This is stressing me out though

#

Just the fact it isn't consistent

chrome beacon
#

Could you get us the entire stacktrace

#

And relevant code

DuelKits 50 is DuelKit defaultKit = new DuelKit("Default", Material.IRON_SWORD);

Could you share your DuelKit class

Hi guys! I'm having an issue cancelling the block action packet for a double chest. I have a print going to console to let me know that the code passed all the conditions, and it works perfectly for a single chest, but not a double. Here's the code: https://pastes.dev/0CDg8Wy7Y1
I was told to cancel the packet for both sides of the chest but I don't know exactly how to do that. Help please!

pastes

a simple pastebin.

chrome beacon
#

Just add the location of the other side of the double chest to your vanishManager

#

You can check the block state if it's a double chest or not

potent atlas
#

I'm sorry, I still don't get it

mortal vortex
# potent atlas I'm sorry, I still don't get it

(I havent read the code I'm just basing my answer off what Olivo said - assuming what the issue is)

A double chest is really two chests. You're only interfacing with the one chest; you can determine if a chest is double based on its blockstate, from this you can determine the position of the adjacent chest, to also interface with this.

potent atlas
#

Yep I know that, but don't get how

mortal vortex
#

for a double chest to work, it must be placed facing the same direction as the other chest, with this knowledge in mind, you can say for certainty a chest cannot be behind, above, below, or in front of another chest to be a double chest, your directions are left and right.

wet breach
#

it usually tells you the direction of the second chest in relation to the one being accessed

mortal vortex
#

I think you can do:

InventoryHolder holder = block.getState().getInventory().getHolder();

and cast holder to a Double Chest?

potent atlas
#

Well what about double chest.getLeft() and getRight()?

wet breach
#

you can always do the old fashion route too

#

but also, is there a particular reason you need to do this with packets?

mortal vortex
potent atlas
#

yes I tried that

wet breach
#

getLeft and getRight should return a holder, which you can get coords from

potent atlas
#

Yep

wet breach
#

don't have the docs up so can't say for certain

mortal vortex
# 
Chest chest = (Chest) block.getState();
InventoryHolder holder = chest.getInventory().getHolder();

if (holder instanceof DoubleChest) {

    DoubleChest doubleChest = (DoubleChest) holder;
    Chest leftSide = (Chest) doubleChest.getLeftSide();
    Chest rightSide = (Chest) doubleChest.getRightSide();
    
    Location leftPos = leftSide.getLocation();
    Location rightPos = rightSide.getLocation();
...

Is this not right?

potent atlas
#

yeah I did that

mortal vortex
#

Yeah? It would've worked

#

try logging their positions

potent atlas
#

It didn't work

mortal vortex
#

And what does that mean? Can you try logging it

wet breach
#

you should verify your code is in fact correct by having it spit out the coords of those objects

#

its very easy to use the incorrect holder

potent atlas
#

Yep

#

Did all that

#

The lid still opens

mortal vortex
#

visually? does the GUI open?

wet breach
#

oh, you want the animation to not happen

mortal vortex
#

thats probably client side bs tho

potent atlas
#

both

#

Yeah I want to cancel the animation

#

I don't know why it works for every other container

mortal vortex
#

Im confused, you want the GUI to open but not the animation?

If you want neither to happen, then just cancel the event, the animation will never play?

potent atlas
#

I want the GUI to open

mortal vortex
#

Okay, so is the opening animation happening for both the chests, or just one of them?

potent atlas
#

both sides

mortal vortex
#

Can you show your full implementation of how you're doing it?

#

With the double chest logic

potent atlas
#

Deleted :/

mortal vortex
#

can you give the full context atleast, the parent class?

potent atlas
#

I'm not sure what you want to see. Vanish manager?

mortal vortex
#

Yeah

potent atlas
#

Ok

mortal vortex
#

I have no idea what ur code is doing

potent atlas
#

Ok one sec

mortal vortex
# 
if (vanishManager.containsLocation(location)) {

have u checked if it actually contains the location?

#

maybe log ; "left chest <pos> <boolean; is it in the vanishManager>. right chest <pos> <bool>"

potent atlas
#

Yep did all that

wet breach
#

this should cause the chest to not open but the gui to still open

#

keep in mind if the GUI needs to be tied to the chest in question you will have to handle that yourself when the player closes the inventory etc

potent atlas
#

Does that mean tracking changes?

#

That's vanish manager, you can see I store the player and location so I can check if that player is in vanish mode

wet breach
#

well yes, because technically the GUI inventory doesn't exist or isn't tied to a specific block.

