[wet breach]

nothing in Java stops you

[rotund pond]

Not gonna discuss on this

[wet breach]

because the Convention isn't part of the JVM

you are free to make your own rules around what style you want to use

as long as the compiler is happy, you can do whatever

[rotund pond]

Okay

[lime jolt]

does anyone know what version of spigot I need to run

array.get(0).sendTitle("Hello!", "This is a test.", 1, 20, 1);

[wet breach]

most everyone will generally recommend you run latest

[lime jolt]

it still seems to not be working though

[dire marsh]

define not working

[wet breach]

their code for sending the title most likely

[desert tinsel]

so, cause the java plugin.getTokenMiner().getInt("Player."+p.getName()) = 1000 and it isn't equal with 0, and it isn't less or equal with 250
i expect to happen the

plugin.tokens.put(p, plugin.tokens.get(p)+TokenMare(level));
                p.sendMessage("3");```, but it happens 
```java
Random r = new Random();
            Integer rr = r.nextInt(5);
            if (rr == 1){
                plugin.tokens.put(p, plugin.tokens.get(p)+1);
            }
            p.sendMessage("1");```

[lime jolt]

still gives me same error

[dire marsh]

what error

[lime jolt]

The method sendTitle(String, String) in the type Player is not applicable for the arguments (String, String, int, int, int)

[wet breach]

I am going to let others help you both, I am not awake enough for this XD

[young knoll]

Did you actually update to latest

[lime jolt]

1.18.2

[dire marsh]

that's 1.8

update

[young knoll]

Did you update the version in maven

Or gradle

Or whatever

[lime jolt]

it is????

wait so where do I get new version

[young knoll]

?bt

[undone axle]

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

[dire marsh]

what build system are you using

maven, gradle

[lime jolt]

1.18.2 is a very new version

1.8.8 is old

[young knoll]

Correct

[dire marsh]

yes...

[young knoll]

The method you want is 1.12+

[lime jolt]

so why would it not work

so if its 1.18 why is it no working

[dire marsh]

is there a place with all the javadoc versions

[lime jolt]

yes

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

[dire marsh]

cause you're not on 1.18

[lime jolt]

but I am?

[dire marsh]

again

what build system do you use

show your build.gradle / pom.xml

[young knoll]

Inb4 what’s a build system

[lime jolt]

what is that

[dire marsh]

xd

[lime jolt]

build system?

[dire marsh]

how are you depending on spigot then

[lime jolt]

IDE

[dire marsh]

right

show that

the dependency

[lime jolt]

Eclipse

I am using Eclipse

[dire marsh]

yes, show the spigot dependency you have

[lime jolt]

1.18.2?

:/

[dire marsh]

well check it

[lime jolt]

it is 1.18.2

[dire marsh]

I can't really help much anyway, I haven't used eclipse and IDE dependencies in years

[lime jolt]

BUT

I also have downloaded 1.8.8

with it

2

could that be why

_>

I have 2 paths

[young knoll]

Lol

Just use one

[lime jolt]

it wont let me delete

the other one

eeeeeek

[young knoll]

Be aware that your plugin won’t run on 1.8 now

[lime jolt]

how delete a path

on explipse

[dire marsh]

is that an issue

[lime jolt]

i right click

I hover over

delete

but it wont let me

[dire marsh]

idk

you added it, work it out

but you should look into gradle and/or maven

[young knoll]

Should be a remove button on the side

[lime jolt]

there is

but it wont let me click it

it does not want to die

new question

how do you get y pos of player

._.

[abstract sleet]

player.getLocation().getY()

[lime jolt]

thx

[abstract sleet]

i highly recommend you check the javadocs by the way whenever you want to know how to use anything in the spigot api

[young knoll]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot

[lime jolt]

I am looking through them but whenver I try it it does not work

for example

for location

all I saw was getY()

[abstract sleet]

yeah, don't you want the Y?

[lime jolt]

and did not understand what to do withgetY()

yes

[crimson terrace]

Whenever I dont know how to do something I just look for appropriately named methods for whatever I can find and try using those

[lime jolt]

but I did not understand the player and get location thing needed before that

[abstract sleet]

the getY() method returns a float from memory.

[lime jolt]

how did u know u needed player.getlocation though

I understand player

[abstract sleet]

you're asking how to get a player's Y coordinate

[lime jolt]

but why getlocation

why not location

[crimson terrace]

well the coordinates are part of the location if you think about it

so thats how people figure that out

[lime jolt]

okok

[abstract sleet]

getLocation is a method in Player which returns the Location object of a player

[lime jolt]

ookoko, I get it now

thanks

[abstract sleet]

in Location you can do things like getWorld, getY, etc :)

[lime jolt]

i see i see

[abstract sleet]

by the way, I highly recommend getting all the basics of Java nailed down before doing anything with the Spigot-API, it will make your life so much easier

you don't need to learn the entire language, just the bare basics

[crimson terrace]

how bad are streams for performance in comparison to for example a for each loop?

[lime jolt]

i kinda got java, but just never used plugins before

[abstract sleet]

i think the performance drawback of streams are only noticed in large loads

depends on what you use them for really

[crimson terrace]

so streaming a players inventory contents and filtering a couple of times into a collect wouldnt be bad at all?

[abstract sleet]

how frequently is this ran?

[crimson terrace]

in response to a command the player issued that is, sorry

[abstract sleet]

oh, if it's from command and not an event, I can't vision any performance issue at all with using streams especially on inventories

[crimson terrace]

gotcha

[fickle frost]

I started a plugin for replacing villages with cities, and I really want to use my algorithm for generating smooth steps from arbitrary position a to b, (because vanilla village roads are garbage) but doing so requires knowing the blocks along the y axis at those coordinates, which basically means all chunks contained within the city need to have finished generating before it can start populating roads and structures.

Obviously far from ideal to delay chunk population like that.

Any brilliant ideas?

[young knoll]

Ooh fancy

Although you could just use a datapack

[crimson terrace]

can I play tic tac toe on that map?

[fickle frost]

Datapack structures are limited to 64x64 blocks iirc, and I'd really like to generate very large buildings, so not going to be using that.

[young knoll]

The chunks only need to be past basegen, not finished

Datapack structures are limited to 48x48

But you can use jigsaws

[fickle frost]

😬

[young knoll]

Although worldgen plugins are nice to see, not many people like to tackle worldgen

[fickle frost]

The chunks only need to be past basegen, not finished
I can't queue up all of those chunks to only load in partially, especially not without breaking the no recursive chunk loading rules.
So kinda have to deal with letting the chunks load in whatever order they happen to.

[fickle frost]

My plan was to let the plugin's users add in schematics of buildings they want to be included in generation, because there's basically no server admin friendly customizability for villages at the moment.

[young knoll]

That sounds fun

Really should expand the spigot worldgen API

I’d love to add an API to add new biomes and structures

