[haughty plover]

What a bummer

[limber dust]

so had to do it all out of packets

[quaint mantle]

any idea why .createNewFile() doesnt work?

[chrome beacon]

Yeah you need to handle that exeption

[quaint mantle]

oh what

[opal juniper]

Lmao

[quaint mantle]

i should try{ then?

[opal juniper]

Yeah

[quaint mantle]

ah

try{
createnewfile
catch{?

[chrome beacon]

Ima give myself ★★★★★ for that explination

[opal juniper]

Mhm

[quaint mantle]

agreed

[quaint mantle]

★ for spelling

[chrome beacon]

Lmao

[granite burrow]

How can I get the spawndata of an item?

[chrome beacon]

Get SpawnEggMeta

[granite burrow]

can I get it from a spawner?

[chrome beacon]

No spawners have their own thing

Let me check

[granite burrow]

okay 😄

[chrome beacon]

Last time I worked with spawners I had to use NMS

API can be a bit limited at times

[granite burrow]

dam alright

[chrome beacon]

Alright so for spawners use CreatureSpawner for block and I'm not sure about the item

[granite burrow]

alright, ima try some stuff then. I basically just wanted to allow players that aren't in creative to place a spawner that wouldn't turn into a pig

[proud basin]

Don’t spawners have nbt tags

[chrome beacon]

They do

[rocky rampart]

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Spawner#Block_data

[chrome beacon]

But you need NMS to work directly with them

[granite burrow]

time to learn about nms lmao

[whole stag]

Wait, spawners aren't in the spigot API yet?

[granite burrow]

they are but I dont think you can get the mob that would spawn out of it in item form

[whole stag]

What do you mean by Item form?

[granite burrow]

in that

not placed

[whole stag]

Gotcha

[granite burrow]

yeah so I couldn't find a way to do it with the spigot api and so Im trying with NMS

but idk how to use it

[solemn shoal]

question, where did CraftServer.worldServer go?

[fluid cypress]

what happens if a player connects before my plugin is loaded? should i iterate over each connected player somehow inside onEnable and call the join event?

[solemn shoal]

i have my join event stuff in a separate function

that takes just the player

keep in mind if the admins do /reload it will be called aswell

[hasty prawn]

Got reobfuscated in 1.17

[unreal quartz]

the playerjoinevent will fire for them all unless it is due to a reload

[hasty prawn]

So you'll have to find it's new name

[unreal quartz]

otherwise you can just iterate over the already connected players on the first tick

[solemn shoal]

ah it moved to getWorldServer

[hasty prawn]

Ah

[fluid cypress]

then i shouldnt worry about that

thanks

[solemn shoal]

playerjoinevent wont fire for players in the server before the plugin loaded

in my experience at least

[unreal quartz]

it's almost like i said that

[hasty prawn]

Can they even join if the server hasn't loaded all the plugins?

[solemn shoal]

no you said it will fire

[unreal quartz]

no i said it will fire unless it's due to a reload

[fluid cypress]

the event will be fired or not?

[unreal quartz]

no players can be connected first if the server is just starting up

[hasty prawn]

^

Just don't /reload and you won't have problems

They can't join before your plugin loads

[solemn shoal]

they can connect tho

[fluid cypress]

so, if the server is just starting up, the event will be called for the already connected players?

[hasty prawn]

Connect and Join aren't the same

[unreal quartz]

they won't be logged in until the server is ready

[fluid cypress]

i never do /reload

[solemn shoal]

true

[fluid cypress]

thats bad, i read that somewhere

[unreal quartz]

there are no connected players if the server is just starting up

[fluid cypress]

im using join

[unreal quartz]

it's impossible

no logins are processed until the first server tick

[fluid cypress]

so? no ticks until all plugins are loaded?

[unreal quartz]

a connectoin can be established but the player will just see "logging in" until the server is ready

yes

[fluid cypress]

ok

[unreal quartz]

the server doesn't tick until it's ready

[solemn shoal]

hmm apparently something changed in 1.17 in terms of loading plugins

calling PluginManager#getPlugin results in an error

[unreal quartz]

when are you calling it?

i do not have that problem

[solemn shoal]

during onEnable

calling on itself

[unreal quartz]

as in youre trying to get your own instance?

[solemn shoal]

yep

from a static context

[unreal quartz]

i am pretty sure that should only return a plugin if and only if it is loaded

[solemn shoal]

it used to work in 1.16

i think ill just add a static variable that i set to this in the first line of onEnable

i'd assume loaded != enabled

s there a way to make is to custom mobs spawn in worldguard regions or is there another way of doing that?

[solemn shoal]

fun

seems this returns null now

[unreal quartz]

do you use paper

[solemn shoal]

fork of it, yeah

but i just found another issue

private static final String bukkitversion = Bukkit.getServer().getClass().getPackage().getName().substring(23); fun stuff

[unreal quartz]

i heard that they are altering the plugin lifecycle slightly, but i don't know the details

[solemn shoal]

ah possible

public static int pingPlayer(Player p) {
        try {
            Class<?> craftPlayer = Class.forName("org.bukkit.craftbukkit." + bukkitversion + ".entity.CraftPlayer");
            Object handle = craftPlayer.getMethod("getHandle").invoke(p);
            Integer ping = (Integer) handle.getClass().getDeclaredField("ping").get(handle);
            return ping.intValue();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return -1;
        }
    }```

why was i ever using reflection for this??

[proud basin]

Is there a reason why you are making it static?

[solemn shoal]

so it can be accessed without a context

man some of this code is so naive lol

why am i using reflection when i can just Player#getPing()

[unreal quartz]

didn't exist in earlier api versions

[solemn shoal]

right

oh its really not happy

[torn shuttle]

strings are genuinely the devil

they are the enemy

I think we should get rid of strings

I fuck up comparing two strings about 1/10 times

and I never notice it

specifically because there is a typo in one of the strings and I don't notice it

[quaint mantle]

any idea why OfflinePlayer is red?

[rocky rampart]

I write JS primarily at work, and I constantly find myself doing shit like this when I switch to Java:

if(world.getUID().toString() === cache.world) {
...
}```

[torn shuttle]

I did C# intensively for a week then I went back to doing java intensively for a week and managed to spend 5 hours slamming my face against the correct way of using java generics

[rocky rampart]

I feel that pain. Java is rough around the edges, we need Sun Microsystems to come back and save us

[quaint mantle]

so why is OfflinePlayer red

[rocky rampart]

Hover over it, what does it say?

