral ridge]

entries are players right

and String is what... username or string uuid

[thorn isle]

i don't think they're uuid-bound

could be any string, but for players, the player name is used

[umbral ridge]

ok cool cool

[thorn isle]

not sure how it works with entities, i think the uuid.toString is used for them

[young knoll]

Yeah

[umbral ridge]

well

it's kind of a mess

there is also Entity option but there is no getEntities

only remove and add

😿

[pseudo hazel]

yeah because scoreboards used to be tied to like entities I think but they removed that so now it doesnt need to be an entity

[umbral ridge]

ok then ill stick to entry

entry can be a string uuid or player name... anythingreally as long as its string.. kinda nice

but how does the Team know that player A is actually player A

if I just set addEntry("test123")... and I'm a player ItsSpexx ?

that seems fucked up lol

does Team have some internal resolver that resolves player names to Player/OfflinePlayer

what the heck

I think Team and Scoreboard could use some PR

refactoring..

The BuildTool.exe is marked as virus for me? Any way to get CraftBukkit builds online? Or via a repo?

now i can go smoke

[buoyant viper]

the fully qualified class name in the param is crazy

[umbral ridge]

this is because i tend to do this:

it's named the same

[buoyant viper]

[umbral ridge]

i love cigarettes

man

do you know how much work i had

i had to deal with caching all player permissions data

now finally

BEAUTIFUL CLEAN GroupChangeEvent and other friends

not to mention all is async and cached with a beautiful friend PermissionsCacheManager

i can smoke in peace, a new clean chapter has been opened

[young knoll]

That chapter is not your lungs

[umbral ridge]

XD

i dont even want to think how ill have to deal with nametags stupid system

its giving me a headache

teams and scoreboard like russians and ukraine

[rotund ravine]

Don’t.

[umbral ridge]

how do i name it then?

XD

if I have an event SomeTestEvent, the class name should be.. what.. EventSomeTest?

[young knoll]

I usually use SomeTestListener

[umbral ridge]

thats actually not a bad idea

why haven't i thought of that

[thorn isle]

certainly keep listener distinct from event

[sly topaz]

I just keep all my listeners on my main class, that way I never have to worry about the listener class name

[pliant topaz]

you want to hurt us, dont you?

I’m looking for someone to help clean up or remake my Skyblock generator Skript. Most of it is already set up, but it has some errors and outdated stuff.

What the Skript needs to do:
• Working generators with levels
• Upgrade system with costs
• Custom blocks per level
• GUI to upgrade/buy generators
• Commands like /gen shop and /gen limit
• Fully compatible with the latest Skript version

I can send the full file and explain anything needed. I just need someone to make it fully working and stable.
Dm if you are intrested

[solid cargo]

to save space i name my functions a(), b(), c() and so on. programmers are so spoiled today by assuming everyone has an excellent internet connection!
and same goess with class names. i call them A, B, C, D, E, F, G [...], AA, AB, AC [...], AAA, AAB and so on!
we MUST save space! for the turtles!

[shadow pumice]

Hey! i wana use player.setSpectatorTarget(); but how do i target an armor stand thats placed in the world?

I made sure the armor stand exists and the code recognizes its existence, but for some reason it wont make me spectate it

[drowsy helm]

Can we see your code

Also the player is definitely in spectator mode right

[shadow pumice]

wait sorry, what website do u use to send codes here

also turns out it works, the issue is the player is moving freely although they are spectating the armor stand

[shadow pumice]

OMG turns out the issue is no delay.. i did the event as soon as they joined, so i added a 20 tick delay and it works!!

[umbral ridge]

[wet breach]

nice job in figuring it out 🙂

[shadow pumice]

tyy! and sorry to bother again, is there a way to disable this? i wana completely remove it from my game
idk if its client or server side

[chrome beacon]

clientside

[summer scroll]

I think it's clientside, you can disable the teleport using PlayerTeleportEvent.

[wet breach]

lmao

[cinder abyss]

Hello, how can I do versioning checks with the future update going to year.x instead of 1.x.x ??

(I want to support both)

My actual system split the Bukkit#getVersion to the corresponding parts, but I want to make it support latest version too, and that year.x will always be earlier than 1.x.x

I was wondering if someone here made a system for this

[slender elbow]

if (version.startswith("1."))
old as fuck
else
fancy new

[cinder abyss]

what if minecraft get released in the 19s 🤓

[slender elbow]

wat

[cinder abyss]

okay thanks, that seems logical lol

[weak wasp]

You technically don't even need to change anything, 1 will always be less than 2025 and beyond, so your current logic should still work...