#

in order to do what you are wanting

#

so instead of using the chests inventory to house the GUI, you have a generic inventory held in memory instead

potent atlas
#

what happens when multiple people are making changes at the same time?

wet breach
#

depends how you coded it. There can be separate views of the same inventory(means everyone can see the same thing and see changes) or seperate views with seperate inventories(everyone sees the same inventory, but the inventories are all different instances so changes done are unique to that player)

#

but yeah, shouldn't be hard to do what you are wanting. Just when it comes to your event handler, instead of putting cancel event at the end of the method

#

you would do it near the beginning of the method, then add some code after to open your GUI

potent atlas
#

I noticed something interesting. It works after the chest was already clicked and closed once

mortal vortex
#

check the order of ur code then

potent atlas
#

I don't think that's it because it only behaves that way for a double chest. I've got an idea though

potent atlas
#

I'm not exactly sure what I did but it works now

mortal vortex
#

so true

potent atlas
#

I changed pairing a location and uuid to a list of pairs

tranquil pecan
#

Why player.setHealth plays damage animation? how can i stop that?

potent atlas
#

I'm getting an error trying to add the player back to tab list after they've been removed

How do I send a TRACKED_WAYPOINT packet with ProtocolLib? I can't find any documentation anywhere and I don't know what to make of this

image.png
#

I tried to do this ```java
PacketContainer packet = protocolManager.createPacket(PacketType.Play.Server.TRACKED_WAYPOINT);

    packet.getIntegers().write(0, 0);

    packet.getUUIDs().write(0, new UUID(0L, 0L));

    packet.getMinecraftKeys().write(0, new MinecraftKey("minecraft", "player"));

    packet.getBooleans().write(0, true);
    packet.getBytes().write(0, (byte) 255);
    packet.getBytes().write(1, (byte) 0);
    packet.getBytes().write(2, (byte) 0);

    packet.getIntegers().write(1, 1);

    Location loc = player.getLocation().clone().add(0, 0, 5);
    packet.getBlockPositionModifier().write(0,
            new BlockPosition(loc.getBlockX(), loc.getBlockY(), loc.getBlockZ()));
echo basalt
#

Look at the NMS class rather than the protocol doc

shadow tide
#

Which class would that be for this? My first instinct is ClientboundTrackedWaypointPacket but I'm not sure what information to gather from that, not to mention it's not even under net.minecraft.server.

shadow tide
#

@echo basalt I've looked around and haven't really found anything helpful

thorn isle
#

the fields of that class are what you pass onto protocollib

#

protocollib doesn't interface with the wire byte-by-byte network protocol itself, which is what mcwiki documents

#

it's essentially just a reflection wrapper over the packet classes

#

the two can differ significantly

shadow tide
#

It's a record that stores an Operation and a TrackedWaypoint

#

not exactly sure how I would send those with the methods available lol

thorn isle
#

if protocollib doesn't have a wrapper type for it, you're kind of fucked

#

consider using packetevents or nms or reflection

#

reflection is relatively alright nowadays without the obfuscation messing it up every version

#

in this case you have these nice static factory methods already that you just pass an uuid + icon + coordinates to, that you can then send with protocollib

shadow tide
#

I can send those packets with protocollib?

#

I tested sending them with nms and it worked

#

I thought I needed to make the packet with protocollib to send it with protocollib

thorn isle
#

you create the packet container with protocollib, then call setHandle with your nms packet

#

and send it via protocollib as usual

#

it cuts a couple of reflective/nms steps

shadow tide
#

Nice

thorn isle
#

and conversely you can do nms stuff on packets intercepted by protocollib by getting and casting getHandle

#

no need to manually inject into the netty pipeline

shadow tide
#

Wait where do I call setHandle? Looks like its only available for the wrappers, not the PacketContainer itself

thorn isle
#

seems to be on the packetcontainer itself

#

oh you said sethandle

#

maybe i misremember; check the constructors maybe

#

myes

#

takes packet type and Object handle

shadow tide
#

Oh I didn't see that one

This appear to be working, thank you!

Guys do you think virtual threads are as good or better than a selector when handling multiple clients on a server?

#

1 virtual thread per client? Or a selector?

lilac dagger
#

i like selector

#

but i'm not sure how they work exactly yet to confirm

#

i use classic sockets

#

and virtual threads myself

inner mulch
#

So selectors are definetely superior in terms of speed?

lilac dagger
#

i haven't used them to confirm that

#

but i like that they're non blocking

#

so you don't need threads/virtual threads

#

i considered them at one point, but i didn't had the time to implement a test to see if i like working with them

#

they work a bit different than classic sockets

inner mulch
#

Okay

slender elbow
#

using selectors on VTs is like chasing a bus with a car, it doesn't make sense
as far as networking goes, VTs turn blocking operations on sockets to non-blocking under the hood to use selectors, you just write synchronous code and forget about it, it's simpler code, simpler to read, write, and reason about, 1 VT per socket is ideal as the whole idea is that they are disposable like that, you don't wanna be caching them or have a pool or anything

lilac dagger
#

oh actually

#

i tried running virtual threads on a infinite loop once and it just stops

#

pretty sure it'll do the same for selectors no?

slender elbow
#

what

lilac dagger
#

this thing

image.png
#

for virtual threads it'd stop

#

it got interrupted at least

slender elbow
#

uh yeah that much doesn't really tell me anything, like how you're creating them or handling them outside; they are forcibly daemon threads tho so that's something to keep in mind

lilac dagger
#

nothing changed tho

#

i used virtual thread instead of thread that's all

#

if no connection could be found it'd loop this for a bit then stops

image.png
slender elbow
#

yeah idk that's not how i'd write such code to begin with so i can't really comment without seeing the whole picture

but line 126 in jinglenote/JingleSequencer.java is throwing an InterruptedException error despite there being error handling there
I'm 100% positive the code isnt bugged because I still have a copy of the jar that works fine so presumably something about the way im building it is screwy but I really have no idea where to even look

anyone know how to do the particle effect of trial chambers?

