[noble lantern]

not one bit

[misty current]

iirc an anti cheat used to have a crash command and had to remove it

[patent wadi]

I know this is a stupid direction for many, but what would be the non nbt way of doing this please.
CraftLadder bRot = (CraftLadder) blok.getState().getBlockData();
In order to get the getFacing() method.

[quaint mantle]

backdoor confirmed...

md will not think that this idea is so good

[sullen marlin]

Search the javadocs for facing

[patent wadi]

so cast the block's state to Directional?

[woeful crescent]

anyone know if spigot will load a plugin automatically (from the plugins folder) if it has already been loaded manually?

[quaint mantle]

h?

[sullen marlin]

Yes

[sullen marlin]

What do you mean

[patent wadi]

ty

[woeful crescent]

If I've loaded a plugin using Bukkit.getPluginManager().loadPlugin(myJar) before the plugin loads, will bukkit try to load it again anyways, like it usually does?

[sullen marlin]

Load it again when

[woeful crescent]

When the server loads all its plugins

[sullen marlin]

Idk

Try and see

[woeful crescent]

For some reason, I was getting an NPE because some stupid class loaded before my main plugin loaded and tried to get the instance

[patent wadi]

I don't think so, if you have 2 copies of the same jar it wont load both if they both register with the same name

[woeful crescent]

So I did this?JAVA public static Plugin getInstance(){ if(instance == null){ File thisJar = new File(PATH); try{ return Bukkit.getPluginManager().loadPlugin(thisJar); }catch(InvalidPluginException | InvalidDescriptionException e){ e.printStackTrace(); return null; } }else return instance; }

[patent wadi]

I suspect that mechanism would stop it

[young knoll]

Why are you

What

[eternal night]

you might want to assign the instance that you return 😅

also soft depend is a thing

[woeful crescent]

yeah, whoops

nah, because of complications I couldn't use softdepend

the class loading was kind of unreliable and I had no idea what caused it

But I'm gonna try this, hopefully it works

[patent wadi]

making a module loader for a plugin?

[junior briar]

i'd like to associate all the source codes of the server in BuildTools directory to my spigot dependency so that investigations on game details will become easier.
could someone tell is this doable?

[woeful crescent]

Yep

What IDE?

[junior briar]

eclipse

the latest 2021-09 i think

[sullen marlin]

Sure, just import the maven into eclipse and run from that

[junior briar]

ty!

[peak granite]

how can i hide all item flags

[quaint mantle]

hmm?

hide enchantments?

[peak granite]

no

like attack damage

etc

[woeful crescent]

ItemStack#addItemFlags(ItemFlag.HIDE_ATTRIBUTES)

[quaint mantle]

check vanilla flags

[woeful crescent]

would that work?

[quaint mantle]

yeah that would work

lemme see wiki

[peak granite]

(Material.DIAMOND_SWORD.addItemFlags(ItemFlag.HIDE_ATTRIBUTES)) ?

[quaint mantle]

mc wiki

[woeful crescent]

Nah you add it to the item meta

uhh

also it's gotta actually be an item

not just a material

So, to construct an item: new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_SWORD)

An ItemStack is an actual item; a Material is just an item type

To get ItemMeta (what you're trying to modify): ItemMeta meta = yourItem.getItemMeta();

[quaint mantle]

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorials/Command_NBT_tags#Items

[woeful crescent]

And .addItemFlags() is under ItemMeta

[woeful crescent]

So you would use meta.addItemFlags(ItemFlag.HIDE_ATTRIBUTES)

[woeful crescent]

uhh, don't think that's what you should do?

ItemFlags is the spigot way to do it I'm pretty sure

[peak granite]

        if (item == null) return null;
        ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
        if (meta == null) {
            return item;
        }
        meta.addItemFlags(ItemFlag.HIDE_ATTRIBUTES);
        meta.addItemFlags(ItemFlag.HIDE_ENCHANTS);
        meta.addItemFlags(ItemFlag.HIDE_DESTROYS);
        meta.addItemFlags(ItemFlag.HIDE_POTION_EFFECTS);
        meta.addItemFlags(ItemFlag.HIDE_UNBREAKABLE);
        item.setItemMeta(meta);
        return item;
    }```

?

[woeful crescent]

Yep!

[quaint mantle]

i think meta never gonna be null?

[woeful crescent]

You can also use .hasItemMeta() to check if the item has meta

[woeful crescent]

nah

[young knoll]

Air has null meta

[quaint mantle]

air is item..?

[young knoll]

Also addItemFlags is a varargs

So you can pass them all at once

[woeful crescent]

Yes

[ivory sleet]

Some of the block exclusive materials don’t have an ItemMeta I believe

[young knoll]

True

[woeful crescent]

Also, to add all item flags, you can use ItemFlag.values()

[young knoll]

But they shouldn’t be an itemstack in the first place

[ivory sleet]

Indeed

Would be quite cursed

[woeful crescent]

So meta.addItemFlags(ItemFlag.values()) would probably be better

(values() returns all values in an enum, which is what ItemFlag is)

or wait

actually whatever i just realized there might be non--hiding item flags

lol

[young knoll]

Can you explicitly pass an array to varargs?

[woeful crescent]

yep

[ivory sleet]

ya

Think they have the same signature

[young knoll]

Nice

[ivory sleet]

[junior briar]

it says Missing artifact org.spigotmc:spigot:jar:1.17-R0.1-SNAPSHOT D:

[tender shard]

run buildtools

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/

[tender shard]

?bt

also wtf why are you compiling against 1.17 instead of 1.17.1

[junior briar]

i've run BuildTools already.
oof, it is 1.17.1. 😮

[tender shard]

you got 1.17 in your pom instead of 1.17.1

[junior briar]

corrected that. now it's going right.

ty

[tender shard]

:3

[young knoll]

Some people really do use 1.17.0

[tender shard]

there's even people still running 1.8

lol

[buoyant viper]

some even use 1.7.10...

[tender shard]

watch out

LeGuernic is using 1.4.6

but I think he got banned on spigotmc

[proud basin]

hi

I still haven't figured out this scoreboard stuff lmao

[junior briar]

well, sadly, it seems there're still no sources attached to the dependency.

[tender shard]

if you're using spigot: it has no docs. add spigot-api as well

[junior briar]

this is what i'm trying to do.

[tender shard]

NMS of course has no docs at all

[proud basin]

How do I stop rendering the scoreboard?

[junior briar]

docs no need. source attachment is good enough.

[tender shard]

idk what you mean with source attachment sorry

but you can easily view the decompiled source of any class

e.g. CTRL+B in IntelliJ

[proud basin]

this https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/bagacuhofe.cpp

How can I stop this from rendering

[tender shard]

did you choose those poor variable names yourself or is that some kind of decompiled code from another plugin @proud basin?

[proud basin]

no

none of them

That's mojang for ya

I'm in GuiInGame class

[tender shard]

?

[proud basin]

It's a class made by mojang

[junior briar]

i'm running in eclipse. however if it's doable in intellij, it should do in eclipse too.

[tender shard]

There's no class called GuilnGame in mojang mappings

[proud basin]

This isn't a server jar

[tender shard]

I still don't understand what you're trying to do

[proud basin]

client jar

[tender shard]

why would you want to mess with client classes when developing a plugin?

[proud basin]

It's not a plugin

[tender shard]

oh okay, maybe you should seek some help on another discord then. this channel is for spigot development

[proud basin]

No it's not

[tender shard]

It is, read the channel description

[proud basin]

It says Ask other questions here

this is a "other" question

[tender shard]

yeah okay but you won't get any answer here probably

[sullen marlin]

I'm not sure why it says that

Maybe it was from 1.17

[proud basin]

Don't know where else I would go

[sullen marlin]

I can't recall

[proud basin]

Forge would yell at me for using mixins

Worth a try here though, you never know someone may be smart

[tender shard]

I just wanted to point out that this channel was supposed to be for spigot dev questions, even when the descriptions might suggest otherwise. Most of the people here probably never looked at the client code

[proud basin]

I mean it's not that hard to understand

it's basically like a server jar

[junior briar]

in eclipse, when sources are attached, their class names, methods or fields become available to be searched. also u can check their declarations from codes invokes them.

