spigot-api is on a repository

[sacred mountain]

best way to write this?

[tardy delta]

Validate.notNulls smh

[eternal oxide]

never seen it like that. all the tutorials and gradle wiki show without. But I use Maven so...

[sacred mountain]

oh

[tardy delta]

or just a for loop lol

[humble tulip]

Is that from my verify class?

😂

That's so old

[trail pilot]

they have custom repo for maven so for gradle is

repositories

[humble tulip]

I doubt i even use it

[ivory sleet]

iirc nope

[sacred mountain]

nah i accidentially deleted it

[vivid hill]

I am new to java and i dont really now how this works

[ivory sleet]

since it sends player info packet

[sacred mountain]

and now the mysql manager doesnt work

mfao

oh

[ivory sleet]

tho, string you could resend a new player info packet

to add em to the tablist

[eternal oxide]

I'm referring to your url =' part. All the examples show url '

[sacred mountain]

it rreturns ("The validated object is null")

not a boolean

[trail pilot]

its right

[eternal oxide]

ok

[trail pilot]

wtf 1.18.1 work and 1.18.2 no

tf

[sterile token]

Oh allright

[sacred mountain]

yez

[sterile token]

Noo its hurts my eyes

[sacred mountain]

yez

[sterile token]

I would use a lovevly foreach :D

[sacred mountain]

i tried but

i dont know how to return from a lambda

[trail pilot]

same

[lost matrix]

thats a foreach.

[sterile token]

Hmn

[trail pilot]

lombok hihihih

[thorn isle]

Use arrays.aslist instead

[sacred mountain]

ight

[lost matrix]

There is not much you can do here. If you wanted to use a functional foreach then you would have to stream them which would be unnecessary overhead.

[sacred mountain]

why?

[thorn isle]

List.of is less efficient

[sacred mountain]

mk

[thorn isle]

Because it has to clone the array

[sacred mountain]

yeah alr

[tall dragon]

yea idk why alot of people are so obsessed with using streams

[sacred mountain]

ive never used a stream idk it looks ehhh

[warm saddle]

Heyo how would I go about make a Bukkit Runnable that used a random time each time in a range?

[lost matrix]

  public static boolean isNotNull(Object... objects) {
    return Arrays.stream(objects).allMatch(Objects::nonNull);
  }

[sacred mountain]

oh nice

[sterile token]

objects.stream() ?

[ivory sleet]

I mean, they're nice

[sacred mountain]

doesnt exist

[ivory sleet]

and as soon as valhalla is delivered they will be competitive with normal loops

[tall dragon]

they are. but is it rlly needed for looping over a simple list just to null check?

[lost matrix]

You would recursively let a runnable reschedule itself with a different time,

[ivory sleet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sacred mountain]

yaeh ive seen it

looks really nice

[ivory sleet]

you've seen it?

[sacred mountain]

the valhalla project

[ivory sleet]

I mean not everything of it is delivered yet

like universal generics is still preview or candidate iirc

but ye

some of it is delivered

[sterile token]

BuildTools doesnt work. It says starting process for building spigot but it doesnt do anything else. And if i try to close it it tells process x is running do you want to cancel it

[vivid hill]

Loading BuildTools version: git-BuildTools-1fbeb7f-147 (#147)
Java Version: Java 17
Current Path: C:\Users\toron\OneDrive\Desktop\buildpath\.
Please do not run BuildTools in a Dropbox, OneDrive, or similar. You can always copy the completed jars there later.

This happens when i load build tools it doesnt open a consol it just gives me a file

[kind hatch]

Why does no one read?

[tall dragon]

well what does it say....

[sterile token]

Same to me

[vivid hill]

?

[tall dragon]

Please do not run BuildTools in a Dropbox, OneDrive, or similar. You can always copy the completed jars there later.

[vivid hill]

I created a new folder for it

but

[tall dragon]

so?

[vivid hill]

that isnt a dropbox OneDrive

[tall dragon]

its stilll in there

[chrome beacon]

Your desktop is inside OneDrive

[vivid hill]

oh

[kind hatch]

^

[chrome beacon]

Put your folder somewhere else

[vivid hill]

for example add it to dokumets=

[sacred mountain]