[torn shuttle]

hover over it, pretty sure it says deprecated

[rocky rampart]

Your IDE will usually tell you what's wrong

[rocky rampart]

You need to add an import for it

[quaint mantle]

is it org.bukkit; ????

[rocky rampart]

Imports don't quite work like that in Java

[limber dust]

You need offlineplayer import

[quaint mantle]

org.bukkit.OfflinePlayer ?

[rocky rampart]

Yep

[torn shuttle]

yeah this is just not right

[quaint mantle]

thats so weird lmao

[rocky rampart]

You import specific classes in Java, so you add an import statement per class you need from elsewhere

[torn shuttle]

also your IDE should automatically suggest the correct import just fyi

[proud basin]

hey joshua

[quaint mantle]

it didnt lol

[torn shuttle]

I think I can count on one hand how many times I manually imported things

[limber dust]

I never manually import

[rocky rampart]

I feel spoiled with IDEA, it'll just import for me.

[quaint mantle]

thats just so weird because normally it'll say "Package org.bukkit", and then some other stuff that's the actual import

[limber dust]

Screw manual importing

[proud basin]

manual importing is the best

[rocky rampart]

There are many classes that exist in the org.bukkit package

[proud basin]

gives you so much potential in life

[rocky rampart]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/package-summary.html

[quaint mantle]

wak

yeah, but normally it'll show the import at the bottom

well not the import but the name of the class

[limber dust]

It slows me down cause I just use the keybind for importing

[rocky rampart]

Actually that big bold part tells you as well

Package is org.bukkit, it's an enum called ChatColor

[quaint mantle]

i dont think you get what im saying LOL

thanks for helping tho

[torn shuttle]

finally

I am done fixing stuff

[rocky rampart]

Here's some more info on packages in case you need more help with it, and/or want to learn more
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/package/usepkgs.html

[torn shuttle]

time to create new things that I'll then have to fix

[rocky rampart]

That hurt to read because I am in exactly the same boat.

[torn shuttle]

ok there is no way that I am using java the way it is meant to be used lol

but hey it works

[granite burrow]

How can I use NMS to get the spawn data of a spawner?

[proud basin]

What are you trying to do?

[granite burrow]

I want to get the entity of a spawner item inside of the players main hand

[buoyant viper]

if im using EntityDamageByEntityEvent, will that still trigger if damager == arrow?

second, if damage by entity is called for arrows, does damager get set to the shooter?

[torn shuttle]

man my code is so clean

it's mah baby

so precious

[ornate patio]

I'm a little bit new to Java (expierenced in other languages so dw) and I'm getting this error:

Test v1.0 attempted to register an invalid EventHandler method signature "public void me.okay.Test.Main.onEntityExplode(org.bukkit.entity.Entity,org.bukkit.Location,java.util.List<org.bukkit.block.Block>,float)" in class me.okay.Test.Main

I feel like theres something wrong with this line:

@EventHandler
    public void onEntityExplode(Entity entity, Location location, List<Block> blocks, float yield) {

any thoughts?

[buoyant viper]

https://hastebin.com/putocenixi.java

i just realized my redundancy in getting the player when setting the owning player, woops

[ornate patio]

hm wait

so

like this?

@EventHandler
    public void onEntityExplode(EntityExplodeEvent event) {

[buoyant viper]

yes

[ornate patio]

so how would i grab the entity, location, whatever

[buoyant viper]

wish me luck ig xd

[ornate patio]

oh i see

thanks 🙂

[hasty prawn]

🤔 does /browhat work?

[robust crypt]

no

[proud basin]

DrDuky you should stop naming your Main classes Main

bad practice

[urban lava]

how woudl i get a potion effect from its ID, like 1 is speed, 2 is slowness etc

[hasty prawn]

Try taking the "2" out of the command? Maybe it doesn't like that for some reason?

[robust crypt]

when i open my server it says this and disables the plugin

[granite burrow]

why?

[torn shuttle]

naming convention dictates your main class should be your project's name

[proud basin]

naming convention

oh

^^

[granite burrow]

ah makes sense then

[hasty prawn]

I wouldn't do it like that, but I think PotionEffectType.getById() is the closest thing you're gonna get. It's deprecated because magic numbers were phased out in 1.13

[buoyant viper]

PotionEffectType.getById(/* potionid */)```

[proud basin]

god damn Max Bans Plus doesn't look like works with my sql

rip

[urban lava]

i want to get a random effect and thats the best i got

because i also only want it to be positive

[robust crypt]

ig u cant put numbers in commands

it worked out thx

[hasty prawn]

👍 good to know I guess

[robust crypt]

:)

[hasty prawn]

PotionEffectType type = PotionEffectType.values()[new Random().nextInt(PotionEffectType.values().length)];? Then check if it's a positive effect.

Could even make a static List<PotionEffectType> of all the positive effects and randomize from that one

[urban lava]

that seems really complex 😓 i think ill see if my deprecated method works first

i know its not good practice but im stupid

[hasty prawn]

Hmm... alright then I guess. Won't work for potion effects past 1.13 probably.

Unless Spigot assigns them an ID

Which it does :l

[buoyant viper]

i think spigot assigns

yeah

PotionEffectTypeWrapper

[hasty prawn]

Mhm

Fair enough I guess lol

[urban lava]

yay, lucky me

:)

[hasty prawn]

smh

😂

[urban lava]

java with curly brackets is actually nice

i feel like its more organized than python indents

and all the chads write the code in one line

[sharp bough]

if i have a hashmap and i define it as private final, like this
private final HashMap<UUID, HashMap<Integer, Long> kits = new HashMap<>();, the private means that no other class can acces it, the final means that it can only be assigned once and that it will always contain this value, does this mean that it will only create this hashmap once or that it will always be an empty hashmap? if so why does this code work?https://paste.md-5.net/asofitataw.cs
its creating a new instance of the hashmap without making it final.
if i make it final and add a value inside this class in a method, will this produce nullpoint because you cant edit the final value of the variable? im so confussed rn

[hasty prawn]

It creates it once, but doesn't make it Immutable

[buoyant viper]

@sharp bough setting kits to final means you cant run something like kits = value at any other point in the code

[hasty prawn]

So you can still add things to it, you just can't set it as another HashMap object

[sharp bough]

you guys just said opposite things lol

[buoyant viper]

no

[hasty prawn]

We said the same thing

[buoyant viper]

we both said you cant reassign kits to another value

[sharp bough]

ooh

sorry

but i can edit the hashmap related to kits

so i can do kits.put...

