[craggy verge]

Serious question, Is it best to know Plug-in development as a server owner? ik it sounds dumb

[vocal cloud]

I mean it's a good thing to know if you're solo so you can verify code but most servers have a dev on team to handle this kind of stuff.

[quaint mantle]

It is always cool to take full control of your server

[boreal sparrow]

i think this should work...
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerDamage(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event){
if(event.getDamager() != hunter){
event.setCancelled(true);
}

[quasi patrol]

Ay my favorite. Another error, but I think I solved it.

[azure osprey]

could someone help me with a little problem I have?

[boreal sparrow]

why do i take damage from zombies and stuff?

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerDamage(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event){
if(event.getDamager() != hunter){
event.setCancelled(true);
}

[muted sand]

How can I change a large amount of blocks quickly without any visual lag?
I used nested for loops to iterate through the blocks -> delete them
but there's just a small visual delay. Would I use nms to send the packet at once or

[azure osprey]

my problem is that the metadata seems to change when durability goes down

[quasi patrol]

Maybe for the detection set durability for the metadata of the one you are comparing the shot bow to the durability of the shot bot.

[azure osprey]

hm, ok thanks

[quasi patrol]

Did it work?

[azure osprey]

it helped inspire me to find an alternative solution

[muted otter]

i did and i dont get how to use the method, so can you just tell me how to use it?

[maiden thicket]

what's your issue

[maiden thicket]

also you left your mongodb details in the code

and your bot token

might want to delete that link

[quasi patrol]

I don’t see it?

[maiden thicket]

well you just edited it

[quasi patrol]

I fixed that to be the error message.

[maiden thicket]

oops

https://your-mom-is.taahyt.com/🌅🎙🦒🌜🥞🌅.png

ur using 2 different dependencies for JSON

stick to one

[quasi patrol]

Oh.

[maiden thicket]

iirc u can do something like

String json = EntityUtils.toString(resp.getEntity(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(json);```

i also just recommend using the java wrapper for discord

[minor otter]

anyone have a link to where I can learn about sending block breaking packets to the player

[quasi flint]

Either using NMS (thread unsafe) or using protocollib

[remote gazelle]

can i ask something about nms here?

[hardy swan]

yes

[remote gazelle]

so i want to see how vanilla minecraft handles damage by attacking
i have net.minecraft.server sources now but i don't know where it handles it

[hardy swan]

who damaged by what

[remote gazelle]

oh i was typing that

[hardy swan]

any potential event it fires?

[remote gazelle]

player -> player

[hardy swan]

^

if you know what event it fires, you just have to search the repo with that event

to see where it is fired

[remote gazelle]

oh ok wait a sec

its on the api

oh

Does anyone know the offset between the armor stand location and the armor stand head location ?

[buoyant viper]

its eyes probably at uhhh

+1.85 from base Y

[tiny wolf]

but is that the head loc?

[buoyant viper]

are ur eyes on ur head?

[quaint mantle]

well, its not, according to him

he probably has it in his chest or something

[tiny wolf]

bruh, there's more then one location on a head

...

is it in the middle of the head ?

[buoyant viper]

the eyes are a little above center of head i think

actually isnt there like a getHeight method for entities

[tiny wolf]

sorta

not really tho

[buoyant viper]

or am i yet again thinking of client methods

[young knoll]

There’s a getEyeLocation

[tiny wolf]

im aware

[buoyant viper]

i think they want entity height

bc they said offset from head to base

[nocturne aurora]

Can anyone point me to a good place to find Minecraft plugin developers for a big project?

[tiny wolf]

I want the exact offset of the head location from the stands actual position

[sage patio]

How can I get player from PrepareAnvilEvent ?

[young knoll]

Get the inventoryView and then get the viewers

There should only be one

[sage patio]

thanks

[sage patio]

so how i can check permission for that ?

its not cast able to player

[young knoll]

Inventory#getViewers returns a List<HumanEntity>

HumanEntity is 100% castable to player

[remote gazelle]

than why HumanEntity exists?

[young knoll]

Yes

[remote gazelle]

oh yeah didn't know

i mean, seriously

[young knoll]

I suppose it’s to emulate the class hierarchy in minecraft itself

[remote gazelle]

oh so there will be Player2 not just Player XD

btw HumanEntity is made by spigot not minecraft

[young knoll]

I suppose it’s to emulate the class hierarchy in minecraft itself

[drowsy helm]

pretty sure its client sided so you need the effect for it to work

[opal juniper]

give the potion effect without particles ig

or a resource pack

probably not possible then idk how it works

can’t see any mention of it on teh wiki so yeah must be client side

[quaint mantle]

humanentity prob exist for both npc and player

i guess

[young knoll]

NPCs are still players

Then can’t perform any inventory actions anyway

[sage patio]

I've registered the tab completer in the Main class, and blockedNames in Main class is a ArrayList of String

but does not work

[ivory sleet]

What does not work?

How is it supposed to work? What happens instead?

[buoyant viper]

?notworking

[undone axle]

"Does not working" is a useless statement. Please describe what exactly is not working, what you expect it to do, and what actually happens. If you get any console errors, also ?paste the entire stacktrace.

[buoyant viper]

[ivory sleet]

🙏

[sage patio]

its a tab completer

[ivory sleet]

That much even I could tell

[sage patio]

so when i press tab with 0 arguments, the plugin should return some thing a told him

[chrome beacon]

Did you register the tab completer

[sage patio]

yes

[quaint mantle]

did you call that method

just sayin 🙂

[sage patio]

yes

onEnable

[quaint mantle]

no error was found?

[sage patio]

no

just tab completes my username

[quaint mantle]

it just does not work right?

[sage patio]

i told him in tab completer class to return a list of string

but plugin returns nothing

[sage patio]

.

so ?

[hybrid spoke]

the command is an arg. the length cant be 0

[sage patio]

ow, right

[hybrid spoke]

well, not the command but everything after your space* so if you do a space, its an arg.

[sage patio]

yea, thanks

[ivory depot]

        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        String msg = e.getMessage().toLowerCase();
        e.setCancelled(true);
        for (Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            p.sendMessage("s");
            if(player.getName().toLowerCase()==msg) {
                p.performCommand("d add " + msg + "");
                p.sendMessage(Color.fix("&aYou added&6" +msg + " &ato yout plot!!"));
                GuiClick.chaton.put(p, false);
                GuiClick.addremove.put(p, "brak");
                return;
            }
            e.getPlayer().sendMessage(Color.fix("&cPlayer is offline!"));
        }``` And always this send Player is offline

[thorny python]

how can I teleport a player to a specific location on another server in same bungee network?

