https://www.wiki.vg/Protocol

cross-reference it with the NMS packet

and wrap it up with ProtocolLib

[tepid ore]

Wait no I'm dum again, I read your message wrong. My bad

[quaint mantle]

think they removed the table

for each packet

i cant find it on the site

[tepid ore]

Use org.bukkit.block.Block maybe?

[lavish folio]

yes

[quaint mantle]

    @EventHandler
    public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();

        if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){
            Block block = event.getClickedBlock();
            if(block.getType() == Material.DIAMOND){
                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "You mined a " + ChatColor.AQUA + "DIAMOND" + ChatColor.GRAY + " block.");
            }
        }

    }

Why does it nothing when I click on a diamond block?

[tepid ore]

Material.DIAMOND_BLOCK

:>

[quaint mantle]

oh

my bad

:/

[tepid ore]

lol 🙂

[quaint mantle]

yay

ty

[tepid ore]

Np :>

[quaint mantle]

Can I also make an event when you click on a diamond block nothing happens until you have a shear in your hand called "name" or so?

[tepid ore]

Ofc?

[quaint mantle]

How can I do that?

[lavish folio]

all imports is good

[tepid ore]

Item.getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Whatever");

[quaint mantle]

tyy

Im new to java so dont mind

[tepid ore]

Though, you might need to do "Whatever".equals(ChatColor.stripColor(Item.getItemMeta().getDisplayName()))". Idk if chat colors are important in .equals

[quaint mantle]

    public void showGlow(Player player, Entity target) {
        PacketContainer packet = new PacketContainer(PacketType.Play.Server.ENTITY_METADATA);
        packet.getIntegers().write(0, target.getEntityId());
        WrappedDataWatcher watcher = new WrappedDataWatcher(player);
        watcher.setObject(new WrappedDataWatcher.WrappedDataWatcherObject(0, WrappedDataWatcher.Registry.get(Byte.class)), (byte) 0x40); //glow
        try {
            ProtocolLibrary.getProtocolManager().sendServerPacket(player, packet);
        } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

@echo basalt

i got this much

[tepid ore]

It's fine 🙂

[quaint mantle]

errors out

[quaint mantle]

hm oke

[tepid ore]

👍

[quaint mantle]

                Item.getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Orange");

Why does it says cannot resolve "getItemMeta"

[safe notch]

Item is a class

[tepid ore]

Is Item an ItemStack instance

[quaint mantle]

huh

[safe notch]

Name it to “item” and try

[quaint mantle]

I imported Item

[safe notch]

No Item is an entity class

[tepid ore]

You need to do player.getInventory().getItem(slot).getItemMeta() if you haven't

[quaint mantle]

oh

:p

[tepid ore]

.getItemMeta() is from the ItemStack class, not Item interface

[safe notch]

ye

[tardy delta]

Item is an itemstack being dropped

[tepid ore]

It is the entity representation of it ye ^

[quaint mantle]

        if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){
            Block block = event.getClickedBlock();
            if(block.getType() == Material.DIAMOND_BLOCK){
                player.getInventory().getItemInHand().getItemMeta();
                    Item.getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Orange");
                        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "You mined a " + ChatColor.AQUA + "DIAMOND" + ChatColor.GRAY + " block.");

Still "getItemMeta" cannot resolved

[tepid ore]

player.getInventory().getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Orange")

[quaint mantle]

ohw

[tepid ore]

This player.getInventory().getItemInHand().getItemMeta(); just gets the item meta, and does nothing with it

[quaint mantle]

Ohh oke

[tardy delta]

item in main hand might be null so null check that

[tepid ore]

^

[quaint mantle]

what?

[tepid ore]

Also, do getItemInMainHand() instead

[tardy delta]

if player.getInventory().getItemInHand() is null

[tepid ore]

Wait

No

It can't be

The type can be air tho

Check if getItemMeta() is null

[quaint mantle]

so also make an else?

[eternal oxide]

getItemMeta() can be null, check using hasItemMeta()

[tardy delta]

i had slots where the itemstack was null

[quaint mantle]

i am new to java so i dont know what you mean, sorry :/

[eternal oxide]

thats only for Inventory contents

[tardy delta]

or are empty slots now returning a new ItemStack(Air)?

mmh

[eternal oxide]

Not all ItemStacks have ItemMeta

[tepid ore]

if (event.getAction() != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK || event.getClickedBlock().getType() != Material.DIAMOND_BLOCK
    || event.getItem() == null || !event.getItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Orange"))
  return;```

[eternal oxide]

calling getItemMeta() can return null

[arctic moth]

um

[quaint mantle]

literally "null" in chat or what?

[arctic moth]

i cant even stop my server xD

its an exception generating new chunk smh

[tepid ore]

This @quaint mantle

[arctic moth]

but why would it generate

while stopping

[eternal oxide]

a null in java means no object. Your code will thrown a NullPointerException

[quaint mantle]

Can you explain to me what it means so I can learn more?

[quaint mantle]

ohhwww yea nothing is happening now with my code :p

so does that means it is null?

[tepid ore]

Not necessarily, if item is null and you do item.getItemMeta() for example, Java will print an error as you try to get the meta from an item that does not exist. So who's meta should it return if the item is null? Java does not know, and crashes

[tardy delta]

null safe languages 💟

[arctic moth]

i found an error preventing shutdown and none of the stacktrace leads to my plugin

is that a bug

it has smth to do with aquifier gen

[quaint mantle]

                player.getInventory().getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Orange");
                
                        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "You mined a " + ChatColor.AQUA + "DIAMOND" + ChatColor.GRAY + " block.");

So I got this now, but every block called Orange get the message. How can I make an else statement here?

[tepid ore]

That is kind of a pain tho imo, since your code works but does not do what you want it to...

