[red sedge]

or do i need to keep track of that myself

[upper crater]

how can i access i in the scope i need it in (underlined by orange)

[red sedge]

persistentancy?

[undone axle]

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

[red sedge]

Oh

right... so like

ill give a data to a block right?

blocks chunk?

not the block?

Can I ask why?

I see

would it be efficient tho? to like have a pdc for every block in a chunk

i mean

i can probably just store the true values

and delete them if they are false

that would be more efficient

okay! thanks!

[upper crater]

bump

[earnest forum]

yes they do

I don't know if regular blocks have them but blocks that have entities do

it does

I guess not for the block then

[sand vector]

[vocal tundra]

final int x = i;
new BukkitRunnable()...

true runnable only needed if you want to be able to cancel and keep track of the task

[upper crater]

i trie dthat, didn't work

[vocal tundra]

that will compile, maybe not the result you wanted but it'll compile

[upper crater]

i need to run later

[lavish robin]

is their anything wrong with this syntax. the second command won't load ```
commands:
test:
description: TestCommand
usage: /test
permission: 2
mark:
description: Marks Loot
usage: /mark <x> <y> <z>
permission: 2

this.getCommand("mark").setExecutor(new MarkLoot());```

[dusk flicker]

look at the differences

the mark one has usage and permission on an extra tab, while the first one are all inline. Remove the extra tab on the usage and permission of mark and give it a shot

[lavish robin]

oh thanks

[sand vector]

what is the best way to check how long it has been since a player left?

[vocal tundra]

config file or database I'd say

[sand vector]

thats the thing. Basically I have a cache and after like 5 minutes after the player leaves I want to save their data from the cache to the database. So do I use a hashmap and store the uuid and the time left and create a timer that checks to see if the player is online?

[upper crater]

nvm it had worked...
I just had interfering var names

thanks

[vocal tundra]

Why wait 5 minutes?

[sand vector]

So that if the player rejoins within 5 minutes it means that it can just get the concurrent data from cache rather than from the database.

trying to relief stress off the database and keep it on the cache

[vocal tundra]

Fair, your hashmap idea would work well, but instead of 5 minutes for each player, I'd say just flush the entire offline cache every 5 minutes instead of keeping track of that for each player

[sand vector]

so have two caches one for online and one offline and every 5 minutes flush the offline?

[quaint mantle]

I've never coded a spigot plugin before, is there any where I can be directed to start?

[vocal tundra]

You shouldn't need to store anything for the online players, if they're on the server you just assume they've been offline for 0

[sand vector]

Ok cheers for the help

[sand vector]

either from the spigot website or youtubers. i'd suggest Kody Simpson

[proud basin]

Anyone know if XSeries is worth going into?

[summer scroll]

definitely, used that for a year and doesn't have any issue

[proud basin]

Does it just help with version compatibility?

[summer scroll]

yeah, it's mainly for cross version compability

What's the best way to create a leaderboard system with mysql database? I want it to be updated and sync across multiple servers, basically I want to have a highest killstreak leaderboard.

[vast plinth]

is there a way to make custom items

with custom icons

[vocal tundra]

resource pack

or player heads

[vast plinth]

um no through java

its possiable

[vocal tundra]

Give an example

[worldly ingot]

You can't add custom textures without a resource pack

[muted sand]

transfer packets in bedrock transfer clients between ips. how does this help cross regional players?
uk players would get bad ping with a typical proxy
but if there was a server in the uk region, and someone from us wanted to play on it, wouldnt that get higher ping aswell?

okay nevermindi understand it more after using the discord search function ✨

[nova grove]

How can I check for if a player has killed an entity such as a pig or cow. When looking online I can only see other players.

[quaint mantle]

EntityDeathEvent

i think

[quaint mantle]

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

Player player = event.getEntity().getKiller();

if (player == null) // no killer

[wide pagoda]

Does Location.getBlock() return an air when there is no block at the location?

[quaint mantle]

yup

[nova grove]

ty

[wide pagoda]

and there would be no reason that Location.getBlock().setType(...) would error in that case I assume

[quaint mantle]

right

[wide pagoda]

alr thanks

[sharp bough]

 int freeSlotsOnPlayerInv = 0;

        for (ItemStack itemStack : p.getInventory().getContents()){
            if (itemStack == null || itemStack.getType().isAir()) continue;
            freeSlotsOnPlayerInv++;
        }

how is that returning the amount of slots used instead of the empty slots?

27 in this case

wait no

tf

wait no ignore that

[nova grove]

Anyone know if there is a reliable way for me to switch between Java 8 and Java 16?

[vocal tundra]

I'd recommend not using continue like that in such a small loop

[noble lantern]

are you just trying to see if the player has an empty inventory slot?

theres a WAY simpler way of doing this if you do

[sharp bough]

kinda, i have a list of items i want to check if player has enough space to add them all

[noble lantern]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/Inventory.html#firstEmpty()

Use this method before adding each ItemStack object to the players inventory

[stuck swift]

does anyone know why the 1.18.2 spigot.jar file is not recognizing anything such as when i import something its only org.bukkit.craftbukkit and cant do anything else (its hard to explain)

[noble lantern]

if greater than -1 player has space

[sharp bough]

but i dont need 1 slot

i need X slots

depending on how big the list is

you mean a while

and adding while firstEmpty != -1?

[noble lantern]

Well your just adding a List of ItemStack's correct

and thats it?

