also what are you trying to do?
I want to place double chest. The currect issue is that two single chests do not connect. I will try something out, so I hope I am not bothering you guys.

shadow pulsar
How to move a location relative to its rotation?
wraith rapids
reorder the vector components and flip the signs
granite stirrup
^ ^ ^ ?
wraith rapids
it should, though
shadow pulsar
But you need to figure out how much of a variable goes into the x, y, and z first
wraith rapids
if you rotate at 90 degree intervals, you don't
shadow pulsar
Because, for example, moving forward would change the x and the z
Yeah, 90 degrees it would work but I also need it to work with other rotations
wraith rapids
in that case, you need to get into vector math
shadow pulsar
I have searched far and wide and the closest I have found was that one code snippet I sent a while ago
loc.setZ(loc.getZ() + forward * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(yaw)));```@wraith rapids You like how I calculate their kdr ```java
double kdr = p.getStatistic(Statistic.PLAYER_KILLS) * 1.0 / p.getStatistic(Statistic.DEATHS);
String decimalValueStr = String.valueOf(kdr);
int indexDot = decimalValueStr.lastIndexOf('.');
int desiredDigits = 2;
String decimal = decimalValueStr.substring(0, (indexDot + 1) + desiredDigits);
kdr = Double.parseDouble(decimal);
okay thanks, it works.

neither show up as methods, maybe im missing something
quasi flint
good thing
eternal night
you return in the for loop ?
that pops the entire method off the stack.
including the for loop
I am saying, returning inside the for loop means that, after the first iteration, the return statement ends the entire method logic flow
e.g.
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
System.out.println(i);
return;
}
will only print a single 0, as after the first print the return statement is reached which signals the end of the current method.

quasi flint

granite stirrup
blockdata is what bukkit calls minecraft block states
Why
wraith rapids
yes
wraith rapids
yes, minecraft block states
quaint mantle
but this is not suitable for custom blocks
eternal oxide
yes, and as I said you use getAsString if you want to store that data elsewhere
quaint mantle
yes, and as I said you use getAsString if you want to store that data elsewhere
Gravel or Barrier haven't blockdata
eternal oxide
Gravel has BlockData
quaint mantle
but what about barrier?
eternal oxide
So does Barrier
wraith rapids
every block has blockdata, it just doesn't have fields if there is only one state
eternal oxide
All block Materials have BlockData
wraith rapids
but again, blockdata does not store arbitrary data
you can not use it to store random shit
only tile entities can do that
eternal oxide
It would probably be an idea that you tell us exactly what you are attempting to store
quaint mantle
I'll start from the very beginning
I need to store any string in them, and also spawn the frame in that block.
eternal oxide
frame?
quaint mantle
item frame
quasi flint
thats why forge or fabric is cool
eternal oxide
and what "string"?
eternal oxide
You can not place an arbitrary String on an item frame
quaint mantle
You can not place an arbitrary String on an item frame
but we talking about barrier
eternal oxide
ok, you can not place an arbritrary String on a Barrier
wraith rapids
barrier is not a tile entity
it can not persist arbitrary data
i feel like i'm repeating myself
quaint mantle
it is.
wraith rapids
it is not
eternal oxide
Non TileEntity Blocks do not support NBT beyond the pre defined tags of the blocks data
wraith rapids
that is to say, non-tile entity blocks do not support nbt at all
eternal night
^^ which aren't even stored as NBT yea
wraith rapids
instead they have a pre-baked list of possible states
quaint mantle
I would love to use note blocks for what I intended, but they are have full-block type and I have to use a barrier + item frame
eternal oxide
neither barrier nor ItemFrames support NBT tags
eternal night
item frames ?
eternal night
they do yea
eternal oxide
Not in teh world. As ItemStacks they can
quaint mantle
neither barrier nor ItemFrames support NBT tags
that's lie
eternal night
in the world they are an entity
quaint mantle
item frame is entity
eternal night
what
wraith rapids
entities implement persistendataholder
quaint mantle
entity support nbt
eternal oxide
itemfram is an entity?
wraith rapids
an item frame is not a block; it is an entity
wraith rapids
same with paintings
quaint mantle
yes
wraith rapids
it needs to be an entity because blocks can't render stuff like that properly
for example the flower pot requires a separate block state for each item put in it
there are some exceptions like skulls and signs
eternal oxide
I wrote a regen plugin for blocks and entites like pictures and item frames, but it was a while ago
quaint mantle
a new problem arises
if there are too many frames, it can cause server and client laggs
eternal oxide
In which case ItemFrames yes you can store data in its PDC
wraith rapids
then don't spawn too many item frames
quaint mantle
but i should
wraith rapids
then you will lag
eternal oxide

