[noble lantern]

False

[west oxide]

lol

jkjkjk

is this the one am looking for if i want to do something when they touch an item in inventory ?

or this ?

[crisp steeple]

no

InventoryClickEvent

[young knoll]

^

[west oxide]

oh okay thank you

[young knoll]

First one is for hoppers

Second one is abstract and cannot be listened to

[west oxide]

inventoryMoveItemEvent ?

then how can i cancel players moving items around their inventory ?

is it the same one ?

[crisp steeple]

its just inventoryclickevent

[noble lantern]

^

[west oxide]

and them dropping items with inventory open ?

[tall dragon]

InventoryClickEvent

[crisp steeple]

yeah but they could still drop by pressing q

if you want to disable that that would be itemdropevent

[west oxide]

yeah how to fix that

[tall dragon]

that also fired inv click

[west oxide]

ah thank you

[tall dragon]

dropping with q ^

[young knoll]

Yeah that’s still a click if an inventory is open

[crisp steeple]

might not have been the exact name

[tall dragon]

just use invclick

its fired for dropping with q as well.

[west oxide]

okay thank you

amma try

and see if it works

[crisp steeple]

the actual name is PlayerDropItemEvent

[west oxide]

yeah with this one they can still drop using q with inv open

i tried it

[crisp steeple]

ok yeah

playerdropevent is for dropping it from your hotbar

if you're cancelling all inventoryclickevents in the inventory it should stop items dropping in the inventory

[west oxide]

yeah

[tall dragon]

did u cancel the event?

ah wait

i read wrong ingore that

[sand vector]

would you use the var UUID to transfer a uuid over files? or just Strings

[young knoll]

You want to convert a uuid to something you can store in a file?

[noble lantern]

uuid.toString()

UUID.fromString(string) for loading

[young knoll]

^ best way for text files

[sand vector]

cheers

[craggy sapphire]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[craggy sapphire]

could anyone help me with these issues?

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

[noble lantern]

Inventory.getView().getName() for newer versions

But yes, use holders

[echo basalt]

having an extremely weird issue rn

I made a system where you can grab entities and throw them

for some reason, falling blocks seem to change their UUIDs whenever collisions are checked

either that or Bukkit.getEntity doesn't work for falling blocks 🤔

[young knoll]

No holders bad

Use views

[echo basalt]

no views bad

[noble lantern]

I cant tell if hes meming or not

[echo basalt]

just use the nms container ID

[dire marsh]

components bad

[echo basalt]

guaranteed to work

trust me

[noble lantern]

It should

[dire marsh]

dont use components

[noble lantern]

Falling sand would get considered an entity only for the time its falling

[echo basalt]

what if I call setGravity(false)

that might be the problem tbh

[young knoll]

Should still be an entity

[echo saddle]

Is there a meta implementation for experience on an experience bottle

[noble lantern]

Not sure about that method tbf

[noble lantern]

Isn't there a ExperienceBottle class

Could be wrong

[echo basalt]

no

you need to use events for that

[echo saddle]

nms has methods for the itemstack, but seems like no meta for item in bukkit, only event

i don't want an event

[noble lantern]

Then as illusion said, events

[echo basalt]

pretty sure experience bottles are entities that drop exp when they "die" aka get thrown

might be wrong

[noble lantern]

PotionSplashEvent might get called using it, not sure

[echo saddle]

well, experience bottls are itemstack of Material.EXPERIENCE_BOTTLE that has methods for setExp and getExp.

in nms that is

[echo basalt]

odd

[noble lantern]

So why not use NMS to set the exp then?

[echo basalt]

NMS is kinda weird

items by default have food info

which is nullable

[noble lantern]

Mmm stone food info

[echo basalt]

but that's the only nullable type of data shared across all items

[young knoll]

I mean if it has methods for that

Then make a pr

[tall dragon]

ahh yes some bedrock. that will fill my apetite.

[young knoll]

Or at least an issue ticket

[echo basalt]

oh yeah speaking of that

[desert musk]

should i use custom config files for purely internal data storage

[noble lantern]

I reccomend json for data storage imo

[young knoll]

Or sql

[noble lantern]

Spigot comes shipped eith a gson instance

^

[echo basalt]

:)

[noble lantern]

No

Why

What

Who?

[young knoll]

Hold up

[desert musk]

huh?????

[hexed hatch]

Did you do that without resource packs

[young knoll]

You can do that?

[echo basalt]

no I had to use a resourcepack

[hexed hatch]

If so, I want to see this code immediately

Oh

[echo basalt]

that I generated automatically

[young knoll]

Dangit

[noble lantern]

Okay was about to say

[echo basalt]

but hey I can eat any item in the game

[hexed hatch]

God damn it

[echo basalt]

and mobs too

[noble lantern]

Show

[hexed hatch]

I really thought you had found some magical way to make nonedible items edible

I had so many ideas

[young knoll]

Still don’t have a nice eating animation for my player heads

[echo basalt]

I did reimplement all the vanilla features so all of it works

armor, crafting recipes

[tall dragon]

[noble lantern]

Can someone pin that cursed video pls

[echo basalt]

block breaking

[young knoll]

That’s a lot of effort for a meme

[echo basalt]

not a meme

I actually got paid for this

:)

[desert musk]

this is what happens when you follow a bunch of separate tutorials for one project 💀

does anyone wanna nag me so that i get better uhh

orthodox coding

[echo basalt]

The code is kinda funky

[noble lantern]

.options().copyDefaults()?

[echo basalt]

I went through all the items in the game and wrote a 100 line method that automatically maps each item to an ID

[desert musk]

yikes

[echo basalt]

then I saved each ID on a yml file so I could parse it on the plugin

[noble lantern]

saveDefaultConfig()

[desert musk]

lmfao

[echo basalt]

Then I filtered invalid items

[young knoll]

People pay for weird things

[echo basalt]

the yml looks like this

[desert musk]

ok so from what i'm hearing this isn't that bad for java programmers

lol

[echo basalt]

I also had to go through the language files to get the original item names

[noble lantern]

That requireNonNull isn't needed

[echo basalt]

which is mapped

[noble lantern]

You should know if its null or not

[desert musk]

yeah ik was just making github commits at first and it sent me warnings so i thought it was necessary to resolve those warnings

[echo basalt]

and I also made a registry for all blocks each tool can break so I can automatically convert the "fake" tools to the real tools whenever you start breaking a block

[desert musk]

bruh

[echo basalt]

I think that project took me like 3 days to make?