[sacred mountain]

noo

i wont get my 1.50.2

I hope that every sock you put on will be slightly rotated just enough for it to be uncomfortable

May your tea be too hot when you receive it, and too cold when you remember it is there

May you always step in a wet spot after putting on fresh socks

May both sides of your pillow be warm

May your article load that tiny extra little bit so when you are about to click on a link you click an ad instead

And finally may your toes always find their way to the corners of your table

Since when is repo.md-5.net taken down?

[quaint basin]

I'm making a house plugin, and people who aren't added to a house can't interact with it. Does anyone have a list of events I need to cancel? For example, blockbreakevent, placeevent, etc., but there are many more

[young knoll]

PlayerInteractEvent for opening doors and such

EntityDamageByEntityEvent if you want to protect mobs

[quaint basin]

There's probably more

[wet breach]

you can take a look at towny to see what events they use

since your plugin is something similar to what that does

or even a plots plugin

[quaint basin]

So should I check for the right_click_block action only?

[wet breach]

Well, the overworld can't be unloaded so do you mean other worlds that are loaded or do you just mean the server?

[quaint basin]

I'm asking how to obtain the lifespan of a world, if that's even possible

[umbral ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/david-lynch-shaking-hands-david-lynch-magical-hands-hands-gif-24813269

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#getGameTime()

[quaint basin]

If the world is loaded, unloaded, and then loaded again, will its lifespan be counted from the last time it was loaded?

[native gale]

The question. Let's say I use some library from Maven via Spigot's library loader, and it does something like this internally: private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ApiRequest.class); and then vomits all errors, including all thrown exceptions, caught or uncaught,and their stacktraces in there. Is there a way to respectfully tell it to shut the fuck up and stop littering the logs? The standard solution is to put something in log4j2.xml to supress them, but on plugin level I don't have such level of control. For some reason Configurator.setLevel("com.example.www.client.ApiRequest", Level.OFF) also does virtually nothing (I don't know why, by the way, probably related to how classes are loaded and spigots logging implementation?). The library authors are not responsive. So what am I supposed to do?

[umbral ridge]

oni chan

[thorn isle]

the lifespan is incremented by 1 every time the server ticks and that world is loaded

[quaint basin]

I think this is to see if it's day or night no?

[thorn isle]

that is different as that can be changed by sleeping; this is absolute

[quaint basin]

Won't this cause an overflow?

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#getFullTime()

[thorn isle]

not in a very long time

[quaint basin]

What is the difference between fullTime and gameTime?

[thorn isle]

keep in mind that one tick is 50 milliseconds

and we also use long for milliseconds (unix time)

the universe will implode before you overflow long gametime

[wet breach]

game time does not reset. It increments everytime it is loaded

fullTime increments when world is loaded but resets when its unloaded

[quaint basin]

oh, i want game time

thanks

Actually, I want full-time

Does World#getFullTime return hours * 1000?

[wet breach]

pretty sure its in ticks

but you can always do a comparison by retrieving the milliseconds time from the system clock

well I guess that wouldn't work lmao

well, it should be in ticks since that is what the server uses generally

[sullen marlin]

Don't think library loader is a relevant part of this question? Is the other library actually using log4j

[native gale]

I do not actually know if it is relevant or not, I just assumed. Also, sorry, it uses slf4j for logging, so my initial question might have been a bit misleading

But Spigot's library loader still loads Log4j, because it is in the list of runtime dependencies (albeit this dependency is optional). Whether it is used or not, I have no idea, honestly. All these loggers confuse me a lot. I do not understand why they are so complicated in Java

[wet breach]

java -Dlog4j.configurationFile=(location of log4j config file) -jar

This sets the system property for log4j which is the highest precendence or order in which log4j looks for a configuration file

So setting this and creating a log4j config file it should override all external jars that use log4j

[native gale]

Well, yes, but it's not good for a plugin to tell how to run someone's logging config files

It's actually also bad for library to vomit debug data into the logs either, but muh

[wet breach]

well it depends on your scenario really. Generally it is usually enough to delete the log4j config file from the offending jar

the solution I gave is one where you wouldn't need to worry about such things or always having to check

[orchid gazelle]

Sup guys, I've got some technical question.
How possible/realistic is it to unload the main world and load a test world temporarily(without much overhead if possible!) via plugin?
Looking to build some benchmarking and stresstesting tool

[thorn isle]

i don't think the main world is unloadable

[orchid gazelle]

what if you unload all chunks tho?