#

its like many particles travel slowly towards a center and disappear there

#

it exists in the trials chambers but i don't know if there is a way to summon it or use it in a way

fathom fable
# noble current hey

you can’t directly spawn ominous_spawning via commands or Spigot’s Particle API. It’s an internal, server-side particle hard-coded for Trial Chambers logic. There is no public enum, no namespaced particle

#

if im correct

#

what I have found when researching

public static void spawnOminousParticles(World world, Location center) {
    Random random = new Random();

    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
        double radius = 1.5;
        double angle = random.nextDouble() * Math.PI * 2;

        Location spawn = center.clone().add(
            Math.cos(angle) * radius,
            random.nextDouble() * 1.5,
            Math.sin(angle) * radius
        );

        Vector velocity = center.toVector()
            .subtract(spawn.toVector())
            .normalize()
            .multiply(0.03);

        world.spawnParticle(
            Particle.DUST_COLOR_TRANSITION,
            spawn,
            0,
            velocity.getX(),
            velocity.getY(),
            velocity.getZ(),
            new Particle.DustTransition(
                Color.fromRGB(30, 30, 30),
                Color.fromRGB(0, 0, 0),
                1.2f
            )
        );
    }
}
``` (not my code)

or particle dust_color_transition 0.1 0.1 0.1 1 0 0 0 1 ~ ~ ~ 0.6 0.6 0.6 0 80 force

Hello, can anyone help me with coreshaders?
I found a coreshader for text effects. The effect applies based on text opacity (alpha).
I don't understand how to make it work because we cannot use opacity on text in Minecraft (hex codes are usually only 6 chars). However, on the server where I got the shader, they succeeded to make it work.

So i would like to know how can I send a text with a specific alpha/opacity to trigger the shader?

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.

hi, somebody can help me ?

Aspect Annotation API Difference
Initialization O(n) scanning O(1) registration API is faster
Memory O(m + c + s) O(m + s) API slightly lighter
Processing O(1) + reflection O(1) + reflection Identical
Flexibility Limited High API more flexible
Maintenance Automatic Manual Annotation is simpler

i'm making an API for using NATS in the minecraft ecosystem
NATS is a push sub messager
i have done a Java annotation and an another method to subscribe to a NATS subject (like a channel)

@NatsSubscribe("subject")
public void onSubject(String or byte[] data) {
    System.out.println(data);
}

VelocityNatsPlugin.getNatsAPI().subscribeSubject(this,
                    ServerDiscoveryService.class.getDeclaredMethod(
                            "handleServerEvent",
                            byte[].class
            ), pattern, false);

pattern is the subject name
the method is lighter and more configurable than the annotation but not too simple to use
Annotation is mooore simple but cost more in terms of cpu time
what should i do
the problem with the annotation is that i need to scan the whole classpath of plugins loaded
and in @NatsSubscribe("subject"), "subject" needs to be a const, so it isn't configurable

#

what if you print out the location above the getHandle() line? still wrong location?

obtuse rose
thorn isle
#

Doesn't the death event have a location getter? It is generally I'll advised to call getters on the player itself if the event could result in those properties being changed

#

I'd also advise delaying the respawn command to the next tick, or the end of the current tick, as doing that inside an event handler could have unexpected results with things happening out of order

tender shard
#

then it should work

obtuse rose
tender shard
obtuse rose
thorn isle

The respawn command is modifying the player; the location is already defensively cloned in the getter

I changed it to this (with display entities) but its still a bit janky like its very obviously teleporting but idk if it can get any smoother

Make sure to set the teleport duration (iirc) on the display entities

It’s how many ticks to interpolate when it teleports, but it defaults to 0 (no interpolation)

Here is the code:

    {
        if(state == CooldownState.READY)
        {
            sign.getSide(Side.FRONT).setLine(0, ChatColor.GREEN + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "[Click Me]");
            sign.getSide(Side.FRONT).setLine(1, ChatColor.GOLD + "To activate");
            sign.getSide(Side.FRONT).setLine(2, ChatColor.GOLD + "trap!");
        }
        else
        {
            if(state == CooldownState.ALMOAST_READY)
            {
                sign.getSide(Side.FRONT).setLine(0, ChatColor.YELLOW + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "[On Cooldown]");
            }
            else
            {
