If you use paper, use the slf4j logger, it is far better than any other logger

Sadly bukkit does not directly expose it

(though you can just copy&paste the method that obtains the logger, it should work the same regardless)

[boreal sparrow]

how do u change gamemode

[opal juniper]

the sout catcher is good

[tardy delta]

player.setGamemode?

[opal juniper]

stops stupid plugins printing error messages without you knowing where from

[boreal sparrow]

thnx

[opal juniper]

anyways you can disable it

-Dio.papermc.paper.suppress.sout.nags=true

[boreal sparrow]

in setgamemode() what comes in ()

public static long getChunkKey(final Chunk chunk) {
    return ((long)chunk.getX() < 32) | (chunk.getZ() & 0xFFFFFFFFL);
}

This returns a chunkkey for an x&z coord but is there a way to include the world?

[quiet ice]

Not without using BigDecimal or something like that

[tardy delta]

<<?

[opal juniper]

or cast it to a string and concatenate the name of the world 😈

then fix it yourself

[quiet ice]

Then use cuberite, supports 1.8 - 1.12 --- no plugins needed!

[white frost]

but 1.18 doesnt support 1.17 in ViaVersion

cancel player hunger (they should not be able to regen just not run out of sprint)

[tardy delta]

are you a cat object?

[quiet ice]

@opal juniper You could reduce the amount of bits used to store the x/z coords and use it to store a hashed version of the UUID, but you will only have access to like 6 or so bits for that (if you do not make use of compromises), so eh

[onyx fjord]

[onyx fjord]

@white frost did the bot delete your message?

[white frost]

yeah

[quiet ice]

If you downloaded your 1.8 version from the source I think you downloaded it from, you might have been running a server with a critical security exploit

[onyx fjord]

then it means that site is malicious

dont use it

?jar

[undone axle]

"Cant you just send the Spigot jar?"
  No, we can't. It's illegal to distribute Mojang code, meaning that you have to use BuildTools to build the Spigot jar.

[onyx fjord]

running buildtools is as easy as running the server

[quiet ice]

Or well, not malicious malicious, just that noone can truely verify whether it is safe to use

[onyx fjord]

just takes a bit of time

[onyx fjord]

hashes are different

[quiet ice]

I ran a bytecode differential on the jars and there were no notable differences outside of a few lambda names being different

Just once though

[onyx fjord]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quiet ice]

So I cannot say that all are not malicious, just that a single jar from a single provider was clean (except if it used exploits in the zip protocol to hide some classes)

Did you define the command in the plugin.yml?

[boreal sparrow]

how do i change gamemode of player in a playerevent (death event to be specific)

[quiet ice]

I'd use player respawn event

[boreal sparrow]

hmm good idea

[quiet ice]

though idk if it makes a difference

[boreal sparrow]

nah

the thing is that gamemode change is non static so help lmao

[hollow bluff]

event.getPlayer() or event.getEntity().getPlayer(), depending on what event and just use setGamemode

[boreal sparrow]

hmm ill try

[hollow bluff]

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

[worldly ingot]

event.getEntity().getPlayer() is redundant. If you can call getPlayer(), you probably have a Player

[boreal sparrow]

isnt there a way to change player gamemode on death/respawn

[real palm]

Hey everyone 👋

I need some help regarding BuildTools.

The console showed me, when powering up the server, my current build is outdated. Thought, fine, time to update.
After building the new Jar, BuildTools ran into issues while compiling the code I guess.
So I deleted the BuildTools.jar and re-downloaded it, gave it the appropiate permissions which needs it and re-ran it again. Same issue.
Error with compiling.

The Log is here: https://pastebin.com/kAZSw6pK

[quiet ice]

do what?

PluginMessagingChannels

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/bukkit-bungee-plugin-messaging-channel/

[ornate heart]

Re-wrote some of the conversation api stuff to my liking. Is this considered "clean" or is it overengineered?

[quiet ice]

looks good to me

[boreal sparrow]

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerRespawn(PlayerRespawnEvent event){

for (Player onlinePlayer : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
onlinePlayer.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "The Hunter Now Has " + kills + " Kills!");
onlinePlayer.playSound(onlinePlayer.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_ENDERMAN_DEATH,100000 ,1);
}
}

is something wrong

becuase no work lmao

[chrome beacon]

You can't compare strings like that

Also don't use name to identify your inventory

[woeful moon]

I have a Long which stores a time in milliseconds:

Long test = 360000L;

And I'm trying to print it in HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS format.
I've tried this:

String hours = String.valueOf(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(test));
String minutes = String.valueOf(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(test));
String seconds = String.valueOf(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(test));
player.sendMessage(hours + "H " + minutes + "M " + seconds + "S");

but it doesn't subtract hours from minutes and minutes from seconds, so it'll say "1 hour 60 minutes 3600 seconds" (example) instead of "1 hour 0 minutes 0 seconds". Any ideas?

[real palm]

Perhaps doing it over the SimpleDateFormat and a custom Datestamp? 🤔

[woeful moon]

I've tried that, like with https://stackoverflow.com/a/9311087, but everything online assumes it's milliseconds since 1970 and not just milliseconds.

[real palm]

like

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
String dateTime = sdf.format(new Date(test));```

[boreal sparrow]

if i want an event player's name in a death message how would i do it

[real palm]

yeah, right ^^ I know, but assuming that string is 0 with 01.01.1970 00:00:00 and 360000 is 01.01.1970 01:00

[buoyant viper]

u can, its just bound for failure

[real palm]

"your message" + player.getName();

[boreal sparrow]

thnx

[real palm]

more like event.getView().getTitle().equalsIgnoreCase("your String to compare")) {

[boreal sparrow]

event.setDeathMessage(Player.getName(); + " was shot by hunter!");
hmm how do i do this in a death event

[buoyant viper]

be me, fuck it up completely trying to use variables to replace

[woeful moon]

this works for minutes and seconds but not for hours, hmm

(it should be 0 hours 4 minutes 57 seconds)

[real palm]

Well, I need your code completely, so I can actually see, what you want t do 🤷‍♂️

[woeful moon]

mine?

again, check this out.