[ivory sleet]

use .equals(msg)

[quaint mantle]

the reason for that is == compare obj, which they are not the same, while the equals in String compare the actual string, not the object itself

[ivory depot]

okay, thanks

[quaint mantle]

i think you should go for like Bukkit.getplayer or something, then check if they are not null (and they are online, though i think you should not do that, i feel like it would be better to support offline players too) instead of that code

[ivory depot]

okey, i'll try, ty

[thorny python]

uh any idea to my problem? it seems like I need a solution which can communicate across different spigot server in some bungeecord network (without player online in target server)

[vocal cloud]

Use bungeecord to move them then teleport them from there? You can even send plugin messages if you need to using bungeecord

[thorny python]

bungee plugin message need at least one player online in both sending & receiving server iirc

so if no one was online in target server when teleport happen, the message will not delivered...

[blazing rune]

How do I add weapons to custom mobs?

[spiral light]

You could create an external socket Server-Client system that allows sending stuff to other servers

[alpine barn]

Does anyone use Ant on top of Maven, to do some specific stuff?

[lavish hemlock]

Oh btw I know this was literally like a week ago

But there is no difference

The above just makes that initializer apply to all constructors

Wow!

[lost matrix]

Not really. If i want to do specific stuff then i write a script or use gradle. What specific stuff do you have in mind?

You can also write a maven plugin

[snow crow]

for me intelij pre-installed ant

[young knoll]

I need to learn how to deploy my plugins directly to the plugins folder

Assuming that works when the server is on

[lost matrix]

You would have to shut down the server for that. Luckily spigot has a folder where you can add plugins
which will result in older versions being updated on the next server restart 😄

[young knoll]

Meh

Faster for me to just overwrite the jar manually then

[jade abyss]

Just build directly to plugins folder, and then you can reload in game

If you code your plugin correctly it shouldn't cause any issues for testing

[lost matrix]

sometimes doesnt work because of file locks

[young knoll]

Yes but then I have to hardcode my plugins folder link into the build.gradle

[agile sinew]

how to set theme in cwm?

[jade abyss]

The only time I've had a problem with this so far was when I was running jar with gui

[lost matrix]

What is cwm?

[agile sinew]

code with me

[young knoll]

I’ve decided to yeet json and properly use relational databases for my plugin

I think

[lost matrix]

I mean... if there is a reason for that then sure. But then dont dare to just use the db for persistence.

[young knoll]

I mean there isn’t really a reason to not use it

Means I can easily set up a baltop if I want to

[lost matrix]

Yeah because MongoDB has no selective queries

Or do you just want to use sql and support nothing else

[young knoll]

Probably just sql

[lost matrix]

ok then it makes more sense

[young knoll]

I doubt anyone has a real need for something else

Especially since sql has like 10 different options

[thorny python]

nosql is growing now I think

actually I think it is more flexible for minecraft plugin data storage, compare to sql option

[young knoll]

I guess, but most shared hosts don’t offer it

Well, non-local versions of it

[thorny python]

most of time minecraft plugin data just need a key-value style storage, instead of heavy features from sql xd

[young knoll]

Yeah

[quaint mantle]

I'm a SQL gigachad

non relational will never as scalable ws relational ones

[lost matrix]

You mean the other way around, right?
Non-relational scales earlier and further than relational ones.
Thats the whole premise of non-relational DBs. They scale better.

[young knoll]

I mean I’d totally go for that if it was accessible to people

But it isn’t, compared to relational anyway

[quaint mantle]

table data representation is simple af, no?

[young knoll]

I guess I should avoid stuffing the uuid in every table

And instead have a single table that connects a uuid to a simple integer I can use a foreign key

[quaint mantle]

uuid is small enough to use as key

(if you store it in binary format)

[young knoll]

Gotta look at how to do that

[quaint mantle]

1. use columns BINARY(16)
2. Serialize/Deserialize uuids to byte array with 16 length
3. statement.setBytes and resultSet.getBytes

[wet breach]

depends on the use case really. If the data being stored is not related to each other, might be better to go with a non-relational setup. But, since most people here are not storing data in capacities where they are hitting some limits it doesn't really matter too much which people go with unless they are just simply doing things purposely in the most unefficient manner possible

[lost matrix]

Agree. I dont think any minecraft server will have enough data flow to really justify going for either DB. Everything will be handled on one server
and features like sharding are not even a consideration. DBs in spigot are just used for persistence 90% of the time.

[young knoll]

What if someone wants to sync the data on two servers :p

[lost matrix]

then the db will still be on one server. And nobody will have lets say atomic operations over distributed tables.

[young knoll]

I mean ditching sql for just json is tempting

But blah idk

[lost matrix]

And if you need live syncing then those DBs are not up for the task anyways. If you want high availability + high consistency then you need
something like Redis or Hazelcast between the minecraft servers and the databases.

[young knoll]

Essentials just does yaml, CMI does SQLite and MySQL

Hmm

[quaint mantle]

Database is capable of synchronizing in some cases; LibertyBans is a great example

Although, that requires asynchronous non-blocking design, data is stored almost in database

[lost matrix]

You need to poll databases if you want to get notified when changes happen. Redis has several techniques for this which are event driven.

[wet breach]

you could actually implement data sharing capabilities in your plugin between servers as long as your plugin is aware of multiple servers. You don't necessarily need a SQL DB server for this and in fact for most people having SQL DB server is most times over kill.

[young knoll]

Ahh decisions

[lost matrix]

Like... with sockets? Hm. I guess if you have a single plugin and are not designing the whole infrastructure there is not much you can do otherwise.

