help-development

[ivory sleet]

they just left I think

[grim ice]

It is

[compact haven]

I mean you could code them in C

[smoky oak]

well if you have the right compiler

[compact haven]

Not without an interpreter

[grim ice]

Damn

idk why did he do that tho

[compact haven]

or something that transpired python to C or Java

[dark arrow]

there is no python documentation

[compact haven]

With C he can have native binds

[dark arrow]

?

[grim ice]

Maow isnt the type to leave cuz he's been called dumb

[river oracle]

don't just learn java at that point

[grim ice]

no quit it

python sucks

[river oracle]

I love python bro its amazing just don't use it for spigot development :/

lol you gotta know when to use a language

[grim ice]

ive never seen anyone that learns python except since it sounds easy

[dark arrow]

python does not suck its just not the right place to use it i guess

[ivory sleet]

py def has its places

[smoky oak]

well not in servers

[grim ice]

I dont see a use for py except ML

[worldly ingot]

If you're knowledgeable in Java, you can write a Python plugin loader implementation

[dark arrow]

bots>

[worldly ingot]

Bukkit is designed to have plugins be loaded in any language

[dark arrow]

?

[smoky oak]

WHY

[river oracle]

Discord bots work pretty well with python too tbh

[worldly ingot]

In fact, https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/python-plugin-loader

[grim ice]

u can make bots in any language that you can send requests with@dark arrow

[worldly ingot]

Though it's very, very old and doubt it works anymore

[grim ice]

You can do it with any language

[dark arrow]

yah but python is easy

[grim ice]

that supports web requests

Lmao

dont give me that shit ass argument

[dark arrow]

so i guess i have to learn java 😦

[worldly ingot]

That plugin doesn't even use the plugin loader like it should lol
EDIT: Oh it does! I lied

[grim ice]

if you learn a langauge because it's "easy" you're either a 12 years old or on drugs

or

[river oracle]

java isn't too bad if your familiar with the concepts already

[grim ice]

you're not serious with learning it

[ivory sleet]

yeah, I mean learning java wont directly harm you, quite the opposite if anything

[smoky oak]

