For*

[fair sand]

I'm looking it up

Thx ^^

[mighty sparrow]

Np

[fair sand]

I can't send screenshot of the error can i show you mp ?

[fossil mural]

Im writing a minecraft parkour plugin. With the help of a command I can set the checkpoints location earlier. But when i'm checking if the player is at the location i need to have the variable from the commands class to the eventhandler. How do I do that?

[mighty sparrow]

Im going to sleep mb

[fair sand]

Ok good night

[mighty sparrow]

Thx

[waxen plinth]

What variable

[fossil mural]

A location varible

[waxen plinth]

How are you storing checkpoint locations

[waxen plinth]

Jesus

Why would you call getRelative(BlockFace.SELF)

And why are you getting all those values from the location just to construct an identical one

Just get their location

And those variables will be deleted as soon as the command is finished being run

[waxen plinth]

I think you need to learn Java basics before attempting to write something like this

[fossil mural]

okey

[quaint mantle]

wow that code LOL

i cant imagine something uglier than that lul

[ivory sleet]

Don’t be mean guys

[tired dagger]

^

Everyone starts somewhere

[rough basin]

Is it possible to create an event that is triggered when there is an entity inside the BoundingBox?

[quaint mantle]

why not

just dunno how 🤔

[rough basin]

me too lmao

[earnest tulip]

how would I go about making a player swim faster, other than obviously checking for the player swimming

[tired dagger]

I assume you'd do something with collisions. There may or may not be an event for that but I don't think it would be that hard to create

[earnest tulip]

ik that itll have to do with setVelocity but not sure how to apply it

[tired dagger]

Wdym?

[earnest tulip]

yeah that didnt make sense, did it lol
ive tried getting the player's velocity and setting a new velocity to that, but obviously that will cause issues, and i tried getDirection but it was way too fast

i hope that explains it better

[tired dagger]

Hmm? What exactly do you mean when you say setting the velocity will cause issues?

[earnest tulip]

so i did something like player.setVelocity(player.getVelocity().multiply(1.5)), but that results in a recursive increase in speed, which launches me across the world lol

[tired dagger]

Ohh, haha

[earnest tulip]

idk man i just want to swim faster 🥲

150% speed is all i need

[tired dagger]

Guessing bc the event calls each time the player is detected for being in the water so it repeatedly calls your method.

[waxen plinth]

Why not just give them dolphin's grace

[earnest tulip]

heelllll no

[waxen plinth]

Or depth strider boots

[earnest tulip]

i hate dolphjins grace

(sorry)

[waxen plinth]

.-.

[earnest tulip]

it does this weird slippery sht

[waxen plinth]

Ok well those are how you can modify the swim speed

Depth strider then

[earnest tulip]

...sure with vanilla

[tired dagger]

Mmm, I suppose you could keep using your swim event but use a var to see if you've run it and set a cool-down if so

[earnest tulip]

i was thinking of using an armorstand and teleporting the player to it instead but that would be janky

[earnest tulip]

idk how well this would work

[waxen plinth]

You could just cap the velocity

[earnest tulip]

thats a fair point

[tired dagger]

That would work too

[waxen plinth]

Though they would still get propelled endlessly once they started moving

[earnest tulip]

yuea

the issue is that i want the player to have their velocity set in the direction they are swiming

[waxen plinth]

Okay

[tired dagger]

What about speed effects? Do those work in the water?

[earnest tulip]

nah

unfortunately

[primal ledge]

Need help deciding. I have an extension classes for Spigot's file API which contain functional equivalent of the getters (return an Optional). What do you think the methods should be called like?

public double getDouble(String route); // Main method
public Optional<Double> ?(String route) // Functional equivalent

The name could be getOptDouble, getOptionalDouble, getDoubleOpt, getDoubleOptional... or something else. Could you help me decide what's the best? Thx :))

[earnest tulip]

🤔

[waxen plinth]

Isn't there an OptionalDouble class

[primal ledge]

Assuming there are about 25 of those methods even for custom types, that isn't an option :((

[waxen plinth]

Huh

How not

Like, instead of Optional<Double>

There's OptionalDouble

[lethal island]

can someone pls link me something on updating plugins to 1.18

[waxen plinth]

Why

[primal ledge]

Yes, but there are also custom getters, where class like this doesn't exist. Therefore, I just sticked with Optional.

[waxen plinth]

Plugins should work on 1.18 without any changes unless they're doing something funky

[primal ledge]

And I think using the same class for everything would be better :))

e.g. Optional

[waxen plinth]

Ok well getDoubleOpt is what I would do

[primal ledge]

Thx ❤️

[lethal island]

i swapped out the spigot jar and all of the imports broke

[primal ledge]

any other opinons?

[lethal island]

i probably did something wrong dw

[chrome beacon]

I recommend using Maven instead of directly importing jars

[lethal island]

ok thank u i will look into that

[chrome beacon]

Directly importing the 1.18 jar won't work very well

[opal juniper]

it will “work”™️

[waxen plinth]

Gradle

[opal juniper]

argh

redempt stop being a shill smh

[waxen plinth]

What

Gradle is good

Any build system is better than none though

[chrome beacon]

Not really the 1.18 is a bootstrap jar

[opal juniper]

true dat

i haven’t had time to look inside it tho

so i’m not familiar with the format

[tired dagger]

@earnest tulip I think ```html
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Entity.html#isInWater()
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerVelocityEvent.html#setVelocity(org.bukkit.util.Vector)

[chrome beacon]

It's 4 classes and a bunch of jars

[opal juniper]

wait

[faint vapor]

anyone tell me wtf im doing wrong here, trying to grab the spigot.yml but comes back empty https://paste.gg/p/anonymous/77b63947af9d45d391941ea0368825af

[opal juniper]

it packages actual jars? thought normally they just included teh classes

seems weird

[earnest tulip]

thanks man i appreciate you taking the time

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

It's jars this time

[tired dagger]

You're welcome!

[waxen plinth]

Check that the absolute path is pointing where you expect

[faint vapor]

it is, or should be since the spigot yml is in the same folder as the server.jar

never mind Bukkit.spigot.getconf, it didnt really pop up in any of my google searches

[primal ledge]

Do you think that if I name a class Path in a widely used API, it would be a problem to differentiate it from already built-in Java class Path (NIO package)? Path will be used for the same purpose as string paths in Spigot configuration API. Should I use other name, so it isn't confusing - e.g. Route?

[hybrid spoke]

i would name it ConfigurationPath or whatever

[primal ledge]

isn't it too long? ConfigPath is too I would say

[hybrid spoke]

too long for what?

[primal ledge]

I mean, assuming the class would be used often by devs, wouldn't it make the code much longer than needed?

[quaint mantle]

nah it shouldnt be a problem with me, who do every code on one line

[primal ledge]

That's why I thought about Route at first

[quaint mantle]

public void setMessage(String message) { this.getConnection.getPlayer.getStates.changeMessage(message); his.getConnection.getPlayer.getStates.updateMessages(); }

[hybrid spoke]

too long would be something like SpigotFileConfigurationConfigurationSectionPath since you could split it down and it would have the same meaning

[karmic mural]

Passing my main class to a class with an eventhandler... can I just have a constructor in that class with the eventhandler?

Basically I have a class with an eventhandler and I want to access my config from it

ignore the image I sent it was not meant for this chat.

[tardy delta]

if a create a variable in the constructor to use as paramater in lambda, when is it gc'ed?

[primal ledge]

understand, though configurationpath might not be the most descriptive. What do you think, would clashing with Path from Java be a problem?

