tender shard
Did you reload the server when loading that plugin?
wdym? after calling "discoverRecipe" it doesn't show up, but when you rejoin, it does show up
seems like "discoverRecipe" only tells the server "player got the recipe" but doesn't inform the client about it
kind hatch
Did you run /reload at any point during your testing?
tender shard
no

Odd. I've had a different experience when it comes to recipes. They just kinda show up when I add them.

any vector
tender shard
you're doing something wrong
what do you set the velocity to?
I bet setting it to 1,1,1 will work fine
you're probably setting it to some way too large thing
vocal tundra
sending it straight up with a magnitude of 1 - 2
tender shard
it works 100% fine
@Override
public void onEnable() {
getCommand("test").setExecutor(new CommandExecutor() {
@Override
public boolean onCommand(@NotNull CommandSender commandSender, @NotNull Command command, @NotNull String s, @NotNull String[] strings) {
commandSender.sendMessage("Setting velocity to 0,1,0");
((Player)commandSender).setVelocity(new Vector(0,1,0));
return true;
}
});
}
a spawned entity tho
I spawn wolf, then set velocity to (0, 1, 0) immediately
it goes up but then it immediately spikes down
for some reason
kind hatch
I think you need to apply velocity on the next tick if you are spawning mobs into existence.
tender shard
nope
you can do it directly
and it works fine
@Override
public void onEnable() {
getCommand("test").setExecutor(new CommandExecutor() {
@Override
public boolean onCommand(@NotNull CommandSender commandSender, @NotNull Command command, @NotNull String s, @NotNull String[] strings) {
commandSender.sendMessage("Setting velocity to 1,1,1");
Entity entity = ((Player)commandSender).getWorld().spawnEntity(((Player)commandSender).getLocation(), EntityType.ARMOR_STAND);
entity.setVelocity(new Vector(1,1,1));
return true;
}
});

my code just worked the first time through perfectly and i dont know wether to be scared, concerned, or just accept it
echo basalt
it's probably bugged and you just don't know it
I always go "yay it isn't throwing an exception" and then I realize it isn't even being called anymore
noble lantern
Well like, im making an annotation that auto registers a command, and the command runs suprisingly
its gonna break sooner or later i feel it
it definatly can have 4 annotations, could add them as optionals
suprisingly the code for the reflection access to this was stupidly simple
havented tested dependency injection for JavaPlugin's though
im sure thats fucked
Edit: broken as shit gg
rugged cargo
where can i look for information about permissions?
noble lantern
where can i look for information about permissions?
What type of information specifically?
tender shard
permissions are basically simply a Map<String,Boolean>
well not exactly but pretty much
tender shard
im trying make per player settings
what does that have to do with permissions?
rugged cargo
as a starting point, see i used a word. it turned out to be the wrong word. oops
tender shard
what kind of settings do you want to store per player?
also do you need those settings to be accessible even when the player is not online?
rugged cargo
nope. basically just a boolean value as a well
tender shard
I'd just use the player's PersistentDataContainer
definitely the easiest way if you only need to store one boolean per player
quaint mantle
or metadata if its per-session
tender shard
yeah, do you need it to be persistent about rejoins / server restarts, or not?
rugged cargo
ideally it should stay forever
tender shard
then use the player's PDC
rugged cargo
ill be toggling the value via a command
tender shard
public boolean getPlayerSetting(Player player) {
return player.getPersistentDataContainer().getOrDefault(settingsKey, PersistentDataType.BYTE, (byte) 0) == (byte) 1;
}
public void setPlayerSetting(Player player, boolean enabled) {
player.getPersistentDataContainer().set(settingsKey, PersistentDataType.BYTE, enabled ? (byte) 1 : (byte) 0);
}
we're using bytes here because spigot doesn't have a boolean type builtin
rugged cargo
ah. i didn't realize that you could cast directly to byte. that is extremely helpful
tender shard
oh also, the settingsKey is a NamespacedKey,where "this" is the main instance of your plugin:
private final NamespacedKey settingsKey = new NamespacedKey(this, "name-of-the-setting");
i used that for recipes, so im good on that. but thanks anyways for this!
tender shard

checking PersistentDataContainer#has() should be enough to ensure that i dont get null when using PersistentDataContainer#get() right?