[boreal sparrow]

hello how do i put someone in spectator on death pls hel[

[woeful moon]

@real palm for reference, I'm trying to make exactly this https://www.daftlogic.com/projects-convert-milliseconds-to-hours-minutes-seconds.htm

        e.getEntity().setGameMode(GameMode.SPECTATOR);
    }```

[real palm]

sigh

[boreal sparrow]

thanls

[real palm]

Yeah, I got you. did you try it also with just seconds and not millisecs?

I am already helping you, but you cant work with it - I'm not gonna write your code, you have to figure out, what I am refering to.

check, what I wrote and think, to what I could refer to in your code.

Use the PluginMessaging Channels then

When working with maven multi modules, is there a way to put the version of the parent pom into the sub modules automatically?
Because right now I have to change the version in each module to update the version number. I would like to just set the version number once.

[delicate lynx]

I think if you use the placeholder in the sub modules it works

[kind hatch]

That's the thing, you can't.

Maybe there's a work around?

[delicate lynx]

sorry it's ${revision}

that inherits the parent version

[tardy delta]

this looks stupid two times the same generic types

[kind hatch]

That doesn't seem to exist.

[delicate lynx]

what maven version you using

[kind hatch]

Is there a quick way to check?

I'm just using what the IDE provides.

Don't think I have an actual version of it installed on the system.

[delicate lynx]

open the terminal on intellij and try mvn -v maybe?

[kind hatch]

Apache Maven 3.6.3

[peak gulch]

i got same error

[tardy delta]

how are you using that method?

[peak gulch]

        try {
            Player p = (Player) sender;
            if (args.length >= 4) {
                String role = args[0];
                String roleId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
                Integer position = parseInt(args[1]);
                Bukkit.getLogger().info(position.toString());
                String prefix = args[2];
                String sufix = args[3];
                p.sendMessage(RanksAPi.createRole(roleId,role,position,prefix,sufix));
            } else {

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return true;
    }```

[tardy delta]

is it suffix or sufix?

[sacred mountain]

is there a way to detect if a player has a certain item in their inventory, and then not let them do anything? im trying to create a sort of spawn protection that requires an item(s) to be protected. Protection meaning that they cannot be damaged and they cannot placeblocks/damage other players etc

[peak gulch]

suffix XD

[tardy delta]

,sufix) in your statement

[real palm]

what is the exact sql error?

[tardy delta]

i know there is a PlayerInventory#containsAtLeast

[delicate lynx]

add this to your parent pom

<properties>
    <revision>version</revision>
  </properties>

forgot lol

[tardy delta]

idk if it works with materials or itemstacks

[peak gulch]

it just the name of the of method

[delicate lynx]

then reload project

[sacred mountain]

how would i do this with a specific meta item? like if they have a chest named §aKit Selector

[peak gulch]

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

are you sure those are the exact names of the columns?

[peak gulch]

yes

"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS roleranager(id VARCHAR(100) not null,name VARCHAR(100)," +
                "position " +
                "INT," +
                "prefix " +
                "VARCHAR(100)," +
                "sufix VARCHAR(100))");```

[tardy delta]

i think you want id as a primary key with auto_increment too

[kind hatch]

Thank you! That's exactly what I needed.

[peak gulch]

so what i should put there

[tardy delta]

why rolemanager in the message of MauriceLPs and you use roleranagar?

[kind hatch]

Care to be more specific? Help with what?

[real palm]

You have us to tell that so we can help you

[kind hatch]

Again, need to be more specific. We don't know what to look for if you don't tell us what your problem is.

[sacred mountain]

how do i check for an item in the players inventory with a specific name? with color

[tardy delta]

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS rolemanager (
  id INT AUTO_INCREMENT,
  name VARCHAR(100),
  position INT,
  prefix VARCHAR(100),
  sufix VARCHAR(100),
  PRIMARY_KEY (id)
);```
not sure if you want 100 as length too

[hasty prawn]

Build.getPlugin()

It wants some sort of parameter.

[peak gulch]

Thx

[kind hatch]

ItemMeta#getDisplayName(), check if it matches a converted color string using ChatColor#translateAlternateColorCodes();
However, if you are doing item comparisons, it's recommended that you use the PersistentDataContainer.

[tardy delta]

wha-

[hasty prawn]

Talking to Tobys

[tardy delta]

oh 😳

[sacred mountain]

My end goal is to check if a player has a 'spawn item' and give them complete protection, so they cannot pickup/drop items they cant interact and they cant be damaged etc

[tardy delta]

System.out.println 🤔

[hasty prawn]

It tells you the error.

Build.getPlugin()is not what you want to be using.

[tardy delta]

Build.getPlugin() requires an argument

[kind hatch]

Well if you use the PDC, you could set a small piece of data onto the item and just check to see if it's there when the player wants to use it.

[hasty prawn]

Inside the parenthesis...?

?learnjava @viral hazel

[undone axle]

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.

[tardy delta]

you need your plugin's instance

instead of Build.getPlugin() what it even means

[sacred mountain]

ill explain a bit more (sort of pseudocode)

if player has chest named "&aKit Selector" in inventory slot 1
then prevent player from doing anything

[tardy delta]

but it requires a parameter, what parameter

[sacred mountain]

im not sure how i would prevent the player from doing stuff, i dont wanna use like 15 eventhandlers

[tardy delta]

ah bruh Build is his main class' name

better than Main...

[tardy delta]

worldguard

or listeners otherwise ._.

[sacred mountain]

no, because worldguard cant detect if a player has an item and then applies protections

worldguard uses regions or maybe they have like some other features im unaware of

[lost matrix]

Oh you can register custom flags with worldguard 😄

[tardy delta]

i see many people calling their main class Main 🥺

[tardy delta]

listeners then thats not even much work

[kind hatch]

I'm a little confused by that. Why would you want to prevent the player from doing anything if they have a certain item in the first slot?
Are you intending for the player to right click it and then it do something? Or are you trying to check if the item just exists in that slot?

[hasty prawn]

Wdym aren't effects

[lost matrix]

Manually searching for them

[tardy delta]

i did it too 😔

😂

[sacred mountain]

its sort of like a kit protection, if they have a menu item, then they cant hit other players

?

[tardy delta]

wha-

[hasty prawn]

Well for filtering out the ones that require data, just check if getDataType returns Void.class. All the non-effect ones you'll probably have to filter out manually.

[tardy delta]

if they have a menu item in their inventory?