>++++++++[<+++++++++>-]<.>++++[<+++++++>-]<+.+++++++..+++.>>++++++[<+++++++>-]<+

``` cough cough

[worldly ingot]

throw new InvalidPluginException(new Exception("This shouldn't be happening; go tell whoever altered the plugin loading api in bukkit that they're whores."));
LMAO

[river oracle]

if you want to do android development too I might reccomend kotlin over java but if your just doing minecraft plugins stick with java

[grim ice]

Python has no use at all except for very specific things that most people dont even use, with no use I mean that there are way too many alternatives that may or may not be better

[ivory sleet]

lol wtf

[dark arrow]

i mean tot say that mincraft was my favourite game so i wanted to learn plugin coding and learning java will take time thatts why i was said

[dark arrow]

brain**** ?

[smoky oak]

yep

a fellow man of culture

[river oracle]

I love my python ML libraries leave me alone

[void mason]

hi

[ivory sleet]

I mean py is good for more than just ML lol

[grim ice]

very specific things I meant ML and a few others ig

[grim ice]

Example?

[void mason]

i have a little question

[river oracle]

?ask

[undone axle]

If you have a question, please just ask it. Don't look for staff or topic experts. Don't ask to ask or ask if people are awake or available. Just ask the question to the channel straight out, and wait patiently for a reply. Make sure you use the right channel regarding the topic of your question. Create a thread in case the channel is already in use!

[ivory sleet]

like first of all isnt quite verbose, and yes whilst it certainly isnt the most performant lang out there it can scale quite well in backend

[grim ice]

It's messy as fuck.

[dark arrow]

python is a very good language for machine learnig and backend of websites

[ivory sleet]

messy as?

[grim ice]

As I said, there are many alternatives

[river oracle]

its not messy at all

its very clean and organized

[void mason]

if someone is spectating an entity, is it possible to detect the mouse scrolling and the mouse motion x and y ???

[grim ice]

messy as its not organized

nope, not organized at all

[ivory sleet]

the type hinting in py is dogshit fs

but py is definitely not messy

perhaps the oo part a bit

[grim ice]

Well that might be opinions

[ivory sleet]

but oo kinda sucks

[grim ice]

but it's syntax disgusts me

[river oracle]

you can code messy python, but you can code messy any language

[smoky oak]

PlayerMoveEvent or smth

[ivory sleet]

mye

the syntax is questionable

[smoky oak]

wait

[ancient plank]

I picked up java because it's easy

[ivory sleet]

altho idk if thats a valid reason to dissuade yourself from it

[dark arrow]

its not my firend programming language

[grim ice]

hm

[dark arrow]

and i am 14 yers xD

[void mason]

does it detect the player movement or the mouse motion ? sorry if my english is bad :/

[grim ice]

Whats a firend

[grim ice]

It is

[noble lantern]

I learned Java and nodejs cause they were easy

[dark arrow]

*first

[sterile token]

isnt it kotlin a language based on JVM?

[river oracle]

yes

[dark arrow]

my bad

[grim ice]

thats you then

[river oracle]

thats why you can make spigot plugins fairly easily with it

[ivory sleet]

I mean you can say that to any foreign programming language, altho its not a valid argument, just an opinion

[smoky oak]

print("hello world");
```vs
```java
class HelloWorld{
  public static void main(String[] args){
    System.out.println("hello world");
  }
}

'''easy'''

[ivory sleet]

easy is quite subjective

[sterile token]

So in others words Kotlin, Groove and Java are the same shit with diff color.

[grim ice]

The whole concept of just writing a line of code and it works makes me cringe

[ivory sleet]

thought u liked abstraction

[grim ice]

Not to that extent

code();

Absolutely awesome abstraction

[echo basalt]

java forces you into oop

[sterile token]

Conclure fully java apis only contains interfaces and abstract right?

[grim ice]

it abstracted my whole project

[ivory sleet]

no not really

[ancient plank]

boiler plate doesn't add difficulty imo

[grim ice]

that's not what I like lol

[void mason]

because if someone is spectating an entity he cant move

[ivory sleet]

a java api mustnt have only java interfaces and abstract classes

[sterile token]

I need a good tutorial about java apis

[grim ice]

imo it's quite unorganized that you just write a line of code and it works

[ivory sleet]

sometimes you have pojos simply

and in that case just let them be pojos

[ancient plank]

It's always been easier for me to read java than something like python, and debugging java is much easier than debugging python imo

[grim ice]

and writing it in a function will also work

[grim ice]

Same

Java makes sense to me

[ivory sleet]

idk I dont see why it would be unorganized

[sterile token]

Non hightly typed languages == shit

[grim ice]

Python is so unorganized and empty of rules it hurts my eyes

[ivory sleet]

like you can write one line in java and make it work as well

empty of rules such as?

[grim ice]

Sure but there are some concepts like

[smoky oak]

yea java doesnt care about line breaks

[river oracle]

unless your writing macros or scripts lmao then have fun

[noble lantern]

My api just has normal classes in it along with heavy interfaces and abstract classes sprinkled in

[grim ice]

You need to have a method to run code

or a constructor

[smoky oak]

they're there for us to read it easier

[noble lantern]

Just code dive projects

[sterile token]

Burch do oyu have a github tutorial for apis?

[smoky oak]

the compiler just deletes all spaces and line breaks outside of strings

[ivory sleet]

you can in py enforce an entrypoint also

[grim ice]

and code is divided into classes that you have to declare

[ivory sleet]

like thats possible

well py offers that as well

[grim ice]

and you have to write the type of the variable

[noble lantern]

No its an api you kinda just make it

[grim ice]

But not enforced

[ancient plank]

The big nope for python for me is debugging and lack of curly braces lol

[ivory sleet]

which is good

[grim ice]

If it doesnt enforce at least 2 of what I mentioned, it's unorganized imo

There are exceptions surely though

[sterile token]

I know just a tutorial with recommendations, good practices, etc

[ivory sleet]

quite weird definition of unorganized

[river oracle]

my favorite part of python is no semi colons lol

[sterile token]

I always want to add a picture to a python exe but never find ho

[ivory sleet]

but Ig

[grim ice]

Ew

[ivory sleet]

I mean py still has types

[grim ice]

thats one more thing

[noble lantern]

I never once looked at a tutorial for it

[grim ice]

i hate not having to write a semicolon

how do i differ from a line of code or another

[noble lantern]

I just shoved a bunch of shit together, it looked nice and runs smooth so its good for me

[ivory sleet]

lol 9/10 modern languages make semi colons optional

guess you're stuck with java, C# and older langs

[dark arrow]

according to me, python is a language which is easy for beginners but its hard to master as it divided into multiple categories and there are lots of libraries to know about

[grim ice]

Good

[sterile token]

that shity because you dont know when another line of code end

🤔

[ivory sleet]

bruh

[grim ice]

If you learn it since its easy for beginners

quit

[ivory sleet]

just look at the end of the line?

[compact haven]

it ends at the end of the statement

not very difficult

[grim ice]

Well yes, but what if i wanna do a lot of shit in one line

:O

like Cipher project

[compact haven]

well then cry

[dark arrow]

i learned it for ML and pyautogui(for bots)

[compact haven]

some languages still have them

[ivory sleet]

^

[noble lantern]

Compressed javascriot web code: end of the line?

[river oracle]