[thorn isle]

you can't explicitly unload all chunks, but i suppose you can teleport all players out

from there you do still have things like force-loaded chunks through commands, though

[orchid gazelle]

The goal is to create different test scenarios where stuff like villages or rooms of entities are generated. Would you generate the location for all of them on one world and just put them on widely different coordinates or how would you do it?

[thorn isle]

benchmarking entities is a bit difficult due to things like the entity activation range and also because entity ticking doesn't strictly follow chunk ticking

[orchid gazelle]

For example:
Room 1 -> Village
Room 2 -> Redstone Machine
Room 3 -> Entity Benchmark

[young knoll]

Pretty sure when Mojang does gametests they just have them spread around a flat world

[thorn isle]

just loading the chunk isn't enough; for many things a player needs to actually be near the entities for them to do the things they usually do

[orchid gazelle]

void would probably make more sense no?

[orchid gazelle]

then tp the executing player to it?

[thorn isle]

you can do that, sure

[orchid gazelle]

and lock them or sth

because having them flying around and doing stuff would manipulate the score

[thorn isle]

i'd probably go with test-per-world, or maybe mojangs test instance block is a better way of doing it, but i have no idea how those work

[orchid gazelle]

wdym by test-per-world?

[young knoll]

I believe they operate on redstone

[thorn isle]

test-per-world is nice because you can re-run the same test by just re-loading the world from a copy of the save file

i suppose i'm thinking more along the lines of unit testing though

[orchid gazelle]

oh so you mean prepare some synthetic void world with the required test rooms and then have the plugin load the world, unload everything else it can, tp player, lock player

[thorn isle]

i'd go to the extent of having one test room per world, hence test per world

[orchid gazelle]

so every scenario has a different world

[thorn isle]

le modularity

either way probably works

[orchid gazelle]

would you actually prepare them or would you make the plugin generate it?

[thorn isle]

depends

[orchid gazelle]

bc world size may be large (maybe)

[thorn isle]

i could see myself copying a laggy player base from a live production server as a worldedit schematic and using that as a test case

[orchid gazelle]

interesting

so prepare schematic, generate world on-the-fly, paste schem

[thorn isle]

also works, though i was thinking more along the lines of pasting the schematic into an empty world, shipping that world with the benchmark plugin, and then loading that world during benchmarks

[orchid gazelle]

ah ok

[thorn isle]

pasting schematics is also very flexible but the benchmarks might not be as fully reproducible as actually re-loading a world

[orchid gazelle]

yeah will have to see how large the world files may end up

aight I think I know more now, thanks for you interesting viewpoints 👍

[thorn isle]

💪

[snow harbor]

I have a question: is there an API that allows me to tell if a player is logged in with an account or offline? I'm creating a login plugin, and any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

[young knoll]

No idea how plugins handle that

You can hit the Mojang api to see if a name is valid, but offline players can just use the name of real accounts

[thorn isle]

consider using an existing plugin like fastlogin instead of homebrewing it

getting it to work properly is something of a trade secret, and doing it yourself is an easy way to expose yourself to "forcelogin" exploits

[young knoll]

Alternatively, consider online mode

[rotund ravine]

Lol not really

But yeah fastlogin has it in an easy to use api if ur lazy https://github.com/TuxCoding/FastLogin

Oof no actual java coding it sounds like

[thorn isle]

the skript backend developer

[umbral ridge]

well

that is a new keyword

volatile

kinda useful :D

[worldly ingot]

It's seldom useful unless you're making some serious multi-threaded code

There's a small performance overhead with volatile keywords as well, so you know, don't go labelling everything as volatile and calling it thread-safe :p

[turbid oxide]

?

