[quaint mantle]

do you have any guide or anything written or a video to help?

there should be something 😭

[cloud perch]

What do you not understand exactly?

[quaint mantle]

the project setup

theres a pom file in every folder

[thorn isle]

Those are submodules

This is a multi module project

[quaint mantle]

i dont understand the partitions and how theyre compiling different spigot versions and everything into one jar

[thorn isle]

Each module depends on a different spigot version

[quaint mantle]

so how do you compile it all into one jar file then?

[thorn isle]

Then at the end the main module bundles them together into one jar

[quaint mantle]

oh

[thorn isle]

First the submodulrs build individually, then get bundled together

Typically with maven shade

[quaint mantle]

theres weird flags that ive never seen before in poms too like <configuration><skip>true</skip></configuration> in plugin and <scope>provided</scope> and <scope>compile</scope> in dependencies

[thorn isle]

When using maven shade, you want to specify a scope for your dependencies

Provided dependencies are expected to be provided by the runtime, and so won't be bundled in

Compile scope dependencies are bundled into the final jar by maven shade

Hi, I’m currently working on a Discord-linked Minecraft event system.

The goal is to give server owners a clean way to manage
points, ranks, and interactive events without relying on chat commands.

Players interact through buttons,
while server logic stays controlled and predictable.
This helps reduce abuse, confusion, and command spam.

I’m still refining the system and would love feedback from
server owners or plugin developers:
does this kind of UI-driven control make sense for live servers?

[thorn isle]

Looks like an ingame dialog with extra steps

I suppose it's nice to be able to do things "offline" through a browser

But it does also take you out of the game; "third-party" applications like battlelog or forums are usually not very popular among casual players

[brazen phoenix]

That’s a fair point, and I agree with the concern.

The intention isn’t to replace in-game interaction,
but to provide an optional layer for things that don’t need
to happen during active gameplay.

For example:

• checking stats or ranks while offline
• managing points or settings without logging in
• reducing command spam or complex menus in-game

For casual players, everything can still remain in-game.
This kind of UI is mainly aimed at more engaged players
or server staff who already use Discord heavily.

I’m trying to keep it complementary rather than mandatory,
but feedback like this is exactly what helps refine that balance.

Out of curiosity, have you seen any Discord integrations
that worked well without hurting immersion?

[thorn isle]

Maybe like local voice chat systems, but that's for when you're already online

If it's a supplement to ingame systems rather than a replacement, it won't hurt

[brazen phoenix]

Yeah, that’s exactly how I see it as well.

It’s not meant to replace in-game systems,
but to act as a supplement for things that don’t require
the player to be actively online.

Anything that affects moment-to-moment gameplay
should still happen in-game.
This is more about convenience and management outside of play sessions.

That balance is definitely something I’m trying to be careful with,
so feedback like this helps a lot.

Hi,
I have a variable, configJoinAlert that is set to getConfig,getBoolean() of a value in the config,
This works fine, however if the config is edited and reloaded (reload command done using reloadConfig()) this variable does not update.

What would be the most efficient way to get it to update on reload? Would it simply be updating the boolean within the reload command's class or something else?

[chrome beacon]

Doesn't get more efficient than updating it in the reload command

[orchid furnace]

Fair enough then

[chrome beacon]

but that ofcourse means what you mean by efficient here. I assumed you mean performance, but it could be efficiency to write code faster etc

[orchid furnace]

I mean performance would be an aspect, but also what would make most sense in this kinda situation. If more context is needed then I can provide but if not then I'll just go with updating the variable with the command

[grim hound]

has anyone ever dealt with mariadb shading

cuz damn

and for some reason I can reference it in code

[grim hound]

and it also fixes this specific issue

...only for other mariadb classes not to be found later on

[thorn isle]

are you maybe minimizing after shade

minimize can't always detect things like reflection or Class.forName properly and ends up trimming out those classes since they're "unused"

the class being included only if you directly reference it in your code would strongly indicate that you're minimizing the fat jar and something like this is happening

alternatively, something something classloader visibility

[grim hound]

oh yeah I am

can I tell the minimize to like, not do whatever tf it's doing

[thorn isle]

dunno

[grim hound]

huh

I guess

[thorn isle]

[grim hound]

hmm, it broke alongside shadowJar relocating

the more you know

[thorn isle]

same deal as with minimize; relocate can't with perfect accuracy find some kinds of references to remap them

e.g. reflection using non-compiletime constant strings

or maybe any reflection at all, i don't remember

[grim hound]

it works with reflection

if you reference a full path, it'll find it

org.mariadb.jdbc in a string would get remapped

[kind tendon]

"IP you wish to use IP forwarding, please enable it in your bungecoord"

Does anyone know what might be causing this error?

I have everything properly configured, including IP forwarding, and everything was working fine until I updated BungeeCord. Since that update, I’m no longer able to join one of my backend servers. However, I can still connect to the lobby without any issues.

[young knoll]

Are you joining the backend directly

Hi, I’m using setChestplate to equip a player with a chestplate that has custom model data. The item itself shows the correct custom model data, but when I equip it and look at it in third-person (F5), it displays as a normal armor piece rather than showing the custom skin from ItemAdder. Am I missing something?

[sullen marlin]

Probably an issue with the model?

[orchid brook]

I mean this is working when i equip it manualy sorry. However, when I equip the same chestplate using setChestplate, the item appears correctly in the inventory with the right custom model data, but in third-person view it shows as a normal Netherite chestplate
But nvm i think i have to ask to itemadder tbh

[sullen marlin]

Compare what /data get says the nbt is for each

[outer elk]

guys, can we edit dialogues with spigotapi?

btw has minecraft added this feature?
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/25w20a-customizable-native-ui.690020/

[pseudo hazel]

minecraft has dialogs yes

idk if spigot has api for it

[sullen marlin]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#showDialog(net.md_5.bungee.api.dialog.Dialog)

[pseudo hazel]

ah its bungee, makes sense

[lilac dagger]

am i crazy?

https://pastebin.com/K88xQXqU this has to be faster than pattern compile -> matcher

[worldly ingot]

Depends on what you need

Sometimes RegEx is just less complex than a lexer (believe it or not)

[slender elbow]

if the pattern is precompiled, the difference won't be really noticeable, like, at all

just keep your patterns in static final constants

[worldly ingot]

Especially if you're not in a hot spot

Translating text messages isn't that hot

[lilac dagger]

hmm

i'll give a try to patterns

[worldly ingot]

You could always test it 👀

[thorn isle]

compile + match, maybe not, but just matching should probably be about the same

regex is a fairly mature thing

with possibly maybe at least in theory the jit/jvm doing vectorization to speed it up

in the end regex patterns are (usually) more readable than a nested if else switch == '§' blob and that's what matters more; for a hotspot, best to test it rather than assuming one is faster than the other

[slender elbow]

matching the regex also isn't any kind of voodoo magic, once compiled it turns into a sequence of simple matches you would end up doing manually if you were to test the same pattern; just, Pattern does it with a few more indirections, but JIT should take care of that fine too

[lilac dagger]

okay i got them both working

[slender elbow]

reminder that System.currentTimeMillis() is not a benchmark

[lilac dagger]

i'm gonna test it on 1000 elements

https://davidvlijmincx.com/posts/benchmark-and-profile-java/

is this good?