@ivory sleet whats the difference between your

return Arrays.stream(objects).allMatch(Objects::nonNull);```
and
```java
return !Arrays.stream(objects).anyMatch(Objects::isNull);```

just an idea since it might be faster to finish at one null

[sterile token]

! will negate

[sacred mountain]

instead of check them all

[sacred mountain]

yeah thats the pooint

my brain isnt braining

one sec

[sterile token]

Are cryptos allow on spigot? Not mining

[lost matrix]

@AllArgsConstructor
public class SelfRepeatingRandomTimeRunnable extends BukkitRunnable {

  private final JavaPlugin plugin;
  private final Runnable wrappedRunnable;
  private final int minTime;
  private final int maxTime;

  @Override
  public void run() {
    wrappedRunnable.run();
    int delay = ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(minTime, maxTime);
    new SelfRepeatingRandomTimeRunnable(plugin, wrappedRunnable, minTime, maxTime).runTaskLater(plugin, delay);
  }

}

[sacred mountain]

ok nvm yeah my question still works

[kind hatch]

Define cryptos.

[sterile token]

like im thinking an idea for the future creating a plugin that represent crypto but for minecraft

Basically mc player mining but fake crypto

Do i explain?

[tall dragon]

something similar to this? https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/stock-market-plugin-1-8-1-18.54564/

[sacred mountain]

better to use ```java

    return Arrays.stream(objects).noneMatch(Objects::isNull);``` for the second one i think

[rain echo]

Hi! Should I create a separated class for my every custom inventory, or can I create only one and add all the events there?

[frank stone]

I'm pretty new to spigot and just made my first plugin which changes the join and quit message for players. I'm now wondering if there is a way to remove the color prefix from the message in the console. I don't want my logs to be in color or anything. What I want is that the console logs,

[22:03:35] [Server thread/INFO]: swamp4frog has left.
instead of
[22:03:35] [Server thread/INFO]: §eswamp4frog§r has left.

[sterile token]

Yeah

[sacred mountain]

coc

[tall dragon]

well then yea

it should be fine

[sterile token]

My goal is to add a think that x time mines x amount of an int a crypto

[lost matrix]

I think this already exists

[sterile token]

Oh i lol

I will check

[lost matrix]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/cryptomining.93642/

[kind hatch]

Well as long as it isn’t real crypto mining, you should be fine.

[sterile token]

It doesnt touch real cryptos

[sacred mountain]

        return Arrays.stream(objects).allMatch(Objects::nonNull);
        return Arrays.stream(objects).noneMatch(Objects::isNull);```
whats the difference

[kind hatch]

Personal preference. It’s up to you how you want to manage your code.

[rain echo]

okay

thanks for the answer

[ivory sleet]

none

[sacred mountain]

ok

[green prism]

OHH!! Thanksss!

PreparedStatement ps = plugin.getMySQL().getConnection().prepareStatement("INSERT IGNORE INFO agencies " + "(ID,AgencyName,AgencyOwner,Balance,MaxBalance) VALUES (NULL,?,?,?,?)");
Seems not valid wtf hmhm
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'agencies (ID,AgencyName,AgencyOwner,Balance,MaxBalance) VALUES (NULL,'Microsoft...'

[eternal oxide]

an AgnecyName that starts Microsoft ?

[green prism]

yep

It's the given Agency Name

[lost matrix]

If you have Intellij then just connect it with your DB. It has auto completion, syntax highlighting and it can find errors in your statements.

[humble tulip]

Did u mean to do insert info or into?

[green prism]

r u kidding?

wow thanks

[tall dragon]

does that require ultimate?

[lost matrix]

Uhm... maybe

[tall dragon]

😦

[green prism]

i'm poor

free* budget for this plug-in

[lost matrix]

not sure. But if you are a student (school or university, doesnt matter) then you get it for free

[tall dragon]

yeaa

but im not

[lost matrix]

F

[tall dragon]

and its way too expensive imo for someone just hobbying

for companies. sure i can understand the price

[sacred mountain]

hey uh

theres nothing in this file

and theres no error message

what do i do with it

[tall dragon]

its like 150 euros a year

[lost matrix]

Its 12$ per month. Not too bad.

[green prism]

in Italy the most they give us is the problematic electronic register developed by a pokemon

[sterile token]

Why still Command#getName()?

[tall dragon]

actually i was looking at the organization pricing

its not that bad. but idk if im willing to pay that just to have sql support

[untold jewel]

How would I make args[0] from commandclass usable in a Listener class

[tall dragon]

is there anything else usefull?

[sacred mountain]

i need a lil hepl with the sqlite and mysql part of that

[green prism]

anyway... Do you have any idea?

[lost matrix]

I use quite a few features now. But for onw feature it isnt worth it.

[sterile token]

I can help u

What do you need

[eternal oxide]

did you fix INFO to INTO?

[green prism]

ah

hm

[sterile token]

LightFurry i can help you, what the issue?

[sacred mountain]

its already written but im not sure why the file is red

is that github

or an error

[sterile token]

You are asking why the file is in red?

[sacred mountain]

yes

[sterile token]

But hy you care if it works?

[untold jewel]

How would I make args[0] from commandclass usable in a Listener class

[sacred mountain]

as in

i think theres like

autocomplete for the syntax

if i connect to the database

but i cant see any database thing anywhere

[sacred mountain]

o

thank

[subtle folio]

is there way to auto import in intellij?

[lost matrix]

Arguments of methods only live within the method. When its done, the whole scope gets cleaned up until the next call.

[sacred mountain]

do i need to put the database.db in the resources folder before testing connection?

[untold jewel]

I'm making a target plugin where you do /target [player]. Opens a GUI which inside you can use different InventoryClicks to effect the targetted player

[sacred mountain]

and will just database.db work in the name field

because you put something that looks like a path

[lost matrix]

There are hundreds of ways of approaching this. Just use an object oriented approach. Very basic Java.

[lost matrix]

The most trivial i can come up with is a

Map<Inventory, Player> inventoryTargetMap

[elder birch]

i have a question

[lost matrix]

Yes its done naturally. Never had to import a single type by hand...

[sacred mountain]

uh

[subtle folio]

If i type fast it asks me to import later

[green prism]

@eternal oxide Workz!!! Thanks bro, you made my day 🙂

[elder birch]

how do i setup a region to spawn mobs

[lost matrix]

Define what you mean by "setup" and "region"

[untold jewel]

I wouldnt know how to implement this

[lost matrix]

I would use a BoundingBox with a task that spawns mobs inside.

[glass mauve]

how can I turn Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() into List<Player>?
is this valid? Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().stream().map(Player::getPlayer).collect(Collectors.toList());

[subtle folio]

Maybe learn java first..

[lost matrix]

Then you need to learn the basics of java. Only takes 3 weeks. 2 if you are passionate.

[sterile token]

Stream#anyMatch return a booleans right?

[ivory sleet]

yes

[elder birch]

i mean i just need to create an area that i can spawn mobs in using my already writen cod i can send screen shots if needed

[lost matrix]

iirc it actually returns a List<Player> already (which is shadowed by a Collection). Just cast it and see what happens.

[glass mauve]

it returns Collection<? extends Player>

[ivory sleet]

List<CraftPlayer> iirc

[glass mauve]

im not sure if cast works

[ivory sleet]

but ye

that stream works

[sacred mountain]

aight ive done this, how do i view the database? i dont see any of the columns i added showing up

[lost matrix]

Question is: Why do you need a List?

[elder birch]

i mean i just need to create an area that i can spawn mobs in using my already writen can i can send screen shots if needed

[glass mauve]

bc of a different method

[sacred mountain]

its grey

[subtle folio]

List<Player> playersAvaible = new ArrayList<>();
        for (Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            playersAvaible.add(player);
        }```

[sacred mountain]

i cant click that though

[subtle folio]

List

[lost matrix]

This looks like an addAll with extra steps

[ivory sleet]

probably wanna set initial capacity

[subtle folio]

Why would that effect anything?

[sacred mountain]

idk where my getOnlinePlayers comes from but its interesting

[lost matrix]

Also ArrayList has a bulk constructor.

  public List<Player> getOnlinePlayerList() {
    return new ArrayList<>(Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers());
  }

[subtle folio]

ok fam

[glass mauve]

👍

[elder birch]

i mean i just need to create an area that i can spawn mobs in using my already writen cod i can send screen shots if needed

[lost matrix]

I would define the area on a lower level (architectural wise) as a BoundingBox. Getting a random Vector inside should be pretty easy.
So just do that and then let a scheduler spawn mobs there.

[elder birch]

i already have a random vector so makes it easier

[sacred mountain]

whats the best way to get all players with a certain attribute? like if theyre in creative mode, they have a permission, theyre in the nether, etc

is there an easy syntax for it or do i just for loop it

well not easy syntax,. but efficient

[tall dragon]

if you want to do it based on all kinds of different attributes

[lost matrix]

2 ways:

1. Track them when states change.
2. Iterate over them and filter

[sacred mountain]

public static Collection<? extends Player> getWorldPlayers(World world) {
        List<Player> players = new ArrayList<>();
        for (Player player : BukkitUtils.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            if (Objects.equals(player.getWorld(), world)) {
                players.add(player);
            }
        }
        return players;
    }```
something better than this

[tall dragon]

you could make a method that tests using a predicate

[ornate patio]

How do i give a play a water bottle? all drinkable items fall under the item "potion"