[buoyant viper]

could try hitting the UUID instead i think

ah wait offline mode uses diff uuids doesnt it

[worldly ingot]

v3 UUIDs, yes

[buoyant viper]

oh no i meant arent they literally just not the regular UUID of the player

[worldly ingot]

Yes, they're v3 UUIDs

[buoyant viper]

arent mojang uuids v3

[worldly ingot]

v4, random

v3 is based on input

I believe Minecraft uses like "OfflinePlayer" + playername and generates a UUID from that

[buoyant viper]

ye

[worldly ingot]

Or something to that effect

[buoyant viper]

its either +playername or +uuid string

something like that

[wet breach]

not only random but they also verify it is not a duplicate

[wet breach]

you are correct, the UUID is generated from the username

one of the few things that has not changed

[rotund ravine]

Playername

The uuid isn’t generated yet brother

[buoyant viper]

well

i mean

[buoyant viper]

not entirely true

the player-provided uuid couldve been here

but yeah it would have to be playername for persistence sake

otherwise offline players would have a new identity every launch

[rotund ravine]

Says it’s unused in the protocol page 🤪

[buoyant viper]

unused

but it does exist

[compact haven]

some things never change

[wet breach]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/how-uuid-is-generated-for-offline-mode-nicknames.347835/

at the end md_5 gives how it is created in offline mode

for the UUID's specifically

So, case matters apparently which I had forgotten about

[compact haven]

Huh, I actually didn't know we used anything other than type 4

[wet breach]

Well, have to use something else because offline mode doesn't contact mojang servers for the UUID of the player and since servers can go from offline to online, it would cause conflicts if the server was generating v4 uuid's as there is no guarantee they are the same as that of what mojang generated for the player in question.

[zealous osprey]

there's also the situation with GSON where volatile variables will not be serialized, iirc.
But havn't used GSON in ages, so take this with a grain of salt

[worldly ingot]

That would be transient variables

Not volatile

[zealous osprey]

It is not recognised, not sure if the version is old / new

I’m on 1.21.10 though

[robust helm]

You need the spigot dependency for getHandle AFAIK

Like instead of spigot-api you need spigot, or maybe u need both im not sure

In your build.gradle or pom.xml file

[west orbit]

are you saying what i tried above should work

[thorn isle]

if you have the spigot (not spigot-api) dependency, possibly yes

[west orbit]

ive used the jar

ive also tried adding the link as a repository like so:

doesnt seem to work

[eternal oxide]

you can't use teh jar

?bootstrap

[undone axle]

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

hello, i have a problem with sending a player to another server with with velocity
I have this method:

public static void sendToServer(JavaPlugin plugin, Player player, String targetServer) {
        ByteArrayDataOutput out = ByteStreams.newDataOutput();
        out.writeUTF("Connect");
        out.writeUTF(targetServer);

        player.sendPluginMessage(
                plugin,
                "velocity:player",
                out.toByteArray()
        );
    }

and I make sure that I register the channel on start getServer().getMessenger().registerOutgoingPluginChannel(this, "velocity:player");

but it doesn't seam to send the player to another server, + I know the name of the targeted server is the right one

[young knoll]

Sir this is spigot

[pliant fog]

yes ? this channel claims to support bungeecord as well so I thought i could get help with that because velocity can use bungeecord messaging

[young knoll]

Yes but velocity isn’t made by us

Nor is it even a fork of bungee

[thorn isle]

i think you have to manually enable the bungeecord messaging channel in the velocity config

paper must deprecate everything they touch so it's disabled by default iirc

[eternal night]

you do not

Is that a default thing

points to this but it seems fine in my IDE?

[echo basalt]

I'll assume it's one of those things that your IDE indexes out of nowhere but maven fails to find

and/or java versison related

and/or ide plugin

[slender elbow]

frankly, with display entities, i'd just use real ones and use the API rather than trying to handle fake ones myself

wat

just use the spigot api

and Player#showEntity works perfectly fine

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Entity.html#setVisibleByDefault(boolean)
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#showEntity(org.bukkit.plugin.Plugin,org.bukkit.entity.Entity)
is all you need

[lilac dagger]

just do it bungee way

it'll work on velocity too

they have bungee support as far as i know

[slender elbow]

then spawn two display entities, one for each player!

display entities are dirt cheap

their tick method is barely two lines of code !