I learned python and java because its easy for beginners and I had some applicable uses I might find with the languages.

[compact haven]

they’re just not required

[mortal hare]

is there any hotspot intrinsic method in java to copy collection in range to another collection or an array?

[ivory sleet]

its just that they're optional like kotlin for instance, as semi colons for line termination has been proven rather boilerplaty

[grim ice]

You definitely wont take it as a career though, will you?

[ivory sleet]

System::copyarray

or well

[grim ice]

and you couldve had so much potential if you started with something low end like C

[river oracle]

Python? Not unless I do data science then i might look into alternatives though. I'm more into software development, but I haven't touched anything outside of Java.

[grim ice]

but even if you had, you mightve ruined it with learning python as your first since it'll take you a while to get used to C or Java syntax and principles

[mortal hare]

problem is that i need to copy from collection

to array

[ivory sleet]

oh

[mortal hare]

i think there's none

[ivory sleet]

toArray?

[grim ice]

And I doubt anyone will care about python in ur portfolio

[mortal hare]

that is not in range of

it would create new array

[grim ice]

if it's me, I would ignore it

[mortal hare]

if primitive destination array overfills

[grim ice]

python is so common for starters that it doesnt stand out

in portfolios

[ivory sleet]

that heavily depends on which company

[grim ice]

I would care more if you had Rust, or some low end languages

[noble lantern]

List.of(...) or ArrayList#addAll

[mortal hare]

.toArray()

[grim ice]

Sure ig

[ivory sleet]

py isnt amongst top 5 for some random reason 2hex

there are quite justifiable and good reasons

[rugged cargo]

hello all. if i were to want to change the max stack size of an itemstack, would reflection be the approach. or is there even a feasable approach

[ivory sleet]

ah

[grim ice]

but from what ive seen, i havent seen anyone hired merely for python

[mortal hare]

i need an array not a list or collection

[noble lantern]

Arrays should have a similar method to those

[ivory sleet]

mye its probably hard to get in anywhere by just knowing a language, like you pretty much need to know other technologies as a minimum such as kubernates, docker and redis

[mortal hare]

Arrays util class has copyOfRange

but Collections class does not

not sure why

[echo basalt]

there's a maxStack int

on the Material enum

[noble lantern]

Collections cant be modified iirc

Thats prolly why

[mortal hare]

eh fuck it, im just gonna do my own iteration

[ivory sleet]

🥲

[grim ice]

lol

[echo basalt]

System.arrayCopy

[void mason]

hi guys

[ivory sleet]

hello eytan

[grim ice]

hello

[noble lantern]

Stack overflow may have some answers

[mortal hare]

ArrayCopy does copying from array to array

not from Collection to Array

[void mason]

i really need help

[echo basalt]

bruh

[mortal hare]

I need to copy Collection to array. If it overfills, skip overfilling parts of array, just copy how much it'll fit inside array

[grim ice]

in next april fools i want this channel to be renamed to SO-ripoff

it would be funny

prob never happening tho

[echo basalt]

then just loop

[mortal hare]

yea, i was hoping to find something like Arrays.copyOfRange hotspot intrinsic method but for collections but oh well,

i would've used Arrays.AsList() if there was Collections.copyOfRange()

[void mason]

i need to detect the mouse motion of a player spectating an entity (he cant move because he is spectating an entity)

and the mouse scrolling

[echo basalt]

Collection<Object> collection = ...;
Object[] array = new Object[whateverMySize];

// Collection might not be ordered
int index = 0;
for(Object object : collection) {
  if(index >= whateverMySize)
    continue;

  array[index++] = object;
}

[ivory sleet]

problem is

collections do not have any notion of index based order

thats an impl detail for List and its derivative

[mortal hare]

Ok then, Lists?

[ivory sleet]

ye

[echo basalt]

lists do

sets don't

[mortal hare]

i would have used og for loop here, instead of enhanced for but ok

[ivory sleet]

dovidas, iirc ArrayList even overrides toArray methods from AbstractCollection

[echo basalt]

naive me thinking that hashmaps were looped by order of insertion 4 years ago

[ivory sleet]

so might be worth looking into

[echo basalt]

There's no Collection#get(index)

[mortal hare]

with iterator

[echo basalt]

ah

Whatever then

javac probably optimizes it regardless

[mortal hare]

it doesnt matter

I agree

[quaint mantle]

I asked this question million times but...

org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin cannot be resolved

i tried it with maven but still

i cant code plugins until somebody answers 😦

[exotic depot]

is there any difference in sending a mob effect packet to add glowing to an entity vs a entity metadata packet?

[brittle lily]

Hi Guys Someone Can Tell me how can I add extraordinary enchants to ItemStack

enchantd.addEnchantment(Enchantment.DAMAGE_ALL, 2);

for Example I wanna Make 50 Level Sharpness Enchant...

[eternal night]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/ItemStack.html#addUnsafeEnchantment(org.bukkit.enchantments.Enchantment,int)

[river oracle]

itemMeta.addEnchant(enchant, level, ignoreLevelRestriction)

[void mason]

i need to detect the mouse motion of a player spectating an entity (he cant move because he is spectating an entity)
and the mouse scrolling

[brittle lily]

Thank You @eternal night and @river oracle Guys :))

[echo basalt]

Entity metadata is preferable

the potion effect is only used for spectral arrows

[quaint mantle]

please dont ignore me

[exotic depot]

ok thanks

[eternal night]

what build tool are you using ? share your pom.xml/build.gradle.kts ? what ide are you using ?

[quaint mantle]

eclipse

[eternal night]

and you are using maven ?

[quaint mantle]

yes

[eternal night]

share your pom.xml file then please

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[brittle lily]

Oh I couldnt add enchant after that

[quaint mantle]

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

[brittle lily]

@eternal night Can You Look That Please

[eternal night]

I mean

that is just invalid java

the pom.xml looks good so far

I am unsure how eclipse handles maven

maybe you have to import the project as a maven project ?

[quaint mantle]

i did

i used it with maven

[eternal night]

Well the pom.xml looks good. Sorry I am not too used to eclipse and cannot really help you passed that

[quaint mantle]

somebody here using it?

[quaint mantle]

ok thanks

[brittle lily]

Someone Can Help Me On This

[green prism]

Hey guys. I saw a guy doing a weird thing and I was thinking about remaking it. He made a plugin that adds clothes to a player skin but doesn't remove parts like the player head skin. Have you any idea?

[golden kelp]

Pass the itemMeta variable into that method

[delicate lynx]

add the enchantment to the itemMeta, then pass it into the method to set it ^

[golden kelp]

O

[green prism]

Pls help me

[golden kelp]

I mean it's basic java u should know that

[golden kelp]

No idea

[green prism]

Cool

[delicate lynx]

isn't that skin thing just toggleable layers? that's vanilla

[golden kelp]

Yea ^^

[green prism]

Yep, It adds layers I think

[delicate lynx]

vanilla skins have layers you can toggle in your client settings

that's not a plugin

[green prism]

Bro he can add clothes to the player skin

That's the plugin thing

[delicate lynx]

you will have to have a list of skins with these clothes and do something with their profile

[brittle lily]

Hey

[green prism]

"and do something with their profile" that's the question

[brittle lily]

Like That?

[delicate lynx]

take the addEnchant thing out and put it onto its own line

then do setItemMeta(itemMeta)

