[glass mauve]

yea, but he created a SPIDER field

[worthy yarrow]

That was what I have been using, entityType and it didnt work when I tested it

not sure if that was the problem or not, but I have tested with entityType

[earnest forum]

whats the point tho?

just use EntityType.SPIDER

[glass mauve]

idk

[earnest forum]

good to have clarity

[glass mauve]

its useless

[earnest forum]

in ur code

[glass mauve]

just use EntityType.SPIDER

[worthy yarrow]

So as you said, entitytype is an enum, do i have to define spider within an enum?

[earnest forum]

its part of spigot

[worthy yarrow]

thats what I figured

[glass mauve]

no just do this: e.getDamager().getType().equals(EntityType.SPIDER)

[earnest forum]

dont use .equals

use ==

because its an enum

e.getDamager().getType() == EntityType.SPIDER

[glass mauve]

yea, but try to use equals for most stuff in Java

[earnest forum]

== for primitives and enums

[worthy yarrow]

alright

[earnest forum]

dont use .equals() for primitives and enums

[worthy yarrow]

    @EventHandler
    public void MobHitEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {
        if (e.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
            Player player = (Player) e.getEntity();
                if (e.getDamager().getType() == EntityType.SPIDER) {
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "You have been given poison from the spider bite!");
                    player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON, 8, 1));```

[earnest forum]

can cause issues for some enums im pretty sure

[worthy yarrow]

Look good?

[glass mauve]

yea

[earnest forum]

yes that should work

[glass mauve]

you can change this:

if (e.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
   Player player = (Player) e.getEntity();
}
```to:
```java
if (e.getEntity() instanceof Player player) {
}

if you are on a newer Java version

[worthy yarrow]

I just have one more issue, cant load the plugin to test server getting error: "Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: me/nuclearkat/custommobeffects/CustomMobEffects has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 60.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0"

[worthy yarrow]

I tried that yesterday and for some reason it kept spitting cant define method errors

[earnest forum]

thats amazing

how do i

not know that

[glass mauve]

xD

[worthy yarrow]

So the class file version error... I'm ont sure how to fix that, is it something in intellij?

[glass mauve]

which Java version are you using and which Minecraft version are you using

[earnest forum]

version 60 is java 17 im pretty sure

[worthy yarrow]

Java should be latest, minecraft is paper 1.8

[glass mauve]

maybe you need to change your Java version

[earnest forum]

ye

[glass mauve]

1.8 server?

[worthy yarrow]

I prefer 1.8 over others, just havent bothered to change it to 1.18

[glass mauve]

your Java is too new for 1.8

[earnest forum]

u need java 1.8

not java 17

[glass mauve]

you can easily change that in intellij

change it in your gradle or maven file

and in the project settings

[worthy yarrow]

Should I keep using java 17 and just change server version to 1.18.2?

or would that even do anything

[glass mauve]

so I recommend to always use the newest version

[worthy yarrow]

That's probably what I would want anyways

[earnest forum]

probably

as long as u dont use nms nothing should change

actually no

some of the enum names change

[glass mauve]

Java 17 is 10000x better than 1.8

[worthy yarrow]

yada0 why would they change? I'm developing for 1.18.2 already

[earnest forum]

stuff changed in 1.13

the game is a lot different in that version

[glass mauve]

yea

[earnest forum]

a bunch of stuff changed in the api as well

[glass mauve]

its way harder to change version for mods than for plugins

[earnest forum]

yea

because everything in mods is NMS

[glass mauve]

I think they also removed 1.8.* documentation for Forge

and old versions generally

[earnest forum]

atleast in plugins we have spigot to handle most of the backend nms stuff

[glass mauve]

im using protocollib :D

[worthy yarrow]

I guess I just don't understand why I wouldn't want to just change server version to 1.18

Since I'm already using spigot 1.18.2 api

[glass mauve]

lol

[worthy yarrow]

Is that not correct?

The api doesnt change in relation to mc version?

[earnest forum]

some of it does

some stuff gets deprecated

[glass mauve]

it makes no sense to use spigot 1.18.2 api for 1.8

[earnest forum]

yeah lol

are they backward compatible?

are u using like viaversion or something

[worthy yarrow]

I have via installed yes

[glass mauve]

if one spigot api version works for every mc version why releasing more than one api version lol

[earnest forum]

more features

less need to go into nms

[worthy yarrow]

Why not just add features to the existing api

tested the custom mob effects and the spider still doesnt give poison when it hits me

Do I have to add a conditional that checks for the entitytype whenever a player gets hit?

[glass mauve]

can you show your current code

[worthy yarrow]

    @EventHandler
    public void MobHitEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {
        if (e.getEntity() instanceof Player player) {
                if (e.getDamager().getType() == EntityType.SPIDER) {
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "You have been given poison from the spider bite!");
                    player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON, 8, 1));```

[vocal cloud]

Some features from the 1.18 API don't work on 1.8 and vice versa

[glass mauve]

you get the message in chat?

[worthy yarrow]

Neither

the potion effect or the message

What if I change, player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON, 8, 1)); to ((Player) e.getEntity()).getPlayer().addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON, 8, 1));

I tested that and it does not work

[glass mauve]

what if you hit a Spider instead of you getting hit

[worthy yarrow]

I suppose that could work, if I did that I'd like to add an additional condition that checks if they hit the spider with their fist

That way if you have a tool or weapon you won't get the poison effect

Another plugin I wanted to make was one where if you take fall damage it will give you slowness to sort of simulate hurting your feet

[iron glade]

if(target.getHealth() > 1) {

 target.setHealth(target.getHealth() - 1);
 target.playEffect(EntityEffect.HURT);

 }
   else if(target.getHealth() == 1) {

 target.setHealth(0);
//do some other stuff
 }```

why does that not kill the player -.-

It's in a repeating scheduler btw

[maiden vapor]

If the player’s health is 1.1, it won’t deal enough damage, leaving them with 0.1

[earnest forum]

make sure to floor the target.setHealth(target.getHealth() - 1);

[tall dragon]

if the players health is 1.1 it wont do damage at all

[iron glade]

didn't know player's could have something in between

regarding health

[earnest forum]

yes thats why its a double

[tall dragon]

well yea., its just not displayed

[earnest forum]

if you print the player's health it should say 20.0

if they're full

[iron glade]

yes

[maiden vapor]

Think you can just change > 1 to > 0. I think you need to avoid setting the hp to negative, can’t remember if that causes problems

[iron glade]

that fixed it, thanks

[earnest forum]

not the place

[worthy yarrow]

If I use EntityDamageByBlockEvent that returns the block that damaged the entity correct? And if so, does that apply to fall damage?

[earnest forum]

try it and see

it probably won't

since the block itself isn't causing the damage

[maiden vapor]

Maybe says something for dripstone since that increases fall damage, but not sure.