[young knoll]

Json would probably make this nice and simple, although I don’t actually know how to operate it the same way I do yaml

[wet breach]

well would have to be sockets unless you planning on communicating on a lower level? lol

most data needing to be shared isn't a large amount

[young knoll]

Although with json getting the balance of all players would require me to load each file

[wet breach]

unless you decided on a master server, IE Bungee

basically you can make it a config option as well as your plugin can detect which type of server it is being loaded on. If they enable multi-server option, then in the code you know you need to pull from the master

you are not going to have a player on more then one server at any given time at least not with current server implementations 😛

[young knoll]

How would that solve having to load each file to get all player balances

[wet breach]

thought you were referring to on each server.

you would just do it on server load and I would recommend binary storage

use memory mapped file to aide loading it super fast

[young knoll]

True

I think essentials loads all balances on demand when you run baltop

[minor otter]

if (targetblock == blocklooked) {
Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(plugin, () -> {
packet.getIntegers().write(0, new Random().nextInt(2000)); //entityid
packet.getIntegers().write(1, 3); //stage
try {
manager.sendServerPacket(player, packet);
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
blocktouched.setType(Material.AIR);
}, 20);
}

I dont understand what is wrong with this, both targetblock and blocklooked share the exact same values but the schedule doesn't run, no errors show up

[wet breach]

essentials only keeps track of the top 10 or 20

nothing more

and in fact it isn't super accurate all the time either 😛

[alpine barn]

Copying stuff somewhere local, executing stuff via ssh. And I was told Gradle is evil.

I believe everything I'm being told.

[young knoll]

Pretty sure you can check all of them

Unless that changes

[wet breach]

if you get a player knocked off the list completely, and lets say then afterwards all the rest use up their balance and the one that got knocked off is supposed to be in the top list again but said player never rejoined the server. Essentials won't display them in the list until they join again 🙂

a very unique scenario but point is, essentials does not look through all the player files to find who is supposed to be in the top

[young knoll]

Hmm

It used to say “ordering balance of xxx users, please wait” when you ran baltop

[wet breach]

it could have changed since I last remembered

but that would just be dumb if it did that given there can be literally thousands of files and now spending time using up File handles for this process

there is a limit in how many files can actually be opened at any given time 😛

[young knoll]

I guess I could just cache baltop to a single file

[wet breach]

most people don't come close to that limit. I have hit that limit before XD

and once you hit it, everything in the server plugin wise, tends to start crashing since they typically are not designed to handle such events XD

Anyone more familiar with Gson than me, can I desterilize into an existing instance of an object?

[wet breach]

what do you mean?

like are you asking if you have to create a new Gson object everytime?

if so, not necessarily, but you would require multiple Gson objects if you are going to receive multiple payloads from different sources

[young knoll]

I know I can do this, Foo targetObject = new Gson().fromJson(json, Foo.class);

But can I deserialize into an existing instance of Foo

[wet breach]

Possibly, depends how Foo is setup

ideally you would want that kind of setup as that is the premise of OOP

wish more developers would practice object reuse

[quaint mantle]

No.

immutable objects are cooler anyways

[young knoll]

Yeah I just made an object within my object that will be deserialized

Does anyone know, why changing GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH doesn't work anymore?
CreatureSpawnEvent:

AttributeInstance attr = event.getEntity().getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH);
attr.setBaseValue(3);```

[wet breach]

the method you are using is a getter, not a setter

oh wait nvm looked at it wrong

[pallid ledge]

Does anyone know, how I use skript-variables in a plugin ?
(@me please)

[tawny prawn]

np, every forum says, that code should work

[chrome beacon]

Try setting it back

[tawny prawn]

setting it back to what?🙈

[chrome beacon]

Setting in back in to the map. All though this appears to be not intended

So just ignore that

Anyways that should work. You could try delaying it until next tick

[tawny prawn]

oh you mean, because the creature isnt spawned yet, i cant change that value?

[chrome beacon]

Yeah

[tawny prawn]

but than a error should be thrown, shouldnt it?

but ill try

and still, delaying it, still shouldnt fix it, because the creature wouldnt be spawned yet still. but nevertheless, ill try

[wet breach]

I am assuming you are using an older MC version?

[tawny prawn]

nope, newest one

[wet breach]

because I am not seeing in the Javadocs for getting an Entities Attributes 🤔

the only thing that has getAttributes is items, entities I think require you to use metadata instead?

[tawny prawn]

well, let me phrase my question different: how do i change maxhealth of any entity if not like that xD

[wet breach]

Well the metadata api should let you do that

[tawny prawn]

ok, ill check that. thx for the help. if it still wont work, i check in again 😛

[wet breach]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/metadata/Metadatable.html

Entity extends that

[tawny prawn]

what is the name of the max health of an entity. so by what key should i get/set the value?

[chrome beacon]

What you did earlier is correct

Entities have attributes

[tawny prawn]

so, what todo now xD every forum sais, i should do it that way. but it doesnt work. you sure delaing setting attributes will fix it? because shouldnt the entity spawn, when the event has finished?

[chrome beacon]

Event is before it has spawned

[tawny prawn]

so delaing shouldnt work, right?

[chrome beacon]

Why not?

[pallid ledge]

Hello, does anyone know, how I open my Gui's with skript-reflect, in skript?
My guis in plugin:
https://pastebin.com/gisgbFkh
https://pastebin.com/sPZ4K920

[tawny prawn]

because as you said, it isnt working because the entity isnt spawned yet, because the event hasnt finished. so delaing it by one tick just delays the event and delais the spawn of the creature. therefore the creature still isnt spawned when i change the attr. or did i get smth wrong?

[chrome beacon]

The event won't be delayed

You put your code in a BukkitRunnable and run it next tick

?scheduling

[tawny prawn]

yep, thought it would work like a sleep, buit now i see what you mean, thx

[pine island]

this works right?

[proud basin]

?tryandsee

[undone axle]

https://tryitands.ee

[pine island]

it takes ages to compile

lol

[eternal oxide]

You should be using Attributes

[chrome beacon]

Probably 1.8

[pine island]

^^

also when a player relogs why are they in survival even tho i set it to spec?

[proud basin]

did you change their gamemode in the properties?

[pine island]

nope

also is there a good way too keep player potion effects after death?

[proud basin]

are you wanting them to join always on spec

[pine island]

nope

[proud basin]

oh

[spiral light]

your doing something wrong... i can leave in spectator and when i join i am in spectator ... same for each gamemode

a good way to keep potion effects would be coding it ^^

[waxen plinth]

Plugins like Essentials will often force all players to a certain gamemode on join

[young knoll]

Does gson not support remembering the type of objects between serialization and deserialization

[spiral light]

what do you mean / whats the problem ?

[young knoll]

For example, Genson can store the class name with the serialized object so it can be converted back to that class

[manic crane]

someone who makes plugins and speaks Spanish and English?

[spiral light]

noo

?