wait a second
wraith rapids
custom blocks with textures presumably
with the barrier for collisions + item in itemframe for texture style
which is viable if you only have a few such blocks placed in the world
eternal oxide
You can do custom block textures with a texture pack and damage states
wraith rapids
because itemframes are laggy as shit in high numbers
the preferred blocks for that are noteblocks and mushroom blocks
noteblocks especially so as you can replicate their functionality server-side so you don't necessarily override any vanilla textures
quaint mantle
I'm going to make a lot of my custom blocks where some of them are vases. There are 512 variations of them, and that's why I have to use frames and the subject in them to configure CustomModelData. Others, full blocks, are note blocks. All note blocks and barriers currently have metadata, which falls off immediately after a server reboot,
and I have to store all this data somehow.
https://imgur.com/Dfoycul
wraith rapids
well
store it to disk or a db, I suppose
but beyond that, there is no solution to your "itemframes cause lag" problem
the best you can do is spawn them via protocol and make them client side
eternal oxide
store it in the chunk PDC
wraith rapids
that will not lag the server, but will still lag your players to shit
quaint mantle
chunk PDC? wtf
eternal night
only really viable if the players cannot modify the map
if players can use pistons, explosions etc
chunk pdc is nearly unmaintainable

summer scroll
you mean required as in for the library to be obfuscated?
When choosing to use the 'Mojang Mappings', it is absolutely imperative that you are aware of the conditions attached to them as well as the Mojang EULA. These are not restrictions you can simply ignore. In particular you may only 'use the mappings for development purposes'. This means that you must only use the remapped-mojang jar for development and must remap your plugin prior to distribution. For those not using Maven you can download SpecialSource to help you do this here, and we encourage the creation of instructions/tools for other build systems.
This one, I'm kinda confused.

ohhh, that is if you use it
then you are required to remap it back
you must only use it for development
IF you use it
you cant use it for anything else
ivory sleet
aglerr basically you’d use the mappings at compile time and then turn it back to the obfuscation when compiling it (like your nms imports and stuff)
hardy swan
yea nms
summer scroll
i don't use the nms, so i can just use the api right?
summer scroll
so by remap the mojang library, it'll be easier for developer to use nms?
hardy swan
but even if you are writing with nms, you prob wont need the remapped-mojang jar lol, can just deduce from method signature >.>
summer scroll
ah i see, thanks
ivory sleet
Like that, I would like to list the chunks

sullen dome
alright, that's probably a dumb question, but idk.
I have a Class named Settings, and then another Class named GameruleSettings
GameruleSettings extends from Settings, and both classes implement Bukkit's Listener.
do i need to register both to the PluginManager, or would it be enough to register the Settings one?
probably both tho
opal juniper
if GameruleSettings extends Settings then afaik you just need to register the GameruleSettings because it will implement all of its superclasses methods
(i think)
sullen dome
yeah that's what i thought of. i'll try it, and see if it works lol
ivory sleet
Each individual instance that inherits Listener needs to be registered
sullen dome
wait

