[sharp bough]

are you talking about an api?

[burnt current]

Then how can you put a helmet on mobs that were created like this? How to do it when mobs are created normally is known to me. but not if i create a mob like that:

public class Soldat extends EntityZombie {

    public Soldat(Location loc) {
        super(EntityTypes.ZOMBIE, ((CraftWorld) loc.getWorld()).getHandle());
        this.setPosition(loc.getX(), loc.getY(), loc.getZ());

[solid cargo]

are there any good API's that simplify banning stuff?

[quaint mantle]

wdym by stuff

[solid cargo]

s t u f f. no but seriously, a good api that manages bans

[quaint mantle]

like items or players

or dupes

[solid cargo]

players

[quaint mantle]

ah

[solid cargo]

punishment api

[viscid ember]

Hello i am in need of some help with config files.

[quaint mantle]

yes helo

[crimson terrace]

what you need

[viscid ember]

i dont knwo how to explain it through text tho...

[quaint mantle]

dont really know of one, but shouldn't be real complicated

[viscid ember]

🤣

[crimson terrace]

just try

[quaint mantle]

vc? come to general-1

[serene rampart]

how can i block players that they cannot switch the items in the 0ffhand?

[solid cargo]

bruh i cant find any

either outdated stuff or straight up a plugin

[serene rampart]

thx

[regal moat]

Guys

player.spigot().sendMessage() is not working for my friend

it works fine for me

but not for my friend

he has lunar client

uhh

send a message

when a certain discord command is triggered

its ok with that part

it works for me

yeah

i know

i use components

                    TextComponent extra = new TextComponent(generatedString);
                    extra.setColor(ChatColor.WHITE);
                    extra.setBold(true);
                    extra.setHoverEvent(new HoverEvent(HoverEvent.Action.SHOW_TEXT, new ComponentBuilder("Click me to copy!").create()));
                    extra.setClickEvent(new ClickEvent(ClickEvent.Action.COPY_TO_CLIPBOARD, generatedString));

                    message.addExtra(extra);

                    p.spigot().sendMessage(message);```

so?

the message

is not

getting sent

he is on lunar client

and i am on vanilla

i also got another friend on vanilla to test

it worked for them

i know its getting triggered

because i am sending a message

to the discord server

via a bot

when that happens

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[regal moat]

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

this is the whole

code

umm

the problem

isnt about jda

i would have

posted in the jda discord server

if it was

i am not an idiot, so please.

[regal moat]

also, this.

[quaint mantle]

Anyone knows how to add cooldown to a command?

[regal moat]

I did some debugging, the player name gets printed before and after printing

it works...

just need to know

why the hell

the message

is not getting sent to the player

that exact message is not getting sent

others are

[eternal oxide]

that says getOwningPlayer does not accept a String

hover over it and see what the error says

is this skullMeta?

then it takes no parameter

exactly. It takes no args

the skullMeta already has an owner

you either set teh owner, or you get the owner

thats wrong

there will be no owner as you havn't set one

setOwningPlayer(OfflinePlayer)

[dark spindle]

what the best anti cheat for spigot

free

[regal moat]

Why doesn't

EntityZombie

and all

exist in Spigot 1.17.1

net.minecraft.world.entity.Entity does exist thogh

[alpine urchin]

Yes

[dark spindle]

which is

[regal moat]

How can I make a custom entity in 1.17.1 NMS

[lavish wave]

So, I have an API and made a Test Plugin for it. But now I want to add commands, when my API Plugin is started. It can send over methods things to the API. It executes the method, but how can I add commands by code?

[gleaming pond]

how do i completely seize someones ability to move in spigot 1.16.5?

[eternal oxide]

cancel PlayerMoveEvent if x/y/z change

[gleaming pond]

?

what

    public void OnPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent e) {
        if (FrozenPlayers.containsKey(e.getPlayer())) {
            e.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }```

that won't work for me

if that's what your trying to suggest

[eternal oxide]

yes it will

[young knoll]

Why is frozen players a map

And why is it using the player instance

[gleaming pond]

oh

it's a freeze command

[young knoll]

Also you can alternatively set their walk speed to 0 and give them jump boost > 128

[eternal oxide]

store players UUID

not Player

[young knoll]

and just use a set

[eternal oxide]

and you only need a Set

[gleaming pond]

but then

public HashMap<Player, Location> FrozenPlayers = new HashMap<>();

what would the player be

UUID?

or

UniquePlayerID

[young knoll]

UUID is the type

[eternal oxide]

if (frozen.contains(e.getPlayer().getUniqueId()) { check getFrom() and getTo() }

[quaint mantle]

Storing player instances should be fine, as long as it's not meant to be persisted across sessions

[young knoll]

I prefer the walk speed method because it isn’t as jumpy

Sure, but you gotta clear them on disconnect

And there is no need in this case

[quaint mantle]

true

[gleaming pond]

wait

would it be containsvalue or containskey?

containskey right?

[eternal oxide]

neither on a Set

[young knoll]

Just contains

[gleaming pond]

no

that's giving errors

            e.getPlayer().setWalkSpeed(0);

        }```

[eternal oxide]

then you havn't changed it to a Set

[gleaming pond]

that's giving errors

[gleaming pond]

?

[eternal oxide]

change yoru Map to a Set

Set<UUID>

[gleaming pond]

wdym?

[eternal oxide]

Set<UUID> frozenPlayers = new HashSet<>();

[gleaming pond]

how do you put then?

in sets

[eternal oxide]

you store the players UUID

[gleaming pond]

i know

but how?

FrozenPlayers.put(target.getUniqueId());

[eternal oxide]

java

[gleaming pond]

isn't correct

[lavish wave]

Hello?

So, I have an API and made a Test Plugin for it. But now I want to add commands, when my API Plugin is started. It can send over methods things to the API. It executes the method, but how can I add commands by code?