[tender shard]

if it's so easy you wouldn't be asking here. As said, probably noone here knows. And tbh I still think you at least have a typo in "GuilnGame" because that doesn'T sound like any name someone would name a class like

I might be wrong though ofc

[young knoll]

Go to fabric

[proud basin]

I never said It's easy

I said it's not hard to understand

[young knoll]

Or a genetic mod dev discord like MC Ideas Academy

[proud basin]

I feel like they would yell at me too Coll

[tender shard]

for real? can't eclipse decompile it itself? IntelliJ can easily do so with Ctrl+B

[tender shard]

noone is yelling at you

[hasty prawn]

So instead of going to a fabric/forge discord for client side stuff you came here expecting to get more answers?

[proud basin]

yes

[young knoll]

No you need a plugin for that

[proud basin]

https://imgur.com/NjaXcKT

[tender shard]

I'm just pointing out that a discord that's about server software isn't the right place if you seek for help regarding client things

[proud basin]

I understand

but it's worth a shot

[tender shard]

true, but probably indeed noone here knows. that's all I wanted to say 😛

[hasty prawn]

True, but you're definitely going to have more luck in one of those other Discords.

[proud basin]

I almost got banned from forge for asking a question...

and it was because I was using mixins

they don't like it

[tender shard]

there's probably a bit more to that story lol

[proud basin]

no

literally go ask a question about mixins there and see what happens

[tender shard]

okay

you got a link to their discord?

[proud basin]

no

[tender shard]

then I can't help

[proud basin]

🤷‍♂️

unfortunate

[tender shard]

good luck though

[junior briar]

eclipse only decompiles when u try to access the class' declaration itself.
it won't collect any internal informations of a class if there'no sources attached.

[tender shard]

that's... bad

All I can say is that IntelliJ handles it fine

might be a time to switch 😛

if you're using maven or gradle, switching is a no-brainer

[sullen marlin]

Are you trying to fix a bug in the server

If not surely this is unnecessary

There are javadocs for the api

?jd

[undone axle]

Spigot: https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot
BungeeCord: https://ci.md-5.net/job/BungeeCord/ws/api/target/apidocs/index.html
BungeeCord Chat: https://javadoc.io/doc/net.md-5/bungeecord-chat/latest/index.html

[junior briar]

no, just trying to understand some game logic details.

[sullen marlin]

Spigot source doesn't have all classes anyway

It only has about 600 out of like 3000

[junior briar]

that should be enough for me actually 🙂

[tender shard]

I doubt you would get banned there for asking questions

[junior briar]

i would say that's reasonable.
decompiling for all classes takes a lot of resources and the result is different from the sources. for example it loses the docs.
it is not necessary if u already have the sources.

[tender shard]

maybe I misunderstood what you're talking about

I just wanted to say you can select any classname in IntelliJ and have it decompiled immediately. It does not decompile all your dependencies at once if that's what you're talking about

[junior briar]

then how would the ide know if some certain fields, methods or classes are invoked by it?

[tender shard]

it doesn't, as said I misunderstood your question

however you could just decompile the whole .jar and then open that in your IDE or sth?

[proud basin]

that's fabric I said forge

[tender shard]

ugh no. that was the forge discord

[hasty prawn]

Wrong Discord. Lol

CurseForge and Forge aren't the same thing

[proud basin]

^

[tender shard]

wait

[young knoll]

Lul

[tender shard]

you want to tell me that curseforge = fabric?

[hasty prawn]

No, thats also different

[tender shard]

ugh

I'm so glad I don't have to deal with client mods lmao

[hasty prawn]

[proud basin]

bully

[tender shard]

client mods are the worst thing ever lol

[junior briar]

it's truely a work around, but no docs make me feel a little bad 🤷‍♂️

[tender shard]

20 different projects, 30 different websites lol

[young knoll]

What

[proud basin]

It's great practice though

[young knoll]

There’s like 2

[hasty prawn]

They'd be alright if they had literally any documentation at all

[young knoll]

Forge and fabric

[proud basin]

well

time to visit fabric

[young knoll]

Curseforge and modrinth

[hasty prawn]

Forge's documentation is "ok here's how to install. goodluck idiot"

[tender shard]

yeah and when you google "forge discord" you end up at "curseforge" discord which apperently has nothing to do with forge according to the messages above

[young knoll]

Lol

Nice

[tender shard]

so yeah

fuck all those client mod garbage lmao

[hasty prawn]

Doesn't help that they have basically the same logo too

[tender shard]

ikr?

it's like someone making a project called "cursespigot" with a spigot as logo and then getting upset when people confuse both

[hasty prawn]

Heh, kinda sounds like Paper

With the logo exception

[tender shard]

and the different name^^

[paper viper]

thats why u search papermc

instead of paper

[tender shard]

and the fact that paper includes 100% of spigot

or lets say 99%

but yeah I really dont understand all those forks anyway

if they think they can do stuff better, why dont they create PRs instead of getting their own fork

[paper viper]

some forks have different goals than others

not like everyone will agree to it

[tender shard]

yeah of course

I'm fine with paper and spigot

everything else will be gone in 2 years anyway I guess

[hasty prawn]

Whys that

[tender shard]

just speaking out of what I've seen

I might be wrong, time will tell

anyway I doubt that any real large server will use some obscure fork that just came up and might be gone next year

but that's a bit offtopic anyway

[young knoll]

90% of servers are on spigot or paper

[paper viper]

you know what would be good

if we had a server that wouldnt rely on stupid bukkit code

[young knoll]

That’s called fabric

[tender shard]

and it sucks

[paper viper]

Yeah, but people are lazy

[tender shard]

I disagree strongly on the fact that bukkit should not be used in favor of fabric

[tender shard]

yeah pretty much, 86% according to bstats 🙂

[young knoll]

Fabric doesn’t have anywhere near the same API equivalent as Bukkit

Maybe one day it will

[tender shard]

the rest are some forks that will be gone in some years

[hasty prawn]

TacoSpigot

[paper viper]

i really wish hybrid server impl would die

[tender shard]

for example 😄

[hasty prawn]

What like, Sponge?

[paper viper]

no

[tender shard]

yeah fuck mohist

[paper viper]

not sponge

Mohist

and other shit

Sponge is fine

[hasty prawn]

Idk what that is

[tender shard]

mohist ist just cra

p

[paper viper]

the devs are also super toxic

codebase is shit

[tender shard]

mohist tries to unify bukkit and some other API

but its bugged like hell

in one version it didnt even call PlayerDeathEvent when a player dies

I got soooo many bug reports

until I finally found out it's a mohist issue

[hasty prawn]

Idk man they have a cool animation that disagrees with you

[paper viper]

hint

its fake

Lol

No good solid software would ever have that 😂

[hasty prawn]

[tender shard]

lmao

[paper viper]

they create a new Player object every time the player dies

[tender shard]

whoever has the need to put things like "solid code" or "Code grade A++" into the README has shitty code

[tender shard]

which is stupid

[hasty prawn]

??

[tender shard]

idk if its true, but if it is: very stupid

[hasty prawn]

Yeah that's stupid af

[tender shard]

going to sleep, have a nice day everyone 🙂

[hasty prawn]

You too

[paper viper]

it is

if u go onto essentialsx

they made an public announcement abt it

[hasty prawn]

Ohhhhh yeah I remember seeing that now

[tender shard]

yeah they say "DONT USE MOHIST" lol

[quaint mantle]

anyone know what the alternative to Material.isTransparent is?

[tender shard]

and I agree on that

[tender shard]

why do you need an alternative for that

[quaint mantle]

getting player that player is looking @

dont want them looking thru walls

[hasty prawn]

What's wrong with isTransparent though

[sullen marlin]

World#rayTraceEntities

But idk why you need alternative

What's wrong with the method

[hasty prawn]

It is deprecated for some reason

[proud basin]