[slender elbow]

jmh is good :)

there's also the whole knowing how and what to benchmark thing so you're benchmarking the right thing to get correct results, and it has heaps of parameterisation options

that article seems fine

[thorn isle]

System.nanoTime() 💪

actually nano time is sort of more unstable than millis, it can easily drift up to like a few µs between different cores

[silver dirge]

how can i setJoinMessage with color?

[thorn isle]

so if your benchmark thread happens to get tossed between cores in the middle of a benchmark, you can get odd results

[slender elbow]

yeah it has nanosecond resolution but the precision is uhhhhhhhh yeah

something

i just reduced the run-time of my networking code by 50% by doing one simple trick!

(3ms)

by avoiding an unneeded lock

[silver dirge]

is there a way to disable the joinmessage pasting in console?

it just paste the same msg in the console like
[17:01:37 INFO]: §6Welcome back (player)!

[thorn isle]

sounds like some plugin

[silver dirge]

wym

[lilac dagger]

i got it to work

it takes a while

[slender elbow]

it does!

it spins multiple JVMs with wildly different configurations to each one

[silver dirge]

do you guys know any good learning aids

[cloud perch]

Show code

[outer elk]

@slender elbow i pinged u for nothing
bcs i want hgd

[silver dirge]

    public void onEnable() {
        // Register this class as an event listener so @EventHandler methods are called
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(@NonNull PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        String name = event.getPlayer().getName();
        boolean firstTime = !event.getPlayer().hasPlayedBefore();

        if (firstTime) {
            event.joinMessage(Component.text("§6Welcome " + name + " to the server!"));
        } else {
            event.joinMessage(Component.text("§6Welcome back " + name + "!"));
        }
    }```

its simple

but for some reason it sends it in console to

[cloud perch]

eh

Use player#sendMessage

[silver dirge]

alr

[cloud perch]

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    String name = player.getName();

    // This will supress the default join message
    event.setJoinMessage(null);

    if (!player.hasPlayedBefore()) {
        player.sendMessage("§Welcome " + name + " to the server!");
    } else {
        player.sendMessage("§6Welcome back " + name + "!");
    }
}```

@silver dirge ^^

[thorn isle]

that uh will only be seen by the joining player which is different from the event join message, which is a broadcast

you could use Bukkit.broadcast but iirc that prints in the console as well; so perhaps just forEach sendMessage over Bukkit::getOnlinePlayers

[silver dirge]

i mean its alright if it sends it only to the player

[thorn isle]

then the given approach is fine

[silver dirge]

i got errors but yk it works so dont touch it

[cloud perch]

I mean getting a error fixed in a 1 file 30 line class aint that big of a deal

[silver dirge]

i dont get an error in my file

its an error in my console

[tranquil pecan]

player.sendMessage("§Welcome " + name + " to the server!");

[weak wasp]

Isn't the console just pointing out errors in your file?

[thorn isle]

does that include compiling the regex or just matching it

BlockData::isFaceSturdy is the worst method name i've seen for a while

i wish javadocs had an "usages" search so i could easily tell which oddly named method on which of the 25 block data/state/world accessor classes i need to call to get a BlockSupport level, without having to do search usages in the paper userdev jar

which it apparently does, nevermind

[worldly ingot]

I wrote that method

The Javadocs seem clear enough to me!

i've improved the hex method 😄

i think i'll keep my own impl

it won't require maintenance, it should be fine to have it a bit longer if it can save performance

but then most strings are saved on plugin load so half the performance should still be fast enough for this

the only thing that requires runtime processing would be the placeholder api replace

i mean the javadoc comment is good but i would've expected the method itself to be named "canSupport" or "hasBlockSupport" or something, "sturdy" seems to come out of nowhere and at least for me it makes me think of the BlockSupport.RIGID type specifically, rather than an arbitrary support type

whats a "proper" way to obtain a plugin instance from another plugin

ye but it fails if the class isnt loaded yet i think. Depends if ur softdepending

[buoyant viper]

im hard depending :V

[mortal vortex]

im hard too depending on the person

but not what i asked

[buoyant viper]

i know i can access from a static field bc i tested it for quick&dirty code, but i want to use a proper accessor lol

The Services API is cool to look into if the plugin supports it

i did think abt Services

may be Too useful for how i intend on using it

How can i make a playsound but the volume is higher than vanilla Minecraft?

[drowsy helm]

doesn't the api take a volume variable

if it doesn't allow past max i would say thats a client limitation

not server

[mortal vortex]

Isn't volume for the distance.

Like volume = 1 means its audible for a chunk

[drowsy helm]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#playSound(org.bukkit.entity.Entity,org.bukkit.Sound,org.bukkit.SoundCategory,float,float)

just says the volume of the sound lol

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/World.html#playSound(org.bukkit.entity.Entity,java.lang.String,float,float)

same for this

[mortal vortex]

To be honest, I'm not sure, but if we are to assume that Player#playSound is the same invocation as the command (given that they take similar parameters), then volume is to be assumed as:

Specifies the distance that the sound can be heard [...] its audible range is multiplied by volume. There is always a gradual falloff to silence based on distance from the center of the sphere

[ivory sleet]

the adviced way is probably through PluginManager

[thorn isle]

Yeah, PluginManager::getPlugin and cast is the ground truth

Passing classes could be affected by shade misconfigurations and such

[buoyant viper]

no shading just raw depend: in plugin.yml

xd

[lilac dagger]

wasn't there a bitewise operation for i / 2?

nevermind

it probably has to performance improvement

[thorn isle]

you'd be surprised by how often people accidentally shade in things

and then you do something like JavaPlugin.getPlugin for a class, or use some static getInstance method on the thing you depended on, and it actually gets you the shaded copy of the classes, which is going to say something like "not initialized yet" because bukkit never loaded it

[thorn isle]

arithmetic right shift, >>

note that it behaves differently from integer division for negative numbers

that is, integer division rounds towards zero, arithmetic right shift rounds towards negative infinity

this is why you should never do e.g. int chunkX = blockX / 16, because for blockX=-10 the expected result (which you get with >>) is -1, but integer division gets you 0

in terms of performance, integer division on most cpus is i think like a latency of 4 clock cycles and throughput of 1-4 per cycle, where bitwise ops are 1 clock cycle each, so it is definitely considerably faster

but that's only when you're in a spot hot enough to be counting individual cpu cycles, and reasoning about it isn't easy since instruction pipelining can throw assumptions out of the window

plus where applicable the jit fairly reliably substitutes matching bitwise ops for other arithmetic ops

[bright spire]

Thats so interesting to know!

Hello hello, Im blocked on a problem I have since one month and a half and I really need some help. i hope I am at the right place, if not the Im really sorry.

