What error

extend EntityZombie instead of Entity

Yeah the zombie is probably a good place to start

I know that 😦 But i want to make multiple entity class it's just example

[wet breach]

you can extend it if you want, but you also have to implement what you are extending too

[quaint mantle]

okay

[quaint mantle]

hmmm

So should I implements all of "EntityChicken, EntityCow, EntityZombie, EntityArmorstand, EntitySkeleton" Etc?

[wet breach]

what I meant is if you are extending EntityZombie for instance, you need to implement your entity class at some point otherwise you won't have your custom entities

[quaint mantle]

simply overiding the class won't do you any good on it's own

hmm are you saying implements EntitySkeleton?

if so, it would be very annoy

I don't want to extend each entity type, so I want to create a class that can extend all entities.

[wet breach]

Lets say, your custom entity class is called FlamingSkeleton. Which then extends EntitySkeleton. You will need to implement FlamingSkeleton at some point to have that entity spawn. Unless you are implementing EntitySkeleton and not just simply extending it.

[night copper]

idk why but this doesn't work, https://prnt.sc/137x2hz

[quaint mantle]

hmm yaaa but I want make a class that can extend all entities.

for example,

[eternal oxide]

You can't easily

[wet breach]

well, not sure you are going to be able to extend them all as easily as you think

[quaint mantle]

sadd:(

[wet breach]

you would first need to extend the most upper common interface they all share

and then do some magic with casting

possibly would need some reflection in there lol

[eternal oxide]

all bukkit entities extend Entity. You can;t make them extend your class, so you can only extend theirs.

[quaint mantle]

The reason I want to make it is because I'm making an npc plugin and I want to adjust the pathfinder to create an entity type.

so the pathfinder is going to create an entity?

[quaint mantle]

hm, okay. so i can't make a class that can extends all entity?

[wet breach]

not the way you think it would

[eternal oxide]

no, you can only extend one

[quaint mantle]

I want adjust pathfinder of entity

of ALL entities?

yaaa

like citizens plugin

[wet breach]

that is easy to do, and don't need to have a class extending entities to adjust pathfinder stufff

[quaint mantle]

should've just said that

[quaint mantle]

rly?

Just listen to the pathfind event

can I adjust pathfinder without custom entity class?

[quaint mantle]

oh

[wet breach]

you can register custom pathfinder goals and use reflection to change it for entities

[quaint mantle]

okay!!

i'll try 🙂

[wet breach]

or use the API to change the pathfinder goals depending which version you are using

[quaint mantle]

I'm not depending apis sorry!

[wet breach]

think recent versions lets you set pathfinder stuff without reflection

meant version of spigot

[quaint mantle]

I'm using 1.15.2 😉

thanks you all of you guys

I'll tryyy

1. pathfinder event

[wet breach]

can do some searching using the terms entity pathfinder goals

should be able to find plenty of resources on it

[quaint mantle]

oh!

thanks u

[junior tinsel]

Hello! I think i'm missing something. I have created some custom 'items' based on the Material Paper. There are some right click actions etc and everything works fine. I got some of these items in Shopkeepers and that works fine as well with no problems.
Now my question is. Do these 'custom items' have ids or something to identify them? Cause i was looking at other plugins (e.g. GUIShop) where i have to put the items in the config and i have no idea how to reference them? Thanks in advance!

[wet breach]

unfortunately you would need to make your plugin that creates custom items, hook into plugins that you want it to work for since the only difference between the item your custom item is based on and your custom item, is most of the time the lore or some nbt data and not necessarily the name since mc clients wouldn't know what it is.

the best you can do with naming is set a custom display name, but that doesn't change the underlying items name

some shop plugins are open source however, so the alternative if this is something you are making for your server is to alter the shops source code and compile a custom version of it.

[junior tinsel]

thanks for your answer! Yeah i was thinking that the only way would indeed be display name (including color characters) or nbt? but i haven't played with nbt tags yet.
I don't mind hooking into other plugins. I indeed thought it was like how you just described it but i thought i will ask 😄
That could be a solution indeed thanks! I'm going to see how we are going to move forward. Otherwise i can setup my own quick gui to buy some items as a plan c.

[wet breach]

well sounds like you are on the right track then 😉

[quaint mantle]

hmmm I learned how to make custom pathfindergoal but how can I make entity to run this pathfindergoal without extending Entity class?

or did I learn anything that didn't matter?

[wet breach]

reflection is a way to do that

[quaint mantle]

okay

i'll learn reflection pathfinder

hmmmmmmmm

reflection pathfinder tutorial doesn't exists

[wet breach]

you can go the route of creating custom entity classes, but that is usually easier to do if you are only wanting to modify limited entities and not an ideal way for all entities. So reflection is your best bet to limit the amount of code you have to do.

that is because reflection isn't specific to anything. But you can find tutorials on how to use reflection for NMS

and then you would apply that knowledge to change pathfinder goals on entities

[quaint mantle]

hmm okay

but I couldn't find reflection pathfinder tutorial 😦

btw, I know a bit of reflection

[wet breach]

https://bukkit.org/threads/set-noai-tag-to-entity-with-reflection-if-possible.388500/

this contains information on how to change an nbt tag for noai using reflection

basically, same concept for you, just you are wanting to change the pathfinder stuff

[quaint mantle]

thanks!

[wet breach]

reflection can be difficult and one of those things where you are going to have to mess with it a bit

[quaint mantle]

oh! I needed noAI And the reason I needed pathfinder was because I wanted to get rid of mob AI with initPathfinder().

it's ok

i'll try hard

[wet breach]

lol well then looks like I found the perfect resource for you then 😛

but, if the reason you wanted to alter pathfinder stuff was to get rid of mobAI

just know the spigot API has methods to do just that

and pretty sure they exist in 1.15

[quaint mantle]

omg

lolxD

We've come a long way back

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/LivingEntity.html#setAI(boolean)

[quaint mantle]

omg we could do just "setAI"

lol

[wet breach]

just have to check that the entity is an instance of living entity and if so, use that method to turn off the AI 😛

[quaint mantle]

but thanks you. i learened so much about reflection!

[wet breach]

that is the best way to look at it 😉

[quaint mantle]

how can I change mob(entity but not player)'s uuid? (to get uuid, we are using "entity#getUniqueID()"

in google, people says it's Possible, but they doesn't tell how to do. and they only say "don't do that"

[wet breach]

UUID is created when the entity is spawned thus that is where you would need to change it and it shouldn't be changed so as long as the entity is alive otherwise you will most likely introduce memory leaks since the server would lose track of it.

[quaint mantle]

hmm

[wet breach]

usually there isn't a reason to change it

[quaint mantle]

I want to change it cuz i'm making npc

[dense goblet]

Is there a way to make particles visible from further away?

same for sounds

[wraith rapids]

you can use the force parameter to have them display at a longer range iirc

[dense goblet]

okay, that means I need to provide a data parameter, can I just set that to null?

[wraith rapids]

tbh i don't know, probably yes

[wet breach]

@quaint mantle just keep track of your npc's UUID's. no need to change it or attempt to change it.

[quaint mantle]

hmm?

I want to do entity#.getUniqueID

to get my npc's id 🙂

[eternal night]

store it in the PDC instead maybe ?

mutating the UUID might have some nasty side effects

[dense goblet]

oh great it worked ty!