[young knoll]

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Set.html#add-E-

getOfflinePlayer or getPlayer

[lavish wave]

Can someone please answer me?

[lost matrix]

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

[lavish wave]

I want to make it over code, not manually

[lost matrix]

Elaborate

[young knoll]

Look into command frameworks

You need to reflect into the commandmap otherwise

[lavish wave]

I have, but it dont work, because spigot dont like that. I need to save it, but I need a writer

[gleaming pond]

how do i add a potion effect without effect particles

like removing the visual particles

[lost matrix]

There is a boolean that determines if particles are shown

[gleaming pond]

e.getPlayer().addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.JUMP, 1000000, 128),true);

wait is it that one

at the end

[young knoll]

true, false

[gleaming pond]

the , true

[young knoll]

Also they go inside the brackets

e.getPlayer().addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.JUMP, 1000000, 128, true, false)

[prime reef]

quick question

[lost matrix]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/potion/PotionEffect.html#<init>(org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffectType,int,int,boolean,boolean)

[gleaming pond]

e.getPlayer().addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.JUMP, 1000000, 128, true));

kk

[prime reef]

egg: true```
if I were to `getConfigurationSection("egg")` on this file configuration, would that actually give me back a configurationsection?

even an empty one

[lost matrix]

It will probably be null or throw an exception.

[prime reef]

alright, good to know. i'll leave my check in place, thanks

hate that you can't do this in java lmao

oh you can, but you have to declare the variable beforehand

[young knoll]

You'll want both booleans

[prime reef]

what?

[lost matrix]

You could do:

    Optional.ofNullable(config.getConfigurationSection("path")).ifPresent(section -> {
      // Do something
    });

[prime reef]

that's true, and it looks cleaner

[gleaming pond]

how do i set maxwalking speed spigot

[lost matrix]

You mean for the faulty movement detection?

[gleaming pond]

yh

[prime reef]

d'you know offhand if there's chaining available here? basically, in descending order, I'm checking for a static deserialize method via reflection, then if that returns null, checking if the class implements ISerializable and calling its deserialize(ConfigurationSection method, then finally just trying to flat out assign the config value to the field lmao

[barren nacelle]

https://pastebin.com/bbcUYjAB Instead of it being only for chicken or beef it gives me the effect for all foods, anyone know how to fix that?

[prime reef]

and then if none of that works, writing the object's value to config instead

i've already got the code in place, it's just old and i'm trying to clean it up because it's hideous

tl;dr if those "ofnullable"s could chain that'd be great

actually nvm, I have an idea

[regal moat]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[lost matrix]

That sounds like Jackson or Gson with extra steps...

[prime reef]

probably

[gleaming pond]

how do i set maxwalking speed spigot

[prime reef]

let me think about this for a sec

[lost matrix]

You can let Jackson serialize objects into yml

[prime reef]

hold up, lemme take a look at Jackson and see how it works

i've only used it for xml

if I can serialize things according to my own definitions then great

[lost matrix]

spigot.yml -> moved-wrongly-threshold

And moved-too-quickly-multiplier

[rugged topaz]

is it possible to add an entirely new item with its own texture in 1.17 rather than replacing the texture of an already existing item?

[prime reef]

under ItemMeta, you should be able to set a custom texture index

you cannot add new items to the game

but you can effectively do so by modifying an item's nbt and attributes

for example, every weapon in my plugin is actually just a stick.

[lost matrix]

First:
Use the
PlayerItemConsumeEvent#getItem()
method to retrieve the item eaten,

[prime reef]

but players won't know this unless they have debug mode on

[rugged topaz]

ah, exactly what i needed, thanks

and this existed after what version?

[lost matrix]

Yes. Items now have a property called custom-model-data which can be used to add 32k textures per item type.

[lost matrix]

I think 1.13

[prime reef]

I'll be honest, I really just want to use JSON for my configs lmao

shame spigot's stuck on yml

[rugged topaz]

thanks for lmk, ill look into it

[lost matrix]

yml and json are translatable into each other 😄

[prime reef]

tbh, I might just forsake the default config.yml and move entirely into json config

default config.yml can eat an egg

[lost matrix]

Yeah. Ive also abandoned default yml

[prime reef]

i dislike that yml types objects for some reason. let me read and interpret everything as either a string, array of strings, or dictionary of strings/arrays

i need consistent behavior lmao

I will handle the conversions

@rugged topaz https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/ItemMeta.html#getCustomModelData()

here

[barren nacelle]

I tried this but that does not work in an if statement

[prime reef]

what are you trying?

[barren nacelle]

Me?

[lost matrix]

I dont know what that means but this works:

  @EventHandler
  public void onEat(final PlayerItemConsumeEvent event) {
    final Player player = event.getPlayer();
    final ItemStack eatenItem = event.getItem();
    final Material material = eatenItem.getType();
    
    if (material == Material.COOKED_BEEF) {
      player.sendMessage("You have eaten cooked beef.");
    } else if (material == Material.COOKED_CHICKEN) {
      player.sendMessage("You have eaten cooked chicken.");
    }
  }

[prime reef]

yeah

as in, what are you writing in your if statement?

[lost matrix]

Btw this would be the propper approach:

  private static final Set<Material> CARNIVORE_FOOD = EnumSet.of(
      Material.COOKED_BEEF,
      Material.COOKED_CHICKEN,
      Material.COOKED_COD,
      Material.COOKED_MUTTON,
      Material.COOKED_RABBIT,
      Material.BEEF
      ... and so on
  );

  private boolean isVegan(final ItemStack foodItem) {
    return foodItem != null && !CARNIVORE_FOOD.contains(foodItem.getType());
  }

  private void punishVeganPlayer(final Player player) {
    final PotionEffect effect = new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.WITHER, 10000, 10000);
    player.addPotionEffect(effect);
    player.sendMessage("§cYou are a Vegan!");
  }

  @EventHandler
  public void onEat(final PlayerItemConsumeEvent event) {
    final Player player = event.getPlayer();
    final ItemStack eatenItem = event.getItem();

    if (this.isVegan(eatenItem)) {
      this.punishVeganPlayer(player);
    }
  }

You should split your code into meaningfully named smaller methods.

