[vestal dome]

idk

since you're running that in a server, you should specify the file in your plugin's data folder.

[harsh totem]

how do i do that

[vestal dome]

wel

well

on your plugin's main instance you can do "getDataFolder"

[harsh totem]

'getDataFolder()' cannot override 'getDataFolder()' in 'org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin'; overridden method is final

[kindred valley]

what is the best economy plugin

[harsh totem]

search in the spigot website

[kindred valley]

can i pass respawn screen on death?

[tardy delta]

why are you saving your mutes in a json file and not a yaml one?

[quiet ice]

At that point you could simple take the absence or presence of the file as sufficent for the boolean

probably a lot more atomic than the other variants

[kindred valley]

i cant get target file after running the maven

[tardy delta]

doing mvn package?

[kindred valley]

yes

[tardy delta]

build errors?

[kindred valley]

no

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[kindred valley]

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

[tardy delta]

or doing stuff in your pom that changes the ouput directory

[kindred valley]

no

[tardy delta]

well where is it supposed to output?

[kindred valley]

target folder?

[tardy delta]

is the build log also saying that its outputting to that place?

[fallen thunder]

Hello what's the fine methode to get a chunk ?

[tardy delta]

based on what?

[worldly ingot]

World#getChunkAt()?

[shy ridge]

I have a map with many detail for a PvP server but we want to allow players to build. Is there a plugin that stops the players from breaking the map but allows the players to place blocks and destroy blocks built by players?

[daring maple]

#help-server

[shy ridge]

Oh yeah that seems more fit, sorry.

[pastel juniper]

How can I check if a value in config file is e.g. False

[summer scroll]

FileConfiguration#getBoolean

[pastel juniper]

Ty

And if I want to check if amount is 10, what do I have to.....

[tardy delta]

do you know how to write a plugin?

[shy ridge]

Not one bit...

[fallen thunder]

p.getChunk is good ?

[worldly ingot]

I mean

I'm not sure what would imply that it's bad

[tardy delta]

just do int amount = config.getInt("your-path")

and lemme see what it will return if its not found

[ivory sleet]

0

[tardy delta]

0 ye

i dont think you want to save a file every time someone breaks a block tho, I'd say store it somewhere

[pastel juniper]

Ty

[harsh totem]

idk how to use yaml files

[tardy delta]

?yaml

smh

[worldly ingot]

JSON > YAML for data storage

[worldly ingot]

but if you're storing block breaks like this is implying (I missed out on a good chunk of conversation), database

1000%

[harsh totem]

im trying to use json but Idk how to make it work

[tardy delta]

https://bukkit.fandom.com/wiki/Configuration_API_Reference

smth liek that

[worldly ingot]

You can make use of Gson. If you do a quick search about "How to use GSON", you'll find lots of basic guides on it. How to serialize/deserialize objects and read from/write to them is all you really need

Then so long as you understand how to read from/write to files, you're good

[harsh totem]

I use json.simple

should I switch to gson?

[worldly ingot]

I mean I suppose that's an option too

[ivory flume]

If i do Player#setResourcePack but that pack (with the same hash) is already loaded

[worldly ingot]

You can use JSON Simple, but GSON has a lot more flexibility in terms of serialization, and is a bit more type-friendly

[ivory flume]

does it relaod

the pack

[tardy delta]

bump x)

[ivory sleet]

ugh

kinda against enum there

Id just have an abstract factory

(or just factory)

[latent pelican]

I want to spawn a custom mob at coordinates (1,1) instead of the players coordinates..
Code: LivingEntity mob = (LivingEntity) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(p.getLocation(), EntityType.ZOMBIE);

What shall I replace p.getLocation() with?

[tardy delta]

so factory for h2, mariadb thing and others?

[ivory sleet]

yes

you could have an abstract factory

but that might be overkill

idk the exact design of your code but ye

the big advantage with just using a factory as opposed to the coupled enum factories is mockability mostly

[humble tulip]

New location (world, x, y, z)

[tardy delta]

i was going to have a Storage implementation which handle stuff

[ivory sleet]

ig reusability also? altho thats quite far fetched

[harsh totem]

if I use this: try { Reader reader = Files.newBufferedReader(Paths.get("isMuted.json")); Map<?, ?> map = gson.fromJson(reader, Map.class); map.get(1); } catch (Exception e){ return true; }
will map.get(1); return the boolean value of the json? (the json file has only one value in it which is boolean)

or should it be map.get(0);

[worldly ingot]

Deserialize it to a JsonObject instead

(or JsonArray, depending on whether or not it's an object or an array)

[ivory sleet]

You probably wanna use try with resources for the reader

[ivory sleet]

or at least, close it (after you're done w/it)

[humble tulip]

Which is better h2 or sqlite?

[worldly ingot]

Depends on your use case

Each have pros and cons

[humble tulip]

I guess if you're reading or writing a lot h2 is better than sqlite?

[harsh totem]

how

[tardy delta]

actually i was just trying to make a class that holds a hikari datasource and has methods to get a connection
seemed that the datasource needs different stuff for each database
so maybe i will handle the initialisation of the datasource in some class that implements Storage, which has methods like connect and close instead of having different connection classes for each db and different ones for the db implementations

[worldly ingot]

JsonObject.class instead of Map.class

But again, if it's an array, use JsonArray

[tardy delta]

sorry for that bible

[harsh totem]

ok so will this return the boolean value "isMuted"?

            Map<?, ?> map = gson.fromJson(reader, JSONObject.class);
            map.get("isMuted");```

will this line return it? map.get("isMuted");

[tardy delta]

so having implementations for each database type and in the connect method, initializing the datasource too + creation of tables etc

instead of that weird enum stuff

[pastel juniper]

It worked

[tardy delta]

compare materials with ==, not with equals

unnessecary toString

[ivory sleet]

Make it void

And throw excretion on failure

[tardy delta]

yep

[harsh totem]

pls answer me

[ivory sleet]

Exception jeez autocorrect

[pastel juniper]

I trash in Java, so I don't want to change it...... if it works don't touch it

[quiet ice]

it is debatable now that materials may not be enums for long

[tardy delta]

anyways why does a HikariDatasource implements Closeable?

[ivory sleet]

I mean

[tardy delta]

wait

does calling some method that gets a datasource in a try with resources also closes it?

[ivory sleet]

Believe so

[eternal oxide]

if it implements Closeable

[tardy delta]

why would you want to close the whole datasource and not just the connection

[quiet ice]

I thought it needs to implement AutoCloseable

[ivory sleet]

Hopefully they’ll remain singletons

Fourteen on shutdown obv

Or sth

[quiet ice]

Hopefully, not doing that would make everything much worse

[ivory sleet]

Indeed

[tardy delta]

ye but i dont think the whole program is looping in a try with resources, like how would you use it then?

[latent pelican]

I want my Custom Mob (Entity Zombie) to target a specific coordinate. However, if I write:
Zombie.getNavigation().a(loc, 1.0);
The getNavigation method is marked red (Cannot resolve reference...?!)

What to do?

[quiet ice]

I recommend using mojmap

[ivory sleet]

Isn’t HikariDataSource just following the design of object pool fourteen?

[tardy delta]

connection pool ye

[humble tulip]

I dont think so

[ivory sleet]

Right so in that case close hopefully closes down and terminates the pool entirely

[humble tulip]

Unless you create a reference to it in the () of the try with

[lethal python]

is creating a private static final itemstack with custom item meta for use throughout a plugin a good thing to do or should i do something else

[ivory sleet]

There are better ways of doing it

[lethal python]

if i want to give players that item or compare and check if the item they clicked was that item

how should i be doing that

[humble tulip]

You can just keep an instance and use a getter

[lethal python]

where do i put the instance

[humble tulip]

It depends

[lethal python]

on what

[humble tulip]

Where you're using it

The entire plugin

And how you're using it

Like if it's a currency item, it could be in some sort of currency manager class

[lethal python]

i'll have a listener which checks if a player right clicked using that specific item with the custom item meta, and then somewhere else in another file i'll be giving the player one of those items

[tardy delta]

i mean i dont see a place where you would create a connectionpool in a try with resources and right after the code finishes, it closes the whole pool

[ivory sleet]

Tests

[tardy delta]

leave the pool open then but close the connections

[ivory sleet]

Unit tests specifically

[tardy delta]

hmm

[humble tulip]

Maybe in the plugin?