[sharp bough]

yea thats it

[noble lantern]

use a for loop

and use that statement at the start of your for loop

if the returned value is -1 return out of the loop

[sharp bough]

yea but i kinda want to add them only of the player has enough space for all of them

[noble lantern]

you can always remove every ItemStack you add to the player's inventory from your list

If the list isnt empty at the end of it, you can drop those items at the players feet

[vocal tundra]

why not just drop them all then? isn't that what /give does anyway

[noble lantern]

/give adds directly to the inventory

and stops if theyres anything left (Ie if you add 50000 of an item, it will only fill the inventory)

[eternal oxide]

addItem returns a HashMap of all items that did not fit

[noble lantern]

ohh forgot that

^ thats a better solution

[vocal tundra]

But under the hood it's basically dropping them on you with 0 pickup time I'm pretty sure, since when you cancel pickup item event /give breaks and gives you 2 items instead of 1

[sharp bough]

that could work

[noble lantern]

interesting i thought they changed the code to that years ago

[vocal tundra]

1.8/1.12 are my main versions so you might be right

[noble lantern]

ahh that might make sense

plus

essentials/cmi overrides that command (should at least)

[vocal tundra]

yeah cuz it breaks easy

[noble lantern]

kind of like this plugin that im writing will when i finally test it

[vocal tundra]

lmao

the struggles

[noble lantern]

i kind of underestimated how much code this would require ngl

[vocal tundra]

are you talking about your custom enchants

[noble lantern]

Nah random item plugin

I wanted a system similar to how EliteMobs items work

[vocal tundra]

oh yeah random enchants and nbt I mean

[noble lantern]

in a sense yes

360 lines and all it does is generate a random name with values from config lmfao

[vocal tundra]

well configs are a pain

[noble lantern]

yeah they are, especially when i make them configurable to any needs

sec

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[noble lantern]

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

enchantments one is gonna be aids

Configs inconsistent since im redoing it from top to bottom

[vocal tundra]

name, material and lore look good though from a user point of view good stuff

[noble lantern]

yeah was trying to make it usable for any 12 year olds who got a hold of the plugin

too lazy to do docs, so the docs will be yaml comments for now lmao

[vocal tundra]

You should add name alias tho like sharpness instead of damage all

[noble lantern]

yeah im gonna redo the entire enchantments

and make an option for all levels to have a chance as well

so eg 50% for sharp 1

which will break one class i use for loading ItemChances, might be able to make a work around though

damnit i just realized something, imm need to make a random based quality

[stuck swift]

why do i not get the option to import the bukkit thing even though i already added spigot 1.18.2 as an external archive

[vocal tundra]

as a library?

[noble lantern]

are you importing spigot as a jar...

[vocal tundra]

sometimes you can do everything right and intelliJ will just do you dirty like that too

[vocal cloud]

That ain't intellij lmfao

[stuck swift]

you mean like this ?

[vocal cloud]

that's eclipse

[vocal tundra]

rip

[noble lantern]

no like are you using a file that maven depends on, or using the maven import for spigot

Or are you trying to use buildtools?

looks like your trying to use buildtools/nms

[stuck swift]

idk what you're talking about lol cause i just started learning

[noble lantern]

[summer scroll]

he's using external jars

[noble lantern]

Yeah i think so as well

wait

yep he is i see the path lmao

[summer scroll]

i've done that too so long ago lmao

[noble lantern]

do you have a pom.xml or build.gradle file

[noble lantern]

i once imported the server jar thinking i could use it for nms 💀

that was when i first started learning

[stuck swift]

i dont think so

[summer scroll]

and i do that because i follow youtube tutorials

[vocal tundra]

can you not?

[noble lantern]

Have you learned basic java yet

[stuck swift]

yes

[noble lantern]

Imma do that right now

[vocal tundra]

server jar has to come with nms

[stuck swift]

i hope

[vocal tundra]

since it's the server itself

[noble lantern]

Here ill just link you with my base pom.xml, you might want to learn how to use maven/gradle as well as it makes doing all this a lot easier

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[stuck swift]

kk

[noble lantern]

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

You'll need to change these fields here, and possibly your java version if it doesnt compile (leave packaging as jar)

Idk how eclipse handling importing pom.xml's

youll have to google that

you can build with mvn clean package or just mvn package

the clean keywords just clears your /target folder when compiling, its not necesarily needed

you may also need to install maven, if eclipse doesnt do that already

[stuck swift]

ok thnx

[noble lantern]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-maven/

This is also worth a read too

[still mantle]

When I do /smp i am not redirected to other sever

[waxen plinth]

Good to know

[quasi patrol]

Is it possible to create custom recipes exclusive to certain players, or can it only be server wide?

[thick estuary]

Does anyone know of a plugin that allows you to split enchantment books that have multiple enchantments on them into multiple separate enchantment books with single enchantments?

[crisp steeple]

you could implement your own recipe system with PrepareCraftEvent

just set the output item to null if they shouldnt be able to craft it

[vocal cloud]

if you think you are funny, you arent so stop trolling 👍

[restive tangle]

Dude, I stopped trolling. You're stretching this out since you're denser than a neutron star.

[summer scroll]

Can someone help me creating cooldown feature? I'm trying to understand the basic concept.

This is my code right now and I don't know if it's correct https://paste.md-5.net/ozuqotaxiz.java

[noble lantern]

so this is just a cooldown for one item accross the whole server?

[summer scroll]

Player can claim multiple rewards

[noble lantern]

ohh i read creating a crafting

mb

okay, in that case you should have each Reward class have a List of UUID's (aka players) that are on cooldown for that specific reward

[summer scroll]

Is that really necessary? I already have that check on User object.

[noble lantern]

actually no HashMap<UUID, Long> in the Reward class

[noble lantern]

If you want you could make Rewards have a UUID

but that way will get rather messy

[summer scroll]

I use rewards name

[quaint mantle]

Ive made a plugin that syncs player economy across servers but im not sure which way to go in to. Currently when player joins a server we add player into database and/or check their old balance to then wipe that balance and query the balance from the database. im not sure if this methode is actually decent to run on a production server.