[tepid ore]

What do you mean?

Write what you want with words :>

[arctic moth]

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

is this a spigot bug

actually i think its in mc itself

[quaint mantle]

Can I like do when a shear called "Orange" can only activate the message?

[tepid ore]

The frick Index 117440804 out of bounds for length 315

[arctic moth]

no stack trace to spigot either

[arctic moth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

not my code

[tepid ore]

You need to test the material of the held item, and the display name of the item

item.getType() and item.getItemMeta().getDisplayName()

[quaint mantle]

and how do I check if the item is a shear?

[tepid ore]

item.getType() == Material.SHEARS

[quaint mantle]

tyy

[tepid ore]

Np

[quaint mantle]

item.getType() == Material.SHEARS
    player.getInventory().getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Orange");

so I could do this?

nvm

I cant

[tepid ore]

player.getInventory().getItemInHand().getType() == Material.SHEARS && player.getInventory().getItemInHand().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Orange");

[quaint mantle]

Tysm 🙂

[tepid ore]

🙂

Though, it might be smart to store player.getInventory().getItemInHand() as a variable

ItemStack item = player.getInventory().getItemInHand();

[quaint mantle]

how do i do that?

[tepid ore]

So fast

[quaint mantle]

so every time when I use item it means player.getInventory().getItemInHand();?

[tepid ore]

Yes

[quaint mantle]

ah okay

[quaint mantle]

btw here, why do you use && on the end of the first line?

[tepid ore]

It means and

So if the material is shears AND the display name is orange

[quaint mantle]

ah okay

thats cool actually

[tepid ore]

&& = and, || = or

[quaint mantle]

okay

[tepid ore]

Java basics :>

Sry

[quaint mantle]

so you can see || as an else?

[tepid ore]

Yes

[quaint mantle]

okyyy

Thats cool to know

[tepid ore]

Essential

To know

[quaint mantle]

    @EventHandler
    public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        ItemStack item = player.getInventory().getItemInHand();

        if(event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK){
            Block block = event.getClickedBlock();
            if(block.getType() == Material.DIAMOND_BLOCK) {
                item.getType() == Material.SHEARS &&
                    item.getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Orange");
                        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "You mined a " + ChatColor.AQUA + "DIAMOND" + ChatColor.GRAY + " block.");


            }
        }

    }

So this is a good code?

[silver reef]

Hey there, I have been scrolling through alot of documents and forums to find more information about redstone dust.

My setup
I want to itterate a redstone signal from source to end. Where sometimes you power a block and sometimes the redstone powers something else or makes a turn.

My problem
What I am trying to find out is how to read the redstone dust shape. In debug mode (F3) you can somewhat see sides and directions. Altough I have no clue on how to get these values. block$getFace will only return to SELF.

tl;dr: I was wondering if there was a way to check the shape OR facing/direction of redstone dust. 1.8;)

[quiet ice]

?jd-s

[quiet ice]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/block/data/type/RedstoneWire.html#getFace(org.bukkit.block.BlockFace)

[arctic moth]

managed to make the main thread kill itself

[tardy delta]

lol

[crimson terrace]

damn, log4j?

[arctic moth]

yep i managed to get stack trace into log4j

all i did was force load a few chunks...

[crimson terrace]

I was more talking about the security vulnerabilities

[quaint mantle]

anyone here good with protoclib

protocolib

[arctic moth]

oh

[tardy delta]

how can you see if you still have that security vulnerability?

[crimson terrace]

I just straight dont use log4j since i heard of that vulnerability

[quiet ice]

It is probably the watchdog

[silver reef]

Still points "Self"

as facing

[quiet ice]

Cannot

[arctic moth]

i didnt either

[quiet ice]

Did you even use my method?

[arctic moth]

its part of the server

[silver reef]

Didnt see any of what you send

[arctic moth]

nope

wait are u talking to me

[quiet ice]

no

[tepid ore]

Uhh, not really. You have forgotten a few parenthesis etc. I would have done something like this

@EventHandler
public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
  Player player = event.getPlayer();
  ItemStack item = player.getInventory().getItemInMainHand();

  if (event.getAction() != Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK || event.getClickedBlock().getType() != Material.DIAMOND_BLOCK
      || item.getType() != Material.SHEARS || !item.getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Orange"))
    return;
            
   player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "You mined a " + ChatColor.AQUA + "DIAMOND" + ChatColor.GRAY + " block.");
}``` What this does is that it test the following: `If you didn't click a block OR the clicked block isn't a diamond block OR the item in your hand isn't shears OR if the shears' display name isn't Orange`, then return. Aka, if something is wrong, return and do nothing. However, if all is good, send the player a message.

[silver reef]

I cannot implement your method

RedstoneWire doesnt have alot to offer it seems

[tardy delta]

i can offer you infinite power

[waxen plinth]

What version are you using

[tepid ore]

1.8

It is in their message

[waxen plinth]

💀

[tepid ore]

Yeah...

[waxen plinth]

Well there's your issue dude

[silver reef]

i know where it is, thats why im asking

doing

[waxen plinth]

Stop using a version that's 8 years old

[tepid ore]

^

[waxen plinth]

Or stop complaining about not having access to new API

Can't have it both ways

[tepid ore]

Why are you even on 1.8?

[tardy delta]

for the pvp props

[quaint mantle]

Some pvp servers are good for 1.8

[tepid ore]

I mean, there are plugins for that?

If you really want it

[waxen plinth]

On 1.8 I believe redstone wire connections are computed, not stored

[silver reef]

I didnt complain

[tepid ore]

.