[eternal oxide]

Surely the UUID will be filled in when you create teh Entity on the server

as you extending existing Entity classes

[eternal night]

oh

[quaint mantle]

yap, but it's random 🙂

[eternal oxide]

yes its always random

[quaint mantle]

yaa so I want to make my own npc's uuid

[wraith rapids]

why

[eternal oxide]

Just use the UUID the server gives you

[quaint mantle]

but it always random

[wet breach]

it may be random, but you are going to have to keep track of your NPC's anyways. That means somewhere you should be logging your custom NPC's to a file with their location and you can then store their UUID as well.

UUID's don't change once they are created

[eternal oxide]

yes, update teh UUID you have when you spawn it

you are meaning for tracking it across server starts?

[quaint mantle]

ya

or realod

[wraith rapids]

just use the uuid you get from the entity

[eternal oxide]

Yes, just update your UUID reference when you spawn it

[quaint mantle]

yaaaaaaaa

[wraith rapids]

the point of an uuid is to be universally unique

you reusing the same UUID multiple times is countercurrent to this maxim

[wet breach]

you can listen for the spawn entity event, check its your NPC via various things and then grab the UUID of said entity

[quaint mantle]

oh okay

thanks you guys.

i'll change uuid when server reload.

wait

hmm

nvm!

[wet breach]

UUID's persist between restarts, so once you have it, log it and log the location of said NPC as well

now, you can reference your entity unless it dies and gets regenerated

[quaint mantle]

ya!!

thanks you

[quaint mantle]

are your NPC's actual entities?

like player entities

what is actual entite?

Like are they actually entities?

Usually NPCs are spawned via packets so they aren't actually registered @quaint mantle

I'm spawning with world#spawnEntity

[granite stirrup]

Why was I pinged

[dense goblet]

what is the proper way to get the server time in ticks (that doesnt break with daylightcycle off etc)?

[granite stirrup]

I mean idk but papi works XD

[dense goblet]

who is papi lol

[granite stirrup]

A plugin lmao

Placeholderapi

There's a api for it so u can use and make placeholders lmao

[granite stirrup]

Docs?

[dense goblet]

docs?

I'd rather not rely on an API when not needed so i think I'll go with incrementing a variable in a runnable (that already exists anyway cause I need to do other stuff every tick)

[chrome beacon]

Sounds like a bad move for performance

[granite stirrup]

Well I guess but read the spigot docs

To find the method u need

[dense goblet]

its just a single int operation plus I need the runnable anyway so I dont see how it would affect performance

[dense goblet]

I could only find world.getTime() and the built-in java time that is independent of ticks

that wont work with variable tickrates unfortunately

plus that would actually be less efficient than incrementing a counter

if there's no builtin way to directly get ticks then ig the counter is my best option

[paper viper]

uh don't use papi for this lmao. that is for players in game not for code

papi stands for placeholderapi, a pretty popular plugin for its placeholders

its well documented and stuff, but not viable here

[granite stirrup]

Well yeah but I mean it has a server time placeholder i think

[dense goblet]

I settled for this: https://imgur.com/a/MYRrJEB

        tickTime++;

    public static int getTickTime() {
        return tickTime;

            }
        }.runTaskTimer(this, 0, 1);

[paper viper]

i know its a utility class, but why not just use a manager instead

[dense goblet]

is there a difference?

[paper viper]

Yes, your use of static here is not proper

static is used for constant variables

like enums are just public static final fields

but you are making the counter mutable

[dense goblet]

VanillaUtils is a static class but java does not support static classes (in the traditional sense)

[paper viper]

?

[dense goblet]

oh no

you're thinking of final

final makes it immutable

[paper viper]

What?

no it doesnt

[shadow skiff]

How could I add a cooldown to the command here, sothat players can't just spam it before all the messages have been sent?

    if (cmd.getName().equals("npcleo") && 
      sender instanceof Player) {
      final Player player = (Player)sender;
      player.sendMessage("Progressing through your Collections unlocks new crafting recipes, brewing recipes, trades, enchantments, and more!");
      Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask((Plugin)this, new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
              player.sendMessage("Visit resource areas like the and Mine gather items for your Collections!");
            }
          },  20L);
      Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask((Plugin)this, new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
              player.sendMessage("There is a of the you can gather Oak Logs.");
            }
          },  60L);
      Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask((Plugin)this, new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
              player.sendMessage("The world is full of resources. Explore the island to discover new items that you can collect!");
            }
          },  100L);
      return true;
    } 

[paper viper]

it just makes it so it cant be assigned again

not immutable

[dense goblet]

static makes it accessible on a class-basis rather than an instance basis

[granite stirrup]

In incrementTickTime why do u need a static ??

[dense goblet]

thats what I meant my bad

for the case of ints it is equivalent

[paper viper]

???

what?

[granite stirrup]

You have to keep track of the time and check the difference between two times I think

[dense goblet]

since they're primitives, a non-reassignable int is effectively immutable

[granite stirrup]

Idk how to do it but yeah

[dense goblet]

but returning to your original point, static is not used for constant variables

that is static final

or just final if you want it to be constant for an instance rather than for the whole class

static is used to make a field instance-independent

[paper viper]

uh no

static itself

the concept itself

is supposed

to be used for constants

even though final could do that, static is supposed to be used for constant variables

that will not change constantly

regardless final or not

That is the proper use and when you should use it

[dense goblet]

its a variable that can not be re-assigned, so it must be set either in the declaration or in the constructor

[granite stirrup]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[paper viper]

I am referring to properly using static correctly...

ok idk how to explain to this kid

@granite stirrup do you know how i could rephrase this

lmao

[granite stirrup]

Why are u guys fighting about static lmao

[paper viper]

Because he is using it incorrectly

[dense goblet]

I disagree. You are being cocky. There is a difference between static and static final for a reason.

[paper viper]

Yes there is. But static itself should really only be used for constant variables

I am not trying to be cocky here, I am trying to tell you why you shouldnt use it here

[dense goblet]

then what would be the point of static and static final being two distinct concepts if they should only ever serve the same function?

[paper viper]

Because sometimes you define it later but never change it, and not directly in the static block

static variables should remain constant

there is a reason why if you look at the bytecode for enums

its the exact same as public static final, it remains constant

you cant modify an enum class at runtime, right?

Therefore, this is why enums use static. It's because they are constant

@quaint mantle help me out here

lmao

[quaint mantle]

reeeeeeeeeeee

[eternal night]

Example for a non final one would be the server instance stored in Bukkit.

[paper viper]

Pls

[dense goblet]

that doesn't imply anything about static, it implies something about public static final which is a separate concept from just static or public static. Plus, sticking to this concept provides no benefits and makes using utility classes harder to work with

[quaint mantle]

tldr me

[paper viper]

Aight

explain to this kid

why you shouldnt use static

for mutable shit

[paper viper]

Uh yes it does

[dense goblet]

okay explain to me this:
You have a utility class which provides many static functions. Say one of them is used often with same parameters and takes a long time to compute, so you want to cache the last result. How do you do this without using mutable static fields?

[paper viper]

but it isnt a utility class

it should be a manager class

and you arent even caching at all

[dense goblet]

what is your definition of a utility class

[paper viper]

so idk what you are saying

[dense kestrel]

yo, hows everyone doing

[paper viper]

A utiltiy class DOES NOT mutate static variables and SHOULD NOT

in any way

[dense goblet]

its an example for why mutable static fields are useful

[eternal night]

Neither should a utility class maintain a cache 👀

[dense goblet]

maybe we have different concepts of utility classes

[paper viper]

no there isnt different concepts, you are just simply in-denial and need to change

[eternal night]

Utility classed should (imo) be purely functional and have no side effects

[dense goblet]

I wouldn't personally consider a cache as a side-effect as it is purely internal

[paper viper]

???