[summer scroll]

So each player or User object will have a Map<String, Long>

[noble lantern]

if your using that approach then, its find the way you have it

i normally dont like using normal strings as keys/values for something like that though, just a personal preferance

[summer scroll]

Let's talk about how can we measure or decide If player is on cooldown

So everytime player claim a reward, you put the Long with System#currentTimeMillis right?

[noble lantern]

That could hang the main thread if that method isnt async

[noble lantern]

Yes, that would return the Date in UNIX format

then subtract the current time from the cooldown time

if time <= 0 remove from map and return true

[summer scroll]

    public boolean isRewardOnCooldown(Reward reward){
        if (!this.cooldownMap.containsKey(reward.name())) {
            return false;
        }
        long timeLeftInMillis = System.currentTimeMillis() - this.cooldownMap.get(reward.name());
        long timeLeftInSeconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(timeLeftInMillis);

        return timeLeftInSeconds < reward.cooldown();
    }

[quaint mantle]

ah yuck totally forgot about that one thanks for that!

[noble lantern]

If that method is only used on player login though

you could use AsyncPlayerJoinEvent

and thats fine if its blocking on there

It will also block until it completes and not let the player join said server until join

adding/removing balances is a little more complex

[noble lantern]

you can just directly check timeLeftInMillis

[summer scroll]

Okay, I put the cooldown configurable in config and the time is in seconds

[noble lantern]

And the value stored in the map is seconds or millis

[summer scroll]

So If the current time minus the player claim time and the result is below or equals to 0, that means the cooldown is completed?

[summer scroll]

Millis

[noble lantern]

yep, considering the math is correct

[noble lantern]

you should convert both times to seconds, but that wont really matter to much

tbf that toSeconds method isnt really needed either

cause if its 0, its over

more or less just a redundant call

oh wait

i see

reward.cooldown() is in seconds

mb

disreguard my last second

[summer scroll]

yeah it's in seconds

[noble lantern]

also check <= not < or else it will be off by one second

[summer scroll]

So, If timeLeft <= cooldown, that means the cooldown is completed?

[noble lantern]

cooldown is completed when timeLeft is 0

that method you linked would return true to my knowledge

Actually it wouldnt really work well tbh

If the player had 13 seconds left in cooldown, but the cooldown is 15

and your checking 13 <= 15 it would be false, but the player would still have 13 seconds of cooldown

its best to check <= 0

that method would essentially be isCooldownLessThenRewardCooldown rather than isInCooldown

[summer scroll]

How can I decide how long the cooldown is?

[noble lantern]

hold on, need to think about that one

i think it would be best to store a Long:

when player claims reward
finishedTime = current time + cooldowntime
then check later
finishedTime <= newCurrentTimeHere

[summer scroll]

I found this tutorial here https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/feature-command-cooldowns/

[noble lantern]

basically store the time on when the cooldown would be completed

[quaint mantle]

Bukkit only got the AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent (would be more pain to use since i need to change pretty much every methodes ive got :p) ill probs run that code on an async task which should be fine i guess

[noble lantern]

your original mathod basically follows the same method

Im not the best with math, cant test that method either right now but if its a guide i would assume it works

Personally i prefer to save the time on when the player will be out of the cooldown then check against the current time by subtracting them, but essentially they both are the same thing

[summer scroll]

Alright, I'm just gonna test it right now.

Thanks for your help!

[noble lantern]

Just remember, dont directly remove balances from the players balance variable until after your calls done to the database or else you could have some rather undesirable effects

[noble lantern]

sounds good, i know i likely was more confusing than help :p sorry about that

i try to do things using as less math as possible and sometimes it comes out as more confusing

[glossy venture]

you mean like to make minecraft recalculate light forcefully

or set the light on blocks manually

because if 2nd use i think it was LightAPI

[noble lantern]

couldnt you just force a block update without NMS to the client

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#sendBlockChange(org.bukkit.Location,org.bukkit.block.data.BlockData)

not sure if it would work entirely

just use block data from the block your trying to update

[glossy venture]

theres probably a function in like chunk somewhere

[noble lantern]

https://github.com/bergerhealer/Light-Cleaner

Take a look into this projects source code

[glossy venture]

i found something in net.minecraft.world.level.Level

theres a method getLightEngine()

i think you might be able to do something with that

you can get the Level as a ServerLevel from the CraftWorld.world field

(remapped with mojang mappings)

[opal juniper]

does starlight have an api

[glossy venture]

CraftWorld  world = null; // ...
ServerLevel level = world.getHandle();
level.getLightEngine().runUpdates(
        0, /* I (idk what this does) */
        true, /* calculate skylight */
        false /* propagate light or something */
);

[opal juniper]

CraftWorld#getHandle returns a WorldServer for me btw

[glossy venture]

should be the same thing

[opal juniper]

ah ok

just not remapped

[glossy venture]

i think its just mappings

im using mojang mappings with paperweight userdev 1.18.2

[opal juniper]

let me build it with bt

[noble lantern]

returns ServerLevel for me

[opal juniper]

yeah its gonna be the mappings

[opal juniper]

what is that background

[noble lantern]

you havent seen?

[opal juniper]

naw

[noble lantern]

sec i gotta find a file thats not cluttered with code

[opal juniper]

code leak

leak src for all advanced plugins

[noble lantern]

GC would kick my ass

dudes buff asf

[opal juniper]

looks weird lol

[noble lantern]

a lot of people say that, doesnt bother me though probably because im used to it by now

[opal juniper]

how do i get remapped into my m2?