just make sure you add the enchantment first before setting the itemMeta

[sterile grotto]

you can use NMS to change player skin

[brittle lily]

I'm Stuck Again 😦

[sterile grotto]

yes

need some reflection

[sterile grotto]

enchanted.setItemMeta(itemMeta)

[brittle lily]

oh wait I think I se

[delicate lynx]

that itemMeta call is useless

[sterile grotto]

Mojang provide an object called GameProfile to store player informations

including name UUID skin and other stuff

you can use NMS to get access to GameProfile and use reflection to edit it's fields

actually no

[brittle lily]

GG GUYS ! Thank You So Much

[sterile grotto]

it can take texture as string

https://mineskin.org/

[quaint mantle]

can you also help me

[sterile grotto]

you can get those string value by this website

[quaint mantle]

i asked milion times

[quaint mantle]

this

[sterile grotto]

are you trying to code with NMS?

[quaint mantle]

what is NMS

[sterile grotto]

just normal API, get it

[sterile grotto]

nvm

can you show us your pom.xml

[quaint mantle]

i already shown and he said its ok

[golden turret]

why is the event not called even if i held an item when i right click in the air?

[quaint mantle]

see

[eternal night]

https://paste.md-5.net/urebobubiw.xml was their pom

[sterile grotto]

ok thx

[sterile grotto]

change your java version to 17 and try again

[eternal night]

maybe java.version murders them here 🤔 is spigot-api java 17 these days ?

[sterile grotto]

yes

[eternal night]

oh really ?

[sterile grotto]

java 17 and above is required

[eternal night]

well the server needs it

I am talking about the api

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/bukkit/browse/pom.xml#18

bukkit still compiles to java 8

[quaint mantle]

i changed but still

[sterile grotto]

rebuild your project or reboot your IDEA

sometimes it just break for no reason

[brittle lily]

this code will work ?

I wanna check my args[0]

[quaint mantle]

ok

[sterile grotto]

sometimes maven has strong requirement on java version(I actually don't know if that is true, but I used met this kind of problem which solved by change java version)

[quaint mantle]

OMG

[brittle lily]

How Can I check my args[0] if Its "zombie"? The code works no matter what I type.

[quaint mantle]

After week of asking its sucesful

Huuge thanks

[quiet ice]

.equals

[quaint mantle]

oh wait

[quiet ice]

preferably .equalsIgnoreCase

[quaint mantle]

it isnt

[brittle lily]

Oh Thanks 🙂

[quaint mantle]

the red underline just didnt load so i thought it worked

[brittle lily]

It Worked!

thanks

[tardy delta]

Hopefully you are checking the args length

[quiet ice]

Are you sure that IJ is using maven?

[sterile grotto]

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

try to use this replace your spigot-snapshots

[quiet ice]

If so, are there any errors in the resolver? If so, you might need to reinstall you IDE if the error indicates that the certstore has blown up

[quaint mantle]

still

[sage merlin]

i have a hashmap here thats storing the ItemStack and a Particle but im getting a error on line 62 saying that its null

[brittle lily]

Guys Im making boss plugin now What Do you think of Boss's Health. What Should It Be

[quiet ice]

Try to install maven I guess and compile it via maven directly. If it works you IDE is messed up and you might need to either reimport the project or reinstall the IDE

[sage merlin]

Boss bar

[brittle lily]

I did 400

[quaint mantle]

i think thats good

[quiet ice]

?paste it is easier for us to analyze text really

[undone axle]

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

[sage merlin]

don't ask for suggestions ask questions with your code

[brittle lily]

Oh Okay

[sterile grotto]

have you checked your initialisation of the Hashmap object

[brittle lily]

Its also about my commands 🙂

But Okay

[midnight shore]

Hi, how can i listen for every single event in minecraft? like is there like a onEvent(Event e)?

[quiet ice]

Also I might need the full NPE @sage merlin

[sage merlin]

NPE?

[midnight shore]

null pointer exception

[quiet ice]

NullPointerException

[sage merlin]

oh

[quiet ice]

Not directly

There are a few libraries that facilitate this however

[sage merlin]

the only. problem here is that the HashMap gets initialized when the inventory is opened

[fallen thunder]

How I can check if the enable bungee option on the spigot server is on ?

[sage merlin]

and when they shoot its not gonna allow them unless they have opened their inventory

but im still getting a NPE

or nms Particle type null

[sterile grotto]

can you show us your log

[quiet ice]

Just use java 15+ and stop wasting our time

[quiet ice]

And no, the "but minecraft version X does not support Java 15" argument does NOT hold up

[left swift]

What is better redis client for java? I am considering jedis and redisson.

[quiet ice]

?stash

[undone axle]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/

[fallen thunder]

How I can check if the enable bungee option on the spigot server is on ?

[sterile token]

One option is to read the yaml

[sterile grotto]

It's seems very confusing without full code

[quiet ice]

Probably means that the particle is null

[sterile token]

Agree for sending errors/code its better to use ?paste

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[quiet ice]

You see, but people are afraid of text, so they need to waste our bandwidth and send text as images

[fallen thunder]

and we can't get settings ?

[sterile token]

Yes you can

[quiet ice]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

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

[quiet ice]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Server.Spigot.html#getConfig() is the best you can do I guess

[sterile token]

Oh i forget that

geol

Do you have experience with multi platform plugins (Bungee and Spigot) ?

[fallen thunder]

and all time the name of the spigot.yml is spigot.yml on paper, on mohist ?

[quiet ice]

No

[sterile token]

Also here we dont support paper

You should ask on their discord

[fallen thunder]

how ?

[quiet ice]

just use the method I linked to

[fallen thunder]

oh thx

I don't see sry

[quiet ice]

It is going to remove the need to locating the config file

That being said it might not be present on pureblooded bukkit implementations

[sterile token]

Because im trying to design a Boostrap class which allow me to use some commons method (getPlugin(), getManager(), etc) and no matter if im using bungeecord or spigot. What do you recommend?

[quiet ice]

For some things you can use wrapper objects that delegate the calls

[fallen thunder]

how I get the spigot object ?

[sterile token]

Only can be done if you are using Spigot jars of course

[quiet ice]

Bukkit.getServer().spigot()

[sterile token]

Geol

[quiet ice]

Otherwise going fully procedural (i.e. abusing the special status of Object) will work but you know the cost of doing that

[fallen thunder]

Wow its powered I search that since 20 min thx (I just put all time Spigot XD)

[sterile token]

Because for example if i add Boostrap to a constructor as an argument and do: boostrap.getPlugin() then i cannot access to all the methods it has

Do i explain?

That my issue

[quiet ice]

I think I understand you but I think it is better if you were more specific there

[sterile token]

Let me do a code of what i want specific

So it better to ask

[quiet ice]

Ideally it'd be best if you share what you have tried (or what you already have)

[sterile token]

Yhes that what i will do

Boostrap class:

public interface Boostrap<T> {

    void onEnable();

    void onDisable();

    T getBoostrap();
}

Different boostraps (An example of one):

public interface BungeeBoostrap {

    Plugin getPlugin();

    PluginManager getManager();
}

And im stuck there

[quiet ice]

