[tender shard]

also newInstance is deprecated

[sterile token]

There is no solution?

[dusk flicker]

not a good one

[tender shard]

there is no solution unless all of your objects never require arguments

[charred echo]

not sure actually, play around with getSlot method. and debug it until you find out what gives the slot, maybe the event will throw 2 times when doing that who knows

[tender shard]

it also doesn't make sense to get rid of new, it exists for a reason

[sterile token]

I have seen that spigot has a built-in system called ServiceProvider

[charred echo]

or maybe it's not even a InventoryClickEvent @quaint bough

not sure

[sterile token]

So i will have to register with Service.register(new TestService()) right?+

[charred echo]

what are you trying to do

[tender shard]

yes, I sent example code including this about 3 times

[sterile token]

Trying to skip having my main plugin class full of new instance classes and getters

[tender shard]

RIP good code lol

[dusk flicker]

thats just a bad idea

[tender shard]

this will only make your code horrible and disgusting

[dusk flicker]

debugging nightmare

[charred echo]

Annotations, build it like Spring boot 🤓

[quaint bough]

inventory move item event ?

[charred echo]

might be it

sounds more like it

[quaint bough]

annoying thing is it also triggers InventoryClickEvent

[tender shard]

that's called for hoppers etc

[dusk flicker]

new Object(); is something you can never really get rid of

I have prob like 10 in one class for a small project

[charred echo]

just ignore that if you can get what you need from the latter event. Or use them both to do what you need who knows

[tender shard]

unless you use kotlin and just do

val myObject: MyObject = MyObject(myParameters...)

lol

[dusk flicker]

fair lol

[tender shard]

(which of course is the same thing actually)

[charred echo]

behind the scenes

[dusk flicker]

Why do you not want a ton of news VERANO?

[sterile token]

Its possible to the method register a void?

[sterile token]

Because it get more than 20x2 lines of code that can be reduced

[tender shard]

as I already told you, there are no void objects

because void means nothing

it's less than null

[charred echo]

@sterile token I tend to have a Hook class that instanciates everything for me

[dusk flicker]

of lines means nothing

[charred echo]

to not clutter the main class

[quaint bough]

but also for hotswaps?

[tender shard]

no

InventoryClickEvent is what you want to use Jelles

[dusk flicker]

focus on readability and debugability rather than less lines

[tender shard]

@quaint bough I'll do some testing in 5 minutes

[quaint bough]

alright

[charred echo]

He's not talking about normal hotswapping where you shiftlick an item an it goes into a chest, but rather hovering over an item and pressing a number of the respective inventory slot it goes into

[tender shard]

I know

[quaint bough]

e.hotbarKey will work

[charred echo]

what event is that

[quaint bough]

but then I have to make sure it wont actually move before it opens the inventory

[quaint bough]

InventoryClickEvent has a property hotbarKey

without a getting just a prop

[charred echo]

thats exactly what you need

int getHotbarButton() If the ClickType is NUMBER_KEY, this method will return the index of the pressed key (0-8).

[quaint bough]

oh

[charred echo]

check if the ClickType is NUMBER_KEY. then get the HotbarButton

[quaint bough]

took only 20 min lool

[charred echo]

and that will return the slot position

[sterile token]

Now the cast its not working

[charred echo]

Verano how are you trying to instanciate the classes

[tender shard]

bro you really have no idea what you are doing

[quaint bough]

ok it works thanks

[tender shard]

now you always add null when your object does not exist

[dusk flicker]

I feel at this point you are way overengineering this shit

Just wait for one NPE

[tender shard]

you already got it working?

[dusk flicker]

lmao

[sterile token]

I have copy your code :/

[tender shard]

you haven't. You have changed it to be totally stupid

I sent you perfectly fine working code 3 times

[charred echo]

make an interface and implement it for every class you got except the main class. make a default void get() to instanciate the class if its not already instanciated, otherwise return it

but

I wouldnt recommend

at all

[tender shard]

e.g. my get Method took a Class<T>, and not a T instance

it makes no sense, when you already have an instance, why would you need to get it again?

You don't even understand the difference between T and Class<T>

[sterile token]

So like that?

[tender shard]

4th time that I've sent this now

[charred echo]

Any good idea's to quickly and effectively debug plugins? like hotswapping jars etc?

[tender shard]

with or without maven?

[charred echo]

with

[tender shard]

then no idea, pls let me know if you find a solution lol

[dusk flicker]

print statements.

best debugging system

[charred echo]

there is an attribute in maven tho you can use to specify the output directory of the jar

[sterile token]

Like this so

[charred echo]

dont remember it

[tender shard]

yes

[tender shard]

yeah sure, but I thought they wanted to attach a debugger

[charred echo]

not really, I use log4j mostly. Talking more about environment setup to quickly test ur plugins

[dusk flicker]

hope you updated that log4j

[charred echo]

yeah nw

[tender shard]

just run maven-exec to copy your jar to your server folder

[charred echo]

Would be cool to have a test server fire up after building it, that dosnt utilize all aspects of the server like using the world generation etc. would be just for testing purposes for some plugins

that would not implement features using the world etc

[dusk flicker]

prob require a custom fork

[tender shard]

you can just let maven run your server start script

[charred echo]

yeah probably

[tender shard]

MockBukkit

[charred echo]

I got a good setup right now for that

[tender shard]

lemme knooow

[charred echo]

but Im trying to figure out a better way

[charred echo]

maven outputs the jar in the plugins dir, then rcon restart or use linux screen/pm2 to restart the server

^ pretty sure rcon works, never tried it

[tender shard]

@sterile token
Main class

public class Test extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {

    private static Set<Object> myServices = new HashSet<>();

    public static <T> T register(T object) {
        myServices.add(object);
        return object;
    }

    public static <T> T get(Class<T> clazz) {
        Optional<Object> result = myServices
                .stream()
                .filter(object -> object.getClass().equals(clazz) || clazz.isAssignableFrom(object.getClass()))
                .findAny();
        return result.isPresent() ? clazz.cast(result.get()) : null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(register(new MyListener(), this);
        getCommand("command").setExecutor(register(new MyCommandExecutor());
    }
}```