[spiral light]

you cant just store an obj and its class ^^ iirc this would need some extra code

[quaint mantle]

Ideally, you should know what object are deserializing. There's registerHierarchyAdapter on gsonBuilder to resolve that issue

[maiden briar]

In Bungee I am creating a cache of all arena's of all servers. When the plugin boots up on Bungee, I don't have any data from any Spigot server. I have to send a message to the Spigot server requesting this data (in JSON). The problem is that I can't send messages to server's without any player online. This means I can never actually initialize a server's arena cache

[spiral light]

yes

[maiden briar]

Any idea's for a fix?

[spiral light]

you can use Java Sockets ^^

[maiden briar]

How to use them?

And, how do I know from which server they will come?

[spiral light]

create an socket for the bungee and let all other sockets connect to this bungee-socket ... if the spigot server client connects you can set a name for it and send any other data you want

[maiden briar]

Very good idea thx

[quaint mantle]

Uhh... There's simple message brokers already...

[maiden briar]

What?

[quaint mantle]

Us something like Redis or rabbitmq. It does the same thing, but its much easier to work with

[spiral light]

boring 😄

[peak gulch]

how to convert §4 to byte like this
ItemStack item = new ItemStack(material, 1,(byte) §4);

`§4 -> red

[hasty prawn]

ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', &4)

[peak gulch]

but it will not convert it to byte

[spiral light]

what

[peak gulch]

the byte are just some numbers

[quiet ice]

that constructor should be deprecated

[spiral light]

why doyou want to convert a §4 to byte ?

this isnt even the place to use color codes

[quiet ice]

Because the constructor requires a byte

[peak gulch]

yes i need this to gui

[spiral light]

what version ?

[quaint mantle]

Wtf

[peak gulch]

17.1

[spiral light]

you dont need that byte

[quiet ice]

Use the ItemMeta instead of the ctor

?jd

[spiral light]

constructor does not take the item name

[hasty prawn]

Did it matter what they said here?

[spiral light]

not rly but if he wanted to set the byte code because of ancient version it matters

[quiet ice]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/meta/ItemMeta.html#setDisplayName(java.lang.String)

[peak gulch]

??

[hasty prawn]

Isn't that deprecated in 1.8 also though Idek LOL

I've never seen that constructor

[quiet ice]

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

[quiet ice]

Use that method

[dense heath]

No

[quiet ice]

There is literally no other way of doing it as far as I know

[peak gulch]

i want to get byte to set item

[quiet ice]

Not possible

[buoyant viper]

what

[peak gulch]

    public void initializeItems() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 26; i++) {
            if(Arrays.asList("20","22","24","44").contains("a")) return;

    }

    protected ItemStack createGuiItem(final  Integer place,Material material, String name,int byt,String... lore)```

[quiet ice]

There is no way of doing it

[dense heath]

Factually incorrect

[quiet ice]

Yes, via nms, but do you expect them to use that?

Or is there some other API

[dense heath]

If it suits them

[buoyant viper]

what the hell is the point of the line with asList

[mint raft]

My plugin linked with vault log "can't find Vault plugin" in the console
But I can't find where the problem is.
I had already installed Vault plugin 1.7.3 in my server
Here is my code:

public final class MBCT5 extends JavaPlugin {


    private static Economy econ = null;
    private static Permission perms = null;
    private static Chat chat = null;

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        System.out.println("running the plugin...");
        if (!setupEconomy() ) {
            System.out.println("can't find Vault plugin");
            getServer().getPluginManager().disablePlugin(this);
            return;
        }
        getCommand("balance").setExecutor(new balance());
        getCommand("turn").setExecutor(new turn());
    }
    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;
    }
    public static Economy getEconomy() {
        return econ;
    }
}

btw I checked the server to make sure the Vault is correctly working on server.

[quiet ice]

You'd need to change the implementation of the createGUI Itemmethod

[buoyant viper]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[hasty prawn]

It is. Do you check things before you go off saying people are "factually incorrect"?

[quiet ice]

always get the economy lazily!

[peak gulch]

what you mean

[buoyant viper]

the docs are just lying to U

smh

[quiet ice]

Like, actually change it

[hasty prawn]

so rude of them

[quiet ice]

Jesus, how have you gone so far in the first place

Any instance of the Byte object can only store the numbers of -128 ... 127, it is quite evident that you cannot store strings with that

So use the method I linked to earlier (don't forget the set the meta afterwards!) and it should work

You only really need to change that one method, not the initializeItems one. (also, I suggest to you to always use primitives (i. e. int place instead of Integer place) wherever possible and to remove the int byt parameter)

[buoyant viper]

id still love to know what the asList line's purpose is

[spiral light]

so true xD

[quiet ice]

debugging probably

[buoyant viper]

god i hope not

a simple println wouldve made more sense

[spiral light]

also interesting how ppl wanne code anti cheat plugins all the time and then they dont even understand the api or how "§4" cant be a byte

[lofty fern]

Hey, So I am new here and have never made a spigot plugin in my life. A server I played shut down and open sourced their plugins. They gave the uncomplied plugin and I would like to compile it to a jar to run it. I know I sound like a noob but all help is appreciated.

[buoyant viper]

interesting how people want to code but dont know how to code

[quiet ice]

technically it could be!

[mint raft]

Any recommended Vault econommy plugin? .w.

[quiet ice]

You don't even have an eco plugin installed?

[spiral light]

probably ... but not with that:

(byte)§4, ...

[quiet ice]

yeah

Just use ChatColor instead tbh

[hasty prawn]

thats too much effort

gotta have a color() method

[quiet ice]

adventure be like

[lofty fern]

Anyone able to tell me how to compile a plugin without a coding software?

[buoyant viper]

javac

[quiet ice]

coding software?

You mean IDE?

[lofty fern]

I have no clue, never made a plugin. Someone open sourced a plugin I like and I need to compile it since its not compiled.

[mint raft]

I have some plugins connected with Vault (like griefprevention)
But I didn't get any useful Vault economy plugin
So I decide to make one by using Kody's tutorial .w.

[quiet ice]

Oh so you want to make an economy?

[mint raft]

yes .w.

[grim ice]

why cant it be a byte

[hasty prawn]

Honestly the easiest way to do it is to just install IntelliJ, make a project from VCS, and clone the open sourced repository and then build it from there.