[noble lantern]

Should add it by default when add --remapped into your bt command

Also using the plugin for remapped helps

[opal juniper]

[noble lantern]

i never touched anything with my m2 when setting up remapped

pls dont judge i know its dogshit

but the configs needs to be so customizable

[opal juniper]

i was forced to use lomobk by @hybrid spoke but i was so very tempted to run it through delombok

[noble lantern]

i only use it cause i wanna rush this project

and i dont wanna type 300 lines of getters/setters

[restive tangle]

[noble lantern]

havent even tested any of this either

[noble lantern]

idk if it shades in though without a shade plugin

[flat olive]

thanks

I hope it works

[opal juniper]

actually you need to change the source to 17

in the plugin

[flat olive]

just source?

[opal juniper]

well and target

[flat olive]

didnt work

[opal juniper]

define didnt work

[sacred mountain]

hey im making a minigame, is it possible to completely prevent new water sources forming?

[flat olive]

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

[opal juniper]

can you dm me your plugin jar

[flat olive]

sure

[opal juniper]

...

[chrome beacon]

Oh no

[sacred mountain]

E

[opal juniper]

how are you compiling it

are you using intellij?

there is no META-INF

[eternal night]

nor is the shade plugin configured

[eternal night]

it doesn't

[sacred mountain]

anyone know?

[flat olive]

look in the

I cant send images

[eternal night]

you need the maven shade plugin in order to shade your dependencies

[opal juniper]

@flat olive what happens when you run mvn in the command prompt

[flat olive]

'mvn' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

[opal juniper]

ok so sort out your mvn variables and come back here

[sacred mountain]

hm

[noble lantern]

why not use the maven commandline in intellij

you can runwith or without clean

[noble lantern]

clean just clears the target folder

[faint harbor]

Have a look at BlockFromToEvent

[sacred mountain]

package to compile

[flat olive]

maven has its own terminal?

also]

I have no maven build path

[sacred mountain]

yes.

[noble lantern]

right side of page in intellij

I never installed or setup maven on my pc

[flat olive]

so I cant setup env vaariables

[opal juniper]

wow smh

[noble lantern]

intellij just, worked for me lol

[flat olive]

it worked

[sacred mountain]

yea

[sacred mountain]

well done

[noble lantern]

ofc i cant use gradle/maven outside of intellij

[flat olive]

well

I havent checked on server

[noble lantern]

but ill never rly need to do that

[flat olive]

but the mvn clean worked

[sacred mountain]

clean just

clears your target directly

bro

[opal juniper]

it doesnt do anything

[noble lantern]

mvn package

[sacred mountain]

target directory*

[opal juniper]

it just remove files

lol

[sacred mountain]

package actually compiles to your target

[noble lantern]

yes

which is fine, its normally how most compile

[sacred mountain]

thats what i use

never used anything else lol

[opal juniper]

pro command line gamers be like mvn clean package

[sacred mountain]

fr

[noble lantern]

using it without clean gives me heebejeebies

[opal juniper]

gui chumps be like

mvn clean

mvn package

[noble lantern]

i hope no one does that

[opal juniper]

i mean its not required

[noble lantern]

it feels better on my mind to clean package

than just overwrite the files with package

[flat olive]

I just did

[sacred mountain]

How would that detect if there was a source forming though? it doesnt seem to have that method

[noble lantern]

same with ctrl + s

I cant just do it once, i gotta spam it 20 times

[sacred mountain]

i do it twice

[flat olive]

i gtg to school but im gonna try and fix this when I get home

i still have no idea how

imagine school

[noble lantern]

i just spam it, i lost so many things before im paranoid

i once lost everything i had previousoly done on my server for more than a year by deleting my ssh access key when clearing my disk space

[flat olive]

[sacred mountain]

bruh

[flat olive]

so I can use a change stream

[noble lantern]

no way you spent 7 hours on that

enchant with luck and hide attribute

[noble lantern]

also

[opal juniper]

ever heard of a loop

[sacred mountain]

theyre doing certain slots

[noble lantern]

use ChatColor#translateAlternateColorCodes(char, string)

[sacred mountain]

but i guess an integer list

[noble lantern]

Its better to add all the items you want first

[opal juniper]

List.of(0,1,7....)

[sacred mountain]

yea

[noble lantern]

then iterate over all slots, and only add the item where material == air

[latent jungle]

How please

Can u copy and paste :c ?

[latent jungle]

Yes but can u help me ?

[sacred mountain]

wh

huh

what do you want me to do though

[noble lantern]

not to hard to add a ItemFlag and Enchantment to an ItemMeta

[flat olive]

I hope it worked I’ll check when I get home

[latent jungle]

Make the STAINED_GLASS_PANE enchanted

[flat olive]

it didn’t show the error

So it should be working

[sacred mountain]

well i did just tell you

[sacred mountain]

.

[flat olive]

I just don’t know if my thread started

[latent jungle]

I'm not English I didn't understand anything... CAN YOU change my code and send it back to me?

Please

[noble lantern]

thats called spoon-feeding

If someone wants to they will, but you are better learning this stuff that way you arent asking again at a later date for the same thing

[flat olive]

if you learn a programming language you can code in literally any other language that’s what I figured out like three months ago 🤣

[mighty pier]

how do i modify the server list on 1.8.8?

[flat olive]

so easy I hopped to Java from python and am coding so easily in it like it’s nothing

[latent jungle]

Serverlistmotd

[flat olive]

just different syntax

[latent jungle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/serverlistmotd.57851/

[flat olive]

the only thing I don’t understand is maven

I need to learn more about maven

package manager

[noble lantern]

hopefully you learned oop style code

[flat olive]

yes indeed

I did

[noble lantern]

maintaining thats gonna be a bitch without it

[flat olive]

Lots of object oriented programming

It’s very easy

What’s mainly new to me though is

Casting an object

Player p = (Player) commandsender;

That’s the only new thing to me in oop

[mighty pier]

i want to make it myself

[sacred mountain]

ItemStack glass = new ItemStack(Material.STAINED_GLASS_PANE, 1, (short) 11);
        ItemMeta meta = glass.getItemMeta();
        meta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&e"));

        meta.addEnchant(Enchantment.LUCK, 1, false);
        meta.addItemFlags(ItemFlag.HIDE_ENCHANTS);

        glass.setItemMeta(meta);

        for (int i : List.of(0, 1, 2)) {
            inv.setItem(i, glass);
        }

never used list.of

so idk if thats right

[noble lantern]

it is

[summer scroll]

you can do that i guess

[mighty pier]

why would i come into help-development to just get linked to a plugin

[latent jungle]

@sacred mountainThx !! Why never use lsit.of ?