use something like the holder (or if you have to) the name
sullen dome
well, it's a public gui without a specific holder
ivory sleet
Sometimes comparing with == works so give it a shot I guess
sullen dome
Sometimes comparing with == works so give it a shot I guess
not in this case
{
Player player = (Player) event.getWhoClicked();
if (event.getInventory() == SETTINGS_MAIN) {
event.setCancelled(true);
switch (event.getSlot()) {
case 1:
initGUI(player, SETTINGS_CHALLENGES);
player.openInventory(SETTINGS_CHALLENGES);
break;
default:
System.out.println("1");
break;
}
} else {
System.out.println("2");
}
}```
it always gives me 2Oh well you could try InventoryView although if I personally would advice something, it would be InventoryHolder
sullen dome
like i said, it actually has no holder. it's a public gui, not player specific at all
opal juniper
Make one 🙃
ivory sleet
You’d use InventoryHolders to identify inventories. No they can’t
opal juniper
no - thats why people sometimes use the title
sullen dome
then why dont i just use the title
sullen dome
well, i'll try it tho
well... is there actually a method for getting the inventory title? don't see one
ivory sleet
InventoryView
wraith rapids
md69 in his infinite wisdom has decided that inventories do not have titles
inventory views do, however
opal juniper
(off topic) anyone able to answer a physics question
ivory sleet
Give it a shot
wraith rapids
is that not like a kindergarten grade question
opal juniper
myes
i just cannot understand what it is asking me to do
and i have done about 50 of them so brain is gone
wraith rapids
it's asking you what the velocity will be in 2 seconds from being thrown
sullen dome
well, what i wanna do is basically smt like java if (event.getView().getTitle().equals(SETTINGS_MAIN.getTitle())) {
isn't possible right?
ivory sleet
Yeah
wraith rapids
at t0 it is 15m/s
opal juniper
yeah
hardy swan
and a = -10
hardy swan
it is
wraith rapids
yeah, but flip the sign, apparently the question calls downwards velocity positive for some reason
wraith rapids
so you'd actually start at -15 and add 10 twice
opal juniper
yep
wraith rapids
seems rather silly but maybe it's some convention I don't know about
hardy swan
or just rmb v = v0 + at
opal juniper
i was expecting more of a parabolic shape than for it to just start going down
immediately
wraith rapids
well it is
opal juniper
yeah fair enough
wraith rapids
the actual position is
hardy swan
i was expecting more of a parabolic shape than for it to just start going down
shouldn't mix downward vector with horizontal
wraith rapids
but the speed is linear
wraith rapids
they did
opal juniper
wait 
hardy swan
huh they ddin't state horizontal velocity
wraith rapids
and only ever decreases from that
they didn't no but horizontal velocity doesn't matter
opal juniper
🤷
ivory sleet
class Rivex implements InventoryHolder {
final Inventory inv = Bukkit.createInventory(this, ...);
//override getter to return inv
}
class Real implements Listener {
@EventHandler void onClick(InventoryClickEvent event) {
var inv = event.getClickedInventory();
if (inv == null || !(inv.getHolder() instanceof Rivex)) {
return;
}
//inv is your inventory (;
}
}``` @sullen dome something like this might be worth trying otherwise. Wrote it on mobile so prone to errorsdownward acceleration is the same regardless of horizontal or vertical speed
opal juniper
oh well im dumb thanks though
hardy swan
downward acceleration is the same regardless of horizontal or vertical speed
oh wat I meant is if the 15m/s they state includes horizontal velocity
that's what I meant by they didn't state horizontal velocity
wraith rapids
i suppose yes
sullen dome
```java
class Rivex implements InventoryHolder {
final Inventory inv = Bukkit....
the problem is, that it isn't always me who is using the gui. it can be everyone. and as the gui is public, people can live-time change stuff inside it. so it probably cannot even have a holder to do that, without doing complicated stuff.
so i guess i'll just stick with this:
if (event.getView().getTitle().equals("§bMain-Settings")) {```
but thanks!That won't saving

Rivex was just the name of the class

obvly it is
wraith rapids
just compare the inventory or inventory holder

Well the holder is persistent

that.
hardy swan
comparing inventory should be enuf
ivory sleet
It sometimes isn’t
hardy swan
wat times
wraith rapids
supposedly comparing holders is bad bad because reasons
hard refs to plugin classloader something something
but everyone does it anyway so it's fine
sullen dome
so... comparing holders is bad... comparing titles is gay... comparing inventories directly isn't working
so what would be good lmao
wraith rapids
it is working
quaint mantle
the mysql.async().execute() doesn't works idk why
wraith rapids
if you do it right
you just need to not do it wrong
if (inventory == myInventory) do shit
wraith rapids
you just need to retain the inventory instance somewhere for later comparison
summer scroll
the problem is, that it isn't always me who is using the gui. it can be everyone...