Im using ItemsAdder to add items in minecraft so I have the model that is in the game but the texture isnt loaded and I dont know why.

I think I have the wrong path to the texture in the model's json but I cant manage to get the right one.

I hope someone here can help me with this, my dm's are open if needed.

Thank you a lot in advance !

||I hope my english isnt too bad, if not im really sorry||

[lilac dagger]

i don't have negative numbers 😄

i'll replace it with right shift

[mortal vortex]

Is this development related.

[spice sapphire]

well im not sure if you can consider this as development. that's why i apologized if im not on the right discord

[mortal vortex]

This is for development using the API

[spice sapphire]

oh then im not at the right place

my bad sorry again

[buoyant viper]

#help-server is probably the correct place to ask

[spice sapphire]

maybe, im so sorry

[thorn isle]

i doubt anyone knows there either

better ask in some datapack/resourcepack guild

[mortal vortex]

Doesn’t ItemsAdder have a server though

[thorn isle]

or yeah that

[spice sapphire]

yeah but i cant verify my account there so i cant post anything

[mortal vortex]

Because you have an illegally obtained copy of items adder?

[spice sapphire]

nope

we are 3 working on the project and its not me who bought the plugin

the person who got it doesnt reply to me so im kinda stucked

but anyway i wont bother you with this

thanks for your time and answers, have a nice day all

[mortal vortex]

All good you too

[crisp herald]

how the fuck do I apply a b64 texture to a skull in this latest bitchass version

shits impossible

😭

[young knoll]

Same way you should be doing it since 1.18

[crisp herald]

nope lol

[young knoll]

Like this

[chrome beacon]

The base64 contains a piece of json with the url in it

if you're wondering where to get the url from

[young knoll]

I believe Minecraft-heads has the url directly

[crisp herald]

Im asking how to use it with just the b64 lol you shouldnt need to rely on the texture being hosted somewhere lol

before this version you could just edit the texture property

now you just cant

[chrome beacon]

The skin is always hosted somewhere

The client does not fetch the skin from the server

[young knoll]

Yeah, the base64 literally has a url in it

[chrome beacon]

It fetches them from Mojang

The texture property is just an encoded url to Mojangs server

[crisp herald]

oh crazy

[chrome beacon]

Put it in a base64 decoder and you'll see :p

[crisp herald]

im a brick

[crisp herald]

i just assumed it was straight texture data lol

my fault

[thorn isle]

for mannequins and i think maybe skulls also, you should now be able to use assets from the resourcepack

that's the only alternative you have to uploading the texture to mojang servers and passing the client an url to load it from

[crisp herald]

I mean this still doesnt work anyway

[thorn isle]

the url must point to the mojang domain, the client will reject any other url

it also must be https

or, well, the destination must support https; so spoofing a local nameserver wouldn't work

[crisp herald]

ok well i did this shit in 1.20 or so and it was ridiculously easy and now its a nightmare lol

[thorn isle]

it's always been like this

[crisp herald]

nah

[thorn isle]

yuh

[crisp herald]

For the record this is how I used to do it

ItemStack head = new ItemStack(Material.PLAYER_HEAD);
SkullMeta headMeta = (SkullMeta) head.getItemMeta();
GameProfile profile = new GameProfile(UUID.randomUUID(), null);

    profile.getProperties().put("textures", new Property("textures", url));

    head.setItemMeta(headMeta);
    return head;

ignore the weird indent

url was just the base64 url for the texture from minecraft-heads.com

[young knoll]

Ew reflection

[thorn isle]

the values are still the same

[young knoll]

That’s basically what the api is doing

Minus reflection

[thorn isle]

i think the api might have changed slightly, but the underlying thing is the same

[crisp herald]

I get that but I have no clue how to use it now and i cant find any info on it lol

[crisp herald]

I tried this example and it at least runs without errors but doesnt apply the texture

[thorn isle]

okay what specific texture base64 string are you trying to use

[chrome beacon]

Could you show your code

?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)

[thorn isle]

people often get confused between the base64 url+texture, and the hex texture

both are strings

and passing one in place of the other won't work

[lilac dagger]

This doesn't even work on modern spigot

[crisp herald]

yes i know

thats what i USED to use

it was like 1.20

or sum shi

[thorn isle]

to deal with this iirc i wrote some util that tries parsing it as both and just uses the correct one

haven't touched it since 2023

[crisp herald]

https://pastes.dev/OfhzxKf7l2
this was me trying to use the example that jishuna replied to earlier

the texture is just the base64 string

[thorn isle]

paste the base64 string

[crisp herald]

again i havent touched head textures in like 2 yrs lol

[crisp herald]

was trying to use this one:
eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6eyJTS0lOIjp7InVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly90ZXh0dXJlcy5taW5lY3JhZnQubmV0L3RleHR1cmUvMTliZjMyOTJlMTI2YTEwNWI1NGViYTcxM2FhMWIxNTJkNTQxYTFkODkzODgyOWM1NjM2NGQxNzhlZDIyYmYifX19

basic right arrow head

[thorn isle]

so you're passing that directly to textures.setSkin(URI.create(texture).toURL()); as texture?

[crisp herald]

i assumed that was the move

yeah

[thorn isle]

well

[crisp herald]

dont flame me 😭

[thorn isle]

that's not a URL

[crisp herald]

tru

[thorn isle]

you need to decode it from base64 first to get a url

[crisp herald]

its not a url on its own

[thorn isle]

then pass it to URI.create

[crisp herald]

yea good point

[young knoll]

I usually just use the url directly

But it shouldn’t be too hard to decode and parse

[crisp herald]

wait hollup i might be a brick

[thorn isle]

i usually just use the texture hex and hardcode the url in

[crisp herald]

lemme try sum shi

[thorn isle]

on minecraftheads, scroll down to the bottom and copy the "Minecraft URL" instead of the base64 profile property

[crisp herald]

i tried that too btw

before i sent the stuff earlier

[thorn isle]

that is something you can pass to URI.create directly; it's also shorter and more useful in code, since the developer can just copy it and go to the url to see what it is

[thorn isle]

well post code

[crisp herald]

The only difference is I just replace the texture string with "http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/bd69e06e5dadfd84e5f3d1c21063f2553b2fa945ee1d4d7152fdc5425bc12a9"

directly

[crisp herald]

like you said here

[crisp herald]

ok well im a little special i forgot to set the meta to the head item

it works now lmfao tyt

ty

[mortal vortex]

How is the spectator-like state achieved on some minigame servers?

I.e, the player is hidden in tab and invisible in game, yet cannot clip through objects like in regular spectator

[cloud perch]

Packets

[lilac dagger]

i just use fly/allow flight and player#hidePlayer

as well as setcollidable with entities to false

[cloud perch]

Does that hide the player from tab?

[lilac dagger]

yes

[cloud perch]

What if features like spectators seeing other spectators

[lilac dagger]

and to not collide with blocks you can work with the allowbuild event

[lilac dagger]

just allow them to see each other

tho i haven't done that with my plugin

[cloud perch]

How would you achieve that?