ideally you'd not want to expose the bungee or bukkit side of things at all

So wrap every single method call

[sterile token]

My idea is to be able only to register commands, listeners from bungee and spigot

But them im stuck how to do the implementation

I will be really thankfull if you help me

[quiet ice]

One way would be to have something like

public interface Environment<P, M> {
    public P getPlugin();
    public M getPluginManager();
}

public interface BukkitEnv extends Environment<Plugin, PluginManager> {
}

public interface Bootstrap<E extends Environment<?, ?>> {
     public E getEnvironment();
}

public abstract class BukkitPlugin implements Bootstrap<BukkitEnv> extends JavaPlugin {
// Some shit
}

And so on

[sterile token]

Oh ok

A bit mess

But yeah i can understand better

[left swift]

When I'm using my plugin main class instance and fields / methods in it, should I do e.g. Main.getInstance().methodHere() or should I make that method public static too and use it like Main.methodHere()?

[quiet ice]

but really exposing the bukkit/bungee datatypes outside of explicit casts is pretty much the opposite of multiplattform

[sterile token]

Only the getInstance should be static

[left swift]

ok! thank you!

[quiet ice]

JavaPlugin.getPlugin(Main.class)

[sterile token]

So that code would be the correct or not?

[sterile token]

Why? Just on main class set main instance = this;

[quiet ice]

No static fields :)

So your code example can fix me issue?

And really thanks

[quiet ice]

It really depends on what you are aiming for

[left swift]

why should I use that instead of static instance?

[sterile token]

My idea is to do a unified library for doing plugins no matter if bungee or spigot

[indigo iron]

https://paste.md-5.net/ekuseludab.java
can someone help me please with changing the lore

[quiet ice]

Well it basically does the same thing and is more convenient while you can still say that you did not perform static abuse

[quiet ice]

You see the notion of library is already vague enough to allow too much wiggle room there

[sterile token]

You can do:

declare: MainClassName instance;
onEnable: instance = this
getter: getInstance() return instance

[quiet ice]

Is it just some utility methods? A while bukkit api rewrite (more or less) or something else

Because the way one should behave changes drastically depending on the type

Now that I think about it the whole "Bootstrap" system you want to have is a bit counterintuitive considering JavaPlugin.getPlugin exists and bungee probably has something similar

[warm saddle]

how would I get a Player object that has been defined in a different public class into my event listener?

i basically define a player in a class, then I need to check if the attacker from an EntityDamageByEntityEvent is the player that was defined in the other class?

The players name is also in a hashmap in the same class the player got defined in

then null check

[desert tinsel]

can i set the blockType to an itemstack?

[ivory sleet]

or map the optional type

[desert tinsel]

like: ```java
location.getBlock().setType(asdasd);

and asdasd is an itemstack

and asdasd is an itemstack with a playerhead with textures

[trail pilot]

what you mean about that?

Not that way at least

Did anybody use redis client (jedis) with gradle kts?

[quiet ice]

as in use it within the buildscript or what?

[left swift]

Yes, I mean i added to dependencies that line compileOnly("redis.clients:jedis:4.2.2"), but I have classnotfoundexception

I don't know the gradle very well, so I don't know if I typed it correctly too

[quiet ice]

You need to add it in the plugin dependency block

But why the hell do you need a database for building a java project?

[left swift]

publish / subscribe

to communication between servers

[echo basalt]

my man needs redis, a common dependency

[sterile token]

Why geol?

[quiet ice]

But not for building java packages!

[echo basalt]

you're getting NoClassDefFoundException because you added redis as a dependency, but redis' implementation isn't present on the server

[quiet ice]

Sir, he wants to use it to build it, not to run the server with

Otherwise they would use implementation instead of compileOnly

As well as using the gradle shadow plugin

[echo basalt]

yeah he wants to shade redis because spigot doesn't include it

what's the problem with that

[quiet ice]

Well I just want to be pedantric, okay

I hate publishing updates

If everyone knew how to compile from source everything would be much easier. Sigh

[sterile token]

Geol

What issue do you have?

[quiet ice]

Just a chronic depletion of motivation

... and bukkitdev is down

[compact haven]

instead of uploading a plugin, upload an updater that pulls source from github and compiles it 😏

[tacit thunder]

Hey, I just recently picked up plugins and am trying to create a button that will teleport players upwards or downwards. It's basically an elevator button and I wanted to add a custom data or some form of identification for the button, like "elev_button". I don't know how to do that however, since if you name a block something and then place it down, the edited data is lost. Anyone got tips?

Oh I tried using datapacks but I ran into multiple problems when trying to code this lol

[compact haven]

perhaps you can also make a CD workflow that automatically publishes releases to bukkitdev and spigot

so then you just write a commit message which automatically pushes to your resource distributor

[quiet ice]

I probably could

[compact haven]

thats actually something I'd be interested in looking into

@worldly ingot you're very amazing would you tell me if it's against Spigot TOS to use their endpoint to publish an update with CD

[glass mauve]

can I give a block data via PDCs, that will stay after placing and picking the block up again

[worldly ingot]

I don't think we have an endpoint for uploads on Spigot

At least not to my knowledge

[left swift]

ok, so probably i have problem with it, I've never used shadow plugin with gradle

[compact haven]

I mean there has to be something that allows users to upload, or else how does the frontend do it

[sterile token]

Yeah i think the same as you

Maybe they use websocket for uploading files

[compact haven]

so it seems it does

[mortal hare]

does any of you know what kind of inventories are nameable serverside?

I know few, like chest or furnace

but is there any list i can view instead of painfully testing it myself

im lazy

i found those containers which are renameable:

Enchantment Table,
Furnace,
Brewing Stand,
Dropper,
Hopper, and
Dispenser.
Chest,
Trapped Chest,
Smoker

anything to add?

why tf Loom is not renameable while Smoker is

Mojang pls fix

[chrome beacon]

Hm didn't expect Enchanting Tables to be renameable

Otherwise it makes sense

Why does a log filter out everything for the console, it logs out everything once its passed through a filter, i know im returning it as Filter.Result.NEUTRAL, but once this is inside the server it stops every log entirely

[dapper harness]

Hello, I'm trying to make a random teleport plugin but when the range is big and the selected random chunk is not generated yet it creates huge amount of lag for everyone on the server, how can I prevent that ?

[round finch]

preload?

cooldown

[dapper harness]

Because I'm trying to check if the location is safe so I need to generate the chunk and it freezes the server for several seconds each time someone rtps

Yes but how do I do that?

I didn't think generating a chunk and check if it's safe would take that long

[brave trellis]

bump

[tall dragon]

generating a single chunk should not generate much lag to be honest, but when the player is teleported all chunks in his view distance will also need generating. so, you could make the player wait like 5 seconds and use those 5 seconds to generate the needed chunks. but not all at once obviously. spread it out over those 5 seconds.