I figured it out all by myself

HA

@Inject(method = "renderScoreboard", at = @At(value = "INVOKE"), cancellable = true)
    private void renderScoreboard(CallbackInfo ci) {
            ci.cancel();
       }
``` here yall go

[pliant tundra]

i have an enchantment that conflicts with mending
when i add mending to an item with the custom enchantment, it doesnt work because it conflicts (which should happen)
but when i do it the other way around it does work
how can i fix this

[hasty prawn]

Use addUnsafeEnchantment

[junior briar]

nice, i found a good way to solve this for windows eclipse users.
use mklink /J to create a symbolic link of Spigot-Server\src\main\java in Spigot-API\src\main. name this link whatever u like.
then specify Spigot-API\src\main as source attachment folder of spigot dependency in eclipse. it'll automatically searches subfolders as sources.

[buoyant viper]

sponge

[quaint mantle]

Air

[noble lantern]

someone just make a jar using raw mc protocol

server jar*

[junior briar]

i notice the server will check and move the spawn location to avoid choking.

while (avoidSuffocation && !worldserver1.getCubes(entityplayer1) && entityplayer1.locY() < (double) worldserver1.getMaxBuildHeight()) {
    entityplayer1.setPosition(entityplayer1.locX(), entityplayer1.locY() + 1.0D, entityplayer1.locZ());
}

do we have sth similar in the api?

[gaunt saffron]

    private void sendServer(Player player, String server) {
        ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        DataOutputStream dataOutputStream = new DataOutputStream(byteArrayOutputStream);
        try {
            dataOutputStream.writeUTF("connect");
            dataOutputStream.writeUTF(server);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        player.sendPluginMessage(this.getServer(), "bungeecord", byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray());
    }

my player does not support "sendPluginMessage"
is there a way to rewrite that? or write a function that does that? im not using spigot/bukkit but still need the functionality

ping me !

[quasi flint]

TF U using then?

Frickin Vanilla or what

[gaunt saffron]

limbo

im looking for the sendPluginMessage definition but cant find it

[quasi flint]

What is limbo?

[gaunt saffron]

low power afk server

[quasi flint]

Gl getting help with that

[gaunt saffron]

im pretty sure the function can be rewritten

    public void sendPluginMessage(@NotNull Plugin source, @NotNull String channel, @NotNull byte[] message);

    /**
     * Gets a set containing all the Plugin Channels that this client is
     * listening on.
     *
     * @return Set containing all the channels that this client may accept.
     */
    @NotNull
    public Set<String> getListeningPluginChannels();

thats the only thing i found...

[languid dome]

So i got a question, I save a deserialized itemstack in a config and i noticed from 1.17 to 1.18 that a variable in it changed and was wondering what it even is. My plugin compares the itemstack someone has to the one saved in the config and it isnt working properly because of the different variable. The variable in question is just called v, Here is a piece of the config for reference

  itemstack:
    v: 2730 (1.18 changed it to 2860)
    type: DIAMOND_SWORD
    meta:
      ==: ItemMeta
      meta-type: UNSPECIFIC
      Damage: 2

[sullen marlin]

I don't think that should affect
equality / comparisons

[languid dome]

It does. I changed the number to the new one and tested it and it worked. Before it was saying it wasn’t the right item

[flint parcel]

Hi you don't know of any good boss or pet plugins?

[wide solstice]

When making a bungee/spigot plugin, do you guys normally recommend one uber jar or one for the proxy and one for the servers?

[flint parcel]

spigot

[sullen marlin]

Hmm. Not sure if that can be changed but could be worth a bug report to track at least.

[flint parcel]

Don't know about any plugins for pets? Please?

[pearl hollow]

my friend said that the entity hurt method does not full kb. Is this true?

im using it for a pvp plugin thats why

[worn tundra]

Banned from Google, son?

[worn tundra]

Well have you tried it?

[pearl hollow]

no but my friend and I saw it

[worn tundra]

?

Why don't you try it?

[pearl hollow]

ok i dont really take kb

[flint parcel]

Why banned from Google

[worn tundra]

lmao

Because it seems like you are unable to make an extremely simple Google query for spigot pet plugins.

[quaint mantle]

Use Bing, yields better results👌

[junior briar]

about org.bukkit.HeightMap.WORLD_SURFACE_WG, what's the meaning of "for worldgen"?

[worn tundra]

Is this helpful?
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/HeightMap.html#WORLD_SURFACE_WG

[junior briar]

well, no.
i think i got the "for worldgen" words just from the docs.

[worn tundra]

Suggests that a world generator may have a different highest non-air block

[quaint mantle]

not rly asking for a spoonfeed

but if anyone knows a cool resource for generating nice spheres like worldedit's

id like to know

too many ugly/inefficient methods out there 😦

[eternal oxide]

Look at teh FAWE source

its ugly code, but efficient

[kind hatch]

So I have a lot of files that I need to copy to the plugin's directory while also maintaining the directory structure. Is there a quick way to do this? I know #saveResource() exists, but is there a better way to do it than a bunch of save statements?

[solar plinth]

You could get your plugin file dynamically and then extract it like a normal zip file

[kind hatch]

Wdym by dynamically?

[eternal oxide]

saveResource is teh most efficient

[solar plinth]

I guess when your plugin version changes, your filename does too, so you should hardcore your filename

I think the Api of the JavaPlugin has a method for that

[kind hatch]

Did some quick searching about saveResource and haven't found a way to bulk copy without just writing it for each file. Which I really don't want to do. That'll be over 300 lines of what is essentially bullshit.

[lavish hemlock]

NIO

oh wait

this is resource shit

[eternal oxide]

you don;t need to type every file, you can package search programatically

[kind hatch]

Can you give an example?

[eternal oxide]

specify the root source and programatically extract everything in that package

[kind hatch]

Ok, but what would I use to extract everything?

[eternal oxide]

saveResource

it would probably be around 10 lines of code

I can help you with it in about 30 minutes if you can't do it. Morning ablutions first.

[kind hatch]

Probably will need some help, but yea, the idea is to just use a for loop, but how can I specify that root source. It would be nice if there was a method built in that gives the default resource path, but I'm currently unaware of anything that can give that. Or any other way to access internal jar resources.

[languid dome]

Ok made a bug report, For now ill just update the values in my code when its loading the itemshops so they still work

[sullen marlin]

just to get clear, you are using getItemStack, right?

[quaint mantle]

whats FAWE?

[kind hatch]

Fast Async World Edit

[languid dome]

I am comparing the itemstacks themselves with the itemstack from the config being serialized. Here is my code

    private ItemStack checkPlayerHasItem(Player player, Shop shop) {
        ItemStack item = shop.getItemStack();
        if(player.getInventory().containsAtLeast(item, shop.getAmount())) {
            ItemStack[] items = player.getInventory().getContents();
            for(ItemStack invitem : items) {
                if(invitem == null) continue;
                if(invitem.getType().equals(item.getType())) {
                    ItemStack sellitem = invitem.clone();
                    sellitem.setAmount(shop.getAmount());
                    if(sellitem.equals(item))
                        return sellitem;
                }
            }
        }
        return null;
    }```

[sullen marlin]

Yes how did you deserialize

[languid dome]

ItemStack.deserialize((Map<String, Object>) map.get("itemstack"));```

[sullen marlin]

Uh

No

Use getItemStack

[zealous crow]

hello there I have a for loop that start like this:

for (String shop: ShopUtil.ccShop.get().getKeys(false))
            {

it loops inside shops in "normal" order from first to last element in the array. Can someone help me on a proper way to do the loop in reverse? from last to first element?

[kind hatch]

If ccShop.get() returns a list, you could copy it to a new list, reverse it with Collections#reversed() and then iterate over that. Ofc, that all depends on what the #get() method returns.

[zealous crow]

ty i'll try that

i wanted to prevent copying the list tho

[kind hatch]

I think you'd have to regardless, that get() method might return an immutable object in which case, copying is the only thing you can really do.

humm maybe i can try reversing the data from the list when it's created at it's origin.. will be better

[quaint mantle]

i tried looking at worldedir and it was just layers of stuff

simple solution would be just to use worldedit but i kinda want to learn

[kind hatch]

? FAWE is just a faster version of the normal WorldEdit, most of it's commands are the same.

[quaint mantle]

is it made by someone else i didnt know

ill look now ty

@eternal oxide You still around? I still need some help with these files.

[lean gull]

does anyone know how i could start with world gen? (NOTE: i'm pretty basic in java and spigot)

[eternal oxide]

yep, I'm just looking at it now

[kind hatch]

Bet

[quaint mantle]

looks like it’s the same as w.e in terms of region selection

[kind hatch]

It's quite literally a drop in replacement. 😛

[quaint mantle]

wym

[kind hatch]

FAWE was created because normal WorldEdit