[worthy yarrow]

I looked it up in javadocs, it "Returns the block that damaged the player."

Might just have to play around with it a bit

[earnest forum]

the player landing on the block is causing the damage

the block isnt causing the damage

like how say, a cactus causes the damage

[worthy yarrow]

right

[earnest forum]

if you want to find fall damage

you can use entity damage event

check if the cause is DamageCause.FALL

and then u can get the block under the player

[worthy yarrow]

Ahhhhh that is exactly what I need

[earnest forum]

make sure to check if the entity is a player

theres no player damage event

for some reason

[worthy yarrow]

I know that's what I was stuck on

I kept trying to look for/create a fall damage instance

[earnest forum]

you can just ask here

tell us what you're trying to achieve

[worthy yarrow]

.

[tall dragon]

classic case of https://xyproblem.info/ 😄

[worthy yarrow]

It's more about the experience, I'm pretty new to spigot api so instead of someone writing the code I need I'd like to write it myself so I can learn

[earnest forum]

yes we're not gonna spoonfeed u

rarely anyone does here

just gonna give some pointers on how to get it done

[tall dragon]

telling u which event you need isnt really doing it for you

[earnest forum]

what to look at, etc

[worthy yarrow]

if (e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().equals(EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.FALL))

[earnest forum]

use .getCause()

from LastDamageCause

[worthy yarrow]

ok

[earnest forum]

because that gives u an EntityDamageEvent

[worthy yarrow]

So essentially just being more specific?

[tall dragon]

pretty sure EntityDamageEvent has an getCause, right now ur using the last damage cause instead of the one that comes with the event. those might not match im not sure

[earnest forum]

yes it does

getLastDamageCause().getCause()

is what i meant

[tall dragon]

oh i meant this https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityDamageEvent.html#getCause()

[earnest forum]

yes

getLastDamageCause gives you an EntityDamageEvent

its weird

wait

nvm

you are using the EntityDamageEvent lol

just use e.getCause()

sorry

[tall dragon]

yah

😄

[worthy yarrow]

            if (e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().getCause().equals(EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.FALL)){
                ((Player) e.getEntity()).getPlayer().addPotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SLOW.createEffect(5, 1));
                ((Player) e.getEntity()).getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "You have injured your ankles and been given slowness for 5 seconds!");
                    ```

When I did e.getCause it just gave me @NotNull error

[earnest forum]

just use e.getCause()

thats not an error

[worthy yarrow]

Oops sorry

read it wrong

[earnest forum]

also

if (e.getEntity()instanceof Player player){

}

do this

so you can just use player instead of casting again

every time

this automatically casts the entity into player variable

if ur in latest java

[worthy yarrow]

"Patters in instanceof are not supported at language level 8"

[earnest forum]

ok then dont do that

if (e.getEntity()instanceof Player){
   Player player = (Player) e.getEntity();
}

[thorny dawn]

class HandleWorlds: Runnable {
    override fun run() {
        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(Main().plugin, Runnable() {
            send("Test message.")
        },0,20)
    }
}

i am currently fucking around with runnables but why isnt this doing anything?

[earnest forum]

the way you cast it like 3 times is annoying me

[worthy yarrow]

intellij did that automatically when i did e.getEntity().getPlayer

[tall dragon]

well ehh you know this is a runnable inside a runnable right?, did you start it?

[thorny dawn]

how would i "start it"?

[tall dragon]

exactly how you are starting the one inside it. but i dont think u really want them nested?

[thorny dawn]

does implementing Runnable not require me to use the run fun?

[tall dragon]

yes it does

but the thing ur running

ur just scheduling antoher runnable

[thorny dawn]

ooh

i see where ur going

how would i fix that

[tall dragon]

u could also send test message inside run

[thorny dawn]

so if i remove the scheduling method how do i set delays etc?

[tall dragon]

you need to actually start it somewhere

for example your onenable

but instead of using Runnable, use the class name

[bright jasper]

https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Player_Rotation is this a serverside packet or a player packet? I want to update the players head rotation without teleporting so im using this packet and setting pitch and yaw on the players position

[thorny dawn]

like reference it in the main class?

[tall dragon]

no

like call the Bukkit.scheduleSyncRepeatingTask somewhere

for example in onEnable

[thorny dawn]

ooh

and instead of a new runnable put the class name?

got it

[tall dragon]

ye

[thorny dawn]

thanks a lot mate

[tall dragon]

since ur class extends runnable

👍

[mighty pier]

whats the difference between Bukkit.getScheduler() and BukkitRunnable?

[earnest forum]

you use the scheduler to start the bukkit runnable

[mighty pier]

e

[thorny dawn]

    fun createWorld(): String {
        val worldname = "testworld"
        val worldcreator = WorldCreator(worldname)
        worldcreator.type(WorldType.LARGE_BIOMES)
        worldcreator.generateStructures(false)
        val world: World? = worldcreator.createWorld()!!
        world?.worldBorder?.setCenter(0.0, 0.0)
        world?.worldBorder?.size = 100.0
        world?.setGameRule(GameRule.DO_DAYLIGHT_CYCLE, false)
        File(world?.worldFolder, "gamedata.yml")
        return worldname
    }

is file in line 11 not being created because the world may have not fully been created yet?

[tall dragon]

im not really that familiar with kotlin but possibly

[thorny dawn]

tried replacing world?.worldFolder with Bukkit.getWorld(worldname).worldFolder but it still did nothing

[quaint mantle]

I want the player to stop flying even I am doing this its not stopping to fly:

        if (!fly) {
            Player p = (Player) sender;
            p.setFlying(true);
            fly = true;
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD+"Flying Enabled");
        }else if (fly == true){
            Player p = (Player) sender;
            p.setFlying(false);
            fly = false;
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD+"Flying Disabled");
        }```

[thorny dawn]

Why are you setting a variable? Use https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/Player.html#getAllowFlight()

[quaint mantle]

me?

[thorny dawn]

yes

[quaint mantle]

oh ok

[thorny dawn]

oh wait

yeah

do that

[quaint mantle]

ok

[worthy yarrow]

You would want to do something like p.setAllowFlight(true/false)

[thorny dawn]

^

[quaint mantle]

ok

[worthy yarrow]

Are you trying to make a /fly command?

[quaint mantle]

yes

[quaint mantle]

wait let me try that

IT WORKED

THANK YOU

[worthy yarrow]

No problem

[heady spruce]

hi, im trying to do a kit sorting. i have the general concept running. but im trying to add the items into a map, but the map is always empty, does anyone now why?

