[granite owl]

dude the eventhandler isnt hooking static functions lmao

[crisp steeple]

oml

[crisp steeple]

did you delete the message lmao

you literally made a static listener

i saw it with my own eyes

[granite owl]

okay so please explain to me why not to pass the event as function parameter?

[river oracle]

I have methods where I pass events as a parameter

[granite owl]

5 mins ago since my solution wasnt wanted

[river oracle]

solid layer of abstraction

[granite owl]

i want him to elaborate since he knows better

[river oracle]

works well with some interfaces I have set up

[granite owl]

xD

[river oracle]

amazing for gui clicks and such

[crisp steeple]

because having a static event handler is absolutely awful practice

[river oracle]

oh bruh has a static event handler

[granite owl]

main.class

[crisp steeple]

yes obv, i use this a lot but in this case it made no sense as the class name was "User" which definitely sounds like it should be instanced

[granite owl]

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerRespawn(PlayerRespawnEvent event)
    {
        User.onPlayerRespawn(event);
    }

User.class

    public static void onPlayerRespawn(PlayerRespawnEvent event)
    {
        if (!event.isBedSpawn() && !event.isAnchorSpawn())
        {
            event.setRespawnLocation(spawn);
        }
    }

[waxen plinth]

But why

[granite owl]

because having this

[waxen plinth]

And why do you put your braces on the next line

😭

[crisp steeple]

...why not just have the listener in the user class

[river oracle]

[granite owl]

public void onEnable()
    {
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
        