Sort of

:>

[silver reef]

nah

[tardy delta]

lol

[waxen plinth]

Honestly we should just not allow people to ask for help for 1.8

[silver reef]

it was a response

[waxen plinth]

It is 8 years old and no longer supported

[silver reef]

ah yes, stackoverflow also limits to 1.8+

would be nice to see this place change to it

[tepid ore]

Upgrade

[waxen plinth]

Right because it's frustrating trying to help people using extremely outdated versions

[quaint mantle]

how do you send packets in 1.18.2

without protoclib

[tepid ore]

Idk, please tell me. I need it

[silver reef]

is it?

[tepid ore]

Kinda yeah

[waxen plinth]

Yes, very

[silver reef]

you should take a break from your screen, doesnt sound good worying about it 😉

[waxen plinth]

What a condescending reply

"I don't want to help people who are using a version that has been unsupported for years"
"Go touch grass"

💀

[silver reef]

just here to help

f

[waxen plinth]

No you're not lol

[crimson terrace]

you know what? even im gonna touch some grass rn, you both should too. chill out.

[silver reef]

no need to get all stackoverflow on me

[silver reef]

same, goodjob

[arctic moth]

how would i reset a chunk to the original terrain?

[waxen plinth]

Don't think there's a good way to do that anymore

[arctic moth]

rip

[crimson terrace]

you would probably have to keep a backup of the original terrain for each loaded chunk

[arctic moth]

bruh

[waxen plinth]

If there was a ChunkGenerator for the default vanilla generator it would work

But alas there is not

[tepid ore]

Why tho

[waxen plinth]

I dunno, the generator for the default terrain is just null

[tepid ore]

Isn't that, like, very useful

[waxen plinth]

Maybe open a feature request on the jira?

[tepid ore]

no

[waxen plinth]

ok

[arctic moth]

they obfuscate stuff anyways, no reason to lol

[tepid ore]

Does any one have a good obfuscator allowed in spigot plugins? Idk what classifies as "not too good obfuscating" as they write about on the website

[arctic moth]

i noticed that in my error thing tho it seemed to generate populators by chunk

lol

@tender shard was making one earlier

[quiet ice]

proguard is the most allowed obf

Anything beyond that isn't really allowed at this point

And even some proguard settings are not allowed for free plugins

[tepid ore]

Mm kay, thank you

[crimson terrace]

I dont need an obfuscator, I just write my code all in one class, thatll do it

[tepid ore]

Massive brain

[arctic moth]

one line

[tepid ore]

"Error on line 1"

[arctic moth]

i think there actually is a website smwhere that flattens scripts automatically

[crimson terrace]

imagine I did that on my 10k line plugin

[arctic moth]

dont remember the url tho

[tepid ore]

It would be fantastic, imagine updating that

[quaint mantle]

i swear making only ONE entity glow is impossible

[tepid ore]

private does nothing lol

[crimson terrace]

I would not

[quaint mantle]

why does mojang

[tepid ore]

Ahh, I see

[quaint mantle]

have to fuck shit up

every update

[arctic moth]

?

[crimson terrace]

?

not sure what you mean as I am able to do that easily

[quaint mantle]

one entity glow for one specific player?

[crimson terrace]

for one player?

[quaint mantle]

yes

[crimson terrace]

thats different

[quaint mantle]

i dont get this protocolib shit

why cant i just make the packet

sned it to player

[arctic moth]

cant find the website, should i make one?

[quaint mantle]

why they gotta make it difficult

[crimson terrace]

remind me, what website?

[quaint mantle]

@crimson terrace do u know how to use like vanilla packets

in 1.18.2

[crimson terrace]

sadly no. my plugins dont use packets yet

[quaint mantle]

fuk

does anyone

[arctic moth]

it was someone's github.io and it had a flattener for java, js, json, etc.

[crimson terrace]

just write a script which takes out all \n

[arctic moth]

lol k

also indents?

[crimson terrace]

especially those

[kindred valley]

what does only "return" do

while(true){
   if(case.equals("1") { 
       return;
   }
}``` Like this

[ivory sleet]

stops code execution within a void function

yeah

if case equals "1" then itd stop running the code in that function

[worldly ingot]

Well, that wouldn't compile because "case" is a keyword, but if it were any other word, yeah

[ivory sleet]

^

[kind hatch]

Depends on your checks. If it’s just null before any check, then the item is likely just air

Can you share your code?

[kindred valley]

difference between break?

[eternal night]

interact btw is called for both hands for stuff like right click

so if your offhand is null, you'd see that here

[kind hatch]

Stops a loop.

[kindred valley]

return does not?

[kind hatch]

It does, but it also has ends the method.

Break will just stop a loop and continue with code execution beneath it.

Return is the exit point for a method. So if you return in the middle of a loop. The loop will stop and the method will end.

[kindred valley]

can i use while loop in while loop

[kind hatch]

Yes, but you need to be careful with while loops.

[daring lark]

how could i check if argument in command is number?

[kind hatch]

Sorry, can you ?paste that. I’m on a phone.

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[kindred valley]

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

nvm about breaks

[kind hatch]

Just about to say

When dealing with while loops, change the value for the check.

[kindred valley]

i tried

if(choose == 1) {
   obs.startRecord();
   isEnded = false;
}```

[kind hatch]

Well that looks fine. Is it not being reached?

[kindred valley]

its spamming eternally

🙂

umm do i need to keep going or what

[kind hatch]

Oh, you are checking to if your value is false. Then setting it to false in your loop.

Hence it will never stop.

Set the values to true or invert the check.

[cyan compass]

Can addItem() add more then 1 item at once?

[kindred valley]

yes acutally i passed this phase , it breaks the loop

[cyan compass]

Or do i need to for loop X times on addItem

[kind hatch]

So all is good then?

[kindred valley]

actually i want to enter another loop

[kind hatch]

Then add one? Or make a method that has a new loop.

[kindred valley]

I actually get the logic better again

thank you

[crisp steeple]

i believe there’s a method to add an array of items

[kind hatch]

Different items no, the same item yes. However it’s done with the itemstack class and not with the #addItem() method itself.