[sacred mountain]

yeah

[tardy delta]

cant you make the players invulnerable?

[kind hatch]

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that concept. Is it to prevent players from pvping if they accidentally pull an item out of a GUI that they aren't supposed to?

[rancid snow]

if a player logs out while I have an item of theirs in a gui, how can I return it to them while they are offline?

[sacred mountain]

prevent players from pvping and damaging/placing if they still have not selected a kit, which would mean they still have a menu item in their inventory

[tardy delta]

i guess if they join the game, a menu opens?

[kind hatch]

Ah

Ok

[sacred mountain]

no they have items in their hotbar

[tardy delta]

that they dont continue with the previous one

[sacred mountain]

and im trying to check if they have those items they cant pvp

yeah sorry im bad at explaining

its a bit of a weird plugin concept

[tardy delta]

wdym? items to choose like a server, a kit, etc?

[sacred mountain]

yep

[peak gulch]

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

[tardy delta]

so when they have that menu, they arent yet in the actual "fight arena"?

[kind hatch]

@sacred mountain What version are you making this for? I need to know before I suggest something that you might not be able to use.

[tardy delta]

did you drop the previous table? might be that

dont do if there important stuff in it

[sacred mountain]

It's 1.8, and yes before anyone hates me for it i hate coding in 1.8 too im doing it for some reasons i cant exactly explain

[rancid snow]

for particles that don't require data, you can do: ```java
Arrays.stream(Particle.values()).filter(p -> p.getDataType() == Void.class);

[tardy delta]

so when they have that menu, they arent yet in the actual "fight arena"?

[sacred mountain]

yeah

and the plugin im using doesnt seem to have the feature so im making a llightweight plugin as sort of an addon

since the plugin isnt opensource

[tardy delta]

then just store the players that are waiting in the lobby somewhere and make them invulnerable

[rancid snow]

if a player logs out while I have an item of theirs in a gui, how can I return it to them while they are offline?

[sacred mountain]

yeah its just the players are meant to drop down from the lobby into the arena so there isnt really a barrier

or a teleportation system

[tardy delta]

not?

[rancid snow]

that's not helpful, I have to return it to them

[kind hatch]

Well, that eliminates the usage of the PDC. 😦 However, the concept I have works the same.
I'd recommend putting some form of NBT on your items. That way you can modify the item and change how it looks if you need to.
Then, you will need a runnable that runs every tick or so. In that runnable, you will just check to see if the player's inventory contains an item that has that NBT in slot 1 and if they do, set them to invulnerable. Then you will need another listener to prevent them from pvping.

[tardy delta]

i would say use worldguard and make the arena a region with pvp on and disable pvp for the rest

[sacred mountain]

players would be able to drop down from the spawn without a kit then

and hit other players

without a kit

[tardy delta]

OfflinePlayer doesnt have an get inventory method

[sacred mountain]

my plugin doesnt manage the items, which is why im trying to check for the name of the item

[tardy delta]

working on players that arent online wont work

[lyric oar]

Hello, is there any way to detect a tree with spigot? I want to do something so that if a player breaks a tree, i want to know the tree location, the number of wood blocks and then break all of the tree

[tardy delta]

then set a flag to prevent them from entering the arena if they havent a permission, i would set a permission so they can enter when you choose a kit

thats how i see it

[lost matrix]

Store the items mapped to their UUID. When they log back in, give them back.

[sacred mountain]

is there a way to teleport them back if they enter the region?

like run a command

[kind hatch]

That would require the plugin to handle permissions in the first place. Which it likely doesn't

[tardy delta]

set a flag with worldguard that only a specific group can enter

"permission group"

i'm also thinking about luckperms

[sacred mountain]

wouldnt that just make the player lag back constnatly

[lost matrix]

I would just use ScoreboardTags to be honest.
When they join:
Tag them "NO_KIT"
If they choose a Kit:
Remove the tag.
When they die:
Add the tag

[sacred mountain]

since theyre falling into the arena

[tardy delta]

uhm i guess

[sacred mountain]

and not walking into it

[tardy delta]

that depends on your build

[kind hatch]

Please think this through. If you do manage to make a plugin like this, you also need to remove the permission node when they die. Otherwise, you have the same issue he is describing.

[tardy delta]

if they have to jump down probably

[tardy delta]

i know

i would do it in that way but its probably not ideal for someone else

[kind hatch]

But he doesn't. That's something that he should probably be aware of.

[tardy delta]

and you will need to use the luckperms api too.

hmm

[sacred mountain]

im tryna make them invulnerable and they cant do things/drop/pickup whilst they have an item, no matter where they are

[lost matrix]

Dont fiddle around with permissions

[tardy delta]

he will definitely need worldguard to prevent a user from entering a region

[lost matrix]

Just use the scoreboard tags

[tardy delta]

explain

[sly trout]

How do I change the spawner's type

[tardy delta]

ah instead of permission nodes?

[sly trout]

like how do i change a spawner's type in the player's inventory

[lost matrix]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/block/CreatureSpawner.html

[sacred mountain]

i have to go now, but ill see the mentions when i get back :) thanks for the help so far though

[lost matrix]

You dont

[sly trout]

noice

[lost matrix]

You can try the following:

1. get the ItemMeta of the spawner ItemStack
2. Cast it to BlockStateMeta
3. get the BlockState of the BlockStateMeta
4. Cast it to CreatureSpawner
5. set the CreatureSpawners type
6. set the BlockState back on the BlockStateMeta
7. set the BlockStateMeta back on the ItemStack

If that doesnt work then i got another workaround.

[tardy delta]

CreatureSpawner#setSpawnedType? what about that

[sly trout]

CreatureSpawner is a block

[tardy delta]

or is that when placed down?

[sly trout]

yes

[tardy delta]

ah what i thought

[sly trout]

im trying to change the itemstack

[tardy delta]

when you place it down, apply the spawn type

save it in the pdc? 🥺

[lost matrix]

ItemStacks which represent blocks that contain TileEntities posses a BlockStateMeta.
Use this

[lost matrix]

You can try the following:

1. get the ItemMeta of the spawner ItemStack
2. Cast it to BlockStateMeta
3. get the BlockState of the BlockStateMeta
4. Cast it to CreatureSpawner
5. set the CreatureSpawners type
6. set the BlockState back on the BlockStateMeta
7. set the BlockStateMeta back on the ItemStack

[kind hatch]

You can set the type on an ItemStack, it's just that it won't work in survival. However if you place it down in creative, it will have the proper data.