[flat olive]

But it makes sense, using child and main property to get access to the parent attributes by making a new instance

[sacred mountain]

i just havent used it for what i need thats all

[noble lantern]

you would need to use Packets more than likely im not entirely sure how to do it

you could look into the source code of one of those plugins

[mighty pier]

yes i tried using the OUT_SERVER_INFO packet but it doesnt work on 1.8.8

and i dont really understand other plugins

[flat olive]

is it better to do polling or use a rest api

[noble lantern]

not sure, havent touched 1.8 api in years

[noble lantern]

it depends

[sacred mountain]

i have been thiinking about this, and i don't know how to do it : how do i prevent water sources forming, like AT ALL?

im trying to prevent infinite water sources for a minigame

[flat olive]

Yesterday I made a change stream that grabs updates and loops over constantly with a thread, I believe this is a way to check for constant updates, especially as it worked for me just fine. I just don’t know if it’s a good way of polling or not. When it comes to using memory I try to use the least amount of it and not use multiple threads. But this stops the thread and starts a new one so only the main and other thread are always running https://github.com/AlexPurcell/MongoLiveUpdates

[echo basalt]

commonthreadpool or whatever

[echo basalt]

are you checking the 1.8 protocol

you can always decompile plugins to see what you want

[sacred mountain]

decompile moment

[echo basalt]

or find them on github if you're lucky

[sacred mountain]

ServerListMotd has it's source code on github if that helps you at all @mighty pier

[echo basalt]

I generally find all my information by decompiling spigot

:p

[sacred mountain]

decompiling makes you learn nothing

you gotta do it yourself sometimes

make the mistakes

[echo basalt]

yes

[sacred mountain]

gain experience yk

[echo basalt]

but if you want to learn why a pathfinder no worky

[noble lantern]

its more or les to get a baseline of what you need to do

[echo basalt]

better to just decompile it

[flat olive]

My biggest step into making a HCF core is figuring out how to edit ender pearls the way I want, I don’t quite understand the concept of how allowing others to pearl through fence gets and blocks works

gates*

[sacred mountain]

so does anyone know

[flat olive]

so you’re getting rid of all water in the world

[noble lantern]

hes just trying to prevent infinite water sources, not water itself

[flat olive]

getWorld() and idk if there’s a remove material from world method

oh

[sacred mountain]

yeah

so i just want to

when the water is flowing, i dont want it to create any new sources

not remove sources that were already there

[flat olive]

if Material.WATER.isFlowing or something

no idea

[sacred mountain]

that is an enum

[flat olive]

yeah I have absolutely no idea

[sacred mountain]

well it doesnt have that attribute

[flat olive]

I found it

[sacred mountain]

hmm

[flat olive]

MATERIAL.STATIONARY_WATER

if it’s not that

Remove it from the world

[sacred mountain]

no i wanna remove it if it IS staionary

[flat olive]

oh?

I thought you said if it’s flowing

[sacred mountain]

i dont want new sources to form

[flat olive]

Well remove it if is that then

[sacred mountain]

yeah but what is the event

[noble lantern]

isnt there a Water state

[flat olive]

You just getWorld.getBlock() and grab the material

[noble lantern]

nope

i think theres a method for detecting is a block is a full water block

[flat olive]

STATIONARY_WATER

[sacred mountain]

can you fork spigot easily and just remove that bit of code lol

[sacred mountain]

that just means its not moving right

not that its a full block

[flat olive]

Yes

it’s not moving

[sacred mountain]

well yes but how do i detect the new block forming

is it BlockFromToEvent

[flat olive]

the issue is deleting all the water would literally get rid of non flowing all water in the world

[sacred mountain]

BlockPhysicsEvent?

[noble lantern]

BlockFromToEvent yes

[flat olive]

oh that event

[sacred mountain]

no i only want to remove it if it is new,

[noble lantern]

and check adjacent blocks

[flat olive]

Right

[flat olive]

this

[sacred mountain]

ill give it a go

[noble lantern]

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/detecting-water-source-forming.292697/#post-2812999

he even linked his src code

[sacred mountain]

dayu

@EventHandler
    public void onBlockFromToEvent(BlockFromToEvent event)
    {
        Block block = event.getToBlock();
        int sources = getAdjancentSourceBlocks(block);
        if (sources >= 2) {
            if (block.getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN).getType() == Material.CAULDRON) {
                addSourceBlockToCheck(block);
            }
        }
    }```

ill have a go at some things

[sacred mountain]

Okay no i cant figure it out

@EventHandler
    public void onBlockFromToEvent(BlockFromToEvent event) {
        Block block = event.getBlock();
        if (getAdjancentSourceBlocks(block) >= 2) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }```

so if a place a block and there is more than one source directly around it it will cancel? but infinite water can be created in tons of ways

https://bukkit.org/threads/fix-water.39560/ this thread's last post is exactyl what i want

[atomic zodiac]

But once you remove a source block it will just flow and create a new source block?

https://github.com/okx-code/Rankup3/ can someone help me compile this plugin?

it's open source paid plugins

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/rankup.76964/

pls teach me how to compile source code to a jar file

if you'd like to

[sacred mountain]

yeah thats the problem

i jus want to disable the forming of new sources entirely

thats why im thinking, is it possible to modify the spigot jar to allow this

easily that is

How can i loop through npcs?
I have absolutly no idea how i would do it. i want to be able to get the texture from jeff and then the next item in the for loop it would get steven's texture. can someone please help me?