[sacred mountain]

yea not too sure about predicate

[tall dragon]

because?

[sacred mountain]

no as in

never used them

im googling lol

[tall dragon]

wait let me show u

[sacred mountain]

alr

iirc its the arg before the lambda

or is that wrong

[sterile token]

Where i cando recomm for spigot?

Is there a page for recommendation?

[lost matrix]

For the iterative approach:

  // Abstraction
  public List<? extends Player> getAllPlayersWhere(Predicate<Player> filter) {
    return Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().stream().filter(filter).toList();
  }

  // Example implementations
  public List<? extends Player> getAllCreativePlayers() {
    return getAllPlayersWhere(player -> player.getGameMode() == GameMode.CREATIVE);
  }

  public List<? extends Player> getAllLowHealthPlayer() {
    return getAllPlayersWhere(player -> player.getHealth() < 5);
  }

[ornate patio]

?

[tall dragon]

    public void test()
    {
        getPlayers((player) ->
        {
            return player.getGameMode() == GameMode.CREATIVE
        });
    }

    public Set<Player> getPlayers(Predicate<Player> condition)
    {
        Set<Player> players = new HashSet<>();
        for (Player onlinePlayer : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            if (condition.test(onlinePlayer)) players.add(onlinePlayer);
        }
        return players;
    }

for example

[elder birch]

public void spawnMobs(int size, int mobCap, int spawnTime) {
task = new BukkitRunnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
int spawnAmount = (int) (Math.random() * (mobCap + 1)), count = 0;
while(count <= spawnAmount) {
count++;
int ranX = getRandomWithNeg(size), ranZ = getRandomWithNeg(size);
Block block = world.getHighestBlockAt(ranX, ranZ);
Location loc = block.getLocation().clone().add(0, 1, 0);

                world.spawnEntity(loc, EntityType.ZOMBIE);
            }
        }

    }.runTaskTimer(this, 0L, spawnTime);
}

@Override
public void onDisable() {
    Bukkit.getLogger().info("Plugin Disabled");
}

private int getRandomWithNeg(int size) {
    int random = (int) (Math.random() * (size +1));
    if (Math.random() > 0.5) random *= -1;
    return random;
}

}

[sacred mountain]

ow

[tall dragon]

wowww

[elder birch]

that the code handleing the mob spawning currently

[tall dragon]

please use ?paste for alot of code

[elder birch]

okay soz

[subtle folio]

0L 😦

[sacred mountain]

so what exactly is the condition?

[elder birch]

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[sacred mountain]

gotta go fast

[tall dragon]

its testing if the players are in gamemode creative

[sacred mountain]

infinitely fast infact

[tall dragon]

that will now return a Set of only all online players that are in creative mode

[ornate patio]

the entire Potion class seems to be deprecated...

[elder birch]

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

this is it

[sacred mountain]

okay

[lost matrix]

Mine is one line so it runs faster

[sacred mountain]

which method do you think is better?

[elder birch]

so how could i implement the BoundingBox into my current code

[tall dragon]

fine, fine you win

[sacred mountain]

lo

l

[tall dragon]

cant argue with that logic

[sacred mountain]

true true

[tall dragon]

but smile's example is doing bassically the same thing

its pretty neat

[sacred mountain]

Thread.sleep(50000)

fast

because like

its one line

[tall dragon]

System.exit(1);

[glass mauve]

how can I use TabCompleter for two args

[tall dragon]

faster 😄

[sacred mountain]

yesyes

[crude loom]

You can check the length oh the args list

[lost matrix]

First improvement i would apply.

    private int getRandomWithNeg(int size) {
        int random = (int) (Math.random() * (size +1));
        if (Math.random() > 0.5) random *= -1;
        return random;
    }

to

  private int getRandomWithNeg(int size) {
    return ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(-size, size + 1);
  }

[elder birch]

makes sense thats

thanks*

[glass mauve]

I dont get it, how can I check which argument im at

[lost matrix]

Now all you need to do is span a BoundingBox and select a random vector withing that box inside your runnable.

[glass mauve]

nvm

[elder birch]

Block block = world.getHighestBlockAt(ranX, ranZ); is returning as null and i cant seem to figure out why

[ornate patio]

is it possible to get rid of this "No Effects" lore from a water bottle?

[lost matrix]

world is probably null

[ornate patio]

I've already tried waterBottleMeta.setLore(null); but it doesn't work

[crude loom]

@Override
public List<String> onTabComplete(CommandSender sender, Command command, String alias, String[] args) {
   if(command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("yourcommand"){
   if(args.length == 1)
      return Arrays.asList("first autocomplete")
   else if(args.length == 2)
      return Arrays.asList("second autocomplete")
  }

}

[glass mauve]

yea already got it

[elder birch]

??? why would that be

[lament swallow]

String[] words = event.getMessage().split(" ");
for(String word : words) {
    for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
        if(p.getName().equals(word)){
            p.playSound(player.getLocation(), Sound.ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP, 2, 1);
            event.setMessage(event.getMessage().replaceAll(p.getName(), ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&a&o" + p.getName() + "&r&f")));
        }
    }
}```
Anybody knows why this doesn't play the the sound to a mentionned player in the chat?

[lost matrix]

ItemFlag.somethingHidePotionsMetaOrWhatever

[worldly ingot]

There's a fun Vector#getRandom() method too which solves a lot of problems already. Multiply it by a scalar and you're good to go
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/util/Vector.html#getRandom()

[ornate patio]

oh right

thanks

[lost matrix]

Because world is never initialized

[lost matrix]

Im guessing p.getName() doesnt equal word
Add a sysout before and after the if statement to check

[lament swallow]

it works when you mention your self tho

lemme check

[crude loom]

maybe you should use equlsignorecase ?

[lost matrix]

Ah yeah. But this will only work if the BoundingBox is a cube.

[ornate patio]

is there a lower and upper bound to AbstractHorse#getJumpStrength()

[lost matrix]

You should use Bukkit.getPlayer(String) instead

[ornate patio]

or can i have spaceship horse with 1000 block jump height

[lost matrix]

Try it out and tell us

[lament swallow]

me?

[lost matrix]

Yes

[tall dragon]

as far as i know it will always be a player

[lost matrix]

I have yet to find an occasion where a mere HumanEntity clicks an Inventory...

[tall dragon]

how do i do?

[lost matrix]

Fine i guess? Thats a random question...

Just blindly cast it. And tell no one i said that.

[crimson comet]

I'm getting a regression between my tests with mc 1.17.1-1.18.2 and 1.19 with my HeadSweeper plugin. It works fine in 1.18.2 and earlier, but when using spigot or paper 1.19 the head seems to lose its nbt data and just becomes a steve head. This only happens when the head is left-clicked, not when it is right-clicked. Attached is the piece of code that should cancel the player interact event. Any idea why this could be happening? Is this a client-side or a server-side issue?

[lost matrix]

Just ask the one who clicked politely. In most cases they will just tell you if they are a player or not.

[tall dragon]

https://gyazo.com/e5488227cb928414d5f624a8e43a1ee3 🙂

[lost matrix]

Are you sure this is not a rate limiting problem?

[hybrid spoke]

what if my housepig clicked it

[crimson comet]

It happens consistently in 1.19 and never happens in 1.18.2 and earlier. All tested servers are using Java 17. They are run from the same pc and on the same port (not at the same time).

[lost matrix]

Put a wig on it and treat it as the average 1.8 player.

[covert karma]

whats the "heart beating" sound effect that hypixel uses in murder mystery assassin mode

[hybrid spoke]

modern slavery, i like

[lost matrix]

btw why do you use metadata?

[rain meadow]

I have a problem with my InventoryClickEvent where it is only being registered when I click on an item out of an inventory. I'm trying to detect when a player places an item into a gui instead

[crimson comet]

Plugin was originally created for 1.7.x 😄

[lost matrix]

oof

[crimson comet]

But I think the metadata isnt the issue, because the other code afterwards does run.

[lost matrix]

Can you check with a second client if the head changes for them if the initial player clicks it? Then we can tell if its client or server side.

[crimson comet]

Good idea. I'll get a friend to join and check

[lost matrix]

Dont check for the clicked inventory but the primary inventory involved in the event.

[elder birch]

i dont understand why i wouldnt be initialised becasue i have a line in onEnable saying Bukkit.getWorld("world");

and a line establashing world and a World

[lost matrix]

Im guessing you are doing something like this in your main class:

private final World world = Bukkit.getWorld("world");

But this code is being run way before any worlds exist.
You need to run your code in your onEnable:

public void onEnable() {
  this.world = Bukkit.getWorlds().get(0);
}

[elder birch]

Thacks for the help!!

[rain meadow]

I'm using e.getInventory

If I use the actual inventory

it dont work

[cinder spindle]

Hey
I have an existing plugin what uses gradle, but I cant import spigot library into the project, can anyone help me? 🙂

[rain meadow]

pretty sure

[lost matrix]

How do you add spigot as a dependency?

[lost matrix]

Read

[cinder spindle]

I can handle that, I just need the gradle thing

I've never used gradle

[pale egret]

idk why, my code is not working can someone help me https://pastebin.com/41yWJ2jm

[lost matrix]

Well... Just make sure that your never add spigot (or any library for that matter) manually to your project and always use the dependency manager for it.
Then you should be fine.

[lost matrix]

First of all: The reformatting
https://paste.md-5.net/jahotidoki.java

[rain meadow]

Have you registered it in your main and plugin yml?

[ornate patio]

more of a Java question, but

private static <E extends Enum<E>> E getRandom() {