[lilac dagger]

player#hidePlayer and player#showPlayer

[cloud perch]

So just check if the player is spectator if true then show if false then hide

[lilac dagger]

i also have a system that makes the players of a game to only see each other

yeah

loop through the spectators

[cloud perch]

I see i see

[lilac dagger]

and make them see the new spectator

[cloud perch]

I didn't know that method existed but now I do

[cloud perch]

Yep makes sense

[lilac dagger]

now you do 😄

[cloud perch]

Wait are you the creator of that one minigame plugin?

I forgot the name

[lilac dagger]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/authors/fr33styler.18507/

[cloud perch]

Yess it is you

A server I used to work for used that minigames setup

[lilac dagger]

😄

[mortal vortex]

And what about not being able to open containers and shit

Or execute commands

[lilac dagger]

you just write checks with events for that

for example on opening containers

use PlayerInteractEvent

check if player is a spectator

if it is set cancelled

[buoyant viper]

spectators can open containers? wat

[thorn isle]

they can open containers but not modify them, or cause loot to be generated in them

[lilac dagger]

minigame spectator

not game mode spectator

[buoyant viper]

ah

[tender shard]

yeah that surprised me too once, lol

but they cannot generate loot, e.g. shipwrecks

You can get an XML programmer certificate from w3 schools

For the low price of iirc 95 usd

[fathom fable]

no please

[ivory sleet]

you all are done

ım telling you

[lilac dagger]

do you guys know why a project would fail to minimize?

it only say it fails, disabling minimising works

[kindred valley]

thats because of static methods

never use them

never

[lilac dagger]

hmm

might be a dependency

i'm not sure

[lilac dagger]

me: looking for an alternative to integer parse int
me: finds one in apache common lang
also me: looks inside

[thorn isle]

why would you need an alternative to parseInt

[lilac dagger]

i didn't needed to handle the number format exception

[wet breach]

either you use parseInt() or you use valueOf()

don't really have anything else lol

[lilac dagger]

ik

[wet breach]

regardless both throw a number format exception

[lilac dagger]

either way, it looks cleaner than wrapping it in a number format exception

the check will return null

this was with the catch

[thorn isle]

personally i would probably just use a regex for this that'd also validate that it's a number

[lilac dagger]

this validates it either way

[thorn isle]

if (POSITION_PATTERN.matcher(placeholder).matches()) {

then extract the number and presence of _score from capture groups

[wet breach]

since we are dealing with arrays, a dirty hack way to validate would just be to toss it into an array of int or create an array from the first array in that way automatically

either the array accepts it or it doesn't 😛

[lilac dagger]

but then you could also have a loop and check each character with Character#isDigit

[thorn isle]

unless it's a perf hotspot, regex is much cleaner

position_(\d+)(_score)?

now there's no need to validate the number or handle a format exception, since it's always guaranteed to be a valid nonnegative integer

[lilac dagger]

true

i like how clean regex is

[young knoll]

There’s Ints.tryParse in guava

[lilac dagger]

the issue with that one is that it's boxed

totally fine too

but if i don't need it boxed i prefer the hidden apache catch

[buoyant viper]

just open the box 🤨

[thorn isle]

proper value types can't become a standard library thing soon enough

[mortal hare]

anyone tried to mod hytale by this point now from here?

i've made example mods, but its so different from NMS or Bukkit API, so i need to adjust

added very borked version of crowbar for example 😄

[wet breach]

looks more like a hockey stick then it does a crowbar

[buoyant viper]

its amazing how even when its not minecraft, its still using the magenta-black tiled error texture

[slender elbow]

automatic unboxing is a thing

[young knoll]

Tbf that came before minecraft

Source engine uses it too

[buoyant viper]

thought source was the ERROR texture

or is that gmod exclusive

[young knoll]

That’s missing models

[buoyant viper]

damn

idk i never played gmod

[cloud perch]

Gmod shows error if the model is missing

[rotund ravine]

Yeah, and if the material is missing it becomes all purple and black as above.

[mortal hare]

its universal iirc

[rotund ravine]

No

It’d look kinda dumb if the floor wqs choppy error signs

[young knoll]

Apparently some source games have slightly different missing textures

[rotund ravine]

[mortal hare]

doesnt this prove my point? source games literally uses the same checker pattern

error signs are for missing models

not textures

[mental drum]

We have a custom Efficiency enchantment (levels 1-250) on tools and want it to visually speed up block breaking, but only for blocks matching the tool type (shovel→dirt, not stone). The problem is vanilla Efficiency enchantment only has ~10 meaningful levels before instant-break, and the BLOCK_BREAK_SPEED player attribute affects ALL blocks regardless of tool type (so a shovel with high efficiency insta-mines cobblestone). We need a way to control block break speed that scales smoothly across 250 levels and only applies to appropriate blocks - likely requiring custom break handling using Player.sendBlockDamage() to manually control the crack animation per-tick.

[rotund ravine]

Sounds like you need some math

[mental drum]

Has anyone encountered this or has a fix/workaround without needing to scan the block a player is looking at every tick because thats expensive

You cant incrementally increase native eff enchant over 250 levels which is the issue

[mortal vortex]

"Every tick"? Have you not heard abt events

[mental drum]

using Player.sendBlockDamage() ?

The other challenge is not being able to incrementally map eff levels 1 to insta break over something like 250 custom enchant levels

[sullen marlin]

Why do you need 250 levels

Is the difference between 249 and 250 meaningful

[mental drum]

Factory farm gamemode

its tycoon

[mental drum]

No but 220-250 is. Its a grindy tycoon game. Like a cookie clicker how you level every little stat up

[mortal vortex]

sounds like slop

[mental drum]

Its for brain slop watchers, yes

Thanks for the help. I figured it out

[pseudo tapir]

Hello, I'm trying to apply a variant to an entity that will be spawned from an egg, but it's not working. What is the correct syntax?

ItemStack itemStack = new ItemStack(Material.AXOLOTL_SPAWN_EGG);
if (itemStack.getItemMeta() instanceof SpawnEggMeta spawnEggMeta){
    EntitySnapshot spawnedEntity = spawnEggMeta.getSpawnedEntity();
    if (spawnedEntity instanceof Axolotl axolotl){
        axolotl.setVariant(Axolotl.Variant.BLUE);
        spawnEggMeta.setSpawnedEntity(spawnedEntity);
        itemStack.setItemMeta(spawnEggMeta);
        message(plugin, this.sender, "§aYou have received a Blue Axolotl Spawn Egg as a gift!");
    } else {
        message(plugin, this.sender, "§cFailed to create Axolotl Spawn Egg.");
    }
    player.getInventory().addItem(itemStack);
}

[young knoll]

What happens

Actually I can guess what happens, getSpawnedEntity is null

Create a new EntitySnapshot from a World and use that

[lilac dagger]

set spawn meta back

oh you do hmm

yeah what jishuna said

[dense geyser]

im slowly coming back towards spigot and i'm running into a small issue, im trying to use PacketPlayOutEntityEquipment, it exists in my buildtools but I get a CNFE on the server - I did some googling and found theres a new packet called ClientboundSetEquipmentPacket, but my buildtools doesn't appear to have this? when I ran buildtools for 1.21.11, was I supposed to run remapped?