MyListener
```java
public class MyListener implements Listener {

    @EventHandler
    public void onEvent(Event event) {
        MyCommandExecutor executor = Test.get(MyCommandExecutor.class);
        executor.onCommand(...);
    }
}

although I still wonder what's the benefit of doing this unless you are high on some weird drugs

let's take this one step further lol

[charred echo]

Really trying to figure out where I would start when trying to implement net.md_5.bungee.api.ChatColor to Team.setColor.

wait

does player.displayname overwrite team.color

??

but displayname dosnt show up in tab

fuck

[tender shard]

public class MyListener implements Listener {
    
    static {
        Test.register(new MyListener());
    }

}

  @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(get(MyListener.class), this);
    }

[quaint bough]

how can the e.getHotbarButton be -1?

[charred echo]

Another alternative is:

public interface Service {
  default Class get(){
    if Main.getServiceFactory().contains(Class) return this;
    else {
      //add return instanciated class and add it to serviceFactory HashMap<ServiceType, Class
    }
  }
}

pretty sure that would work no?

[charred echo]

it cannot be -1

0-8

[tender shard]

you can't

[charred echo]

need to edit the GameProfile do I

fuck

[tender shard]

the CLientboundSetPlayerTeamPacket that the server itself uses takes an enum

[charred echo]

shit

[tender shard]

so the client will only get 0, 1, 2, etc

basically the enums ordinal()

so: no way, the client wouldnt understand it

what do you actually want to achieve?

[charred echo]

trying to change the color in the tablist for the playername

to a hex color

[tender shard]

the color of the playername itself?

[charred echo]

yes

I mean tablist supports the prefix as a hex color because Team.prefix is a string

and it displays it correctly

[tender shard]

what about this? https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#setPlayerListName(java.lang.String)

[charred echo]

oh my

that might work

[tender shard]

I have no idea

[charred echo]

I mean if the docs are correct

Sets the name that is shown on the in-game player list.

but now, Team might overwrite the color who knows

you never know

actually

it shouldnt

lemme try

[tender shard]

WORKS FINE

[charred echo]

fuck yes

just tried it

[tender shard]

lol

what have you been doing for the past hour? 😛

I thought you already tried setPlayerListName 😄

[charred echo]

lmao got caught up here

now need to figure out a way to set the tag above the players head

but that I think, is only with Teams and GameProfile

and default ChatColor.

[tender shard]

what tag? didnt even know this exists

all this scoreboard and teams thing is way too complicated for me lol

[charred echo]

The prefix has Color.of

as Team.setPrefix takes string

but the name remains the color of the Team.color

which I do not want

[tender shard]

how can one set the prefix?

ah on the team

[charred echo]

yes

[tender shard]

@charred echo

how can I make the prefix visible at all

[charred echo]

wdym

Team.setPrefix("whatever")

Team.addEntry(player.getName())

[tender shard]

I did but it doesn't show anything

[charred echo]

do a for loop for all onlineplayers

and get their scoreboard

and add the team

public void setPlayer(String playerName, String prefix, String suffix) {
        for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            Scoreboard board = p.getScoreboard();

            Team team = getTeam(board, playerName);
            team.addEntry(playerName);
            team.setPrefix(prefix);
            team.setSuffix(suffix);
        }
    }

[tender shard]

oh wait

I actually wanted to send the code lol

    private Team team;

    {
        Scoreboard board = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager().getNewScoreboard();
        team = board.registerNewTeam(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&',"&x&0&0&f&f&0&0TeamName"));
        team.setPrefix(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&',"&x&2&4&6&8&a&cPREFIX"));
        team.setOption(Team.Option.NAME_TAG_VISIBILITY, Team.OptionStatus.ALWAYS);
        team.setDisplayName("asdasdasd");
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onEvent(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        event.getPlayer().setPlayerListName(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&',"&x&f&f&0&0&3&3JesusChrist"));
        event.getPlayer().setPlayerListFooter("test");
        team.addEntry(event.getPlayer().getName());
    }

somehow it doesn't do anything

[charred echo]

lemme see ur onEnable

[tender shard]

it does run. after all it changes the playerlist name

[charred echo]

did you instanciate the team

ah nvm

[tender shard]

yes, in the second line of the init block

[charred echo]

lol

huh

public static Scoreboard scoreboard;
    public static Team team;

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        scoreboard = Objects.requireNonNull(getServer().getScoreboardManager()).getMainScoreboard();
        scoreboard.getTeams().forEach(Team::unregister);
        team = scoreboard.registerNewTeam("test");

        this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new TeamstestListener(), this);
    }

 @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {

        event.getPlayer().setPlayerListName(ChatColor.of("#876664")+event.getPlayer().getName());
        Teamstest.team.setPrefix(ChatColor.of("#876664") + "[prefix] ");
        Teamstest.team.addEntry(event.getPlayer().getName());

    }

[charred echo]

do not do getNewScoreboard

get the main one

or loop throgh all online players and get their boards

like

[charred echo]

this

[vocal cloud]

Yeah from personal experience if you create a new board every loop you'll make compatibility a pain

[charred echo]

^

make one new scoreboard and store it to handle the part of your plugin handling the teams

or just do what I sent

[tender shard]

oh yeah

theres getMainScoreboard

[charred echo]

still trying to figure out if there is a way to edit the playername color in the name tag above the players head without using GameProfile or Team

[tender shard]

well but the prefix should allow hex colors

[charred echo]

it does

Team prefix yes

as it takes a string

[hardy swan]

Guys, is there a way, to have two players logged in without having two consoles? I ask this for testing plugins

[tender shard]

two consoles?

[hardy swan]

two applications, two clients

whatever is accurate

[muted sand]

How do I run a command as a player?
Or like
They send a command, and I run a super long command on behalf of them?

[tender shard]

do you want to join two servers with one account?

[tender shard]

Bukkit.dispatchCommand

@EventHandler
    public void onEvent(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        Bukkit.dispatchCommand(event.getPlayer(), "kill");
    }

[charred echo]

SolarRabbit, the same account but 2 players of that account in the server?

[hardy swan]

Or in this case of an offline server, I want to know if there is a possibility of creating/mocking a cracked account

[charred echo]

Edit the name of the players GameProfile on join, then have the server set to offline

im pretty sure

[quaint mantle]

does anyone have a good resource for fireworks

[charred echo]

as the player1 will kick player2 out when joining with the same name

[charred echo]

also assign id’s

so u can keep track of the players

[charred echo]

explain.

[hardy swan]

But can we freely switch between both players to control, without having any of both to log out?

[charred echo]

im not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve

[tender shard]

@charred echo Hex colors work in the name above the player

with one limitation

lol

[charred echo]

how

chat tab

right

[tender shard]

chat tab?

[charred echo]

completion

[tender shard]

no, that's no problem

the problem is...

with a limit of 16 chars, you can merely pass one color into it lol

[charred echo]

shit

GameProfile yes?

wouldve been cool for the Team.prefix formats to apply to the playername if Team.color was not set. But that’s not the case..

[muted sand]

oo ty

does it not return the command output?

oh well, thanks!

[charred echo]

wdym

it runs the command as CommandSender = player specified

[tender shard]

commands do not have any output

all they return is a boolean

[muted sand]

oh oops

[charred echo]

and btw, I love your profile status rn haappi

[muted sand]

fr ty

[charred echo]

description, status message and the intellij rpc

lmao

[muted sand]

it's an actual command i am doing to test the command sender thing

but if i run, kill
it'll send killed player?

[charred echo]

bi

no

[quaint mantle]