[crimson terrace]

is there a reason why plugins cant add new items?

[young knoll]

Because you can’t add new items to the game server side

You need a client mod

Of course you can basically add new items with custom model data

[crimson terrace]

yeah, if only you could make a server force the client to have an ItemPack or something like it already does with resource packs

[young knoll]

One day datapacks will do that

I imagine

[crimson terrace]

I hope that spigot will be able to aswell 😄

[hasty prawn]

Someone should make a client mod that allows servers to inject custom content

[crimson terrace]

I really like the spigot api

[fickle frost]

My thoughts at the moment are, whenever a chunk generates, check a radius for a valid source chunk for spawning a city, and if it finds a valid one, plot a y-blind road map for the city, and any chunks where those roads are contained, queue for generation, and once they've all generated, populate it with a city.
As long as the radius is larger than the max city size and the view radius, the city would theoretically have generated in before a player gets a chance to see it.

[young knoll]

I’ve thought about it

I think someone has for fabric

Maybe

[hasty prawn]

That'd be awesome lol

[young knoll]

Still need a client mod though

Sadly

[hasty prawn]

Yeah... Maybe we should just annoy Mojang so much that they add it

[lost matrix]

Will never come because of "security concerns"

[crimson terrace]

like we did with the cave update?

[young knoll]

That’s false

The server already sends data to clients

[lime jolt]

anyone know why i am in a void when I do this

                
                
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(10);
                }
                catch(Exception e) {}
                
                if(array.get(1).getLocation().getY() < 30) {
                    array.get(0).sendTitle("You Won", "Winner: " + array.get(0));
                    array.get(1).sendTitle("You Lost", "Winner: " + array.get(0));
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage(array.get(0).getName() + " has beat " + array.get(1).getName() + " in sumo!");
                    gameIsRunning = false;
                    array.remove(0);
                }
                if(array.get(0).getLocation().getY() < 30) {
                    array.get(1).sendTitle("You Won", "Winner: " + array.get(1));
                    array.get(0).sendTitle("You Lost", "Winner: " + array.get(1));
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage(array.get(1).getName() + " has beat " + array.get(0).getName() + " in sumo!");
                    gameIsRunning = false;
                    array.remove(0);
                }
                
            }```

threads are messing me up

[lost matrix]

Dont use while loops on the main thread. You just block it forever this way.

[lime jolt]

?

[lost matrix]

So minecraft naturally just crashes

[young knoll]

The game sends the entire biome registry to clients as json

So there’s no reason they can’t do the same with the block or item registry

[lime jolt]

how can I always check if the player is above a certain y level then

[young knoll]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

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

[lost matrix]

Check every tick or in the PlayerMoveEvent

[lime jolt]

how do i do that ._.

[young knoll]

We send you a wiki entry

[lost matrix]

Look above my msg. Scheduling

[young knoll]

?event-api for events

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-the-event-api/

[hasty prawn]

wait really

[young knoll]

Yes

That’s how datapack biomes work

[hasty prawn]

So custom biomes are possible

[young knoll]

Sure

[hasty prawn]

Interesting

[young knoll]

Have been since 1.16.2

[tall dragon]

custom biomes are indeed possible

[young knoll]

Look at the terralith datapack

[hasty prawn]

Structures/World Gen/Biomes is something I've yet to work with so I don't know much about it

[tall dragon]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/terraformgenerator-alpha.75132/ look at this for example

its very cool

[hasty prawn]

That's sick, ty for the resources

I do plan to mess with those things fairly soon, but gotta finish other stuff first lol

[young knoll]

I really want to learn to make cool worldgen

But noise is hard to wrap my head around

[hasty prawn]

That's why I've avoided it tbh

Seems complicated

[fickle frost]

There are generation techniques that don't deal with noise, which might be a good way to dip your toes into it if you want to avoid noise specifically.

[young knoll]

You’d think I’d know some stuff about it being on the dev team of a large worldgen project :p

But I don’t

[fickle frost]

Ask your colleagues to give you some pointers?

[lost matrix]

WrapperPlayClientUseEntity.java:37
Whats this line?

[hasty prawn]

Yeah yeah go ask them and then when I tackle it you can help me

[young knoll]

Hehe

I’ve gotten some resources from them

[lime jolt]

how would I stop my code from consistnelty doing something by checking each tick, instead of using a while loop

since while loops aint working

[tall dragon]

use a repeating runnable

[lime jolt]

how would I stop it

though

[tall dragon]

BukkitRunnable#cancel() exists

[lost matrix]

Why are the packets different? Did you relocate after shading?

[lime jolt]

would I just wrtie BukkitRunnable#cancel() ;

[tall dragon]

no

[young knoll]

No

[lime jolt]

oh

[young knoll]

You need an instance of the runnable

[lost matrix]

I prefer using a runnable that is sheduled once and where i can just add/remove tickables.
But you can also cancel runnables by their id or use BukkitRunnable#cancel()

[tall dragon]

you would call cancel on your instance

[dull whale]

packets are different?

[lost matrix]

The stack trace is pointing towards

TheLudoBile.Utils.WrapperPlayClientUseEntity

[lime jolt]

so how would the line look like

BukkitRunnable#cancel()

[dull whale]

those wrapper classes are the same

copy paste

[lost matrix]

What spigot version are you using?

[young knoll]

<runnable instance>.cancel()

[tall dragon]

very simple example

public class ExampleRunnable extends BukkitRunnable
{
    
    int ticks = 0;

    @Override
    public void run() {
        if (ticks >= 10)
        {
            //stop after 10 ticks
            cancel();
            return;
        }
        ticks++;
    }
}

[dull whale]

1.18

[young knoll]

Yes you can also cancel from within the runnable

[lime jolt]

i see

alright thx

does anyone know how many ticks are in a second

[lost matrix]

The wrapper is from 2014. The packet content has probably changed since then.
Look at the protocol and try to get the content by using raw modifiers.

[hybrid spoke]

off by 1 since you dont return

[tall dragon]

20

[lime jolt]

okok

[tall dragon]

if the server is on 20 tps

[tall dragon]

yes i do, idk what ur talking abt

😉

[fossil lily]

How can I check if there is an entity in a chunk before unloading it?

[young knoll]

Chunk.getEntities

[fossil lily]

oh thats easy

thanks :D

[dull whale]

2017 version has the same error
where can I find info about raws anyway

[lost matrix]

https://wiki.vg/Protocol
Also: the nms packet class

[carmine pecan]

I'm actually able to reproduce it now. Code inside if(!count) only runs once

[dire marsh]

Print the block that it runs on, and then check what block it is

[dull whale]

i think the errors more about

        Preconditions.checkNotNull(world, "world cannot be NULL.");