[primal ledge]

for those who want to give their own opinion

[ivory sleet]

Yuh the name might be confusing

Might wanna call it DestinationPath or smtng

[primal ledge]

Route is not that descriptive when representing path isn't it

[ivory sleet]

Depends, I mean it sounds pretty high level

[primal ledge]

Well, Spigot uses string keys. Per YAML spec, any object is allowed as key, which I would like to make accessible for devs. So I need a class that will carry an array containing the individual keys (instances of Object). That's what I need it for :)) Does "Route" sound good for this job now?

bcs I really like it but I don't know if it's good and need other opinions yk :))

[ivory sleet]

Yeah I know yaml specs is kinda baboony

[primal ledge]

yeah... but on the other hand Spigot API supports strings only to allow "unification" with JSON through configuration interfaces and stuff

so I think it would be great to make an extension for that

[ivory sleet]

Yeah, but I mean spigot and any other stuff really has to narrow down the amount of yaml specs you’d support

Because yaml specs is just too diverse

[primal ledge]

Couldn't agree more. I will use YAML 1.2 which allows safe JSON parsing... decided it's the best

[ivory sleet]

Yeah, the worst part is probably the whole anything can be a key and comments are not node attached

[primal ledge]

Agree. I'm only going to support it bcs not a lot of work is needed and might help someone who needs it... Regarding the comments, thats what my lib is going to solve (not only that); comments will be supported everywhere.

and actually are, just finishing documentation :))

[ivory sleet]

Yuh

Anywaya regarding Route, I think that’ll do fine

[primal ledge]

Thank you ❤️

[ivory sleet]

With the presumption that it’s put into the according package

[primal ledge]

sure it is! :))

also, would like to ask you one thing

[ivory sleet]

Sure, ask away

[rotund pond]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[primal ledge]

would you be interested in being part of the project in form of reviewing the beta documentation when it's ready?

[ivory sleet]

Yeah, why not (:

[primal ledge]

Sent you a friend request :))

[ivory sleet]

🙌

[lavish hemlock]

tip:

Just don't use YAML, ever.

TOML ftw.

[chrome beacon]

I like yaml more

Do miss comments though

[regal dew]

yaml has comments

[primal ledge]

YAML has comments, but mostly no one implements them

[regal dew]

its just that, the only library used in spigot is snek yaml

which does not support it

[chrome beacon]

Comments don't get saved in the yaml spec

[primal ledge]

that's why I made my own lib, which will support them everywhere :)) available soon

[ivory sleet]

Not true

Newer versions of snake yaml support it

However the specs say that the comments are not bound to any particular node as they’re mainly there to explain/clarify the structure (or other things)

[wild marten]

so im tryna build (with buildtools) a 1.18 jar, how do i select my java 17 JDK cuz it defaults to using java 8

[chrome beacon]

What OS are you using

Windows?

[wild marten]

windows 10

[summer scroll]

"(java17 installation folder)\java.exe" -jar BuildTools.jar --rev 1.18

[wild marten]

thanks

[karmic mural]

What's the best way to check if blocks are naturally generated when a player breaks them?

Is there an easy way to do it or would I actually have to store player-placed blocks or something like that? (I want to track ores specifically)

[young knoll]

Yes you would have to store them

[karmic mural]

Is there an existing plugin you know of that makes this easier for me? 😅

[young knoll]

Not that I know of

[karmic mural]

Would you happen to know how much strain it would put on a server to do this? I'd assume I would have to use BlockPlaceEvent, then check if it's an oreblock, and if that condition is met add the block to a map/collection?

[young knoll]

Yes

You can just add the location

How do I fix this?

[quaint mantle]

Use sync not async

[rigid hazel]

I can't. It is not my code, which uses the Async task

[candid galleon]

bug the mythic mobs developer

[rigid hazel]

No. I coded it myself

[quaint mantle]

Bruh? LMAO

[rigid hazel]

This is just my code

[candid galleon]

It is not my code

I coded it myself

fucking big brain we got in here

[quaint mantle]

Ahahha

[young knoll]

Call it sync

[rigid hazel]

Then how do I do it?

[rigid hazel]

So:

[candid galleon]

^

[ivory sleet]

No async

[candid galleon]

Asynchronous getNearbyEntities!!!

[ivory sleet]

Basically

?scheduling

[undone axle]

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

[rigid hazel]

https://pastebin.com/d4tKeSB8

This is my code

But the method I call there from MythicMobs is async

[candid galleon]

odd that Mythicmobs runs it async

[rigid hazel]

How do I avoid that?

[candid galleon]

you can't without a lot of work

[rigid hazel]

Yeah!

[ivory sleet]

BukkitScheduler::runTask

[candid galleon]

you could make it run sync next tick

[rigid hazel]

Exactly

[rigid hazel]

Thanks

I will try

[ivory sleet]

Best of luck

[rigid hazel]

Ok. It fixed the error. Thanks.

[gloomy spoke]

Hey, I just followed a tutorial, and I'm a little confused. Where do I access all the items from in the API?

if(player.getInventory().getItemInOffHand().isSimilar()){
I have this thing, and I just dont know where to pull the items for the isSimilar() for

I tried Material, but pretty sure that's blocks..

[candid galleon]

Material works for items as well

[gloomy spoke]

'cause i cant find the shield

oh

nevermind, somehow worked this time

[candid galleon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/Material.html#SHIELD

[gloomy spoke]

sorry, and thank you

[candid galleon]

👍 np

[gloomy spoke]

wait how do i get the itemstack out of the material?

[candid galleon]

swap it

you can get the material out of the itemstack

ItemStack#getType

[gloomy spoke]

wait what

for the isSimilar() i need ItemStack

[candid galleon]

that method compares two item stacks

if you just want to check if an item is a specific material (ie shield) you can do item.getType() == Material.SHIELD

[gloomy spoke]

ohhhh

Seems to be working, thank you very much

[candid galleon]

👍

[gloomy spoke]

So far, this API seems to be very clean though, I love it!

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/shield-delay-effectiveness.214370/
Damn, I'm trying to remove the shield delay following one of the replies on this thread, but has player.setBlocking been removed sometime since 1.9?

[quaint mantle]

setCooldown? You mean delay after Axe hit?

[gloomy spoke]

No, I mean the 5 tick delay after right clicking with a shield out before it actually blocks

[quaint mantle]

i always thought it was instant

[gloomy spoke]

:^)

I started really feeling it on hard difficulty against skeletons

the added server delay just made it 2x worse

[candid galleon]

You'd probably have to look at the packets

[gloomy spoke]

What's that?

[candid galleon]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/how-to-force-a-player-to-block-with-a-shield.463384/#post-3947290

Basically you'd want to use ProtocolLib and listen to the packets being sent from the client

no guarantee that would work

[gloomy spoke]

Christ

[candid galleon]

yeah

[gloomy spoke]

maybe i could make the player manually deflect arrows for 5 ticks after they start blocking?

[rough basin]

How to remove snowball that snowman shoot?
I just found ProjectileLaunchEvent to Trigger this working, but I have no idea what should i do next :(

[candid galleon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/entity/ProjectileLaunchEvent.html

look at the javadocs for that event and see if there's a way to fetch the entity

Entities have a remove method

[rough basin]

if i use getEntity Method, What should i get for return?
I have no idea it is Snowman or Snowball

[candid galleon]

well the event is called ProjectileLaunchEvent

[rough basin]

hmm

[candid galleon]

getEntity returns the projectile

if you wanted to get the thrower / shooter you'd have to cast it to a projectile

[rough basin]

Forgive my poor english :d
javadoc always makes me confusing like this

[gloomy spoke]

Or just delete them ig

[rough basin]

Thanks for your answer :D

[gloomy spoke]

Could I try to find player's EntityDamageEvents and then interrupt them for a few ticks?