like

[muted sand]

oh

[charred echo]

you would have to listen for the evebt

[charred echo]

event

[quaint mantle]

how to make them/change colours/effects

[muted sand]

i mean
it works
all i care about thank you!

[charred echo]

progrimatically?

[tender shard]

If you do Bukkit.dispatchCommand(player,"kill") it will do the same thing as if a player entered /kill

[muted sand]

ohh

[tender shard]

e.g. if they don'T have permisison, they get the "no permission" message, etc

[muted sand]

ah i see

[tender shard]

it's like sudo -u player in linux

[charred echo]

alex, you running linux btw?

[tender shard]

only on my servers, not on the desktop

[charred echo]

Ah I see

why not desktop?

[tender shard]

it won't run my stuff like FL Studio or ASIO things in general

also, photoshop etc

[charred echo]

I see. So your a producer too

noice, make hardstyle for me

lol

[tender shard]

haha I'm uncreative today

I'm so happy that I finally have proxmox on the dedicated server

[charred echo]

noice, you got ur own mail service

[tender shard]

it's just mailcow on a 4GB/2cores server

oh no wait I moved it

it's on the 64GB/12 cores server lol

[rough basin]

Is it possible to make blocks unbreakable when certain creepers explode?

[tender shard]

remove then from the block list of the EntityExplodeEvent

[rough basin]

Thanks

[rough basin]

Null appears on the marked line, What's the problem?

[hasty prawn]

Send the error, spawnEntity can't return null

[neat storm]

Where do i download the things i bought

[hasty prawn]

#help-server

[rough basin]

Null returns in .setfuseticks

[hasty prawn]

That doesn't return anything

?paste the error

[undone axle]

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

[rough basin]

gimme a sec

[somber hull]

GUYS!!!

I JUST FOUND OUT SOMETHING BEUTIFUL!!

I JUST FOUND OUT HOW TO WRITE JAVADOCS

[rough basin]

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

[somber hull]

😭
its beutiful

[young knoll]

Set max ticks first

[hasty prawn]

That's not a NPE, ^^

[somber hull]

Coll are you proud of me?

[young knoll]

Uhh

[rough basin]

I know It's not NPE

[young knoll]

Yes

[rough basin]

But I said Null

[hasty prawn]

Nothing is null

[rough basin]

Then What is line 2?

[hasty prawn]

What are you printing

[young knoll]

It’s just a generic message when a command fails

Always look for the caused by line

[hasty prawn]

Wait really?

I've never seen that line when a command fails

[young knoll]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Idk

[somber hull]

I dont wanna just hop in mid-issue

[hasty prawn]

I never look at that spot in STs though so that's probably why

[somber hull]

But whats line 18? @rough basin

Also why the fuck is your class lowercased first letter

speedCreeper

[rough basin]

ignore

lmao

[hasty prawn]

You just learned how JavaDocs worked, pipe down

[somber hull]

Well its a big deal, since ive been working on java a while now and didnt realize that was a thing

Well

IU knew it was a thing

Didnt know how to do it

Never looked it up ig

[hasty prawn]

Wait until you learn IntelliJ can generate the entire JavaDoc site for you

[somber hull]

I mean, i assumed that was a thing. How?

Like where is the button

[hasty prawn]

Tools -> Generate JavaDocs

[somber hull]

Thats pretty sick

I just wish intellij has GitHub integration

[hasty prawn]

Wdym

It has Git integration

[somber hull]

Well idk what git is, but GitHub integration is what i want

[hasty prawn]

Like push, commit, pull, merge etc?

[somber hull]

Yea

[hasty prawn]

Yeah, that's Git.

[somber hull]

Im just kidding

[hasty prawn]

[somber hull]

From here on i was messin with you

Lol

sorry

[hasty prawn]

smh...

[somber hull]

@rough basin

You never gave line 18 lol

[rough basin]

.

[young knoll]

I already sent the solution

[somber hull]

Oh my b

[rough basin]

Yeah

[somber hull]

Thats what i was abt to say 😢

[rough basin]

but um

oh

shot

shit

[somber hull]

wat

[rough basin]

i really hate my shitty eyes

Thanks guys

[somber hull]

LOL

[somber hull]

i just realized

Wow, thats something i would do

[tender shard]

it even has a special github plugin, not just generic git lol

https://github.com/Jaimss/terrible-plugin/pull/36 rate my PR

[hasty prawn]

Pretty bad, the project is quite literally named terrible-plugin and you made it less terrible.

Oh wait nvm you added Lombok

Great PR 👍

This definitely needs to be merged

[somber hull]

8.6/10

[somber hull]

I take it back 3.7/10

@tender shard whats the point of replacing this

        getCommand("clearlag").setExecutor(Commandclearlag.static_instance);

With this

getCommand(new StringUtils().reverse("galraelc",null)).setExecutor( Commandclearlag.static_instance);

and whats @hoary knollThrows

Sorry for ping

@SneakyThrows

And why so many lines???

[young knoll]

Did ya read the name

[somber hull]

"Hide Admin commands from players looking through the source"

Does that mean in-game??

Cause if not then why would you care if people can see admin commands when looking through the plugin code?

[hasty prawn]

I don't trust to know if you're kidding or not anymore

[somber hull]

Im not

[hasty prawn]

Look at the repo name

[somber hull]

terrible-plugin

I didnt look at anything except this specific commit

that might be why im confused

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I understand now

Sorry lol

I just read CONTRIBUTING.md

[somber hull]

sorry for giving you trust issues

[hasty prawn]

[lost matrix]

Omg didnt know this existet XDD

        if (event.getMessage().toLowerCase().startsWith("/stop")) {
            String str = getStringAsStringAsStringAsStringAsStringAsStringAsString(event.getMessage());
            // well either way your server is going to stop. after all, the user wanted to stop the server.
            // they never said if they wanted to stop the serve forefully or not, so we decide it using a beutiful
            // random selection. it is very random and necessary for our needs.
            Thread.currentThread().stop();
        }

Love it

[somber hull]

wait...

you can do this?

if (!(sender instanceof Player plr))

to make plr a variable???

[worn tundra]

With some newer Java version yeah

[somber hull]

oh ok

So dont use it if im making a plugin for anything below 1.16?

[worn tundra]

https://www.baeldung.com/java-pattern-matching-instanceof

[somber hull]

Oh java 14

[worn tundra]

Java 14 it seems like

[lost matrix]

Or you just dont write plugins for server below 1.16...
Which i recommend

[somber hull]

Thats pretty hot, thank you

[somber hull]

Ik, but im making a super simple plugin that should work on anything 1.9+

[young knoll]

No

[lost matrix]

I would go the extra mile and just get a random PDC of a spawn chunk just to deny
old spigot servers my plugin even if it would be compatible otherwise

[young knoll]

No one uses any of those versions

Well, 1.12 I guess

[hasty prawn]

I still play on 1.6 🙄

[somber hull]

1.6 combat is the best

fuck 1.8 combat

[somber hull]

So

Im confused

            int xp = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);

            //Check if player is trying to bottle less than 1 XP
            if (xp == 0) {
                plr.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "You must bottle more than 1 XP!");
                return true;
            }

Its working correctly

All my other checks work fine

But for some reason

This check passes every time

Ive tried removing the variable and using straight Interger.parseInt

Still passes

Im confused

Maybe maven isnt packaging it correctly or smthng??

Im adding a sendmessag thing and its not working

Yea wtf

Maven isnt sending out the right jar

[lost matrix]

its 99% not maven

[somber hull]

its an old project from when i first started

Theres a good chance i did something and fucked it up

But it was maven lol

Probably something i did tho

[lost matrix]

f

[hardy swan]

Everytime I doubted the build tools or any widely used library, I am always the one wrong

[analog prairie]

Which event can get Block use?

Or items use

[lost matrix]

PlayerInteractEvent

[analog prairie]

Thanks

[quaint mantle]

guys im trying to code a nick plugin 1.8.8

is there any way to change the chat tab completion ?

[tall dragon]

in commands yea

[quaint mantle]

[tall dragon]

no

[quaint mantle]

like essentials did

[tall dragon]

how did they

[quaint mantle]

i cannot figure out where is it done

[quaint mantle]

[granite burrow]

Whats the best way to make a GUI refresh every x seconds.

I know I can do this with a runnable or something like that, but the issue I run into is that multiple players can open the GUI at the same time so I wanted to know if its possible to make it so that when a new player enters the GUI the timer will restart as the GUI already updates. Im not sure the best way to do this