But again it depends

If you have multiple items maybe have a class that has getters for them

[lethal python]

what do you mean "in the plugin" surely everything i'm writing right now is "in the plugin"

where in the plugin

in the onEnable?

or in its own file or something

[kindred valley]

can i force a player to enter a bed

[humble tulip]

Plugin class

That extends javaplugin

[lethal python]

https://i.imgur.com/WHz3yqz.png

like that

static

[worldly ingot]

Yes. https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/entity/HumanEntity.html#sleep(org.bukkit.Location,boolean)

[humble tulip]

private ItemStack xyz;
public ItemStack getXyz() {
return xyz;
}

Then do plugin.getXyz();

From your listener or command class

[vestal dome]

anyone tell me how to Disable JLine

[kindred valley]

its not entering the bed

[lethal python]

https://i.imgur.com/9xZTnKw.png

is this fine to do

in the main plugin class

[worldly ingot]

With force = true? If it's false, the player won't enter the bed if they're too far, there are monsters nearby, it's night time, etc.

[lethal python]

is it good practice i mean

[worldly ingot]

Though there's also no guarantee that if you're doing it during the day that the player will stay in the bed

[kindred valley]

yes

with true its not entering the bed

[humble tulip]

If it's a global item, create it on enable and just have a getter for it

[eternal oxide]

have you tried something like -Djline.terminal=jline.UnsupportedTerminal?

[vestal dome]

yes

IT DOESN'T WORK

AND I'M IN SEVERE PAIN

REEEEEEEEEEEEE

I've even MODDED bungeecord

but it NOT WORK

[tardy delta]

lol

[vestal dome]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

[kindred valley]

anyone.

[eternal oxide]

Not sure you can replace the terminal after its started. it needs to be a startup option

[vestal dome]

but it is not created ?

like auto?

[eternal oxide]

just try it as a startup on bungee

[vestal dome]

I already DID

It did not work

[eternal oxide]

no clue then

[quiet ice]

Alternatively, just yeet jline from the deps and resolve all errors

[vestal dome]

no?

because spigot uses JLine, and if you add -nojline to the arguments

it does not use this "smart" jline

[quiet ice]

?stash Alternatively, we can take a look at how spigot does it

[undone axle]

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

[vestal dome]

I already did

and copied code

I'm so tired, of this stupid JLine bulls...

[quiet ice]

Which is basically just https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/craftbukkit/browse/src/main/java/org/bukkit/craftbukkit/Main.java#173-178
So yeah, remove jline and it will not be an issue. I do not believe that jline is a public dep anyways so it should only minimally interfere with plugins

[vestal dome]

They clearly still use JLine

I should also note to you, that I want to like, edit an already existing Bungee jar, to disable JLine because I'm using an obfuscated BungeeCord proxy, that does have some classes obfuscated.

it's a premium fork

[worldly ingot]

[vestal dome]

what nobody told me I couldn't edit it

[worldly ingot]

I'm using an obfuscated BungeeCord proxy, that does have some classes obfuscated.
it's a premium fork
idk wtf I just read

[vestal dome]

like it's obfuscated.

I cannot recompile it

bruh

[worldly ingot]

No I know what you said

but I don't understand... why that exists...

[vestal dome]

because people too damn worry about their code getting ripped

[quiet ice]

Recaf to the rescue!

[vestal dome]

Yesss

what is the rescue

[quiet ice]

Just get recaf premium

[quaint mantle]

hi babe

[humble tulip]

Wot obfuscated bungee

Whyy

[tardy delta]

its premium 😎 😎

[vestal dome]

want the name?

of the bungeecord, just bc?

[humble tulip]

Yeah why not

[vestal dome]

Aegis

[quiet ice]

Premium software be like

[tardy delta]

anyways why doesnt StorageImpl::new works where this is expected, the StorageImpl has a default constructor kinda weird to use plugin -> new StorageImpl()

[tardy delta]

why am i seeing hacked client features

[quiet ice]

Because StoreImpl::new would require a constructor that takes in plugin as an arg

[vestal dome]

Bro it's really cool and all but it doesn't help.. Because I still didn't find how to disable Jline.

[tardy delta]

meh i hate it

[quiet ice]

You need to remove all jline classes, patch up all errors that arise from it and hope that it works

Where as right now you have no arguments I assume

[vestal dome]

I have spigot to base my edits of

Don't you understand.

[tardy delta]

you are a noob basically

[graceful turret]

have you got any idea how to calculate ender pearl destination location when player throws it?

[vocal cloud]

I'm still so confused as to why you need to disable it ngl

[lusty cipher]

how could I simplify this?

        var stream = getFriendsStream()
            .filter(f -> f.getName().equals(id) || f.getName().equals(zeroedUuid));

        if (stream.count() == 1) {
            return stream.findFirst();
        } else {
            return stream.filter(f -> f.getName().equals(id)).findFirst();
        }

[daring maple]

Probably because he wants to handle stdin himself

[tardy delta]

what are you doing?

[lusty cipher]

I want to find the first entry in getFriendsStream where getName().equals(id). If that doesn't exist, I want to check if there's any entry where getName().equals(zeroedUuid) and return that if so

[graceful turret]

i think u can just remove this 'else' and leave second return statement

but it has to be outside 'if'

[lusty cipher]

in a optimal case the entry where getName().equals(zeroredUuid) should be at the end of the stream so that findFirst never returns it if another entry was not filtered

[latent pelican]

`
Player p = (Player) sender;
LivingEntity mob = (LivingEntity) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(new Location(p.getWorld(), 1.0, -60.0, 1 .0), EntityType.ZOMBIE);
Zombie z = (Zombie) mob;

        Location loc = new Location(p.getWorld(), 10.0, -60.0, 60.0);

        this.getNavigation().a(loc, 1.0);

`
Why is there an error (Cant ressolve method "getNavigation") if I want to move my mob to a certain position?

[vestal dome]

to make the Process console readable and writable,

Bruhhh

[lusty cipher]

        return getFriendsStream()
            .filter(f -> f.getName().equals(id) || f.getName().equals(zeroedUuid))
            .sorted((a, b) -> a.getName().equals(zeroedUuid) ? 1 : -1)
            .findFirst();

hmm I think this might work

I would assume sorted doesn't execute when there's only 1 element

and that conditional will make the entry which equals zeroedUuid to be at the end

[native nexus]

Does anyone know a good TOTP library or a good Authenticator API I should use!?

[tardy delta]

should i let my storage interface return futures for each database operation or make a wrapper which handles the futures?

[kindred valley]

can i block if player f5

[tardy delta]

hmm i'll probably write some classes that interact with the database and wraps futures around them

so the command stuff doesnt have to care

[native nexus]

That is a server related question

[kindred valley]

no

[native nexus]

Or client idfk

[kindred valley]

its client side i took a look

impossible

[worldly ingot]

Yeah, client sends no packet for that. No reason for it to

[quaint mantle]

Anyone got a World Creator Lib or something, that copies a world and creates it without much lag spikes ?

[vestal dome]

there is a flag you can send to prevent the player from seeing his coords in f6

and most of the info there.

I'm sure.

[left swift]

Im handling the message from the console and when the message is colored I receive weird symbol, how can I remove that symbol and get clean or colored string? I guess its the § symbol

^ I have this when I send the message to the player

[tardy delta]

how do you color it?

§aMessage for example?

[lost matrix]

1. Dont use 1.8

[vestal dome]

define 1.8

1.8 kg?