yes, but as I sent above, you can also just use getOrDefault
rugged cargo
oh. derp
tender shard
getOrDefault will return the given default value (in my case above, "(byte) 0") if it's not set
rugged cargo
i always do things the hard way. 🤦♂️
i feel like i should ensure every player have the key when they join though so that doesn't become a problem.. do you see anything wrong with that?
tender shard
i feel like i should ensure every player have the key when they join though so t...
not really, but I don't think it's necessary
just put your check whether they have it enabled into one method that always uses getOrDefault
but ofc you can also just save it to them onJoin, doesn't really matter
well
wait
it does matter
rugged cargo
right. ok, i guess it makes it less messy
tender shard
imagine the following situation:
- admins can decide whether the default value is "true" or "false" for new players
- a player joins. default is currently set to "false"
- "false" gets saved to that player
- admin changes default value to "true"
- the player will still have false now
If you use getOrDefault instead, the new "default" value will apply to everyone who never changed the value themselves.
If you set the value on join, the new "default" value will only apply to people who had never joined before
so it depends on what behaviour you'd rather like
rugged cargo
well it seems that if i use getOrDefault there is more of a possibility of using a config file to globally specify the default value
vocal tundra
I'm loving it
rugged cargo
which is good
and config files are good for admins as they are common amongst plugins already
tender shard
if you plan to add further config options later on, i'd probably directly store a yaml file in the PDC, or create a custom PDC data type for the player settings btw
rugged cargo
yeah, ok. getOrDefault has a lot going for it. i think thats what i should go with
tender shard
yeah that's what I'd use too
but yeah I tend to simply create my own PDC type so I can easily expand it later on: https://paste.md-5.net/atinipedub.java
rugged cargo
lol. untintended consequence happened. but thats unrelated
but the fact that it happened means that my PDC value works
programmer error. obviously
tender shard
btw maybe my tiny lib might be useful for you: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/more-persistent-data-types-collections-maps-and-arrays-for-pdc.520677/
it adds stuff like DataType.BOOLEAN but also lets you use Maps, Collections and Arrays for EVERY data type, etc bla bla

tender shard
some things are "kinda wrong":
first: give your variables proper name. "player" instead of "p"
second: do not blindly cast "cs" (which should be called "commandSender" or "sender" instead) to Player without checking if it actually is a player
it is shorter but you have tab-complete in your IDE
also imagine it's not a player, but an event that you call "e"
now 100 lines later, you wonder "is e an entity or an event or an exception"
but yeah you should use proper names although that's just a tiny thing I wnated to mention
third: you shouldn't check the command's name, but only register commandexecutors to the right command in the first place
you should actually never need to check "cmd.getName()"
fourth: this kinda code is pretty much duplicated:
if(p.isFlying() || p.getAllowFlight()){
p.setFlying(false);
p.setAllowFlight(false);
p.sendMessage("§6Player flight is now disabled!");
return true;
} else {
p.setAllowFlight(true);
p.setFlying(true);
p.setFlySpeed(speed);
p.sendMessage("§6Player flight is now enabled!");
return true;
}
I'd do it like this: (1 min pls)
echo basalt
yeah that's uh
urban trout
how would i go about making a config.yml for my tab plugin
i have the main config set up
tender shard
boolean isFlying = !player.isFlying();
player.setFlying(isFlying);
player.setAllowFlight(isFlying);
player.sendMessage(isFlying ? "You are now flying" : "You are no longer flying");
return true;
just not sure how id get that to be as many lines as the user wants
tender shard
and fifth: You should not hardcode the § section sign for color codes, it might no longer work in future versions. Instead rather use ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes
echo basalt
boolean flying = player.isFlying() || player.getAllowFlight();
player.setFlying(!flying);
player.setAllowFlight(!flying);
player.sendMessage("§6Player flight is now " + (flying ? "dis" : "en") + "abled!");
im pretty sure its the byte, and that character is just represented to that byte
tender shard
```java
boolean flying = player.isFlying() || player.getAllowFlight();
player.s...
well that's also pretty dirty because you probably don't wanna hardcode the actual message but make it configurable 😛
tender shard
im pretty sure its the byte, and that character is just represented to that byte
currently, yes, but that might change in the future

if (!(sender instanceof Player)) {
sender.sendMessage("This command is only available for players.");
return true;
}
Player player = (Player) sender;

// Not needed, just set the permission in plugin.yml
/*if (!player.hasPermission("frostycore.pfly")) {
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&4You do not have permission to use this command"));
return true;
}*/
final boolean isFlying = player.isFlying() || player.getAllowFlight();
player.setFlying(isFlying);
player.setAllowFlight(isFlying);
if(isFlying) player.setFlySpeed(speed);

Just making sure is this roughly what I should do. for each enchant just add it to this and then when setting the enchant on the item I add the enchant name listed into the PDC. So when I get the string from the PDC I check it against the enum to see if it is a enchant?