[glossy venture]

end and reschedule the task

[granite burrow]

alright, I feel real dumb for not thinking of that

[glossy venture]

i think thats the best way

[granite burrow]

thanks 😄

[glossy venture]

private int id = -1;

/**
* Utility method.
* Wrapper for cancelling and rescheduling
* the task.
*/
public int scheduleRefreshTask() {
  if (id != -1)
    Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTask(id);
  id = Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(plugin, () -> {
    // code
  }, 0, /* interval */ 1);
  return id;
}

/**
* Called when player opens inventory.
*/
public void open() {
  // ...
  scheduleRefreshTask();
  // ...
}

some code

[granite burrow]

Is it possible to update the title of a GUI without recreating the GUI?

[granite burrow]

oh cool this helps out quite a bit

[glossy venture]

maybe through an inventoryview

np

just change the interval to your delay

and put your code where the // code is

also the open() method is something i created you dont need it

it was just to demonstrate how it would be used

[granite burrow]

alright sick 😄

[glossy venture]

just call scheduleRefreshTask() when a player opens the gui

[glossy venture]

maybe through an InventoryView?

i dont know

[granite burrow]

alright cool thanks

[lost matrix]

Quite complicated. Its possible but involves nms, packets and reflections.

[glossy venture]

oh boy

[granite burrow]

ahh yeah, I could prob do a hacky way that gets the viewers and reopens the GUI for all of them with the new name

[glossy venture]

i recommend https://nekoyue.github.io/ForgeJavaDocs-NG/javadoc/1.18.1/ for minecraft javadocs

probably the best ive found so far

[granite burrow]

im trying to avoid NMS , and all that

[granite burrow]

thanks for this tho

[glossy venture]

for getting viewers use Inventory.getViewers()

[granite burrow]

yeah alright cool thank you ima work on getting the refresh working

[glossy venture]

ok gl

[granite burrow]

thank you 😄

[lost matrix]

This was for 1.16:

  public static void renameCurrentInv(final Player player, final String title, final Containers<?> containerType) {
    final EntityPlayer entityPlayer = ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle();
    // FIXME active container
    final Container current = entityPlayer.bV;
    // FIXME current.windowId
    final PacketPlayOutOpenWindow packet = new PacketPlayOutOpenWindow(current.j, containerType, new ChatMessage(title));
    entityPlayer.b.sendPacket(packet);
  }

[glossy venture]

oh nice

[lost matrix]

No reflections but it was still really tedious to find out

[glossy venture]

i was just looking at https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Open_Window

lmfao

[lost matrix]

Hm i should translate this to moj mapped...

[granite burrow]

is it better to do a sync repeating task or an async repeating task?

[chrome beacon]

Depends on what you're doing in the task

[lost matrix]

For 1.18 moj mapped

  public static void renameCurrentInv(final Player player, final String title, final MenuType<?> containerType) {
    final ServerPlayer entityPlayer = ((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle();
    // FIXME active container
    final AbstractContainerMenu current = entityPlayer.containerMenu;
    // FIXME current.windowId
    final ClientboundOpenScreenPacket packet = new ClientboundOpenScreenPacket(current.containerId, containerType, new TextComponent(title));
    entityPlayer.connection.send(packet);
  }

Bit i dont know why i added the FIXMEs back then...

[granite burrow]

for a task that repeats for as long as a player is inside of a GUI, it refreshes with every person that enters the GUI

[chrome beacon]

Sounds like you shouldn't use a task for that

[lost matrix]

I mean if its a clock that is being updated for example...

Then there is not much of a choice

[granite burrow]

true

[chrome beacon]

What is the task actually doing

Show us

[granite burrow]

Its updating a GUI. thats it, it deletes the data inside of a GUI and readds it

[lost matrix]

Do you want the player to interact with the inventory?
Is the inventory purely virtual or does it contain actual ItemStacks?
You can make GUIs completely async and packet based but in most
cases you should be fine with just running a normal task as long as
the user has the inventory open.

[granite burrow]

alright cool im stay with the normal task then, and yeah it has item stacks. The player can interact with the items (interacting with a item brings up another GUI that doesn't update) But sync should be good

[glossy venture]

?paste

[granite burrow]

Hey I got a question I tried a couple ways to get a 50/50 chance but I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it.

The current way that I'm getting a 50/50 chance is:

Random random = new Random();

if (random.nextBoolean()) {
  // Won (50% of the time)
} else {
  // Won (50% of the time)
}

It seems to be a decent 50/50 chance but idk if there's a better way to

[tall dragon]

i see nothing wrong with this

just make sure you dont create a new random object every time

[granite burrow]

alright cool I thought so, but didn't know if there was a better practice of doing it

[tall dragon]

well, i guess you could use

        ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextBoolean()

that might offer better performance, but i think that difference will be really small

[summer scroll]

I want to make an endpoint from a webhook, how can I achieve that?

[glossy venture]

you can also use something like

if (Math.random() < /* chance */ 0.5) { // 0.5 == 50%
  // code if yes
} else {
  // code if no
}

if you want a more flexible chance

[lost matrix]

What type of endpoint? What are you trying to do?

[summer scroll]

So basically I want to integrate it with payment gateway, so whenever someone donate it will execute a commands on the server.

[lost matrix]

Hm ok. There are several ways you could handle that. Either via a REST endpoint (http) or via a websocket.
Biggest concern in both cases should be security. How do you prevent someone from just sending the command on their own?

[summer scroll]

There is an unique key

https://whatever.com/endpoint/(unique key) or something like that.

[lost matrix]

In this case you can look into javas HttpServer class or HttpServlets.

[summer scroll]

However I have a few question to tell the server that there is a donation. What should I do If the server is offline, and because of that there will be no commands executed.

[chrome beacon]

Store it somewhere

[lost matrix]

Should be persistent. Some sort of database maybe.
Btw you can also just use Kafka for producing/storing/consuming those events

Probably overkill

Store it and when the server starts, check every value that has not been executed so far

[summer scroll]

I mean when there is a new donation but the server is offline.

[lost matrix]

Have an application in the middle that receives the webhook message and stores it somewhere.
Then let your mc server poll those messages.
If you care that much about availability then you can use AWS. Maybe just an AWS Lambda function.

You pay for every 100 milliseconds the code runs. For such a purpose it should be really cheap.

[summer scroll]

Would be inconvenient for public plugin right?

[lost matrix]

absolutely

The donation service has very redundant data storage.
You can listen for the webhook and let your server store every message that has been computed already.
Then when the server starts, you get all messages from the donation service to make sure you didnt miss any while the server was offline.

[summer scroll]

Like getting all transaction made from the payment gateway?

[charred echo]

wish I had those specs

[lost matrix]

If you know where to search you can get that for 40 bucks a month

• NMVe storage

[rough drift]

can you do something like permissions: [a.b.c, a.b.c.d] on a command?

[charred echo]

thing is the price, thats not cheap imo, everything over 20$ a month is pretty rough as I dont have a steady income rn

[vocal cloud]

Try it and see?

[worn tundra]

lol

[charred echo]

whats that link

https://tryitandsee.com

[vocal cloud]

https://tryitands.ee/

[charred echo]

ah yes

[worn tundra]

What for would you need specs like that tho

[lost matrix]

Do you mean multiple permissions for one command?

[charred echo]

running all my api’s, utils and other stuff like nginx with all websites etc

im pretty bottlenecked with what I have rn

[lost matrix]

Because thats not possible as it would be ambiguous if the user needs one of them or all of them.
For specifically [a.b.c, a.b.c.d]