it doesn't matter really
wraith rapids
comparing holders would be if (inventory.getHolder() == myholder) do shit
hardy swan
every time someone views the gui, you can recreate it
opal juniper
Use the way conclure made
hardy swan
using == is gay
ivory sleet
Well Bukkit might decide to just create a delegate of your inventory. Let’s suppose you have your inventory instance with the memory address a1. Now once an InventoryClickEvent fires Bukkit might decide to reconstruct or your inventory instance a1 (like a shallow clone sort of) so when you call InventoryClickEvent#getInventory you’d get a copy of your inventory instance (of course any trivial changes will be reflect onto the actual inventory) but this instance has the memory address a2 which also means we can’t use == comparison.
wraith rapids
as if inventories could implement equals in some sensible fashion
opal juniper
do you compare enums with .equals() then solar? or just in this instance
wraith rapids
the thing is that bukkit doesn't decide to create delegates
opal juniper
get ya
wraith rapids
that's not a thing it does afaik
ivory sleet
Hmm weird cuz I did some testing for quite some time ago and from what I experienced it did.
wraith rapids
using holders is recommended against because that involves holding references to plugin objects inside bukkit/nms itself
which means that on plugin unload they need to either be evacuated, or you risk leaking the entire classloader
weary geyser
.equals() == ==
hardy swan
.equals should definitely be the way to go about comparisons... unless enum
hardy swan
.equals() == ==
no
opal juniper
🤨
wraith rapids
at least I've never run into bukkit creating delegates or wrappers for inventories
or really heard of that happening
or, well, maybe for things like chests?
ivory sleet
Hmm interesting I will do some tests and see if that was just a random occurrence
wraith rapids
but custom inventories that you open yourself, basically never
i could see a chest or a vanilla container being created a wrapper for
weary geyser
no
Like in the code https://gyazo.com/3aefbc6587e4e79fd33299beda709c89?token=49c4506adccb526f93110ca57759b42b
wraith rapids
but that's not a custom inventory at that point
tardy delta
is there some code to change the name above the users head?
hardy swan
Like in the code https://gyazo.com/3aefbc6587e4e79fd33299beda709c89?token=49c450...
wait is that for inventory?
wraith rapids
yes
ivory sleet
.equals should definitely be the way to go about comparisons... unless enum
Singletons can be used with ==, things which you wanna compare identities to (instance a == instance b iff a is b).
wraith rapids
inventory does not usually implement equals
weary geyser
wait is that for inventory?
That is just from the base Object class.
wraith rapids
nor is there usually a sensible way to implement equals, beyond just ==
hardy swan
That is just from the base Object class.
equals method can be overridden, you shouldn't look at that
weary geyser
equals method can be overridden, you shouldn't look at that
I know
I was hinting at the base methods
hardy swan
nor is there usually a sensible way to implement equals, beyond just ==
can take a look at ItemStack's equals()
wraith rapids
yes, but an itemstack is quite different from an inventory
tardy delta
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#setDispla...
setDisplayName() ?
hardy swan
is just targeting that statement
opal juniper
setDisplayName() ?
I dont think it works
ivory sleet
Ngl it would certainly be nice if each Inventory had a persistent UUID.
tardy delta
no thats chat
wraith rapids
CraftX inventories do not implement equals
which means they delegate to Object::equals by inheritance
which is ==
hardy swan
but it shouldn't matter a class implements equals imo, that's the point of information hiding
just a better design practice to use equals() instead, but i get you
wraith rapids
i suppose you could use whichever, but in case of bukkit it doesn't really matter
it highlights that this inventory need to be this exact inventory
not a wrapper or a clone or a similar inventory
what if equals was implemented by comparing name and contents?
what does it mean for an inventory to be equal to another inventory, to begin with?
ivory sleet
just a better design practice to use equals() instead, but i get you
I mean depends if you wanna do a content comparison vs an identity comparison
opal juniper
implement it
hardy swan
ok also depends on implementor's intent
wraith rapids
point is that I don't know whether the implementor's intent aligns with mine, therefore I use the stricter comparison as that is what the actual API guarantees

hoary knoll

opal juniper
does bukkit.getPlayer return null when the player is not on the server?
yeah - use getOfflinePlayer()
if you want the player object no matter what
wraith rapids
just know that if you query by name, it may make a blocking network request to mojang
so you should probably not do that on the main thread very often
hardy swan
deprecated
hoary knoll
im using uuids