[sly trout]

cast it to CreatureSpawner?

[lost matrix]

What does it refer to?

[kind hatch]

The spawner.

[sly trout]

blockstate of the blockstatemeta

basicly

when i'm trying to make a spawner pickaxe

that when you breaka spawner

it gives you the right spawner

[lost matrix]

one moment...

[sly trout]

I'm trying to find a way other than storing the type in the nbt and then having a HUGE if statement and then changing the spawner when placing it down

[vocal cloud]

Huge if statement? Use a switch

[sly trout]

well

yeah

[kind hatch]

You wouldn't need a huge if statement. If you store the name of the SpawnerType or whatever it's called, you can just use Enum#value(String name) and if the name is correct, which it should be, you only have one method instead of a bunch of checks.

[sly trout]

but still would be ugly

[tardy delta]

nah

[sly trout]

wasn't for that one

[tardy delta]

just EntityType#valueOf

and some casts and stuff

[sly trout]

thank you !

never thought that entitytype#valueof existed

[tardy delta]

what is the block of the spawner?

does it have a tilestate?

[kind hatch]

#valueOf is a default method built into all enums. You can use it on any enum.

[tardy delta]

yes it has a tilestate

tilestate has #getPersistentDataContainer

save the entity type it spawn in string form in there?

[sly trout]

what I'm gunna do is save the spawner.getSpawnedType.toString() to the nbt of the item

[tardy delta]

nbt? why?

[sly trout]

and then on block place change the spawner spawned type to EntityType.valueof

[lost matrix]

  public static ItemStack createSpawnerItemFromBlock(Block block) {
    Material blockType = block.getType();
    if (blockType != Material.SPAWNER) {
      return null;
    }
    BlockState currentState = block.getState();
    ItemStack spawnerItem = new ItemStack(Material.SPAWNER);
    BlockStateMeta meta = (BlockStateMeta) spawnerItem.getItemMeta();
    meta.setBlockState(currentState);
    spawnerItem.setItemMeta(meta);
    return spawnerItem;
  }

  public static void setSpawnerBlockFromItemStack(ItemStack spawnerItem, Block target) {
    target.setType(Material.SPAWNER);
    if (spawnerItem.getType() != Material.SPAWNER) {
      return;
    }
    BlockStateMeta meta = (BlockStateMeta) spawnerItem.getItemMeta();
    CreatureSpawner spawnerState = (CreatureSpawner) meta.getBlockState();
    CreatureSpawner currentState = (CreatureSpawner) target.getState();
    currentState.setSpawnedType(spawnerState.getSpawnedType());
    currentState.setDelay(spawnerState.getDelay());
    currentState.update(true);
  }

[tardy delta]

doesnt my method works?

[sly trout]

i didnt quite understand your method

D:

tilestate?

[tardy delta]

a block that hosts a tile entity

at a location

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/block/TileState.html

[sly trout]

oh yes

yes my bad

my memory

is dum

ik what tile entity is

[tardy delta]

7smile, would it work?

setting the entity type in string format there

nvm

[sly trout]

?

[tardy delta]

im dead it doesnt work when inside inventory

use his way

[sly trout]

yes his way makes a lot more sense

it was confusing when he explained it but i understand it perfectly now

[tardy delta]

it doesnt, i was misinterpreting it

[sly trout]

his way doesnt work now?

[lost matrix]

idk if my approach works. Just threw it together in a min

[sly trout]

doesnt seem to be working

[lost matrix]

Let me check

[tardy delta]

do something with this
return meta.getPersistentDataContainer().has(IS_INVISIBLE_KEY, PersistentDataType.BYTE);

sec

IS_INVISIBLE_KEY = new NamespacedKey(this, "invisible");

i guess idk

you need an itemstack with material itemframe

get the itemmeta and the persistent data container from it and apply the namespaced key

ItemStack itemFrame = new ItemStack(Material.ITEM_FRAME);
itemFrame.getItemMeta().getpersistentDataContainer().set(new NameSpacedKey(plugin, PersistentDataType.STRING, "invisible"));

idk if it can be chained but i hope it helps

oh you need to set the meta again

its just about knowing that it uses a namespacedkey

https://github.com/tiffany352/InvisibleItemFrames/blob/main/src/main/java/com/tiffnix/invisibleitemframes/InvisibleItemFrames.java

[sly trout]

if(e.getBlock().getType() == Material.SPAWNER) {
CreatureSpawner creatureSpawner = (CreatureSpawner) e.getBlock();

it gives me an exception

java.lang.ClassCastException: class

there should not be any exceptions for that cuz i verify that it is a creture spawner

[tardy delta]

does creaturespawner extends/ implements block?

[sly trout]

yes

CreatureSpawner is a ? blockstate ? ..

but CreatureSpawner does not extends BlockState

[maiden thicket]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/block/BlockState.html

[sly trout]

ayo

[maiden thicket]

it extends TileState which extends BlockState

[sly trout]

oh

alright

thanks

ill try

[rustic bloom]

Hey, I have the following problem. I'm trying to connect to an external MySQL database in my plugin, but I cant seem to execute the Command through the command Class (implementing CommandExecutor). If i try to send a request to the database via a public static void main() outside of the class it works fine, but otherwise im getting a "Communication link failure" when I try to execute the command in MC /command.

[lost matrix]

Could be anything. Did you run the java application on a different machine?

[rustic bloom]

Trying it rn

[sacred mountain]

hello! did anyone find a solution to what im trying to do

[sacred mountain]

to this question

[chrome beacon]

With "them" I assume you mean players

All you need to do is listen to the event of each thing you want to prevent and cancel it

[sacred mountain]

only if they have an item with a specific name in their inventory

can i put event handlers in an IF statement

or should i loop it to constantly check for the item idk

[chrome beacon]

No put if statement inside of event

So

Event:
If has item then:
Cancel

[sacred mountain]

oh yea true

ok

how do i check for an item with a specific name?

like if i wanted to check for e.g.