[dense goblet]

but I see what you mean by no side effects

that makes sense, utility is used to calculate stuff while a manager manages (therefore should have side effects)

[eternal night]

I mean a cache is 100% a side effect

Yeah

[paper viper]

"There is no good reason to have a mutable object as the public (by default), static member of an interface. Such variables should be moved into classes and their visibility lowered.

Similarly, mutable static members of classes and enumerations which are accessed directly, rather than through getters and setters, should be protected to the degree possible. That can be done by reducing visibility or making the field final if appropriate.

Note that making a mutable field, such as an array, final will keep the variable from being reassigned, but doing so has no effect on the mutability of the internal state of the array (i.e. it doesn't accomplish the goal)."

[eternal night]

If you wanna cache some results do so in a designated class

[dense goblet]

it's a side effect of the function but not a side-effect of the class. If I had a program which needed to retrieve images, I would have an ImageUtils class which would have a function that retrieves an image from a path and a cache (HashMap in this case) to store previous results. In my eyes, the image retrieval function modifying the cache is not a side effect of the class but just a side effect of the function, so it's contained enough to be valid for a utility class.

[dense goblet]

Your top two paragraphs strengthen my point and the bottom paragraph we have agreed on already

[quaint mantle]

Mostly it boils down to the reasoning of "does it make sense for this to be static?", things like data managers and carriers (google DAO & DTO) are instance specific. It kinda defeats the whole purpose of OOP if you have a static "StorageProvider" with a single storage system, that will not turn out very well when you decide to allow for other methods, e.g you primarily allow for something like json only, then expand to sql, then mongo, then all of them with a mix & match for certain parts of the system (e.g. you store logs in sql but user data in mongo), that's gonna get messy fast from a design perspective, 100% resolvable with abstraction and using static in a mutable element like that completely defeats the purpose of OOP
https://stackoverflow.com/a/2671636/8083725

Utility classes and functions are at the end of the day "convenience methods", "shortcuts", they don't handle anything in particular that is going to affect the rest of the system, they are a shortcut to something you provide

[dense goblet]

@quaint mantle for context, here is my use of static

[paper viper]

What?

did you even read it properly?

Such variables should be moved into classes and their visibility lowered.

[dense goblet]

yes

say I started with an interface

I then move my field to a class (VanillaUtils)

and I lower the visibility (private)

now I am at the point I originally posted

[granite stirrup]

Wait tickTime doesn't even need to be static lmao

[dense goblet]

same for the 2nd paragraph, it is indeed private and accessed through getters and setters 🙂

[dense goblet]

I never make an instance of VanillaUtils so thats why it is static

[paper viper]

when they mean "move to a class", they mean towards an actual instance, not classfield level

[dense goblet]

if they wanted it to be moved to an instance, they would specify to remove the static keyword

[quaint mantle]

you should, it's specific to your plugin startup

[granite stirrup]

Then make a instance of it ;-;

[paper viper]

"There is no good reason to have a mutable object as the public (by default), static member of an interface"

i beleive interface in this context is referring to the class

like interface of a program

[dense goblet]

this class is not, but true I should do it for ProjectileManager so ty

[quaint mantle]

the class isn't (you made it static.. ) but the tick time is

[dense goblet]

what is the crash log?

[steep nova]

I think he means when you actually create the circle object

like new Circle()

that part of the code

[eternal oxide]

for (int n = 1; i < partic + 1; n++) { You never change teh value of i

infinite loop

[granite stirrup]

Coding is fun :)

[steep nova]

i agree

[granite stirrup]

Lmao

[dense goblet]

true, that's a good point.. You made me realise there would be problems with this approach even if it used server's time since restarting the server would reset the time to zero

and then time comparisons would break since I'm using the time for a cooldown

[paper viper]

doesnt /reload reload the static fields?

[quaint mantle]

mmm classloaders :^)

If you're working with cooldowns and want it to be time based instead of tick based I strongly suggest you use Instants

[dense goblet]

what is InstantS?

[quaint mantle]

Or a plain ol' long gotten from System.currentTimeMillis()

[quaint mantle]

an Instant represents a point in time

an.. instant

[paper viper]

50 milliseconds is one mc tick

[dense goblet]

I prefer it to be tick based as all other game logic is also tick based

[quaint mantle]

ideally

[dense goblet]

ah I see

[paper viper]

Mhm

without any of the slowdowns

and stuff

[quaint mantle]

till lag kicks in lol

[dense goblet]

I think I'll go for an alternate solution

how inefficient is changing item NBT?

[quaint mantle]

• instants have a lot of methods if you want to do math with them pretty easily, get a Duration (which also has lots of nice methods) etc

[paper viper]

dont change item nbt every tick

please no

just dont

thats a horrible solution

that would be very inefficient

[dense goblet]

my initial solution would only change NBT when you shoot and the new one would decrease a counter when you hold a weapon that's going through a cooldown but I see thats not a good idea

[crude charm]

solution to what?

[paper viper]

read up

Zoi

[dense goblet]

I need a cooldown for an item

[crude charm]

use a hashmap

[dense goblet]

if tick based proves too inefficient then I'll go with this

[crude charm]

and runnable

[quaint mantle]

tick based sounds suitable

but

[dense goblet]

hm now that I think of it, I'm gonna need a hashmap + runnable combo anyway for automatic weapons so could squeeze that in there too

[quaint mantle]

you shouldn't have a decreasing counter/latch

[crude charm]

wdym

[maiden briar]

Can somebody give me an json example of bungee's click and hover event?

[dense goblet]

question - if the player moves an item in their inventory or drops it to the ground, does the ItemStack reference become invalid?

[quaint mantle]

you should store the start time and then check

if (now - start > cooldown) {
  // cooldown's over
} else {
  // cooldown is still in effect
}

tick based sounds suitable still

[dense goblet]

yeah that was my original idea

[quaint mantle]

probably, itemstacks are copied and cloned left right and center

[crude charm]

ye do what I said hashmap and runnables

if they in the hash they have a cooldown

[dense goblet]

but say I shoot on tick 1000 and then restart the server

that will cause problems

maybe initialising the tick counter as current unix time / 20 could do the trick

and store it as a long

[dense goblet]

worried that a player could just move an item quickly to cancel its cooldown

say offhand hotkey

so I'd have to track the stack with events which is a PITA

gonna have a hashmap for players to figure out if they're holding down the mouse or not, cause the item use event is only received every 4+ ticks

[maiden briar]

Thanks

[quaint mantle]

Create your own :)

[maiden briar]

Btw, if I want to send a kind of this message with bukkit's sendMessage, is this possible?```json
{"text":"Test","bold":true,"italic":true,"underlined":true,"strikethrough":true,"obfuscated":true,"clickEvent":{"action":"open_url","value":"test.com"},"hoverEvent":{"action":"show_item","contents":"cake"}}

[quaint mantle]

The component's content is empty

That's gonna get ignored by the client

[maiden briar]

So I have to fill something in at text?

[quaint mantle]

mhm mhm

[maiden briar]

Ok, and can I pass this to bukkit's Player#sendMessage ?