[quiet ice]

Then just give me the github link and I can figure it out

[spiral light]

@grim ice

[hasty prawn]

Otherwise you can do that sativa suggested and run javac but that's like... typing

[lofty fern]

This probably sounds stupid to you guys but what the hell is a VCS

[hasty prawn]

It's version control, basically Git

[grim ice]

wh cant it be tho

[hasty prawn]

I assume they put the code on GitHub or GitLab?

[quiet ice]

Then use something like https://github.com/Geolykt/EasyConomyAdvanced/blob/geolykt-prod/Bukkit/src/main/java/dev/wwst/easyconomy/Easyconomy.java#L138-L162

[lofty fern]

Yea

[spiral light]

did you try to use that line ? it wont work like that

[hasty prawn]

Yeah, so those will provide you a .git link, you copy it into IntelliJ and it downloads all the code for you to start compiling it.

[lofty fern]

Gotcha, thanks.

[quiet ice]

except if they use a strange build system

(such as make or something like that, but the chances are minimal)

[hasty prawn]

Yeah true if they didn't use Maven/Gradle you're gonna have to find all the depends

[grim ice]

yes but why

[quiet ice]

plain java dum, that's why you should use JAVAscript

[spiral light]

thats why

[lofty fern]

where do I find the .git link?

[hasty prawn]

On GitHub is the green Code button

[quiet ice]

take the url of the repo and append .git to it

[hasty prawn]

Or do that

[lofty fern]

Found it

Also, anyone know why I am not getting the private message from the verification bot?

[hasty prawn]

Do you have DMs enabled

[lofty fern]

No clue

[hasty prawn]

Make sure you do

[quiet ice]

can you even disable DMs on the forums?

[prime musk]

record what they have before death and apply back when they respawn

[hasty prawn]

Oh I forgot it DMs you on the forums

[prime musk]

nope

[hasty prawn]

Been a while since I verified 😢

[lofty fern]

My DMs are on and I don't have a message.

[hasty prawn]

On the forums?

[lofty fern]

yea

[opal juniper]

How do i get the nms version of a server?

i need the "15" in 1.15.2

[eager hull]

For some reason my server lags splash potions, any idea what might cause this?

Like when thrown it ends up landing behind the player while running

[hasty prawn]

Hmm weird, I don't 100% remember what the verification process was like, maybe make sure you spelled your username right if you had to type it?

#help-server @eager hull

[eager hull]

Thanks

[hasty prawn]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/get-nms-version-and-convert-it-to-a-minecraft-one.205021/

?

[lofty fern]

Okay, so I have the project. Where the hell is the compile button.

[hasty prawn]

Do you see a pom.xml or a build.gradle anywhere

[lofty fern]

I see a pom.xml

[hasty prawn]

On the right side is there a maven tab

[opal juniper]

found Integer.valueOf(Bukkit.getBukkitVersion().split("\\.")[1]) but thanks

[lofty fern]

Yes

[hasty prawn]

[lofty fern]

yea

[hasty prawn]

Open that and I believe it's package?

I never use maven so someone can correct me if I'm wrong

[spiral light]

yes

[lofty fern]

This is what I see

[hasty prawn]

Yeah, package

[lofty fern]

Oh, im blind

It says "Error running 'Show [package]': Project JDK is not specified."

[hasty prawn]

Do you have Java installed

And also what version is this plugin for

[lofty fern]

On my PC yes.

[hasty prawn]

MC version

[lofty fern]

1.12.2

[hasty prawn]

okay

[tardy delta]

java 8

you need

[lofty fern]

Dev tools or SE for java 8

[tardy delta]

go to prject structure > project > project sdk

[hasty prawn]

^

[tardy delta]

idk what dev tools is

[hasty prawn]

JDK is dev tools I assume

[lofty fern]

Where is that

[hasty prawn]

File -> Project Structure

[tardy delta]

or yea

[lofty fern]

Found it

okay, so what do I choose as SDK?

[hasty prawn]

Anything that says 8 lol

Probably says 1.8

[lofty fern]

Im so confused on what to download. Oracle makes things so hard.

[tardy delta]

18 🤡

nah java 8

[lofty fern]

Where is the stupid download button on this page

[hasty prawn]

Who knows, thats Oracle for you 😄

Just wait until they make you login

[lofty fern]

oml

I hate oracle

[tardy delta]

whats this one?
https://adoptium.net/?variant=openjdk17&jvmVariant=hotspot

[lofty fern]

I used to program.

Not anymore.

I FOUND THE BUTTON!!! 🥳

[hasty prawn]

[lofty fern]

You search java 8 it brings you to oracle.com you search java 8 download it brings you to javas website.

[hasty prawn]

Yeah aand Java's website isn't sketchy at all

[tardy delta]

heh do people intitialize some fields directly when declaring them instead of in constructor to minimize the object creation time?

[lofty fern]

I installed it and there is no option for a JDK by java...

[hasty prawn]

Restart IntelliJ probs

[hasty prawn]

huh?

[tardy delta]

like this instead of = new in constructor

[hasty prawn]

That doesn't minimize object creation time

[tardy delta]

im just wondering

why they do

[hasty prawn]

Pretty sure it's effectively the same thing as just setting it in the constructor

It's a design preference I suppose.

But they're effectively the same thing.

[tardy delta]

but for some fields in the same class they do it in constructor and other ones directly

preference i guess

[hasty prawn]

It's the same as

private final Map<UUID, User> userMap;
public UserMap() {
  userMap = new HashMap<>();
}

Same thing

[lofty fern]

Where is the directory for the JDK

SDK*

[tardy delta]

there is no

you have to set it to your jdk path

[hasty prawn]

Are you on Windows

[lofty fern]

Yea

[hasty prawn]

C:/Program Files/Java

[tardy delta]

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_291\bin\java.exe like this

[lofty fern]

Says not a home directory for a JDK

That worked

[hasty prawn]

yeah

[lofty fern]

Wait, nvm. Path unspecified. Bruh

[tardy delta]

click on the jar?

[hasty prawn]

Try setting it to just the /bin

Instead of the java.exe

[lofty fern]

I don't even have that path. I have a JRE path?

[hasty prawn]

You don't have one that says jdk1.8.9_<something>

[lofty fern]

And theres not even a jdk...

[hasty prawn]

?

You need a JDK back to Oracle!