[lilac dagger]

they're the same packet but one is using md mappings and one is using mojang mappings

[dense geyser]

so do I need to rerun but remap or can I get away with just using reflection?

not sure how much it changes

[lilac dagger]

if you wanna use remapped jars you also need to specify it in your module pom

?nms

[undone axle]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[dense geyser]

that link doesn't appear to work, let me try archive org

[lilac dagger]

https://pastebin.com/R2dS0F9Q

replace it for your version

you'll then be able to code in mojang mappings

[dense geyser]

ah, alright, thank you

[lilac dagger]

does anyone here use gradle?

is it faster than maven?

[thorn isle]

gradle can selectively compile just the classes that aren't up to date

so if compilation is your bottleneck, potentially yes

but configuring the project usually takes longer, especially the first time since it has to start a daemon

configuring as in the time to parse the build script and get it going

[lilac dagger]

i see

hmm, i'll give it a try in a project and see how it goes

[shadow night]

I do

[onyx fjord]

I do it's the standard these days

[thorn isle]

i still prefer maven honestly

gradle feels sluggish and heavy to me

[onyx fjord]

It's much more powerful tho

[lilac dagger]

yeah, i like maven too, but i wanna try gradle as well

[onyx fjord]

Are you sure it's Gradle and not paperclip ?

[thorn isle]

a bit of both i'm sure

[slender elbow]

configuration cache 🤤

[thorn isle]

doesn't support half of the things you want to do with the config

definitely nice where applicable though

[quaint mantle]

public class SuperVanishHook {
    // Prevent instantiation of the class
    private SuperVanishHook() {
    }

    // Function to check if SuperVanish or PremiumVanish is installed and print a
    // message
    public static void checkVanishPlugin(Letters plugin) {
        // Check if a supported vanish plugin is present
        boolean superVanishFound = Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("SuperVanish") != null;
        boolean premiumVanishFound = Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("PremiumVanish") != null;

        // Determine which vanish plugin was found
        String pluginName = null;

        if (superVanishFound) {
            pluginName = "SuperVanish";
        } else if (premiumVanishFound) {
            pluginName = "PremiumVanish";
        }

        // Only register the vanish event listeners if a vanish plugin is detected
        if (pluginName != null) {
            plugin.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PlayerShowListener(plugin), plugin);
            plugin.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PlayerHideListener(plugin), plugin);
        }

        // Store config message path depending on whether a vanish plugin is present
        String messagePath = (pluginName != null)
                ? "messages.system.checks.vanish-plugin-found"
                : "messages.system.checks.vanish-plugin-not-found";

        // Retrieve the message from the config
        String message = plugin.getConfig().getString(messagePath);

        // Return if the message is empty or null
        if (message == null || message.trim().isEmpty())
            return;

        // Log vanish plugin status
        if (pluginName != null)
            plugin.getLogger().info(message.replace("<vanish_plugin>", pluginName));
        else
            plugin.getLogger().warning(message);
    }
}

I have this function to log a message from the config. I tried changing the message in the config and it logged the correct message but when I comment or delete the line from the config, it starts logging the value I put in the default config instead of not logging anything, any reason why its behaving this way?

[thorn isle]

if the config is config.yml, then that has defaults pulled from your resources/config.yml in your jar

if an entry is absent from the config.yml on disk, the default from the jar will be used

you can get rid of all the defaults with Config::setDefaults and passing an empty config or maybe a null

but this also means that any new fields you add to the config will cause get's to return null on existing installs, unless you set up some kind of config upgrade/migrate system to add the missing entries in, or use getOrDefault everywhere

[quaint mantle]

oh

[slender elbow]

huh

[thorn isle]

the config cache isn't supported for some things, i forget exactly what; i think something to do with running scripts or referencing/persisting objects in the build scripts

i just remember running into it and disabling it

[grave plover]

If I want to call an event with Bukkit.getPluginManager().callEvent and then check if the event would be cancelled or not, will I have to schedule the check for the next tick or is callEvent already aligning with the current tick? if I have to schedule, will one tick be enough? or do I need to run the check 2 ticks later as if the event call itself would take a whole tick and then my check?

GPT gave me this shi* but it is obviously stupid

        BlockBreakEvent breakEvent = new BlockBreakEvent(block, player);
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().callEvent(breakEvent);

        if (!breakEvent.isCancelled()) {
            block.breakNaturally(player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand());
        }

[young knoll]

Funnily enough ChatGPT actually got it correct

However if you want to break a block while respecting other plugins you can just do Player#breakBlock

[thorn isle]

yes, the event is expected to be at its final state once the call returns

that is, all listeners have seen it and done everything they need to do it, such as cancelling it

[grave plover]

but isnt the if stmt completely useless there?

[worldly ingot]

Why would it be? It's checking if the event wasn't cancelled, and if not cancelled, breaks the block

That cancelled state might have been changed by any listener

[grave plover]

does this mean that from calling the event to the if stmt, all listeners for BlockBreakEvent are getting ticked and process their modifications?

[worldly ingot]

Yes

callEvent() runs all the listeners

Though in this case, Jish is correct in saying that you can replace all that with just a Player#breakBlock(block) call because it will do all the event calling for you

Among other things like handling enchantments and drops

[grave plover]

what if I run a callEvent inside an Event?

[worldly ingot]

You can do that if you wanted, but if you're not careful you'll end up with some recursion

[grave plover]

ye I will use this, sounds easier

[sly topaz]

you might create an infinite loop and your server will explode

[worldly ingot]

Need some sort of exit clause if you're calling a break event from within a break event listener

[grave plover]

what I meant is that if I have some listener with low priority and call an event there, wouldnt the high priority listeners be exluded from the called listeners?

when it really happens in the same tick?

[worldly ingot]

Due to infinite recursiveness yes. The listeners are called in order of lowest to highest, so the lowest listener would get called, then your event would get called, then the lowest listeners for that would be called, repeat...

t

Oops sorry lol

Playing Rocket League at the same time trying to type lol

[grave plover]

Ig I mixed up the priorities, what would be the case if the highest priority listener would use callevent?

[worldly ingot]

Monitor would get excluded but same thing

[grave plover]

how, didnt the low priority listeners not alr fire?