[thorn isle]

It's best to be mindful still, the entity tracker is kind of horrible

[lilac dagger]

i have custom armor stand which i replaced tick method with basic math

[slender elbow]

if you're going to DIY entities you're probably going to be doing a worse job if you don't know what you're up against

[thorn isle]

I had to rewrite an image map plugin to spoof the entities over packets because the thousands of entities in the tracker, even if they didn't tick at all, were slowing down the tracker itself

[lilac dagger]

they still appear in the timings report

[thorn isle]

But yeah for something like this, the api is probably fine

It's just that it will scale n^2; 100 players will now have 100 entities that are each checked for tracking by 100 players

[lilac dagger]

don't they have chunk view players ?

if an entity is in a chunk and a player can view that chunk it'll only then apply tracking logic

[thorn isle]

I mean yeah, I meant if 100 players are in range

[lilac dagger]

oh good

[thorn isle]

Like if it's a crate or something at spawn, where you expect a lot of players

And if you have 5 crates now it's 500 entities checked for tracking by 100 players

For a total of 50,000 canSee checks per tick

That said, start with the api; you can pretty easily migrate it over to nms if you actually need to

[slender elbow]

the vast majority of which is an early bail-out, at that point you'd also have to worry about all the regular entities with ai and goals players are going to spawn, farms, random ticks etc

get the job done first, profile second and if it happens to be a performance concern then you can take action

[thorn isle]

It's an uuid set iirc, and if the player has any toggled visibilities (they will since this crate is nearby) it'll have to hash the uuid and index into the map

[slender elbow]

oh no, hashing two longs

[thorn isle]

I at one point experimented with flattening the map to use a long[] instead of an uuid[] since it seemed that dereferencing was making up the most of it

[slender elbow]

not my 3 cpu cycles

[thorn isle]

Yeah, things do add up in bulk

Granted, this was with like thousands of entities near 20ish players all at the same time, so it's not quite the same scale

But it was getting to the point where the tracker was eating up more tick time than ticking normal entities

In the end I ended up rewriting the entity tracker to update on events, rather than polling every tick

So e.g. entities are added to the tracked set when the player comes within view distance of the chunk they're in

And vice versa

No clue why spottedleaf le Mr. Multithreading doesn't do this by base; checking every entity every tick for an exact distance is 🇧 tarded

so i need holograms for my plugin (an updating multi line hologram above custom blocks) would it be more recommended for me to use an existing hologram api such as decent holograms or handle the holograms myself in the plugin?

[eternal oxide]

Text Display entities are easy to use

[thorn isle]

pick your poison

text displays support multilines and you can update them on a whim

decentholograms has built-in placeholderapi support and other convenient features

personally i wouldn't bother with hooking into it if it's just a simple hologram you update manually

i think you might have to load it manually instead of using the convenience method on plugin

as in, get the file and YamlConfiguration::load

[young knoll]

Does getConfig just swallow the exceptions?

[thorn isle]

it catches them and prints them

or not getConfig probably, but reloadConfig/saveDefaultConfig

[zealous scroll]

does anyone know what an optimized way to animate an item's name? I want to show rainbow animated item names for players, both for items in their inventory contents (armor, contents) and open uis (chests, etc).

i don't mind it being packet-based or whatever approach, just wanna know if somebody already thought of an optimized way to do this without tanking my tps

[silver robin]

Not the answer you're looking for since I doubt it's worth doing that, perhaps i could recommend static rainbow/chroma item name like the minimessage <gradient> or <rainbow>?

[sly topaz]

can you even do it packet-based nowadays with all the hashed item stacks shenanigans

feels like it can turn into a ghost item at any given moment for something like animated names

[sly topaz]

have you tried the simplest approach first to see how it performs?

simplest approach would be to bake all possible item animations into their own ItemStack instances, then just cycle through them in the inventory (that will animate it inside the inventory view and the item name bar/action bar)

[zealous scroll]

I ended up doing it with core shaders

[sly topaz]

this is of course more or less complicated depending on what items you're aiming to animate, given if it is on with durability then you'll have to account for the item changing as well

[sly topaz]

ah, that's a good approach

wish it was more compatible with mods so people could use it more reliably, people do really cool stuff with core shaders

I've seen animated chat with it too

[thorn isle]

the client has no control over what happens on the server side, unless it's in creative

the hashed item stacks are used on the server side only to determine whether to send a slot update packet or not

before, the server actually used a complete copy of the item; now it's just a hash

doing this via packets is sort of doable, but there are a number of packets you'll have to filter, and it won't work at all for things like [item] embeddings in chat

core shaders is probably the more reliable way of doing it

[chrome beacon]

Yeah that's the way to go about it ^^

[thorn isle]

the event perhaps fires before the player is added to the world?

although you are delaying it by a few ticks; not sure how that works with async chunk loads

[chrome beacon]

Yeah that's not the Spigot API you're using there

Head over to the Paper discord (or even the Purpur one for that matter...)

or if you know the key you create the namespacedkey directly i guess

Do you know if this method loads the chunk before placing the structure?