                sign.getSide(Side.FRONT).setLine(0, ChatColor.DARK_RED + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "[On Cooldown]");
            }
            sign.getSide(Side.FRONT).setLine(1, ChatColor.GOLD + "Please wait");
            sign.getSide(Side.FRONT).setLine(2, ChatColor.GOLD + "to activate!");
        }
        sign.update();
    }```
The function is called 3 times. Immediately, after a short delay, and after a long delay, with each of the 3 cooldownstate enums (ON_COOLDOWN,ALMOST_READY,READY)

The sign doesn't consistently update visually in game almost always for at least one of the events, even though the function is called all 3 times with the right parameters (tested with debug.) And it is different which states the sign is updated to each time. so for example sometimes it would skip straight from the red on cooldown to the green ready (skipping the yellow step), but other times it will skip the green all together and go from the red to the yellow and never turn green. It just isn't consistent. Also, whenever I update the signs, I also update glass to the appropriate color too. **This always works, even when the signs don't.** It's just that the sign visually in game isnt updating, and I don't get why. I tried sign.setWaxed(true), no difference. let me know if you guys have any ideas
#

btw sign is import org.bukkit.block.Sign;

hey is it inteded behavior that players with some entity mounted on them can't teleport?

#

or did I mess up somewhere

buoyant viper
#

or maybe its the passengers dont tp with them

torn shuttle
#

I don't get it

#

I must have written some code that is doing this, surely

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.

tender shard
torn shuttle
#

I don't know what part of it might be doing it

#

at all

tender shard
torn shuttle
#

if I knew what part is relevant in the first place I wouldn't have spent a day trying to figure it out

tender shard
#

Write a tiny command that simply teleports the entity by one block or sth

#

does that work fine? or not?

torn shuttle
#

I patched it for now, I'll have ot investigate it later because I'm getting a new ticket every 30 minutes due to this

tender shard
#

So you fixed it? Great

torn shuttle
#

eeeeh

#

eeeeeeeh

#

sure

#

in a way

tender shard
#

How?

torn shuttle
#

manually removing passengers

tender shard
#

oh

torn shuttle
#

also doesn't really work for all cases

#

idk why

#

whatever

#

it's patched for now I need to do the translation stuff now before the chinese community hunts me dwon even more

tender shard
#

Ugly workaround but if it works, it works ig

#

Looks like the underlying issue is minecraft itself, ig

#

I never had problems teleporting entities that have passengers, maybe you should debug or sth idk

torn shuttle
#

I added a stacktrace to see if it could track what is cancelling it, nope, it can not

#

it just returns cancelled with no further processing on the stacktrace

#

which is cool

tender shard
#

You can try to print out all registered EventHandlers, I'm pretty sure you'll find the culprit there somewhere

torn shuttle
#

I tried doing a search on the codebase for everything that cancels any event and I couldn't find it

#

nor could ai

#

idk man I just want to fix this so I stop getting pinged every 10 seconds

tender shard
torn shuttle
#

only up to the point where I figured out it was passengers causing it, which was pointless anyway because there was no real way to tell that was the bug in the first place, I just had to guess

tender shard
#

but as I already said - if unmounting, TPing, and mounting again solves your issue - that's great, I'd probably do it like that too lmao

Paper recently changed some tp logic

#

Are you running a paper server? 👀

altough I'm also backtesting to 1.21.4, how far back would they have changed this?

SpigotMC maintains the Spigot server. If you are using a fork of Spigot (such as Paper, Airplane, Purpur, or other derivative works), you should seek support in the appropriate Discord servers.

torn shuttle
#

alex do you think I just showed up here 5 minutes ago or something

rotund ravine
#

Not sure i just rmbr seeing something about it

#

But my sense of time is so skewed due to way too many nightshifts

tender shard
#

you haven't even tried debugging properly yet

torn shuttle
#

I debugged it for 1.5 days until I randomly realized it was being caused by passengers, which was completely opaque in debugging

tender shard
#

get spigot, write a minimal plugin that reproduces the problem

#

and then you can file a bug report on ?jira

#

but you seem to only wanna complain all day

#

and that is also how I remember you

#

I am trying to help, but you just keep trying to blame someone for any bug that you encounter

#

idk I don't like that

#

tbh I do the same sometimes

torn shuttle
#

me blaming the world for my problems

image.png