        return this.structureModifier.withType(Integer.TYPE, BukkitConverters.getEntityConverter(world));
    }

some class named abstractstrecture

public Entity getTarget(World world) {
return handle.getEntityModifier(world).read(0);
}

handle is packetcontainer which comes from protocollib

[lost matrix]

What data do you want to get from what type of packet?

[dull whale]

i dont really know whatu mean by type of packet

but I want entity

[lost matrix]

org.bukkit.Entity from which packet?

[dull whale]

the client entity sent to server with parameters i suppose

[lost matrix]

What do you mean you suppose? What packet are you listening for?

[dull whale]

play client use entity??

[lost matrix]

PacketType.Play.Client.USE_ENTITY this one? @dull whale

[lime jolt]

guys does this make sense (tring to make a loop with ticks)

            Plugin plugin = null;
            task.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0, 1);```

import org.bukkit.scheduler.BukkitRunnable;

public class Loop extends BukkitRunnable

        if (ticks >= 100)
        {
            
            cancel();
            return;
        }
        ticks++;
    }
}```

[young knoll]

 Plugin plugin = null;
 task.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0, 1);

[lime jolt]

...

[young knoll]

That ain't gonna run chief

[lime jolt]

oh dam

[tall dragon]

is you want a title to get send 100 times in 5 seconds

[trail pilot]

why null lol

[lost matrix]

If you fix the first 3 lines then this will run something every tick for 100 ticks

[lime jolt]

idk

what plugin object am I supposed to put in

[trail pilot]

anyway, im trying to do max length and min leght for home with custom msg

[lime jolt]

how fix

[trail pilot]

but the logic is fucked

there are many else if

[lime jolt]

i am so confused about what the object Plugin really is

[fickle frost]

It's an instance of (very likely) your plugin.

Unless you've retrieved it from elsewhere.

[lime jolt]

but I dont have an instance called Plugin

I have Main and 3 other objects

[fickle frost]

Your plugin's main class extends JavaPlugin, no?

[lime jolt]

it does

[lavish hemlock]

Learn inheritance :p

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

[fickle frost]

Therefore your 'Main' is also a JavaPlugin and therefore you have an instance of JavaPlugin.

[lime jolt]

ok

so with this information

what would I put in

task.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0, 1);

that

instead of plugin

[fickle frost]

Your Main instance.

[lime jolt]

task.runTaskTimer(new Main(), 0, 1);

?

[fickle frost]

Absolutely not.

[lime jolt]

is that not creating an instance?

[fickle frost]

You should be using the instance that was already created by the server.

[lime jolt]

how do I use that

[fickle frost]

If you're creating that task in your Main class, then pass "this"

[lavish hemlock]

It does create an instance, you should just never instantiate Plugins.

[lime jolt]

no task is in a diffrent class

[lavish hemlock]

Then use dependency injection

?di

[undone axle]

Guide to dependency injection: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-dependency-injection/

[lime jolt]

???

[fickle frost]

Most plugin developers store their plugin instance as a singleton in their main class and use a static getter to fetch it from other classes.

I'm not going to argue about the validity of that design choice, but it is an option.

[lavish hemlock]

You shouldn't, though.

[lime jolt]

is there a work around to this, like could I just use while loops instead of ticks

I dont understand why a while loop aint working

[lavish hemlock]

No because while and the Scheduler are completely different

[fossil lily]

So im trying to make it so ythat when a chunk is unloaded, it teleports the entity to you. I get the message "Unloading", but the entity wont teleport. Any idea why?

[lavish hemlock]

It's to do with concurrency

[lost matrix]

    public Entity getClickedEntity(Player sender, PacketContainer packet, ProtocolManager manager) {
        Preconditions.checkArgument(packet.getType() == PacketType.Play.Client.USE_ENTITY);
        int entityID = packet.getIntegers().read(0);
        return manager.getEntityFromID(sender.getWorld(), entityID);
    }

[lime jolt]

but like while(true){do stuff} u know

[fervent gate]

Now this doesn't work due to the + in between the ChatColors, how can I make the text bold?

[lime jolt]

why cant I just do stuff

[fossil lily]

Add "" + at the beginning

[lavish hemlock]

Yeah that would block the main thread and cause the server to permanently freeze.

[fervent gate]

Yep, thanks!

[lime jolt]

but dont threads run sepreatly

[lavish hemlock]

The server runs on the main thread, the plugin runs on the main thread

[fossil lily]

Also I think the bold needs to go after you say its yellow

[lime jolt]

_<

tears of sadness

[lavish hemlock]

Running based off ticks w/ the scheduler is basically the only accurate, reliable way to do things.

[lime jolt]

does someone know how to dumbdown how to implement a "dependency injection"

[fickle frost]

Making some assumptions about your project design, you should pass 'this' as a parameter in the constructor to whatever class you're creating the task in, store it in an instance field, and use it when you go to make your task.

    }

It will send "true" in the console, but the player will still swim.

[hasty prawn]

take main class instance, when make other object, give main class instance

ta-da

[lavish hemlock]

public class Dependent {
    private final Plugin plugin;

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

There

That's all dependency injection is

[hasty prawn]

yeah that lol

[fickle frost]

^ As Maow has demonstrated.

[lavish hemlock]

The concept of dependency injection is that plugin is a "dependency," as our dependent class requires it to function.

[wet breach]

much wow

[lavish hemlock]

Instead of creating a new plugin, which (for Bukkit) can cause issues or (for everywhere) lead to sloppy code, we inject the dependency via the dependent class's constructor.

[young knoll]

Instead of creating a new plugin, which (for Bukkit) can cause issues

It will cause issues

[lime jolt]

so in my main class could I do something like

public static MyPlugin instance = this;

[young knoll]

As in, the plugin won't work

[wet breach]

you know there is a post somewhere on this already

[lavish hemlock]

No because that is not dependency injection.

[wet breach]

?DI

?di

[undone axle]

Guide to dependency injection: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-dependency-injection/

[fickle frost]

That's what you would call a singleton.

[lavish hemlock]

That is a singleton.

[lime jolt]

would a singleton not work?

[lavish hemlock]

Well it would work, it's just messier.

A lot of people advise against it

[fickle frost]

It would, but OOP fanatics hate it.

[lavish hemlock]

it's also unconventional

[wet breach]

wouldn't say messier, unnecessary more like it

[lime jolt]

oh ok

so how physically would I make this dependincy injection

[lavish hemlock]

See, in your plugin class you can just like
new Dependent(this)

[fickle frost]

If you're going to use a singleton, best practice is to at least hide it behind a static getter.

[lime jolt]

also when you refer to plugin class, you mean Main right?

[fickle frost]

But prefer dependency injection where at all possible.

[wet breach]

well you just remove the public method for it 😛

[lavish hemlock]

Yeah

[lime jolt]

alrigh altight

do I need to have like Dependent something = new Dependent(this)