This way your code gets really readable

[young knoll]

Thanks for reminding me to switch those to enum sets

[worldly ingot]

Yay for efficient bitvector sets

[ashen agate]

is it possible for all entities to open doors if you add the opendoor pathfinder goal? Cuz I've added it to a Stray but it ain't opening the door.

[lost matrix]

Yes

No

Yes. Yes its possible. I think.

[ashen agate]

How bruh cuz it won't open the door

but it's ticking the goal..

[lost matrix]

Priority

[ashen agate]

add version: 1.0.0 to ur plugin.yml

[lost matrix]

You are trying to get a value from a Map that is not present

[lost matrix]

Ah i see and version is missing the the plugin.yml

[ashen agate]

priority seems to be right? igues

[gleaming pond]

How

do

i make

it list all the args?

im making a staffchat

so /sc e e e

would send

e e e

[stone sinew]

Stop spamming for 1

[gleaming pond]

or whatever

[stone sinew]

And second. Use a string builder.

[echo basalt]

String.join(" ", args)

[lost matrix]

Join the last N elements of your String[] with whitespaces to a single String.

[lost matrix]

You are creating an anonymous instance of OpenDoorGoal. Cant you just look at the villager entity to see how they init their goals?

[ashen agate]

they're using brains instead of goals

but I guess ye

[prime reef]

@lost matrix I am both grateful and immensely frustrated that you reminded me that Jackson exists.

grateful because it'll make things so much easier for me in the long run (including storing player data as SQL, since JSON becomes strings more cleanly than YAML), but frustrated because I have a lot of code to rewrite LOL

I think what I might do to save myself a headache is just save the API structure and delete the actual logic in the methods so nothing changes on the surface but I also don't have the mental clutter of existing code

[lost matrix]

If you want to convert into json then i would recommend Gson over Jackson. I find the custom serialisation of Gson superior.
Jackson is better for yml and enterprise stuff.

[regal moat]

i am confused on nms pathfinding

in 1.17.1 nms

[ashen agate]

how so

also love the mapped version of 1.17 with actual readable nms ay

[prime reef]

hmm. I'll look at gson instead, thanks

[prime reef]

hit me with info on this

i require it

what did they do?

[regal moat]

yeah but

[ashen agate]

download the buildtool

[regal moat]

i am still confused

[prime reef]

i am downloading the buildtool

[regal moat]

i set nms up

i dont know

how to use it

[prime reef]

please...please tell me I don't have to update obfuscated shit with each version...

[ashen agate]

you do have to remap (reobfuscate) it

but it's pretty easy

[prime reef]

misery

[ashen agate]

at least if you use maven

idk about other things

[prime reef]

i try to avoid using nms as much as possible for this reason

and I do use maven

imagine not using dependency management in 2021 😔

[regal moat]

i dont know how to use it

[acoustic pendant]

Hey, i have a question about placeholder, here the %% would be %plugin_maxHealth% %mainclass__maxHealth% or just %maxHealth% ?

    public String onPlaceholderRequest(Player player, @NotNull String params) {
        if (player == null) {
            return "";
        }

        if (params.equals("maxHealth")) {
            AttributeInstance maxHealth = player.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH);

        }
        return null;
    }```

[ashen agate]

ikr

but like Gradle works differently so

[ashen agate]

for papi, it's only t he thing after the plugin identifier. so maxHealth

[regal moat]

god, please, help me

[ashen agate]

waitt

[acoustic pendant]

only that?

[ashen agate]

java -jar BuildTools.jar --rev 1.17.1 -mapped execute this with the buildtools

[acoustic pendant]

and that thing will return me the max_health of a player?

[ashen agate]

you have to return a string with the value of the player's health in your case

[solid cargo]

still hunting for a good method/api that manages your punishments.

[ashen agate]

litebans?

[acoustic pendant]

hmm, how? 😄

[quasi flint]

litebeans

[ashen agate]

just return the max health as string..

[acoustic pendant]

wait, is it necessary for a own plugin?

placeholder?

[ashen agate]

confusion

[solid cargo]

pretty sure it isnt a thing i can use to code with

[ashen agate]

i doubt it

[solid cargo]

litebans is a p l u g i n

[acoustic pendant]

?

[ashen agate]

ye but doesn't it have an API?

[solid cargo]

pretty sure it doesnt

[ashen agate]

no idea what you mean

[solid cargo]

wait

[acoustic pendant]

i mean, why people use papi?

[ashen agate]

https://gitlab.com/ruany/LiteBansAPI/-/wikis/home then what is this hah?

[acoustic pendant]

for public plugins ig

and config right?

[ashen agate]

people use PlaceholderAPI to offer placeholders with data from their plugin to other plugins and/or text strings.

[acoustic pendant]

but if i'm creating a plugin for my use, is it necessary?

for example, to put a string from other class to the actionbar

[lost matrix]

Depends. Do you use other plugins as well?

[acoustic pendant]

wdym

[lost matrix]

If you do everything yourself then you dont need papi

[acoustic pendant]

in a server?

[ashen agate]

it really depends where you want to display the data

imagine you want to have your plugin's data on a HolographicDisplays hologram, you'll need to add a PAPI placeholder in order to display the data

[acoustic pendant]

oh

no, the action bar is from my plugin as well

so i don't need it

ok thanks!

[lost matrix]

Example:
You have a hologram plugin which supports papi and you want your
data in those holograms then papi is a quick way to get that working.
But if you have your own holograms then its def better, performance
and flexibility wise, to just design proper APIs and distribute your data
between your plugins.

[acoustic pendant]

ok, Ty!