Map<Integer, ItemStack> newSort = new HashMap<Integer, ItemStack>();

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender s, Command c, String l, String[] args) {
        Player player = (Player) s;
        player.getInventory().clear();

        KitManager.givePlayerKit(player, KitManager.getKit("tank"));
        player.sendMessage("Sort test");

        for (int i = 0; i < player.getInventory().getSize(); i++) {
            ItemStack item = player.getInventory().getItem(i);
            if (item == null || item.getType() == Material.AIR) {
                continue;
            }
            newSort.put(i, player.getInventory().getItem(i));
        }
        
        return false;
    }

    @EventHandler
    void onChat(PlayerChatEvent e) throws IOException {
        for(int slot : newSort.keySet())
        {
            ItemStack item = newSort.get(slot);
            Bukkit.getLogger().info("test");
        }
        //e.getPlayer().getInventory().clear();
        KitManager.givePlayerKitWithCustomSort(e.getPlayer(), KitManager.getKit("tank"));
        Main.yamlConfiguration.set(e.getPlayer().getName() + "tankkit", newSort);
        Main.yamlConfiguration.save(Main.file);

    }

[tall dragon]

you know i have a theory

how do you register your command

@heady spruce

[eternal night]

Your theory is most likely right XD

[heady spruce]

in my main, the command works, but it doesnt add the items to the map

[tall dragon]

my theory is that you register your command and listener both with a new class

meaning its well a different instance

so the filled map is in another instance

[eternal night]

Instance but yea ^

[eternal oxide]

you also never return true from your onCommand so the command will always display an error

[sullen marlin]

You don't have any call to create a new file. The constructor doesn't do that

[heady spruce]

the listener and command is in the same class so i think thats not the problem

[tall dragon]

no i mean instance

for example you register your command with new YourClass() and you do the same for listener

those are now different instances of the same class

[heady spruce]

oh ok i read that wrong xd

[eternal oxide]

Either use teh same instance or make teh Map static

[glass mauve]

teh

[tall dragon]

can someone turn elgarl's pirate mode off?

[eternal oxide]

not editing it 🙂

[tall dragon]

haha

[heady spruce]

oh it works now thanks

[thorny dawn]

how would i fix that

[chrome beacon]

Create a new file

[thorny dawn]

File("$worldname/gamedata.yml").createNewFile() like this?

[eternal oxide]

Yes. File is only a pointer. Nothing needs to exist at that location

Not until you create it.

[thorny dawn]

gotcha

[vivid flower]

anyone knows what is inventory context 0x77 on 1.12.2???

[crude cobalt]

How can I make a local variable for each player that would work with threads?

[eternal oxide]

too vague a question

[tardy delta]

ah

[heady spruce]

does anyone know how to get a item of a map from a config?
example of the config: Koasyytank: 3: ==: org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack type: POTION damage: 16389 amount: 3 so i tried to get the list, and then get the item from the list / map. but it wont work, does anyone have an idea?

[eternal oxide]

That is not a valid serialization of an ItemStack

Why not just serialize it properly and you can read it easily

[crude cobalt]

I don't even know how to put it differently. I'll try this: I have a variable that should count the number of squats a player has made over a period of time. It must be a local variable, because it must be different for each player. After I want to create a new thread using Bukkit.getScheduler.scheduleSyncDelayedTask(). But I can't use local variable in thread. What to do?

[buoyant viper]

Why, Google, why.

just because you can doesnt mean you should

[eternal oxide]

use statistics https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Statistic.html#CROUCH_ONE_CM

[vocal cloud]

Wack I didn't realize that was serverside too

[buoyant viper]

who do u think tells u the statistics

[heady spruce]

  2:
    type: FISHING_ROD``` something like this?

[crude cobalt]

Thanks

[vocal cloud]

Stuff like that could be completely client side too.

[buoyant viper]

not if its persistent across (re)installs 😎

[tardy delta]

🤤

[vocal cloud]

I've never really looked at that data. Same with advancements

[tardy delta]

is there even a way to create advancements with the api?

i thought it included creating json files too

[crude cobalt]

I'm not sure if this will suit me, because I have to reset this variable

[vocal cloud]

Use a database then

[eternal oxide]

all you have to do is store teh current value when you want to reset

put it in the players PDC, then subtract that value from the statistic

[crude cobalt]

Now I understand, thanks

[thorny dawn]

can someone help me with writing yml files using yamlconfiguration? (non config file) the docs are really confusing for me and couldnt find anything online

[tardy delta]

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

[short raptor]

Can anyone here help me with the LuckPerms api?

[eternal oxide]

LP have their own help Discord

[short raptor]

Ohh ok

Thx

I will wait for there

[tardy delta]

https://luckperms.net/wiki/Home

[heady spruce]

does anyone know to get a map from a config?

[tardy delta]

#getSection?

[eternal oxide]

ConfigurationSection#getValues(true)

[tardy delta]

nearly :(

[heady spruce]

xd

[heady spruce]

oh thanks it now works 💙

[short raptor]

I am asking because the wiki is minimally useful for this issue lol......

I already looked there

[tardy delta]

what are you trying to do?

[short raptor]

Check if a user's in a group

Both the methods on the wiki don't seem to work properly

[tardy delta]

thats just Player#hasPermission

[short raptor]

Yes but the issue is if a player is opped, they always return true

Deopping the players is not an option so instead I tried this

But it seems to return true 100% of the time

Or at least for any existing group, idk what happens if pass a group name that doesn't even exist

[tardy delta]

uh

[short raptor]

Oh

I think I know what I did

Yeah it's my bad I'm braindead

Should have been g -> g.getName()

[crimson scarab]

how can i simulate my own chorus fruit effect

[tall dragon]

you mean the teleportation ?

[eternal needle]

hi i have a problem with that i have a plugin that a have made but i crash the server after som hours

i think it's this code https://paste.md-5.net/apuceporuy.java

pls help me i don't get any error or somthing it just crash

[dark arrow]

public static void catcher(Zombie zombie , Location location){
        zombie.setCustomName(ChatColor.RED+"Catcher");
        for(Entity entity:zombie.getNearbyEntities(3,3,3)){
            if(entity instanceof Player){
                Player player = (Player) entity;
                entity.addPassenger(player);

            }
        }

    }```This is suppose to put player as a passenger on zombie but it does not do that

[tall dragon]

huh

you look for entities arround the zombie

then try to add the player as passenger of another player

so himself probably.

[eternal oxide]

If you only have one message this code will loop indefinitely java while (nextMessage == lastmessage){ random.nextInt(messages.size()); }

[dark arrow]

oh yea

[eternal needle]

i have like 16 or somthing

[eternal oxide]

ok, then this runnable is not crashing your server

[dark arrow]

its working

[eternal needle]

what kida things can crash the server?

[tall dragon]

doesnt this always loop infinitely as soon as you hit the last message?

[dark arrow]

too many entities

[eternal oxide]

actually yes., as its just generating a random number, it never changes anything

[dark arrow]

wierd loops

[eternal oxide]

that loop will never exit

[eternal needle]

yeah but i can crash after 8 hours and no one needs to be online

[eternal needle]

so it's this code that crash the server becus i am going to end of the list?