or just

new Dependent(this)

so like

Dependent something = new Dependent(this)

[fickle frost]

Ay, there ya go.

[lime jolt]

less gooo

[lavish hemlock]

If you want to keep the instance of something, then yeah

[lime jolt]

okok

so I have done that

then in my other class

[fickle frost]

Store the JavaPlugin instance you've passed it, and access it when creating your task.

[lime jolt]

what would I add for inicitaing the ticks

[lime jolt]

"Store"

as in

is it not already stored?

in Main

[fickle frost]

Assuming you're not creating the task within your constructor, you'll need to store it in an instance field in order for it to not fall out of scope.

[lavish hemlock]

instance field*

[fickle frost]

Maow already gave an example.

[lavish hemlock]

Or actually "member field" might work better

[lime jolt]

field?!?!?!

....

[fickle frost]

public class Dependent {
private final Plugin plugin;

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

}

[lavish hemlock]

"field" is probably one of the most common terms aside from "method," "function," or "variable"

[lime jolt]

oh ok

[fickle frost]

'private final Plugin plugin' is the instance field in this case.

[rough drift]

the most common word in java: S y s t e m

[lime jolt]

ok so that has now been made

now what ._.

[fickle frost]

Now within your method for creating the task, you can use the plugin you've stored in that field.

[rough drift]

or

or

[lime jolt]

NO OR

[rough drift]

just use my lib

lmao

[lavish hemlock]

Don't use Ike's lib when it's not even finished lmao

[rough drift]

alot of it is finished

i only have two parts that aint

lmao

[lavish hemlock]

Also don't recommend libs to people who don't understand the basics

[fickle frost]

You're going to give him an aneurysm.

[rough drift]

fair

[lavish hemlock]

Okay so I'm going to assume you actually made a class called Dependent, in which case: no.

[lime jolt]

i started like 6 months ago, I consider myself pro in java (🤣)

[rough drift]

lmao

[lavish hemlock]

Haha yeah right

Anyway

[rough drift]

i started like, in 2017

[lime jolt]

tears roll down left eye

[lavish hemlock]

I started in 2019

[fickle frost]

I started in 2014 and I'm far from calling myself a Pro.

[lavish hemlock]

I personally am actually a pro

[lime jolt]

tear roles down right eye

[lavish hemlock]

But that's because I don't have a life

[rough drift]

i racommended someone my lib

[fickle frost]

That's what a non-pro would say.

[lavish hemlock]

I literally do nothing besides watch YouTube and code

[fickle frost]

Real pros realize they're not pros.

[lime jolt]

WAIT GUYS

[lime jolt]

what do I do with this

[fickle frost]

Be more specific.

[rough drift]

lmao, imagine thinking you're good

• this post was made by me, who think's i am trash

[carmine pecan]

Timer lag

[lime jolt]

Plugin plugin = null;
task.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0, 1);

that is what I had before

[rough drift]

hm

[lime jolt]

I remove Plugin plugin = null

[rough drift]

big brain time

[fickle frost]

That's a good first step.

[lime jolt]

and instead of plugin

in

task.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0, 1);

I add something else

something much more powerful

which iss ....

[fickle frost]

You're adding the JavaPlugin you stored.

Because you actually need to give it your plugin, not null.

[lime jolt]

dont I need an acessor to get the plugin thoigh

[rough drift]

unless you're using my lib

[lime jolt]

it is private

[fickle frost]

You've already created a reference to your plugin?

[lavish hemlock]

Okay so @lime jolt, that wasn't a suggestion to actually create a Dependent class, like I assume you did.

[fickle frost]

It'd be helpful if you maybe showed us your dependent class.

[lavish hemlock]

I used that as an example to show you the general idea of dependency injection.

[lime jolt]

wait slow down 2 steps back

[fickle frost]

We don't know what class you're creating a task in, so the name "Dependent" was used as an example.

[lime jolt]

is

    private final Plugin plugin;

    public Dependent(Plugin plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }
}````

that the dependincy class

[fickle frost]

That was supposed to be inside the class you're creating the task in.

[lime jolt]

or is my code the dependicy class where I do the tick

[rough drift]

        if(((Player) e.getEntity()).isSwimming()) ((Player) e.getEntity()).setSwimming(false);
    }

Looks like Player#setSwimming doesn't work, is this the right way to do it (I'm trying to block the player from sprint-swimming)?

[lime jolt]

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

there

[fickle frost]

I thought you were being pessimistic.

[lime jolt]

u can sell my code to elon musk if u guys want

but yeah

[tall dragon]

That code has to be divided into at least 3 methods

[lime jolt]

for now its ok

FOR NOW

line 77 is where I make mistake

[fickle frost]

crys inside

so

hi, the "skullOwner" method doesnt work anymore how can i do this in 1.18.1 ?

[quaint mantle]

Unchecked call to 'add(E)' as a member of raw type 'java.util.List'

[lime jolt]

            task.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0, 1);``` is this the code I now need

other than

[quaint mantle]

Can somebody explain this error to me?

[lime jolt]

this

[quaint mantle]

Very confused on what that means.

[tall dragon]

Look into the PlayerProfile class

[wooden fable]

But setSwimming is only called when the player is swimming, so Player#setSwimming doesn't seem to work...

[quaint mantle]

hello?

[lost matrix]

The ItemMeta needs to be of type SkullMeta

[signal meteor]

and what should i do with it ?

[chrome beacon]

The event is fired before it changes in the player object. Get what it's toggled to from the event

[quaint mantle]

nvm

[tall dragon]

In 1.18 it can be used to do this much better

[wooden fable]

Testing rn

[signal meteor]

how can i implement your idea in my code ?

[tall dragon]

does your runnable even begin

[lunar schooner]

Hey folks, I'm a little stuck in reflection wonderland again. I'm trying to instantiate a PacketPlayOutRespawn, which changed in 1.18.2. to require a Holder<DimensionManager>, I'm retrieving the holder like so:

Class<?> holderClass = ReflectionUtil.getMinecraftClass("core.Holder");
Object dimensionManagerHolder = ReflectionUtil.invokeMethod(holderClass, null, "a", new Class<?>[] { Object.class }, new Object[] { dimensionManager });

When calling the constructor I'm getting a argument type mismatch error, printing the holderclass and dimensionManagerHolder gives:

[16:56:15] [Server thread/INFO]: interface net.minecraft.core.Holder
[16:56:15] [Server thread/INFO]: class net.minecraft.core.Holder$a

While yes they are different, Holder$a implents Holder, so that should work should it not?

[lime jolt]

...

[lost matrix]

What speaks against using ProtocolLib?

[lunar schooner]

I don't want to switch 🙂

[lime jolt]

how do I make the thing run

._.

[tall dragon]

man, we have all explained that 25 times by now

[lime jolt]

;-;

[tall dragon]

and u were messing with it before

[lost matrix]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

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

[lime jolt]

Thread thread = new Thread();
?

[lunar schooner]

Btw, I'm using this method from Holder to get my instance of it:

  static <T> Holder<T> a(T var0) {
    return new a<>(var0);
  }
``` and that returns a Holder<T>, which PacketPlayOutRespawn accepts, so it should work I'd say