[candid galleon]

http://tryitands.ee

[gloomy spoke]

Okay that's fair

[rough basin]

I hope it is legit

[candid galleon]

you don't want to create a new itemstack just to check materials

[hybrid spoke]

not even close

[rough basin]

🤦

[quaint mantle]

?learnjava just in case, ya know, it still impress me everyday even tho i read it for like more than 10 times lol

[undone axle]

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

[quaint mantle]

nohow

[candid galleon]

i mean

you could query the mojang API whenever a player joins

as long as you cache the results and don't have that many players joining could work in theory

[quaint mantle]

Fr tho

[candid galleon]

every time on join you'd have to check if it was cached

invalidating/updating a cache would be trivial

but yes, you would still have to query the API if you didn't have it cached

[gloomy spoke]

ok god damn it's working

i cant believe i managed it first try

just gotta make the shield take damage now

[candid galleon]

🎊

good job

[rough basin]

hmm

seems more nice?

[candid galleon]

you can do item.getType() == Material.VILLAGER_SPAWN_EGG

the code you have wouldn't work, as a Material cannot Equal an ItemStack

[gloomy spoke]

Is there some sort of event that i could call for an item taking durability damage? i dont want to have to calculate Unbreaking enchantments in my own code...

[rough basin]

damn

[candid galleon]

looks like unbreaking is a simple 1 / (level + 1) check

I don't think Spigot has the functionality you're looking for, it wouldn't be that difficult to implement it yourself

[smoky finch]

How do I check if any painting is attached to any side of a block? I'm currently using getNearbyEntities but the problem is that you can't know how the painting is positioned (depending on the size of the painting) to see if a particular block is one of the blocks that's holding the painting.

My final goal was to just prevent a painting from falling without block support, but I don't think that's possible so I'm looking for a way to not remove blocks that are supporting a hanging entity.

[candid galleon]

I think blockphysicsevent might be what updates paintings

If not, you can get the direction that a painting is facing with https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/material/Directional.html#getFacing()

[tender shard]

A Painting implements Directional so you can get the Facing(), then check if there's a block at the OPPOSITE of that facing IIRC

[candid galleon]

and Painting has a getArt (Art) which supports getWidth/Height

[tender shard]

I have a small utility class to get the opposite of a blockface, I don't remember if you actually need it here though: https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/core/src/main/java/de/jeff_media/jefflib/BlockFaceUtils.java

e.g. IIRC, if the painting has a direction of WEST, you'll have to check the block at EAST

[candid galleon]

isn't that built in

https://helpch.at/docs/1.12.2/org/bukkit/block/BlockFace.html#getOppositeFace--

[smoky finch]

Imagine this as the wall (0 = block, x = painting, L = entity position)

00000
0xxx0
0xxL0
00000

Now

00000
0xxx0
0Lxx0
00000

How am I supposed to tell if getWidth is the first case or the second case?

[candid galleon]

trial and error

most likely the painting is at a consistent place

whether that be lowest x / z

[smoky finch]

Is it tho? If not that doesn't make sense

[candid galleon]

try some debugging

it wouldn't make sense, so it would be worth it to try 😉

[tender shard]

Yes. I wasted my time. lol

somehow I didn't find it back when I needed it

or something was wrong with that method. I think it only worked for the default blockfaces, but not for SOUTH_SOUTH_EAST or something? i dont remember

[trail lintel]

Hey guys, a bit of a followup to my question from yesterday. So I have created a custom item, defined a recipe for it, set its meta to be "unique" and put an enchant on it with the "hide enchantments" tag, to make it appear unique. I have also put a value of custom model data on it, so when a player is using the resource pack I have made, they see a custom texture for the item. However, I was wondering if there was a way to have the item appear enchanted if they do NOT have the resource pack, but to make it appear unenchanted if they DO have the resource pack. If they have a custom skin for the item, the enchantment effect seems somewhat redundant (and makes the art harder to see). Thanks in advance for any help =]

[candid galleon]

no

afaik no

[keen lake]

Hi. Has anyone created a plugin with ORM handling the database (preferably Hibernate)?

[candid galleon]

you could customize the enchantment glint in the resource pack to be transparent

[trail lintel]

I figured that was the case =] I will prob just have it always appear enchanted then

[candid galleon]

but then no items would appear enchanted

[trail lintel]

That was my intuition, thanks a bunch =]

@keen lake Samples on the example page. This one is for mysql but same idea.
https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/plugin-snippets/
https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/connecting-to-databases-mysql/

oops tagged wrong guy sorry

[quaint mantle]

Sounds like overkill

[trail lintel]

Ok one other question 😉

So I want to have some configuration options in my config. Two of which are the name of the item, and the message shown when somebody isnt allowed to use it (not permission based, separate logic). In the message, I want people to be able to make references to the name of the item, so they could do something like "You cannot use {itemName} yet.. Is there a convention for string replacements in spigot plugins? What "indicators" are usually used to say this is a string replacement? Somebody might want to put { or } in their message. Hmmmm.

I assume my mod page would list out available "replacement strings" -n = item name, d = item description

[candid galleon]

%'s are pretty popular

%itemName% for example

[trail lintel]

Ohhh yeah thats not a bad idea

[candid galleon]

I personally use native string formatting %s

[trail lintel]

I think that is what I shall do, thanks a lot 😄

my java is a bit rusty haha

So in that case, you use native string formatting, how do you tell it what to replace WITH? what does %s equal? Are you doing this in the context of config files or just in the code

I suspect in my case I will need to define pre-existing possible values, like %n would string replace the name in?

[regal dew]

String#format

%s is a string, %d a number, %f a float etc

[trail lintel]

That I'm familiar with

But like, these aren't arbitrary strings they can replace

[regal dew]

but yeah it depends on order

[trail lintel]

It will specifically be looking for like ItemName in my yaml

[regal dew]

String#format is not idea lfor configurations

something that is nice however is adventure + minimessage

in minimessage you have templates, which you can replace during the parsing

<red><item_name></red> e.g.

[trail lintel]

Ohhhh interesting, looking at their documentation now

yup I was prob overthinking it, this suits my needs just fine 😉

gameModeChangeMessage: 'Sets game mode to %s'
String message = getConfig().getString("gameModeChangeMessage");
String messageFormatted = message.contains("%s") ? String.format(message, gameMode)

(example from stack overflow, not my situation)

What's a good NPC lib without need for installing in plugins folder?

[gloomy spoke]

Can someone explain why it cant find .setDamage? from what i've seen this is the general way to do it

[candid galleon]

setDamage takes a parameter right?

[tender shard]

does someone know whether in spigot.yml, the "world-settings.<worldname>" settings are case sensitive for the world name?

[candid galleon]

what does your IDE say when you hover over the red?

[gloomy spoke]

it cant find it at all

[candid galleon]

one way to find out 👀

[vale ember]

where's ind argument

int*

setDamage(int damage)

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

[gloomy spoke]

still cant find it

i put in a number and it's still red

[visual tide]

why cast

[vale ember]

can you put and send screenshot again?

[vale ember]

what spigot version you're using?

[eternal oxide]

Probably the wrong Damageable import

[gloomy spoke]

Nope, double checked

[gloomy spoke]

uhh hold on

1.18-R0.1

[candid galleon]

what damageable import are you importing?

[gloomy spoke]

bukkit

[candid galleon]

there are multiple

can you show us it?

[vale ember]

org.bukkit.inventory.meta

[gloomy spoke]

import org.bukkit.entity.Damageable;

oh

[vale ember]

org.bukkit.inventory.meta.Damageable

[gloomy spoke]

ohhh

ohhhh

shit

[tender shard]

someone has an idea for a better version of this? I need to get the "world-settings.<worldname>.hopper-amount" for all worlds, but since I need to do it in every InventoryMoveItemEvent, maybe there's a better / faster version?

    private final HashMap<String,Integer> maxHopperMoveAmounts = new HashMap<>();
    private final int maxHopperMoveAmountDefault;

    {
        maxHopperMoveAmountDefault = Bukkit.spigot().getConfig().getInt("world-settings.default.hopper-amount",1);
        if(Bukkit.spigot().getConfig().isConfigurationSection("world-settings")) {
            for (String worldname : Bukkit.spigot().getConfig().getConfigurationSection("world-settings").getKeys(false)) {
                maxHopperMoveAmounts.put(worldname, Bukkit.spigot().getConfig().getInt("world-settings." + worldname + ".hopper-amount", maxHopperMoveAmountDefault));
            }
        }
    }
    
    // This gets called once in EVERY InventoryMoveItemEvent    
    private int getHopperMoveAmount(String worldName) {
        return maxHopperMoveAmounts.getOrDefault(worldName,maxHopperMoveAmountDefault);
    }

[gloomy spoke]

this one's on me, sorry for the fuss xdd

[vale ember]

that's really shit, couldn't bukkit developers add some prefix like MetaDamagable or ItemDamageable?