i would for example generate only the selected chunk. check if its safe, the continue to generate X amount of chunks in X radius around the chosen chunk.

[dapper harness]

I already do that, I chose a random location, check if the location is lava and if it's not lava the player is teleported 5 seconds later

[tall dragon]

do you make sure the chunks are generated gradually

instead of all at once

[dapper harness]

But the thing is when I do the command the server lags a lot when trying to check if the location is saty

The lag is not when the player is teleported it's when trying to check safety

[rugged cargo]

someone mentioned changing the max itemstack size via the material, but int maxStack is immutable. I've tried using reflection (which may or may not be the right approach), and got java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: modifiers. any tips?

[tall dragon]

ok can we see your code for this?

[ivory sleet]

unsafe

altho

idk maybe its inferred

in which it wont be easy even w/ unsafe

[round finch]

wait wait it possible to pass the ItemStack limt?

🤔

[rugged cargo]

im trying to reduce the stack limit, so im not sure. though it should be similar

[ivory sleet]

reduce?

I mean just decrement the amount?

[rugged cargo]

yeah, make it to where only one of my item can reside in a slot

[tall dragon]

that can be made through other means

[rugged cargo]

ive seen the approach of giving each item unique nbt but im not sure

[ivory sleet]

technically just use sth like pdc for that

[tall dragon]

im pretty sure you can apply unique nbt

[ivory sleet]

yeah

do that

changing the hardcoded max amount would fuck the api

[rugged cargo]

oh, I see

[round finch]

i were thinking code a stacking plugin?

[rugged cargo]

so by trying to change the max stacksize, i would screw over a bunch of other things?

[ivory sleet]

well lets say you do reflectively change it in Items.java from nms

then yeah

[round finch]

if slot 1 is at certain amount

[dapper harness]

        if(System.currentTimeMillis()<lastRtpCommand+5*1000) {
            getBukkitPlayer().sendMessage("§cDo not spam this command.");
            return;
        }
        lastRtpCommand = System.currentTimeMillis();
        if(!canRtp()) {
            getBukkitPlayer().sendMessage("§cYou have to wait "+Main.getTimeLeft(lastRtp+Main.rtpDelay-System.currentTimeMillis())+" before being able to rtp again.");
            return;
        }
        Location loc;
        do {
            loc = new Location(Bukkit.getWorld("world"), Main.random.nextInt(Main.rtpMaxDistance*2)-Main.rtpMaxDistance+0.5, 100, Main.random.nextInt(Main.rtpMaxDistance*2)-Main.rtpMaxDistance+0.5);
            loc.setY(loc.getWorld().getHighestBlockYAt(loc));
        }
        while(!Main.isSafe(loc));
        new TeleportRequest(this, loc, TeleportType.RTP);
    }

    public static boolean isSafe(Location loc) {
        int x = loc.getBlockX();
        int y = loc.getBlockY();
        int z = loc.getBlockZ();
        return !(badBlocks.contains(loc.getBlock().getType()) || badBlocks.contains(loc.getWorld().getBlockAt(x,y+1,z).getType()));
    }

[rugged cargo]

I was trying to change it for the Material.book instance, but still. i guess that would cause issues

ill just apply a random integer to them via nbt and hope that i get unique numbers each time

[tall dragon]

you are locking the main thread with that while loop

[round finch]

Oh no

that explains lag

[rugged cargo]

that'll cause major issues. lol.

[dapper harness]

it would be weird because like 99.99% of the time the location is safe and the while loop just executes once

[ivory sleet]

not so sure 'bout that

[rugged cargo]

could be a problem with isSafe then?

[round finch]

i dont think using Main thread is a good idea

[ivory sleet]

its inevitable

[tall dragon]

you need it for generating chunks

[ivory sleet]

but you probably ought to determine a threshold

[dapper harness]

I'm not sure I understand what should I change ?

[ivory sleet]

tldr, but from what I understand that code snippet causes some lag right?

[dapper harness]

yes

[ivory sleet]

well idk what happens in canRtp(), but you probably want to make sure that while look can iterate a maximum of x iterations

[granite beacon]

Conclure did you ever figure out that projectile thing from the other day?

[ivory sleet]

as there's no upperbound as of now

thus causing the plausibility of a million iterations if you're unlucky

[ivory sleet]

a bit, but like minecrafts speed and gravity is a bit random

[prisma needle]

Hide players from user count?

[ivory sleet]

or well, extremely random and arbitrary

[granite beacon]

Was it somewhat accurate because that's all I need

Not looking for perfection

[tall dragon]

@dapper harness if you develop for paper. you could generate a chunk async

but idk if thats the case

[ivory sleet]

nope

[dapper harness]

canRtp just checks a variable it's a cooldown and no the while only executes once

[ivory sleet]

i didnt get that far as to being able to call it close

[granite beacon]

Oh alright. Thanks either way

[dapper harness]

I do but I don't know how, what I would like to do is just select random location, generate / load the selected chunk and once it is generated check if it's safe but idk how to wait for the chunk to load without locking the entire main thread

[tall dragon]

using a future

[ivory sleet]

teleportAsync provides a CompletableFuture

so chain a callback

[tall dragon]

CompletableFuture<Chunk> chunk = PaperLib.getChunkAtAsync(loc);
            chunk.thenAccept(result -> {

}

for example

[ivory sleet]

oh that too

and then in case you wanna go over to the server thread again, Server/Bukkit::getScheduler would be the only option

[foggy fiber]

How do I update a lodestone compass' location to a player's location constantly

Even player.updateInventory() doesn't update the compass to the new location after setting its metadata

    @EventHandler
    fun onPlayerMove(event: PlayerMoveEvent) {
        if (event.player == runner) {
            for (entry in playerTrackers) {
                val meta = entry.value.itemMeta as CompassMeta
                meta.lodestone = runner.location
                entry.value.itemMeta = meta
                entry.key.updateInventory()
            }
        }
    }```

this is the code im using to do this

[quaint mantle]

kotlin 🤢

[quaint mantle]

hi babe

[foggy fiber]

What's wrong with it?

[quaint mantle]

ugly

[foggy fiber]

Would you prefer I write this?```java
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent e) {
if (event.player.equals(runner)) {
for (Player player : playerTrackers.values()) {
ItemStack stack = playerTrackers.get(player);
CompassMeta meta = (CompassMeta) stack.getItemMeta();
meta.setLodestone(runner.getLocation());
stack.setItemMeta(meta);
player.updateInventory();
}
}
}

How exactly is this less ugly

It's overly verbose

Anyway, I'd appreciate an actual answer to the question if you're here to judge, otherwise don't waste my time

[summer scroll]

use maven dependency and use system as the scope.

[river oracle]

no thats a really bad practice I solved it already by installing the dependency into my m2 which is a better practice

[summer scroll]

i would use a foreach loop assuming playerTrackers is a Map

[foggy fiber]

That's not the issue

The problem is that they don't update except for the first time when adding it to the inventory

[quaint mantle]

don't you have to set the item in the players inventory?

or am I thinking of something else?

[summer scroll]

oh, i thought you was asking something like that

[foggy fiber]

Why? I already have the ItemStack

I figured I could just update the existing stack

[quaint mantle]

Itemstacked obtained from a players inventory is cloned

atleast I think so?

[foggy fiber]