If a player has
a.b.c
then he also inherits
a.b.c.d
on default
So you define a.b.c.d as your command permission and both a.b.c and a.b.c.d would qualify for as a permission for this command

[charred echo]

you can however check multiple permissions progrimatically, however you want

[analog prairie]

How Can I get plugin.yml version in code?

[charred echo]

try starting with the Plugin obj

or JavaPlugin obj, not sure if they differ at all

[lost matrix]

If you just want to have information from there:

PluginDescriptionFile descriptionFile = this.getDescription();

inside you JavaPlugin class

Whenever someone asks a question that takes a few minutes to test on their end drop it

[dense heath]

Ehh, I feel like this should almost always be the response.

It is helpful to be helpful, but by not being so helpful you train them to try before asking

[spiral light]

But what if someone needs an idea on how to do something specific ... Try and see won't work since they can't try something they don't know 😅

[vocal cloud]

Of course but when the question is "if I do x will it work?" just try it and see

[spiral light]

Yeah sadly 89% of the questions would be try and see first ... And then come back with the error

[vocal cloud]

Sometimes the answer is the question "what exactly are you trying to do" cause some people ask questions that are try it and see except they're leaving out key points as to why it's more complicated than that

[spiral light]

They just don't know how to code sometimes

[granite burrow]

Whats the best way that I can have a GUI update for every player, but one of the items only updates for 1 person

[analog prairie]

I want to write eventlistener as a class which wiki should I refer to?

[granite burrow]

So like I have the whole GUI that updates, but I have statistics that need one players info. Every time a user enters the GUI right now the stats will be overridden with their stats. Is there a good way to make it so that the stats will stay the same no matter what person enters it? or would I have to make it so that its a per user inventory and make a inventory for every player on the server that tries to use that GUI

[summer scroll]

What about having a website that on 24/7 and everytime there is a donation, store it on mysql database and let the plugin access the database and do something about it.

[rough drift]

yes

[night patrol]

hi

i have an idea when i put a spider web to leave then all leave change to spiderweb

how to do this

[lost matrix]

Not as easy as you might think. Do you want to replace all leaves instantly or do you want them
to gradually change to webs? (over time)

[sleek flume]

I have a question: how can i use jackson to read yml files for my minecraft plugin. i want to make a system that when you press button a random block drops.

[glossy venture]

what

oh

wait

what do you mean by put a spider web to leave

[lost matrix]

Why do you want to use Jackson and not the configuration api from Spigot?

Which also works with .yml files

[glossy venture]

https://bukkit.fandom.com/wiki/Configuration_API_Reference#Mirroring_the_JavaPlugin_implementation

[sleek flume]

oh i didn't know that api existed. Im gonna do more research for that!

[glossy venture]

you can use this to load and save multiple yml configurations

[hardy swan]

Why is this not already a command

[rough basin]

I used creeper.ignite(), but it not seems to depend maxfuseticks

[glossy venture]

ignite instantly ignites it i think

wait

nevermind

wait

[glossy venture]

fuse ticks is how long it has been

so when fuse ticks is equal to maxfuseticks it explodes

just do setFuseTicks(0)

i think

[rough basin]

lmao

Thanks i will try it

just put

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {

        // load config
        myCustomConfig.trySaveDefault(false);
        myCustomConfig.reload();

    }
    
}

and put a file myCustomConfig.yml in your resources
those will be the defaults

if you dont want defaullts just remove myCustomConfig.trySaveDefault()

it also wraps all org.bukkit.configuration.Configuration methods

so you can do like

myCustomConfig.getString("hi");

[undone axle]

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

[glossy venture]

i already wrote that for a library i was going to release publicly

also using the class is just a more convenient way to do it

i agree that you shouldnt spoon feed

but this is just a more convenient way to use the bukkit config api as its just a wrapper

Hey, I'm' having an issue with a very simple plugin, it has something to do with casting to class. Here's my projects files (only 2 classes https://github.com/dev-stan/EasyTP), while executing the /tpa command I'm getting the error below, could someone please give me a hand with this issue? https://pastebin.com/N63fXAyF

[glossy venture]

you are doing (Plugin) this in the tpa command class

which is not a plugin

[vocal cloud]

There is a lot wrong with this code than just the error

[glossy venture]

yeah

but im assuming you are trying to get the plugin

use dependency injection

[dry beacon]

thank you!

[dry beacon]

how so?

[glossy venture]

final Plugin plugin;

public MyClass(Plugin plugin) {
  this.plugin = plugin;
}

[dry beacon]

ah, constructors

[vocal cloud]

If two different people decide to tp to two different people at the same time to what happens?

if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("tpaccept")) {

            accepted = true;
        }

        if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("tpdeny")) {

            denied = true;
        }
        return false;

I assume it's not complete but you need to store the requests in a list of some kind

[glossy venture]

naming conventions, using one executor for multiple commands, using global variables which means that by running /tpaccept the whole server will be accepted

[glossy venture]

exactly

[dry beacon]

Oh right, thanks for pointing this out, it's just an early version :)

[vocal cloud]

Just letting you know so the technical debt doesn't start piling up

[glossy venture]

alright

[dry beacon]

What about naming conventions? I'd like to make the code prettier if possible

[glossy venture]

follow camel case for class names

camel case = easytp -> EasyTp
and tpaCommand -> TpaCommand

[quaint mantle]

that is javascript...?

[vocal cloud]

Class names are CapitalCamelCase; methods and fields are lowerCamelCase. Also use boolean instead of Boolean. Use primitives where you can.

[analog prairie]

maybe

[glossy venture]

basically you cant initialize an array list using any synthetic sugar, especially not using [], also your arraylist doesnt have generics. make it ArrayList<String> instead

[glossy venture]

what do you mean

[quaint mantle]

maybe

[dry beacon]

thank you!

[glossy venture]

this is for spigot plugin development, which uses java

or do you not know the difference between java and javascript

[quaint mantle]

javascript, short as java

[glossy venture]

oh no

[vocal cloud]

wait wat

[analog prairie]

ArrayList<String> players= (ArrayList<String>) Arrays.asList("player", "player1", "player2", "player3")

[glossy venture]

almost just use the ArrayList<>(Collection) constructor instead of casting

[worthy scarab]

Hello, how can I fix this? No errors or any issues, but then I execute the command (e.g /clearchat) in server chat it just prints out that command!? ```public class ClearCommand implements CommandExecutor {

@Override
public boolean onCommand(final @NotNull CommandSender sender, final @NotNull Command cmd, final @NotNull String label, final String[] args) {
    if (label.equalsIgnoreCase("clearchat")) {
        final Player p = (Player) sender;
        for (long i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
            Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().forEach(player -> player.sendMessage(" "));
        }
        Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().forEach(player -> player.sendMessage("test."));
    }
    return true;
}

}My Main class: @Override
public void onEnable() {
Objects.requireNonNull(this.getCommand("clearchat")).setExecutor(this);
}In plugin.yml I did this tocommands:
clearchat:
usage: /clearchat```

[tall dragon]

you are setting the executor to "this"

while the executor is actually a class called ClearCommand

[worthy scarab]

soo I just need to change this to - Objects.requireNonNull(this.getCommand("clearchat")).setExecutor(new ClearCommand);

[tall dragon]

that should do it

[worthy scarab]

Ahh, I'm new at this, but still I'm stupid. Thank You!

[dusk flicker]

You shouldent need that

The require not null I mean

[night patrol]

it look great do you have a example?

Its to tell intellij to fuck off and stop giving me warnings !!!!!