[quaint mantle]

I don't think so, you can turn that into a BaseComponent[] with the ComponentSerializer and then send it

https://javadoc.io/doc/net.md-5/bungeecord-chat/latest/net/md_5/bungee/chat/ComponentSerializer.html

[maiden briar]

Ok

Because what I am trying is I want to create my own TextComponent class, but I don't know how to send the json to bukkit

[quaint mantle]

Because what I am trying is I want to create my own TextComponent class
why tho?

[maiden briar]

Then I can control it

[quaint mantle]

...?

Just use bungee chat TextComponent?

[maiden briar]

Ok, but I want to see if it's possible

[quaint mantle]

Uh sure..

In case you are not aware, Spigot includes the bungee chat api

I don't think Bukkit supports json components

[maiden briar]

Ok, thanks

Can't I use ComponetBuilder, and then return it?

[quaint mantle]

hm?

[maiden briar]

Yes I try

[quaint mantle]

what?

then use NBTAPI

works fine in 1.8

[cyan oyster]

help

im new

[dense kestrel]

with?

[cyan oyster]

development

why is this wrong?

[dense kestrel]

send it

[cyan oyster]

package test.Procupune.helloworld;

public class Main extends JavaPlugin {

}

i cant send image

[dense kestrel]

you want to do what???