[left swift]

It's not 1.8

[tardy delta]

mc 1.8

[vestal dome]

why?

well actually

[lost matrix]

Then make sure your source files are encoded using utf-8

[vestal dome]

don't even answer me

[left swift]

I don't color it

[lost matrix]

Because its a horribly outdated piece of software with a ton of bugs that will never be fixed

[vestal dome]

I would say otherwise

but

that's my opinion

[lost matrix]

Thats not an opinion. Its factual.

[vestal dome]

I would still disagree, but it's still opinion.

[lost matrix]

Its literally not.
-> horribly outdated piece of software (support was dropped almost half a decade ago)
-> with a ton of bugs that will never be fixed (has been proven true numerous times)
To add on that:

• It lacks a ton of essential API features like PDCs
• The community is really small and shrinking, while half of it are just kids that wanna click their mouse real quick

[vestal dome]

It doesn't lack PDCs it has NBT, and most of all, Bukkit API is garbage on this version? yes, what about NMS? oh wait, It's still using the same api as it was LITERALLY UNTIL TODAY.

LITERALLY

[lost matrix]

And those are not opinions. Those are facts that support an opinion: 1.8 is bad

[lusty cipher]

7.1% really is nearly nothing

especially when every other version shown there is at max 2 years old

[lost matrix]

Oh it fell again. Last time i checked it was 7.8

[quaint mantle]

owo

I only know one server on 1.7.10

[quiet ice]

1.8 does not run natively under J17.

[vocal cloud]

The dumbest part is there really isn't anything you can't do in 1.18 that 1.8 has. It's a myth that people perpetuate cause they don't want to learn new stuff lol

[quiet ice]

If something does not run under any non-EOL java version, something is really wrong

[lost matrix]

Some more features that are simply not there:

• BoundingBoxes
• Ray tracing
• A metric ton of events
  And the list just goes on.

PlayerProfiles

[quaint mantle]

question, what about optimization between 1.8 and 1.18.2?

[vocal cloud]

uh Smile you forgot the best part. PDC

[quaint mantle]

no they didn't

[quaint mantle]

@vocal cloud

[lusty cipher]

people using 1.8 should really just acknowledge it's outdated but just stick to it because of the player base and gameplay mechanics

[vestal dome]

fun fact: they do

[vocal cloud]

Oh missed that part 👨‍🦯

[quaint mantle]

lmaoo

[quiet ice]

PDC is good and all, but not really the ultimate gamechanger

[lusty cipher]

fun fact: they obviously don't

[vestal dome]

they do

[quiet ice]

The ultimate gamechanger is the new itemstack API

[vestal dome]

bruh

[ivory sleet]

1.18.2 is quite optimized given all the additional features mojang has added, altho that does not go without saying that 1.8 can run fairly well

[lusty cipher]

@vestal dome you don't though?

[quaint mantle]

I wonder when or if mojang will concentrate on server optimization

I really hope they do one day

[lost matrix]

If you care about optimization so much you can go for Minestom.
Its 1.18 and can literally hold more players than any 1.8 or 1.7 custom fork of paper/spigot.
You can have >1000 players on a single instance if you really want to.

[lethal python]

if i've gotten a block from p.getTargetBlockExact how do i get the face the player was looking at?

[vestal dome]

I know it's outdated, but just because it's outdated, doesn't mean it is that BAD

okey, maybe a lil bit

[ivory sleet]

they do it all the time altho its not their main focus

[quiet ice]

All unmaintained software is bad after a few years

[lost matrix]

Oh yes. Thats one property of bad software: Its outdated

[quiet ice]

not bad per-se, but painful to set up

[vestal dome]

bruh

no

bad software can have tons of bugs and be supported still somehow

[lusty cipher]

so DOS is still good software in every way?

[vestal dome]

BRUH

don't take my phrase to extreme

[lethal python]

what a stupid argument

[vestal dome]

I agree

an argument

[sand frost]

Use Player#getTargetBlockFace --> https://jd.papermc.io/paper/1.18/org/bukkit/entity/LivingEntity.html#getTargetBlockFace(int)

[vestal dome]

because of opinion

[vocal cloud]

The only servers that use 1.8 are the servers that can afford to hire 100k engineers to make it better lol

[lethal python]

paper??? :0

[lost matrix]

Thats a false converse conclusion.
Just because outdated software is bad doesnt mean that up-to-date software is automatically good.

[quiet ice]

See windows

[sand frost]

I just use the paper docs but I think the method is on spigot too. Just let me quickly check it

[lethal python]

thank u for doing that

[quaint mantle]

only in paper @sand frost

I'm pretty sure

[quiet ice]

?jd-s

[undone axle]

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

[ivory sleet]

Jadss I do understand that you may like the features of 1.8, but the software itself is objectively worse than 1.18.2

[lost matrix]

Usually you want to call rayTraceBlocks.
The RayTraceResult contains information like the exact hit position and the hit BlockFace

[latent pelican]

I want to use NMS but if I import it, it cannot be found? Where do I get NMS from?

[lethal python]

wowie thank you

[sand frost]

Just checked. Sadly yes

[lost matrix]

Read the this article:
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/9-years-of-spigotmc-spigot-bungeecord-1-18-1-18-2-release.534760/

And look under Developer Notes -> NMS

[lusty cipher]

... while I have this open

[lethal python]

is that how many people use paper

[sand frost]

Yes

[lethal python]

where is sponge

surely sponge would b up there

[lusty cipher]

28.8% of all servers use Spigot
56.8% of all servers use Paper

[lusty cipher]

this is only bukkit based

[lethal python]

o ok

[vocal cloud]

A vast majority of servers use spigot plugins though.

[lethal python]

damb i don't wanna cut out almost 30% of servers :///

[quiet ice]

Sponge is on another chart

[lethal python]

i will use the raycast

[quiet ice]

They probably run outdated versions

[lusty cipher]

they only have 674 servers on right now tho

compared to the tens of thousands of spigot and paper

[sand frost]

I am impressed how Purpur has 5,6% but I actually use it myself for the performance gain

[lost matrix]

Its really not that big of a performance gain to be honest. And since paper merged purpur its gotten even smaller.

[lusty cipher]

I still specifically write for Spigot but have some stuff that additionally works with Paper. Currently it's still worth it to support it but the trend seems that that's not gonna hold on for long

[lusty cipher]

they merged tuinity*

[quiet ice]

*tuinity

[latent pelican]

Ok tnaks and where do I find the dependency or maven config??

[lost matrix]

Yes right. Too many forks out there.

[sand frost]

They did!? Is there a news artice or release note where I can see that change?

[lusty cipher]

happened a long time ago

some time last year

[sand frost]

Upsie never noticed it xD

[quiet ice]

<#492517675680006144 message> (on the paper discord)

[lusty cipher]

Starting with build #232, Paper will contain all patches and changes from Tuinity.
^ from August 2021

[sand frost]

Ah thanks! 👍

But I have a small question.
What is the best way to create an API for a BungeeCord plugin that can be accessed by a Spigot plugin?

To explain:
I made a bungeecord plugin with an api in the style of the spigot api where there are just interfaces implemented by the actual plugin. But now I need to access some of the methods in the api for my spigot plugin.
What would the best way to do this? Should I use the Plugin Messaging Channel, should I write a second API just based on the SQL database containing classes and not just interfaces or is there a even better way?

[ivory sleet]

PMC is dependent on player connections

so thats the issue w/ using pmc

[vestal dome]

you can use Socket connections

[ivory sleet]

if you have the opportunity, opt in for something like redis or rabbitmq

[vestal dome]

why Redis?

actually nvm

[lost matrix]

Would def prefer this over sockets. Sockets can get really unsafe really quick.

[vestal dome]

forget that

[ivory sleet]

redis is scalable and has a mq implementation :3

[vestal dome]

ik ik

[ivory sleet]

ye I mean if you wanna get the know-how then the DIY approach might be more interesting for ya

[quiet ice]

well unsafe is relative

[ivory sleet]

in the sense of reliability, a duct taped socket implementation is probably gonna be slightly more unsafe

[sand frost]

What does PMC stand for again? 😅

[quiet ice]

Plugin messaging channel

[sand frost]

Oh never new there is an actively used abbreviation for that 😅

[midnight shore]

Is it safe to save an encrypted password inside of an ItemStack persistent data container? Or is it easy to find

[quiet ice]

Programmers make up abbreviations on the fly

[lost matrix]

Its the first time im hearing about that too. But some are just made up on the spot like CF

[quiet ice]

afaik the pdc might get sent to the player

[ivory sleet]

^

[sand frost]

Cloud Feature?