        Callbacks.init(this);
        Ranks.init(this); 
        Admin.init(this);
        User.init(this);
    }
``` otherwise this is getting messy af

[opal juniper]

so that i vomit

[river oracle]

what

[crisp steeple]

wtf is the point of using static initializer pattern if you dont even store it anywhere

??

lmao

second deleted message

[opal juniper]

lol, they are storing it as singleton

thats not the point

[crisp steeple]

why would user be a singleton 🙃

[river oracle]

a user shouldn't be singleton

or just rename the class to be better descriptive of its contents

[crisp steeple]

yeah

something like UserHandler would maybe make more sense

no one knows, this class just came out of nowhere

[opal juniper]

use sounds to me like it should be instantiated

[river oracle]

maybe it makes sense given his codebase

[crisp steeple]

yeah

[opal juniper]

as like a Player would be

[waxen plinth]

What exactly is so bad about this

Just split it up

Make an initializeUtils method or something like that where all the init happens

But all of that stuff is static and probably shouldn't be

[granite owl]

its 3 distinct systems that interact with each other but operate independent

[crisp steeple]

depends what it does ig

[granite owl]

wrapping everything in one and the same initialize method and bundling them caused my code to go messy last time

[crisp steeple]

if its just removing the player removePlayer probably makes more sense

[waxen plinth]

How could it be messy

It's just a sequence of init calls

And you can make it more branching if needed

Like one call to initialize all of the systems for one thing, then a call to initialize all of the systems for another thing

[crisp steeple]

if user is supposed to be a singleton why not just put the listener in the user class instead of making another class that gets the singleton and then triggers a method inside of it

[granite owl]

youre not even trying to listen to me you've just bashed me for the last 10 minutes alongside a couple others without even knowing what my code is doing

[crisp steeple]

bruh

[crisp steeple]

i dont know what your code is doing because you havent explained lol

[granite owl]

but isnt that what im doing?

if i aint getting u wrong here

[shadow gazelle]

Do I have to make a new enchanted book to modify the stored enchantments or something? Just remove/adding them doesn't seem to work.

[waxen plinth]

I dunno I just got here

[waxen plinth]

What do you mean?

You have to get the ItemMeta, cast it to EnchantmentStorageMeta, and then add/remove stored enchantments

[shadow gazelle]

That's what I'm doing

it isn't saving or something

[waxen plinth]

Can you show the code

^

[shadow gazelle]

ffs

[granite owl]

implementing a custom permissions system, overriding vanilla commands to make em compatible with the rank system, implementing administration commands, implementing oh wonder, user commands like setting a home, a global spawn

[shadow gazelle]

forgot I had to do that with meta

[waxen plinth]

So you're reinventing essentials?

[granite owl]

im already done

and fully operational

[crisp steeple]

yea i forget this all the time lol

[waxen plinth]

Have you ever used nucleus

It's like essentials but for sponge

And my god it is so much better

[shadow gazelle]

I did that a lot with my first plugin and I still forget

[waxen plinth]

I kinda hate essentials

[daring lark]

i have a quick question. Did spigot overrides equals method, like if i would like to compare chests or sth. Did i need to override them on my own?

[opal juniper]

it overrides somethings

depends

[waxen plinth]

Why would two different chests ever be equal

[crisp steeple]

chests as in the blocks or inventory?

[daring lark]

i mean that was example

[waxen plinth]

ItemStack overrides equals

I can't even really think of much else that would need to

Different entities, blocks, and such will never be equal

BlockData overrides equals

ItemStack#equals?

Yes

[granite owl]

to be exact, ive bound the permissions to scoreboard teams which can be dynamically managed ingame.

[waxen plinth]

It only returns true if the items are identical

Yes

Oh my god it is not that complicated nor does it matter that much

Just pick something lol

Both the names sound fine

Leave a comment/javadocs if you really think it's unclear what the method does

[crisp steeple]

https://randomwordgenerator.com/

[shadow gazelle]

lol

[trail oriole]

currency.get(player.getName()) -= helmetP[helmet];
Currency is a hashmap having the player as a key and an int associated and helmetP is an array containing integers, yet i can't do this operation

[opal juniper]

well u need to re-set it

[trail oriole]

so set instead of get ?

is that all ?

[opal juniper]

but you cant -= cause that is reassigning to something that isnt a var

[trail oriole]

oh

i'm so confused on how to do that

[quiet ice]

map.put(key, value)

[opal juniper]

^

[quiet ice]

(you could use map.merge or something like that but eh)

[trail oriole]

but how do I get the previous value associated to the key

I still need to do an operation

[quiet ice]

just get it?

Also, you should always store data based on the player's UUID, not by name

[trail oriole]

currency.put(player.getName(), currency.get(player.getName() )- helmetP[helmet]); ?

[quiet ice]

close

[trail oriole]

no need for data, the hashmap is deleted when the player opens an inventory and a new one is created so no need to use uuid, i'll nver have two players with the same name online

[quiet ice]

But you probably meant the right thing, it's just a stray bracket

[trail oriole]

no wait

it works

i'm just dumb and used player's name instead of the player itself

[quiet ice]

oh

I sense a memory leak

[trail oriole]

yeah ^^'

[sterile token]

What better for comparing ItemStack, equals() or isSimilar()?

[humble tulip]

Similar doesn't check amount

Equals does

[sterile token]

Oh allright good point i didnt think that

[granite owl]

iirc equals converts the objects into their sha hash and then compares the two so they must be absoloutly identical to return true

but i bet if im wrong here someone will be happy to enlighten

[ivory sleet]

at some point I believe equals cloned the stack 3 times

[sterile token]

So for ItemStack equls() is memory lost right?

[granite owl]

hm?

[sterile token]

Because when you compare ItemStack you dont care about the amount for example

[ivory sleet]

then isSimilar

[sterile token]

Allright thanks

I dont know why the fuck, interface doesnt allow to use their implementation methods of a class

For me its so engorrous

[granite owl]

because thats what a class is for

and why u inherit objects

[ivory sleet]

default?

private methods?

[sterile token]

I explain

So you told me if correct

I use interface when need to have the same methods in multiple class

[granite owl]

i mean im prob just dumb but iirc an interface just tells the class it must have a method

[ivory sleet]

thats one way to use them

[granite owl]

but the method must be defined in ur class

like a placeholder

[sterile token]

So in my case i have a Menu interface with getName(), getSize(), getInventory(), bla bla.

So i have 2 diff types of menu, Inventory (normal one) and Paginated.

So in paginated i want to use there the methods from interface and the methods from the class

I cannot, because for tracking my inventories i have a Map<UUID, Menu> because as i have diff menu types

[ivory sleet]

that sounds extremely like an impl detail

good thing it isnt exposed in your interface

[sterile token]

I would love to do that lmao

setPage() its specific from the PaginatedMenu

My main problem come when i need to get the inventory, into the diff types

Because if i cast it, them i get issue

🤔

[ivory sleet]

I mean expose the type then?

[sterile token]

I cannot because the Menus will be saved in 1 map only

I dont want to have them separated

[ivory sleet]

I mean

the map can still consume the type Menu

but you should have a separate type which is paginated

as it seems to expose further api functionality

[sterile token]

Conclure i dont understand sorry im dumb :(

Ajam, and how you track them?