[minor vapor]

```java
CODE

yikes

LOL

https://cdn.rainnny.club/143613718723.png

do that next time

[dense kestrel]

what exactly do you want to accomplish?

[eternal oxide]

You have no imports so your project is probably setup wrong and it will not know what JavaPlugin is.

[dense kestrel]

we need to know whats wrong though to help XD

[cyan oyster]

BRUH

i got warned for spamming

[eternal oxide]

you can;t type the same message twice or the bot removes it

[cyan oyster]

im in the website

[eternal oxide]

What IDE are you using? Eclipse or InteliJ?

[cyan oyster]

Ecilpse

[eternal oxide]

https://bukkit.fandom.com/wiki/Plugin_Tutorial_(Eclipse)

[dense kestrel]

well swap to Intellij to start

[eternal oxide]

Don;t,. ignore anyone who tells you to swop

[dense kestrel]

XD

its better

[minor vapor]

It comes to personal preference, use what you will

[eternal oxide]

Anyone who blankly tells you to change IDE with no valid reason is a fool. Ignore them

[minor vapor]

^

[dense kestrel]

🙄

Intellij has better shit to help someone new to coding Minecraft plugins

[eternal oxide]

If at some point you dislike the IDE you choose, then change. Or change if you find an IDE you prefer better

InteliJ has shit that HIDES bad programming practices for a beginner

I'd say InteliJ is better for people who already know how to write plugins. Having everything done for you behind the scenes is not good for learning.

[cyan oyster]

i will still use Eclipse

[eternal oxide]

Good. Follow that tutorial I showed you. It explains every step of making a plugin

so many issues, but you seem to be in teh wrong channel. You need #help-server

[dense kestrel]

Sorry, was in a Tetris game so couldnt respond, but Intellij diffidently has wayy more built in features to help with development. Also, hes new and seems to want to code Minecraft plugins (he could just use the Minecraft Development Kit and it will set most everything up for him). Also, Intellij will tell you when you are fucking up and when you are writing useless code better than Eclipse will. On top of that, on Intellij will better predict what you want to write next and have better auto completions for you. Thats why I think as a beginner he should 100% start on Intellij.

[minor garnet]

https://paste.md-5.net/uqonufeqez.cs why i gett this error

[eternal oxide]

You have some points, but I wasn;t trying to be rude, however, shortcut features will not make him a good programmer. Especially using the InteliJ MC plugin.

As for auto prediction, if you give that to a beginner its all they will ever use and learn almost nothing from it.

Its better to program in NP++ than to have things automated for a beginner

[dense kestrel]

Idk, i mean when I started I attempted to use Eclipse and honestly it made me feel like giving up because it was so confusion, Intellij helped a lot.

[dense kestrel]

let me take a look

which line is 41?

[eternal oxide]

I remember when you came in and started with questions. You were not a total beginner.

[dense kestrel]

i started like 9months ago or so probably

[eternal oxide]

Yep

[dense kestrel]

honestly, at this point i dont really get stuck anymore

so i just try to help other people XD

[ebon crescent]

I saw that you cannot access APIs from an asynch task. What exactly does that mean? I’d like to save log files every time the the server itself saves, which I tried using a world save event for, but is that allowed?

[dense kestrel]

Basically you are not supposed to access Bukkit methods in an async task, just use a normal task

[eternal oxide]

You can generally read data fine Async, you can not write. ALL file access shoudl be Async if you can.

[quiet ice]

Even reading is a bit concerning from time to time

Tho FIO (actually, IO in general) should be async here

[ebon crescent]

Yeah, I’m not worried about IO, I’m more concerned about whether I can run an async task from within a world save or I should schedule it independently

[quaint mantle]

I didn't coded it

    @EventHandler
    public void weather(WeatherChangeEvent e){
        e.getWorld().setStorm(false);
    }``` This will keep the weather clear right

[minor vapor]

just cancel the event?

[quaint mantle]

Yeah but then if it's raining before the plugin is loaded :smug

oh no nitro emotes

[minor vapor]

that's why #toWeatherState() exists

iirc it's true if it's not changing to clear

[quaint mantle]

   @EventHandler
    public void weather(WeatherChangeEvent e) {
        if (e.toWeatherState()) {
            e.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }```

[minor vapor]

should do the trick

[opal juniper]

Does anyone have or know of or can tell me a way of making + registering custom Entities

As in a custom mob

[dense kestrel]

you can spawn entities if thats what ya mean

[opal juniper]

I would like to be able to make a custom Mob, and be able to register it with NMS so that it would appear with, for example, /summon

[minor vapor]

I don't believe you can modify the list of entities used in summon, I'm not sure if it uses the enum name or not

[eternal oxide]

you could intercept the summon command in the pre event

[opal juniper]

I believe you can if you register them correctly

However, is there like a resource for making custom entities, i cannot really find an up-to-date one

[sage swift]

mythicmobs not suit you?

[opal juniper]

mf read that as 'my thic mobs'

I would kinda like to try it myself tho

[ornate heart]

Anyone know why I would be getting an "Invalid Book Tag" error whenever I open up this book? I'm trying to make clickable text. I've pretty much copied the code from the guide that's straight from spigot. https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/interactive-books/

Here's my method:

private void writeInGrimmoire(PlayerData playerData, ItemStack grimmoire){

       BookMeta bookMeta = (BookMeta) grimmoire.getItemMeta();

       BaseComponent[] page = new ComponentBuilder("Click me")
           .event(new ClickEvent(ClickEvent.Action.OPEN_URL, "https://spigotmc.org"))
           .create();

       bookMeta.spigot().addPage(page);

       //set the title and author of this book
       bookMeta.setTitle("Interactive Book");
       bookMeta.setAuthor("gigosaurus");

       grimmoire.setItemMeta(bookMeta);

   }

[tribal holly]

Someone know if a big quantity of mob spawner in a chunk with a lot of meta data for each can generate lag ? (arround 120)

there is no entity inside it but i got more than 50k entity on my screen for any reason (don't know if player head is like an entity but there is not a lot)

[quaint mantle]

could you show the full error?

[tardy delta]

how can i get the persistentDataContainer of a block that's already placed down? Someone said me it's possible

[minor vapor]

that's the full error, there's no stacktrace

it just says what they put in the book

[quaint mantle]

ohh

[outer crane]

since this video that i found on google exists, probably you can https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy7R-v7H17w

https://www.google.com/search?q=get+persistentDataContainer+of+a+placed+block

[plain quest]

i have a github repository and i want to edit it live with intelliJ is it possible and if so how would i do it?

[outer crane]

live?

[plain quest]

i just wanna be able to make changes and have them uploaded on github

not necessarily live

@outer crane

[minor vapor]

You can use VCS and clone the repo in the IDE

https://cdn.rainnny.club/888518482132.png

[ornate heart]

Yea, there is no error. It quite literally just says this

[dire marsh]

are you using 1.16.5

[digital plinth]

hmm how do i add a new string to an existing yml sector?

config.add is not a thing

[tardy delta]

does this work?

if(event.getBlock().getType() instanceof Container && event.getBlock().getType() instanceof Lockable)

?

it says that it's always true

[dire marsh]

use instanceof on the block not the material type

how is that not giving you a straight up error

[ornate heart]

1.16.4

[tardy delta]

well i have this now

if(!(block.getState() instanceof Lockable && block.getState() instanceof TileState && block.getState() instanceof InventoryHolder
)) {
            return;
        }
...

ow Block block = event.getBlock();

[eternal oxide]

checking tilestate twice?

[tardy delta]

whoops

i mean InventoryHolder

[dire marsh]

what's the grimmoire itemstack?

[digital plinth]

ymlfile.get().add is not valid either

is there a way to add a new string to a exiting yml sector?

[ornate heart]

It's a written book with lore and display name changes

also did some stuff with pdc

I've gotten the text to show up before

but every time i try to do stuff with clickable text it breaks

For example, this code works:

private void writeInGrimmoire(ItemStack grimmoire){

        BookMeta bookMeta = (BookMeta) grimmoire.getItemMeta();
        bookMeta.setTitle("Blank");
        bookMeta.setAuthor("Destiny");

        String firstPage = "";
        String firstPageHeader = StringUtils.colorString(config.getDisplayNameColor() + getCenteredHeader());
        firstPage += firstPageHeader;

        //20 characters wide
        String underHeader = "&0-------------------\n";
        firstPage += underHeader;

        BlackCloverPlugin plugin = (BlackCloverPlugin) CoreLib.getInstance();
        String plusSign = "&2[+]&0";
        String manaLine = plusSign + " " + plugin.getMaxRegen(getTier()) + " Mana\n";
        firstPage += manaLine;

        // The spells
        for(SpellWrapper spell : spells.values()){

            String spellName = org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils.capitalize(spell.toString().replace("_", " ").toLowerCase());
            String spellLine;
            boolean isUlt = spell.getKEY().isUltimate();