#

I don't even know how you read the messages I sent to come to any of the conclusions you came to right there, I've been doing nothing but debugging for the past couple of days and I just so happen to not have time to sit down and drill down further now that I have a patch because other mission critical things have problems that need to be resolved right now

#

actually it does so happen all of the testing for the last couple of hours was on spigot 1.21.11 so that's definitely not it

#

hm

wet breach
#

as far as I know in regards to teleporting, you need to dismount passengers and then teleport

#

and then remount

#

you can do these things relatively quickly

#

it just has to do with how the teleporting is handled and doesn't factor in passengers, also weird things happen when you try to teleport passengers without dismounting them as well

torn shuttle
#

see that's what I was trying to remember frostalf

#

thing is I swear that wasn't the case for mobs? but I could be misremembering

#

I do vaguely remember something about teleporting mounted entities from 4 years ago

wet breach
#

I believe as long as it was just only entities they should teleport just fine, the issue was when the passengers were players or entities mounted on players

#

since teleporting for entities is not handled the same way as it is with players

#

in the past from what I remember from 1.7 entities technically didn't teleport

#

not sure if that is the case now with uuid's

#

but in the past, technically the entity died and was spawned again lol as far as the internal code was

#

Is there any way to have breakpoints in a plugin? Like see exactly which path of logic is being taken?

#

A plugin, not mine, has a function call in a dozen places, it gets invoked at a certain point, and I'd like to see somehow, which function it is invoked from, if possible

#

or do i need to read the stack trace?

hi, so basically i'm trying to port a plugin which adds tamable foxes from 1.20.1 to 1.21.10. it uses synched entity data in order to hold info about the tame status, i've been able to replace every nms call with the updated one but every time i try to tame one the client get kicked out with "Network Protocol Error". i've nerver used nms so i have no idea of what it could be, if you need the code this is the entity class which implements almost all the logic https://pastes.dev/gzveBwLenJ

What exactly does the error say, anything in client logs about it ?

young knoll
#

Isn’t synced entity data, well, synced?

Why not just use PDC

How do I suppose to retrieve the said tags?

Deprecated. entity groupings are now managed by tags, not categories

Get the category to which this entity belongs. Categories may subject this entity to additional effects, benefits or debuffs.

Hi all, not sure if you guys are following up on this, but my plugin heavily depends on the GameRules and because spigot and paper are apperently using different packages, with the altest 1.21.11 update EVERYONE is having issues

#

I really don't understand why all of a sudden they change this, but the impact is insane ...

chrome beacon
#

Paper has hardforked off Spigot

#

Expect them to diverge even more over time

#

To support both you'll need to either use reflection or use a multimodule setup just like you would with nms

lethal knoll
#

Yes this is what I'm donig now ...

#

But I'm having a hard time setting it up

#

Literally spent the whole night trying to fix it

#

Holy shit it's actually a thing

lethal knoll
#

Yeah, I reworked my entire project already, but didjn't knew about this one, Thanks

#

I just don't like where this is all going that everyone is trying to have their own implementation

#

This is giving the entire developer community a very hard time keeping the plugins compatible ...

At this point just write everything in nms \s 🧠

chrome beacon
#

yeah that's what I was thinking about

lethal knoll
#

Yeah I'm very stuck right now, currently looking into ServiceLoader, not sure if I'm on the right track ...

#

If any tutorials for the multi module setup would be much appreciated

#

I'm not looking to compile for every single minecraft version btw

#

just saying

chrome beacon
#

You can give XSeries a try

#

It's exactly what it's made for

#

(Supporting multiple versions)

lethal knoll
#

Yeah I might be able to do that indeed, but any tutorial would be appreciated, I have to dive into it anyway

#

I really don't want to get hard dependent on XSeries

chrome beacon
#

XSeries can be shaded no problem there

#

but if you want to know how to do it yourself I can guide you through that

# tender shard where/when are you calling that method from?

from another function,

3 times. it is inconsistent which times the sign actually changes, but the function is always called (like if I put message in the function it is always called), and glass always changes.

setSign(sign, CooldownState.ON_COOLDOWN);
setGlass(trap, CooldownState.ON_COOLDOWN);```