[buoyant viper]

yes, you can edit all of its elements

[hasty prawn]

Yes, you can still add/remove to it.

[sharp bough]

k thanks

wait no , so how does the code i sent work

the link

its creating a new instance of the class

but still keeps the data

[buoyant viper]

the code you sent initializes kit as an empty HashMap

you can then put/remove elements in and out of it later

but you cant reassign it to another HashMap

so having kit = new HashMap<>(); anywhere else would throw i believe a runtime error

[hasty prawn]

Also static & final aren't the same. If it's not static, a final variable still gets created for each instance.

[buoyant viper]

but stuff like kit.put(key, value) will work

[torn shuttle]

?paste

[torn shuttle]

https://paste.md-5.net/qaqileyimi.java rate how clean this implementation of creating new types of config files is

[hasty prawn]

Why aren't all the variables at the top

[torn shuttle]

there are enums in there

[buoyant viper]

+1

[torn shuttle]

I don't use enums for paths anymore because it takes up too much space at scale

[torn shuttle]

they follow a logical order, it makes more sense if you see the class it's extending

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

essentially they are above the methods that actually use them

[hasty prawn]

ehhh still think they should be at the top

Maybe in the right order still but it looks weird IMO

[torn shuttle]

I'd rather retain the execution order, also less scrolling as more stuff gets added

[haughty plover]

Does anyone here help with protocollib or is this just strictly spigot?

[torn shuttle]

one of my classes was getting so large I had three windows of the same class open at once to add new fields symmetrically

[hasty prawn]

As long as you know what you're doing I guess. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[torn shuttle]

I'm going to have so much fun redoing all of my configs in this format...

https://paste.md-5.net/aqelifayad.java this is what they used to look like, and mind you this is already a massively cleaned up version of what was there before lol

even with all the fields on there I think I'll be able to cut those 850 lines down to 400-500 with the new format

[sharp bough]

when you register a command using ...setExecutor(new CommandExecutorClass()) does this create a new instance of the entire class or just the method defined with @Override onCommand?

[dusk flicker]

that would be a new instance of the class as you are doing new ClassName()

look at this guy

indian accent 13 min video

[ornate patio]

so i have this basic plugin:

public class Main extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
    
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {

    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onEntityExplode(EntityExplodeEvent event) {
        // ... stuff
    }
}

how can I seperate the onEntityExplode event into another file?

[restive mango]

how would i go about creating a plugin mob which is literally just a mob with a different model? like is there any way i can make a zombie where the only diff is that it uses the model of an ender dragon?

[sharp bough]

why did you delete the message and resent it

lol

[restive mango]

because i thought there was a giant wall of text

that was longer than my display

[sharp bough]

wdym a model

[restive mango]

the model.

like idc if it doesnt move even

[sharp bough]

create a new class

implement listenner

[restive mango]

a zombie has a 'zombie' model

like the zombie

[sharp bough]

and make the listener

[restive mango]

the creature

in the wrodl

world

[sharp bough]

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new ClassName(), this);

[ornate patio]

but like do I need to do anything in Main or no?

[sharp bough]

yes in the main add getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new ClassName(), this);

then create a new class

[restive mango]

literally all im tryna do is make falling blocks which don't collide with things 😭

[ornate patio]

ah okay

thanks

[sharp bough]

in the class you created

you need to implement listener

[ornate patio]

ill try this

ye i get it

[sharp bough]

and then do
@fresh templetHandler
public void MethodName(EventType event){

sorry even didnt mean to tag you lol

[ornate patio]

alright

[restive mango]

ah yes

now that you have bestowed your genius upon this gentleman please bequeath unto myself some of your awesome intellect

thanx

[sharp bough]

you want to remove the AI of the zombie?

you just want a zombie

but you dont want it to move

attack

or anything else?

[restive mango]

oh

haha

the reality is

i want to make a falling block entity

that doesn't collide

with blocks

[ornate patio]

worked, thanks

[restive mango]

i've thought about making them ride vexes

[sharp bough]

np

[restive mango]

but

it's tuff

[sage swift]

@fresh temple do you enjoy this

[ornate patio]

just one question, how is onCommand different?

i've searched up online and the process for splitting up commands is very weird

[sharp bough]

you register the command using Objects.requireNonNull(getCommand("COMMAND")).setExecutor(new CLASSNAME());

and in the class you do

  @Override (if you just type @Over it should autocomplete the onCommand)
  pulic boolean onCommand(...){
  return true; always return true here, if you dont it will send the usage message in the plugin.yml

and then you register the command in the plugin.yml file

using

commands:
  COMMAND:
    description: 
    usage: 

etc theres a bunch of things you can add there

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/plugin-yml/

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/create-a-simple-command/

[ornate patio]

ok thanks so much

also one more thing

how can i customize this list of suggestions?

[sharp bough]

if you made the plugin you can

otherwise you cant

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/controling-the-list-of-tab-sugestions-on-client-side.445754/

maybe this can help

but never really made a suggestion

yooo realLine, what happend yesterday? did you manage to fix your error?

i was so tired i couldnt even read

but what was it?

hahaaaa nice

about this, i have no idea

[granite burrow]

bump

[ornate patio]

lol i dont understand

doesnt really matter for now

anyways i want to split up my plugin into two:
one file for handling commands
and the other for tracking a specific player, where the player to be tracked is set by the commands

[granite burrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNDjK5HKCmc This helped me make mine

idk if its the best practice but it works

[ornate patio]

ill save this

[ornate patio]

how can i make the two files communicate with each other?

[granite burrow]

alright if you need to know how to add more tab arguments message me and I can help

[ornate patio]

👍

[granite burrow]

do you mean two classes or two text files (.txt, .yml, etc.)

[ornate patio]

two classes

[granite burrow]

idk if this is the best way to do it but I use this

I just add this right under the class declaration so

public class testClass {
  private ClassName variableName = new ClassName (); // This will get the class
}

then you can call that class by whatever variableName you use

[ornate patio]

hmm

ok i don't see how it would work

i have Commands.java and Tracking.java

so if i do /track someGuy, tracking.java should somehow pick that up

[ornate patio]

and both of these are under Main.java

[granite burrow]

so you want to run a method from tracking.java in your main class?