            if(isUlt){
                spellLine = "\n" + plusSign + " Ultimate: " + spellName + "\n";
            }else{
                spellLine = plusSign + " Spell: " + spellName + "\n";
            }

            firstPage += spellLine;

        }

        firstPage = StringUtils.colorString(firstPage);

        bookMeta.addPage(firstPage);
        grimmoire.setItemMeta(bookMeta);

    }

[quaint mantle]

config#set

[digital plinth]

but it removes the older info

[quaint mantle]

@digital plinth so ig you want to like update it right?

[digital plinth]

yes

add a new string without removing the old ones

[dense kestrel]

It would remove comments

but it shouldnt reset the whole file

[digital plinth]

okie lemme test it

[quaint mantle]

you could do something like

String valueFromConfigToEdit = getConfig().getString("valueToBeEdited");
valueFromConfigToEdit = valueFromConfigToEdit + "abc";
getConfig().set("valueToBeEdited", valueFromConfigToEdit);

[dense kestrel]

@digital plinth ^ That is exactly what you would do (but just make sure you save it after ofc)

it will work just fine

but all comments will clear

[wraith rapids]

yeah, the version of snakeyaml spigot uses, like all things spigot uses, is like half a decade out of date

so it'll nuke all comments if you save anything in any way other than with saveDefaultConfig

[dim bronze]

playerHandle.e(((CraftBlock) player.getLocation().getBlock()).getPosition())
val pose = DataWatcher.a(Entity.class, DataWatcherRegistry.s)
val data = DataWatcher(playerHandle)
data.register(pose, EntityPose.SLEEPING)
playerHandle.playerConnection.sendPacket(new PacketPlayOutEntityMetadata(playerHandle.getId(), data, false))

Trying to make the player appear to be sleeping, any ideas why this doesn't work? Right now it just makes the screen fade for a few ticks then goes back to normal

[sage swift]

does List support null elements

[wraith rapids]

depends on the List impl

generally yes

there are some like linked blocking queues or something that don't but most standard impls do

[quaint mantle]

LinkedBlockingQueue is not a List

It's... a Queue

[digital plinth]

thx

[quaint mantle]

yw

[opal juniper]

lmao

[digital plinth]

allowdrop.yml is created

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

did i miss something

[quaint mantle]

i dont think so

[visual tide]

will matchMaterial return null if it doesnt know the item?

[dusty herald]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/Material.html#matchMaterial(java.lang.String)

[visual tide]

thats just about material

[dusty herald]

that link directly shows matchMaterial

[inner drift]

hey, i made a custom spectator mode and i am struggling to cancel sounds that are coming out of the players in that mode
i have tried cancelling the packets using ProtocolLib but it says the Named Sound Effect packet is ready-only and shall not be cancelled
any ideas?

[pulsar path]

how can I get the first player inside a boat (the boat operator)? I have the boat entity e

[inner drift]

Entity#getPassengers returns a list of the passengers so you can get the first passenger from there

[pulsar path]

oh I'm so stupid sry

thx

[opal juniper]

Where are the docs for this?

i can have a look

[quaint mantle]

?jd

[queen dragon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/

[quaint mantle]

oh protocollib docs sry

[opal juniper]

no

yeah

[quaint mantle]

nope this is original https://ci.dmulloy2.net/job/ProtocolLib/javadoc/

[opal juniper]

Idk why you day it cannot be cancelled

[inner drift]

i have looked at the docs too and it's weird

because the error says that the packet is read only

[opal juniper]

Can i see the error?

[inner drift]

let me send the code maybe you guys can find something wrong with it

yea sure

[queen dragon]

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

[inner drift]

ty lol

https://paste.md-5.net/olivajowuq.bash

[opal juniper]

And the code please

[inner drift]

https://paste.md-5.net/awibeqenag.cs

[opal juniper]

hmm

i mean, the error does kinda tell you the issue

You may need to send a packet to stop the sound, instead of cancelling it

[inner drift]

alright let me try that

[opal juniper]

have a look for the packet on wiki.vg probs

[sage swift]

can i clone a stream somehow? if i try to do multiple operations on the same one, it tells me it's already closed

[opal juniper]

i don't think thats the issue

ah, i see your idea

[mortal hare]

anyone up for a challenge?

[sage swift]

no

[opal juniper]

depends

[mortal hare]

23 - 0
22 - 1
21 - 2
20 - 3
19 - 4
18 - 5

17 - 6
16 - 7
15 - 8
14 - 9
13 - 10
12 - 11

i have these numbers but every 6th element i want to start fom zero (transform the numbers to start from 0 again)
is it possible to do this with some kind of math logic and without if statements

[inner drift]

can't believe i missed that, thanks lol

[mortal hare]

for example

17 - 0
16 - 1
15 - 2
14 - 3
13 - 4
12 - 5

i can do this with for loop and incrementing the i by 6 to tget this result, but im thinking a way to do this algebraic.

[opal juniper]

How are you inputting numbers in / when are you getting info @mortal hare

[sage swift]

ghost ping

spoooky

[quaint mantle]

the sending message is bcz you have there player.sendMessage

java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class org.bukkit.Material (java.lang.String is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap'; org.bukkit.Material is in unnamed module of loader 'app')

😦

[quaint mantle]

from what i understood, youre trying to make string a material for it you need to do Material.valueOf(stringValue)

[smoky elbow]

a

[quaint mantle]

no

you are pretty much adding every material as one string

[sage swift]

        Stream.of(Material.values())
        .filter(Material::isBlock)
        .collect(Collectors.toSet());``` 👍

[white obsidian]

no idea if anyone has tried this but I'm trying to put a spring boot application into a bungeecord plugin and it keeps removing the bungee.yml when i package the jar how do i stop this?

[sage swift]

or do this java Set<Material> blocks = new HashSet<>(); for (Material material : Material.values()) { if (!material.isBlock()) continue; blocks.add(material); }

[wraith rapids]

enumsetreee

[sage swift]

shhh

why would you use a list

[wraith rapids]

👀

why would you use String

[sage swift]

why would you use the name

[wraith rapids]

that is literally the worst performing way of possibly doing it

you do not need order

you do not need duplicate elements

therefore you do not need a list

[sharp bough]

what a way to remove something in https://paste.md-5.net/uvaqijohod.bash like if i want to remove location.1.loots.1.items.2 i would normally take the data from the next one until i reach the last one and then delete that one, but is there a better way?

[sage swift]

        EnumSet.of(Material.STONE, Stream.of(Material.values())
                .filter(Material::isBlock)
                .collect(Collectors.toList()).toArray(new Material[0]));``` here

[sharp bough]

like rename locations.1.loots.1.items.X

[wraith rapids]

those are all maps

no actual lists are involved anywhere there

i'm not sure what your question is

just take the value you have at path a and set it to path b

[sharp bough]

but i need to remove and rename the section

[wraith rapids]

move the last section in the place of the section you removed

[sharp bough]

si its like 1,2,3,4

and not 1,3,4

[wraith rapids]

or does the order matter

[sharp bough]

it does

[wraith rapids]

if the order matters you need to shift all of them

set 2 to 3, set 3 to 4, set 4 to null

[sharp bough]

yea thats what i have been doing

but i was wondering if theres a better way

[wraith rapids]

aside from actually using list types, not really

[sharp bough]

but if the order doesnt matter

i could replace the last one

with the one im removing

no

the one im removing

with the last one

[wraith rapids]

yes

[sharp bough]

and set the last one to null

thats helpful thanks

[wraith rapids]

ideally you would use a list but map lists look kind of cancer in yaml and most end users don't know wtf to do with them

and the whole serialization thing with lists is kind of shit tier

using lists and leveraging on serialization would look like this

locations:
- world: world
  X: -331
  Y: 107
  Z: 153
  spawned: false
  unlocked: false
  clicked: false
  timeleft: 0
  loots:
  - ==: com.mydomain.myplugin.MyLootClass
    items:
    - ==: org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack
      type: QUARTZ_BLOCK
    - ==: org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack
      type: CHEST
    - ==: org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack
      type: WOOL
      damage: 14
      meta:
        ==: ItemMeta
        meta-type: UNSPECIFIC
        display-name: §r§6§lSuper Wool
        lore:

        ItemFlags:

      type: IRON_ORE

not exactly legible

[granite stirrup]

do u guys know why when i do /reload confirm my memory usage goes up

[wraith rapids]

because it leaks a ton of shit

[granite stirrup]

lmao

[wraith rapids]

there's a reason why using reload isn't recommended

like, aside from all of the shit that just generally blows up

[granite stirrup]

uh then how do i reload my plugin to work on it ;-;

[wraith rapids]

use a plugin manager

like plugman

and reload your plugin specifically

[granite stirrup]

plugman just reloads without like updating

;-;

[wraith rapids]

no it doesn't

[errant drift]

just restart' the server

all issues are solved

[granite stirrup]

cant it takes like 5 mins

[wraith rapids]

though you will want to first unload the plugin

then switch the jar

and then load the plugin back in