[sly topaz]

I don't understand why priority matters here

you call the event, it triggers the listeners regardless of what priority schedules the call

[grave plover]

hm I think I got the intuition of it being bad for some plugins when I call two events for the same blockbreak e.g., I guess it is my responsibility to do it right so it cannot happen

[sly topaz]

you should ultimately not call the event twice for the same the block break, but yeah

[grave plover]

btw, will this take item durability into consideration

[worldly ingot]

Yes

[sly topaz]

javadocs do mention it

[grave plover]

omg then my method got so much shorter :DDDDD

    private void handleBlockBreak(Player player, Block block, BlockKey key) {
        player.breakBlock(block);

        cleanupBlock(block, key);
    }```

[buoyant viper]

🔥

[silk mirage]

a quick question

when blocks explode

do each block get passed to

BlockBreakEvent

[slender elbow]

no, BlockBreakEvent is when a player breaks a block

for explosions, EntityExplodeEvent and BlockExplodeEvent are called

depending on if what exploded was an entity or a block respectively

[silk mirage]

for a banner

that'd be block right?

[slender elbow]

banners don't explode last i knew

[silk mirage]

oh...

[slender elbow]

the list of broken blocks is available in the explode event, that's what you'd check, but you probably want to listen to both events

[silk mirage]

how would you check if abanner is ominious?

[slender elbow]

the game does it by checking the item_name component and checking the translation key is block.minecraft.ominous_banner

[silk mirage]

Okay, is there anyway to make a banner "float"?

so like if the blocks surronding the banner is broken

the banner will still not break

[silk mirage]

ugh im yet to figure it out

i basically want to make "Floating Signs" but for banners

[wet breach]

you would have to disable physics for it, and then afterwards continue disabling physics and would need to do checks to ensure the surrounding blocks don't cause the physics to update. Typically this is easier if you have a fake banner that doesn't actually exist but the client thinks it does

IE, packet manipulation

[silk mirage]

Okay

Is there anyway to track when a "banner" is dropped?

even during explostion or something

[wet breach]

item spawn event if the flag did not get destroyed.

[silk mirage]

What if it did?

    Banner banner = (Banner) event.getBlock().getState();
    PersistentDataContainer pdc = banner.getPersistentDataContainer();

    String markerId = MarkerUtil.generateMarkerName(event.getBlock().getLocation());

    pdc.set(Keys.OWNER_UUID, PersistentDataType.STRING, player.getUniqueId().toString());
    pdc.set(Keys.MARKER_ID, PersistentDataType.STRING, markerId);
    pdc.set(Keys.MARKER_NAME, PersistentDataType.STRING, displayName);
    banner.update(true);

[wet breach]

then it should be part of the destroyed blocks list from explosion event

[silk mirage]

I need to retrieve these information from the banner before it drops, breaks or gets destroyed

Does ItemSpawnevent give me the banner's old state/presistent data container?

[wet breach]

I doubt it, but nott entirely sure. you can test it 🙂

[silk mirage]

What about "BlockDestoryEvent"

ired anytime the server intends to 'destroy' a block through some triggering reason. This does not fire anytime a block is set to air, but only with more direct triggers such as physics updates, pistons, entities changing blocks, commands set to "Destroy".

[wet breach]

try it out

[silk mirage]

okay i'll try this

[kindred valley]

its possible if you know java and spigot well

there you go. I have some links for you.

[chrome beacon]

This is not a "learnjava" situation

[clear elm]

How can I remove the "Blaze"

[lilac dagger]

try different item flags

one of them could work

or create a spawner that's not blaze if that's possible

[clear elm]

It needs to be Blaze

[clear elm]

Do you know which one?

[lilac dagger]

hmm

actually i don't think it's this

[clear elm]

Do you have an idea how I could hide/remove the "Blaze"?

[humble tulip]

Did you try hide attributes?

[clear elm]

Yes

[humble tulip]

And hide potion effects?

[mortal vortex]

Yeah it’s ItemFlag#HIDE_POTION_EFFECTS

100%

[clear elm]

I dont have this Itemflag for some reason

[smoky anchor]

You're on Paper aren't you

[clear elm]

no

[humble tulip]

Nah that’s latest spigot

[humble tulip]

This isn’t latest

[clear elm]

spigot 1.21.10

[humble tulip]

Not sure what it is

Lemme look through the flags

One sec

[clear elm]

thanks

[mortal vortex]

HIDE_ADDITIONAL_TOOLTIP

[humble tulip]

Try hide additional tooltip

Yup^^

[clear elm]

1sec

Thanks guys

it works

Also any ideas how I can remove the warning?

[chrome beacon]

You cannot

[clear elm]

...

[chrome beacon]

It's clientside

[clear elm]

oh

[chrome beacon]

but it only shows for people who are op so it won't affect regular players

[clear elm]

Ah okay thanks

[lilac dagger]

oh yeah, i use 1.18 api i forgot to mention

[mortal hare]

i wonder how would bukkit api would look like if it had native support for reactive extensions

[lilac dagger]

what's a reactive extension?

[mortal hare]

imagine something like

World.getEntities().filter(entity -> entity instanceof Player player).subscribe(player -> player.sendMessage("Hello world!"))

its basically Stream API

but for async operations

its like bukkit events

but resembles more of handling things like Stream API from java

[lilac dagger]

oh yeah

[mortal hare]

you would get the benefit of quick and easy event listeners, and at the same time more async compatible way of doing things on the server without breaking the synchronization

since some callbacks for those observables could just execute on the main thread instead

that would be pretty cool isnt it

[lilac dagger]

it's cool

but i already found a cool pattern for my code

i just run an executor and if i need to run on main thread i just Bukkit.runTask(plugin, runnable);

[mortal hare]

yea but that's way uglier than stream api like notation

[lilac dagger]

you could make such a utility yourself if you like it more

[mortal hare]

reactive extensions would allow to refactor NMS to support more async operations too since you dont expect users to get blocking snapshots of entities anymore

[lilac dagger]

hmm

true

it'd be pretty modern

[thorn isle]

mmm yes lets put the streams back in nms after we've spent 5 years slowly replacing them with regular loops because they perform horribly

[lilac dagger]

i don't really understand programming when it comes to jit

so streams are slow?

[wet breach]

can be depending how they are being used

they are nice because they provide some conviences but conviences come at a cost usually you know

[buoyant viper]

when they first came out they were known to typically perform worse than /traditional/ ways of performing the equivalent operations

pretty sure theyve gotten better over the years

[wet breach]

yeah, but loops are still more optimal in most cases but that shouldn't be the primary factor in why you stick to a loop lol same goes with using streams.

[mortal hare]

there's concept of sinks, where you can building custom implementation of such async streams by just pushing the values like a buffer, only exposing it from outside through Observable interface, so this is not really relevant

im not saying replace everything in NMS

im talking about API surface

instead of having split bukkit event api and snapshots, why not just combine them both under one API

with observables from reactive extensions

those observables would allow allow you to iterate through existing values and also subscribe to new ones.