[quiet ice]

CurseForge or CloudFlare?

[ivory sleet]

CompletableFuture?

[midnight shore]

What does afaik mean? Sorry 😢

[quiet ice]

As far as I know

[midnight shore]

Okk

[manic furnace]

How can I check if a player has a item in his mainhand?

[lost matrix]

You can also write a filter that strips the pdc from outgoing packets. Thats what i do sometimes.

[sand frost]

Never worked with redis or rabbitmq 😅 Is it easy to pick up? I don't want to go this extreme because its just for a event that will be maybe 1 - 3 months long

[lost matrix]

Player -> PlayerInventory -> getItemInMainHand()

[manic furnace]

yes but what can i check

[ivory sleet]

yeah

redis is quite easy to setup

[uneven fiber]

the item in the mainhand

[manic furnace]

what? if it is null?

[ivory sleet]

(can be a bit hard to scale horizontally sometimes)

[lost matrix]

Its an ItemStack
You can check multiple things on it.
If you want to identify custom items then you should use the PDC of the ItemStack.

[sand frost]

Check if its air?

[manic furnace]

Bc this doesn't work

[lost matrix]

Its never null

[uneven fiber]

using an if statement could work

to check the material

but im not sure

[lost matrix]

In newer versions you want to use Material#isAir()

Because there are 3 types of air

[sand frost]

this is what i meant. I just pinged the wrong message 😅

[uneven fiber]

oh lol yeah i was a little confused what you were asking hahaa

no worries

I actually have a question

[sand frost]

Just forgot that redis is a database. Why should I switch databases when the plugin is already done? Or has it big improvements or something I dont know? 😅

[uneven fiber]

Im trying to make a command where when a player crouches, they are teleported up into the air

but im having an issue that it will only teleport the player into the air if they are crouching when they call the command

[lost matrix]

What do you mean by "command"? Because you just listen for the PlayerToggleSneakEvent and launch him up

[uneven fiber]

let me send a picture

[sand frost]

You mean a command to toggle the feature and then if they sneak they will be teleported up?

[uneven fiber]

]

oh are you not allowed to send pictures

[sand frost]

I can upload stuff 🤔

[uneven fiber]

precisely

[midnight shore]

When they run the command create a Bukkit runnable, checking if the player is crouching , if it is launch it up, if it isn’t do nothing. When they are launched you can optionally cancel the task

[uneven fiber]

the issue im having right now is that only if they are crouching while they call the command, then they are teleported up

[sand frost]

Then you need for example a list of uuids where you add / remove the person if they execute the command. And in the Listener for the PlayerToggleSneakEvent you check if the player's uuid is in the list and if they are teleport them up

[midnight shore]

Or instead put their uuid In a list and when crouch event.is sent remove them from the list and launch them up. This would work as well

[lost matrix]

    fun tagAsLaunchable(player: Player) {
        player.scoreboardTags.add("GUMMY_BALL")
    }

    fun untagAsLaunchable(player: Player) {
        player.scoreboardTags.remove("GUMMY_BALL")
    }
    
    fun isTaggedAsLaunchable(player: Player): Boolean {
        return player.scoreboardTags.contains("GUMMY_BALL")
    }

Just use the scoreboard tags to tag a player

[lethal python]

if i use p.rayTraceBlocks and there are no blocks, what will the result.getHitBlock() return?

[sand frost]

There is a tag feature!? I have missed so many stuff when migrating to the lastest versions xD

[lost matrix]

it will throw an exception because its null

[ivory sleet]

not switch

[lethal python]

ok

[ivory sleet]

you can use redis just for the mq it provides

no need to use the key value db if you dont want to

[lost matrix]

Redis topics

[sand frost]

What does mq staind for again? 😅

[lost matrix]

as easy as it gets

[vestal dome]

help

[lost matrix]

https://github.com/redisson/redisson/wiki/6.-distributed-objects/#67-topic

[vestal dome]

or Jedis

[sand frost]

Is there an article or something I could use to get a look into how the feature works and some examples or so?

[sand frost]

Thanks 👍 Will take a look into it

[lost matrix]

This wiki is quite extensible

[lost matrix]

I think Jedis is inferior in every way besides code size.

[quaint mantle]

// This'll work to copy a world, right?
public static void copyDirectory(String sourceDirectoryLocation, String destinationDirectoryLocation) 
  throws IOException {
    Files.walk(Paths.get(sourceDirectoryLocation))
      .forEach(source -> {
          Path destination = Paths.get(destinationDirectoryLocation, source.toString()
            .substring(sourceDirectoryLocation.length()));
          try {
              Files.copy(source, destination);
          } catch (IOException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
      });
}```

[sand frost]

Okay but how should I use it for my problem? Is this something I need to implement in my existing plugin or do I need to create a second API with this feature? 😅

[vestal dome]

code size is not an advantage.

[lethal python]

https://i.imgur.com/LswMJqP.png
is this for finding the position of a block placed on this face?

[lost matrix]

*source file size

[lethal python]

this is in BlockFace

[lost matrix]

And it is

[quaint mantle]

World island = Bukkit.getWorld("exampleisland");
        File worldDir = world.getWorldFolder();
        String islandName = "isname";
        FileUtils.copyDirectory(worldDir, new File(worldDir.getParent(), islandName));

        WorldCreator creator = WorldCreator.name(island.getName());
        World newIsland = Bukkit.createWorld(creator);```

I wanna use this code.

[vestal dome]

it still isn't

since when

is it an advantage?

[lethal python]

is this reply to me

[sand frost]

Just use the FileUtils.copyDirectory method from Apace Commons-Io

[vestal dome]

it's not an advantage or disadvantage, it's what it is.

[quaint mantle]

could you send me a link, if u dont mind ?

[golden kelp]

I am using the PlayerMoveEvent but I want to ignore Mouse & Jump/Sneak movements

[golden kelp]

Basically just when the playeris on ground and isnt moving his mouse

[lost matrix]

Read a bit on how the class loader in java works. You will see how startup times are affected by simply having
more class files present.
Also for spigot its a very big advantage because of the max file size for plugins. (If you dont count in the runtime dependency loader)

[sand frost]

Okay I found I link that works 😅 https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/apidocs/org/apache/commons/io/FileUtils.html#copyDirectory-java.io.File-java.io.File- (Sorry for the many pings)

[vestal dome]

do you mean Milliseconds?

like 1-5 more?

[lethal python]

hello did anyone see my question

[vestal dome]

that CAN'T be an advantage...

[sand frost]

The chat is currently quite active so yes

[lost matrix]

Really depends on how the classes are initialized.

And its more in the hundreds of milliseconds

[lethal python]

i don't want to be the guy who tells people to move channel but isn't this the help channel not argument channel :x

[vestal dome]

it doesn't matter still, due to how fast computers are......

literally

[lost matrix]

Which is crucial if you design highly responsive micro services. Thats why many
get compiled to binary containers using graalvm

[lethal python]

·_ .

[vestal dome]

as far as I'm concerned... java classes get loaded to ram?????

right??

am I stupid..

[sand frost]

Please send a Link to the docs and not a image

[lethal python]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/block/BlockFace.html

here u go, i don't know what the method descriptions mean exactly

i'd like to get the block where a block will be placed if you place on a given block face

so i can spawn an entity there

[humble tulip]

Classes only get loaded once referenced some way or ther other right?

[ivory sleet]

correct

[sand frost]

I dont think these method do what you want. But I am actually to confused by the methods to help you out

[ivory sleet]

I mean the Class<T> singleton takes some memory, and some other stuff

[lethal python]

Conclure can you help

[ivory sleet]

w/?