[ashen agate]

what mobs besides villagers can open doors?

[lost matrix]

Zombies 😄 kind of

Depends how far you stretch the meaning of "open"

[ashen agate]

open/break same thing imo

as long as the entity goes through im happy

[quiet ice]

Then vex may fall under this

[quasi flint]

Wither

[ashen agate]

I don't mean they should actually leap through the door lol

[lost matrix]

Enderdragon...

[ashen agate]

they should still open it first before entering

When u get that near Ur house

U have done smth very wrong

[solid cargo]

wait i have to pay for it to work?

[echo basalt]

there's a getIdentifier

[calm whale]

Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to remove players cursors from a map except the map's holder cursor ?

[echo basalt]

uh

make a map copy and remove all other cursors

[worldly ingot]

LiteBans' API is an absolute joke

Case in point,

"There is no need for an API"

"Just execute commands"

[echo basalt]

Lmao

singletons for EVERYTHING

It's not really an API, you gotta write your own SQL queries

The API is just a mysql connection getter

[worldly ingot]

It's horrible, yeah

[echo basalt]

So if they add future mongodb support, everyone's fucked

[worldly ingot]

Just that nobody's made a decent replacement for LiteBans

[echo basalt]

great job 👏

[ashen agate]

lmaoo wtf

[echo basalt]

I could make a litebans replacement except without the web gui stuff

But it'd be extremely overengineered and like a year into development

And I just can't bother

[worldly ingot]

Precisely why nobody's done it lol

You'd have to compete with Litebans

[echo basalt]

Yeah

If I'd make a litebans clone it'd be hell

"Illusion's ban plugin, has mysql, mongodb, sqlite, .yml, proprietary extension, all as configurable databases, if you're going multi-proxy, use redis or rabbitmq, works on spigot, bungee, velocity, minestom, glowstone and more!"

[quaint mantle]

what even is litebasn

i just use essentials

[echo basalt]

and then people will just say "doesn't have web gui, not buying"

[echo basalt]

fancy ban plugin with a web gui

[quaint mantle]

its only unique feature is the web gui

[worldly ingot]

LiteBans is the go-to ban plugin

Used on a majority of servers if they don't write their own

[quaint mantle]

i wonder if the bukkit command api is slow

im sure its 50x faster actually implementing an api

[quaint mantle]

.

[echo basalt]

spigot is written on top of craftbukkit, written on top of bukkit and NMS

I believe

The amount of layers make it possible that the command system is slow

Imagine if spigot allowed you to disable major functions of it 🤔

[worldly ingot]

It's not a matter of speed, it's a matter of "Don't hi-jack the command system as a plugin API"

[echo basalt]

Just having a lobby server with no achievement system, everyone is set to adventure so block breaking is not tracked

items would not be ticked, worlds wouldn't need to recalc light all the time 🤔

[vagrant stratus]

Maybe I should compete with litebans 👀

[echo basalt]

👀

Joint ban plugin development, split revenue

[quaint mantle]

I dont believe in you

prove me wrong

😵‍💫

wrong emoji

[quaint mantle]

this was supposed to be motivation ^

[vague oracle]

I think the biggest feature that litebans misses is incremental ban lengths without having to specific the time yourself

[echo basalt]

Players can get banned for different reasons, so maybe a preset ban message depending on a list of configurable reasons

[lost matrix]

And custom mobs with a pathfinder to hunt for red flowers

[vague oracle]

Lol

Hey, does any one know how to hide players cursors from map render except the holder's one ?

[undone axle]

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

[fringe hemlock]

What version is this made for?

[fringe hemlock]

From what I just tested

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.PLAYER_HEAD);
SkullMeta meta = (SkullMeta) item.getItemMeta();
OfflinePlayer pl = Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer("IDK");
meta.setOwningPlayer(pl);
item.setItemMeta(meta);

this worked for me

[prime reef]

spigot still doesn't allow any kind of licensing system for plugins, do they

per this thread https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/premium-resource-guidelines.31667/

[barren nacelle]

Yea sorry I am not good at coding, I started about a month ago

[barren nacelle]

Also this gives the same error, when eating other items it still kills you

[lavish hemlock]

:( IS THIS PLUGIN IMPLYING THAT VEGANISM IS BAD?!?! HOW DARE THEY, SHAME ON THEM!!!

• Said every Twitter Vegan.
  (this is a joke, if you couldn't tell)

Oh hey fun fact about EnumSet!

There's two implementations of it internally.

RegularEnumSet, which stores enums as a long and can only keep 64 enum values.

[quaint mantle]

i dont think veganism will ever cause a lack of produce

im never eating leaves for my entire life

[lavish hemlock]

And then JumboEnumSet, which stores enums as a long[], and can keep way more than 64 values.

[paper geode]

eating less meat is a good thing for both the environment and your body

[lavish hemlock]

Chances of you having a JumboEnumSet are slim though, since it automatically selects either of the two depending on how many enums you configure for that set.

And... most people don't have more than 64 enum constants lol.

[quaint mantle]

just eat raw red meat

😎

[paper geode]

😋

raw chicken is better

[lavish hemlock]

I do not care.

[quaint mantle]

Warning: Poisoning effect

[paper geode]

i do not care either

i eat what i feel like eating

[lavish hemlock]

1. The environment is already dying because of everyone else, me deciding not to eat a hamburger will not fix that.
2. I like meat :p (yes homo)

[paper geode]

and when i cant eat what i want, i go for the 2nd best thing

a good burger is a good burger

[lavish hemlock]

Also, meat is much more natural than shit like protein shakes if we wanna get real.

[paper geode]

protein shake burgir

[lavish hemlock]

The world was designed as a wasteland where things eat each other all day.

[paper geode]

frozen protein shake as the beef

[lavish hemlock]

This is why forcing your pets into veganism should be considered a form of animal abuse.