    Random random = new Random();
    return E.values()[random.nextInt(E.values().length)];
}

I'm trying to make this method return a random enum value from a given enum, but I'm getting The method values() is undefined for the type E. What's the correct way to do this?

[eternal oxide]

First off, this is a CommandExecutor so it must be registered. In which case you don;t need to check the label nor the permission. set the permission for the command in your plugin.yml

[pale egret]

I did this

wait, I need to set the permission in the plugin.yml

[quartz basalt]

vault is a dependency in my plugin and i have
private boolean setupEconomy() { if (getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("Vault") == null) { return false; } RegisteredServiceProvider<Economy> rsp = getServer().getServicesManager().getRegistration(Economy.class); if (rsp == null) { return false; } econ = rsp.getProvider(); return true; } public static Economy getEconomy() { return econ; }
whjcih is called when my plugin is enabled but whenever i use getEconomy() its always null, why is this happening? vault is on my server, its a dependency, so this makes no sense

  - Vault```

[eternal oxide]

you are probably storing your economy reference before vault/the eco plugin has started

[pale egret]

do i need to put the permission in the plugin.yml

[eternal oxide]

Do you even have an eco plugin?

[lost matrix]

You need more runtime context. E is erased.

[eternal oxide]

yes

each command has its own permision

permission: plugin.gmc

wdym

do i take in the enum class as a parameter instead?

[lost matrix]

Like this for example:

  private static <E extends Enum<E>> E getRandom(Class<E> enumClass) {
    Random random = ThreadLocalRandom.current();
    E[] constants = enumClass.getEnumConstants();
    return constants[random.nextInt(constants.length)];
  }

[ornate patio]

i did not know getEnumConstants was a thing

thanks

[eternal oxide]

debug some of those return false in the setupEconomy. See where its failing

add some sysouts to see how far its getting

already have it thinks vault doesnt exist

but it 100% does

[lost matrix]

Do you depend on Vault in your plugin.yml?

yes

Your plugin would not start if Vault didn;t exist as its a depend

So I've read it. What am I exactly looking for. Sorry for being such an idiot.

[lost matrix]

I didnt even fully understand your problem.
You want to check for clicks in the bottom inventory if the top inventory is one of your custom ones?

[lost matrix]

When do you call setupEconomy?

[rain meadow]

Ah no. So I have a gui. And I'm placing an item into it. I'm trying to detect it but the event only triggers when I take the item out of the gui

[crude loom]

Try to also use InventoryDragEvent?

[lost matrix]

if(event.getClicked is your custom inv) <- Only true if you click the top inv
instead of
if(event.getInv is your custom inv) <- true if you click anywhere while your top inv is the custom one

[broken marlin]

Hi ya'll, I'm new to spigot and I'm trying to learn about good conventions for putting a cooldown on handling events.

For example, lets say we wanted to message a player the block that they're standing on every 1 second whenever they move,
I'm trying to find a good standard to practice this since most events are not handled every single tick.

Here is some java/pseudocode for the ideas

// approach 1: check every tick for player move event and only issue message after 1 second
//   this feels kind of inefficient because you have to listen for every single PlayerMoveEvent, but maybe its the standard?
//   we can also clean this up and handle this as a new event
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
    // keep track of time in map somewhere
    int ticks = SomeTimeKeepingMap();
    if (ticks % 20 == 0) {
      player.message("you are standing on this block %s");
    }
}

// approach 2: issue a BukkitRunnable task to manually check PlayerMoveEvent every 20 seconds (not sure how to manually listen though)
//   sucky because infinite loop but more efficient than the first
//   also sucky because this seems like spaghetti code and not a correct approach for the problem
public class MessagePlayerAboutBlockBelowTask extends BukkitRunnable {
    private final JavaPlugin plugin;
    private int counter;

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // check event on time
        if (counter % 20 && plugin.listenForPlayerMoveEvent()) {
            player.message("you are standing on this block %s");
        }
    }
}

// and then later start this task on plugin enable

// approach 3: this was my first intuitive approach
//   I truly don't believe this is possible but maybe I'm missing something that makes this a standard convention

// Listener.java
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
    // run task that constantly checks every second and cancels when no more player movement
    BukkitTask task = new MessagePlayerAboutBlockBelowTask(plugin).runTask(plugin);

    // make listener synchronously wait for task to finish (I don't think this method exists anywhere)
    this.waitForTaskToFinish(task);
}

[lost matrix]

Tricky. There are several ways of handling that.

Async board update?

[rain meadow]

so its just the first part of the code. The if (e.getview etc) You can ignore the NBT and item data etc and the rest after that

[broken marlin]

what's an async board update?

[covert karma]

any1 know?

[crimson comet]

Headsweeper is minesweeper using heads in minecraft. I meant in response to 7smile7 as solution for my problem

where I update the minesweeper board asynchronously.

[broken marlin]

that's a pretty cool concept o:

[lost matrix]

Here is the problem of #1 (and #3)
If the player stands still on a block without moving then he will never be notified.

[broken marlin]

The example I put is not the best use case, but I am specifically wondering about how we can put cooldowns on listening to events. I specifically tweaked the problem to "whenever the player moves". That's my bad though

But yeah in that case if we just want every 1 second regardless of player movement, we would just loop through forever with a task I think

[small current]

this is just generics in java at its finest

[harsh totem]

so I have this line: private final JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
and I use obj.remove() and obj.put() and it works fine but no json file is created and idk why

its json-simple

[ivory sleet]

I mean

[cinder spindle]

can you help me a bit? I cant use gradle thats it

[ivory sleet]

you need to write the object through some dumpster

[harsh totem]

wdym

[lost matrix]

There are very few circumstances where adding a cooldown on an event makes any sense.
But here is a trivial approach

  private static final long MAX_MILLIS = 1000L;
  private final Map<UUID, Long> moveEventTimestamps = new HashMap<>();

  public void onMove(PlayerMoveEvent event) {
    long lastMoved = moveEventTimestamps.computeIfAbsent(event.getPlayer().getUniqueId(), key -> 0L);
    if(System.currentTimeMillis() < lastMoved + MAX_MILLIS) {
      return;
    }
    event.getPlayer().sendMessage("You moved.");
  }

[ivory sleet]

use JSONParser ytg

[lost matrix]

Whats wrong with just using Gson (which is already included in Spigot)

[lost matrix]

https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-gradle/

[broken marlin]

I see, thank you @lost matrix! This kind of looks like approach #1 that I have. This is really insightful. I didn't think it would be based on uniqueness of users as well.

[lethal coral]

is there any way that I could generalize this

[lost matrix]

More context pls. This looks like a design problem. Casting is the only way to infer type arguments here.

[broken marlin]

Does anyone have any public github repos available of their own plugin projects that you wouldn't mind sharing? I think it would be nice to learn by example 😅

[lethal coral]

so basically I'm making a skript addon. I have to make an enum so that I can correctly register the persistent data types and allow the users to just type those in (since they're variables in the actual persistentdatatype class)

This is the enum

public enum PersistentDataType{
    SHORT(org.bukkit.persistence.PersistentDataType.SHORT),
    INTEGER(org.bukkit.persistence.PersistentDataType.INTEGER),
    LONG(org.bukkit.persistence.PersistentDataType.LONG),
    FLOAT(org.bukkit.persistence.PersistentDataType.FLOAT),
    DOUBLE(org.bukkit.persistence.PersistentDataType.DOUBLE),
    STRING(org.bukkit.persistence.PersistentDataType.STRING);
    /*
    Removed the below tags due to issues setting & getting
    INTEGER_ARRAY(org.bukkit.persistence.PersistentDataType.INTEGER_ARRAY),
    LONG_ARRAY(org.bukkit.persistence.PersistentDataType.LONG_ARRAY);*/

    private final org.bukkit.persistence.PersistentDataType<?, ?> type;

    <Z, T> PersistentDataType(org.bukkit.persistence.PersistentDataType<T, Z> type){
        this.type = type;
    }

    public org.bukkit.persistence.PersistentDataType<?, ?> getType() {
        return type;
    }
}

[ruby fjord]

since Which spigot API version CustomModelData, in ItemMeta class has been implemented?

[lethal coral]

and I don't want to have to switch each and every one of those to supply the type in the PersistentDataContainer#set() method, the whole reason of why I'm trying to save the var in each enum value

[lost matrix]

  @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
  public void apply(PersistentDataContainer container, PersistentDataType<?, ?> type, NamespacedKey key, Object value) {
    container.set(key, (PersistentDataType<?, Object>) type, value);
  }

[lethal coral]

a-ha!

thank you sir

[harsh totem]

it says fileNotFound

        JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
        try (Reader reader = new FileReader("src/main/resources/data.json")) {
            JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) parser.parse(reader);
            jsonObject.put(location,amplifier);
        } catch (IOException | ParseException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }```

but it's here

[tender shard]

your file is not in src/main/resources/data.json

it's in /data.json

also I doubt that you can just use a FileReader to read a resource

[tardy delta]

you can just do plugin.getResource