[noble lantern]

If you want a warning free file, sure go for it but its not necessarily needed

[desert musk]

yea

[tall dragon]

be a chad and share this :D

[echo basalt]

I mean just look through the game files and do some basic regex

[desert musk]

idk i just find the non-scoped unrelated onEnable() bullshit to look weird

[echo basalt]

the first step is just extracting the resourcepack from the game

second step is opening all the folders

[tall dragon]

ctrl C + ctrl V is easier tho :(

[desert musk]

lol

[echo basalt]

you still have to parse stuff

all these items are namespacedkeys

[craggy sapphire]

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

can anyone

help me fix?

server wont start because of this

[echo basalt]

corrupted map most likely

#help-server

[noble lantern]

Is this a question related to some code you wrote?

^

[craggy sapphire]

no

my server is crashing

[noble lantern]

This is for Java development help, try #help-server like illusion said

[echo basalt]

I wonder

What is the most common usage for packets?

I'm thinking on writing an extensive packet tutorial and kinda need to know what are the most important packets to talk about

[young knoll]

Client side entities

[noble lantern]

I would say particles but that api got added to spigot a while ago

[noble lantern]

^^^^^

Client sided blocks too

[echo basalt]

Ah crap I'm having flashbacks

[noble lantern]

Like Claims plugin

[echo basalt]

I've made client-side entities

[echo basalt]

there's sendBlockChange

[noble lantern]

Oh guess spigot api is evolving then

[echo basalt]

it took me 10 hours of debugging to figure out why items were floating

it was a client prediction

[young knoll]

sendBlockChange is old

[echo basalt]

true

[noble lantern]

Tf

[young knoll]

Like, 1.8 old

[noble lantern]

Alright then

Never done it myself always assumed it just used packets

[echo basalt]

I think the most repetitive code I've made and always hated

was writing a schematic -> clientside block parser

where stairs actually worked

client-side entities are fun because metadata packets are horribly designed

and I crashed my client enough times to know what to avoid

[desert musk]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/json-configuration-files.212794/
following this guide but it gives me a myriad of errors

do you have a guide that you can recommend?

[echo basalt]

proprietary

[noble lantern]

Yeah naw that guide is dookie

One sec

[echo basalt]

just write your data to a byte[]

[noble lantern]

You can save and load json against Java classes

[echo basalt]

then write that into a file

[noble lantern]

Using serialization

[echo basalt]

then load it

and instead of having a neat human-readable file

you get an extremely small file that needs a hex editor to debug

[desert musk]

lol

[young knoll]

At that point why not just use sql

[echo basalt]

but hey you can turn millions of records into a 20kb file

[desert musk]

idfk i'm using this so i can store data for a custom structure i'm making in my plugin

[echo basalt]

proprietary it is

[desert musk]

trying to have a structure that's bound to an entity and stores ids of multiple users

[echo basalt]

What type of structure?

hmm

[noble lantern]

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/gson/gson_object_serialization.htm

👌

[desert musk]

basically the plugin is making a custom entity that can hold multiple players' respawn points

it's less dumb than that

[echo basalt]

hmm

[desert musk]

but that's all you need to know

[echo basalt]

if you want absolute minimal file size

[desert musk]

i'm fine with whatever man i just started writing plugins

[noble lantern]

Object serialization is as simple as you can get for raw json storage especially if your new to java

[echo basalt]

you can do it in about 17 bytes + 16 bytes / player

🤔

[desert musk]

🤷‍♂️

i just wanna know the best course of action

[desert musk]

🙏 tyty

[echo basalt]

or just do it in YML as like

[noble lantern]

Tbf json files are already small

[echo basalt]

<id>:
  - id1
  - id2

[desert musk]

thought about this but seems sketchy

[echo basalt]

json is just yml but with braces

[desert musk]

really?

[noble lantern]

Json is faster than yaml

[echo basalt]

and faster to read because the braces are a guide

[desert musk]

so it's not uncommon practice to store stuff like this in yml?

[noble lantern]

No its not

[desert musk]

oh ok

sweet

[noble lantern]

You CAN use yml, but imo you shouldnt

[desert musk]

but i still wanna learn json storage

[echo basalt]

not at all, but more experienced developers tend to avoid it

[desert musk]

yeah i figured alr

[echo basalt]

if you have a big yml file, and it's not being loaded async

your server might take minutes to start

[noble lantern]

^

[desert musk]

it's not big

it'd only be like at most 50 lines

[noble lantern]

By the sounds of hes not storing much data though

[desert musk]

yeah

[echo basalt]

which is why I go proprietary and make a 5kb file containing everyone's ip address and social security number

[desert musk]

i should still learn json storage though

i really don't like to do stuff like this non-canonically

[noble lantern]

So yml would be fine for him, but if your wanting to learn more use json/sql

[desert musk]

or traditionally rather

[noble lantern]

Look into Object serialization i sent, its stupidly simple

[desert musk]

sweet

[noble lantern]

🤣

[desert musk]

lol

how'd that message go unnoticed to me

[noble lantern]

PlayerJoinEvent#getSocialSecurityNumber()

[desert musk]

lol

[echo basalt]

an ip address is 4 bytes

[noble lantern]

Md_5 get to adding that method pls

[echo basalt]

it can be represented as an int

[noble lantern]

Typically with Java plugins theres no real need to shrink things down so far

Enterprise applications; sure yeah

But for player data files I wouldn't see a purpose

Even with 10k players joining if your just storing say stuff for your own vault economy I doubt you'd go over 100mb in storage

[ivory sleet]