[paper geode]

yep

[young knoll]

Depends on the pet

Perfectly reasonable for a rabbit

[lavish hemlock]

I mean yeah but the connotation is that we're talking about carnivores.

ill make my parrot eat a 5 star steak

[quaint mantle]

i feed my cat birds that landed in my yard (cleaned ofc)

[paper geode]

you cant stop me

[quaint mantle]

she loves meat, and if i were a cat the same food everyday would get boring

[subtle kite]

own chickens ?

[quaint mantle]

good point

[subtle kite]

does that help with anything?

[paper geode]

their brains are too small to remember what they eat

kek

[lavish hemlock]

Nahh, animals have decent memory.

[quaint mantle]

I treat my cat as if she had a conciousness

[paper geode]

tearing your skin apart is a choice

[lavish hemlock]

That is true.

[paper geode]

a wise choice

[lavish hemlock]

Also, I believe the whole "memory of a goldfish" thing is actually untrue.

[paper geode]

the goldfishes could just be trolling science

[quaint mantle]

[lavish hemlock]

Damn, y'know if I were a goldfish I'd totally fuckin' do that.

[paper geode]

[quasi patrol]

Confuses my brain cells for waits in a for loop.

[waxen plinth]

That's because """ is actually not a comment

It's a block string

You can split it across multiple lines

[quaint mantle]

I didnt ask

[waxen plinth]

It's quite stupid that you add docs to a function by just putting a string on the first line of it

[quaint mantle]

Im sorry redempt.

[waxen plinth]

Then what was your point in posting those

I thought you were posting them to point out how one errored and the other didn't

So I was explaining why that happens

[quaint mantle]

yes it dumb

[quasi patrol]

How does one wait a couple miliseconds in a for loop?

[waxen plinth]

What's your use case?

You should basically never be waiting

You should be using the scheduler

[quasi patrol]

Waiting in general not using the wait function…

[echo basalt]

Waits in a for loop are only acceptable if you're doing it async on crucial timing

outside of minecraft

[young knoll]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/scheduler-programming/

[young knoll]

Keep in mind Minecraft runs on intervals of 50ms

[echo basalt]

not always

[young knoll]

Well, ideally

If it is lagging it may run slower, and if it is trying to catch up it man run slightly faster

[viscid ember]

I am making a plugin which once a "crop" is placed it spawns in two Armor stands on the position of that Armor stand a "Name" and "Progress" Armor stand I tried storing these in both hashmaps and config files but A) I cant find a way to store hashmap before a server reload then import it back in B) Configs are a mess and iterating through thousands of placed crops would be very bad

any recommendations on what i could do?

I have been suggested i should use a DataBase but no clue on how i would go about doing so

[vocal cloud]

Use SQL or sqlite. It's not too hard to learn.

[viscid ember]

@vocal cloud Any recommended tutorials?

[vocal cloud]

I used this but no idea if it's still good. https://www.sqlitetutorial.net/sqlite-java/

That's for lite but you can use the knowledge elsewhere

[viscid ember]

noted

thousands of mysql tutorials ill check those out too

Does MySql or any other type of database work like a dependency?

[opal sluice]

Hello, is there a way to remove the actual life bar of a rided entity ? (NPC to be exact)

[viscid ember]

@opal sluice what do you mean by that? as in if youre riding the Entity the hearts do not show?

[opal sluice]

The entity's hearts yes

I would like to remove that one

[viscid ember]

id say try set mob health to 0 but

that would just kill it

[opal sluice]

I guess so ^^'

[viscid ember]

try it maybe it just works

nothing ever just works but yh 😅

[opal sluice]

ahah, I'll give it a shot, rq

[vocal cloud]

A custom texture pack could albeit that's not through plugins

[viscid ember]

^^^

[opal sluice]

Yeah, but that would remove it from any entity

[viscid ember]

if nothing works texture pack is your best bet

[opal sluice]

So not really a solution ^^'

if you also have an idea on how to put an EntityPlayer invisible that would also be helpful (already tried to get the bukkit entity and make it invisible)

And, setHealth() doesn't seem to work on an EntityPlayer also 🥲

Hey guys! I am looking for some guidance- I am interviewing some developers and I have no prior experience or in-depth understanding of development. I have drafted some questions to ask during an interview, and I want to know if there is anything else I should cover or ask.

make it into an ItemStack

ok

[quaint mantle]

does getInventory.getTitle exist in 1.17.1?

Why don't you check?

Well Im wondering the replacement if it doesnt

because if it does im not able to use it

well, check if it exists or not :)

[quaint mantle]

.

Well, if you try , you'll understand

Oh interesting

It was replaced with getView

No, get view returns InventoryView

Not title

Yiu can use getView().getTittle()

[vagrant stratus]

For 1.17.1, you just == the inventories

[quaint mantle]

Ya

[vagrant stratus]

The InventoryView was never meant to be for what you need

[quaint mantle]

Thanks

[young knoll]

Or you can compare views

That’s the choco approved way™️

[quaint mantle]