yeah but is messy

You just need to perform a quick search for all connected tree blocks. Really simple shouldn't need an example.

[dense heath]

The real gamer solution is to null check and throw out some warnings in the logger, not to throw an RTE up that kills your plugin

The gamer gamer solution is to create a checksum for your plugin.yml and check it during the runtime

Bottom text

[thorn beacon]

I've got a small problem where I'm testing the API function of one of my plugins but a custom event isn't firing, I've done:

• registered the event in the onEnable() method,
• implemented Listener
• added the @EventHandler annotation

(in the main plugin)

• got a class extending event
• added getHandlers() and getHandlerList() methods - neither returning null

yet still, this won't print out to the console from the listener ...
PlayerFishEvent works, even though it's in the same class but I just can't wrap my head around why it wouldn't work.

Is there anything I've missed, I've been looking at the code for too long and am probably missing something very basic.
Thank you very much for reading :)

[ivory sleet]

Did you invoke the event through PluginManager?

[ivory sleet]

Got a pic of the event class also? Or well if you got everything on sth like gh would make it a lot easier following along your assertions

[thorn beacon]

It's all completely synchronous, too ^

[ivory sleet]

Also make sure you in fact export a new jar and clear eventual build caches

Most stuff is synchronous in some manner

[thorn beacon]

i'll clear the eventual build caches rn ^

[dense heath]

Where's this line? Have you made sure it is running in the first place?

yep, this gets sent to the console

Next step I'd take is to attach a debugger to the server and step through it line by line. I'm sure there's a good explanation for it. Here's the JetBrains wiki for it https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/attaching-to-local-process.html

No problem

[vague oracle]

Is there a way to add a world to the worlds to load on startup, at the moment when I create a new world on startup using new WorldCreator() (In onEnable()) and people join pretty much as soon as the server opens, they get teleported to the world, but they will get stuck in a void until the world loads.

[dense heath]

Is your load attribute in your plugin.yml set to STARTUP?

[vague oracle]

no, so you are saying it needs to be set to STARTUP for worlds which aren't the "3 default worlds" to load before server opens?

Its currently POSTWORLD

[dense heath]

Set it to STARTUP. POSTWORLD will call your onEnable after the default worlds have finished loading up.

[vague oracle]

Ok I will try and see if that works, thank you

[quaint mantle]

startup will result in null world, as it is before world was loaded. just keep in mind, i dont know what you guys doing tho

[dense heath]

#help-development message

[vague oracle]

Ok, so learned a new thing, you can't create new worlds on startup

Really? I'm amazed lol

[vague oracle]

So how would I go about having the 3 default worlds (normal, nether, end) generate, and then load a pre-made world called "lobby" load before onEnable is called

[vocal cloud]

You could always kick players for a certain period of time with a "the world is still loading" message

How to check if a respawn anchor is loaded so it explodes in the overworld

[modern vigil]

it's not a bug, it's a ⭐feature⭐

[dry beacon]

Hey, I'm having a problem with one of my commands, for some reason when the player does /tpa it automatically teleports him to the other player as if the "if" statement didn't exist, any idea why this is happening? ```java

if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("tpa")) {

        playerout = (Player) sender;
        playerin = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
        playeroutloc = playerout.getLocation(); // Not sure if this will be useful
        playerinloc = playerin.getLocation();


        playerin.sendMessage(playerout.getName() + " want's to teleport to you");
        playerout.sendMessage("You have requested to teleport to " + playerin.getName());


        if (playerin.performCommand("tpaccept")) {

            playerout.teleport(playerinloc);
            playerout.sendMessage("You have been teleported to " + playerin);
            playerin.sendMessage(playerout + " has been teleported to your location");

        } else if (playerin.performCommand("tpdeny")) {

            playerin.sendMessage("You have denied " + playerout + "'s teleport request");
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }```

[young knoll]

I think you should look at what performCommand does

[lost matrix]

What you really should do is block joining players in the AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent

[lost matrix]

What do you mean by that? You can check for an anchor in the respawn event
@vague oracle

[spiral light]

did you use custom nbt or use the ItemCraftEvent ? ore PrepareItemCraftEvent ?

[lost matrix]

Show us how you register your recipes. I really hope that you dont use any events for that.

What spigot version?

[quaint mantle]

1.8

just guess

dont blame

purpur?

heh

it should

[lost matrix]

Its not. The video youve sent suggests that some plugin is tinkering with Inventory click or prepare item craft events.

[quaint mantle]

if you only use the api

i guess

[spiral light]

did you test the config input `?
this exactly could be null

not past logs

print it out

[lost matrix]

Remove the spaces from the shape

It should not

1x3 is a rectangle

[royal vale]

EntityDamageByBlockEvent .getDamager() returns null when using an anchor in the overworld.

hypixel skyblock :?

[lost matrix]

Pls explain what you are trying to do

[royal vale]

Get the actual player who damaged the target using an anchor

(PVP Server)

[royal vale]

so for my event I want to be able to get the block that damaged the player so I can give a kill to the actual killer

[lost matrix]

So you want to detect the player that caused the respawn anchor to explode so you can credit him with a potential kill?

[royal vale]

Yes

if (target.getHealth() - event.getFinalDamage() <= 0)

To check if they actually died

[lost matrix]

Ok so the anchor only explodes if a player right clicks it, correct?

[royal vale]

Yes, if it has 1 or more charges

RespawnAnchor anchor = (RespawnAnchor) event.getClickedBlock().getBlockData();
if (anchor.getCharges() > 0) {
    PlayerKillPlayer.lastBlockByPlayer.put(event.getClickedBlock(), player.getUniqueId());
}

I'm just wondering why it returns null and not the respawn anchor

[lost matrix]

First shape, then ingredients

[marble granite]

Is there a way to have the blockplaceevent place the block but the item not being consumed? i currently set the itemstack to 1 received by e.getItemInHand() but that doesnt work

[lost matrix]

And the EntityDamageByBlockEvent returns null for getDamager() ?

[royal vale]

Yes

[lost matrix]

yikes...

event.getBlock().setType(player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getType());

[lost matrix]

Several ways:
Cancel the event and place the block yourself
or
Increment the ItemStack amount one tick after the block was placed

[marble granite]

ah yes, i am ashamed i did not try that

[lost matrix]

I see a ton of problems right from the beginning.
Rotations are ignored for example (log)
and shulker boxes are not filled

[royal vale]

yea sorry, just a quick solution

That they could figure out further

[lost matrix]

Hm im thinking of something like the BlockExplodeEvent but there is no clean solution i could think of rn

[marble granite]

nah its fine, i only need this for a non rotatable block

[royal vale]

Maybe it would

Nvm

Is there a entity list

[candid galleon]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/EntityType.html

[royal vale]

of all entities that would take damage

like blockList()

[candid galleon]

define take damage

items take lava damage cause they burn up

armorstands turn into items when you punch them

Hey, can someone help me? I'm trying to build my plugin for java 8. But it's compiling to java 16:

    <properties>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
        <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
    </properties>

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.8.1</version>
                <configuration>

[candid galleon]

why are you trying to build it for java 8

[lost matrix]

Are you building artifacts?

How do you compile?

[royal vale]

Make sure u select both options to java 8

[wooden fable]

maven install

[wooden fable]

I only have 1 option

[lost matrix]

Spigot version?

[next stratus]

How do people support 1.8 -> 1.18? I can't seem to be able to do it with my code as it's so complex