[sacred mountain]

just loop through the keys in 'npcs' and get the texture from each one

getKeys() and loop through that

[proper pawn]

getkeys!!! thank you! thats what i was looking for

[red sedge]

how can i have an attack speed as vanilla swords and stuff

if i add the attribute it is instant no matter what

[cursive loom]

Hey do you know if the middle click fonction in Inventory has been removed for player in survival ?

[red sedge]

..????

[manic delta]

Database issue

[worldly ingot]

Middle clicking in an inventory in survival mode does nothing last I recall, though you can still middle click a block in the world and it will move the item into your hand, yes

[echo basalt]

it might still send a packet tho

as there's InventoryClickEvent#isMiddleClick

[red sedge]

Is there any way to see if an items name has been changed by an anvil

[worldly ingot]

For Creative mode

[echo basalt]

events on creative mode are hella weird

as creative mode is its own little party

copying items copies the client version instead of the server version

[cursive loom]

Yeah in 1.16.2 thats work but in 1.18.2 that didn't work

Do you have a solution ?

[brave goblet]

I just thought about what if you use a constructer?

 Plugin pl;

    public ListenerClass (Plugin plugin){
        pl = plugin;
    }```

and in start up getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new ListenerClass(this),this);

[eternal night]

Yes constructor DI is preferred

how can i take a multiple word argument

hi can i have a question would be that the KingdomsX plugin will print this when I insert it Could not pass event ChunkLoadEvent to KingdomsX
and therefore i can't use the plugin because if i type it in / k it will throw out the server can anyone help?

pls help

[river oracle]

Ask the plugin developer not us

Also don't ask in every damn channel jesus christ bro learn patience

[quaint mantle]

why

[river oracle]

It's a plugin issue not a spigot issue

[quaint mantle]

ok chill

[river oracle]

Am I supposed to have the source and knowledge of every plugin?

If you can't contact the dev find a replacement or have someone try to Recreate it for money

[quaint mantle]

oh

thanks XD

[midnight shore]

Hi! How can i center a location i got from a block? Because if i use Block.getLocation(); i get a corner location. I actually want the center of the block.

[small current]

Google

[quaint mantle]

I am, trying to decipher this

I’m a webdev, very new to Java documentation

[ivory sleet]

ye just ask away

[quaint mantle]

Looks like Java provides some sort of method documentation out of box for plugins

[ivory sleet]

I mean even tho we dont maintain 3rd party apis many of us are still knowledgeable in them

well u have javadocs

[quaint mantle]

Oooh, that’s very handy

[ivory sleet]

mye

[quaint mantle]

I like it

java is super cool

[ivory sleet]

basically turns comments on methods and fields into a set of html pages

[quaint mantle]

Idk, it’s so much of a refreshing way to code

[ivory sleet]

it is, altho a bit obsolete in comparison to more modern languages

[quaint mantle]

yeah haha, it’s really cool

[ivory sleet]

ye

[quaint mantle]

True

[midnight shore]

Another question, how can i orientate a block?

[ivory sleet]

wym by orientate a block

[midnight shore]

like what you would do with a debug stick

[ivory sleet]

oh

[ivory sleet]

BlockData in principle

[hasty prawn]

Rotatable

oh wait

thats just for signs

[glossy venture]

what repository do i need to include to use paperweight userdev
i currently have this:

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id "com.github.johnrengelman.shadow" version "7.1.2"
    id "io.papermc.paperweight.userdev"  version "1.3.5"
}
``` with no buildscript repositories
this produces

[hasty prawn]

[ivory sleet]

ye probably Directional then

[glossy venture]

oh wait i should probably do this in paper discor

d

[ivory sleet]

orby

[hasty prawn]

Yes Directional is right

[ivory sleet]

did u declare the repos in settings.gradle btw

cuz thats a must

[glossy venture]

oh

[midnight shore]

thank you

[glossy venture]

thanks

got it

[ivory sleet]

basically

//settings.gradle
pluginManagement {
    this.repositories {
        this.mavenCentral()
        this.gradlePluginPortal()
        this.maven("https://papermc.io/repo/repository/maven-public/")
    }
}

[glossy venture]

i think

[bronze notch]

It seems that some sql databases don't recognise the '-' (dash) as a character. In my case when storing an uuid as a varchar/string. What is the best solution to resolve this? Replace the character with something else, store an uuid as bytes or edit database settings (which is not preferred)?

[glossy venture]

how do i load an entity from an nbt tag with nms
i am using

nmsEntity.saveWithoutId(tag);
``` for serialization, but i cant find any methods in the `net.minecraft.world.level.Level, ServerLevel` or `MinecraftServer` classes that allow me to load back that entity from the nbt (without id, so its technically a different entity)

[waxen plinth]

I promise there is not a sql database that can't handle the dash character

It's just that sometimes UUIDs are formatted without the dash

[glossy venture]

i also dont expect the bukkit classes to be of any use, ive checked CraftServer regardless but as i expected still nothing

[quasi patrol]

Are you able to have NBT data for custom recipes input?

[glossy venture]

not through the bukkit api

you have to make your own system or use a third party one

i think

[supple elk]

Anyway I can get function and field names when working with nms?

[glossy venture]

you need to use remapping

with maven use buildtools and specialsource

with gradle i use paperweight userdev

[supple elk]

k ty

[supple elk]

so how do I do this?

that's my current pom

[glossy venture]

i dont know tbh

i dont use maven

[supple elk]

kk

[glossy venture]

mfnalex has a good post on it i think

on his blog

[supple elk]

do you have a link?

How to spawn a trident?

with velocity

[supple elk]

anyone know what's going on here?