[ornate patio]

well

yeah

public class Main extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
    Player trackedPlayer;
}

as in

I want Commands to be able to update trackedPlayer

and then have Tracking do whatever with that

[quaint mantle]

pass it as an argument to Commands? kinda depends on your code

[granite burrow]

Main.java

public class Main extends JavaPlugin {
  private Tracking tracking = new Tracking(); // Get the tracking class
  Player trackedPlayer = tracking.getPlayer();
}

Tracking.java

public class Tracking {
  
  private Player target = blah;

   public Player getPlayer() {
      return Player;      
    } 
}

would look something like that

if you wanted to get the target from the tracking class

[ornate patio]

oh i see

so correct me if i'm wrong main.java would look something like this:

package me.okay.Manhunt;

import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class Main extends JavaPlugin {
    Player trackedPlayer;
    TrackCompass trackCompass = new TrackCompass();
    Commands commands = new Commands();

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {

        getCommand("tracking").setExecutor(commands);
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(trackCompass, this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {

    }
}

so then, when I want to get the player

[faint vector]

is there any event to check when someone opes a book

[ornate patio]

i just do commands.getTrackingPlayer() and pass that in to some method of trackCompass?

[granite burrow]

I think on right click and check if its a book

[faint vector]

is there anyother way? I want to keep overhead minimal

[granite burrow]

uh after I finish with okay ill look more into it for you 😄

[faint vector]

okay cool thank you very much!

[ornate patio]

issue with this is that I want commands to call a method of main instead

[granite burrow]

im confused by what your asking sorry

if you want to get something from your main class then you can do something like this:

    private static Main plugin = Main.getPlugin(Main.class); // Get this from main

that will make it so plugin will be the one to get any of the methods in main

[quaint mantle]

no

[ornate patio]

ok lmao here lemme make it as clear as a i can:

[granite burrow]

oh? it works for me perfectly

[quaint mantle]

but

no

[granite burrow]

then whats the right way?

im all ears lmao

[quaint mantle]

dependency injection or static singleton

preferably the first

[granite burrow]

how would you do it?

[quaint mantle]

dependency injection

[granite burrow]

oh alright

ill look into that and try to implement it later

[ornate patio]

I have this Commands class:

package me.okay.Manhunt;

import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;

public class Commands implements CommandExecutor {
    
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if (label.equals("manhunt")) {
            // set the tracking player
        }

        return true;
    }
}

Now, at the comment in the code shown above, I want it to update a variable inside my Main class

public class Main extends JavaPlugin {
    Player trackedPlayer;

After that, Main should invoke a method of another class, TrackCompass, and pass the information originally given from Commands over to TrackCompass

[granite burrow]

would it just be this? private final SpigotPlugin plugin; according to a page on the spigot wiki

[ornate patio]

lmk if something didnt make sense

[quaint mantle]

i made that thread lol

[granite burrow]

oh lmao cool so that would be the proper way?

im gonna read more later but that was what I got from a glance

[quaint mantle]

pass main class instance through constructor of Commands class

[granite burrow]

Id listen to him he wrote on spigot wiki knows alot more than me for sure

[quaint mantle]

[proud basin]

Anyone understand this? https://imgur.com/a/tq8k24F

[granite burrow]

okay cool ill do that in a bit I gotta figure out if theres another way to track if a book is opened other than right click event

[granite burrow]

I don't think theres another way unless im mistaken but I don't see anything in the Spigot-API

[faint vector]

thanks for the help

[granite burrow]

no problem sorry I couldnt do more

A value from mysql

from a plugin storing data

[buoyant viper]

what kind of value are u grabbing

[proud basin]

I'm not too sure

It's not my plugin

[quaint mantle]

is it possible to add Strings to String[]

is this channel dead wth

[proud basin]

What do you mean? @quaint mantle

[quaint mantle]

is it possible to add strings to a string collection

is that a collection

idk if it is

String[] === multiple strings, as mpst poeple know

is it possible to like, loop lines of a file.. and add them to a String[]

[granite burrow]

[midnight galleon]

What is the entity class for Furnace minecart, I cant seem to find it

[young knoll]

Spawners don’t save their spawned entity in item form

[granite burrow]

uh

they do...

[quaint mantle]

any idea why this wont work..?

the top String[] ri = Main.blahblah

oh im stupid nvm

[proud basin]

sir

yea

[young knoll]

Huh, forgot you could stick the data tag on items

Anyway you can’t read that without NMS I would guess

[quaint mantle]

shshsshs it never happened

[granite burrow]

Yeah im using nms

[young knoll]

Well you’ll have to work your way through the compound tags

[granite burrow]

net.minecraft.world.item.ItemStack spawnerNMS = CraftItemStack.asNMSCopy(spawner);
        
        if (!spawnerNMS.hasTag()) { return; }
        
        NBTTagCompound spawnerTags = spawnerNMS.getTag();
        
        NBTBase spawnerNBT = spawnerTags;

thats the code im using

Here are some links to get you started on learning Java:

• https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-java
• https://www.sololearn.com/learning/1068
• https://www.learnjavaonline.org/
• https://programmingbydoing.com/
• https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/index.html

The last one is the only official one, however some of those concepts assume that you already know a bit about programming.

[quaint mantle]

yeah... it isnt working

im not sure why

[hasty prawn]

What are you doing

[quaint mantle]

i think i fixed it

im doing the

for(int i = 0; i < 100) i forgot the rest

im just gonna while(i != 100)

and add to i

[hasty prawn]

That works I guess

[quaint mantle]

thats what i thought

its only registering rank 0

twice? (3x actually)

pardon the reload, its an air world and test server

the yellow 0, and 1 are the integer rank

[hasty prawn]

It's not registering 0 twice, 0 and 1 have the same name

[quaint mantle]

wdym

[hasty prawn]

They're both named "L"

[quaint mantle]

theres more

none of them are L aside from rank 0

[hasty prawn]

What does it return if the id isn't found?

[quaint mantle]

it wont return

it'Ll just return {""}

[hasty prawn]

What is this? Send that whole file in a paste

?paste

[undone axle]

[hasty prawn]

Can you still send the entire file?

[quaint mantle]

OH yeah

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

sorry im such a noob

im just trying to make something "cool"

[hasty prawn]

You should create a Rank class/enum and use these values in that

Enum would be the best.

[quaint mantle]

ahh

for now, the rank sSystem aside

any idea whats with the while()?

[thorn linden]

Help! I wanna dev who can make a minecraft server for me

Any here?