to get an inputstream iirc

[harsh totem]

it still doesn't find it

[tender shard]

as I said, you cannot just use a FileReader because you don't have any file at that path

you only have a resource in your .jar

so you do plugin.getResource or plugin.saveResource as fourteen said

where else would it be? o0

[harsh totem]

I was told that it must be there

[tender shard]

yes

it belongs into resources

[iron glade]

yea it has to be there

[tender shard]

that's correct

it would be weird to have it anywhere else

[harsh totem]

wait so what about the fileNotFound problem?

[tender shard]

I told you thrice. use getResource

everything in "resources" gets put into the root "folder" of your .jar

whether it ends up in your plugins data folder depends whether you tell your plugin save it there

[harsh totem]

try (Reader reader = new FileReader(plugin.getResource("data.json"))) {
Cannot resolve constructor 'FileReader(InputStream)'

[tender shard]

Yes, you cannot use a FileReader without a File

use an InputStreamReader

[harsh totem]

what

[tender shard]

you save it to file of course

JavaPlugin#saveResource("/config.yml") for example takes the config.yml out of the .jar and saves it

in the data folder

[tender shard]

what are you even trying to do?

what do you need data.json for?

you can easily save included files with saveResource()

[harsh totem]

save location as key and integer as value like in hashmap but i want it to be saved after restart and reload so i want to use json

how would you have done this?

[tender shard]

but why do you have a json file included in your .jar?

[harsh totem]

shouldn't it be there?

[tender shard]

no, why?

[harsh totem]

whereelse it would be saved if not in there

[tender shard]

in the plugin's data folder

like in /plugins/ChestSort but definitely not inside the .jar itsef lol

[harsh totem]

i don't see any data folder in the project

[tender shard]

of course not. the data folder is on the server

plugins/ChestSort/...

that's the data folder

[harsh totem]

ok

[tender shard]

it's where an admin expects to find the config.yml file

there you can save your json file

File myJson = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "myJson.json");

[tardy delta]

plugin#saveResource -> will save the provided file from the resources folder to the datafolder of the plugin, so /server/plugins/<your plugin>

[pale egret]

does anyone know a good server host that is pretty cheap and has good performance

[quaint mantle]

Minejut

[tardy delta]

and if (!myJson.exists()) plugin.saveResource("myjson.json");

[harsh totem]

can you send me a basic example plugin because i actually don't understand what to do?
i'll understand if not

[tender shard]

parsing comments

MemoryConfiguration.options().parseComments(true);

[iron glade]

no I just use saveDefaultConfig() in the onEnable

[tender shard]

saveDefaultConfig() will save the comments.

[iron glade]

as I thought parseComments is true by default

[tender shard]

saveDefaultConfig() simply saves the file exactly as it is

[iron glade]

why is this then only putting the header as a comment

the config

[tender shard]

I highly suspect that you save the file manually again later instead of only calling saveDefaultConfig

[iron glade]

I have to check that but I can't remember touching it again after loading it

[tender shard]

is this the result of doing NOTHING besides calling "saveDefaultConfig()"?

i've been waiting for half an hour after the villagers were dead and nothing happens.
any ideas?

[tender shard]

that definitely does not look correct. Print out the whole statement before executing it. For example why are you adding 0 + 0 + 0? And why are you using PreparedStatements and still manually insert the values?

[tender shard]

doesn't a player have to be there somehow and get killed or sth?

[modest garnet]

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

[tender shard]

do you know basic SQL?

because that cannot possibly work

[harsh totem]

you're supposed to lose if all the villagers in a raid are dead

[tender shard]

didnt know. no idea then

your SQL statement should look like this:

[modest garnet]

im new but ive watched some videos on it are u able to alert me to my mistake

[tender shard]

PreparedStatement statement = ...prepareStatement("INSERT INTO players (ID, NAME, UUID, BALANCE, MINECOINS, CRYSTALS) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");

[sacred mountain]

which one?

the vlaueOf

[modest garnet]

this look better?

[tender shard]

yes, that looks way better! and this could even possibly work. except that you used 5 for crystals. should be 6

[sacred mountain]

toString will throw npe right if null

[tender shard]

valueOf is null safe

[sacred mountain]

but valueof will return 'null'

[tender shard]

    public static String valueOf(Object obj) {
        return (obj == null) ? "null" : obj.toString();
    }```

[ivory sleet]

toString is nice if you wanna assert non nullness

else go with valueOf

[tender shard]

someObj.toString() = NPE if someObj is null

[sacred mountain]

this does?

[tender shard]

String.valueOf(someObj) is "null" if someObj is null

[tender shard]

that's the source code of String.valueOf

[sacred mountain]

oh right

thanks :)

[modest garnet]

on column 1 it is a ID value how do i get mysql to just iterate it for me

[tender shard]

is the ID column set to AUTO_INCREMENT in your sql table?

[modest garnet]

yes

[tender shard]

okay then simply do not provide the ID in your statement

one sec

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

here - you simply do not tell it about ID and then mysql will use the default value which in this is the auto incremented value

[modest garnet]

ahh ok yes ty

[iron glade]

How do I keep the comments when changing a value in the config?

[tender shard]

yourConfig.options().parseComments(true)

[iron glade]

like, let's say I do getConfig().set("SomeValue", true);

after that I would have to use saveConfig() ?

[tender shard]

I think so

[iron glade]

but saveConfig() removes the comments

[tender shard]

even when you set parseComments(true) ?

[iron glade]

I'll try

substring?

[tender shard]

yeah of course - substr

if(myString.length() > 1024) {
  myString = myString.substring(0,1024);
}

I normally put that into a method if I need it more than once

    public static String subStringIfTooLong(String string, int length) {
        if(string.length() <= length) return string;
        return string.substring(0,length);
    }```

[iron glade]

yep still removing the comments when I use saveConfig()

but how else would I save the config after I changed a value in it?

[quaint mantle]

Sorry for this being a simple question, I’m just unable to find the answer online.
Would ProxyServer#getPlayer(uuid)#getName() be able to return the uuid of a player that has joined the bungee network but is currently offline?

[subtle folio]

Can I make a new thread and run bukkit schedulers on it?

[lost matrix]

No. Bungeecord is a Proxy that handles live connections. No offline data is stored there.

[lost matrix]

Are those two independent questions?

[subtle folio]

on the new thread..

[quaint mantle]

Thanks for helping

[lost matrix]

So first of all: You cant run a scheduler. A scheduler schedules tasks.
Im not entirely sure what you are asking. But the BukkitScheduler is thread safe which means you can schedule runnables
from within another thread context.

[ornate patio]

how do i get the default no permission message

I want to get a command's no permission message, but if it doesn't exist, then get the actual server default message, ("I'm sorry, but you do not have permission...")

[lost matrix]

So this

new Thread(() -> Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(SpigotSandbox.this, () -> System.out.println("Hi"))).start();

Or this

CompletableFuture.runAsync(() -> Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(SpigotSandbox.this, () -> System.out.println("Hi")));

Or this

ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
executorService.execute(() -> Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(SpigotSandbox.this, () -> System.out.println("Hi")));

Is completely safe.

Hey, I am trying to prevent players from using commands while in an active arena match in my PvP plugin. It seems to me that cancelling the command in the PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent is the best solution, however I can not get this event to trigger what so ever. Any ideas as to why it won't run?

[lost matrix]

Forgot to register the listener?

[oak thorn]

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new Main(), this);

That should do it, in the onEnable(). Right?

[lost matrix]

Is Main your JavaPlugin class?

[oak thorn]

Yup. Can I not do EventHandling in the JavaPlugin class?

[subtle folio]

naming main class main

[lost matrix]

Then your plugin will just crash and not even load.

[subtle folio]

You can but I would use this instead of new Main()

[lost matrix]

^

[oak thorn]

Hm, odd. It runs fine, but that explains why the listener ain't working haha. I'll try separating them. Thanks 🙂

Replacing new Main() with "this" fixed it actually. But would it be beneficial for me to separating anyways?

[lost matrix]

Yes. There is a code principle called "single responsibility". Which boils down to: A class should only have one single purpose and nothing else.

Separation of concerns is another one that tells you to... separate your concerns. Its more abstract but still applies.

[oak thorn]

Aha, makes sense! I'll make a separate class for listeners then. Thanks for clearing things up for me guys, very new to spigot development so forums like these are invaluable 🙂

For one thing you need a return in the command when you check if the sender is a player

[shadow gazelle]

oh, wait

[brave sparrow]

Lol

[shadow gazelle]

how the hell did I not notice that

[brave sparrow]

Ding

[shadow gazelle]

            if (!inventory.getResult().isSimilar(emptySoulVial()) && inventory.contains(soularium(), 1)) {
                inventory.setResult(new ItemStack(Material.AIR));
            } else if (inventory.getResult().isSimilar(emptySoulVial()) && (!inventory.contains(soulGlass(), 3)
                    || !inventory.contains(soularium(), 1))) {