[cyan compass]

Got it. For loop time

Cause it is the same items but for loop feels easier

[crisp steeple]

varargs 🙂

[kind hatch]

If you know the amount that needs to be given, you could set the amount on the itemstack and then just give them the itemstack instead of looping.

[quaint mantle]

to send an entity metadata packet with protocollib what are the necessary fields to update

[daring lark]

                            if(!args[3].equalsIgnoreCase("s") || !args[3].equalsIgnoreCase("b")) {
                                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Dozwolone typy sklepów to b(kup) oraz s(sprzedaj).");
                                return true;
                            }
                            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Utworzono sklep.");
                        }``` why when i type b or s plugin is still sending a message about correct shop types. Should not this if statement just get skipped?

[crisp steeple]

it’s not an else statement

[sacred mountain]

how can i get a player's UUID that has never played before?

or the player's info like name, uuid

[crisp steeple]

getOfflinePlayer

[sacred mountain]

no as in they have never loggedi n

[crisp steeple]

yes

[sacred mountain]

i thought offlineplayer was for people who have logged in before

or is it every mc account

[crisp steeple]

Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer

that returns a mc account with the uuid you give

[sacred mountain]

how do i check if a player exists from just a string (name)

so if i create a method like isPlayerExist(String name)

[crisp steeple]

Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(name)

deprecated though

you mean if they’ve ever logged in before?

[worldly ingot]

It will still always return a player whether or not they exist

[crisp steeple]

yeah it’s wack

[worldly ingot]

If you want to check if some name exists and has an account, you'll have to directly query Mojang API

Or, I suppose, Microsoft API

[crisp steeple]

^

i think mojang api still works

[worldly ingot]

Probably but not for long

[sacred mountain]

public String getUUIDFromName(String name) {
        Scanner scanner;
        try {
            scanner = new Scanner(new URL("https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/" + name).openStream());
            String rawData = scanner.nextLine();
            scanner.close();
            return UUID.fromString(rawData.split("\"")[3].replaceFirst("([0-9a-fA-F]{8})([0-9a-fA-F]{4})([0-9a-fA-F]{4})([0-9a-fA-F]{4})([0-9a-fA-F]+)", "$1-$2-$3-$4-$5")).toString();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return "not found";
    }```

thats what i have for uuid

i didnt make that code

[crisp steeple]

does it work?

[sacred mountain]

cghecjgubg

checking*

[worldly owl]

came across this random src on my pc and am trying to fix it, its using (oh god, people are gunna get mad) 1.7 and its trying to do some silent check, and its just not working. ((CraftEntity)entity).getHandle().Silent = silence;, Silent isnt a boolean nor even exists. why did i decide to do this

[worldly ingot]

Any reason you're still using 1.7 though? Are you updating it from 1.7? If so, Bukkit has API to set the silence value of an entity

entity.setSilent(true)

[worldly owl]

yeah no i dont feel like updating this dinosaur lmao

im just messing around with it cause fun

even worse though some of it when i imported into intellij was using java 7

i mean im 99% sure its some mineplex code from a leak i got ages ago, so it would explain it.

well, given the project literally says mineplex i think it is lmao

[kindred valley]

how can i run main via maven

[radiant cedar]

is this not how i would store properties in yml??

but how would I read this data and create an object with each

like zorro will be a rank with given multiplier cost and blocks as a list

this is how to create the rank but how can i gather these data from the yml

to actually put it in as parameters to make the ranks

[crisp steeple]

FileConfiguration#getConfigurationSection(“ranks.” + playerName).get(“value”)

also not a good idea to make config based on player names, use uuid instead

[radiant cedar]

this is not player names

those are names of the ranks

[crisp steeple]

oh

then yeah doesn’t matter

[radiant cedar]

what does this do

exactly

[crisp steeple]

gets a value from the rank

[radiant cedar]

ok but how would i make the blocks work

[crisp steeple]

etc #getInt(“multiplier”)

[radiant cedar]

because i need a list of blocks for each

[crisp steeple]

well you’re storing them as a map, not as a list

[radiant cedar]

no

[crisp steeple]

use getMapList if you want the map

[radiant cedar]

also this

so for liek 1st one

[crisp steeple]

Material.valueOf(blockName) (not sure if it’s case sensitive or not)

[radiant cedar]

i would put "ranks."+ "zorro"

?

[crisp steeple]

is there a method for that?

i thought there might but i wasn’t sure

[crisp steeple]

actually no

ah

ok then yeah use that

[radiant cedar]

what do i put

as parameter

[crisp steeple]

is that even valid yaml?

[radiant cedar]

ye i think so

[crisp steeple]

i would make each rank a configuration section, not a value of a list

[radiant cedar]

how

[crisp steeple]

did you create this yaml manually or did you program it?

[radiant cedar]

manually

[crisp steeple]

yea

[radiant cedar]

ye but below the second rank is wrong i know that part

wait ill send only first 2 ranks

ranks:

• name: zorro
  multiplier: 1
  cost: 40000
  blocks:
  - name: stone
  prob: 0.6
  - name: coal_ore
  prob: 0.2
  - name: iron_ore
  prob: 0.2
  - name: gold_ore
  prob: 0.2
• name: xylia
  multiplier: 1
  cost: 70000
  blocks:
  - name: stone
  prob:
  - name: coal_ore
  prob:
  - name: iron_ore
  prob:
  - name: redstone_ore
  prob:
  - name: lapis_ore
  prob:
  - name: redstone_block
  prob:
  - name: lapis_block
  prob:

why tho

what does that even mean

[crisp steeple]

it’s not a configuration section

[radiant cedar]

idk what that means 😆

[crisp steeple]

so it can’t have properties like that

[radiant cedar]

huh?

but then i cant define what is the name

of the rank

can i

that is what i had initially

like this

does this work

and i have each block: so i can add probability

liek oak_log: 0.1

can i do that

can I explain this clearly so u can help me, never done yml

so might need some help

if u dont mind

ok i got it liek this

but why does this not work

[eternal night]

depends on whether you use maven or gradle

do you have a pom.xml ?