[crimson scarab]

yes

[tall dragon]

problem is ur while loop is doing bassically nothing

it generates a random number and does nothing with it

[eternal needle]

how can i fix it?

[tall dragon]

ah well get the player location, add some random offset. check if its safe, teleport

[lost matrix]

First of all: Dont catch an catch(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e)

[tall dragon]

second of all: don't create a new Random instance every time

[lost matrix]

Same goes for NPEs

[dark arrow]

does the levitation effect does not work if mob has a passenger?

[lost matrix]

What IDE are you using?

[eternal needle]

ide?

[chilly spire]

hi, ive recently created 2 different currencies using gemseconomy, and now im using moneyhunters for the players being able to get those currencies but i can only earn the defaul one, how can i set it to players to gain different currencies depending on the mob they ar killing/ore they mining? Thanks

[lost matrix]

so eclipse im guessing

[tall dragon]

is this something you are developing?

[eternal needle]

no intellij

[chilly spire]

umm, wym

oh

sorry

[tall dragon]

like, with code

[chilly spire]

this the development channel

[tall dragon]

else ask #help-server

[chilly spire]

k ty

[lost matrix]

Then click into your class and press ctrl + alt + L

[eternal needle]

ok

[prime kraken]

Hello, hope everybody are good, i've one question, I would like to give every 5 min an item to all the players of the server, what should I use ?

[lost matrix]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/scheduler-programming/

[lost matrix]

You can also use a Timer and start a bukkit runnable every 5mins

[prime kraken]

Nice thank you, the bukkit runnable will affect the performance of my server ?

[lost matrix]

Everything can impact the performance if you use it wrong

Thanks you for your responses

Use a connection pool like HikariCP

[thorny dawn]

ive noticed that creating an entire world with the server running is very resource heavy causing my server to fall behind. is there a way to avoid this?

[tall dragon]

hmm lets see here. dont?

[chrome beacon]

Using Paper can help

[dark arrow]

i have made a zombie which forces player to sit on it but how can i make it so that it can fly

[thorny dawn]

i am using paper

[dark arrow]

levitation effect does not work on enitties with passrenger

[chrome beacon]

Then there's not much you can do

[thorny dawn]

its basically freezing the server for like 4-5 seconds and then created a thread dump

[tall dragon]

why would you create a whole world im confused

[eternal oxide]

Creating a single world should not lock up your server, unless your server is trash

[tall dragon]

that too

[thorny dawn]

im hosting it locally as im testing my things in there

so it should be fine

[tall dragon]

can we see the dump?

[thorny dawn]

maybe theres not enough ram allocated to it?

kk wait

uh its too large to paste here ill make a pastebin

[tall dragon]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[dark arrow]

i have made a zombie which forces player to sit on it but how can i make it so that it can fly

[chrome beacon]

Do you want the player to control the flying?

Otherwise just launch the zombie

[thorny dawn]

https://pastebin.com/D6z5BYQR

[dark arrow]

i just want to fly vertically (no control )

[chrome beacon]

Just set the velocity then

[dark arrow]

hmm

[eternal oxide]

Entity#setVelocity(new Vector(0,1,0))

[tall dragon]

and can we also see the code?

[terse raven]

maybe just give the player the velocity and spawn a falling block with the same velocity and periodically just teleport the player to the location of the falling block and readjust velocity

this way you have a smooth transition and the player has (nearly) no control

[dark arrow]

faling block , i want to do it with zombie

[terse raven]

oh then just give the velocity to the zombie

and give him no ai

[rough drift]

I need to get crafted amount from a craftitemevent, how can I do that (reply when you can)

[terse raven]

then he wont move

[terse raven]

result.getAmount()?

[dark arrow]

i am trying to make it so that there are custo zombie around which can catch the player and fly , then leave them at a height

[terse raven]

good luck

[rough drift]

result is an enum

[chrome beacon]

getRecipe().getResult()

[rough drift]

yes but I need what has been crafted

so like if you shift click bread and make 1 stack

i want 64

not 1

[terse raven]

this event fires when a crafting recipe has been completed

in a crafting table

not when it has been crafted

[eternal oxide]

you check the output slot for the result

[tall dragon]

ye only it will only show 1 bread

if you shift click

u get more

[eternal oxide]

yep

Math

[terse raven]

ye

math

[tall dragon]

mathfs

[rough drift]

what math even is required

[chrome beacon]

So just check if player is shift clicking and calculate

[terse raven]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/event/inventory/PrepareItemCraftEvent.html#getRecipe() wouldnt this event be better

as i think that is called when it is crafted

not when it is laid out in a crafting table

[chrome beacon]

It's the otherway around

[eternal oxide]

If shift clicking, check smallest stack size in Matrix

[rough drift]

o smort

[terse raven]

are you sure?

[chrome beacon]

No 🙃

But it would make sense for it to be the other way around

Try it and see I guess

[lost matrix]

What if the player doesnt have enough inventory space?

[terse raven]

PrepareItemCraftEvent is the correct one

[dark arrow]

the velocity launches at once

[terse raven]

just compare the inventory before he crafted

and after he crafted

and calculate the difference

then you have the amount

[lost matrix]

Thats exploitable

[terse raven]

how

[lost matrix]

One tick diff means you can in theory drop items in the tick you are crafting

[terse raven]

if you calculate the amount of items could be crafted

with stuff in the crafting table

and the stuff that could be crafted after

you cant drop into a crafting table

[lost matrix]

You can always drop items on the ground

[terse raven]

yea but it wouldnt go into the crafting grid

[terse raven]

yea but it wouldnt go into the crafting grid??

if you calculate how much you could craft with the items in the crafting grid before and how much you could craft after

[tall dragon]

how about this post https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/get-accurate-crafting-result-from-shift-clicking.446520/ ?
though i don't think this post accounts for inventory space.

[pastel juniper]

I created a custom item, which is a paper. The problem is that players can make books with it, how can I disable the use of the specific paper???

[opal juniper]

can you change a particles color?

[tall dragon]

from some particles yea

[lost matrix]

PrepareItemCraftEvent -> check if recipe is book -> check if any ingredient has the PDC tag

[lost matrix]

For redstone dust

[pastel juniper]

Thank You

[tardy delta]

why not just checking the custommodel data?

[tender shard]

they didnt mention that their item has custom modeldata

[tardy delta]

dunno why you would create custom items without a custom texture ;p

[tender shard]

idk maybe its configurable or sth 😄

but yeah IF it has custom modeldata, that should be good enough

to prohibit crafting

[tardy delta]

ye i dont remember

[iron glade]

Is there a way to convert a project to a maven project in intellij?