[eternal oxide]

there is, its in the import package

[candid galleon]

you're free to contribute that

[gloomy spoke]

massive thanks though

[vale ember]

but it's confusing, you can easily misimport it or if you use both you will end up with long, less-readable statement like "((org.bukkit.inventory.meta.Damageable) damageable).setDamage(10)" instead of "((MetaDamageable) damageable).setDamage(10)"

[eternal oxide]

true

[tender shard]

yeah or you just check what you're importing. After all you could easily import the wrong Listener class, etc, but we don't call it "BukkitListener" because of that too

this is one of those problems that occur once, and then you will always remember it and it'll never happen again lol

[vale ember]

and we still have "BukkitRunnable" instead of "Runnable"

[ivory sleet]

It’s weird they didn’t name it to smtng like Durable instead of Damageable

[ivory sleet]

That’s just due to the name of Runnable

[vale ember]

i know, that what i said, they named it so to not confuse with other things

[tender shard]

yeah that would make more sense IMHO

[sacred ice]

Hey, how do I send packet in 1.18 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void net.minecraft.server.network.PlayerConnection.sendPacket(net.minecraft.network.protocol.Packet)', Thanks

I get this error

[late sonnet]

For what do you need send packets?

[sacred ice]

For something not include in the API

[late sonnet]

The handle in craftplayer has a method for sendpackey or send not sure the name

Then only need create the class for the packet... Works same since... Not sure

[visual tide]

org.bukkit.block.Dispenser & org.bukkit.block.data.type.Dispenser
would like to know your location

[sacred ice]

I have ((org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_18_R1.entity.CraftPlayer)player).getHandle().b.sendPacket(packet));

[candid galleon]

hot take

packets aren't supported by spigot

[sacred ice]

it works with packets

[candid galleon]

and you know that because it works?

[sacred ice]

no because i have the jar and I can see through

inside i mean

[candid galleon]

so are you trying to copy a plugin?

[visual tide]

that is indeed how you send packets
but use remapped nms
the pain of looking everything up is not worth it

[sacred ice]

The spigot jar

[vale ember]

what npc lib/plugin i can safely shade in my plugin?

which supports 1.14.4+

[sacred ice]

I will see and will tell you what i found++

ty

[visual tide]

does it have to be shaded?
pretty sure citizens is your best bet but iirc thats just a plugin api

[ivory sleet]

technically

[vale ember]

i mean i don't want to depend

on plugin

[visual tide]

yes shade the whole plugin

[ivory sleet]

shade, relocate and just invoke its onEnable and onDisable

[visual tide]

...

[vale ember]

won't that be heavy?

[ivory sleet]

heavy as?

[vale ember]

i need simple npcs

just standing

[ivory sleet]

I mean your jar will certainly become fat

[vale ember]

with right click listener

and custom skins

[visual tide]

or do it yourself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzGdnV12ypY

[vale ember]

yeah, i know that option, i was asking about already implemented variants

simple npcs + no need to depend + 1.14.4+

[cinder timber]

developing a fully pvp-based server, it won't have high specs so should i use 1.8.8 jar or just latest

[ivory sleet]

I mean I always encourage newer versions

but since certain people tend to play 1.8 still, Ig?

altho you'll have to live with outdated api, possible memory leaks and vulnerabilities

[golden turret]

is there a way to get all available EntityTypes that can get from the creative tab?

[trail lintel]

Ok.... one more question about custom items lol. To check if a given item is mine in the right click event, I am comparing the metas. However, now if I change the meta like the name of the item or something in an update and restart the server, my event.getItem().getItemMeta().equals(item.getItemMeta()) will no longer match and the old item wont be treated the same anymore. Is there a way to just set like a custom tag on an item, so that I can keep that the same between version changes and do checks on that instead of the whole meta object?

[golden turret]

Get all materials that contain monster egg then strip the names?

[golden turret]

oh yes the material

[trail lintel]

awesome, this is exactly what I needed =]

[robust forge]

How can I get all entities in a chunk when loading it? I tried to use

    public void load(ChunkLoadEvent e) {
        Bukkit.getLogger().info("Chunk loaded");
        for(Entity entity : e.getChunk().getEntities()) {
            Bukkit.getLogger().info("Entity Found");
        }
    }```

[golden turret]

what it says

[robust forge]

Only Chunk Loaded

Doesnt give me the Entity Found

[golden turret]

wait a tick

[quaint mantle]

Sorry for cross-post, but i wonder, it is okay to abuse sql transaction like that?

PreparedBatch batch = handle.prepareBatch("INSERT OR IGNORE INTO members (clan_tag, uuid, role) VALUES (<tag>, <uuid>, <role>)");
            for(ClanMember member : clan.getMembers()) {
                batch.bind("tag", clan.getTag())
                        .bind("uuid", member.getUniqueId())
                        .bind("role", member.getRole().getName())
                        .add();
            }
            updates = Arrays.stream(batch.execute()).sum(); 

            if(updates != clan.getMembers().size()) { // some members weren't added; those are already in another clans; 

                handle.rollback();
            }

[golden turret]

and check

[robust forge]

But there are animals in the chunk

Ok thanks

[eternal oxide]

If I remember correctly there is an entities loaded event now

[golden turret]

yes https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/world/EntitiesLoadEvent.html

if i call entity.damage(damage, player), the EntityDamageByEntityEvent wil lbe called?

[chrome beacon]

Probably

[golden turret]

yes

im trying to kill an entity with entity.damage(entity.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH).getValue(), player);

this is in the PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent and im needing to interact with the entity 2 time to it kill the entity

[chrome beacon]

If you want to kill it eithet set hp to 0 directly or do a larger amount of damage

[golden turret]

Float.MAX_VALUE 🤡

[hybrid spoke]

and what if i set it to -1?

will this unalive him?

[austere thicket]

How could i intercept a chat message? in bungeecoord

[heavy perch]

Question to memory consumers and savers
Are instances prefered?

[tender shard]

https://docs.phoenix616.dev/bungee-api/net/md_5/bungee/api/event/ChatEvent.html ?

[quaint mantle]

What

[heavy perch]

static vs getInstance

[tender shard]

getInstance basically always is a static method

[quaint mantle]

Just pass you plugin in constructor like any other depenency 😗

[heavy perch]

Ig

[trail lintel]

hey guys, is there a way to make getConfig() serialize to a java object for simple access instead of having to do getObject(String id) each time? I think i'm close with extending from Config class perhaps?

[tender shard]

do you want to get a custom object from your config, or want to serialize the whole config itself? o0

[ivory sleet]

ConfigurationSerializable perhaps

[trail lintel]

I would like to serialize the entire config file into a java object

[quaint mantle]

Bukkit config api starts sucking at this point

[tender shard]

But it already is a java object: FileCOnfiguration

[trail lintel]

Or if this is stupid, how do you guys approach this?

[tender shard]

what are you actually trying to do?