Allright, so you have a class for normal menus and one for paginated right? And you track uuid and BaseGUI

Yeah i do that for dont killing myself

So what i can do? explan what you mean Conclure by doing further api functionality

Yeah you keep the full player object losting memory

That what i avoid using UUID instead of whole object

But iin fact is the same

[grim ice]

make a PaginatedMenu extends Menu

which has a static factory

to make its implementation (PaginatedMenuImpl/SimplePaginatedMenu)

[sterile token]

Yeah

[grim ice]

thats what i would do

[sterile token]

A factory right?

[grim ice]

yeah, factory pattern

[sterile token]

ok

[grim ice]

https://github.com/Dqmino/EntitySerializer/blob/main/src/main/java/me/hex/entityserializer/api/EntitySerializer.java#L21

this is an example

[granite owl]

hows the event called thats fired when the beacon is activated?

when the effect is chosen for an emerald, diamond etc

[sterile token]

So its organized good in this way:

Menu interface - For the menus implementations
InventoryMenu - For working with normal inventory
PaginatedMenu - For working with paginated menus
MenuButton - For managing the item and the action it run
MenuAction and ActionEvent - For managing the actions
MenuHandler - Keep tracks of menus

For looks organized, maybe im wrong

[grim ice]

i mean that sounds fine

[sterile token]

Yeah but i need to take care because its open source api

[grim ice]

not really

Majority ==> Correct

Minority ==> Incorrect

[sterile token]

2Hex factory are usually singleton classes right?

[grim ice]

nah

they can be interfaces

It does

[sterile token]

Oh ok

[grim ice]

majority is the correct

by correct I mean that you cant suppress it

if you cant suppress an opinion, society calls it correct

like it or not lol

It will become correct

Well

the new born babies will be taught that it is correct, if chosen so by the majority

therefore the next generation will think its correct, even though it actually was not

so the fact that it is incorrect will be forgotten

[sterile token]

Agree with you, here happens that with the diff opinions about governements if you say something against most people critize you when you are just giving your opinion

[grim ice]

and democracy is just the definition of what im saying

the representative that assigns law, is elected by the majority

meaning correct or incorrect heavily depends on the majority

lol

it does

Yes.

[sterile token]

If majority dont agree, you will get literally fucked

As said Hex

[grim ice]

oh yeah whatever

your friends are family are nothing in this society lol

[brisk acorn]

can some one help me

[grim ice]

i can bet none of you have that high of a social status that your opinion matters in society

its the sad truth lol

[brisk acorn]

[chilly pagoda]

hello Im totally new to java & spigot, is there any resource I can learn how to implement adding new tool/weapon types? (scythes daggers)

obv with variants such as wooden, stone, iron etc.

I thought of giving them an NBT tag so I can get the item type and execute code for all material types, but I couldnt find much help on that online

[quaint mantle]

you can do that with resource packs and pdc

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[granite owl]

isnt there a bukkit implementation for the beacon activate event?

[chilly pagoda]

i saw that post but its still too complicated, not that good with plugins yet

I tried looking for github repos that would have something similar but no luck there

[quaint mantle]

there's other ways like checking for specific lore but I would recommend learning pdc

[chilly pagoda]

yea no lore checking would be dogshit for what Im trynna do

is there some fully-working example available so I can have something that works and learn from that?

Im real shit at theory I need something practical to learn how stuff works

prolly worded taht wrong tired asf soz, all I'd need to learn this is to have 1 example of someone reading any custom nbt tag off an item

[hexed hatch]

It’s really not complicated

Not even remotely

[chilly pagoda]

yea its prolly not

jsut too much information in the post my ape brain gets overloaded

[sterile token]

Maybe a video can help

[grim ice]

@chilly pagoda listen

so what it does is

every item has a container okay?

[chilly pagoda]

yes

[grim ice]

and in that container u caan add a section

and that section has a valie

value

[chilly pagoda]

yes

[grim ice]

so for example

section "name" with value "Osama"

name: Osama

[chilly pagoda]

{tag:{ape:1b}}

I did datapacks for years

[grim ice]

yeah

[lost matrix]

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[chilly pagoda]

I just never did Java :p

Ill try to find a vid tho dw

im le special

[grim ice]

so in this case

the section

is a "namespacedkey"

namespacedkey is nothing complicated

its just a word

(string)

attached to your plugin

ItemStack itemStack = ...;
NamespacedKey key = new NamespacedKey(pluginInstance, "our-custom-key");
ItemMeta itemMeta = itemStack.getItemMeta();
itemMeta.getPersistentDataContainer().set(key, PersistentDataType.DOUBLE, Math.PI);
itemStack.setItemMeta(itemMeta);

here

u have the itemstack from somewhere

and a namespacedkey, which is ourcustomkey

u get the container of the item, and write

our-custom-key: Math.PI

in it

which is 3.14 ofc

so this is how it looks like

[limpid junco]

I'm not sure if it is in the rules of this server, but can we ask questions about the installation of Third party spigot libraries?
because I'm having trouble with the installation of https://github.com/IPVP-MC/canvas
I went through to instructions and the
mvn clean install
is just not working for me
It says that mvn is not a command in the terminal

[grim ice]

item:
|__ container:
    |__ our-custom-key: 3.14
    |__ something-else: hello

@chilly pagoda

its just a hashmap if u know what that is

[sterile token]

a PDC its easy to understand its literally a key-value pair

[grim ice]

yeah

i didnt understand it at all when i was starting out though

[sterile token]

where key can be a name to indentify and the value can be a object, string, integer, etc

Hex im burning my head trying to do the paginated menu - hahaha

[twilit wharf]

I have a biome provider, and when I set a biome to deep ocean, it sets it in f3, but still generates land there. The land has shipwrecks and ocean monuments on it, yet no water.

[grim ice]

lol

(thats why i dislike guis)

[sterile token]

2Hex its correcta List<PaginatedMenu>?

[grim ice]

yea ig

[mortal hare]

public interface HandleableUIContainer<T extends HandleableUIContainerView<? extends HandleableUIContainer<T, V>, V>, V> extends UIContainer<T, V>, HandleableUI<T, V> {}

my generics best record

[sterile token]

What shit are you doing lmao

[mortal hare]

abstraction shit

im doing an experimental lib, where toasts, container inventory uis, and holograms could be implemented using the same couple interfaces

[sterile token]

dovidas can i get your gth profile please

[mortal hare]

UI<?> hologramUI = HologramFactory.getInstance().createHologram("Hello world!", loc).display(player);

UI<?> inventoryUI = ContainerUIFactory.getInstance().createGUI(Component.text("Title"), ....).display(player);

UI<?> toastUI = ToastsFactory.getInstance().createToast(IconType.STONE, Component.text("Title"), Component.text("Detailed info")).display(player); 

it theory it should work similiar to adventure api

[mortal hare]

there's nothing particularly interesting there. but sure https://github.com/Dovias

[sterile token]

Thanks

i watn to check menu apis

But on github i only find shity ones

[mortal hare]

There's no git repo there

containing this

its on my pc currently since its very experimental

and not complete yet

[sterile token]

Oh ok

Because my brains burns trying to create paginated one

[mortal hare]

have you tried using SpiGUI

[sterile token]

Shity

I dont like the design

[mortal hare]

My Inventory UI implementation currently doesnt use InventoryHolder

[sterile token]

no one use that

hahaha

[mortal hare]

InventoryFramework afaik use that

[sterile token]

why?

[mortal hare]