[prime kraken]

Hello team, i'm trying to do a Schuduler and i get a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Plugin cannot be null I don't know what to do, my class where the scheduler is : ```public class Salaire {

    }

[heady spruce]

hey, does anyone know how to fix an error. i have in my config a hashmap, everything works. but when the itemstack in the hashmap has a itemmeta, it wont work, does anybody why?
the config:

Koasyyassasin:
  '0':
    type: POTION
    damage: 16389
    amount: 3
  '1':
    type: DIAMOND_SWORD
    meta:
      ==: ItemMeta
      meta-type: UNSPECIFIC
      enchants:
        DAMAGE_ALL: 1```

my code: 
```java
try {
            
            @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
            Map<Integer, Object> map = (Map<Integer, Object>) Main.yamlConfiguration.getValues(true).get("Koasyytank");
            System.out.println(map);
            for (int i = 0; i < kit.getKitSize(); i++) {
                if(map.get(i) != Material.AIR)
                p.getInventory().setItem(i, ItemStack.deserialize((Map<String, Object>) map.get(i)));
            }
        } catch (NullPointerException ex) {

        }```

[iron glade]

why is your plugin static?

[prime kraken]

Didn't notice I just try something before ask but don't work

[tardy delta]

^

[iron glade]

make plugin private

[prime kraken]

I try

[iron glade]

I hope you know what static does and are not just abusing it

[eternal oxide]

You are making a static access of salaireJoueur() when the plugin field is not set

[tardy delta]

static abuse hmm

[eternal oxide]

lots

[prime kraken]

I know, but I'm also a beginner and I don't know how works scheduler like I asked earlier

[eternal oxide]

?scheduling

[undone axle]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/scheduler-programming/

[prime kraken]

I've read like they said earlier

[iron glade]

You're on the right way with the scheduler

[eternal oxide]

You are close, but your understanding of static is bad

don;t make things static simply because your IDE told you to do so

[prime kraken]

Thank you for the encouragement it's nice, it's help me, i will get more information about the static

Nice to know too for the static

[iron glade]

Don't worry, we all started somewhere

[prime kraken]

Thanks you a lot

[eternal oxide]

remove the static off everything

[prime kraken]

Good, i will do that

[humble tulip]

Yes

Add framework support i beleive

[eternal oxide]

then access it as an instanced object

Salaire task = new Salaire(this);
task.salaireJoueur();```

[prime kraken]

Nice that what I needed i think, i will save that i have to do that next time in my little head with little brain x)

[heady spruce]

hey, does anyone know how to fix an error. i have in my config a hashmap, everything works. but when the itemstack in the hashmap has a itemmeta, it wont work, does anybody why?

            }
        } catch (NullPointerException ex) {

        }```

[tardy delta]

dont think that you should cast it to a map

why not just iterating over koadsyyassasin

[heady spruce]

because i just changed to make sure its not because of the map

then i noticed its because of the itemmeta

[tardy delta]

and then doing yaml.getItemstack(koadyasssasin + str)

[prime kraken]

@iron glade @eternal oxide thank you for your help

I put, the Salaire task = new Salaire(this); in my main classe and the task.salaireJoueur(); on my enable, but doesn't work, no error in my log, but i had to search why to the schedule don't work

[eternal oxide]

The issue is you are running it in onEnable when no player are logged in

No players = no scheduled tasks

[maiden vapor]

If you just used an integer itemstack hashmap to put it into the file initially, couldn’t you get the object and cast it back into a hashmap?

[eternal oxide]

if you create a single task for all players, instead of yoru current setup where you are creating a task per player

[prime kraken]

Nice to know, better like this so ? ```public class Salaire {

private Valdara plugin;
public Salaire(Valdara plugin) {
    this.plugin = plugin;
}

public void salaireJoueur() {

    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimerAsynchronously(plugin, new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            
            p.sendMessage("Execute 1sc");
            
        }
    }, 0, 20);

}

}```

If i do that, it work for all player already in the server

[tardy delta]

where is that player coming from?

[prime kraken]

But no for the new player wo join

[eternal oxide]

    public static void salaireJoueur() {

            Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskTimer(plugin, new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                 for (Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
                    p.sendMessage("Execute 1sc");
                 }
            }, 0, 20);

        }```

[prime kraken]

Ok i just had to switch

I will made like this

[iron glade]

Where am I supposed to find this "Add Framework Support" button??

Those explanations I found online are from like 2012

[heady spruce]

uhm, idk.

[iron glade]

Is there an easy fix for this?

Every § is some weird box with a ? inside now

[earnest forum]

dont use that character

[heady spruce]

just change the encoding to something else

[earnest forum]

use the ChatColors

[heady spruce]

use chatcolors, or just change the encoding to Cp1252 something else

[eternal oxide]

No

always use UTF-8

[hybrid spoke]

doesnt matter

[iron glade]

I hate to write it out every time my strings get really messy

[eternal oxide]

If you didn't save as UTF-8 you will get corrupt characters when you load it up as UTF-8

[heady spruce]

i never had problems with other encodings idk

[earnest forum]

yea change it to UTF-8 but that characters a lot more annoying to use

because u gotta copy paste it every time

[iron glade]

It was an old eclipse project which I just loaded in intellij

[eternal oxide]

You will when you start trying to use kanji or other Asian languages

[heady spruce]

yea, but my plugins are just private for my servers so. but yea thats true

[tender shard]

wtf

ALWAYS USE UTF8

[heady spruce]

ok

i understand

[vocal cloud]

Alcohol rant inc?

[tardy delta]

when is UTF16 becoming a thing

[tender shard]

when java switches to it by default

[eternal oxide]

wait till we get so many emoji we are upto UTF128

[vocal cloud]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-32 skip to 32

[tender shard]

wtf

no

[tardy delta]

🥳

[tender shard]

FIXED LENGTH?!

why fixed length

the big advantage of utf8 is that it's NOT fixed length

[vocal cloud]

Nothing quite like wasting hard drive space

The main disadvantage of UTF-32 is that it is space-inefficient, using four bytes per code point, including 11 bits that are always zero.

[tender shard]

well it's not about hard drive but it's a problem for stuff like embedded devices that only have like 4kb or sth

[eternal oxide]

Remember when we worked with Bits and Nibbles as most computers had 8k of memory. Those were the days.

[tender shard]

thank god I wasn't born back then lol

my first PC already had like 128 mb of ram

[eternal oxide]

The first computer I actually owned myself was in 1982. a Singlair ZX Spectrum.

Does anyone know why im getting this error?