[trail lintel]

I want to just have a simple object I can reference its members instead of querying the config for a value each time in my event handler

cache it once when the server loads up

[ivory sleet]

I use object relational mapping 😛

[tender shard]

the config already is nothing else on the inside than a Map<String,Object> IIRC

[ivory sleet]

or just object mapping 😛

[golden turret]

wait

a minute

[trail lintel]

Lololol am wait

I am likely being the big dumb 😉

[quaint mantle]

as variant, you can manually parse your config, or, use a library like Configurate or DazzleConf

[trail lintel]

yeah I think you are right its just a map anyway, so it shouldn't be any less efficient

[quaint mantle]

Which does Object mapping for you based on annotations

[trail lintel]

I was thinking it was reading from the file each time

[golden turret]

public class Config extends YamlConfiguration {
  //load your config somewhere

  public Map<String, Object> getMap() {
    return map;
  }
}```

[quaint mantle]

No for sure

[golden turret]

gg

[ivory sleet]

lol

[trail lintel]

ohhh interesting

[tender shard]

no ^^ in that case, you would never need the Plugin#reloadConfig or YamlConfiguration#load methods

[golden turret]

yo, is the Player#discoverRecipe permanent?

espaço

[austere thicket]

ok so i create a class that extends this, but how do i reference it on the main plugin class? (sorry the ping)

[golden turret]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

[ivory sleet]

what r u actually trying to do

[tender shard]

huh? No, you just create a class that implements Listener

sth like this

package de.jeff_media.bungeecore.bungee.listeners;

import net.md_5.bungee.api.chat.TextComponent;
import net.md_5.bungee.api.event.ChatEvent;
import net.md_5.bungee.api.plugin.Listener;
import net.md_5.bungee.event.EventHandler;

public class ChatListener implements Listener {
    
    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(ChatEvent event) {
        if(event.getMessage().contains("bad word")) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            event.getSender().disconnect(TextComponent.fromLegacyText("Stop saying bad words lmao"));
        }
    }
}

and in your main class' onEnable, register the listener, like

@Override
public void onEnable() {
  getProxy().getPluginManager().registerListener(this, new ChatListener());
}

basically it works exactly the same as in bukkit

[sacred ice]

So I am back and found that you send packet like that in 1.18 : ((org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_18_R1.entity.CraftPlayer)player).getHandle().b.a(Packet packet); in need

[tender shard]

only if you don't use Mojang Mappings, which you definitely should

[sacred ice]

idk how

[tender shard]

in mojang mappings you have proper names

package de.jeff_media.jefflib.internal.nms.v1_18_R1;

import lombok.experimental.UtilityClass;
import net.minecraft.network.Connection;
import net.minecraft.network.protocol.Packet;
import org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_18_R1.entity.CraftPlayer;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

@UtilityClass
public class NMSPacketUtils {

    private static Connection getPlayerConnection(final Player player) {
        return ((CraftPlayer)player).getHandle().connection.connection;
    }

    public static void sendPacket(final Player player, final Object packet) {
        if(!(packet instanceof Packet<?>)) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(packet + " is not instanceof " + Packet.class.getName());
        }
        getPlayerConnection(player).send((Packet<?>) packet);
    }
}

[tender shard]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[vale ember]

how do i measure the impact of my plugin on server's performance?

[olive lance]

so why did mojang release mappings and not just not obfuscate them

[young knoll]

From what I’ve heard

Legal reasons and potential performance

[olive lance]

interesting

[buoyant viper]

so that we can stop using stinky smelly mcp mappings

and whatever the fukc fabrics mappings are

yarn names are so strange

[young knoll]

I’ve heard the opposite

[buoyant viper]

when ur switching from mcp to fabric its a real smack in the face @young knoll

u go to type Minecraft.getMinecraft() and its actually like MinecraftClient.getInstance()

[young knoll]

This is why you use Mojmap for everything

Consistency

[buoyant viper]

i had plans to do an mcp thing that used mojangs mappings but ended up forgetting

[quaint mantle]

Does forge support mojang mappings

[young knoll]

Yes

[austere thicket]

thanks! 🙂

[young knoll]

That’s all they use now

[quaint mantle]

Great

[rapid sable]

Hello there, can anybody help me with NMS on 1.17(+)?
I already installed BuildTools but the dependency does not work (it does not add the NMS-classes).

(I added both the 'SHADED' and non-shaded)

[eternal oxide]

read the spigot post linked in #announcements

[rapid sable]

Well, I cannot send any screenshots...

[young knoll]

You need to be verified

[olive lance]

Whats the flag to get remapped jar from buildtools

[young knoll]

--remapped

[rapid sable]

I have read the thing, worked on it the past hour. I added the thing as dependency inside the pom.xml and tried without. It just doesn't work for me 😭

[onyx fjord]

@rapid sable you need mapped jars i think

[rapid sable]

I need to add a mapped jar to the server or add it as dependency?

[tender shard]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

if you're using maven

[rapid sable]

So... Where do I add it inside the pom.xml?
I tried to put it outside of the '<project>...</project>', create other brackets to put it in.

[eternal needle]

hi can someone help me i did compile a plugin and i want it to work on 1.18 but its so many things that are wrong pls help me if you can tag me

[hasty prawn]

?ask

[undone axle]

If you have a question, please just ask it. Don't look for staff or topic experts. Don't ask to ask or ask if people are awake or available. Just ask the question to the channel straight out, and wait patiently for a reply. Make sure you use the right channel regarding the topic of your question. Create a thread in case the channel is already in use!

[sacred ice]

post code

[tender shard]

here's an example pom: https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/spigot_1_18_R1/pom.xml

[sacred ice]

It is possible to support 1.17 nms code and 1.18 nms code? How could I support 1.17 and 1.18 if they are both same named packages and names?

[tender shard]

yes, use maven modules. check out my lib (although the 1.17 version istn't using remapped mappings): https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib

[quaint mantle]

Make multiple modules

[olive lance]

how much of it is supposed to be remapped?

[tender shard]

well, everything from NMS basically. maven can do it automatically for you

[rapid sable]

So I have to do this twice: once for 1.18 and once for 1.18.1 when I want to use both versions?

[tender shard]

1.18 and 1.18.1 have the same mappings, at least for 99.9% of the code

both are 1_18_R1, one module is enough

also I doubt anyone uses 1.18 instead of 1.18.1

[quaint mantle]

I'd say more

[olive lance]

Am i supposed to be able to see these remappings when i decompile the jar from builtools that i used --remapped on

[sacred ice]

ok... i have to move to maven now

[quaint mantle]

1.18.1 has no server code changes

[tender shard]

you dont HAVE to but you'll be very thankful for doing it now

[tender shard]

yes

you will see fields being called "connection" instead of "b" etc

[hasty prawn]

Once you have remapping setup it's literally a godsend

[tender shard]

exactly

[olive lance]

i still see a ton of obfuscated classes and methods

[jovial bluff]

Hi

[hasty prawn]

You didn't do it right then probably

I don't think I see any obfuscated names like "b" or "a" anymore

[tender shard]

for example?

[olive lance]

  @DontObfuscate
  public static void main(OptionSet optionset) {
    SharedConstants.a();
    try {
      DataPackResources datapackresources;
      CrashReport.h();
      if (optionset.has("jfrProfile"))
        JvmProfiler.e.a(Environment.b); 
      DispenserRegistry.a();
      DispenserRegistry.c();
      SystemUtils.m();```

[tender shard]

wtf is that

[olive lance]

NMS.Main

[tender shard]

erm

package name pls

[olive lance]

net.minecraft.server.Main

[tender shard]

it's supposed to look like this

[olive lance]

ok so i did something wrong then

-jar BuildTools.jar --remapped

yeah?

[tender shard]

yes

[olive lance]

didnt work for me

i got a lot of stuff that said profile 'remapped' couldnt be found

i noticed

[rapid sable]

So... It does not work for some reason..
"Cannot resolve org.spigotmc: spigot:1.18-R0.1-SNAPSHOT

[tender shard]

if you copy pasted that from my blog post, you obviously want to replace all "1.18" with "1.18.1" if you compiled 1.18.1

[rapid sable]

I copied it from the github ;?

[tender shard]

please just follow my blog post @rapid sable and @olive lance https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

[rapid sable]

Oh well.. It was referring to a different part...