[errant drift]

what server jar you using if it takes ages to restart?

[wraith rapids]

switching the jar on the fly can cause issues

[granite stirrup]

but when i do /reload confirm it works

i dont have to unload the jar

and i tried that in plugman didnt work

[wraith rapids]

well, idk what you're doing, but it does

i use plugman everyday for reloading my plugins on my test serbur

[granite stirrup]

nah i did unload the plugin put new one in then load it again

and its the same

;-;

not the new jar

[wraith rapids]

and how are you determining whether it updated or not

[granite stirrup]

i tweak shit to test

[wraith rapids]

you probably just overlooked something

try it again

[granite stirrup]

i dont have plugman ;-; rn

[wraith rapids]

plugman might also not be the best

it's kind of shit

i know red the txt man has a plugin manager but idk how good it is

[granite stirrup]

i did see a version of plugman that was like a community made one i think

[wraith rapids]

to do the serialization/list based approach above, you would make your MyLootClass implement ConfigurationSerializable, and then set things to List<MyLootClass>

[granite stirrup]

or not idk

[wraith rapids]

you'd then have to getList from the config, and cast the List to List<MyLootClass>

which is gay

[granite stirrup]

it was this https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/plugman-improved.88135/

[wraith rapids]

but also the best you're going to get with the bukkit config api

without making a dedicated MyLootList class

[errant drift]

plugwomen is better I think

[granite stirrup]

no

im getting plugman-improved 2.2.2

[errant drift]

It's not even bad?

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/plugwoman.82302/

[wraith rapids]

but, regardless of the plugin manager plugin you use or whether you use /reload or a plugin manager

you don't want to switch the jars on the fly

not all of the plugin's classes are loaded from the jar into memory at startup

if your onDisable or whatever causes new classes from your jar to be initialized after you've swapped the jar, your server could hard crash

as in total and complete fucking instant death where the JVM explodes

[quaint mantle]

neither it's guaranteed all references to classes are discarded everywhere

that's where the jvm gets dumb

jfc what a nightmare

[wraith rapids]

on bukkit's end, the classloader is dropped

[solemn shoal]

dont use plugman

[granite stirrup]

why

[wraith rapids]

but if anything refers to any of the classes from that classloader, the classloader will still be strongly referenced

[worn tundra]

Plugman doesn't reload well, but we don't either...

[solemn shoal]

plugman likes to break things lol

[quaint mantle]

yea

[wraith rapids]

which will keep all of the classes belonging to it also in memory

which will keep all static fields and shit in memory

[errant drift]

it's like jumping into or jumping out of a moving car

[wraith rapids]

plugman does not "very often fail to reload even the simplest of plugins"

[granite stirrup]

but i dont want to have to restart the server every time

[wraith rapids]

literally never seen it fail to reload a simple plugin

only things it has issues with are plugins with dependencies

[errant drift]

I wasn't saying it's perfect they were not wanting to restart the server every time so might as well use the better of the two.

[worn tundra]

Yup. ^

And isn't it a sign of a good plugin that is able to handle things like reloads?

[wraith rapids]

i concur

all of my plugins are reloadable

[granite stirrup]

my server takes like ages to start so i dont want to have to restart

[wraith rapids]

even the ones with dependencies

[granite stirrup]

its not even the plugins its mostly the worlds

it just takes forever

to load

1 world

[wraith rapids]

a plugin shouldn't need a dependency manager to reload all of its dependents/dependencies

the plugin should be able to handle that itself

[solemn shoal]

all of my plugins are reloadable too but its generally bad practice

even tho i do it myself

[quiet ice]

I mean, some plugins will expect that the server is empty when it is loaded, but that is rare

[worn tundra]

Should be like a usb that extends the servers functionality

[granite stirrup]

viaversion is even reloadable but it can still break lmao

[wraith rapids]

f.e if you're hooking to worldguard, instead of registering a new flag and exploding because the registry is closed, you should try to obtain your already-registered flag

[solemn shoal]

oh i have a reference to my onJoin on a player loop in my onEnable

[wraith rapids]

you don't need to reload worldguard to reload your plugin

which would be the naive assumption made by a plugin manager

[quiet ice]

I have many of these fields static final and won't change that

[wraith rapids]

likewise, if you absolutely depend on a plugin, you should listen to plugin unloads and disable yourself when that plugin disables

[solemn shoal]

my only dependency so far has been vault

[wraith rapids]

i have a plugin that depends on towny, worldguard and slimefun and it's still reloadable

which is something of a fucking miracle if you ask me

[solemn shoal]

my plugins depend on ColorLib

[wraith rapids]

but that should be a library and shaded in

[solemn shoal]

which, is litterally just shaded into my plugin

yeah

it IS a library

[wraith rapids]

good

too many people write their libraries as if they were plugins

[solemn shoal]

oh so do i

[wraith rapids]

the number of "x API" and "x Lib" plugins that are actual plugins with plugin.ymls is insane

[quiet ice]

Wait, what is ColorLib?

[wraith rapids]

where they could just as well be libraries

[quiet ice]

Does it free me from my 1k line Monolith full of switch statements?

[solemn shoal]

colorlib has a plugin.yml

but thats mainly because it can be ran as a plugin to test

tho i should probably make it output a test jar for that

[wraith rapids]

somewhat dubious but as long as it doesn't need to be loaded separately as its own plugin to be used, it should be fine

[solemn shoal]

@quiet ice 1k line monolith of switch statements?

[solemn shoal]

nah it doesnt

[quiet ice]

https://github.com/Geolykt/EnchantmentsPlus/blob/4xx/src/main/java/de/geolykt/enchantments_plus/util/ColUtil.java

[solemn shoal]

https://gitlab.com/TheArcaneBrony/ColorLib lol

[sage swift]

holy shit geol

[wraith rapids]

why aren't you just like

[quaint mantle]

yea 1k lines xd

[wraith rapids]

constructing this dynamically

it's kind of gay i guess but this is even gayer

[solemn shoal]

colorlib only handles text colors

so you can use 1.16's RGB colors without breaking 1.15 and older

[quiet ice]

I would have tried, but there is no better way (at least back when I made it)

[wraith rapids]

like, iterate over all materials with a color name in their name

[sage swift]

if (toString.contains("RED"))

[wraith rapids]

and based on the remaining parts of the name, add them to separate maps

[solemn shoal]

yeah

[wraith rapids]

f.e GREEN_CONCRETE would be of type _CONCRETE and of color GREEN

then populate an EnumMap<Material, EnumMap<Color, Material>> with them so you can do lookups from material -> group -> other color in that group

[quiet ice]

Well, that is a better idea I guess

[wraith rapids]

the only issue is that you will get weird partial groups if some materials contain color names but aren't actually colorable

like uh

red rose or whatever

[quiet ice]

But then you have https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/Material.html#RED_SAND

[wraith rapids]

yeah

but, imo that is still more manageable than this

you could still hardcode an enum of colorable types like you're doing right now

and that'd solve it

but then it wouldn't be completely dynamic

[kind coral]

how would i make something like this?

lets say i have a list of objects, and a player can have multiple objects related to it, how would i set like this?

[quiet ice]

I would need to refractor that class either way given that It will be a pain to update

[wraith rapids]

f.e a ColorGroup enum with a constant called BANNER with a constructor of (Material.RED_BANNER)

[granite stirrup]

String ver = a.substring(a.lastIndexOf('.') + 1);``` wait is there a better way to get the server version? this is all i could find XD

[lost matrix]

You can have a List of yml sections.

[wraith rapids]

the ctor would then find the associated colors

[kind coral]

like what you mean?

[dry beacon]

Why does the if statement return even if I'm looking at one of those blocks?

Block b = player.getTargetBlock(null, 5);
if (!(b.getType() == Material.DAMAGED_ANVIL) || !(b.getType() == Material.CHIPPED_ANVIL)) return;

[quiet ice]

But that plugin doesn't acknowledge the existence of 1.13+ food types, so I could declare that a feature

[wraith rapids]

users:
  uuid:
    locations:
    - location1
    - location2
    - location3

[quiet ice]

If you do not know it, try to simplify it by breaking it down in multiple if statements

[lost matrix]

Do you want to read stuff writte by a user or do you just care about persisetence?

[kind coral]

true

[kind coral]

i just need to save each 5min and load when plugin enables

[granite stirrup]

anyone know a way to get the server version

😄

[kind coral]

Bukkit.getVersion() i think

oppure getServer().getVersion()

idk

[quiet ice]

why do you have two DAMAGED anvil checks in the first place?

[lost matrix]

Then you should probably just make your whole class ConfigurationSerializable
Spigot automatically deals with collections of other ConfigurationSerializables like
List<ItemStack>

[granite stirrup]