We have custom spawners in the structure files, which then get setted using a custom datapack, but some of the spawners dont get setted due to some chunks not being loaded (the custom spawners get setted after loading the structure)

[lone swift]

Not really, it just makes a /execute for every spawner if the markers are there

[sullen marlin]

But what's the trigger for that execute

[lone swift]

It is executed via code after all structures have been placed

Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), PluginMain.getInstance().getConfigFile().getConfig().getString("spawners_command", "execute as @e[type=minecraft:marker,tag=eds_center] at @s run function eds:spawners/define"));

[sullen marlin]

I'm not sure there's any guarantee that they'll stay loaded after being placed? (Although I'd expect them to for one tick)

[lone swift]

Inside AsyncScheduler:

Bukkit.getAsyncScheduler().runAtFixedRate

[sullen marlin]

Spigot has no such method

[lone swift]

True, forget that, but yeah, doing tests it only gets the spawners changed in the chunks near the player only

If I generate more structures close to the players, all of the spawners get correctly updated

But the code won’t run

[grizzled fox]

the plugin so far that works changes the recipe for netherite but that is where my understanding is limited to right now

just learn the fundamentals of programming i guess, then the api, the rest will come from alone

or change to java if you can not find any tutorials or AI actually

AI doesn't know anything for sure, it can help debug, but if you go too far, then you're essentially going to be reviewing someone else's code for a long while, which is arguably more painful

[cloud perch]

Skill issue ≠ AI issue

It should be good enough to fix a 20 line class

Of course, confidently

just enable web search and for 90% of beginner tasks, frontier models will get it correct first try

and use something actually intended for coding like gpt-5.1-codex

[cloud perch]

See he gets it

[thorn isle]

but yes, it's not very good for learning

it's essentially a spoonfeed-me-forever machine

once you do hit something it can't do first second or third try, you're fucked

[short pilot]

I'd like to say AI is confidently incorrect

[young knoll]

Does gpt-5 not web search by default

[short pilot]

Everything web searches now

[cloud perch]

Pretty sure it does

[thorn isle]

gpt-5 is a model, whether it web searches or not depends on the client you're using it through

[short pilot]

the plugin so far that works changes the

[young knoll]

The website

[thorn isle]

there are 500 websites that work as clients to llm providers

i assume you mean chatgpt; in which case, dunno, i haven't used it since like 2022 or whenever it was first released

[young knoll]

How many of those 500 websites steal your data

[cloud perch]

All

[thorn isle]

probably all of them, even some of the locally hosted ones

[thorn isle]

i do know that the openai api playground and the api in general don't retain your data beyond like 30 days, but they still store them for the 30 days for moderation and detecting abuse

the same is mostly true for other providers

[wet breach]

everything you need is inside your house

[thorn isle]

there are some "anonymizers" like venice that promise to scramble your requests and not log anything, but i wouldn't trust them

[short pilot]

You should all just expect in this day and age, everything you do is given to someone else

[cloud perch]

Have you guys tried gemini I've heard it's peak

The new model

[thorn isle]

which one

i think opus 4.5 is currently at the top of the leaderboard

[cloud perch]

I forgot what it's called

[young knoll]

Does this one still suggest I eat rocks

I like rocks

[cloud perch]

Yk it be creating story books and shi with images

[thorn isle]

the recently released gpt5.2 beats gemini 3 by a little bit

but opus 4.5 is still at the top

[wet breach]

this has always been the case. In the US ISP's are required to store metadata for a number of years

has been like this since like the 90's or something

[thorn isle]

5.2 is also much better with longer context windows than 5.1

in my experience 5.1 gets very dumb very quickly past 60-70k tokens

5.2 stays mostly coherent up to i'd say 120-130k

it is a little bit more expensive though, and there's no codex variant, at least yet

[cloud perch]

So what's your top goto model

[thorn isle]

for now, gpt-5.1-codex-max for coding; 5.2 for other things

opus is too expensive

[cloud perch]

How much is it?