tender shard
basically yeah, but normally enums have NAMES_LIKE_THIS
e.g. UNBREAKING, CURSE_OF_BINDING etc
I'd probably save an EnumMap<EnchantEnum,Integer> into the item's PDC
so e.g. you could store stuff like
UNBREAKING -> level 3
CURSE_OF_BINDING -> level 1
in the item meta

it's not meant to be extended, it requires reflection, and it causes trouble when combining enchantments

oh I didnt realize custom enchants were involved, I just saw UNBREAKING and CURSE_OF_BINDING and was like, those are vanilla

I'd use a custom Enum for my enchantments and use my PDC lib to store them as a EnumMap on the itemmeta: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/more-persistent-data-types-collections-maps-and-arrays-for-pdc.520677/
E.g.
EnumMap<MyCustomEnchantment,Integer> enchants = pdc.get(someKey, DataType.asEnumMap(MyCustomEnchantment.class, DataType.INTEGER));
tender shard
oh I didnt realize custom enchants were involved, I just saw UNBREAKING and CURS...
yeah it was just an example to show how you normally name enums
bukkit does that automatically
commands:
test:
description: Some command
permission: some.permission.name
in plugin.yml
now everyone needs to be OP or have some.permission.name to use /test
it knows that automatically since you use getCommand("test") to set the executor
and the permission is attached to the command using plugin.yml
i still don't know why you're checking the command's name
the command name will always be "pfly"
also your code style is weird
sometimes you do
if(statement) { // bracket on same line
and oher times you do
if(statement)
{ // bracket on next line
you're missing the space from the if
tender shard
i never put spaces there
quaint mantle
disgusting creature
pretty sure its required in google codestyle
and what google says, you do!

I don't work for gnoogle 😮
i'm fine with any style as long as the brackets are on the same line

tender shard
but it has some weird side effects so I stopped using it
easier way is to use a properties file to get that kinda stuff
since properties are filtered by default anyways
e.g. bukkit does it like that for Bukkit.getBukkitVersion()
public static String getBukkitVersion() {
String result = "Unknown-Version";
InputStream stream = Bukkit.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("META-INF/maven/org.spigotmc/spigot-api/pom.properties");
Properties properties = new Properties();
if (stream != null) {
try {
properties.load(stream);
result = properties.getProperty("version");
} catch (IOException var4) {
Logger.getLogger(Versioning.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, "Could not get Bukkit version!", var4);
}
}
return result;

this is from Bukkit's "Versioning" class

This is my code for a generic map datatype: https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/MorePersistentDataTypes/blob/master/src/main/java/com/jeff_media/morepersistentdatatypes/datatypes/collections/MapDataType.java
and here's the EnumMap in specific: https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/MorePersistentDataTypes/blob/144995766335727fc6050c2d29b511a0d4103400/src/main/java/com/jeff_media/morepersistentdatatypes/DataType.java#L500
tender shard
Thanks! That has saved a bit of my time working out how to do this 😅
np 🙂
so basically I create two PersistentDataContainers, one holding the keys, another one holding the values. Both are mapped using integer indexes as namespacedkeys. Of course the actual Map datatype then doesn't simply accept the actual key/value type, but again a PersistentDataType<?,K> or <?,V>

Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]);
will get the player whose name matches the first word entered after /feed
flat olive
ty
I also have a question
is the arguments at index 0 just /feed or is it index 1 for the second argument, player
flat olive
and first argument is the command right?
flat olive
oh I see
quaint mantle
command is its own variable, label or Command#getName()
flat olive
arguments are whatever is after
quaint mantle
right
flat olive

if the command is typed and there are no arguments then is arguments null?