Ah, I figured that could be the case. The thing I'm trying to avoid is edge cases failing (two compasses for example)

[summer scroll]

yes i know, i use the local repository too

[quaint mantle]

ah

[foggy fiber]

Every example I see replaces every compass with the retargeted compass or changes the global compass target

Which is pretty bad imo

Not having ItemStack UUIDs kind of hurts

Good at Java/Kotlin, not good at Spigot, so I may be missing something simple here

[quaint mantle]

guess you could try and track where the compass is in the inventory

[foggy fiber]

And update it when they move it?

[quaint mantle]

InventoryClickEvent

[summer scroll]

pdc

[foggy fiber]

Is there a way to replace the item in the inventory without triggering an animation

[quaint mantle]

inventory.setItem?

[summer scroll]

no

[quaint mantle]

oh does it do that in later versions?

[summer scroll]

i have this issue before

[foggy fiber]

Maybe I need to use NMS

[summer scroll]

well you can try to use packet interceptor

[quaint mantle]

the bukkit api just calls nms

it's probs client side

[summer scroll]

yeah client side

[foggy fiber]

ugh

maybe I should just make it update when you right click it or something

lol

the main constraint I have here is vanilla compasses need to retain functionality, so I think that's a good compromise

it's for a custom manhunt plugin I'm writing

[inner lintel]

Just noticed wrong chat lol sorry

Ok let me just spit it out, been typing this for about 3 different versions, ok so i want to create a custom configuration, like message.yml but i know the usual way to set it up wont let you add comments like you can with the default config.yml, any way to set up custom configurations that way by creating the file and commenting it that way, i search in stackoverflow, all over YouTube, all over github like bro why isn’t there any files bout this at this point ive literally been thinking of decompiling a plugin and just checking out the code cause if others can do it why can’t i find out a way to do it

[noble lantern]

In reguards to your question

idk what you were googling

but there is a guide on spigot for custom configs

[river oracle]

I have a util for custom configs if you want it

preserves comments etc

[inner lintel]

Yes yes yes

[river oracle]

pretty basic

[inner lintel]

I want it also the spigot docs

[noble lantern]

Saving using default yaml lib also saves comments

since gson can serialize too

[inner lintel]

U a god for this thank u so much I’ve been struggling with this for a while

[river oracle]

this should work fine and you can just pass around the util or add a getter in your main class

[crisp steeple]

itemstack doesnt have any transient fields so it keeps trying to serialize things it shouldnt

[river oracle]

I hate the default spigot getConfig() crap

[inner lintel]

Same

[river oracle]

have never used it

[inner lintel]

So do i

[crisp steeple]

something about an itemframe and im sure theres a lot more

[noble lantern]

ahhh i see

hmm

i know somewhere in spigot source code theyres serialization for ItemStack -> FileConfiguration or YamlConfiguration

might be of help somehow

[crisp steeple]

using the #serialize method kind of worked, but the problem it cant deserialize meta due to it not actually being an instance of ItemMeta

[river oracle]

for ItemStacks I just translate in a readable format too and from an item stack

that way an owner could edit item stacks in the config too

i prefer to just use the commands I have setup in my lib though /retrieve and /send to send and retrieve items from the configuration file

[noble lantern]

yeah you would just have to basically format the json file yourself which in all honestly isnt that hard

[river oracle]

I use yaml for this as imo its more readable and i'm tryna give an option for if you want to do it ingame or in the configs

[noble lantern]

i think hes saving it to save it through a restart or if it ever dissappears

[crisp steeple]

cant use yaml as its getting stored in a database as part of a players inventory

[river oracle]

Ahhh

[noble lantern]

what kind of database

[crisp steeple]

mysql

[river oracle]

Oof

[noble lantern]

you could

do something fucking ugly

but might work

[crisp steeple]

i doubt it

because even if i could get yaml in it

[quaint mantle]

Don’t know if this is the right place to ask for help on plugins I apologize if it’s not but anyone familiar with how to set an area for players to use shopkeeper plug-in

[crisp steeple]

the one thing that actually did work reliably was the bukkitobjectoutput method

[noble lantern]

Serialize itemstack to yaml configuration -> translate it to raw yaml -> save as string in mysql

Would be stupid as shit though, better off more or less looking into something better

[crisp steeple]

but then the problem was that in my api server it cant deserialize it because spigot acts weird when theres no minecraft serfver

[crisp steeple]

same problem as before, cant deserialize it in api server

[noble lantern]

you can just like new YamlConfiguration().setItemStack() or something i dont remember the exact method one moment

[crisp steeple]

ik that but itemstacks dont work at all when theres no minecraft server running

[noble lantern]

ie getting from a MemorySection or declaring them at all?

[crisp steeple]

it would also be very strange to have all the api in json except for the inventory being in yaml

[noble lantern]

indeed it would be, more or less a last resort suggestion

[crisp steeple]

what i have right now

[noble lantern]

basically a json field that stores the yaml config, its hacky but it would work nonetheless

You probably better off looking at the code behind something like this https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/configuration/ConfigurationSection.html#getItemStack(java.lang.String,org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack)

I beileve to set an ItemStack to config you just use set(string object) and theyres likely code on how they serialize it there, unless they just call ItemStack.serialize() then were in the same boat as before

Your likely better off writing your own quick serializer, wouldnt take that long either, just store name, material, amount, loop through PDT & NBT and store them under seperate values

[crisp steeple]

its so close to working except for the fact it doesnt directly add the itemmeta to the itemstack

[crisp steeple]

yeah, im probably going to end up just making my own

only problem is probably going to be nbt

[noble lantern]

you could use something like NBTApi if you dont wanna deal with it directly

handles all major versions down to 1.8.9

seems like all spigot does is run through and store the item meta directly but now you have to look for ItemMeta's serialize() method

[crisp steeple]

the serialization part works fine

i have all of the info i need by the time its there for deserialization

the only problem is that in the ItemStack.deserialize() function assumes it was serialized in yaml, and thus the meta part wont actually be an instance of ItemMeta

[noble lantern]

wild question

have you tried serializing ItemMeta to gson instead of the ItemStack

[crisp steeple]

i was thinking that

but then i either have to store both the itemstack and meta which is really inefficient

or make my own item system which wouldnt be that bad

i would have to check though if serializing meta even works though

[noble lantern]

well you would store a ItemStack object that has field type amount meta_data other_things

[noble lantern]

it might since its an interface and not an actual object like ItemStack

[crisp steeple]

thats probably what ill end up doing

will have to make own methods of storing the stuff though

for type and amount ... or whatever

[noble lantern]

yeah but would be stupidly simple, just 2 lines of code for it

well technically 4 for both methods