[crimson terrace]

scheduling is a nice thing

[tall dragon]

where do you start your runnable

[lime jolt]

umm

[tardy delta]

new a?

[lost matrix]

Make an assignableFrom check with the class

[lime jolt]

'thinking'

[tall dragon]

its probably somethn like runTaskTimer()

[lunar schooner]

This is from the MC source, a is a class 🙂

[tall dragon]

you should have that somewhere.

[tardy delta]

lel

[lime jolt]

here?

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

[lunar schooner]

dimensionManagerHolder is indeed assignable from holderClass

I've also tried holderClass.cast(dimensionManagerHolder);

[tall dragon]

yea, but are you sure that code is being executed?

[lime jolt]

Loop task = new Loop();
task.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0, 1);

        try {
            Thread.sleep(1000000);
        }
        catch(Exception e) {}
        
         boolean gameIsRunning = true;

Loop task = new Loop();
task.runTaskTimer(plugin, 0, 1);

dont mind the long thread.sleep

[tall dragon]

you should print a text message to console just before you start the runnable

[tardy delta]

never do the main thread sleep

neither other ones

[tall dragon]

yea, there are alot of issues. one at a time :D

[tardy delta]

in spigot context

[lime jolt]

how do I stop code then

thats why I catch the exceptions

[tardy delta]

it will stop the game from running

[tall dragon]

Thread#sleep on the main thread will stop the whole server from proccessing anything

[tardy delta]

what are you tryin to do?

[lime jolt]

but it is in an ObjEct

Not In THe Main

right/??

so it fine??!?!??

[tall dragon]

that has nothing to do with threads

[lime jolt]

?!?!?!?

[tardy delta]

what are you tryin to do?

[lime jolt]

ticks

I want to make a loop

[tardy delta]

just a loop?

[lime jolt]

yes

just a loop

[crimson terrace]

do scheduling

[lost matrix]

There is no real async loop. Best you can do is a repeated task.
As explained here:

[fossil lily]

In real life, X and Y is size to side, and Z is up. In minecraft Y is up. How does spigot work?

[lost matrix]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

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

[crimson terrace]

you can make a runnable run every couple of ticks or however frequent you want

[lost matrix]

Y is up

[tardy delta]

thats not just a loop

[fossil lily]

thanks

[tall dragon]

do you know why they decided to do that?

its so weird

[crimson terrace]

I thought I was tripping when you sent that XD

[fervent gate]

Code: Location loc = new Location(block.getWorld(), block.getX() + 0.5, block.getY() + 3.5, block.getZ() + 0.5); final Hologram hologram = HologramsAPI.createHologram(plugin, loc); hologram.appendItemLine(new ItemStack(Material.DIRT));

If anyone has experience with the holographicdisplays API, why are my holograms deleted after a restart. Everything works as intended, no errors.

[lost matrix]

Because Notch felt like defining its coordinate system like that

[tall dragon]

anonymous holograms get deleted on shutdown im pretty sure

u will need to recreate them on start

[fervent gate]

How can I make them non-anonymous?

[lost matrix]

Im always astound with how much plugins like Holographic Displays get away. They literally send all changes
to every player all the time and never unload a hologram for a player. Not even when the chunk unloads.

[tardy delta]

block.getLocation().clone().add(0.5, 3.5, 0.5) 😏

[fervent gate]

That does seem easier haha

[lost matrix]

You can even skip the cloning here

[tardy delta]

i never understood when you have to clone it

[tall dragon]

im not sure they provide api to do so

[lost matrix]

In older versions that messed up quite a bit. But nowadays you receive a cloned Location everywhere.

[crimson terrace]

when you dont want to edit the location you do the changes to maybe?

[fickle frost]

You expect so much!

[tardy delta]

nowadays does that also mean 1.17?