quaint mantle
nope its just an empty array
flat olive
Oh dang, okay then
quaint mantle
if (args.length == 0)
flat olive
Yeah that's what I got so far
tender shard
@quaint mantle
this is the result of this:
@Override
public boolean onCommand( CommandSender sender, Command command, String s, String[] strings) {
EnumMap<Material,Integer> map = new EnumMap<>(Material.class);
map.put(Material.DIRT, 1);
map.put(Material.STONE, 2);
map.put(Material.GRASS, 3);
Player player = (Player) sender;
// Save the map
player.getPersistentDataContainer().set(new NamespacedKey(Test.this,"test"), DataType.asEnumMap(Material.class, DataType.INTEGER),map);
return true;
}
(without the "chestsort" part ofc)
so "k:1" = key 1 = "DIRT", "v:1" = value 1 = 1 as integer
and so on
quaint mantle
weird
quaint mantle
i mean im pretty sure we got the same idea
tender shard
you have to imagine that both key and value could be ANYTHING, even an itemstack or whatever, so I'm not simply mapping stuff to a number but create basically a pair of "integer-based" pdc tags for every key and every value

Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]);

ive gotten this far
tender shard
Player typedUser = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]);
whenever I use this right it says ...
if 0 is out of bounds, then it'sb ecfause you haven't entered any name
quaint mantle
this could go about serialization or trying to fuck with pdcs
serialization is better
so i'd just store strings tupled with their type
basically just json
in a pdc string
flat olive
if 0 is out of bounds, then it'sb ecfause you haven't entered any name
yeah it just says its out of bounds in my ide, even though its supposed to getPlayer(whatevertheytype)
tender shard
but what if you now wanna store something like a Map<ItemStack,LinkedHashMap<Material,Map<Integer,ItemMeta>>> @quaint mantle ?
tender shard
I mean noone will ever need it but I wanted to use this to learn about generics so I wanted to make this work with EVERYTHING 😄
quaint mantle
good luck
tender shard
it's already done since 3 or 4 weeks
flat olive
tender shard
erm
yes
obviously
read your code line by line
you do this: "if no args were entered, get the first argument"
there obviously is no first argument if there is none
tender shard
/feed -> args.length == 0
/feed mfnalex-> args.length == 1
flat olive
I was told the first argument was what they typed after command🤷♂️
kind hatch
It is.
kind hatch
It is the first argument, but you have to remember that java uses zero based arrays.
flat olive
Yeah its the first index
kind hatch
So the first element of the array starts at 0 instead of 1
tender shard
{} = empty (0 elements)
{"mfnalex"} = 1 element, so the "biggest" index you can access is 0
{"mfnalex","someoneelse"} = 2 elements, so the "biggest" index you can access is 1
flat olive
ah I see I was confused
quaint mantle
["Bob", "Mary", "Joe"]
^ ^ ^
INDEX 0 1 2
LENGTH 3
I was thinking it was like that but then got confused because I thought the second arg was starting at 0,
Yeah Ik
you said player was 0

just look at the onCommand method

Okay so
kind hatch
The command is excluded from the arguments array. It's technically part of the array, but it's removed because of the implementation,
tender shard
it has
- the sender (player who entered the command)
- the command (e.g. "feed")
- the alias they used for this command (e.g. "feedplayer")
- the arguments, so everything they entered AFTER /<alias>

yes
kind hatch
Offline skins are annoying. I swear older versions just worked when it came to this. Now, you have to make a GameProfile, make a request to mojang servers, populate said GameProfile with the results, then you can get the texture.
tender shard
yes
tbh imho copy pasting the part from my lib is the easiest way, then just use the base64 strings from minecraftheads.net or whatever it's called
grizzled bridge
wtf
tender shard
the PlayerProfile api is nice but also a bit weird
kind hatch
I think he wants to get actual player heads.
tender shard
e.g. you have to provide a link to the minecraft textures server
grizzled bridge
Im taking a look at your lib and this shit seems so complicated
urban trout
hello, got my config and scoreboard sorted but now how would i get the lines of ...
its just showing [] but idk where tf to began with multiple lines on the config and putting them in the scoreboard
tender shard
hello, got my config and scoreboard sorted but now how would i get the lines of ...
do you know the differences between scoreboards, objectives and scores?
urban trout
well objective is the title i think
score is like the main bit
with text n stuff
and scoreboard is like the board
tender shard
IIRC people mostly abuse the score to sort the lines
while objective is the actual text
urban trout
oh yeye
tender shard
e.g. a scoreboard like this:
Money: 37$ 1
Your name: mfnalex 2
this scoreboard has two objectives, called "Money: XX$" and "Your name: mfnalex"
the score of the objectives are only used to sort the lines
grizzled bridge
@tender shard I'm confused, your lib uses offline players too?