[tender shard]

and don't forget to use "1.18.1" instead of "1.18" everywhere

[olive lance]

Yeah i read that all the way through. Do i need to specify a version maybe?

[trail lintel]

How do I go about getting a list of a list of strings from the FileConfiguration? This is the closest I can get, forcing a cast to avoid List<capture of ?> returned from getList(), but it seems to always be null.

public List<List<String>> recipeKeys;
recipeKeys = (List<List<String>>) config.getList("recipe.key", recipeKeys);

[rapid sable]

I already use 1.18.1 everywhere 🙂

It was referring to a failed attempt of mine that I did not delete yet.

[olive lance]

My only difference between what you did was i just used latest version

[tender shard]

you are indeed using maven and your IDE also uses maven to get the dependencies, right?

[quaint mantle]

getStringList?

[trail lintel]

I need a list, of a list of strings

a 2d array basically

[quaint mantle]

Oh

[rapid sable]

But I am still not allowed to use the NMS.

[tender shard]

did you let your IDE reload your pom.xml changes?

[olive lance]

I havent got there yet

[tender shard]

List<List<String>> list = (List<List<String>>) config.get("recipe.key");

should work

[olive lance]

I thought i could just decompile what buildtools gave?

[tender shard]

of course you can but you'll have to decompile the remapped jar then

[rapid sable]

Reloading maven right now.

[trail lintel]

Ohhhh thanks mfnalex lemme give that a shot

[olive lance]

And so the remapped jar does not come from buildtools is what youre saying?

[tender shard]

check your maven folder, e.g. C:\Users\mfnal.m2\repository\org\spigotmc\spigot\1.18.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT

there should be a jar called spigot-1.18.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT-remapped-mojang

[rapid sable]

Now it does work. Thank you!

So I have to run the remapped on the server too, right?

[tender shard]

nooo

[olive lance]

Ok so

[vale ember]

any ideas?

[olive lance]

I cannot just decompile what buildtools gives to view

[tender shard]

on your server you run the normal .jar. the "special-sauce" inside your pom.xml translates the mapped mappings you are using back to the obfuscated ones

[trail lintel]

that seems to have done it, thanks a bunch @tender shard

[olive lance]

Ok i see now thank you

[tender shard]

np 🙂

[rapid sable]

Then I have some bad news... My burger ain't working!

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.minecraft.server.v1_18_R1.

[tender shard]

yeah, it's now just net.minecraft.server

of course almost all classes have different names now

because you are now using the original names mojang used in 1.17+ and not the old ones

[rapid sable]

If I am correct, I am checking for both 'net.minecraft.server' and 'org.bukkit.craftbukkit'

[tender shard]

e.g. what used to be EntityPlayer inside net.minecraft.server.v1_16_R3.entity is now net.minecraft.server.level.ServerPlayer

[golden turret]

so im using player.discoverRecipe(recipe) to add the recipe to the recipe book of the player, but when i open the recipe book with the items for the recipe, it shows that i dont have enough items

[tender shard]

the middle item is another one than what you have

[buoyant viper]

benchmarks?

[vale ember]

please

[onyx fjord]

hello

https://i.imgur.com/Fn6XSkq.png

[tender shard]

you have some gray jar but the item from your recipe is red colored

[onyx fjord]

what is wrong with this line of code (its not my plugin)

[tender shard]

just make some timing reports or manually measure the execution time of certain parts

[tender shard]

what's the error message

[tender shard]

what class is CONTAINER?

[tender shard]

that class simpy doesn't have any method called getOptional

[onyx fjord]

breh

[rapid sable]

So then how do I summon an EntityPlayer?
I can get the MinecraftServer but not the WorldServer...

[tender shard]

You have to forget about the old names

[quaint mantle]

nms.screamingsandals.org

[tender shard]

There is no WorldServer anymore

It's called ServerLevel

[tender shard]

here's how I'm creating NMS entities (armorstands and area effect clouds) and show them to players in 1.18 remapped: https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/spigot_1_18_R1/src/main/java/de/jeff_media/jefflib/internal/nms/v1_18_R1/NMSHandler.java

as sad, EntityPlayer does not exist. It was the name spigot used, in mojang mappings that never existed. And WorldServer also does not exist, it's called ServerLevel

[golden turret]

no my friend

[tender shard]

ah its just the overlay?

[golden turret]

yes

[tender shard]

sorry bout that

how did you register the recipe?

[golden turret]

yes

[tender shard]

how?

MaterialChoice or ExactChoice?

[golden turret]

exact

i can craft the item

but in the book it says that i dont have items

[tender shard]

what's your spigot version?

[golden turret]

latest

:C

[tender shard]

I remember a bug that was fixed in 2019 regarding exact choice + recipe book

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/craftbukkit/commits/3697519ba51140de215c65de680de25fde06a2fe Found this but that's been fixed

[golden turret]

all my items have custom nbt tags

and im not setting them with the pdc

[tender shard]

why don't you use PDC? 😛

but that probably wouldnt help anyway

[quaint mantle]

Why not pdc

[tender shard]

I just checked, and custom PDC tags in the recipe book work fine for me

[shut meadow]

hello can someone say me how to display the real life time in the chat, but before a message, and it should update after every minute

because i have that the time will displayed but it will not updated

[crimson terrace]

with packages?

[tender shard]

once the message was sent, it's sent

you can't tell the client to update a message after that

[shut meadow]

i know but when a new message will be send that the new real life time will be displayed

because actually only when i make a server reload the time will be updatet

[tender shard]

I also wonder how that would be useful - what's the purpose in prefixing a message with the current time instead of the time when the message was sent

[shut meadow]

right

[shut meadow]

to see the real life time

[tender shard]

just use a title, bossbar or action bar

or resend the message every minute

as said you cannot update already sent messages

[shut meadow]

i dont want to update sent messages

[shut meadow]

i will display the time on a message when the player has send the message

[quaint mantle]

Hmm, idk, but maybe score components can update in the Chat?

[tender shard]

then just use the AsyncPlayerChatEvent, use setFormat and add the current time

[shut meadow]

the time will be displayed, but after to or three minuets the same time is displayed after a server reload the newst time is displayed again

[tender shard]

then your code doesn't generate a new string for every message

they just want something like

[0.01 am] player1: hi
[0.02 am] player2: hi too!

[shut meadow]

right

[tender shard]

so just create a new string in every message instead of generating that strng once

show your current code pls

[shut meadow]

    Date now = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
    SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");

    Bukkit.broadcastMessage("§7[" + format.format(now) + "]§f " + player.getName() + "§7 > §f" + msg);

[tender shard]

cheap example:

in AsyncPlayerChatEvent, use SetFormat(System.currentTimeMillis() + " %s: %s")
it will show the current milliseconds + playername + message

where do you execute that from? that should work normally

[golden turret]

update: when using material choice it works

[tender shard]

any reason why you're using NBT instead of PDC`?

[golden turret]

wlib

[tender shard]

wlib?

[golden turret]

wlib!

[shut meadow]

public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        String msg = event.getMessage();
        event.setCancelled(true);
        if (commands.livers.contains(player.getName())) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("§f[§9LIVE§f] " + player.getName() + "§8 > §7" + msg);
        } else if (commands.aufnehmer.contains(player.getName())) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("§f[§cREC§f] " + player.getName() + "§8 > §7" + msg);
        } else if (commands.redstoner.contains(player.getName())) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("§f[§4REDSTONE§f] " + player.getName() + "§8 > §7" + msg);
        } else if (commands.afks.contains(player.getName())) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("§f[§7AFK§f] " + player.getName() + "§8 > §7" + msg);
        } else if (commands.miners.contains(player.getName())) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("§f[§bMINING§f] " + player.getName() + "§8 > §7" + msg);
        } else if (commands.rper.contains(player.getName())) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("§f[§dRP§f] " + player.getName() + "§8 > §7" + msg);
        } else {
            event.setCancelled(true);
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("§7[" + format.format(now) + "]§f " + player.getName() + "§7 > §f" + msg);
        }

    }
}

[tender shard]

again: wlib?