My java version in the java control panel is different from what's being displayed on control panel

[waxen plinth]

🤦

You need to wrap it in quotes because it's a string

[supple elk]

I'm guessing I have different JREs which aren't oracle official like openJDK?

[bronze notch]

But I never had issues with the way I used to do it

[supple elk]

how can I select between different versions?

[waxen plinth]

just because it's wrong doesn't mean it won't work sometimes

but it's a string

wrap it in quotes

and please, if you are executing queries in your code, please use prepared statements and not string appending

[desert musk]

Is there a way to make it so you don't lose speed when drawing back a bow?

[bronze notch]

Thank you

I'm pretty sure that's clientside

[supple elk]

Trident trident = world.spawnEntity(location, EntityType.TRIDENT,);
trident.setVelocity(velocity);

[brave goblet]

Ah thanks

[waxen plinth]

You can also do Entity#launchProjectile

[brave goblet]

that is what i used

[supple elk]

anyone?

[brave goblet]

sorry no i am also lost lol

[brave goblet]

Trident
Provided:
Entity```

Lol :/

[waxen plinth]

You have to cast to trident

spawnEntity returns an Entity

Trident trident = (Trident) world.spawnEntity(location, EntityType.TRIDENT);```

[supple elk]

this ^

[waxen plinth]

you really didn't have to ping me for that

[red sedge]

how would i force aplayer to break a block?

[waxen plinth]

what do you mean force a player to break a block

you want plugins to respond to the block breaking as if a player broke it?

[red sedge]

yes

[waxen plinth]

you can fire a BlockBreakEvent yourself

[red sedge]

well also the server itself

[waxen plinth]

what do you mean the server itself

[red sedge]

i need it so like the drops and all that are as if the player broke that block

[waxen plinth]

also

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#breakBlock(org.bukkit.block.Block)

[red sedge]

woith their tool

[red sedge]

like damaging the pplayers tool

[waxen plinth]

ok well read this method's javadocs because it does literally exactly that

[red sedge]

yeee

maybe i was thinking of the wrong thing

i knew that method existed but like i thought it just broke the block

[waxen plinth]

always good to read javadocs

[prisma needle]

Detecting when a player is no longer viewing an inventory?

[fading lake]

not sure if this is solved, but its most likely that your PATH in your env variables is pointing to the wrong jdk/jre

[supple elk]

where do I change this?

[waxen plinth]

https://lmgtfy.app/?q=how+to+change+path+on+windows

[crude estuary]

I love that there is a Page for Everything that a User Does

[fading lake]

use path to create a second variable that points to the other jdk, so for example I have java pointing to java 8 and java16 pointing to java 18, if you open your env variables and copy/paste whats currently in java it should work

hopefully

environment and internal java stuff deserves spoonfeeding, its not the easiest thing to google sometimes

[supple elk]

🤔

[supple elk]

am I in the right place?

I don't see a java

[quasi patrol]

R.I.P.

[brave goblet]

How can i kill / remove entities by name? I look at

entity.setCustomName("name");

and outside my if statement i want to access it

[supple elk]

is there no way you can just keep a reference to the entity instead of searching for it by name?

[brave goblet]

Well the thing is the entity is declared inside an if statement

[supple elk]

so?

[brave goblet]

wait that means i could use a set method ig

[supple elk]

Entity entity;

if () {
    entity = new Entity();
}

[brave goblet]

Or a list?

[supple elk]

or something like that?

[brave goblet]

ye like that but when you try use entity out side the if it says it hasn't been declared and when you try to declare it it makes it null

[supple elk]

Can I see your specific example because there will definitely be a way around it

[granite owl]

[fading lake]

strange, this is what mine looks like, java being there 1 from the bottom https://gyazo.com/67cfcf2fea2d1229938f00d5bb1d89e7

[fading lake]

wdym, can yous how an example of whats in []

[supple elk]

ok I see

slightly trickier example

is there only ever one trident per player?

or can a player have multiple tridents?

cause if it's just one trident per player or something like that then you can use a hashmap

linking a player to a trident

or even a player to a list of tridents

then pass in the player to the hashmap on the other action to get the tridents

[brave goblet]

well no

only player can do it

[granite owl]

@fading lake this is the string thats getting sent to the sender java parser.appendLine("uuid_getUUID", new String[] {ChatColor.GREEN + "[Click here to copy] {uuid}"}); and this is the code used ```java

}
}

    if (args.length == 1)
    {
        UUID uuid = NonReflectables.getPlayerUUID(args[0]);
        
        if (uuid != null)
        {
            String msg = ((Callbacks.defaultMsgs.containsKey("uuid_getUUID")) ? Callbacks.defaultMsgs.get("uuid_getUUID").replace("{uuid}", uuid.toString()) : Utils.getStandardMsgByString("CMD_ERROR"));

                ((Player)sender).spigot().sendMessage(uuidMsg);
            }

[supple elk]

well that's not what I was asking

[brave goblet]

multiple

[supple elk]

what are you trying to do here specifically?

[brave goblet]

if a user right clicks with a specific item it shoots out tridents

and for lag reasons i would like to be able to kill those tridents

[granite owl]

@fading lake the console output is just the uuid the output ingame is [Click here to copy] + the uuid

[brave goblet]

what if i use a runnable?

oh i can do that

[supple elk]

when?

when they fire another trident?

after a set period of time?

when they left click the item?

[supple elk]

welp guess I'm just fucked

[brave goblet]

yes

and sorry u had to guess all of those events :(

i had to help my dad with sum

[supple elk]

it's alright

and you want all the tridents to be destroyed?

or just the last trident they fired?

[brave goblet]

yes

all of them

[supple elk]

okay the you want a hash map

[brave goblet]

but i realised i can use a runable

[fading lake]

that's strange, can you print it to be 100% that its actually being called

[supple elk]

how will a runnable help?