u sure those are things cuz rn i haveString a = Bukkit.getServer().getClass().getPackage().getName(); String ver = a.substring(a.lastIndexOf('.') + 1); it works fine but idk if its the best way

i just found it on some forum post XD

[lost matrix]

You should probably use the API when possible. So getServer().getVersion() and then parse that

[granite stirrup]

yeah but i didnt know if there was a thing in to get the version

[dry beacon]

made a typo, it's CHIPPED_ANVIL in the second one

[mortal hare]

solved it

[granite stirrup]

ah if im gonna use that im gonna have to pass in the main class oof cuz its not in the main class XD

[mortal hare]

i-((i/6)*6) would repeat the range

because i/6 is integer based divide and it will drop the decimal point value

[quiet ice]

Then

if (b.getType() != Material.DAMAGED_ANVIL) || b.getType() != Material.CHIPPED_ANVIL)
    return;

See the issue?

[wraith rapids]

a block can't be both a damaged and a chipped anvil at the same time

one of those conditions will always be true

if it's a chipped anvil, it's != damaged anvil

if it's a damaged anvil, it's != chipped anvil

[dry beacon]

yup, thank you!

[quiet ice]

In brief, always simplify your if statements to the bare minimum, otherwise you will get confusions

feel free to play around

just lmk if you find anything dumb in terms of use lol

[wraith rapids]

god the gitlab site performs like shit

and i thought github was bad

[sharp bough]

does anyone know what &id003 in https://paste.md-5.net/ayocejubok.bash could be?

current code:

Main.get().getConfig().set("locations." + locID + ".loots." + lootID, Main.get().getConfig().get("locations." + locID + ".loots." + totalLoots));
        Main.get().getConfig().set("locations." + locID + ".looots." + totalLoots, null);
        Main.get().saveConfig();```

[wraith rapids]

that's like a section reference or something iirc

• ".looots." +

[sharp bough]

loooooool

thank you

i need a new keyboard

[quaint mantle]

What is the difference between setBoots() and setItem(int, item) ?

[chrome beacon]

One sets the slot in the boots slot the other sets an item in any slot

[wraith rapids]

Repeated nodes are initially denoted by an ampersand ( & ) and thereafter referenced with an asterisk ( * ).

[quaint mantle]

I mean if the setItem slot is the same as the boots slot

[wraith rapids]

none

but setBoots is more verbose, so unless you need to dynamically switch which equipment slot you are setting, use setBoots

and for dynamically choosing the slot you might want to use the equipment slot enum

[mortal hare]

pathetic, i have a keyboard which's cable has been eaten by my dog, yet im still using it without insulation lol 😄

[wraith rapids]

you should give your dog some 250v cables to chew

[mortal hare]

Also that keyboard costed like 10$

He ate my earphones too 😐

these were good bass earphones

sadly

this

shitty

monster chewed them

[sharp bough]

if my dog eats my keyboard that all im gonna feed him with from now on

plus my keyboard from time to time does this little double press like instead of typing "hello there" it types "hello there"

[mortal hare]

if i would shoot a picture of my setup you'll be laughing how the keyboard is still alive.

[quiet ice]

If the house burns down in the next few days we will know why

[mortal hare]

I hanged it on the flower pot

in order to get connection

with the USB port lol

[wraith rapids]

sounds like worn out butterfly switches

[quiet ice]

I do such things with my phone charger

[sharp bough]

maybe and just maybe, a new keyboard could help

[quiet ice]

It's impossible to connect that thing properly

[mortal hare]

USB C solved phone charging problems for me

at least

[sharp bough]

yall dont get tilted by that

[mortal hare]

i've never gotten any charging problems with cables after switching to usb c

[sharp bough]

everytime i have to put my charger or any cable "in an angle for it to work", then thats the last time im using it

[mortal hare]

it such a great technology

Round connector TM

[wraith rapids]

phones should just use standard usb a jacks

it's not like you can't fit one of them on the thing

[sharp bough]

lol

[mortal hare]

what's the difference between USB A and C?

[wraith rapids]

a is the one you plug to your pc

c is the tiny fucking little shit that breaks it you look at it wrong

you could totally fit a usb a jack on most mobile phones, it'd just involve shifting some components around

[sharp bough]

like phones now days , i used to have " a brick ", one of those old nokia phones, i swear i put a pencil across it was just fine

[wraith rapids]

but no everything needs to be tiny and slim and delicate and fragile

just like the people

[mortal hare]

oh

[sharp bough]

watch out you might get canceled

lol

[mortal hare]

you mean

the OG usb port

[wraith rapids]

yes

the "normal" usb

model A

[mortal hare]

yea

[granite stirrup]

i think i broke my plugin 👀

[mortal hare]

or better

just audio jack cable

which is powerful enough

to charge

[unreal quartz]

nah

i say we stick one of these bad boys on them

[granite stirrup]

it errored to disable my plugin and errored to enable it XD

[mortal hare]

audio jack cable is the most satisfying cable

to plug

[wraith rapids]

i suppose you could do that but that'd be pretty confusing

[mortal hare]

and one of the easiest

yea

that would be weird

[wraith rapids]

you'd have 2 of 3.5mm jacks and you wouldn't know which one is for the headset and which one is for charging

usb is good because it's already been standardized

issue just is that all of the smaller models are super fragile

[mortal hare]

USB C is a big improvement compared to Micro USB

[wraith rapids]

tbh the round plugs used back in the day were very good

[mortal hare]

in terms of durability

[wraith rapids]

but standardization was a big issue

every brand had their own plug

[mortal hare]

that shitty Micro USB is such pain in the ass compared to USB C

[wraith rapids]

C is still pretty shit

[mortal hare]

well

if you want to break

it breaks

just like A ports will

[wraith rapids]

it's gonna break if you look at it wrong

A is like a heavyweight champion compared to it

[mortal hare]

[odd sentinel]

so if I open a custom inventory with player.openInventory how can I detect when that's closed? do I need to use the InventoryCloseEvent and compare if the inventory is the one I opened?

[wraith rapids]

that is the simplest way yes

[odd sentinel]

ok I'll just do that

I just dislike the idea of technically having to check on every single inventory close

[wraith rapids]

i suppose

but, that's what you will be doing with event buses designed like bukkit's

all events are global

[granite stirrup]

bruh plugman fucked up my plugin i think XD

[wraith rapids]

there are no events you can subscribe to in a particular context

[sage swift]

ignoreCancelled

🤯

[wraith rapids]

you just listen to all of the globally happening events and check if the context matches

that is, you can't listen to InventoryCloseEvent in the context of a specific inventory

you'll have to listen to them all and check whether the context is the one you want

[sage swift]

you should also implement InventoryHolder instead

https://github.com/dniym/IllegalStack/wiki/GUIObject

[wraith rapids]

supposedly that's haram

but people still do it so idk

[sage swift]

as is using legacy chat to paper

[wraith rapids]

well, paper's reason for that is that they don't want to support the old shit

which is their problem

it's not an issue with your project

i don't remember for what reason you shouldn't use the inventoryholder for detecting the inventory though

so it could be a valid reason

but, people do it anyway so probably not

do whatever

[warm galleon]

who canb call me and completely spoonfeed me the dictionary of mysql skills

[sage swift]

officially stated somewhere that implementing classes not specifically designed for implementation is not supported

[wraith rapids]

i vaguely remember someone saying something about its persistence not being guaranteed or something

but seeing as it works just fine and people do it anyway, that's probably a hypothetical

[sage swift]

if it didnt work people wouldnt use it 😎

[wraith rapids]

hey @warm galleon you're and completely spoonfeed me the dictionary of mysql skills

[warm galleon]

?

[wraith rapids]

you asked me to call you and completely spoonfeed me the dictionary of mysql skills

[errant drift]

watch codedreds youtube video on mysql @warm galleon

[warm galleon]

i am

[sage swift]

top-tier

[quaint mantle]

is it possible to reorder the args in onTabComplete?

I don't want them alphabetically

[wraith rapids]

they're sorted by the client i'm pretty sure

[sage swift]

i don't think they are

[river goblet]

They're not. They're sorted by whichever strings are put in the list first.

[wraith rapids]

based on the question i'd think they are but tbh i haven't tested

[sage swift]

what if you put some invisible colors in front

like §gOwner

§hAdmin

etc

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ripe marlin]

can some1 reccomend me a series of tutorials or tutorial that will help me get going on coding plugins, I found some yt ones but others have said they have problems

the only one i've found so far is outdated

[wraith rapids]

youtube guides are generally cancer

[ripe marlin]

😭

[eternal oxide]

What is your chosen IDE?

[ripe marlin]

intellij but that shouldn't matter right?

[wraith rapids]

it matters for the tutorial

[warm galleon]

like you

jk

[eternal oxide]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-plugin-development/

[ripe marlin]

I only see blank plugins tut

[eternal oxide]

Thats getting started

further down there is creating a command, using events

and config files

[ripe marlin]

kk

thx