[hasty prawn]

Part of your problem is because you're not using an Enum, that will help solve your issue

[quaint mantle]

how do u remove all dropped items?

[hasty prawn]

Look through the World's entities, check if it's an Item, Item#remove

[granite burrow]

Whats the best way to get players health on leave

and restore it on join

(reason: In my plugin I give players an extra bar of health)

[hasty prawn]

Listen to PlayerJoinEvent and PlayerQuitEvent

[granite burrow]

yeah but how can I restore it when they leave and join? im already listening to it

[hasty prawn]

Just apply it like you did the first time?

I assume you're already giving them the extra bar, just do that onJoin

[granite burrow]

that wouldn't be taking into account any of the health they had in the second bar

I want them to keep the same health like if they had 2 hearts missing out it would be 36/40 health but if I do the logic that I have now since their health bar would still be 20/20 on join it would add back the extra 2 hearts that they lost

like the get the extra bar on join but they don't keep the health they had

[harsh ibex]

qHey I have a Weird Issue,

• Players rubberband
• when they rubberband it usaully says "Your teleport was a Success!"
• There is no rubberbanding or teleport was a success for OP

[hasty prawn]

Remove plugins until it stops happening, then once you find the one that's doing it, check with the plugin author on why it's doing that.

[proud basin]

no don't remove plugins

are you on crack dessie

[hasty prawn]

How are you adding the extra health? You might have to save how much health they had.

How else do you recommend figuring out what plugin is causing issues?

[proud basin]

Just disable them

[hasty prawn]

That works too I guess, if you know how to do that.

[proud basin]

I mean it isn't that difficult

It's much more efficient

[hasty prawn]

Sure ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[proud basin]

🤷

[granite burrow]

I get the health they have before adding the healthboost to them then I add that to the new healthboost which gives me their health plus another row of hearts pretty much, it just adds 20 to the health.

However if I do it like this on join if the player has 14/40 health on leave they would have 34/40 health on join so they could get unlimited health by leaving an joining

[hasty prawn]

Yeah, I think you're just gonna have to save how much extra health they had when they left & then add that to them when they rejoin.

Health boost is really weird with how it works.

[granite burrow]

alright, an extra file but should be a couple kiobytes

[granite burrow]

yeah, wish I could give them extra hearts without it

[hasty prawn]

I remember I made a Spigot patch to fix Health Boost resetting when re-applied lmao

It's a really buggy effect IMO but oh well

[granite burrow]

yeah, its the only way to give hearts tho so its the only thing I can use :/

[young knoll]

You can use attribute modifiers

How can I set block's skullmeta with value? (not like setOwner())

there is no google results (for setting block's skullmeta with value)

[granite burrow]

is it possible to cancel Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater

[quaint mantle]

this.cancel()

or just cancel()

[granite burrow]

can I cancel it outside of the scheduler?

[ornate patio]

is it possible to make compasses work correctly in the nether?

[proud basin]

I believe so yes

[proud basin]

No

[ornate patio]

I tried using setLodestone but the compass is still spinning all over the place

[quaint mantle]

What is the limit of GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH?

[proud basin]

What version of spigot

[proud basin]

I don’t think there is one. But I could be completely wrong

[ornate patio]

1.17.1

[quaint mantle]

pretty sure its 25600, not 2000% sure though

[ornate patio]

I did some quick reading online, do I need to have an actual lodestone block in order to use setLodestone?

[proud basin]

What’s setLodestone?

Never heard of that

[quaint mantle]

so I put 10000 health to the dragon but it spawned with 200 health

ah, theres your answer

[ornate patio]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/CompassMeta.html

[silk mirage]

,

[quaint mantle]

what

[proud basin]

Why not just use Player#setCompassTarget

[quaint mantle]

well if you put a huge number, and it only spawned with a number LESS than it

clearly that must be the max

[ornate patio]

I was using that, but it wasn’t working in the nether

[proud basin]

Can I see some code?

[quaint mantle]

i dont think compasses or clocks work in the nether

[ornate patio]

I wish I could but I’m not on my pc atm

[chrome beacon]

In the nether you need to set the lodestone

[proud basin]

I thought you didn’t Olivo

[chrome beacon]

If you are on an old version the compass won't work

[ornate patio]

I was asking if there wasa way to make it work

[silk mirage]

setLodestone requires a location, I don't think it necessarily has to be the location of lodestone block.

[chrome beacon]

^^

[proud basin]

I always thought lodestone was useless

[chrome beacon]

No need for a block there

[ornate patio]

Well I put a location and the compass was still drunk

[silk mirage]

No

Lodestone is really usefl

[silk mirage]

Mind showing how you instanced Location object?

[ornate patio]

Location location = (Location) player.getLocation()

[proud basin]

…

[chrome beacon]

Why are you casting

[proud basin]

^

[ornate patio]

Well I probably wasn’t then i don’t remember what I put

[silk mirage]

Are you trying to create waypoints?

[quaint mantle]

wt

lol

[quaint mantle]

is player set

[ornate patio]

no, tracking a player like a manhunt

[quaint mantle]

kinda cringe

[silk mirage]

I see, Which event are you listening to?

[proud basin]

dweam

[silk mirage]

Oh Dreamm!

[granite burrow]

dammit

[ornate patio]

OnPlayerMove

[chrome beacon]

There are already like a 100 tracking plugins

[ornate patio]

or something like that

[silk mirage]

PlayerMoveEvent*

[ornate patio]

I’m doing something a bit more dw

[chrome beacon]

I even made one (private)

[ornate patio]

I’m doing more than tracking

[chrome beacon]

Hence why I know the need for lodestone location

[ornate patio]

yeah that

[proud basin]

Olivo will give you his/her source code 🙂

[chrome beacon]

?spoon

[undone axle]

Spoonfeed a newbie for a day and they'll come back with more questions. Teach them to find their own answers and you'll both be better off: you won't get stuck answering the easy questions and they'll be much more productive than before.

[granite burrow]

if thats what your trying to use for the compass just make it point in the direction of the player?

[silk mirage]

Hm, How are you setting the Compass Meta?