urban trout
the score of the objectives are only used to sort the lines
oh ye
tender shard
<@632994436401594368> I'm confused, your lib uses offline players too?
yes but only if you want that. if you want to use textures of players who have never joined before, you have to pass the base64 string instead
urban trout
so how would i like split up a list into different scores so its on different lines
tender shard
loop through your list of strings. e.g. imagine this is your list:
- "first line"
- "second line"
urban trout
ye

create a new objective called "first line" and give it score 2
create a new objective called "second line" and give it score 1

Im just a bit confused what the base64 string is
tender shard
basically the top line has to have the highest score
tender shard
Im just a bit confused what the base64 string is
https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-heads/decoration/51720-orb-yellow scroll to the bottom. there's a field "value". that's the base64 thing
kind hatch
The base64 string is just an encoded string that represents a texture.
grizzled bridge
https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-heads/decoration/51720-orb-yellow scroll to t...
ok
Also why the random UUID?
tender shard
exactly. the random UUID is to not mess up profiles of players who are actually on your server
I still wonder - why do you need textures of players who never joined your server, if it's not meant to be a "custom" texture?
like e.g. you will never need the skin of "mfnalex" if I never joined your server. but obviously you might want to use a custom texture from minecraft-heads.com
so I don't really understand what you are actually trying to do
tender shard
If you want a real player, just use their UUID.
yeah but they need the texture of a player from their UUID while that player has never joined
at least that's how I understood it
grizzled bridge
I still wonder - why do you need textures of players who never joined your serve...
I want set up armor stands thats all
kind hatch
yeah but they need the texture of a player from their UUID while that player has...
I'm pretty sure they could also request the online uuid for said player when they make the request to mojang servers,
grizzled bridge
its for a feature on my server
tender shard
I want set up armor stands thats all
so you do want CUSTOM head textures, and not the texture that a player with a specific UUID who never joined your server currently has, right?

That's either from NMS or the remapped jar.
tender shard
That's either from NMS or the remapped jar.
nope. it's in it's own lib meanwhile, called com.mojang.authlib
one has to manually install it using mvn install:install-file
carmine mica
ok, well you don't have to manually install it. just add the mojang maven repo to your pom and the dependency that way
tender shard
oh yeah that works too, I didn't know they have a public repo
kind hatch
Are you sure? Because I don't even have that repo in my pom and GameProfile is just available to me.

oh you're right, in the remapped version it is included. it's simply the "obfuscated" spigot.jar that doesn't have it included

I just so happen to always compile craftbukkit and have the remapped versions. 😛
tender shard
I got something mixed up in my head. It was those people who are NOT using maven who had to manually add the authlib as dependency
because of the whole "bootstrap .jar" stuff
tender shard
https://pastebin.com/DyGMP6xW
as I said, change "maven-shade-plugin" to version "3.3.0-SNAPSHOT" or later in your pom.xml. you might also need to add the proper plugin repository though
so you might have to add this too:
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>apache.snapshots</id>
<url>https://repository.apache.org/snapshots/</url>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
if you don't get it to work, ?paste your pom.xml

Something that's been bugging me for a while. Why is it that my IDE gives this error, but still compiles? I have multiple java versions installed. (Java 8, 11, 16, and 17) My IDE is set to use the Java 16 SDK, I'm telling maven to compile against Java 8 and that the project source is Java 8. Yet, it still compiles successfully.
I'm testing the plugin on 1.18.2 so, I need java 16. I'm assuming that my jar file wouldn't actually work on a Java 8 server if it reached this line of code. Haven't tested that, but why is it compiling?
tender shard
switch to java 8 and it won't compile
your .jar would not run on java 1.8
btw you do not NEED java 16 for a 1.18 plugin
simply remove the charset and you get rid of that warning
or better
replace "StandardCharsets.UTF8" with a string "UTF-8"
lavish hemlock
StandardCharsets is Java 7, Alex
Actually wait no
java.nio.charset was added as early as Java 4
tender shard
`StandardCharsets` is Java 7, Alex
it is, so?