[thorn isle]

occasionally the more recent deepseek versions like 3.2; they are kind of shit, but they are useful in that they don't hide the reasoning tokens like openai does

Model              Base Input Tokens    5m Cache Writes    1h Cache Writes    Cache Hits & Refreshes    Output Tokens
Claude Opus 4.5    $5 / MTok            $6.25 / MTok       $10 / MTok         $0.50 / MTok              $25 / MTok

about 3-5 times the price of 5.2

[cloud perch]

Well would you say it's worth it

[thorn isle]

no, that's why i said it's too expensive

maybe for some very specific very difficult tasks

it is a decent bit better than 5.2, but 5 attempts with 5.2 is usually cheaper and better than one with opus 4.5

[cloud perch]

I see

[thorn isle]

it's also quite slow

Are there events in the API to deal with structure gen? How does the generation of the elytra item frame work?

[mortal vortex]

What are you trying to do?

I think there’s ChunkPopulateEvent but that’s after the structure is generated.

[young knoll]

There is a https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/world/AsyncStructureGenerateEvent.html

Pretty sure the item frame is just an entity saved in the structure file

[desert aspen]

how can i spawn a dragon breath cloud?

[worldly ingot]

They're area effect clouds with custom particles iirc

Yes, it is. This is NMS:

EntityAreaEffectCloud entityareaeffectcloud = new EntityAreaEffectCloud(this.level(), this.getX(), this.getY(), this.getZ());
Entity entity = this.getOwner();

if (entity instanceof EntityLiving) {
    entityareaeffectcloud.setOwner((EntityLiving) entity);
}

entityareaeffectcloud.setParticle(Particles.DRAGON_BREATH);
entityareaeffectcloud.setRadius(3.0F);
entityareaeffectcloud.setDuration(600);
entityareaeffectcloud.setRadiusPerTick((7.0F - entityareaeffectcloud.getRadius()) / (float) entityareaeffectcloud.getDuration());
entityareaeffectcloud.setPotionDurationScale(0.25F);
entityareaeffectcloud.addEffect(new MobEffect(MobEffects.INSTANT_DAMAGE, 1, 1));

You would have to do something similar using Bukkit API

[thorn isle]

i didn't realize we could make them use arbitrary particle effects

we need a smoke bomb potion

[short pilot]

trying to replace the item frame with a vault, I'm testing out an idea for per player elytras I wanna implement

[thorn isle]

how about using the entity visibility api to make the item frame visible/harvestable per-player

that seems a bit more vanilla-aligned, although i guess it could be confusing if you're playing with a friend and both break the "same" item frame

[young knoll]

Would be easier to just edit the structure file with a datapack

They posted the same thing in #help-server

sorry guys

im using end crystals as "spotlights", i use hashmaps to store them and im trying to store the data as a file when the server restarts then load it back when the server is back on, the spotlights work fine until the server comes back on, the commands give the correct feedback like: "spotlight targeted", "spotlight deleted", etc, but they don't actually move or get deleted

[thorn isle]

make sure the chunks don't unload in between you creating and using the spotlights

that will invalidate the entity reference you hold onto

[dry forum]

well they get created immedeitly when the server starts but ive done things very similar to this quite a few times before and never had an issue

do i need to load the chunk then make it or sm?

Hello, is there no ClickEvent to call a own function? Like i want to send a player to a different server when he clicks a text.
Players can't execute /server on my server and i also don't want to make a command just for that.

[slender elbow]

use a ClickEventCustom, and listen to the PlayerCustomClickEvent for the callback

with the same id of course

[shell lintel]

Okay, yeah that seems to work thanks

[thorn isle]

this reminds me

what's the intended way of opening links from a dialog

ideally without having to change the dialog type itself

[slender elbow]

like, with a button?

a static dialog action with an open_url click event

[thorn isle]

right, makes sense

although i don't see a way of even adding action buttons to a dialog

there are inputs and there are bodies

the number and positions of the action buttons seem to be fixed by the dialog type? e.g. confirmation dialog has a confirm and decline action button at the top

i'm not too familiar with dialogs and the api being split into a billion RegistryConfigurerFactoryBuilderConsumer and disconnected interfaces is making discovery challenging

okay, looking at the actual wiki, there's a multi-action dialog type

[pseudo hazel]

yeah buttons only go at the bottom and are determined by the dialog type

[slender elbow]

idk i never tried anything with dialogs lol i just scour the javadoc

[young knoll]

I’ve seen an entire keyboard in a dialog

So you must be able to have quite a few buttons

[fathom fable]

https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-yeets-gif-13056577994028424832

[pseudo hazel]

yeah you can use a multi-action or whatever tf its called and add a bunch of buttons there

its just that you cant have any body or input below the buttons

[scenic wraith]

hello! can you help me? recently i uploaded a plugin (i am not sure if i am allowed to share name, so i wont for now), which have description with images and when i placed them they were working perfectly, but after some time they turn like this

Probably too large

[thorn isle]

are they from discord

discord invalidates image links after a time period, you can't really hotlink to discord images

[scenic wraith]

Nope, 3 of them are 250x140 and they work for time, and then go away

At first were, I changed it from a site that makes image to link and it says its forever, anyway how else to make the image to link...