[ornate patio]

it’s not really spoonfeeding I’m gonna legit try to make sure I understand ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ornate patio]

well the way I was doing it was super inefficient, I was just desperate to get it working at the moment

[proud basin]

He did ?spoon because of what I said

[chrome beacon]

No jtx wanted me to give you the code which is spoonfeeding

[proud basin]

although they will grow out of it

It’s like feeding a baby

[chrome beacon]

Which is what setLodestone is for

[proud basin]

they grow out of it at some point

[silk mirage]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/creating-a-lodestone-compass.457381 should work

[proud basin]

copy and pasta

[ornate patio]

but basically I would loop through every players inventory and find a compass, if it was a compass, CompassMeta meta = (CompassMeta) item.getItemMeta();, then meta.setLodestone()

god that’s hard to type on mobile

[silk mirage]

Also, To update the compass, you'll have to do a loop through online players

[ornate patio]

ye I did that

[silk mirage]

hm, Alright, So what is being wrong?

[ornate patio]

hmm do I have to set lodestonetracked to false?

[silk mirage]

CompassMeta#setLodestoneTracked(false)

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/CompassMeta.html

Go to javadocs

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

Also don't forget to save the item meta

[ornate patio]

Yeah I am

[ornate patio]

Yeah I saw that and even read it like 5 times but it felt very confusing

thanks so much though, will try it out when I can

[quaint mantle]

Block#setType(); not working!

Hi, this is my code.

                        block.getLocation().getBlock().setType(Material.BEDROCK);```

player teleports well, but
block isn't changing. (location, block isn't null)

[chrome beacon]

Anyway it should just be set lodestone tracked

[ornate patio]

is it also possible to get rid of the enchanted glow with the lodestone

[silk mirage]

I don't think thats how you replace a block

[chrome beacon]

It can be

[quaint mantle]

So what should we do? 🙂

[chrome beacon]

Yeah I didn't bother with looking in to that. Minecraft wiki might have what you're looking for

[silk mirage]

is you code callable?

[quaint mantle]

yeah

as I said, teleports player works well

[silk mirage]

do a log of location, block and block type

check if it works

[quaint mantle]

yeah I already do it

do you want see it?

[ornate patio]

alright then

thanks guys

[quaint mantle]

here you go!

wait

type=BEDROCK what

block isn't updated in game

[silk mirage]

Umm, intresting

[quaint mantle]

yeah also, we haven't event.setCancelled(true) or another replace

[chrome beacon]

Make sure you're looking at the right block

[quaint mantle]

ok! i made sure

It's correct

                        SkullMeta skullMeta = totoAPI.setSkullByValue("eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6eyJTS0lOIjp7InVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly90ZXh0dXJlcy5taW5lY3JhZnQubmV0L3RleHR1cmUvMzVlMmUwOTU5NzEyZGNkMzM1N2NjM2NlYTg1Zjk5YjNmZDgwOTc4NTVjNzU0YjliMTcxZjk2MzUxNDIyNWQifX19");
                        skullMeta.setDisplayName("apple");
                        skullMeta.setLore(Arrays.asList(" lore"));
                        itemStack.setItemMeta(skullMeta);
                        // event.setCancelled(true);
                        event.getPlayer().teleport(block.getLocation());
                        block.getLocation().getBlock().setType(Material.BEDROCK);
                        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(block.getLocation().toString());
                        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(event.getBlock().toString());
                        event.getBlock().getWorld().dropItem(event.getBlock().getLocation(), itemStack);``` here is my full code

[silk mirage]

So

Can you show your plugin.yml

and what version are u using

@quaint mantle

[tardy delta]

yes or if it's from a sapling placed by a player

any idea why thats happening

i dont have any length checkers.. so idk what Index 1 out of bounds for length 1 is

i also double-checked, and none of my indexes are out of bounds lol

[rigid otter]

Hello! Should we cancel BukkitScheduler.runTask()? I mean it will run forever or it will stop after what done in lambda? If it run forever, we should .cancel it.

[chrome beacon]

Arrays start at 0

[quaint mantle]

i know that

i dont have anything that checks for the length of an Array[1] for the length of 1 though

[chrome beacon]

That won't work. If length is 1 you need to access 0

[quaint mantle]

i know it wont work

but the error claims i have something that checks for the length of Array[1] i think??

[chrome beacon]

No you're accessing something out of bounds

I.e larger than the array

[quaint mantle]

i wonder what 😱

[chrome beacon]

Show your code and maybe we can help

[quaint mantle]

i think i'll debug first?

[chrome beacon]

Aight

[quaint mantle]

i did the bad thing

i split something by "" without noticing 😳

[runic mango]

hi, sorry for the late response, i got the expected response but things that depend on the config don't change

._.

[unreal quartz]

.___.

[chrome beacon]

Try changing set config_value to set args[0]

[runic mango]

omg

that fixed it

[chrome beacon]

Great 🙂

[runic mango]

thank you so much god i spent way too long on trying to fix that

[supple elk]

xd

[runic mango]

wait

h it doesn't seem to have actually saved to the file

hi @chrome beacon sorry for the ping but I'm getting nowhere with this :c

or it could just magically fix itself apparently

ok then

[chrome beacon]

um k?

[burnt current]

Hey, I would like to program a method in my plugin that I could call in the joinlistener, which then saves the player's values in a MySQL database when a player joins the server for the first time. I have already dealt with JDBC and know how to create a table via JDBC, but I got stuck when reading and inserting data, because somehow nothing really works and every tutorial says something different. Can anyone help me with this?

[chrome beacon]

Show us what you tried

[quaint mantle]

How do i set server resource pack without using Bukkit.getPlayer().setResourcePack()?

[burnt current]

So first I tried to create the following method in an extra class:

public class addPlayer {
    public static void addPlayer(String username, UUID uuid, int coins) {
        Database.update("insert into playerdata (username, uuid, coins) values ('"+username+"','"+uuid+"','"+coins+")");
    }

My idea was to call it later in the right place.
However, this had not worked. Then I got the recommendation for another tutorial. There it says as an example that the same class should be made as follows:

public static boolean addPlayer(String username, UUID uuid, int coins) {
        try (Connection conn = conn(); PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(
                "INSERT INTO playerdata(username, uuid, coins) VALUES(?, ?, ?)")) {
            stmt.setString(1, username);
            stmt.setString(2,  uuid.toString());
            stmt.setInt(3, coins);
            stmt.execute();
            return true;
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return false;
    }

But with this method, my IDE gives me the error "Method call expected" in the try block when calling con().

[quaint mantle]

Can someone help me? After formatting the file, it shortens the code. How do I use my full screen?

[ivory sleet]

Probably some setting for hard wrap line length

[quaint mantle]

I found the way when I'm studying thanks u for help!