1. Blocks the main thread when performing tasks.
2. Only works on the main thread, making it painfully slow to work with when dealing with larger operations
3. Missing basic features past 1.12 (tab completion, better message formatting, etc)

FAWE does the exact same thing as normal WorldEdit, but does it better.
It's multithreaded, works with world files directly, and is easier to work with.

@quaint mantle

[spiral light]

Anyone knows something about the Biome-Noise that is new in Minecraft 1.18 ? It allows the biome selection by 7 different values - but it will not work with custom collections of biomes :/ I think somewhere it needs to be registered

[kind hatch]

@quaint mantle FAWE is to WorldEdit as PlotSquared is to PlotMe, both are better because they offer more and innovate on the base ideas of their original.

[quaint mantle]

i see

idk i guess my struggle is idk how they make such perfect circle shapes

if i could see the maths or how they do it i could learn but im pretty lost when reading it all

[kind hatch]

Well, are you trying to create one in game or replicate the functionality in a plugin?

[quaint mantle]

i want to generate sphere around a location in game

so ye plugin i guess

dont rly wanna import it though

as id rather learn from this

[kind hatch]

Well there is a sphere command. You can get the usage by typing //sphere, but it's pretty straight forward. //sphere <materal> <size>. The actual syntax may differ, but iirc, that's one way to do it.

There is also an //hsphere command which will create a hollow sphere.

[quaint mantle]

i wanna automate it

in my plugin

is what i meant soz

[kind hatch]

Ah, well looks like you will either have to replicate the functionality yourself or call upon the API to create one. (If it has such functionality)

Automate how?

[quaint mantle]

game starts

generate random water orbs

to jump and parkour in

at random centers

[lean gull]

anyone?

[kind hatch]

I'd recommend looking into both the WorldEdit api and FAWE api to see if one of them has a method available to create spheres.

[eternal oxide]

FAWE does

its terrible to read but its well optimized

[languid dome]

just tested it by using a command to save the item in the config so its forsure the right item then had it check it with my function and it worked then changed the v in the config to how it is in 1.17 and tested it again and getInventory().containsAtLeast() is returning false. And i used getItemStack this time

[misty current]

^

[lean gull]

i have this tutorial on bukkit.fandom.com about making world gen in bukkit, would it work if i use the spigot api or do i need to like import something

[quaint mantle]

Only spigot API suffices

[lean gull]

so i can't?

i'm not quite sure what suffices mean

[grim ice]

btw

you probably should get the config info on enable

then store them

then use them

[quaint mantle]

Just note that it was written before the material rewrite so it may not Work 100%

[quaint mantle]

That it is enough to only have the spigot api

[lean gull]

oh so i can?

[grim ice]

but it doesnt matter that much so u can get ur stuff working then u do that

[quaint mantle]

Well, technically you only need bukkit API but you cannot get it nowadays, so you'd want to use spigot-api

[lean gull]

wait i think i understand, bukkit is the default and then spigot adds everything bukkit has but changes it?

did i get that right

[quaint mantle]

Yes

[lean gull]

oh, so i can use bukkit anyway

[quaint mantle]

Though spigot is the default, you cannot get bukkit in 1.16+

[lean gull]

ok

[quaint mantle]

And If we are talking about bukkit.org bukkit (which is the Bukkit the guide was originally made for), it does not exist since 2014 or so

[lean gull]

ok i still need help with the world gen, this tutorial is outdated (literally the first method they said to put has something deprecated)

[quaint mantle]

Why is it deprecated? Perhaps the docs suggest an alternative

[lean gull]

this wiki page is in progress anyway

[quaint mantle]

Also, you might want to try datapacks instead

[lean gull]

idk how to do datapacks

[quaint mantle]

It aint, it hasnt Bern updated in years now

The Future is datapacks though, you cannot really stay with worldgen Plugins forever

[lean gull]

is it bad to use the same dependency for the spigot api in 2 plugins?

like the same file

[quaint mantle]

Huh? Like shading a 3rd Party depend in two Plugins or depending on the same plugin?

If it is Just something Compiler time, no

[lean gull]

i have the spigot api jar file in my dependency folder, i'm currently using it for a plugin, but i just made a new one. should i use the same jar file for it or should i make a new one for just that plugin

[quaint mantle]

I recommend using maven or gradle. But No, Not an issue to Point to the same jar .... For now

[lean gull]

i use maven

but the default thingie doesn't have everything

so i need to import the BuildTools spigot api into my modules tab or whatever

[quiet heron]

How would I go about cancelling placing of blocks from my custom ItemStack. They open GUI:s so i dont want them to get placed when right clicked.

[quaint mantle]

you dont want ur custom items to get place?

just get a pdc on it

[kind hatch]

Check if the item they are holding is a custom item that meets criteria. You can do this in a number of ways:

• Check it item name and lore is the same
• Custom NBT
• PersistentDataContainer
• LocalizedName (Quick and dirty, pretty sure this isn't supposed to be use for this though)

[quaint mantle]

then every blockplaceevent

check the pdc

if it contains the pdc

then cancel it

[quiet heron]

When i try to do "event.setCancelled(true);", i get a bunch of errors in console

and the block gets placed anyway

[kind hatch]

You listening for the BlockPlaceEvent?

[quiet heron]

Can i send pastebin links here?

[kind hatch]

Yes

[quiet heron]

[kind hatch]

@eternal oxide Any luck? Or do you think I should post this to the forums? Cause I'm still not finding anything useful for it.

[eternal oxide]

I'm not having any luck doing it simply

[quiet heron]

I'm a total noob to java development, I got started yesterday so dont judge my poor skills ;)

[kind hatch]

Yikes, why isn't there something for this. lol

[quaint mantle]

anyone had experience with pulling players to a center? trying to make it require as much force as is required instead of going overkill

i.e if player is 7 blocks away, pull them 7 blocks in, if theyre only 3, just whatevers required for 3

[kind hatch]

@quiet heron What's your console errors?

Here are some links to get you started on learning 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.

[quiet heron]

oh wait thats the old one

[kind hatch]

Well I have a hunch the new one might suffer from this as well.
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "Object.equals(Object)" because the return value of "org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack.getItemMeta()" is null

Second line in your error. You need to add a null check for itemmeta

if (itemStack.getItemMeta() == null) {
  return
}

[quiet heron]

Hold up, with the new one i dont get any errors in console, the block just places

[quaint mantle]

anyone know how to cancel swimming?

(i tried player.setSwimming(false) and it does not work)

[kind hatch]

@quiet heron You might be able to get away with ItemStack#isSimilar() for your comparison. Instead of event.getItemInHand() == (ItemManager.pct) you should try event.getItemInMainHand().isSimilar(ItemManager.pct)

[quaint mantle]

why would you?

[buoyant viper]

they want that pre 1.13 swimming 😎

[kind hatch]

Can't imagine.

[quaint mantle]

imagine.... 1.8x - 1.18x

[buoyant viper]

imagine 1.19

[quaint mantle]

welp i mean they are right

they can cause client issue with pre 1.13 if they support that

[quiet heron]

My programming class just ended but ill get back to it once i get home…

[buoyant viper]

@quaint mantle try setting sprinting to false instead of swimming, got a hunch that might do what ur trying to do

[quaint mantle]

nvm it turns out

pretty much client sided

im pre sure

like even if i cancel it which i did, they swim just as fast even tho it doesnt look proper to other ppl

just gotta figure out how to make the velocity apropriate

[lean gull]

anyone? pls

[quaint mantle]

no we cant? welp you might need to look at spigot api, apis in spigotmc resources, or create one urself with nms

i recommend this
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/worldgeneratorapi.77976/

1.17 only btw

[kind hatch]

@eternal oxide Posted it on the forums, hopefully someone knows a way to get it working properly.

[quaint mantle]

uhhh

[kind hatch]

@eternal oxide Appreciate the help though.

[quaint mantle]

Class.class.getResource("*.txt")

wonder if that will work lol

wait

just read ur post again

guess you will need to do that urself :sadge:
or look at other resources?

[kind hatch]

I've been searching for a while for posts about it. Not aware of any other plugin that do this. Most of them use databases for it, which I will eventually add, but I want a stable file system that can act as a backup or just by default. Allows end users to not have to worry about database setup if they don't want/need it.

[spiral light]

Can't post/copy link but search for AdvancedWorldCreatorAPI.... Made an 1.18 update that allows you a lot of customisation since it uses the default Bukkit-WoeldCreator-just some small modifications

[quaint mantle]

that as welll

i was trying to find it lol

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/advancedworldcreatorapi.89100/

[rough basin]

Is there a way to prevent entities from collided and pushed back?

Like each Entity's Mass?

[kind hatch]

LivingEntity#setCollidable should work.