```new BukkitRunnable()
                        {

                            @Override
                            public void run()
                            {
                                setSign(sign, CooldownState.READY);
                                setGlass(trap, CooldownState.READY);
                            }

                        }.runTaskLater(plugin, 20 * trap.cooldown);
                        new BukkitRunnable()
                        {

                            @Override
                            public void run()
                            {
                                setSign(sign, CooldownState.ALMOAST_READY);
                                setGlass(trap, CooldownState.ALMOAST_READY);
                            }

                        }.runTaskLater(plugin, (int)(20 * (trap.cooldown / 2.0)));```

but like I was saying, the function is always called correctly, its just the sign chooses not to update oftentimes

Hi how do i teleport someone without losing the elytra velocity?

smoky anchor
#

relative teleport I believe

bright spire
#

I am currently passing velocity and gliding status yet it resets the speed of the elytras

young knoll
#

You probably need to reset those values a tick later

#

Though that still won’t be super smooth

#

I don’t think spigot has api for smooth teleporting

chrome beacon

You need to do a relative teleport like steve mentioned

"Return value of the method is never used" Does JetBrains have any annotations to indicate that this is an API? Even though I don't use the returned value, could someone using the API also use it?

i think the annotation is preferred since the comment is just ide-magic; the annotation is also seen by the compiler

though i don't think it's relevant here

that said there are limitations on where annotations can be put, so sometimes you just have to use the comment

    protected boolean mayPlaceOn(BlockState state, BlockGetter level, BlockPos pos) {
        return state.is(BlockTags.DIRT) || state.is(Blocks.FARMLAND);
    }
#

it looks like it indeed can be placed on dirt, probably paths, and farmland

#

but i'm assuming farmland and paths revert into dirt from the resulting block update

somewhat awkward for my purposes but i suppose it's fine

is there a way to reduce name tag render distance?

mortal vortex

That should tell you if a player can physically see someone, I don’t think it accounts for viewing direction but rather if the player plausibly could be seen by the player if they turned. Which is fine because that’s all you need for nametags

And I think you can use Teams to do the name tag hiding stuff

The main requirement is backward compatibility; it needs to support multiple versions simultaneously, as changes in newer versions may render backward incompatible.

#

You do not want a string array you want a component array

#

I assume that's what you mean though

dull python
#

To be precise, it's a variable parameter, which is a String...

chrome beacon
#

Anyways you need to fix that json of yours. It's not a valid component

chrome beacon
#

Strings do not contain the required data to show other components than text

dull python
#

To be precise, I want the same ComponentSerializer#parse method as R0.2 for fast JSON processing.

chrome beacon
#

I don't understand what you're trying to say 🤷‍♂️

dull python
#

In summary, I want a component that displays the player's head skin, but it also supports parsing a JSON text content I provide, such as {text: {}, keybind: 'key.inventory', translate: 'addServer.add'}. It will parse this content without me having to construct a class, just like ComponentSerializer.parse(text).

chrome beacon
#

So why can you not use the component serializer?

dull python
#

Because it disappeared in R0.3+, I couldn't find this content.

chrome beacon
#

It still exists

#

It just got moved from the main chat module to the serializer module

dull python
#

But I couldn't find it when I opened the JAR file, which is strange because it runs normally without any errors, which is why I'm asking here.

dull python
chrome beacon
#

Import bungeecord-serializer

#

also I do hope you're not using jar dependencies

dull python
#

To be honest, I didn't understand your last sentence.

chrome beacon
#

You should be using maven or gradle to fetch the Spigot API and it's dependencies

#

Not depend on the spigot-api and bungeecord chat jar files through your IDE

dull python
#

Yes, as you said, I referenced it through Gradle, not by importing the JAR file into IntelliJ IDEA.

kotlin people, do you think it makes sense to have each GamePhase be a coroutine in a minigame?
so I just do phases.forEach { it.start() } for when i need the phases to run sequentially?

#

also wtf is intellij doing filling up my whole /home partition to the brim for few seconds before deleting everything again?

like what

mortal vortex
#

phases.forEach { it.start() } ?

#

if start is starting a new coroutine, then wouldnt that imply all routines fire them simultaneously?

#

I imagine u need something sequential, as it is a minigame?

#

or is start being held onto?

mortal vortex
robust helm
#

my idea was to have one CoroutineScope for the gamecycle, that runs all the phases' start() function sequentially and ideally another CoroutineScope for each phase so i can bind event listeners to it

#

and then cancel the coroutinescope of the phase at the end of it

#

to kill of the listeners

#

Probably bad wording, i mean the start function is suspending and not that its a new coroutine

mortal vortex
#

soudns gud

#

you mentioned binding event listeners to the scope i think

#

its good to keep in mind that cancelling a scope will not unregister a listener

#

so, i think you'd be left with something like:


fun CoroutineScope.bindListener(foo: Listener, bar: JavaPlugin) {
    Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(foo, bar)
    
    this.coroutineContext.job.invokeOnCompletion {
        HandlerList.unregisterAll(foo)
    }
}
lost matrix
#

Unregistering listeners always feels like an anti-pattern to me. You can keep listeners registered, and simply delegate the events to places where they are needed, without any real penalty.

robust helm
robust helm
#

or have a whole event bus on top of the bukkit one?

pseudo hazel
#

if by whole event bus you mean a single class, then yeah

#

I have a single listener for all bukkit events, and it just sends the events to all classes that want it

#

and sometimes those classes either exist or don't, and sometimes they check if they need the event or not within the handle method

#

but it looks like you are just working on a state machine

#

the controller or whatever should be forwarding events to its current phase

#

it should not be any harder than that

robust helm
robust helm
pseudo hazel
#

maybe, I have never ran into priority issues

#

you would only have 1 class from your plugin that is handling the event in actuality

#

I mean thats what I would assume

robust helm
#

hmmm

robust helm
robust helm
#

eeh ig ill do smth like

suspend inline fun <reified T: Event> CoroutineScope.bindListener(
    phases: Set<Phase>,
    ignoreCancelled: Boolean = false,
    priority: EventPriority = EventPriority.NORMAL,
    noinline handler: (T) -> Unit,
)

and check for the current phase before passing the event to the handler

#

no thats braindead too, then i wouldnt need coroutine scopes

pseudo hazel
#

what is the registering for

robust helm
pseudo hazel
#

who are you registering these handlers for

#

I get that you have to register them to bukkit to it knows to call those handle methods

robust helm
#

each phase calls registerListener(this, <handler>) in its constructor

#

and the eventcontroller then passes the events to the current phase's handler

robust helm
mortal vortex
pseudo hazel
#

why does it matter if a phase is registered to an event

robust helm
#

but to reduce boilerplate I'd just use generics

#

and then register with registerListener(phaseListener: PhaseListener) or something ig

pseudo hazel
#

I guess

#

but how would you register those generic methods in bukkits event system

robust helm
pseudo hazel
#

does that work?