Chest with name '&aTest Item'

[chrome beacon]

Loop items in inventory:
If item has ItemMeta:
getItemMeta.hasDisplayName:
getDisplayName

[lethal knoll]

Does anyone know what the player.setTime() will do? Will it actually change the day-night cylcle for the player to the chosen time? I'm looking for the best way to kick players from a bed

[chrome beacon]

Time seems like a bad idea

Try damaging or teleporting the player instead

[hoary pawn]

is there a right way for a cmd to say something to the executer

[lethal knoll]

a teleport seems a good solution

If I teleport the player to his current location, that would also kick him/her from the bed?

[chrome beacon]

I think so

[lethal knoll]

Alright, worth a shot

Thanks

[sacred mountain]

idk the events for that

like what eventhandler

[chrome beacon]

?jd-s I recommend learning to use this

[solemn gulch]

what jvm version do i have to use for 1.18 plugins

[brave sparrow]

17

[tender shard]

No

you can use any version you like

I always compile against 1.8 so that 1.16 people can use my plugins too

still works fine on 1.18 servers with java 17

java is backwards compatible (in 99.9% of cases)

[quiet ice]

The compiler needs to be j17+

[tender shard]

no

see? you can easily compile a 1.18 plugin with java 8

[eternal night]

mostly because bukkit API is still on java 8

[sly trout]

how do you remove an item from player's inventory

like inv.remove() removes every item

i wanna remove 1

[delicate lynx]

get the index of the item and remove it that way

you can remove stuff via index instead of removing all itemstacks of that material

[sly trout]

okay but if they got 54 of them

i wanna remove 1 only

[delicate lynx]

get the index, set the quantity of the item - 1

[eternal night]

or you just create the item stack with amount 1 and call https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/Inventory.html#removeItem(org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack...)

[rancid beacon]

Hello guys, how can I define block as Concrete, and then get color of this concrete?

            if (block.getType() != Material.AIR) {
                if (block.getType().toString().endsWith("CONCRETE")) {
                    Location newL = new Location(world, block.getX() - 1, block.getY(), block.getZ());
                    newL.getBlock().setType(block.getType());
                    block.setType(Material.AIR);
                    
                    
                    // and here, how can I define block as Concrete? Cause something like "Concrete = (Concrete) block.getType();" don't work, cause there's no "Concrete"
                    
                    Idk_whats_here my_concrete = block.getType();
                    Bukkit.getLogger().info(my_concrete.getColor());
                    
                    tak++;
                }
                Location newL = new Location(world, block.getX() - 1, block.getY(), block.getZ());
                newL.getBlock().setType(block.getType());
                block.setType(Material.AIR);
                tak++;
            }

(i'm using spigot 1.18.1)

[glossy scroll]

does Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer work if the player has never joined the server before?

[tall dragon]

no

[candid galleon]

@rancid beacon it's not a blockstate, each material has its own color

[rancid beacon]

so how can i get color of block?

[tall dragon]

seems like an xy problem

[candid galleon]

it actually might be a block state one sec

[tall dragon]

https://gyazo.com/267e2d77b35f910acf64bac078e25cd5

it aint

[candid galleon]

oh neat

was looking at and outdated javadoc

[delicate lynx]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/how-to-get-enchantment-from-namespacedkey.332840/

[tender shard]

it does work

[tender shard]

wrong

[tall dragon]

that does work?

[tender shard]

yes

Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer even is annotated with @ NotNull

[tall dragon]

well guess i learned something today then

[tall dragon]

does it use mojang api to get then?

[tender shard]

nope

an OfflinePlayer is just a wrapper for the UUID, basically

BUT

OfflinePlayer#getName() will return null if the player never joined before

🙂

[tall dragon]

ah i see

alright thanks

[tender shard]

np 🙂

oh wait

the first method I sent, getOfflinePlayer(String name) does indeed to a web request

but the UUID one doesn't

[tall dragon]

yea

to get the uuid

probably

[tender shard]

exactly

This method may involve a blocking web request to get the UUID for the given name.

[rancid beacon]

do you have any idea how i can get the color of this block then?

[tender shard]

for what?

[tall dragon]

why do you want the color of the block

[candid galleon]

Check its block type

[rancid beacon]

to place a new concrete block of the same color as the detected concrete block

[tender shard]

public static String getColor(Material mat) {
        if(mat.name().endsWith("_CONCRETE")) {
            return mat.name().split("_")[0];
        }
        return null;
    }

returns null for everything that's not concrete, or for uncolored concrete

or "RED" or "PURPLE" etc

[rancid beacon]

oh, thanks

[tall dragon]

LIGHT_BLUE_CONCRETE :D

[tender shard]

oh

you're right

yes @rancid beacon

let me correct the code

[rancid beacon]

okay

[glossy scroll]

Will it work for skull owners? I'm assuming yes?

[candid galleon]

If you’re just replacing the block then just save the block type

No need to manually check or assign

[tender shard]

    public static String getColor(Material mat) {
        if(mat.name().contains("_CONCRETE")) {
            return mat.name()
                    .replace("_CONCRETE_POWDER","")
                    .replace("_CONCRETE","");
        }
        return null;
    }

this works

[proven river]

I didnt know where to ask this so I'll ask it here.
If anyone has messed around with textures? i'm trying to make my bossbar invisible (the white one) so I can display text without the bar but
whenever I remove the whitebar from the image it goes onto the black bar for some reason?
I've removed all of the bossbars and that works but its not exactly viable for what I want to do.

[quaint mantle]

no, to get textures it'd have to do a web request to mjang api

hehehehe paper has player profile api

[tender shard]

the client does the web request

iirc

[rancid beacon]

but if for example it detects concrete block with lime color then if I define new concrete block as detected_block.getType() then it will be white, not lime color

[rancid beacon]

okay, i will try

[quaint mantle]

uhm i doubt

you kinda, put base64 in skull's nbt

[tender shard]

I'm pretty sure about that though because all my servers are behind a firewall and skull textures work fine for me

I only allowed 25000...25999

outgoing

[glossy scroll]

the reason why I ask is because on a SP world, you can set the skull owner with just Name & UUID

[quaint mantle]

SP?