You can also try using IntelliJ

[lofty fern]

oml

I have to go to oracle

for the java 8 jdk

but java for java 8

[hasty prawn]

Click the SDK, Add SDK -> Download JDK

[tardy delta]

what isnt he using intellij

[lofty fern]

oracle you son of a b||un||t roll

[buoyant viper]

wait i have a link for Oracle JDK8 somewhere

[hasty prawn]

I mean using IntelliJ to download the JDK

[tardy delta]

ah

[buoyant viper]

https://javadl.oracle.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=245464_4d5417147a92418ea8b615e228bb6935 should be JDK 8_311 or whatever

[lofty fern]

I NEEDED TEHE DEV KIT ALL ALONG

BRUH

[hasty prawn]

Yeah JDK is Java Development Kit lol

[lofty fern]

imma rage

[ivory sleet]

Yikes

[hasty prawn]

Use the link sativa sent

[lofty fern]

i did

[buoyant viper]

poggers

[hasty prawn]

[buoyant viper]

slowly releasing people from the false paywall that Oracle put up

[lofty fern]

and people wonder why I give up on programming java every time

[buoyant viper]

but also why not use java 16 or 17

[hasty prawn]

Plugin is developed for 1.12.2

[lofty fern]

I don't even think its going to work. I am just trying to compile it so if it does work yea

[quaint mantle]

Smh just run your 1.12.2 server on java 17

[lofty fern]

Because half of the dependencies and plugins aren't there because the private server was shut down.

Basically this disney theme park server shut down because their owner was caught being a pedo and they open sourced it so I am trying to bring back the server but their plugins are not my strong point so I am trying to see if they work before hiring a coder.

[tardy delta]

disney theme park yikes

[lofty fern]

yea

he abused his power as a certified discord server owner and a approved family friendly minecraft server.

And he just left without giving over ownership.

[tardy delta]

nice 🌝

[lofty fern]

And so now fans of the parks and not him are stuck with these stupid programs

[hasty prawn]

Fun..

[lofty fern]

I dont think its goign to work though because of this https://gyazo.com/2626092bca964b7f40a0f9302b2a4e62

[tardy delta]

you have to set your dependencies

[lofty fern]

how?

[tardy delta]

add it to your pom if youre using maven

[lofty fern]

how tho

k its compiling

[tardy delta]

spigot it this

<repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>spigot-repo</id>
            <url>https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

<dependencies>

            <version>VERSION HERE</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
</dependencies>```

[lofty fern]

My brain doesn't like that.

okay, it compiled but everything errored

[golden turret]

how could i change how long the fishing hook can go?

[tardy delta]

🌝

[glossy venture]

epic line of code

[ivory sleet]

Mm yummy enterprise

Altho I still miss the factory

[spiral light]

ProjectileShootEvent maybe

[buoyant viper]

wait... like MCMagic?

[lofty fern]

Its the person that bought out MCMagic, Palace Network

MCMagic got so big that the palace network bought them, 6 years later that event happened.

[buoyant viper]

oh

[lofty fern]

Right now I am trying to get the show plugin to work.

I emailed the lead coder asking if he had the repositories copied so I will see if he gets back to me.

[spiral light]

is there an repo for that project ?

[lofty fern]

wdym*

[spiral light]

github ?

[lofty fern]

The repos were on the website

the main one

and that got shut down

wayback machine has no archive of the web page

[boreal sparrow]

players that are dead and didnt click respawn dont get teleported with this command.
this isnt good help :/

onlinePlayer.teleport(new Location(Bukkit.getWorld("lobby2"), 0, 65, 0));

[muted sand]

Is it safe to access, but not modify the bukkit api in a thread context?

[spiral light]

respawn those plaayers

[boreal sparrow]

is there a function for this

[tardy delta]

storage = new DelegatingStorage(new MySqlStorage(ConnectionFactory.create(this, StorageType.fromString(getConfig().getString("database.type"), StorageType.H2)), new UserRepository()), getLogger());```

[ivory sleet]

Where’s factory factory?

[tardy delta]

wha-

[sterile token]

What would you recommend for a simple data bróker Websocket or Socket?

[golden turret]

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

[ivory sleet]

What would you need a web socket for if it’s not for the web

[tardy delta]

i can inline the cache 🤡

[ivory sleet]

Nice

[spiral light]

did you test it ?

[golden turret]

there is no special methods there

[spiral light]

yes of course

[azure osprey]

is there a faster way to test your code in game than closing minecraft and replacing your new jar file in the plugins folder and restarting the server again?

[ivory sleet]

Yeah

Unit tests

Or

Just hotswapping

[azure osprey]

what do those mean?

[golden turret]

/reload or plugman

[ivory sleet]

First one is automated tests, so you basically code the expected behavior your code will display

Second one means you just swap the jar whilst the server runs

And the jvm will see the changes

[azure osprey]

...oh

[sterile token]

I wanna code a simple data sender and receiver! But socket are to messy. Like I try and try. But its only get me mad

[azure osprey]

well that's useful

[radiant onyx]

Does someone know how to import craftbukkit 1.18.1 into your maven pom.xml using a repository?

[ivory sleet]

Idk I mean sockets are quite simple if you understand the concept of them

[golden turret]

run buildtools

and use

[ivory sleet]

But verano

[golden turret]

the spigot artifact

[sterile token]

There is no official repo for Spigot jars. You should use build tools for that

[ivory sleet]

What would a web socket benefit you here?

[spiral light]

@golden turret the Event will not provide redunant code ... you will need to check the entitytype and then add velocity you want

[golden turret]

i will try to do something with the player.idkProjectile(class, vector)

[sterile token]

They are easy to use. And they are already prepare. Like if I use socket I would need to work o er them. And websocket it has many methods with it

[ivory sleet]

oh we are talking about java api abstractions over them?

I mean give ws a try

[sterile token]

Like I wan do a simply data broker. But sockets plan giveme to many problems, with async, Thread locking etc

[ivory sleet]

Thread locking?

[sterile token]

Yeah

[ivory sleet]

Oh synchronization is a bit of a pain yeah

Hence why many devs opt for sth like netty

[sterile token]

Yeah that why i get más with sockets

And i thought about websocket

[ivory sleet]

Idk arguably you’d need to multithread your application if it uses web sockets as well

[sterile token]

Hence its looks easy and its already used i mongo

Ahh allright

[ivory sleet]

But give it a try

Experience will tell

[tardy delta]

how should i call the database of my plugin?

[ivory sleet]

wym?

[tardy delta]

i'm out of names today

[sterile token]

I would recommend async on player join

That what I used for loading player data

[tardy delta]

nah the name i mean 🤡

[ivory sleet]

Call it Database?