it's not part of URLDecoder constructor in java 8
erm I mean
of the decode() method
grizzled bridge
@tender shard https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/#1-18-2 This seems to be giving me spigot but I want paper, how can I change this
tender shard
java 8 expects a String as charset in java 8 @lavish hemlock
java 16+ also stills accepts the string
so if they are compiling for java 8 anyway, they should also use the string

Oh right. I forgot about the forwards compatibility aspect of Java for a second there. 😛
tender shard
I compile ALL my plugins for java 8, using only java 8 or earlier API, and that runs fine on java 17. java 17 can easily run java 8 code. it's just that minecraft itself now requires java 17 because the server itself uses some modern features
so yeah you should either not compile for java 8, or stop using java 10+ features 😛
kind hatch
Well, I'm trying to move past java 8, but I need to get a couple more updates out first before I can make the full transition.
tender shard
for now you can easily replace StandardCharsets.UTF_8 with either StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name() or simply replace it with a string "UTF-8"
kind hatch
Gotcha. It's weird having multiple versions installed. The new switch statement format prevented me from compiling, which I kinda expected, but this one was weird to me because, normally, when any type of error shows up, it just doesn't compile.
tender shard
yeah that's because you weren't using a new "language feature" with the Charset thingy
the new switch cannot be translated to a java 8 source file since that is a language feature only available in java 14+
but it's no problem to compile against a method that's not included in an older JDK
it would simply throw a NoSuchMethodError at runtime on java 8
but since you used java 16, it compiled fine, even to a java 8 class file
I can't find the proper words to explain it, I hope you get what I'm trying to say lol
kind hatch
I think it makes more sense now. It's just a little weird that you are allowed to do that.
tender shard
yeah well, it has to do with how bytecode works
the bytecode simply sees "get the method called "decode(String, StandardCharset)" and call it using the following params: ..."
javac is invoked using java 16 so it sees that method
so it's like forgetting to shade a library when you run that in java 8 then
but obviously calling a method is no different in java 8 than in java 16
that's why it compiles fine
kind hatch
That's something else that I'm wondering about though. I thought that the point of defining this
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<maven.compiler.source>8</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>
In the pom would force compilation in the defined java version.
tender shard
oh no, if you look at your maven log, you'll see that it used java 16 or whatever you set in your IDE to call javac

tender shard
That's something else that I'm wondering about though. I thought that the point ...
this simply compiles the file in a format that's understandable for java 8
kind hatch
Yea, just looked at the log. It's using java 16.
tender shard
it does NOT make sure that all those methods are also there. after all, you could have compiled against a "runtime dependency" like spigot
obviously org.bukkit.craftbukkit.CraftServer is also not present in the JDK 8 but you can still compile your code, since the compiler has it as runtime dependency 🙂
and the JDK 16 compiler also had that method as "runtime dependency"
I can't explain it better right now, it's too late for that 😄
kind hatch
No worries. I get the gist of it. I also now understand what those flags actually do.

Floor the coords and add 0.5
didn't even need to floor, thanks

and iirc abstract is forcing u to override them

are you on 1.7 server?

are you on 1.7 server?
1.18

because unless you're using worldedit or something like that, number ids are not used anymore, correct me if im wrong
olive tapir
ohhh

what would you need them for?

No thanks for the answer 👍
spring pike
no problem
quiet ice
not really a satisfying solution though
Just use the epsilon garbage collector. Your server will die from an OOM within a minute

I'm trying to store metadata about a class. I have an abstract game class which all different games will implement, then a particular instance of a minigame will be one instance of a child class. I need metadata about each game class though, like the name of the game, display icon etc. Currently I have a static abstract field for each piece of meta data, however this is difficult to access when there is no specific instance of the class available. Any recommendations on how to do this?
for example:
I could do game.getField("name")
quiet ice
Game.name
supple elk
doesn't work
quiet ice
it does, it's static
supple elk
oh wait
chrome beacon
The real question is why is it static
glossy venture
`Game.name`
nah they want to have it for every class i think
supple elk
nah they want to have it for every class i think
yeah
chrome beacon
So remove static
supple elk
each child class needs to have a different val
glossy venture
just do getField() i guess
supple elk
So remove static
but it's the same across all instances
quiet ice
that is kind of an antipattern
quiet ice
How many game instances should there be?
glossy venture
that is kind of an antipattern
bukkit does the same thing with the HandlerList thing on events
supple elk
any number
chrome beacon
Just have a getName method or smth and let each child class specify
quiet ice
If there is only one you might as well use a thread local :P
supple elk
Just have a getName method or smth and let each child class specify
ah
yeah that's prob the thing
quiet ice
bukkit does the same thing with the `HandlerList` thing on events
Still a dumb solution
glossy venture
bruh i do it too
paper falcon
hey I've also got a question,
where should I put ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes() in here cuz wherever I do I get errors because the said method requires me to provide a string but I have an array list (lores from config).