[pseudo tapir]

private record AxolotlImpl(
    org.bukkit.entity.Axolotl.Variant variant
) implements VariantComponent.Axolotl {
    @Override
    public void apply(@NotNull ItemStack itemStack, @Nullable Player player) {
        boolean applyBucket = ItemUtil.editMeta(itemStack, AxolotlBucketMeta.class, meta -> {
            meta.setVariant(this.variant);
        });
        boolean applySpawnEgg = ItemUtil.editMeta(itemStack, SpawnEggMeta.class, meta -> {
            EntitySnapshot spawnedEntity = meta.getSpawnedEntity();
            if (spawnedEntity == null){
                spawnedEntity = Bukkit.getEntityFactory().createEntitySnapshot("{id:\"minecraft:axolotl\"}");
                meta.setSpawnedEntity(spawnedEntity);
            }
            if (spawnedEntity instanceof org.bukkit.entity.Axolotl axolotl) {
                axolotl.setVariant(this.variant);
            } else {
                Logger.info("Spawned entity is not an Axolotl for item: " + itemStack.getType().name());
            }
        });
        if (!applyBucket && !applySpawnEgg && Configuration.enableDebug)
            Logger.info("Could not apply Axolotl variant to item: " + itemStack.getType().name());
    }
}

I don't get any errors when creating the entity, but I get my log message saying that the spawned entity is not an axolotl. :/

[sullen marlin]

Snapshot won't be instance of axolotl. Check the methods in EntitySnapshot

[autumn zinc]

What is better to use pluginInstance.getServer() or Bukkit.getServer() ?

[buoyant viper]

plugin, most likely?

sticking within the scope of what ur plugin is using 💪🏻🤞🏻

[young knoll]

Pretty sure the server instance is static

So it doesn’t really make a difference

[pseudo tapir]

Good ty
For people who want :

EntitySnapshot spawnedEntity = meta.getSpawnedEntity();
if (spawnedEntity == null){
    spawnedEntity = Bukkit.getEntityFactory().createEntitySnapshot("{id:\"minecraft:axolotl\"}");
}
if (player != null && spawnedEntity.createEntity(player.getWorld()) instanceof org.bukkit.entity.Axolotl axolotl){
    axolotl.setVariant(this.variant);
    EntitySnapshot axolotlSnapshot = axolotl.createSnapshot();
    if (axolotlSnapshot != null) {
        meta.setSpawnedEntity(axolotlSnapshot);
    }
}

[mighty herald]

I can't ping archive.apache.org, and BuildTools doesn't detect that I have Maven installed, so it tries to download it but can't. Is there any way to use BuildTools offline or to make it use the installed Maven?

Maven does not exist, downloading. Please wait.

It should detect your local maven install if you have the M2_HOME environment variable set

[mighty herald]

Oh, thank you! My variable had a different name. 😅

[chrome beacon]

M2_HOME is a very old name

MAVEN_HOME is what's used nowadays but BuildTools never got the update for that

[silk mirage]

This is the funniest shit I have heard today

I've been working as a SWE for more than 5 years

[young knoll]

Okay?

[silk mirage]

Hi jishuna

[silk mirage]

PS: I got around the issue. BlockDestoryEvent does the trick even though it's not the most intuitive at the beginning.

[young knoll]

If you only care about the item appearing

There’s an ItemSpawnEvent

[silk mirage]

I needed to get the underlying Presistent Data Container

[young knoll]

Of the block entity?

[silk mirage]

Of the banner, yes.

BlockDestoryEvent glitched a little for me when integrating with Bolt and WorldGuard. I got through that with some maneuvers (a delay to check if banners still there)

To use, BlockPhysicsEvent, I would need to umm cancel the physics of the attached block rather than the banner itself.

[young knoll]

Ah yeah sadly you won’t be able to get the block if you just use the item spawn event

[chrome beacon]

It's still not a language issue 💀

[thorn isle]

lol

[silk mirage]

Ragebaits are insane

Alas this ragebait is more ragebaity then ones in linkedin

[wet breach]

sadly as cool this is, it doesn't necessarily mean you know java or many languages for that matter. However you should at least know the concepts fairly easy though because you would need to know some languages to be a SWE

[ivory sleet]

the problem with reactive programming and libraries like RxJava and Flux is first of all the debugging nightmare, those patterns are also contagious to the caller, if you use RxJava on an API level, then every api consumer is enforced to use it that way, contrary to if you offer some Collection for example. When we use bukkits event API its very specific in terms of the observer pattern and its intented use- you absolutely dont wanna enforce that everywhere just because it might be nice to add more chains of code on some event (however in the light of async and concurrency it is a more acceptable argument), more so implementing a reactive design natively is really complex especially if you use buffering/sinking techniques, mind you dealing with concurrent programming as is hardly ever trivial.

but another reason for example Flux (async reactive programming) was so favored involved Java not offering lightweight threads; that is scalability sucked, which as of j21 invalidates (virtual threads)

[smoky anchor]

Why is this troll still allowed to be here -_-

[autumn zinc]

Is it okay to use Plugin.getPlugin(Plugin.class) to get the plugin instance?

[lilac dagger]

should be fine

[sly topaz]

is it okay? Yes. Is it recommended? I wouldn't be able to answer so decisively

[fickle spindle]

Hello, i came here today to ask to all of you an important question. I'm wanting to create public plugins for help server overs to have more features in they server easy but before the creation of a plugin this question always come in my mind... What should i use Paper/Spigot, what should i use Java/Kotlin and which version i should use? Thanks for answering and if you need more information / you are more curious just let me know

[pseudo hazel]

if you know kotlin already you could use that, but it wont really make it easier

regarding spigot/paper that's a hard question

they both have different advantages and disadvantages

[slender elbow]

you are also likely to get a different answer if you ask here vs paper discord, lmao

go to a kfc and ask if taco bell is better

[fickle spindle]

i mean it's really that big of a deal java / Kotlin? (as right now i mainly know java)

[fickle spindle]

what about maven/gradle?

[pseudo hazel]

if you know mainly java, use java

kotlin is not like faster or better than java or anything

I prefer gradle

but this is preference pretty much all the way

[fickle spindle]

oh okay thank i thought there was something behind thanks

[onyx fjord]

they will tell you that both are amazing

[echo basalt]

Both owned by the same company

[lilac dagger]

first or second?

i like the first one because it encapsulates the write executor

but i don't like that Callable<Void> requires a return

[thorn isle]

futures get around this by distinguishing between accept and apply

[lilac dagger]

hmm

[thorn isle]

personally i would just use an executor and completablefutures, there's no need to reinvent this wheel

e.g. CompletableFuture.runAsync(() -> output.writeUTF("keep-alive"), writeExecutor);

one of the biggest annoyances with futures is that it's very easy to swallow exceptions by fogetting to join/get/exceptionally a future anywhere, but you can get around with it by setting a default exception handler for your executor iirc