                inventory.setResult(new ItemStack(Material.AIR));

🤦‍♂️

[brave sparrow]

That’ll do it

[shadow gazelle]

Now I wonder if the issue with the drop event is caused by something stupid like that, too

[lost matrix]

You should identify custom items by tags in their PersistentDataContainer

[shadow gazelle]

as in add a custom tag to the items?

[steep nova]

Is it possible to find when the ender dragon egg breaks then?

[lost matrix]

Hm. Paper has a "EntityRemoveFromWorldEvent" which is launched for sure.
Try checking out if the EntityDropItemEvent is called.

[upper tendon]

How do you clear advancements from a player?

[shadow gazelle]

nice

some plugin in my server is messing with my plugin

[paper oxide]

how would I stop players from opening any chest ?

[eternal oxide]

in the InteractEvent check if its a Chest and cancel the event

[paper oxide]

1.8*

[shadow gazelle]

Still the same

[pastel juniper]

I made a custom snowball with PersistentDataContainer, when I throw the snoball does it keep it's PDC???

[eternal oxide]

no, you have to apply it to the projectile

[pastel juniper]

ohhh

Can I spawn a projectile with custom texture???

[eternal oxide]

yes

[pastel juniper]

how???

[shadow gazelle]

As in I should add a custom tag to identify the item?

[eternal oxide]

Player#launchProjectile and set your custom Item

?paste

[undone axle]

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

[eternal oxide]

https://paste.md-5.net/ozahetilor.java This is an Example of Launching snowballs with different items.

It puts MetaData on the Snowball, but you can use PDC too

It allows you to throw spawn eggs instead of having to place them

[pastel juniper]

https://paste.md-5.net/adewazuref.cs I want to add this to snowball meta.setCustomModelData(0000);

[eternal oxide]

if you are using custom model data then get teh meta and set it. Don;t forget to put the meta back on the snowball

[pastel juniper]

And how am I supposed to do this???

[steep nova]

EntityDropItemEvent worked. Thank you!

How do I check whether the ender dragon egg has been broken by a piston?

[jagged goblet]

Can someone explains me what is the purpose of Maven/Gradle? Cause I can't figure it out myself, it's like doing everything I've done so far but everytime I need to add a dependency I have to copy paste some stuff in pom.xml

[untold jewel]

So I'm making a /target <player> plugin. When you do /target <player> and he is online you get a GUI which you can use to effect the specified player. For example click in the inventory to kill. But it seems like I cant figure out how to store the args[0] as a UUID for my Listener class. Since when I use the GUI it should execute it

I dont know if that made any sense but

[pastel juniper]

It made

I 've made sth similar

[eternal oxide]

Maven/Gradle is a dependency manager. It handles all teh resources your project needs, builds shades and packages your jar

[untold jewel]

So do you know what I should do?

[pastel juniper]

Yes

Give me a second

[untold jewel]

I can also send the classes if needed'

[young shell]

Is it possible to convert BlockData to MaterialData or the other way around?

[eternal oxide]

No they are different things

[jagged goblet]

So for instance I want to had a dependency to my plugin, I just need to copy past the given code in pom.xml? And that's it?

[eternal oxide]

However MaterialData is depreciated so you should not be using it

[eternal oxide]

yes

[untold jewel]

I want to know how I can use or store the target in my Listener calls

[jagged goblet]

And what should I do if it doesn't find the dependency xD?

[untold jewel]

class

[eternal oxide]

make sure you have the right repository included in your pom

[pastel juniper]

So could you explain the problem again???

[untold jewel]

I need to know how I can use the target in my Listener calls. To do target.setHealth(0); etc.

[pastel juniper]

ohhhh

[jagged goblet]

I just have to copy <dependency> ... <\dependency> into <dependencies>...<\dependencies> and same thing for repository, right?

[sharp token]

That's not very helpful. Especially in a community where we are all here to learn and teach each other.

[eternal oxide]

Some dependencies are in different repositories, so you have to have both

[sharp token]

@untold jewel can you send your class and tell me what the exact issue is?

[untold jewel]

I can, thank you

[grand flint]

What do you call this and how can I change it

[untold jewel]

Commands: https://paste.md-5.net/otoyisovan.java

[humble tulip]

Playercount

Listen to serverlistpingevent

[untold jewel]

So when I do /target [player] and the player is online it opens a GUI which I can then use to "punish" the target with. So if I click a block inside the GUI it kills the targeted player

But I cant access args[0] or target from my listeners class

and I dont know how I can store the target or use it

[humble tulip]

Args 0 is the player

So the method u use to open the gui

It should open it for the player

[grand flint]

Thank you

[humble tulip]

But also let that method takenthe target as well

I cant click your listener class btw

[sharp token]

/target [arg0] [arg1] [etc]

yes like he said arg0 is going to be the player name

[untold jewel]

I just want to know how I can access target from my listeners class

[humble tulip]

U need to have a map somewhere

[sharp token]

Player target = event.get.... etc

[untold jewel]

I have target = bukkkit.getPlayerExact(args[0]) but in listeners I want to use target.setHealth(0)

[humble tulip]

Maybe in ur main class

[sharp token]

yes

[humble tulip]

So map<uuid, uuid>

First uuid is of the sender, second is target

When they run tje command, put them in this map

When they close tje inv remove them

The*

The same way u put targetgui in the constructor, u can put targetmap

[sharp token]

Wait so I have a question about your plugin design, how come you're listening for an inventory click event?

[humble tulip]

It's for a gui

[untold jewel]

I am opening the GUI which im going to punish the target wtih

so when I click a block inside the GUI it kills the targeted player

[sharp token]

Ohhhhhh I see.

and you want that instance of the target to be in your listener class?

Is that what you're asking?

[untold jewel]

Yes so I can use target.something

I know maybe these questions are extremly noobie but I appreciate the help !

[humble tulip]

Oblak

[novel wyvern]

i am having problems with bungee and connecting it is telling me SEVERE in everyone and it will not let me do the server command to all of the servers

[humble tulip]

Create a map in ur main class

[untold jewel]

okay..

[humble tulip]

And pass that map to ur listener and command

[eternal oxide]

you don;t need a map, just pass the variables

[humble tulip]

I dont know how his plugin layout looks

[untold jewel]

how would I do that

[sharp token]

Make a static variable for your class, then make a getter for that variable in that class

then in your other class use ClassName.get();

that's how you could access something from another class

But this is much easier if you just do this all with a listening I don't understand why you need a command

I recommend rewriting the plugin

[eternal oxide]

@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {

if (!(sender instanceof Player)) return;
Player target = Bukkit.getPlayerExact(arg[0]);
if (target != null) new PunishGUI((Player)sender, target);```

[sharp token]

You could do something like a punish command that gives you an item and when you click that item it opens up a GUI that you can interact with

this eliminates the need to share any variables

[eternal oxide]

create a PunishGUI class with a constructor which accepts those values

[untold jewel]

Have to say I'm a little confused but I'll give it a go

[eternal oxide]

as you are talking about args I assume you start with a command to open your GUI

[sharp token]

The correct way to do it is what he said, but if you're not there yet, just try what I told you

Have a command that gives you a specific "punish" item

then do everything in the listener

[eternal oxide]

you don;t need an item

the command opens the UI with all the options in it

[sharp token]

That's what I recommended before as well

[eternal oxide]

yep

[sharp token]

Idk I'm just trying to give him options

[novel wyvern]

i am having problems with bungee and connecting it is telling me SEVERE in everyone and it will not let me do the server command to all of the servers

[eternal oxide]

If he has an "admin" type item in game he has to do all sorts of crap to ensure it doesn't end up in a players hands

[sharp token]

That's true yes

indeed

[untold jewel]

ElgarL do you want my InventoryManager class too?

[eternal oxide]

I'm not writing it for you 🙂

just implement that code I showed you into your existing command

for a start

your IDE will even tell you there is no PunishGUI class and give you an option to create one

[untold jewel]

I have a targetGUI class

[eternal oxide]

ignore that for now

[sharp token]

in your GUI just make a constructor and initialize your field variables to whatever is fed into the constructor

[eternal oxide]

I want you to use the IDE suggestion to create a Punish class as it will also create teh constructor for you

[vocal pine]

man im at a loss for how to figure out the next exit a minecart will take on a corner
so i have the actual momentum vector
i have the position along either X or Z
i have the pair of exits (relative to the rail it's on)
but i can't figure out how to use these things together to work it out, i keep getting stuck in the same loop

1. need the exit to figure out if it's past the midpoint (flips velocity)
2. need to know if it's past the midpoint to figure out the exit

the problem that keeps complicating it is the momentum vector could be just wrong if the player holds a sideways key it'll add momentum that way

[eternal oxide]

get the Direction of the minecart not the velocity

[vocal pine]

wait

the actual rotation right

Ya hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Thanks i think that could be what i need to work it out

just spent 3hrs staring blankly at it waiting for an idea lmao

[untold jewel]

Thansks for the help but it really does not seem to compute

[eternal oxide]