[crisp steeple]

yea lol

[noble lantern]

its what spigot does

[crisp steeple]

2 lines?

[noble lantern]

just run through each item and manually setting them

[crisp steeple]

wouldnt you have to create a JsonObject directly

and then set the fields of material and such

[noble lantern]

You could create your own SerializableItemStack class for gson parsing

[crisp steeple]

i suppose

[noble lantern]

definatly do check if ItemMeta is able to be parsed through gson first before going through all that ofc

[crisp steeple]

yea

[noble lantern]

if its not youll have to loop through everything in item meta which would be big sad

[crisp steeple]

also what is the implementation of itemmeta?

i couldnt find it but i was trying to to see how it did custom nbt tags

[noble lantern]

Material class handles actually creating ItemMeta so i assume NBT is done somewhere in that

seems like its doing things with reflection though when looked, so that part might be more complex

[crisp steeple]

interesting

well ill just see what happens when trying to serialize it

[noble lantern]

wait no

im wrong sorry i was thinking of MaterialData

Bukkits ItemFactory handles that

[quaint mantle]

is sneakythrows just runtime exceptions for normal exceptions?

[crisp steeple]

checked exceptions

[noble lantern]

sneakythrows

[crisp steeple]

sneaky

[noble lantern]

super sneaky

the sneakiest

[crisp steeple]

😳

indeed it is

[noble lantern]

try it with NB data appl- oh wait

try PDT

[crisp steeple]

1.8.8 is horrible

i mean

[noble lantern]

oh my

[crisp steeple]

if itemmeta is working

i dont really see a problem

[noble lantern]

okay nevermind you dont need to worry about pdt

PDT stores plugin instances, cant remember if they store as strings in NameSpaced values though but i think they do

So I'm not entirely sure how serializing PDT values to Gson would work, but if you're on an older version prolly don't gotta worry about it

[crisp steeple]

yea pdt doesnt exist here

[noble lantern]

bada bing bada boom

actually glad i figured this out too cause now i can use it >: )

[crisp steeple]

gg

dear me

really need to find what the itemmeta implementation is

found it but its not a public class 🙃

[worn tundra]

Spigot has source code?

https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/spigot/repos/craftbukkit/browse

[noble lantern]

Look into Bukkit's ItemFactory class

[crisp steeple]

yea i found it

CraftMetaItem

[noble lantern]

Nah its kind of just existed for a while with no codebase

[crisp steeple]

theres a thing in it called serializablemeta that seems useful

[noble lantern]

little known fact spigot doesnt actually have code, neither does craftbukkit

[crisp steeple]

yep

[noble lantern]

Im cooking atm so cant check that sry, can probably just ctrl + click methods till you find something useful from it

[crisp steeple]

yeah that's what im doing

very useful

[torpid copper]

when i compile my spigot plugin using maven to a jar, my server cant find the plugin.yml even though it is in the .jar. how do i change how it packages it? using vscode btw

[mortal hare]

is there any difference in terms of resource packs between smoker, furnace and a blast furnace

do they all have separate textures for eac

or they all use generic furnace ones

[golden kelp]

Seperate

[inner lintel]

Just set it up, this is literally exactly what I’ve wanted and been looking for months, u are the best dude

[mortal hare]

what about chests, shulker boxes and barrels?

[golden kelp]

I think they are on their own as well

As they are pretty different in game so...

[mortal hare]

well shulker boxes have separate inventory type id, regarding the serverside view

but i can't see barrel there

https://wiki.vg/Inventory

[golden kelp]

Barrel is just a more thicc chest

[mortal hare]

but still it should be separate due to resource packs.

since its a different block which can hold items

[golden kelp]

Why are those related

[wicked totem]

anyone know what i should put in the commented section? ive tried to remove the item is a bunch of different ways but its none have worked so far

[delicate lynx]

are you wanting to remove all tridents

[wicked totem]

itll only end up being 1 but it can be all

[rugged cargo]

maybe search for the slot its in, then set that slot to Air?

Can someone help me? The server always hangs for me. As soon as I pack my own plugin in

[torpid copper]

check your if/while loops for infinite

[thin pike]

ProxyServer.getInstance().getScheduler().schedule(this, new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
if (intege == 0) {
for (ProxiedPlayer all : ProxyServer.getInstance().getPlayers()) {
all.sendMessage(" ");
all.sendMessage(" §7Unsere §aTeamSpeak§7 IP:");
all.sendMessage(" §aPixelerlebnis.net.de");
all.sendMessage(" ");
}
}
}
}, 0L, 5L, TimeUnit.MINUTES);

My Plugin send Automatically this message in 5 Minutes

[golden kelp]

Can't u just broadcast

Without looping

[fierce spear]

hello I just started a project and I'm getting this weird error

Cannot resolve method 'setInvisible' in 'EntityArmorStand'

[noble lantern]

Are you sure the TimeUnit thing is actually functional

it could be running that every 5 ticks, instead of minutes

[fierce spear]

EntityArmorStand stand = new EntityArmorStand(((CraftWorld)p.getWorld()).getHandle().getMinecraftWorld(), pos.getX(), pos.getY() + offset, pos.getZ());
stand.setInvisible(true);
stand.setCustomName(pl.getName());
stand.setCustomNameVisible(true);
stand.setMarker(true);

[noble lantern]

thats a odd way for a runnable to be initialized though, never seen someone use schedule before

[noble lantern]

sec

[golden kelp]

EntityArmorStand might not have that method?

[fierce spear]

I'm pretty sure it does

well not mine apparently

but should have

import net.minecraft.world.entity.decoration.EntityArmorStand;

[noble lantern]

uhm is that a nms thing?

I dont see EntityArmorStand as a class in javadocs

normally its just ArmorStand

[fierce spear]

yup

it is

[crisp steeple]

spent forever making this https://paste.md-5.net/famikeroxi.java but i give up now
runs into the same problem as before where it serializes fine but doesnt have proper typing for deserialization

tomorrow ill just bite the bullet and make my own item serialization system

[noble lantern]

The NMS methods may not inherit that trait, however why use NMS for this? As these are vanilla methods you can use, unless your on an ancient version

Also that import from NMS isnt a real type of LivingEntity, try looking into CraftArmorStand if you really wanna use NMS

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/ArmorStand.html

[noble lantern]

i may look into it here soon

and see what i can manage to slam together

[crisp steeple]

gl

[fierce spear]

I'm 1.18.2

[noble lantern]

I would say just use the ArmorStand class then, as it provides anything you need, to making it mini to moving arms and legs, pretty much anything as well as everything from LivingEntity

[torpid copper]

my plugin still wont load. spigot says that it is missing plugin.yml but it is in the jar in the rources as specified on the spigot documentation. any advice?

[noble lantern]

have you unzipped your jar

and check if its in there

are you using maven?

[torpid copper]

yes i have

i am using maven

[noble lantern]

where was it inside the jar?

[fierce spear]

Let me try

[noble lantern]

send pom

oops

[noble lantern]

Yeah it needs to be in the root of your jar

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[torpid copper]

bookmarked

how can i change the behavior of the maven package?

[visual tide]

but don't use it for automated anticheat logs cough

[noble lantern]

Can you send the pom.xml in that paste link

hard to read in just discord text

[fierce spear]

it works but I cant get data watcher from ArmorStand

DataWatcher watcher = stand.getDataWatcher();