[golden kelp]

bumpy bumpy

[humble tulip]

Block.getRelative

@lethal python

[lethal python]

how do i use that

you pass in the face?

[humble tulip]

Get thenclicked block and then use the getRaltiveMethod

Pass the face yes

[lethal python]

awesome

ty

it is fixed conclure

[humble tulip]

Np

[dusk flicker]

Is there a better way to have a timer for events? I'm thinking of just updating a set integer for the remaining time every second with the scheduler

[sand frost]

I have no prior experience to redis so would you be able to quickly explain to me how I would use this feature to solve my problem?

[ivory sleet]

redis has a mq feature

in other words, you can send and receive data

which in this case can solve your problem since it can communicate over a single jvm instance

[humble tulip]

U can schedule a task to run after x ticks or if u wanna account for lag, u can store the time in millis when u want to run whatever and check if current time is >= whatever the stored time is every second

[lethal python]

there are possible null pointer exceptions on almost everything ,_,

have to catch so much

[humble tulip]

No u don't

[lethal python]

:v

[humble tulip]

Just check if it's null

[sand frost]

So I can communicate between my Spigot Plugin and my BungeeCord Plugin? I thought they would run on different jvm instances because you need to start the spigot server and the bungeecord server independent

[dusk flicker]

if you are catching everything you are doing something wrong

[ivory sleet]

yes

exactly DerEingerostete

[humble tulip]

Sometimes you don't have to check

Like for playerinteractevent, if action is right click block

You don't habe to check if block is null

[lethal python]

like, i've done a check to make sure that getHitBlock returns something, but then it is saying that getHitBlockFace might return null

[humble tulip]

You can juet ignore the ide warnings that it is

[lethal python]

like no it won't, i already checked if there was a block

[sand frost]

Related to what? 😅 The communicating or the jvm thing

[ivory sleet]

So I can communicate between my Spigot Plugin and my BungeeCord Plugin?

[humble tulip]

Ide doesn't know everything

[ivory sleet]

you just connect to redis in both your spigot plugin and bungeecord plugin

register a subscriber for a specific channel (similar to plugin message channels) (in both your plugin instances)

and thats pretty much it

[lethal python]

so doing

RayTraceResult result = p.rayTraceBlocks(5);
            if (result != null) {
                BlockFace face = result.getHitBlockFace();
                Block relative_block = result.getHitBlock().getRelative(face);
            }

this is fine

[sand frost]

Okay so its just like the PluginMessagingChannel but more general?

[lethal python]

@humble tulip

[humble tulip]

Never worked with raytrace

[sand frost]

Do you have example for them so that I could understand the toppic a bit better. Would be really nice because I am not fully unstanding it all 😅

[lethal python]

ok

[ivory sleet]

redis is the middle man

its a db

[sand frost]

Thanks but I mean like a code example 😅 xD

[ivory sleet]

oh

well

[lethal python]

conclure i like your dog

[golden kelp]

how dare you assume their gender 😠 \s

[humble tulip]

If you know skmething can't possibly be null

[ivory sleet]

I use a library called lettuce, I can show an example using that library

[humble tulip]

You cna safely call methods on it

[ivory sleet]

[humble tulip]

If you're unsure just check ir its null

[sand frost]

Would be really nice 😍

[golden kelp]

Hey guys, I am using PlayerMoveEvent to spawn a light at the player location and remove the previous one. But this leaves some lights still there

using LightAPI

[eternal oxide]

only place a light when the player has moved a full block

[chrome beacon]

I'd use a runnable every tick instead of the move event

[golden kelp]

how do i track that

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerMove(org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerMoveEvent event) {
        if(event.getPlayer().isFlying()) return;
        if(event.getPlayer().isSneaking()) return;
        if (!(
            event.getFrom().getBlockX() == event.getTo().getBlockX()
            && event.getFrom().getBlockZ() == event.getTo().getBlockZ())) {
                Player player = event.getPlayer();
                if (vLights.getLightPlayers().containsKey(player)) {
                    vLights.getLightPlayers().get(player).setLocation(player.getLocation());
                    util.lightPlayer(player, vLights.getLightPlayers().get(player));
                }
        }
    }

[tardy delta]

why not importing

[golden kelp]

the class name is same so will cause issues

public class PlayerMoveEvent implements Listener {
    private final VLights vLights;
    private final Util util;
    
    public PlayerMoveEvent(VLights vLights) {
        this.vLights = vLights;
        util = vLights.getUtil();
    }
    
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerMove(org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerMoveEvent event) {
        if(event.getPlayer().isFlying()) return;
        if(event.getPlayer().isSneaking()) return;
        if (!(
            event.getFrom().getBlockX() == event.getTo().getBlockX()
            && event.getFrom().getBlockZ() == event.getTo().getBlockZ())) {
                Player player = event.getPlayer();
                if (vLights.getLightPlayers().containsKey(player)) {
                    vLights.getLightPlayers().get(player).setLocation(player.getLocation());
                    util.lightPlayer(player, vLights.getLightPlayers().get(player));
                }
        }
    }
}

[ivory sleet]

Okay so I wrote an abstraction, which if you want I'd give to you, but Ill just show how it might be used

class SpigotPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
  
  Messenger messenger = LettuceMessenger.create();

  @Override void onEnable() {
    messenger.bootUp();
    messenger.subscribe("myplugin:channel",reader -> {
      LOGGER.infoformat("Received '%s' from proxy", reader.readUTF());
    });
    getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new Listener(){
      @EventHandler void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e){
        messenger.publish("myplugin:channel", writer -> {
          writer.writeUTF(e.getPlayer().getName()+" joined!");
        });
      }
    },this);
  }
}

class BungeePlugin extends Plugin {
  Messenger messenger = LettuceMessenger.create();