[rough basin]

Thanks :)

[lean gull]

thanks, but i would like to make my own plugin without using an api (other than spigot api ofc) for the world gen part

[frosty tinsel]

Hi, is there any reason, to store BukkitTask instead of BukkitRunnable, when all the methods on BukkitTask after on BukkitRunnable as well?

[spiral light]

You can copy my code / what is your goal world you want to create ?

[lean gull]

my goal is to make a moon-like world with craters, and paint it with some blocks, and also change the blocks used for the craters

i want it to be like simple perlin noise generation that is quite flat and keeps on close to a y level

the craters would make the ground go up a little in a curve in the shape of a rough circle, and then go down and center

[quaint mantle]

Then go and learn java + spigot

[lean gull]

just gonna ignore you

[quaint mantle]

Sorry we wouldnt spoonfeed you

[glossy venture]

there is no way to access the default minecraft world generator

if you want to modify existent terrian i recommend the api

[lean gull]

i don't want the default one, i wanna make my own one

[glossy venture]

okay

[lean gull]

just like a very simple thing

of noise and craters

[glossy venture]

you can use simplex noise

included with bukkit

and for craters use world decorators

[lean gull]

i don't even know where to start, can you explain this to me or send me a known article about it?

[spiral light]

Weong

Wrong

[glossy venture]

what

im recommending something

how is that wrong lol

that doesnt even make sense language wise

[spiral light]

No about no way to edit vanilla one

[spiral light]

This

[glossy venture]

well u can use like IChunkAccess from nms or something

but you cant modify it

[junior briar]

hi guys, i'd like to know after which event a new player will be considered hasPlayedBefore?

[glossy venture]

probably after login

might be discarded when the server is force terminated tho

without /stop

[junior briar]

how do i stop them from joining before their data being stored?

[kind hatch]

Maybe try the AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent

[quaint mantle]

Spigot is used to run bukkit plugins right ? If I wanted to learn plugin programming I should learn bukkit ?

[kind hatch]

You should learn Java first. That way you will have a far greater understanding of how the Spigot API works.

[quaint mantle]

I already know java and java OOP that's why I am here asking

still a junior developer though to be honest

[kind hatch]

Oh, well in that case, they only thing you need to learn is the Spigot API.

[hollow spindle]

I haven't learnt bukkit but since spigot builds on top of bukkit it really doesn't matter

Yeah just go with the spigot api

[regal dew]

Spigot is an extension on the bukkit api

[quaint mantle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/ This the right api for this ?

[kind hatch]

Yes

[regal dew]

googling "how to do x on spigot" usually gets you far enough if you click on spigot forums links for simple stuff

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/index.html @quaint mantle

[quaint mantle]

👍 thank you

[regal dew]

but the real challenge is to break your problem down to what you actually want to do, like googling I want to make an auctionhouse plugin will ofc not work

[lean gull]

i made a rough sketch

[lean gull]

(i didn't do the craters here though)

[regal dew]

but, something like "How to schedule a task 20 ticks later" will

[quaint mantle]

I'm planning to go to uni and get a licence in cs so don't worry about that, the objective is to learn while applying myself and using logic and solving problems, while making a project

[hollow spindle]

license?

[quaint mantle]

sorry more like masters degree

[kind hatch]

@quaint mantle Keep in mind that you can always ask people for help with your problems here and on the forums. Spigot Plugin Development is the dev help section you would want to post in.

[hollow spindle]

Ah you going for masters?

[quaint mantle]

well I mean I hope I can 😅

This is my only ticket to leaving the island I live on

[quaint berry]

Is this where I go for help?

[hollow spindle]

ya

[kind hatch]

Development help yea

[hollow spindle]

plugin dev help yes

[quaint berry]

Ok

How to I make my plugin create a config file

I have no Idea

[junior briar]

have checked that. its phase might be too early for me.
i'm gonna do sth to the spawn location of new players. in some cases i need to kick them out.

[hollow spindle]

You can take a read at this https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/creating-a-config-file/

[quaint berry]

Thanks

[iron vector]

What is the best way for backwards/forwards compatability? Do I have to package the plugin for Every Version I wish to support? Or is it poosible to support multiple Versions in one jar?

[kind hatch]

do sth to the spawn
sth?

[quaint berry]

Yeah... I'm to stupid

[hollow spindle]

Which part are you stuck with?

[quaint berry]

The generating of the file in the folder part

(The config.yml)

[hollow spindle]

I have the following in my main class.

saveDefaultConfig(); // Most likely want this part since this is the one that copies the default config.yml over.
config.options().copyDefaults(true);

[kind hatch]

Two ways exist. Reflection and Abstraction.

Reflection works decently well for some things, but may not work long term. It relies on fields not changing names for a long time.
Abstraction gives you more control, but you have to keep up with dependencies and learn the differences between versions. (Could have difficulty making backwards support if things are not well documented)

As for which is better, I'm in the Abstraction camp. However, both have their use cases.

[iron vector]

So I basically create a wrapper for every API call I need and switch to the fitting implementation on Runtime?

[quaint mantle]

Better yet: don't use any API which does not honor SemVer

[kind hatch]

Or you create one interface for certain tasks (item creation, packets, chat, etc) and load whichever one is needed for what version the server is running.

[hybrid spoke]

depends on if you are using NMS

[quaint mantle]

would you recommend a recent version of the api or an older version to learn it ? since it goes from 1.10 to 1.18 apparently

[kind hatch]

Learn the most recent

[summer scroll]

latest ofc

[hybrid spoke]

start with 1.2

[kind hatch]

It will be easier as things that exist in it might not in older versions.

Makes your life easier

[junior briar]

i mean something

[rough basin]

I'm studying .yml by watching this tutorial. Why am I getting these errors?
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/yaml-configuration-tutorial.444987/

[spiral light]

I simply copied the world creation and with generatorsettingsbase and Dimensionsmanager you can modify it ... Or copy the complete nms chunkgenerstor class ... That was how I did it for 1.17

[kind hatch]

instance is what you are supposed to replace with an instance of your main class.

[glossy venture]

yes very simple, clean and convenient

[hybrid spoke]

you either renamed the parameter, are not in the scope or don't even have it

[kind hatch]

JavaPlugin#saveResource

[spiral light]

But it worked ... Best think would be if the API adds finally the new world creator stuff I made in a PR

[rough basin]

oh it was an example 🤦

Thanks guys

[kind hatch]

Well there are only two other events you can try: PlayerLoginEvent PlayerJoinEvent

[nocturne sinew]

is there any other way of moving blocks smoothly instead of using armor stand ,falling block and shulker. (the players should be able to stand on that blocks )

[spiral light]

Just search for Bukkit world creator and if you know smth about java und the API you will easy understand this

[hollow spindle]

I'm planning to create my own mine generating area as part of a feature in my core plugin. I have in my head 3 for loops to handle x, y and z blocks and I might create a block in that 3D space. However i'm a little concerned to performance and other issues that may arise with this plan. Any suggestions on how I should go? (It will be handled in a separate async thread)

[lapis lark]

Could anyone help? Whats name of PacketPlayOutEntityMetadata in remapped-mojang?

There is no something like ClientboundEntityMetadata

[eternal night]

ClientboundSetEntityDataPacket

[iron vector]

Do I even have to do that on very Simple plugins? My Plugin basically only runs a command when a player leaves... And thats it.

[lapis lark]

Right, thanks ❤️‍🔥

[gaunt saffron]

is there a good waay to check if player is touching water?
i tried this;
if (ploc.subtract(0,1,0).getBlock().getType() == Material.WATER | ploc.subtract(0,0,0).getBlock().getType() == Material.WATER)
and it sucks
I'd like to check if player is touching water anyhow

[kind hatch]

No, not on simple plugins. You would only have to do something like that if you are dealing with something that the spigot api doesn't already support or doesn't have enough support for. Things like item creation are pretty straight forward using the default api, however if you were using modern 1.18+ items and wanted to support backwards, you would need something in place to prevent errors from being thrown on 1.17 servers that say "Hey, that material isn't found".

[eternal night]

Isn't there Entity#isInWater

[gaunt saffron]

no idea, lmme chheck

[eternal night]

pretty sure that method exists

[gaunt saffron]

there is ...

[iron vector]

So on a simple plugin like that I just compile against the oldest API my code supports and spigot does the rest?

[gaunt saffron]

testing...

[spiral light]

https://timcloud.ddns.net/mapping/ is for 1.18 and for everything .... Has a little search function for stuff like you want to know ...