[tardy delta]

create database Database :/

[ivory sleet]

Oh

[sterile token]

Explain more

[tardy delta]

yeahh

[ivory sleet]

That type of name

[sterile token]

I dont understand

[ivory sleet]

Idk

Choose what you want lol

[tardy delta]

probably py plugin name

[sterile token]

I would heavy recommend mongo

SQL yeat

[ivory sleet]

Believe google sheets is an option also

[sterile token]

You will have big ass pains with linking data

[ivory sleet]

Or excel whatever you call it lol

[tardy delta]

is it even possible to rename a mysql db?

[ivory sleet]

Idk

I don’t use mysql

[sterile token]

I used since for simple things

[tardy delta]

kekw

[sterile token]

But for networking I prefer Mongo

Cuz you need more flexibility for data saving

[ivory sleet]

They’re equally flexible?

Or have I missed sth?

[sterile token]

And i cannot lost my time with fucked data linking with ids and that yet

[tardy delta]

im using h2

and mysql

[sterile token]

That good option for local data

Hence I would prefer Mongo over Mysql

[tardy delta]

i did sqlite before but i didnt like the syntax 🌝

[sterile token]

Its the same from Mysql

Hahaha

🤣

[tardy delta]

nah bigint is something different

[sterile token]

Lmao you should have seen my face

I used sqlite and mysql since 1 year

And the syntax its not so diferente

They use SQL so

[tardy delta]

https://tenor.com/view/fatdog-dog-funnydog-cute-dog-gif-19059877

[proud basin]

yes

[tardy delta]

im looking it up atm

rename table causes problems i saw

[sterile token]

Wait

[tardy delta]

wait

[sterile token]

You mixed all things

[tardy delta]

wtf is this site saying

[sterile token]

You first said database renaming and now table

Hum

[tardy delta]

RENAME DATABASE i mean

blame that site

[spiral light]

i have a small server/client - socket java project

[sterile token]

Yeah I read completly and i understand it

[maiden briar]

If I use Connect via Bungeecord messaging, how long will it take before the connection is fully established so I can send the next message to the server the player has just connected to?

[sterile token]

I think from Client you cannot rename database name. Tables yes you can

[sterile token]

Explain more. What are you trying to do?

[tardy delta]

RENAME DATABASE has since been removed from all newer versions to avoid security risks. 🌝

[maiden briar]

I am trying to send a player to a server and give that server directly after the player has joined some extra information (another instance of my plugin is running there)

[tardy delta]

it says to recreate all tables lmao

[visual tide]

what security risks 😐

[tardy delta]

idk

[sterile token]

There you have the answer

[tardy delta]

or doing a dump 🤡

[sterile token]

Dont search for the 5 leg of dog cuz you wont find it

In other words if you cannot do it. You cant dont search for a solution

[hasty prawn]

Why do you need to rename it anyways

[sterile token]

I have that questions too

Idk why

[maiden briar]

.

[quaint mantle]

technically you can.. just create a new table with same columns, move the data using script and delete the old one

[tardy delta]

thats a good question, i was just asking for in case

[hasty prawn]

Yeah, just name it right the first time LOL

Avoids all this

[sterile token]

Hum the problem its the next. Plugin message channel wont work without player Connection on the receiver side. So if you dont have any players online you wont receive the data until a player joins

[spiral light]

thats why sockets are better except for transfering player

[maiden briar]

Exactly, but I wanna transfer a player

I wanna send him to a lobby server, and give that lobby server directly after the player has joined some information so the lobby server can handle that

[spiral light]

what information ?

[maiden briar]

What server the player wants to join

And in the lobby I have my plugin handeling that

[quaint mantle]

✨ redis ✨

[maiden briar]

No messaging is fine, but I need to know what delay I need to use inbetween these messages

[quaint mantle]

racing condition

[rancid snow]

why do you guys put so much effort into databases

I store all my data as a stringified json object

[quaint mantle]

🤡

[rancid snow]

I call her ol’ fast & reliable

[tardy delta]

json doesnt provide joins

[rancid snow]

?? its an object just add another key

[tardy delta]

i dont think you understand the concept db table

[spiral light]

well ... why the heck do you teleport the player to lobby and not to the server itself xD

[sterile token]

Really wrong. JSON its a DATA TYPE FORMAT

[rancid snow]

I don’t think you understand the concept of efficiency

[maiden briar]

Because I want the lobby to select an applicable server

[rancid snow]

I have no idea what you are trying to tell me

[sterile token]

That json its not designe for store data. Its only a type format

[rancid snow]

no?

[tardy delta]

and why would you use one json file for different kinds of data?

[rancid snow]

because its efficient

and fast

[hasty prawn]

It is until you have large amounts of data

[sterile token]

Yeah

[rancid snow]

huh? no?

[sterile token]

I would want to see you reading big objets and with not Async

[hasty prawn]

You gonna load all that data into memory?

Lol

[sterile token]

LmAo

[rancid snow]

yeah..?

[sterile token]

Really wrong

[hasty prawn]

I'm talking, LARGE amounts of data.

[sterile token]

Omg

[hasty prawn]

Not a 2MB file lol

[rancid snow]

how much data?

[tardy delta]

lets load the facebook data to json lol

[spiral light]

unfair ^^

[hasty prawn]

Imagine what literally any semi-large software company is holding. They can have GB of data.

[sterile token]

I wont never do that. I until work with Mongo + Cache + DataObject + Async

[spiral light]

GB ? xD i would say TB at least

[hasty prawn]

Yeah, and even GBs would give the application a stroke trying to parse that much JSON

[sterile token]

And even loading of cache it will consume the same as Intellij conpiling

Hahaha

[spiral light]

i have also created my own cache datbase which can store some simple stuff that can be used async and with sockets ...

[sterile token]

I seen but like I dont like your sockets format

[quaint mantle]

🆗

[spiral light]

hmm i changed something the last few days and i always try to make it more efficient/more usefull

[quaint mantle]

but you know its minecraft so i think we can use anything we want cuz you know it is not going to be big

who needs relational databases it is just overcomplicating you know

[spiral light]

hmm for example hypixel... they have a lot of data

[hasty prawn]

Depends I suppose, something like CoreProtect probably should use databases.

But yeah for the most part, you're right it doesn't really matter.