  @Override void onEnable() {
    messenger.bootUp();
    messenger.subscribe("myplugin:channel",reader -> {
      LOGGER.infoformat("Received '%s' from backend server", reader.readUTF());
    });
    getProxy().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this,new Listener(){
      @EventHandler void onJoin(PostLoginEvent e){
        messenger.publish("myplugin:channel", writer -> {
          writer.writeUTF(e.getPlayer().getDisplayName()+" joined proxy!");
        });
      }
    });
  }
}
``` @sand frost

[hasty prawn]

Annotation on same line as the method? Conclure are u feeling okay? 😟

[ivory sleet]

lol ye tried to keep it concise

[golden kelp]

yea thats curesed AF

[sand frost]

Okay thank you really much ❤️ And I would be happy to see what abstraction you did

[ivory sleet]

yeah let me push the project to github and you could have a look there

[sand frost]

Thats really kind of you 😄

[patent horizon]

would anyone know how to get a player's luckperms group? the docs just keep recommending to use player.hasPermission, but i'm opped on the server and still not passing conditions

[ivory sleet]

isnt it like group.<groupname>

(the permission)

[sand frost]

Yes it is: https://luckperms.net/wiki/Developer-API-Usage#checking-if-a-player-is-in-a-group

[patent horizon]

yeah but i'm checking if my players have these groups:

[ivory sleet]

https://github.com/Conclure/Eventful/blob/master/common/src/main/java/me/conclure/eventful/shared/MainRunner.java
@sand frost
Line 25-39 is where I just check if the messenger works by itself but yeah, using lettuce and then an abstraction over it basically :3 (Messenger and LettuceMessenger) I do have another system on top of it, but that probably does not interest you

[patent horizon]

and adding myself to those groups, and i'm still not passing the conditions

[ivory sleet]

hmm thats weird

might wanna ask the luckperms guys

[golden kelp]

??

[lethal python]

https://i.imgur.com/Z6kBZNY.png

this is sending the message twice

why is that

[sand frost]

Thank you so much! May I know what the plugin in general does 😅 I am not really understanding what the project is for xD You have some commands, something with uhc but not really much xD

[ivory sleet]

uh yeah

[hasty prawn]

Because it's firing for main hand and offhand

[ivory sleet]

its supposed to be an event plugin

similar to sth like minigames Ig

[lethal python]

:V thank you

[sand frost]

Oh nice. But is it done? Doesn't look that finished 😅 Many abstract classes to simply the coding experience but not really any kind of content xD

[ivory sleet]

its not done cuz the project got disbanded kinda

[sand frost]

Uff sounds like its one of my projects xDD

[ivory sleet]

yeee

well, I do work on it from time to time

but I do more modding than spigot plugins as of now

[sand frost]

But modding sounds cool to

[golden kelp]

i get paid 10x for modding 😭

i like spigot and server stuff more

[lethal python]

https://i.imgur.com/RAPFKet.png
^ I have this in my onEnable, it creates a static ItemStack

I have the line

if (p.getInventory().getItemInMainHand().equals(Waystones.waystone_item)) {

in a listener, but when I right click with this item: /give @p clock{CustomModelData:400000,display:{Name:'[{"text":"Waystone","italic":false}]'}} 1, the if statement doesn't succeed, why is this?

[sand frost]

I am currenly trying to do the second season of a event I did for a german youtuber but I am always just doing a bit and then stopping because I lose motivation quickly and some other stuff 😅

[ivory sleet]

yeah, the best way not to lose motivation is to get stuff done

and dont be so minute about details and perfection

but I can totally relate

[ivory sleet]

they're simply not equal

[sand frost]

Thats wright 😅 I just got demotivated because of some bugs in PlotSquared that they are currently fixing xD

[lethal python]

Conclure what do i do, I thought I made them equal

[sand frost]

And also because it's a lot of work that I've taken on all by myself. 😅

[ivory sleet]

oh yeah

gotta be nice towards yoiurself

[sand frost]

I am always getting new ideas to add to the project and making it even bigger and then getting even more demotivated because its so much stuff to do xD

[ivory sleet]

well

wouldnt it be better to create the itemstack based on your code?

[lethal python]

I don't know how to do that

[ivory sleet]

p.getInventory().addItem(stack);

[lethal python]

ok

then hopefully it will b ok

[tardy delta]

did you write that on discord >_<

[ivory sleet]

abhorrently yes

[sand frost]

@ivory sleet But cool to see that u are currently working on your Eventfull plugin xD (or is it just open for releasing it on github? xD)

[ivory sleet]

well

guess both

but I am planning on putting it on spigot resource section once its done

[sand frost]

Did I get you to continue to work on it? xD

[ivory sleet]

well, both yes and no lol

I work on it occasionally, but might do it a little bit more now

[sand frost]

Okay then kinda happy noises xD

[ivory sleet]

ye

[sand frost]

Sounds cool 👍

[ivory sleet]

tho trying to give this dino mod some love as well lol

[sand frost]

Thats nice. The problem with myself is that I want to publish some stuff on GitHub or Spigot but then when I put a lot of work into it I suddenly feel so selfish that I want to keep the plugin just for me 😅

[ivory sleet]

lol

Ig

what've you done so far?

[sand frost]

Thats also the reason why my GitHub is so empty and there is only one finished bugfree API there xD

[ivory sleet]

ah

tbf I dont have anything remarkable on my github

[uneven fiber]

Nice I can send photos now

[sand frost]

Some spigot plugins and small projects for myself. I mostly don't upload these because of one ore more reason:

1. I don't quite finish it. Just so much that it works hardcoded xD
2. I abandon the project xD
3. I feel like I want to keep it for myself
4. It's so bad that I am ashamed of uploading it

[sand frost]

Let me take a quick lookie xD

[uneven fiber]

Question

[ivory sleet]

lol yep

[sand frost]

Looks like you have a lot of forks and some projects you made yourself. And other stuff I don't what it does xD

But its certainly more than I have xD

But on that note. Time to take some repos private xDD

[ivory sleet]

lol ye

half of my repos are private and archived

[uneven fiber]

im trying to Develop a command so that when first executed, any time a player shifts, they will be launched into the sky. When the command is ran again, this will no longer occur. The issue I'm having is that you must be sneaking when you call the command, otherwise you won't be launched into the air! Any thoughts?

[lusty cipher]

damn my plugin is at 4885 lines of java now (excluding blank & comment lines)

[uneven fiber]

this is my code that im trying rn

[sand frost]

How many do you have? xD

[ivory sleet]

in total its ~100

[eternal night]

see conclure that is why I just have all of my stuff in a private-all org

[ivory sleet]

lol, thats actually kinda smart and organized

[daring maple]

I am assuming you put all of this code inside of an onCommand block, this would however not work because this is triggered one time

You would want to save the players UID or smth and then check if that players sneaks with a listener

[sand frost]

OMG thats a lot. I only have like 15 projects + 1 on my organisation that is also public xD

But the most of my projects are local (I think around 100+)

[ivory sleet]

quite a lot

[uneven fiber]

I did put it in a onCommand block lol. So would you reccomend I just use an event handler instead?

[daring maple]

Well if you want it to be toggleable you would need a command and an event listener

[uneven fiber]

Ok

[sand frost]

Okay I ran my "java script" again and there are 354 projects in total. Maybe more because the script only searches in 2 folders xD

[ivory sleet]

oo damn

well I probably only got 20 local projects

[lusty cipher]

I got 60 repositories but I only use like 10 of them actively

[ivory sleet]

altho replit for instance, is bombed with over 100 py projects

[sand frost]

But then there are also 2 projects I just have for testing stuff like for example this xD

[ivory sleet]

no forks?

[ivory sleet]

ah ye

[lusty cipher]

I delete forks after I'm done with them

but there's a few in there

[ivory sleet]

thats a first

ah nice

[lusty cipher]

yeah I dunno why people don't delete their forks

[ivory sleet]

I mean you do it?

[lusty cipher]

my plugin was forked 6 times but only 2 of those forks ever got additions

[ivory sleet]

oh ye

I used to fork stuff in case the original repo would be deleted

but now I just fork when I might be pring

[lusty cipher]

seems niche

but did that ever happen

[ivory sleet]

ye once

to some command api I was using

[lethal python]

i've got a playerinteractevent listener and rn it's firing twice cause both hands, how do i check for the hand of the item used

[ivory sleet]

(which was why I started forking almost everything I could get my hands on)

[ivory sleet]

check for the main hand probably

[lusty cipher]

seems so weird to me lol

[lethal python]

wdym check for main hand, check for the item in the main hand?

[ivory sleet]

tho idk if the event offers a way to tell which hand used said item

[eternal night]

tho like

use https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/player/PlayerInteractEvent.html#getItem()

instead of getting the players main hand