ArrayList<String> lore = (ArrayList<String>) main.getConfig().getStringList("items.0.lore");
assert meta != null;
meta.setLore(lore);
supple elk
Just have a getName method or smth and let each child class specify
hang on this still doesn't work I don't think
glossy venture
hey I've also got a question,
where should I put `ChatColor.translateAlternateCo...
you need to loop over the list and build a new one with the translated codes
supple elk
cause I need to be able to access the method without an instance of the class
glossy venture
hang on this still doesn't work I don't think
no because you need it on the class right
not on the instance
supple elk
yeah
quiet ice
There is no need for obtaining the handler list class that way anyways (well there is, but only because of strange API).
paper falcon
you need to loop over the list and build a new one with the translated codes
hold on
chrome beacon
uh reflection it is then I guess
chrome beacon
oh well either way this sounds like a bad idea
quiet ice
MBassador for example can use ANY object as an event while still being able to use the object hierarchy
glossy venture
you can do it quite simply with
List<String> translatedLore = lore.stream().map(line -> ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', line)).collect(Collectors.toList());
@paper falcon
supple elk
oh well either way this sounds like a bad idea
how would you go about the problem then?
glossy venture
think that should work
chrome beacon
Same as I said
supple elk
I'm open to suggestions on how to structure it properly
chrome beacon
Just create an instance and get it
supple elk
but an instance of a game is a physical game in progress
quiet ice
Are you sure that you cannot create an instance of the class at that point?
supple elk
yes
in a menu I need to display which games exist
meaning I need to know the name of a game and a display icon
noble lantern
make a boolean of started and if its false the game isnt started
And then loop through the listof games and from there filter by true started booleans
boom, running games
paper falcon
you can do it quite simply with
```java
List<String> translatedLore = lore.strea...
that did the trick, thank you very much 🙂
quiet ice
Yeah then it is quite clear that you will have a "GameFactory" class that will be able to create games
glossy venture
np
noble lantern
^
glossy venture
meaning I need to know the name of a game and a display icon
but then you need an instance right
noble lantern
annotations in java are fun
quiet ice
So like your game meta idea but it is the only way to create a game
glossy venture
and then you can just do
public abstract String getName();
no cause there still no instances in existance
it shows the possible games
quiet ice
I only really use annotations for ASM Transforming these days or for event handling or for NotNull/Nullable and other contracts
supple elk
so for example say I have 3 different games, tnt run, survival games and skywars
there can be multiple instances of each
but I need to know the metadata about each without there being any instances
the name of the game, icon, etc
cause an instance is a physical game in progress
chrome beacon
Just use an instance
quiet ice
public interface GameFactory {
public Game createGame();
public String getName();
}
public interface Game {
public GameFactory getFactory();
}
is how I would do it
chrome beacon
You will have them stored somewhere
noble lantern

been playing around with them today for a command lib I'm working on
havent really touched them too much beforehand
supple elk
Just use an instance
this feels like a strange solution to me
chrome beacon
Not really
noble lantern
Its normally how you do things
you have a Manager of some sorts for your list of Game's
chrome beacon
If you want a list of running games, use the running games instance?
quiet ice
Either way, reflection is the wrong way of doing it
supple elk
```java
public interface GameFactory {
public Game createGame();
public St...
I think I prefer the Factory idea
supple elk
Either way, reflection is the wrong way of doing it
yeah ik that much
quiet ice
The other solution would be to have something like
public abstract class Game {
private boolean started = false;
private final String name;
private static final Map<String, ? extends Game> games = new HashMap<>();
protected Game(String name) {
this.name = name;
if (games.putIfAbsent(name, this) != null) {
throw new IllegalStateException("There is already a game with that name");
}
}
public boolean start() {
started = true;
}
public boolean end() {
started = false;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public boolean isStarted() {
return started;
}
public static String getGameByName(String name) {
return games.get(name);
}
}
Not sure if you really want to put things in the map directly in the constructor
quiet ice
I just did that to make sure that there aren't two game instances with the same name
granite owl
can i store objects in pdc?
tall dragon
if you serialize/deserialize them
quiet ice
?jd-s
undone axleBOT
chrome beacon
https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/MorePersistentDataTypes
You can use this if you want things to be easier 🙂
quiet ice
?stash
undone axleBOT
granite owl
hm
quiet ice
It can also be an int-array and anything like that
supple elk
@quiet ice how is this?