I see. I am trying to make a simple fireball thingy. I am curious is it is possible to summon the fire ball 2 blocks on op of the player and to put a cooldown on this thing. Here is what I have so far.

    public void onPlayerUse(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR &&
                event.getAction() != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) {
            return;
        }

        Player player = event.getPlayer();

        if (player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getType() != Material.BLAZE_POWDER) {
            return;
        }

        Fireball fireball = player.launchProjectile(Fireball.class);

        fireball.setYield(30F);
        fireball.setIsIncendiary(false);
        fireball.setVelocity(player.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(0.1));
        fireball.setIsIncendiary(false);
        fireball.setAcceleration(player.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(1));
    }
}

[thorn isle]

iirc to fire it from a different location, rather than doing launchProjectile, you have to spawn it directly with World::spawn, which accepts a Location to spawn it at, and set the appropriate velocity and projectile source yourself after having spawned it

for cooldowns, you'd typically use a Map<UUID,Long> from player id -> last used timestamp; set it to System.currentTimeMillis(), and compare against the current time in the listener; if fewer than x milliseconds have passed, do nothing

a more modern way of doing it is to set an item cooldown with i think Player::setCooldown(ItemStack) and check if the item is on cooldown in the listener; this is the same system as what's used by ender pearls and other vanilla items with cooldowns, and will render a nice cooldown bar for the cooling-down items on the client

[desert venture]

I see I will try to see if I can do that

the gamerule announceAdvancements got renamed to show_advancement_messages in 1.21.11. How can I make my plugin disable the gamerule when its running on 1.21.10 where the show_advancement_messages doesnt exist if im making my plugin using the 1.21.11 API?

[pseudo hazel]

you cant

[quaint mantle]

wdym you cant

[pseudo hazel]

your api version should be from the lowest version you support

[quaint mantle]

so like from 1.21.1?

[pseudo hazel]

if thats what you support then yes

or make separate jars

[quaint mantle]

i want to support stuff like 1.21.10 and 1.21.11 so

[quaint mantle]

thats too much work

[pseudo hazel]

the plugin will run on those versions but you cant really use new api

afaik

[quaint mantle]

so instead of using 1.21.11-R0.1-SNAPSHOT in my pom.xml as a dependency, what should I use?

im sorry im new to plugin dev 😭

[pseudo hazel]

the lowest version you support

this is mostly for api_version

or whatever its called in plugin.yml

tbf i havent done spigot in quite a bit

[quaint mantle]

yeah API version

but would it be like 1.21-R0.1-SNAPSHOT or 1.21-R0.1?

isnt snapshot there because the 1.21.11 is a new version of minecraft?

[pseudo hazel]

try changing just that and see if it works

[quaint mantle]

got it

thanks man

[pseudo hazel]

no snapshot does not mean minecraft snapshot

a snapshot is just a release

                @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
                GameRule<T> typed = (GameRule<T>) rule;

    }```

"Optional<GameRule<Boolean>> newRule = get("show_advancement_messages", Boolean.class);"
"Optional<GameRule<Boolean>> oldRule = get("announceAdvancements", Boolean.class);"

Idk if this would work but you can try

[quaint mantle]

ill try once

[young knoll]

It’s likely spigot will remap the old gamerule constants if your plugin is running on 1.21.11

[tranquil pecan]

and then use
"world.setGameRule(oldRule.get(), false);" or "world.setGameRule(newRule.get(), false);"

[quaint mantle]

yeah it should

im trying it rn

[quaint mantle]

it worked

it mapped the constant

i mean i do have 32 gb of ram

whats the problem then 😭

idont want intelli just because then it sucks to switch between vscode and intellij when you're working on client/server website stack

webstorm's support of web frameworks is a joke

[quaint mantle]

i did notice @NonNull didnt work when I switched from 1.21.11 to 1.21 API, i think it depends on the API version too because I had to use @NotNull after switching

hover on the yellow thing

itll tell you to add something like @NonNull or @NotNull

just click the quick fix and itll add it