[sacred ice]

for support older versions and new, legacy is checking if plugin running under >= 1.13 and the plugin is compiled in 1.16+ so its support 1.7-1.18

[gaunt saffron]

thanks it works

[sacred ice]

example

[lapis lark]

You have already gived that, so big page, lagging. Also white finder in right corner seems dont work

[spiral light]

BoundingBox of the player and increase it a little bit ... Then check every block inside the corners of the bounding box

[kind hatch]

Yes. You would actually be compiling against the newest api and it would support back to whenever the api call was added to the game.

IIRC, good title support wasn't added to the api until 1.11. So when I was making a plugin for 1.9 and 1.10 I created a Title class that would handle sending the title and subtitle packets to players. Then 1.11 came along and added a nice little method called #sendTitle() and it nullified the need for my abstraction classes.

[lapis lark]

Hm, today working

Strange page

OK, thank you again 😄

[spiral light]

Works if page is loaded completely with enter ... Page needs to be big for that amount of data 🤔 I don't have laggs there

[lapis lark]

I think it was lagging 2 days ago because of my 9302839347324 opened chrome pages about maven

[kind hatch]

@iron vector Ultimately, you are going to want to test your plugin on every version you want to support. Best part of making multi-version support is you get to choose which versions you want to support. Don't let people force you into supporting versions that will make your life harder. I see plugins that still support 1.8 even though they also support 1.18. Not sure if they fully capable of backwards compatibility, depends on featureset, but at a point, it might become a bit much to support large version gaps.

[spiral light]

Exactly ... I don't support old versions because it's too much work and many stuff happens in nms so for each version a new class sucks too

[iron vector]

I know... But I have a REALLY simple plugin, and I wanted cross version compatability on a small scale first.

[spiral light]

Take 1.8 API and test it in every version ...

[kind hatch]

Well what does it do? Because if you are doing something really simple, it will probably work on older versions out of the box.

[lapis lark]

What that could really tell? Marked pom? All works, but 1.17 contains crossed out pom

Logic same as another modules

[kind hatch]

@iron vector Second question, what versions do you want to support with your plugin?

[lapis lark]

Only difference is spigot version and java version (16 for 1.17)

[graceful fractal]

What does the simulation-distance in server.properties in 1.18 refer to? I set the viewdistance to 5 and the simulation distance to 10, but I still can only see the chunk with a radius of 5

[kind hatch]

Simulation distance is a new feature that gives you control over how close one needs to be to certain things in order for them to animate properly. Things like mobs, water, redstone will stop working and freeze if players are outside of the range. This is a performance setting.

In your case, it's working as intended. Players can only see 5 chunks in front of them, but things are likely happening 10 chunks out from them.

[graceful fractal]

oh, ok

thanks

[iron vector]

Not fully decided yet, I have heard that it is way easier with 1.10+ so Ill stay there for now.

[kind hatch]

Well, again, what are you wanting to achieve with your plugin? I might be able to give you some advice on which things you will need to abstract.

Also, 1.10 is a little old. I'm not sure of many people still running it. According to bstats, 1.10 isn't even being run anymore.

Ofc this only applies to servers that have metrics enabled, but a good place to check every once in a while.

[iron vector]

The current "Project" is allowing to use a plugin that stops the server a while after the last player left. It compiles fine with the oldest spigot api I could find in the maven. It only needs like Playercount and support for the player join and player quit event.

[kind hatch]

Oh, yea, those api calls have been in since the beginning. Don't even need to worry about abstraction as it will support all versions that people are playing right now.

Hell you could do that in one class if you really wanted to.

[iron vector]

OK. The plugin.yml contains an API-Version. What should I put there

[iron vector]

it is lol I REALLY wanted a simple plugin to start experimenting with cross version

[kind hatch]

You will want to put in the latest version of the game.

[worn tundra]

Functional programming pog

[iron vector]

And Spigot just realises Well, this plugin is from 10 Minor versions in the future, idc lets run it?

[kind hatch]

api-version was added in 1.13 due to all the material names turning into strings from ids. If you don't put it in or put something invalid, the plugin will still work, it's just that the server will enable legacy item support which isn't ideal.

[kind hatch]

That's because spigot is mostly forwards compatible.

[iron vector]

Ok. I dont need that then.

For shits and giggles: Is there a spigot API for pre 1.8 minecraft? Those dont seem to be on the maven repo....

[kind hatch]

I don't think they have anything older than 1.8. In the old days, craftbukkit reigned supreme and everyone developed for that. It got DMCA'ed and everyone flocked to Spigot. Spigot is based off of craftbukkit, but there aren't any jars you can readily download due to the DMCA takedown. You might be able to compile it yourself with BuildTools, but I'm not 100% sure about the really old versions.

[iron vector]

Ill try that later....

[kind hatch]

Yea, BuildTools only goes back to 1.8. There might be a way to get 1.7 files, but I'm not aware nor interested in finding them.

[chrome beacon]

There is no good way of getting 1.7 or older files

[orchid cove]

hmm i want to do a private chat toggle but i don't have any code idea someone help

[misty current]

I understand why people would care about 1.8

But 1.7...

[burnt current]

Hey I have a quick question about attribute modifers. I try to change the attack speed of a sword in the ItemMeta with an attribute modifier. Unfortunately, based on what I found on the Internet, I still don't understand how it actually works or how I have to specify everything there. Anyone who happens to be able to help me with an example?

[chrome beacon]

Listen to chat event cancel it and resend your own messages

Or have fun with chat packets

[kind hatch]

There's a Conversation API available. I don't think it will block out the entire chat, but it will ensure you are talking to the right person.

[quaint mantle]

What file/files am I meant to download in /repositories/snapshots/org/spigotmc/spigot-api to get started ?

[kind hatch]

Are you using maven?

[quaint mantle]

I guess I should use maven

I see some maven files in there

[kind hatch]

If you aren't you can use the spigot.jar file created by BuildTools. You just have to add it as a dependency.

If you're using maven, it'll download the files automatically once you configure your pom.xml.

  <groupId>org.spigotmc</groupId>
  <artifactId>spigot-api</artifactId>
  <version>1.18-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>

its done thanks

currently downloading dependencies

[iron vector]

If I dont have the api of a version in maven, can I just compile against the server jar for that version?

The bukkit server jar of course

Or spigot that is

[kind hatch]

Not sure I fully understand. Can you explain a bit more?

[iron vector]

On the webpage of spigot, I can download versions back to 1.4.7. But the Maven-Repo stops around 1.8. If I want to compile a Plugin for 1.4.7, can I just use that spigot jar as dependancy?

[kind hatch]

Unlikely

[lusty dust]

Is there a way to delete a resource from spigot?

[candid galleon]

Report it asking for such

[kind hatch]

Report your resource and in the field just say that you want it deleted.

[quaint mantle]

does spigot 1.18 api require jdk 17 ?

[kind hatch]

The jar requires it.

Probably a good idea to compile against it as well,

[quaint mantle]

I was using 11, have to install 17

[orchid cove]

lmao everyone who know how to make toggle staff chat help me

[frosty tinsel]

Have you heard about booleans?

[chrome beacon]

Spigot doesn't have a page where you can download spigot jars. What you're looking at is unofficial and bad

[kind hatch]

[frosty tinsel]

Yeah xD

Hello, I am developing a plugin for 1.8.8 that can change a player's skin to one from a preset enum of skins. Everything is working fine, but when the skin gets refreshed it applies for like half a second and then turns back normal as how it was before the change... I haven't found anything on spigot or anywhere about this issue... Could someone please help me with this? Thanks.

Here's the code I use to change the skin:

public static void setSkin(Player player, SkinEnum skin){
        String texture = skin.getTexture();
        String signature = skin.getSignature();
        CraftPlayer craftPlayer = (CraftPlayer) player;

        Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().forEach(o -> { ((CraftPlayer)o).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(new PacketPlayOutPlayerInfo(PacketPlayOutPlayerInfo.EnumPlayerInfoAction.REMOVE_PLAYER, ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle())); });

        craftPlayer.getHandle().getProfile().getProperties().removeAll("textures");
        craftPlayer.getHandle().getProfile().getProperties().put("textures", new Property("textures", texture, signature));

        Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().forEach(o -> {((CraftPlayer)o).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(new PacketPlayOutPlayerInfo(PacketPlayOutPlayerInfo.EnumPlayerInfoAction.ADD_PLAYER, ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle()));});

        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(PluginMain.getInstance(), () -> Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().forEach(o -> o.hidePlayer(player)), 0);
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(PluginMain.getInstance(), () -> Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().forEach(o -> o.showPlayer(player)), 15);

        craftPlayer.getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(new PacketPlayOutRespawn(craftPlayer.getHandle().getWorld().worldProvider.getDimension(), craftPlayer.getHandle().getWorld().getDifficulty(), craftPlayer.getHandle().getWorld().getWorldData().getType(), WorldSettings.EnumGamemode.valueOf(craftPlayer.getGameMode().toString())));

        craftPlayer.getHandle().playerConnection.teleport(new Location(player.getWorld(),craftPlayer.getHandle().locX, craftPlayer.getHandle().locY, craftPlayer.getHandle().locZ, craftPlayer.getHandle().yaw, craftPlayer.getHandle().pitch));

        PalermoSkinMap.put(player.getUniqueId(), skin);
    }

NMS is generally unsupported

[frosty tinsel]

Is your server in online or offline mode?

[gleaming breach]

In normal online mode. But I might be using it also on a server with offline mode in future.

[quaint mantle]

same with 1.8

[quaint mantle]

you quoted the wrong msg?

yeah

[gleaming breach]

I don't know, I have nms, server and everything downloaded only for 1.8.8 :F

[frosty tinsel]

Is there a reason, why you use 1.8? Instead of 1.18?

[quasi flint]

or like 1.13+

[frosty tinsel]

Yeah

[quasi flint]

pvp doesnt count

there are plugins for that

[frosty tinsel]

It does

[gleaming breach]

I just need to make it 1.8. It is not really my option. Thats why I need your help :P I've already made this on 1.18 before and worked. Only here it doesnt work.

[gleaming breach]

The server is pvp-aimed and isnt mine, I just dev stuff.

[quasi flint]

oldpvpmechanics plugin

good one 😄

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/oldcombatmechanics-disable-1-9-hit-cooldown.19510/

[gleaming breach]

I mentioned earlier that I need to have the plugin for 1.8... I am just trying to make the plugin work thats all I need from you guys. :P

[quasi flint]

well i wont help long dead versions

so good luck

[gleaming breach]

It worked for alot of people before so I can make it work too.

[quaint mantle]

although you are on your own

[frosty tinsel]

Try to remove Bukkit hide

And show

Or just try to do just the skin part

Independently

[gleaming breach]

I have commented ( // ) everything else, now im gonna try it :P

[frosty tinsel]

Alright

[gleaming breach]

If I rejoin the server with the account... the skin changes back too.. it does the same thing. I can show you a footage of how it looks

This is how it looks when I try it (doesnt matter if I hide the player or show or anything else) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQKsPQY8k-g

[frosty tinsel]

[fierce quail]

I have a Java Library, thats basically a jar with static public useful functions on my local drive, how can i import that using maven? And yes, i googled a lot and those stupid forums dont help, caus ewhenever someone got it right, they didnt thought it would be cool to share their solution

[eternal oxide]

does your jar have its own pom to build it?

[fierce quail]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/creating-external-libraries/

[fierce quail]

Its a standard plugin, like ^. I thought it would be "easy" to make your plugininto a library, but ...

[eternal oxide]

does it have a pom to build it?

[fierce quail]

It has a pom.xml, yes, both have one

Becasue thats what plugins have and i wanna mention bukkit code in my lib

[eternal oxide]

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DpomFile=file:///path/to/yourproject/repo/pom -Dfile=mylib-1.0.jar

however, if it has its own pom you could just run install

[fierce quail]

So thats for the pom.xml? Doesnt the pom.xml only contain additional packages for the source code? I hate Java... Anyways, thanks ill try that

[eternal oxide]

your pom contains all teh info needed to build your plugin

you usually run clean package

if you run install it will add it to yoru local maven repo

[fierce quail]

Ty

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DpomFile=file:///C:/.../IdeaProjects/SulfuriumLib/pom.xml -Dfile=file:///C:/.../IdeaProjects/SulfuriumLib/target/SulfuriumLib-1.0.jar

just throws an error The parameters 'url' for goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.7:deploy-file are missing or invalid

[eternal oxide]

you only want teh actual jar name for the Dfile

whats with all teh ///

[fierce quail]

Thats the usage of using a file

[fierce quail]

So whats DFile? The builded file?

[eternal oxide]

yes

-Dfile=yourPlugin.jar

[fierce quail]

I need to add the url param according to the error and the maven docs

[iron vector]

Soo... the guy with the backward Compatibility questions is back xD
When running my Plugin, I get (via Reflection since the API changed a while back) the PlayerList (getServer().getOnlinePlayers()).
The Problem is, that earlier versions returned an Array, while the recent versions return a Collection of Players.
Now I tried to convert the Player Collection to an Array, but I can't cast the Array returned by java.util.Collection.toArray() (the instance method) to org.bukkit.Player, bc the Runtime Type is org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_18_R1.entity.CraftPlayer.
But I don't know how that is possible, since its a Collection<org.bukkit.entity.Player>, so those two have to be related to each other.
Any Idea how I could convert a [Lorg.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_18_R1.entity.CraftPlayer to [Lorg.bukkti.entity.Player?

[eternal oxide]

teh repo should be local

[fierce quail]

Whats even a repo? I HATE MAVEN ALL THIS BULLS* MAN I JUST WANT MY F * JAR TO BE ACCESSED IN MY F* PLUGIN WHO EVVEN WROTE THAT S* THAT THERE IS NO PROPER WAY OF DOING THIS FOR IDOTS LIKE ME

[chrome beacon]

Sounds like you need a break to calm down

[fierce quail]

I tried this S* for two days straight

[chrome beacon]

All you need to do in run mvn install in the first project. Then in the second project put info from first project as a dependency

[iron vector]

I have no idea what you are actually trying to do but im guessing you want to add a jar as dependency.```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.bukkit</groupId>
<artifactId>spigot</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>/path/to/jarFile</systemPath>
</dependency>

[chrome beacon]

Don't use this

[iron vector]

Maven might not like it, but for now that works

[chrome beacon]

Use what Elgar said instead of that

[fierce quail]

Yes, i need a repo. There i need complicated S* like nexus or so, that brings me back to the beginning

[chrome beacon]

You don't need a repo for local projects

Maven will use the local repo on your system. No need to add one to project pom

[eternal oxide]

your local repo would be (probably) c:\Users\%USER%\.m2

[fierce quail]

Im a bit stupid, how would the exact command look like? with my normal IntelliJ project?

[chrome beacon]

mvn install

[eternal oxide]

^

[fierce quail]

Ty

It worked

Nice

[ivory sleet]

May I ask what version you were on?

Because it hasn’t been an array for a very long time

[fierce quail]

@chrome beacon and @eternal oxide You helped me such much, thanks! 🏅 <-- Medal

[ivory sleet]

Equally important, it’s a Collection<? extends Player> (type parameter is not just Player) which makes it a bit complicated.

[iron vector]

Get org.bukkit.entity.Player Array from the Player Collection

[mortal hare]

Does Entity implementation object after death goes stale?

for example i spawn an entity

[ivory sleet]

It varies

[mortal hare]

with #World.spawnEntity()

does it get stale after death

or is it safe to store this

[ivory sleet]

But most entities can be considered "stale" post death

However this is not the case for Player implementation

[mortal hare]

I thought like this too, it wouldnt make sense to create EntityHuman object all over again

[ivory sleet]

So yes to answer your question, it’s probably unwise to store it after its death

[proud basin]

Is it possible to inject renderScoreboard to modify RED?

[ivory sleet]

yup

[late sonnet]

modify RED?

[proud basin]

Yea

[late sonnet]

not sure what are you talking xd

[slim cairn]

How would I force people to be put into adventure mode if they arent? Basically an IF statement if a player is in a different gamemode then adventure

blablabla

if (IsGamemode) != Adventure
{
  Player.Gamemode set minecraft:gamemode.Adventure
}
else
{
  return null;
}

Something like that

[ivory sleet]

well in principle you could just set their gamemode to be adventure whenever it changes

[mortal hare]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerGameModeChangeEvent.html

[late sonnet]

or use the forcegamemode in server properties

[slim cairn]

Yes, however thatt doesnt work for some reason

[proud basin]

RED is the numbers beside the scoreboard

[slim cairn]

• It puts me into adventure every single time I join, i'm trying to make it so that when you have a certain permission it doesnt affect you

[mortal hare]

these are named Objective values for me

[late sonnet]

ahhh this.. i think this is client-side not sure if texturepack or custom client can modify this

[mortal hare]

Objective values can be changed, but not their appearance (chat formatting wouldnt work)

[slim cairn]

I have no idea how to set up permissions like this though, is there a doc on it

?