so then if I want metadata I can call GameManager.getSkyWarsFactory.getMeta()
or getSkyWarsFactory.createGame() for a new game
quiet ice
I'd pass the factory instance through the game so it is a singleton
supple elk
slight issue with that
so if I have an abstract class or an interface for the Game class
what would the method declaration be?
cause I want Skywars to return a SkywarsFactory
quiet ice
yes, you can simple pass that factory through the contructor of skywars
supple elk
but this method also needs to be static doesn't it?
solid cargo
is there any like minigame api?
supple elk
ughh why are abstract static methods not a thing
kindred valley
but this method also needs to be static doesn't it?
no matter if its static
supple elk
no matter if its static
it does cause I need an instance of the factory without an instance of a game
cause the factory is the only thing which can get me an instance of the game
why is this so confusinngg
glossy venture
oh wait so Game is like the game type
supple elk
yes
supple elk
wait
steel swan
?paste
undone axleBOT
glossy venture
oh yea
supple elk
then an instance of a Game is a physical game itself
steel swan
hey, i have this code but i get an error while running it :
https://paste.md-5.net/equnohugac.java
the error :
https://paste.md-5.net/pubomuzuxe.bash
glossy venture
public class Map {
private final GameType type;
public Map(..., GameType type) {
this.type = type;
}
/* some function */ {
String name = type.getName();
}
}
public class Game {
private final GameType type;
}
public class GameType<T extends Game> {
private final Class<? extends Game> runtimeType;
private final String name;
public GameType(...) { /* do init */ }
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public abstract T createGame(...);
}
``` @supple elk something like this would workah ok
supple elk
Geol was suggesting that I get the GameType from the Game itself
but that doesn't seem possible
glossy venture
why call it factory tho
supple elk
supple elk
why call it factory tho
cause it creates a Game ig?
supple elk
mk
glossy venture
nah not really but it might be useful
supple elk
mk
it means I have to pass in the same info twice though
so I can't do Class<? extends Game?> runtimeType = G
supple elk
type erasure
glossy venture
yeah
supple elk
glossy venture
yes
supple elk
I'm then using a singleton manager to store an instance of each factory
or gametype in this case
do you think an enum might be useful?
supple elk
okay
supple elk
I think the system I have rn should work fine
glossy venture
yeah
glossy venture
also maybe store all running games in the game manager
glossy venture
and yeah calling it GameType makes sense
it really doesnt matter but i just thought it made more sense
supple elk
it does
If I'm passing it into the map
kinda weird to pass in a factory to the map or whatever
glossy venture
true
if youre going to make it available as an api or just want it to be clear i would use GameType yeah
supple elk
I mean I could make it as an API ig
I'm basically building all the foundational work atm to make minigames
I've done NPCS
glossy venture
nice
supple elk
a straight projectile
supple elk
My plan was just to make minigames to play with friends
glossy venture
ah
supple elk
but maybe I should separate API and implementation
hmm
there is one thing I don't like currently tho
which is that every new gameType I create I have to declare a new static field in the manager
supple elk
yeah
glossy venture
in your onEnable
supple elk
currently it's not gonna work as an API
as u have to add that static field into the class
granite owl
can i somehow create an inventory thats identical to creative/survival inventory a player opens when pressing E?
restive tangle
Don't think so
glossy venture
as u have to add that static field into the class
yeah
supple elk
but ur right it is very useful to have 🤔
glossy venture
but if you want commands like /creategame skywars you might want to store them in a map
supple elk
what would be the key?
restive tangle
What are you trying to implement?
supple elk
like the class of the Game?
restive tangle
No, just generally
supple elk
<<? extends Game>, GameType>
noble lantern
Will classes extending JavaPlugin get a Constructor called if they have one?
supple elk
What are you trying to implement?
r u talking to me?
restive tangle
Yes
glossy venture
public class GameType {
// ...
private final String id;
public String getId() {
return id;
}
}
public class GameManager {
private final Map<String, GameType> typesById = new HashMap<>();
public void registerType(GameType type) {
gamesById.put(type.getId(), type);
}
}
smth like this
restive tangle
I guess you could use an enum
supple elk
ah ok
supple elk
I guess you could use an enum
perhaps? Though can that be added too easily?
restive tangle
Yes
supple elk
example plz