I mean even enterprise sometimes uses cheap mock implementations such as just yml flat file to test a few things out

[noble lantern]

Hell, doubt it would even hit 50mb

[noble lantern]

Indeed but it wouldn't be pushed to production (i hope)

[echo basalt]

given an SSN is restricted to 9 digits, and each digit has 10 combinations, I can probably assign a specific bit set and store an entire ssn in about 5 bytes

🤔

[noble lantern]

So this is what overthinking looks like

😂

Jkjk

[ivory sleet]

I know of a bank which sadly hasn’t migrated from a binary flat file format system as their persistence implementation, but yeah just hope :3

[noble lantern]

Please don't tell me it's chase

[ivory sleet]

Sorry to tell you

[noble lantern]

NOOOO

[ivory sleet]

Without fail it’s what they use

Lol

[noble lantern]

😢

God damnit

[echo basalt]

source: you downloaded it

[ivory sleet]

Lol

[echo basalt]

I'd only be disgusted if it wasn't compressed

[noble lantern]

Twitch leaks but instead its chase leaks

[ivory sleet]

Well I heard it from a friend’s dad, who is a Java fundamentalist, not sure if they still use that thing but yeah

[noble lantern]

im sure they are

[ivory sleet]

I think they compressed it

Not sure

[noble lantern]

"If it aint broke dont fix it"

[ivory sleet]

Lmao ye

[echo basalt]

then it's fine

bet they just sync it across all machines

and run a big if check

[noble lantern]

cpu usage go brrrrt

[ivory sleet]

Lmao bet

[echo basalt]

which is why ATMs take forever to read cards

[desert musk]

I'm just not sure how i actually implement this ngl

[noble lantern]

sec

[echo basalt]

they can't afford the ram to cache the bank details or something

[noble lantern]

might have an example on one of my projects

[desert musk]

oo

[noble lantern]

https://github.com/Burchard36/BurchAPI/blob/main/src/main/java/com/burchard36/json/PluginJsonWriter.java

Line 36 and 51 you can look into this, and then look into JsonDataFile as its how i store the File object in this project

use transient for variables you dont want written to a JSON object

[desert musk]

oh sick

[ivory sleet]

Interesting that you decided to go with a record class

[noble lantern]

wait wtf

just realized that

oohhh fuck

[ivory sleet]

Lol

[noble lantern]

mixed those 2 classes up

[desert musk]

lmfao

[noble lantern]

JsonDataFile should of been a record

smh

But, dont look at classes, just how the gson is actually used

I do reccomend you look into how all this works though, so you know how to write it yourself without needing an example

[desert musk]

yeah

for now i'll just use yml because i already have that in my project and people are waiting on me to release this to a server lol

[noble lantern]

i hope this is your own server and not someone hired you to do this lol

[desert musk]

my own lmao

[noble lantern]

okay good

[desert musk]

yes i'm get paid $800 to do this 😄

[waxen plinth]

brag

[noble lantern]

would be awkward if you got hired onto a server and said you knew how to do everything and got paid for it lmao

[desert musk]

hehehe

that would be funny

[noble lantern]

meanwhile, i offer servers free java development and get denied

[desert musk]

i wanna do that now

rip

maybe you can help develop my garbage

[waxen plinth]

maybe you need to be better at java

[desert musk]

but i feel like its my mess to sort

[waxen plinth]

go to java dot com to learn more java

level up your java skills

[desert musk]

lol

[noble lantern]

sorry im working with AE currently so that offers of the table

[desert musk]

nice

[eternal night]

java.com do be the best tutorial place out there

Nothing beats that 🙏

[noble lantern]

im only level 3 java rn

[waxen plinth]

you know it

[noble lantern]

30/50 EXP for level 4

[desert musk]

lmao

[noble lantern]

codecademy ftw

cant remember if i used java.com when i first started learning

[waxen plinth]

there is no other way

[noble lantern]

wait thats just the site to download java LMFAO

dev.java

https://dev.java/learn/getting-started-with-java/

Oh yeah

making my first class boys

ngl, totally forgot how to compile java without gradle/maven by now

[echo basalt]

I legit don't know what I'm doing wrong

fallingsand just seems to not want to have a UUID

https://sourceb.in/dakfgOBKRb

"entity not found"

[noble lantern]

Does that setGravity turn it back to a solid block?

or still make it so you can pass through it

[echo basalt]

no

it makes a weird state where removing the block makes a ghost entity

but it's the best I got

and it still has gravity

I just honestly just set a counter-gravity speed every tick

[noble lantern]

weird, ive never really experimented with this so its odd you cant grab that entity by UUID, maybe @quaint mantle might have an idea about this

[noble lantern]

ah i see

[echo basalt]

let's hope this works

[desert musk]

should I store a playerlist as a list of UUIDs? 🤔

[noble lantern]

wait

[echo basalt]

that's not the fallingblock

that's just the regular block

[noble lantern]

And yes

Storing UUID's > Storing Player instances

[desert musk]

gucci

[echo basalt]

I don't think block data is mutable

might be wrong

[noble lantern]

best bet is to add debug logs after every line and figure out wheres it stops being an entity at

[echo basalt]

the entity just decides to not exist on the server

might be a hidden air fallingsand

because mutability

[noble lantern]

Have you checked if its an entity right after you spawnFallingBlock?

[echo basalt]

yeah it is an entity

I did some checks prior

calling getEntity on that tick works

[noble lantern]

and next tick it just decides it doesnt wanna be an entity anymore?

[echo basalt]

pretty much yeah

[noble lantern]

javadocs arent very helpfull on that class either :/

[desert musk]

is there anything wrong with this yet?

from the looks of it?