NBT isn't part of the API so I wouldn't expect it to work with the Recipe API. PDC however will work fine

[golden turret]

again: wlib!

[quaint mantle]

i guess another noname common lib

[tender shard]

you can say wlib as often as you want, noone knows what you're trying to say

[tender shard]

as you can see, you never set "now" in that method

so it will never update

[quaint mantle]

better make an implementation that uses pdc if possible

[shut meadow]

i am new to java so where i have to add the now?

[shut meadow]

it is working

[tender shard]

add Date now = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()); inside your event

[tender shard]

so why are you asking why it doesnt work?

[shut meadow]

i got it now working

sry

[tender shard]

np^^

[quaint mantle]

Um new Date() will return the current date

[tender shard]

you have to learn basic java, your problem was as I said - you never updated your "now" variable

you probably set it once when creating the class instance instead of everytime someone chatted

[quaint mantle]

Btw use new time api

[misty current]

i'm tryna use this code to create a circle

    public static Vector getSphericalVector(double radius, double yaw, double pitch){
        double yawCos = Math.cos(Math.toRadians(yaw));
        double yawSin = Math.sin(Math.toRadians(yaw));

        double pitchCos = Math.cos(Math.toRadians(pitch));
        double pitchSin = Math.sin(Math.toRadians(pitch));

        double x = yawCos * pitchCos * radius;
        double y = pitchSin * radius;
        double z = yawSin * pitchCos * radius;

        return new Vector(x, y, z);
    }

but i'm not sure why it has these strange gaps

[lavish hemlock]

that's p'cool

but I can't help

[misty current]

for(int i = 0; i < 360; i++){
    Vector vec = VectorUtils.getSphericalVector(4, i, 0);
    new ParticleBuilder(ParticleEffect.REDSTONE)
            .setLocation(player.getLocation().add(vec))
            .setParticleData(new RegularColor(Color.RED))
            .setSpeed(0)
            .setAmount(1)
            .display();
}

the ParticleBuilder is part of the api i use to play particles

[trail lintel]

So assuming I change some values in the config for my plugin which changes the meta for my custom item, I need to iterate through all players on startup and make sure any items tagged with the persistent data for my item who had an old version are updated. Is the most efficient way to do this to iterate through JavaPlugin.getServer().getOnlinePlayers() and .getOfflinePlayers() doing a check on their inventory? Would it be more efficient to do it on a player connect do you think, instead of all players once on startup? The first would only need to happen once, when the server starts to check the config. so that seems better to me.

[tender shard]

you cannot get offline players inv

[trail lintel]

Ahhh well that makes this an easy choice then 😉

gonna have to do the onConnect

[misty current]

remember players could also store them in chests

[trail lintel]

Oh shit ur right..... Can you iterate through all containers? That seems silly....

[tender shard]

well you COULD, in onChunkLoad and then getting the tileentities

is there any reason you have to update PDC data?

there's probably some cleaner way

[trail lintel]

cuz like I want part of the config of the plugin to be able to name the item

and part of the item creation is reading that config value and storing it in the meta

[tender shard]

I'd probably just tell server admins that the new name will only apply to new items 😄

otherwise you will have a looot of work for a pretty minor feature imho

well

[trail lintel]

That is probably true, but it is slightly annoying haha

[tender shard]

you could check inventory open event and onconnect

and, if you really care that much, also entitypickupitemevent

[trail lintel]

Hmmm thats not a bad idea

yeah for entities sitting on the ground leftover in a chunk

[tender shard]

performance impact should be next to nothing

[trail lintel]

Thats whats up 😄 I think I'll do exactly that

will give me some more experience too

[tender shard]

oki 🙂

although tbh I wouldnt care about entitypickupitemevent

[trail lintel]

yeah that one will probably rarely happen

only if t hey like dropped it while flying over a chunk and came back

[tender shard]

basically only if a player drops an item, then server restarts with new config, and then player picks it up again

[trail lintel]

ohh yeah or that

[deep tiger]

How can I bump guava version of paper 1.8.8 ?

[tender shard]

compile paper yourself

[eternal oxide]

this isn't paper

[tender shard]

or shade the required lib version into your plugin

[tender shard]

aaaand this^

[deep tiger]

Spigot if you want but it's the same problem x)

[tender shard]

as said, either compile it manually, adjusting the pom or just shade what you need yourself

[deep tiger]

I got this exception when using the last version of guice :
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkArgument(ZLjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)V

[mighty sparrow]

Are Exit Conditions a good practice in plugin development ?

[deep tiger]

Yes but i've already dit it

[tender shard]

wdym?

[quaint mantle]

@ivory sleet

how can I make the value on, off when executing a command? Persistent Data Container

?

[tender shard]

what?

[tender shard]

you also need to relocate it if you use class names already laoded by spigot itself

[quaint mantle]

when entering a command such as /test

on, off

[tender shard]

you want to toggle a PDC value?

are you using boolean or byte as datatype in the PDC?

[deep tiger]

I don't understand x)

[quaint mantle]

yes

[quaint mantle]

String

[deep tiger]

I mean, the guava version I want to target is already shaded in my plugin, but it seems like the server is still using the wrong version

[tender shard]

just set the new value to ```java
oldValue.equals("on") ? "off" : "on"

but you should rather use BYTE or BOOLEAN as datatype instead when it's just a true/false thing

[quaint mantle]

okay, give example please

[tender shard]

pdc.set(yourKey, PersistentDataType.STRING, pdc.get(yourKey, PersistentDataType.STRING).equals("on") ? "off" : "on");

or use my lib and directly switch to DataType.BOOLEAN instead of using strings for this: https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/MorePersistentDataTypes/

[quaint mantle]

thank you, i will try

[tender shard]

google "maven shade relocate dependency"

[deep tiger]

I'm using gradle

[tender shard]

well then replace maven with gradle and google it anyway 😄

[quaint mantle]

"gradle shadow relocate depenency"

[tender shard]