to detect if the inventory is gui

[sterile token]

I dont understand the need of that

[mortal hare]

you can store instances of objects there

but there are some consequences of doing that

[sterile token]

I just check the top inventory

😂

dovidas

How can i design the paginated part?

[mortal hare]

well chest inventory is 6*9 = 54

right

[sterile token]

ajam

In my PaginatedMenu i keep track of List<Menu>

[radiant cedar]

what is the difference between Bukkit.getWorld and Bukkit.getServer().getWorld()

[sterile token]

Nothing

[mortal hare]

one's shorter

[radiant cedar]

lmaoo

ok ty

[mortal hare]

I bet Bukkit.getWorld() internally just calls Bukkit.getServer().getWorld()

so Bukkit.getServer().getWorld() should be with a pinch of salt faster to call since you are calling only one method you need, and not two methods instead

but that's premature optimization

JIT would take care of that, I bet.

[grim ice]

Uh

How do i make some sort of

communicating from a client and a server (not in spigot or minecraft)

so it cant be replicated

by others

cuz if i wanna make a point system for example

i will want to tell the server to add me a point when i do something

[eternal oxide]

end-to-end authentication or a token system

[grim ice]

wat

oooo

[eternal oxide]

however you will never write anythign that is 100% secure

[grim ice]

that sounds hard

[eternal oxide]

You have to decide how much work you really want to put into making it secure

[grim ice]

i guess not that secure

but not extremely easy to bypass

do u know some tutorial

or guide

[eternal oxide]

Nothing up to date. I've not done anything with encryption in 10 years

[grim ice]

doesnt need t o be up to date

[eternal oxide]

from 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20151028220353/http://blog.local.ch/en/2007/10/29/openssl-php-to-java/

[mortal hare]

I like how I despised using generics and now im abusing the shit out of them lol

[quaint mantle]

void transferMoney(
            Player sender,
            Player recipient,
            Connection connection,
            Statement statement,
            String amount
    ) throws SQLException {
        float senderBalance = 0;
        float recipientBalance = 0;

        ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM currencies;");
        while(result.next()){
            if(result.getString("uuid").equalsIgnoreCase(sender.getUniqueId().toString())) senderBalance = result.getFloat("money");
            if(result.getString("uuid").equalsIgnoreCase(recipient.getUniqueId().toString())) recipientBalance = result.getFloat("money");
        }

        statement.execute("UPDATE currencies SET money = " + (recipientBalance + Integer.parseInt(amount)) + " WHERE uuid IS " + recipient.getUniqueId().toString());
        statement.execute("UPDATE currencies SET money = " + (recipientBalance + Integer.parseInt(amount)) + " WHERE uuid IS " + recipient.getUniqueId().toString());

        recipient.sendMessage(MetricCraft.prefix + ChatColor.WHITE + "You've received " + amount + "$ from " + ChatColor.GREEN + sender.getName() + ChatColor.WHITE + ".");
        sender.sendMessage(MetricCraft.prefix + ChatColor.WHITE + "You sent " + ChatColor.GREEN + recipient.getName() + " " + amount + ChatColor.WHITE + "$.");
    }```

This should work, right ?

[mortal hare]

use prepared statements

this seems vulnerable to sql injection exploits

[quaint mantle]

I just started with sql today

[mortal hare]

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jdbc/basics/prepared.html

if people managed to inject some sql related query text into those variables (like recipientBalance), they can literally wipe your SQL table or make infinite amounts of cash

[quaint mantle]

Is it possible ?

[mortal hare]

it could be impossible

but you shouldnt trust your senses

of what's possible

its just not worth it

[quaint mantle]

You're right.

Can you help me in DMs, if you want to, and if you're free ofc.

[mortal hare]

Its late for me (1AM) and its alr monday so I'm gonna probs sleep soon since i need to get up at 7 AM

so can't really help much

[quaint mantle]

so do i just replace the normal statements with prepared ones ?

[mortal hare]

it requires more than that, I suggest you reading that doc, so you would understand how that works

[random kestrel]

Hey quick question, does someone know how to retrieve a list of all ids and those that are usable for BlockData?

[mortal hare]

instead of using string appending for your queries you create query format string, for example:

statement.execute("UPDATE currencies SET money = " + (recipientBalance + Integer.parseInt(amount)) + " WHERE uuid IS " + recipient.getUniqueId().toString());

would turn into

PreparedStatement statement = con.prepareStatement("UPDATE currencies SET money = ? WHERE uuid IS ?");
statement.setInt(1, Integer.parseInt(amount);
statement.setString(2, recipient.getUniqueId().toString());

by doing that you're letting the SQL implementation classes to clear your variable data if they contain malicious SQL query code, leaving harmless data in place

[sterile token]

why commit?

isnt executeUpdate()

[mortal hare]

i haven't used sql for a while don't blame me

[sterile token]

dont worry

executeUpdate() => for update
executeQuery() => for getting data

hich?

Also what means blame?

[mortal hare]

nvm wrong source

you should call execute(), executeUpdate() or executeQuery(), in this case executeUpdate()

[quaint mantle]

I'm getting an error from the uuid

coz it has -

if(result.getString("uuid").equalsIgnoreCase("\"" + recipient.getUniqueId().toString())) recipientBalance = result.getFloat("money");```

How do I implement it in here?

[civic dagger]

so whats the best way to store some data on a item? for example when you wanna create a custom item that triggers when you right click you check if its the custom item or not with ItemMeta but they arent always a good solution and now i need another way i think i can use NBT data but i dont think its the best way to do it

[eternal oxide]

?pdc

[undone axle]

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

[civic dagger]

thanks

[quaint mantle]

@eternal oxide

would be able to help me please ?

[quaint mantle]

I need help with this

[eternal oxide]

That wiki is fine

[crisp steeple]

the actual uuid wont have the " in it when you get it

you just use that to avoid sql injections

[kind hatch]

When you use it depends on what you need. If you need "metadata" or even just extra data on an item, it's recommend to use the pdc.

[crisp steeple]

but you shouldnt really use \" either

because then they could just inject with a "

[quaint mantle]

Then how do I inject he uuid?

[crisp steeple]

use a parameter

the ?

[quaint mantle]

how would you do it ?

[eternal oxide]

always use prepared statements and it will prevent injection attacks

[quaint mantle]

Could you give me a small code snippet ?

[radiant cedar]

how can I make in blockbreakevent the breaker of the block is the owner of the item that drops

[eternal oxide]

it correctly wraps and parses the values

[crisp steeple]

statement.setInt(1, int)

[crisp steeple]

yeah

[radiant cedar]

I was thinking of going the way to cancel the drop and actually spawn the item there with the breaker se to the owner of it

[crisp steeple]

owner as in?

[radiant cedar]

but I dont think u can just create an Item

[crisp steeple]

use pdc most likely

[kind hatch]

get the drop and assign some data to it. Then compare players with the pickup event.

[crisp steeple]

#setDrops

[radiant cedar]

like Item#setOwner

[crisp steeple]

that isnt a thing

[quaint mantle]

Ik but I need to fix this rn, I'm slowly learning how to use sql

[radiant cedar]

it is bro

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

[eternal oxide]

then learn the correct way to do it

String concatenation is not to be used with sql

[quaint mantle]

so if I use the prepared statements it will automatically do it for me, right ?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[quaint mantle]

So I won't have a problem with the - anymore ?

[eternal oxide]

teh - in a UUID is always there

[crisp steeple]

look at silly 1.8 me