[noble lantern]

I found this from a little goolge searching: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/controlable-fallingsand-entity.123114/

This is only for falling sand

but

might be useful

[noble lantern]

that config setting looks a little fishy to me

[west oxide]

hey so am getting this issue

[noble lantern]

IMO you should be creating a new yml file for each player

[desert musk]

🐟

[noble lantern]

instead of one large data file for all players

make the name of the file the players UUID

[desert musk]

thought about that, but ultimately decided against it for specific reasons

[noble lantern]

and store data accordingly

[desert musk]

lemme see if i can find my thought process

[west oxide]

and this is my code where the line of code with error is

        Inventory inventory = Bukkit.createInventory(
                null,
                45,
                "Server Selector:"
        );

        for (String server : servers.getKeys(true) ){

            ConfigurationSection serverSection = servers.getConfigurationSection(server);
            Bukkit.getLogger().info("start of section");
            Bukkit.getLogger().info(serverSection.toString());
            Bukkit.getLogger().info("end of section");

            inventory.setItem(serverSection.getInt("position"), getServerItem(server) );

        }

        return inventory;
    }```

[hexed hatch]

@echo basalt doubt this is what's causing your issue, but I do know falling blocks have weird properties with proximity to other blocks that can be fixed by changing a certain field on the falling block entity

[echo basalt]

probably the cause

I'm considering just making it client-side

[hexed hatch]

let me check real quick

[echo basalt]

but that's a whole other pain in the ass

[west oxide]

idk am confused cuz the serverSection isnt returning null when i log it

[noble lantern]

sec reading

[desert musk]

Ok yeah so each nest is supposed to have a finite amount of members, including a leader.

[hexed hatch]

Time
The number of ticks the entity has existed. If set to 0, the moment it ticks to 1, it will vanish if the block at its location has a different ID than the entity's TileID. If the block at its location has the same ID as its TileID when Time ticks from 0 to 1, the block will instead be deleted, and the entity will continue to fall, having overwritten it. When Time goes above 600, or above 100 while the block is below Y=0, the entity is deleted.
Try modifying the time field, make it a high negative value perhaps

[desert musk]

i suppose that's why i'm doing it this way?

imma find my actual notebook

brb

[west oxide]

okay thank you

[noble lantern]

For one your shouldnt be calling ConfigurationSection#toString(), thats kind of pointless

Whats the yaml file look like?

[hexed hatch]

It's resting time value may be 0 which is why it might be fizzling out of existence

I'd try setting it to -32768

[echo basalt]

Integer.MIN_VALUE it is

well shi

[noble lantern]

i really reccomend seperate files for each player either way

And just like each data file with a next ID

[west oxide]

i called that just for log

YAML file:

Servers:
    bedwars:
        material: 'BED'
        position: 234
        lore:
            - '&cITEM LORE YES'

[echo basalt]

ehh

structure is not that good

[west oxide]

what about it

[desert musk]

ok yeah but if i have a new player trying to join a maxed out Nest then it'll be hella difficult to figure out if it's actually maxed out

[noble lantern]

How are you getting servers

And yes you should store those in likely seperate files in a servers directory

[echo basalt]

sand seems to actually float now

[west oxide]

servers = plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Servers");```

[echo basalt]

still has the wrong uuid

[noble lantern]

not at all, you should have a Nest manager, with a HashMap/Map/Whatever of <UUID, NestDataClass> where UUID is the UUID of the Nest, and NestDataClass actually holding that cached data of said Nest

From there NestDataClass will hold a list of UUID's of players as well as variables for max members and any other settings you want

[west oxide]

oh

i fixed it

[desert musk]

never worked wish hashmaps before but sounds promising

[west oxide]

it was just the true thing

[echo basalt]

Welp

I think I found a horrible solution

spawn the falling block on the player's eye view

then re-assign its uuid whenever it's not matching

[noble lantern]

just make sure you are calling putIfAbsent when adding to a HashMap, to prevent duplicate entries

[desert musk]

feel like it is just simpler to have 1 class for an entire nest though

explain the benefits of doing it this way

[noble lantern]

Its simpler, but not how you should do data storage

Having alllll your data in one file is just generally bad practice

Imagine a bank, storing every single users data in one file

Im sure you can see the issues that arrise

[desert musk]

right

[noble lantern]

Look at how Essentials stores its users data

and from there, it then stores any information it needs about the user

ohh nooooo my ip address uwu

[desert musk]

lol

i mean this makes this certainly more daunting

[echo basalt]

snappy

[desert musk]

because a Nest is a whole structure on its own

[west oxide]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-zac-efron-im-not-mad-upset-hurt-gif-14717203

[desert musk]

has its own properties

[noble lantern]

Looks ready to release on spigot! 20$

[echo basalt]

idk why

only fallingblocks suffer

[noble lantern]

?

[desert musk]

maybe I can let you scrutinize over my semi-updated notion page for this specific project

but maybe that's too much

[desert musk]

lol

omw to ddos 127.0.0.1

[hexed hatch]

You know

It might be easier to throw that sucker on top of an invisible armor stand

and just move the armor stand around

[echo basalt]

the armorstand's hitbox doesn't really match

[hexed hatch]

and when you "throw" it, just unalive the armor stand and apply velocity to it

I'm just saying use the armor stand for when it's in gravity gun mode, not in motion

[echo basalt]

but I see how that can work

how would I make a full block on an armorstand tho

[hexed hatch]

No no

Like

Put the falling block entity on the armor stand

as a passenger

[echo basalt]

hm okay

baby armorstand I see

[hexed hatch]

invisible and marker

well, marker is actually all you need

it removes it's hitbox and rendering entirely

I can't say I'm sure how well falling block entities play as passengers though

[noble lantern]

Thats what the article i linked said :((

[noble lantern]

:((((((

time to go cry

[hexed hatch]

seems promising

[echo basalt]

the fallingblock is detatching

[river oracle]

just gonna ignore those buildings are better than anything I could ever even think of building

[echo basalt]

the marker tracks my cursor perfectly

the fallingsand does not

[noble lantern]

Ive yet to see one developer who can build a good house besides giz now

[echo basalt]