[vocal cloud]

Think?

[eternal night]

on your right side there should then be a maven tab

open it and find the package goal

double click that and it should package your jar

[radiant cedar]

can someone help me with reading yml file

[tepid ore]

What is your problem?

[radiant cedar]

idk how to read the yml

properly

[tepid ore]

I can't be bothered to real everything you've sent before lol

[radiant cedar]

so this is my class for ranks

[tepid ore]

Yeah?

[radiant cedar]

and I have all the properties of each rank

stored in yml

like this

[tepid ore]

And what is not working?

[radiant cedar]

i just dont know

how to read the yml

to store these data

in the class

or implement rather

[fleet falcon]

its your storage class right

[tepid ore]

To read for example the willow multiplier you would do like config.getInt("willow.multiplier") or whatever the full path is

That is all

[radiant cedar]

oh alright

but willow is a name for rank

[fleet falcon]

YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(new File("path"))

[tepid ore]

^

[radiant cedar]

so is there a way i can generalise a code

for all ranks

[tepid ore]

Iterate over all ranks

[radiant cedar]

ye but like

[fleet falcon]

xd

[tepid ore]

And get all values in the loop

[radiant cedar]

how do u get "willow"

[fleet falcon]

yaml is section based language

[fleet falcon]

get new section then loop it

[tepid ore]

for(String s : new String[] {"willow", "vero"}

[radiant cedar]

so this is bad way

of doing

[fleet falcon]

he should register them on config

[tepid ore]

Or just do for(String s : config.getConfigurationSection(SomePath).getKeys(false))

[fleet falcon]

yes

better

[tepid ore]

Depends if you have all ranks in the config from start or not

[fleet falcon]

its a bad code

[tepid ore]

If not, use the first option, otherwise the second

[fleet falcon]

just listen @tepid ore

[tepid ore]

Hmm?

To what?

[fleet falcon]

theres no ,

i said him

[tepid ore]

Ohh

My bad

[radiant cedar]

aight ty guys

[tepid ore]

Thought u told me to listen

Np :>

[radiant cedar]

can i ask more question if i get stuck again

[tepid ore]

Ofc

[radiant cedar]

❤️

[tepid ore]

That is why we are here

❤️

[grim ice]

i need an idea

im SO BORED

[tepid ore]

For?

Any plugin?

Just random?

[grim ice]

anything i cann code

[tepid ore]

Uhh

Configurable mob switch?

[grim ice]

wats that

[tepid ore]

Per-Mob and world?

mob limit

And disable certain mobs

Maybe?

[grim ice]

ehhhh

[tepid ore]

You need the full path

So from the first path

[radiant cedar]

ohh

[tepid ore]

Ranks.willow.multiplier or whatever

[radiant cedar]

ohoh

[bronze nest]

Guys do u know any good tutorial playlists that is good for learning Spigot?

[radiant cedar]

i thought u actually meant the file path

[tepid ore]

Also, do for(String rank : config.getConfigurationSection(YourConfigPathToRanks).getKeys(false))

Oh, nono

[tepid ore]

I started with this iirc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4W4drYdb4Q

Pretty good imo

Do you know Java?

Otherwise, start with that

[radiant cedar]

why is first one 0 tho

[bronze nest]

Yeah

[tepid ore]

Then watch the tutorial 🙂

[bronze nest]

Alright thanks bro

[tepid ore]

Np

[tepid ore]

Also, you can ask here if you need help 🙂

[tepid ore]

Is zoro in the config?

Or is the multiplier 0?

[radiant cedar]

zorro

smh

lol

[tepid ore]

Does it exist in the config?

Ohh

[radiant cedar]

its supposed to be zorro

i typo

[tepid ore]

Yeah might be it lol

[radiant cedar]

also idk if this is good idea

so i have blocks right

and each blocks id

[tepid ore]

What is it?

[radiant cedar]

with probability

so the double numbers

are probability for each block i want

but is this a bad way of writing this

[tepid ore]

I would just do a list, with the blocks and then the odds after a comma

But yeah

That works

I would suggest a list as it is easier to edit and read imo

[radiant cedar]

because this way just like "zorro" "serenity" i would need to search by block name right

[tepid ore]

Yup

Though

If you have them in a list

[radiant cedar]

how can have them in a list here

[tepid ore]

You can do config.getStringList()

add a hyphen before the block name, and remove the :

[radiant cedar]

hyphen and space right

where do i keep probaiblity

[tepid ore]

blocks:
- "Stone,10"
- "Dirt,20"

Like this

[radiant cedar]

oh alright

[fleet falcon]

its better than list

[tepid ore]

I prefer a list, but whatever works

[radiant cedar]

ya i imagine

so i will do substrings

for this now?

[tepid ore]

Yeah

[radiant cedar]

to seperate name and odds

alright

[tepid ore]

Mhm

[fleet falcon]

just write
gold: 0.5
diamond: 0.1

and loop them

its all

[tepid ore]

^

This works too if you want

Preference

[onyx fjord]

where do i find itemstack version list?

[crisp steeple]

making yaml manually is not a very good idea

[fleet falcon]

to why

[tepid ore]

Wat?