so in theory

if (e.getView().getTitle().equals(ChatColor.stripColor(config.getString("string")))) {
  //do something
}
``` should work?

[candid galleon]

The InventoryView was never meant to be for what you need

[quaint mantle]

Well what am I todo then?

[ivory sleet]

I just use InventoryHolders which works fine 😅

[vagrant stratus]

It's not a supported feature, proper way would be == or .equals with an Inventory object

[quaint mantle]

to check for a name?

thats interesting

[young knoll]

.equals with an inventory view works too

But the title isn’t recommended

[quaint mantle]

never thought that would work

I learned something new today

I mean i do every day but

[sullen marlin]

that wouldnt work

[candid galleon]

that won't work

[sullen marlin]

lol

[latent dove]

WTF

[quaint mantle]

Oh

Well

Then

Lmfao

I was right

[latent dove]

the potential

my man was looking for a string in an inventory object

[quaint mantle]

Listen I got confused ok

[latent dove]

i also do that too

sometimes

but i hide it

[quaint mantle]

Id rather know im wrong

lmao

Anyway

back to "development"

thats how it should be™️

At least thats what ive seen everywhere else

[young knoll]

Yes but it’s bad

Because any plugin could have an inventory with the same name

[quaint mantle]

Fair

[vagrant stratus]

You'd want something along the lines of

private static final Inventory INVENTORY = ...;

if(playerInventory.equals(INVENTORY)){//codehere}

[young knoll]

Either compare inventories directly

Or compare the view from the event with the view returned by OpenInventory

[quaint mantle]

ah okay

[vagrant stratus]

better to just compare directly, i believe even the view method is discouraged

[young knoll]

False

It’s encouraged

[vagrant stratus]

Ah, wasn't sure.
Hard to keep track when you don't code plugins much 👀

if (!livesConfig.contains(uuid)) {

livesconfig is yamlconfiguration

and uuid is player's uuid to string

it does exist

but it still returns true...

[plain helm]

Shouldn’t you remove the !

[torn oyster]

i want to check if it doesnt exist

[plain helm]

Oh

Can you send the complete code

[torn oyster]

if (!livesConfig.contains(uuid)) {
livesConfig.set(uuid + ".lives", 3);
livesConfig.set(uuid + ".spectator-time", -1);
}

this is joinevent

[plain helm]

Is the file blank?

[torn oyster]

no

[plain helm]

Like before you trigger the join event did you check if the file was blank?

[torn oyster]

no but i won't ever need to

this is for a personal smp

the file will never be blank again

[plain helm]

If it doesn’t trigger it means that it found the uuid in the file

[torn oyster]

it does trigger

[plain helm]

Oh

What’s the problem then?

It triggers all the times?

[torn oyster]

i don't want their lives to be set to 3 every time they join

its a semi-hardcore smp

[candid galleon]

would that be soft core or hardsoft

[torn oyster]

no idea

[plain helm]

Is livesConfig like a configuration file?

[torn oyster]

yes

lol

[plain helm]

Then you should livesConfig.save()

[torn oyster]

i do that

after

please help me with my issue

[plain helm]

Try if(livesConfig.get().get(uuid+”.lives”)==null)

[vagrant stratus]

mayhaps you needs to make the UUID a string

[torn oyster]

ahem

[plain helm]

He said uuid is already a string

[torn oyster]

this

[vagrant stratus]

Ah

hm

[plain helm]

Did you try this

[torn oyster]

an int can't be null iirc

it'd return 0

but people can be on 0 lives

[plain helm]

Basically

If it’ll return null it means there isn’t their uuid on it and will proceed at setting it to 3. The other times there will ne their uuid and so it won’t do anything

And it won’t set again their lives to 3

[lost matrix]

If you have per player data then its often a good idea to maintain one file per player.
If you have one config for all players then you can also just load all data when the server starts
into memory as the FileConfiguration has to be in memory anyways. For scalability reasons per
player files are cleaner.

[vagrant stratus]

or use something like SQLite

[torn oyster]

there are 2 entries

"lives"

and "spectator-time"

im not making an individiual files for each player

also this is for a personal smp

max of 20 unique ppl

[torn oyster]

i'm not making an sql database for a small friend smp

[lost matrix]

Then i would def just load all data when the server starts and save all data when the server stops.
And during runtime i would just use a class and never tinker with the config files.

[acoustic widget]

Hello i'm new at java development and trying my first gradle plugin.
I don't understand why when I run my task "setupDevServer" the task "cleanSpigotBuild" is running too ? I dont have any dependencies
https://pastebin.com/jDTpUrQE

[echo saddle]

well, it depends on buildSpigot, which depends on cleanSpigotBuild

[acoustic widget]

    buildSpigot
}``` this part is called even i just run a task ? if yes but where do you see cleanSpigotBuild depends on buildSpigot ? 
hasSpigot() = true

I'm trying to understand where exactly

[echo saddle]

may be this

tasks.register('setupWorkspace'){
dependsOn 'buildSpigot'
}

but not sure why either

[acoustic widget]

I tried to put a debug in the buildspigot task, nothing comes here

[echo saddle]

or this?

tasks.register('prepareDevServer') { dependsOn 'buildSpigot', 'setupDevServer', 'copyPluginToTestserver' }

tasks.register('startDevServer', JavaExec) {
dependsOn 'prepareDevServer'

[acoustic widget]

i'm running setupDevServer

[echo saddle]

^

depends on setupDevServer

prepareDevServer depends on setuoDevServer

and startDevServer depends on prepareDevServer

tasks.register('buildSpigot', JavaExec) {
if (hasSpigot()) {
enabled = false;
dependsOn = [];
} else {
dependsOn = ['cleanSpigotBuild', 'downloadBuildTool']
}

[acoustic widget]

hmm yeah startDevServer depend on setupDevServer, but only if i call startDevServer right ??

[echo saddle]

task.register, is there suppose be be something after the 'prepareDevServer"

like Copy or JavaExec?

should spawn lit tnt

that would be impressive

no lol i will spawn wither skel ig

but its not working

is creeper.getLocation() null?

[last ledge]

wherever the creeper dies

[echo saddle]

break that out, check it's not null

[last ledge]

it gets the exact location

There is no problem with your code, did you check if the plugin is enabled

[last ledge]

yes

the plugin is enabled, rest everything is working

hello i have a question
how to controll an entity if you are riding it
for example if setRiding player for ender dragon.
how to controll it

[last ledge]

except this creeper death thing

[vague oracle]

did you add debug code

[echo saddle]

your code is where?

[vague oracle]

if you add debug after the spawn line, then its probably a configuration issue

[echo saddle]

CreeperDeathEvent

[last ledge]

no?

[echo saddle]

did you register that class?

[last ledge]

yes

[echo saddle]

where's your main code with registering?

[vague oracle]

Get an instance of your plugin in that class and after the spawn line put

plugin.getLogger().log("This code runs, therefore its a problem with either configuration or another listener on the server stopping zombies spawning")

[noble lantern]

Howdy yall what we helping with today

[echo saddle]

please don't make me open my code

[last ledge]

uh i am not sure is it like this: ?

        INSTANCE = this;
    }

    public static BossMobs getInstance() {
        return INSTANCE;
    }

[echo saddle]

@last ledge you need to register the listener CreeperDeathEven in your main plugin code, is this happening with something like registerEvents(this, CreeperDeathEvent(), plugin);

[last ledge]

i have already registered in main class

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

[echo saddle]

ok, and you are sure it is "hitting" that class, by putting some log messages?

[last ledge]

doing that wait

[echo saddle]

i always find that putting in some debug log messages will help to find where the problem is

if you put log code in where the method/function starrts, you know that your are reaching that code

put some log messages in on the event to see that the event is fireing

this is how we "debug"

[last ledge]

k

[echo saddle]

log mesages are like breakpoints,but we dont' have that luxury

just need to logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Whatever");

assuming you have got a static variable to the logger for your plugin