robust helm
#

im not sure

pseudo hazel
#

I have never tried doing it like that

robust helm
#

how do you do it?

pseudo hazel
#

without generics

#

I only have like 15 ish events

robust helm
#

hmm

pseudo hazel
#

and my phases only really use like 6

#

I generally just forward the event to the current phase regardless

#

and then the phase either does something or not

#

I mean yes, you do have more boilerplate in the form of an abstract class or interface that has handle functions and a controller that is passing events along, but in my case this is done by another class so the controller itself is not getting cluttered, and also that means that each phase is very clear in what its handling since im just implementing the handlers the phase needs

#

and then the listener does controller.phase.onJoin(event) or whatever

robust helm
#

trueee

#

doesnt sound too bad

#

i could also do something with annotation
in some gamephase:
@Listen(PlayerJoinEvent.class)
void onJoin(ev: PlayerJoinEvent) {
// TODO
}

and then register(phase: Phase) where it iterates over all methods and checks for @Listen annotations

pseudo hazel
#

its more naive but its way simpler and easy to understand imo

robust helm
pseudo hazel
#

the real question is how much are the phases relying on events

robust helm
#

or would require some hacky method different from all other events

pseudo hazel
#

hmm

robust helm
pseudo hazel
#

if you are planning to write a library out of it, then your approach is probably better

#

given that listening to Event actually works ofcourse

#

that would be something to try out

robust helm
#

i could also extract the whole event stuff into Toggles so that i have e.g Toggles.get(PvPToggle.class).disable() and .enable() at the start and end of each phase

pseudo hazel
#

again that depends on what the phases are actually doing

#

if they are just listening to events to cancel them or not

#

then yeah that sounds fine

#

if you want them to actually trigger stuff based on the events, idk if the toggles work

robust helm
#

everything sounds fine smh. Toggles reduce code duplication as i dont need my PreparationPhase and PvpPhase to have its own listeners

pseudo hazel
#

but also this toggle system seems kinda overcomplicated

robust helm
#

true

robust helm
#

not a fan of the toggle idea

pseudo hazel
#

my advice for writing a library is always to imagine that you are the one using the library, what would you like your code to be like in the simplest way possible to allow pretty much everything you want

#

and then determine the structure you need out of that

#

all this registering stuff is useless if it doesnt align with how you would use the library

#

i.e. if you were to use this, how would you be creating new phases? stuff like that

#

maybe you just need like a component system or some kinda builder to create a class with listeners the phase needs

#

but maybe you need to have a registry system to allow custom phases to be registered and register each handle automatically

#

then its a question about if you want this registering to happen on the fly as you switch phases or if you want to register everything up front, etc

robust helm
#

current approach is to have a GameCycle interface for nextPhase(), previousPhase() and have implementions like LinearGameCycle

#

and the LinearGameCycle takes in a parameter with an array of phases

#

but the user is free to implement his own GameCycle

pseudo hazel
#

so you need a way to listen to any arbitrary event that exists, even custom ones presumably

robust helm
#

but e.g damage is disabled in both the WaitingForPlayersPhase, the CountdownPhase and the PreparationPhase

#

i feel like ill have to use Toggles, then have some
interface Phase {
Set<Toggle> getEnabledToggles();
]

#

so at least its declarative and its clear what toggles is active where

pseudo hazel
#

how would you be able to add custom toggles of your custom events

#

that the class thats using getEnabledToggles is actually able to do anything with

robust helm
#

implement EventToggle<MyCustomEvent> which has a handle(event: MyCustomEvent) method

#

aah i hate this

pseudo hazel
#

I think firstly you should try if you can blindly receive any event by listening to Event

robust helm
#

true

#

ill try wait

robust helm
#

but instead i need to either instantiate a new toggle in each phase or game.toggles.computeIfAbsent(PvpToggle.class, ignored -> new PvpToggle(/* repeat constructor parameters to be fully declarative*/)

#

and if i do it non-declarative you need to keep track of all enabled toggles by reading the code which gets especially difficult with non-linear gamecycles

pseudo hazel
#

but anyways, if you cant just listen to all events at once, that means you very likely have to make your phase an EventListener

#

which would require some kinda way to either unregister.or block the event beforehand if its not the active phase

#

unless there are exceptions where a phase needs to know about an event even though its not an active phase

#

the way this is done with statemachines is in your case by having a concrete game cycle to that handles specific events and then create your phases to use those events, but this is a nightmare of boilerplating probably

robust helm
#

i dont even need to listen to all events at once if i do register<T extends Event>(clazz: Class<T>, phaes: Phase, handler: Consumer<T>)

pseudo hazel
#

true, so would you check whether the clazz is already being listened to by the cycle?