What im trying to do is get an map from a Config that has ItemStacks, what i noticed it it works, but when the Item has a Meta, it wont work? Does anyone know why?

Here is some code:

public static void givePlayerKitWithCustomSort(Player p, Kit kit) {
        try {
            

            Map<Integer, Object> map = (Map<Integer, Object>) Main.yamlConfiguration.getValues(true).get("Koasyyassasin");
            System.out.println(map);
            for (int i = 0; i < kit.getKitSize(); i++) {
                if(map.get(i) == Material.AIR) {
                    continue;
                }
                p.getInventory().setItem(i, (ItemStack) map.get(i));
            }
        } catch (NullPointerException ex) {

        }

    }```
if there is something wrong just let me know.

[tardy delta]

bruh why dont you iterate over the itemstacks?

[tender shard]

you are trying to cast a HashMap to an ItemStack

[eternal oxide]

(ItemStack) map.get(i) will always fail

[tender shard]

instead of doing get, use getItemStack

[eternal oxide]

deserialize it, or use config.getItemStack

[heady spruce]

like this?

[eternal oxide]

try it and see?

[heady spruce]

still only works with the items that doesnt have an itemmeta.

[eternal oxide]

reading a properly serialized inventory```java
List<Map<String, Object>> inventory = (List<Map<String, Object>>) map.get("inventory");

for (Map<String, Object> item : inventory) {
ItemStack stack = ItemStack.deserialize(item);
this.items.add(stack);
}```

[prime kraken]

Does an API or something exist to do custom inventory size and not have a multiplier of 9 ?

[eternal oxide]

This is if you don;t use getItemStack

[tender shard]

no

that's not possible

the client doesn't understand it

[tardy delta]

hmm looks kinda clean now

[prime kraken]

Nice thanks !

[vocal cloud]

Forge

[iron glade]

Nice colours

[tardy delta]

[heady spruce]

i also want to get the slot where the item is for the kit sorter

wait nvm

i figured it out

[tardy delta]

dont abuse static or the uwu cat will die

[iron glade]

what's wrong here Caused by: org.yaml.snakeyaml.scanner.ScannerException: while scanning for the next token found character '\t(TAB)' that cannot start any token. (Do not use \t(TAB) for indentation)

Didn't use tab a single time

[tardy delta]

yaml uses spaces instead of tabs

[eternal oxide]

used Tab to indent instead of spaces

[tardy delta]

use a yaml validator to check

[iron glade]

I just wrote it completely new

[heady spruce]

no not the uwu cat

[iron glade]

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Jar does not contain plugin.yml

now it's getting funny

[tender shard]

you DID use tabs

[crimson terrace]

(/ω＼)

[heady spruce]

where do you have your plugin.yml

[crimson terrace]

(*/ω＼*)

there we go

[iron glade]

In my src folder

as always

[tender shard]

It's snorkel time! ٩(- ̮̮̃-̃)۶ uwu :3

[heady spruce]

weird, what ide do you use

[tender shard]

are you using maven?

[crimson terrace]

°w°

[tender shard]

it should normally be in /src/main/resources/

[heady spruce]

if you are using maven u have to put it in resources ig

[tardy delta]

-<

[iron glade]

I rewrote it and there I didn't 100%

[tardy delta]

°w°

nah

[heady spruce]

do you use maven?

[tender shard]

plugin.yml belongs to /src/main/resources/

[tardy delta]

fix your errors smh

[iron glade]

ah hell it got this project all messed when importing it from eclipse

[heady spruce]

bruh

[tender shard]

eclipse's maven integration is so shitty

[heady spruce]

yep

[iron glade]

the resources folder isnt even there lmao

[heady spruce]

bruh

[tender shard]

create it then

[trail pilot]

hello

[heady spruce]

hi do you need help or smth xd

[tender shard]

good morning

[trail pilot]

thanks u too

[heady spruce]

how are u

[trail pilot]

good u?

[tender shard]

lol

[heady spruce]

im good too

[tender shard]

noone asked me how I am :<

[tardy delta]

how are yu alex

[heady spruce]

oh, how are you? xd

[tender shard]

hangover and hungry lol

[trail pilot]

i can use java 8 with newest versions?

[tender shard]

no

1.18 requires java 17+

or are you talking about plugins?

[vocal cloud]

Yeah, thankfully

[trail pilot]

yes

[heady spruce]

every version i think has a different class version so you need a other java version

[tender shard]

you can compile a plugin against EVERY java version

[vocal cloud]

You shouldn't though

[tender shard]

I always compile and code my plugins for java 8

[trail pilot]

yay

[tardy delta]

i just switched to java16 for the patterns

[trail pilot]

most of cool things are in newest java versions

[heady spruce]

ye

[tender shard]

yeah true but also tbh there's no real reason to use newer versions code-wise imho

[trail pilot]

like new switch system are cool

[tender shard]

after java 8, nothing was added that's really like "required" or sth

[trail pilot]

yea

[tender shard]

I mean sure there's some nice features but it's really not worth it if you still wanna support 1.16

[vocal cloud]

Records are nice. Also instance of casts are nice.

[trail pilot]

yes

[tender shard]

true, but both can be replaced with very similar things using java 8

just create another local var for instanceof

and just create your own data class for the records

[trail pilot]

obv they are just optimized version

[iron glade]

whats going on here

[trail pilot]

lol

packages are fked

[iron glade]

indeed

[trail pilot]

you can only place classes on src/main/java

[iron glade]

yeah but idk why it's only src

[trail pilot]

then your group id - artifacts

[trail pilot]

added the modules

[tender shard]

use a Slash /

not a backslash \

[iron glade]

it did a \ automatically

[trail pilot]

new > directory > main - java

[tender shard]

weird

it doesn't do that for me

but anyway, you have to create a FOLDER, not a PACKAGE

[trail pilot]

its default

[tender shard]

if you upload your whole stuff on github I'll fix it quickly

[vocal cloud]

Incoming PR

[tender shard]

nah I want write perms lol

[vocal cloud]

[tender shard]

including their github password

credit card details

etc

[vocal cloud]

[trail pilot]

corect dir

[iron glade]

I think I got it

[trail pilot]

👍

[iron glade]

but this sheet just deleted the plugin.yml

lmao

[trail pilot]

here go plugin.yml

anyway just use

its the best thing

[vocal cloud]

Until it crashes and throws a huge tantrum

[iron glade]

now it says it doesnt find main class

[tender shard]

it's the worst

it's basically 100% useless for spigot

it's good for forge and stuff

[tender shard]

and it crashes my intelliJ like every day twice

[tender shard]

still wrong

rightclick on the "java" folder, then do "mark as sources root"

[trail pilot]

NAHHHHHH

[tender shard]

obviously click on "sources root" and not "Test sources root"

[tender shard]

did you right click the java folder?

[iron glade]

yes

[trail pilot]

its good for generate templates

[tender shard]

right click your pom.xml. is there an option (at the bottom) like "Load as Maven project" or sth?

[trail pilot]

just use minecraft dev ij plugin

even its worst

[tender shard]

how would that change anything

it has nothing to do with this

[trail pilot]

rn yea

[sharp flare]

how does one instantiate a sql db when a plugin starts, do u open a connection and close it every query or make a connection and close it on plugin disable

[tender shard]