just public static Logger logger; in your main

and assign logger = plugin.getLogger();

[last ledge]

ok

[echo saddle]

plugin = this in onEnable()

    public void onEnable() {
        // logic to be performed when the plugin is enabled
        plugin = this;
        logger = plugin.getLogger();```

and in your main class

public static Logger logger;

[noble lantern]

If he already has an instance of his plugin (He has getInstance()) he doesn't necessarily need to have a logger method to get his logged unless you just want it for simplicity sakes

[last ledge]

import frolic.bossmobs.events.CreeperBlow;
import frolic.bossmobs.events.CreeperDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

import java.util.logging.Logger;

public final class BossMobs extends JavaPlugin {
    private static BossMobs INSTANCE;

    public BossMobs() {
        INSTANCE = this;
    }

    public static BossMobs getInstance() {
        return INSTANCE;
    }
    public static Logger logger;

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        plugin = this;
        logger = plugin.getLogger();
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new CreeperBlow(), this);
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new CreeperDeathEvent(), this);

        // Plugin startup logic

    }

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        // Plugin shutdown logic
    }
}

this way?

[echo saddle]

then logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "this is bs");

yeh, try it

[echo saddle]

you can put log messages in to help you debug

[last ledge]

do i put this on my event class?

[echo saddle]

like "logger.logLevel.INFO, "test point 1");

[last ledge]

        logger = plugin.getLogger();```

plugin is coming in red

[echo saddle]

public static Logger logger;

then later

in onEnable

[quaint mantle]

how to make a player ride an entity

[echo saddle]

oh, have to have your plugin in the main too

[quaint mantle]

setPassenger, found it

[noble lantern]

Tbh not sure why it would do that, if you remove a space before kissing does it align it correctly?

[echo saddle]

like public static BossMobs plugin;

[lean gull]

nope, i tried

[last ledge]

ok

[echo saddle]

then when you do logger= plugin.getLogger(); it should work

[lean gull]

i mean i tried removing it before the double arrow symbol

[echo saddle]

        logger = plugin.getLogger();```

i know lots of static

[last ledge]

logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "this is bs"); this in event class right?

[noble lantern]

Maybe try putting the \n without the +

EG put them all in one string context?

[echo saddle]

logger = plugin.getLogger();

so it's not spigot's logger, but the plugins' logger

[lean gull]

i'll try it, but i don't want it to stay like that cause then it will be hard to understand what's going on in code

[echo saddle]

never use spigot's logger

[lavish wave]

I constructed an API with my team. https://github.com/Lcraft-Developers/Lcraft-APIs. This works as a plugin and runs fine, but we have a problem. The problem is that when we add commands to a test plugin that has only imported the API, it cannot add commands. It has its own detection system for the modules and the module system has nothing to do with Spigot. Now I want to add commands in my test plugin. Until now I have only:

plugin.getDescription().getCommands().put(command, options);
        plugin.getDescription().save();
        plugin.getCommand(command).setExecutor(executor);

But, with the "save()" method it still needs a file to save to and genneral it throws an exception that says you can't interfere with the plugin.yml of the API like that. So how can I now have commands automatically registred via the code of Minecraft without specifying any command in the "plugin.yml"? Or is it not possible?

[rigid hazel]

Code: https://pastebin.com/sPb5tzTU
Error: https://pastebin.com/mAZsbM6T
File: https://pastebin.com/b1rRL0Xf

How do I fix this?

[noble lantern]

Check and make sure whatever your Casting List to is actually a List first

Also why ItemStack[] instead of List<ItemStack>?

[rigid hazel]

It is an ItemStack[] first

[last ledge]

    public void onEnable() {
        plugin = this;
        logger = plugin.getLogger();
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new CreeperBlow(), this);
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new CreeperDeathEvent(), this);

        // Plugin startup logic

    }

now do i run it?

[echo saddle]

crap, i might have to actually make updates to my code...

i should leave b4 i hasve to do this

[rigid hazel]

Because getContents return an ItemStack Array

[echo saddle]

dayum. i really don't want to deal with all the folks trying to hack and expoit my mod

i mean my plugin

[rigid hazel]

@noble lantern Did you look at the files?

[noble lantern]

new ItemStack<>(contentArray) will create a new ArrayList with the Array content

[last ledge]

now what do i do sir?

[rigid hazel]

Should I do that in saveInventory?

[echo saddle]

no, will not do

[noble lantern]

Yes

ItemStack[] content = ((List<ItemStack>) c.get(this.guild.getGuildName() + ".inventory" + "." + type)).toArray(new ItemStack[0]);

Your casting a singular ItemStack to a List

[echo saddle]

are you able to get log output?

[lean gull]

i tried it, didn't work

[last ledge]

    public void onDeath(EntityDeathEvent event){
        if(event.getEntity() instanceof Creeper){
            Creeper creeper = (Creeper) event.getEntity();
            creeper.getWorld().spawnEntity(creeper.getLocation(), EntityType.ZOMBIE);
            logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "this is bs");```

[lean gull]

still like 2 pixels off or smth

[noble lantern]

new ArrayList<>(c.get())

[last ledge]

like this in event class right?

[lavish wave]

Adds Commands without using the plugin.yml - Lcraft API

[echo saddle]

so the thing about using the logger is that you can put text to the logger when you hit parts of your code

but you can also send formatted text

as in something like

logger.info(String.format("Registered Service Provider %s for Vault's Economy API", rsp_econ.getPlugin().getName()));

[rigid hazel]

Wait. This doesn't make any sense. Why in saveInventory?

[echo saddle]

so, you can print out variables and such

[rigid hazel]

This is the exact same thing as in loadInventory.

[echo saddle]

and use String.format

[last ledge]

i just want to print the log message

    public void onDeath(EntityDeathEvent event){
        if(event.getEntity() instanceof Creeper){
            Creeper creeper = (Creeper) event.getEntity();
            creeper.getWorld().spawnEntity(creeper.getLocation(), EntityType.ZOMBIE);
            logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "this is bs");

        }```

is this correct?

[echo saddle]

yes, if you setup logger as a static

as I mentioned

then you can use anywhere in your code

[last ledge]

i did set it as static

but the logger is coming in red

in my event class

[echo saddle]

this is a good use case for static variable

[rigid hazel]

@noble lantern It didn't work.

For sure not.

[echo saddle]

all other uses are evil according to OOP purists

[noble lantern]

Your error is in loadInventory not saveInventory

GuildInventoryManager.java:58 specifically

[rigid hazel]

Yes. I know. But why you said I should edit saveInventory.

[last ledge]

so sir, logger is coming in red in my event class, what do i do?

[noble lantern]

The line of code is posted is in loadInventory

[echo saddle]

would need to see the code

[rigid hazel]

Yes.

[noble lantern]

ItemStack[] content = ((List<ItemStack>) c.get(this.guild.getGuildName() + ".inventory" + "." + type)).toArray(new ItemStack[0]);

This is in loadInventory, and your getting an error because c.get is a singular itemStack

And your casting List to a ItemStack

[rigid hazel]

Yes.

Oh.

[last ledge]

main class: https://paste.gg/p/anonymous/4caeb42ae33e4e748c5a1fd855dc4483

[echo saddle]

in your main you have the public static Logger logger;

[last ledge]

event class: https://paste.gg/p/anonymous/fc69808a126c44009101c1d5e5e5c887

[echo saddle]

in onEnable, you asssign it the plugins logger with logger = plugin.loger()

[rigid hazel]

ItemStack[] content = new ArrayList<ItemStack>(c.get(this.guild.getGuildName() + ".inventory" + "." + type)));
``` @noble lantern This doesn't work.