Hello, !

How do you place the player's head? (but I want to set the head skin with value instead of 'setOwner()' like )

eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6eyJTS0lOIjp7InVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly90ZXh0dXJlcy5taW5lY3JhZnQubmV0L3RleHR1cmUvMzVlMmUwOTU5NzEyZGNkMzM1N2NjM2NlYTg1Zjk5YjNmZDgwOTc4NTVjNzU0YjliMTcxZjk2MzUxNDIyNWQifX19 << value example

We can't use ItemStack because we'll place it

we can't place itemstack right?

[chrome beacon]

You would need NMS

[vernal pier]

if you using paper you can setplayerprofile

[tardy delta]

is this something bukkit that when you place gravel in the air (for example with worldedit) it just falls down and it breaks?

could also be a plugin causing it

[quaint mantle]

Thanks you.

[quaint mantle]

Hey~! how can I do it with nms?

there is 0 tutorial/thread on spigot database 😦

            effectLevel = player.getPotionEffect(effect).getAmplifier();
        }
        else if (player.hasPotionEffect(effect)==false) {
            effectLevel = 0;
        }
        return effectLevel;
    }

}

Are there any issues with this code that would crash the server, because paper crashes when the event is called.

[ivory sleet]

public int effectRandom() {
while (true) {
int[] goodPotionEffects = {1,3,5,8,10,11,12,13,14,16,21,22,23,24,26,28,29,30,32};
int randomNum = ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(1,33);
if (Arrays.asList(goodPotionEffects).contains(randomNum)) {
return randomNum;
}
}
}

that while loop

also randomPotionGive == true

is redundant

just check (randomPotionGive)

[urban lava]

wait does that auto check if its ture

[ivory sleet]

mhm

well

auto check is the wrong word

[urban lava]

whats wrong with the while loop tho

[tardy delta]

is there some method to check if a player has a scoreboard?

xd

[urban lava]

you should probably use persistent data

cuz i dont think spigot interfaces well with mc commands

[silk mirage]

that while(true) is making my head die

[ivory sleet]

its blocking server thread execution

[burnt current]

Oh I think I found out what the problem was. I have now replaced what was in the parenthesis directly after try with

PreparedStatement stmt = Database.getConnection().prepareStatement(
                "INSERT INTO playerdata(username, uuid, coins) VALUES(?, ?, ?)")

now this error doesn't come up anymore. But when joining the server I now get the following console output:

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ''false)' at line 1

does anyone know how i can fix this?

[ivory sleet]

assuming that your predicate is fale (the contains thing) then it will try again until its true right

and its just once it can return that the server thread execution can continue

[silk mirage]

possibily because u left a value empty or used a wrong type for the value

[urban lava]

is ther another way to do that

can i pikc a random number from an array?

[ivory sleet]

yeah

[urban lava]

wait

i can just gen a random that is in the index

ok ill just do that

[ivory sleet]

thats how I would do it too :]

[burnt current]

which value?

[urban lava]

does this look better

    public int effectRandom() {
        int randomNum = 0;
        int[] goodPotionEffects = {1,3,5,8,10,11,12,13,14,16,21,22,23,24,26,28,29,30,32};
        randomNum = ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(0,goodPotionEffects.length+1);
        return randomNum;
    }

oops

i forgot to sort through array

im stupid

[ivory sleet]

Just return goodPotionEffects[ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(goodPotionEffects.length)]; ?

[urban lava]

wow that speeds things up, but also will that randomize from 0

or 1

[vernal island]

Hi conclure please check your pms mate

[urban lava]

cuz ik it excludes the last number

[ivory sleet]

That would grab a random element in the array

[urban lava]

no but would the randomize generator from 0 or 1, because if it starts from 1 then you would never get speed

[ivory sleet]

Random#nextInt(int number) generates from 0 to number-1

[urban lava]

ok

thanks

[ivory sleet]

So nextInt(5) can give u 0-4

[opal juniper]

but what if i wanted it inclusive

[ivory sleet]

just + 1

[opal juniper]

yeah but that is stupid

[ivory sleet]

I mean it's not really an issue

[opal juniper]

lmao im just joking with u

[ivory sleet]

[fathom island]

I have a doubt, can you make an enderpearl invisible?

[opal juniper]

technically yeah i guess

[quaint mantle]

How can i disable /[tab] and show the commands that i listed in config without protocollib

[tardy delta]

finally fixed :p

[quaint mantle]

Bump!

[reef wind]

hacked client be like

[tardy delta]

xd true

only one with altmanager

😄

[quaint mantle]

why are you not using protocollib?

[reef wind]

Future has alt manager too

[tardy delta]

also usefull for tesing the anticheat

[reef wind]

yeah ik ik i was joking

[tardy delta]

😂

[burnt current]

can somebody help me there?

[opal juniper]

Not familiar with databases, so no

[ivory sleet]

I believe someone already responded to that anyways

[burnt current]

yes but he had not answered me again

[ivory sleet]

Would be helpful if you could show some more code

[burnt current]

ok. What do you need?

[urban lava]

@ivory sleet the randomization works but now the potion effects dont stack, this is my code

@EventHandler
    public void on(EntityDeathEvent event) {
        if (event.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
            boolean randomPotionGive = event.getEntity().getKiller().getPersistentDataContainer().has(new NamespacedKey(RandomPotionPlugin.getInstance(),"randompotionplugin"), PersistentDataType.INTEGER);
            if (randomPotionGive) {
            
                int potionIDNum = effectRandom();
                PotionEffectType effect = PotionEffectType.getById(potionIDNum);

            
            
                int newEffectLevel = effectLevel(effect,event.getEntity().getKiller()) + 1;
            
                event.getEntity().getKiller().addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(effect,Integer.MAX_VALUE,newEffectLevel-1,false,false));
            }
        }
        }
    public int effectRandom() {
        int randomNum = 0;
        int[] goodPotionEffects = {1,3,5,8,10,11,12,13,14,16,21,22,23,24,26,28,29,30,32};
        return goodPotionEffects[ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(goodPotionEffects.length)];
    }
    public int effectLevel(PotionEffectType effect, Player player) {
        int effectLevel = 0;
        if (player.hasPotionEffect(effect)==true) {
            effectLevel = player.getPotionEffect(effect).getAmplifier();
        }
        else if (player.hasPotionEffect(effect)==false) {
            effectLevel = 0;
        }
        return effectLevel;
    }

[chrome beacon]

Why are you using == true and == false :sadge:

[runic mango]

q: im trying to listen and modify AsyncChatEvent but im a bit lost:

public class inline_dice_listener implements Listener {
    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncChatEvent event) {
        String msg = event.message().toString();
        if (msg.contains("[[") && msg.contains("]]")) {

            TextComponent new_msg = new TextComponent("Hello ");
            event.message(new_msg); 
            // requires component, not TextComponent but no clue how to create that
            //.message is private and .setmessage() doesn't exist
        }
    }

[ivory sleet]

Isn’t it called AsyncPlayerChatEvent

[chrome beacon]

That's not spigot API

[runic mango]

h

[urban lava]

wath else do i do

i can jsut do else

[runic mango]

is there a paper support discord somewhere

[chrome beacon]

Yes

[urban lava]

and no equals true

ig

[quaint mantle]

Can you provide a reload code for the plugin please?