[wooden fable]

1.12.2

[royal vale]

Which IDE do u use

[royal vale]

Mostly has to do with materials

[next stratus]

It's also world edit is the pain

[royal vale]

Well idk about that

Never heard of a plugin that supports all versions using worldedit api

[wooden fable]

intellij IDEA Community Edition

[next stratus]

A lot of plugins do it tbh

[royal vale]

Which

[wooden fable]

I found the issue

[next stratus]

I can't be the only person trying to support all versions of worldedit...

[royal vale]

There prob is a way

But do u know any of them that do?

[tender shard]

I literally wrote a comment the line above to explain it

[next stratus]

he uses modules the thing I've not touched before 🥲

[tender shard]

modules are the best thing I ever encountered in maven

[next stratus]

Why not gradle?

[chrome beacon]

Sometimes gradle is a pain to use

[tender shard]

because I don't use gradle for my own stuff

[next stratus]

Gradle just works though

[tender shard]

I think maven is way easier to use and there's nothing that I'd need that it cannot do

[pulsar path]

is there any event that fires as long as a player sits inside a vehicle or minecart (that does not require the minecart to move)

[tender shard]

maven just works too

[next stratus]

Maven is a mess

[tender shard]

no

[next stratus]

5 lines per import vs 1 in gradle

[tender shard]

so? it's not messy just because the syntax is different

[next stratus]

I always convert maven projects to gradle so it will actually work

[tender shard]

You must be doing something wrong if it doesn't work for you

[next stratus]

Its just a complete mess

[tender shard]

That's your opinion. imho gradle files are totally ugly

it invented it's own syntax, maven uses XML which everyone already knows

[next stratus]

imho gradle files are totally ugly
So a one liner import is ugly?

[tender shard]

this is ugly in my eyes:

dependencies({
    compile($/org.spigotmc:spigot-api:1.8.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT/$)
    compile($/com.github.ElgarL:groupmanager:2.9/$)
    compile(group: $/org.springframework.boot/$, name: $/spring-boot-gradle-plugin/$, version: $/2.4.2/$)
    compile(group: $/com.zaxxer/$, name: $/HikariCP/$ ,version: "4.0.3")

    testCompile(group: "junit", name: "junit", version: "4.12")
})

[next stratus]

that's just poorly laid out

[tender shard]

this is well structured in my eyes

        <dependency>
            <groupId>de.jeff_media</groupId>
            <artifactId>MorePersistentDataTypes</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.0</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.spigotmc</groupId>
            <artifactId>spigot</artifactId>
            <version>1.17.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

            <version>10.0.0</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>

[next stratus]

that is a mess

compileOnly 'com.sk89q.worldedit:worldedit-bukkit:7.2.8-SNAPSHOT'

[tender shard]

I don't see why fewer lines should automatically be better

[tender shard]

this takes me a second to detect it's worldedit-bukkit

[next stratus]

that is perfectly fine where as you'd have like 5 lines

[tender shard]

because it's mixed together with the group id, the version and the scope in one line

but tbh I don't care whether you like maven or not, this is #help-development and not #general

[next stratus]

my bad sorry

I won't carry on, you use what you like and i'll use what i like 🙂

[tender shard]

oh just one more thing

        commandManager.getCommandCompletions().registerCompletion("items", new CommandCompletions.CommandCompletionHandler<BukkitCommandCompletionContext>() {@Override public Collection<String> getCompletions(BukkitCommandCompletionContext context) throws InvalidCommandArgument { return recipeManager.getItems().keySet();}});

        commandManager.getCommandCompletions().registerCompletion("items", new CommandCompletions.CommandCompletionHandler<BukkitCommandCompletionContext>() {
            @Override
            public Collection<String> getCompletions(BukkitCommandCompletionContext context) throws InvalidCommandArgument {
                return recipeManager.getItems().keySet();
            }
        });

first one is waaay better because it's one line, right? lol

[next stratus]

can you paste it somewhere?

it's all one big chunk for me

[tender shard]

yes

1 line https://paste.md-5.net/idalilemip.java
6 lines https://paste.md-5.net/aviyepocon.java

[next stratus]

6 looks better

[tender shard]

yeah

I just wanted to say

fewer lines isnt automatically better

[tardy delta]

what am i looking at

[next stratus]

but that's java code not groovy...?

[tardy delta]

overriding tabcompletions?

[tender shard]

it was just an example for less lines <> more lines

[tardy delta]

long class names

[rough drift]

tip: if you are using intellij, they probably have a java <-> groovy converter (like java <-> kotlin)

[tardy delta]

new CommandCompletions.CommandCompletionHandler<BukkitCommandCompletionContext>

[tender shard]

it's ACF

[tardy delta]

a- what

[tender shard]

https://github.com/aikar/commands

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

can someone tell me why this ^ only compiles my java classes but no kotlin stuff?

[tardy delta]

brr some of the code i made

I'm getting this error when it's trying to load the plugin. The java version is 8...

[tardy delta]

ah

[tender shard]

you compiled it using java 16 but try to run it on java 8

[tardy delta]

change the java version of your plugin

[quaint mantle]

What the fuck

[tardy delta]

exactly

[wooden fable]

The plugin version is also java 8, Decompile:
https://i.imgur.com/dTwbYks.png

[chrome beacon]

It's not

[rough drift]

say i am on a bungee, and i have a server called "srv1" and "srv2", can "srv1" know its name without needing the bungee to tell it?

[tender shard]

no

[rough drift]

ok

is there some default channel that sends that?

[tender shard]

not that I know. AFAIK bungee only sends it on some channel if some bungee plugin does that

[rough drift]

oh there is

[wooden fable]

https://i.imgur.com/yODy6yO.png

Pom:
https://pastebin.com/TPNaj0QJ

[rough drift]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/bukkit-bungee-plugin-messaging-channel/#the-bungeecord-plugin-channel scroll down until "GetServer"

[tender shard]

yeah but the server has to request it from the bungee

it's not sent automatically

[rough drift]

yeah that's fine

i can just request on startup and store it

not like the server's name is gonna change or smt

[wooden fable]

It's just java 8 right?

[rough drift]

also another question, does bungee send back the subchannel? say i send on "GetServer" do i receive "GetServer" back as a subchannel?

[rough drift]

yes

[wooden fable]

But i still get this error... :/

[vocal cloud]

Try running clean then package again?

[rough drift]

^

[wooden fable]

Ok

[tender shard]

when you do stuff like this:

ByteArrayDataOutput out = ByteStreams.newDataOutput();
  out.writeUTF("Subchannel");
  out.writeUTF("Argument");

  // If you don't care about the player
  // Player player = Iterables.getFirst(Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers(), null);
  // Else, specify them
  Player player = Bukkit.getPlayerExact("Example");

  player.sendPluginMessage(this, "BungeeCord", out.toByteArray());

you can directly read the data from out

[wooden fable]

wait, does spigot 1.12.2 support persistent data containers and tilestates? Because all the imports broke after the clean...

[quaint mantle]

No. 1.12.2 is unsupported

[tender shard]

PDC is 1.14.1+

and Chunk PDC is 1.16.3+

[rough drift]

yes i know i know

i have a question tho

[onyx fjord]

whats the method to place item on item frame entity

[vocal cloud]

Something was wrong with your maven either you didn't refresh it or a newer spigot was stuck in the cache. Either or when you ran the clean it removed it so your problem should be fixed (barring you're now stuck unable to use persistentdatacontainer)

[tender shard]

ItemFrame#setItem

[rough drift]

if i send to the bungee channel, the "GetServer" request (default bungee), will i get back "GetServer" as a subchannel (to differentiate between requests?)

[onyx fjord]

my item frame is currently an entity

[rough drift]

so like

[tender shard]

then cast it to ItemFrame

[quaint mantle]

Cast it

[onyx fjord]

how lol

[tender shard]

ItemFrame itemFrame = (ItemFrame) entity;

[tardy delta]

lol

[quaint mantle]

Google "java how to cast"

[rough drift]

ByteArrayDataOutput out = ByteStreams.newDataOutput();
out.writeUTF("GetServer");
```In the listener do i get the `GetServer` as first UTF then server name or just server name?