?paste ok show me your command class

[undone axle]

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

[untold jewel]

Listener: https://paste.md-5.net/uxeyakural.java
Command: https://paste.md-5.net/icepozutuv.java
InventoryManager: https://paste.md-5.net/ojidemiluk.java
targetGUI: https://paste.md-5.net/bohojekexu.java

[eternal oxide]

ok scrap your Listener class....

[untold jewel]

throw it out the window

[eternal oxide]

You need a class that handles your GUI, it will have its own Listener, so you'll be combining your targetGUI and your listener class

however, this needs to be useablke by more than one admin so you need to instance your targetGUI class

um, your code seems super over the top complex

ok let me throw an example together

[untold jewel]

complex..

thank you friend

[undone ruin]

Is there a way to clone an Entity?
Like have a major Entity (or its data) and use its information to create a new minor Entity?

[lost matrix]

You can achieve that by using NMS. Clone the NBT tag and create a new Entity then load the NBT tag with the new one.

[brave sparrow]

Spigot as an API has a level of prerequisite Java knowledge you can’t function without. I’m happy to help someone with issues or confusions they have about the api or minecraft, but they need to invest some time in learning the language first

[undone ruin]

Oh, I don't mean NBT or something like, I mean EVERYTHING, like Health, Passengers, Inventory, Metadata etc

[lost matrix]

Thats all serialized into an NBT component (except the passenger)

[undone ruin]

oh, you gave me a good idea

thank you

[eternal oxide]

start a thread

[untold jewel]

Thread

[eternal oxide]

sorry I tagged the wrong person 😦

oh

you just registered ok

[steep nova]

How do you prevent a player from giving the allay a certain item? I tried PlayerInteractEntityEvent but it didnt work

[eternal oxide]

InventoryDragEvent

prevent teh player dropping the item

[steep nova]

you have to right-click to give an item to an allay, not drop it, right?

[ornate patio]

using optifine, it's possible to have multiple variations for the same color or style with a resource pack. Would it be possible to choose which one of these variations is used server-side?

for example the horse color "chestnut" has 5 different colors that are randomly picked from the resource pack, and the horse style "black" has another 7 different variations

i want to choose which variation to use

idk if this is possible though

because on a server restart the variations randomize again

(ping me if you respond pls)

[polar cypress]

Cannot determine path to 'tools.jar' library for 17 (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17.0.3.1)

wat

is my intellij outdated or something

[kind hatch]

I don’t believe this is currently possible if Optifine is the one responsible for the variations. If the resource pack is handling things and has variations included, you could manually set which one you want by assigning custom data. However it would have to be an explicit call.

[ornate patio]

Yea the thing is it’s not custom model data, optifine randomly chooses a new variation on its own

I was just wondering if there was some kind of "Optifine resource pack" plugin that let me control it

Because what’s also interesting is that the same mob looks exactly the same on two different clients

[kind hatch]

Unfortunately, I think that there would have to be an optifine setting added for controlling variations. I think I tried to do something similar and found that optifine just does variations with no way to control it by default.

I’m not an expert on resource packs, but I do know that controlling variation is possible with custom data and if the pack is the one handling the textures, it should work just fine even for optifine players.

I know that you can do some things with a resource pack that would only work for players who have optifine installed. (Custom enchantment book tier textures is one example)

@ornate patio

[polar cypress]

why doesnt extend javaplugin work now :/

[vocal cloud]

Cause you're missing the dependency

[polar cypress]

i added the jarfile as a library

[vocal cloud]

Use a package manager like maven

[polar cypress]

maven has all those weird parameters for adding dependencies

[drowsy helm]

wdym

its a simple copy paste lol

far more reliable than jar files

[eternal oxide]

?bootstrap

[undone axle]

Bootstrap Jar
The main spigot-1.18.jar is now a bootstrap jar which contains all libraries. You cannot directly depend on this jar. You should depend on Spigot/Spigot-API/target/spigot-api-1.18-R0.1-SNAPSHOT-shaded.jar, or the entire contents of the bundler directory from your server, or use a dependency manager such as Maven or Gradle to handle this automatically.

Please read the release notes for further information: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/9-years-of-spigotmc-spigot-bungeecord-1-18-1-18-1-release.534760/#post-4305163

[crude estuary]

Thanks CafeBabe

[polar cypress]

yea i was just told that minecraft shifted to a bundler style jar

[golden turret]

if I send an entity packet like spawn but the entity is far from the player, when the player comes near to the entity, will it show up? What about switching worlds?

[tender shard]

weird parameters?

[compact haven]

kekw maybe they don’t understand that maven just makes each group, artifact, and version more verbose

grade literally the same things just in 1 string

[subtle folio]

Say I have a list of YAML strings like this: ```yaml
example:

• "one"
• "cars"

how would I get all values of example?

[tender shard]

getStringList("example")

[subtle folio]

so like config.getConfigurationSection("bad-words.").getStringList("bad-words.")?

[tender shard]

List<String> list = getConfig().getStringList("example");
for(String line : list) {
  // ...
}

erm wait

no

[subtle folio]

oh bruh

im brain dead

ty

its too late for me to be programming

[tender shard]

if your config look slike this:

bad-words:
- asd
- asd

then just getConfig().getStringList("bad-words");

[subtle folio]

yep yep

asd asd

[tender shard]

truer words have never been spoken

[subtle folio]

100%

[subtle folio]

am back, for some reason my List is empty but my config.yml in my server contains a bunch of strings..

public static boolean isOffending(String text) {
        String[] words = text.split(" ");
        Bukkit.getLogger().info(Arrays.toString(words));
        List<String> noNoWords = badWords();
        Bukkit.getLogger().info(noNoWords.toString());
        for (String s : words) {
            Bukkit.getLogger().info(s);
            if (noNoWords.contains(s.toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT))) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }```

ignore the logging statements

public static List<String> badWords() {
        return Tazpvp.getInstance().config.getStringList("bad-words.");
    }``` badWords function

what about your plugin.yml ?

[harsh totem]

right😅

[subtle folio]

nice one 😛

[harsh totem]

this is the error org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidPluginException: Unsupported API version 1.18.2
this is in the pom file <version>1.18.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

hello I am have an issue with AdvancementDisplay.getType() intellij is not giving me any code errors but i'm getting build errors
oddly enough the error goes away when I simply comment the snippet out

    class file is invalid for class org.bukkit.advancement.AdvancementDisplayType
    Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.

im not the most java savvy but it looks like there is no class but an enum there? (correct me if im wrong)

alright thanks so much 🙏 little late to respond sry

[mellow edge]

how can I see the server TPS

I mean how can I get it

[harsh totem]

I have this obj.put("Mama", "Joe"); write();
and this public void write(){ try (PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("data.json"))) { out.write(obj.toString()); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }
and for some reason nothing happens

[glossy venture]

you may have to flush and close it

idk

out.flush();
out.close();

[harsh totem]

what is flush and close

[glossy venture]

flush makes sure all data has been written

so to the disk

as it stores it in a buffer first

in memory

and close closes the file handle i think

allows other code to access it

[harsh totem]

@glossy venture the IDE says that there is no need for out.close and i put out.flush like you said and it still did nothing as before

[glossy venture]

bruh

idk then

[harsh totem]

:(

now I have this try (FileWriter file = new FileWriter("data.json")) { file.write(obj.toJSONString()); file.flush(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } and it still does nothing and there are no errors

I open the json file and it's empty

[tall dragon]

Why not use Files#write

Is so much easier

[harsh totem]

I use file.write()

[native nexus]

public class Json {
    private static final Gson GSON = new GsonBuilder()
            .setPrettyPrinting()
            .create();

    public static void write(Plugin plugin, String fileName, Object object) {
        Path path = check(plugin, fileName);

        try (BufferedWriter bufferedWriter = Files.newBufferedWriter(path, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)) {
            GSON.toJson(object, bufferedWriter);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static <T> T read(Plugin plugin, String fileName, Type type) {
        try {
            BufferedReader bufferedReader = Files.newBufferedReader(check(plugin, fileName), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
            JsonReader jsonReader = new JsonReader(bufferedReader);
            return GSON.fromJson(jsonReader, type);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            return null;
        }
    }

    private static Path check(Plugin plugin, String fileName) {
        Path path = Paths.get(plugin.getDataFolder() + "/" + fileName + ".json");
        try {
            if (!Files.exists(path)) {
                Files.createDirectories(path.getParent());
                Files.createFile(path);
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return path;
    }
``` This is what I always use