    }

[lost matrix]

at least 1.13+

[fervent gate]

Storing every location in a db and then creating them would work?

[tall dragon]

thats what i would do yea

[fervent gate]

Alr, thx

[fickle frost]

Did you remember to register your listener?

[wooden fable]

Yes i did

[tardy delta]

try setting the swimming to false and cancelling the event?

[wooden fable]

So just both?

[tardy delta]

i would give it a try

as in the second one, you set the swimming to false but still allow the toggle which sets it to true i guess

doesnt make sense lol

[fickle frost]

It’s interesting that the event is cancellable but the cancel supposedly isn’t respected.

[wooden fable]

Didn't work

[tardy delta]

add a sysout?

to make sure its called

[ebon stratus]

how do i make an entity look at a block (NMS) ?

[wooden fable]

I have done that already

[tardy delta]

hmm weird

[lost matrix]

Set its head direction in the direction of the Block.

[tardy delta]

wondering if you just change the yaw or pitch of the players location that will immediately affect the players view

[lunar schooner]

hey folks, what did isFlatWorld get renamed to in net.minecraft.level.WorldServer? In 1.18.1 and prior it was D(), but that seems to be a long now. Mini's mapping viewer doesn't have WorldServer either

[quaint mantle]

How would I get the items Position that I clicked it on in a inventoryUI?

(EXAMPLE: If an item were in the third slot, and I clicked it, it return 3)

[tardy delta]

event.getSlot / event.getRawSlot

[lapis widget]

nee man

[wooden fable]

🇳🇱

[tardy delta]

sus

🇧🇪

[ancient jackal]

That’s how it is in many 3D environments, Y is even vertical on 2D graphs in algebra. Z is the third dimension introduced which is depth

[lunar schooner]

Ah, seems it is C now

[quaint mantle]

how do I get an inventories name?

EX: If a chest was named "Epic", it return epic

(sorry lol)

(im making a shop ui)

[tardy delta]

are Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1) and Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor() the same?

[ivory sleet]

myes

as of now

but that might change in the future

[lean gull]

is there an event for when an armorstand touches any block? like if it was launched towards a celling, a wall or the floor

[gleaming grove]

hi does somebody know how to fix this kind of error? I tried to reset Intelji, reload project, reset PC and none of those thinks had helped

[tardy delta]

reloaded your pom?

if using maven

[quaint mantle]

ty

[gleaming grove]

meh does'nt help

ok my bad, i was running spigot project instead of build it

[viral crag]

strange package name

[fickle frost]

That would be quite the specific event.

[tardy delta]

strange ide lol

[viral crag]

blockchangeevent

[fickle frost]

Doubt a block gets changed when an armor stand collides with a ceiling.

[viral crag]

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

ArrmorStand being an Entity and all

[tardy delta]

EntityColideEvent or is that only entities with each other?

[viral crag]

mmm isnt that only on ones affected by knockback?

[tardy delta]

dunno lol

[lean gull]

so... what do i do

i could use a projectile but that's lame

[viral crag]

did you not read what i gave you?

[lean gull]

but they don't change the block when they collide

or atleast i don't think they do

[viral crag]

i didnt give you the collide one

[lean gull]

?

[fickle frost]

If you have a reference to the armor stand stored, you could run a repeating task that uses its velocity to determine the next block in its path and checks if it’s solid or not.

[viral crag]

EntityBlockChangeEvent->Block->https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/block/Block.html#getCollisionShape() -> https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/util/VoxelShape.html#overlaps(org.bukkit.util.BoundingBox)

[lean gull]

btw this is what i'm tryna do, it's for bounce physics

just sharing in case anyone has a better method for doing so

[fickle frost]

Why don't you want to use projectiles?

[lean gull]

idk

feels like it'd be better with just the armorstand

(i wanna have an armorstand to have a head on it for the bouncy ball)

[night torrent]

how would I make a straight line of air to bedrock from the player?

or even break the bedrock

[fickle frost]

Could use a custom model for the projectile.

[fickle frost]

If you want to break all blocks down to bedrock at a location, iterate down to void using the y value of the starting coordinate and set every block at those coordinates to air?

[night torrent]

But how would I set every block to air?

block.setType(Material.AIR)?

[fickle frost]

Yep

[night torrent]

thanks

[night torrent]

I'm sorry, Im really new to spigot. How would I iterate down to void?

[viral crag]

you know how to count?

[night torrent]

1 2 4 3 5 obviously

[viral crag]

then you would go from your location to the bottom

[night torrent]

for loop?

[viral crag]

depending if you are using worldedit api, yes

[night torrent]

well im not

[quaint mantle]

How do you add command argument suggestion??

For example, /rank [set/remove/add..] and it gives you a suggestion list of what you can use?
Example of a usage:

[viral crag]

then yes, you would have to handle each block

[rough drift]

?tabcompleter

aw

its not a command

[night torrent]

using arguments

[rough drift]

tab completers bruh

[tardy delta]

override TabCompleter#onTabComplete (let your command class extend it is the easiest way)

[tribal holly]

Hello ! Is it normal that the Block::breakNaturally doesn't drop XP of the block ?

[rough drift]

no make another tab completer class

[quaint mantle]

I'll take a look at it right now, thanks everyone for the help!

[tardy delta]

GRR

[tacit drift]

yes

[viral crag]

the only unknown variable would depend on your version of server

[night torrent]

1.18.2

[tribal holly]

well not cool, is there a way to implement xp drop properly or did i need to calculate all potential xp of the block ?

[viral crag]

then you know and would use the new max depth from your location

[night torrent]

?

[tardy delta]

when i have an executor service with a few threads and i add a few tasks in the order: task 1 first, then task 2, etc. Is it possible that the outcome doesnt execute task 1 first and then 2 etc because of the number of threads?

[night torrent]

so get the lowest block?

[viral crag]

you know the lowest block, you need your y coordinate and remove everything inbetween

[night torrent]

I have the y cords with player.getLoc().getBlockY, but how would I remove everythin in between?

count and set every block to air

[night torrent]

alright

[viral crag]

if you utilized teh worldedit api, you would only need the start and end coordinates

[fickle frost]

for (int y = startingY; y >= world.getMinHeight(); y--) {
  world.getBlockAt(x, y, z).setType(Material.AIR);
}

Something along those lines.