[glossy scroll]

i tried digging through the code to see how they get the texture

singleplayer

[quaint mantle]

ah

[glossy scroll]

and yea you're right

since it doesnt get the name of the player

the server cant fill in the texture

not sure why it needs both

[tender shard]

the server doesn't need it

the client needs it

because as I said, the client is the one querying the texture IIRC

and ONLY the name is required IIRC

you can use a random UUID, if you set the correct name, the client will get the texture by name

(I might be wrong though, that's just how I remember how it used to work)

[candid galleon]

It’s possible

Gotta use NMS I believe

[tender shard]

sure it's possible to set custom textures

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/JeffLib/blob/master/core/src/main/java/de/jeff_media/jefflib/SkullUtils.java

here's my class for custom heads etc

WHY

THE FUCK

does recipe not implement Keyed

I know why. because ALL recipe subclasses implement Keyed EXCEPT for MerchantRecipe

but

why doesn't MerchantRecipe implement it too

@sullen marlin why doesn't MerchantRecipe implement Keyed D:

removing ones plugin's recipes is more complicated then it should be imho lol

    private void removeOldRecipes() {
        Iterator<Recipe> it = Bukkit.recipeIterator();
        NamespacedKey dummy = new NamespacedKey(this,"dummy");
        while(it.hasNext()) {
            Recipe next = it.next();
            if(!(next instanceof Keyed)) continue;
            Keyed keyed = (Keyed) next;
            if(!keyed.getKey().getNamespace().equals(dummy.getNamespace())) continue;
            it.remove();
        }
    }

[shy wolf]

any one?

[terse raven]

you cant

i think

[shy wolf]

me too

[terse raven]

i mean just resend the Inventory

if it was a chest

but if its the inventory, then i think there is no way to force open it

[shy wolf]

than it spam my console with errors

[terse raven]

as the inventory is, if i call correctly, handled completely client sided

and you cant force open it or listen for it to open

[hasty prawn]

Delay it by a tick

[tender shard]

You cannot cancel inventorycloseevent

[shy wolf]

how

[hasty prawn]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

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

[tender shard]

show your code

[shy wolf]

public class OnPlayerCloseInventory implements Listener {

    @EventHandler
    public void Event(InventoryCloseEvent e){
        if(e.getView().getTitle().equals("Pick Nation")){
            if(PlayerData.HasPlayerData(e.getPlayer().getUniqueId())){
                if(PlayerData.GetPlayerData(e.getPlayer().getUniqueId()).IsInNation == false){
                    e.getPlayer().openInventory(e.getView());
                }
            } else {

            }
        }
    }
}```

[hasty prawn]

Yeah delay the openInventory call using schedulers

[terse raven]

any one?

[shy wolf]

i dont know about npc's stuff

[terse raven]

rip

[hasty prawn]

I do, just a sec.

I remember having the same issue. Need to look back at how I fixed it.

[tender shard]

do it 1 tick later

[hasty prawn]

mfw smh

[sly trout]

in PlayerBucketFillEvent does e.getItemStack() not give you the actual item stack

because the item stack has nbt data

but when i check for it

it doesnt work

[tender shard]

                        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(yourPlugin, () -> {
                            e.getPlayer().openInventory(e.getView());
                        }, 1);

and

PLEASE

USE PROPER VARIABLE NAMES

"e" is NOT a proper variable name

------------------> https://blog.jeff-media.com/give-your-variables-descriptive-names-ffs/

[hasty prawn]

Okay yep, you need to delay the connection.a(new PacketPlayOutEntityHeadRotation(npc, getConvertedRotation(npc.getBukkitYaw()))); by a tick.

[crude estuary]

Are Still People using e for Event?

[hasty prawn]

You can just use runTask for 1 tick delays btw

[tender shard]

80% of people do that

[crude estuary]

Just why

[tender shard]

no

[hasty prawn]

Yes 😄

[tender shard]

runTask runs it on the same tick

[hasty prawn]

Nope

It's next tick

[tender shard]

runTask runs on the same tick

but after everything else was done

but yeah, runTask would work too

[tender shard]

oh

you're right

sorry

[hasty prawn]

I mean it's not like it really matters

[tender shard]

it doesn't, but at least I learnt sth new today :3

it prints 1 and 2

not 3

[terse raven]

whats the comment hotkey for intellij again

;-;

[hasty prawn]

Ctrl + /

[hasty prawn]

Print your itemstack before checking and see what it says. My guess is that your ItemStack just doesn't have that key.

[sly trout]

that's what a thout

now its gone

[sly trout]

getItemStack returns a bucket everytime

[hasty prawn]

Problem solved!

[sly trout]

a normal bucket

[lavish hemlock]

Lmao yes

[hasty prawn]

Lol send what you're doing now Mjanko

[sly trout]

i'm not even using a bucket and it returns a BUCKET

normal bucket

i'm using a salmon bucket

[hasty prawn]

You know you're checking PlayerBucketEmptyEvent right?

Of course it's always empty lol

[terse raven]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

it works

[hasty prawn]

[terse raven]

i was using npc.getBukkitYaw

when i should be using npc.dn

[hasty prawn]

Ahhh

[sly trout]

okay then what should i use @hasty prawn

[hasty prawn]

You should switched to remapped Mjanko it's going to make working with NMS a million times easier

[terse raven]

thank you very much

[sly trout]

ur welcome

[terse raven]

i tried that 3 times now

and i was always defeated by it

[hasty prawn]

PlayerBucketFillEvent, if you're using trying to listen for when you fill it.

[sly trout]

no im trying to listen for when i place it down

[hasty prawn]

[sly trout]

im making a dolphin bucket

[hasty prawn]

You can only get the material of the bucket used before

Not the itemstack

[sly trout]

that sucks cuz im trying to get the nbt of the item

used

[patent horizon]

how can you remove a value from a hashmap?

i thought it was hashmap.remove(key), but i dont see the option show up

[lavish hemlock]

. . .

[patent horizon]

wait is the thing on the right for return values?

[lavish hemlock]

yes

remove (with no value argument) returns the value that was removed from the map

[patent horizon]

why would it return ConfigManager if i was just removing a value

oh

so i can just ignore the return value

[lavish hemlock]

yes

remove with a value argument returns whether or not the value was actually removed

[cold tartan]

is there a way to add CanBreak to an itemstack?