[quaint mantle]

Well yes.

[eternal oxide]

unless you are querying mojang or something

[quaint mantle]

But there's a problem with normaly storing it.

[crisp steeple]

well then yeah just make a new itemstack and set its owner to the uuid you want

then setDrops

[eternal oxide]

it gets stored as a string so it should maintain the -

[quaint mantle]

Well time to learn it then, thank you for the recomentation man!

[crisp steeple]

if you use the parameter it shouldnt

[radiant cedar]

but itemstacks cant have owner

Items can

[crisp steeple]

oh

uh

im not sure then tbh

what you could do

[eternal oxide]

Yep, prepared statement and adding the UUID using statement#setString

[crisp steeple]

is just cancel the event and then set the blocks type to air

then spawn an item naturally at that spot

[radiant cedar]

yes but u cant make ur own Item i think

u can make ItemStack

atleast im trying and cant seem to figure out

[crisp steeple]

World#dropItemNaturally

then in the consumer give the the item the owner

[radiant cedar]

right now i have this

but u cant make new Item

i think

[crisp steeple]

.

[eternal oxide]

you don't create Items

you do create ItemStacks

[radiant cedar]

ye thas what im saying

but then I cant set owner for itemstack

i can set for Item

[eternal oxide]

How you do it all depends on how nice you want it.

[crisp steeple]

World#dropItemNaturally...

[eternal oxide]

eg, you could just insert all the drops into teh block breaking players inventory

[radiant cedar]

ye but eh want it drop

[eternal oxide]

then stop any drops happening

[radiant cedar]

lemme tes tthis

[eternal oxide]

if you want it to drop you have to modify each item in teh drop item event or in teh block break event and mark the item with the players UUID

then in teh pickup event you check each item tht tries to be picked up

Quite complex if you are at the level of being unsure how to create ItemStacks

[sharp flare]

#setOwner does the job of preventing others from picking up the item unless the uuid is equal to that dropped item

[radiant cedar]

ik but its hard to do it from blockbreakevent

cus u cant get Item of the block but u cant setOwner for ItemStack

[sharp flare]

After breaking the block, get the dropped entity item, and do setOwner

[radiant cedar]

how to get the dropped entity item

[crisp steeple]

cancel the event -> set the block type to air -> get the location of the block and do World#dropItemNaturally(location, itemstack, (item) -> item.setOwner(owner))

[eternal oxide]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/block/BlockDropItemEvent.html

[sharp flare]

I'm not in my pc rn so can't check

[radiant cedar]

this is good

ty bro

[eternal oxide]

I didn;t know they had added a setOwner on Items

[shadow gazelle]

So now I have an issue of not being able to actually apply the higher level enchantments with my plugin

Is there anything in the anvil event to get rid of the limit of 40 levels, or increase it?

I see you can remove the limit

But what about increasing it?

Nevermind, found it

[quaint mantle]

interesting

[torn shuttle]

before I go out of my way to do it is there an easy way to get all the enums from the api for a given page without me having to write a parser or doing it manually?

[quaint mantle]

Does anyone know how to import another project I made with gradle into my current gradle project?

[eternal oxide]

page?

[torn shuttle]

yeah like https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Material.html#ACACIA_BOAT

I need to get the api values for a webapp I'm making and uh

there's a lot

[crisp steeple]

are you just trying to get a json list of all the materials?

[torn shuttle]

and when I say get I mean hardcode, I'm not going to be accessing that page every time that would just be mean of me

[torn shuttle]

I'd be fine with any kind of text really, this is just so I can add them to a dropdown list on the webapp

[quaint mantle]

ive been on this for hours. cant figure it out. any ideas?

[crisp steeple]

i made something a while ago that parsed an entire enum into json

although now that i think about it using gson probably wouldve been simpler

[torn shuttle]

oh actually let me check something

[crisp steeple]

like a jar?

or an actual project

[quaint mantle]

an actual project

its another gradle project

[crisp steeple]

hm

[torn shuttle]

ah damn it decompiled materials also don't give me a clean list

[radiant cedar]

How can I change the ItemMeta of an ItemStack if the amount of the ItemStack changes (ItemStack in inventory)

[eternal oxide]

Too many actions can affect a stack size

[radiant cedar]

when pickup lets say

[eternal oxide]

Tell us what you are trying to do and we can probably tell you a better method

[radiant cedar]

and an itemstack size changes

I have a yml of set materials and prices for them

so I wanna update the itemmeta

to the total price of that stack

but it can be siz 9 or 64 or whateverf

[eternal oxide]

calculate the total when you need to, not every time the size changes

[radiant cedar]

which is when u open inventory... OOHHH

ty ❤️

[torn shuttle]

(function() {
    'use strict';
    const values = document.getElementsByClassName("member-name-link");
    let parsedStrings = [];

    for (var element in values) {
       parsedStrings.push(values[element]['innerHTML'])
    }
    console.log(parsedStrings);
})();

Because I'm lazy I worked around parsing the api with tampermonkey, feel free to steal this. It outputs all enums on the page to console in a way that can be used elsewhere pretty easily.

oh oops looks like it has a little bit of contamination lol

[radiant cedar]

anyone know why this wont trigger?

the system prints

i press E to open INV but it never actually gets triggered

[ebon coral]

How do I replace a string with a component in a component?

[solemn gulch]

why does getKiller exist on the player and not the playerdeathevent

[delicate lynx]

good question

[torn shuttle]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[torn shuttle]

alright if anyone cares to this script on greasemonkey / tampermonkey will add a download button to the top of the spigot api page which you can click to download a yml file containing all of the enum values, excluding things tagged as "LEGACY" because I don't want that
https://paste.md-5.net/jejasomuda.js
a very specific tool for an issue that I've had more than once tbh

[ebon coral]

How do I use the component's showItem hover?

[crisp steeple]

you cant check when a player opens their own inventory unfortunately

that's client side

[crisp steeple]

also just made this thing like a minute ago to do the same thing but for jar files lol

[limpid junco]

Code: ```java
package hello.ello;

import hello.commands.GUICommand;
import hello.events.ClickEvent;
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public final class Ello extends JavaPlugin {

@Override
public void onEnable() {
    this.getCommand("spacepowers").setExecutor(new GUICommand());
    getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new ClickEvent(), this);



}

}```

[dusk flicker]

use a paste

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[limpid junco]

ok

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

idk how this thing works anymore

it used to make sense

[crisp steeple]

thank you for the code

not exactly sure what you want us to do with this but sure

[limpid junco]

umm

Did you read the error?

I mean

it was in the link

[crisp steeple]

ah

didnt realize there was a deleted message

[limpid junco]

o

[eternal oxide]

spacepowers command is not in your plugin.yml

[crisp steeple]

^

[limpid junco]

ummm

wait

one sec

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

thats my plugin .yml

[eternal oxide]

then thats not the same plugin.yml that is actually in the jar you are testing

[limpid junco]

Thats wierd

both of those files are in the main directory

[eternal oxide]

open the jar you are testing with any archive program (7-zip)

check teh actual plugin.yml that is inside the jar

[limpid junco]

ok

its in there

I openned it too

its the exact same thing

[eternal oxide]

drop your jar in here