[night torrent]

thank you guys for your help!

[viral crag]

decriment after ... should stop at bedrock?

[fickle frost]

Yeah my bad.

[viral crag]

he said either - just verifying in my head that java decriments after the test this way

[fickle frost]

If you don't want to break bedrock, check if the block at the coord is bedrock, and if so, break out of the loop rather than changing it to air.

[lean gull]

anyone have a good tutorial on the basics of vectors in spigot? i google searched but didn't find anything helpful

i wanna make a circle with particles

[quaint mantle]

My next question now is, are you able to use it on the 1/2/3rd argument or just the first one ?

[rough drift]

check argument length

[fickle frost]

Did you just agree to your own message, Ike?

[rough drift]

yes

ofc

[tardy delta]

how i did it
https://github.com/FourteenBrush/MagmaBuildNetworkReloaded/blob/6004451d00764cd4a375f426627b1a73af66210b/src/main/java/me/fourteendoggo/MagmaBuildNetworkReloaded/commands/NewHomeCommand.java#L88

[fickle frost]

(int)home.location().getX(),
There is #getBlockX(), which returns an int.

[tardy delta]

Location#getBlockX?

[rough drift]

i most of the times react to reactions on my msgs

[fickle frost]

Yeah.

[tardy delta]

oeh i should use that

[fickle frost]

I can appreciate the consistency.

[tardy delta]

😊

[fickle frost]

Oh, I was talking to Ike, not you.

[tardy delta]

🙁

[rough drift]

lmao

[fickle frost]

There there. I'm sure you're very consistent in your own way too.

[rough drift]

Theather in 4 messages

[tardy delta]

im sad now

[rough drift]

eat a taco

[tardy delta]

i've probably never eaten that lol

[viral crag]

extra hot salsa - remember if you don't cry you didnt try

[grim ice]

how to loop through a bounding box blocks

[viral crag]

a what?

[tardy delta]

i just ate ice cream

[grim ice]

a bounding box

[tardy delta]

the blocks which a bounding box covers?

[grim ice]

yeah

[viral crag]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/util/BoundingBox.html this collection ?

[grim ice]

isnt there some cool .getBlocks() methods

[rough drift]

bro i am drowning myself in water bottle

[grim ice]

yea

[tardy delta]

why?

[lost matrix]

In BoundingBox?

[tardy delta]

nah

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/util/BoundingBox.html

[rough drift]

you can use

my lib!

i got a region thingy

[grim ice]

ye

[rough drift]

which you can use a populator for

[viral crag]

what part of it would you be looping through or looking for?

[rough drift]

:P

[grim ice]

No

:)

[rough drift]

yes

:)

[tardy delta]

probably manually looping based on the #getX and #getZ stuff

[rough drift]

its much easier using a lib

[grim ice]

thats what i dont wanna do

[grim ice]

if i wanna do it

ill make my own lib

[tardy delta]

maths kek

[lost matrix]

I got this utility method if you want to use it:

  public static void forEachBlock(final BoundingBox box, final World world, final Consumer<Block> blockConsumer) {
    for (int x = (int) box.getMinX(); x <= (int) box.getMaxX() - 1; x++) {
      for (int y = (int) box.getMinY(); y <= (int) box.getMaxY() - 1; y++) {
        for (int z = (int) box.getMinZ(); z <= (int) box.getMaxZ() - 1; z++) {
          blockConsumer.accept(world.getBlockAt(x, y, z));
        }
      }
    }
  }

[tardy delta]

kekw my head

[grim ice]

o dayum

[rough drift]

but the why

[viral crag]

the consumer is pacman!

[tardy delta]

is cast to int or -1 executed first?

i forgot

[rough drift]

i think -1

[lost matrix]

Im currently really getting into kotlin and i which java had extension methods...

[rough drift]

yes

but, did you try scala's operator overloading?

[grim ice]

@ExtensionMethod

uwu

lombok my beloved

[tardy delta]

what are extension methods?

[rough drift]

lombok can go do something i can't say here

[lost matrix]

cast is executed first.
Now that i look at it i could actually make this a bit better.

[vivid cave]

how can I convert an itemframe's itemstack to ItemFrame (entity)
I wanna change its properties: item that it is holding, fixed, and visible

[tardy delta]

oh right

[grim ice]

e.g: "diamond".substring(0, 1);

[rough drift]

you can make like

fun Player.test() {

}

myPlayerObject.test()

[grim ice]

yeah

injecting a method

into a class

[rough drift]

and using this inside the method refers to the object you called the method on

which makes sense

[tardy delta]

so writing a method outside of a class but throw it to a certain class?

[grim ice]

ye

[tardy delta]

weird

[grim ice]

its mad pog

[tardy delta]

why would you even-

[rough drift]

because

you can define

things that you can't normally use can be added

[lost matrix]

Its more of a wrapper than actual injection. You cant use any private fields/methods in there. So in reality its just a static method
that receives the object as a parameter.

[grim ice]

hm

thats cool

[lost matrix]

So you want to change an ItemStack of type ITEM_FRAME so it will have different properties when
placed later on?

[vivid cave]

exactly

[left swift]

how can i make entity look at player?

[tardy delta]

LivingEntity#setTarget iirc?

[left swift]

hmm, i want to use only yaw and pitch, because i want to rotate only armorstands head

[tardy delta]

can someone answer this?

[lost matrix]

Hm thats a bit tricky because the ItemFrame is not a Block. So it wont have a BlockDataMeta.

[lost matrix]

Yes you have no guarantee about the order.

[vivid cave]

yeah and there ain't any ItemFrameMeta class

but it's definitly possible cuz it's doable with commands

[lost matrix]

I think you might have to use PDCs and some trickery including player clicks

[lost matrix]

I see. Then lets search for an api approach first.

[vivid cave]

^^

[lost matrix]

Might be there but ive never seen this

[vivid cave]

give @s minecraft:item_frame{EntityTag: {Fixed: 1b, Invisible: 1b}}

this gives you an invisible & fixed item frame

[tardy delta]

wdym fixed?