I think I just wasted hours on something extremely stupid

It might be that I'm running 2 clicks (1 for each hand) and it breaks stuff

lmao time to ctrl + Z for an hour

[noble lantern]

imagine it didnt store your undo history far enough

[echo basalt]

there's a limit

[noble lantern]

are you saying that as a statement or question

[echo basalt]

statement

[noble lantern]

ah xD

[desert musk]

oop

[echo basalt]

it's 2am and I wasted like 2 hours of my life trying to make throwable blocks

[noble lantern]

any programming after 12am typically doesnt go very well

unless your used to staying up till 5am xD

[echo basalt]

it got to the point where I'd wake up at 10pm, so I'd be in the depressing late-night coding environment 24/7

[desert musk]

jesus

programmers are animals

lol

[echo basalt]

huh what the fuck

[noble lantern]

latest ive woken up is 2pm thankfully

[echo basalt]

if I don't set a passenger

it works

if I set

it doesn't

well I'm an idiot

trying to teleport entities with passengers

as good as it gets

[hexed hatch]

Just a private smp which I lazily use as a testbed for plugins sometimes

Over 75% of the island is artificial and the basement system spreads like tumors

[hexed hatch]

That looks awesome. There is a newer entity called a Marker, I'm not sure if mounting entities as passengers plays nice with it

[echo basalt]

I'm using a marker ye

[hexed hatch]

but it uses even less server resources and has no appearance whatsoever

Not a marker armor stand

[echo basalt]

hm

[hexed hatch]

a completely separate entity called a marker

[hexed hatch]

oh

so you are

weird that the armor stand is showing up for a split second

Wait, is the marker just a variant of an armor stand?

Have I been lied to?

[echo basalt]

not really

it's kinda a separate entity

but also a metadata of the armorstand

kinda weird

anyways it's like 3am

[hexed hatch]

in that video you posted, were you using an armor stand or a marker at the time?

I'm just trying to wrap my head around why one is visible for a split second

[low temple]

Is there an event for entity generation? Like item frames in the end naturally generating?

[noble lantern]

damn that sick

[noble lantern]

You can listen for the ChunkGenerationEvent (Whatever its called) and find the ITEM_FRAME block

if block == that block

[low temple]

Ok cool I’ll check it out

[noble lantern]

ChunkLoadEvent

check if chunk is new

And then check blocks in ChunkSnapshot (Saves resources) going from highest Y value down (Since end cities always generate in higher elevation rather than lower ones)

@low temple

if the block you run into is endstone, dont keep checking lower y values (save more resources of looping)

be careful with this event

[echo basalt]

Chunksnapshots are nice because you can check them async

[noble lantern]

^^^^^

almost forgot about that ty for reminding

[low temple]

Hmm okay, I’ll do some testing with it

Thank you for the help!

[hexed hatch]

chunk snapshot won't do you too much good I don't think

You're going to want to look for the item frame entity to identify it instead of looking for a specific block arrangement

that's the most performant solution I'd say

Chunk#getEntities perhaps?

Maybe look in to ChunkPopulateEvent and see if item frames on end ships are present on that event

[noble lantern]

Well iirc it would still trigger some type of block to match a material of ITEM_FRAME from there he can just get the Item Frame meta via getLocationOfBlock or grtLocationOfEntity

[hexed hatch]

Item frame isn't a block

it's an entity

therefore iterating through blocks looking item frame will return nothing

[noble lantern]

Fair enough, kind of just assumed it would trigger some type of material match in there

It could trigger EntitySpawnEvent but not sure

And check if the spawn reason was of a natural cause

[hexed hatch]

it's worth a try, but with entities that are already present in the world, it tends to be a little weird

I don't think I had much luck with that last time I attempted but I may very well be wrong

[noble lantern]

If a entity is already present in the world, i would hope it wouldn't call EntitySpawnEvent again 😅

If so thats definatly a bug

[hexed hatch]

well he's looking for entity generation, an event to get entities that spawn alongside chunks

but idk how spigot works with that lol

I imagine chunkpopulateevent will do but who knows

spigot is spigot

[noble lantern]

Yep EntitySpawnEvent/CreatureSpawnEvent won't work

Chunk_gen deprecated big sad

ChunkPopulateEvent it is

@low temple ^

Read up a lil bit

[low temple]

Will do thanks

[glass mauve]

how can I check if two players are the same?
With .equals or ==?

[glass mauve]

ok thanks, I think == is enough bc Player has no own implementation of .equals I think

[grizzled pollen]

well... I usually used getUniqueId for this

I don't think that == will work here

[glass mauve]

yea thats much safer

[grizzled pollen]

just check uuids

[glass mauve]

yea ty

[low temple]

Tried both this and ChunkLoadEvent and event.getChunk().getEntities() is always empty

event.getChunk().getEntities().length always returns 0

[chrome beacon]

Entities are loaded after the chunks

They have their own load event

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

[low temple]

Ah okay

[maiden thicket]

how would i check if an offline player has a permission

[tardy delta]

Vault has an API for that

[maiden thicket]

the method that asks for an offlineplayer also asks for a world

can i put * for the world?

[tardy delta]

A world or a world name?

[maiden thicket]

oh nvm it supports a null value

world name

https://media.taah.dev/☀️🙂📒⚙️🚅😧.png

haha

[tardy delta]

You need to provide a valid one i guess

Oh

Idk

[summer scroll]

How can I prevent player in spectator gamemode entering mob view?

[glass mauve]

maybe PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent

[maiden thicket]

is it possible to add libraries to the library loader on runtime

[rotund pond]

I think it would work.
If your store a player in cache, you can use ==:

• If you check the player 1 and the player 2, both players have a different instance and so a different location in memory
• if you check player 1 and player 1, that's the same instance and so the same location in memory.

I think you should use == btw, because you don't have to get the player UUID and your code will be faster. (Mainly if it's often called)

[tardy delta]

It has

It checks for the unique id and the entity id

[rotund pond]

Ah, so it's just safer

[glass mauve]

really didnt saw it and already did it with UniqueID

[tardy delta]

Doesnt matter

[glossy venture]

can you apply a @SuppressWarnings to your whole project?

oh wait can i add a compiler flag for that

[quiet ice]

You can do it yourself with a custom classloader

[maiden thicket]

i lowkey just yoinked the libraryloader class and changed it up

xd

[quiet ice]

Beware of player relogs

[maiden thicket]

i was told library loader violates maven central tos or smthn

?