[ivory sleet]

oh yeah Lynx got your back here, im a bit outdated

[eternal night]

that way your player can still use an item in offhand

[lethal python]

thank you lynx :)

[vocal cloud]

Conclure doing a "back in mah day"

It's okay we'll find you a nice old folks home.

[ivory sleet]

🙌

[tardy delta]

does this looks good as a beginning?

[ivory sleet]

I assume disconnect shutdowns eventual connections?

[tardy delta]

ye

maybe i could just init the datasource in the connect method

[sand frost]

@ivory sleet Took a bit to do but I have a question now xD Do you also have a project for testing small stuff like me here? 😂

[ivory sleet]

ah right, looks good, altho a bit baffled concerning the exposure of hikari

but ye

[dusk flicker]

I have no idea what you are doing spefically, but only thing I can see is the HikariDataSource seems out of place considering everything else is abstracted

[ivory sleet]

oh I do that on replit so nope

lol

[sand frost]

Whats replit? 🤔

[tardy delta]

ye i'm looking for a way to fix that

[dusk flicker]

also what is your main class name

Xkingdoms

I mean like, it works just dont look right to me

[ivory sleet]

@sand frost https://replit.com/~

web ide

[sand frost]

Oh nice. Never new about it

[ivory sleet]

if it extends JavaPlugin Id name it XkingdomsPlugin or sth

[sand frost]

And there are your test projects? xD

[ivory sleet]

yup

[dusk flicker]

Id rather have it be like XKingdoms personally

[sand frost]

Can you show me a example or a number of how many there are? xD

[dusk flicker]

what you add after up to you, I just dont like the k not being capitalized

[ivory sleet]

altho I for the most part create a new project every time I want to test something since I cant find old test projects that I wrote

[quaint mantle]

Is there a way to load worlds that are not in the main file, for example "./islands/worlds/%world-name%/" <- Directory.

[ivory sleet]

ugh

merging brrr

[sand frost]

I like Epic Game and kap1 - kap19 xD Just a question. What does 'kap' mean? xD

[tardy delta]

this is what im currently having
https://github.com/FourteenBrush/xKingdoms/tree/master/src/main/java/me/fourteendoggo/xkingdoms/storage

[ivory sleet]

kap for kapitel which in english means chapter

what does updatePlayer(p) do?

or whats the intent rather*

[tardy delta]

its intended to save a player to a database and if it doesnt exist, create it

might want to change it to 'savePlayer' but ye

[quaint mantle]

you made my day LOL

[ivory sleet]

and create just creates an instance and puts it in the cache?

no database talkie talk whatsoever?

[tardy delta]

i wasnt doing implemtation yet so things are very weird 😆

it has to take a kingdomsplayer parameter ye

[ivory sleet]

oh right

[tardy delta]

and somewhere else put it in cache

but my problem was about that datasource

like i dont want to write a different connectionfactory and different storage implementation for each db type

so i thought lets put it in the enum

[sand frost]

So you are from Sweden right? The cool thing is that in German (I am from Germany) there is also the word Kapitel and it means the exact same thing (chapter in english)

[ivory sleet]

understandable

[sand frost]

But why do you have chapters in programming? xD

[ivory sleet]

oo nice

[tardy delta]

althought the storage needs the connectionfactory in order to get a connection
so in fact the issue is where to put the implentation for each datasource

[ivory sleet]

I have second highschool (gymnasium) and there we learn basic programming in Py, so those were projects coupled to specific chapters of our programming book

[quaint mantle]

german?

[sand frost]

Ohh cool. I am also going to highschool (Gymnasium in German) and we only have computer science (Informatik) 1 year in the 11th grade. But sadly we only learned there ruby for some time and now are just doing some other general stuff

[sand frost]

Yes indeed xD

[ivory sleet]

oo woaw

[quaint mantle]

german programming education is dogshit

[ivory sleet]

I mean py is pretty underwhelming, especially for people who know programming already

[quaint mantle]

unless you go and find an internship

[sand frost]

Yes but its dependent on the school you are going

If you have a modern school with enough teachers that know programming it can actually be cool. But our school has only 1 computer since teacher and just recently got some new ones

[pearl wolf]

anyone know how to shortcut this block of lines?

@EventHandler
    public void onClick(PlayerInteractEvent e) {

        if (e.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK) || e.getAction().equals(Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR)) {
            if (e.getItem() != null) {
                if (e.getItem().hasItemMeta()) {
                    if (e.getItem().getItemMeta().hasDisplayName()) {
                        if (e.getItem().getItemMeta().getDisplayName().equals("Speed 3")) {
                            // Action
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

[sand frost]

Dont put them all in separate lines xD

[unkempt peak]

Make a var for the item meta

And put them on the same line

[sand frost]

But also you could use a general method that uses the item to check all that stuff you are doing in that event method

[unkempt peak]

Yes if you are repeating this make a boolean method

[sand frost]

Yea that was what I was thinking

[ivory sleet]

yeah use explanatory variables, and favor implicit else to explicit if else

[sand frost]

What does implicit else and explicit if else mean again 😅

[ivory sleet]

if (condition) {
  //TODO
} else {
  //TODO
}

if (!condition) {
  //TODO
  return;
}
//TODO

latter is implicit else

it reduces the nesting

which is good, because developers dont read the code that does not fit on their screens (mostly)

[left swift]

what is better way for custom nametags (via armorstands)? Use normal armorstands or register my own one like "nametag" with armorstand model?

[sand frost]

Ohh thank you 😄 I new that the second thing is better but I never really new their names xD

[ivory sleet]

ah yeah idk if those names are official

but thats what I call those two "patterns"

[ivory sleet]

normal armor stands should suffice unless you're doing some rather specific stuff

[sand frost]

Oh oki. The thing is I learned java via learning by dooing and over time just adopted those things (and maybe some other things from reading the java naming conventions xD)

[ivory sleet]

mye, idk how I learned Java now when I think about it, but mostly by doing it over and over as well

[tardy delta]

is there a way to get the absolute path of a file without creating a file object?

[ivory sleet]

sure is

I think?

[humble tulip]

plugin.getdatafolder().getabolutepath + fileseparator + file name

[sand frost]

I had a funny start xD I started by literally just copying the code from youtube tutorials my typing it xD

[tardy delta]

well the absolute path should be ~/user/mcserver/plugins/myplugin/database.h2

not just plugins/blablabla or it wont find it

[sand frost]

And then when I made a java programm that wasn't a plugin I really googled something like 'main method java' or 'enable method java' . Idk what it was I googled but I actually didn't knew what the main method of java was xD

[humble tulip]

Get absolutepath of datafolder

Then add the rest

[tardy delta]

wait 😂

[ivory sleet]

yeah that was a rather counter intuitive concept for me as well

[humble tulip]

Why don't u wanna create the file?

[sand frost]

But oh well now I know it and have some more experience xD But I am now programming in java for 3 - 4 years I think xD

[ivory sleet]

oo right

[humble tulip]

It's the easiest way and a one time tjing so it doesn't matter

[sand frost]

How long are you programming in java?

[ivory sleet]

idk

let me see

3 years max

2-3 years

[sand frost]

I am impressed. Then we are pretty close. Thought you had more xD

[tardy delta]

idk i was wondering if there was some oneline method

[sand frost]

I think I started late 2018 or 2019

[ivory sleet]

yeah, well I did get some advice on what to study/focus on from enterprise developers

which was probably a crucial underlying factor in learning Java and other stuff

[sand frost]

That sound actually cool. I wish I knew some enterprise developers as well 😅

[ivory sleet]

yuh, tho with that being said, there are some great videos that might enhance your understandings of OO, software and Java

for instance uncle bob would be one guy

[sand frost]

Uncle Bob sounds a bit of a funny name xD

[ivory sleet]

ye find it quite hilarious also

[desert loom]

try using this method https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/file/Paths.html#get(java.lang.String, java.lang.String...)

and passing plugin.getDataFolder().getAbsolutePath() and "database.h2" to that method.

[tardy delta]

wasnt it called Paths.resolve at first?

i remember me that method

[ivory sleet]

ye

[desert loom]

I think resolve is part of the Path object rather than Paths

[ivory sleet]

getDataFolder().toPath().toAbsolutePath().resolve("subfile.extension") or sth would work

[tardy delta]

aaah

wasnt resolve also creating the file if it didnt exist?

[ivory sleet]

nope

thats Files::createFile

[quaint mantle]

stop mr conclure using ::

[tardy delta]

nvm i think it was the h2 thing or hikari who made the file

[quaint mantle]

its #

[ivory sleet]

nonono

[quaint mantle]