[onyx fjord]

this v shit

[fleet falcon]

did you hear xmaterials

[onyx fjord]

meh

[fleet falcon]

i think your solution is it

[radiant cedar]

then might as well keep it like that

[onyx fjord]

my plugins supports only latest and prelatest

[radiant cedar]

since my whole yml is liek that

[fleet falcon]

xmaterial is cross platform itemstack parser

[tepid ore]

Sounds good

Though

If you want all materials

[onyx fjord]

ikr

[tepid ore]

Don't add them by hand

Iterate over all materials

And add them that way

[onyx fjord]

its made in code, the file

[fleet falcon]

then you don't need this ugly usage

[onyx fjord]

it serializes the inventory or whatever

[fleet falcon]

is it a database

[onyx fjord]

its a yml file

[fleet falcon]

yes but

you are using as

database or config

[onyx fjord]

config

[fleet falcon]

okay then xmaterial is better

[onyx fjord]

meh i dont need that

[fleet falcon]

but your choose

[onyx fjord]

i just wanna know the 1.17.1 itemstack version lol

[fleet falcon]

okay i understand you

[kindred valley]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[onyx fjord]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/inventory/ItemStack.html#serialize()

this is what im using

[fleet falcon]

ik

[radiant cedar]

wait how do i loop them without writing each name of the block

to find each name of block

[onyx fjord]

soo like where the version comes from?

[radiant cedar]

i kept it like this

[onyx fjord]

btw this is the error
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Newer version! Server downgrades are not supported!

it screams that version is too new

[fleet falcon]

good question but did you complete everything except that

[fleet falcon]

that is why other methods are made

[upper vale]

ConfigurationSection#getKeys

[radiant cedar]

what would blocks: be

cus its not Int

but does it count as string

if like that

idk yml bruh

[fleet falcon]

double

[radiant cedar]

huh

no i had blockname: block_odds

im not hardcoding blockname for each rank

so how could iget blocknames as a list

if its a key

[upper vale]

Blocks is a configuration section

getKeys returns block names

[fleet falcon]

yes as i said above

[onyx fjord]

ima use xmaterial lol

thx

[tepid ore]

config.getConfigurationSection(path).getKeys(false)

[fleet falcon]

yaml is section based language

[onyx fjord]

btw its 2730 if somebody wanna know

[radiant cedar]

oh ok i got it now

but what is boolean deep

for the getKeys method

[fleet falcon]

section1:
    deep-section:
        another-deep-section:
section2:```

[tepid ore]

Whether or not to get the section under

Yeah

That

[radiant cedar]

so i put true

[fleet falcon]

you should false

because you'll need only rank names right

[radiant cedar]

wait what

im getting the keys under blocks:

so im getting the block names

and i can also use these names to get probabilities

[fleet falcon]

no you didn't understand

firstly you should loop rank names

rank1:
    deep-section:
rank2:
rank3:

and get section of the a rank

serialize the section

[radiant cedar]

i mean im getting all the values i need with this rn

is it bad

[fleet falcon]

can i use anydesk

[radiant cedar]

lolol

[fleet falcon]

okay

look

do you know what is section

[radiant cedar]

not rly

[fleet falcon]

.

[radiant cedar]

but im guessing its whatever comes before :

[fleet falcon]

section is it

[fleet falcon]

yes

[radiant cedar]

ya i get this

[fleet falcon]

but all sections includes under sections of itself

[radiant cedar]

yes

but these dont correct?

[fleet falcon]

these are correct

but what is parent section of them

[radiant cedar]

yes but these dont have under sections

right?

[fleet falcon]

you need it

yes

[radiant cedar]

their parent is blocks

[fleet falcon]

good

[radiant cedar]

blocks' parents is ranks

[fleet falcon]

you should loop blocks

get blocks section

and paste here code

[radiant cedar]

config.getConfigurationSection("ranks." + s + ".blocks")

where s is a given name of a rank

[tepid ore]

Yeah

[fleet falcon]

do you want store their proabilities as list

[radiant cedar]

i guess yes

[fleet falcon]

okay then create new method

which is returns list

the method will need configuration section parameter

[radiant cedar]

static public ArrayList<Double> probabilityList(ConfigurationSection section) {

    ArrayList<Double> probs = new ArrayList<Double>();
    
    return probs;
}

[fleet falcon]

good

[crisp steeple]

syntax error?

what

[fleet falcon]

i didnt check it

[radiant cedar]

i dont have any errors

[fleet falcon]

where is it

[crisp steeple]

is this valid

wtf

[fleet falcon]

whats problem

[quaint mantle]

static public

no what the fuck

die

[crisp steeple]

i’ve never seen static public before

[worldly ingot]

They can be in any order, yeah

[fleet falcon]

i teach him config sections i dont i care static and public keywords

i talking for her level

[radiant cedar]

<3<3<3

[crisp steeple]

never even knew that

lol

[worldly ingot]

If you really want, you can do strictfp final static protected void hello()

[radiant cedar]

huh

[worldly ingot]

No, please don't do that. Just making a point lol

[fleet falcon]

this is a util method

so you should make static it

but not public

make it private

[radiant cedar]

alr

[fleet falcon]

loop blocks section and add probabilities to the list

but you need map to make it

[radiant cedar]

does this look right

[fleet falcon]

no

[crisp steeple]

it’s a string

[radiant cedar]

oh maps

ok

[fleet falcon]

its really hard

to explain

[radiant cedar]

i did this

it works

[quaint mantle]

List<Double> probabilities = section.getKeys(false).stream()
                                                   .map(p -> config.getDouble("ranks." + p + ".blocks." + x)
                                                   .collect(Collectors.toList());

[radiant cedar]

what hte hell

does that actually work

[eternal oxide]

what is he trying to do with these probabilities?