[quiet ice]

I have heard it too

Whether that is really true I cannot verify

[glass mauve]

How can I set the bottom right item in an player inventory?

[summer scroll]

I found out that PlayerInteractEvent and PlayerTeleportEvent being called, but I've tried to cancelling it and the entering mob view still happen.

[glass mauve]

hm let me check

[glossy venture]

if you mean the last hotbar slot, use slot index 8

and use that with ```java
player.getInventory().setItem(index /* 8 in this case */, item)

[glass mauve]

thanks

[glass mauve]

did you try cancelling PlayerInteractAtEntityEvent or only PlayerInteractEntityEvent?

[glass mauve]

is setItem() only for hotbar?

[earnest forum]

no

whole inventory

[summer scroll]

Yes, even tho those event are not being called at all.

[glass mauve]

but then index 8 should be wrong

[earnest forum]

is it 8?

yeah that's what I'm saying

it starts from the top

[glossy venture]

oh

[earnest forum]

so it would be 35

[glossy venture]

well then 35

[glass mauve]

yea thats what I thought

[glass mauve]

bruh then idk how to cancel that

Ok and how can I check at an event that it is this particular item and not the vanilla version. For example, I give the player a stick while joining, how can I check that it is also this stick and not a vanilla. With ItemMeta?

[summer scroll]

There are different ways, either checking the ItemStack similiarity or by storing PDC inside the item, but yes mostly by ItemMeta.

[glass mauve]

ok thanks, how can I use pdc?

[summer scroll]

?pdc

ty

[buoyant viper]

@maiden thicket @quiet ice i have 80% certainty the library loader doesnt not violate mvn central ToS

[noble lantern]

Wdym by library loader?

[buoyant viper]

the one in spigot for plugins

[noble lantern]

Best api implemented in spigot ever right here^

[buoyant viper]

the libraries: [] u specify in plugin.yml

it uses eclipse aether to traverse repos and resolve deps which if maven didnt like, im sure they wouldve contact eclipse over

[noble lantern]

No that shouldnt violate anything on maven as long as you arent shipping any additional jars in it that shouldnt be allow (IE, premium resources, things like the MC server jar)

If that wasnt allowed, you basically wouldnt be allowed to have an ClassLoader classes in your project

[buoyant viper]

and the actual terms for maven central (https://repo1.maven.org/terms.html) just kinda say "dont mass-download"

[noble lantern]

i wonder what they consider mass downloading

[buoyant viper]

Attempting to download all or large portions of Central (a.k.a., scraping or mirroring any content) Excessive consumption of artifacts or metadata Excessive requests or bandwidth

[noble lantern]

And you dont do any of that?

[buoyant viper]

not personally, no

[noble lantern]

So then you should be fine

[modern valley]

I want to have a custom texture on my custom item, how can I do this?

[noble lantern]

CustomModelData

[quasi flint]

resourcepack

[modern valley]

what arguments to pass in custommodeldata?

[glass mauve]

which is the correct event for player right click?

[noble lantern]

A integer

one sec

[modern valley]

can you give me a example?

[noble lantern]

there is a guide for this on spigot

[noble lantern]

PlayerInteractEvent, make sure on 1.9+ your listening for the correct hand

and check if ClickAction is RIGHT_CLICK

[glass mauve]

ok ty

[quasi flint]

google.com

[modern valley]

ok

[quasi flint]

but here

https://www.planetminecraft.com/forums/communities/texturing/new-1-14-custom-item-models-tuto-578834/

because i have fun for it

[noble lantern]

^

theres a video tutorial somewhere i used a few years back but dont remembe the exact video

[quasi flint]

resourcepack still needed tho

[noble lantern]

yep

[quasi flint]

no serverside only way here

[noble lantern]

well, it technically could be server sided if you set the resource pack in server.properties

Or send the resource pack to the client via code

[modern valley]

ok tysm

[quasi flint]

yea but thr client still has to do smth

[noble lantern]

all the client would have to do is click a button

"Yes accept this pack"

[quasi flint]

which is not 100% serverside

but ig it works

[noble lantern]

server sided in the sense that the player doesnt need to manually download anything

now for armor models though

that needs to be done on the client side, as you need optifine to render those in

[quasi flint]

most servers just go with normal armor

hypogxel etc

[modern valley]

but if i give my custom item model data 12345, then how do I define this in the resource pack?

[chrome beacon]

^

[glass mauve]

what is the best way to store information for each player, that will not reset

[crimson terrace]

making a .txt or yml file for each player imo

depends on what information and how much information it is

if its for a very small server storing it in the config file is viable too

[rough drift]

no

don't store in the config

comments will get reset

and options as well

[marble granite]

Hey so, if i make a custom entity by extending lets say the zombie class, i assume it wont be custom upon restart, how would i handle restarts with custom entities?

[chrome beacon]

On chunk unload remove and save your entities somewhere. On chunk load spawn them again

That's the easiest way

[marble granite]

ahh

alright thanks, thats what came to my mind aswell, but maybe there was another way. guess not

thanks!

[chrome beacon]

There are other ways it's just that they are harder to implement

Anyways you can use pdc to store your entities

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[grim ice]

pdc

if its too big

a yml file for each player

[grim ice]

bad suggestion

you would need to parse the text file yourself

[crimson terrace]

its easy if you know what youre doing

and as I said, depends on what data you want to store

if you wanna store something like a set of strings or ints you could just write them all with a / in between and then get the string and split it up at the /

[modern valley]

how do I use apply custom texture to my custom item using customDataModel?

[craggy cosmos]

:dynoError: The Fun module is disabled in this server.

[west oxide]

hey

[grim ice]

no

dont

thats the worst advice

youre reinventing the wheel

• its not gonna be as good as whats included with spigot

txt for key value data storing is shit

dont follow that advice

[modern valley]

anyone?