[brave goblet]

to kill them after a certain amount of time

[fading lake]

add the correct jdk there and it should? work

[granite owl]

sure, btw the parser is a self written ini parser and the rest are also my methods to process data

[supple elk]

wait so do you want it to be based on time or left clicking?

[brave goblet]

time would be easier

because

                            trident.setDamage(10.5);
                            new BukkitRunnable(){

                                @Override
                                public void run() {
trident.kill

                                }
                            }.runTaskLater(this,10);
                        }

[supple elk]

yeah but left clicking is really ez too

[tardy delta]

sometimes im thinking that people dont know that && and || exist

[brave goblet]

and discord doesn't like the formatting :/

[supple elk]

so just pick which you'd prefer

[tardy delta]

whats wrong with scheduler?

:}

[brave goblet]

in the name

[tardy delta]

Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater?

why is manually creating bukkitrunnables even possible :/

[supple elk]

wdym manually creating?

manually creating Bukkit runnables is great $_$

[eternal night]

👀👀

[brave goblet]

Idk ask spigot developers

[tardy delta]

its a weird syntax too

new BukkitRunnable() {}.doSomething

[supple elk]

I love that syntaxx

[tardy delta]

i hate it

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-elmo-fire-elmo-satan-burning-fire-elmo-in-hell-gif-16967547

[supple elk]

you can do stuff like this

that code there creates a pig launcher

fires a pig in a straight line which implodes upon impact 😄

[tardy delta]

yea thats useful on its own but the bukkitrunnable object requires you to immediatly calling a method on the newly constructed object

[supple elk]

that's still fine I think

[brave goblet]

BukkitScheduler scheduler = Bukkit.getScheduler();
scheduler.runTaskLater(plugin, () -> {
  Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Mooooo!");
}, 20L * 30L /*<-- the delay */);```

right i see ur point now-

u can use it to run any task

:)

[supple elk]

it's lambda passing vs inner class

I prefer inner class

[brave goblet]

hm ye personal preference ig

[supple elk]

yeah

I find that using inner classes tends to allow for more flexibility

otherwise you end up having to pass in a bunch of lambdas for everything as parameters

in the case of the scheduler tho it doesn't matter too much

[tardy delta]

smh assigning the scheduler to a variable

[glossy scroll]

It doesn’t require that

Its an anonymous class

[tardy delta]

if you do new BukkitRunnable() {void run()} it wont do anything i mean

[glossy scroll]

Right but that’s intended?

Like java can’t do something if you don’t tell it to

Well i guess you could make your own runnable class and add run() to the constructor

[proper pawn]

How do i rotate the body and head pitch for an NMS npc?

which packet do i need to use?

[visual fulcrum]

i dunno if i'm doing something wrong, but getHitblock on ExpBottleEvent seems to always return null

[supple elk]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/nms-use-mojang-mappings-for-your-spigot-plugins/

was following that tutorial

copied the pom stuff in

no imports for NMS tho?

[eternal night]

Mojang mappings

WorldServer is spigot mappings iirc

[supple elk]

wdym?

[red sedge]

remove the api from spigot-api

so its only spigot

[supple elk]

if I do that I get the imports

but still no nms mappings

[crisp steeple]

refresh maven?

[supple elk]

I did

[crisp steeple]

so they come up in intellisense but don’t actually work

[tardy delta]

tabnine kek

[supple elk]

if I use spigot-api then I don't get imports

if I use just spigot then I get imports with no mappings

[red sedge]

gosh i used to use tabnine, it made the intellisense windwo soo much slower

[supple elk]

any ideas?

[granite owl]

am i getting it right that PlayerInventory is not serializable?

[ivory sleet]

you're getting that right

or wel

it is, but not officially

[granite owl]

how to serialize it then

like

the most simple solution

put everything in wrappers?

store all data in primitives?

[hasty prawn]

ItemStack is Serializable

[granite owl]

i tried

it fails

Utils.serializeToFile(new ItemStack(Material.DIRT, 1), invDir.getPath() + '/' + p.getUniqueId().toString() + ".bin");

ItemStack invFile = (ItemStack) Utils.deserializeFromFile(invDir.getPath() + '/' + p.getUniqueId().toString() + ".bin");
``` ```txt
19.04 18:03:52 [Server] INFO Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.io.WriteAbortedException cannot be cast to class org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack (java.io.WriteAbortedException is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap'; org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack is in unnamed module of loader java.net.URLClassLoader @dcf3e99)

the serializer works just fine using a string

why tho because ive checked ItemStack is serializable

[supple elk]

anyone?

[tardy delta]

why both spigot and spigot-api

[supple elk]

look at the tutorial I sent

I have them there cause that's what it tells me to do

I have no idea how these mappings work

any other tutorials on how I can get nms mappings?

It's kinda impossible to use it without

for the stuff I'm looking at anyway

[crisp steeple]

what’s your serializeToFile function

[granite owl]

@crisp steeple ```java
public static Object serializeToFile(Object obj, String str)
{
try
{
ObjectOutputStream s = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(str));
s.writeObject(obj);
s.flush();
s.close();

        return 0;
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        return e;
    }       
}

public static Object deserializeFromFile(String str)
{
    try
    {
        ObjectInputStream s = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(str));
        Object ret = s.readObject();
        s.close();
        return ret;
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        return e;
    }
}

[tardy delta]

try with resources brr

[crisp steeple]

should probably print the stack trace instead of returning it

[granite owl]

im doing the typecast

individually

[ivory sleet]

perhaps use getContents and setContents as thats just Array<ItemStack>

[echo basalt]

Array<ItemStack> is a weird way of describing ItemStack[]

[crisp steeple]

kotlin moment

you got any idea about nms mappings?