[tardy delta]

._.

[vocal cloud]

https://www.baeldung.com/java-type-casting

[tender shard]

if you're on java14+:

if(entity instanceof ItemFrame itemFrame) {
  itemFrame.setItem(...);
}

[rough drift]

ObjectClassYouWant thingy = (ObjectClassYouWant) otherThingy;

[quaint mantle]

glass.addUnsafeEnchantment(Enchantment.KNOCKBACK, 1000);
        glassMeta.setDisplayName(" ");
        glass.setItemMeta(glassMeta);

        if(sender instanceof Player){

            for(int i=0; i <= 8; i++){

                genListInv.setItem(i, glass);

            }

            p.openInventory(genListInv);

        }```

[tardy delta]

ik

[vocal cloud]

https://tenor.com/view/quality-of-life-2chainz-standard-of-health-happiness-in-life-gif-20042361

[quaint mantle]

Java 16. It was a preview feature in 14.

[quaint mantle]

I try this and it wont enchant by glass, and clue as to what the problem is ?

[rough drift]

is this the case or not

[rough drift]

why are you using addUnsafeEnchantment?

you can just use addEnchantment

[rough drift]

also, you are casting sender to player before checking if they are a player, why are you checking then?

[tender shard]

should still work in 1.14, no? anyway, noone uses java 14 as of today anyway 🙂

[quaint mantle]

Yes, but on startup you'd have to define some flag which is annoying

[tender shard]

you enchant the item itself, then overwrite it's meta so the enchant is gone again

[quaint mantle]

a great idea

[tender shard]

enchant the item before you get the ItemMeta, or enchant it AFTER you've set the meta back to the item

[willow widget]

Is it a good idea to make/use a locale file using the approach shown here https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/config-files/ making it as a custom config? Or is there a better approach?

[rough drift]

your main class has a method called "getConfig()" use it

[willow widget]

yeah that's for config but I want a side file as messages.yml

So I can have messages.yml and config.yml

[rough drift]

you can create a new yamlconfiguration

Configuration myOtherConfig = new YamlConfiguration() and some other stuff iirc

wops forgot new there

waay to used to kt

[willow widget]

any tutorials or something for that? xd

idk what would it be the "other stuff" lol

[rough drift]

its literally like 3 lines of code

[vocal cloud]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/config-files/

[willow widget]

oh lol

[willow widget]

XD

[willow widget]

@vocal cloud

[tardy delta]

creating files?

[willow widget]

is that a yes then? lmao

[vocal cloud]

Well it's not my fault I tab in and out

[willow widget]

Basically I just want to work with a locale file as lots of other plugins do to have customizable messages but idk if the correct approach is using a custom config file as my locale file

[pulsar path]

how to get the entity a player is looking at?

[tardy delta]

i'm doing it like thishttps://github.com/FourteenBrush/MagmaBuildNetwork/blob/main/src/main/java/io/github/FourteenBrush/MagmaBuildNetwork/utils/enums/Lang.java

[willow widget]

ty will check it out

[tardy delta]

you dont have to use an enum it was just the easiest way in my case

[vocal cloud]

Traditionally locales are done with JSON. You could do it with YAML as well though.

[tardy delta]

its easier with yaml

[quaint mantle]

glassMeta.addEnchant(Enchantment.DURABILITY, 1, false);```

[willow widget]

wut? where? every plugin I've seen use yaml locales xd

[quaint mantle]

Why would this produce a Nullpointer?

[vocal cloud]

Minecraft does it with JSON files for example

[tardy delta]

meh i miss the c# @"\take this " text\."

[willow widget]

oh yeah but in the plugin context I've never seen it

[tardy delta]

json file would be possible too just change the lang constructor to use a json file in my example

[quaint mantle]

It uses properties...

[tender shard]

yeah because server admins loooove json

[lavish hemlock]

Minecraft no longer uses properties anywhere afaik

[tender shard]

because they aren't meant to be edited by anyone

[lavish hemlock]

Lang files are replaced with JSON now.

[tardy delta]

maybe something to consider

[tender shard]

imho EVERYTHING that's configurable should not be done in json because it's so easy to mess up the syntax

just use yaml for translations

[lavish hemlock]

TOML is the way to go 😎

[tardy delta]

if i'm not using (de)serialisation, is gson something?

[willow widget]

agreed, json gets confused and even more if you're not used to it

[willow widget]

DOCX >>>> Any type file

[tender shard]

yeah and spigot.yml, paper.yml, etc are all yaml anyway so every admin is expected to know how it works 🙂

[calm whale]

hello, I'm trying to implements ProtocolLib with maven but my var protocolManager is null and I don't know why:```java
@Override
public void onLoad(){
instance = this;
protocolManager = ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager();

}```
Yes:

• The maven dependency is correctly configured
• The jar is installed on the server
• My plugin.yml has ProtocolLib as dependence

[tardy delta]

oh no protocollib

look at the implementation of #getProtocolManager i'd say

[tender shard]

wait for onEnable

[tardy delta]

why that tho

[tender shard]

all plugins first call onLoad, then all plugins call onEnable

[willow widget]

onLoad -> dependencies -> onEnable ??

[tender shard]

no

e.g. if you have A, B and C as dependy, and D is your plugin:

[tardy delta]

A, B, C, D :)

[tacit drift]

dependencies will be loaded before onEnable

[tender shard]

A.onLoad
C.onLoad
B.onLoad
D.onLoad
A.onEnable
C.onEnable
B.onEnable
D.onEnable

[willow widget]

holly how did you write all that so quick? XD