[grim ice]

just

if(player.hasPermission("urpermission"){
// do stuff
}

[late sonnet]

ok this is different for the pseudo code you post... you can check when player join.. check permission and set the gamemode... you need check https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/index.html?overview-summary.html for the player methods

[grim ice]

lol

[slim cairn]

I know, that code was an example of a way I thought about so it would show you what I meant you know?

[slim cairn]

btw im on 1.17.1 not 1.18. I dont know if that changes anything in this case

[late sonnet]

for what you need 1.18 not make any changes in what you need...

[slim cairn]

Sorry, I think we're having a missunderstanding

[late sonnet]

for check permission you have Player#hasPermission(String) and then you can set the adventure mode if the player not has X permission...
for when you can make this.. you can listener the join player https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerJoinEvent.html

[visual tide]

is the spigot repo down? im getting a DependencyResolutionException

loading for me

[visual tide]

gah

when i doubt, run buildtools again

[ivory sleet]

Tried invalidating caches?

[visual tide]

ima try that

[ivory sleet]

Yuh, it usually solves some issues I experienced with gradle from time to time at least

[visual tide]

iNdEXiNg

index faster

still the same error 😐

[slim cairn]

I understood that permission part. How would I create the permission ?
Would simply
Player#hasPermission(ringitem.excludegamemode) Create the permission itself?

[visual tide]

as string

[late sonnet]

not.. i mean not sure how you want add the permission.. for example you want if the player HAS special item for bypass the adventuremode then more than permission you can check if the player has the item... based in your comment

[ivory sleet]

Hmm lvj is your project on GitHub or something? I guess I could try cloning it and see if I get the same issue

[late sonnet]

make a ACTION in github for test if they can build xd

[visual tide]

its a commission and i dont want to get into trouble so idk if that's possible but thanks for the offer

[slim cairn]

...what? I mean like like how for example worldedit handles it worldedit.wand. A permission like that

[late sonnet]

yeah but how you add that permission to player? you are using a plugin for this like LuckPerms?

[ivory sleet]

Ah alr nw

[slim cairn]

Yes I am.

[visual tide]

ima check if i can build another project

andd that worked

bruh

might actually run bt again

[late sonnet]

ok if you use luckperms then you can use the method Player#hasPermission("customperms.canByPassAdventure") you can edit this permission in LuckPerms (user/group)

[slim cairn]

I know. Thank you 🙂

[old pendant]

Hey, look like spigotmc software are having zero day exploit: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/LOG4J2/issues/LOG4J2-3201

[wide solstice]

Hey guys I'm developing a core plugin and I have a few questions about spigot and bungee working together. Please don't be harsh it's my first time ever using bungee. My project structure is as follows:

core-api - Contains API for external plugins to interact with
core-common - Contains common code between the different implementation modules
core-bukkit - Bukkit implementation of common/api
core-bungee - Bungee stuff? Not sure what this will have in it yet...
core-distribution - Just a pom file, shades everything together

1. Right now my setup is to shade everything into an uber jar file, is this common practice? Or do you guys normally create separate jars for each platform?
2. When would I ever register a command through bungeecord, rather than bukkit?
3. What would be the best way to share context between the bungee module and the implementation modules? I've seen the plugin messaging platform and redis used, just wondering which you guys recommend.

Thanks

[old pendant]

It could cause remote code execution exploit

[onyx shale]

well mostly plugins are the only real way of using it

and they already have full control pretty much

[slim cairn]

Apparently # is an illegal character

[late sonnet]

its .
i use # for what i make in docs xd

[quaint mantle]

1. fine, but i'd make 2 separate jars to make it less fat
2. idk, denends on context?
3. abstract out stuff and have implementations for spigot and bungee

[slim cairn]

ah

[chrome beacon]

1. I've seen both been done. It's up to you.

2. Bukkit commands can only be registered in server not bungee

3. You can use redis but for smaller things the plugin messaging channel works

[slim cairn]

Also I get this Cannot resolve method 'hasPermission' in 'RingItem' However, when I create it. Nothing happens

[chrome beacon]

What's the code in the method when you create it

[wide solstice]

Alright, thanks guys

[slim cairn]

Nothing

Im just using the quick fix from IntellIJ since I have no idea how to work with Java for the most things hehe

[chrome beacon]

Well ofc it's going to do nothing then ;/

?learnjava Time for this

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

[grim ice]

why does ur method have 1

[chrome beacon]

As for the issue use hasPermission on an object that can have one

[slim cairn]

I dont want to learn the entirety of Java. I'm just trying to make a force gamemode thingy ;-;

[chrome beacon]

...

Learn it

[grim ice]

@slim cairn so you dont want to be a developer?

[slim cairn]

Woudlnt that be the player?

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

[slim cairn]

Not necessarily, no.

[grim ice]

so you want to?

[slim cairn]

What

I dont want to so I want to?

[grim ice]

okay so

do I code it for you?

[slim cairn]

If you wanted to, but you dont have to since you're not spoonfeeding me.

[grim ice]

it wouldnt take more than 5 minutes lol

[slim cairn]

Again, its your choice

[grim ice]

alr

imma do it cuz im bored

why does ur method name end with 1

[slim cairn]

Im just making a server for me and my friends and I'm trying to force them into adventure, thats litterally all 🙂

[iron vector]

Minecraft 1.18 added the minecraft option Online > Allow Server Listings <On/Off>. This seems like a privacy thing. What does that mean exactly and should Plugin Devs respect that option?

[grim ice]

what version

[slim cairn]

1.17.1

[grim ice]

paper or spigot

just wondering

[slim cairn]

Spig

[grim ice]

make it paper

[iron vector]

If your minecraft version is remotely recent, you can use minecraft config files for that

[grim ice]

why do u not use paper lol

its better

[slim cairn]

Like stated before, that doesnt work ;-;

[slim cairn]

Not in my opinion. I prefer working with Spigot. I also already have a code around it so I'm just trying to make this thing fit into it

[grim ice]

spigot plugins work in paper

paper plugins dont work in spigot

[late sonnet]

only affect in the ping info...

i make the PR for adapt this in CB... when the players are listing in ping info if the user has this on then in ping info show a "anon user"
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/server/ServerListPingEvent.html

[slim cairn]

I already have a lot of other plugins okay, I'm not trying to change everythint right now in the heat of the moment

[iron vector]

Server.properties: gamemode=adventure force-gamemode=true
doesnt work? Maybe you changed the gamerule for that?

[grim ice]

im talking about making ur server paper, it will be able to understand both spigot and paper plugins

[slim cairn]

Legit what I did

[grim ice]

oh okay

[grim ice]

that wouldnt ask for permissions

i think

[ivory sleet]

2Hex no need to glorify paper here

[slim cairn]

No thanks, I prefer keeping my server on Spigot if that isnt A problem.

[grim ice]

not doing that

sorry if u cant notice "imo" in the conversation

[ivory sleet]

.

Anyways I’m not going to argue over it.

[grim ice]

anyways @slim cairn it doesnt matter

do you want the permission to be fixed?

[slim cairn]

Well, yes?

[grim ice]

ok

what should it be?

[slim cairn]

ringitem.excludegamemode if the player doesnt have this and they arent in survival they will be put into adventure

[iron vector]

So you would only behave differently, if you for example added Playernames to the MOTD? Basically one would sanitize the Player from every List one can get without joining?

[slim cairn]

reason its ringitem is because thats my overall plugin name

Basically I'm trying to combine it with a different plugin ya know

[grim ice]

what if they have ringitem.excludegamemode but are not in survival

[late sonnet]

in teory, this configs are only for the PING info.. this not affect other things like scoreboards/chats if you wanna see most specific how work this you can check the commit where this is added in craftbukkit https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/craftbukkit/commits/3b214b5a2163630a6d0413a4629310a66ab52dba

[slim cairn]

then it forces them into adventure mode

wait no

If they have the permission it simply doesnt do anything

[grim ice]

cool

ill dm u the plugin

u can decompile it if u want

thats literally 90% of the code lol

  @EventHandler
    public void onModeChange(PlayerGameModeChangeEvent event) {

        if (event.getPlayer().hasPermission("ringitem.excludegamemode")) return;
        event.getPlayer().setGameMode(GameMode.ADVENTURE);

    }```

Solved, if you have a problem you can say it here

[slim cairn]

Not necessarily an issue, however it does state Method 'onModeChange(org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerGameModeChangeEvent)' is never used

Just ignore it?

[late sonnet]

yeah

[grim ice]

what

you have a problem

[grim ice]

No

it shouldnt say that

[hybrid spoke]

yes, ignore it.

[grim ice]

cipher wtf

it means u dont have @EventHandler probably