[eternal night]

Well you need a resource pack that matches the material and custom data model

And then you can just just that number on an items item meta

[noble lantern]

@modern valley did you not see this msg?

[modern valley]

I saw this message but this article uses a vanilla item, I am talking about custom items

[noble lantern]

As in

CustomItems the plugin??

[modern valley]

yes

[noble lantern]

ohh

This is help for Java related questions

https://customitems.page.link/discord

Ask about textures in theyre discord

[modern valley]

why? I am making the plugin for myself. Is there a plugin customItems?

[sharp flare]

can setLore and getLore be done async or its just not thread safe

[noble lantern]

You said Yes here...

[modern valley]

oh, I didn't knew that there is a plugin like this.

[noble lantern]

So what do you mean by CustomItem, do you have a class named this that builds it to a ItemStack?

[modern valley]

yes

[noble lantern]

So that article will work fine

[modern valley]

I did everything but it didn't work

[noble lantern]

CustomItems are vanilla items just with spedical PDT/NBT tags that make them function as other things, and have theyre MetaData changed to have a different CustomModelData

So that article should work just fine and just use getMetaData().setCustomModelData(int)

[modern valley]

ohk tysm 😄

In the json file of resource pack, do I have to use the ItemStack name or the set display name of the item?

[halcyon mica]

So here's a puzzle

I have several marker armorstands

Which use nametags to form a image

How would I verify and do something if the player is looking at those nametags

My first though was a custom AABB, but how would one consistently raycast for a hit to those without murdering the tickrate

[hybrid spoke]

can you even hit them when they are marker?

[halcyon mica]

No, hence why I'd need some sort of custom collision

The idea is to raycast to the custom colission on left/right click and process from there

[eternal night]

Ray hitbox intersection is relatively cheap iirc

You can also do some very basic range check using distanceSquared

Iirc the spigot BB has a raytrace method already

Like, your raytrace becomes cheap because you don't actually have to run an in world raytrace that includes blocks and entities etc until your initial plain ray from player head only against your inflated BB of the armourstand group lands

(if you even need an in world ray)

[noble lantern]

Hey, what version was this method deprecated in would anyone know by chance?

ah in 1.13, nvm

[onyx wasp]

What software do you think I should use on a 1.16.5 server?

[tender shard]

why are you still on 1.16.5?

that version is over a year old

[onyx wasp]

inside a hub server

[tender shard]

just use paper

[halcyon mica]

Is there a way to get the width of a nametag in world coordinates?

[tender shard]

wdym? the width of the item itsef? or the width of the hologram?

[onyx wasp]

but I can't find 1.16.5 papaer software

[tender shard]

of course not, that version is outdated and unsupported

[halcyon mica]

The width of the hologram

[tender shard]

https://papermc.io/legacy

[tender shard]

you can't, it's client sided. depending on the client's font, the hologram could be tiny, or very large

[halcyon mica]

We're assuming default resourcepack here

[onyx wasp]

burda ne yapmam gerekiyor? buldumda?

[tender shard]

no hablo turkish

[onyx wasp]

what should i do here? when i found it?

[tender shard]

download the version you've been looking for

does someone know why the full error message isn't shown?

they use pufferfish as server software

does anyone know if there's some setting that suppresses the full stacktrace?

[tall dragon]

hmm

you might wanna ask them

they have a discord.

on their github

they do also have this on their github Sentry Integration Easily track all errors coming from your server in excruciating detail

tho idk what that means.

[tender shard]

hmmm

[young shell]

Is Location#equals() the recommended way to compare Locations?

[tall dragon]

yea. that should be fine

but depending on your needs it might be different what u want.

because that will test an exact match. while you might want to test wether or not its the same block location.

[sonic cosmos]

hi, i have problem with Tntprimed because it doesnt destroy obsidian

code;

TNTPrimed tntPrimed = player.getWorld().spawn(
                    new Location(player.getWorld(), location.getX(), location.getY() + 1, location.getZ()), TNTPrimed.class);

            tntPrimed.setVelocity(location.getDirection().multiply(ConfigLoader.velocity));
            tntPrimed.setFuseTicks(ConfigLoader.fuseTick);

[eternal night]

Tnt doesn't break obsidian?

[sonic cosmos]

yes

[eternal night]

What's your issue

That is plain vanilla behaviour

[sonic cosmos]

no

[eternal night]

Yes

[sonic cosmos]

tnt destroys obsidian

[eternal night]

Wait is it first of April

Hmmm

No not yet for me at least

Smh bad joke XD

[sonic cosmos]

wait, i must check it XD

[tall dragon]

u cant blow obsidian with tnt

by default at least

[sonic cosmos]

a

so how i can break obsidian with tnt?

[eternal night]

Ya can't

You'd have to manually try to find obsidian blocks when the entity explode event triggers

[sonic cosmos]

a to chuj za duzo pierdolenia sie

translate

[eternal night]

Nah, this isn't worth it

[tall dragon]

so its pretty weird on the wiki obsidian's blast resistance is set to 1200

as opposed to the 3.6 million from something like barrier.

[tender shard]

no it doesn't lol

[sonic cosmos]

I'm an idiot and I thought it destroys

[quaint mantle]

yea thing is my shitty school only has delphi courses and i had to learn java from w3schools and google

[tender shard]

wtf

they still teach delphi? 😄

[quaint mantle]

yea

[tender shard]

RIP

[quaint mantle]

shit school in a shit country

[tender shard]

delphi was already dead when I started coding like 20 years ago lol

[quaint mantle]

yep

[tall dragon]

if u want it to. ur going to need to manually find the blocks and destroy them if they are in the blast radius.

[quaint mantle]

welp its the 92% of south africans that were retarted enough to switch from java to delphi

[grim ice]

"and that's a dick too much fucking"

Cool

@quaint mantle where do u live btw

[halcyon mica]

Is there a non-axis aligned bounding box in bukkit?

[eternal oxide]

no

hit boxes only, but not in bukkit

Guess I'll have to make my own then

hello, im currently looking for a way to set my players in spectator for a specific amount of time and then back to survival when the times up after death, ideally only for one of the worlds tho, i couldn't find any plugin that would fit my need? do you guys know a plugin that can help me with that?