[lunar forge]

create own itemstack class

that extends itemstack

Or idk if you can add flags to an itemstack, i think its possible

[worldly ingot]

Not through the API. I wrote a PR for it a while ago but it never went through because I was too busy

It's one of those things nobody ever finalized API for

[tender shard]

what is CM?

[patent horizon]

a hashmap

[tender shard]

then it'd have a remove method

it's something else

[patent horizon]

queue the naming convention comments

[patent horizon]

that's what i was thinking

[tender shard]

CM is NOT a map

[lavish hemlock]

well is CM a static final variable? :)

[tender shard]

please show your definition of CM?

[patent horizon]

public Map<Player, ConfigManager> CM = new HashMap<>();

[tender shard]

oh wait I'm stupid

your screenshot even shows that it has a remove method

sooo

[lavish hemlock]

cm*

[tender shard]

where's the problem? 😛

[patent horizon]

there isnt one

[lavish hemlock]

There was no problem he misunderstood what remove meant because of the return type being on the far right of IDEA's code completion.

[tender shard]

oh ok

[patent horizon]

no i misunderstood that the remove event returned a vlue and mistaked it for a different method

[lavish hemlock]

That's what I said

[patent horizon]

after 4 tries

yes

[little elm]

In plugin.yml, for the command usage section, what's the convention for optional command arguments? eg how to communicate that the player in "/kill <player>" is optional?

[lavish hemlock]

I mean there's not really a convention

you could say uhhh

/kill (<player>)?

[little elm]

gotcha maybe like uh "/kill <optional: player>"?

[lavish hemlock]

that could work too

[little elm]

thanks!

if anyone has better ideas pls lmk lol

[lost matrix]

Usually its communicated like this:
/command <argument> <argument> [optional] [optional]

[lost matrix]

Pls dont expose data structures

[tall dragon]

i just use [] as optional and <> as required, and have an info message above my usage telling them this

for example

https://gyazo.com/cc2cfa3e70a960cfe94abbcdd7a86d9d

[lavish hemlock]

Hi, I'm using Vault in my server, and now I've added it as a Dependency in my plugin. But it won't work as it can't find Vault in my plugins folder orso. I've exactly this code in my plugin, https://github.com/MilkBowl/VaultAPI. And yes, I've added Vault in my plugin.yml. And Vault is in my server

[lost matrix]

Does vault come up if you type /pl ?

[lunar forge]

Yes

I'm using 1.17

How does this "won't work as it can't find Vault" manifest?

well sounds like vault is either not in your deps or you misconfigured your plugin.yml

[lunar forge]

depend:
  - Vault```

[eternal night]

and you are 100% sure it is loaded as a plugin

with that name ?

Paste your class that checks for vault pls

[lunar forge]

What do you mean?

[eternal night]

like, the plugin is running at runtime in your server

and that is its name

also what smile sad

[lunar forge]

    private boolean setupEconomy() {
        if (getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("Vault") == null) {
            return false;
        }
        RegisteredServiceProvider<Economy> rsp = getServer().getServicesManager().getRegistration(Economy.class);
        if (rsp == null) {
            return false;
        }
        econ = rsp.getProvider();
        return econ != null;
    }```