you make my blood boil as a rust user

[sand frost]

Thats just lambda xD

[ivory sleet]

method reference

[quaint mantle]

😮

[ivory sleet]

I am not writing html anchors here

[quaint mantle]

just use .

[sand frost]

Eww HTML xD

[quaint mantle]

because :: is for rust only :<

[ivory sleet]

then it looks like static

[quaint mantle]

it isnt?

[ivory sleet]

oh yeah it is

but still

[quaint mantle]

bruh ur confusing tf outta me

[ivory sleet]

what does :: do in rust then?

[quaint mantle]

like uh

uninstanced

mod something {
    const HI: &str = "Hello";
}

fn main() {
    println!("{}", something::HI);
}

[ivory sleet]

ah

[quaint mantle]

you can see how i'd get annoyed right 😦

[ivory sleet]

yeah

[ivory sleet]

im gonna continue to use :: then :3

[quaint mantle]

Bruh

[ivory sleet]

well

even in java enhancement proposals

:: is actually used

[tardy delta]

:: in rust is for enums too

[sand frost]

Please just paste the code with ``code here``

[native nexus]

.map()

[tardy delta]

smh

[sand frost]

That looks freaky as hell xD

[quaint mantle]

dude the streams are beautiful

[tardy delta]

i thought in some newer versions println!("{some_str}") worked too

[quaint mantle]

maybe

idk

[tardy delta]

havent used rust for a while

[quaint mantle]

oh yeah it does

[tardy delta]

wheres the dark mode on that site >->

[quaint mantle]

shutup

idk how to make it

[sand frost]

that Hi: &str confuses my brain xD

[quaint mantle]

fn main() {
    let msg = "hi";
    let msg2 = "bye";
    println!("{msg} {msg2}");
}

didnt know that worked

[tardy delta]

set the background-colour to something black in your css

anyways

looks good tho

looks so simple but yet so powerful

[mortal hare]

man i hate how Intellij provides this as a readable message

[tardy delta]

what

i wont even try to read that

[mortal hare]

Intellij supports hyperlinks in those context messages

but no, they'll provide long ass package paths instead

[tardy delta]

i guess i will do it like this now
https://gist.github.com/FourteenBrush/d0a719ed545596cec51f79dcf0c92d7e

dont ask me why i made a gist thing, i just wanted to try

[ivory sleet]

looks cool

[tardy delta]

that

[quaint mantle]

Okay so, is there a way to loop thru all directories in a certain directory, for example

Load all worlds from directory "./island-worlds/player-uuid/", but instead of giving the id, loop thru all the directories in "./island-worlds/"

[ivory sleet]

sure is

[quaint mantle]

Could you provide me a quick code sample, if you don't mind ?

[void escarp]

Hi! My plugin works with a number the value of which I want to keep in the event of a reboot. Would you recommend saving that in a .txt file and if so, how can I read/write such .txt file?

[ivory sleet]

try (DirectoryStream<Path> stream = Files.newDirectoryStream(path)) {
  for (Path path : stream) {
    //TODO
  }
}```

[tardy delta]

use the inbuilt config file

[quaint mantle]

Would it be smart to use this in a plugin where I need to load island world for each player individually ?

[ivory sleet]

hmm I guess?

[quaint mantle]

For example, load all the worlds when the server starts up, so there wont be any lag later on.

[void escarp]

the value changes every so often so I don't want it to be overriden if someone has the config open and when they save it they save it with an old value

[quaint mantle]

Or that's a dumb idea?

[ivory sleet]

how many worlds are there

[quaint mantle]

Well, there will be 1 world per team.

[ivory sleet]

yes thats a terrible idea

[quaint mantle]

So let's say there're like 100 worlds, it'll take quite a bite of time to load.

Then, I should load/unload them as they leave/join, right ?

[ivory sleet]

yes

in principle

[quaint mantle]

Wouldn't that cause a bit of lag spikes ?

[ivory sleet]

altho if possible you could try to reduce the amount of worlds

just make sure teams are separated enough from each and another

[void escarp]

why not use single world and divide it into regions

[ivory sleet]

^

[quaint mantle]

I thought about that, but the problem is I've never worked with regions.

I don't know how to do it.

Yes, it's alot better to just use regions, but I've never done that.

[void escarp]

you could just define coordinates and prevent players from leaving them maybe

[ivory sleet]

start by trying

just do something that looks right to you, after that we can discuss it here

[void escarp]

can you help me with this?

[ivory sleet]

chances are youll b able to come up with some quite desirable results

[ivory sleet]

WilliamD

[quaint mantle]

Is it possible to have multiple world borders in a single world ?

[void escarp]

yes but

the value changes every so often so I don't want it to be overriden if someone has the config open and when they save it they save it with an old value

it has to be separate from the config

[ivory sleet]

oh

[tardy delta]

so stupid that you cant just put a comma here

[ivory sleet]

missed that part, well in that case, sure

ye fourteen agree

if its just internal plugin data perhaps use a file extension like .temp or sth

[void escarp]

how would I save and read the file? i have but a few hours of experience with bukkit plugin development

[mortal hare]

is there any way to declare a list which can accept both the impl object and its derivative:

List<? extends Foo> list = new ArrayList<>(); // Works only for extended classes. Cannot add Impl classes. I need to add both. super seems a good way to do it but im not sure.

[mortal hare]

https://bukkit.fandom.com/wiki/Configuration_API_Reference

[void escarp]

it has to be separate from the config

[ivory sleet]

dovidas do you mean derivatives of Foo?

[mortal hare]

both the Foo interfaces

and the its derivatives

i think ? super Foo would work

super keyword inside wildcards state that it has to have at least one superclass that foo has

[ivory sleet]

myes but then you turn it into a write only list

assuming you abide by the types concretely

I mean Id just have List<Foo> if possible

[quaint mantle]

Okay so, a long time ago i saw an article that you could change the spigot world path, but the problem is that idk where that was. What configuration file.

For example, all the worlds to be in ./worlds/

[mortal hare]

just use symlinks

[ivory sleet]

but if you return both a super type of Foo and a sub type of Foo like List<SuperFoo> or List<SubFoo> List<?> might be what you need since theres no real contract going on anymore

[mortal hare]

why bother changing source code when you can use junctions in windows and symlinks in unix

[quaint mantle]

eh

[void escarp]

is this it?

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("~/plugins/Name/.val"));
String val = reader.readLine();

?

[ivory sleet]

nonono

[tardy delta]

dont think the plugins folder is in your home directory

[ivory sleet]

try (var reader = Files.newBufferedReader(Path.of("path"))) {
//TODO
}

[void escarp]

it is

[mortal hare]

tbh i think it doesnt matter

[void escarp]

it's a docker container

[mortal hare]

since Foo for me is an interface

so it should be extended

[ivory sleet]

ye

[mortal hare]

so im using extends correctly

[lost matrix]

implements

[mortal hare]

inside wildcard

[lost matrix]

Ah

[ivory sleet]

dovidas problem is, (and I see it a lot) people try to make sense of generics by talking about instances

which often leads to unnecessary wildcard declarations

[mortal hare]

these are very low level generic classes

for abstraction only

to support multiple platforms (sponge, bukkit, etc.)

[ivory sleet]

for sure but point persists, when you do generics you only wanna consider types (and type constructors)

[tardy delta]

oh im not familiar with that

[mortal hare]

im just trying to decouple bukkit api from my abstraction classes

[tardy delta]

how does it look now?
https://gist.github.com/FourteenBrush/d0a719ed545596cec51f79dcf0c92d7e

[mortal hare]

ik i haven't seen the context of this question, but it seems clean enum class for me.

[tardy delta]

its for something like

void updatePlayer(KingdomsPlayer player) {
  try (Connection conn = connFactory.getConnection();
        PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(s))   {
  // do db stuff
  }
}```

so the StorageType enum is able to get a datasource which corresponds to the type of database the user wants

[mortal hare]

good idea, enum abstraction is on point there.

better than long method which tries to resolve what the player uses

[quaint mantle]

// Okay so I've created something that I'd like to use.

Create a world where all player islands will be, make the spawn point at 0/65/0 and on every 500 blocks each direction there will be an island for a team that a player will create, is there a way that that could somehow be done or?

[lost matrix]

I feel like You should have actual implementations of ConfigSupplier. Like H2ConfigSupplier.

[lost matrix]

Yes this can be done. Its not too hard.

[mortal hare]

sounds like acid skyblock

[tardy delta]

the thing that i dont really want to write a Storage implementation and a configsupplier thing for each type of database, just one thing

or i could store suppliers to them so i can get them from a storagetype constant

[quaint mantle]

Acid Skyblock /

[lost matrix]

I would just look at the chunk system and scale it up.
So create a SkyWorld which contains a Map<SkyTileCoordinate, SkyTile>
And each tile is 250x250 blocks. The rest should come naturally