[chrome beacon]

?spoon

[undone axle]

Spoonfeed a newbie for a day and they'll come back with more questions. Teach them to find their own answers and you'll both be better off: you won't get stuck answering the easy questions and they'll be much more productive than before.

[chrome beacon]

== true does nothing. and == false can be replaced with ! before the statement

[urban lava]

thanks

[chrome beacon]

This should have been covered in java basics

[urban lava]

ill keep that in mind

[tardy delta]

does this looks like a good check for permission?

name is the plugin name

[chrome beacon]

isOp check isn't really needed

But other than that looks fine

[quaint mantle]

How can I do reload config.yml?

[tardy delta]

but for some reason people cant access player commands

[quaint mantle]

Just answer the question

[chrome beacon]

We're not going to give the code to you. You won't learn anything that way. Explain what you're trying to do and what part you need help with

[tardy delta]

like i put this in my onCommand and all the permissions are also defined in the plugin.yml

[urban lava]

can you help with why the potion effect levels won't go up, like if a new effect is rolled then its added fine, but if the same effect is gotten again it doesnt take you do level two like i want it to

[quaint mantle]

k (Also, i don't use protocllib btw)

[rigid otter]

Anyone know this?

[chrome beacon]

Looks good

[ivory sleet]

runTask just queues that runnable command to the server thread which is to be executed the next tick and that’s it

[tardy delta]

this will give default access right?

and still it doesnt work

[ivory sleet]

You’d use runTaskTimer if you want to run something with a fixed interval

[quaint mantle]

How could i update a specific line in my scoreboard im trying to put money in the scoreboard and making it update but it just adds the line and doesnt delete the old one

[rigid otter]

Ok thank you!

[quaint mantle]

Score s = o.getScore(C.Cl("&eMoney: " + d.money));
s.setScore(0);
p.setScoreboard(board);

o is the objective p is the player

d is the data of the player

[quaint mantle]

ScheduleSyncRepeatingTask?

[crude charm]

dont do score

do teams

[quaint mantle]

oh

[crude charm]

and then update the team

[ivory sleet]

runTaskTimer tho

[crude charm]

it removes flickering

[quaint mantle]

how do i use teams?

[crude charm]

But I don't use spigot scoreboards I use this https://github.com/ThatKawaiiSam/Assemble

[quaint mantle]

my update code:

Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().parallelStream().forEach(p -> {
            PlayerData d = PlayerData.getPlayerData(p);
            Scoreboard board = d.board;
            Objective o = d.obj;



            o.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.SIDEBAR);
            Score emptyScore = o.getScore("");
            emptyScore.setScore(1);

            Score s = o.getScore(C.Cl("&eMoney: " + d.money));
            s.setScore(0);
            p.setScoreboard(board);
        });

[ivory sleet]

Why are you paralleling that

[crude charm]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/scoreboard/Team.html

[quaint mantle]

idk my friend told me its faster

[ivory sleet]

It’s also unsafe, I don’t believe the scoreboard implementation is thread safe

[quaint mantle]

idk how i would do that with money tho

bc i need a different scoreboard for everyone

[crude charm]

use this

removes flickering

easy and stuff

[crude charm]

if you wanna be clean and easy use this

[quaint mantle]

ye idk how that works the docs dont help me they are confusing

[chrome beacon]

What part is confusing

[crude charm]

^

[quaint mantle]

it just not clear for me

it doesnt explain it well for me

i just want examples

so i can understand it better

[chrome beacon]

You're going to have to learn to use those sooner or later. I recommend taking the opportunity and letting us explain things for you

[crude charm]

^

they are the same as java docs

I mean

they are java docs

[burnt current]

What code should I send you?

I still have, the class that connects to the database, the class that creates a config file with the data needed to connect, and just the joinlistener, where so far I have just called
addPlayer.addPlayer(player.getName(), player.getUniqueId(), 100);
in relation to it. Otherwise, in the joinlistener there is a method that creates a custom head, a PlayerJoinEvent method that contains my above call and opens an inventory for the player where he can choose his language. There is also an InventoryClickevent method.

[crude charm]

the class

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[chrome beacon]

Even better upload the entire project to github so we don't have to ask you for everything

[quaint mantle]

me or him?

[crude charm]

him

[quaint mantle]

ahh

[burnt current]

okey

[quaint mantle]

Do u guys have an example how i would use the teams thing

[crude charm]

what don't you understand?

[quaint mantle]

I just dont get how i would use it in my playerdata

or just at all how i would use it

[crude charm]

That's called spoonfeeding

[quaint mantle]

im just asking for an example

[crude charm]

I mean

what don't you understand

about the docs

you need to learn to use them

[burnt current]

sry i am not familiar with github yet. Do you have a tutorial on how to import a project in the current version?

[crude charm]

what ide

@burnt current

[burnt current]

Intellij

[crude charm]

Press the button the put it on github

[burnt current]

ohh ok thanks

[tardy delta]

is there also a way to get the player name from an uuid?

while that player is possibly offline

[ivory sleet]

yeah

make a request to mojang and cache

assuming you it to be up-to-date

[burnt current]

https://github.com/StraussFalke/Plugin

[tardy delta]

or does this also work?
plugin.getServer().getPlayer(owner).getName();

[eternal oxide]

getPlayer can be null, if they are not online.

[chrome beacon]

Alright so what was the problem

[tardy delta]

hmm true but i was looking for something fast, a request to the mojang sessionserver doesnt seems really fast

I can't use console sender

nvm

[tardy delta]

with the plugins logger it wont work