[radiant cedar]

that comes later

[fleet falcon]

this is another usage of your for loop

[radiant cedar]

making prison server

[eternal oxide]

you can get it as a Map simply by get the section, cast to MemorySection and .getMap()

[fleet falcon]

completely same but its one line

[radiant cedar]

yuh yuh i get that i get that

[quaint mantle]

one expression * 😎

[fleet falcon]

yeah actually

[radiant cedar]

what does -> even do

[fleet falcon]

i can write all classes in one line using java

[radiant cedar]

in java

[fleet falcon]

no

its lambda

[quaint mantle]

lambda

[eternal oxide]

@radiant cedar Is there a reason you want a List of probabilities?

[radiant cedar]

yes

for spawn rates of blocks

[fleet falcon]

no xd

[radiant cedar]

for each rank of mines

[fleet falcon]

you should use map

i said

[radiant cedar]

dont need i will just use 2 arraylists like a noob

[eternal oxide]

it seems odd to want it in a List where you need a key

[quaint mantle]

void take(Consumer<Integer> consumer) {
    consumer.accept(1);
}

//

// myObject.take(i -> System.out.println(i));
myObject.take(System.out::println);

[fleet falcon]

or you can send lambda guide to him

today my english is crashed

[radiant cedar]

.getKeys returns an array of strings right

[eternal oxide]

a simple Map would be more useful

[fleet falcon]

move your cursor to the method

[radiant cedar]

i see string over there so im guessing this means that

but

looks weird

[fleet falcon]

you can think Set = arraylist

[radiant cedar]

oh ok

[fleet falcon]

but not

know it too

[ivory sleet]

a list w/o order and w/o duplicates

[radiant cedar]

ok ty guys

can u not just do Material.getMaterial(gold_ore) ??

[ivory sleet]

matchMaterial is preferred

[kindred valley]

I'm checking if the specified item has persistentdatacontainer i want but its not entering

p.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().getItemMeta().getPersistentDataContainer().has(new NamespacedKey(Main.plugin, "phone-data"), PersistentDataType.STRING)

public PhoneItem() {
        ItemMeta meta = phone.getItemMeta();
        PersistentDataContainer container = meta.getPersistentDataContainer();
        NamespacedKey key = new NamespacedKey(Main.plugin, "phone-data");
        container.set(key, PersistentDataType.STRING, "PHONE");
        phone.setItemMeta(meta);
    }

[pastel juniper]

I want to make a plugin that creates a config file for every player, but I don't really understand how all this work.

[pastel juniper]

public class ItemManager {
public static ItemStack Phone;

public static void init() {
    createPhone();
}
private static void createPhone(){
    ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.PAPER, 9);
    ItemMeta meta = item.getItemMeta();

    meta.setDisplayName("Phone");
    PersistentDataContainer pdc = meta.getPersistentDataContainer();
    pdc.set(new NamespacedKey(Main.getPlugin(Main.class), "phone-data"), PersistentDataType.BYTE, (byte) 1);
    item.setItemMeta(meta);
    Phone= item;
}

}

[fleet falcon]

this is worst idea

[pastel juniper]

Will it take too much storage.

[fleet falcon]

no

purpose of database is storing datas in one part

multi yaml file databases is a lot of issues

for example you cannot load them in startup

[rough drift]

ha, it was my solution for avoiding 800MB of yaml

well not yaml

a cheaper format

[fleet falcon]

i recommend sqlite

[crisp steeple]

from my experience using yaml files as a database is very bad and tedious

[rough drift]

I'd suggest however doing this:

Use PDC if you don't need much storage
If you need to act on offline players, store an action that you can run when they join in a file (such as: REMOVE, ADD, SET)

[crisp steeple]

i would recommend sqllite like he said or just an actual database

or pdc if it’s small enough

but i don’t think that’ll work if you’re making it multi-server

[fleet falcon]

btw i have sqlite api

time to ads https://github.com/Obliviated/BlokSQLiteAPI

[rough drift]

Redis + AOF

fastest and most efficient way for single key-value pair storage

[fleet falcon]

if your server is not hypixel

probably you dont need it xd

but you can. of course.

[rough drift]

wait

wrong

Redis + AOF & RDB

[rough drift]

ofc

but for a simple key-value pair look up its more than enough

[quaint mantle]

player.getInventory().getItem(i).hasMetadata("test")
Cannot resolve method 'hasMetadata' in 'ItemStack'

[rough drift]

player.getInventory().getItem(i).getPersistentDataContainer().has(key, type);

you want that?

[quaint mantle]

i am trying to see if it has metadata

with the name "test"

[rough drift]

wdym

like a custom tag?

[quaint mantle]

ye

[rough drift]

?pd

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[rough drift]

.

[fleet falcon]

metadata of itemstacks is nbt

[quaint mantle]

that's not even what i'm trying to do

[rough drift]

ohhhhhhhhhhh

[fleet falcon]

or aak persistent data container

[quaint mantle]

what if i cast it to item

lol

[round agate]

not the worst but not the best. you can choose .json over .yaml if you cannot deal with database to store player data

[solid cargo]

how can i disable redstone placement. this doesnt work

[crisp steeple]

can you send the full event?

[solid cargo]

the rest of if's work tho

except redstone

kinda shit code but yeah

also registered it on main class in onEnable

[river oracle]

make a list

[quaint mantle]

lmao

nice code

[river oracle]

e.g. banned components and check if the material is in the list

[solid cargo]

i didnt ask about code efficiency, but why doesnt redstone work

[quaint mantle]

what version u on

[solid cargo]

sure i will make a list

api is 1.16

server is 1.17

[river oracle]

if(bannedComponents.contains(Material material){
  e.setCanelled(true);
}

[solid cargo]

.1

yeah

thank you

[river oracle]

whats not working

[solid cargo]

the redstone cancel thing

rest of it works

[worldly owl]

hey to check if the player is online do i just make an if statement and check if Player is null?

[solid cargo]

ye

[worldly owl]

aight cool tyty

[river oracle]

just Material.REDSTONE that if won't trigger?