[quaint mantle]

Please start understanding irony

[hasty prawn]

I mean you're still right to an extent LOL

[tardy delta]

is there a good way to execute multiple sql statements after each other?

or doesnt it matter

[quaint mantle]

transaction

[tardy delta]

and whas that

[quaint mantle]

google

https://www.baeldung.com/java-transactions

[tardy delta]

its more like table setup so would i need a transaction?

[quaint mantle]

i think so, although, it wouldnt matter much; any changes will be rollbacked if table creation will fail

[tardy delta]

oh ok

[woeful crescent]

is there any way to run tasks less than one tick apart

[quaint mantle]

probably by using java common thread pool

[sterile token]

I would like this strucutre:

Endpoint (Interface with basics: options, connect, disconnect, send and receive).

Client and Server (Implement Endpoint Interface)

Connection (Handling data sending/receiving. Will be used on both side)

Event Handling (Using Connection class and Packet)

[spiral light]

first 2 points exist in some sort now

[sterile token]

I know

But i need something easy not just Socket and SocketServer

[spiral light]

you could adapt it to what you need tho ^^ this is like CraftSocket which needs some love to get a usefull interface like as api

[sterile token]

Like I need to do an Implement of it on a library and that library be abstract let say. So i dont need to code ecething when I need to use them

Like I wanna send something vía socket. I initialize client and Server side. I connect them. And them In allowed to send and receive packets (object class)

[spiral light]

it all depends on how you use it xD

[sterile token]

That its why Im trying to do since 1 month. I think I not prepared for this

Cuz I always get NPE exception

While calling send/receive

So i dont know if its a Connection problem with socket or my class.

[spiral light]

😄 i had some trouble while sending more then 9mio chars at the same time xD

[sterile token]

Omg I will continues drinking my Whisky and try to thought over that system

Since im not on home I cannot do to much. I only can think and get ideas

[spiral light]

whisky ... at the second day of week

i like it

[sterile token]

Whisky its a type of alchool

[visual tide]

how does the day matter 🌝

[spiral light]

well... most ppl go to school / work and its not rly normal to drink the day before doing those social system related work

[visual tide]

and if its in the evening :thonk:

[spiral light]

i would go sleep xD

[azure osprey]

does anyone know the relationship to the force of a bow and the speed of the arrow fired?

1.0 is the maximum force

[spiral light]

i think its a 1:1 ratio

[azure osprey]

it's not

[spiral light]

f*3.0

[crisp arch]

Im making a holograms plugin, and I would like a method that generates the entity given it's location, and hologram text, but i don't know how i would do this, since i cant do new Entity, or new ArmorStand.

[azure osprey]

oh, yeah that sounds right, thanks soccer

how'd you find that so quick I've been looking for half an hour

[spiral light]

IntellIJ
open random mc-project
write bow and use autocomplete to find the nms class "BowItem"
read the name "releaseUsing" and read "getPowerForTime"

then click the value.name and all other uses will show

[buoyant viper]

i think its also dependent on player speed now isnt it

like accelerated projectiles

or is that only for eggs balls and pearls

[azure osprey]

wut

...

well this puts a wrench in things

[vocal cloud]

You can't instantiate a new entity because that's not how it works. You need to use Bukkit to create a new entity

[spiral light]

i cant see that

[buoyant viper]

i could just be wrong idk

[spiral light]

it depends on the player is on ground or not

[crisp arch]

not even with nms?

[spiral light]

if not the deltamovement of the player gets added to the y-coord

[vocal cloud]

Why do you want to do new when you can just spawn in the entity you want with Bukkit?

?jd

[undone axle]

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

[visual tide]

weak

[crisp arch]

alright i guess i could make a spawnEntity method instead of getEntity

[vocal cloud]

You know the spawn entity returns said entity right?

[crisp arch]

yea i looked this up, people said i could catch the entity with an event, but its a little janky

[vocal cloud]

What do you mean with an event?

[quaint mantle]

why-y

It literally returns toy the entity tho work with

[vocal cloud]

Spawn entity gives you the entity

For free

[crisp arch]

but doesn't it also spawn the entity in the world?

i would like to spawn it later

[proud basin]

Any suggestions in improving this? ```java
public static int fromRank(Rank r) {
for (Rank rank : Rank.values()) {
if (rank.equals(r)) {
return rank.points;
}
}
return 0;
}

[azure osprey]

soccer I still don't follow your description for how you found it out, I typed "bow" but all that came up was this

[quaint mantle]

it does. Why?

[vocal cloud]

But why?

[quaint mantle]

using a map

[azure osprey]

@spiral light

[vocal cloud]

Make your entities as you need them

[proud basin]

There is no point in using a map for what im doing

[quaint mantle]

Or literally just rank.points lmao

[spiral light]

do you only use the API ?

[vocal cloud]

Because it's lower case. Capitalize it remember case matters

[azure osprey]

what else would I use?

[spiral light]

the server version which includes the nms stujff

[azure osprey]

...how do I get this server version?

[proud basin]

wouldn't work each rank is assigned to a point

[azure osprey]

this is good stuff thanks for telling me

[quaint mantle]

You are breaking equals contract

[vocal cloud]

Go to docs and type in version. That answers that question

[proud basin]

How so?

[quaint mantle]

I dont understand what are you tring to do. Is rank an enum?

[proud basin]

yea

[quaint mantle]

equals then is just ==

its nothing but rank.points

[crisp arch]

ok, so i would like to tag the armor stand with it's id from my sqlite database, how would i change it's nbt?

[vocal cloud]

Does it have a Persistent data container?

[quaint mantle]

use Persistent data container

Yes it has

[vocal cloud]

Then use that

[crisp arch]

persistent data container?

[proud basin]

I guess im just comparing an object

[crisp arch]

ok one ec let me google that

[compact cape]

CONSOLE issued server command: /give Ashenguard diamond 10
Is there a way to make this say the plugin name?

[crisp arch]

jeez the other answers in forums involved getting the craft entity, getting the nbt compound, and converting it back into a bukkit entity, how outdated was that thread lmao

[vocal cloud]

Did you google persistent data container?

Don't use bing

[crisp arch]

i dont know what a persistent data container is

never heard of it

this is my first time messing with NBT with spigot api

[vocal cloud]

[eternal night]

presumably why you are supposed to google it

[vocal cloud]

Don't use NBT use PDC

[azure osprey]

what do you mean by go to the docs Mike? I've been googling and trying stuff for the past 5 minutes but this is my second day on intellij and idk what you mean by that