[limpid junco]

ok

wait

do I need to be verified for that?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[limpid junco]

oof

ok

[radiant cedar]

@crisp steeple is it normal for the server to be around 4-6gb memory use

[crisp steeple]

uh

idk tbh

[dusk flicker]

what ver, with what plugins

[crisp steeple]

sounds like a bit much but im not really an expert on ram usage

[radiant cedar]

my

[dusk flicker]

so descriptive

[radiant cedar]

my plugin

made multiverses

maybe us of that

[dusk flicker]

what ver

[radiant cedar]

what

[dusk flicker]

minecraft version

[radiant cedar]

1.18.2

[dusk flicker]

hop in #help-server and i'll do more there

[limpid junco]

there

[eternal oxide]

looks fine to me. It shoudl work fine with a 2 space indent. change it to the standard 4 to be sure

[limpid junco]

What line should have a two space indent?

[ivory flume]

How do I turn off people from using a locked in the off hand?

[eternal oxide]

the indentation on commands and all after

[limpid junco]

ok

[eternal oxide]

multiples of 4

[ivory flume]

theres certain items i put on inventories that can't be moved, and i want to fix a bug where they move it via using the off hand

[wraith marsh]

heya im trying to make a plugin that includes a PlayerBedEnterEvent but it doesnt seem to be listening, i have the eventhandler annotation, implemented listener and registered the class

[dry forum]

does a task automatically delete once its done executing? like if i had a runnable execute 2 seconds later would it delete itself once it runs everything?

[wind tulip]

Hey, if I'm using a scheduler inside of a library, do I pass the library's plugin for the parameter or do I pass the main project's?

[eternal oxide]

a library doesn;t have a Plugin instance. You pass yours

[eternal oxide]

If they are runTask they run once. So not repeating

[dry forum]

so once its run once they wont run again? and the variable it was stored in is cleared/deleted?

[eternal oxide]

yes, Tasks are cleaned up once done (with GC)

[dry forum]

ight ty

[eternal oxide]

add sysout commenting to see if yoru code is running

[wraith marsh]

i tried that

didnt work

[wind tulip]

Here's the code from the library, however idek if I'm getting the plugin instance right

[eternal oxide]

your plugin instance is this as the code is in your main class

[wind tulip]

it needs to be static

[eternal oxide]

You can;t initialise your static plugin like that.

[wraith marsh]

i tried that already

[wind tulip]

well "this" on its own is not static apparently

oh

[eternal oxide]

on your last line, change the plugin to this

[wind tulip]

yeah, that gives a syntax error

'me.wonk2.DFSpigotLib.this' cannot be referenced from a static context

[eternal oxide]

because yoru method is static it wants a static reference

[wraith marsh]

remove the static before playsounds

[eternal oxide]

is this a library? as you have no onEnable or anything

[wind tulip]

it is

[wind tulip]

library methods have to be static iirc

[wraith marsh]

oh

[eternal oxide]

then you shoudl not be extending JavaPlugin as this is not a plugin

[dusk flicker]

oh what the fuck

[wind tulip]

I was looking at some forum posts online to figure out how to make the plugin instance, and I came across that

so I guess it's not needed then

[eternal oxide]

no, your library shoudl not care who is accessing it. They should provide their plugin instance in any method calls which require one

This playSounds method seems more appropriate for a utility class rather than a library

[dusk flicker]

also

?conventions

[undone axle]

Java Coding Conventions: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/codeconventions-namingconventions.html

[wind tulip]

the method is using pascal case 🙄

oh

[dusk flicker]

yeah thats the issue

[wind tulip]

nvm

[eternal oxide]

he's commenting on your TreeMaps

[dusk flicker]

i was commenting on all of it tbh lol

[eternal oxide]

lol

[eternal oxide]

add sysout comments to see IF yoru code is running

[dusk flicker]

should be camelCase rather than PascalCase

[wraith marsh]

i already tried that

[eternal oxide]

and?

[wraith marsh]

it doesnt register the listener

well it just doesnt listen

[wind tulip]

I basically just use camel case for variables and pascal case for methods

[eternal oxide]

then we'll need to see some code

[wind tulip]

naming conventions are just practices for most people

[dusk flicker]

aka how to never get a job in industry

[wind tulip]

You really think they're gonna care that I capitalize the first letter in a method's name

pfft

[dusk flicker]

yes

If what you are doing is only for you; sure I understand that, but being that is is a library and others will be using it you should follow the standard conventions

[eternal oxide]

Don't get a job in "the Industry". Everyone becomes a dick when theyr ego inflates.

[wraith marsh]

no embed perms

[dusk flicker]

get verified and you can, or just send it in a paste

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[eternal oxide]

um, you are going to have to elaborate

ah embed

[wraith marsh]

ye

[eternal oxide]

use the paste link or verify

[shadow gazelle]

Never mind, my idea doesn't work. Is there any other way to change the maximum enchantment cost? I just get this and can't take the complete sword when I set the maximum to a higher value.

[wraith marsh]

can i use hastebin instead

[dusk flicker]

yeah, up to you

[wraith marsh]

alr

[dusk flicker]

iirc this is clientsided, dont quote me on that as Ive never looked into it but I remember someone saying that

[wraith marsh]

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/poxumoqegu.java

[shadow gazelle]

There's a plugin that somehow allows it, but I'm looking for a specific usage and it can't do that

[wind tulip]

oh also yes ik I was asking how to get a static instance of the plugin

[wraith marsh]

main class:https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/jopiwajine.java

[dusk flicker]

decompile that plugin then lol

toptal murdered my boy

[eternal oxide]

You can't get one at class init but using the Bukkit method is fine

[wind tulip]

the one I was using before?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[dusk flicker]

what a plugin name lmao

[eternal oxide]

just not how you are doing it

[dusk flicker]

lol what https://cdn.rackdevelopment.tech/img/hU27F7q4wF.png

[eternal oxide]

all static items in a class are initialized at class load. Which is before teh plugin loads

[shadow gazelle]

bruh

It's not like anyone can even do anything with your IP

[dusk flicker]

Can you add sysouts at all if statements in your listener, including one at the start to see if its actually firing

I cant see a reason that it wouldent work

[shadow gazelle]

DoSing or DDoSing is illegal and you'd get banned from pretty much every ISP you try to get

[dusk flicker]

tell that to the tons of people that DoS lmao

[kind hatch]

That's what proxies are for. :/

You should care more about your IP being leaked. Just because it's illegal doesn't mean that people are going to stop doing it.

It's a pain in the ass to get your IP changed sometimes.

[shadow gazelle]

What reason does anyone have to DDoS you, though?

[dusk flicker]

people are weird

[wind tulip]

is this good?

[shadow gazelle]

that's true

But unless you're going around pissing people off, pretty much no one's going to

[kind hatch]

Me personally, none. At least to my knowledge, but even then. Why ignore best practices? Just because you may not be a target doesn't mean that you might not be in the future.

[eternal oxide]

The method call is fine, but not doing it a a Field

I've been a dev as long as Spigot has existed. They have never ddos'd me.

[shadow gazelle]

Any websites you go to gets it too ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[kind hatch]

Besides, it becomes more than just your IP at a certain point. If you aren't careful, you could become part of a botnet without realizing it.

Or install something unknowingly.

[wind tulip]

like this then?

[eternal oxide]

Yes, if you have a plugin of that name

[wind tulip]

that is the library name

[eternal oxide]