ivory sleet
Paper getOfflinePlayerIfCached
wraith rapids
yes, but you can still use it even though it is deprecated
hardy swan

ivory sleet
It’s not deprecated for removal
wraith rapids
it is not subject to removal, it is simply there to act as a note for people who might not know about UUIDs
querying offline players by name is still a perfectly valid operation
hardy swan
ah ok
wraith rapids
bukkit deprecations are hardly ever 'we're going to remove this' deprecations
because bukkit never fucking removes anything
ivory sleet
Yeah compatibility
digital rain
guys is there a bug in 1.16 that keepinventory only affects a single dimension or is it an intentional feature?

wraith rapids
bukkit deprecations aren't really deprecations, they're little warning or reminder messages written on post-it stickers attached to the methods
which teaches the many new and aspiring developers learning development in the bukkit ecosystem some really bad lessons
wraith rapids
nobody reads the javadocs
people won't give a shit until their compiler issues a deprecation warning
opal juniper
im not nobody 😠
opal juniper
I must have been dropped on my head as a child cause i dont really mind reading documentation
(as long as it is written well)
wraith rapids
normal people do read documentation
but normal people account for a pretty slim minority of the new and aspiring section of bukkit's developer base
hardy swan
i mean, how else would you know how to use the method lol
ivory sleet
Lmao
I mean Bukkit docs are filled with docs like
/**
- this returns the team entry
*/
Entry getTeamEntry();
wraith rapids
yeah, reading some classes it feels like they were machine generated

Hey, I got this code so far, whenever you join the server, your inventory gets filled with boats. Ive got a few problems tho, when you die, I want it to fill again, and when you rejoin it should fill again. Another thing is that when someone steps on a pressure plate or something similar it should reset. Thanks
@EventHandler
public void handlePlayerJoin(final PlayerJoinEvent event) {
final PlayerInventory inventory = event.getPlayer().getInventory();
for (int i = 0; i < inventory.getSize(); i++) {
final ItemStack item = inventory.getItem(i);
if (item == null || item.getType().isAir()) {
inventory.setItem(i, new ItemStack(Material.OAK_BOAT));
}
}
}
And the last problem is that every single slot fillst, also armor slots, all I want is the inventory without the offhand
opal juniper
The way that you are looping solves the last issue
but you just need to listen for more events

The last one is the only official one, however some of those concepts assume that you already know a bit about programming.
ivory garnet
thx
@granite stirrup so i do that ? if(item.getItemMeta().getLore().get(0) == "my lore")
granite stirrup
U could but if u want to check every line you would loop through it
ivory sleet
.equals("my lore")
granite stirrup
Maybe use .equals also
.equals is different to == I don't know how to explain it sometimes .equals is technically more accurate but u can't really say that
eternal night
Yea, Object#equals should compare the actual content of an object and return if the content is equal. == only checks if the identify of both objects are the same. aka the object is actually just compared to itself
granite stirrup
Yea, `Object#equals` *should* compare the actual content of an object and return...
So == compares memory addresses ?
ivory sleet
yeah
eternal night
well on objects yea, tho I don't think that is actually defined. pretty much implementation detail
primitives are a different story
granite stirrup
Lol
So .equals is if u have a string it actually compares whatever text u put and mostly == is memory stuff ?
ivory sleet
well you could actually do smtng like
boolean isSame = str1.intern() == st2.intern()
eternal night
could dumb it down to that yea. One is content the other identify
don't you bring the string cache into this

smoky oak
i know i can grab the players location and everything but is it possible to find out if a specific point in space is air?
smoky oak
no i meant coordinates with comma
granite stirrup
i think
smoky oak
so that i can see if a specific point is air even if the upper half of that block is I.E. a slab
granite stirrup
if (player.getLocation().getWorld().getBlockAt(0,0,0).getType() == Material.AIR) {
}```well that works only for full blocks
granite stirrup
if you wanted ```java
public Material getTypeOfPoint(World world, int x, int y, int z) {
return world.getBlockAt(x,y,z).getType();
}
World world = player.getLocation().getWorld();
if (getTypeOfPoint(world,0,0,0) == Material.AIR) {
}```
granite stirrup
well that works only for full blocks
does it?
it says Gets the Block at the given coordinates
smoky oak
i think you got the idea. I want to target a coordinate given by float values and see if that point in space is , quote, 'air'.
As in if i target a slap block, depending if i target upper or lower half itll tell me 'true' or 'false'.
Also, thanks for linking the method I'll see if it could work