#

in this method I mean

#

like if you can implement this method properly that is all you would need

robust helm
robust helm
pseudo hazel

pseudo hazel

basically rerouting every listener to its own event

might not be a bad idea for you xD

if it works, it works

and if it doesnt, noone will notice

#

flawless

#

people will just be confused why their events are broken on their remapped event listeners

robust helm
#

not my problem (i will be the only one using the plugin/library)

pseudo hazel
#

but imagine if you were to use this same trick, to check if a listener is a game phase and if so you can wrap the event and not handle it based on the condition (if the phase is active or not)

#

but even then I would probably just wrap it in your register() method

#

instead of after the fact

robust helm
robust helm
cloud perch
robust helm
#

ill have a coffee

pseudo hazel
#

only thing im unsure about is how it actually calls these events

lost matrix
#

I would probably maintain something like a Map<? extends Event, Consumer<? extends Event>> in my minigame instances and then pass the events to them. Messing with the handler, and even reflecting into it, seems like an unnecessary and error prone approach.

pseudo hazel
#

yes but how would you use this with custom events, like do you know if you can just listen for Event and delegate from there?

robust helm
#

you dont need to if you have a register method that takes in Class<? extends Event> as a parameter

pseudo hazel
#

or would you just add methods for them in your minigame implementation

robust helm
#

you can just do PluginManager::registerEvent(eventClazz, /* other params */)

robust helm
lost matrix
#

Sure, but this way you need to constantly (un)register events on runtime

wet breach
#

alternatively you could use beans

lost matrix
# robust helm yes but then how do you start/stop listening to events and how do you filter for...

When the MinigameManager doesnt have the Minigame anymore, it wont pass events to it.
I imagine you have a MinigameManager that maintains a Map<String, Minigame> or something similar.
You never have to worry about starting or stopping to listen. Every event is just passed to all minigames. If the minigame is not in the map
anymore, then it wont receive any events.

If you minigames are constrained to domains (Like a World or BoundingBox), you simply filter by domain first.

All the logic is done by the minigame itself. A minigame could have phases, and maintain a Map<PhaseType, MinigameStage> itself, and then simply pass the event down to the Stage, which itself contains the Map<Class<Event>, Consumer<Event>>.

public abstract class MinigameStage {
...
}

public class SomeJumpAndRunStage extends MinigameStage {
  public SomeJumpAndRunStage() {
    this.registerEventHandler(PlayerToggleSneakEvent.class, this::handleSneak);
  }

  private void handleSneak(PlayerToggleSneakEvent event) {

  }
}

never have i ever needed stages in my minigames

pseudo hazel
#

my plugin is a minigame, it has 3 phases, pregame, game and postgame

lilac dagger
#

yeah that's about it

lost matrix
#

I usually also dont use a "Phase" system, since the lifecycle of minigames is always the same. BuildUp, Lobby, Play, TearDown

robust helm
#

i planned on using one for waiting for players, then for the countdown before game start, then preparation phase where you get basic equipment, then pvp phase where pvp is finally activated, then deathmatch, then postgame and finally teardown ig

pseudo hazel
#

for most minigames, the play stage handles everything and has flags to determine when to spawn diamonds or whatever

#

but I think this is mostly just a system that the individual minigame could create if it was this complex

lost matrix
#

I think you should probably stick to the 3 or 4 "phases" that are minigame-agnostic, and then handle all the specifics, like getting equipped etc, in an abstraction layer within your minigames implementation.

pseudo hazel

the general event code in this case would largely be the same

#

I am still trying to think of another plugin idea but vant come up with anything because its been done by an army of developers

#

the minigame plugin I made is primarily designed to be used to just play with your friends, not a global online minigame servers, as those servers usually hire devs to make it fit the network they want to have

robust helm
#

i do mine because (1) i have nothing better to do (2) i want to make a server network and (3) i want to learn

Im personally working on a citybuild server right now, where you have a full blown skill system, and the farmworld gets progressively harder with random encounters, and bossfights the further you go from spawn. And with clans that can level up, and enable rune slots. And mounts, and followers, and a ton of other stuff. A ton of fun to develop this.

Nah the dev that used this API was bad. We didnt have an abstraction layer or hooks so i could easily swap out the plugin.
It had a ton of hard-coded, stubborn, childish code, with classes that where 2k in lines, copy-pasting 90% of the code to make small changes every time. He didnt even use an API for GUIs. Im speaking, dead-ass, one listener per gui with

if(event.getClickedSlot() == 4) {
  // Deep nesting and 100 lines of code
} else if (event.getClickedSlot() == 5) {
  // Another pile of spaghetti
}

You couldnt make that up. And it ran for like >200 people on one point.