then no, its not a plugin

[kind hatch]

Any reason you can't call JavaPlugin#getPlugin()

[wind tulip]

well if I'm not supposed to extend JavaPlugin then how do I do this

[kind hatch]

Oh, it's not a plugin.

[eternal oxide]

It requires a plugin instance. Your library is not a plugin

[dusk flicker]

you could just, being an api, get it through a method var

[wind tulip]

so instead of using a library I should use an utility class?

[eternal oxide]

as it is a library you could use teh SheduledExecutorService

yes util method

the code you currently have is not really apropriate for its own lib

[wind tulip]

I'm translating JSON representing a custom programming language to Spigot Code, I wanted to make this a library to make the code more readable for people that use it (Instead of having one big class at the bottom)

[eternal oxide]

then your methods need to ask them for a plugin instance (when required) or use Javas ScheduledExecutorService instead of BukkitRunnables

[wind tulip]

well since I can't use the library as a plugin, do I pass the main project's (the one that uses the library) plugin instance to the method?

[eternal oxide]

yes

[wind tulip]

Thanks. that's what I've been meaning to ask all along lol

[wraith marsh]

@eternal oxide i sent the files

or hastebin links*

[wraith marsh]

i did that already, it didnt work

[eternal oxide]

Yes, Rack told you to add sysouts before each if statement

[waxen plinth]

"it didn't work"

What happened

[wraith marsh]

i removed the whole code after the method and only added sysout

[waxen plinth]

Don't say "it didn't work" say what happened vs what you expected to happen

[wraith marsh]

it just doesnt show up

[waxen plinth]

Ok so your event listener is not being called

[eternal oxide]

if you got absolutely no output then chect your startup log for errors. your plugin doesn;t sound like it's even running

[wraith marsh]

no errors nothing

it is the other listener works

its just that specific listener that gives no output

[eternal oxide]

show us the listener with your debug in it

[wraith marsh]

kk

ill send all three

main: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/jopiwajine.java
https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/poxumoqegu.java
https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/moluqecule.java

dont question what i wrote in the third class

[eternal oxide]

I see no debug messaging

[wraith marsh]

uh wdym?

[kind hatch]

No souts or getLogger()

[wraith marsh]

yeah but the bedevent is the only listener thats not doing anything

[kind hatch]

Well that probably means that the criteria for this line of code isn't being met.
e.getBedEnterResult() == PlayerBedEnterEvent.BedEnterResult.OK

[eternal oxide]

use dependency injection instead of trying to import a static reference

new PlayerSleepListener(this)

[golden kelp]

Staaaatic abooze

[wraith marsh]

oh ive never done that

ill watch a tutorial on it

thanks

[eternal oxide]

?di

[undone axle]

Guide to dependency injection: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/using-dependency-injection/

[wraith marsh]

ah

but on what line?

im not really understanding

im using static reference on the task scheduler

[eternal oxide]

read teh basic concept from that wiki link

[wraith marsh]

alright

on both listeners or only the bed enter event?

[eternal oxide]

only your bed enter uses a plugin reference

[wraith marsh]

you mean the getPlugin method?

public void onPlayerSleep(PlayerBedEnterEvent e) {
  System.out.println("a");
}

ive tried this

with the static reference

[eternal oxide]

and you see the a?

[wraith marsh]

nope

[eternal oxide]

yep

[wraith marsh]

?

[eternal oxide]

use Dependency Injection to pass a reference of yoru plugin

[wraith marsh]

k

[fallow violet]

i need help

How can i save a bukkitrunnable for later?

[drowsy helm]

can make it a class

that extends BukkitRunnable

[fallow violet]

an then?

the basic stuff?

[drowsy helm]

whats the context

you could always just store it as a variable

[fallow violet]

I mean i can just write the methd then?

[round agate]

make a class extends the runnable then store it somewhere else. when you want to run it just call the run method

[eternal oxide]

What do you mean by "save it for later"?

[fallow violet]

I want to cancel it from outside

like this?

[eternal oxide]

when you start a task you shoudl get an id returned

using that id you can cancel the task using the scheduler

[fallow violet]

yes but no

xd

but it works thanks

[wraith marsh]

i cant get it to work

ill watch a tutorial instead and see if i can follow that instead lol

[fallow violet]

wdym?

[wraith marsh]

it didnt work

still nothing

[eternal oxide]

show what you did

[wraith marsh]

alright

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/ohidisofit.java
https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/nojijokebu.java

[eternal oxide]

looks fine

[wraith marsh]

the other listeners are working as intended

[eternal oxide]

I see nothing wrong in that code

[solemn gulch]

is there a way to check if a creature is undead (like if smite affects them)

[wraith marsh]

should i screenshare to make sure?

[eternal oxide]

No real point. Theres nothing wrong in that code. The sleep listner has no reason not to work

[wraith marsh]

so what do i do?

[eternal oxide]

I assume you get your custom enabled message at startup

and your custom join message

[wraith marsh]

yup

[random kestrel]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/LivingEntity.html#getCategory()

[eternal oxide]

does yoru consume listener do anything?

[wraith marsh]

wanna see config.yml?

yes

its questionable for what it does but yes it works as intended

[eternal oxide]

Then I see absolutely nothing wrong. unless you failed to build the new jar or didn't correctly update the version on your test server

[wraith marsh]

oh right

ill see if somethings wrong with that

does reload confirm make a difference?

[eternal oxide]

it may. Restart

[wraith marsh]

okay see you when the sun explodes

wait what

that was the issue all along

no way lmao

LMAOO i was uploading the file to the host but i wasnt deleting the old one so it doesnt replace it

[random kestrel]

classic

[wraith marsh]

welp im just glad i got to resolve the issue and learn constructor injection
thanks elgarl see ya next time

[cinder thistle]

that's a vibe

[golden kelp]

zhe vibe

[dry reef]

how to make this?
I can't think of anything
How can a single text chat be partially colored?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aWx3bGbyf4

[kindred valley]

I fixed all the prob by using scanner.nextLine(); before inputting

scanner.nextInt(); does not creating a new line

[drowsy helm]

it can be done using resource packs and negative set unicode characters

[dry reef]

Then, is it right to make each dot using the font of the resource pack and specify the color for each dot separately?

[drowsy helm]

yeah the actual resource pack only has to be white

chat colour will colour it for you

[dry reef]

Then we'll have to add 64 Unicode to the resource pack

8*8

[drowsy helm]

realistically you only need 1 unicode charcater and 8 negatively spaced characters

[dry reef]

i don't have undertstand

[drowsy helm]

you just need 1 unicode character which is 1x1 white pixel

[dry reef]

yeap

[drowsy helm]

then 8 negative spaced characters, (-8, -7, -6 etc)

[dry reef]

hmm okay i try

[drowsy helm]

to position the pixel

but its really inefficient

and uses up chat length

[leaden nebula]

Hi, I would like to manage the nms well and I wonder if anyone knows of a mapping viewer site

[echo granite]

Or you can use an anonymous inner class and call its cancel() method within the run()

This is actually what you should do

[glossy venture]

you cant use method sfrom the class in a lambda

so youd have to make it an anonymous inner class

[golden kelp]

hi guys, i am making a plugin rn for 1.18. Id also like to run it in 1.8 if that possible. Do i need to make the same plugin twice or is there some hacky workaroud

[glossy venture]

you could use multple modules

have a

plugin-base
``` with the code