basically, yes. but you should have more than one connection anyway. check out Hikari

HikariCP

[iron glade]

Not that

now?

[tender shard]

that looks good!

[sharp flare]

whats the pros against jdbc

[tender shard]

it keeps open a "pool" of connections and whenever you need one, it gives one to you. in JDBC you have to care about that yourself

[iron glade]

I reloaded the project then it gave me the option to select as sources root

[tender shard]

ah perfect. yeah it should be fine now

do you also have a resources folder now?

[sharp flare]

so I never have to worry about closing any connections?

[trail pilot]

oh wow i dont really remember how to setup an plugin lmao

[tender shard]

oh no you still have to close them

[sharp flare]

oh aight

[tender shard]

just create a pom.xml, add spigot as dependency, create a plugin.yml and a main class that extends javaplugin, and that's it

[tender shard]

https://blog.jeff-media.com/how-to-create-your-first-minecraft-plugin-using-the-spigot-api-and-maven/

[trail pilot]

imagine using maven instead of Beautiful gradle

[iron glade]

it's still saying it doesn't find main class wth

[tender shard]

both are fine

but imho maven is WAAAY easier to use

[trail pilot]

tf, and why for me is hard asf

[tender shard]

english seems to be hard too lol

[trail pilot]

it is

[tardy delta]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[trail pilot]

:'

[vocal cloud]

I have to use Gradle with forge and it's a moment

[trail pilot]

yea lmao

[tender shard]

I really dislike gradle because it uses a weird syntax, has a ton of integrated "lifecycles" that noone needs, always needs to download a huge 150 mb wrapper script that needs to constantly run in the background, etc etc

It's however also very powerful, sure

TL;DR: Both maven and gradle are fine and whoever prefers X will always dislike Y

but yeah both are totally fine to use

[trail pilot]

yea

[trail pilot]

i agree

[tender shard]

I learnt maven first so maven is my boooi

[trail pilot]

me gradle

[tender shard]

in fact I really hated maven at first lol

I had some discussion with someone about it on github

[trail pilot]

lol

[tender shard]

https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/ChestSort/pull/7

[heady spruce]

and i just ruined everything lol

[tender shard]

this dude spent like 5 hours explaining maven to me

I am so glad he did that

[trail pilot]

oh lol

im too lazy for read that

[tender shard]

understandable lol

[trail pilot]

anyway lombok is cool!

[tender shard]

I like it too

but don't say it too loud here

[vocal cloud]

No

[tender shard]

most people here hate it for no obvious reason

[eternal needle]

tested it and i see it crash the server still

[heady spruce]

same

[trail pilot]

why

[tender shard]

^

[trail pilot]

oh

lmfao

i use lombok for forge dev

[tender shard]

how to trigger people:

public class Test {
    
    public static final Test INSTANCE;
    
    private static Test getInstance() {
        return null;
    }
}

@Getter

[heady spruce]

im officialy the most stupid person on the earth, im wondering why the map is empty but i clear the inventory before i add them

[trail pilot]

oh nooo i said it!!!

[tender shard]

https://tenor.com/view/joke-dumb-you-gif-8906255

[heady spruce]

r/wooosh would be better xd

[tender shard]

the joke is that the field is public but the getter is private and that the instance is always null anyway

[trail pilot]

LMFAOOO

[trail pilot]

bruh i know xd

[vocal cloud]

The only reason I don't like Lombok is cause it's Lombok

If it was Lombawk I'd be pretty ok with it

[trail pilot]

damnnn

[tardy delta]

aaaaa

[tender shard]

lol

[iron glade]

you gotta be shittin me, this thing set the package in the main class to main.java.me.minesuchtiiii.autoequip;

and exported without errors

[trail pilot]

oh wtf

[echo basalt]

you haven't seen anything

[tender shard]

that's because you moved the files BEFORE setting the new directory as sources root

[echo basalt]

spigot code can be pretty triggering sometime

mfs do unsafe casts everywhere

[iron glade]

ah shit yea makes sense

[tender shard]

just do Ctrl+Shift+R and replace all "main.java.me" with "me"

[trail pilot]

(long)int test = 1;```

[echo basalt]

this block only made the server crash 45 times when I tried to wrap CraftServer

[trail pilot]

;))

[tender shard]

that's auto generated code

[vocal cloud]

Waiting for the person who has yet to learn about for loops to post code

[iron glade]

thanks, finally it's loading

[tender shard]

yeah I know how you feel lol

had those problems myself way too often

it's always when people use eclipse, then switch to maven, and now you try to import in intellij

[iron glade]

please tell me that's not always the case when importing from eclipse

[trail pilot]

}```

hihih

[tender shard]

nope, as explained

[heady spruce]

wait i just fixed my error without even trying to fix it

[tender shard]

it happens when you do "normal eclipse project -> maven eclipse project -> intellij"

[trail pilot]

which is better

for loop or forEach

[tender shard]

depends

do you need the index?

no -> foreach
yes -> for

techincally both are the same

[trail pilot]

yea

[tender shard]

javac internally still creates an index but you can't access it

the bytecode end up being the same

[trail pilot]

Iterator?

[tardy delta]

Collection::forEach kekw

[tender shard]

an iterator is only useful if you need it

lol

[tender shard]

yeah java 8 is heaven sent

[trail pilot]

who gonna use it?

[tender shard]

an iterator?

[eternal oxide]

iterator when you want to modify the Collection as you process it

[trail pilot]

yes

[tender shard]

well for example if you iterate over collection and want to remove stuff

[vocal cloud]

I didn't know how much of 8 I didn't know untill I watched an old video from the release of 8 on what was new

[tender shard]

for example this won't work:

for(String string : myStringList) myStringList.remove(string);

you need an iterator for this ^

[vocal cloud]

removeif which takes in a consumer or w/e it's called

[trail pilot]

yea i know that, but like when you code a plugin

[tender shard]

yeah but sometimes you might want to loop and do other stuff as well

[trail pilot]

switch(type) {
case 1 -> {
// code
 }
}```

i dunno but i like that syntax

[tender shard]

for example stuff like this

[tardy delta]

wait do you still need a case label in the new switch?

[trail pilot]

jdk 14

[tardy delta]

im probably confusing it with rust rn

[tender shard]

no

[tardy delta]

ah im java17

[trail pilot]

im java8

[tender shard]

the enhanced switch was added in java 12

[trail pilot]

wait i dont remember lol

[vocal cloud]

Yeah the new switch is pretty slick.

[trail pilot]

i just read it somewhere

[tender shard]

it's nice but you can do the same thing since like forever

at least for the syntax thing

it does offer some new things though that cannot be done in java 8

[trail pilot]

syntax is more sexy

[tardy delta]

well you need a case

[tender shard]

but I dont remember which exactly

[tardy delta]

this wont work

[trail pilot]

yea

case 1 -> {
}```

that

[tender shard]

that can be done

just the syntax is different

[trail pilot]

not in java 8

:'

[sacred mountain]

then upgrade

[tender shard]

of course

[sacred mountain]

java 16

[trail pilot]

still

case 1: {
}```