[vivid cave]

when you place it, it will in fact be invisible and fixed

[viral crag]

would need to use a state check

[vivid cave]

it can float in the air without support block, it's not sticked to any block

[lost matrix]

So thats at least the structure if we would have to use something like nbtapi or nms for this

[vivid cave]

i use nms for other stuff anyway

i'd prefer to avoid using nbtapi tho cuz i don't use it

[lost matrix]

But we want to set the Fixed tag to 1 and the Invisible tag to 1. And preferably by using spigot

[vivid cave]

^^

[tardy delta]

because the tasks are assigned to threads so the speed of the threads determines the outcome order?

might be wrong im still learning it

[lost matrix]

I mean you can probably make this happen by using spigot#unsafe

[viral crag]

there is nothing to say that the thread is not interrupted or deferred

[rough drift]

should i add

nms lib

to omnilib

i hate having to deal with fixing serialization rn

its a pain in the ass

[tardy delta]

ah so interrupted threads will get tasks too?

[rough drift]

xD

[lost matrix]

It could also be that some of the threads are currently occupied or the internal performance of providing new threads differs.

[tardy delta]

ah

i get it

lets continue watching that tutorial kek

[vivid cave]

what does this do exactly and how do u use it? i can't find that method in docs

[lost matrix]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/UnsafeValues.html#modifyItemStack(org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack,java.lang.String)

[viral crag]

you have to remember that threads get priorities as well

[lost matrix]

Bukkit.getUnsafe().modifyItemStack(ItemStack, String)

[vivid cave]

i see

[lost matrix]

I think the String would be

{EntityTag: {Fixed: 1b, Invisible: 1b}}

But im not sure. Never used this before.

[visual tide]

is that for modifying nbt directly?

[warm trout]

Yeah, meant mobs, how would I place it on their head

Im pretty much clueless

[rough drift]

if thats the case

imma just

make an entire lib for that

o_O

[warm trout]

I know Mythicmobs can do it, but I'm tryna do it within my plugin

[visual tide]

nbtapi exists

[rough drift]

i am working on my own lib

called omnilib

you can see what i am aiming for

[vivid cave]

i'll try, but i'll also need to be able to access information of what item the itemframe holds, and what are current configs for fixed and invisible, before setting stuff

[lost matrix]

Get their equipment and place an ItemStack on the head slot...

[lost matrix]

Are you on the latest version?

[vivid cave]

yep

[lost matrix]

Then just use moj mappings and use nms. If you already use nms then this is probably the most convenient route.

But this smells PR-y

[vivid cave]

PR-y?

[visual tide]

pull request-ish

[vivid cave]

aha, i still don't get what he meant by that tho

[digital haven]

Does anyone know how to exclude a dependency from the output jar in maven? I'm importing another plugin and spigot doesn't like it when you're importing a jar that's already installed as a plugin.

[warm trout]

The thing, is I'm not even sure how to get the item, the model is generated using ModelEngine

[lost matrix]

Change its scope to provided

[digital haven]

thanks

[viral crag]

why would you not set it as a dependency ?

[digital haven]

Spigot doesn't like it

[viral crag]

show your pom

[digital haven]

I fixed it

[mighty bane]

Can someone explain this to us, so we have a plug-in that checks for when someone left clicks, and it summons a fireball. However the fireball also appears whenever you drop an item, and occasionally whenever you open a door. Does anyone know why this happens?

[viral crag]

did you check which hand?

[lost matrix]

After reading his issue several times i came to the conclusion that his problem isnt dependency related.
He just shaded the dependency in because of mavens default scope. He just had to make it provided.

[mighty bane]

?

Do you mean which hand the item is in?

[digital haven]

The problem was there being 2 of the same classes and I was getting cast exceptions

[viral crag]

yeah that makes sense, one of the reasons i stopped using maven

[viral crag]

you can left click in both hands, you need to know which one you are checking

[lost matrix]

You can have the same problem with gradle... idk why this is a valid reason

[mighty bane]

But why would that trigger when you drop an item?

[viral crag]

you can, but the setup is clearer

[mighty bane]

playerInteractEvent.getAction().isLeftClick()

[lost matrix]

What version are you on? I remember this being a problem in an older version.

[mighty bane]

1.18.2

[tiny wolf]

Is there a way to change the metadata of an itemstack after it's been added to an inventory without just setting the slot again?

[lost matrix]

"This is because the LEFT_CLICK_AIR in PlayerInteract event is essentially a hack and listens to your arm swinging. Now that dropping items swings your arm, it fires LEFT_CLICK_AIR if you're not looking at a block."

[mighty bane]

Ah okay

[lost matrix]

Sure. Get the ItemStack from the inventory and apply a different ItemMeta to it.

[mighty bane]

So anyway to stop it from triggering?

[tiny wolf]

Is there a way with the original itemstack of getting the new one?

Or a way to get where the same itemstack is in the inv

[lost matrix]

You should not hold references to ItemStacks in hopes of modifying it in other places.

[tiny wolf]

No kidding I already understood they clone it when adding to inventory

[lost matrix]

ItemStack is a really werid API layer that might lose its nms reference at any time in quite unpredicting events

[tiny wolf]

The reference just can't be used from what I've understood

I might just do it in packets, which is anyways better for what I'm doing

[lost matrix]

What are you trying to do anyways?

[tiny wolf]

Buy God damn are packets a pain sometimes

[tiny wolf]

I made a dynamic item system

It's pretty nice and basically done other then this issue

[lost matrix]

Oh i also made one. All the data is stored in PDCs and how this raw data is displayed is
defined by a neat little adapter that changes all outgoin ItemStack packets.

[tiny wolf]

PDC?

[lost matrix]

PersistentDataContainer.

[tiny wolf]

Ah ye, I just am storing in nbt since I wanted it to work 1.8-1.18 so I just used nbt api

[lost matrix]

This way the same ItemStack could look different to several people.
Or if we want to change the design of how an ItemStack is displayed we dont
have to touch the ItemStack at all. We just change the adapter a bit.

[tiny wolf]

Nice nice

Is it os?

Or not at all

[lost matrix]

Whats "os"?

[tiny wolf]

open source

[lost matrix]

+oh no its not

But its not too hard with ProtocolLib

[tiny wolf]

https://paste.helpch.at/bohevikeze.json doesn't need to do that exactly, it's more just super handy for custom items. You just make a json like this and write a tiny bit of code to intreract

it would allow something like this to be created super duper easily with no code

[lost matrix]

Yeah basically like this