In loadInventory

[noble lantern]

ItemStack[] -> List<ItemStack>

[echo saddle]

pluigin is basically this : plugin = this in onEnable()

[tardy delta]

Why do people put ... = null on a field?

[rigid hazel]

Unexpected token

[last ledge]

        logger = plugin.getLogger();
        logger = plugin.loger();
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new CreeperBlow(), this);```

[noble lantern]

Wym, can you show me what you mean? and error?

[last ledge]

like this?

[noble lantern]

Also, why are you creating an array for a singular item @rigid hazel ?

[rigid hazel]

Please tell me first: What should I do?! I'm so confused. You sent me like 5 pieces of code

[echo saddle]

and its also defined in main as public static BossMobs plugin;

[lean gull]

can someone please help with this?

[echo saddle]

past your code

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[noble lantern]

Why are you making an array though for a singular ItemStack?

Can you just inventory.addItem(c.get(stuff))

[echo saddle]

nt in chat

[rigid hazel]

I don't know what you mean. I just copied the code from the internet, because mine didn't work. https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/save-inventory-and-then-load-it.43907/

[echo saddle]

to the paste site, copy it there and save, then copy the link to chat

[last ledge]

ah, i am so confused what to do

[echo saddle]

got to here

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[echo saddle]

copy and paste your code

then select save

[rigid hazel]

Please @noble lantern. Perhaps you sent it earlier, but please show the code I have to use.

[echo saddle]

the URL will change

[rigid hazel]

Or explain it easy.

[echo saddle]

copy the URL and paste here in chat

[last ledge]

Klugemonkey, so is my main wrong?

[echo saddle]

look

open main

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

then copy your code to that site

afterwards, in the upper right corner click on the icon

[last ledge]

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

[echo saddle]

for save

the url will change

[last ledge]

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

[echo saddle]

copy that url and paste here in chat

[last ledge]

@echo saddle

[echo saddle]

awesome you got ti

this is how we work in this channel

[noble lantern]

I see now, what your doing you need to do it a little bit differently because your c.get() needs to be a (Right now your actually just pulling a string from config)

FileConfiguration#getItemStack(configPath)

As of right now your just loading strings and not the actual ItemStack from the YAML config, you need to actually loop through the YAML Paths and load each ItemStack with that method and save them into a List

Also since your saving empty Inventories (Your just creating empty inventories in the constructor) in your program you actually wont have any ItemStacks unless your calling saveInventory during runtime, if your doing that you need to loop through all the keys in your config path, and then getItemStack on each config key

[echo saddle]

you just made a big step forward in getting support

yay!!

😄

if you paste your code this way, devs and moderators can help you

[last ledge]

wow, i am so excited to get the support 🥳

[rigid hazel]

Thanks. I will try with for-loops.

[echo saddle]

I always explain the problem in chat, post my code and wait for someone to respond

might not be immediate, i have to be patient

but still

right so, like in onEnable, you can put logger.info("Test")'

should work