[elfin atlas]

Is there a way to check if a player is holding a item with a specific custom name?

[hybrid spoke]

#help-server

[hybrid spoke]

you can always get the item the player holds in his hand/s

[elfin atlas]

And detect if he is not holding anymore?

[quaint mantle]

🇿🇦

[solemn crown]

i was also thinking someone would like to code that?

[elfin atlas]

Via inventory I guess?

[hybrid spoke]

vice versa

[elfin atlas]

vice versa?

            switch (e.getCurrentItem().getType()){
                case GRASS_BLOCK:
                    plugin.getConfig().set(name+".spawn", p.getLocation());
                    p.sendMessage("Ai setat spawn");
                    plugin.saveConfig();

and I get an error: ``Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack.getType()" because the return value of "org.bukkit.event.inventory.InventoryClickEvent.getCurrentItem()" is null``. Why?

[hybrid spoke]

probably clicked an empty slot

[desert tinsel]

not

[tender shard]

because e.getCurrentItem() is null

[desert tinsel]

why

[granite owl]

how can i get a player whos offline in a non deprecated way

by name*

[tender shard]

use the deprecated way

[granite owl]

xD

frl?

[tender shard]

yes

it's only deprecated because players can change their name

[granite owl]

iknow

[tender shard]

you can also loop over Bukkit.getOfflinePlayers

but it's not better in any way

[hybrid spoke]

doesn't Bukkit#getOfflinePlayer already does that?

[tender shard]

but that's deprecated

[granite owl]

so just getofflineplayer

[tender shard]

yes

[hybrid spoke]

i mean

[granite owl]

condition check it vs null

[hybrid spoke]

well

[granite owl]

and then process

xD

i mean

[hybrid spoke]

it wont be null iirc

[granite owl]

hasplayedbefore

is a member of offlineplayer tho

then ill use that

i mean who targets players by their uuid?

makes sense server internally, but not for a user

[clear raptor]

Hi! Am I able to persist NBT data for item placed into armorstand? (head)

I have custom PLAYER_HEAD with custom NBT data, but they get lost when I put head into armorstand

[grim ice]

but

if the player hasnt logged in before

it will send a request to mojang servers

wont it

[visual tide]

yes

on the main thread :cringe:

[tender shard]

well

only getOfflinePlayer(name) does a web request

and also only if the player never joined before

so yeah better loop over Bukkit.getOfflinePlayers

getOfflinePlayer(String) should ONLY be used if you are sure the player joined before

[eternal oxide]

unless you have a user which has 20k accounts, which is a pain.

[granite owl]

tried to reverse the code ive been given before

this loops the array and returns the first result if there is one?

Arrays.stream(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayers()).map(OfflinePlayer::getUniqueId).findFirst();

returning the first uuid instance?

[hardy swan]

yea

[granite owl]

how do i safely check this for being null

Optional<Player> pTemp = Arrays.stream(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayers()).map(OfflinePlayer::getPlayer).findFirst();

[hardy swan]

wdym safely check

[granite owl]

only found get() as member

if i want the Player p = pTemp.get();

[hardy swan]

Optional is supposed to be safe

[granite owl]

and pTemp is null

it throws an exception

[hardy swan]

whatchu wanna do

[granite owl]

i wanna get a player like this

public static Player getPlayer(String player)
        {
            Player p = Bukkit.getPlayer(player);
            
            if (p == null)
            {
                Optional<Player> pTemp = Arrays.stream(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayers()).map(OfflinePlayer::getPlayer).findFirst();
                
                if (pTemp.get != null)
                {
                    
                }
            }
        }

[hardy swan]

if you intend to do sth directly after, you can do ifPresent(Consumer<OfflinePlayer>)

If you intend to pass on a nullable

[desert musk]

?pastebin

[hardy swan]

you can do orElse(null)

[granite owl]

i wanna get a player regardless of if hes online or not, as long as he has been playing before

and write myself a standardtized method for it

which is not deprecated

[hardy swan]

like I said, Optional is meant for null safety

[desert musk]

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

doing yaml shit for the first time, is there something i'm doing horribly wrong yet?

[granite owl]

it still threw a nullptr expection

[hardy swan]

read what I wrote

[tender shard]

many things

[tall dragon]

if i were you i would just use a normal for loop. as that would be more performant in this case.

[tender shard]

1. fields should have lowerCaseNames
2. methods should also have lowerCaseNames

[desert musk]

do tell 🙌

didn't mean to use that emoji but here we are

[tender shard]

also why are you setting only default values in a method that clearly is not supposed to only set default values? what is that code supposed to do at all?

[tender shard]

I love that emoji lol

[desert musk]

🤷‍♂️ how do i not set default values

lmao

[tender shard]

by stop calling addDefault(...)

[desert musk]

i don't see any addValues() method tho

how do i do that without setting defaults

[granite owl]

hm

[desert musk]

also i see some logical errors in my code

some stupid things

[tender shard]

I don't understand the purpose of that whole class in the first place tbh

[granite owl]

isnt there an indexed way to do it?

like if i iterate too many players it can get laggy doesnt it?

[night copper]

How can I make an NPC spawn naturally and rarely in the world, like zombies but only once (they can't respawn in the biome, or 100 block radius) and I want them to spawn in a group of 4-5

[desert musk]

tryna store a "nest" which has certain properties in a yaml file

[tall dragon]

your current way it always loops all entries then picks the first one it finds. while with a normal loop you can break the loop as soon as you find one.

[hardy swan]

No

[hardy swan]

No

[granite owl]

hm

so just

[tender shard]

if you want to store something, why do you only add default values and not the actual values?

[desert musk]

.

[granite owl]

for (OfflinePlayer p : Bukkit.getOfflinePlayers()) i guess

[desert musk]

how do i do that 😭

[tender shard]

set(name,value)

[desert musk]

👌

[tender shard]

instead of addDefault(name, value)