using a

VersionProxy
``` interface or whatever

and then implement that in different modules for different versions

[golden kelp]

can you elaborate

also, how does one make an array of objects in YAML

myRootObj:
  - objOne:
      objData: "never gonna give you up"
      objDataSecond: "rick astley"
  - objTwo:
      objData: "never gonna give you up"
      objDataSecond: "rick astley"

smth like dis?

[crimson terrace]

you could theoretically use json

just to give another option

[golden kelp]

i mean, i dont think anyone would want to use json for spigot plugins, as YAML is what a lot of server owners are comfortable with

[glossy venture]

so, lets say youre making a plugin to spawn an entity or something and in 1.8 you want to use armor stands, and in 1.18 you use area effect clouds

you have a structure like

plugin-base
  - src/main/java/me/myplugin
    - Bootstrap.java
    - VersionProxy.java
plugin-v1_8_8
  - src/main/java/*
plugin-v_1_18_2
  - src/main/java
``` in this case, the `Bootstrap.java` file contains a class extending `JavaPlugin`, and has a method to get the version proxy, like so:
```java
public abstract class Boostrap extends JavaPlugin {
  public abstract VersionProxy getVersionProxy();

  // all of your other logic
  // you can implement the rest here
}

since we want entity spawning,, we create a class

public interface VersionProxy {
  Entity spawnMarker(Location loc);
}

then, in each version module, you shade/shadow the base into the jar and implement the plugin using the Boostrap class. this is also where you would define your plugin.yml, this is so you can implement the VersionProxy class and pass it, like so:

public class Boostrap_1_8_8 extends Bootstrap {
  public static class Version_1_8_8 implements VersionProxy {
    @Override
    public Entity spawnEntity(Location loc) {
      // do logic
    }
  }

  @Override
  public Version_1_8_8 getVersionProxy() {
    return new Version_1_8_8();
  }
}

lol long af

[golden kelp]

bruh u did that 💀

thanks <3

[glossy venture]

lmao

np

[golden kelp]

i was like, what is this guy doing

[echo granite]

The lambda is an instance of Runnable and not BukkitRunnable, which you need an instance of in order to cancel itself during running

That's why I'm proposing an anonymous class

[unique spoke]

hey guys
i have a question, how to add gravity to EntityPlayer? (npc) with nms

can anyone help ?

[radiant cedar]

guys how can I make it so that when I press Install in maven

I can save these

ymls to a specified folder

[lost matrix]

Why do you want them to be placed in a specified folder? They get packed into your jar at the end.

[lost matrix]

They should already have gravity.

*Unless they are packet based.

[unique spoke]

yes they are packet based

and i dont wanna use any npc library

[lost matrix]

Then you need to calculate the gravity yourself and send a bunch of update packets to every observer.

how can I get all the portals?

[radiant cedar]

Oh wait then how should I access to them

[earnest forum]

make a new Location(x,y,z)

[radiant cedar]

Cus rn I do new File(path)

[golden kelp]

No no, I know that, I mean how can I read them from the config

[lost matrix]

Access to do what?

[radiant cedar]

How should I read those files

[lost matrix]

This is a List of X
How do you save them?

[earnest forum]

use Config#getInt("portals.startCords.x")

for y and z as well

FileConfiguration#getInt

[radiant cedar]

Cus rn I do new File((A_PATH_ON_MY_COMPUTER)

[golden kelp]

They are in the config

[golden kelp]

Ohh

How can I get each startCord section then?

like an array of all of them

[lost matrix]

Yeah. No. Thats not how yml works.

[golden kelp]

f u c k

then?

[lost matrix]

Again: How do you create them?
Because this is a List of X

[earnest forum]

get the config section of "portals" and then loop through

using ConfigurationSection#getKeys

[golden kelp]

wait a second

ill show my whole config

[lost matrix]

use saveResource in JavaPlugin to save them to disk when ther server starts

[golden kelp]

that will help us

portals:
  - startCords:
      x: 69
      'y': 69

    endCords:

          duration: 69
          level: 4

thats my whole config

[earnest forum]

what are the dashes for?

[lost matrix]

My guy, ive said it 3 times now: You cant look through keys here. It is a yml List

[earnest forum]

this part is incorrect

[golden kelp]

thats how you make an list right?

[radiant cedar]

If they are packed in the jar

[golden kelp]

f u c k

[radiant cedar]

What is the path to them

[golden kelp]

fock

[earnest forum]

i didnt realise

mb

[golden kelp]

how should I make an array of objects then?

[earnest forum]

FileConfiguration#getList()?

i think thats a thing

[golden kelp]

O

ty

[lost matrix]

Alright do what you want... sigh

[golden kelp]

that returns an ArrayList<ConfigurationSection?

[golden kelp]

Mb, what should I do then?

[radiant cedar]

Bro just do like
Portals
portal1:
whatever info for portal 1
portal2:
whatever info for portal 2

No?

[golden kelp]

Aight

yaml is pretty confusing xd

[earnest forum]

im not sure if you can do lists like that

with their own info

[radiant cedar]

No u dont

[earnest forum]

dont quote me on that tho

[radiant cedar]

But u can get each info

For each portal

[earnest forum]

yea if u use config sections like that

[radiant cedar]

And then create the objects

[earnest forum]

and THEN you can use getKeys

[radiant cedar]

And place them in list after

[golden kelp]

portals:
  - portalOne:
      startCords:
        x: 69
        'y': 69
        z: 69
      endCords:
        x: 169
        'y': 69
        z: 169
      replace: true
      block: STONE
      rewards:
        commands:
          - "/give %p% dumbItem"
          - "/kill %p%"
        items:
          - GOLDEN_SWORD
          - DIAMOND_SWORD
        potionEffects:
          - name: FIRE_RESISTANCE
            duration: 69
            level: 4
            particles: true
          - name: FIRE_RESISTANCE
            duration: 69
            level: 4
            particles: true
  - portalTwo:
      startCords:
        x: 69
        'y': 69
        z: 69
      endCords:
        x: 169
        'y': 69
        z: 169
      replace: true
      block: STONE
      rewards:
        commands:
          - /give %p% dumbItem
          - /kill %p%
        items:
          - GOLDEN_SWORD
          - DIAMOND_SWORD
        potionEffects:
          - name: FIRE_RESISTANCE
            duration: 69
            level: 4
          - name: FIRE_RESISTANCE
            duration: 69
            level: 4

[radiant cedar]

U dont need -

I think

[golden kelp]

o

i m so dumb

[radiant cedar]

Idk myself I started using them yesterday

But I have like 13 ranks with name, bounding box, cost and whatnot

All saved and works perfeclty

[earnest forum]

portals:
  portal1:
    coords:
      x: 111
  portal2:
    coords:
      x: 112

for (ConfigurationSection section : config.getConfigurationSection("portals").getKeys(false)){
  player.sendMessage(section.getInt("coords.x");
}


returns:

111

112

[radiant cedar]

Also of u dont mind me asking why is it ‘y’

[earnest forum]

getKeys returns all the keys inside of the config section

so that returns a list of "portal1" and "portal2"

[radiant cedar]

Ye so then u can do for each portal

Get keys

Which u get the info for each portal

[earnest forum]

yea

[golden kelp]

I think y is a synnonym for true, so I need to wrap it in string

but i am not sure, i saw it in an online formatter

[radiant cedar]

Isnt it just y location

[earnest forum]

just do y

you don't need the quotations

[lost matrix]

This is your general structure.
Now before we can give you any meaningful advise you should answer my question:
How do you generate your yml data?

[golden kelp]

I just wrote it myself

[earnest forum]

i think he's just typed it in

yeah

[golden kelp]

and then the server owner can change it for their needs

[earnest forum]

a program can't write that

look at my example vinesh

[earnest forum]

.

[golden kelp]

oo

ty

[earnest forum]

i reckon its easier than lists

[lost matrix]

Then the memory representation of "portals" is a List<ConfigurationSection>

[golden kelp]

ty

[radiant cedar]

@lost matrix i am still very confused on how to open the ymls insid the jar

[earnest forum]

look at a tutorial

[radiant cedar]

Cus rn I have them all in a folder in my computer and

[earnest forum]

for custom yaml files

[radiant cedar]

Thats where I take data from

[lost matrix]

You dont. Save them to your plugin folder and open them there.

[golden kelp]

ArrayList<ConfigurationSection> portals = (ArrayList<ConfigurationSection>) vClasses.getConfig()
    .getConfigurationSection("portals")
    .getValues(false);