basically just

shadowJar {
   relocate 'junit.framework', 'your.package.junit.framework'
}
``` (from what I found on google)

[deep tiger]

Ok thanks you, what should I write for the destination ?

[tender shard]

<your.package.name>.whateveryoulike

e.g. my plugins have the packagename de.jeff_media.pluginname so I shade libs to de.jeff_media.pluginname.libs

[deep tiger]

I wrote :

    relocate("com.google.guava", "me.choukas.dodgecreeper.libs.com.google.guava")

[tender shard]

you dont declare guava as dependency

there's nothing to relocate

you commented guava out

[deep tiger]

Oh

[tender shard]

although I have no idea about gradle. I don't know if "implementation" is enough to actually "shade" it at all

in maven you'd declare that dependency to be "<scope>compile</scope>"

then it would be added to your .jar and you can relocate it

[misty current]

bumpp

[deep tiger]

Nop, but the shadow plugin do

[tender shard]

no idea, someone with gradle knowledge will have to help you then, I only know maven^^

[deep tiger]

Doesn't work either

[golden turret]

?pdc

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-guide-to-1-14-persistentdataholder-api.371200/

[golden turret]

which is the relative to NBTTagList in the pdc?

[tender shard]

PersistentDataType.TAG_CONTAINER

[golden turret]

thanks

[tender shard]

it's basically a PDC inside a PDC

[tender shard]

did you check out my lib for additional data types? might save you some time when you have objects to save that are NOT just byte arrays or strings or integer arrays

[golden turret]

wdym

[tender shard]

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/MorePersistentDataTypes

it adds a ton of new datatypes

e.g. so you can easily save ItemStacks inside a PDC and other stuff

there's a table on that github page in the readme

[quaint mantle]

https://github.com/decalium/persistent-data-types/ 🙂

[minor garnet]

can someone explain to me which blocks do not have bouding box?

[tender shard]

I'd say mine is easier and more powerful 😛 and it existed first 😄

[tender shard]

I think all where you can walk through

[ivory sleet]

Imagine if paper or spigot just decided to add all of those 🤡

[tender shard]

e.g. flowers?

not sure though

[tender shard]

that would be nice

[minor garnet]

hmm

[quaint mantle]

well you have docs at least

[tender shard]

I do?

maybe

oh I thought you meant javadocs

[quaint mantle]

i have efficient collection data type implementation

no, you, kinda, have readme

hi, manya

Can your library do
PersistentDataType<?, ImmutableList<ItemStack>> ITEM_LIST = DataTypes.collection(ImmutableList.toImmutableList(), DataTypes.ITEM_STACK);? 😼

[tender shard]

no, I never needed that^^

[quaint mantle]

PersistentDataContainer container = p.getPersistentDataContainer();
NamespacedKey key = new NamespacedKey(Main.getInstance(), "test-plugin");

[golden turret]

and how could i store a map and a list using the pdc?

[quaint mantle]

if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("cmd")) {

[golden turret]

would i need to create new data types?

[tender shard]

yes

[golden turret]

*i dont want libs, im making*

[quaint mantle]

ok

[tender shard]

well, if your map has strings as keys, you can just save it as TAG_CONTAINER

[quaint mantle]

p.sendMessage("On"); and p.sendMessage("Off");

[golden turret]

seriously?

[tender shard]

@quaint mantle whom are you replying to all the time?

[golden turret]

so i would need only for the list

[quaint mantle]

manya

[quaint mantle]

how?

[tender shard]

but the message you are answering to has nothing to do with your messages

[quaint mantle]

how to do it? the command that will switch

[tender shard]

switch what?

[quaint mantle]

can you use your brain a little bit

on, off

[lavish hemlock]

uhh

AK

[quaint mantle]

you keep replying to the same message

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

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

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

[quaint mantle]

I googled yesterday, I didn't find it today either

[tender shard]

so you want a method that returns "on" when you pass "off" to it, and vice versa, right?

if so, I already gave you that

public String getOpposite(String input) {
        return input.equals("on") ? "off" : "on";
}

[quaint mantle]

if I entered the /test command, set the value to true. If I entered the /test command again, set the value to false

[tender shard]

and what exactly is the problem where you're stuck with?

[quaint mantle]

how can I name a key?

and remove

[tender shard]

NamespacedKeys have a constructor: NamespacedKey(Plugin, String) where String is the name of your key

[quaint mantle]

how replace?

[tender shard]

how replace what

[quaint mantle]

i'm Russian and dolboeb

name key

replace

[tender shard]

alright I don't care if this is spoonfeeding. So you have an ItemStack, right? And you want it to save "on" or "off" inside. And switch it when entering /test right?

[quaint mantle]

yes

[golden turret]

@tender shard so i would need to create a custom data type only for the List, right?

[tender shard]

it depends on what your map contains

[golden turret]

list

[tender shard]

@Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
        NamespacedKey key = new NamespacedKey(this, "nameOfTheKey");
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        ItemStack item = player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand();
        ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();
        String oldValue = meta.getPersistentDataContainer().getOrDefault(key, PersistentDataType.STRING,"off");
        String newValue = oldValue.equals("on") ? "off" : "on";
        meta.getPersistentDataContainer().set(key, PersistentDataType.STRING, newValue);
        item.setItemMeta(meta);
        return true;
    }

obviously this isn't perfect ^

[wild cedar]

Hey there, is there any way to get all spigot api mappings with documentations?

[quaint mantle]

thank you

[tender shard]

it's all undocumented tbh

or wait

are you talking about Spigot API, or NMS?

because Spigot API doesn't have any "mappings", and NMS is not documented because it's not part of the API

[wild cedar]

spigot api, the one we use for writing plugins

[wild cedar]

I meant Spigot API itself, not the mappings for mojang

[tender shard]

javadocs for spigot?

[wild cedar]

javadocs yea

[tender shard]

?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

[wild cedar]

yea I do have the website, I just wanted to use it for my bot, so I can search it easily

[tender shard]

BuildTools can generate the docs for you too so you have them locally

if that's what you're looking for, idk

[wild cedar]

do you know which folder is javadocs for spigot api?

Spigot-API I guess?

[tender shard]

run BuildTools with --generate-docs flag

one sec

[tender shard]

buildtools\Spigot\Spigot-API\target\apidocs

as said you need to run buildtools with --generate-docs

[wild cedar]

gotcha, thanks!

[tender shard]

np

[sullen marlin]

you can also download them off nexus

[tender shard]

running buildtools is cooler though

[quaint mantle]

paperclip is cooler

[snow compass]

I find a "bug" in fromLegacyText method. All formats return " " (perhaps intended behaviour????).

[tender shard]

TextComponent#fromLegacyText?

[snow compass]

yes

[quaint mantle]

What

[snow compass]

It still add the colours on the text, but if you look inside the return BaseComponent [TextComponent{text=test, BaseComponent(color=, font=null, bold=null, italic=null, underlined=null, strikethrough=null, obfuscated=null, insertion=null, extra=null, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null)}, TextComponent{text= text, BaseComponent(color=, font=null, bold=null, italic=null, underlined=null, strikethrough=null, obfuscated=null, insertion=null, extra=null, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null)}] color= is blank.

Is really odd behaviour.

[lethal knoll]

is it okay to change the price of a premium resource?

[tender shard]

sure, why not?

but it has to be under 20€/USD or sth IIRC

[lethal knoll]

yea maybe it goes back into an approval stage

[tender shard]

no

[lethal knoll]

yes certainly

[tender shard]

you can change it anytime

[lethal knoll]

I'm planning on lowering the price

[quaint mantle]

i dont understand the issue

[snow compass]

TextComponent#fromLegacyText

format = ChatColor.getByChar(c);```

format always return blank = no value.

even if return value have color (but is empty).

[mortal hare]

why is InventoryDragEvent so weird

whenever i drag one item

and the event is cancelled it returns the cursor as null

but whenever i drag 2+ items in the event, while it is cancelled it returns the uncalculated cursor value (2+ cursor items, instead of amount it should've calculated)

[snow compass]

you have both new and old cursor

[mortal hare]

ik

[snow compass]

in that event

[mortal hare]

lemme explain it:
event.getCursor()

event.setCancelled(true)

1 item dragged - event.getCursor() == null
3 items dragged - event.getCursor() == {ItemStack x 3}

[snow compass]

event.getOldCursor()

[mortal hare]

i don't need it

the event is cancelled

why it returns calculated value

whenver dragged item is 1

that makes no sense, it should return {ItemStack x 1} instead

since the event is cancelled

but somehow it returns the calculated value if dragged item amount is 1

is this a bug

this weird calculation handling seems like a bug for me

if the event is cancelled it should always return the oldcursor

instead i get some sort of mix

[calm star]

how can i make it so when i do /start a timer counts up from 0 above your hotbar

[mortal hare]

Use a scheduler

and BukkitRunnable's runTaskTimer()

[calm star]

how do you add it above the hotbar

[mortal hare]

its called action bar

google it

[calm star]

ok tanks

thanks

[mortal hare]

[tulip owl]

When I make a command with custom tab completion, do I make two classes for the command and the tab completion? Or do I replace the normal one with the tab one?

[tender shard]

somePlayerObject.spigot().sendMessage(ChatMessageType.ACTION_BAR, TextComponent.fromLegacyText("your message"));

[calm star]

for the stopwatch, i do this:

runTaskTimer(this, new Runnable(){}, ??)

wat should the last parameter be

[tender shard]

your commadnexecutor can just also implement TabCompleter

or yeah just create a new class, however you like

[tender shard]

the delay

[calm star]

20 ticks then

cause thats 1 sec

[tulip owl]

👍 also would you recommend using a command handler? Or is the basic bukkit API one fine

If so, what one?