[solid cargo]

yes

[river oracle]

that means redstone isn't being placed you could figure out the correct material if you just do a simple sysout(mat)

usually I do that if i'm not quite sure

simple debug statement should clear up if you got the right material comparing

[worldly owl]

ah kk ty for the ifno

info*

im trying to make a mineplex-style core plugin because im bored, its not gunna go well but why not.

[solid cargo]

didnt think of that

thanks guys <3

[worldly owl]

ty ;D first proper plugin that im actually going to use lmao

[river oracle]

yep its REDSTONE_WIRE

just looked at docs

[radiant cedar]

how can I add a new variable and method for the Player class

so everyone can have a rank and money variable

[crisp steeple]

you can’t

you would have to make a wrapper class

[radiant cedar]

oh

[crisp steeple]

or switch to kotlin

(don’t actually)

[worldly owl]

you can code bukkit plugins with kotlin?

damn

gg

[crisp steeple]

you can code anything you could in java with kotlin

it’s pretty neat

[worldly owl]

really?

[crisp steeple]

not easy really

just different

[worldly owl]

i find java easy but kotlin a little confusing

granted though my only experience is android apps so.

[crisp steeple]

kotlin has a higher learning curve but a lower starting point

[worldly owl]

not a good reference point lmao

[crisp steeple]

it’s probably easier to learn a small amount of kotlin than a small amount of java

but harder to learn a lot of kotlin than it is to learn a lot of java

[worldly owl]

i mean if im honest i find java somewhat easy

sometimes its really confusing but like right now it isnt bad

i mean i just learned what a constructor is so thats nice

btw is ur pfp a crab deotime?

[crisp steeple]

yes

carboncrab

[worldly owl]

lets go

wait if i use mongodb for storing perms can that handle a hashmap for my permissions

infact how tf do i make a hashmap for it he bukkit wiki doesnt really get into that

nono

it says how to make one

[quiet ice]

Map<Object, Object> x = new HashMap<>();

[worldly owl]

but i dont get how i would add to one through my onjoin event

and how i would make one globally avalable because i have an instance thing but thats static

whats the difference? ive used neither ;D

[quiet ice]

I am an API dev, I already made that mistake a few times - not so great to refactor afterwards

[quaint mantle]

or just a normal person who follows conventions

its not advanced coding

[compact haven]

^

[worldly owl]

yes but what is the difference between a map and a hashmap i dont understand that

[compact haven]

you always use the lowest level contract for field types

[worldly owl]

they sound the same

[compact haven]

Map is an interface

HashMap is an implementation

[worldly owl]

ah ok

[compact haven]

It groups things by their hash to minimize the number of equals calls

[worldly owl]

and im assuming after a while that makes a big difference?

performance wise anyway

[compact haven]

Uh

[quiet ice]

yeah, that being said hashmaps are not the be-all-end-all of collections

[compact haven]

Not compared to Map, you can’t make a Map

Map is just a set of methods a class must have to call itself a Map

[worldly owl]

i have now learned what an interface is, useful.

[quiet ice]

There are multiple implementations like TreeMap, HashMap, LinkedHashMap, ConcurrentHashMap and etc.

[quaint mantle]

interface Animal {
    void speak();
}

class Cat implements Animal {
    @Override
    public void speak() {
        System.out.println("meow");
    }
}

//

Animal animal = new Cat();
animal.speak();

[worldly owl]

i agree

good cat

cat is good

i mean dogs are better and smarter but cat

[quiet ice]

They are nice and all, but sometimes they are too much care.
But then I am also a particularly lazy person

[worldly owl]

my mum loves cats but i like both

cats look cute

and dogs are better at most other things

im watching a yt tutorial for mongodb and java and the guy said the program isnt going to work until i compile it

like yeah bro imma go run raw java code rq 1 sec

[quiet ice]

People are doing too much python/lua/javascript/etc these days

[worldly owl]

yes well

e

the guy told me to make the mongodb client and stuff in the onenable, how tf am i gunna access that outside the onenable

can i just make it private static outside the onenable and then make a thing to getMongo()

[radiant cedar]

i got this far

where x is the users uuid

but if there is no entry for that player

how can i make it so the code can make a new key with the

uuid

so then i can add a key for ranks and money to that

@fleet falcon

huh

like this

ye ik the path dosnt exist

i have different method to check

but how can i add

nono but what if that "players."+ x doesnt exist

how can i make new

what that x

ohhh

ok thats so good

[worldly owl]

hey how do i add my permissions to the db? it would be kinda dumb to do a hashmap with player,permattachment and im not sure what else to put there

[radiant cedar]

tyy

[worldly owl]

yeah well in general what would i store,

[worldly owl]

because i got the id stuff alr set i just need a way of storing all the permissionsattachments

[undone axle]

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

[radiant cedar]

idk what part of code

to paste

[worldly owl]

wait no shouldnt i store a list of strings with all the permission nodes then for each when a player joins add that to the permission attachment?

how do i store a list of strings?

not a hashmap since that needs 2 things, just a straight list of all of them

[tepid ore]

What are the benefits on making an inner class static? I assume the class is loaded and stored just like a static function, but anything apart from that?

[mortal hare]

back in the old days...

Java was hipstery type of programming lang too in the 90s

[quaint mantle]

inner private classes are almost always static

because they have no reason not to be

[quiet ice]

That is true

[mortal hare]

if you make inner class static you dont need to initialize the outer class in order to construct the inner one

[quiet ice]

Also, did you know that there are CPUs that can execute Java bytecode? So theoretically Java is a low level lang these days.

[quaint mantle]

package me.person.javastuff;

public class Main {
    private class MyClass {
        void doSomething() {
            System.out.println("Hello World!");
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Main().new MyClass().doSomething();