And in my onEnable:
```java
        if (!setupEconomy() ) {
            System.out.println("Disabled due to no Vault dependency found!");
            getServer().getPluginManager().disablePlugin(Main.getInstance());
            return;
        }```

[lost matrix]

Do you have a plugin installed that provides a Economy.class?

[lunar forge]

Something like Essentials you mean?

[lost matrix]

Sure

[lunar forge]

Do I need to do that?

bruh

[lost matrix]

RegisteredServiceProvider<Economy> rsp = getServer().getServicesManager().getRegistration(Economy.class);

This ovsly returns null if there is no plugin that actually provides the Economy service

[proud forum]

hello, i am making a toggle command that changes a boolean to true or false to use in my listeners class, is there a more optimized or better way to do this?
main class:```java
public final class Main extends JavaPlugin {
public static boolean toggle = false;
@Override
public void onEnable() {
System.out.println("Hello world!");

    getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new BreakBlock(), this);
    getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new MobSpawns(), this);

}

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

}```

command class: ```java
@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("on")) {
if (sender instanceof Player)
Main.toggle = true;
} else if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("off")) {

  if (sender instanceof Player)
    Main.toggle = false;
}

}```

[lost matrix]

Dont use public for this and dont use static

[proud forum]

alrighty

[lavish hemlock]

private is better in most situations for fields

public is mainly reserved for constants like public static final CONSTANT_VALUE = 6;

[proud forum]

okay, beginner to java and spigot stuff so thanks for the help!

[lost matrix]

Write a class like:

public class PluginOptions {

  private boolean toggled = false;

  public boolean isToggled() {
    return toggled;
  }

  public void toggle() {
    this.toggled = !this.toggled;
  }

}

Then have one single instance of it and pass it to other classes that need it.

[proud forum]

like this?

command class:```java
package me.mrhonbon.opmobs;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

public class MobSpawnCommand implements CommandExecutor {
private boolean isToggled;

@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
    if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("on")) {
        if (sender instanceof Player)
            sender.sendMessage("Overpowered Mobs has been enabled.");
            this.isToggled = true;
    } else if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("off")) {
        if (sender instanceof Player)
            sender.sendMessage("Overpowered Mobs has been disabled.");
            this.isToggled = false;

    }
}

}```

[lost matrix]

Nope. This makes it really hard to share the "isToggled" property

You need a shared instance.

[sterile token]

I think he need an Object

[ivory sleet]

[lost matrix]

I dont... what? Thats basically the same

[lost matrix]

Take a look at the PluginOptions class ive posted above.
You would create a single instance of that class in your onEnable,
then pass the same instance to your Listener and to your CommandExecutor.
Now both have the same instance. So if one changes the state of this instance
then everyone also possessing this instance will be able to see those changes.

[proud forum]

ohhhhh okay i think i get what you're sayin

[sterile token]

  public class PlayerOption {   
    
    private static Map<UUID, Option> options = new HashMap<>();
    
    public static Option getOptions(UUID uuid) {
        return options.computeIfAbsent(uuid, option -> new Option(true));
    }
    
    public static class Option {
        
        private boolean property;
        
        public Option(boolean property) {
            this.property = property;
        }

        public boolean getProperty() { return property; }
    }
}

There you have a simple example

[ivory sleet]

What the

[proud forum]

wha

[ivory sleet]

Verano you sober or not? (Just good to know)

[proud forum]

LOL

[ivory sleet]

Idk I think he was drunk once here before

So asking out of curiosity just to make sure

[sterile token]

Im depressed only

[lost matrix]

Yes. I would advise you just to ignore that for now. I think you got the idea right.
Implement it and then update us.

[proud forum]

i will try my hardest, bare with me 😁

[sterile token]

What the problem with that?? Its a simple Object and Object Manager

[ivory sleet]

What’s a manager?

The term manager is very vague, especially in enterprise

[sterile token]

Let say the one which contains the Map, allow you to add/remove the object

[ivory sleet]

So a repository?

[sterile token]

Yeah

I think that the correct term

[ivory sleet]

Not a problem but the Option class is just a glorified Boolean?

[sterile token]

He?

Explain again

My brains has exploded

[ivory sleet]

I mean you could literally use sth like the type Boolean instead

[lost matrix]

This is static abuse. Your Option class is also just a weak wrapper for a primitive which makes it virtually useless

[lavish hemlock]

Yeah the Option type doesn't say anything about the actual option

Just whether or not it's true

[sterile token]

I dont use like that. I have separate the Repository and the Object

[lavish hemlock]

And that also means there's only one option for a player, which is not extensible.

[sterile token]

But for example i doit together

[lavish hemlock]

Don't write useless code just for the sake of it existing :p

[sterile token]

Why one option?? You can add more things to the Object 🤔

So let forget he already solve his problem. Any scoreboard api recommendation without Reclections i hate them

Every scoreboard api on github works with them i dk why

[lost matrix]

Should be more of a Map<UUID, List<Option>>
Which is bad because nested collections.
So you would write a new class "OptionDomain"
and then use a Map<UUID, OptionDomain>

[sterile token]

Yeah

How i use man

BTWW

Look

Omg

[lavish hemlock]

Because it's a map

of UUID -> Option

a single option

only one option

you'd need a list of Options

but then you'd not be able to differentiate the options since it's just a wrapper around a boolean

[ivory sleet]

I’d say nested collections might be fine if they stay strictly within the concretion smile, thoughts?

[lavish hemlock]

Multimap is still nicer than nested collections

[ivory sleet]

Ya

[lavish hemlock]

I would recommend using Guava in your plugins since Minecraft depends on it anyway

[lost matrix]

Hm. Sure if they are not exposed and you need a more generic approach (if you wanted to use ArrayLists and LinkedLists for example)
then nesting collections might be fine.

[lavish hemlock]

anyway the better solution is like

Map<UUID, Map<String, Boolean>>

[ivory sleet]

Yeah, probably depends very much on scenario, just need to hear someone else agree upon it :>

[sterile token]

Its exactly the same, the only things as an example i do it all together

[sterile token]

This i what i use for my Global Core

[lavish hemlock]

Well... here it actually makes sense.

[sterile token]

Omg

I love how people critice and them apologice

😂

[lavish hemlock]

With the previous example the addition of an Option was legitimately pointless and just served to add noisiness.

I am not apologizing, I'm saying that this is a better use case for a custom DTO.

[lost matrix]

Why do you have protected final fields + public getters...

[sterile token]

Can i take your SocreboardAPI from gth? I cannot understand how to create one

[lavish hemlock]

I don't have a scoreboard API

[sterile token]

Oh :(

You just depressed more than i am 😮‍💨

[ivory sleet]

Field access for subclasses = speed 🤡

[lavish hemlock]

He always does it though

[lost matrix]

Yes. Clown face indeed.

[lavish hemlock]

It's not just when a class should be inherited

He just never uses private

[sterile token]

I agree

[ivory sleet]

neva’ 😔

[lavish hemlock]

Yeah, I agree too that that is in fact what you do

But I don't agree that it's a good idea

[sterile token]

Someone here told me that its not wrong

Cuz it intended to use to protect field access

[lavish hemlock]

It's not wrong for classes that are designed to be inherited

It is terribly wrong for classes that should never be inherited or are designed not to be (like data classes)

[sterile token]

MMM

I wont change more than 40 classes only for that yet

[ivory sleet]

I mean usually we want to code defensively by restricting ourselves and surrounding ourselves with + by abstractions Verano

[lavish hemlock]

You should change the way you code :p

[sterile token]

wHAT do you recommend for project?

Multi module?

[ivory sleet]

Module as?

[sterile token]

Cuz it will have 2 plugins Bungee side and Spigot side

[lavish hemlock]

You'd want 3 modules probably

[sterile token]

So i would have to create a core and them implement it on the sides right?

[ivory sleet]

Multiple gradle modules? Multiple java modules? Or just multiple layers?

[lavish hemlock]

common, spigot, and bungee

[sterile token]

Allright thanks

[lavish hemlock]

that is not what "provocation" means

[brave sparrow]

I mean

It is one thing it means

[ivory sleet]

[sterile token]

That what google yet translator said

[brave sparrow]

But not what you meant

[lavish hemlock]

action or speech that makes someone annoyed or angry, especially deliberately.

[brave sparrow]

That’s one definition

There’s also things like a provocative image

Etc

A provocative gesture

[lavish hemlock]

well I don't think "provocative" applies just to sex

[brave sparrow]

He’s running everything through a translator

[lavish hemlock]

it can also mean just to

provoke

[brave sparrow]

So sometimes he gets the wrong definition

[lavish hemlock]

to elicit a response from someone

[lost matrix]

[lavish hemlock]

be it HORNY, angry, sad, etc.

[brave sparrow]

I understand that

I’m just saying that’s where he’s coming from

Well truth be told, I was once in your position myself, so I know how it feels

[hasty prawn]

We all were at some point

[proud forum]

idk how the law is in your state, but in my state in a round about, there are no lights to tell drivers when to stop and when walkers can walk, drivers simply have to yield to people crossing

[lavish hemlock]

Humans are just moving speedbumps

[proud forum]

which i think is kinda stupid

[sterile token]

Does mongo have support for java driver or at least a channel for asking about their driver?

[lost matrix]

Upsert updates every part that has changed. It can be optimized by the db.
Set just ingores old values and writes everything into the collection.

Supposedly not all learn oop by java but yeah mostly speaking