[tall dragon]

Yea thats not what i am asking tho

[harsh totem]

@tall dragon if I have this json file:

{

}
``` will Files#write() write it in the middle line or the first line?

[tall dragon]

Pretty sure you can just have a. Empty file

[harsh totem]

I can't

[glossy venture]

pretty sure any write operation will overwrite the contents

[tall dragon]

Yea

It will

[harsh totem]

ok so I shouldn't use it

[tall dragon]

Ah u need to append to it?

[harsh totem]

why doesn't this do anything?
obj is a JSONObject

        try (FileWriter file = new FileWriter("data.json")) {
            file.write(obj.toJSONString());
            file.flush();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }```

[tall dragon]

No idea

I would just load everything im the file as jsonobject. Add what i need to add and write it back using Files#write

[harsh totem]

maybe the path is the problem?

idk

            b.setType(Material.BEDROCK);
            
            Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    state.update(true, false);
                }
            }, 20);
            
        }
    }

Not replacing the block list with bedrock, instead just replacing it with air.
Any fix?

[hybrid spoke]

yeah so debug it

[crude snow]

[short raptor]

Hi guys, I've got this other plugin which has an "API" class with some public methods I want to access from my plugin. How can I do it? There's no wiki or docs at all for this plugin

In fact I had to decompile the jar to see this (but it's only for personal use, not selling/posting myself, don't worry)

[chrome beacon]

1.18.2 has the PlayerProfile API why not use it?

[chrome beacon]

Have you imported the jar to your project?

[short raptor]

I didn't know that was a thing

I'll find out how to do that thx

[chrome beacon]

The world you want to check

Well a String is a String and not a world

You would have to get the world from the String

Bukkt.getWorld(name)

Hello guys, what do I store when I want to store the exact copy of a block, so that whenever I, let's say, right click a different block, it can check whether that block is equal to my stored block?

[onyx fjord]

damn

stranger things season 2 intro has brighter letters

[drowsy helm]

like nbt data aswell?

[neon nymph]

Yes, the more specific the better

[covert karma]

so i am trying to get the command output of Bukkit.dispatchCommand and I am trying to use a wrapper around the console sender to add this to a stringbuilder like shown in this post
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/how-do-i-get-the-output-of-dispatchcommand-command-when-called-by-callsyncmethod.354521/
the thing is, the stringbuilder is just empty all the time, does dispatchcommand not use the specified sender to send the results?

[drowsy helm]

all you really need it material, nbt data and facing direction

[neon nymph]

I see, that's what I figured as well. Is there really no other stuff I might need?

[drowsy helm]

cant really think of any tbh

Alright, thanks for the input! 😄

I imported it into here but I can't really find what to do next

[chrome beacon]

Did you import it with maven?

[short raptor]

I did it like that

Was I supposed to do the "From Maven"?

[chrome beacon]

You should never use that menu if you have a maven project

[short raptor]

Oh

https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html

^ use this to install the jar to your local maven repo then add the dependency to your pom.xml

Is anyone familiar with PacketWrapper? How would I be able to spawn an area effect cloud with meta data?

there is a wrapper to spawn a living entity and one to spawn a (non-living) entity. The living entity wrapper allows to set metadata but the nonliving one doesn't.

An area effect cloud isnt alive right so I should not use the living entity wrapper?