```java
case 1: //code

[tender shard]

public static void main(String[] args) {
        int myInt = 1;
        switch(myInt) {
            case 1:
                System.out.println("one");
                break;
            case 2:
                System.out.println("two");
                break;
        }

[sacred mountain]

can run on 1.8

[tender shard]

it's exactly the same thing

[robust zenith]

Hi guys, can I run plugins i created with Java 17/18 running a Server Version buildt in 1.8 for example creating a plugin in java 17 and using paper 1.12?

[tender shard]

no

you should do your plugins in the oldest java version you wanna support

if you want to do a plugin that should run on java 8 (spigot 1.12) you must compile your plugin for java 8

[trail pilot]

make plugin in the newest version then make an wrapper for it

[tender shard]

I ALWAYS code for java 8 unless I know this plugin is for 1.17 or 1.18+ anyway

[tender shard]

good luck with that lol

[trail pilot]

that is ur options

[robust zenith]

Yeah i am trying to do stuff with NMS but on what i can see something is not working in older minecraft version... for example i have problems with npc textures

[vocal cloud]

Just use that new Minecraft server rewrite that doesn't use any Mojang code

[trail pilot]

or make an thing that i dont remember cuz i dont have a good memory

[tardy delta]

well uh im trying to load an user from the database, and that user has alot of data like a list of homes, cooldowns, a kingdom. So should i load all of these within a new preparedstatement or what? im confused

[tender shard]

you can download more RAM

https://downloadmoreram.com/

[trail pilot]

YEAAA

how to implement it on my brain?

[tardy delta]

what is that site even doing

[tender shard]

nothing lol

[trail pilot]

its just a troll

nothing

[tardy delta]

fun

[trail pilot]

yea really funny

[tender shard]

https://wie-lange-noch.jeff-media.com/ btw guys, only 32 days left

[trail pilot]

xdd

[tardy delta]

anyways give me an answer for my question lol

[tender shard]

what was your question?

[trail pilot]

any english version?

[tardy delta]

[tender shard]

it just says "32 days, 12 hours, ..."

[trail pilot]

i know xd

[kindred valley]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[trail pilot]

well i hate database

[tender shard]

you can do it however you like. if you need all of that data often: load it all at once, when they join or sth. that also makes you don't have to worry about async stuff all the time

[tardy delta]

the databases hates you too 🙉

[tender shard]

I'd definitely load their data on join at once

[trail pilot]

naahhh

[tardy delta]

i'm planning on loading all its data when they join and then cache it in the playerdata class

[rapid rock]

is there any way i can change intensity of rain maybe making it drop more water or smth

or am i delusional

[tender shard]

yes that sounds like a good idea and I'd do it the same

[tardy delta]

im just wondering how to implement the queries as i need multiple queries from different tables

[tender shard]

nope

the rain animation is 100% client side

[trail pilot]

where are java base code docs for be a good dev?

[tender shard]

all the server does is to tell the client "it rains now"

[rapid rock]

so texturepack to make it look intense?

is that what i am limited to

[trail pilot]

yes

[tender shard]

java base code docs? you mean the javadocs for "included" stuff like java.util.List?

[tender shard]

yes

[rapid rock]

alr

[trail pilot]

well no

javadoc rules

to respect

like myMethod()

ect i dont really remember some rules xd

[kindred valley]

Is there any tutorial to make the custom items with texture packs

[tender shard]

https://www.oracle.com/technical-resources/articles/java/javadoc-tool.html

[vocal cloud]

Java conventions 🤤

[tender shard]

I don't know any but I could send you a tiny resource pack that includes a few songs and a custom model data for a music disc lol

[trail pilot]

thanks

anyway why ppl here hate static methods or fields?

[kindred valley]

i mean is it possible?

[tender shard]

because they don't know what static means and when to use it and when not to

[tender shard]

you can NOT create new items. all you can do is to make existing items look different when they have a certain integer value for "custom model data"

[trail pilot]

static are cool

:notreally:

[tender shard]

depends

https://blog.jeff-media.com/static-methods-and-fields-when-to-use-them-and-when-to-avoid-them/

[kindred valley]

Cant i make it via PDC

[tender shard]

if you want custom textures, you HAVE to also set the customModelData value

[trail pilot]

static are for utils

[tender shard]

not only for that

static is for stuff that regards the class itself

static is for stuff that doesn't change between instances of this class

example:

[trail pilot]

yes

[tender shard]

public class Person {
  private final static int MAX_AGE = 150;
  private final String name;
  private int age;
  public Person(String name, int age) {
    this.name = name;
    if (age <= MAX_AGE) {
      this.age = age;
    } else {
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("No one can be older than 150 years!");
    }
  }
  public void setAge(int age) {
    if (age <= MAX_AGE) {
      this.age = age;
    } else {
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("No one can be older than 150 years!");
    }
  }
}

[trail pilot]

Person.MAX_AGE lol

[tender shard]

MAX_AGE is common between all persons in this case

so it's static

bad example of course but you get what I mean lol

also singletons

[trail pilot]

yes xd

[tender shard]

e.g. Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()

[trail pilot]

yes its static

[tender shard]

obviously you never have more than one server running

so yeah the server is a singleton

same for every plugin

[trail pilot]

yea

[tender shard]

all plugins are singletons by design

[trail pilot]

gtg

[tender shard]

so in theory, EVERY field in the main class could be static

[tender shard]

cya

[trail pilot]

yes

[iron glade]

is there a way to compare armor by its strength?

[tender shard]

what exactly do you mean with "strength"?

[robust zenith]

i have problems taking signature of player (SKIN nms)

[iron glade]

like gold armor is better than leather armor

[tender shard]

just compare their maxDurability

but tbh there's only IRON, LEATHER, DIAMOND, etc

it's only 5 or 6 types anyway

[iron glade]

I want to make a player automatically equip armor from ground if it's better than his current armor

[tender shard]

okay but now imagine this

someone could have a leather chestplate that's insanely enchanted

so it's way better than iron armor

[iron glade]

yeah true I guess I have to take that into consideration

[quaint mantle]

wait, why not replace the duplicated method to the setAge?

[tender shard]

yeah it was just an example

[quaint mantle]

ah okay

[tender shard]

I just wanted to show people that "static" isn't automatically bad

because MAX_AGE will always be 150 for every person

I know the example is stupid

[quaint mantle]

yup