[slender elbow]

that doesn't work with futures precisely because they swallow them to be part of the future pipeline

so you can handle them downstream

and that code doesn't compile because exceptions

[thorn isle]

oh yeah

i usually wrap them in a sneaky runnable that sneakily propagates them up

i do remember there being a way to set a default exception handler for futures

though now that i think of it more, i think it was hacky somehow

[slender elbow]

yeah I have no idea what you have in mind

[thorn isle]

let me see if i can find the stackoverflow thread

    ExecutorService executorService = new ThreadPoolExecutor(
        1,
        1,
        0L,
        TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS,
        new LinkedBlockingQueue()
    ) {
        @Override
        protected void beforeExecute(final Thread t, final Runnable r) {
            super.beforeExecute(t, r);

            if (r.getClass().getName().equals("java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture$AsyncRun")) {
                try {
                    final Field f = r.getClass().getDeclaredField("dep");
                    f.setAccessible(true);
                    ((CompletableFuture<?>) f.get(r)).exceptionally(e -> {
                        LoggerFactory.getLogger(ExceptionTest.class).error("Error in runAsync " + r, e);
                        UnsafeUtils.getUnsafe().throwException(e);
                        return null;
                    });
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    System.out.println("Failed to hack CompletableFuture$AsyncRun to report exceptions.");
                }
            }
        }

        protected void afterExecute(Runnable r, Throwable t) {
            super.afterExecute(r, t);

            if (t == null && r instanceof Future<?>) {
                try {
                    Future<?> future = (Future<?>) r;
                    if (future.isDone()) {
                        future.get();
                    }
                } catch (CancellationException ce) {
                    t = ce;
                } catch (ExecutionException ee) {
                    t = ee.getCause();
                } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
                    Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
                }
            }
            if (t != null) {
                LoggerFactory.getLogger(ExceptionTest.class).error("Error in async task " + r, t);
            }
        }
    };

mmmm yes

it indeed is hacky

[slender elbow]

you know you can just subclass CompletableFuture and override completeExceptionally

yes?

[thorn isle]

presumably, though most futures come about by the factory methods

i'm also not sure how that'll work with chaining

[slender elbow]

new MyFuture<>().completeAsync(task, executor)

newIncompleteFuture

completeAsync is a jdk method already so nothing to do on tha[ front

[thorn isle]

it'll be a bit awkward with chaining, ideally you'd only attach it at the end, but I suppose that doesn't work with the above hack either

[thorn isle]

in what way specifically

[ivory sleet]

?ban @kindred valley repeated trolling

[undone axle]

Done. That felt good.

[smoky anchor]

Thank you!

[thorn isle]

to be fair in this particular case it was a somewhat valid response

op did ask whether to use java or kotlin 🤡

[ivory sleet]

im sure should they have wanted to guide said user whether to use java or kotlin, one couldve produced a more productive and meaningful answer

[thorn isle]

myes, and in-context it was pretty obvious that they were just doing the same thing they have been doing for a while

[ivory sleet]

yee

[chrome beacon]

ngl about time

They've been doing that trolling for years now

[ivory sleet]

yea true, it shouldve been handed out long time ago, more so i had the impression they'd be helping out every so often (genuinely), but this goes beyond my leniency :>

[mortal hare]

i hate academics

this not right

NoSQL != Non-relational

NoSQL means not only sql, not "not sql"

sql also is just a query language it doesnt determine if something is relational is not

[chrome beacon]

It does actually

[mortal hare]

NoSQL databases use a variety of data models for accessing and managing data.

nothing in that name imply that

it can use relational and non-relational model

and still call itself NoSQL

simply because it would have another API to access the data

that's not only SQL based

NoSQL database definition: NoSQL stands for “not only SQL,” meaning that these databases support more functionality than structured query language (SQL) only.

[thorn isle]

nosql is snake oil

[mortal hare]

well i dont see any of its use apart from CQRS

or data sharding with replication

where you would build more optimized readonly views of the data for the specific use case, but keep everything normalized in primary relational database

by offloading reads from main database and directing all reads to that nosql database instead, it would still need to write to replica when normalized database would be written, but those writes would be way cheaper due to lack of constraint enforcement and other stuff that sql based db's do by default

unless you're doing geoaware data sharding or you're meta or amazon this is useless because our shitty apps would never peak that much anyways

https://tenor.com/view/jesus-cuñao-risitas-lmao-gif-7052856929035358467

apart from that yeah nosql is just bunch of snake oil tbh

[lavish wing]

It's vanilla jars deobfuscated with bukkit mappings

[chrome beacon]

Can just recreate them then

[lavish wing]

but where I can get bukkit mappings

[chrome beacon]

Time to do some digging on stash

I wasn't around back then so I'm not sure where they were stored

\o I have a Hytale mod but I'll ask here as the question is not Hytale specific :D
My mod uses Lua. Part of the Lua code is loaded from a git repository I depend on.
How do I properly bundle it in the mod, I don't feel that it's a good idea to just have the full git repository in resources of the jar.
Just feels weird.

ig I could just create a task that would update the git repo and copy the files I need into resources
but idk how to make such a custom task

[thorn isle]

do it at runtime for maximum RCE potential

[young knoll]

Yay

[smoky anchor]

Great idea!
Ty for the help guys

oh maven just ignores the .git and .gitignore files when packaging
so all good ig

i wish zstd compression tool was in java so i'd be able to replace gzip with it

i don't like depending on external libraries

[thorn isle]

it's worth it even despite the external library

and i think paper bundles it in for network compression or something anyway, so it's basically guaranteed to be present at runtime without bundling it into the jar

[lilac dagger]

hmm, i do have a paper module

i might be able to cram this option in there if possible

[thorn isle]

i don't remember what i forked to switch backup compression from gzip to zstd, but the backups now compress into like one tenth of the size thrice as fast

maybe towny

[lilac dagger]

i don't think i'll shade in zstd in my plugins anytime soon

before ^

[echo basalt]

it's only 8mb fym

pterodactyl only starts getting shaky around the 30-50mb range

[lilac dagger]

it's still too much for me

i just send a simple json over a socket

1 megabyte maximum realistically

[slender elbow]

my mate's chat formatting plugin is like 60mb

grow up smh

[young knoll]

How much of that is a Bitcoin miner

[slender elbow]

none

[thorn isle]

shaded in gson (just in case) and apache math and probably all of netty on accident

[slender elbow]

it has, like, a few kotlin libraries

and a whole web framework

[echo basalt]

a plugin aint a real plugin if it doesnt shade spigot

[shadow night]

I once accidentally shaded the minecraft client in a fabric mod

I was like "huh why is the jar 100mb"

[echo basalt]

god move

[shadow night]

I thought it was like some sort of transitive dependencies or smth

turned out to be minecraft

happens Ig

[fickle mantle]

how do I get the PrimedTNT entity in the tntprimeevent?

[worldly ingot]

You kinda can't. That event is called before the actual priming happens so the entity doesn't exist yet

Best you could do is run a task 1 tick later and get the closest TNTPrimed entity to the block that was ignited

Or better yet, you can use an EntitySpawnEvent if you don't care too much about the priming. You can still get the entity that ignited it with TNTPrimed#getSource()

[umbral ridge]

Choco you would be a good teacher

[sacred mountain]

are unchecked casts fine as long as i know what im trying to do, or does that mean ive not following proper conventions
